CHAPTER TWELVE:

"She's great Chloe," Jesse said as he walked in with a sleeping Emma in his arms. She was worn out from playing all day at the park.

"I know. I'm glad she gets to know you."

"Me too. I'll take her up to her room if you want."

"Oh no, you can just put her on the couch I'll take her up later."

"You sure?"

"Yeah it's fine. Oh, I almost forgot: Emma's fourth birthday party is on Friday and I was wondering if you'd like to come. I mean she obviously likes you and you should be there."

"It sounds great. I'll be there; I should get her a present. Just text me a list of things she likes and I'll get something."

"Alright, will do. See you there, Jesse."

"You definitely will. Thanks again Chloe," Jesse said while giving a hug to Jesse.

"Don't mention it," Chloe said with a wink and a giggle. She shut the front door and went to carry Emma upstairs. The fact that Beca would be at the party completely slipped her mind.

Friday at Aubrey's House…

Beca was tidying up Aubrey's living room since she's been temporarily staying there, when a distraught Aubrey walked into the house. "Hey Bree what's up?" Beca asked walking towards the door.

"Becs, I got to tell you something but it's been years and I know you might still be upset but you got to bury the hatchet."

"Whoa, slow down what is it?"

"Jesse lives here and New York and I thought you should know because you could possibly see him tonight."

"Okay that's cool I got over that years ago, but why would I see him tonight? Emma's party is tonight, why would he be there?"

'Shit.' Aubrey clearly didn't think that through, but Chloe called and said she invited Beca so she had to do something. "Well, I invited him."

"Why would you do that?" Beca asked skeptically.

"He—He's my uh… boyfriend."

"What? Aubrey I've been living with you for a week and a half how could I not know you've been dating Jesse?"

"It slipped my mind that's all. It's a pretty recent thing and I didn't want to cancel my date tonight."

"Well okay…I guess. Hey, I need your opinion on something."

Aubrey was still in shock Beca bought the boyfriend story she sent a quick text to Chloe while answering Beca, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Aubrey: Chloe, I panicked; Beca thinks Jesse and me are dating. Fill him in and play along.

"Okay, well tonight since it's Emma's birthday and I love the little bug and I think she loves me I was going to ask Chloe on a date. I clearly still love her and that day at her house was definitely not a drunken mistake. So, what do you think? Should I ask her out?" Beca asked hopefully.

Aubrey was about to answer, but a text came in from Chloe first.

Chloe: Oh my gosh I know you've had a crush on him forever but really? Now you're dating okay I'll let him know.

Aubrey tuned back in when she heard Beca's voice, "Bree?"

"Oh sorry it was Jesse. But I think you and Chloe still have important matters to discuss and aren't you still with Luke anyways? I mean I know you've been staying here, but you guys almost had a kid together and I thought you were serious."

"We were; the truth is we broke up when I started living with you. I told him it was because of the pain of seeing him because of the miscarriage, but the truth is I want to be with Chloe. Besides, Chloe and I have already talked about everything unless there's something she left out.

"No, of course not. Just, ask her out and then I guess you guys will figure it out. I'm happy for you Becs."

"Thanks Bree." Beca and Aubrey shared a nice hug, but Aubrey couldn't help but feeling guilty for lying to one of her best friends.

Emma's Birthday Party…

Chloe was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on Emma's birthday cake. She could not believe her baby girl was four years old today; Chloe couldn't help but shed a tear. Emma was running around in a pink princess dress and a tiara in the backyard with all of her friends. Tom, Stacie, Cynthia Rose, Aubrey, Jesse, Benji, Lilly, Denise, and Ashley were all the adults that were there. Beca wasn't here yet and Chloe was getting very anxious to see her. Chloe still admired the roses that the small DJ bought her the other day she couldn't help but smile every time she looked at them.

"Hey, what's the hold up?" Aubrey asked from the back door, with Jesse behind her. Aubrey and Jesse weren't supposed to be in character until Beca got there but they seemed to be taking a real liking to one another.

"Sorry just lost in my thoughts," Chloe answered.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that," Jesse said with a chuckle, "Oh by the way, just to be on the same page here," Jesse briefly looked over his shoulder to make sure Emma wasn't around, "does Beca know that I'm Emma's biological father?"

"No, she thinks its Tom. I'm going to tell her though, I just need to find the time," Chloe said.

"You couldn't find enough time in four years, Chloe?" Chloe's blood ran cold at the sound of Beca's voice.

"B-Beca," Chloe met the DJ's hurt eyes and couldn't find any words to say. Beca was holding a gift for Emma and a beautiful bouquet of Lilies, Chloe's favorite flower, with tears in her eyes.

"You probably weren't ever going to tell me, were you? Aubrey knew too and never told me, no one did. I came here to confess my love for you and give you a chance to come back into my life and I find this out."

"Beca, please hear me out I wanted to tell you. I love you."

"No Chloe, if you loved me you would've told me the first time we talked since I moved here; hell, you would've told me four fucking years ago. Why did you let me believe all that time that Tom was her father? Do you know how many years I resented Tom for impregnating you when it was really Jesse? I can't even believe this right now. I can't believe myself right now, I still love you after all this and you," Beca said pointing at Aubrey but Chloe did catch the proclamation of love from Beca, "how long have you known?"

"Chloe told me when she found out she was pregnant," Aubrey said honestly with her eyes fixated to the ground.

"Unbelievable. You claimed to be my best friend. You said you'd be there for me; for months I came to you and cried and cursed Tom's name when you were betraying me too. I can't believe you!" Beca was fuming and had her hands in a fist. Everyone knew of Beca's anger and no one dared touch her at a time like this. Tom, Stacie, and Cynthia Rose all came inside when they heard all the commotion in the kitchen. Everyone else decided to stay outside to keep an eye on the kids.

"Beca, please don't blame her. It's my entire fault, but baby please, I love you. Please say you love me too," Chloe said reaching for Beca's hands.

"No! You don't get to call me baby and don't fucking touch me," Beca said yanking her hand away. Chloe had her arms around herself and she was quietly crying.

"Beca, calm down there are children outside and God forbid if Em hears you," Aubrey said in a demanding tone.

"You know what? I'm going to leave I need time to think," Beca turned to address Tom and held out her hand, "you were always a great friend to Chloe and my only reason for disliking you was because I thought you took advantage of a drunk Chloe. You didn't though, and you took all the responsibilities for a child that wasn't yours, so this is a truce." Tom took Beca's hand with a sad smile. Beca turned around and started walking towards the door, and then all of a sudden she turned back around and punched Jesse Square in the face. Gasps were heard all around the room and Beca started yelling, "How dare you get her pregnant and not be there for her! You sick, douche!" Tom had Beca by the waist holding her back while Aubrey was nursing Jesse's broken nose. Suddenly, Beca felt tiny punches to her leg and she looked down to a crying Emma.

"You hurt my new friend Jess and made my mommy cry!" Beca instantly stopped fighting Tom's hold on her and calmed down.

"Bug, no it's not what it looks like I'm sorry for hitting Jesse." Then it hit Beca, "wait, you've met Jesse?"

"Why do you think he's here?" Aubrey asked with a glare.

"Fuck," Beca whispered and turned to apologize to Emma but the little girl backed away from her.

"I hate you Bec I never want to see you again!" Emma said then ran upstairs to her room.

A distraught Chloe ran after her and Beca just fell to the ground, put her face in her hands and just started sobbing. She was crying for everything; she was crying for her college self, for Chloe, for Emma, for Tom, for Jesse, and crying because she was scared. She was scared because after all this, she still loved Chloe.
