Good Or Bad Luck: Chapter 36
Beca and Chloe just dropped off Chloe's parents at the airport and are on their way to Emily's grandmother's house. They promised to help the young girl pack her stuff up so she can get everything moved to Beca's apartment. By the end of the week everything had to be settled so Emily's mom could start looking for a retirement home for her grandmother.
Chloe fumbles with the radio which makes Beca laugh. "What are you laughing about?" The redhead asks with an adorable frown. "You, you look adorable when you can't find the right station." The brunette lets out a loud laugh when her girlfriend lets out a frustrated huff. "Oh princess don't be mad uhm how about this, take my phone and plug it in. I have some new mixes I've been working on over the past few days and I really like you to listen to them." Chloe's face lights up and she takes her girlfriend's phone from her hand after it's unlocked.
Less than a minute later the car is filled with music. They sing along for a while until Chloe notices that Beca isn't really into it. "Hey are you ok?" She asks while turning the music down a bit. "Oh yeah, I was just thinking. Our second date kind of got interrupted and I was thinking maybe we could take a rain check?" The brunette's voice sounds really insecure. "Of course, I'd really like to have a rain check. Maybe this time I could plan it?" Beca chuckles lightly. "As long as I'm with you I don't care who plans it."
Beca parks her car with a soft smile. She turns to face the redhead and reaches across the gear shift to take her girlfriend's hands in hers. "Maybe once Emily is settled we can talk about that date again but in the mean time, would you like to come over tonight? Benji is coming over to watch a movie with Emily, maybe we can watch one all together?" Chloe sits back squeezing her girlfriend's hands. "That actually sounds like a great idea, we can have a double date."
"Great, let's ask the kids what they want for dinner. I'll whip something together." Chloe rolls her eyes with a laugh. "How about we just order in some pizza? So you can relax for once?" The brunette rolls her eyes. "You know I don't mind co-" She stops talking when she sees the pointed look the redhead shoots at her. "Pizza it is, princess." Beca clears her throat and tries to look anywhere but at her girlfriend. "Relax Becs, it's alright. How about we go in and help Emily pack so we can start unpacking at your place?"
The brunette agrees and wants to get out of the car. She gets pulled back though and pulled into a gentle yet firm kiss that leaves her breathless. "That's for not being able to do that the past few days. I really missed this." Beca gulps loudly and tries to even out her breathing again. "Y-yeah uh m-me too."
Benji is packing up all of Emily's pictures and stuffed animals. When he puts another stuffed penguin in the box he's holding he can't help but let out a chuckle. "Why are you laughing?" Emily asks with a smile filled frown. "It's noting Em, it's just… you have this entire collection of penguins and I was wondering why." The brunette walks over to the boy and picks up one of the stuffed penguins from the box. "I really love penguins and whenever I find a cute one I buy it. I might have a little problem." Benji sets the box down and steps closer to his girlfriend, taking the stuffed animal and her hands in his. "I find your 'problem' adorable. And it actually gives me an idea, how do you feel about going to the zoo this weekend?"
The loud squeal that Emily produces is more than enough of an answer. "What's going on here?" The loud sound stops abruptly and Benji lets out a laugh. "Hey Beca, you're back early." The brunet watches his cousin and her girlfriend walk into the room. "There was no traffic on the way back. So, what was the squealing about?" Chloe asks with a curious smile. "Oh Benji had the greatest idea. He wants to take me to the zoo."
"You used to love to go to the zoo. I remember when you were little you loved watching the baby gorillas swing from vine to vine. Your dad took us almost every weekend and then…" Beca falls silent. "When they passed away we didn't go back anymore. I guess maybe it's time to reinstate that tradition, huh?" Benji looks at his cousin with a hopeful expression, scared about what the answer could be. "That's actually a great idea. It really has been a long time, maybe we can all go together? If that's alright with all of you?"
Chloe claps her hands excitedly and soon Emily joins as well, leaving Beca and Benji to roll their eyes with loving smiles on their faces. "So B., I guess we're all going to the zoo this weekend." Benji nods his head. "I think you're right." Chloe and Emily share a look that neither Beca nor Benji can decipher before being attack with kisses. Benji easily accepts his fate while Beca first tries to wriggle her way out but gives in when she realizes it's no use. "Alright, alright! How about we finish packing up so we can head home and have a pizza and movie night?"
Benji looks at his cousin with raised eye brows. "Since when do you watch movies?" He asks incredulously. "Since I started dating this nerd… what have you done to me?" This comment of course earns her a jab to her ribs from the redhead. "Ow ok, no jokes I get it." Chloe rolls her eyes but smiles all the way through. "That's alright Becs, but if you don't want to watch a movie we don't have too you know. We can just order some pizza and listen to some music or something?"
"No it's fine, I really don't mind watching a movie wit you guys. I mean I'll probably fall asleep anyway so I'm good." Beca shrugs and picks up and empty box and starts packing the books on the bookshelf. "Hey Beca how about we watch Ghostbusters? I remember you telling me you could at least stand that movie?" The brunette stands still for a moment and then lets out a heavy sigh. "I guess I can give in on this one but I expect a large pizza as compensation." Chloe holds up her hands and agrees. She's already happy that her girlfriend agreed on watching a movie.
Three hours and way too many boxes later the two couples finally managed to get all off Emily's stuff into her new room. Emily looks around with a blissful smile. She still can't believe this was actually happening. "You alright there Em?" The tall brunette shakes her head. "I'm fine, great actually." Beca steps closer to the young girl and wipes away a tear from the girl's cheek. "Are you sure?" Beca asks once again. "Yeah, I uhm I just uhm I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for everything you have done for me."
"Don't worry about it kiddo, it's no trouble at all. And if it makes you feel any better, this way we get to work on songs any time we want." Emily lets out a giggle. "Weirdly enough it does make me feel better." The girls get interrupted by Benji and Chloe coming into the room. "Do you want to unpack now or after eating pizza?" Chloe asks. "Pizza sounds like a great idea, after we can set up a few things and then watch the movi-"
The doorbell interrupts Beca this time and she lets out a growl. "Is that the pizza guy?" Chloe shakes her head. "No, the pizza guy came 15 minutes ago." With a huff the brunette walks out of the room, straight to the front door ad yanks it open. "Stacie? Aubrey? What are you doing here?" Beca stares at the visitors in shock. "We came to see how the move in was going." Beca crosses her arms. "And now the truth please?"
"Fine, Chloe might have texted Aubrey and told her there was going to be pizza and a movie?" Stacie explains with a cheeky grin. "Did she now?" The brunette turns to face her girlfriend with a raised brow and a fake annoyed expression because who can actually be mad at Chloe. The redhead awkwardly waves at her girlfriend. "I'll have a talk with you later… how about you two get settled while I order some more pizza, I doubt that…" She points at the 2 pizzas on the table. "… those two are going to be enough."
The group bursts out in laughter while Beca reaches for her phone. "Fine, I'll order another large 'four cheeses' and a 'vegetarian'. Is that alright with everyone else?" The sarcasm dripping from her voice makes everyone a tiny bit uncomfortable. "Becs can I talk to you for a minute?" Chloe asks gently. "Sure, Stace can you call for pizza?" Beca hands her phone to her best friend with a huff and leads Chloe to her room and closes the door behind them.
The redhead sits down on the edge of the bed, scared to meet the brunette's eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispers softly. "Oh Chloe, no this isn't… princess please look at me. I'm not mad, I swear. A triple date movie night is actually a nice idea." Beca puts her arm around the redhead and pulls her in for a tight hug. "I'm sorry if I made you feel like it wasn't." Chloe nuzzles her nose in Beca's hair. "I should have told you instead of springing it on you."
"Why didn't you tell me?" The brunette asks. "I don't know, I guess all this moving made me realize that we'll never be alone and I wanted to see what a full house would look like." Beca chuckles at the honesty and the adorable crinkle in her girlfriend's forehead. "Oh princess don't worry about that. It's not like we have an infant we have to take care of, Emily is old enough to be left alone. We can sneak out and have a date night. And if you're really worried I can ask Stacie to take the kids out or something. There's nothing to worry about, we'll always find some time alone."
Beca takes a deep breath and looks down at her fingers that are playing with Chloe's. "I know the past week has been hectic. Hell the past months. But now everything is going to settle down and don't forget that both Emily and Benji are off to college in 2 months. We'll have a lot of time to spend alone. Except maybe weekends, I promised Emily I'd do her laundry." Chloe lets out a warm laugh which is followed by a sigh. "You're right, it was stupid of me to worry about that."
"Hey no, it's not stupid. I want you to be able to talk to me about that stuff. Communication is important, remember?" Chloe nods and stays silent for a few minutes, her mind racing a million miles an hour. "Hey uhm Becs?" The brunette hums lightly. "I uhm I think that I'm…" Beca tilts her head slightly as she looks at her girlfriend. "What are you thinking Chlo?" I just wish I could tell you that I love you, but I'm scared to freak you out. The redhead lets out a happy sigh. "It's nothing, I'm just really lucky I have you in my life." Beca kisses Chloe's temple with a smile. "So am I princess, so am I."
"Hey break it up you two, pizza's here and we're starving!" Stacie shouts from the living room with a chorus of "Hurry up.", "I'm starving." and "Movie time." to back her up.
Beca stands up and holds out her hand for Chloe to take. "Let's go or there won't be any pizza left." Chloe quickly agrees and takes the brunette's hand and follows her back into the living room with a blissful smile. Things might be getting hectic for the redhead but she wouldn't want it any other way, because through all of this she gets to know the real Beca Mitchell. A great cousin, friend and girlfriend. And am amazing mom in the future, she's sure of that.
