"So how does that godmother thing works?"
It's been a month since the twins birth and Beca and Chloe were shopping for their godson. Apparently there was some sort of party to welcome the two babies into their family.
Beca who didn't have any experience about being a godmother didn't understand it at all. Yeah, she had accepted her role as godmother instantly but she later realised that she hadn't a clue about what it actually meant to be a godmother.
"Well, besides the right to spoil your godchild rotten, you generally promise to be there when he needs you. Like if they have some issues they don't want to discuss with their parents. And of course, if something happens to the parents you're most likely the first person on the list to care for the child" Chloe explained.
"Wait what? I'm not even capable of keeping my plants alive, let alone a kid" Beca said.
"That's why a child has at least two godparents silly" Chloe responded with a bright smile.
"Oh okay."
"What are we supposed to get him anyway?" Beca wanted to know.
She didn't understand the whole welcome in the family party. They were babies. It wasn't like they already had a concept of life or something.
"Just something that reflects us as godmothers. Something with a meaning that will last the rest of his life" Chloe answered.
"The kid has literally my name. Isn't that lasting enough?" Beca asked.
She didn't like shopping at all but somehow Chloe had convinced her to go together and buy something for Mitchell. They had been going in and out of stores for almost two hours now and she was getting grumpy.
"Can't we just buy him a cute outfit or something and get over with this? I'm getting hungry" Beca whined.
"What part of a lasting gift didn't you understand?" the redhead asked slightly impatient.
They were walking through the music store when suddenly something caught Beca's eyes. Behind glass there was a collection of various music boxes. From the classic ones with a ballerina on top to silver ones that were absolutely beautiful. But there was one specific music box that Beca was interested in. It was a simple one that didn't shine as much as the silver ones, but was beautiful nonetheless. When she asked a store assistant if she could look at it closely, he grabbed it for her. She asked what it was made of. When the store assistant told her it was made of titanium and that it played the song Titanium when you wind it. Right then she knew that it would be the perfect gift for baby Mitchell.
"Chlo, come here. I just found the perfect gift" she yelled.
"Becs, it's perfect. Do you think we can get it engrave?" the redhead exclaimed excitedly.
"I'm sure it's possible" Beca reacted.
When they purchased the music box, they were finally going to get some food.
After spending five unnecessary hours in the mall, Beca was relieved to finally having some food in her system. All they had to do now, was waiting until the engraving of the music box was ready.
Beca was happy to be finally in the comfort of her own home after an overwhelming day. She loved to spend time with Chloe, but being around so many people the whole day had worned her out both physically and emotionally. Apparently, being alone for ten years did that. Plus she's never been someone to be very sociable.
Sitting at her desk in het music studio, she couldn't help but to think about the redhead. Since the birth of Legacy's twins, they had grown closer but they didn't want to rush things.
Deep down inside she knew she was ready for the next step. She couldn't stop imagining living together with Chloe in her house or any house really. She didn't care where she lived as long as it was together with her favourite redhead. But she knew Chloe still wasn't ready for the next step. Too many things still needed to be fixed before she was ready.
One of those things were her explanation as why she collapsed on national television. Chloe had asked her a few times about it, but every time she had answered she wasn't ready to talk about it. And she really wasn't. She knew that sooner or later she had to tell Chloe the reason. As long as she didn't, there was no point in living together the redhead had told her. She knew Chloe was right but at the same time Beca knew that the redhead hadn't told her everything herself. It was a long road they had to take but Beca knew it was a road well worth taking.
All those thoughts flooded through her mind after today and she was exhausted. Sighing because of all the things she still had to fix, she fell asleep behind her desk.
Two hours later she woke up because her phone wouldn't stop ringing. When she recognised the incoming number, her heart nearly stopped. She wasn't in the mood to deal with the caller but she knew that it wouldn't be wise to ignore the call.
"What is it this time?" she asked timidly as she answered the call.
