Jesse and Beca spoke on the phone that night. Beca had wanted to confirm the weekend's plans before telling her son anything, and she wanted to discuss the idea of revealing her identity because it might affect their son.

"Hey, Bec. What did you want to talk about?"

"Hey, Jesse. Are you still willing to take our son on Thursday night?"

"Yes."

"Awes. He'll be so excited!" Beca exclaimed.

"Awes?"

"I guess I picked up the word from Chloe," Beca said. "Also, I wanted to let you know that I talked to some PI's today. I don't think you're going to be hearing from them right now, but, if you get a call from the Posen-Conrad Investigation Team, those are the ones hired by the law firm."

"Thanks. I'll keep the name in mind," said Jesse.

"Right," said Beca, clearing her throat. "I haven't totally decided on this, but I'm considering formally revealing my identity. I intend to keep Johnny out of it, though. I'm going to find a publicist who can help me with this. What are your feelings on this?"

"I don't love the idea, honestly, but I guess it's okay as long as our son's face and name aren't out there."

"They won't be."

"Okay," he said. "So, 6:00 on Thursday?"

"Yes. Will you be taking him to daycare on Friday? I just want the staff to be aware either way."

"I will."

"Okay, thanks, Jesse. Bye!"

"Bye."

Beca then called Chloe.

"Jesse says he'll take Johnny on Thursday night."

"You don't think he'll cancel again, do you?"

"I really doubt it," she said. "So, I'm thinking about formally revealing my identity as DJ Reggie. I'd like to get in front of the story before it gets too crazy. What do you think?"

"Beca, it's your decision. You know I'll back you one hundred percent, no matter what you decide. I think it's a pretty great idea, though. The press will eat up your story."

"I can see it now," said Beca. "Everyone will fall in love with the girl who got knocked up on the 'no-sex desk' at her college radio station and ended up becoming a music producer."

Chloe laughed. "I'm no publicist, but I don't think I'd volunteer that first part."

"That's probably a good idea. I'm not sure how many people know about that."

"Right. You know I meant the part about you being a single parent and working your way up."

"Yes."

They talked a little more about their upcoming weekend away before hanging up.

The next morning, Beca told Fat Amy and Theo that she wanted to begin interviewing publicists as soon as possible.

That afternoon, they'd already set her up with three different candidates.

Beca immediately disliked the first person she saw. He was more interested in her personal life than she liked, and he didn't appear to understand why Beca didn't want to plaster her son's face all over the internet.

The second candidate was okay. The girl seemed interested enough in respecting Beca's privacy, but Beca didn't feel completely at ease with her. She was a "maybe" at best.

The third candidate was the most surprising. She was a tall Asian woman named Lilly. Beca could hardly hear a word she spoke. However, she had an impressive list of clients, and most of the celebrities on her list were extremely private people.

"Congratulations, Lilly," Beca said. "You're hired."

Beca walked Lilly out of the conference room. "Fat Amy, please schedule a meeting with Lilly and whoever else about our next steps as soon as possible," said Beca. "And cancel any further interviews. I have found my publicist."

Thursday morning, Beca met with Lilly, Theo, John, and Gail regarding her next steps.

"I've decided to come clean about my identity," said Beca. "I absolutely do not want my son's name or face on any press. You're free to state that I'm a single parent, but leave him out of it."

Lilly continued to speak quietly throughout the meeting, and Beca was certain she'd heard a comment about hiding a body. However, she had several examples of clients of hers and how they protected their children from the media.

The group set up a public statement regarding Beca's identity, and they scheduled a photoshoot for that Monday.

"Grammy nominations come out next month," said Gail. "We're certain that DJ Reggie will have several. How would you like to actually go to the awards this time?"

Beca's heart began to race. She'd always just watched the awards, snickering each time someone said DJ Reggie and commented that "he" wasn't there.

"I've never even thought to go," said Beca.

"You could bring your girlfriend," said Theo.

Beca thought about how completely thrilled Chloe would be to attend the awards with her. "Chloe would love that," she said. "Fine. But I'm wearing pants!"

"I like to hide knives in my pants," Lilly whispered.

The rest of the people in the room all looked in her direction. "What?" they all asked in unison.

Lilly shrugged.

The group exchanged some glances before seemingly all deciding not to ask.

As expected, Chloe squealed with excitement when Beca invited her to go to the Grammy awards with her. She'd been so loud that Beca had to hold the phone away from her ear.

"We're going to walk the red carpet?" Chloe asked.

"That's the plan," said Beca.

"That's so amazing."

"Yeah. Just wait until the world sees my arm candy."

"That's all I am?" asked Chloe in mock offense.

"You're a good lay, too," said Beca, making both women laugh.

"I aim to please."

"And you do. I can't wait until our weekend away."

"How was the drop-off?"

"Johnny was going nuts. Jesse is in for it tonight."

"Sounds fair enough, from the number of times you had to deal with him after his 'no-rules' time with his dad."

"I didn't say I felt sorry for him," said Beca. "Oh, and I spoke to Beth about the custody situation. She said what I'd predicted. There isn't much I can do right now except document since he pays his child support and generally takes his visitation. I am going to keep track, but I don't think anything is going to change. And I don't want to put Johnny through a custody battle unless I have to."

"I hadn't thought about that. I guess the whole thing just made me feel defensive for you. I'll try to take a step back and let you handle things."

"Thanks. I love you."

"Not as much as I love you."

"Don't you start that," Beca said, laughing.

They spoke a bit more about the plans for the next day. Chloe was going to pick Beca up after lunch. There were some fun activities around the bed and breakfast that they agreed to do, but the rest of the weekend was going to be spent just being together.

Beca took advantage of her kid-free morning, having a leisurely breakfast. She chuckled to herself when she saw that morning's celebrity gossip. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were heading toward divorce. Well, that should keep my face off of the gossip sites, Beca thought.

She decided to take a little trip to the lingerie store to get something special to wear while they were away. She couldn't remember the last time she'd bought something sexy. She was relieved that the staff at the store who helped her didn't seem to know who she was.

She headed home, finished packing, and ate some lunch before Chloe arrived to pick her up.

Her girlfriend greeted her with a sensual kiss.

"Is that a preview of the weekend?" Beca asked, smiling as she pulled away.

"Maybe," said Chloe.

She grinned as she grabbed her suitcase. She checked one more time to make sure her light timers were set and her doors were locked and deadbolted before heading out.

Chloe insisted on listening to Beca's music on the way there. They chatted lightly about what they'd be doing that weekend. Chloe had tried to talk Beca into horseback riding, but Beca insisted she'd fall off of the horse and die. They'd agreed to a wine tasting, a cake decorating class, and a couple's massage.

They arrived at the bed and breakfast, checked in, and headed to their room.

"This is gorgeous!" Beca exclaimed.

"You're gorgeous," said Chloe.

"Cheeseball."

The room really was nice. It had a king-sized bed, a whirlpool tub for two, a fireplace, a sitting area, and a large dual-head shower. There was a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and a little table for two. They'd agreed to breakfast in the main house once they'd been assured that each couple had their own table. The weekend was about the two of them, and Beca wasn't ready to deal with questions from people who might be DJ Reggie fans.

"So, what time is the wine tasting, or whatever we're doing first?" asked Beca.

"That's after dinner. Our reservations are at 6."

"So, that's four hours from now. What do you want to do first?"

"Would I still be a cheeseball if I said 'you'?"

"Definitely," said Beca.

"I guess I'm a cheeseball," said Chloe, pulling her close.

"Wait! I went shopping this morning."

"So did I!"

Beca opened up her suitcase and pointed to the lingerie sets she'd purchased. "You choose."

Chloe pointed to a black and purple set. "I went to a different kind of store," she said. She opened her suitcase.

"Oh my god!" Beca exclaimed.

"We don't have to use anything you don't want to," said Chloe.

"That's not what I said. I was just a little surprised. Which one is your favorite?"

"Well, I like these two solo, although we can certainly use them together. I'd really like to use the strap with you. I don't care which one of us wears it."

"I can't believe you brought sex toys on our trip."

"I can't believe that surprised you," said Chloe.

"Good point. I'll go ahead and change in the bathroom. I'd like to give you the full effect."

"Awes," said Chloe.

Beca quickly put on the lingerie set. She'd never really worn anything like this for anyone. She'd thought about it during her last serious relationship, but that guy had ghosted her as soon as he'd found out she had a son.

"Are you ready for me?" she asked from behind the closed door.

"Always," said Chloe.

Beca did her best to look sexy as she walked out of the bathroom. Chloe had on a beautiful blue slip that matched her eyes.

"Come here, you sexy thing," said Chloe, pulling back the covers of the bed.

Beca sat next to Chloe and was immediately pulled close. Chloe kissed her deeply before moving down her jaw and kissing her neck. "Hey, no marks," Beca said. "The label is taking photos on Monday."

"Okay," said Chloe, leaving wet kisses on her neck. She kissed her way down Beca's body, pulling the strap of the slip to the side and pressing kisses to the swell of her left breast. She reached under the slip to massage the right one while taking the left in her mouth.

"Oh, fuck...Chloe...that's so good," Beca moaned. She felt Chloe pull away just long enough to pull the slip over Beca's head and throw it on the floor.

Chloe moved her hands down, palming Beca's ass for a bit before reaching a bit lower.

"Crotchless panties, Beca? Now, who's the dirty bird?"

Chloe crashed her lips back into Beca as she played with Beca's very swollen clit. "Fuuuuck!" Beca drew out as Chloe put two fingers in her, rubbing her clit with her thumb.

Beca pulled her mouth away from Chloe's as her girlfriend moved her fingers faster and faster, needing to take in big gulps of air. Chloe moved her lips closer to Beca's ear, whispering one filthy thing after another as Beca clenched around her fingers, screaming Chloe's name over and over.

Beca shimmied out of her panties and climbed into Chloe's lap. She explored under Chloe's slip to discover a matching lace thong underneath that was already soaked. She moved it to the side as she toyed with Chloe's clit.

"I love you so much," said Beca. "You feel so good. I love touching you."

Chloe could only whimper in response.

Beca laid Chloe down and ripped the thong down her legs, leaving the slip on. There was something sexy about reaching her head under it. She licked and sucked until she had Chloe coming hard.

Chloe sat up, tossed the slip over her head, and motioned for Beca to come up and lay with her. She wrapped her arms around her, pulling her close.

"I think I could hold you forever," Chloe said.

"If only that were possible."

"I don't know about you, but I needed this."

"Me too," said Beca. "Did I ever tell you that I wasn't the type to snuggle up like this after sex before I got together with you?"

"Snuggling with you is the best."

"Yeah. I love you." Beca yawned.

"I love you, too, and I think a nap right now is a great idea," Chloe said. She set an alarm on her phone and the two spent the afternoon snoozing in each other's arms.

They woke up, got ready, and enjoyed a nice steak dinner. They headed to the wine tasting afterward, and Chloe insisted on buying a bottle of their favorite.

They headed back to the room, and Chloe ran a bubble bath in the two-person whirlpool. She poured each of them a glass of wine. Chloe got in first and had Beca sit in front of her. Beca said it was the most relaxed she'd ever felt in her life.

Just as Beca was really relaxing against her girlfriend, Chloe's hands began to wander.

"Hey, Beca?"

"Hmmm?"

"Do you want to know what this reminds me of?" Chloe asked.

"What's that?"

"After our first date, I went home and took a bubble bath. I wanted you so badly that I did this." With those words, Chloe began to rub circles into Beca's clit with one hand while squeezing at her breast with the other.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I didn't know how long you'd want to wait, so I settled for touching myself and imagining that I was touching you."

"Well, I have a little secret to tell you," said Beca. "I had some fun with my vibrator that night."

"That's so hot. No wonder you changed your mind."

"It might have been a factor."

Chloe quickly brought Beca to orgasm, this time whispering in Beca's ear about how much she loved her and how good she felt. "Fuck, Beca. So much hotter than I imagined."

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint," she said.

They relaxed for a while in the hot tub, sipping wine, and lightly touching each other. They finally got out when the water began to run cold.

They made love several more times that evening before finally succumbing to sleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, they awoke to a light knock on their door. "Coffee," a voice called softly before they heard footsteps walking away.

They put on the robes that had been provided for them and sat at their little table enjoying coffee.

They dressed and headed to breakfast. They ate so much that they agreed to skip lunch.

They walked around the property for a while, taking selfies together in front of the beautiful scenery.

They headed to their cake decorating class, and it surprised both of them that Beca picked up on the skills much more quickly than Chloe.

"I might have to try more of these when we get back to town," said Beca. "I always just buy Johnny a cake. Imagine if I could bake and decorate one for him."

"He'd love it," said Chloe.

They enjoyed a couple's massage before dinner, and they agreed afterward that it hadn't been quite what they'd expected.

"I don't know what we were supposed to do," said Beca. "Hold hands? I guess I don't get it."

"It was nice, but it wasn't as couple-y as I'd expected."

They went to dinner - sushi this time - and went back to the room and made love again. Beca learned that Chloe made full use of having both hands available when she wore the strap-on, and she also discovered a bunch of incredibly sexy sounds she could get out of Chloe when Beca wore it and fucked her from behind.

"We are making a lot more use of that when we get back," said Beca.

"Oh, totes," said Chloe.

The next morning was much like the previous one, except for the time that Beca and Chloe spent packing their things after breakfast.

"I'm sad to leave our little bubble," said Beca.

"Me too. It kind of felt like we were the only people in the world," she said, sighing.

"Yeah, it did. I think this may be the most romantic thing I've ever had anyone do for me."

"Same."

"Do you want to spend the afternoon at my place?" asked Beca. "I just don't want to be away from you yet."

"Sure," said Chloe.

"Maybe you can even go with me to get Johnny. I'm sure he'd be excited to see you."

"What about Jesse?"

"What about him? He brought his girlfriend at one of the last drop-offs, and he's moving in with her. He already knows about us, anyway."

"Okay, I'll go. But I'll tell you right now if Johnny wants McDonald's, I'm buying it for him."

Beca just smiled and shook her head.

They checked out and headed back to Beca's. They made love a few more times before Chloe convinced Beca to play some more of her music for her.

"Your music is so amazing, Becs. I'm really glad the world gets to know who you really are."

"It's probably about time I stop being such a recluse."

"Have you told Johnny?"

"I'm going to do that this week. I was thinking I'd start by telling him the next time we hear something of mine on the radio."

"He's going to be so excited," said Chloe.

"I hope so."

They headed over to the McDonald's in Beca's car.

"Miss Chloe!" Johnny exclaimed, running full speed into Chloe to give her a hug.

"What about me?" asked Beca.

"Hi, Mommy. I was just surprised to see Miss Chloe." He gave Beca a hug too.

"How were things?" she asked Jesse.

"Fine. Oh, and we are totally moved into Amanda's now."

"Did you sell your house already?" asked Beca.

"No, but the real estate agent convinced me I'd have an easier time selling the house if it's vacant. That way I don't have to clean up and leave the house every time she wants to show it."

"Got it."

"Anyway, I'll text you the new address."

"Thanks," said Beca. "How do you like the new house, Johnny?"

"Daddy helped me put Paw Patrol stickers on the wall, but Claire said that was a baby show."

"It's not a baby show," said Beca.

"That's what I told her," said Johnny. Beca gave him a gentle pat on the back.

"I'm sure they'll get along soon," said Jesse.

"Sounds like pretty normal kid bickering," said Chloe.

"Hey, Jesse, I know Halloween falls on your weekend. Would it be okay if I came out to see Johnny? I'd really like to see him trick-or-treat in his costume," said Beca.

"I'm sure he'd enjoy that," said Jesse. "I'll figure out the time and text you this week."

"Great," said Beca. "Okay, Johnny, say goodbye to your dad."

"Bye, Daddy!" Johnny exclaimed, giving Jesse a hug.

Chloe insisted on treating the three of them to McDonald's for dinner.

The whole way home, Johnny talked about all of the arguments he'd had with Claire. Beca was a little alarmed, but Chloe insisted it was normal sibling banter. Johnny and Claire were living as siblings for the first time, and she said she was sure the two of them would straighten things out.
