A.N. I know I said there would be another update on Friday, but things got in the way again. But I am back so lets keep reviewing and you might get more updates.
And with that the two women drifted off to sleep with the other in her arms.
Later that Day
Beca comes out of her office to voices, normally that wouldn't be a surprise, but the fact that it is not Aubrey that Chloe is talking to but Jesse is a bit weird. Normally Aubrey is Chloe's go to pair of ears, and Jesse is Beca's. But today she walks out to find her two best friends discussing things.
She clears her throat as she enters the room and the conversation stops, Chloe looks up at her wife, "Hey Cricket. Get any work done?"
"Yeah, it is nice to have my inspiration back, I think the label likes it too." She responds placing a kiss on Chloe's forehead. "So what brings you by Jesse, normally I find Aubrey over for lunch."
Well she has a lunch date with Chief Hunt, he is looking for a new Head of cardio since Teddy got offered that job in Germany, hopefully we will get the good news soon. But anyways I was bored and thought I would come see what you gals were up to, maybe have lunch if you guys wanted?"
"Yeah, but I heard the door open almost an hour ago, why didn't you come ask, we could have been there by now?"
"I know, but Chloe had a question then we got to talking, you know how it goes."
"Yeah babe, besides you haven't gotten anything done for the label since I left, so I figured I could keep him distracted while you got some mixes made." Beca can hear the guilt in Chloe's voice, but doesn't pick, she knows she needed to get something in to the producers before the cut her contract.
"So is that a yes to lunch then?" Jesse asks.
"Yeah, just give me like twenty minutes to get ready." Chloe says as she leaves the room.
By now Beca is sitting in the chair across from Jesse looking at the Rolling Stones magazine on the coffee table.
"So, how are things?" Jesse asks when he knows Chloe is out of earshot.
Not getting his question Beca quickly responds "They are fine, why did Chlo say something to you?"
"No, but I couldn't think things would go right back to normal, and you are my best friend, I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Oh. Yeah things are fine. And uhh Thanks for getting her, I don't know what I would have done if she never came back." Beca says wiping away the tears she didn't know were shedding.
"No problem Becs, what are friends for? Now speaking of friends are you gonna quit lying to me, I know you almost as much as she does. Now what happened?"
Beca shifts in her seat as she lets out a breath, "I woke up last night and she wasn't there, she was in the living room, but my mind didn't think that was a possibility, my mind immediately went to her leaving again. Urghhh. I know it is stupid, I should trust her, she made a mistake and I should let her know I trust her again."
"Do you?"
"What, do I what?"
"Do you trust her? I get that things are hard, but she left. She just took off, don't get me wrong I love Chloe but I don't know if I would be able to be with her just like that after something like this."
"I love her, I know she made a mistake, but I told her I would be there for her when that were to happen, when I married her, I am not going to hold that against her. I mean she came back right, if she wanted to leave she would not have come back. I just cant help but get scared and think this was a dream, and she is still gone. "
"Well just talk to her, I know she feels bad but she isn't going to know what you are thinking if you dont tell her."
"Okay, I will tonight at our date."
"Ohh a date, so exciting where are you going?"
"Dude seriously, you do know that we are Beca and Jesse" she says waving her hand between the two of them " not Aubrey and Chloe. We don't do girl talk."
Becas head turns when she hears a soft chuckle behind her, she sighs and smiles remembering only a few days ago she didn't know if she would ever hear that sound again.
"Hey babe, ready for lunch?"
"Yup!" Chloe responds making a popping noise at the end.
Later that night on the date
The two women were dressed warmly since it was October. They were cuddled on the picnic blanket just enjoying some time together when beca hears Chloes stomach grumble. She looks at her wife as the redhead sits up and places her hand to her mouth.
Beca asks if chloe is okay, thinking its morning sickness.
Chloe laughs at the worried look on Becas face "I am fine babe, just hungry again."
"Seriously we ate like four hours ago, and you had those chips like half an hour ago."
"I know, but I am eating for two now remember."
With that Beca stands "Well in that case lets get you fed. The more you eat the chubbier our little monkey will be."
"Why do you insist on the baby being fat?"
"Not fat, just chubby, they are so cute when they are chubby."
"Yeah, cute to you, you arent the one who has to push it out."
"Hey we decided you would carry first."
"I know. Do you remember the night we decided to have kids?"
They planned a date for that night even though they had had really busy schedules. They both had the idea of a weekly date night when work got hectic. They didn't want to become one of those couples that put work first. So tonight was the night and they were both excited, It had seemed like they hadn't seen each other in weeks and they really missed each other. Beca was at the park waiting for chloe, she got a text 30 minutes ago telling her to head over, she would pick up some food on the way there.
Beca's mind began to wonder as she watches the parents with their young kids playing at the park. She begins to think of Chloe being pregnant and excitement begins to fill becas mind. She pictures the little musical prodigy gingers they were gonna have. She can already see it, a little girl with brown hair like hers and a bright cerulean blue eyes like Chloe. She would love music more than both of her parents combined and even though she would act like she didn't she would love to play dress up and be girly with her mommy. Though that would have to be her role when Chloe is taking care of the twins. Two little boys with dark blue eyes and fiery red hair. They would be spoiled by their big sister, and love to play in the mud. One would play drums where the other played guitar, and with the vocals of their sister they would start a garage band. She couldn't help but smile.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she feels someone gently push her on the swing. She didn't even have to turn around, she know who it was from the little electric shocks she felt going up her spine.
"Hey babe. I got chili dogs." Chloe says holding up the takeout bag.
"Brighton's?" Beca asks excitedly.
"Yes" Chloe laughs at her wifes childlike behavior.
After the two ate, they were discussing their weeks at work while laying on a blanket looking at the stars. Both loved where they were at in life and in their relationship but they both felt something missing.
"Babe, I think we need to discuss something."
"Okay, I have been meaning to ask you something anyway."
Okay Beca thought to herself, just come right out and say it.
Asking for a puppy would be a good first step, Chloe thinks.
"I think we should have a baby!"
"I think we should get a puppy!"
Only you can't hear what either one says because they both say it so fast and at the same time, it just comes out a jumbled mess.
"Okay, you first." chuckles Chloe.
Beca sighs and suddenly gets really nervous, "No, you can go first it can wait."
"Okay, um, I was thinking maybe we could um, get a puppy. I think we are ready to have that kind of responsibility." Chloe says while thinking how much she want to be asking for a baby. "I mean it will be hard work at first, but its nothing like having a kid. Right?"
With that Beca's face falls and she is glad she let chloe go first. "Yeah, that sounds great, we should look into it." She says trying to hide her disappointment. She fails.
"Hey, baby what's wrong did I do something , oh God, you aren't ready for a puppy. Its okay, we can wait."
"No my Ladybug, its not that, I would love to get a puppy with you. I just was wishing it were something more serious." Beca says the last part to herself, but Chloe heard.
"What do you mean something more serious, like a cat. I thought a dog would be better because they are work, but not a lot, with cats they are just there. Plus I didn't think of you as a cat person. But if thats what you want thats fine too." Chloe rambles hoping she didnt scare beca. "What would you rather have?"
"I didn't mean a more serious pet Chlo." Beca giggles at her wifes silly antics.
"Well then what did you mean?"
" I meant that I would rather skip the puppy and go straight for a baby." Beca rushes out looking away from Chloe.
Chloe takes her hand under Becas cheek and moves her to face her, "A baby, really?" Her face lights up at the thought of Beca wanting kids with her.
"Well yeah, but if you want to wait we can thats totally fine. I mean with our hectic work schedules it probably would be the best time right now anyways." Now it was becas turn to ramble, only Chloe was sweet enough to stop her rambling with a firm kiss.
"I would love to have a baby with you right now. Thats what i wanted the whole time, but i didn't think of you as wanting kids so I thought getting a pet would be a good first step into the idea of kids."
"Really? Beca asks almost squealing.
"You were so excited that night." Chloe smiles at the recollection. "You know we have had a lot of great memories at this spot, lets not make tonight the first bad one."
Beca turns to look at her wife not understanding, "I don't know what you mean, I thought we were having a good night."
"Well we are, except you wont talk to me. I know something is bothering you but you won't tell me and I am starting to think you want us to slow down with us being us again."
Clearly seeing her wife upset sends guilt right through Beca, "I don't want to say anything because we are doing so good, and I dont want to hurt you."
"Beca, sweetie I know that when I left I hurt you and I am really sorry or that, so I think it is okay if you hurt me sometimes, I deserve it."
"No, I don't care that you hurt me, I forgave you for leaving, because I know it is something you needed to do. But if I ever hear you say you deserve being hurt, then I will hurt you. Chloe you are the best person in my life and if I have any control over whether or not you get hurt then I will do everything in my power to insure you never hurt again."
"You say the sweetest things to me beca Mitchell." Chloe says placing a kiss on the brunette's lips. "Now will you tell me what is bothering me?"
"Its just last night when I woke up and you weren't there I didn't even think you would be in the other room I thought you left again, and I am so afraid that I am gonna say or do something to make you leave again." Beca was trying to hold back the tears but as she continued she just let them fall. "I know you would never leave again, but what if I mess up and you do? Or what if this is all a dream and you never come back? When you were gone I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to be anything, I started to get those thoughts like before with Luke in college, and then I got the phone call from Dr. Montgomery and when she said you were pregnant I had something to live for. I had something to be, I had to be a Mama. But then you still hadn't come back and I thought what I would do with my life if I weren't this Little Monkey's Mama. I know its stupid, but I can't lose you and now having this baby I know I can't lose either of you, and I am afraid everyday that I might."
Now Chloe was crying to as the guilt hit her full force, "Beca I was stupid when I left, I never left because of you I left because I was afraid to tell you about the miscarriage. You were so excited and I didn't want to see you hurt, so i did what i thought wouldn't hurt you. Turns out it all hurts just the same. There is nothing you could do that would ever make me leave you again. I realised two things when I was in St. Cloud, I could never go on living a happy life if you weren't next to me, and I had a lot make up to you. Beca I love you so much, and before I would say you were the one thing I loved the most, but that has changed. This is what I love the most, you me and our little monkey, i could never live a life that didn't have our family. I am so sorry to ever make you doubt your self or my love for you." Chloes leans in to kiss her wife, as things heat up she is glad it is dark and there weren't any families around to see their make-out session.
Suddenly the two girls were pulled out of the loving embrace by yet another grumble of the stomach, only this time it was Beca's.
"I guess someone else is hungry too." Teases Chloe.
"Yeah, now. You head home it is getting late, I will pick up some food. What are you two in the mood for?"
"Something gross and greasy and bad for you!"
"Chili-dogs it is." Beca says walking in the opposite direction.
"From Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe?" Chloe yells.
"Is there anywhere else?" Smirks Beca.
Beca walks in the door to find Chloe asleep on the couch with the menu screen of Mean Girls on the T.V. She walks up places the food on the coffee table and kisses her wife's cheek to wake her. Chloe's eyes flutter open and instead of being greeted by the beautiful face of her wife she instead finds that of a purple stuffed monkey.
"I saw this the other day and thought our Little Monkey needed a-"
"A purple monkey, just like B. Davis!"
"Yeah I know you are a little obsessed with that show." Teases Beca.
"Hey, you love One Tree Hill just as much as me." Chloe laughs as her wife sticks her tongue out at her.
"Hey keep that inside or I may put it to use."
After dinner the women cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie, Chloe is the first to fall asleep but this give beca some privacy for her talk with the redhead's belly.
"Hey Little Monkey, its Mama again. I love you so much already and I can't wait to meet you. But don't take my lack of patience as instruction to come any time sooner than planned. You stay right there where you are safe until we say it is okay for you to make your grand entrance. You know I never thought I would have kids, but even when I am sad I am so happy knowing that you will be here soon. I am now unable to see my life without you and your mommy. I love you Little Monkey, and don't ever forget it." Beca placed a soft kiss on her wife's stomach and begins singing You are My Sunshine.
Chloe lets a tear slid down her cheek as she listens in and thinks of how amazing her wife is.
A.N. I really liked writing this chapter, before I thought of this story I had an idea of the whole "let's have a baby" scene and wanted to write it as a one-shot, but found better use for it here. I hope you guys like where I am going with the story. I would really appreciate some reviews. On a side note I would like to say probably no one knows what Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe is, because it is only in western Pennsylvania, but their food is incredible, if you are ever in the area you must try it. Also some of you may have caught some of the connections I put in the story so far. Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill were my obsessions before Pitch Perfect, so I have tied a few things in this story.
Seriously though, review and let me know what yinz think.
~Boo~
