Chapter 3 : Mother and Daughter
Hello! First of all I would like to thank everyone for following this story of mine though I got the idea from the movie THE GAMEPLAN; I changed the whole story so it's a lot different from the movie. As you can see, I'm establishing a mother and daughter relationship on the first two chapters of the story but as the story moves on, our BECHLOE moments will happen so please be patient. Oh and also I'll explain how Bailey becomes Beca's daughter in the future chapters. Again thank you and please enjoy this one.
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON
2:30 PM
Beca went to bed after her friends left her and her daughter. She told the little girl that she wants to sleep for a while because she's having a terrible headache which is true. The brunette wants to rest her head to keep it from over thinking and maybe when she wakes up, her mind will cooperate on what she'll do with her daughter.
Bailey on the other hand is busy watching TV in the living room for the past two and a half hours but she gets bored so she took her backpack and takes out all the contents and places it on the sofa.
Hmm I don't think my clothes will last while I'm here.
She looks at the five pairs of underwear, three dresses, four pants, a pair of socks and four blouses. How did she manage to put it all inside her bag, well with the help of her two Aunties of course.
"That reminds me, I need to send a text to my mother then call Aunt Stacie and Aunt Emily then wake up my mother and ask her if she can buy me clothes." She sits on the couch and fish out her phone once more.
She sent a text from her mother saying that she'll call her later and after that, she dials her Aunt Emily's number. After three rings, Bailey smiles when she hears Emily's voice.
"Hey Aunt Em!" she says "Hey love, how's everything back there?" she asks.
"Hmm it's okay though my mother is denying she has a daughter." Bailey hears Emily chuckles "Do you want me to go there and explain her everything?"
"No, it's fine. I mean, she's still in shock state and her brain is still processing what's happening so let's give her time."
The thing is, Emily and Stacie didn't know what Bailey said to Beca. The brunette only knows that Chloe drops off her daughter to spend summer with her without even saying hi or hello. Her mother Chloe knows that she's going to spend her vacation in a summer camp while Stacie and Emily knows that they are the ones who brought her there to meet and talk with her and they doesn't have an idea that Bailey changes her story, though they both know that Bailey told Chloe that she'll go on a summer camp.
"Okay kiddo. So what it feels like to have a very popular mother huh?" Bailey smiles and looks at the door of her mother's room "It's cool actually especially if you see her awards, I'm very proud of her. Well it doesn't matter if she's popular or not."
"Where is she by the way?"
"Oh she's sleeping. She said she needs to rest for a while."
"Oh okay but have you eaten your lunch?" and with mentioning of that word, Bailey hears her stomach growling "No I haven't, now that you mention it, I need to wake up the little baby." Emily laughs once more as she said good bye to her niece.
Bailey knocks on the door first before opening it and saw her mother still sleeping. She climbs the bed and kneels beside her. She rocks her body slowly in attempt to wake her up but it's no use.
"Mom you need to wake up." And repeat what she did before "Mom."
"Go away!" Beca answers and covers her face with a pillow "Come on, I'm hungry. It's already past 2 pm and I haven't eaten anything other than cereal and a sandwich."
"Then go back to your mother so someone will cook food for you."
"But I want you to cook something for me and besides I need to ask you if you can buy me some clothes that I can use while I'm here." Beca then sits on the bed and looks at her daughter.
"First of all I'm not your nanny to cook your food, second you're going to spend your summer here with me but you don't have enough clothes to use. That's not my problem you know."
"Oh it is your problem, you see. You're my mother and I'm your daughter. I'm your responsibility and even if you deny me, I have a proof. Now if you don't want your fans to know that you're neglecting me then go to the kitchen and cook something for both of us."
Beca raised her eyebrow at her and lay down on the bed again "There's a lot of cereal you can find at the kitchen and oh some potato chips too, eat it." And close her eyes so she can go back to sleep.
"Oh you'll regret on doing this." Bailey said while she jumps off the bed "Really? What could an 8 year old girl do?" the little redhead smiles at her and went out of the door.
She can't do something bad, can she?
She stays on her bed for twenty minutes before she decided to check on her daughter. She puts on her robe and went out of her room. She went to the living room but she didn't find her there. She also checks the kitchen but still there's no sign of Bailey everywhere.
Maybe she went home to her mother.
She shrugs her shoulder and smiles as she opens the fridge to look for something to eat then she hears the home phone rings. She walks back to the living room and pick up the phone.
"Hello?" she answers "Ms. Mitchell, sorry to disturb you but ah can you come down here at the lobby?" Mr. Sparks says.
"Uhm why? Is there a problem?"
"Well the little girl, the one I told you who's looking for you. She's crying here at the lobby saying that her mother is neglecting her." Beca widen her eyes and mentally curse at herself.
"There are some other owners who are talking to her right now and they told her that they will call child service to report about this."
"What?! Okay ah I'll be there in a minute but please tell them not to call the child service." She hangs up the phone and didn't wait for Mr. Sparks to say anything. She then removes her robe and throws without bothering to see where it landed.
She almost runs towards the door when she saw her reflection on the mirror. Beca is only wearing a shirt and boxer shorts.
Ah fuck! I'll change later for the meantime I need to stop my daughter for doing something bad against me!
She grabs her keys on the table near the door, opens and closes it the make her way to the elevator. It only took 5 minutes for Beca to reach the lobby and she immediately sees a group of people.
Mr. Sparks waves his hand at her to get the brunette's attention and when he does, he points a finger towards the group of people she saw a while ago. She walks towards them and she can hear a little girl crying.
She clears her throat and all of the people are now looking at her. She then saw Bailey looking at her with a smirk on her face.
"What's going on here?" she asks, she recognizes Mr. and Mrs. Greenwald from the group of people "Oh Beca dear, we saw this poor child crying and saying that her mother is neglecting her." Mrs. Greenwald answered.
"Oh poor soul." Beca says and glare at her daughter, the latter starts crying once more and all of them are looking at Bailey again "I'm not asking her too much, am I? I'm only 8 years old and I don't know how to cook yet. Am I that bad to ask for food from my mother?" while tears flows from her eyes.
Oh she's good; this daughter of mine is really good.
"Of course not sweetheart, you are her responsibility. She needs to take care of you and feed you. What's your mother's name so we can tell it to the child service?" Mr. Greenwald asks then Beca walks towards her daughter and carries her, good thing that Bailey is a bit shorter for her age like her mother.
"I know where to find her and you don't need to call the child service, I'll talk to her mother and see to it that she's going to take care of this lovely creature."
"Are you sure Beca? We can do it, we know that you're-"
"No Mrs. Greenwald, I have time. Don't worry about it." Mrs. Greenwald smiles at her and looks at Bailey "Don't you worry little girl, Beca is a nice young lady."
"She is?" Bailey asks "Yes she is."
"Okay Mrs. Greenwald, I do hope she's not like my bad mother." Bailey smiles at her mom and then to the people looking at them "Uhm okay we have to go." Beca says and she walks towards the elevator while carrying Bailey and went inside.
They were both smiling at them but Beca's smile fades away once the door is closed "You and I are going to have a serious talk about this later, understand?"
"Yes mom." And her daughter gives her the sweetest smile she can give.
Beca decided that she and Bailey will go to mall to buy the little girl some clothes and things she needs while she stays with her. They arrive at the mall and Beca parks her car on the parking area at the back of the mall. Bailey immediately gets off the car and almost kisses the concrete ground.
"Land! I'm alive! Oh thank God I'm alive!" the thing is, Bailey has no choice but to sit in front with her mother because she's driving a sports car and to top that, she's driving like there's no tomorrow.
"Oh don't be so dramatic!" Beca says as she turns off the engine "I'm only 8 years old so you should be driving with precaution." She fires back.
"Oh sorry my dear daughter but I'm driving a sports car and it's built for speed." Bailey scrunches her nose and closes the door. On the other hand Beca smiles and places her keys on her pocket when she hears Bailey's phone ringing.
My Love
'My love? Who the fuck is this?' she ask herself 'Does she have a boyfriend or something?' the call ended and Beca was about to grab it when it rings again.
And his time she answers the call.
