A/N: I know the ending (and just my whole last chapter) wasn't the best. I included the anti-gays because everyone knows it's a problem in this world, and I feel like the story wouldn't be realistic if EVERYONE was supporting same-sex couples. I hope you can forgive me. :)
I also need to warn that there is another shower scene in this chapter, but it's not like it's smut. It's rated T. Be mature please? lol
Jesse, Chloe, and Beca returned back to Barden no less than half an hour. Immediately when they parked near their dorms, Beca saw her two tall brunette and blonde friends waiting for them. She smiles. Stacie and Aubrey grab their belongings from the trunk, while Chloe and Jesse helped Beca back into the wheelchair. Beca hisses in pain from her hip she accidentally put pressure on. But her thoughts focus to Chloe who kneels in front of her, and looks her straight in the eyes.
"Hey, hey. Are you alright?" Chloe asks innocently, squeezing the girl's hand. She continues to stare into her eyes. Beca can't help but feel safe, especially in small intimate moments like this. She nods as the pain goes to a minimum. Chloe smiles and stands up to wheel her girlfriend back to her dorm. They enter Beca's dorm and the brunette sighs.
"Damn, I missed this place." Chloe laughs at her girlfriend's words.
Chloe packs away some of Beca's clothes and her belongings. Beca can't help but feel a little useless, because she's unable to help her girlfriend. After, Chloe sits at the foot of the bed and pulls Beca to her.
"Now, how do you feel about a shower?" Chloe asks. "I'd have to sit on the floor."
"A bath?" "I wanna shower, but I can't move a lot. And it's gonna be a lot tougher here, but I feel better cause I was tired of the nurses giving me sponge baths. That was awful." Chloe laughs.
"No more sponge baths then. And I know you can't move, silly. It's why I'll be helping you." Chloe smirked, wheeling Beca to the bathroom.
"Jesse!" Chloe yells.
"Jesse?! Hell no!" Beca immediately screeched. Chloe started to laugh as Beca struggled to wheel herself away with one arm. The boy entered the bathroom.
"Can you help me put Beca in the tub? I mean, I'd do it myself. She weighs like an ounce, but I don't wanna hurt her." Beca glares as Jesse chuckles. The two lift her gently into the bathtub, before both girls thank him and he leaves. Chloe unties Beca's hospital gown, and starts the water. Soon, the redhead strips off her gown and sits opposite into the tub thats now full with water. Beca's legs are in between Chloe's. Chloe grabs a small pail and scoops up water to pour on Beca's head. Beca sighs at the sensation. Chloe lifts Beca's legs and rests them on her thighs so she can move closer to the girl and shampoo her hair.
"Way better than a sponge bath." Beca mutters. The brunette uses her one (and only) movable arm to grab the pail and pour water on Chloe's head. Chloe giggles at Beca's words.
"We should do this more often." Chloe says. Beca nods in agreement. The redhead pours water again several times to wash out the soap from her girlfriend's hair.
Chloe soon puts conditioner in the girl's hair but after wraps it into a bun.
"What are you doing?" Beca asks. "I'm putting your hair up. My mom used to do this for me so when I took baths it wouldn't get washed out in the water right away." Chloe sighs, and shampoos her own hair. Beca leans back in the tub and watches the girl.
What did I do to deserve a girl like her? Beca thinks.
"I ask myself the same question everyday." Chloe mutters. "Wait what?" Beca stuttered, confused. What the fuck? Did she just hear my thoughts. Beca thinks again, Chloe rolls her eyes.
"You said what you were thinking about out loud." Chloe giggles as Beca's face reddens. "Oh." Is the only thing Beca manages to say.
"You're too adorable," Chloe says, gesturing Beca to move forward so she can wash her hair.
"Am not," Beca pouts. Chloe giggles kissing the tip of Beca's nose, Beca moves her head up and presses her lips to her girlfriend's. She bites the girl's bottom lip, causing Chloe to gasp. Beca takes this offer and slips her tongue into the redhead's mouth. Their tongues glide and rub against each other. Chloe cups Beca's face. After several minutes, they pull away and rest their foreheads against each others.
"I love you." Chloe whispers.
Beca smiles, "I love... shit." Beca pulls away staring at the mirror.
"Wait- what?" Chloe is a little confused. What the fuck did she just say? The redhead thinks.
"Babe, we forgot the towels and our robes." Beca says. Chloe looks up at the towel racks and laughs.
"Bree! Or Stacie! Whichever!" Chloe yells, Beca's eyes widen. "No." Beca says. "Relax, just lean forward so they don't see anything." Both of the girls lean forward so their breasts aren't shown. Aubrey and Stacie walk in. Aubrey shrieks and Stacie smirks.
"What?! What's wrong- HOLY SHIT!" Jesse screams as he enters the bathroom, smiling.
"Jesus! Just invite everyone! Go ahead! Call the rest of the bellas! It's not like I'm nude or anything." Beca sarcastically says, covering her redface. Chloe giggles.
"Guys, we forgot towels and our robes. Can one of you get them, please?" Chloe says. Aubrey is the first to leave, wanting to get out of that bathroom as soon as possible. But Stacie and Jesse just stand there at the doorway. Beca looks up and still sees them there.
"God, this is so embarrassing." Beca says.
Aubrey comes in and sets their towels on the sink. "It's funny, she acted the same way when I barged in her shower the one time." Chloe says.
"You did what?!" All three say at the same time.
"Jeez, I didn't think it was that big of a deal." Chloe says innocently, making Beca laugh. Chloe moves to stand and grabs her towel, not caring about showing her body for a few seconds to the group. Everyone becomes eye wide, except Beca.
"Oh, I'm pretty confident about all this." Chloe says, winking to Beca. "You should be." Beca replies, both girls smiling as they relive one special memory.
"Okay, no boys allowed, sorry, Jess. Can you two help me get her into her room." Jesse leaves the small room and Stacie and Aubrey help Beca stand. Stacie gasps when she sees the stitches and bruises running down her body. Chloe wraps her robe around her.
"Jesse, can you carry her to her room." Jesse laughs, and comes back in. "I knew you girls needed my help. This is a man's job."
"Which part, carrying the girl? Or getting the girl. So far, bud. You've only accomplished one of those goals." Beca says, and Chloe laughs.
"Hey! Did you forget about my girlfriend in the room?" Jesse says lifting her.
"She doesn't count. She's blond-zilla!" Beca says.
"If you weren't cripple, I'd slap you." Aubrey says. Beca rolls her eyes and the group leaves. Chloe closes the door and grabs the towel and starts to dry Beca's body, or at least the parts where it isn't covered with her fiberglass cast. They sit there in silence and Beca just stares at her.
"Thank you." Beca quietly says. "What for, baby?" The redhead asks.
"Everything's been rough with your surgery and my accident, I just- you're so strong, and you've never let me down. I couldn't ask for anyone else." Beca says, Chloe looks up at her, stopping her actions slowly. She leans forward and kisses the brunette, letting the kiss linger. Beca takes hold of the ginger's hand (using her only movable arm), intertwining their fingers. But Chloe leans forward a little more and puts pressure on Beca's rib, making the brunette yelp.
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry!" Chloe immediately stands up, pulling away from the girl. Beca grabs her hand though.
"It's alright. I- I'm fine." Beca smiles slightly. Chloe sighs, running a hand through her wet locks.
She doesn't care to put clothes on, as Beca doesn't either, and both girls get under the blankets cuddling as much as they can without hurting anyone. They both lay on their sides, gently gazing at each other as the sun sets.
"I'm sorry, again. I didn't mean to hurt you." Chloe says in the most adorable tone.
"I know you didn't. It doesn't matter to me. You shouldn't be sorry, baby. It was an accident." Beca whispers, kissing Chloe's nose.
Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. Beca groans which makes Chloe giggle.
"It's open." Chloe says, Aubrey comes in and hesitates. "Are you two naked under those sheets?"
"Do you wanna find out?" Beca smirks. Chloe giggles, and Aubrey shivers in disgust.
"Listen, we ordered chinese food, I got an extra carton of lo mein and teriyaki chicken if you two are hungry. But the Bellas are coming over for a movie, and we ordered cheese and hawaiian pizza."
"Hawaiian pizza?" Beca says. Chloe and Aubrey's jaws drop.
"You've never had hawaiian pizza?" Chloe asks and Beca shakes her head in response.
"How have you not had it! It was my favorite pizza growing up and still is! It's ham and pineapples. You're totes getting a slice."
"Pineapples? On pizza? What the fuck?" Beca laughs.
"It tastes better than it sounds, I promise you." Chloe says.
"Okay, I'll try it. But can we have a little chinese? I'm still kinda hungry."
"Of course, babe." Chloe moves, but before she can stand Aubrey stops her.
"I don't wanna see you naked twice in one day, Chloe. I'll just bring it here." Aubrey says, rushing out of the room. The couple laughs. The blonde comes back with two forks, some napkins, and the carton of lo mein. They thank the girl as she leaves and start to eat. Beca picks up her laptop and sets in between them. She goes onto Netflix and plays Grey's Anatomy.
"You watch this show? Since when?" Chloe says shocked.
"I've always watched, but they never update their shows on Netflix so I rarely watch the reruns. You watch?" Beca says with a mouth full of noodles. Chloe giggles.
"Not a lot. But I've seen episodes." Chloe smiles and they eat in silence as they watch the tv show.
Not long after they barely ate, they hear the Bellas in the living room.
"You wanna see them?" Chloe asks. Beca nods and Chloe puts on some of Beca's sweats and hoodies. Chloe dresses Beca into a tshirt and wraps a blanket around her waist, considering, she couldn't really put anything on the girl with her casts. Beca stands, leaning on Chloe. And sits in the wheelchair. But before Chloe can push Beca out, Aubrey comes in.
"Oh good, you're dressed. Well...sorta. But it'll do. Chlo, I need to talk to Beca, in private. If you don't mind." Which Chloe didn't. She exited the room and left the two alone. Beca watched the blonde move to sit on her bed in front of her.
"As you probably might know by now, the Bellas are back in the finals." Aubrey states.
"So I've heard." Beca urges the blonde to continue.
"Good, cause I want you to be back in the Bellas. I know with the accident and all, it'll be difficult. But we'll work on that. It's a choice, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. But we need you. I need you." Aubrey says. Beca smiles at the girl.
"Bree, you just have to loosen up a little with the Bellas. You're a really great friend, and you're good to my best friend, but when it came to the Bellas- it's like you became a robot. I get that the ICCA's last year was a bust for you and I'm sorry for that, but why let it take over your life?" Beca finally asks.
The blonde sighs, "My dad. He and I were never on the same page. He always travels cause of his work, and growing up I was very neglected from him. I just wish he would pay attention for once, it's like all he cares about is his work." Aubrey says.
"Hey, listen. My dad was never there for me either. My mom- she died when I was fourteen. I don't know if Chloe told you or not. But he never even bothered to help me until now. He left my family when I was little, and now it's like we're strangers. I'm only going to Barden, cause I promised my mom a degree before she died, and well, this was my only option. I wish I had the families like in the movies, but we're not a movie. I know what it feels like... I'd love to come back in the Bellas. I miss the girls anyway." Beca admits.
Aubrey smiles, she stands and wheels the girl outside.
"Okay, now that ALL the Bellas are here. Let's start this movie." Aubrey says and everyone squeals, happy that Beca is back in the Bellas. Especially Chloe.
A week later, Jesse was dropping off Beca to the Bellas practice room from physical therapy. Today was harder than usual, which made Beca more stressed. The girl hadn't seen Chloe all day and was looking forward to it, but as the building came into view, Beca yelled.
"St- Jesse, stop. Stop!" Beca squeezed her eyes shut, a grip on the arm rests' wheelchair. Jesse kneeled in front of the girl, trying to figure out what was wrong. Beca started to shake slightly, and her breathing intensified. The girl leaned her head into her lap as she lived through the panic attack. Once she started to calm, she looked up.
"I'm sorry, I'm just." Beca sighs, running a hand through her hair. Jesse chuckles. "Always giving me a god damn heart attack." Beca laughs. Jesse pulls her away from the building.
"What? Where are we going?" Beca asks, looking back to the building her girlfriend is currently in. He wheels her to the next corner, entering the small cafe with the frozen yogurt you can make yourself. Beca laughs.
"Dude, I gotta get back-" "That can wait. We haven't had lesbro time. Now, you don't have a say in where we go right now. So enjoy this while it lasts and pick your flavor."
Twenty minutes later, Jesse and Beca finished their yogurt and headed back to the building. As they approached the building, Beca stopped him.
"Wait, can I walk this one?" "Beca, it's only been a week-" "I know. I know. But that's what we were working on today in therapy." He sighs.
"If you break your hip again-" "Jesse." Beca warned. She stood from the chair. Her balance was a little off, and she was limping, but still slightly able to walk. She made it to the door and Jesse ran over to open it. The Bellas looked over and saw the man holding it open and were slightly confused. Until they saw a limping Beca, covered in a few casts, holding on to the walls. Everyone cheered her on. Beca couldn't wipe the smile off her face. Chloe ran over and wrapped her arms around Beca's waist.
"I'm so proud of you!" Chloe squeals, holding her steady so she wouldn't fall. Jesse grabs the wheel chair from outside and brings it back in for Beca to sit. The boy walks over to his blonde girlfriend and kisses her before explaining why they were late.
"She was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago, babe." Aubrey argues. "I know, but it's my fault. As we were coming to the building she had a panic attack. Her third one in a week and a half, I might add. She's been stressed with everything. And I just wanted to give this to her." Jesse states, the blonde sighs.
"Break!" Aubrey yells, and everyone sighs, immediately sitting. Chloe wheels Beca over to the bleachers and they talk about the therapy session. Chloe, of all people, knows how stressed Beca's been, especially since the crash, and she's been trying to be the optimistic girlfriend for the brunette so she won't add to the stress.
"Babe, can I ask you something?" Beca says shyly.
"Anything." Chloe smiles, and the brunette sighs. "We've been together for a while now, and I was wondering if you want a proper introduction t-to my parents. I'm planning to fly out to visit my grandparents, but I've been meaning to ask if you w-wanna meet my mom, too. I mean, I know you've probably seen my dad around and a-all, and he wants me to go to a dinner in a day, but I want you to come with me. But you don't have to if you don't want to. This was rushed, I'm sorry. Just forget I as-" Beca was cut off by a pair of soft lips. Chloe smiles into the kiss and mutters, "I'd love to do all that with you. Everything. It wasn't rushed, I've been with you for more than two months now, it's perfect timing. I love you so much." Chloe squeals, pressing her lips to he girlfriend's again.
"Jesus christ, do you two ever stop kissing?" Aubrey yells.
