The car ride back to Beca's house was awkward and silent. Riley could feel the tension and cleared her throat. "So how was everyone's day?"

Chloe gave Riley a small smile. "It was okay, how was your day?"

"It was great, I had a lot of fun in gym! Oh and Caleb and I are partners for a science project!" Riley said excitedly.

Chloe nodded. "That's nice, I'm glad you and Caleb get along."

The car went silent again and Riley sighed. "Are you two fighting?"

Beca looked at Riley through the rear view mirror and back at the road. "It's nothing you need to worry about Ry."

Riley folded her arms. "If it affects my future sister in law I do need to worry about it."

Chloe looked at Riley with a grin. "Don't worry, what happened today doesn't affect the chances of me becoming your sister in law." Riley smiled and nodded as Beca just looked at Chloe with wide eyes. Chloe shrugged. "What? Do you not plan on marrying me in the future?"

Beca just smiled and looked to the road again as she pulled up to the house, her smile instantly turned into a frown when she saw Stacie's car was parked in the driveway. "I forgot we told her she could come over."

As they walked up the driveway Stacie came out of her car with a grin. "Hey you guys!"

Beca gave her a small smile. "Hey..."

Stacie sighed. "Let me guess, somethings come up and I have to leave and you'll see me when you see me."

Beca put her head down, feeling guilty. She shook her head and looked up at Stacie. "Actually I was thinking you could come with me and we could pick up some food to bring back here."

Stacie eyes lightened and she smiled. "Really?!"

Beca nodded. "Yeah, that is if you wanna hang with me for a little."

Stacie pretended to think about it. "Uh... Duh, hell yeah! Let's take your car!" She walked over to Beca's car and quickly got in .

Beca looked at Chloe who was looking at her with a questioning gaze. "I can tell she's trying to be better, but we never give her the chance to be around me."

Chloe nodded. "Fine.. Don't be gone too long, your sister needs to eat before she can take her medicine and we still need to talk.."

"Of course Chloe, I'd never forget what Riley needs, and we'll talk I promise." She gave Chloe a quick peck on the lips and quickly walked to her car, she waited for Chloe and Riley to walk in the house and drove off.

"Thanks for this Beca." Stacie said after they had been driving in silence for about five minutes.

Beca smiled at Stacie and nodded. "I can see you're trying, and I do miss you being my friend."

"I'm so glad you're better now, it killed me not being able to help you."

Beca pulled up to the McDonald's drive thru and waited for the other cars to move. "Honestly Stace there is nothing you could have done, no one I had to believe in myself and get the exercise I need."

Stacie nodded. "Yeah, but Chloe was there for you all along the way.. I wish I could have been there too."

Beca pulled the car forward a bit and then looked at Stacie. "That's different, she's my girlfriend.. she unknowingly lifts me up and makes me happy. She was a huge supporter and I needed that from her and Riley the most."

Stacie sighed and looked down at her hands. "I wish I could be that for you."

Beca sighed and was about to say something but it was her turn to order. "Hi, can I get four double cheese burgers, three large fries, one small fry, three large sodas, two pepsi, one mountain dew, and a small fruit punch... thank you." She pulled up to the window and waited for her order. "Stacie... I.. get this may be difficult and if you can't handle being around me because of your feelings then you shouldn't. Don't torture yourself because you don't wanna lose me, we can spend some time apart.. I'll still be here."

"Bec I don't know if I can do that."

Beca reached over and grabbed Stacie's hand. "You can do anything, just like you were able to annoy the fuck outta me for two years because you felt like being a flirt."

Stacie laughed and wiped a couple tears that were forming. "I'm sorry I've been such a bitch.."

"It's fine y-" She was interrupted as the food was finished. She grabbed the bags and paid before driving to the lot and parking. "Stacie you fell in love and didn't know how to react, so you lashed out... You being around and seeing Chloe and I together is no good for you.. We need time apart, you need time to heal."

"But we've been apart all this time Bec-"

"Have we really? Even when I tried to avoid you, you still found a way to be around me."

Stacie nodded as she thought about it. "That's true... When we get back to your house I think I'm gonna head home... And I don't know when I'll talk to you again."

Beca nodded sadly. "I understand... But you know where I'll be when you feel like you can be around with out... feeling. things.."

"Thank you Beca.. Can I have a kiss.. to you know... remember?"

Beca laughed and shook her head. "I don't think my girlfriend would like that."

Stacie shrugged. "Thought it was worth a try."

Beca smirked and drove off, heading back home. "I think everything is gonna be alright Stace." They pulled up to Beca's house and Beca handed Stacie her food and drink and smiled at her. "So.. I'll see you... again at some point in time.."

Stacie laughed and nodded, wrapping Beca in a hug. "I'll see you."

They both stepped out of the car and Beca watched Stacie get in her car and drive away before sighing and walking into her house. "Ry? Chlo?"

"In the kitchen!"

Beca walked into the kitchen with the food and smiled at them "What are you two doing?"

"We're starting dinner!" Riley said excitedly.

Beca smiled at Chloe. "Making dinner for the family already? I'm gonna have to lock you down and make sure no one else can have you."

Chloe laughed and walked over to Beca. "You're crazy." She kissed Beca and then frowned, looking around. "Where's Stacie?"

"I need to talk to you about that... Are you finished here?" Chloe nodded and Beca grabbed Riley's medicine. "Okay, Ry let's get you your medicine and then you eat and watch some TV while Chloe and I have a talk."

Riley nodded and sat still as Beca gave her the medicine. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everythings fine.. You're all set, now take your food and you can watch some TV. We'll be there in a minute."

Riley walked out of the room with her food and a smile and Chloe looked at Beca expectantly. "What's going on?"

"We had a nice talk and we decided it'd be best if we spent time apart... she won't be around us for awhile, not until she feels that she doesn't have feelings for me."

Chloe tried to hide the smile that was breaking through, but she couldn't. "So that means we'll be stress free?"

Beca nodded. "From Stacie at least, but there still is the topic of that dickhead Brad..."

Chloe sighed. "What happened baby?"

"I was standing by my car waiting for you to come out the building when I heard someone talking trash about me and saying they would beat me up and take you. When I went to see who it was and saw it was Brad... I just got like ten times angrier, he's such an asshole, and we've had issues before you even came to this school."

Chloe nodded. "What happened between you two?"

"I was in tenth grade, it was after the whole Stacie thing happened so I didn't really know what was going on in her life because we didn't talk anymore. I heard him blabbing about her one day, just talking about how she was going over his house to study and how he was gonna bang her whether she liked it or not ad a lot of other foul things... Regardless of how I feel about Stacie, she still holds a place in my heart and will forever be important to me so I went up to him and told him to shut his fucking mouth and not to lay a hand on her.. He challenged me and I lost it, he was practically threatening to hurt her so we started fighting and I broke his nose, like I practically shattered it."

They sat in silence for a moment before Chloe took a deep breath. "Wow.. I guess now I know why you didn't want him to drive me home that time."

Beca nodded and grabbed Chloe's hands. "I'm sorry babe, you've gotta know that.. I love you so much Chloe and I fight for the people I love.. I couldn't stand by and let him talk bad on you or me."

Chloe sighed and nodded. "I'm still disappointed in you, but I understand." She leaned in and kissed Beca. "Let's eat our food and see what Ry is watching.


Beca, Chloe, and Riley were now in 'Christmas in Hollywood', a Christmas shop that was open year round. Riley was wandering around the store with a huge smile at her face as she picked out decorations for the house. Chloe smiled as she saw a huge wreath and picked it up. "Hey Bec what do you think of this?"

Beca's eyes widened when she looked at Chloe. The wreath was nearly as bug as her. "It's... big.."

Chloe laughed. "Yeah, but your door is huge so I think this would be perfect."

Beca nodded and gestured to the cart. "Put it in... So we've got ornaments, garland, cards, lights, fake snow, icicles, and a wreath... anything else?"

Riley jumped up and nodded. "A tree!"

"Alright then, let's go over there and look at the trees and see if we like any." Beca watched with a smile as Riley and Chloe held hands and looked at the trees with huge grins on there faces.

"You have a beautiful family."

"Huh?" Beca looked over at a lady who was smiling at her.

"Your daughter and wife, I can tell you really love them.."

Beca smiled and blushed a bit. "Oh.. I'm not married and I don't have any kids. I'm only seventeen, that's my sister and my girlfriend, but I do love them and they mean a lot to me."

The lady smiled and nodded. "Sorry for assuming, you all just looked like a little family. You and your girlfriend are gonna be great parents one day." The lady gave a final smile and nod and walked away.

Beca stood there blushing and thinking about having kids with Chloe. "I guess we are kind of a little family." Beca said to herself. Beca smiled as Chloe ran up to her with a grin.

"Baby you've gotta check this out! We found the most amazing tree ever!"

Beca nodded and followed Chloe, her jaw dropping when she saw the tree. It was beautiful, but it was humongous. "I'm sensing a theme here."

"And what is this theme?" Chloe asked with a smile.

Beca gestured to the things in the cart and then the tree. "Bigger is better."

Chloe laughed and nodded. "I'd have to agree, everything we picked is really big.. but its to make up for the fact that you're so tiny."

Beca rolled her eyes with a smirk. "Whatever, I'm gonna go get someone so they can wrap this baby up and ship it to my house." Beca walked away and Riley smiled at Chloe.

"This our first Christmas with it just being us, our grandparents are gone.. our parents.. not that they were ever really around, but this is looking like it's gonna be the best Christmas yet and I'm so happy you're gonna be apart of it."

Chloe smiled and hugged Riley. "I know you guys had it tough for awhile, but I'm glad you can still find happiness in all of it. Beca is really trying and I'm glad you can see that."

Riley nodded. "Beca has been there for me from the moment I was born, even when she was doing bad things, she always made sure I was okay... She always had to take care of someone, I'm glad she has you now so you guys can take care of each other."

Chloe grinned and hugged Riley tighter as Beca and a man walked over to them. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, just having a heart to heart."

Beca nodded and looked at the man. "That big ass tree right there, the lady told me to write down my address so she has it."

"Okay, will you be home in a half an hour?"

Beca looked at the time and nodded. "Yeah."

The man nodded and wrote something down. "Cool, I'll be there in a half an hour. Have a nice day." He started moving the tree and the girls went to the register to pay for their things.

Beca's eyes widened as the total popped up. "Damn, that shit was expensive.. sorry for cursing Ry."

Riley just waved her off with a grin. Chloe looked at Beca with a bit of concern. "Maybe we should put some of this stuff back.."

Beca shook her head. "What? No.. It's cool I've got it." Beca paid for everything and they were now making their way to Beca's car with an arm full of bags. "Decorating outta be fun."


"Riley come in here and eat your dinner! That tree isn't going anywhere." Beca said as she set the table. Riley had been staring at the tree in amazement the whole two hours it's been there, only moving away for bathroom breaks and to do her homework. Riley walked into the dining room with a groan.

"The tree is so pretty Beca! I can't wait until we decorate it."

Beca nodded and smiled. "I'm glad you like it Ry, although I don't know how you're gonna put a star on top.. Guess I'm gonna have to invest in a ladder."

Chloe laughed. "Or you could climb on my shoulders and lift Riley.. we'd be a human ladder!"

Beca smirked and took a bite of her food. "The thought of becoming a human ladder and trampling to my death doesn't sound too appealing."

Chloe just smiled and kissed Beca before starting to eat her dinner along with everyone else.


"She's out like a light." Beca said as she dropped onto her bed with a sigh.

Chloe straddled Beca's legs and started massaging her back. "She had a long and exciting day, so I'm sure she was exhausted."

Beca nodded. "Mmm that feels good baby."

Chloe smiled and leaned down to kissed the back of Beca's neck. "You seem tense, so I figured I'd give you a back rub."

Beca grinned and rolled over, making Chloe fall off of her and scream as she fell onto the bed. "How thoughtful of you." She got on top of Chloe and kissed her."I love you beautiful."

Chloe smiled and kissed Beca, pulling on her bottom lip as she pulled away. "I love you too."

Beca smiled and nodded as she looked at Chloe. "So this is gonna be happening soon..."

Chloe bit her lip and nodded. "It could happen now.."

Beca laughed. "You have no idea how badly I want to do it, but-"

"I know baby, it's not the right time and you want it to be special."

Beca nodded. "Am I upsetting you?"

Chloe shook her head. "No, of course not.. I think it's good that we wait. The longer we wait the better it will be and like you said we need the right moment, I'm glad you're not just fucking me like you did those other girls before me."

"Yeah, but you're so damn sexy.. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to resist." Beca climbed off Chloe and laid next to her, wrapping an arm around her and kissing her shoulder. "You're so beautiful and amazing, I don't know how I got so lucky."

Chloe turned to face Beca and gently kissed her on the lips. "We both got lucky.. I love you Beca."

Beca grinned and closed her eyes. "I love you too Chloe."

xcombixgirlx: Adding Lily to get rid of Brad's body is a great idea lol I'll have to think about that if Beca ever has to do that lol.

Beca Mitchell-Beale: It is a difficult situation, in a way they both are right.
