6 years had past since that fateful day at the airport. Things were a lot different now, different in a good way. First of all, Beca had become one of the most successful young singer/songwriters out there, she had the fame, the fortune but it didn't change that charming personality of her's. Being only 24, there was always the possibility that Beca could let the fame get to her but she didn't let it. No way. She had the house and the cars to show for it, but she never used her money for the wrong reasons.

That brings us to the present day. Beca is currently in New York for work, trying her hardest to get home for a certain special day.

"I can't wait to come home, I miss you so much." Beca pouted, running her fingers through her messy bed hair.

"I miss you too, baby." Chloe said on her laptop screen. Every morning while Beca has been away, Chloe has Skyped her. She did it every time she was away, it did make it little more difficult when they were in different timezones but they managed.

Yes, of course Beca and Chloe kept their promise that they would find a way to be together again. It was only a year after Beca left when the opportunity came. Aubrey had been offered a better job at a law firm in LA, Ryan wanted to go with her but he couldn't just leave Hailee. That's when Chloe found out about the situation and suggested that they should all move out there together. The redhead had managed to contact Beca as soon as she got there and they've been together ever since.

What Beca loved most about Chloe being out here in LA with her was that her girlfriend had managed to achieve her dream. Chloe Beale was now a best selling author and Beca couldn't be prouder.

"You need to be here tomorrow, I don't know if I can cope turning 30 without you." The redhead whined, getting up from the stool at the breakfast bar so she could make herself tea while she left Beca on the counter.

"You need to quit moping around about being 30, it's not like you're 50." Beca rolled her eyes even though her girlfriend wasn't looking at her at that moment.

"I have a 24 year old girlfriend, it makes me feel old." The redhead mumbled, sitting back down as she nursed her cup of tea.

"Well you're in luck, just so happens I'm into older women." The brunette smirked with a wink.

"Don't do that oh my God, that made me feel worse." The older woman set her cup down before pressing her hand against her forehead as Beca just laughed. "When is your flight anyway?" Chloe asked as she blew gently on her tea.

Beca stayed silent, biting her bottom lip. "About that..." She trailed off.

"Beca..." Chloe sighed. She knew her girlfriend's work was important but she wanted her to be here on her birthday. Especially her 30th. She had missed her 29th because of work last year and she didn't want to spend another birthday without her.

"I'm sorry Chlo but I've got a photo shoot tomorrow." Beca apologised and Chloe sighed heavily. "I'll try and get back before the day is out."

"You promise?" Chloe pouted, resting her head on her hand.

"I promise." Beca winked with a smile.

Chloe quickly checked the time at the bottom corner of her screen. 7:05am. "I better go wake Hailee up for school."

"Alright. Tell her I miss her and I can't wait to see both of you tomorrow." Beca softly smiled at her girlfriend who couldn't help to smile back.

"I can't wait to see you too, I love you Beca."

"I love you too, Chlo. I'll call you later okay?"

"Okay." Chloe gave her girlfriend a little wave and she blew a kiss before disconnecting the video call.
