Beca enjoyed the quiet Saturday morning. But it lasted not very long. As she was working on some of her mixes the doorbell rang. It was Fat Amy with four little boys in tow.
"Flatbutt" the Australian greeted her enthusiastically.
"Fat Amy what brings you here?" Beca asked.
"I was in the neighborhood and I realized you never met my little dingos" she said and gestured to the little boys.
"Are you coming in?/ she asked Fat Amy.
After they sat Fat Amy introduced her boys properly.
"Beca these are my sons, Tyler, Jonathan, Freddy and Bumper Jr."
"Hi boys nice to meet you."
They quietly said hello.
"They're really quiet for kids that have you and Bumper as their parents" she said to Fat Amy.
"Well I might scared them a little when I told them about you."
She turned to the boys.
"I don't know what your mom told you about me but I don't bite" she said as she smiled to them.
"But you are badass right?" Tyler asked.
"I used to be, but not anymore" she whispered.
"Don't tell your mommy though. Do you guys want something to drink?"
"Yes please" they answered politely.
"Aw your kids are so cute Amy."
"Thank you" the Australian said.
"So where are my nieces?" she asked when Beca came back with the drinks.
"Dance practice and singing lessons. They should be home any minute."
And that exact moment the triplets walked in.
"Hi mom were home. Aunt Amy!"
The girls rushed over to greet their aunt.
"Hey Flatbutts!" she greeted her nieces.
"What are you doing here?" they asked their aunt.
"I was in the neighborhood and I thought it was a good idea to swing by and introduce my kids to your mom."
They turned around to look at their cousins.
"They are so cute" Chloe said.
"Finally you brought them over" Stacie said.
"Can we take them to the playground aunt Amy?"
"If they want to they can."
When the kids were off to the playground Beca realized how much she missed out.
"You really have nice kids Amy" she said softly.
"I know, they got it from me" the big blonde said.
They talked about life for a while. And how it was to be a mother.
"You know Shortstack I'm glad Chloe found you. It wasn't the same after you left. And know were complete again. Well, except for Denise" the Australian woman said.
"Does anybody know where she is?" Beca asked.
"Not a clue. One day she left after a fight with Cynthia Rose."
"I forgot to ask" Fat Amy said when the kids were back.
"Are you coming tomorrow to the annual barbecue party? All the Bellas are coming."
It's in the middle of the winter Amy!" a confused Beca said.
"I know. It's an indoor barbecue party. Just come, it will be awesome. And there are fireworks and alcohol. Chloe will be there" Fat Amy teased.
"Okay Amy we will be there. What time?"
"The party starts around noon" Fat Amy said.
Before Fat Amy left she gave her address to Beca.
"Girls are you ready we have to go!" Beca said to her kids.
"I can't find my boots" Stacie yelled from het room.
"Put on Aubrey's boots. You have the same size" her mom yelled back.
"Aubrey can I borrow your boots?"
"Ready? Let's go."
"Aunt Amy has a nice house" Chloe said when her mother parked the car.
Fat Amy's house was full with all the Bellas, their partners and some of the Treblemakers. But Beca had only eyes for the redhead before her.
"You came" Chloe said to her.
Beca rolled her eyes.
"Of course, I promised Fat Amy I would come" she said.
"Come on."
Chloe dragged her to the room to a chair. She sat down and put Beca on her lap. She rested her head on Chloe's shoulder.
"So this annual barbecue party is a thing?" she asked Chloe.
"Yes, after Bumper and Fat Amy got married it became a thing. This is the tenth year or something we have this party."
"Is there a special occasion for this party?"
"You know Fat Amy. A party because it can."
"Sounds reasonable" Beca said.
After living for so many years with the Bellas Beca had learned not to question things.
"So and this firework thing?" Beca asked Chloe.
"It's tradition. Lilly started it the first time and we kept it."
"Of course Lilly. Why am I not surprised?"
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome on the eleventh annual barbecue party" Fat Amy said while she walked in the living room with an big ass cake.
Everybody gathered around her when she cut the first piece.
"Let the party begin!"
Everybody cheered and took their glasses to celebrate.
"This is really good" said Beca when she tried the food from the barbecue.
"Yeah" Chloe said. "It's Fat Amy's special sauce."
"Do we want to know what's in it?"
"No I don't think so, but you're right it's good."
After dinner everybody sat around the table. Suddenly Legacy started to sing.
I got my ticket for the long way round….
One by one they joined her and it sounded perfect.
"Everybody grab something to drink" Fat Amy said. "It's time for the firework."
They all went outside where Lilly had set up a giant firework show. They started to count down. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…An explosion of bangs and colors. It was really a spectacle to see.
Chloe pulled Beca in her arms. They started to kiss and didn't see how everybody looked happy to see their favorite couple together again.
The need of air caused them to break apart. They saw Fat Amy looked at them with a huge grin.
"I always be the captain of the Bhloe ship" the blond said.
Beca felt her face redden at the Australian woman's comments but Chloe pulled her in for a new passionate kiss.
