Chapter 6 is here! It's a little short but I wanted to get it out there because of the cliffhanger I left.

Also just to address the fact some people think Beca and Aubrey forgave their other halves too easily. They were adults about it, they talked it out, didn't yell at each other and weren't petty about it. Yes they were pissed about what happened, they had a little too much to drink and Beca didn't want to flip out and scare Hailee. It's not like Beca and Aubrey could've banned Chloe and Ryan from seeing each other. They didn't cheat on anyone, it was a drunken mistake, it wasn't a kiss or anything. I get why some people would put themselves in their position and think otherwise but this is them trying to have mature conversations about things and quickly move past things to focus on what's important. Thanks for reading! :)

Anyways! On with the chapter!

My Wife and Kids - Chapter 6: Beca's Girls

"Em, what the fuck did he do to you?" Beca asked with a furrowed brow at how distraught her sister was. "Cause I swear to god, I'll go over there right now." She threatened, pointing to the door.

"No, no!" Emily cried, pulling on her sister's arm before wiping her eyes.

"Well what happened?"

"Can you please just calm down for one second so I can tell you?" The younger woman pleaded, tears threatening to fall again.

Everyone knew Beca had a short fuse so getting her to listen before flying off the handle was quite a task.

The 26 year old nodded and took a deep breath.

"We've been arguing alot lately…" Emily began quietly as she relaxed into Beca's side and the older woman wrapped an arm around her. "It's been ever since he told me he wants to get married and I said I didn't. Every conversation we seem to have now just ends up in a petty argument." The 23 year old explained.

"I didn't even...I had no idea you guys weren't happy." Beca said quietly, shaking her head as she soothingly stroked Emily's hair.

"We agreed to not start anything or bring anything up in front of you guys, we didn't want to get anyone involved cause we thought we could work it out by ourselves." The younger girl said, her voice cracking a little from the tears in her eyes.

"Em you don't have to pretend like everything's okay in front of Chloe and I. Hell, everyone knows when we're fighting, you can tell us this sort of thing." The 26 year old reassured, running her hand over her sister's knee.

"No offence but you guys fight like all the time, we don't."

"Okay, a little offence taken but that's not the point." Beca nodded slowly. "So like...What happened to make you call it off?"

"Last night things got pretty heated again, we said some things and came to the conclusion of what's the point in being together if we both want different things?" Tears began to fall silently from her eyes again as she just looked at her sister.

"Shit." Beca muttered as she shook her head in disbelief. "I'm so sorry, Emily. I don't even know what to say." She said apologetically. Beca wasn't good at giving relationship advice, there was only one relationship she knew how to work and that was her own of course.

"We didn't sleep in the same bed last night, I got up this morning, packed some stuff into my car and drove over here. I know it's so unexpected but can I stay here for a while just until I figure stuff out and get back on my feet?" Emily asked hopefully as she wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand.

"Of course." The older woman said in a heartbeat. "I'll have to obviously ask Chloe as well but she'll be more than happy to let you stay." She explained.

"Thank you." The 23 year old pulled her step-sister in for a hug.

"I'm gonna go call her now so I can catch her before her flight." Beca pulled away and stood up from the couch, grabbing her phone off of the coffee table.

"Okay." Emily nodded as she moved to the floor to play with her nephew as he happily messed around with his toys.

Beca made her way into the kitchen as she called her wife.

"Hey." It didn't take long for Chloe to pick up.

"Hi baby, you free to talk?" The brunette asked as she walked aimlessly around the kitchen.

"Yeah, I'm just going to get food. What's up?"

"We kinda have a little situation." Beca said cautiously.

"Beca I've been gone for like an hour, what did you do?" The redhead sighed down the line.

"Love the faith you've got in me." She replied sarcastically. "I didn't do anything, I just need to ask you something."

"Yeah?"

"Uh, is it alright if Emily stays with us for a while?" Beca asked.

"Is everything okay?" Chloe immediately asked in concern.

"Not exactly no…" The younger woman trailed off, toying with the spare change that was on the counter. "Her and Benji broke up."

"Wait, what? No way."

"Yeah she's pretty upset about it obviously and she needs a place to stay."

"Of course she can stay here, babe. She's family." Chloe replied. "What happened between them?"

"They were fighting over marriage. Emily doesn't want to get married but Benji does and they came to like this mutual decision of breaking it off if they can't get what they both want." Beca explained sadly. "They're made for each other, Chloe, how can they just throw something like that away?"

"Relationships are complicated, babe, you know that." The redhead reminded her wife.

"I know but it's just...Ugh I don't even know, I don't want them to give up y'know? They've been together for what? 8 years?" Beca sighed, running her hand down her face. "They even did the long distance thing when Benji graduated, we didn't even do that."

"I know it's hard to take and unexpected, sweetheart, but if they came to this decision themselves then…" Chloe trailed off softly. "It might just take them some time apart to figure things out, they might find away back together in the end."

"I know, I guess you're right. I just hate seeing her so upset, this is her first breakup." The brunette balanced the phone between her ear and shoulder as she toyed with her wedding ring.

"I know, you just need to be that soft and cuddly big sister we all know you truly are at heart." The redhead giggled down the line.

Beca couldn't help but smile. "I'll do my best." She chuckled.

"Can you put her on? I want to talk to her." Her wife asked.

"Yeah, hold on." The 26 year old walked back into the living room to find Emily on the floor with Xander. "Hey, Em. Chloe wants to talk to you." She handed her phone to the younger woman as she dropped to her knees in front of her son.

As Emily began talking to Chloe, Beca lay down next to her son. "Hey buddy." She smiled and the baby automatically took hold of his mother's hand between his tiny ones.

The 26 year old looked up at her sister who was smiling softly, wiping away a stray tear. Beca grinned, her wife always knew what to say. She rolled onto her back and lifted Xander up to lie on top of her.

"Yeah." Emily nodded as she continued to listen to Chloe.

"Woah!" Beca exclaimed comically as she lifted Xander up into the air above her, making him giggle as he looked down at her.

"She's just messing around with Xander." Emily replied with a laugh.

Beca and Xander were both just giggling at each other until the boy drooled onto the woman, making her shriek as it landed right on her face.

The baby could only continue to giggle as Beca sat him on the floor next to her before she sat up herself.

"No, he just drooled on her." The 23 year old told Chloe over the phone, stifling a laugh. "Sure." She said as she pulled the phone away from her ear and put her own speaker phone.

"Beca, stop being so over dramatic." Chloe said and Beca whipped her head around, not expecting to hear her wife's voice.

"I'm sorry, when was the last time someone drooled on your face?" The brunette challenged as she wiped her forehead with a baby wipe.

"You scream bloody murder anytime he like spits up or drools on you!" The redhead couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous her wife was.

At the sound of his mother's voice, Xander reached his hand towards the phone.

"I'm not one for getting touched by bodily fluids, thank you." Beca replied.

"You're so weird." Chloe sighed with a giggle.

"I love you too." The 26 year old tried to say sarcastically but she couldn't keep a straight face.

"I'll call you, when I land." The redhead chuckled. "Don't forget to pick up Hailee, remember Ryan and Aubrey are away for the weekend."

"I'm not gonna forget to pick her up." Beca rolled her eyes. She was used to Chloe constantly reminding her of things because as much as she'd deny it, she's very forgetful.

"Alright, I'll let you guys go. I love you, babe."

"Love you too, honey." Beca replied as she stroked Xander's hair softly.

"I'll talk to you later Em, I'm sure Beca will take care of you."

"Yeah, thanks again for the talk." Emily said gratefully.

"No problem." Chloe replied. "Bye baby boy, mommy loves you!" She cooed to her son.

They all bid their farewells one last time before Emily hung up.

"Never leave that girl." The younger woman said with a small smile as she looked down at her phone.

"What did she say?" Beca asked with a grin.

"She just knows exactly how to make anyone feel better." Emily nodded.

"That's my girl." The 26 year old nodded proudly.

"Hi, sweetheart how was school?" Beca asked her stepdaughter as the 13 year old climbed into the car beside her.

"Fine." Hailee sighed.

"You alright?" The woman asked in concern as she pulled away from the curb.

"Yeah...I've got math homework and I don't understand it, the teacher just wanted me to try it anyway but I know I can't do it." The teenager mumbled with a shrug.

"Ah I know that feeling, kid. I couldn't do math to save myself in school." Beca chuckled. Both her and her wife weren't very good at math so when it came to helping Hailee with her homework for the subject, the two women usually suggested that to the girl to ask her father. "I think I've got someone who might be able to help."

The girl just furrowed her brow. "Who?"

"Emily."

"Emily's coming over?!" The girl's face lit up at the mention of the 23 year old.

Beca smiled but it quickly faded. "Uh yeah she'll actually be over for a while, her and Benji had a little argument so she's gonna stay with us till things straighten out." She explained.

"Aw man." Hailee said sadly, looking down at her hands. "Is she okay?"

"It'll take time so just don't ask her a lot about it, okay? We just gotta be there for her." Beca explained and Hailee nodded in understanding.

When the girls got home they found Emily sitting on the floor with her nephew, giggling with the little boy as they played together.

Beca's heart melted at the sight.

"You having fun with aunt Emily, baby?" She asked her son as she perched herself on the arm of the couch.

"He is." Emily giggled.

"Hi Emily." Hailee greeted with a soft smile, walking over to the woman before leaning down to give her a hug.

"Hey." The 23 year old smiled back as she hugged the teenager. She glanced over the girl's shoulder at her sister who nodded. Emily knew what she meant, she had let Hailee know what had happened.

Later on Beca was feeding Xander his dinner at his high chair while their own dinner was cooking and Emily was helping Hailee with her math homework.

"Still can't get my head around that you're a legit mom." Emily laughed at her sister. "I know you're good with Hailee but I didn't know you'd end up being able to handle a baby." She carried on, motioning to the girl next to her who was successfully completing a question she had just explained to her how to do.

Beca just turned her head with a smile. She didn't know what to say because she used to think the same as what her sister did. "Trust me I'm still learning." She eventually scoffed.

"Em, did I do it right?" Hailee tapped the woman on her arm, pushing her paper towards her.

Emily looked over the answer, a small smile appearing on her lips. "Up top, kid." She held her hand up for a high five making the girl smiling, accepting the gesture.

"I need to go to bed, I can barely keep my eyes open." Beca said in a tired voice.

It had just past 11pm, Beca and Emily had been watching a movie downstairs together but the older woman's bed was crying out for her.

"That's cool." Emily chuckled as she pulled the blanket over her a little more when her sister stood up.

"Night, kid." Beca yawned as she grabbed her phone and left the room.

"Night!" Emily called after her.

When the 26 year old got upstairs, she quickly checked to see if Xander was still sleeping before popping her head into Hailee's room.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Beca's face fell when she noticed that the girl was lying on her bed with tears in her eyes.

The teenager just shook her head.

The woman walked over to the girl's bed and sat on the edge, placing her hand on her stepdaughter's leg. "What's wrong?" She asked softly.

"Nothing. I just want mom." Hailee's voice cracked a little as she tried to hold back the tears.

"Honey I'd call her but it's too late, she'll be sleeping." Beca said sympathetically as she checked the time on her phone.

The 13 year old just took a deep breath.

"Can you tell me what happened?" The 26 year old knew something was up, she didn't think the girl was just crying because she was missing her mother.

Hailee took a second as a silence casted over them. "There's this kid at school...his name's Nate."

Beca furrowed her brow because at first she thought she was having "boy trouble" but then Danny seemed like the only boy she had a little thing for. Yes, of course her and Chloe had noticed.

"He makes fun of me all the time." The girl said quietly, holding back the tears.

The woman's blood boiled at those words but she tried to compose herself and not flip out in front of her stepdaughter.

"He says nasty things about you and mom because you're lesbians. He also makes fun of dad finding it funny how he managed to have a baby with mom without realising she was into girls." Hailee turned her head into her pillow and began to sob, making Beca's heart break for her.

"Aw, sweetheart." Beca whispered as she lay down beside the girl, softly stroking her back. "You know, people used to make fun of me when I was in school for being gay." She began softly. "But I probably dealt with it the wrong way...I didn't go to any teacher about it, I just took it until it got too much and I'd get into fights." She explained. "I don't want that to happen to you, kid. I don't want you going fighting."

Hailee lifted her head up a little to look at the woman. "What can I do then?" She asked helplessly.

"When mom gets back, we'll arrange something with your principal and get to the bottom of this because that little fucker is out of line." Beca said, deep down she wanted to go on a rampage for someone hurting her little girl but she knew what Chloe would say if she was here.

Hailee nodded.

"Try not to think about it too much, alright? We'll sort it out. Just chill out this weekend." The 26 year old rubbed her stepdaughter's back soothingly as she sat up. Herself, Chloe and Ryan were gonna fix this ASAP.

The teenager sat up and threw her arms around Beca.

"You gonna be alright?" The woman asked as she kissed the girl on the cheek as she pulled away.

"Yeah." Hailee nodded, wiping her eyes.

"Alright, just come through if you need me." Beca said as she stood up with a stretch.

"Thanks Beca." The girl said softly with a small smile.

"I got you, kid." The woman winked as she fist bumped her stepdaughter. "Goodnight." She smiled over her shoulder just as she reached the door.

"Night." Hailee returned.

Beca yawned as she walked down the hall to her own bedroom, sighing contently as she entered the room. She pulled her shirt over her head and unclipped her bra, letting them drop to the floor before grabbing Chloe's hoodie that the redhead had on this morning before pulling it on. Wearing something that smelled like her wife automatically comforted the brunette when Chloe was away from home. After pulling off her jeans, Beca climbed into bed, lying on Chloe's side which was another thing she did to comfort herself.

The 26 year old didn't admit how much Chloe being away from home tore her up. When it was the other way around, Beca was always working so she didn't think about it a lot but when she's the one home with nothing to do, it got to her head. She needed her wife.

The woman quickly took her contacts out before settling down into bed, sinking into her wife's pillow. Just as she was about to close her eyes though, her phone started ringing. She grabbed her phone and put her glasses on to read the caller ID. It was Chloe.

"Babe, are you okay?" Beca quickly answered, concerned as to why the woman was calling her at this time of night.

"Yeah." Chloe said quietly.

"Isn't it like 2am for you? Why are you awake?" The brunette asked softly.

"I can't sleep." The redhead whined before wincing in pain.

"What's wrong?" Beca furrowed her brow.

"My leg, babe. It's really sore." The brunette could hear it in her wife's voice.

"What happened to your leg?" The younger woman asked in confusion.

"Remember when I got that titanium rod put in my right leg because of that car accident years ago?" Chloe asked and Beca hummed. "Well it's hurting like a bitch."

"Is that normal? How can that happen when you've had that thing in for like 8 years?" The 26 year old was confused and concerned.

"I don't know baby, maybe I need it taken out." The redhead said.

"Do you need me to fly out? I can catch a flight tomorrow." Beca offered.

"No sweetheart I'll be fine, I just needed to hear your voice." Chloe admitted, feeling slightly at ease listening to her wife's soothing voice. "I'll call the doctor tomorrow and see what she says."

"You definitely should."

"Can you talk to me till I fall asleep?" The older woman asked quietly.

"Yeah." Beca chuckled tiredly. She was exhausted but she was needed.

"Thanks, love. You're such a babe." Chloe giggled back.

And they did just that. Their voices got slower and their replies got shorter until they both fell asleep.

Beca had a long day that day. Having to help out all her girls was a tough shift but she wouldn't have it any other way. Why? Because exactly that, they're her girls.

Beca being the rock for her girls, how sweet!

What did you guys think? Let me know! :)
