Beca can't believe what she's seeing right now. Bailey is on the stage with her holding a mic and smiling brightly at her. The little girl stops on walking and look at her mother. Tears on Beca's eyes continues to flow, it's not because of the pain she's feeling but she's somewhat relieve and very happy to see her daughter there.
The DJ then open her arms and the little redhead run towards her. Cheers erupt from the fans. Some of them are teary eyed because of the scene happening in front of them.
Bailey is the first one who broke the hug and wipes her mother's tears "Don't cry momma, it'll ruin your make-up." Beca chuckles and nods her head a couple of times "Do you still want me to sing with you?"
"Of course baby but-" Bailey cuts her off "Aunt Aubrey send me a video of you singing to this song and she also send me a copy of it and the lyrics so I can practice it."
The brunette can't believe what she's hearing and she feels lucky to have a friend like Aubrey "Are you ready to sing with momma now?" Bailey smiled widely and nods her head. The older Mitchell holds her hand and they both look at the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you all, my pride and joy, my lovely daughter, Bailey Mitchell!"
Beca's fans screams Bailey's name "Are you ready?" Beca asks her daughter and the music starts to get louder again.
(Beca and Bailey)
"I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you
I'll crawl over broken glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey, I got you"
This time Beca let her daughter sings solo
"I'll be there to stop the bleeding
I'll be there to start the healing
I will give you what you're needing
I'll be right there
I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you"
(Beca and Bailey)
"I'll crawl over broke glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey I got you"
(Beca solo)
"I got your back, I got you
I take your side, I lay my life down for you"
"I'll crawl over broke glass, I will stand in the flame
Take the bullet, take the blows, I would take all the pain
Anything, anything that you gotta get through
Hey, hey, I got you
Hey, hey I got you"
As the song ended, Beca once again hug her daughter, she doesn't care if she cries over and over again, she won't think of the divorce for a while because the important thing is, Bailey her daughter is there with her.
Stacie, Aubrey, Amy, Emily and CR are all watching at the side of the stage.
"Hats off to you two for a job well done." CR says at Stacie and Aubrey who smiled at her "You made our little DJ happy on her final concert." CR added.
"Wait a minute, did you just say final?" Emily asks and looks at the girls "Yes my little sister. She decided that it's time to retire being a singer though she's still going to work as a producer so she can support Bailey." Stacie answered.
"It's been a long run and I'm proud of what she achieved." Aubrey butted in and look at Stacie "Well you did a great job too and she's lucky to have you as her manager."
Aubrey smiles shyly and that didn't go unnoticed to Amy "Ehem, it looks like we need to think of a name for our new couple." The aussie girl said to Cynthia-Rose.
"Name?" Emily asks once more "Yes and you keep on asking question." Amy answered.
"We called Beca and Chloe BECHLOE. You know combination of their name." CR explained "Oohhh let me think of a name for them then I'll say it to you later." Emily said.
After the concert ended, Bailey and Beca together with her friends attended the victory party but they only stayed there for thirty minutes and this time Beca make sure that Bailey is with her throughout the party. They arrived at her penthouse together with the girls.
As always Amy ordered some food for them while Aubrey and the rest of the girls lay down some blankets in the living room where they'll sleep. As for Beca and Bailey, the two are inseparable.
"Thanks for bringing Bailey back here girls." Beca said to Emily and Stacie, she and her daughter are sitting on the sofa while the others are on the floor.
"It's nothing, you should thank Chloe for allowing her daughter to go here and spend a few days with you again before we head back to Atlanta." Stacie answered.
"You should give her a call sometimes, Beca." Emily butted in "Uhm yeah I will, one of these days." The brunette then looks at her daughter "So what you wanna watch while we're waiting for the pizza?"
But before Bailey can answer, she hears her phone rings "It's my mom." She happily said and answers the call.
"Hey mom…" Bailey said and sits in between Beca's legs "Yes, we're already here at momma's penthouse and waiting for the pizza." The girls didn't say anything, they are just listening, looking at each other and after a while glancing towards Beca who is also quietly listening.
They hear Bailey chuckles "Promise I'll only eat one slice of pizza." The little redhead then looks at her momma and gives her a smile "You want to talk to them? All my aunts are here." she smiles again and removes the phone from her ears. The redhead presses the speaker button.
"You're on speaker now mom." Bailey said "Hey girls!"
"Hey there Chloe!" Aubrey said "What's up red?!" Amy shouted.
"Hi Chloe!" CR answered. Stacie and Emily look at Beca who is just listening though the older brunette saw the way she smiles when she hears Chloe speaks.
"I miss you girls, I hope to see you all again soon." Chloe said "Then why you didn't watch your wife's concert?!" Stacie who is near Amy, slap her with a pillow on her face.
"Ooppss I'm sorry, it slipped from me hand." Stacie said "Uhm I'm kinda busy cleaning the house and I'm saving some money."
"You're rich; I know how much a lawyer like you earns! You're a big time!" and another pillow hits her face and this time, it's Aubrey who did it.
They hear Chloe laughs "Well I have a daughter to support too." Amy was about to say something again but CR beat her to it "Well we're going to visit you anytime soon and you promise me and Amy that you'll watch one of our premiere nights there."
"Of course and I'll guarantee a free tour afterwards."
"We'll hold on to that Chloe." Aubrey said then Bailey butted in "Mom, Momma's here, do you want to say hi to her?" she asks.
The five girls except for Beca look at each other then to the brunette and to the mobile phone that Bailey is holding "Uhm sure, where is she?"
Bailey hand over the phone to her momma and the latter accepts it but remained the phone on speaker mode "H-hi Chloe." Beca says.
"Hey Beca, how's your concert?" Chloe asked "Oh it turn out great, the fans loves Bailey so much. Uhm t-thanks for letting her come and see my concert."
"No worries, she wanted to see you so who am I to say no." Beca smiles, that's one of the reason why she can't love anyone other than Chloe. She's fair to all the people she cares about, she haven't respond to her about the divorce.
"But still thank you for letting her attend the concert." Beca answered "And I miss you."
She wanted to take back what she said when Chloe didn't answered, she was about to say something when the older redhead speaks "Uhm I have to go, I should head back to bed. Congrats on your concert again. Good night."
Beca sighs before she answers "Y-yeah, good night Chloe." Bailey removes the phone on speaker mode and talks to her mother "I will mom, nighty night and love you too."
After she ended the call, Bailey looks at her momma and touches her face "Are you okay momma? You're kinda hot." She asks worriedly, Aubrey and Stacie went to their place and the blonde girl places her hand on top of Beca's forehead.
"She's right; I think you have a fever. Come on, let's get you to bed." She said "I'm fine Aubrey please I want to stay with my daughter." Beca answered weakly.
"I'll take care of her Aunt Aubrey, don't worry. I'll just get a blanket and pillow for her. Can you give her something so her fever subsides?" Aubrey nods her head and she goes to the brunette's room.
After they gave Beca some medicine and the pizza arrives, the girls are now watching LEGO: Jurassic World in NETFLIX. It seems like the girls are enjoying the movie while Bailey keeps on checking her mother. She knows she made her happy by being there but she also knows that Beca will be completely happy if Chloe is there.
She sighs and remembers the divorce papers she saw on the table. She went downstairs to get a glass of milk when she saw her birth mother reading some papers. The older redhead immediately hides it when she saw her but Bailey being Bailey found out about the papers.
She wants her family to be complete but in the ended accepted the fact that it will never happen because of the problem between the two. She respects Chloe's decision and understands her situation.
'Chloe…' she hears her momma's voice. She saw beads of sweat building up on her forehead 'Don't worry momma, everything will be alright between you and mom.' She whispered and kisses her mother's cheek.
"Aunt Amy can you take a look of my momma for a while? I need to go to the bathroom." Bailey says "Ah sure thing squirt." Amy answered but didn't look at her. The little redhead sighs; she's the one whose suppose to enjoy the movie and not them.
"Aunt Amy." She says again "Your mom won't go anywhere, go and do your thing." The aussie girl answered but this time she look at her.
"Be sure to-"
"Yeah, yeah I will, now go." Bailey looks at her momma first before proceeding to the bathroom. Once inside, she fish out her phone on her pocket and send Beca's picture to her mother. The truth is, she doesn't need to go to the bathroom to do her thing and she went in there because she knows that once Chloe received the picture; she's going to call her.
And she's right, after a few minutes, she hears her phone rings.
"Hello mom?" Bailey answered "Uhm hey sweetie, ahm I disturbing you?"
"No mom, why?" if only Chloe could see the big smile on her daughter's face "N-nothing, just asking."
The little redhead didn't say anything and covers her mouth to stop herself from laughing. She decided not to tell anything to her mother and let her ask about Beca.
"Soooo…" Chloe said "So what mom?" and the oldest redhead sighs.
"How's your momma?"
"She's sleeping. Aunt Aubrey gave her medicine for her fever but she hasn't eaten anything yet." Bailey tries her best to sound sad about her momma "What's her temperature?"
"The last time Aunt CR checked her temp is 100°F."
"Uhm okay so it's a low-grade fever. Ah can you do a favour for me baby?"
"Sure mom, what is it?"
"C-can you ah ask her if she feels pain in her body, also if she has a headache or chills, you know things like that."
"Okay mom but do I need to ask her now?"
"No, let her sleep and rest but if ever you're going to give her medicine later, ask her those things okay then text me."
"Sure thing mom but what if they give her the medicine while I'm sleeping?"
"Oh yeah, I never thought of that." The mother and daughter figure it out something first and after a few minutes Bailey speaks up "What if I ask one of them to ask momma about those things you told me."
"But that person will ask you why."
"Then I'll tell it to Aunt Amy."
"Oh not Amy, Emily perhaps?"
"Nah, I'll go with Aunt Amy, she knows how to keep a secret."
She hears her mother sighs "Okay but don't forget to tell her to send me a text message so I'll know."
"Don't worry mom, I will."
"Good, now go to sleep and its late there."
"Love you and goodnight mom." Bailey said.
EARLY THE NEXT DAY…
Stacie and Aubrey wake up at exactly 6:45 in the morning and hear noises coming from the kitchen. They look to know who already awake and found Amy's spot empty.
"I didn't know that Amy can wake up as early as this." Stacie said to Aubrey "Same here. We've been friends for years now and the last time I remember she wakes up like this is when one of her boyfriends decided to have their USUAL breakfast together." The blonde girl explained.
Stacie raises an eyebrow but in the end decided to ignore what she heard. She stands up and reaches out her hand to Aubrey. The two girls walk towards the kitchen and saw foods on the table.
'She cooked?' Aubrey whispered to Stacie 'Well yeah and why you didn't know that? She's your friend?' the brunette whispered back.
Aubrey was about to answer when Amy saw them "Oh hey there long legs and terminator. Ow ya goin mate?"
Stacie chuckles the way Aubrey glare at their friend "Morning too Amy." The taller brunette answered "Why are you up so early?" Aubrey asks her.
Amy stops on what she's doing. She then looks at the table with foods and some clean pans on her hands "I sleep too much so my brain decided not to get lazy this morning and here I am."
The two girls didn't say a word so Amy hangs the pans on its designated place. She then looks at the two girls and smiles "I'll just wake them up so we can eat."
After 15 minutes of disturbing her friends sleep, she manages to wake up Emily, CR and Beca but she didn't wake up Bailey because she knows the poor little girl sleep late last night. Beca place a blanket on her daughter then kisses her forehead before proceeding to kitchen.
"Hey there Becs, how are you feeling?" Stacie asked before munching on some bacon on her plate "My head still hurts and I'm kinda cold." She answered and sits beside Amy.
"You should see a doctor so they can prescribe you the right medicine." Emily suggested "Nah, I'll be fine. I'm just tired that's all."
"Well what do you want to do today?" CR asked her "Spend time with Bailey and do things she wants."
"She's so worried about you last night and went to bed late." Amy said "Lucky to have a daughter like her." The blonde aussie girl added. Before Beca can speak, Amy's phone beeps.
"By the way Stacie, I haven't checked the divorce papers you gave to me." The DJ said "Uhm we can talk about that when you're feeling well."
"Well I want to ignore it but come on guys; we do know that I need to think of a solution about it."
"Amy said that the lawyer she hired for you will drop by tomorrow morning." Aubrey says "You let Amy hired a lawyer for me? Seriously?" Beca asked.
"Ow come on mate, don't you trust me with those kinds of things?" Beca opens her mouth to answer her friend but then Amy's phone beeps again "If you want I can text her now to come over so you can talk to her while long legs is here."
Beca nods her head and took a bite from her bacon "I'll get the papers." She said.
The girls continue on eating and have a small chat once in a while but they noticed something about Amy, her phone keeps on beeping and she showed a lot of mix emotions in her face. Sometimes she widens her eyes or gasps or mumbles words they can't understand.
It's already 7:15 when they hear the buzzer rings, Amy quickly runs towards the door and saw the lawyer she hired standing in front of the door "G'day to ya mate!"
The person smiled and enters the penthouse. Amy guides her towards the kitchen. Stacie and Beca are facing their backs on them while Aubrey, Emily and Cynthia-Rose see the person with Amy.
"So she's the one you hired huh?" CR asked and Amy proudly smiled. Stacie and Beca turn their heads upon hearing those words from her. The taller brunette chuckles and Beca raise an eyebrow.
"So you'll be my lawyer?" she asked "At your service Ms. Mitchell." Beth answered. They offered her breakfast but she refuse saying that she's already finish and ask for a cup of coffee instead.
The girls are quietly looking at Beth while she's reading the divorce papers Chloe filed against Beca. The latter starts to worry when her lawyer keeps on sighing.
"Is there a problem?" the older Mitchell asks "Nothing. I'm just impressed how she handled it alone and I must say that your wife is quite clever." She answered while still looking at the papers.
"What do you mean?" Beca asked once more, Beth then looks at her then to Stacie who shrugs her shoulder "Chloe filed a no fault ground divorce. You see, there are two types of divorce, the no fault and the fault divorce."
"In English please." Amy butted in "if you filed for a fault ground divorce, she blames you for ruining your marriage while in no fault ground, no blame is placed on either party." Beth simply explained.
"She just state here that you cannot get along with each other, in other words it means, Incompatibility, Ir—"
"We're compatible! What the heck is she saying?" Beca butted in "Okay where was I? Oh yes and irreconcilable differences."
"Is there a way that I can defend myself to this?"
"Actually you can't defend yourself when it comes to no-fault divorce Beca." Stacie answered "But can she stop this thing?" CR asked her too.
"Sadly no, only Chloe can stop the divorce from happening. It also says there that she's not asking anything from you or obliged you to support your daughter."
"Then what will happen?" Aubrey asked "She can still file a joint custody right?" Emily asked.
"She'll still lose at the end Ems." Stacie answered and Beth raises an eyebrow at her "Oh don't give me that look Beth."
"Beca has a chance to win the joint legal custody. Chloe hid from her that she's pregnant with Bailey." Beth said to her "Yes she did but she's the one who left her behind, not giving a chance to tell her."
"Okay you two enough, you don't need to fight." Beca says and massages her temple "Save it to the judge." Amy butted in and receives a slap on her head from Stacie.
The taller brunette then looks at Beca "Don't think that I'm letting you down, I don't want to give you false hopes and I'm just explaining the possibilities. Legal Custody or Physical custody, you won't win against Chloe and in the end, the court will only grant you visitation rights."
"So it'll be better if I sign the papers huh?" Beca asks the two, Stacie and Beth looks at each other then to Beca" You can still do one thing." Beth answered.
"What is it?" the DJ asked "As you can see, you have thirty days to respond to this. Why won't you use those remaining days to change Chloe's mind?" Beth asked her.
When Beca didn't answer and just look at her, Beth continues to talk "You have thirty days Beca… thirty days and counting to prove Chloe that she's making a mistake about this and also to prove that you're worth a second chance on your relationship."
The girls continue on talking about Stacie and Beth's idea while Beca is just sitting there and listening. She thinks about what Stacie explained to her a while ago about the visitation rights but the thing is, she also wants Chloe to be there and it makes her blood boils to think that after the divorce, the redhead she loves dearly will start going to date with someone.
She looks at them and let out a small smile, the girls are busy thinking of a way to help her but notice that Amy is busy on her phone. She furrows her eyebrows when she widens her eyes again for the nth time.
"Who are you talking to Amy?" Beca asked her which makes the girls stops from talking "Uh w-why?" the blonde girl asks.
"Nothing, just wanna know." Amy then took a sip from her juice and shrugs her shoulder "Random people." She said.
"By the way, why are you asking Beca those kinds of things last night? Like if she has body aches or pain?" Emily asked her.
Amy starts to feel pressured and take a gulp from her juice again "Because I need to send a message to Chlo- do we have some cocoa puffs?"
The girls looks at each other and sense that Amy is hiding something from them "You don't eat cereal and you're done eating." Aubrey answered.
"People changes which includes me. Now why don't you run to the grocery store and buy me and Bailey some Cocoa Puffs." She suggested "Also you need to buy a couple of things and restock Beca's pantry."
"Me and Stacie can go." Aubrey said "Why don't you take these two with you also."
"Amy, it doesn't take four people to buy food and things at the grocery shop." Stacie answered "Yes I know that but it'll be more fun."
Beca knows they are going to have a long debate about this so she begs Aubrey and Stacie to bring along Emily and CR with them to end the discussion "You need a ride Beth?" Stacie asked her.
"Yes and thank you. Beca, I'll call you later about this okay?"
"Sure Beth and thank you."
"No worries; go and have some rest."
As soon as they finish fixing and cleaning up the table. Aubrey gives a medicine to Beca but the latter refuses, it took fifteen minutes before she take the pill.
"You sure you'll be alright?" CR asked her and Beca nods "Don't worry about me." She answered.
"Okay ladies, let's go." Stacie said but they stop when they hear Amy's voice "I'm coming with you and walk you downstairs."
"Why would you do that?" Emily asks "Stop asking stupid question Emily. I just want to be sure that you'll be safe and sound and I'm doing this for a precaution too."
"Precaution from what?" Beca asked "Why don't you just lay down next to your daughter and sleep okay?" Amy then pushes her friends outside the door and closes it leaving a confused Beca by the door.
The six girls reach the lobby and went outside the elevator. They were happily chatting when they see Amy runs towards the couches in the lobby and stand in the middle of it.
"What are you doing?" Aubrey asked and they were walking towards her when the aussie girl stops them "No don't go near or she'll kill me." Amy then felt a kick on her right leg.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Stacie asked "Language my dear sister of mine." Emily warned her.
"If I were you, just go and do your shopping. We'll be fine here. Save your lives my dear friends."
'I think it's not a good idea to left Bailey and Beca with Amy.' Beth whispered to CR 'Well I agree with you dude but sometimes Amy just forget to take her medicine so things like this happens.' She whispered back.
"Come now girls; let's go shopping so we can go back sooner." Aubrey said and holds Stacie's hand and drags her out of the building while the others are following behind.
As soon as the coast is clear, Amy turns around and looks at the person sitting behind her. The latter gives her an apologetic smile because of the kick the aussie girl receives a while ago.
"You know if you keep acting like that, they'll be onto you in no time." The person said "Oh don't you worry about it; I know what I'll do in case that happens."
Both of them laugh and Amy motions the person to follow her. They both walk towards the elevator and Amy pushes the up button. It didn't take long for them to wait and went in as the elevator door opens.
Amy then looks at the person standing next to her while she's removing her cap and sunglasses.
"And you really are serious travelling all the way here huh?" the girl winks at her and gives her brightest smile "This is going to be a long day!" Amy added.
"Absolutely." The girl answer as the elevator door closes.
