Growing pains ( Sequel to Life changes )

Chloe's point of view

I am still thinking about how cute the proposal Yelena made to Emily was, and the fact she worked so hard to keep it a secret to the point Emily thought she was cheating made the end result even cuter. But my mind keeps going back to the threat I got from Wyatt a few weeks ago when he came into my restaurant. I was surprised to hear that he was even talking to Chicago because as far as I was concerned Wyatt hated Chicago almost as much as he hated me because Chicago was the one who got to have sex with me and got me pregnant. It got me thinking what could they possibly be planning, and why is Wyatt still okay with hurting his sister. The rest of his family had already cut him off completely after hearing that he was the one who set fire to the diner and played a part in me losing my job. I didn't want to bother Beca with the threat because she was already dealing with so much at work that it didn't seem necessary. So for now I'm going to keep acting as if everything is okay but be hyper vigilant to my surroundings.

I get out of bed and make my way over to Hailey's room to wake her up and give her breakfast while I start making breakfast for everyone else. After about ten minutes Ryan and Justin come bounding into the kitchen and climb up on the stools we have around the kitchen counter. Ryan slaps the counter.

,,What's for breakfast mom, we're starving?" I turn around quickly.

,,Is that how we ask for food in this house?" Not a minute later Beca comes into the kitchen holding onto Nola.

,,No we say where's the food woman, I got to get to work." The kids all laugh at Beca's antics and I just shake my head with a small smile. Beca walks over to me and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before putting Nola into her highchair. Beca grabbed a bowl of blueberries and mashed them down before placing them in front of Nola to eat them. I watch the exchange then look back at my boys who look jealous of the fact their sisters are being fed first so I finish plating their breakfasts.

,,For you growing boys you get eggs, bacon, and toast, with fruit on the side." Both of them clap their hands.

,,Thank you mom." Ryan and Justin say at the same time before digging into their breakfast. Once breakfast is done Beca helps get Ryan dressed and ready to go to work with her. It is bring your child to work day at Ryans school and he decided he wanted to go to the studio with Beca instead of the restaurant with me. I was a little hurt when he didn't immediately want to come with me to work but I got over it quickly remembering how much fun Beca's job is. I'm excited because that means I get to bring the rest of the kids to work with me for the day. I still have Wyatt's threat in the back of my mind and I have a bad feeling in my gut but I can't figure out why.

Chicago's point of view

I have been serving my prison sentence for several years now and all I keep hearing about is how successful Beca Mitchell is, and how they keep growing their family, and my cell mate keeps playing her music non-stop, it's driving me crazy. All of their success should've been mine and Chloe's I mean without me she wouldn't even have Ryan to begin with. The day Chloe won full custody of Ryan broke me. I thought I would've at least had a chance to gain back his trust and make us a family again. But no Chloe had to go and choose Beca to be with and continue to break our family apart. I had been trying to come up with a plan on how to get back at Beca for stealing everything from me, but so far I haven't come up with anything. I had found an anonymous pen pal on the outside who said they could help me get out and get my life back, but I had no idea who it was until one day I was surprised to have a visitor which turned out to be my pen pal. I was excited to find someone who had the same motives as me, to get Beca away from Chloe and give me what is rightfully mine.
