Beca sat nervously in her car as she waited for Chloe and her parents to come out of the house. The week had gone by faster than she would have liked and Chloe had already told her parents that Beca wanted to take them out for dinner. "You can do this." She said to herself repeatedly.
Chloe came out of the house and got in the car sitting next to Beca. "They'll be out in a minute." She said before leaning over to kiss her.
Beca quickly blocked the kiss and looked at Chloe with wide eyes. "What're you doing?"
"Kissing my girlfriend to say hello." Chloe said with a small frown. "What is wrong with you?"
Beca sighed. "We can't do all that with your parents around, especially your dad..."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "My parents know we kiss hell they know we have sex, don't worry about that." Chloe said as she started to lean in again.
Beca's eyes widened as she saw Chloe's parents walking out of the house. "No!" She got out of the car and opened Chloe's door. "Let one of your parents sit here!"
"What!" Chloe said with wide eyes. "Beca.."
Beca turned to Chloe's parents with a smile. "Mr and Mrs Beale you both look lovely and really relaxed I hope you guys enjoyed the trip."
Laura smiled. "We definitely did, thanks again for the trip."
Richard nodded. "It was lovely, nice to get away..."
Beca nodded and cleared her throat. "Okay let's get out of here then shall we?" Beca said as she clapped her hands together. She looked at Chloe. "Babe?"
Chloe rolled her eyes and started getting out of the seat. "You're ridiculous."
Laura laughed. "It's fine sweetheart. Richard and I are fine with sitting in the back, stay put Chloe."
Chloe stuck her tongue out at Beca and got back in the car.
Beca sighed and opened the door for Laura and Richard. "Here you go."
They got back in the car and Chloe got out the car and looked at her parents. "Excuse us for a minute." Chloe said as she dragged Beca inside of her house.
"What are you doing?"
Chloe closed the door and looked at Beca. "You need to calm down, you're not being yourself and that's the worse thing you can do if you want to impress my parents which you don't need to do, they already know and love you."
"Your parents hate me Chloe. I did dirty things to you in public and they don't like that." Beca said with a sigh.
Chloe shook her head. "They don't hate you, they're just disappointed... in both of us."
Beca nodded. "I need to get back in their good graces."
"Acting the way you are isn't gonna do it. My parents know we're affectionate and that we like to kiss, they've seen it before don't act fake around them..."
Beca sighed and nodded. "You're right I'm just freaking out."
"What can I do to help?"
Beca grabbed Chloe by the hips and looked at her with a smile. "Maybe a kiss?"
Chloe grinned and leaned in to kiss Beca. "Better?"
"Much better." Beca said with a smirk. "We sound like a fucking snickers commercial."
Chloe laughed. "We do, now let's get back out there and show them how much we really love each other."
Beca nodded. "Thank you."
"No problem." Chloe said as she opened the front door. "Let's enjoy tonight."
"You guys are free to order whatever you want to eat and drink." Beca said as she pulled out Chloe's chair.
Chloe smiled. "Thanks babe." She gave Beca a quick kiss on the lips before sliding in her chair.
"Anything?" Laura said as she sat down.
Beca nodded. "There is no price range."
Richard sat down and looked at Beca. "Don't you think you should be saving your money and putting it to better use?"
"I am, I have more money than I know what to do with and I'm starting a job next Wednesday so I can start making my own money."
Laura nodded. "What kind of job is it?"
Richard smirked. "It's probably some cheap job at a-"
"It's at a radio station, residual heat actually."
Richard's eyes widened. "Residual heat? Are you like an intern?"
Beca shook her head with a small smile. "They want me to play some of my music and they think I'll bring in a younger crowd. This will be great for my future career and this could also be a great opportunity for Chloe."
Richard frowned. "What do you mean?"
Chloe smiled. "They told Beca she could have an assistant and she was thinking of having it be me."
Laura grinned. "That'd be great Chloe!"
Richard shook his head. "Chloe doesn't need a job and even if she did she wouldn't be an assistant."
"Dad I want to do it."
Richard shrugged. "I said no."
Beca let out a small sigh. "We should look over the menus before the waiter comes."
Everyone was finishing up their meals when Beca stood up. "I'm gonna go use the restroom before we leave."
Chloe nodded and stood up. "Yeah me too."
Richard shook his head. "I don't think so Chloe."
"You're seriously telling me I can't go to the bathroom?" Chloe asked in disbelief.
Richard shook his head. "I'm telling you that you can't go to the bathroom with Beca, we don't need a repeat of last time."
Laura rolled her eyes. "Richard enough! You've been being obnoxious all night they won't do it again, have faith in your daughter."
"How am I suppose to believe what she says when she's been seeing Beca when we told her not to?" Richard asked angrily.
Laura sighed. "Go to the bathroom girls."
Richard shook his head. "Don't take another step Chloe Beale."
Laura looked at Richard angrily. "Enough! Let's go!"
"Where are we going?"
Laura grabbed Richards arm. "Home! Thank you Beca for dinner it was lovely, I hope to see you again." She said as she pulled Richard out of the restaurant.
Beca watched with a frown and looked at Chloe. "I drove them here..."
Chloe sighed. "I guess they'll call a cab... Do you mind if I stay with you tonight?"
"I don't know if that's a good idea Chloe.."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'll let my mom know, I just don't feel like being there with him and I know how it'll be tonight."
"What about Caleb?"
"My mom dropped him off with my aunt Alice earlier today."
Beca nodded. "Um okay I guess, your aunt, uncle, and cousin are still at the house they leave in the morning."
"Okay." Chloe said with a small smile.
Beca sighed. "I'm sorry Chloe."
"What are you sorry for?"
Beca gestured to the front door where Chloe's parents had walked out. "I'm ruining your family... It's like your dad permanently hates me. He asked to be mature and have a real conversation with me yet he's been being rude and judging me the whole night. How are we gonna work out if your parents hate me?"
Chloe shook her head. "Whatever you're thinking, get it out of your head now. I don't care if my parents like you or not, all that matters is that I love you and I want to be with you."
Beca nodded. "You're right, but I liked it better when your parents loved me."
Chloe sighed and grabbed Beca's hand. "My mom doesn't hate you and believe it not neither does my dad.. He's acting like this because he likes you and he wants to find a reason not to... We should get out of here."
"Yeah." Beca said as she pulled out a wad of cash and left it on the table. "I hope tonight wasn't totally a bust for you."
Chloe shook her head. "I actually enjoyed myself a lot. Anytime I'm with you is a good time babe."
Beca smiled. "The feelings mutual." She said before they walked out of the restaurant.
As Beca drove home, Chloe called her mom to let her know she'd be staying with Beca.
"Hey Chloe." Laura said with a sigh.
Chloe frowned. "Hey is everything okay?"
Laura sighed again. "Your dad is being an ass that's all, it's a little nonsense at home.. Where are you?"
"I figured it would be which is why I was letting you know that I'm just gonna stay at Beca's tonight..."
The line was quiet for minute. "... okay just remember it's a school night Chloe you girls start school again in the morning."
Chloe nodded. "I know I'll probably go straight to sleep tonight anyway, nothing sexual is happening tonight if that's what you're thinking.. Besides Aunt Janine and Uncle Tim are still at Beca's."
"Okay Chloe just make sure you call me tomorrow."
"I'll be home tomorrow after school, I want to have a talk with him once he calms down."
"Alright honey I love you goodnight."
"Love you too mom, goodnight." She hung up and looked at Beca with a small smile. "We're good to go."
Beca nodded. "Okay." She pulled up to her house ten minutes later. "Back to the old grind tomorrow."
"Yeah, but at least we'll be together."
Beca smiled and grabbed Chloe's hand. "That's true." She said as she brought their hands to her lips and kissed them. "We should get inside, I've gotta get Ry ready for bed."
Chloe nodded. "Let's go."
They got out of the car and walked into the house and was immediately ambushed by Riley. "Bec how'd it go with- Chloe!" Riley saw Chloe and wrapped her in a tight hug. "You're here!"
Chloe grinned and hugged her back. "I am, Beca and I are fine."
"Is your dad still mad at my sister?"
Chloe sighed. "Unfortunately he still is, but just a little bit nothing you need to worry about."
Riley nodded. "What did you guys do that made him angry?"
Chloe's eyes widened and she looked at Beca. "We uh-"
"We did something adults do and he didn't like it very much."
Riley nodded. "So he got mad because you're not adults yet?"
Beca smiled and nodded. "Exactly, now enough about that Chloe is here and that's all that matters. You've eaten right?"
"Yeah Aunt Janine fed me."
Chloe smiled at hearing her call Janine her aunt. "Where is she?"
Riley pointed upstairs. "She and Uncle Tim went to pack, she said she wanted to get everything ready before they leave in the morning... I wish they didn't have to go."
Chloe nodded. "I know but I'll make sure you see them and talk to them. I'm just gonna go up and say hello to them." Chloe said as she walked to stairs.
Beca nodded and looked at Riley. "And we should start getting you ready for bed. School starts again you excited?"
"Yeah winter break was fun but I missed my friends." Riley said with a small smile.
Beca nodded and grabbed Riley's hand. "Let's get your bath ready."
Beca walked into her room with a small smile. She had just finished tucking Riley into bed and said goodnight to Chloe's aunt, uncle, and cousin. "Hey you." She said as she sat on the bed.
Chloe looked up at Beca with a smile. "Hey, I was just looking at some pictures of Riley that Jess sent me."
Beca nodded and started taking her clothes off. "Today has been emotionally exhausting."
Chloe put her phone down and moved to sit behind Beca. She kissed her neck and started massaging her shoulders. "I'm sorry about my dad."
"It's not your fault." Beca said with a shrug. She turned around and wrapped her arms around Chloe's waist. "I love you." She said before kissing her softly.
Chloe smiled once they pulled away from the kiss. "I love you too. Everything's gonna be okay babe."
Beca nodded and gently pushed Chloe down on the bed. "I know it will." Beca said before kissing her.
Chloe moaned into the kiss and started lifting Beca's shirt. "I love you so much." She moaned out as Beca trailed kisses down her neck.
Beca bit her lip and pulled away with a sigh. "We need to stop."
Chloe groaned. "I like where we were headed."
Beca nodded. "Me too but you did tell your mom nothing was going to happen tonight and Janine and Tim are a few doors down."
Chloe sighed and pushed Beca off of her. "I guess you're right." She said before turning on her side.
Beca frowned. "Hey don't be mad at me..."
"I'm not."
Beca shook her head. "Chloe..." She said slowly as she wrapped her arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder. "Look at me."
Chloe turned around to face Beca with a sigh. "What?"
Beca cupped her face with her hand and gave her slow; gentle kiss. "Don't be mad at me..."
Chloe nodded and her eyes fluttered closed as Beca connected their lips again. "Why're you so perfect?" Chloe asked when Beca pulled away.
Beca shook her head. "I should be asking you that question, I'm far from perfect but you? The word perfect was written with you in mind."
"I know you don't think much of yourself but you should, you're amazing." Chloe said with a smile.
Beca smiled. "Thank you.." She looked at the time with a sigh. "We should get some sleep."
"Wait before we do I've been meaning to ask you if you ever opened the present Principal Evans gave you."
Beca's eyes widened and she hopped out of the bed. "I totally forgot about it." She walked to her closet and pulled out the box before walking with it to her bed.
Chloe moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. "I wonder why he got you a gift."
"Me too." Beca said as she started pulling at the wrapping paper. She took the wrapping paper off and her eyes widened. "Holy shit..."
Chloe looked at the box and smiled. "Wow..."
"He- He got me brand new deejaying equipment..."
Chloe looked at Beca. "Is this a good version? I don't really know much about this.."
Beca laughed. "This is a great version, this is something akin to what celebrities use." Beca said as she examined the box.
Chloe nodded and her eyes slightly widened. "So that was probably crazy expensive right?"
"Hell yeah it was, the only reason I didn't buy it myself was because I was trying to go easy on my money after everything I did for Christmas."
Chloe frowned. "Why would Principal Evans give you such a pricey gift and how the hell did he know that you liked to DJ?"
Beca sighed. "I don't know... I'm gonna find out tomorrow though, no more shrugging the things he do off I need answers!"
Chloe nodded. "Yeah, it's lowkey creepy."
"It really is... I reaaaally want to open and set up this equipment but I'm going to be a mature; responsible young adult and get some rest."
Chloe smiled. "I'm proud of you." She said with a wink. "You can set it up after school."
Beca clapped her hands together in excitement. "I'm gonna make you an awesome mix, I've got all these ideas flowing through me now!"
Chloe laughed. "Do you need to write it down?"
Beca put the box down and crawled onto the bed with Chloe. "Nah I'll remember, I just wanna cuddle with you right now."
Chloe smiled and kissed Beca before getting comfortable around Beca's arms. "No arguments here.."
Beca woke up the next morning and kissed Chloe on the cheek with a smile before rolling off her bed and onto the floor so she could look at her box. "Hello gorgeous." Beca said with a grin before kissing the box.
Chloe peaked over the edge of the bed and quirked a brow. "I don't know if I should be offended by the fact that you're giving your DJ equipment more attention than me or not.."
Beca laughed and got on her knees to kiss Chloe properly. "I'm sorry babe I just had to make sure it wasn't a dream... But now I'm still stuck on why do I have this."
"I think Principal Evans should be the first stop you make when you walk in school today."
Beca nodded. "Yeah me too... Will you come with me?"
Chloe smiled. "Of course." She got out of bed with a smile. "You go shower and get ready, I wanna make breakfast for everyone. My family leaves today.."
Beca nodded. "It was nice having them here."
"They enjoyed being here, thank you for being so kind to them."
Beca stood up and walked over to Chloe. "It was nice seeing what a genuine family was like." Beca said with a small smile. "I'm gonna go shower." Beca said before walking to the bathroom.
Chloe put her robe on and made her way downstairs where she found her aunt already in the kitchen. "Hey! I was suppose to beat you down here and make everyone breakfast!"
Janine laughed and looked at Chloe. "I'm sorry honey, you can help if you want. Tim and Michelle are still sleep and Riley is getting ready."
Chloe nodded. "Beca's getting ready too."
Janine clapped her hands together. "Well let's get this breakfast done."
Chloe smiled and grabbed a bowl. "Thanks for being so cool about Beca."
"I like Beca and I think she's good for you..."
Chloe looked at aunt with a small smile. "I'm sensing a but coming."
Janine shrugged. "Not really a but, just don't have sex in bathrooms."
Chloe nodded. "Yeah that won't be happening again, not anytime soon."
"I also can tell that she's a rough one and I'm sure things will get tough sometimes but just don't give up."
Chloe started cracking the eggs and looked at Janine. "What do you mean?"
Janine sighed. "Beca's had a rough life and I can tell she's still trying to cope with everything, I saw the same thing with one of my best friends. Sometimes things will get tough but I know you guys will make it, she loves you a lot."
Chloe nodded. "I love her too and I won't let anything from her past mess us up, there have been things that have come up and I've seen her... angry but we always work through it together."
Janine smiled and kissed the top of her head. "I'm proud of you Chlo."
"Thanks." Chloe said with a smile. "I really love her."
"Aw we being sappy this early in the morning?" Michelle asked as she walked into the kitchen with a yawn.
Chloe laughed. "Maybe a little."
Michelle nodded. "I'm gonna miss you guys.. Beca's pretty cool."
"I am aren't I." Beca said with a smirk as she walked in.
Michelle laughed. "You're alright."
Beca smirked and bumped shoulders with Michelle. "Don't switch up on me now."
Chloe smiled at the two before putting the eggs on the stove. "I'm so glad you guys get along."
Michelle nodded. "Abby is gonna love her."
Beca grinned. "You think I'm gonna get the best friend seal of approval?"
"You definitely will." Michelle said with a nod. "Oh! Maybe Abby and I can come down here for spring break!"
Chloe smiled. "That would be awesome."
Beca nodded. "And you guys are free to stay here if that's cool with Janine..."
Janine shrugged. "As long as you girls don't do anything illegal."
Michelle laughed. "Chloe would never let us do anything of the sort."
Janine nodded. "That's true."
Riley came bouncing down the steps with a smile. "Good morning family!"
Beca laughed and kissed Riley on the cheek. "Good morning sis, have a good night sleep?"
Riley nodded. "The best, I wish Aunt Janine, Uncle Tim, and Michelle didn't have to leave though. I had a dream they stayed here forever."
Janine smiled and walked over to Riley. "Don't worry honey bun we'll keep in contact."
Riley smiled. "Okay!"
Janine laughed. "Okay I'm gonna start dishing out plates, Chloe can you wake you Uncle Tim?"
Chloe nodded. "On it." She said as she made her way up the stairs."
Beca let out a sigh as she sat down. "I'm gonna miss having you guys around, I don't know what it is but I just really enjoyed having you guys here..."
Janine smiled and grabbed Beca's hand. "You were able to be a teenager, you had your friend watching Riley for a little and then she came back here and looked after her and you were kind of free to do your own thing with your girlfriend."
Beca nodded. "Yeah... I guess it does make a difference having an adult in your life to help out." She looked over at Riley with a smile. "But I love taking care of her so it's fine."
Riley smiled. "Thank you Beca."
"No problem Ry, eat up we gotta get you to school."
Riley looked at Beca with a pout. "Can't I stay here until they leave?"
Beca shook her head. "They leave in an hour and Chloe and I gotta get to school."
Riley nodded sadly. "Fine.."
Janine gave Riley a small smile. "We'll be around." She gave Riley a hug."Enjoy your day at school."
Riley nodded and hugged Janine before walking to Michelle. "I had fun with you."
Michelle winked at her. "I had fun too kid, I'll be back sooner than you expect."
Riley smiled as Tim came down the stairs. "Are we saying our byes already?"
Beca nodded. "We're about to take Ry to school then we've gotta get to school ourselves."
"Oh, well it was nice to meet you guys and I appreciate you guys letting us stay here." Tim said before giving them both hugs.
Chloe came downstairs with a smile and her bag. "You guys ready?"
Beca nodded. "Yup."
Chloe looked at her family. "It was nice seeing you guys, Michelle hopefully you and Abby will be coming back down here for spring break."
Michelle nodded. "I will for sure, I'll talk with Abby about and you can too."
"I will, text me when you guys make it back home." Chloe said with a smile.
Janine nodded. "We will, have a great day at school you guys."
They walked out of the house with a wave and made their way to school.
"I never realized how much Riley needed and wanted a family..." Beca said as she drove away from Riley's school after dropping her off. "I always thought I was enough and I was giving her what she needed but watching her interact with your family these past few days made me realize she needs more people in her life.."
Chloe nodded in understanding. "I think you're enough for her Beca but I do think she enjoyed having a more... parental figure in her life. I can tell she wants a big family."
Beca sighed and nodded. "I've been thinking about something..." Beca said as she kept her eyes straight on the road.
"What have you been thinking about?"
"I... I think I'm gonna get in touch with my dad... I mean I'm already talking with Katherine about getting Bumper a job so she can tell him I'd like to meet up again and let him meet Riley... That's not crazy is it?" Beca asked with a sigh.
Chloe shook her head. "It's not crazy, I think it's good that you have more people in you and Riley's corner. I don't know if telling her that he's her father is a good idea just yet but meeting is fine I think."
Beca nodded. "Yeah I think so too. I just want her to have a family and I don't know if my dad can give that to her but it could be a start.."
Chloe smiled and grabbed Beca's hand. "I think it's a great start."
Beca pulled up to the school and looked over at Chloe with a sigh. "I hope things don't become one big fuck up."
"I'll be there with you if you want.."
Beca nodded. "I definitely want you there, at least for some of it..."
"Okay, so when are you gonna set this up?"
Beca sighed and shrugged. "Sometime this week, I think I just want to take everything that's been weighing on my mind and handle it. I'm gonna go to that store and talk to the owner, and I'm gonna talk to John."
Chloe smiled. "I'm so proud of you babe."
Beca nodded and let out a small sigh. "Let's go in that hell hole." Beca said as she looked at the school. "First stop Principal Evans."
"Let's do it." Chloe said with a small nod.
They walked into the school and Beca walked with Chloe to her locker. "I'm gonna go talk with Principal Evans, I'll see you at lunch and fill you in okay?"
Chloe nodded as she opened her locker. "See you then babe."
Beca smiled and pecked Chloe on the lips before making her way to the principals office.
"Where's Beca off to?" Aubrey asked as she walked up to Chloe with a smile.
Chloe grinned and hugged Aubrey. "Hey! She went to talk to Principal Evans about something, how are you?"
"I'm good, enjoyed the time off from school.. How about you? Seems like everything is fine between you and Beca now."
Chloe nodded. "We're working though it, my dad still isn't thrilled but he can't keep us apart."
"What's up bitches! Where's my bestie?" Jess asked with a smile as she approached them.
Chloe laughed. "Talking to Principal Evans."
Jess nodded. "Have you two gotten over your shit?"
"Somewhat, Beca sent my parents on a little trip during break so we were able to spend a lot of time together..." Chloe said with a grin.
Aubrey laughed. "Look at your face, I'm sure you two spent a lot of time together."
Jess smiled. "I'm glad, just hop your parents get over it soon."
Chloe nodded. "Me too, I mean it's mainly my dad that's upset about it my mom is fine now." Chloe saw Stacie looking at them and gave her a small smile before waving her over. "Hey Stace."
Stacie gave her a shy smile. "Hey Chloe; hey guys."
Jess and Aubrey both smiled and hugged Stacie. "How was your break?"
"It was pretty good, went skiing with my family... Chloe can we talk?"
Chloe nodded. "Sure uh we ca-" *ding ding* Chloe sighed as the bell rung. "Later."
Stacie nodded and all the girls made their way to the classes.
Beca took a deep breath as she stood outside of Principal Evans office. She opened the door and cleared her throat gaining his attention.
"Beca hey, how can I help you?" He said as looked at her with a small smile.
Beca walked further into his office and sat down. "Why do you treat me the way you do?"
Principal Evans frowned. "Excuse me?"
"I said why do you treat me the way you do? You always seem to have my back, you give me advice, you defend me, you gave me DJ equipment that costs thousands of dollars... why? Why me?"
Principal Evans shrugged. "It doesn't matter Beca.. You're welcome by the way."
Beca frowned. "No! It does fucking matter!"
"I just care about you okay?"
"Do you have like some kind of crush on me because newsflash I like girls and you're way older than me!"
Principal Evans folded his arms and looked at Beca. "Okay first of all I'm not way older than you and second I promise you I don't have a crush, my wife wouldn't enjoy that much." He said with a laugh.
Beca sighed. "Then what is it? Why do you care?"
Principal Evans heard the bell ring and sighed. "Maybe you should get to class.."
Beca shook her head. "Principal Evans please, what are you keeping from me?"
"I'm your uncle okay!"
Beca's eyes widened. "W-What?"
Prinipal Evans sighed. "Your grandmother Martha Evans is my mother..."
"M-My mom had a brother?"
Principal Evans nodded. "I was actually a twin, my twin died in an accident when we were twelve and my mom couldn't look at me anymore so she got rid of me... Once I got older and looked for my sister Melissa, I found out she had gotten married but unfortunately she died... but I saw she had kids, Rebeca and Riley Mitchell... Then you came to this school and I knew it was you."
Beca looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"I didn't want you to think I was just some weird guy or anything and I didn't want to say anything to upset you.."
Beca sighed. "I could have really used some family a few years ago.."
"H-How'd she die? If you can't talk about I understand..."
Beca shook her head. "You deserve to know.." She took a deep breath. "She uh fell asleep at the wheel and we drove off a bridge.."
"We?" He asked with wide tear-filled eyes."
Beca nodded. "My mom, Jess and I.."
"Jess? You mean Jessica Scott?"
Beca nodded. "Yeah, we were in the car with her when it happened. My mom was able to get us out but she couldn't get out herself and we could't get her out... I saw her die..."
"I'm so sorry.."
Beca shrugged. "Yeah me too.."
"Are you okay?"
Beca sighed. "I'm a seventeen year old girl, taking care of an eight year old who has a illness, while I deal with my own personal issues, but yeah I'm fine..."
"Does your father not help?"
Beca let a laugh. "That man has never done anything for us.. He's the reason your sister is dead. He got her into the life of drugs and alcohol and he abandoned all of us."
Principal Evans frowned. "Melissa would never marry someone so terrible."
Beca just shrugged. "The good girl fell for the bad boy, it happens all the time..."
"You're not... doing that stuff are you?"
Beca sighed. "I did some things when I was younger but I got out of it for my sister..."
He nodded. "Do you guys need help? Do you have a place to stay?"
"I'm loaded with cash, my father's mother took great care of Riley and I before she died and she left everything to me.."
He sighed and nodded. "Okay.. I'm Michael Evans your uncle and I'm terribly sorry for the life you were given.. If you'll have me I'd like to be in you and your sisters life."
Beca gave him a small smile. "Okay."
"Could I come by your house and maybe talk with you more and meet Riley?"
"I'm actually thinking about talking with my dad today.."
Michael frowned. "What? I thought you sa-"
"I know, but he's been getting sober for a while and he's trying to come back into our lives.."
Michael nodded. "I get it."
"Well this definitely didn't go the way I expected, Principal Evans is related to me..." Beca said, saying the last part to herself.
"Please just call me Michael, Uncle Michael if you're comfortable enough."
Beca smiled. "Uncle Michael.. I think that'd be okay."
Michael smiled and nodded. "I'm gonna be here for you Beca."
"Beca took my family to this awesome get together on New Years Eve we really enjoyed ourselves." Chloe said with a smile as she talked to Aubrey and Jess.
Aubrey smiled. "How'd your parents feel about going?"
"They weren't back yet, they got back at three in the morning. But it was perfect, celebrating New Year with Beca. My gram came along as well as my aunt, uncle, cousin, Caleb and Riley but they left before midnight.."
"Everything okay?" Chloe asked as she saw Beca approaching her with a small smile.
Beca nodded. "Yeah everyone's ready to leave now so I was coming to let you know."
Chloe pouted. "But it's almost midnight and I wanted to be here for that."
"I know i was just letting you say bye to them, you and I are staying here."
Chloe smiled. "Okay." She went and said goodnight to everyone before making her way back to Beca. "So what do we do now?"
Beca stuck out her hand with a smile. "Dance with me."
Chloe grinned and grabbed Beca's hand as they walked to the dance floor. "Show me your moves Mitchell."
Beca laughed and started dancing to the beat. "I think you know how I move." Beca said with a wink. "We have a half an hour until New Year, let's make the most of the last minutes of this year."
Chloe nodded and pulled Beca closer to her as they danced to the beat.
"Okay hold on, I've known Beca for a very long time and I've never seen her actually dance, is she good?" Aubrey asked with a grin.
Chloe nodded. "She's pretty good."
Jess nodded in agreement. "I've seen her moves and she's got rhythm."
Chloe grinned. "Yeah a lot of rhythm. We danced for what felt like forever."
Chloe let out a deep breath as she tried to catch her breath. "Bec how long have we been dancing?" She breathed out.
Beca looked at her watch. "About twenty minutes, we should get a drink and get ready for the countdown." They made their way to the bar and ordered some drinks. "So what do you want to do after this?"
Chloe took a sip of her drink and smiled at Beca. "I think I just want to go to your house with you and enjoy our time together, you know before my dad comes and who knows how he'll act.."
Beca nodded. "That's fine with me, any time spent with you is a great time."
The music stopped and everyone started cheering and shouting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Beca screamed out as she pulled Chloe to her and kissed her. "Happy New Year Babe."
Chloe grinned and kissed Beca again. "Happy New Year Beca. Here's to the New Year and us being happy together."
Beca nodded and picked up her drink before clinking her glass with Chloe's and taking a sip. "Cheers."
Chloe smiled. "I love you Beca."
"I love you too."
Beca smiled and grabbed Chloe's hand. "Come on, let's go dance some more."
"We danced until two in the morning and everything was perfect.. I'm so in love with her." Chloe said with a grin.
Aubrey squealed. "Aw I'm so happy for you guys, falling in love must be amazing."
Jess laughed. "We already know they love each other, why are you acting all excited."
"There's a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone." Aubrey said. "Being in love is something much deeper, anyone can say they love someone but being in love... that's much more stronger and intimate."
Jess looked at Chloe. "Do you agree?"
Chloe thought about it for a minute before nodding with a grin. "I do, I'm in love with Beca. We spent a lot of time together alone during winter break and I learned more about her and we just connected more and I definitely feel more."
Jess smiled. "Just make sure Beca let's me be her maid of honor."
"Hey!" Aubrey said with a frown.
Chloe laughed. "I'm sure there's still plenty of time before we have to think about that."
"Speaking of the love of your life, there she is.." Aubrey said as she gestured to Beca and Kate who were walking there way."
Beca approached them with a small smile. "Hello beautiful people, how are you guys."
"You'd make me the maid of honor at your wedding right?" Aubrey said.
Beca's eyes widened. "I'm gonna ignore that question and kiss my girlfriend."
Chloe smiled and leaned in to kiss Beca. "I was talking to them about how our New Years Eve celebration went."
"That was a good night." Beca said with a grin. "I actually was talking to Kate about it too, she was out with your Aunt Alice and her dad on New Years Eve."
Kate nodded. "It was a good time, Alice is fun."
Chloe smiled and nodded. "I know, she's the best." She looked at Beca. "So you seem okay, how'd everything go with Principal Evans?"
Beca let out a small sigh. "Well I learned that my grandmother, Martha, who is my mother's mom has the last name Evans and so did my mom before she got married..."
Chloe frowned. "Wait what are you saying.."
"I'm saying Martha Evans gave birth to Melissa and Michael Evans."
Jess gasped. "Principal Evans is your uncle!?"
Beca nodded. "That's what he told me.."
Chloe folded her arms and frowned. "Why have you never heard of him?"
"He had a twin, his twin died and my grandma couldn't take care of him anymore because of the pain of seeing her other son..."
Kate nodded. "So she gave him up?"
Beca sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I just wonder why my mom never talked about him.."
"Well you and your mom never really had moments where you sat down and had conversations..." Aubrey pointed out.
Beca shrugged. "We had our moments.. I wish he would've told me sooner, I thought Riley and I were alone in this but he's here and he has a family.."
Chloe looked at their friends. "Excuse us for a minute." She said before grabbing Beca's hand and walking away. "Are you okay, how are you feeling about this?" Chloe asked once they walked into an empty classroom.
Beca sighed. "Mixed feelings mostly. It's like I'm happy he's been looking out for me and doing small things for me throughout these years that I've gone to this school but another part of me is upset that he knew about Riley and I and did not make his relation to us known.."
Chloe nodded. "Both are valid feelings."
"Yeah, he's gonna come by my house and we're gonna talk some more. After I speak with John.."
Chloe's eyes widened. "You're doing that today?"
Beca nodded. "I want to get all of this out of the way, I want to go to that store tomorrow."
Chloe nodded and grabbed Beca's hand. "I'll be here with you every step of the way."
Beca smiled. "Thank you for being the world's best girlfriend." She said before leaning in to give Chloe a kiss.
"Calm down Babe." Chloe said as she placed her hand on Beca's jiggling leg.
Beca took a deep breath and nodded. She had talked to her dad and he would be coming any minute. "I'm just freaking out a bit.. Uh w-where's Riley?"
Chloe rubbed Beca's back. "She's in her room playing remember?"
Beca nodded. "Y-Yeah, am I making a big deal out of nothing?"
"No, this is a big deal you're going to attempt to have a relationship with your father, this is major and I'm proud of you."
Beca nodded and let out a sigh. "I hope this doesn't go to shit."
"Me too babe.
Beca's breath hitched as she heard the doorbell ring. "Fuck, I don't think I can do this Chloe."
Chloe stood up and grabbed Beca's hands, making her stand up with her. "You can do it babe I know you can." Chloe leaned in and kissed her before giving her a small nod.
Beca stood up straight and nodded. "Okay.." She walked to the door and opened it. "John." She said firmly.
"Hello Beca."
