When Beca wakes up, she didn't find Chloe lying next to her. She calls her names a few times thinking that she's only inside the bathroom but no one came out of the bathroom. She slowly sits on the bed and look around. She grabs her bathrobe and put it on then went out of her room.
She hears voices in the living room and saw Aubrey, Stacie and Amy talking.
"Beca!" Aubrey says when she sees their friend walking towards them, Stacie quickly helps her friend and let her sit on the couch "Thanks." Beca said.
"How are you feeling?" Aubrey asks "I'm feeling a lot better, thanks to Chloe." Beca answered and look behind her back.
"Where is she anyway?" she asks once more, she didn't see the look on Aubrey and Stacie's face while Amy widen her eyes "What do you mean by 'where is she?'"
Beca look at Stacie and saw a confused look on her face, same with Aubrey "Did she leave already?" the two girls sense the sadness in her voice "Beca, what are you talking about?" the brunette then look at Amy.
"Where is she Amy?" the DJ asks her friend "Who?"
"Chloe!"
"I don't know. Maybe she went back to Atlanta…" then Stacie and Aubrey look at her "I mean she's in Atlanta right?"
"No, she was here and you know that."Beca said, she then closes her eyes and sighs "Please tell me I'm not dreaming." She said and looks at Amy.
"Uh I think you are."
"That's impossible. I mean we kissed and-"
"You have sex with Chloe? Why she didn't tell me." And Amy realizes what she said "Oh look at that, CR is calling for me. Okay mate I'm coming, just wait for me okay." She was about to stand up when Stacie stops her.
"Maybe you're just dreaming. You know, you wanting her to be here so your subconscious mind creates dreams like that" the taller brunette explained.
"Yeah, Stacie's right. Amy told us that you've been sleeping for a couple of hours when we came back." Aubrey butted in "I-it feels like it's real. I mean, I remember her feeding me with a- she cooked me a soup!"
"Soup? What soup?" Stacie ask but the shorter brunette already went to the kitchen. Amy, Stacie and Aubrey follow her and saw Beca looking at the pot on the table.
The DJ opens it and smiled "She cooked this for me." She said, the girls look what's inside the pot and there's really a soup inside "I know I'm not dreaming." The older Mitchell get a bowl in her drawer and pour some of it.
"Come baby, let's watch some trolls." She said to Bailey who happily obliged and grab some soft pretzel breads on the table.
"What was that about?" CR asked when the mother and daughter are nowhere in sight, Stacie and Aubrey then look at Amy as they both crosses their arms on their chest.
AT THE LIVING ROOM...
Beca and Bailey are both watching trolls; the little redhead is eating her pretzel bread while her momma is eating her soup.
"This is the best part whenever I get sick." Beca said out of nowhere, Bailey looks at her momma and saw a small smile on her face "Your mom always cook this soup for me. She knows that I don't have appetite most of the time and I don't want to drink my medicine also." And Bailey chuckles.
"I don't know why but she knows how to make the pain go away." Beca look at soup and think about Chloe "I'm really stupid huh?"
"Why momma?" Bailey asked "Because I keep on hurting the only person who loves me more than herself."
"The only person, who believes in me, didn't leave me when everyone else does and gave up everything so I can be happy." Beca blinks her eyes a couple of times to stop the tears from falling "She should be hating me right now but instead, she came here and take care of me for even a short time." She added.
"She doesn't hate you momma, don't say that." Bailey answered "I do know that you two are getting a divorce." The brunette then look at her daughter, shock on what she hears.
"At first I don't want that to happen because I want us to be complete but in the end, I respect mom's decision." She explains "I know she still loves you mom. I may not know or understand what's happening between the two of you but there's one thing that I know." Bailey then looks at her momma.
"She's hurting right now and in order to stop the pain, she needs to let you go."
"But I don't want to let go." Beca answered "I won't sign those divorce papers. I'll fight for your mom. I'll show her that I can change and be a good mother to you."
"How are you going to do that? I think mom won't let you travel back and forth from LA to Atlanta." Bailey ask "I'm still thinking of a way baby but don't worry, I promise you, I'll do anything to win your mom back."
Bailey nods her head and hugs her momma "I know you can do it and I'll help you think of a plan." The little redhead answered.
"Two heads are better than one huh?"
"We can ask for Aunt Amy's help momma if you want."
"Ah no baby, let's leave her out of this, okay?" Bailey laughs when Beca winks at her then they hear Aubrey's voice shouting.
"BAILEY! CAN YOU COME HERE AT THE KITCHEN FOR A SEC?!"
"Go help your Aunt Amy before Aubrey cuts her head off." They both laugh and Bailey stands up but before she leaves, she takes out a piece of paper in her pocket "Mom told me to give it to you before she left." The little redhead said and run towards the kitchen. Beca places her bowl on the table and carefully unfolds the paper. She smiles when she notice Chloe's penmanship and silently read her letter for the brunette.
Hey Beca! Sorry if I didn't wake you up before I left, the doctor told me you need to have plenty of rest so that's why. You should take care of yourself and please have some rest once in a while. We're not getting any younger.
Beca chuckles and continue on reading.
I'll send you a text message once I'm in Atlanta. Sorry if I can't stay any longer. Anyway, drink your medicine on time and there's some soup left. Just find a way how will you explain it to the girls. So bye for now and get well soon.
Chloe
AT THE KITCHEN (before Aubrey shouted Bailey's name)
Amy is sitting on the chair surrounded by the girls. Stacie and Aubrey are both in front of her standing. When Beca wakes up and ask where Chloe is, they know something happened while they are gone shopping.
"Do you want to tell us something?" Aubrey asked their aussie friend "Tell you what?"
"Who cooked that soup and why is Beca asking where Chloe is?" Stacie answered.
"I told you I'm the one who cooked that soup and why would Chloe be here?"
"Amy, only Chloe cook this kind of soup. I know it because I saw her cooked it if Bailey is sick." Emily butted in "You can't cook." CR added.
"You hurt my feelings for a moment there but it's okay."
"Amy!" the girl shouted "That's my recipe; my late late late late late and very late grandma gave that recipe to me."
"Your grandma is that old dude?" CR asked but receives a glare from Aubrey "Sorry, go on." CR said. Aubrey was about to ask something when her phone rings. She saw Dr. Morgan's name flashing on her screen.
"Hold on a sec, I have to answer this." She said to the girls "Hello Dr. Morgan?" Aubrey said and when Amy hears it she whispered 'Fuck we forgot about the doctor' but Stacie hears it.
"Hello Ms. Posen, are you doing something right now?" he asked "Uhm nothing, can I do something for you?"
"No, I just want to tell you Beca's blood test result. It came out positive and there's no infection. The cause can be stress and fatigue." Aubrey didn't respond because she's thinking when did Dr. Morgan get Beca's blood?
"Just continue giving her the medicine I prescribed and of course complete bed rest for the next three days and she'll be fine then. She's lucky Mrs. Mitchell is there and called me to check up on her." The blonde girl still didn't respond and it the doctor notices it.
"Ms. Posen, are you still there?" he asked "Uhm yes doctor. Ah thank you and we'll give Beca proper bed rest. Thanks again." And she ended the call. She then looks at Amy who is smiling at her.
"Did you call Dr. Morgan?" she asked Amy "N-Yes!"
"Dr. Morgan said 'Mrs. Mitchell' not 'Ms. Wilson'" Stacie then looks at Aubrey "Mrs. Mitchell?"
"Yeah and I don't think it's Beca's mother and you know the reason why. There's only one Mrs. Mitchell in her life right now, her wife, Chloe."
"Her surname is Beale, Aubrey." Amy said and this time the blonde girl had enough of it. She walks towards Amy and place both of her hands on the side of the chair.
"You will tell me what we need to know or I'll show you what kind of terminator I can be." Aubrey said "Okay… well… I'm Mrs. Mitchell." Amy answered; Stacie pulls Aubrey away from the aussie girl and tell her to call on Bailey.
"BAILEY! CAN YOU COME HERE AT THE KITCHEN FOR A SEC?!" she shouted and look at Amy "You're not going to stand up from that chair unless you give us a serious answer." She added.
When the girls see Bailey standing near the table, Stacie told the little redhead to take a sit on the chair next to Amy.
"What's going on here?" she ask "The girls are playing 'Who's the murderer?' they are the investigators and we're the suspects." Amy answered.
"Okay Bailey, we'll ask you a question and we hope that you'll answer it truthfully not like some people." Aubrey said ignoring what Amy said but glares at her.
"Sure, what is it about?" Bailey asks, Aubrey motion for Stacie to do the questioning "Sweetheart, can you please tell if your mom was here while we're gone?"
"Yes." The younger Mitchell answer and they all look at Amy "She was here a while ago, now she's at the living room watching trolls." The aussie girl laugh out loud but stops when Stacie looks at her.
"We're not pertaining to your momma Beca baby." Auibrey said "Then who?"
"You're other mother." CR answered "Chloe?"
"Yes!" Emily said "As in Chloe Beale?"
"Yes Bailey, Chloe Beale or Chloe Beale-Mitchell." Stacie answered; Bailey didn't say anything so the taller brunette calls her name
"Bailey!" she said "What's the question again?" the little redhead ask and the girls let out a frustrated groan.
"It's no use. She won't talk." Emily said "Amy come on. We know you didn't cook this soup, you didn't call Dr. Morgan and most especially you wouldn't dare change Beca's clothes because she won't allow you to!"
"I c-can't breathe." Amy said and places her right hand on her chest "I t-think, I h-have an asthma attack."
"You have asthma?" CR asked "Yes!"
"Since when?"
"Since now and I'm allergic to Emily who keeps on asking me questions!" Bailey rubs Amy's back and say they should do something.
"Okay fine, we won't ask you anything anymore." Aubrey said then all of a sudden Amy smiles, stand up and walk to the table and ask "So, can I have some soup that Chloe's made?"
Days go by and it's time for Bailey to go back to Atlanta. For the past few weeks, the mother and daughter tandem made sure that they have the best time of their life. Beca had a proper bed rest and made sure that she drinks her medicine on time.
"So are you ready?" Bailey asks her momma when she saw her looking out the window. Beca smiles at her daughter and hold her hand.
"I am baby but I'm a little bit nervous." She answered "Don't be, we'll tell mom about it one of these days. For now, let's get you settled first then let's see what happens."
Beca nods her head and look out the window again. Chloe knows that she'll be going to Atlanta with Bailey and spend the rest of the weekend there. Bailey needs to be at her school on Friday morning that's why they booked an early flight for today so the little redhead can have the whole day rest.
"Did you check all your things?" Beca asked the little girl while they are heading towards the door "Yes momma, what about you?"
"I have everything I needed that includes you." Bailey giggles as they went out of the door. They saw Beth with Stacie walking towards them.
"I told Chloe not to pick us up and she said that she's going to cook and invited us to join them for dinner." Stacie said "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Beca answered.
"Our flight is at 10 am and you need to wait for a little longer before seeing your wife again. Remember four hours flight?" Beth butted in "Yeah, yeah, I know. So where are the rest of the girls?"
"Emily and Stacie are waiting for us downstairs while Amy and CR will meet us at the airport. They need to sign some papers first for some new projects before they leave." Stacie answered.
They arrive at the airport 2 hours before their flight so they decided to have some breakfast at the cafeteria while waiting. As they wait for their order, Beca looks at Bailey at the other table with Emily, Amy and CR.
"So you're really doing this huh? Leave LA and live in Atlanta to be with them." Beth said "Yeah, I remember that it's your idea to use those thirty days to win Chloe back."
"And this is one of your ways?" Aubrey asks and Beca nods her head, she then took out a book inside her bag. The three girls saw words written in front.
BECA AND BAILEY'S PLAN
The girls smiles on what they saw and looks at Beca "We're happy that you're doing this Beca and I'm sure you can change Chloe's mind." Stacie said.
"I hope so because I don't know what I'll do if she won't be in my life anymore." Beca answered.
After more than four hours of flight, the girls arrive at Atlanta Airport. It didn't take them that long to get their luggage and immediately ride the SUV Aubrey rented.
"Are they going to deliver the furniture's you ordered online?" CR asked Beca "Yes they said they are going to deliver it today but I forgot the time."
"Where's the address?" Beth asked who is sitting on the passenger seat in front "Oh here." The shortest brunette answered. Beth then gave the piece of paper to the driver, look at it and smile at the brunette beside him.
It took them 30 minutes to reach the street where Beca bought a house. Bailey is so excited and can't wait for her mother to see it. The brunette on the other hand is nervous and also excited to see the house and most especially her redhead.
But then Emily notice something about the street then saw their house "Hey is that our house?" she said, Stacie who heard it look out of the window then widen her eyes.
"What are we doing on our street?" she asks "Beth!" the lawyer who is sitting in front fell asleep and woke up when she felt someone tap her shoulder.
"Are we here?" she asks and yawn "what are we doing on our street?" she hears Stacie asks and in a matter of seconds she look outside the window then to Bailey.
"What did you do?" Beth asks the little girl who just gives her an innocent smile.
"What's going on?" Beca ask but no one among Stacie, Emily and Beth answered her question then they felt the vehicle stops "We're here!" the driver said.
Bailey told Beca to open the door immediately so she did; same with the other girls. The little redhead then runs towards the new house of her momma and jumps for joy.
"Welcome home momma! I'm sure mom will be surprise by this!" Bailey happily said "Oh god no…" Beca said while Amy and CR shook their head.
"Yep, Chloe will definitely be surprise when she finds out about this." Stacie said while looking at the house Beca bought next to Chloe's.
