CHAPTER SIX

Beca and Izzy were finishing up their lunch aimlessly chatting about anything you could think of. Izzy noticed how every time she brought up Beca's family the DJ would quickly change the subject, so Izzy decided that she'd take a different approach.

"So, how much did you have to pay Chloe to let you out of the house?"

Beca smiled lightly then went back to a blank expression as she thought about how to answer; "She doesn't exactly know I'm out to lunch with you right now."

Izzy answers with a raised eyebrow, "Oh? And where does she think you are?"

"Probably walking the streets. She's so damn frustrating sometimes!"

"I don't mean to pry, but what started all of this?"

"When Chloe got knocked up by one of my best friends in college then lied to me about who the father was for four years," Beca rushed out. Her eyes widened when she realized what she told the young girl, "Shit. You did not need to know that," Beca put her hands on her face realizing she not only told her own business but Chloe and Emma's as well.

"Wait, so you and Chloe didn't have Emma together?"

"Um no, Iz. That's kind of impossible," Beca said smartly.

"No, no. I mean like you didn't pick a donor and all that together."

"Nope just a drunken night of old-fashioned conception,"

"I'm really sorry Becs," Izzy raised a hand to Beca's arm in a comforting manner.

"No, it's okay I really shouldn't have brought that up. That's the exact reason Chloe and I are fighting right now,"

"Maybe you're not really over it. Emma's what, like ten now? Maybe since it's been so long you think you've gotten over it, but you haven't."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Well duh, of course I am," Izzy says throwing a wink, "What do you say we get out of here and go to my place?"

"Iz, you know I'm happily married and—"

"Not like that, silly! We can listen to some Bon Jovi, or watch movies, or something. I promise I'll keep my hands mostly to myself," Izzy says while raising her hands as if she were surrendering.

"Okay, I guess that'll be okay. Lead the way."

Izzy and Beca head out to Beca's car and go on to Izzy's apartment.

Meanwhile, four hours later…

Chloe was lying on the couch with Emma on her lap while they watched "The Princess and the Frog." Chloe was worried because when Beca went on her walks to think she would either be home by now or text to say she was staying elsewhere.

"Mommy, where's Beca?" Emma asked lifting her head up to face her mom.

"I don't know baby girl," Chloe said while stroking Emma's long, red hair.

"I'm worried about her."

"Its okay sweetie, maybe she'll call us in a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay," Emma turns back to face the movie.

Chloe picks up her phone to call Beca, but it goes straight to voicemail. Chloe is getting worried too, but doesn't want to upset Emma any more.

"Alright babe, go get in the bath"

"Ugh, do I have to?" Emma asks with a pout.

"Yes, now," Emma stomps upstairs to go take a bath. Chloe goes to and lay in her and Beca's bedroom. She hopes the DJ comes home soon.

At Izzy's…

The ending credits of "The Hangover" were rolling and Izzy and Beca were knocked out. Beca woke up with messy hair and a confused look on her face. She checked her surroundings trying to figure where she was exactly. Beca calms down when she sees a sleeping Izzy next to her and remembers she's at the young girl's apartment. Beca looks at the clock on the DVD player and her eyes widened accordingly. Beca shakes Izzy awake and grabs her cellphone that has 2 missed calls from Home and 3 missed calls from Chloe. "Iz! Isabella! Wake up!" Beca yells. Izzy abruptly gets up with a panicked look, "I gotta go, we fell asleep and my family has no idea where I am,"

"Chill, it'll be okay just explain that you fell asleep over here,"

"Are you kidding me? She's gonna think we slept together!"

"No, she won't. And don't try to make up some lie on the way there, because the truth always comes out somehow,"

"Okay, okay. I'll talk to you later," Beca rushes out of Izzy's apartment and makes her way to her car.

When Beca arrives home she quietly closes and locks the front door. "Well, look what the wind blew in," Chloe was sitting on the couch in a tank top and some sleep shorts drinking a coffee.

"Hey Chlo..." Beca says trying to walk towards Chloe to give her a kiss.

Chloe holds up her hand telling Beca to stop where she is, "Do you have any idea how worried I was? How worried Em was?" Beca opened her mouth to answer but Chloe cut her off, "You know I was still kind of mad at you for a while. But then, then I thought what if something happened to you. What if I lost you? That stupid fight wouldn't have mattered. It would've been the last thing on my mind. To be honest Beca, I didn't know if you were lying unconscious in a ditch somewhere!" Chloe whisper-yelled so she wouldn't wake her daughter.

"Chloe please let me explain. Will you?" Beca asked with pleading eyes. Chloe nodded towards Beca telling her to continue. Beca takes a huge breath, "Okay, so you have to stay calm and let me finish before you freak out. I was at Izzy's house," Beca saw the look on Chloe's face and decided to hurry up and continue, "We were just hanging out as friends and watching a couple of movies then we fell asleep. I swear that's all that happened."

"Beca, you know how I feel about her. We had just gotten into a fight about her so what possessed you to fall into her bed?"

"First of Chlo we weren't in her bed we were watching movies on her couch. Second, we weren't there the whole time we went out for lunch first. Two friends, enjoying lunch together, that's it."

"Sounds more like a date to me,"

"Seriously Chloe, I am not cheating on you with her! I love you with all of my heart and I would never jeopardize my marriage for some fling. Why can't you get that into your head?"

"I don't know. I just feel like maybe one day you'll use when I lied about Emma as an excuse to do whatever you want," Chloe said looking down.

"You actually think so low of me that I'd use that as some kind of 'Get out of jail free card'? I can't believe this. I feel like a broken record having to repeat the same things over and over again."

"I'm sorry. That's just how I feel."

"Well I feel like this conversation is over. I'll be sleeping in the guestroom tonight because it frustrates me that you still doubt my love for you," Beca walks up the stairs but stops at the top, "By the way, even though you're pissing me off, I still love you."

Chloe stares at where Beca once stood then puts her head on the arm of the sofa and closes her eyes waiting for sleep to take over her.
