This is the end of our journey as we jump 19 years into the future where Beca and Chloe are getting ready to celebrate their 20th Wedding Anniversary.


Beca stood in the doorway of their bedroom smiling at Chloe.

"What?," Chloe asked.

"I'm just in awe of how hot I still find you after almost 20 years of marriage," Beca said with a smile.

"Why thank you," Chloe said walking over and hugging Beca. "You're still pretty hot yourself. I can't believe we are both on the downhill slide to sixty."

"And yet I still feel like a teenage horndog when I'm around you," Beca said grabbing Chloe's ass causing her to laugh.

"Stop," Chloe said. "The kids should start arriving soon. I can't believe all the kids are going to be here for Christmas."

"They're coming for our anniversary," Beca said. "Coming early to spend Christmas with us, was just a bonus."

"I don't care why," Chloe said. "I'm just glad we're all going to be under the same roof. Since the triplets left for college it's been too quiet around here."

"Mom? Mama?," they heard their 24-year-old daughter Sophie's voice call from downstairs.

Both women squealed and hurried downstairs. Beca got there first and grabbed her oldest daughter in a hug. Chloe wrapped her arms around the two and joined in the hug.

"Soph!," Chloe said. "I can't believe your here."

"I wouldn't miss your 20th anniversary," Sophie said. "Although I'll be at the hospital making up hours for the next six months. I'm just lucky Dr. Robbins is so family oriented and understood how much I wanted to be here."

Sophie had indeed followed in Chloe's footsteps to become a pediatrician and was in her 3rd year of Residency at Grey Sloane Memorial in Seattle, Washington.

"Where's Lucy?," Chloe asked.

"I dropped her off at her moms so she could visit for a bit," Sophie said. "She'll be here for dinner with her moms."

"I still can't believe that you and Emily got together with Brey and Stacie's kids," Chloe said with a smile.

Sophie had come out to her mothers when she was sixteen. She and Lucy started dating a few months after. They had been together for almost 8 years now.

"I still think Lucas is too old for Emily," Beca said with a scowl. "He's 28 and she's only 19."

"Oh, hush you," Chloe said. "Emily is 19 going on 35. She's always been more mature for her age. Besides, he treats her great and she's happy."

"I guess," Beca concedes.

The door opens and two-thirds of the 19-year-old triplets walk in.

"Oh, my gosh," Chloe squeals. "TJ! Connie! More of my babies are home!"

"Mom," TJ says. "We're not babies anymore."

"You'll always be my babies," Chloe said. "All six of you, no matter how old you are."

"Hey, mom," Connie said giving her mother a hug when TJ went to say hi to Sophie.

"What about me?," Beca said smiling.

"Hey, mama," Connie said. "I've missed you guys."

"We've missed you, too," Beca said hugging her. "We're glad you're all going to be here for Christmas and our anniversary. It wouldn't be the same without all you here."

"Move over sis," TJ said giving Connie a light shove. "I need a mama hug, too."

Beca laughed and pulled TJ into a hug. She kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey, Soph," Chloe said. "Are you and Lucy staying here?"

"We were thinking we'd just stay at Aunt Brey's since everyone else is staying here," Sophie said. "I hope that's okay."

"That's fine," Chloe said. "As long as we get to see you every day, I don't care where you sleep. Wait. That didn't come out right."

Everyone laughed and Beca pulled her into a hug.

"It's a good thing you're that pretty," Beca said giving her a kiss.

"Where's Dylan and Sarah?," TJ asked. "More importantly, where are my niece and nephew? And when do Billy and Emily get here?"

"Dylan, Sarah, and the kids, will be here for dinner," Beca said. "Billy and Emily should be here soon. They were going to leave San Diego after rush hour hoping to avoid most of the traffic."

Dylan, now 29, married his college sweetheart, Sarah, and they have two children, Madison, who just turned four, and Dylan, Jr., or DJ, who is two. Dylan, much to his mama's surprise, took an interest in producing music and now runs his mother's studio. Beca and Chloe had both retired when the triplets left for college a year ago. Beca turned all operations over to Dylan and helped out when he needed an extra hand now and then.

Connie was taking pre-med courses at UC-Berkeley. She was also looking at becoming a pediatrician or even an ob/gyn. Emily was studying Mechanical Engineering at San Diego State University. She read that Mechanical Engineering was one of the fastest growing and hard to fill fields. Billy, now 26, was a vet at the San Diego Zoo. He and Emily spent a lot of time together since they were both in San Diego.

TJ is the only one who hasn't decided what he wants to be. He was taking general courses at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. He has some interest in becoming an EMT, but hasn't committed to anything yet.

It was close to 6:00 and dinner was being set up. Beca had the meal catered since there were going to be so many of their family and friends attending dinner. The doorbell ran and Beca went to the door to open it and find her mother, Sally, and stepfather, Paul, standing there.

"Mom!," Beca yells and grabs the woman in a hug.

"Hey, guys," TJ says. "It's grandma and grand-Paul."

All the kids come running to greet their grandma and grand-Paul. Beca's mom married Paul Davis about 6 years ago. The kids already called Chloe's dad grandpa so Billy came up with calling Paul, grand-Paul and it stuck. They now lived in a nice house just on the other side of L.A. Chloe's mom was pulling up just as Beca was about to close the door. She went out to greet Charlotte, wrapping her up in a hug. Sadly, James Beale passed away a little over 2 years ago. Charlotte still lived in the apartment that Chloe had when she was single. Beca and Chloe were both glad she was close by and they made sure she made it to every family function they had so she wouldn't feel so lonely.

"How are you, Charlotte?," Beca asked as they walked into the house.

"I'm good," Charlotte said. "I can't wait to see all my grandbabies."

"Well, they're all here so get ready," Beca said with a laugh. "Hey, guys, look who I found outside."

"Granny!," all the kids yelled and ran over to hug her.

All the kids got their hugs in and then everyone was working their way through the food line. Stacie was behind Beca in line.

"I think we may be having a joining of our clans in the not too distant future," Stacie said with a laugh.

"It's better be Sophie and Lucy," Beca said. "Emily's too young to get married."

"You got married at nineteen," Stacie said.

"Yeah," Beca said. "And look at how that turned out."

"I'd say it turned out pretty good," Chloe chimed in. "We have three beautiful children and two wonderful grandchildren from it."

"Fine," Beca said. "It wouldn't be so bad if Emily and Lucas got married. In about 4 years."

Chloe and Stacie just laughed at Beca. The rest of the night went well and everyone who wasn't staying with the Mitchells left. Before anyone knew it, Christmas morning was here. Beca and Chloe were laying in bed talking about how great it was having the kids all together. They suddenly hear several pairs of running feet coming towards their bedroom and all six kids came barreling through the door. They all jumped on the bed and smothered Beca and Chloe, laughing and carrying on like they did when they were kids. They all finally settled down and were laying and sitting on the bed.

"This so reminds me of when you guys were kids," Chloe said with a tear in her eye. "You'd all get up and come running in here together yelling about Santa Claus."

"Remember that year," Sophie said with a laugh. "That TJ came running in and fell over the rug. He hit his chin and wouldn't let you take him to the hospital until he got to open at least one gift first."

"I was six," TJ said with a pout.

Beca grabbed Chloe's hand and gave it a squeeze as they watched their kids reminiscing.

"I never did thank you guys for waiting to open your presents until I got back home," TJ said.

"It wasn't our idea," Dylan said with a laugh. "Sophie strong-armed all of us and made us wait. She said it was only right because we are a family and we stick together."

"Good for you, Soph," Chloe said.

"You really did that, Soph?," TJ asked.

"You're my baby brother," Sophie said. "I was just looking out for you."

TJ reached over and pulled Sophie into a hug.

"You always were my favorite sister," TJ said.

"Let me up," Chloe said. "I need to use the bathroom and then we need to have breakfast and open gifts."

The kids all got up from the bed and Chloe hurried into the bathroom. Beca waited until the bathroom door was closed and turned to her six kids.

"Are you guys ready?," Beca asked. "You all know your parts?"

"We got it mama," Dylan spoke for the group.

Beca hurried out of the room and went downstairs. The kids all set themselves up, starting with Dylan at the top of the stairs, then Billy, Sophie, Emily, Connie, and TJ. Beca stood about 3 feet from TJ, with her hands behind her back.

Chloe came out of the bathroom and grabbed her robe. She was putting it on as she walked out the door. She hesitated for a second when she saw Dylan standing at the top of the stairs, facing her with his hand behind his back.

"Dyl?," Chloe asked stopping in front of him. "Is everything okay?"

Dylan smiles and brings his arms from behind his back to show he's holding three red roses. He kisses Chloe on the cheek, hands her the roses and steps aside to let her pass. Chloe thanks him and starts down the steps noticing that all of the kids are standing on the steps. She reaches Billy and he hands her three red roses, kisses her on the cheek and moves aside to let her continue. The same occurred with Sophie, Emily, Connie, and TJ, who was on the very last step. She takes the last three roses, and gets a kiss on the cheek. When TJ moves aside she sees Beca standing just a few feet away with her hands behind her back.

"Beca?," Chloe says walking over to her. "What's going on?"

Beca brings her arms from behind her back and hands Chloe two more roses. She then takes Chloe's free hand in hers.

"Babe," Beca said. "A red rose means "I love you." You now have 20 red roses, one for every year we've been married. You are my everything. I would like to know, if you, Chloe Beale Mitchell, will join me in renewing our vows on our 20th anniversary?"

Chloe looks at Beca and smiles. She pulls Beca into a kiss.

"I would love to renew our vows," Chloe said softly. "Is this the reason all the kids are home?"

"Yeah," Beca said with a smile. "I told them all that I wanted us to renew our vows and they said I had to properly ask you first and they wanted to be a part of it."

"So," Billy calls out. "Are our moms getting married again or what?"

"She said yes," Beca tells them.

The kids all start laughing and hugging their moms. Chloe suddenly got a nervous look on her face.

"What's wrong, mom," Connie asked.

"I only have 6 days to prepare a wedding vow renewal," Chloe said.

"We've already planned everything," Beca said.

"Yeah," Sophie said. "Lucy, Maddie, and I are going to be the flower girls"

"DJ and I are going to be the ring bearers," Billy said."

"I'm walking mama down the aisle," Dylan said.

"And, I get to walk you down the aisle, mom," TJ said.

"And, Connie and I get to be your maids of honor," Emily said.

"Yeah," Connie said with a laugh. "Since we were all in your first wedding, we decided we should all be in your second."

"Funny," Chloe said as everyone laughed.

Chloe woke up on the morning of her anniversary and looked over at her wife. She didn't think it was possible, but she was more in love with Beca now than she was twenty years ago. Chloe sat with her back against the headboard and thought back over the past 22 years they've been together. The first two years, before they were even married, were the most eventful years they shared. From their fast moving relationship, to Jeanine kidnapping Dylan and Billy, to finding out she was having triplets.

Beca was laying on her back, and Chloe started playing with her hair. She thought back over their married life and couldn't help but smile. They had their ups and downs for sure, but at the end of the day, they were together. She sighed and decided to jump in the shower. As she was walking to the bathroom, she stopped and went back over to the bed. She removed her pajamas and leaned down so she could whisper in Beca's ear.

"I just took off all my clothes and I'm standing her naked," Chloe said.

'I'm up," Beca said as she shot up to a sitting position.

"I thought I'd let you know I'm gonna go take a shower," Chloe said. "In case you wanted to join me."

Chloe winked at Beca and turned and walked toward the bathroom with an extra wiggle to her hips. Beca smiled and jumped out of bed to follow her wife. After their joint shower, Beca and Chloe were dressed and heading downstairs to start breakfast.

The chaos that reigns trying to feed eight adults and two small children is one that Chloe really missed. She finds herself reminiscing about the many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners she's helped prepare and serve over the past twenty years. She looks over at her wife and sends another prayer of thanks for having brought her and their kids into Chloe's life.

"Mom?," Sophie asks. "Mom? You still with us?"

"I'm sorry," Chloe says shaking her head. "I just got lost in my thoughts. When did you get here?"

"I just got here," Sophie said. "I'm driving you and the girls for our spa day and then I'll take you over to Aunt Brey's to get ready for tonight," Sophie said.

"Oh, okay," Chloe said giving her a hug. "Are you hungry? There's more than enough."

"Mom, can I talk to you for a minute?," Sophie asked Chloe.

"Sure," Chloe said. "Let me tell your mama and we'll go up to my room."

Chloe went over and kissed Beca, telling her she was going to go talk to Sophie.

"Everything okay?," Beca asked.

"Yeah," Chloe said. "I have a feeling I know what it's about and I'll tell you later."

Sophie and Chloe go up to Chloe and Beca's bedroom. They come back down about half an hour later.

"Hey, Em, Connie, and Sarah," Sophie says. "You gals ready to get your spa on?"

"Hey, what about me?," Beca asks walking over to Chloe.

"We knew you wouldn't want to go to the spa, so the boys have plans for you," Sophie says. "Lucy has offered to watch DJ and Maddie so just drop them off at Aunt Brey's on your way."

"Why am I suddenly scared for my life?," Beca asks Chloe.

"You'll like it," Chloe said. "I promise."

"Okay," Beca says giving Chloe a kiss. "I love you."

"I need a better kiss than that," Chloe said. "I won't see you again until it's time for us say our vows."

"In that case," Beca said and kisses Chloe with all the passion she can muster.

"That's enough you two," Emily says after a minute or two.

"I can't help it if your mom's so hot," Beca says with a laugh.

"No, just no," Emily says and walks away shaking her head.

The others just laugh and say goodbye as the girls all leave with Chloe. Once the girls were all in Sophie's car, she tells them she has to make one stop before they go to the spa.

The boys and Beca get ready and get in Beca's car, with Dylan driving. They drop Maddie and DJ at Aubrey and Stacie's and head out again. Beca is surprised and excited when she sees the sign for laser tag.

"This is what you boys planned for me?," Beca asked.

"Yep," TJ says. "Team Mitchell is going to dominate the fuck out of this place."

"Language," Dylan said.

"Leave him alone," Beca says with a laugh. "I couldn't have said it better myself."

Several hours later, both groups of Mitchells are on their way home.

"I'll drop you girls off at Mom's," Sophie said. "And, then Mom and I are going to Aunt Brey and Aunt Stacie's to get ready."

The Mitchell house was relatively calm considering there were so many people needing to shower and get ready by 7:00 pm when the limo was due to arrive. Everyone was ready except for Beca. Connie was helping her finish her makeup.

"You look beautiful, mama," Connie said when she was done. "Is that the same dress you wore for your wedding?"

"Yeah," Beca said. "Your mom and I both chose to wear them again. I offered to buy mom a new one but she insisted when I told her I was wearing my original dress. She of course rubbed it in that she had to have hers taken in. I was smart enough not to comment on the fact that she was pregnant the first time around."

"I think it's romantic," Connie said. "Also, pretty cool that you can fit into your dress after twenty years."

"That comes from chasing six kids around for years," Beca said with a laugh.

"We should get going," Connie said. "Everyone else is ready and waiting for us. The limo should be here any minute."

"Let's do this," Beca said and led Connie downstairs.

"Wow," Billy said when he saw Beca. "Talk about deja vu. It's like I'm six years old again. You look exactly as you did twenty years ago."

"Why thank you," Beca said and walked over and hugged Billy. "You boys clean up pretty good. I'm glad you boys opted to wear tuxes."

"The limo's here," TJ says from the front door.

Everyone leaves and after some maneuvering they are all in the limo and on their way to the Four Seasons.

Chloe is nervous. More nervous than she was at her first wedding. Although, she was pregnant and suffering from morning sickness back then. She stands and smooths down her dress and smiles at the fact that it looks so good.

"You still got it, Chlo," she hears Aubrey say from the doorway.

"I can't believe Beca and I are wearing our actual wedding dresses," Chloe said. "Well, mine had to be taken in some since the last time I wore it. But still looks the same."

"Are your ready?," Aubrey asked. "The limo's here."

"Let's do this," Chloe said.

Chloe and her entourage arrived at the Four Seasons and entered the hotel. They were shown to the same room where their first wedding was held. Chloe stopped inside the door and smiled as she looked around. A tear came to her eye as she remembered the events of twenty years ago.

"You okay, mom?," Sophie asked.

"Yeah," Chloe said wiping the tear away. "Just remembering."

"Come on," Sophie said. "We have to get to your bride's room to wait for the ceremony."

People had already started filling the room and finding their seats. Many were remembering being there twenty years earlier. Jesse and Jessica Swanson were seated at the table with Aubrey and Stacie, Lucy, Lucas, Amy and Bumper, and CR and Denise. Jesse's son, JJ, couldn't make it. He was living in New York with his wife Daphne, who was 8 months pregnant and couldn't fly. CR and Denise's son, Charlie, was in the Army and stationed somewhere in the Middle East, so he wasn't able to attend either.

Charlotte, Sally, and Paul were sharing a table with Sarah, DJ, and Maddie. While Dylan, Billy, Sophie, Emily, Connie, TJ, Beca, and Chloe would be sitting at the head table.

It was time for the ceremony to begin and Sally, as she did twenty years ago, asked the guests to take their seats. Sophie and Lucy, with Maddie between them, threw out rose petals as they walked down the aisle. When they reached the end, Billy carried DJ down the aisle, each holding a pillow with the new wedding rings that Beca had brought for her and Chloe. Billy and DJ got to the end of the aisle and took their places. Lucas escorted Emily and Connie down the aisle and once they were in position, went to his seat.

Beca appeared on the arm of Dylan and everyone stood as they walked down the aisle together. Dylan gave his mother a kiss on the cheek and she took her place next to Emily at the altar. Dylan took his seat. Beca looked to the back and her breath hitched when she saw Chloe standing next to TJ. It still caught her by surprise at how she reacted to seeing Chloe even after all this time. She knew that this woman was her soul mate.

Chloe took a deep breath and smiled when she saw the way Beca looked at her. She still got butterflies in her stomach whenever she would catch Beca looking at her like she was now. Like she was the only person in the room. TJ put his arm out for his mother to take and they walked down the aisle. Tears were glistening in Chloe's eyes.

When they reached the end of the aisle, TJ gave Chloe a kiss on the cheek. He then hugged her.

"I love you, mom," TJ whispered in her ear.

"I love you, too, baby boy" Chloe whispered back as a tear fell from her eye.

TJ pulled out of the hug and used his thumb to wipe the tear from Chloe's face. He gave Chloe a wink and handed her off to Beca and went to his seat.

The officiant began and Beca and Chloe hadn't taken their eyes off each other. The vows were spoken and the rings were exchanged.

"By the power vested in me," the officiant said. "I now pronounce you are married, again."

Everyone cheered, whistled, and clapped.

"You make kiss your bride," the officiant said.

Beca pulled Chloe to her, but stopped before their lips met.

"You did brush your teeth, right?," Beca asked with a grin.

"I hate you," Chloe said with a laugh.

Beca kissed Chloe and they pulled back and leaned their foreheads together. Everyone in the room was smiling and taking pictures.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the officiant said getting everyone's attention. "I would like to introduce to you, again, Mrs. Beca and Chloe Mitchell."

Beca took Chloe's hand and led her back down the aisle. Emily and Connie followed, with Sophie, Lucy, Maddie, Billy and DJ behind them. The family and wedding party spent time getting pictures done. Beca took every chance she could to kiss Chloe, even if it was just on the cheek. Chloe's smile never left her face.

Everyone was finally able to sit down and their dinners were served. Beca looked around at how their group, that once consisted of a few good friends and three kids, had grown to the size of a small city. After dinner, Sophie came and whispered something to Chloe. Chloe smiled and nodded her head. Sophie walked over to the DJ and asked for the microphone.

"Excuse me, everybody," Sophie said to get everyone's attention. "My family and I want to thank all of you for being here tonight. Twenty years ago today, two extraordinary women vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. Witnessing the love they had for each other every day for the past twenty years, was truly something that I cherish more than anything in this world. So, please, raise your glass with me. To Beca and Chloe Mitchell. I love you, mom and mama."

"To Beca and Chloe," was heard around the room as the toast was completed.

"I'd now like to ask my fellow flower girl, Lucy, to come join me," Sophie said and looked at Lucy.

Lucy looked back at her somewhat confused. Lucy beckoned her to come to come stand with her. Lucy joins her and takes Sophie's hand.

"What's going on?," Lucy asked quietly.

"I was sixteen when I came out to my moms," Sophie said into the microphone. "They were so supportive and loving. Lucy and I started dating shortly after and we've been together for almost eight years now."

Sophie turned to Lucy who had tears in her eyes. Chloe, standing nearby, handed her a small box. Sophie took it and got down on one knee in front of Lucy. Several surprised gasps could be heard.

"Lucy Marie Conrad-Posen," Sophie said. "You are my soul mate, the love of my life. Would you do me the honor of sharing the rest of my life with me as my wife?"

There wasn't a sound to be heard in the room as everyone waited for Lucy's answer.

"Yes, of course, I'll marry you," Lucy said with a huge smile and tears falling down her face.

Sophie jumped up and grabbed Lucy in a kiss. She put the ring on Lucy's finger and kissed her again. The entire Mitchell and Conrad-Posen families came up to congratulate them.

After the excitement of the engagement died down, Aubrey took over the microphone. Beca and Chloe smiled when they saw Stacie, Amy, CR, Denise, and all six of their children, on the stage with Aubrey.

"Beca and Chloe," Aubrey said. "Please come to the dance floor for your first dance as a re-newly wed couple."

Chloe laughed and stood up. She put her hand out toward Beca and Beca gladly took it and let Chloe lead her to the dance floor. The music started and their best friends and their children sang Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance" just like their friends did twenty years ago. Beca and Chloe both had tears in their eyes as they danced. Beca kissed Chloe and tightened her hold around her waist. Chloe's arms were around Beca's neck. Beca kissed Chloe again and pulled back slightly to look her in the eyes.

"Care to meet me here in twenty years and do this all again?," Beca asked.

"It's a date," Chloe said.


There you have it. Thank you all for staying with me to the end. I loved writing this story. Til next time!
