Beca woke up the next morning, feeling happy and relieved that she was staying in Atlanta for her senior year. She looked over to the sleeping redhead who had drastically changed her life. Kayden had settled in between them, and somehow Chloe had still managed to snuggle as closely to Beca as possible. She loved everything about the girl. Sure, she was easily the most beautiful person Beca had ever laid eyes on, but it was so much more than that. She loved that Chloe was so vibrant, even after everything she'd been through. Beca loved that she was so caring and such a good friend to everyone. She loved that Chloe was smart and funny, and that her love for music almost matched Beca's. She loved how Chloe's eyes sparkled when she played or spoke about volleyball or anything she was passionate about. She loved the way her nose scrunched when she was trying to work out a problem on her pre-cal homework. The way-
"I can feel you staring, it's creepy." Chloe rasped out, a smile greeting her lips. Beca smiled as Chloe cracked one eye to look at her.
"Just thinking about how lucky I am that you chose to love me."
"I don't think I had much of a choice in the matter. You were a thief who stole my heart."
"Quoting Pink so early in the morning, I'm impressed." Beca answered, and Chloe playfully smacked her arm. (I know it's not exactly how the lyrics go)
"I'm serious. I know you never wanted to move here in the first place, but I couldn't be more you did. I'm also happy that Tom harassed me that day you kicked his ass, otherwise I may have never got to know you like I did." Beca thought about it for a minute and Chloe was right. They didn't have any classes together and Beca probably would have stayed in her shell, not getting to know anyone at all if not for the redhead.
"I guess you're right. Even though I noticed you the first day of school, I would have never approached you."
"You noticed me the first day of school?" Chloe questioned with a smirk. "Did the badass Beca Mitchell have a crush?" She teased but Beca just rolled her eyes and smiled.
"You have seen you right?" Before Chloe could respond two little hands came up to both of their mouths.
"Shhhh! I sleepy!" Kayden yelled before rolling and falling right back to sleep. Chloe and Beca shared a laugh.
"I guess we really tired her out last night." Chloe stated and then let out a yawn herself. They had let her stay up well past her bedtime, playing hide and seek, dress up, and watching not one but two movies before all three crashed on the floor. "It's actually still early, let's get a few more hours then we can make Sarah breakfast."
"Chloe, you are a Godsend." Sarah said after taking her first sip of coffee after getting up a little later. "That smells so good. And thank you for fixing coffee." She went to the table, sitting beside her daughter who was working on her pancakes. "Hi baby." She said to her.
Chloe giggled. "You're welcome, did you have fun last night?" She asked, flipping a pancake while Beca worked on some bacon and eggs.
"I think I had just a bit too much wine." The older woman got up and took a couple of aspirin from the cabinet. "Michelle and I ended up just talking most of the night and I didn't realize how much we had."
"Michelle huh?" Beca interrupted. "That's like the fifth time you've hung out with her at her house. Is there anything going on there?" She asked and Sarah quickly brought her mug to her face, trying to hide the blush that appeared.
"There is!" Chloe squealed. "Isn't there?" Beca raised a brow, she had only been kidding but now was intrigued. As far as she knew her sister had only been with men, but after she thought about it Sarah hadn't been with anyone since before Kayden was born.
"Is there?" Beca asked when Sarah neither confirmed nor denied. She sat down back at the table.
"I don't know." Sarah admitted. "Maybe. I've never felt this way before, definitely not with a woman. But she makes me laugh and I can tell her anything." She tried to explain. "And when I'm with her, I feel like I can be myself. And sometimes when she looks at me and smiles, I get all kinds of butterflies. It just all so new to me though and it's scary." Chloe took a seat next to her and Sarah smiled at her. "And amazing." The redhead smiled and put her hand over Sarah's.
"I'm happy for you."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Beca questioned, taking the other seat at the table. Sarah shrugged.
"I was still trying to figure it all out." She answered. "I mean, I didn't even know if she felt the same way, you know."
"But now you do know?" Her sister questioned.
"She may have kissed me before I left last night." The older brunette smiled and again Chloe shrieked excitedly. But Beca still had her reservations.
"That's great sis, but how does she feel about-" Beca tilted her head towards Kayden, not wanting the little girl to catch on to what they were talking about.
Sarah smiled at the protectiveness of her sister. "She's wants to meet her. But just as a friend for right now. We hadn't really talked about anything and the kiss just sort of happened. I mean who knows, we had a little to drink last night, it could have just been a spur of the moment thing and she doesn't want anything."
"Maybe, but you won't know until you talk to her." Chloe stated.
"You're right, maybe I should talk to her when I pick up my car later."
"You should ask her to dinner." Beca suggested. "And make it clear you want it to be a date. If that's what you want."
"I think I would like that. Thanks guys, it feels better to get that off my chest." Sarah stated with a nod. "Now, let's eat. I'm starving."
A/N: I'm back pitches! I told you I wasn't done with this story! Now that SCSC is finished, I'll start working on this more. I want to thank you all for sticking with me, and with second chances. It means a great deal to me that both of these stories have caught on like they have. They may be for different reasons but both have been very special to me. Now I know this is a short chapter but just developing a dynamic of our sisters and Chloe getting a little closer. Much more to come! Please leave a review, you guys are awesome. Also I was excited to get this up, so sorry for any mistakes.
