A/N: Okay so I've decided to be spontaneous and do a HUGE time jump. I'm continuing on from the last chapter which was a super sneaky cliffhanger but later on in this chapter it while jump four years. I do let you know what happens in the years between so don't worry. Without further delay...
CHAPTER SIX:
Chloe knew she was doomed. She thought Tom would've been gone for another two hours. She stayed frozen with her eyes shifting until she finally faced Tom. He was pissed. Chloe had never seen him like this before so she honestly didn't know how to react.
"Um… I—I didn't—I t-thought you were at work?"
"Answer the fucking question!" At this point Chloe started heavily sobbing and Tom instantly felt guilty.
"I don't know what else to do Tom. S-She'll take me back if I get rid of it; I need her in my life." Tom crouched down so he could level with Chloe.
"Chlo, are you seriously telling me that you'd take your child's life just to get Beca back? That's not the Chloe I know. The Chloe I know would get Beca back without losing anything in return. You can't do this just because you're feeling weak and vulnerable. Just think of having someone who loves you unconditionally and can look up and call you mommy. They won't ask for anything in return except for you to love them back. "
"I-I know Tommy I just wanted her back so bad. I wouldn't have done it—you have to know. Just please don't be mad at me. She told me she just wants to be f-friends I didn't know what else to do."
"Well then be her friend. I see how Beca looks at you and if she loved you before then she'll love you again you just gotta have faith babe," Tom says with tears in his eyes.
"I'm just so scared I can barely take care of myself. How am I supposed to take care of someone else?"
"Well, you're not alone. I am here for you and this baby and I'll never leave you I swear it."
"Thank you. And I'm so, so sorry I even thought about that. Please don't hate me."
"I know kiddo, I know," Tom wraps Chloe in a bear hug as they both sit there crying.
About two hours later Tom wakes up wrapped up with Chloe on the couch and goes to his room. He pulls out his phone and decides to do something to make his life and Chloe's life much easier.
"Hello?"
"Jesse."
"Tom? What do you want?"
"Look, I understand that you don't want this baby but you have to promise me you'll stay out of Chloe and the baby's life."
"Whatever man, just don't call me again."
"No Jesse! Promise me."
"Okay, okay I promise. I gotta go."
With that Jesse hangs up and Tom goes to start on dinner hoping Jesse stays true to his word.
"Hey Jess who were you on the phone with?"
"Oh, hey Becs it was nothing. So what've you been up to lately?" Jesse asks as Beca walks further into his loft.
"Nothing really just taking my mind off of a few things but I haven't visited in a while so here I am," Beca says with her signature smirk.
"Well I'm glad to have you. So how are things with you and Chloe?"
"There okay I guess. We decided to just stay friends."
"Well that's good; I've never really liked her for you. You can do so much better Beca."
Beca is getting angry at Jesse's words, she may be mad at Chloe but she still loves and respects her. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, just I think you and I could work out, we had something special before and we can have it again." Beca just rolls her eyes.
"Dude, Chloe and I just broke up and you're already trying to get with me? You are seriously messed up in the head. We've been over this already: number one, I am gay. And B, I am not attracted to you."
" I just don't get it you left me for a whore that ended up cheating on you!"
Beca was frozen for a second but then she came to her senses and showed Jesse her killer right hook to the jaw.
"Don't talk to me ever again. Asshole."
Jesse is laying on the ground cradling his bruised jaw and Beca steps over him and walks out like a badass.
FOUR YEARS LATER…
"MOMMY HELP! DADDY IS TRWYING TO GET ME!" Chloe just shakes her head at Tom crawling on the floor like a lion chasing after her three and a half year old daughter, Emma while she was cleaning the kitchen. Taking care of a little girl was hard at first but with Aubrey and Tom's help it was a piece of cake. Emma of course calls Tom daddy and believes that he is in fact her dad; Emma looks a lot like Chloe but still has a lot of Jesse in her. She has red hair and beautiful blue eyes like her mom, but has Jesse's nose and other features. Chloe plans on telling Emma the truth, but not until she's old enough to understand. After Chloe had the baby, her and Tom decided to move to New York along with Aubrey who got a job offer. Tom had an easy job in New York at his father's business so he knew he could support his new family. Tom took on full responsibility and was there for Chloe every step of the pregnancy. As for her friendship with Beca, Beca and Chloe would talk to each other now and then, but got most of their information from Aubrey. Beca lives in LA now and had a boyfriend of six months named Luke. They met at the record label that signed Beca for her DJing skills. Chloe was beyond upset when she found out, but is slowly coming to terms with it. Beca deserves to be happy and Chloe was happy as long as her love and her daughter were happy. As for Jesse, he hasn't contacted Chloe but did send a stuffed bunny when Emma was born that the little girl has been attached to ever since. Emma is starting to look more like Jesse as she gets older so Chloe is beyond worried that the truth will come out soon; even though Beca has never seen Emma before except for baby pictures.
Chloe was taken out of her thoughts when the doorbell rang and Aubrey walked through the door.
"Aunt Bree!" Emma squeezed out of Tom's grasp and ran to the door.
"Hey princess, how are you doing?" Aubrey lifted up Emma and gave her a kiss on the check.
Emma wiped off the lipstick left on her cheek then responded, "I am good daddy and I are playing zoo!" Emma says excitedly.
"That sounds like fun. Hey Tom, hey Chlo." Aubrey says as she addresses the adults in the room.
"Sup Bree"
"Hey Bree I'm in the kitchen," Chloe says.
"Okay Em I'm gonna go talk to your mommy, you go back to playing" Aubrey sets Emma down and she darts off towards Tom to jump on his back.
"What brings you to the jungle?" Chloe says with a giggle.
Aubrey just chuckles and sits down. "You might want to sit; I came bearing news."
"Oh no, what is it?" Chloe says putting down her wash rag and sitting at the kitchen table.
"Now, hear me out completely before you freak out or say anything, okay?"
"Just tell me Aubrey" Chloe says raising her voice a little and successfully getting the attention of Emma and Tom. Aubrey gets up and shuts the divider between the living room in he kitchen.
"Okay, so as you know Beca is doing pretty well in LA—" Chloe cuts her off.
"Yeah, I know so just tell me what you have to say already"
"BecaslabelgottransferedtoNewYorkandherandhernewbo yfriendaremovinghere." Aubrey say all in one breath now breathing heavily trying not to vomit.
"Say that again please," Chloe says getting slightly annoyed with her crazy best friend.
"Beca's label in LA is opening one in New York and Beca is moving here with her boyfriend." Aubrey is looking at Chloe waiting on a reaction. Chloe is just staring at Aubrey with a blank expression on her face. "Chlo, say something please. Are you there? Chlo!" Aubrey snaps Chloe out of her trance.
"W-What? Why? S-She can't I mean—no this can't happen. Aubrey! She hasn't even met Em yet! She's looking more like Jesse everyday; she'll figure it out. Shit." Chloe buries her face in her hands trying not to cry.
"Chill out! First of all Emma is the spitting image of you! Besides if you would've told Beca the truth all those years ago you wouldn't be freaking out right now." Aubrey says firmly.
Chloe is about to respond when her little fireball is running into the kitchen.
"Mommy, I thirsty may I have some juice… please." Emma has always been a sweetheart who makes Chloe feel guilty everyday that Beca didn't get the chance to love and meet her. Chloe can't help but wonder what her life would be like if her, Beca, and Emma was all a family; it brings a tear to her eye just thinking about what could've been.
"Mommy is you sad?"
"N-No baby let me get your juice." Chloe turns to address Aubrey; "We'll talk about this later when my daughter is not present."
Chloe walks to the refrigerator like a zombie while Aubrey looks down, feeling bad for making her friend so sad. Luckily Emma doesn't understand anything that is going on and is happy to be playing with her bunny.
A/N 2: OKay so personally I think I could've written the Tom and Chloe scene better at the beginning but I'm slack so I just decided to post it. PLEASE leave me feedback on what you think of this chapter. Tell some of the stuff you want to see. Do you like Emma? Should Beca meet her? Should Chloe meet Luke? Let me Know! REVIEW! :)
