By the time Monday came, Beca and Hailee were feeling a lot better. The 11 year old had been to school that day and Beca had managed to go the rehearsal with Jesse. At the MTV Movie Awards, Beca was going to perform her song 'Closer' which was actually a duet with Jesse so he was joining her for the awards.
"How are you getting on?" Chloe asked her daughter who was finishing off her homework. The two were sitting at the breakfast bar and Beca was cooking dinner while chatting on her phone.
"Okay..." The 11 year old replied distractedly and Chloe stood up and walked over to the fridge.
"Babe, do you want a glass of wine?" The redhead asked as she pulled the bottle out of the fridge.
Beca gave Chloe a thumbs up over her shoulder, as she was still busy talking on the phone. The redhead went on to pour two glasses of wine before placing the bottle back in the fridge.
The 24 year old groaned when she finally came off the phone, taking the glass that Chloe was handing her.
"What's wrong?" The older woman asked as they both took a seat opposite Hailee.
"Jesse can't make the show on Sunday. He says he's got to fly out and see his family for something." Beca sighed before taking a drink.
"Do you know what you're gonna do about your performance?" Chloe asked gently.
The younger woman just shrugged. "I'll try and find someone else, if not I'll just sing it myself."
"Hey guys?" Hailee spoke up with a cocked eyebrow, grabbing the couple's attention. "Put your hands down like this." The girl demonstrated by placing her hand flat on the counter.
Chloe and Beca gave each other a weird look before reluctantly following the 11 year old's instructions. "Why?" The redhead asked slowly.
Hailee leaned forward and took a look at her mother and Beca's fingernails. "Why do lesbians always have short nails?" She asked innocently and Beca almost choked on nothing while Chloe's eyes just widened.
"Where did you hear that?" The older woman finally asked her daughter, furrowing her brow.
"I heard someone talking about it in school. I didn't know if it was true or not but I guess it is." The girl shrugged, motioning to the two women in front of her. "Why though?" She asked again, tilting her head slightly.
"Uhhh...Beca?" Chloe turned to her fiancée for help to explain.
The older brunette took a second to think about it after narrowing her eyes at Chloe for giving her the responsibility of explaining. "I'm not gonna beat around the bush, I'm just gonna come right out and say it...If we didn't have short nails, sex would hurt." Beca just shrugged and Chloe elbowed her because she totally could've explained that in a more subtle way.
Hailee's eyes widened as she blushed. "Oh my God forget I asked." She rushed out before looking back down at her homework awkwardly.
Beca chuckled before taking another sip of wine.
"Am I coming to the awards?" Hailee asked, quickly changing the subject.
The 24 year old shook her head before swallowing.
"What? Why not?" The girl whined, looking at her mother.
"You've got school the next day, you're staying with dad." Chloe explained.
"Aww." Hailee pouted. "That's not fair."
"If it was up to me, I'd let you have the Monday off school but your mom used to be a teacher so..." Beca trailed off with a laugh, earning a playful shove from her fiancée.
