"Hello Beca." John said as he stood in the doorway.

Beca moved out of the way and gestured for him to come in. "Thanks for coming.."

John walked in and nodded. "Of course, I was surprised when Katherine told me you wanted me to."

Beca nodded and closed the door. "Before we get into the conversation..." Beca punched him in the face.

"What the hell!" John yelled as he held his face.

Chloe looked with wide eyes. "Beca!"

Beca shrugged. "I was suppose to kick your ass if I ever saw you again, but when I did I was in a wheelchair.. you're lucky I only punched you."

John looked at Beca with a frown but nodded. "You're right, I deserve it."

Beca laughed and folded her arms. "You have no idea dude, you probably don't remember half of the things you put me through.. I don't even want to remember it."

John sighed. "I remember making you do things Beca."

Beca shook her head. "I know what you remember, but I remember the things you were too high to remember."

"I'm sorry Beca.."

Beca nodded and started walking. "I'm sure you are."

John sighed and looked at Chloe. "Is she gonna punch me again?"

Chloe shrugged. "I don't know, I didn't even know she was gonna do that."

John nodded and went in the direction Beca went. "Beca you're right I did do a lot of bad things and I made you do bad things.. Things I don't remember and things I'm not proud of and I'm so sorry for that."

Beca sighed and nodded. "I accept your apology but I don't forgive you and I never will.. The only reason I have you here is because Riley needs more people in her life, she's missing her family and I don't know if you'll be able to help but I figured I could try..."

"What do you mean? Have you been in contact with Riley?"

Beca nodded. "Riley has been with me the whole time.."

John frowned. "W-What?"

"There was no way I was gonna let someone take Riley so I've been taking care of her myself ever since grandma died. My friends and Chloe's parents have helped a lot these past few months too."

John looked at Beca with wide eyes. "Is she here now?"

Beca nodded. "Yes, but before I let her meet you I want to set some rules."

John scoffed. "I'm you guys' father, I don't need to listen to your rules."

Beca folded her arms and looked at him. "In my home you will listen to my rules. You are John, you don't deserve the title of being our father... You will be Mr. John to her for now until I am comfortable and sure that you will be good for her and be in her life, then I will tell her who you really are. You're not allowed to go anywhere with her without me."

John rolled his eyes. "Seriously..."

"I'm dead serious John I don't need any added drama into our lives.. Riley has diabetes just so you know so no bringing her shit loads of candy."

"When did you guys find that out?"

Beca let out a breath. "Luckily it was while grandma was still alive. It was a little after mom died actually.. I ran away from the hospital and I was looking for you and I was in the streets for a bit before Jess found me and took me home and they told me Riley was in the hospital."

"I'm glad.. I'm sorry you lost your way for a bit, but at least it wasn't for a long time and you didn't in too much trouble."

Beca shrugged. "I guess if you can call being gone for months and dealing with bad people and nearly killing someone not too much trouble."

John's eyes widened. "What?"

Beca shrugged. "It doesn't matter, I've moved past it mostly... RILEY!" She called. She looked at John. "Don't fuck this up."

Riley came down the steps with a small smile and looked at Beca. "Is everything okay?"

Beca nodded. "I just wanted to introduce you to someone.. This is Mr. John, he's an old family friend..."

Riley looked at him and smiled. "Nice to meet you sir." She squinted her eyes as she looked at him. "My gram has pictures of you, well she use to... She put them in a box and put them in the basement before she died."

John nodded and had tears in his eyes. "I haven't seen you since you were two... You're so beautiful." He said before looking back at Beca. "Both of you."

Riley grinned. "Thank you Mr. John."

"So what do you like to do?"

Riley smiled. "I like reading, and coloring, and watching TV, and writing, and making music with Beca.. I love when Beca sings to me."

John nodded and smiled. "You sound like a smart little girl."

Riley nodded. "Beca says I get my smartness from my mom, and Beca takes good care of me and makes sure I read so now I enjoy it the most."

John smiled. "Melissa was very smart and I'm glad you've had your sister through all of this."

"You knew my mom?" Riley asked as she looked at John.

John nodded. "I loved your mom very much, she was very special to me but I made some mistakes and I lost her..." John said as tears welled in his eyes.

"Are you sad that she wanted to keep swimming?" Riley asked as she grabbed John's hand.

John frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Beca said my mommy is gone because she went swimming and didn't want to stop so she kept swimming." Riley said with a small smile. "I wish she would stop swimming so I could see her but I understand, swimming is fun."

John looked at Beca as tears rolled down his face. "I wish I could've been there to ask her to stop swimming..." He looked at Riley again. "I uh I should have been in your life and I'm sorry I haven't but I promise I'll be here more."

"Why should have been in my life?"

John sighed. "I'm suppose to be your friend.."

Riley smiled. "It's fine, you're here now." She said as she rubbed his shoulder.

Beca let out a sigh of relief as she closed the door. "So that went better than I expected.."

Chloe smiled. "What did you expect?"

"Tears, fists, and maybe the police..." Beca said.

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand with a smile. "Well I'm glad it didn't turn out that way."

Beca nodded. "Me too, Riley seems to like him."

"Yeah, I got worried for a minute when she recognized him from the pictures."

Beca's eyes widened and she nodded. "So did I."

Riley walked over to them with a smile. "He was nice."

Beca nodded. "Did you like him?"

Riley nodded. "Yeah he's funny."

Beca smiled and nodded. "Cool, um let's go in the kitchen and get ready to eat dinner."

Riley skipped off to the kitchen and Chloe looked at Beca with a smile. "I'm proud of you for doing this for her."

"Me too." Beca said with a smile before walking to the kitchen with Chloe.

As they sat at the table eating dinner Riley looked at Beca. "Did Mr. John date mommy?"

Beca nearly choked on her food. "W-Why would you ask that?"

Riley shrugged. "It seemed like he cared about her a lot.."

Beca nodded and took a sip of her drink. "Uh he did, a very long time ago..."

"Okay." Riley said before finishing up her food.

Chloe looked at the time and sighed. "I've gotta head home, I promised my mom I would."

Beca nodded. "Thanks for being here during... this."

Chloe smiled and grabbed Beca's hand. "I'll always be here for you." She picked up her plate and washed it before kissing Riley on the forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Riley smiled and nodded. "Bye Chloe."

"I'll be right back." Beca said as she stood up and followed Chloe to the door. "Here." She said as she handed Chloe her car keys.

Chloe looked at the keys and shook her head. "I can just use uber, it's three minutes away..."

Beca smiled and put the keys in Chloe's hand. "You don't have to, drive safely and Ry and I will see you in the morning."

Chloe nodded and kissed Beca. "Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." Beca said with a smile.

Chloe grinned. "I'll see you in the morning."

Beca nodded. "Have a good night babe."

"You too." Chloe said before getting into Beca's car and driving off.

Beca walked back into the house and looked at Riley with a small smile. "Okay, let's get your bath ready."

Riley nodded and stood up. "You gave Chloe your car?"

"I let her use it tonight, she's gonna pick us up in the morning and give me the car back." Beca said as they walked up the steps."

Riley smiled. "I hope you and Chloe stay together forever."

Beca looked at Riley and smiled. "So do I kid." She walked into the bathroom and turned the water on. "How would you feel about seeing Mr. John again?"

Riley shrugged and watched as Beca put bubbles in the bath. "I liked him but you looked uncomfortable so if you don't like him I don't have to see him..."

"I uh, I just was nervous about him meeting you after all these years... But if you want to see him again we can."

Riley nodded. "That'd be nice I guess."

Beca let out a small sigh and nodded. "Okay, I'll talk to him and see when he's available."

Chloe walked into her house and smiled seeing Caleb sitting at the table coloring. "Hey Cal what're you still doing up?"

Caleb shrugged. "I'm just coloring.. daddy's mad because you didn't come home."

Chloe sighed and hugged Caleb before making her way to her parents room. "Mom... Dad?"

Their bedroom door opened and Laura looked at her with a small smile. "Hey Chlo."

"Is everything okay?" Chloe asked.

Laura sighed. "Richard.."

Chloe nodded. "Can I talk to him?" Chloe asked as she gestured to the room door.

"Maybe you can get through to him." Laura said as she moved out of the way.

Chloe nodded and walked in the room, closing the door behind her. "Dad..."

Richard looked up at her with a small frown. "Have fun having sex with Beca?"

Chloe sighed. "We didn't have sex, she's been going through some things so I was just helping her with it."

"I don't like you being alone with her.."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "We're never actually alone and we're teenagers dad.. We love each other and we have hormones.. I can't help it."

Richard folded his arms and looked at Chloe. "You're not really helping..."

Chloe sighed and sat next to him. "I'm a young adult dad."

Richard nodded and looked over at Chloe with a sigh. "I'm just having a hard time accepting that you're growing up..."

Chloe grabbed Richard's hand. "I get it, but doing what you're doing isn't helping anybody.. All it's doing is pushing me away and making everyone miserable, you love Beca."

"I do." Richard said with a sigh. "She's a great girl and I love how she takes care of you but I'm just having a hard time getting past what she did to you in the bathroom."

"I told you that was me dad, I took her to the bathroom and we did it together.. I initiated it."

Richard nodded. "Okay... I'm sorry Chloe."

"It's okay dad I just wish you'd give Beca a chance again and everything can go back to normal."

Richard looked at Chloe and nodded. "It can, I was being immature and I was wrong. You guys have served your punishment long enough, even though you were seeing each other behind my back."

Chloe nodded. "I'm sorry about that, but I love her.."

"You think you can ask Beca to come over tomorrow so I can apologize to her?"

Chloe smiled and nodded. "I will and she'll be thrilled... Well she'll be terrified but thrilled." Chloe said with a laugh.

"Beca do you have any plans after school?" Chloe asked as they walked to their lockers the next morning.

Beca nodded. "I do actually, why?"

Chloe smiled. "I talked to my dad last night and he apologized and said he wanted to talk to you so he could apologize to you..."

Beca's eyes widened. "Seriously?"

Chloe nodded. "Seriously, so what are you doing after school?"

Beca sighed. "I'm going to that store..."

"Oh.." Chloe said, she grabbed Beca's hand. "How're you feeling about that?"

Beca shrugged. "Nervous as hell.. I talked to Bumper, he'll be coming with me... Are you?"

Chloe nodded. "Of course, I told you I would."

Beca gave Chloe a small smile and nodded. "Okay so after school we'll go to the store so I can talk to him and then we'll stop at your house so I can talk to your dad."

"Okay, have you spoken to your dad today?"

Beca rolled her eyes. "No I have not spoken to John today."

Chloe nodded. "Well maybe you can call him and he can watch Riley while we do all of this.."

Beca frowned and looked at Chloe. "I'm not comfortable with that and Ry is going to one her friends after school today... Can we stop talking about John please?"

"Okay." Chloe said with a small sigh. The bell rang and Chloe hugged Beca. "I'll see you later okay?"

Beca nodded. "Enjoy your day babe I'll see you at lunch."

Beca walked out of the school with a sigh and stood by her car. "You ready to go?"

Beca's eyes widened seeing Bumper walk to her. "What're you doing here?"

Bumper shrugged. "I figured I'd just come here so we can drive there together.."

Beca nodded. "I'm waiting on Chloe."

"Cool I-"

"Beca is everything okay?" Principal Evans asked as he approached her.

Beca nodded. "Yeah I'm waiting for Chloe to come out."

He looked at Bumper. "Mr. Allen..."

Bumper folded his arms. "Principal Evans.."

Beca looked at them with a small frown. "You two know each other?"

Bumper nodded. "I use to go to this school."

"He wasn't really the best student, what're you doing hanging with him?"

Beca shrugged. "He's a friend of mine and he took care of me when I was going through a rough patch in my life."

Principal Evans nodded. "That's nice but now I think it'd be better if you stayed away."

Bumper frowned. "You have no right! Beca and I are like family and I'm bettering my life."

"I am family." Principal Evans said angrily.

Bumper looked at Beca. "What?"

Beca sighed. "I just found out that he's my uncle.." She looked at him. "Look, you may be family but that doesn't mean you have the right to tell me who I can and can't talk to. Bumper has been there for me when you haven't and I'll talk to him when I want."

Principal Evans nodded. "You're right, I'm sorry.." He looked at Bumper. "How have you been Bumper?"

"I've been okay.. I'm working now thanks to this one." He said gesturing to Beca. "How have you been Mike?"

"I'm good."

Beca awkwardly cleared her through. "It was nice chatting Uncle Mike but here comes Chloe so I'll be seeing you."

"I wanted to see when we could have our talk..."

Beca sighed. "I've got some things to do today but I'm free tomorrow after school okay?"

He nodded. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright."

Chloe walked over to them with a smile. "Good afternoon Principal Evans."

"Hello Chloe, enjoy the rest of your day." He said with a smile before walking off.

Chloe looked at Beca and Bumper with a small smile. "We ready?"

Beca took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah.."

Bumper rubbed Beca's shoulders. "It'll be alright Bec."

They pulled up to the store thirty minutes later and Beca's eyes widened. She hadn't seen the store since the accident. "I-I don't know if I can do this..."

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand. "I believe in you babe you can do this."

Bumper smiled and nodded. "We'll be with you along the way Beca, you've got this."

Beca took a deep breath and looked at the store again. "I'm scared..."

"I know how it is Beca I went there remember, but I promise you'll feel much better afterwards."

Beca sighed. "But you didn't shoot him Bumper... You aren't the reason he can't walk.."

Bumper nodded. "You're right I didn't, but you know what I did do? I made you walk into that store with me and I gave you that gun."

"That still doesn't amount to what I did."

Chloe opened the door and got out of the car. "I'm gonna go in.."

Beca's eyes widened. "What?"

"You don't have to go in but I am."

Bumper nodded and opened his door. "Me too."

They started walking towards the store when Beca sighed and opened her door. "Wait up guys!" She slowly walked over to them and took a deep breath. "I'm ready."

Chloe gave Beca a small smile and squeezed her hand. "You can do this Beca."

Beca nodded. "I can do this." They walked into the store and Beca saw him sitting in his wheelchair reading a magazine.

He looked up hearing the bell on the door ring and his eyes widened. "Y-You..."

Beca slowly walked to him with tears in her eyes. "My name is Beca Mitchell and I'm the girl that shot you almost four years ago..."
