A/N: Okay, so I know it's been a while and this chapter is kind of short. I guess it better than nothing, right? R&R!

CHAPTER NINE

It's been three days since Beca, Chloe, and Emma found out that Jesse is Isabella's mysterious older brother and Beca is still freaking out. Although the little one was getting in trouble, Emma found the light in the situation that she had an aunt who was related to her by blood. Emma wanted Beca to tell Izzy right away so they could have some family bonding time, but Beca didn't want to drop a bomb this big on the younger woman.

Chloe was busy tidying up the living room while her two favorite girls were downstairs in the studio doing who knows what. Chloe is picking up the last of Emma's toys when she gets unexpected call from a number she didn't recognize.

"Hello?"

"You do realize that Benji is my best friend and tells me everything, right?"

Chloe completely froze. She quickly thought to herself then said, "I-I'm sorry I think you have the wrong number."

"Come on, Chlo? Just tell me why you asked for my number but haven't used it yet."

"I didn't ask for your number," Chloe said honestly.

"Oh yeah? Then who—Oh my God. It was Emma wasn't it?"

"Yeah for some reason she wanted to meet and know more about the man who abandoned her…twice."

"S-She wants to meet me? I'd like to see her too, you know."

"Over my dead body."

"Chloe, I know it sounded bad, but what I said on the phone that day was taken out of context. I wasn't actually given the chance to explain when you all basically kicked me out of town."

"Beca heard you loud and clear. You were playing all of us."

"Yes, I did say all of those things but I didn't mean any of it. The phone call was a conference call with my father. Just—Give me a chance to explain myself, please.

"Give me one good reason. Tell me why I shouldn't just hang up the phone and keep you out of Emma's life forever."

"I'm in love with Benji."

Chloe's jaw went slack. She did not see this coming at all. "W-What? Jesse, what the hell does that have to do with Emma?"

"My father is the biggest bigot I've ever met, okay? He was the guy offering the job. He found out about Emma and you and Beca being a lesbian couple and I couldn't let him find out about Benji and me too. My father is a very powerful man, if he knew I had any contact with the daughter I had out of wedlock and her gay mothers for that matter, he'd lose his mind and go after you and Beca."

"I don't know what to say Jesse. What makes things so different, now? What's stopping him from coming after all of us now?"

"After I left that day, Benji convinced me it was time to come out to my dad. Well, three years after he basically disowned me and kicked me out of the family business, I called my mother. It took three years for her to pick up the phone… So after telling her all that I'd been through, and all about Emma she hung up the phone on me. I knew my relationship with my mother was already tarnished and there was only one left worth saving but I ruined that. I abandoned my sister on her graduation day. The day all of you kicked me out and all but drove me out of town, I was supposed to be there for my sister. Yes, my father was a terrible man, but my mother was much worse. She told me if I ever tried to find my sister, I'd regret it. I know what that woman is capable of; my sister never did though. I didn't ever tell my sister how terrible my mom was because that was all she had left. She looked up to our mom like she was a queen. I couldn't take that away from her. So she still visits my mom regularly probably discussing how big of an ass I am."

"Jesse, why did you tell me all of that?"

"The same reason I'm about to tell you this: I think you are the most caring person I've ever met and although I wasn't in my right mind I knew it was you I was sleeping with. I needed it to be you. I have been denying the fact that I'm gay since I was in middle school and I always felt like I had to prove I wasn't. Nothing says you're not gay by sleeping with a lesbian. I in no way meant for you to become pregnant, but all I know is that I couldn't be reminded of how selfish I was. Just being near Emma would be telling me everyday that I used you to feel better about myself. I do care about you, and Emma. Please don't ever doubt that. And please find it in your heart to forgive me."

At this point Chloe was in tears and openly sobbing in her living room. Beca came upstairs and was instantly with Chloe holding her in her arms. "Chlo? Baby what's wrong?" Beca looked at the phone in Chloe's hand, "Chlo, is it your mom? Is it my mom?"

Chloe was just shaking her head. She lifted the phone up to her ear and said, "I don't know why, but I do forgive you, Jesse. I can't be mad about the best thing that's ever happened to my life."

The second Beca heard the name Jesse come from her wife's lips, her eyes were widened in shock.

"Thank you so much, Chloe."

"I gotta talk to Beca so I'll call you sometime tomorrow." Chloe ended the call and turned to her wife.

"So you wanna explain to me what the hell that was?"

After Chloe told Beca everything Beca was having another internal struggle. First of all, she finds out that Jesse is gay. Then she finds out that Emma was the product of the ultimate gay panic. Beca then realizes that she can't possibly tell Izzy the truth about Jesse because it could ruin Izzy's relationship with her mother. This was not okay.

A/N2: Well here's a fun fact: I had this chapter written two weeks ago but I completely scrapped it this morning and decided didn't want Jesse to be evil. Hope you all like it! Lemme know what you all think. R&R
