As soon as the girls got in Jesse's car they got quiet. Aubrey was quite because she was nervous as hell and over thinking. Afraid that she would throw up again. Her two sisters in the backseat who were usually very talkative, were quiet because they to realized it was the first time they left their home for such long time. Aubrey who sat next to Jesse, held it barely together. She was terrified of how her grandparents would think about her and her sisters. It didn't go unnoticed by her sisters , who always kept an eye on her. Chloe who was an full half an hour younger than Aubrey, watched her sister from the backseat. She leaned forward to give her sister an pat on the shoulder. Just to let her know that she was there.
Jesse who was nervous as well tried not to show it to his daughters. It would be an three hour long drive before they reached their destination. He put on a smile and tried to lighten the mood.
"So are you girls ready for this adventure", he asked them.
Stacie the only one who doesn't seem to be nervous answered him. Yes, we are ready for this. "Could you tell us more about your parents" she asked him, not sure if she should call him Jesse or dad.
"My father, your grandfather is a history teacher at my old high school. He is a family man. He use to take us fishing, and camping in the weekends. He taught us to treat women with respect and love. And when I told him about you three he couldn't be happier to have more grandkids" Jesse told them.
"Caroline my mom, is a housewife. She used to be a nurse, but when she became pregnant with my eldest brother she quit her job to become a fulltime mother. She loves to paint and is a fabulous cook. She loves her family more than anything. She would always weekly movie or game nights" Jesse said.
He noticed that talking about his parents made him more relaxed. And he saw that his daughters were more relaxed to after telling them about their grandparents.
They had been driving for one and a half hour now. "How about a stop" he asked them. "To eat and drink something". "Sounds good, I could use the restroom" Aubrey said. They stopped at the first restaurant they saw.
After they used the restroom they found a table. They ordered some burgers and milkshakes. They were talking about random things while waiting for their food. The girls learned they inherited their love for movies from Jesse. When they finished eating they got back in the car. This time Stacie switched seats with Aubrey. They didn't feel like talking so Jesse turned on the radio. When he started to sing along the girls harmonized with him. "You are definitely aca children" Jesse laughed. "You have amazing voices" he stated. "You could always go to Barden and join the Bella's".
Finally they reached Jesse's parents house. When they got out Jesse's parents were awaiting them. "Hey son, his father greeted him". He hugged his mother.
"Mom, dad, these are my beautiful daughters". These are Aubrey, Stacie and Chloe" Jesse said to his parents.
"Hello girls, their grandparents said. Welcome, were so glad were finally meeting you. Come in their grandmother said to them". They followed them in the house. When they got inside their grandparents hugged them enthusiastically.
"I will show you room so you can put your bags away" their grandmother said to them. They followed her upstairs to a room with three single beds in it. "I hope you don't mind to share a room" their grandmother said. "No, we don't mind" Aubrey answered for all of them. "Well I leave you to unpack. The bathroom is the third door on the left, in case you want to refresh yourself".
"They are nice" Chloe said to her sisters when their grandmother had left. They started to unpack and put their clothes in the closet. They gave their mom a quick call to tell her they arrived safely and that they missed her. After they changed their clothes and refreshed their selves they headed downstairs.
Their grandparents did everything to make them feel welcome and Aubrey felt her worries fade away. They even got them some gift cards as belated Christmas present. Their grandparent were really interested in what they liked and who they are. They noticed that their grandparent had a framed photo of them on their mantelpiece. It was the first photo of them Beca had sent Jesse. They gave their father and grandparent the same photo album Beca had made for the rest of the Bella's.
The next days they met all of their fathers brothers and their cousins. Between the five Swanson boys they were eleven kids.
Matthew Swanson, the oldest of them and his wife Elizabeth had three children. Two boys named Flynn and Isaac aged 21 and 19. And a girl named Sarah Jane. The triplets discovered they shared their birthday with her and that they were the same age. Ethan Swanson and his husband Frank had two boys. Fifteen year old twins named Gregory and Eric. David Swanson who was a single dad had only one boy, a twelve year old named Thomas. And Peter Swanson and his wife Ally had two daughters. Eight year old Madison and six year old Charlotte.
The triplets loved to be surrounded with all those kids. Back home they only had Aunt Amy's boys. New years eve everybody would be at their grandparents house to celebrate.
Beca missed her girls dearly. During the day she was distracted by her job. But when she got home to an empty house she missed them. She was glad Bella was there to greet her. And Chloe would come over every night. She loved to have alone time with the redhead. And they had a lot of make out sessions. But still she missed her girls. They called her every day to tell how they are. And she was glad they had a good time, but she had secretly hoped they would call her to pick them up. She knew girls needed this time with their father and his family and she felt guilty she wanted them for herself.
Chloe and Beca were currently making themselves ready for a party at Bree and Stacie's. the rest of the Bella's would be there. They decided to have an girls night to cheer Beca up and to take her mind off her daughters.
