Here's chapter 5 for you guys! Hope you guys are sticking around because I'm definitely not ready to let this story go yet!
My Wife and Kids - Chapter 5: Apologies and Break Ups
"Oh, you're awake." Beca walked into the bedroom in the midst of tying her hair up to find her wife looking at her with a groggy expression, her head still lying on the pillow.
Chloe just groaned. "What time is it?" She said with a hoarse voice.
The brunette just watched her wife as she walked over to her nightstand to pick up her watch. "8." She said before looking at the redhead again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" The older woman asked.
"Like what?"
"I don't know." Chloe could only whine. Her head was hurting too much to think straight.
"Stacie and Jesse just left about 5 minutes ago." The 26 year old mentioned.
"They stayed the night?" The 32 year old asked and her wife nodded.
"Your boyfriend left before I even woke up though." Beca said before disappearing into the bathroom, reaching into the medicine cabinet.
Chloe could tell by the tone of Beca's voice that she was taking a dig. She sat up in the bed and narrowed her eyes. "What?" Was all she asked.
The brunette walked out of the cabinet with her meds in her hand, grabbing her bottle of water from her nightstand. "Ryan." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world before placing her pills in her mouth.
"Stop that. Why are you pissed?" Chloe sighed.
"Oh you know, just the fact I couldn't even drive my friends home last night because I was afraid I'd come home to find you riding your ex." Beca shrugged with a fake laugh.
"What the fuck are you even talking about?" The redhead snapped, pissed at the fact Beca actually let those words leave her mouth.
"When you two are drunk together, that's what I'm talking about, Chloe!" The brunette exclaimed, forcefully placing her water bottle back where it was.
The older woman internally cringed. She couldn't remember much of last night. "What happened?" She asked calmly, hoping her wife would match her volume.
"He was all over you." Beca said with an exasperated sigh, climbing onto the bed.
"Well why didn't you stop him?"
"It was all innocent up until he grabbed your ass. Trust me, I would've kicked off if Hailee wasn't there because I didn't want to upset her, she was already pissed off at the two of you." The brunette explained.
Chloe literally cringed this time, not just internally and covered her face with her hands. "I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to get that drunk. But now I feel so shady for making Hailee feel like that."
"Aubrey was at breaking point with Ryan so I let him crash here so she could take Hailee. I just wanna know why the asshole left without even apologising."
"Beca, he probably doesn't even realise what he's done wrong." The redhead said.
"Yeah, just stick up for him." Beca said sarcastically as she stood up from the bed with an eye roll. "He knows fully well he's still got feelings for you, he just doesn't show it till he gets hammered." She said, pointing at her wife as she walked towards the door.
"Don't be like that, Beca." Chloe called after her in frustration. "Fuck sake." She muttered to herself, letting her head fall back onto the pillow.
Beca walked along the hall to her son's room.
"Hey buddy, you finally awake?" She asked in amusement as she approached his crib, looking down to find him reaching up for her with a smile. "Aww you're smiley this morning, baby." The woman laughed as she reached down and scooped him up.
Beca placed him down on his changing table and proceeded to change his diaper. "You excited to see grandma and grandpa today?" She asked.
John and Kat had offered to take Xander for the day to spend some time with him.
Just as Beca was about to fasten the new diaper, Xander tried to roll over. Something he had learned to do and loved to do.
"Woah there, don't want you tumbling off the edge, little dude." The woman chuckled, holding her hand on the boy's stomach to stop him trying it again.
Beca got him dressed and took him downstairs to have some breakfast.
"Can we talk?" Chloe asked as she walked into the kitchen, giving her son a kiss as he sat in his high chair. "Like a proper adult conversation?"
"Well can we take him to my dad's first?" Beca asked, motioning to their son.
You could cut the tension with a knife.
"Mhm." The redhead hummed as she poured herself a cup of tea.
"Are you just staying here while I drop him off?" The younger woman asked, noticing her wife was still just in a t-shirt and underwear.
Chloe just nodded as she gently blew her tea. "I'll call Hailee, I need to apologise to her." She said quietly, leaning against the counter as she nursed her mug.
Once Beca had dropped Xander off, she made a stop at Aubrey and Ryan's first. She rung the doorbell and Aubrey was the one to answer the door.
"Beca, hey." The blonde said in surprise, letting the brunette step inside.
"Hey, sorry for randomly coming over, I just wanted to see how Hailee was doing." Beca explained, watching Aubrey close the door.
"No problem, she's on the couch watching a movie with Ryan." The older woman said, motioning towards the living room.
"Oh so he actually managed to get home." Beca laughed, following Aubrey down the hall. "What's up, kid?" She said and Hailee turned around in surprise.
"Beca? What're you doing here?" The girl asked as the woman walked up to the back of the couch and placed her hands on her shoulders.
"Just came to see how you were doing. Did mom call you?" Beca asked.
"Yeah, she apologised for last night, so did dad." Hailee smiled up at the man she was leaning against.
"Good, good." The 26 year old nodded, glancing at Ryan.
"Hey, Beca? Can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?" Ryan asked and Beca nodded, following him into the other room.
The woman folded her arms across her chest.
"I just wanna say I'm so sorry for everything that happened last night." The man said seriously, scratching the back of his neck. "Aubrey told me what happened and I was so out of line, I disrespected her, you and Chloe and that wasn't right." He admitted. "I swear I'll never let myself get into that state around Chloe again."
"Thanks for apologising, dude. It's just you two sober, I can trust, I love how you guys have managed to stay so close for Hailee. But when you both get drunk, it freaks me out ever since that time when Chloe and I were first dating." Beca said honestly and Ryan nodded, understanding what she was getting at.
"I know, I get that. I don't wanna fuck things up or be the reason for fights so I promise it won't happen again. No hard feelings?" He offered the woman his hand.
"No hard feelings." She echoed, accepting his hand.
Chloe was the reason Beca was able to talk about things and not go in shouting and screaming to fix situations. That influence Chloe had on her was a god send because now she could sort things out in a civilised manner...Most of the time anyway.
Beca came home to find Chloe in the kitchen, sitting at the breakfast bar with her laptop. She walked up behind her wife and slipped her arms around her, resting her chin on her shoulder.
"What're you doing?" The brunette asked quietly as Chloe leaned into her.
"Answering emails." The redhead sighed. "I need to head out to New York at the weekend." She said, taking one hand away from the keyboard to stroke her wife's arm that was around her.
Beca just nodded. Although Chloe's career didn't involve quite as much travelling as her own did, she still fully understood that she still had to go out of town for a few days at a time.
"Sorry again about last night, babe." The redhead said, her voice just above a whisper.
"Don't worry about it, I spoke to Ryan. I'm sorry for being a little petty this morning." The younger woman also apologised, placing a kiss on her wife's cheek.
Chloe sighed contently with a smile on her face, relaxing into Beca's arms even more. "You smell good." She commented, the sweet scent of her wife's perfume filling her nostrils.
"Thanks." The brunette smiled. "Wish I could say the same about you but you still smell like an alcoholic." She chuckled, earning herself a slap on the arm.
"Very funny...I'm just about to go in the shower." The older woman playfully rolled her eyes.
"You know something babe?" Beca unwrapped her arms from Chloe and began gently massaging her shoulders instead.
"What?" The redhead went back to typing out her reply on the laptop.
"You're quite the horny drunk, did you know that?" The 26 year old asked in amusement.
"So I've been told." Chloe played along with a smirk.
"You told me outside last night that if no one was outside, you'd fuck me right there and then." Beca leaned down and spoke into her wife's ear.
"Oh I remember that." The 32 year old giggled. "It's because you looked so hot." She admitted, reaching for the woman's hand that was resting on her shoulder.
"Mmm." Beca hummed with a smirked as she leaned down and took Chloe's earlobe gently between her teeth.
"What're you doing?" The older woman asked in amusement, grinning as she felt her wife's tongue on her ear.
The brunette slowly moved her hand, grazing it over the redhead's breast. "Take a guess." She chuckled in a low voice.
"Hmm, make up sex?"
"It was barely a fight, weirdo." Beca laughed as she spun her wife's stool round so she was facing her.
Chloe just rolled her eyes as she reached up and pulled Beca down by her neck, roughly kissing her.
The younger woman smirked into the kiss at her wife's eagerness, placing her hands on the woman's bare thighs. She swiftly pulled away from the kiss, attaching her lips to the redhead's neck instead.
Now Beca was never usually the one to give Chloe a hickey, it was normally the other way around but after everything last night, Beca had a sudden urge to do it as she sucked hard on the redhead's skin.
The 32 year old gasped in surprise which turned into a soft moan.
The younger woman soothingly ran her tongue over Chloe's skin as she reached down and wrapped the redhead's legs around her waist. She wrapped her arms around Chloe and lifted her onto the counter.
Beca stood between her wife's legs, running her fingertips up and down the woman's thighs as she looked up at her with a smile.
"You're so pretty." The older woman grinned, running her hand through her wife's hair.
"I've got nothing on you, babe." Beca scrunched up her face in the most adorable way with her charming little smile.
Chloe giggled as she pushed her wife's leather jacket off of the woman's shoulders. "Shut up." She playfully rolled her eyes.
The 26 year old just tossed her jacket onto the stool before pulling her wife back into a kiss, almost immediately slipping her tongue into her mouth. She slipped a hand slowly up Chloe's shirt, running her thumb gently over the woman's nipple.
Chloe smirked against Beca's lips as she arched her back a little more into her wife's touch.
The brunette ran her hand up Chloe's thigh before teasingly dragging the back of her finger over her underwear, making the redhead pull away from the kiss for a split second as she inhaled sharply.
"Don't tease." The 32 year old warned as she pulled away, Beca trying to lean back into the kiss. She kissed her wife softly on the cheek before leaning in close to her ear, her hot breath giving Beca goosebumps. "Fuck me hard and I'll do you in the shower." She whispered in a sultry tone before gently taking her earlobe between her teeth.
"Offer accepted." Beca laughed, grabbing onto her wife's waist.
Chloe smirked as she placed a trail of soft kisses along her wife's jaw before reaching her lips.
The brunette wasted no more time as she begins rubbing the redhead's clit through the fabric of her underwear, loving the way the woman was responding.
Chloe's hips were gently rocking against Beca's touch, softly moaning into the kiss every now and then. "Fuck me." She whispered against the younger woman's lips.
Beca hummed in appreciation, running her tongue over her lips as she pulled Chloe closer to the edge of the counter. She didn't even bother pulling her underwear down, she just pulled them to the side and started running her fingers through her wife's folds.
The redhead gasped when the shorter woman caught her clit with her finger. "Baby." She moaned softly, pulling Beca closer to her to nuzzle into her neck.
"Shit." The brunette laughed breathily, melting at the way Chloe moaned. "You ready?" She asked.
"Mhm." The older woman hummed, her chest already heaving in anticipation.
Beca entered Chloe with one finger at first, eliciting a sweet moan from the redhead.
The older woman began kissing her wife's neck as the brunette continued her task at hand as she added a second finger to the mix.
"Go faster, babe." The 32 year old said against Beca's neck.
The 26 year old was quite surprised by how quick Chloe was getting off but she certainly wasn't complaining.
"Look at me." Beca said and Chloe obeyed, locking their lust filled eyes together. "God, you're so hot." She smirked as she curled her fingers, making the redhead cry out as she hit her g-spot.
"Keep going." The older woman whimpered, writhing against Beca's touch.
Beca picked up the pace as much as her arm would let her before Chloe tumbled over the edge with a loud, drawn out moan.
"You good?" The younger woman asked in amusement as the redhead tried to catch her breath once Beca had withdrawn her fingers.
"Mmmm." Chloe hummed with a nod and she hopped down from the counter once she had composed herself. "Come upstairs." She whispered with a wink, kissing her wife on the cheek before leaving the room, Beca quickly following her.
After their very satisfying shower, the girls changed into something a little more comfortable. They were both only in their underwear and socks, and Beca was wearing one of Chloe's t-shirts while the redhead was wearing her wife's oversized Batman hoodie. When they both started living together, it didn't take Chloe long to pick up Beca's no pants habit.
"How are you still tired? You were sleeping for ages." Beca teased her wife who was lying down on the couch with her feet in the brunette's lap. Her eyes were closed but she was still awake.
Chloe gave her wife the middle finger. "I'm hungover, leave me alone."
"You're showing your age, babe." Beca laughed as she went back to scrolling through her Instagram feed.
The older woman didn't let her get away with that dig though as she kicked the brunette in the thigh.
"Ow! Fuck sake Chloe." Beca couldn't help but laugh though as she rubbed her thigh.
Chloe smirked as she sat up a little to pull her hood over her head.
"Switch sides, I'd rather your head than your feet." The 26 year old said pleadingly.
"Oh my god, what is your issue with feet?" Chloe huffed as she reluctantly switched ends, using Beca's lap as a pillow instead.
"They just freak me out, toes are weird." The brunette shuddered.
"I have socks on!" The 32 year old protested, looking up at her wife, lifting one of her legs up in the air to prove her point.
"Shhh." Beca tried not to laugh as she pressed her finger against Chloe's lips.
"Don't shhh me." The redhead laughed, taking a hold of her wife's hand.
The younger woman pulled Chloe's hood down over her eyes. "You're so cute." She giggled.
"You always go into one of your annoying little moods when I want to sleep." The redhead pouted, slipping her hands into the pocket of the hoodie.
"You're not sleeping now cause you'll be up all night." Beca said knowingly, tapping her wife on the nose.
"Shut up, mom!" Chloe joked with a scoff.
"You're an idiot." The younger woman shook her head as she picked up her phone again. She absentmindedly slipped her hand into Chloe's hood, softly stroking her cheek and toying with her earlobe soothingly.
"Hmm that's not gonna keep me awake." The 32 year old hummed as she let her eyes flutter shut at Beca's comforting actions.
Later on was when John and Kat came over with Xander. He was getting a little grumpy and it just seemed like he was missing his mothers so they brought him back a little early.
John unlocked the door and let his wife walk in first who was holding the baby.
"I swear to fucking god, I'm filing for divorce like right now!"
The couple immediately turned to each other in shock as they heard their daughter yell from the living room. They quickly made their way into the other room to find the two women on the couch, Beca threatening to hit Chloe with a pillow.
The redhead was almost in tears laughing at her wife, pushing the pillow away.
"What is going on in here?" Kat asked in amusement, making the girls stop and turn around.
"She threw a red shell at me just as I was about to cross the finish line!" Beca protested, pointing at the TV screen, showing that they were just playing Mario Kart.
"And how old are you two again?" John asked jokingly as he went to sit down on the couch.
"Quit being such a baby." Chloe laughed at her wife.
Beca just stuck her tongue out at the woman which just made the redhead do the exact same thing back.
"Right kids, we've brought your own kid back." Kat chuckled as she took a seat next to Chloe and Xander immediately started reaching out for his mother with a whine.
"What's the little grumpy face for?" Chloe said in a baby voice as she took hold of her son, giving him a kiss before holding him close and he settled.
"Hi baby." Beca greeted the little boy as she gently stroked his hair. "How was he?" She asked her parents.
"Awesome but he started to get a little restless as time went on, think he just wanted his mommies." John smiled at his daughter.
"Are you gonna be alright alone with him when I'm in New York over this weekend?" Chloe asked her wife, turning to the woman as she sat Xander in her lap, holding onto his chubby little hands.
"Of course, right buddy? We can look after ourselves." The brunette tickled the baby under his chin making him giggle.
"Plus we're always here if you needed us." Kat reassured.
"Yeah. We'll be fine, babe." Beca smiled at her wife, sweeping the redhead's hair over her shoulder.
Chloe winked at the woman with a nod.
"You girls are always half naked when we come over here." Kat shook her head with a laugh, motioning to the girls' bare legs.
Beca and Chloe just looked at each other with a shrug and giggle.
Once Kat and John had left, Beca was in the kitchen cooking dinner while Chloe was lying on the couch with a sleeping Xander on her chest.
The redhead had her hand on her son's back as she tiredly smiled at him, feeling her eyelids become heavy as she let them close, deciding to just rest her eyes for a minute.
Beca was singing along to the radio in the kitchen as she proceeded to make her signature mac and cheese that was perfect for her hungover wife.
"Babe?!" She called through.
When there was no answer, Beca furrowed her brow and made her way into the room.
"Chloe?" The brunette tried again, noticing her wife's eyes were closed but there was no response again. She just rolled her eyes, pulling out her phone as she snapped a picture of the adorable sight before her. With adding a cute caption of 'Loves of my life.' she uploaded it to Instagram.
Friday.
The end of the week flew in which meant Chloe was heading across the country for a few days. Beca had just pulled up at the drop off at the airport which they had made their way to after dropping Hailee off at school.
Beca and Chloe both got out of the car, ignoring the paparazzi that had already spotted them.
The redhead went to Xander's window and leaned inside to kiss him goodbye while the brunette pulled her wife's suitcase out of the trunk.
"Will you be alright?" Beca asked when Chloe came around to meet her.
"Yeah." The older woman nodded, wrapping her arms around her wife's waist. "Drive safe, remember."
"I will. Call me when you land." They shared a short but sweet kiss before pulling away. "I love you."
"Love you too, baby." Chloe winked before she went on her way.
Beca wasted no time getting back into the car before the paparazzi hounded her. Before she drove off though, she got a text from Emily.
[From: Emily]
Can I come over?
[Sent at 9:10am]
She furrowed her brow because it was so early but she sent back a text telling her sister that of course she could come over. And with that Beca made her way home.
The 26 year old stood up and made her way to the front door when the doorbell rang. Her face automatically fell with concern as she opened the door to her step-sister who had clearly been crying.
"What's wrong, kid?" She asked softly, ushering the younger woman inside.
Emily exhaled a shaky breath as she walked into the living room, Beca hot on her heels.
"Emily what is it?" The 26 year old took a hold of her sister's hand as they both sat down on the couch.
"Benji and I broke up." Emily finally rushed out.
"You what?" Beca asked in disbelief, searching the woman's glassy eyes.
The 23 year old couldn't hold back the tears as she broke down and began to cry, shaking her head.
Beca's heart broke for her sister as she pulled her close to her, allowing her to cry into her shoulder. She honestly didn't know what to say. She was at loss for words. She most definitely didn't expect this to happen...
Apologies for the cliff hanger!
Next chapter We'll understand Emily's situation and plus we get a weekend with Beca and the kids!
Any little ideas/moments let me know :)
