Chapter 38:

**One Week Later**

"Hey, hey, hey, hey," I heard my ringtone go off.

"You have a Breakfast Club ringtone? Beca Mitchell? Do my ears deceive me?" Jesse spat.

"Shut up," I answered the phone with my good hand. "Hello?"

"Ms. Mitchell, or is it Mrs.?" the other line said.

"It's Ms. Who is this?"

"Ms. Mitchell, this is Georgia Hospital regarding your broken wrist. We need to check up on you. This is the nurse that took care of you."

"Oh, um, okay," I said awkwardly.

"One moment please."

"Who is it?" Jesse asked. I covered the phone with my hand.

"The hospital. They said they needed to check up on me?" I replied. Check up on me?

"Put it on speaker." I hit the speaker button and we listened for the nurse. A few moments later, we heard the sound of breathing coming closer.

"Alright, let's see… this will just be a checklist sort of thing to make sure you're maintaining the rules that we gave you the day you had your incident. First, have you been driving?" she asked.

"No, my boyfriend drove the entire time," I answered. "You can say things too," I said quietly so the nurse wouldn't hear.

"Good. Have you had any sexual contact with your spouse?"

"Uh, no."

"Sadly," Jesse pouted quietly. I shook it off.

"Keep it that way. Only two more weeks. Last question, is it feeling okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine. Any time I accidently try to pick something up with it, it hurts. But other than that, it is getting better," I explained to the nurse.

"Okay. Your appointment is scheduled on May 12th. See you then," she hung up. Well, that was a rather interesting phone call. Some lady calls asking me if I had sex with my boyfriend in the past few weeks. America.

"So, lunch?" he smiled hopefully.

"I was thinking we could invite all the Trebles and Bellas and go out to dinner tonight. Sound good?" I suggested. We were in my room in the Bellas house and the Trebles had been here all day.

"I don't know. That's a lot of money, isn't it?"

"Yeah, but I figured if we all pitched in and paid for our own food then it would add up."

"True. I think it's a great idea Becs," he rubbed my back. "But, we still need lunch."

"I know. We can find something downstairs. Let's go tell the others."

**Later That Night**

All 28 of us, Aubrey, Chloe, Josh, and Rosie included, walked into the Park Lane Tavern together. Well, it's not called the 'Park Lane Tavern' anymore because the idiots who own the place changed it to 'The Pub.' But we all still call it the Tavern. We were seated at a large table, not what you would call 'squished,' but we were close together. We ordered drinks and flipped through the menu to figure out what we were going to eat tonight. "See anything you like?" Jesse disrupted my skimming.

"This looks good," I pointed to one of the food listings. "But then again, so does this…"

"That's the thing about the Tavern, everything is so good," he sighed. "I'm getting the bacon and cheese burger. Life's short right?"

"True. I'm still looking." I'm very indecisive about all of this. I felt a warm touch grab hold of my hand that wasn't in a cast. Jesse leaned down to my height and kissed the top of my nose. He tightened his grip on my hand and pulled me into a kiss. I deepened the kiss after a few moments.

"Aw, you guys are so cute together. But can you save that for when Beca gets her cast off?" Chloe pleaded.

"I agree with the ginger," Fat Amy said. I guess they were right, there were children here. Oops. I pulled away slowly, not taking my eyes off of Jesse. Our ongoing gaze was interrupted by the voice of our waitress.

"Are you all ready to order?" she asked. Everyone nodded in return. After about three minutes, we all had ordered.

**May 12th, Day of Appointment, Two Weeks Later**

Jesse was driving me to the Hospital to get this cast off of my wrist. I was done with not being about to flex it. "Ready Becs?" he smirked. It was 5:00pm at the moment, so of course he had something in mind for later. We walked up to the desk and onto the room that the nurse led us to.

"This won't take long. Sir, it is your choice to wait inside our out of the room," said the doctor that had walked in.

"I'll stay," Jesse sat down. After about thirty minutes, the cast was off and my wrist felt normal. I mean, as normal as a just-recovered broken wrist can get. "Yay!" he cheered.

"Yay," I agreed.

"Just sign the rest of the paperwork and bring it to the front desk and you may go," the doctor instructed. We both nodded and he exited the room. Jesse consoled me and smiled brightly.

"Excited much?" I joked.

"You have no idea." Jesse and I made our way to the front desk, signed the papers, and left the building into the car. We drove to the empty Bellas house, even though everyone else was at the Trebles'.

"Why aren't we with the rest?" I asked.

"I promised you something," he smirked.

"Oh, right. Why don't we do that tonight, and go hang you with our friends right now."

"Okay," he groaned. "Climb on my back?"

"Jesse…" I sighed.

"Beca…" he matched my tone.

"Fine." Jesse hunched over and I put my arms around his neck and climbed on. "Onward!" I instructed. He adjusted himself so I was higher up. We-er, Jesse-ran over to the Trebles' house across the grass. We tumbled in laughing and met everyone's gaze. "Oh, don't look at us like you've never gotten a piggy back ride."

"Actually I-" Fat Amy started, but she didn't need to finish.

"What are you guys doing?" Jesse asked.

"We're trying to pick out a movie to watch. Wanna join us?" Jessica pondered through the wall of movies that belonged to Jesse.

"Sure," he happily agreed without my saying. I guess I would have had to agree anyway. "What genre?"

"We're looking for a comedy I guess," said Donald.

"Ooh, in that case, '21 and Over' is a good one!" Jesse flipped. Everyone nodded in agreement and Jesse popped the movie into the Blu-ray player. He climbed on the recliner, a brown leather chair that was extremely comfortable and roomy, as I sat on top of him. He was basically cradling me. As the movie began, I could tell this movie would be hilarious.

**Later That Night**

We walked into Jesse's room and did what we haven't done for six weeks. Oh, how I missed this feeling. His hands lowered to my butt as we intensely kissed. He picked me up when I wrapped my legs around his waist. "You know," I said in between breaths. "You look like Casey in that movie we just watched."

"I don't see it," Jesse claimed. "Can we spend this night with no distractions?"

"Be my guest," I smiled.

WEEKEND! Meaning normal length updates, yay. Please leave a review! I'm really close to 200 (:
