The family decided to spend a relaxing afternoon at the beach together. Most of them were just relaxing, working on their tan but Beca, Hailee and Jesse were having a little kick about with a soccer ball.

"She gets past the last defender, takes a shot and scores!" Beca exclaimed dramatically as Hailee managed to dribble the ball past her before taking a shot and scoring into Jesse's goals (two hoodies acting as goal posts.) "And she wins the championship final for her team!" The woman ran up to the 11 year old and lifted her off her feet, making the girl laugh.

"Aw look at them." Cindy nudged her daughter beside her before pointing at Hailee and Beca.

"I know, my girls are so cute." Chloe cooed. She loved just watching Beca and Hailee interact, from Beca teaching the girl how to do something to them playing soccer together, Chloe adored it. "Beca!" The redhead called over and the brunette spun around at the call of her name before making her way over.

"What's up?" Beca asked, pushing her sunglasses to the top her head.

"You haven't put any sunscreen on since we left the hotel. C'mere." Chloe sat up and patted the space between her legs.

Cindy just chuckled beside them as Beca rolled her eyes before reluctantly sitting between Chloe's legs (something you wouldn't normally find her complaining about.)

"Do you wanna burn?" The redhead asked as she picked up the bottle of sunscreen.

"No." Beca sighed, rolling her eyes once again before flinching at the cold cream on her back.

Chloe laughed as she moved Beca's hair away from her neck.

"What's funny?" The brunette asked with a furrowed brow.

"I just noticed that you have another hickey." The redhead whispered quietly, trying not to laugh as she did so.

"Duuuude." Beca groaned, her hand flying up to her neck as she picked up Chloe's phone to look at her reflection. "I never give you one, you always do it to me!" She whined.

"Can't deny that you love it though." Chloe said quietly into her fiancée's ear as she massaged the sunscreen into her shoulders.

"I'm totally getting you back." The brunette shot back, narrowing her eyes. The redhead quickly finished helping Beca apply the sunscreen before she allowed the woman to stand up with a stretch.

Chloe glanced to her side for her water bottle, only to find it empty. She shrugged as she picked up Taylor's, knowing the girl-who was currently taking a walk with James-wouldn't mind. She took a drink and her eyes instantly widened at the taste before she coughed.

"You alright?" Beca asked, slapping Chloe on the back as she coughed.

"Here. Taste that." The redhead grimaced, handing the bottle to her fiancée.

"You just choked on it, why would I try it?" Beca scoffed.

"Just tell me that's what I think it is." The older woman pointed to the bottle as she coughed again.

The brunette furrowed her brow, taking a swig of it before spitting it out onto the sand. "Straight vodka." She said as she wiped her mouth, holding up the bottle.

"Mom are you hearing this?" Chloe asked, turning to the older woman.

"What's wrong, honey?" Cindy asked, taking off her sunglasses.

"Taylor's water bottle is full of vodka." Beca filled in, screwing the cap back on the bottle.

"When did you two turn into a pair of 80 year olds?" Cindy chuckled and Beca answered Chloe just looked at each other incredulously.
