They had been in the Beale household for a few hours now when Laura called out that it was time to eat.
"Finally! I'm starving."
Chloe laughed. "You've been eating snacks since you got here."
Beca nodded. "Snacks, not food."
They sat down at the table and Laura smiled at all of them. "I'd like to thank you all for coming, I am so thankful to have not only my family, but my new family here year has been so very special from my daughter getting married to me finding someone I could spend the rest of my life with. Unfortunately he isn't here, but I am still so thankful for him. I am also thankful for getting my son back, at one point I wasn't sure if I'd ever see him again so having you here Caleb is a huge blessing."
Caleb nodded. "Thank you for accepting me with open arms when I came back. I'm so thankful for the fact that I was able to return to my family after all of these years. I'm thankful that my sister has a good life and that she has forgiven me. I'm thankful for Beca, you have taken care of my sister and have been her rock when she needed you the most. I am thankful for all of you, you guys took care of my family and I really appreciate that."
Melissa smiled. "I guess I should go now... I am thankful for everyone in this room. Every single one of you has had some type of impact on my life. I am thankful for John, you help give me our amazing daughter and we had some amazing years together, I am thankful for Tom, when we met I was broken and you took care of me and loved me and helped me and my daughter through the tough times and I just wanna say that I love you, thank you Laura and Chloe for coming into my life and just being the great people you are. You two really changed my life, now I have a sister-in-law and a daughter-in-law."
She looked at Beca with a big smile. "Beca.. my dear daughter, you have been through a lot in your life and you still manage to stay positive and be happy. I am so thankful that you have forgiven me for what I did to you and after the way I treated you. I wasn't the best mother all the time, but you still love me and I am so thankful for that."
John stood up. "I'd just like to say I am thankful for being here. Both because I almost lost my life and because I never thought I'd be spending Thanksgiving with my oldest daughter again. I am so happy that my two daughters have met and love each other and I am so thankful that we are all here together and celebrating this holiday as a family. Tom.. I want to apologize to you, I understand that this is hard, me being here.. But I have no ill intentions. I want to be with my daughter and that is all. I am so thankful that you came into their lives when I ran away. Without you I don't know what their lives would have been, and those times when I'd see Rebeca when she was a child and had no idea who I was she'd tell me stories about you and I'd wish I could be the one who did that for her, but at the same time I was glad she had you."
He looked at Melissa and Beca. "I know I did you two wrong all those years ago, but I want to thank you for forgiving me. Rebeca I know this has been hard on both you and your mother, but you gave me a chance and I promise I won't make you regret it."
John sat down and Tom cleared his throat and stood up. "Um much like everyone else said, I'm thankful for all of you, even you John. I'm thankful that I have been blessed with this wonderful family, I love each and every one of you. I'm thankful for Laura and Melissa cooking this meal and yeah.. I'm just thankful."
Riley smiled. "Well I just want to say I'm very thankful this year. My whole life I've felt empty and alone, and then I met Beca. We instantly clicked and I am so thankful for that. Imagine my surprise when I find out that my best friend slash boss is also my older sister. I didn't really know how to take it at first, but once the shock wore off I was overtaken with joy. I found my missing piece, I needed my older sister and I found her. With Beca came meeting Chloe, my super sweet sister-in-law whom I am so thankful for, we also clicked right away until she thought I was trying to steal her girlfriend, but once we cleared the air we were close again and well it's been a joy getting to know you. Then I met the parents and I was afraid to meet your parents Beca, but they were kind and I am so thankful that you guys accepted me and then I met Aubrey... my beautiful girlfriend. I love you Bree and I am so thankful to have you in my life."
Aubrey grinned and gave Riley a quick kiss. "I love you too Ry and I just want to say how thankful I am for everyone in this room as well. I thank you guys for letting me spend this day with you guys. Thank you Beca and Chloe for introducing me to Riley and thank all of you for making this one of the best thanksgivings I've had in a long time.
Chloe looked at everyone in the room with a grin and then looked at Beca and smiled. "Well I have a lot to be thankful for, one of the main things being my amazing family. My amazing wife, who has given me an amazing life. I'm thankful for my brother coming back and explaining himself, I'm thankful for all of you being there and supporting me... Overall I'm just very thankful! This year has had its ups and downs but the good out weighs the bad."
Beca nodded. "Alright everybody let's eat!"
"Not so fast... you didn't say what you were thankful for.."
Beca rolled her eyes. "Oh come on.. Do I have to, I mean you guys basically said it all. I'm hungry.." Beca said with pout.
Chloe sighed. "Nope, you have to."
"Fine.. I'm thankful for everyone here and for this amazing food.. Now let's eat!"
Melissa laughed. "Try something with more meaning."
"Okay.. I am thankful for everything.. There were many times this year when I should have died or shouldn't have been here right now. I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to be here with all of you and enjoy this meal with you guys. I'm thankful for my dad coming back into my life, I'm thankful for my sister whom I love dearly, I'm thankful for my parents being there for me always, even when we are half a world apart, I'm thankful Laura accepting me with open arms from day one. I'm thankful for Caleb who recently came back, but filled the missing hole in Chloe's heart, I'm most of thankful for Chloe agreeing to be my wife. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how lucky I am to have you and I am so in love with you. I have so many great things in life, but I'd give it all up for you. I am so thankful that you came to the party that day. You rescued me, you loved me, and most importantly you've changed me, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
Chloe smiled at Beca with tears in her eyes and kissed her. "I love you."
Beca nodded and returned the kiss. "I love you too, now let's eat!"
Beca fell on the couch with a sigh, giving the middle finger to Chloe who was laughing at her. "Don't laugh at my misery.."
Chloe grinned. "Nobody told you to stuff yourself like that."
"Yeah Bec, you didn't have to go for seconds... or thirds.. or fourths.. or fi-"
"Okay I get it dad."
Tom just laughed and moved her legs, sitting down and putting her legs on his lap. "Just give the food time to settle kiddo."
Beca nodded. She grinned when Laura came into the living room. "Mama L that food was... I don't know the words. It was amazing!"
Laura smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed Beca, you sure ate a lot of it."
"Yeah, I couldn't stop myself." Beca stood up and stretched. "Now I just want some water..."
Chloe laughed. "Seriously Bec? You just said how full you were."
Beca just shrugged and walked out of the room. As she walked into the kitchen the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" She called out. She opened the door and her eyes widened. "U-Uh Hi.."
The man rolled his eyes. "Can I come in.."
"I uh I don't know.. Isn't there a restraining order?"
"Beca.."
"Hey man don't say my name like you know me. There are three men in there, so try something if you want, not to mention the ass whooping I'll give you if you fuck up this day." she stepped aside and let him in, leading him into the living room where everyone else was.
"Beca who was... it."
Laura's eyes widened "Richard? Beca why the hell did you let him in?"
Before Beca could speak Richard did. "Because this is my house and I belong here! Why the fuck is she still around? "
"Dad please don't start..."
Richard's eyes widened. "Caleb? What the hell are you doing here? This is why you won't answer my calls?"
"I'm here with my family dad, the one you kept me away from so fuck you we don't need you here ruining things."
"I'm ruining things? You all are my family! Instead you're here with a house full of strangers!"
Chloe sighed. "Dad this is not a house full of strangers.. These people are my family.. Beca is my family."
"No! I am your family. You are a Beale and you got that from me!"
Chloe looked at Beca and smirked before looking back at her dad. "I don't know how you don't know this, but I'm actually a Mitchell..." She held up her hand showing him a ring.
"W-What? When did that happen?"
Beca stood next to Chloe and wrapped her arm around her. "Seriously dude? Do you not watch TV or have internet? We've been all over the news, we've been married since September."
"I keep out of all of that.. why are you guys on the news?"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Beca is famous dad, she's a DJ and a producer and I've been living in LA with her for six months..."
Richards eyes widened. "I-I missed my little girls wedding?"
Beca scoffed. "Like we would have invited you."
Richard cleared his throat and backed away. "Have a nice evening everyone." He walked out the room with one sad glance at Chloe.
"That was weird..."
Beca nodded. "Yeah.. Sorry for letting him in, I just knew he wasn't gonna leave so I told him I would kick his ass if he tried anything and that there were three men inside."
"It's fine, at least he didn't cause too much of a scene. You wanna go back to yours? All that food made me tired."
"Okay." They made their way around the house saying bye to everyone and soon they were walking back to the house.
Chloe grabbed Beca's hand and smiled at her. "You know every time we walk from my old house to your old house I feel like we're teenagers again. We use to walk this path all the time."
"I know... we were walking this path when I told you that I would marry you one day."
Chloe grinned. "Oh yeah! I remember that."
Chloe and Beca had just come from eating dinner with Laura and were on their way back to Beca's house. "Do you cook like your mom?"
Chloe laughed. "I think so.. I guess I'll have to cook for you and you can tell me."
Beca nodded. "I look forward to that.. I hope you cook like your mom, but if you don't that's fine too."
"I hope I do too, I'd like to cook for you one day."
Beca scoffed. "One day? Please, try forever... don't you know I'm gonna marry you one day girl?"
Chloe stopped walking and held onto Beca's hand a little tighter. "You want to marry me?"
"Of course I wanna marry you! I love you!"
Chloe smiled but then frowned slightly. "But we've only been dating for nine months and you're going back to LA soon and I'm still in college."
Beca laughed. "Whoa! Calm down Beale I said I wanna marry you one day, not now... I'm not proposing. And by the way people totally get married after nine months."
Chloe nodded. "Sorry I kinda freaked... I wanna marry you one day too."
"Yeah.. One day in the future like wayyy down the line."
Chloe laughed as she thought about it. "Who would have thought we'd be married a four years later."
Beca laughed. "Not me... I remember thinking that I'd marry you when I was like thirty. I'm fucking twenty-two and I'm married!"
Chloe grinned. "I may have taken some of your Mitchell charm and used it on you."
Beca nodded. "That explains it."
They walked into the house and into Beca's old bedroom with a sigh and laid on the bed quickly cuddling up to each other. "Do you want to go look at our house tomorrow? We could bring our parents and show them it."
Beca nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking about doing that. I also want to hang out with Stace, I haven't seen her yet."
"Okay, you can do that while I catch up with Bree tomorrow. We made plans to go to the mall."
Beca wrapped her arm around Chloe and kissed her. "Ooh Aubrey and Chloe going to the mall, seems like old times. I use to avoid going there because you and her were always there and Aubrey was such a bitch to me."
Chloe laughed. "Oh my god do you remember when I found you ducking behind a trashcan because you saw us?"
Beca blushed. "Please don't remind me of that. I was pissed at Aubrey and I really didn't feel like dealing with her reign of terror."
Chloe brushed some hair out of Beca's face. "I'm sorry I let her treat you so badly.. I should have said something."
"It's fine Chlo, she wouldn't have listened anyway."
Chloe sighed and leaned in to kiss Beca. "I love you so much."
Beca smiled. "I love you too."
"You know what you said earlier when you were talking.. about how you were thankful I came to the party that day?"
Beca nodded. "Yeah.."
"You said I rescued you and that I changed you... the truth is you did those things for me too.. You helped me a lot more than you think that night. You cleared things up for me that night and I was sure more than ever that I wanted to be with you."
Beca smiled. "You've changed..."
Chloe kissed Beca. "And you've changed."
Beca grinned. "We've changed."
A/N: The End? I hope you guys liked the ending.. Let me know what you guys think! And also... part three? I've been thinking about it and well I thought why not. You guys want it and I don't mind writing it. I have three options for what part three could be about and it'd be really helpful if you guys could tell me which one you'd like to see.
Option 1: Ten years after "You've Changed" Chloe and Beca have two kids with one on the way and their careers are doing well. Beca wants to go on tour for her new album but Chloe wants her to stay and focus on her family and the child Chloe is carrying.
Option 2: A prequel of sorts, it takes place during the four years Beca was in LA and Chloe was in college.
Option 3: Three years after "You've Changed" Beca is producing a hot new artist and Chloe is quick to notice the crush the girl has on Beca. Beca doesn't notice it and chalks it up to Chloe being pregnant and feeling territorial because of it.
You guys can let me know in reviews or pms which one you guys would like to see, or you can even suggest a whole new prompt and if I like it I might pick it. So yeah let me know which prompt you'd like to see written out and let me know what you think of this last chapter.
