"Mr. Beale.. You called?" Beca asked nervously.

"I did, what are you doing?"

Beca's eyes widened and she looked at Chloe. "I uh, I'm just laying.. in bed."

"Why do you sound so nervous?"

Beca sighed. "The last time we spoke you were telling me to stay away from your daughter and you hate me..."

"I don't hate you Beca.."

"I don't want to sound rude Mr. Beale but why are you calling me?"

Richard took a deep breath and sighed. "You came into my house Christmas night, why? And don't bother trying to say you didn't, I already spoke with Chloe about it."

"I-I just wasn't ready to let go yet... I love her."

"Have you moved on?"

Beca frowned. "Of course not! I don't think I'd ever be able to move on from Chloe."

"I may have overreacted and I apologize for how I handled things.."

Beca looked at Chloe and her eyes widened. "I forgive you, I think I'd be pissed too if my daughter was.. Well you know what happened."

Richard gave her a small chuckle. "I'll allow you to start seeing Chloe again when Laura and I return."

"R-Really!" Beca asked with a grin.

"Yes and I know I was being unreasonable before but I'd like for us to have that talk."

Beca nodded. "Of course!"

"Okay, I'll see you in a week Beca."

"Thank you Mr. Beale... Really, I love Chloe so much and I promise I won't let you down again."

"Okay Beca thank you... bye."

"Bye." Beca hung up and looked at Chloe with a grin. "I think he's coming around.."

Chloe grinned back at Beca and nodded. "Yeah."

"I can't believe we just finished swimming and it's winter!" Chloe said with a grin as they walked in their hotel room.

Beca laughed. "That's the benefits of having an indoor pool."

Chloe smiled and dropped on the bed. "We were about to do something earlier but then my dad called and the mood was ruined..."

Beca smirked and slowly walked over to Chloe. "We were weren't we?"

Chloe nodded and scooted further on the bed. "Maybe we should continue..."

Beca reached Chloe and pulled her bikini top off of her. "I agree." She threw Chloe's top behind her and started kissing her. "How did I get so lucky?"

Chloe let out a low moan as Beca attached her lips to her nipple. "I ask myself the same question."

Beca smiled and kissed Chloe on the lips. "I love you."

"I love you too, now-"

*ring ring ring*

Beca sighed. "Hang on a sec." She said as she pulled away from Chloe and grabbed her phone. "Hello?" She said without looking at the phone.

"Beca! Beca I need your help?"

Beca frowned. "Bumper?"

"Yes! Who else would it be?"

Beca sighed. "I didn't look at who called... What's wrong?"

"The guys I told you about earlier want to collect their debt now! Please Beca I need y-... Who is this?" Another voice asked.

Beca frowned. "Who is this and where'd Bumper go?"

"I'm the guy that's gonna kill your friend if he doesn't pay me."

"How much does he owe you?"

"Three thousand for the goods and an extra five hundred for all the trouble we're going through.. He's lucky I'm not charging more."

Beca sighed. "Okay, I'm the person that's helping him pay you back... Can we meet up somewhere?"

"I want you to come to me. You know that alleyway on fifth street?"

"Yeah I've been around there a few times in my youth..."

"Good, there's a building behind it be there in a hour at the latest or he dies."

Beca nodded. "Got it. There won't be some code or anything right?"

"When you get there just say PJ sent you... OH and don't come with the police or he will die and so will you."

"That didn't even cross my mind PJ so-" Before she could finish her sentence the line went dead. She looked at Chloe. "So we're gonna have to finish this later.."

Chloe frowned. "What's going on with Bumper?"

Beca sighed knowing that if she told Chloe the truth she'd want to come along. "There's an emergency he needs me for, I'll be back." Beca said as she started grabbing some clothes to put on.

"Tell me what's really going on, who are you meeting up with?"

Beca sighed. "A guy named PJ has Bumper and he wants his money, I'm just gonna go there give them the money and get Bumper out of there."

Chloe shook her head and grabbed Beca's arm. "I won't let you go, I've seen way too many movies.."

Beca smiled. "Well then I'm the star of the movie who makes it out."

"I can't take that risk Beca."

Beca sighed. "I have to do this..."

Chloe stood up. "Fine but I'm coming with you."

"No you're not."

Chloe folded her arms and looked at Beca. "Yes I am."

Beca looked Chloe in her eyes. "NO. you. are. not!"

"Why are we pulling into an alley way?" Chloe asked as Beca stopped the car.

Beca sighed. "Because we're doing something sketchy. "Can you not ask so may questions, I didn't even want you to come here."

"Why not?"

Beca looked at Chloe. "I don't want anything to happen to you and I don't want you knowing this side of me.."

Chloe smiled and grabbed the side of her face. "This isn't you Baby you're helping your friend... I know you went through a lot as child and you did things but that doesn't make me love you any less and I know you'll protect me."

Beca nodded and kissed Chloe. "Thank you for being my rock."

"Always, now let's do this!"

Beca shook her head. "I let you come, but you've gotta stay in the car."

"No way am I letting you go in there alone. We stick together Beca."

Beca sighed. "Fine, but please don't say anything."

Chloe nodded. "I won't."

They got out of the car and walked through the alley way until they saw a building. Beca grabbed onto Chloe as she saw two men appear from the shadows. "What do you want?"

"Uh PJ sent me.."

The men nodded and knocked on the door four times. "You may enter."

Beca nodded and held onto Chloe as they walked inside. "Are you okay?"

"I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared."

Beca stopped walking and looked at Chloe. "I won't let anything happen to you."

"How sweet, where's my money?" A voice asked.

Beca looked around. "Where are you?"

The lights turned on and Beca saw a man standing there with a small smirk. "Hello."

Beca's eyes trailed to Bumper who was lying by his feet. "What happened to him?"

"He's fine, just taking a little nap... Money please?"

Beca sighed and took the bag from around her and held it up. "You'l let us all go right?"

PJ smiled. "Why wouldn't I?"

"I've been through something like this with Bumper when I was younger, except he was on this side with me and we were saving someone else."

"And what happened?"

Beca shrugged. "They did some things and tried to kill us but here we are..."

PJ nodded. "Well don't worry I'm a man of my word." He kicked Bumper in the face. "Wake up!"

Bumper woke up with a groan and held his nose. "Dude she'll be here I promis- Oh Beca!"

PJ grinned. "Beca..."

Beca sighed. "Bumper lovely to see you." She said sarcastically, she looked at PJ. "Can we do this exchange?"

"Money first, then Bumper is all yours..."

Beca scoffed. "No way, you have your people all over so there's no way I'd get away with taking the money. You give me Bumper and the money is all yours..."

PJ smiled. "I like you Beca.. Maybe we could do some work togeth-"

"Not gonna happen I left that life when I was younger and I really can't get back into it, nor do I want to."

PJ nodded. "Is it because of that gorgeous redhead behind you?"

Beca frowned. "It's not any of your business, can we please just go?"

"Okay. Get up Bumper."

Bumper nodded and slowly made his way to Beca. "Thanks for this Bec."

Beca rolled her eyes and dropped the bag on the floor. "Your money is in the bag, feel free to check it." Beca said as she opened the bag.

PJ walked over to them and counted the money. "Bumper your debt has been paid... for now."

"Thank you!"

PJ nodded and looked at Beca with a smirk. "Maybe I'll be seeing you around.."

"Don't count on it." Beca before walking back to the door with Chloe. She sighed when she realized Bumper wasn't walking with her. "Dude come on!"

Bumper's eyes widened and he ran to Beca. "Right, sorry."

They walked up to the car and Beca angrily pushed Bumper up against it. "What the hell man! I can't believe that just fucking happened!"

"I-I'm sorry Beca, I was just walking and a car pulled up and grabbed me.."

Beca sighed and let go of him. "Just get in the car man."

Chloe watched with wide eyes and looked at Beca as Bumper got in the car. "Where are you gonna take him?"

Beca sighed. "I don't know... Hopefully he has a place to stay. Chloe I'm sorry I just lost my temper with him."

"I get it Beca, let's just get out of here." Chloe said with a small smile.

Beca nodded and opened the car door for Chloe. "After you."

Chloe smiled. "Thank you."

Beca got in the car and looked at Bumper through the rear view mirror. "Do you have a place to go?"

"I do, thanks again for saving me Beca." Bumper said genuinely.

Beca nodded. "Consider my debt to you paid."

Bumper laughed. "Paid and then some, I definitely owe you now."

"Where we headed Bump?" Beca asked with a small smile.

Bumper grinned. "Do you remember the old apartment?"

"Woah." Beca said with a small smile as she walked into Bumper's apartment. "It's exactly how I remember it." Beca looked at Chloe. "This is where I stayed for awhile when I was fourteen."

Chloe looked at the little apartment and then at Bumper. "Thank you for taking care of Beca during that time."

Bumper smiled and pulled Beca into a side hug. "It was no problem, this is my little sis. Thank you for taking care of her now."

Chloe grinned. "I love her."

Bumper nodded. "Thank you guys for coming to my rescue and I apologize if I ruined your day."

Beca shrugged. "Yeah you kinda interrupted us, I mean my head was about to be between her legs but no big deal."

Chloe's eyes widened and she gasped. "Beca!"

Bumper smirked and gave Beca a fist pound. "Still banging all the girls Bec."

Beca laughed. "Not all the girls, just this one... She's special."

Chloe smiled. "I love you."

Beca nodded. "And I love you."

Bumper grinned and pushed Beca to Chloe. "Go kiss your girl."

"With pleasure." Beca said as she leaned in and kissed Chloe.

Bumper laughed. "Do you guys wanna stay for a bit or are you gonna head out?"

Chloe smiled. "We can stay if you want to Beca."

Beca nodded. "Let's stay for a bit, we can order in and hang out."

Bumper smiled. "Great!"

"Two weeks after we met I was letting her stay with me and one night I just heard her start screaming." Bumper said with a laugh. "It was like three in the morning and she was screaming so I ran out of my room and started calling for her. Then I heard her yelling my name angrily so I ran to where she was, which was the bathroom." Bumper said with a giggle.

Beca groaned. "Why are you telling this story?"

Chloe laughed and rubbed Beca's shoulder before looking at Bumper. "Continue."

Bumper nodded. "Anyway, I get to the bathroom and I lie to you not, her whole ass was inside of the toilet like she fell so deep." Bumper said as he started cracking up.

Chloe's eyes widened and she fell back on the couch with a laugh. "Oh my god! Baby how did that happen?"

"It was dark and he left the toilet seat up."

Bumper shrugged. "Sorry." He started laughing again and looked and Chloe. "Then she started holding out her arms and was like 'help me dude' once I started pulling her up she started yelling 'close your eyes! close your eyes!" Bumper said laughing at the memory. "It was fucking hilarious."

Beca sighed. "That was a traumatic moment for me.."

Bumper nodded. "I'm sure it was, when I finally got her up she slapped me so hard... Let's just say the toilet seat was never left up again."

Chloe laughed. "I think I like you Bumper."

"Why wouldn't you?" He asked with a smile.

Chloe shrugged. "Our first meeting wasn't the best and Jess told me bad things about you but the more Beca talks about you and the more I get to know you and all the things you did for Beca, I think you're a cool guy."

Bumper nodded. "Thanks, I've done bad things but I've always made sure Beca was safe."

Beca nodded in agreement. "Had my back from day one."

"I uh stopped by that store the incident happened in..." Bumper said.

Beca's eyes widened as she waited for Bumper to continue.

"He freaked out at first but once I got him to calm down we had a nice talk."

Beca nodded. "I-I've been too afraid to go back there, how was he?"

"He's paralyzed but he's handling it well, he said it was hard at first to get back to work but he learned you just gotta live day by day and not in fear. He said he forgives us Bec and he understands, we were young and stupid..."

Beca sighed. "I hope jail wasn't too tough for you..."

Bumper smiled. "I was fine after the first two weeks."

"I'm sorry."

Bumper shook his head. "It wasn't your fault, I wanted to rob that store and I gave you the gun."

Chloe rubbed Beca's back. "I think maybe you should make a trip down there too, maybe it'll give you some closure. I can go with you if you want me too."

Bumper nodded. "I will too, talking to him will make you feel better you don't need to keep carrying this guilt."

Beca sighed. "I'm scared."

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand and smiled at her. "We'll be there with you along the way."

Beca nodded. "Okay."

Beca and Chloe walked back into their hotel room later in the night and Beca fell onto the bed with a groan. "This day took an unexpected turn."

Chloe nodded and straddled the back of Beca's thighs as she started to massage her back. "I think you handled everything perfectly."

Beca smiled as Chloe lifted her shirt and continued to massage her back. "Thank you."

"For what?"

Beca turned over and looked Chloe in eyes. "For being you."

Chloe smiled and leaned down to kiss Beca. "You don't have to thank me for that.."

"I do, you don't judge me and you love me for me. Not to mention you came with me tonight, you're so brave and you care for me."

Chloe nodded. "Well I love you so..."

Beca smiled and pulled Chloe down to her. "I love you too." She kissed her gently and grinned. "You are literally the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Chloe grinned. "I was thinking the same thing. How about you and I go take a shower and enjoy the rest of our night..."

Beca lift Chloe's shirt up and kissed her stomach. "Sounds like a good idea to me."

Chloe woke up the next morning to the sound of her phone ringing. She reached for it and answered it with a yawn. "Hello?"

"Good morning Chloe."

"Dad?"

"Yeah why do you sound surprised?"

Chloe yawned again as she looked at the time. "Sorry, I didn't look at who was calling I just answered... What's up dad?"

"What are you up to?"

"I just woke up actually... Why? Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine I just wanted to apologize to you."

Chloe frowned in confusion. "Apolog-?"

"Mm baby who are you talking to?" Beca asked as she rolled over and faced Chloe.

Chloe's eyes widened and she put her hand over Beca's mouth as she sat there in silence hoping her dad didn't hear. "What are you apologizing fo-"

"Who was that?"

"N-No one daddy."

"That sounded a lot like Beca."

Chloe looked at Beca with wide eyes. "He heard you!" Chloe mouthed.

Beca sat up with wide eyes. "Sorry." She mouthed back.

"Dad-"

"Beca's with you?"

Chloe sighed. "Maybe.."

"Chloe Diane Beale tell me the truth!"

"I'm sorry daddy, Beca is with me..."

Richard sighed. "You said you were just waking up... Does that mean you guys slept in the same bed?"

"Y-Yes.."

"Did you... sleep together?"

Chloe's eyes widened. "Dad can we not talk about that.. You told Beca that she could start seeing me again."

"I said she could start seeing you after your mother and I return."

"What's the harm in seeing each other a couple days before that?"

Richard sighed. "There are things that need to be discussed and rules that have to be made."

"Daddy I get what we did was wrong, we both do and that'll never happen again. I just need you to trust me I'm seventeen and I'll be eighteen soon, Beca too. We love each other and honestly that will never happen again. We can't not be together it feels impossible."

The line was quiet for a minute before Richard spoke again. "I want to speak with Beca."

Chloe put the phone on loudspeaker and looked at Beca. "She's here."

"Beca?"

"Y-Yes Mr. Beale?"

"I thought we agreed that you could see Chloe when I returned..."

Beca nodded. "I honestly have nothing to say... You told me to wait but instead I spent the day with your daughter..."

"How'd you even get Chloe past her grandmother."

Chloe smiled. "Grandma actually approves now daddy."

"What?"

"Yeah Mr. Beale we had a good talk and came to an understanding and well we're on good terms now."

"...Oh... We'll talk again when Laura and I get back.."

"So you're okay with me seeing Chloe?"

Richard sighed. "What can I do about it all the way from over here?"

Beca smiled. "I promise I won't do anything disrespectful to your daughter. That whole school thing will never ever happen again."

"Thank you Beca.. I love you Chloe and I'll talk to the both of you in a few days." He hung up and Beca and Chloe looked at each other with huge smiles.

Chloe kissed Beca. "Babe we're free!"

Beca nodded and stretched. "We are on the path to having your father fully accept our relationship again..." She grabbed Chloe's hands and looked her in the eyes. "When your parents get back I wanna take all of you on a date. I want them to see how much I love you and I want us all to have a peaceful talk, hopefully being somewhere public will keep everything calm."

Chloe smiled. "That's sounds like a brilliant idea my love."

Beca looked at the time. "We've got this room for three more hours."

Chloe bit her lip and started playing with the hem of her shirt. "Well maybe we should make use of the time we have left."

"We hope you enjoyed your stay." The man at the desk said as Beca and Chloe checked out.

Chloe smiled. "We definitely did, this hotel is absolutely beautiful."

Beca nodded. "We just might be coming back one day."

The man nodded and smiled. "I'm glad you ladies enjoyed your stay."

Beca smiled. "Yeah,have a nice day." She grabbed their bags and walked out the hotel with Chloe.

"Can we go to your house and hang there for while before you take me home?"

Beca nodded. "Of course." They pulled up to Beca's house an hour later and Beca smiled. "Let's head in."

"Aunt Janine?" Chloe yelled as she walked in the house.

Michelle walked to them with a smile. "She and dad are driving around the city. What are you guys up to?"

Beca held up her bags. "Our mini vacation is over."

Michelle nodded and looked at Beca with a smirk. "I see you guys enjoyed the trip." She said as she gestured to her neck.

Chloe looked at Beca's neck and her eyes widened. "Shit! I didn't even realize."

Beca looked in the mirror and laughed seeing the red marks on her. "I think it's pretty cool, but I hope they'll be faded in a couple days before your parents come back."

Michelle laughed. "Should I leave so you guys can enjoy some more alone time?"

Chloe shook her head. "We've had plenty of that, come chill with us."

"Yeah and even if we did want some more alone time, you wouldn't have to leave. This house is big enough you wouldn't even hear, although Chloe can get really loud." Beca said with a smirk.

Chloe shook her head and playfully slapped Beca. "Shut up."

Beca laughed. "I'll be back, I'm gonna go put my bag upstairs."

Michelle watched Beca walk away with a smile. "You look really happy Chlo."

Chloe nodded and smiled. "I am, Beca's amazing and we talked to my dad and things might be looking up now."

"That's great, if only we could get Gram to be more accepting.."

Chloe grinned. "We already did! That's the only way I was able to go on this getaway with Beca. There was yelling and tears but in the end grandma came through."

Michelle smiled. "Well there should be a fricking celebration!"

Chloe laughed. "Beca and I celebrated plenty." Chloe said with a wink.

Michelle grinned. "I'm glad you're happy Chlo and I'm glad you've accepted your love for Beca, you seem a lot happier than you did back in New York."

Chloe nodded and smiled. "Honestly I am, I mean I was happy in New York but moving here was great for me... I met the love of my life."

"You're so cute when you're in love."

Beca walked in the room with a smile. "She really is."
