A/N Hello people! This will be the last chapter today; I need to stock up for a while. I'm really busy with drumline (cymbals FTW!) and school, so I won't be writing any new material until Sunday at the earliest. I'm trying to get as much as I can get done today, but we'll see. Anyways, thank you to everyone who is following this story! It means a lot! Enough of me rambling, now the story! Enjoy and review!

Beca continued on her way to her house. Every once in a while, she would glance at the charms dancing on her wrist. The ruby heart Jesse had given her for Valentine's Day sophomore year, a little yellow taxi cab, the 21 dangling off a birthday cake she had gotten when she turned 21, the little house…
Beca and Jesse pulled up to their new house in his red pickup. The moving van stopped on the street nearby as the couple admired their home.
Jesse swung his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders. "We did good, Bec."
Beca nodded. She could hardly speak. She and the love of her life will be living together. In LA! This is more than she could ever dream of. "We did, dork." She escaped his grasp and began to take boxes of the truck. "Now are you just going to stand there, or help move in?"
Jesse chuckled at her. "I'll get the boxes," He said as he took it from her arms. "You can go talk to those freaks over there." He pointed over to a car that pulled up.
"Shaw-shank!" An all too familiar voice called.
Beca beamed. "Oh my gosh, what did you do?" She gently pushed his chest in disbelief.
He chuckled at her reaction. "I thought we would need some help moving in."
Fat Amy, Chloe, Donald, Bumper, and the rest of the gang piled out of the caravan of cars parked in front of their house. There was a mess of greetings and 'I missed you' and even some questions about when they would get engaged. The latter was disregarded with a 'be patient'.
The movers unloaded the trucks and left, since there was a team on 23 year-olds to haul the furniture and many boxes inside, although instead of unpacking, it became a giant pizza party where the only seats that were readily available were either the floor or boxes.
The friends caught up- Amy and Bumper have been a thing since they graduated, and Benji finally got the nerve to ask the adorable, yet disturbing Lily out. Donald and Stacie have been dating as long as Jesse and Beca have, although Donald has proposed. When this was said, Beca made a quick glance to Jesse who replied with a wink before she raised her eyebrows and continued on with her conversation.
As much as the young couple wanted to keep their friends over, the clock hit 1 am and they all left in order to get some sleep before going to work the next morning.
"That was fun." Beca stated as she and Jesse pulled a sheet over a mattress on the floor.
"I agree." Jesse concurred. "But now it's us time." He pulled out his laptop and laid on the makeshift bed.
Beca snuggled up beside him and the Breakfast Club began to play. This was the only movie she could stay awake the whole time because, well, it was their movie.
About halfway through, Jesse paused the movie and Beca groaned opposingly. "Don't worry; it's for a good reason. I have a surprise for you." He reached into his bag and pulled out another charm.
Beca sat up on the bed with a smile and opened it. "A little house!" She said happily.
Jesse took the charm and clipped it on her wrist before holding her hands. "A home. Our home." He held her dainty fingers up to his face and kissed them. "That wasn't the only surprise though."
He released her fingers and got off the bed. He took yet another box out of his pocket, but this time kneeling in front of her, eye level since she was sitting on the bed.
Looking into her eyes, he said "Beca Mitchell, ever since I first laid eyes on you next to that taxi, I knew you would mean the world to me. We've had our ups and downs, but, in the end, we've been together forever, and I never want to let you go. Will you do the honor of becoming my wife?" Jesse opened the box to reveal a simple, white-gold ring with a small princess-cut diamond.
Beca did her best not to burst into tears, but to no avail, since as soon as she saw the ring, the waterworks began. "Yes…yes Jesse I will marry you." Jesse slide the ring on her finger with a smile as Beca tried to wipe away the tears on her face. "You're such a dork." She said with a laugh before pulling him in for a kiss.
He smiled. "Werido."
Beca, now waiting at an intersection, admired the ring that rested on her left hand before turning the corner.
