Beca came home from work to an eerily quiet house. It was to quiet. She should know, cause living with three teenage girls meant there was always noise.
She walked upstairs to find her girls piled up on Aubrey's bed. Their eyes were glued to the screen of Chloe's laptop. They didn't even heard her entering the room.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Three pair of eyes looked at her in surprise.
"We were looking at clips from your Bellas performance" Stacie said.
"You girls were hot" Stacie smirked.
"Were?"
"You still are."
"Well hot or not. You better get your ass downstairs Stacie Ann. It's your turn to cook" Beca said playfully to her daughter.
"I'll be there in ten" Stacie said.
Beca walked downstairs and poured herself a glass of wine. As she sat comfortably on her couch she heard her phone. She fished it out of her purse but didn't recognize the incoming number.
"Hello this is Beca Mitchell speaking."
"Hello Beca" she heard.
It was a voice she would never forget. Her heart stopped and she started to freak out.
"Chloe" she whispered.
"Well it's been a while since I spoke to you" the woman on the other side of the line said.
"Well, umm, yeah. I'm sorry" Beca said.
"How in the world did you get my number?"
"Lilly" the other woman said.
Of course, she didn't even questioned it.
"So how have you been?" Chloe asked.
"I've been good".
"And your daughters? The ones who you named after us I might add?"
Damn, Lilly was good Beca thought.
"Yes, they are alright. A bit shocked after meeting you."
"So when are we going to meet? I have a lot to say to you after 16 years."
"Please Chloe, I can't."
"Okay" the redhead sighed.
"I could give Fat Amy your number" Chloe threatened.
"God no! Okay, Beale we meet up. Name your time and place" Beca said quickly.
"Tomorrow at one o'clock at the Lighthouse Café" the redhead suggested.
"I'll be there" Beca said unsure.
"See you tomorrow Beca."
"See you tomorrow Chlo, and I'm glad you called me."
Stacie came down to fix dinner, but stopped dead in her tracks when she heard her mom talking. It was the tone of voice her mother used that made her stop.
She heard her mom finish her conversation and she coughed to make her presence known.
"Are you okay mom?"
"Yes, sweetie everything is okay."
"You sure? Cause I heard you talk."
"I got an call from Chloe Beale, the woman you saw the other day. I haven´t spoken to her in 16 years."
"Oh" Stacie said.
"I have an appointment with her tomorrow."
"And your nervous about it" her daughter said with a smirk.
"No, I am not."
"You sounded nervous talking to her."
"How much did you hear?" Beca wanted to know.
"Pretty much everything."
Her sisters came in so she filled them in. Stacie then walked to the kitchen to start cooking.
"Mom tell us about that Chloe lady" Aubrey said when they were having dinner.
"Chloe Eve Beale. The most beautiful girl I ever seen. She has the bluest eyes in the world. Her red hair falls perfectly. She has an amazing body. She is perfect in every way. A voice of an angel. And the sweetest girl I ever met. When she looks at you with those puppy eyes you can´t deny her anything" Beca said with closed eyes.
"Wow, somebody sound like she is in love" Aubrey teased.
Beca felt her cheeks redden at her daughters comments.
"Don't you have any homework to do?"
The girls cleaned the table and went to their rooms to finish their homework.
"How do I look?" a nervous Beca asked her daughters.
"You look fine they assured her. Just go already."
Beca stepped into the Lighthouse café. She was nervous as hell. How would Chloe react. She looked through the café and saw her favorite redhead immediately.
She walked over to the table were Chloe sat. Chloe stood up and pulled her into a massive hug.
"Beca I missed you so much" the redhead said.
"Breathe, Chloe, I need air."
"Sorry" the redhead grinned.
"Come sit down."
After they ordered their drinks, they started to talk.
"Beca, why did you leave?" the redhead wanted to know.
"I found out I was pregnant. And I panicked. I didn't know if I wanted to stay with Jesse. I just didn't know what to do" Beca said softly.
"Why didn't you come to me or Stacie?"
"I'm weird about these things so I left. I'm so sorry Chloe."
"We were all so worried Becs. Jesse was heartbroken. Emily was a mess when you left. It wasn't the same anymore."
"I know and I'm really sorry. I shut everybody out. It´s just easier. I never meant to hurt you Chlo. I just freaked out and ran away./
"Well I found you now. The Bellas will be so happy to see you."
"I don't know if I could ever face them again. Especially Aubrey" Beca said.
"You have to do this sometime, it might be just as well now. I planned a Bella´s reunion on Friday. Please come. And take your daughters with you."
Beca looked in her eyes and then she knew she would be there.
