"Beca please have a seat."

Beca nodded and slowly sat down in the chair across from Richard. "I'm so sorry for what you walked in on, I didn-"

Richard raised his hand signalling her to stop speaking. "It's fine, I'm glad you stopped her it shows me you are a good and responsible young lady."

Beca smiled and nodded. "I try to be, I've made lots of mistakes, still do but I do try to be responsible when it comes to that."

Richard nodded. "Are you having sex with my daughter?"

Beca's eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. "N-No sir."

He squinted his eyes at her. "Are you sure, because you don't sound to sure."

"I'm one hundred percent positive. We just got together and sex is something very sacred, I'd want to be sure that I love her before I did anything. Chloe's not the one to play around with, she means a lot to me."

Richard smiled. "What do you want from my daughter?"

Beca thought about it for a moment. "I-I don't know... I just want her. I want to be there for her, and I want to care for her.. I want her to fall in love with me."

Richard nodded. "Are you falling in love with her?"

Beca sighed. "Yeah.. I think I am."


Chloe rushed out of her room and into the kitchen where her mother was still cooking. Laura smiled at Chloe then frowned when she saw the frantic look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Dad walked in on Beca and me.. we weren't doing anything wrong.."

Melissa nodded. "And what were you two doing?"

Chloe sighed. "We were kissing and I started pulling Beca's shirt up, but she stopped me and then dad said something and then he asked Beca to go with him so they could talk."

"Okay, so why are you freaking out?"

"Because it's dad we're talking about! He sent nearly all my ex boyfriends running out the house!"

Laura laughed. "Sweetheart I doubt that's gonna happen with Beca, from what you said she didn't do anything wrong, it seems like we need to be having a talk with you."

Chloe laughed nervously. "Not necessary."

Laura nodded. "And even if your father did anything to intimidate her, I doubt she'd run. Beca is a strong person and she goes after what she wants."

"I hope everything is going okay in there..."


"No way! She cried?" Beca said as she laughed.

Richard chuckled. "She cried, they were just saying hello to her and being nice but she started crying and trying to attack it."

Beca laughed harder. "Remind me to never take Chloe to Disney World, or at least avoid the characters."

Richard nodded. "Will do."

"I went to Disney World once... it was amazing, one of the last things I did with my mother before she died... I couldn't believe we were going and I still don't know where she got the money from, but she made sure that day was the best day of my life, and it was."

Richard gave her sad smile. "Seems like you miss her."

"Of course I miss her, she's my mother. I mean she was a crappy mother and she did some horrible things but she was still my mom and no matter what she did, the good always out weighed the bad. That day at Disney World trumps any day she did something bad, because I could tell she was genuine the whole day and she genuinely wanted me to be happy and to have a good day."

"Yeah I understand, at least you still have your father."

Beca laughed. "Yeah right.."

Richard frowned. "Who's taking care of you and your sister?"

"I uh I live at my grandma's house.."

Richard nodded in understanding. "You should probably go back to Chloe now, she's probably freaking out."

Beca stood and held her hand out. "It was nice talking to you Mr. Beale."

Richard smiled and shook Beca's hand. "You can call me Richard, and it was nice talking to you too. It's nice to see my daughter has finally picked someone with a good head on their shoulders."

Beca smiled. "Thanks."

"Thank you for respecting my daughter."

Beca nodded. "Anytime, I'll see you at dinner."

She walked out the room with a smile and made her way back to Chloe's room. "Chloe?" When she got no response she made her way to the kitchen. Chloe spotted her and quickly walked up to her. "Beca! I'm sorry for anything he said.. please don't go!"

Beca frowned. "Go? Go where?"

"H-He didn't scare you and threaten you and make you so uncomfortable that you wanted to leave?"

Beca laughed. "No.. The opposite actually. We had a nice conversation about lots of things. He even told me about the time you went to Disney World and attacked Mickey and Minnie Mouse."

Chloe gasped in shock. "He didn't!"

"How else would I know?" Beca said with a shrug.

Chloe covered her face with her hands. "So embarrassing..."

Beca moved Chloe's hands and gave her a quick kiss. "Not embarrassing... Cute."

Laura laughed. "If you think that's embarrassing you better hope he doesn't talk about our trip to the beach."

Chloe's eyes widened. "Mom.. no!"

Beca smirked. "I'd love to hear about this trip to the beach."

Richard walked into the kitchen with a grin. "Ooh are we talking about the trip to the beach?"

Chloe groaned. "Daddy.."

Melissa laughed. "Dinners finished."

Chloe let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god.."

Melissa smirked. "We can talk more about it while we eat."

Chloe's eyes widened as everyone walked into the dining room. "Dear lord... please help me." Chloe said to herself.


They had been eating for a few minutes when Beca cleared her throat. "So how about that trip to the bea- ouch!" Beca rubbed her leg and looked at Chloe with wide eyes when she realized she kicked her. "Chloe!"

Chloe shrugged. "It was an accident... sorry."

Richard laughed. "Sure it was.. so we went to the beach about six or seven years ago. We were all having a great time until we heard this deafening scream."

Chloe covered her face with her hands. "Please stop.."

Beca grabbed Chloe's hand and smiled at her. Richard continued. "We saw Chloe nearly sprinting out of the water and struggling to walk and she was screaming at the top of her lungs. We finally understood what she said once we got her to calm down and she was telling us she got stung by a jellyfish."

Beca's eyes widened. "Wow.. I bet that was painful."

Chloe nodded. "Extremely... and that's the end of the story, my parents are cruel people who laugh at their daughters pain."

Beca smirked. "I get the feeling there's more to the story."

Laura nodded. "There is.. after she told us she was stung by the jellyfish she started hopping around and yelling that someone needed to pee on her. Random people would be walking by and she would hop over and just yell 'pee on me!'"

Beca looked at Chloe with questioning eyes, a grin still in place on her face. "Pee on me?"

Chloe sighed. "I saw it on friends... Monica got stung by a jellyfish and Chandler had to pee on her. I know it's humiliating but I just needed the pain to go away."

Beca tried to hide her laugh by asking another question. She looked at Richard and Laura. "So one of you peed on her?" She asked with a chuckle, her skin slowly turning red from trying to hold in the laugh.

"Of course not!" Laura said with a giggle. "Richard picked her up and we took her back into the beach house and put some vinegar on it. Just as effective, much more sanitary."

Beca finally let out her laugh and wiped away a tear that fell from her eye. "Sorry for laughing Chlo but that is just too funny."

"How come I don't remember that?" Caleb said with a pout.

Chloe smiled at him. "You were just a little baby when that happened." She looked at Beca with a small smile on her lips. "I don't blame you for laughing, it's a ridiculous story."

Beca grinned. "Ridiculously cute.. I can only imagine you hopping around asking people to pee on you."

Riley looked at Beca with a smile. "You have a jellyfish story too Bec."

Beca looked at Riley with wide eyes. "No one wants to hear my boring story."

Chloe smirked and looked at Beca mischievously. "Oh no we'd love to hear it."

Riley nodded and Beca sighed. "This was last summer I think, we were playing in the water and then I heard Beca scream really loud and then she said oh fu-"

"Language Ry..."

"She said oh then she said the f word.. she said it a couple times then she passed out."

Chloe looked up at Beca with a worried face. "Were you alright? What happened?"

Riley laughed. "She was so freaked out that she passed out."

Chloe worry instantly went away and was quickly replaced with laughter. "You freaked that bad Bec?"

Beca playfully rolled her eyes. "Whatever.. it hurt."

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand and kissed it. "I know your pain."


The rest of dinner went on as such, telling old stories and laughing. They were just finishing up dinner when Richard asked the question Chloe had been waiting for him to ask. "So Beca what are your plans for the future, and if you and Chloe end up together for the rest of your lives how do you plan on supporting her?"

Beca just so happened to be taking a sip of her drink when he asked so she nearly choked. She looked at Chloe with wide eyes and then back at Richard who was looking at her waiting for her reply. "I uh, I like making short films.. and I DJ too, so something in that field."

Richard nodded. "What are your plans after high school?"

"There are... a lot of things running around in my head right now. I'm not really one hundred percent sure yet. It's always been a dream of mine to move to LA so I could see that happening, but I have Riley to think about too, I have to think about her when it comes to my future planning."

Laura took a sip of her wine and smiled. "It's nice that you care so deeply about her but you can't stop your life because you don't want to leave her."

Beca sighed. "It's not that."

Richard squinted his eyes a bit as he looked at Beca. "What is it then?"

"Dad you don't have to know every single fact about Beca okay! She cares about Riley and she's there for Riley a lot. They have a bond that she doesn't want to break.. can we leave it?"

Richard sighed but nodded. "Fine.. I apologize Beca."

"It's fine.."

Riley looked at Beca and stood up. "Beca can you walk me to the bathroom?"

"Ry you know where the bathroom is, why do I need to walk you?"

Riley rolled her eyes. "Please?"

Beca excused herself and followed Riley to the bathroom. "There I walked you to the bathroom, happy?"

Riley shook her head. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah.. I'm fine."

Riley folded her arms and gave Beca a look.

"What?"

"Beca I know when you say you're fine, you're not really fine..."

Beca sighed. "Just leave it Ry, I'm okay."

"I know I'm young Beca but you can talk to me.. we've been through a lot together and you've protected me from a lot.. I want to be there for you."

Beca sat down on the edge of the tub and covered her face with her hands, she let out a long sigh. "It's just Chloe's dad got me thinking... what am I gonna do? I always planned on going to LA after high school but now I'm not sure."

Riley sat next to Beca. "Why?"

"Well I've got you for starters.. I don't wanna take you out of school here and take you to a new state and just make you start all over."

Riley frowned. "Again I know I'm young.. but I should at least have a say in this. Bec wherever you go, I follow. You wouldn't be taking me, I'd be willingly going to live with you. I don't care about this place Beca.. you're my home. You've nearly changed your whole life so you can take care of me. The only thing that would suck about leaving would be leaving Caleb... and Chloe."

Beca sighed. "That's my second dilemma.. but I've got nearly two years to worry about that."

Riley nodded. "Yeah, it's only October. You still have the rest of this school year and twelfth grade."

Beca smiled. "Thanks Ry.."

Riley hugged Beca and stood up. "Anytime Bec, we have to be there for each other."


Meanwhile...

"Dad did you have to question her like that?"

Richard frowned. "It was just a few questions, if you two make it in the long haul I want to make sure you'll be well taken care of."

"That doesn't mean you have to give her the freaking third degree!"

Laura cleared her throat. "Chloe... calm down. Why are you so upset, he simply asked her what her plans were and why did they have to revolve around Riley."

Chloe sighed, she wished she could tell them why it was such a big deal, but she knew her parents would probably think Riley should be with a legal adult. "It's just they've been through a lot together and it is almost like all they have is each other. Beca would never leave Riley no matter what.."

Richard nodded. "Okay, I'll apologize to her when she comes back in. I don't really know all of what is going on in her life but from what she told me and from how things seems, she's had it rough."

Chloe gave her dad a small smile and nodded her head. "Thank you daddy."

Beca and Riley walked back into the room a few minutes later with smiles on their faces. Richard smiled at them and cleared his throat. "I'd like to apologize Beca, I shouldn't have questioned you so much."

Beca smiled. "It's fine, you just want to make sure Chloe will be in good hands, and I assure you she will be."

Richard nodded. "Thank you for understanding."

They finished dinner not long after and after Beca insisting on helping Laura clean up and another short talk with Richard, Beca was making her way to Chloe's room. She knocked on the door and slowly opened it. "Chlo?"

Chloe looked up from he computer and smiled. "Finally finished sucking up to my parents?"

Beca walked into the room and sat next to Chloe with a smirk. "I wasn't sucking up to them, I was being polite."

Chloe nodded. "What did you talk about with my dad this time?"

"Oh a little of this, a little of that..."

"Becaaa.. Did he tell you more embarrassing things about me?"

Beca smirked but shook her head. "No.. I was talking to him about the Riley thing.. I didn't tell him the whole thing. I just told him I do the most in taking care of her."

Chloe nodded. "I'm sorry he grilled you like that earlier."

"It's fine." Beca leaned over and kissed Chloe. "He wants the best for you." Beca stood up and ran to her bag pulling something out. "I have something for you."

Chloe smiled. "What is it?"

Beca made her way back to the bed and smiled at Chloe. "I know we haven't really been together that long, but I just wanted to give you something to show you how much you mean to me..." Beca showed Chloe a box and she gasped, Beca laughed. "Don't worry it's not what you think." Beca opened the box revealing a beautiful diamond necklace. Again Chloe gasped.

"Beca.. I can't accept this."

Beca took it out the box and smiled at Chloe. "Of course you can.. I bought this for you."

"Why? This much have costed you a fortune."

"That doesn't matter Chloe, I just wanted to give you something, along with my promise that you are who I want to be with. I also have this..." She pulled a CD from behind her back. "I made you a mix."

Chloe took it with a grin. "Oh my gosh! Thank you! I feel bad now, you've given me these things and I have nothing for you."

Beca playfully rolled her eyes. "You have everything for me, just you being here with me, it's all I need."

Chloe smiled and kissed Beca before pulling away, pulling her hair up and turning away from Beca. "Can you put the necklace on me?"

Beca nodded and put the necklace around her neck. She latched it together and kissed Chloe on her shoulder. "Done."

Chloe stood up and walked to her mirror to look at. "It's so beautiful Bec."

Beca walked up beside her and wrapped an arm around her waist. "I figured it look good on you. You're so damn beautiful I had to find something to match."

Chloe blushed and kissed Beca again. Things started to get a bit heated, but they were soon interupted by Riley and Caleb running into the room."

"Oops!" They both said.

Beca pulled away and looked at Riley expectantly. "What is it?"

Riley gave Beca a sweet smile. "You know your my favoritist sister right?"

Beca nodded. "I'm your only sister, now what do you want?"

"Can we stay the night please? Mr. Beale said it was fine as long as we had permission.."

"I'd love to, but we aren't prepared for that. Your medicine and clothes are back home."

Riley sighed but nodded. "Okay..."

Beca walked over to Riley and put a hand on her shoulder. "But... we can do it another time, like Friday maybe.." She looked at Chloe for verification.

Chloe nodded. "I'll have to check with my parent's but I'm sure it'll be fine."

"Or.. you and Caleb can come to my house, it's parent free.."

Chloe smiled at Beca. "That's an even better idea."

Beca looked at her watch and sighed. "We should probably head home now. It's getting a bit late and I've gotta get Ry ready for bed and give her her medicine."

Chloe nodded. "I'll walk you out."

They made their way through the house, Beca and Riley saying bye to Laura and Richard. Beca helped Riley get into the car, making sure she was buckled in before looking at Chloe with a smile. "Tonight was amazing.. your family is great."

Chloe smiled. "I know, it was nice. I wish you could stay longer."

Beca nodded. "Me too, but hey I'll see you tomorrow and you can come to my house after school if you'd like."

"Sounds good, and I can't really enjoy seeing you at school because of Kate and Stacie."

Beca sighed. "I know, but we can't let them stop us from being together."

Chloe nodded. "Yeah..." She kissed Beca and wrapped her in a tight hug before backing away. "Call me when you get home okay?"

Beca nodded and kissed Chloe one more time before getting in the car. "I'll talk to you later beautiful."

Chloe smiled. "See ya."

"Bye Chloe!"

Chloe laughed and looked at the backseat to wave at Riley. "See you tomorrow Ry. I hope you had a good time tonight."

Riley nodded. "I did, see you tomorrow."

With one final wave, Beca pulled out of the drive way and drove home.


Chloe walked back into her house and into the living room with a smile. She sat down on the couch, her mind immediately wondering off to thoughts about Beca. Richard walked in the room and smiled before sitting next to Chloe. "What ya thinking about?"

Chloe smiled at her father. "Just thinking about Beca." She said while unknowingly playing with her necklace.

Richard looked at the necklace and his eyes widened. He gently grabbed it. "Where'd you get this from?"

Chloe smiled. "From Beca obviously.."

"Where'd she get the money to get this? I know this costs a pretty penny, I wanted to get this for your mother."

Chloe shrugged. "Beca is blessed in the money department."

Richard squinted his eyes. "Is she getting money illegally?"

"What? Dad what are you talking about?"

"Is she selling drugs?"

"No! She inherited money okay! Please stop looking for the bad in Beca because you like her dad I know you do. Beca is great so please stop trying to find something."

Richard sighed and nodded. "You're right.. I'm sorry okay, it's hard seeing my little girl in relationships, and this one looks like it could be a long one."

Chloe's face softened. "Dad.. I know it's hard watching me grow and fall in love, but I will always be your daughter, even if you can't call me your little girl anymore, I will always be your daughter and I'll always be there for you. And you're right, I think Beca and I will be together for a long time, maybe even forever."

Richard nodded. "I'll get use to it."

Chloe smiled. "Thanks dad.. I love you."

Richard smiled and wrapped Chloe and tight hug before kissing her forehead. "I love you too Chloe." Chloe's phone started buzzing as they pulled away from the hug. Richard saw Chloe's grin and immediatley knew who it was. "I'll leave you to it, goodnight sweet heart."

"Goodnight daddy." Chloe watched as her dad left the room and quickly answered the phone. "Hello?"

Hey gorgeous, I'm home.

Chloe smiled. "Glad you made it home safely."

Yeah me too, Riley had a lot of fun. She nearly passed out the minute we walked in the house. I couldn't even give her a bath, she took her medicine and went to bed.

Chloe laughed. "Her and Caleb were running around quite a bit.. did you have fun?"

Yeah, I told you I did. Any time spent with you is great.

"The feelings mutual.. my dad likes you, he tried to deny it at first and find something wrong with you, but he caved."

That's me, Beca Mitchell badass slash parent pleaser.

Chloe grinned. "That's true... hey I'm a little tired so I'm gonna head to bed, but I'll see you tomorrow."

Okay babe, I'll pick you up in the morning, goodnight.

"Okay, see you then. Goodnight." Chloe hung up with a smile and skipped to her bedroom after saying goodnight to her mom.

Chloe was laying in her bed half asleep when she heard a little knock on her door. She sat up and saw Caleb standing by it. She waved him in. "Everything okay Cal?"

He slowly walked in the room and laid next to Chloe. "Are you in love with Beca?"

"I uh I don't know.."

"Are you leaving?"

Chloe frowned. "What do you mean?" She said with a yawn.

Caleb sighed. "Riley said Beca will probably move to LA and that she's going with her. Then she said if you love her that you will go with her too."

Chloe thought about it for a minute. "I don't know.. I mean I think it's too early for me to really know how I feel Cal, but I promise I'm not moving anytime soon, and neither it Riley or Beca. We're in eleventh grade, we have nearly two years and a lot of things can happen an if I do end up moving across the world with Beca I promise I'll never forget you and I'd call you everyday."

Caleb nodded. "Okay.."

"You wanna sleep in here with me tonight?"

Caleb smiled and got under the covers. "I love you Chlo.'

Chloe kissed him on the forehead and closed her eyes. "I love you too Cal, goodnight."


Chloe woke up the next morning to the sound of her phone buzzing. She smiled when she saw it was a text from Beca.

[Becs :) 6:15 AM] Good morning my beautiful girlfriend, I'm coming to get you in twenty, hope your sexy ass is ready.

Chloe grinned and sent a text message back.

[Chloe Super Hot Girlfriend 6:17 AM] Make that thirty minutes and I'll be ready, and good morning to you too beautiful

[ Becs :) 6:18 AM] It's a deal Beale now stop texting me and get ready!

Chloe laughed but hopped out of bed and got her things together so she could shower. After she showered and got dressed she made her way back to her room and saw Caleb was still sleep. She quickly woke him up and he ran to the bathroom. They both came walking into the kitchen twenty minutes later Laura smiled at the two.

"Well good morning my two beautiful children."

They both walked over to Laura and hugged her saying good morning.

"Am I driving you guys to school today or is Beca coming?"

Chloe sat down at the table and started eating the food her mom made. "Beca's coming, she'll be here in like ten minutes."

Laura nodded. "Okay." She looked over at Caleb. "You weren't in your room, did you have a nightmare?"

Caleb shook his head. "I just felt like staying with Chloe."

Chloe nodded. "We had a heart to heart. He was worried about me leaving and going to live some where else."

Before anyone else could say anything they heard a car horn. Chloe stood up. "Well that's our ride, come on Caleb."

They hugged and kissed Laura and made their way to Beca's car. Beca ran out to greet them. "Hey." She kissed Chloe and smiled. "So uh Stacie's car broke down so she's in there."

Chloe's smile went down a bit. "Oh... Okay then."

Beca nodded. "She's sitting in the back with Riley."

They got in the car and Chloe looked back at Stacie with a small smile. "Hey.."

Stacie smiled. "Hey Chlo! Good morning!"

"Good morning."

The car ride was spent in comfortable silence until they dropped Riley and Caleb off. Now it was only Beca, Chloe, and Stacie, and Chloe couldn't help but feel a bit of tension in the air. She turned back in her seat and looked at Stacie. "So Stace how was your night?"

Stacie shrugged. "It was fine, I was at Beca's house with Riley for a bit and then I went home.. hey Bec Kate just texted me, she needs a ride and since you're my ride that means you're her ride so could you circle back around?"

Beca sighed and looked at Chloe, she gave her a tight smile and then looked at Stacie through the rear view mirror. "Sure."

They pulled up to Kate's house ten minutes later and she walked up to it with a small frown. "What's going on?"

Stacie smiled. "We're here to pick you up silly."

Kate looked at Beca and Chloe in the front seat and slid in the back. "Great.." She muttered to herself.
