A/N: I really like where this story is going, so I was inspired to update quickly again. This is my longest chapter yet so I hope everyone enjoys it.

On the way to Aubrey's…

"Mommy can we play a game just between us?" Emma was super excited to finally meet the mysterious Beca she's heard so much about. She was in a cute, pink baby doll dress with her hair in pigtails.

"What kind of game?" Chloe was so nervous she could barely apply her lipstick while Tom was driving so she just decided to give up.

"When we get to Aunt Bree's, I have to guess who Beca is!" Tom raised his eyebrows because he didn't know Emma was familiar with Beca.

"Um, okay sweetie."

"Yay! Daddy do you want to play too?"

"I already know what Beca looks like so that wouldn't be fair to you baby."

"I guess that makes sense. Can you please turn up the CD, I like this song!" After Tom turned up the CD, "I Saw the Sign" mixed with "Bulletproof" filled the car and Chloe was proud that Emma was singing every word. It was actually one of Beca's mixes that they were listening to; I guess Chloe would tell Em that after she finally meets Beca. Chloe just laid her head back and tried to relax before they made it to the very interesting dinner.

"Mommy sing with me!"

" Okay sweetie, this time baby, I'll be bulletproof…"

Aubrey's House…

"So, Stacie you seeing anyone new?" Aubrey asked as she sipped her wine. Aubrey, Stacie, Luke, Fat Amy, and Cynthia Rose were all seated around the living room talking amongst them.

"Actually yeah I am. It's this guy I've known for a while and we decided to try things out; he's really cute and really sweet."

"That's great, I hope I can meet him soon." Stacie was about to respond when the doorbell rang and everyone froze. Everyone in the room was aware of Beca and Chloe's past so they didn't know what they were in for. Aubrey cleared her throat then got up to answer the door.

"Hey Aubrey, we brought some brownies." Tom said with a smile. He was surprisingly relaxed about this whole situation but he had to be so Emma wouldn't think anything was out of the ordinary.

"Oh thanks Tom. Well don't just stand there, come in." Aubrey widened the door and everyone walked in. Emma had her face buried in her mom's neck because she was nervous about meeting the new people. Chloe casually stayed silent looking around the room when her eyes landed on Beca and her breath caught in her throat. Beca looked up and met Chloe's eyes then quickly turned away. This was their first time seeing each other in person in a little under three years. Meanwhile on the opposite side of the room Stacie brightened up a bit and got up to give Tom a hug and continued to talk to him. Aubrey was a little surprised by the interaction but just shook it off.

"Emma, baby why don't we start playing the game." Chloe knew Emma would figure it out right away. Her only options were the actual Beca, Cynthia Rose, and Fat Amy. Chloe of course didn't want to interact with Beca but she thought suggesting the game would loosen Emma up a bit and it did. Emma hugged her bunny and turned just a little bit so she could see the new faces. Conveniently they were all seated on the couch next to each other so Emma didn't have to search around the room.

"Her! The one with the stuff in her ears and the pretty eyes." Chloe wasn't surprised when Emma immediately picked Beca out. As for Beca, she stopped breathing when the tiny redhead pointed at her. 'Has Chloe mentioned me? Has she shown the little girl pictures of me?' Nervous thoughts were running through Beca's mind until Chloe finally spoke up.

"Emma has heard Aubrey mention your name before so she wanted to guess who Beca was."

"I knew it was you." Emma climbed off Chloe's lap and walked over timidly to Beca with her bunny in tow. Chloe was silently freaking out because Beca would be able to see Emma's features up close. "You're really pretty, but not as pretty as mommy of course." Emma simply raised her arms up towards Beca. Beca just looked towards Chloe for confirmation of what the child was asking.

"It's fine, you can pick her up if you want." Chloe managed to get out. While Emma was asking Beca different questions about her earrings and tattoos, Chloe was observing every inch of Luke. 'Dammit' she thought, 'he's really cute.' Then Chloe saw Luke's mouth moving and registered that he was actually talking to her. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, you must be Chloe; I'm Luke, that's my sister Amy-" Fat Amy cut in.

"It's Fat Amy."

"You call yourself Fat Amy?"

"Yeah so twig bitc-" Luke quickly cut her off so she wouldn't curse in front of the child.

"She can explain later. Anyways it's so great to finally meet you, Aubrey speaks very highly of you." To say Chloe was surprised would be an understatement, but she played it off very well.

"Oh I've heard good things about you as well."

"Well I hope so. Your daughter is beautiful by the way; you and your husband did a great job."

"Oh no, me and Tom aren't married; we're not even together, just raising Emma together."

"I understand, I'm sorry for assuming."

"It's no problem, it's a common mistake." The conversation awkwardly hung in the air so Aubrey decided it was the perfect time to move the group to the dining room.

"Well, let's get started on dinner everyone."

"Bree, is Emma's booster seat still here?" Chloe said as she walked over to Emma and Beca so she could get Emma situated.

"Yeah it's in the kitchen."

"Okay," Chloe held her arms out to Emma, "come on let's go eat"

"Can I sit next to Beca while I eat please?" Beca was pleasantly surprised. She enjoyed Emma's cute little questions and loved getting to know the little girl. Emma was exactly like Chloe the way she would get excited about little things and her face would just light up.

"If it's okay with Beca," Chloe just looked at Beca expectantly waiting for an answer "don't worry, you don't have to she's heard the word no before." Chloe assured with a small smile.

"No, I would love to sit next to Emma." Emma excitedly squealed and grabbed Beca's hand and dragged her to the table.

Dinner consisted of light conversations and promises to hangout again. Emma was beyond happy sitting in between Beca and her mommy; Tom was sitting next to Stacie and they were giggling to themselves like teenagers. Chloe mostly caught up with Cynthia Rose, who was working at the same label as Beca; Fat Amy worked with them as well. After everyone ate Chloe's infamous brownies, Stacie, Cynthia Rose, and Fat Amy all left. Luke was talking to Tom and playing with Emma. The little girl as taken a liking to Luke and the funny way he talks. Aubrey decided it would be the perfect time for Chloe and Beca to talk to each other.

"Hey Beca, Chloe could you guys help me in the kitchen?" Chloe shot Aubrey a worried look but Aubrey just ignored it.

"Uh yeah, sure." Beca said scrambling to her feet. She doesn't want to be in a room with Chloe without Luke. She can't lie and say there aren't strong feelings still there and she needed Luke for reassurance.

"Um, okay." Chloe said as she walked into the kitchen.

Beca decided to break the awkward silence, "So, Chloe how are you?"

"I-I'm good. I teach music at the elementary school close by our house but only for a few hours a few times a week. All my other time is mostly spent with Emma."

"That sounds great."

"Yeah, how are you?"

"I'm great, as you know the label moved here so we're going to be pretty busy. Luckily I still get to see Luke a lot because we both work there. He's a producer at the label and he's actually the one who discovered me." Chloe tensed at the mention of Beca's boyfriend. "Are you seeing anyone Chlo?" Aubrey could tell Beca was trying to rub her relationship in Chloe's face because she already told her Chloe wasn't seeing anyone. Chloe caught on to the look Aubrey was giving Beca and knew the DJ was just trying to get a rise out of Chloe so she did what she does best, she got back at her.

"No, I'm not seeing anyone. It's just easier for Emma to not have any man other than her dad in her life." Beca swallowed loudly and tried to hold back anything she would later regret. She would be lying if she said that she still wasn't upset with Chloe.

"Oh I understand, completely. That's why I didn't stick around." Chloe and Aubrey both had their mouths open in shock. They cannot believe Beca actually said that.

"Well you would know how to run away from things, wouldn't you Beca?" Aubrey was shocked at the second low blow. They all knew Chloe was referring to Beca's parents' marriage. Before either girl could say something else, Aubrey cut in,

"Stop it, both of you!" Beca and Chloe just glared at each other, both of them were fuming.

"You know what, I don't have to stick around and listen to little miss perfect and her perfect family." Beca said as she was turning to leave, but Chloe refused to let her have the last word.

"You could've had a perfect family too, Beca!" Beca froze at the door of the kitchen, and then turned around.

"No, I couldn't do it Chloe you know that. I loved you so much and you screwed me over. So no, it wouldn't have worked."

"You don't even know that Beca! You didn't even try, you just left like a coward."

"I wasn't being a coward. It hurt too much to stay around you Chloe!"

"I apologized so many times Beca. I'll never forgive myself for hurting you but a part of me doesn't regret it because I was blessed with a beautiful little girl who loves me." Beca didn't know what to say so she just walked out of the kitchen.

"Is everything okay ladies?" Tom asked with a questioning look.

"Just peachy, but me and Luke still have some unpacking to do so we're going to head on out. Thanks for inviting us Aubrey."

"No problem Beca." Aubrey walked over and gave Beca a hug.

"Come on Luke let's go." Luke handed Emma's bunny over and said goodbye to the little redhead.

"Wait Beca!" Beca turned around to Emma with a little pout on her face, "you didn't hug me goodbye. Will you come play with me again some time?"

Beca crouched down to give Emma a tight hug. "Of course I will, bug."

"You called me bug… I like it!" Emma said with a bright smile.

"Okay, I'll keep calling you that," Beca gave Emma a wink and turned to Tom and Chloe, "see you guys later."

"Bye Beca, it was good to see you. And it was nice to meet you Luke we should hang sometime."

"Yeah man, that would be cool."

"Bye Luke it was nice to meet you." Chloe said with a hug goodbye to Luke. She turned to Beca and shot her a small smile then turned away.

Beca and Luke walked out and Aubrey got up to shut the door. "Really Chloe? I thought y'all could at least be in the same room without going at each other's throats."

"Why are blaming me? I wasn't the only one saying things."

"Yeah, but you could've stopped it; you didn't have to respond."

"Whatever I didn't come here to get ridiculed and lectured. I'll see you later."

"Come on Chloe don't be like that."

"No, it's fine we're just going to leave," Chloe turned to Emma, "go give your Aunt Bree a hug and kiss goodbye."

"Bye Aunt Bree!" Emma said in Aubrey's arms.

"Bye Em, bye Tom."

"Bye Aubrey." Tom said from the door giving an apologetic look to Aubrey for Chloe's behavior. Chloe took Emma from Aubrey and walked out the door. Aubrey got up to see them out and locked the door feeling like getting Chloe and Beca to talk wasn't such a good idea.
