*One Month Later*
"Beca hurry up! You're gonna make us miss our flight!" Chloe yelled as she waited for Beca to come down the steps.
"Chloe we'll get there in time I promise okay! I'm coming."
"We've still gotta pick up, my mom, John and Riley. We've gotta get on the rode now."
Beca ran down the steps with her bags. "Let's go!"
Chloe sped down the road to get to Sam's house so she could get Laura. What would normally have been a half an hour ride turned into a twenty minute ride. She anxiously beeped the horn and stopped when Laura's head peaked out the door and told her to stop beeping. Beca looked at Chloe and grabbed her hand.
"You okay babe?"
Chloe nodded. "Yeah.. I'm fine." She bit her lip and turned away. Beca knew that as a sign of lying.
"You're my wife you know, so I know when you're lying.. You should just tell me the truth while we are still alone.."
Chloe sighed and nodded. "Caleb is gonna be there.. mom told me, he is staying at my old house in Atlanta and he'll most likely be at your parents house since we'll all be there.. we haven't talked since before the wedding."
"I don't think that's something you need to stress about, I know it's been a while but he's your brother and I'm sure he misses you and you miss him, it has to happen eventually."
Chloe nodded. "You're right. It does have to happen eventually.. I just... I don't know what to say."
"I felt that way about John.. when we first really got in contact I didn't know how to react or what I wanted to say to him, but when the time comes.. you'll know."
Chloe nodded and was about to say something but Laura walked into the car. "Hey daughters! How are you guys?" She sensed some tension and the smile she had went down a bit. "Is everything okay?"
Chloe smiled at her mom and nodded. "Yeah, I was just worried about seeing Caleb but Beca helped me out." Chloe quickly started the car and drove off in the direction of Riley and John's house. When they got there they saw an annoyed looking Riley and John and an upset looking Rachel.
"It's Thanksgiving! You guys just can't leave me! We're a family."
Riley looked at her mom with frown. "We're only a family because you lied. Once you got caught in that lie you left us, you think you could just come and go as you please now? Dad told you last month he was done after the stunt you pulled with Beca, you left again.. now you think you can come here two days before Thanksgiving and expect us to have a family meal? Fuck that, I'm going with my sister and my father and spending Thanksgiving with my sisters family and friends.
"Riley don't talk to me like that and you will be staying here whether you like it or not. Fuck Beca.. Fuck Chloe. Fuck their family! This is mine... I came all the way down here for you guys and this is the thanks I get? Hell no! You two are gonna march your asses inside that house, call Beca and tell her you will be staying here for Thanksgiving."
Beca quickly got out of the car and made her way to the scene unfolding. "Or you know you could back the hell away from my family and let them do what they want before I walk over to you and fuck you up!"
John looked at Beca and saw how angry she looked. "Rebeca.."
"How dare you say what you said about my family. You're the one that screwed us over, fuck YOU!" She was now practically face to face with Rachel. "You have ruined so much in the past Rachel, but I won't let you ruin this. My father and sister are coming with me to Atlanta and we will be enjoying our Thanksgiving as a blended family. You... I honestly don't give a fuck what you do on Thanksgiving, but whatever it is won't include them." She took a deep breath and motioned for John and Riley to follow her to the car.
As they walked away Rachel reached out and grabbed John's arm. "John please..."
John looked at Rachel and sighed. "Stop it Rachel, we planned this months ago, we're going." He yanked his arm away and got in the car. Riley looked back at her mom and gave her a sad smile before entering the car. Rachel watched with tears in her eyes as the car drove away.
The car ride was quiet as Chloe drove to the airport. John looked at Beca and sighed. "You know you didn't have to s-"
"Didn't have to say what John? Everything I said was true and for her to have the nerve to just show up after disappearing again for a month and saying those things about me and my family.. about Chloe.. She's lucky I didn't knock her ass out."
"Rebeca..."
"No dad.. no! She took away all my holidays with you I think I deserve at least one." Beca's voice cracked on the last part.
John sighed and reached over to grab Beca's hand. "I get where you are coming from sweetheart.. I'm sorry I never got to spend the holidays with you."
Beca nodded and turned her head not wanting them to see her get emotional. "It's fine."
Chloe pulled up to the airport before anything else could be said and Beca quickly jumped out the car. The moment her feet met the pavement cameras started flashing.
Beca how are you?
Beca over here! I heard you've got a new single with Chloe coming out is it true?
Hope you enjoy your holiday break Beca.
Beca looked at the guy and smiled. "Thank you for not hounding me and genuinely wishing me a happy holiday."
The guy took a picture of her and winked. "No problem, I'm sure it's stressful having to deal with this, but this is our job and well we need to pay the bills, but I can spear some change to make you happy."
Beca smiled. "I'll pay a bill or two for you right now." She leaned closer to him so only he could hear her. "I've got a single coming out in two months, it'll feature Chloe and BOOTS. The song will be called dreams and I'm really proud of it."
The guy's eyes widened. "Wow... You, Chloe and BOOTS! That'll be a hit for sure! Thank you for that.."
"No problem man.." She started walking away with everyone. "I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy the holidays too."
"Thank you Beca and I look forward to hearing 'Dreams' enjoy your trip!"
Beca smiled and nodded before walking away and catching up with her family. Chloe grabbed Beca's hand with a smile. "That was nice."
"What was?"
"What you did for that guy.. I heard you."
Beca smiled. "Oh.. yeah.. everyone else was just blurting things out.. being nosy, but he just wanted to wish me a happy holiday and take a picture, so I figured I'd help him out, I guess I'm feeling the holiday spirit."
Chloe grinned. "You must be." She kissed their joined hands and winked at Beca. "Let's go home."
When they got off the plane a few hours later they were immediately ambushed by paparazzi. Beca sighed and grabbed onto Chloe and Riley's hand before speed walking out of the airport, Laura and John close behind. They got into the car waiting for them outside and all sighed.
"I don't think I'll ever get use to that."
Beca laughed and looked at Riley. "You won't, I still haven't." Beca looked out the window and smiled as they drove around her old neighborhood, all the places she hadn't seen in over a year. She grinned as the car pulled up to Chloe's old house. "I haven't seen this place in years!"
Laura laughed. "You should come in with Chloe and stay for a bit."
Chloe nervously bit her lip and looked at her mother. "Actually I was gonna stay with Beca at her parents house..."
Laura frowned. "Why?"
"Well for starters she's my wife and I like being with her like all the time and we kinda sorta want John to stay here."
John looked at them. "What?"
Beca sighed. "I think it'd be awkward for you to stay at our house... you know with mom and dad there."
"I use to live there you know.."
"That would only make it more awkward... look I just don't want any arguments and I think it'd be best that you stayed here in Chloe's room."
John sighed and nodded. "Alright.. Fine, I'll stay as long as it's okay with Laura."
Laura nodded. "It's fine John.. I just wish they would have told me beforehand. I would have asked Caleb to move some of Chloe's things."
"It's fine Laura, thank you for allowing me to stay."
Beca smiled. "Good, now that that is settled we'll be on our way. After we settle in we'll come here and chill with you guys for a bit."
John and Laura nodded as they got out of the car. "See you later."
Beca, Chloe, and Riley said bye and the driver drove them to Beca's parents house.
Beca smiled as she walked up the steps to her house. "I haven't been here in so long.. it feels weird." She looked over at the porch swing. "Do you remember that?"
Chloe looked at it and nodded. "That's where we became official. Your dad came out and asked us what was going on between us and at that moment we both silently agreed to each other that we were together."
Beca smiled. "One of the best days of my life."
Riley grinned "That's so cute!"
They walked straight into the house and their smiles instantly turned into frowns when they heard Melissa and Tom arguing.
"I'm not making a big deal out of this Mel.. I just hate that he is gonna be staying here!"
"Beca and her father have been getting along Tom, they want to spend Thanksgiving together I wasn't gonna tell him he couldn't come. I kept him away from Beca her whole life."
"He could stay at a fucking hotel Melissa! And he had a choice to be in her life, he just decided to leave and never return."
Beca sighed and walked into the room. "You know it's rude to talk about people behind their backs."
They both turned their heads and looked at Beca. "I-I'm sorry Bec."
"It's fine dad."
"Where's your fa- John.. Where's John?"
"I knew you'd have a problem with him being here so I asked him to stay with Laura.. Riley is here though so I hope it's not a problem."
Tom let out a sigh of relief. "Riley is fine.. I love Riley."
Riley walked in with a small smile. "That's good to know.. I was scared to walk in here."
Tom sighed. "I'm sorry I said those things about your father."
"It's fine Tom, I understand you feel a certain way about him."
Tom nodded and hugged Beca and Chloe before walking out the room. Melissa smiled at the girls and hugged all three of them. "How are you girls."
"We're fine mom, had a little trouble, but nothing major."
"What was the trouble?"
Riley sighed. "My mom.. she tried to make me and my dad stay."
Melissa shook her head. "That Rachel.. always trying to get her way..."
Riley sat down and looked at Melissa. "Did you know her well, before she uh.. you know.."
Melissa nodded. "I did.. she worked at the pub your father and I use to go to, we quickly became friends. I noticed she had a crush on John so I kinda stopped talking to her and well I guess I was right.. I should've figured they ran off together when she stopped working at the place the same time he left."
Riley nodded. "I'm sorry.. I ruined your life."
Melissa sat next to Riley and grabbed her hand. "You didn't ruin my life.. I was very happy with John, but clearly there was someone else I was meant to be with.. It was almost love at first sight when I met Tom. We were great from the start, it was a cherry on top when Beca connected with him immediately. All of this was a blessing in disguise i'd say.. as much as I didn't want to like you I do, you're amazing and your what Beca wanted her whole life. We wouldn't have you if that hadn't of happened."
"Yeah but we're all grown up now."
"Doesn't matter, Beca still takes care of you doesn't she?"
Riley looked at Beca with a grin thinking about all the times Beca helped her. "Yeah she definitely does.. Beca always took care of me but I think she took it up a notch when she found out we were sisters."
Beca nodded. "I did."
"So what are you guys' plans for dinner? I could whip something up real quick."
Beca shook her head. "We're going to Laura's.. she didn't want us to leave."
Melissa sighed. "Aww.. she lives in LA, she can see you guys whenever..."
Chloe nodded. "Yeah you're right.. maybe we should tell her we're staying."
Melissa shook her head. "Or Tom and I could come with you guys and eat dinner there."
"Will Tom be okay with eating in the same room as John?"
Beca laughed. "It will be practice for Thanksgiving."
Tom walked in hearing what Beca said. "What will practice for Thanksgiving?"
"We're going to Laura's for dinner."
Tom's eyes widened. "No... you guys go, I'll stay here and order a pizza."
Melissa frowned. "Stop acting like a child Thomas. You'll have to do it on Thanksgiving anyway."
Tom sighed. "I hate this." He said as he walked away.
Everyone was sitting at the dinner table in silence, the tension in the air was strong and Beca couldn't take it. "Jesus can you two just grow up!" Everyone looked at Beca with wide eyes. Chloe grabbed Beca's hand.
"Baby.. sit down.."
"No! You two are grown ass men and the both of you are my father. You guys need to work your shit out before you both lose me, permanently!" She walked out of the room leaving everyone else in the room speechless. Chloe looked in the direction Beca had just walked and stood up. She looked at everyone sheepishly.
"Uh.. sorry.. she's a bit stressed... I'm just gonna.." She nodded her head in the direction Beca went and quickly walked to where she was. She walked into her old room and saw Beca sitting on the bed staring into space. "Bec?"
Beca looked up at Chloe with a small smile. "Hey.."
Chloe walked over to her and sat down. "You okay?"
Beca nodded. "Yeah, I just... I guess that was bubbling up inside me and I could like cut the tension with a knife. It was so awkward sitting with them, I just wish they'd get over it. I mean John has done nothing to Tom and Tom has done nothing to John.. it's just their dumb male egos and it's annoying as fuck! I just want them to get over whatever they got going on in their heads."
Chloe nodded and grabbed Beca's hand. "Maybe the three of you need to sit down and have a talk one of these days."
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I did plan on telling everyone we were buying a house in Atlanta but now I'm not so sure."
"I think we should still tell them."
Beca sighed. "I know.. I guess we should go back out there."
Chloe kissed Beca and smiled. "Only when you're ready."
"I'm ready."
They walked back into the kitchen and was surprised when they heard everyone making small talk. "H-Hey guys."
"Hey glad you guys decided to come back."
Beca nodded. "I uh I needed to calm down."
Tom looked at Beca with a sad smile. "Bec I'm sorry... John and I will talk and we'll be better. I promise."
Beca looked over at John who nodded his head in agreement. "Okay.. while I have everyone's attention, Chloe and I have some news to share..."
Laura grinned. "Oh my god are you guys trying for babies?!"
Beca's eyes widened. "NO! No.. no.. uh..."
Chloe laughed. "It's a bit to soon for that mom, we waned to let you guys know that we are buying a home here in Atlanta."
Tom and Melissa grinned. "Really!"
"Yeah! This is home and well sometimes we miss it."
Beca nodded and looked at everyone else. "You guys don't need to worry, we'll still be living in LA full time, this is just a place here for us when we visit, or sometimes we may just want to be here."
Riley nodded. "That's great you guys."
Beca smiled. "Yeah, it's uber great because the place Chloe and I are buying comes with a guest house and we thought we could give it to a special someone..."
Riley's eyes widened. "You- you didn't!"
Beca grinned. "Oh I did.."
Riley got up and hugged Beca and Chloe. "I love you guys so much."
Chloe smiled. "We love you too, now you can have a place where you and Bree can be alone, you don't have to worry about her roommates."
"You guys are seriously amazing!"
Beca nodded. "Yeah.. I know now let us all sit back down so we can eat this delicious food that mama L made for us."
Chloe looked at Beca as they sat down. "I love you." She mouthed.
"I love you too." Beca mouthed back.
