Beca pushed a giggling Kayden on the swing set. Even though she was having fun with her niece she kept a close eye on her sister and Chloe. She didn't really trust her sneaky sister. God only knows what she could have told Chloe in the past half an hour. She hoped that their newly formed friendship wouldn't be ruined just because she was gay.
"Hiwere Auntie B hiwere." Kayden demanded, Beca laughed at her.
"You're going plenty high Munchkin." Beca said but pushed her niece just a bit higher anyway making her squeal. She loved hearing the little girl's laughter. She was glad that her sister had decided to make the move at the beginning of the summer with them. Sarah just graduated from nursing school. And when she found out that Beca and her mother were moving she decided to find a job in Atlanta, just about 20 minutes from Barden. They were close, spending time together whenever possible. Beca would even watch Kayden on the weekends sometimes so her sister could go out since Kayden's father was not in the picture.
"Hey you two, you having fun?" Chloe asked from behind them walking closer to Beca carrying the brunette's jacket. Beca acknowledged her with a nod worried about what the redhead and Sarah talked about. "You okay?" Chloe asked noticing something was up.
"Listen about what Sarah implied earlier." Beca spoke quietly while Chloe stood next to her. "I was going to tell you when we got to know each other a bit better. I'm not really good at talking to people and-"
"Hey listen." Chloe interrupted and linked her arms with Beca's. "You don't have to explain anything. We're great and I meant what I said before you do look hot in that suit." She said winking making Beca blush. Okay maybe she's not so straight.
"You flirting with me Beale?" Beca was able to tease back but secretly wanting a real answer. Chloe moved to the swing saying hi to Kayden then looking back at Beca.
"Well if you don't know then I guess I'm not doing it right." She smiled. Hmm, that doesn't answer my question. Beca thought. "By the way, I told Sarah we would watch Kayden so she could get her drink on." She stated then stopped the slowing swing. "Hey Kayden what do you say we go to auntie Becs room and watch the Wizard of Oz?" She asked the 2-year-old, Sarah told her that Kayden loved that movie. Chloe could tell Kayden was starting to get tired but still tried to be energetic.
"Yeah! Da Wizard of Oz is my favowite!"
"The Wizard of Oz?" Beca whined. "I don't like that movie."
"Who doesn't like the Wizard of Oz?"
"Well when it's your niece's favorite movie and has made you watch it 9 times in one day, it gets a little old." Beca complained as Chloe picked up the little girl and whispered in her ear. At the same time they turned to Beca with a pouty face and puppy dog eyes.
"Pwease Auntie Becs, pwetty pwease?" Yes the both said it just like that. Beca mumbled something under her breath and rolled her eyes.
"Fine! But you Munchkin are going to have to lie down and go to sleep as your watching it. And you!" She said pointing to Chloe. "That" moving her finger around her face "was just plain mean. (meaning the facial expressions they displayed) Now come on before I lock you both out of my room and you don't a comfy bed to lie on or comfortable clothes to change into." Beca said making her way to the house.
Once they made it to Beca's room they were instantly greeted by Beca's dog, Mo. He was a black min pin who had an abundance of energy.
"Momo!" Kayden exclaimed as she tried to get out of Chloe's arms. The redhead put her down and Kayden was immediately attacked by Momo kisses all over her face as the girl giggled. Chloe sat besides her petting the dog. Beca went to get some clothes out for Chloe so she didn't have to watch the movie in her dress.
"Yay you have a dog, we totally have to take our dogs on a play date. I have teacup havanese. His name's Patches and he's a little fur ball." Chole said petting a Momo's belly who was soaking up the attention. "You're so cute! Yes you are!"
"I'm going to have my hands full with you aren't I?" Beca asked, mostly talking to herself. She smiled at Chloe offering her a hand. "Here are some clothes that you can change into if you want." Beca helped Chloe off the floor handing her the clothes. "The bathroom is right there if you want to change in there." She stated pointing to the bathroom. Chloe hugged her suddenly.
"Thanks," She said then headed towards the bathroom turning back last second, "I know I said it earlier, but I'm really glad I met you."
"Me too." Beca smiled. While Chloe was changing Beca took the opportunity to get into a t-shirt and shorts as well. When they finished changing and getting Kayden in to her pajamas they all laid down on Beca's bed. Kayden and Momo sandwiched themselves between Chloe and Beca. Half way through the movie Kayden fell asleep curled up into her aunt's side underneath her favorite blanket Beca had gotten her for her birthday.
"She's so cute." Chloe whispered brushing a strand of hair out of her face then turned to her side to face Beca. "You're really good with her." She stated making Beca smile. "So you going to tell me what she whispered to you earlier?"
"She said that you were really pretty and I had to agree. And she really seems to like you which is good because otherwise I would have to dump you." Beca smirked turning so she could face Chloe but without disturbing a sleeping Kayden.
"Ouch." She grabbed her heart dramatically. "So tell me more about yourself."
"What do you want to know?"
"Well, have any more brothers or sisters I should know about?"
"Sarah is the only biological sister. Then there's Jessie which is Nathan's from his previous marriage. Then my sperm donor has two kids of his own."
"Sperm donor?"
"Yeah that's all my dad really is, he left my mom when I was like 3. Married the step-monster and never really looked back. "
"I'm sorry Becs." Chloe said and Beca shrugged.
"It happened and I'm over it. What about you?"
"Kind of the same as far as sperm donor goes. My biological father left my mother when he found out she was pregnant. I don't even know who he is. But that's ok because my dad is really all I need. He met my mom when I was like 4 months old and really has treated me as his own. They couldn't have anymore kids so it's just me."
"Well now I feel like a dick, at least I know my dad." Beca said feeling guilty that she was complaining about her situation when Chloe's was worse. But Chloe shook her head and grabbed Beca's hand.
"Don't feel bad, I'm actually glad that things worked out the way they did. Ok so let's talk about something else." Chloe let go of Beca's hand as she looked around the room noticing all the medals and trophies that were displayed along with a collage of pictures of her softball team. "Tell me about softball, I think you may have been a little too modest about how good you really are."
"I'm not too bad and we had a really good team. We even won state last year. I think that's what I'll miss the most. No offense but Barden's field really sucks."
"Yeah I know the girls hate it, there's absolutely no support for it by the facility or alumni. It's all about football and basketball here, the volleyball girls are in the same boat as you guys. The only way anyone will care is if we win."
"Yeah I guess." They noticed the movie ended and Beca turned on some music. They lied on the bed talking. About an hour passed and Chloe had a question she was dying to know the answer to.
"So…did you leave anyone special behind in Cali?" Chloe tried to act nonchalant but failed miserably.
"Well that was subtle."
"You gonna answer the question?"
"No."
"Is that a no you didn't leave anyone behind or no you're not going to answer the question?" Chloe asked confused. Beca just shrugged and smirked. "You're a jerk." Chloe said playfully shoving Beca's shoulder lightly so she didn't wake Kayden who was snuggling against her. "Come on answer the question." She pouted.
"Ok but first you answer a question."
"Fine," Chloe whined. "Go ahead."
"What were you and Sarah talking about for half an hour?"
"That's what you want to know?" Beca nodded. "I thought you were going to ask if I was dating anyone." Chloe frowned.
"I think I know that answer since douchebag was trying to ask you out. Plus it's a Friday night and here you are spending it with me. But fine, do you have a boyfriend? Girlfriend?" Beca smiled when Chloe grinned shaking her head in the negative. "So what were you and Sarah talking about?"
"She was telling me embarrassing stories about you." Chloe smirked making the other woman cringe. "She told me about the time a few months ago when Kayden talked you into letting her do your make up. You had lipstick on your cheeks, mascara on your lips, and your eye shadow went half way up your forehead." Chloe was laughing and grabbed her phone. "She even sent me a pic." Chloe scrolled to the picture that Sarah sent her showing Beca. Beca lunged as much as she could without waking the child but Chloe held it arms length away. "Nuh uh uh."
"Come on Chloe, delete it." Beca said glaring at her.
"Oh look you're giving me the same glare as in the picture." She stated trying to get her laughing under control. "I promise no one will see it." She held the phone out until Beca relented.
"No one will ever see that Beale. You got it?" Chloe nodded and crossed her heart. Beca huffed, "Now what else did she tell you?"
"She told me about your first girlfriend. You're teammate who-"
"Cheated on me with some guy when some of the team started questioning if we were more than friends." Chloe nodded slightly. "Oh that girlfriend."
"Yeah she didn't want to tell me but I kind of wouldn't give up, and then I gave her the pouty face." Chloe didn't want Sarah getting in trouble but Beca smiled.
"Well then I guess I can't be mad, cause I don't think anyone could say no to that face."
"I'm sorry and I don't know the girl but she seems like a bitch. You can do way better anyway."
"Thanks, I mean I was hurt but I wasn't in love with her or anything like that. And to answer your question no I did not leave anyone behind." Beca admitted and again Chloe grabbed her hand playing with her fingers. Beca's heart sped up, she had a feeling that Chloe was affectionate with everyone but it made her feel special. Chloe opened her mouth to say something but her phone vibrated. She picked up her phone reading the text message.
"My parents are looking for me, they're ready to leave." She sat up on the bed looking at Beca. "I had so much fun tonight."
"Yeah me too, let me show you out." Beca started to unwind from Kayden but Chloe stopped her.
"It's okay, I don't want her to wake up." Chloe got up grabbing her dress then walking over to Beca's side of the bed reaching over her to kiss Kayden's cheek then doing the same to Beca. "See you at the game tomorrow right?" Beca nodded afraid her voice would give away her enthusiasm of just a simple kiss. Chloe gave one more smile before leaving. Beca felt like her heart and stomach were doing flip flops inside. She smiled to herself and snuggled into Kayden before starting to drift off. Maybe this year won't be so bad after all. She thought before falling asleep.
