Beca woke me up at around nine the next morning. As I walked into the kitchen, I heard the terrace door close. I went up after her.

"How am I supposed to tell her Chlo?" she asked me, as she laid down on the couch and lit a joint. I could tell she was really thinking about it.

"The best way you know how. If she freaks out it is her stuff and not yours. You know that. She's young Beca, but so were you when you first made contact with Luke. I don't know, I've never dealt with this before. I don't want to psych degree you because I know that you aren't the average case Beca Mitchell. I think you have to do what's best for you because you are the one who has to live with it." I took the offered joint from her.

"Yeah, I'll probably just say it. I've never been great with this sort of thing. We should go after this. I want to get my boy home and go see Jesse at the hospital yet."

We finished the joint in silence. Beca's features were laced with anxiety and for the first time she looked twenty five to me. When we were done we got up and went downstairs to finish getting ready. Beca grabbed the keys and we went down to the car.

Luke's place was a forty five minute drive from ours and when we got there he was out on the porch playing with Caellum. Trinity came out as we pulled up with a bottle for him. When we got out Caellum started shrieking.

"Hey baby boy!" Beca said, lifting him from Luke's arms. "How's my little rock star today?" he started babbling at her.

"Want to go inside? I feel like we should talk." Luke offered as he opened his front door. Beca's jaw set and she nodded.

When we were all seated in the den and Caellum was in my arms guzzling back a bottle, Beca spoke up.

"So, I'm not really sure how to gently ease into this one. Trinity, you and I are biologically sisters." she said locking her ocean blue with Trinity's light green.

"How... How do you know?" she whispered back.

"Mom and Dad, they died in a car wreck. You were three and I was eleven. Your mom... Only wanted you. I let you go so that you could have more than I did. So you wouldn't end up hard like me and alone. Then a few years after they took you from me, Luke drove down to Chicago to find me. He brought pictures and told me all about how you were growing up and you were in school... I was so proud. When I got my GED, I moved to Seattle with Jesse, and Luke was able to keep me posted better. Then you got pregnant, I graduated college and I moved out to LA to get a job and step up for Caellum. I know it's a lot to handle, but I couldn't not tell you anymore. You're a Bryant now, but you used to be a Mitchell like me and I figured you ought to know."

"Why didn't anyone tell me? I've been old enough to know for a long fucking time now." Jesus Christ, she was a mini Beca. Even her temper flared up the same way. "You all knew and yet, no one thought I should know this intimate little detail of my own life?" Luke cut in now.

"It was my call Trin. I didn't know if you were ready. You've been through so much. The pregnancy and mom's drinking and trying to get you graduated on time... I just panicked and asked Beca to keep her mouth shut. I love you and I was just trying to protect you." he said taking ahold of her hand.

"Alright, fine. But what now? Am I going to have to leave because I found my real family? Cause I don't want to go Luke. You're my brother and my rock. I need you." she squeezed his hand.

"No baby girl. You aren't going anywhere. Just after last night, seeing the two of you together, people started putting things in place and figuring shit out. We wanted you to hear it from us, before you read it online or saw it on TV. Beca's pretty famous after all." He pulled her into a hug.

"We should go. You guys got some stuff to talk about. Trinity, if you ever need anything or just have questions you can always call me okay? Same goes for if you want to see Caellum. You can always see him if you want to." Beca said as she stood up.

"Wait! I have one question for you. Mom and Dad... Did they love us? Were they good parents?" she asked.

"They were the best Trin. They loved us so much. Dad was amazing, he could do anything. Mom was so loving and gentle. You were her pride and joy Trinity."

"Good, I just needed to know that someone loved you as a kid."

"They did. That's what got me through it all. Knowing if they could have been, they'd have been there."

Beca drove to the hospital without a single word spoken. When we got there we were directed to Jessica's room. As we walked in, we saw the three of them sitting on the bed.

Jesse was in awe. There was a sparkle in his eyes that words couldn't even begin to describe. His usual grin had been replaced by a face splitting smile and his finger was in Emily's fist.

"Hey world's greatest aunties! This is Emily Rebecca. Emily, these are the two most amazing women in the world other than your mommy. Get used to them, cause they never go away." For the first time all day Beca softened. She walked forward and extended her arms to take Emily. She looked down at her and started cooing the way she had when Caellum was first born.

After Emily got home, things sort of fell into a routine. Beca went to work, I went to school and Caellum stayed with Jessica and Emily. He was so cautious around Emily it was adorable. He protected her well too.

The two of them were playing on the carpet one day when Jessica's brother came over to visit. Caellum had never met the guy before. When her brother leaned down to pick up Emily, Caellum bit his hand. Jessica apologized like a hundred times, explaining that Caellum didn't usually bite and she had no idea why he had.

Her brother looked at her and said, "I'd have done the same thing to protect you. He didn't know me and I was reaching for his little cousin. They're close and he's already protective."

Beca was so proud when she heard the story, I was embarrassed.

A year flew by in no time at all. Caellum was talking and walking, Emily was crawling and saying her first couple of words. Jesse and Jessica got married, which was the most beautiful thing to see and Beca had dropped several more huge albums for Universal. Much to Beca's heartbreak though, we still hadn't heard from Trinity. Luke had only told Beca that he wasn't going to play message boy for her, and that Trinity would call her when she was ready.

I went back for my second year of school. On September 5 2012 my heart was shattered and I dropped out again.
