My Wife and Kids - Chapter 4: Hailee's 13th
"Chloe!"
The redhead groaned into her pillow as her wife's loud voice rung through her ears from their bathroom.
"What?" She whined as she reluctantly lifted her head. Xander had woken her up not that long ago so she was a little cranky to say the least.
"Come here, I need your help."
"You saying that from the bathroom, makes me not want to come even more." The woman groaned as she rolled out of bed, grabbing her phone on the passing to check the time. "What's wrong?" She sighed as she walked into the bathroom.
"What the fuck is this?!" Beca panicked, point at the strand of hair from the top of her head she was holding on to.
Chloe took a step forward and squinted her eyes since she wasn't wearing her glasses.
"Why the fuck do I have a grey hair?"
The redhead's eyes widened. Sure enough it was a grey hair and when Beca let it go, it was even more noticeable against her dark here. Chloe bit back a laugh as her wife looked at herself with a distressed expression in the mirror.
"Don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing." The taller woman tried to say as a smile threatened to appear on her lips.
"Damn, I'm old as fuck." Beca said as she stared at herself in the mirror.
"Then what the hell does that make me?" Chloe scoffed with a laugh, playfully shoving her wife who chuckled.
"At least you're not grey!"
"You're not even grey! You have one hair, come on stop being over dramatic." The redhead rolled her eyes.
Beca folded her arms across her chest with a huff and a pout.
"Can I see it?" Chloe asked a she took hold of the grey hair before suddenly pulling it out, making Beca screech.
"What the fuck?! Oh my god, ow!" The brunette placed her hand over her head where Chloe had just ripped her hair out. "Babe!" She gasped.
"Problem solved. Now we need to shower so we can go get the birthday girl up."
"You scare me in the morning." The shorter girl muttered, her eyes lingering on her wife as the woman stripped off her clothes. "You legit just ripped my hair out."
By the time they both got ready after their showers they took together, it was coming up for 8am and since Hailee's birthday was going to be a busy day, they decided to wake the girl up now.
"I'll go get her up, can you go check on the little one?" Chloe said as she placed her hand on Hailee's door handle.
"Yeah." Beca replied as she walked down the hall a bit to Xander's room.
The redhead quietly opened the door and made her way inside. "Hailee, sweetheart." She said softly.
"Hmmm." The girl hummed, her eyes still closed.
"Come on teenager, time to get up." Chloe grinned as she took a seat on the edge of her daughter's bed, patting the girl's back.
Hailee giggled as she slowly opened her eyes and gave her mother a tired smile.
"Happy birthday, little elf." The redhead ran her hand down her daughter's arm.
"Thanks, mom." Hailee smiled as she sat up with a stretch, immediately getting pulled into for a hug by her mother.
"Can't believe my baby is 13." Chloe laughed, repeatedly kissing the girl on the cheek.
"Mom!" The teenager whined with a giggle, pushing the woman off of her.
"Right go and have a shower, you've got a busy day ahead of you." The woman stood up and took hold of her daughter's hands to help her up.
As soon as Hailee left her room she bumped into her step-mother.
"There she is. Happy birthday, kid!" Beca wrapped her arms tightly around the girl and lifted her slightly off of her feet.
"Thank you." Hailee giggled.
"How's Xander?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, he's awake, I'm just gonna take him downstairs for breakfast." The 26 year old explained as she finally let Hailee step back on the ground.
"Let's go get him, Hailee you can go get ready." The 32 year old tapped her daughter on the shoulder to encourage her, earning an eye roll.
Once the 13 year old was showered and got herself ready, she made her way downstairs into the living room. As soon as she pushed the door open, she smiled widely.
Beca and Chloe both chuckled from the couch as they watched the girl's face light up.
The couple had put Hailee's gifts on the coffee table as well as having bought two huge balloons, a number 1 and a number 3.
"They're awesome." The girl gasped, pointing at the balloons before taking a seat on the edge of the couch in between Beca and Chloe. "Damn, I wonder what this is." She deadpanned, tapping the guitar case on the table before giggling.
"It could've been worse, we could've actually tried to wrap it." Chloe laughed as she bounced Xander gently on her knee as the boy sucked on his fingers.
Hailee slid off the couch onto her knees and moved over to the table to open the case.
"You keep telling me you want me to teach you guitar and it'll be better if you have your own so…" Beca trailed off with a smile.
"Woah, it's so cool!" The teenager said in awe as she pulled the guitar out of the case to get a better look. "Thank you oh my god, you guys are the best."
"You're welcome, baby girl." Chloe said with a wink.
"No problem, kid." Beca smiled.
The girl placed the guitar back into the case before picking up the gift bag next to it, taking a seat back on the couch. "What time are people coming?" She asked distractedly as she began pulling the contents out of the bag which was perfume and some clothes that she automatically seemed to fall in love with.
"Dad and Aubrey will be here first I think, they'll be here soon." Chloe said as she checked her watch.
"Cool. I love everything by the way, thank you so much." Hailee grinned as she placed her things on the table before giving the two women a kiss on the cheek each.
Xander started making noises as he reached his little hands out to his sister.
"What is it buddy?" Hailee asked in a baby voice.
"Think he wants to give you a birthday cuddle." Beca laughed as she rested her arm on the back of the couch and started absentmindedly running her fingers through her wife's hair.
"Awww!" The teenager cooed as she lifted her little brother onto her lap and he started giggling.
"Is it hurting?" Beca asked in concern as she noticed her wife running her finger over the stitches on her palm.
"No." Chloe shook her head with a shrug.
"You shouldn't be allowed to be this cute." Hailee giggled a she tickled the baby's stomach.
"He's my gorgeous little dude." Chloe said as she sat forward, running her hand over her son's hair.
"Hailee can I get a picture of you next to your balloons?" Beca asked as she pulled out her phone.
"Yeah!" The 13 year old passed Xander back over to her mother before getting up to go stand next to her balloons.
Beca smiled as she took the photo and her mind immediately had a little flashback. She remembered the day she took a photo of little 4 year old Hailee on the soccer field after Beca's team had just won the semi final. And now here she was at 13, looking as beautiful as ever, like her mother, growing into a wonderful young lady.
"You look so much like your mom." The 26 year old said as she looked at the photo before glancing at her wife with a grin.
While waiting on people to arrive, Beca, Chloe, Hailee and Xander were all out in the back yard.
"Hailee, which of your friends are coming over again?" Beca asked distractedly as she watched her wife sit Xander on the table in front of her.
"Just Ellie and Danny." Hailee shrugged as she juggled the soccer ball between her feet. She had friends in the past who used her just to for her fame and it really did suck every time she realised this. As for Ellie and Danny, she trusted them.
"Oh your little boyfriend?" Beca teased.
Hailee narrowed her eyes and flicked the ball up, kicking it towards the woman who caught it with a smug grin.
"Careful, Hailee." Chloe reminded, motioning to her son.
"He's just a friend." The teenager muttered, glancing down at the ground as she waited on Beca walking round the table with the ball.
"I know kid, I'm just messing with you." Beca chuckled, tossing the ball back to her.
"There's my girl!"
Hailee's eyes immediately lit up at the sound of her father's voice, looking past Beca to see him and Aubrey coming out of the house.
"Daddy!" Hailee exclaimed as she ran and jumped into Ryan's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist.
"Happy birthday, princess." The man chuckled, kissing her cheek before letting her down.
It didn't take long for the rest of the family to arrive so at this point, Hailee was just waiting on her friends so she could get in the pool.
"Don't tell her I said this but Beca found her first grey hair this morning." Chloe sniggered as she pushed her sunglasses up her nose before taking a sip of her lemonade.
All the younger adults which included Chloe, Aubrey, Ryan, Jesse, Stacie, Emily and Benji were all sat round one table outside while John, Kat, Cindy and Alex were sat around another. Hailee was away to the bathroom and Beca was inside changing Xander.
"Really?" Emily immediately laughed, finding it the most amusing.
"Already past that milestone." Stacie chuckled, running her hand through her hair. "Pretty sure becoming a mom ages you quicker."
Ryan smiled at his girlfriend as he ran his hand gently over her hair.
"Mom! I need you." Hailee called from inside the house and Chloe got up as she placed her glass on the table, leaving everyone as they started up a new conversation.
"What's wrong?" The redhead met her daughter in the kitchen, becoming concerned as soon as she saw the girl's expression.
The brunette stood there sulking with her arms folded across her chest. She let out a dramatic sigh before whining. "I got my period."
"Aww baby." Chloe said sympathetically, stepping toward to wrap an arm around the girl.
"I wanted to go in the pool." The teenager mumbled sadly.
Chloe sighed as she thought for a second. "Give me 2 minutes, okay? I'm need to talk to Beca about something." She let go of Hailee and walked towards the door to the living room.
The teenager rolled her eyes and made her way back outside.
The 32 year old's heart melted as she entered the other room.
Beca was lying on her side on the floor, propped up by her elbow as she just watched Xander roll over on his blanket.
"Are you two ever gonna come back out?" Chloe teased, grabbing her wife's attention.
"We were taking a break from socializing." Beca joked, reaching in her son's direction and he grabbed onto her hand.
"I can see that." The redhead chuckled as she walked up behind the couch and placed her hands on the back of it. "Did Hailee tell you she's on her period on the passing?" She asked.
Beca looked up and shook her head. "That's shady though, it's her birthday."
"I know and she's upset cause she can't go in the pool, I feel so bad."
"Give her a tampon." The brunette shrugged, pulling Xander up into her lap as she sat up.
"That's what I was thinking but…" The older woman trailed off.
"But what?" Beca asked.
"She's only 13, she's never used one before." Chloe explained, chewing on her bottom lip.
"I was only 11 when I first used one because I wasn't comfortable wearing a pad during soccer." Beca explained with a shrug.
Chloe just remained silent as she thought about it.
"Tell you what." The brunette began as she stood up, carrying Xander in her arms. "I'll go talk to her."
A small smile appeared on the redhead's face. She knew this is probably something her and Hailee should talk about together but the way Beca stood up and offered just made the woman's heart melt. "Okay, just...don't scare her." She added with an awkward laugh, taking Xander from her wife's arms as the woman approached her.
"I won't scare her." The younger woman rolled her eyes as she made her way back outside, her wife following her. "Hailee, c'mere kid!" She called over to the girl that was playing with the soccer ball across the yard.
The teenager walked over and Beca immediately draped an arm over her shoulder, leading her back into the kitchen.
"Mom told me you got your period."
"It's not fair, I wanted to go in the pool." Hailee said with a heavy sigh, folding her arms across her chest.
"Well, I can give you a tampon." The woman suggested.
"Uh I dunno, I don't know how to use one." Hailee said warily, glancing up at her step-mother.
"How about I explain it to you and after that you're still not sure, you don't have to try." Beca said and the girl thought for a second before nodding.
They went into the downstairs bathroom and Hailee put the toilet seat lid down before taking a seat while Beca perched herself on the edge of the bath.
"Right this can be pretty scary at first." The 26 year old began as she pulled a tampon out of the box, taking it out it's wrapper.
Hailee just watched on nervously.
"You know, it was actually my step-mom who showed me how to do this." Beca chuckled, realising that similarity.
"Really?" The 13 year old asked.
Beca nodded. "I was only 11."
"Woah."
"Right so this is one with an applicator so it'll make life easier for you. You'll need to relax okay, because if you stress out and tense up it won't go in." The woman explained. "So you want to hold it with your thumb and finger here." She demonstrated as the girl watched intently. "You'll push it in up to where your fingers are, remember and go more towards your back rather than straight up. Then you'll push on here and the actual tampon will come out." Beca pushed on the applicator and the tampon popped out the end. "Seem simple enough?" She asked.
"I'll give it a go." Hailee nodded.
"Alright, here you go, I'll be outside." The 26 said as she stood up, pulling another tampon out of the box, handing it to Hailee before leaving the bathroom.
5 minutes past and Beca was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom when she knocked on the door. "You alright, kid?"
"Yeah, I got it!" The teenager called back and Beca got up onto her feet as she heard the tap running.
Hailee opened the bathroom door with a smile on her face.
"Proud." Beca smirked, high fiving the girl.
The doorbell rang and the girl's face lit up.
"That'll be your friends, go get it." The woman patted the girl on the shoulder before walking off to join everyone else outside.
"How did it go?" Chloe asked as her wife came out of the house.
"Perfect. She's sorted." Beca placed her hand on her wife's shoulder as she leaned down, pecking the woman on the lips before taking a seat beside her.
"Where is she?" The redhead wondered.
"Answering the door." The younger woman replied distractedly as she picked up her phone.
"Chloe your body is looking amazing by the way." Stacie piped up, nodding towards the woman.
"Thanks Stacie." The redhead smiled, picking up her glass.
"Don't hit on my wife." Beca joked, not looking up from her phone.
Chloe smacked Beca on the arm with the back of her hand.
"I meant after having a baby 6 months ago, you weirdo." Stacie rolled her eyes with a laugh at Beca across the table.
"I know, she's hot as fuck." Beca turned to her wife with a smile, covering the woman's hand with her own. "Always has been." She added with that charming little smirk of hers.
The redhead blushed as she looked down, biting back a smile. Fucking Beca and her way with words.
"What's up guys?" Beca pulled her sunglasses back down from the top of her head as the 3 kids came out of the house, all ready to go in the pool.
"Hey." Daniel and Ellie greeted, giving all the adults a wave.
Beca and Chloe knew the two well by now, even though Danny was a newish friend. They were great kids and good friends for Hailee.
"Oh look, she brought her boyfriend." Stacie laughed as the kids ran off and jumped into the pool.
"What?" Ryan almost choked on his drink, going slightly pale.
"Stacie, you'll give the poor guy heart failure." Emily laughed, pointing at Ryan.
"He's just her friend, Ry." Chloe rolled her eyes with a chuckle at her ex.
"Better be." The man warned as he took another drink.
"Is anyone gonna come in?" Hailee called over from the pool.
"I can't with my stitches, sweetheart." Chloe said, holding up her hand.
"I'll come in later, kid." Beca said as she took another sip of her lemonade.
"You coming in, babe?" Emily asked her boyfriend, taking a hold of his hand.
"Of course." He smiled and they both stood up.
Benji removed his shirt and Emily took off her top and jean shorts so she was left in just her bikini before they got into the pool.
Ryan stood up and finished off his drink before pulling his shirt over her head and he ran up to the side of the pool to dive in.
"Babe, you should have a drink." Beca suggested, reaching over to stroke her wife's arm.
"One of us has to stay sober cause we've got Xander." The redhead reminded as she looked over at their son who was with his grandparents.
"I've not had a drink yet." Beca said as she lifted up her glass of lemonade. "And I won't if you're having one. Honestly babe, I don't mind, you deserve it." She chuckled. "Also you guys can all drink if you like, if you're too fucked later on you can just crash here." The brunette added with a shrug and a laugh as she spoke up a bit.
"I'm driving tonight since we've got Hailee, I'm alright." Aubrey spoke up first.
Jesse and Stacie glanced at each other before nodding.
"It's been so long since we've both had a drink together so why not?" Stacie shrugged.
"Cool. Do you guys want me to open a bottle of wine or something?" Beca asked as she stood up.
Jesse, Stacie and Chloe all agreed and the brunette got on her way to the kitchen.
Chloe's eyes followed her wife as the woman walked away. Beca looked hot today, she did every day but today she looked exceptionally hot. She was wearing jean shorts, a bikini top with only a red unbuttoned flannel on top so her wonderful abs were on full display. She had her sunglasses on and her hair was styled into tousled waves, she was just oozing sex appeal to Chloe and it was driving the redhead slightly crazy.
Beca quickly returned with 3 glasses full of red wine, setting 2 of them in front of Jesse and Stacie before walking around the table with Chloe's.
"Oh fuck." The redhead laughed when her wife set the glass in front of her. Everyone knows that red wine rocks Chloe insanely quickly.
"What?" Beca giggled, standing behind her wife's chair as she began to softly massage the woman's shoulders.
"You know what." Chloe rolled her eyes as she picked up her glass to take a sip.
"Hey, Hailee can you do this?" Danny ran his hand down his face, nudging the girl beside him before diving underwater to do a handstand.
"Yeah, my mom taught me!" Hailee replied in excitement once the boy resurfaced before she went and did one herself.
"Awesome." The boy chuckled, high fiving the girl once she came back up.
Hailee shrieked as something grabbed her leg. "Dad!" She yelled as she looked down and saw her father under the water.
He resurfaced with a laugh, running his hands down his face before his daughter splashed water at him. "Hey!" He lunged forward and picked the girl up, making her squeal before dropping her back in the water from a height with a splash.
Daniel laughed loudly.
"Careful kid or you'll be next." Ryan jokingly warned the boy.
"I hate you!" Hailee laughed when she resurfaced, pushing her father.
"Yo, Haiz!"
The teenager moved her head past her dad and her eyes immediately widened.
Stood there with huge grins on their faces was James and Taylor. Double trouble.
"Oh my god!" Hailee squealed, climbing out of the pool to run to her uncle and cousin, throwing her arms around them despite the protests since she had just come out of the water.
"Happy birthday!" The 26 and 20 year old said in unison.
"I can't believe you guys came!" The 13 year old said in shock as she pulled away.
"We couldn't miss out on favourite little weirdo becoming a teenager could we?" James chuckled.
"Your mom called us last week asking if we wanted to fly over." Taylor explained, walking over to place a hand on her cousin's shoulder who smiled knowingly up at her.
As time past, everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves. Ryan, Emily and Benji had rejoined the rest of the adults while James and Taylor were with the kids in the pool.
"Feeling a little tipsy." Chloe laughed as she swallowed the remainder of her wine, setting the glass down.
"Are you babe?" Beca asked in amusement, grinning at her wife.
"Mm." The redhead nodded with a hum, placing her hand on her wife's thigh.
"Here's the real question." Stacie said, grabbing everyone's attention, holding up her finger as she poured herself another glass of wine. "If you could only have one of these for the rest of your life and you couldn't have the other. Sex or chocolate?" Her voice was beginning to get a little slower and a slur was developing.
"Easy. Sex." Chloe was the first to speak up, making everyone laugh at her forwardness. The redhead reached forward for the bottle of wine and poured herself another glass.
"Sex." Ryan and Aubrey both said.
"Yeah, sex." Both Emily and Benji agreed with a nod.
"Sex all the way." Jesse said, high fiving his fiance.
"Chocolate." Beca said nonchalantly, confusing everybody, especially her wife who playfully smacked her on the arm. "I'm kidding!" She laughed, taking a hold of her wife's hand which had just hit her.
"Should we bring Hailee's cake out?" The redhead asked, stroking her thumb on her wife's thigh.
"Hailee!" Beca turned her head and called on her step-daughter.
"Yeah?!" The girl called back.
"You ready for your cake?" The woman asked and Hailee nodded with a thumbs up. "Come out and get dried up then." She added as she stood up.
"Woah." Chloe said as she stood up, holding onto the back of her chair.
"Fuck sake, Chloe." Beca laughed at her wife.
"I'm fine." The redhead laughed as she straightened herself up.
"C'mon, lightweight." The brunette slipped her hand into Chloe's and lead the woman inside.
"They're so cute." Emily commented as she watched her sister and sister-in-law walk back inside hand in hand.
"I can't wait to get married." Jesse smiled, kissing his fiancee on the cheek.
"I'm gonna see my little nephew." Emily grinned as she stood up and walked over to the other table where Cindy, John, Kat and Alex. "What's up guys?" The woman greeted everyone as she approached them. "Can I steal him for a minute?" She asked her mother, holding her arms out to Xander.
"Sure." Kat chuckled, handing her grandson over to her daughter.
"My handsome boy." The 23 year old cooed at the baby in her arms who was smiling at her.
"Emily where's yer sister?" Alex asked, sipping on his whiskey.
"She's inside with Chloe getting Hailee's cake." The young woman said, nodding towards the house.
"Right, I've got somethin' tae give to you two once wee Hailee gets her cake." The man continued, raising his glass with a wink.
Emily furrowed her brow at the older man before her attention was brought to Chloe and Beca walking out singing Happy Birthday while holding the cake. Beca was the one carrying it since she didn't trust her slightly tipsy wife to do so.
Hailee walked over to the table with a huge smile on her face as everyone else joined in on the song, her friends coming to either side of her as they watched Beca place the cake down.
"Happy birthday dear Hailee, happy birthday to you!" Everyone finished the song and the teenager blew out the candles while everyone clapped for her.
"My baby is getting so big." Chloe took Hailee's face between her hands and kissed her daughter on both cheeks.
"Mom!" Hailee whined, trying not to laugh as she pushed the woman away.
"Ignore her kid, she's swaying on one glass of wine." Beca rolled her eyes with a laugh, handing Hailee to knife to cut her cake.
"You're drunk?" The girl asked in amusement as she cut into her cake.
"I'm not drunk, I've had one glass." Chloe protested with a laugh.
Hailee just giggled as she began putting slices of cake on plates.
"Babe, c'mere." The redhead said, pulling her wife a few feet away from everyone.
"What's wrong?" Beca asked.
Chloe took hold of the woman's bare waist, pulling her against her body as she leaned into her ear. "You look so fucking hot, if no one else was around I'd take you right here, right now."
"Woah." The shorter woman smirked.
The redhead kissed her wife on the neck as she let go of her waist, winking at her before walking back to the table, leaving the other woman standing their like a smiling idiot.
Oh how Beca wished they were alone…
"Beca!" Alex called over, shaking the girl back to reality. "Come over here, pal." He motioned with his hand for her to come over. "I've got something for the two of you." The man said once Beca walked over and stood beside Emily.
The sisters glanced at each other in confusion.
Alex reached into his pocket and pulled out two ring boxes.
"Thanks for the offer grandpa, but I'm already married." Beca joked, holding up her left hand, making her father roll his eyes and laugh from the side.
"Shut up you." Alex pointed at his granddaughter with a chuckle. "Here, have a look." He said as he opened up both of the boxes. "Recognise them?"
Both the woman leaned in closer.
"Grandma's rings." Beca said quietly, smiling at her grandfather.
"Aye, her engagement ring." He pointed to the one on the right. "And her wedding ring." He then pointed to the one on the left. "She always said tae me 'Alex, if anything happens tae me, gie ma girls ma rings.' And am keeping ma woman's word." He said proudly, grinning up at his granddaughters.
"Really?" Emily asked in disbelief as she picked up the box with the engagement ring while Beca did the same with the wedding ring.
Alex nodded. "They're yours now."
"Can I wear it?" Beca asked, gently taking the ring out.
"Of course, sweetheart."
"Just be careful with them, girls." John reminded.
"We will." Emily promised as she slipped the ring onto her finger.
"There's no way I'd let this out my sight." Beca smiled down at the ring which she had slipped onto her right hand, wanting to keep it separate from her own wedding ring. "Thank you, grandpa." The woman leaned over and gave her grandfather a tight hug.
"Yeah, this means so much." Emily agreed, also giving the man a hug when Beca pulled away.
"I gotta show Chloe." The 26 year old grinned as she spun on her heel to walk away. She kissed the ring before looking up with a smile. "Babe." She said as she came up behind the chair her wife was sitting on, placing her hands on the woman's shoulder.
"Yes, my love?" The redhead said sweetly as she tilted her head back to see her wife.
"Look what grandpa just gave me." The brunette held her right hand out in front of the woman. "It's my grandma's wedding ring."
"Aww it's gorgeous, babe." Chloe said in awe, holding onto her wife's hand to get a better look of the ring.
"Right?" Beca chewed on her bottom lip as she leaned down and kissed her wife on the cheek.
As the evening approached, John, Kat and Alex had all gone home while Cindy decided to stay a little longer. The 3 kids were all sitting round the fire pit talking as Daniel and Ellie waited on their parents picking them up. And the adults were all around the table, some a little more drunk than others.
"Shhh, baby, it's alright. You tired?" Beca held her sobbing son close to her chest. It was nearing Xander's bedtime and the boy was getting agitated. "I'm gonna put him down to bed, babe." She said to her wife who stood up with a stumble. "You just sit down." She laughed.
"I need to say goodnight to my baby." The redhead slurred giving her son a kiss. "Love you baby."
Xander stopped crying.
"Fuck sake, even when you're drunk you're still able to soothe him like that." Beca laughed as she clicked her fingers, making sure her swaying wife sat back down before she disappeared inside.
Ryan stood up with a stagger, making his way round the table.
"Where are you going?" Aubrey asked, slightly annoyed by how drunk the man had gotten.
"Chloe, babe c'mere." The man slurred, leaning into his ex's ear to whisper something.
"Stop calling her that, oh my god." Aubrey whined, becoming increasingly pissed off. Her boyfriend has this habit of slipping back to calling Chloe pet names when he's drunk. If the redhead is sober, she's quick to put a stop to it but when she's also drunk…
"Aubrey, sweetheart, just ignore them. They don't have a clue what they're doing either." Cindy tried to reassure the woman beside her, stroking the blonde's hair.
"Where the fuck are they going?" Jesse asked, being sober enough to still have sense in him.
Chloe had stood up with Ryan and the pair both staggered over to the trampoline, climbing inside the netting.
Cindy closed her eyes and shook her head. "32. They're 32." She muttered as she opened her eyes again to see the pair giggling and attempting to jump on the trampoline.
"I don't like when they're drunk together." Aubrey straight up said with a shake of her head, narrowing her eyes at her boyfriend and best friend.
"Yeah they fuck and have a baby." James slurred before downing the rest of his drink.
"James." Cindy warned.
It didn't take Beca long to come back outside with a baby monitor in her hand and immediately stopped in her tracks, pointing at Chloe and Ryan on the trampoline. "I'm not even gonna ask." She laughed at her wife squealing as she drunkenly fell around. The 26 year old made her way over to where the kids were sitting instead. "What's up guys?" She asked as she took a seat next to her step-daughter.
"They're so embarrassing." Hailee whined as she wrapped her arms around Beca's waist, leaning into the woman.
"I know baby, they're idiots." The woman chuckled, soothingly stroking the girl's hair.
"Hey Beca, you know Danny was just telling us that he can rap." Ellie said, knowing it would interest Beca.
"Dude!" Daniel elbowed the girl in the arm who laughed.
"No way, that's sick!" Beca said enthusiastically. "What you got in your back pocket, kid?" She continued, placing the baby monitor beside her as she pulled out her phone.
"Aw man uh…" Danny thought for a second. "That song you're on with Machine Gun Kelly." He nodded.
"At My Best?" Beca confirmed as she scrolled through her songs on her phone.
"Yeah." The boy nodded.
"Can you show me a little?" The woman asked hopefully with a grin.
"Sure." The 13 year old agreed nervously before clearing his throat.
Beca hit play on the song but kept it low enough so it wouldn't drown out the boy.
The 26 year old's jaw dropped as soon as Daniel began rapping along.
(Song used: At My Best by Machine Gun Kelly ft. Hailee Steinfeld.)
I wrote this song as a message for help
On behalf of anybody findin' they self
I wrote this letter to numb your pain
'Cause everyday I wake up, I'm feelin' the same
I got issues just like you got issues
I been hurt, I seen the scar tissue
If I showed you, would you run away?
Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay?
Do I, even need you? Should I leave you?
Do I, gotta be you, just to please you?
Do I, say I'm all good, when I bleed you
Through my, heart? Quit tearin' mine apart
"I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared…" Beca softly sang along to a little bit of her own part before turning the song off. "Duuuude, that was awesome!"
"Thanks." He blushed as the woman threw an arm over him, pulling him into a side hug.
Hailee discreetly smiled against her step-mother's shirt. The fact Beca liked Danny, made her heart swell.
After Daniel and Ellie had gone home, Hailee just seemed to get more and more tired with her parents antics.
"They are literally the most embarrassing people ever, I swear." Hailee groaned as she watched her parents dance together, almost falling over in the process.
"When they're drunk together, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them." Cindy chuckled.
"Why?" Hailee asked curiously.
"That's why." Jesse pointed at the pair. "Beca." He grabbed the woman's attention who looked up from her phone and turned her head around.
Ryan was taking a picture of him and Chloe but his hand had subconsciously slipped down to the woman's ass.
"Hey!" Beca exclaimed as she immediately stood up, marching over to them. She grabbed a hold of Ryan's hand. "Keep your hands off my wife alright?" She tried to say as calmly as possible, not wanting to start something. "C'mere babe, I wanna show you something." The shorter woman took her wife's hand and lured her back to the table.
"Oooh!" Chloe said in excitement.
"Sit down." Beca said as she pulled her wife by the waist to sit down on her lap.
"Babe what's wrong?" Ryan slurred, placing his hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"Get away from me." Aubrey said sternly, removing his hand.
"What the fuck did I do?" The man asked in amusement, staggering away, holding his arms out.
"Ryan, behave yourself." Cindy warned.
Ryan just walked away and took a seat by the fire pit.
Everyone went silent until Hailee let out a sob.
"See, he's fucking upsetting her." Beca shook her head in annoyance.
"Hailee, honey, come here." Aubrey moved her chair back and pulled the girl onto her lap.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Cindy asked gently, stroking her granddaughter's back as the girl nuzzled into Aubrey's neck.
Beca furrowed her brow and moved her head forward to take a look at her wife, wondering how she wasn't saying anything. The redhead was actually leaning against her with her eyes closed, sleeping.
"I don't wanna go home with you guys if you're fighting." The teenager cried.
The plan was for Hailee to go home with her dad and Aubrey and spend the night there.
Aubrey glanced up at Beca.
"You want me to let him crash here? Get her away from both of them?" Beca suggested quietly to the blonde who nodded thankfully.
"You hear that? Both your mom and dad will be here tonight so it'll just be you and me. How does that sound?" Aubrey said and Hailee pulled away with a silent nod and dried her eyes. "You can steal your dad's side of the bed." The blonde offered and the girl nodded with a laugh.
"James, Taylor, are you two ready to go? It's getting late." Cindy said, looking at the pair who seemed genuinely exhausted.
They both nodded.
"We better get going too, huh?" Benji tapped on his girlfriend's shoulder who was almost falling asleep.
"I'll see you guys out, I'm gonna put her on the couch." Beca said, motioning to her sleeping wife on her lap. "Baby." She whispered as she slowly began to get up, waking up her wife as she did so.
Chloe just groaned as she held onto Beca to keep herself upright.
The brunette practically dragged Chloe inside, letting her lie down on the couch while everyone who was leaving came through.
"How are you two getting home?" Beca asked Benji who had his arm around his girlfriend who was leaning into him.
"I'll drive you home, don't worry." Cindy offered in a heartbeat.
"Thanks, Cindy." Benji smiled gratefully.
"Thank you." Emily said quietly.
"Thanks for having us, sweetheart." Cindy wrapped her arms around Beca and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Anytime." Beca smiled as she pulled away before Benji wrapped one arm around her.
"I'll see you later." The man kissed her head before letting go.
"Are you guys going too?" Beca asked as Aubrey and Hailee walked into the room.
"Yeah." The blonde nodded, following Beca and the others to the front door. "Jesse and Stacie are bringing Ryan inside. Well trying to anyway." The woman rolled her eyes.
Beca picked up Hailee's bag from the bottom of the stairs, handing it to her step-daughter. "Listen." She held the girl's face between her hands. "Don't worry about mom and dad, they'll wake up with so much regret in the morning and I'm sure they'll make it up to you, alright? I'm sure they didn't mean to get that drunk on your birthday." The 26 year old chuckled slightly, making Hailee laugh half-heartedly. "I love you." The older brunette winked, kissing the girl's forehead.
"Love you too." Hailee said, giving her step-mother a quick hug before falling everyone out of the door to the cars.
"Drive safe okay?" Beca said to Aubrey, pulling the woman in for a hug.
"Thanks for letting him stay over, I don't think I could've dealt with him tonight." Aubrey said thankfully before a heavy sigh.
"Don't worry about it." The brunette said as she let go, letting the blonde step outside. "I'll see you later guys, thanks for coming." She said to everyone, giving them a wave.
They all bid their farewells before Beca closed the door, walking back into the living room to find Jesse and Stacie pulling a blanket over her Ryan who was crashed out on the other side of the corner couch from Chloe.
"Thanks guys." Beca said. "I'd give you guys a ride home but I'm honestly not feeling coming back to my wife getting fucked by her ex." She gave them a sarcastic smile which made the couple laugh.
"Don't worry about it." Jesse said.
"I mean you guys can crash here If you like, makes sense to be honest since your car's here." The shorter brunette suggested as she perched on the edge of the couch beside her wife.
Stacie looked up at her fiance with a shrug. "We don't have to pick Ava up till 12 tomorrow so we could just leave in the morning."
"Okay." Jesse nodded.
"Chloe." Beca shook the woman awake. "Come on up to bed, you'll be much comfier." She encouraged and the redhead reluctantly got up, using her wife to hold onto.
The taller woman mumbled a few incoherent things as Beca was having to basically drag her across the room.
"Babe, you need to lift your feet."
Chloe stopped and bent over, physically trying to reach down and grab her feet.
"No, no, no, not like that." The brunette couldn't help but splutter a laugh.
"Allow me." Jesse laughed as her picked Chloe up with ease and made his way upstairs, the other two women following him.
"When was the last time she got like this?" Stacie asked Beca with a giggle as they walked up the stairs.
"Can't even remember but I'm glad she got to let her hair down a little." Beca admitted as they walked into Beca and Chloe's bedroom.
"There you go." Jesse chuckled as he put the woman down on the bed.
"Right, I'll get her ready for bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." Beca said quietly, ushering the two out of her bedroom.
"Night!" They called as they walked down the hall.
"Right you." Beca rolled her eyes and she climbed onto the bed, beginning to unbutton Chloe's jeans.
The redhead didn't say anything, she was just happily laying on her back, eyes wandering around the ceiling.
The younger woman removed her wife's jeans and just dropped them beside the bed. "Sit up, baby."
"I can't." Chloe only slurred making Beca roll her eyes with a small smile before taking hold of the woman's arms, pulling her up.
The redhead's face was only inches away from the brunette's that Beca grimaced at the strong smell of alcohol coming from her breath.
"You smell like an old bar." Beca scrunched her nose up as she pulled Chloe's shirt over the top of her head before reaching behind her and unclipping her bra.
"Are you trying to have sex with me?" The redhead slurred with a grin on her face.
"No." Beca shook her head as she laughed, pulling a t-shirt out of the drawer before climbing back on the bed.
"Why?"
"Cause you're fucking drunk, babe." The brunette laughed, trying to get the t-shirt on Chloe with great difficulty in attempt to get the woman's arms to cooperate. "Now lie down and go to sleep, you're gonna have a long ass day tomorrow." Beca kissed her wife on the lips as she gently pushed the woman to lie down.
It seemed like as soon as Chloe's head hit the pillow, she was out for the count.
I wonder if she realises that a hangover when you're 32 is definitely not the same as a hangover when you're 22...
