Chloe came back with Emily. "How is she?" Chloe asked nervously.
"I gave her some medicine and she threw it up. She just fell back asleep, so I think it will be ok for another few hours." Beca quietly stood up. "Em, you'll be in my room, and I'll just move out all the stuff, since I'm moving next door tomorrow. I would have been on the couch with her all night anyway."
"Oh ok." Emily put her bags down. "I'll help you out."
Chloe sat with Harper until Beca and Emily finished moving her stuff out. Beca went to the freezer and got the bag of ice. She sat down on the couch and propped her knee up. Chloe's face was full of concern. "How bad does your knee hurt?"
"Pretty bad, but I've been doing a lot of walking today. It should feel better tomorrow."
Emily sat down next to Beca. "Ok. I'll help you out tomorrow if you need it."
"Hey, Em, do you want to be a bridesmaid?"
"Yes! Wait you're engaged again?"
"Oh god I have to catch you up. I'll start with 4 years ago. So that was Chloe's birthday and we were driving to Starbucks and a truck hit us. Chloe and Anna were fine...well Chloe had a broken wrist. I was in a coma for 4 days, and I had a broken ankle and a broken wrist. I was in a wheelchair for 4 days and then I got a walking crutch and it was hard but I managed. Then I had to get rods put in it, and I have a huge scar." Beca rolled up the ankle on her pants to show Emily her scar.
"Wow, that's pretty bad," Emily said.
"Eh, I'm over it. The one on my knee is worse. I'm a walking trainwreck." Beca laughed, but stopped the second Harper woke up. "Hey, sweetie."
"My tummy still hurts," Harper complained.
Chloe got up to get her some ginger ale. "It's ok, sweetie. I'll get you some ginger ale."
Beca laughed really hard. "The irony of you getting her GINGER ale."
Chloe rolled her eyes, "you're so friggin messed up, Mitchell."
Beca laughed as Chloe handed her the ginger ale. Beca handed the sippy cup to her daughter. "Drink it slowly, ok?"
Harper took a small sip. "I still don't feel good."
Beca giggled. "It takes a little while, sweetie. Try to drink some more in a few minutes."
Harper nodded. Chloe smiled. "Are you and Em hungry? I'm thinking I want to go pick up some Taco Bell."
"Yeah, that would be great. Thanks Chlo."
The second Chloe left, Beca flipped open her laptop. "We gotta plan a baby shower for Chloe."
Emily smiled. "You're such a weirdo, but sure. When?"
"Next week. It'll be a surprise and I'll fly everyone out and they can just stay for 2 extra days until the wedding. We'll have it at the banquet hall and I'll sneak out tomorrow if Harper is feeling better and buy her a cute sundress, and lemme call Anna hang on.
Hey
What's up?
I'm planning a baby shower for Chloe and it's gonna be a surprise and it's next weekend and it'll be at the banquet hall an-
Woah dude take a breath and of course! Yeah just let me know and I'll be there!
Ok! I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Bye
Chloe came home, and the 3 girls ate their food while Harper slept, and she seemed to be feeling better.
********************************
"Hey, Em. Can you watch Harper? Chloe and I are going out to lunch today."
"Yep!" Emily called as Chloe walked out of the bathroom.
"Ready to go, Becs?"
"Yep!"
The girls were at a sushi place with a long table and stools as the seating arrangement. Beca and Chloe got their sushi and sat down. 2 guys walked in and sat right next to Chloe. Chloe smiled. "Hi!" She said perkily.
"Hey, I'm Nick. What's your name?"
"I'm Chloe...and single."
Well that sparked a conversation. Nick and Chloe were talking for a few minutes before Nick's friend walked over. "Hey, I'm Ross," he said with a charming smile.
Beca rolled her eyes. "And I'm Taken," she said, showing him her left hand.
"Aaaaannnddd I'm walking back over here," he said awkwardly.
Chloe and Nick talked for an hour until his lunch break was over. Beca and Chloe left, and Beca climbed into the drivers seat. They had been driving in silence until Chloe finally spoke up. "Everything ok?"
Beca was annoyed. "Yes everything's ok," she said rudely.
Chloe pouted. "What's wrong, Beca Bear."
Beca rolled her eyes. "I wanted to spend time with you, and I ended up dealing with his annoying friend that tried to flirt with me. We barely got to talk, and that's why I went out today. So I could hang out with you. And a billion guys flirt with you at restaurants. Why did you keep talking to him?"
Chloe smiled. " because he was nice and cute and charming and he liked me and I liked him. I got his number, and we set up a date for tomorrow. I could be Mrs. Nick Carter soon."
Beca giggled. "Damn it Chloe why do you have to be so damn attractive. Guys never flirt with me."
"Are you serious? Guys always flirt with you, it's just most of the time when we go out, we're at a bar and you're really drunk."
Beca laughed. "Thanks, but I really wanted to hang out with you, plus I had a good birthday present idea so can we stop at the mall?"
"Yep!" Chloe said. "Sorry I'm attractive and I have a good personality," she said sarcastically. "But I do know how much you wanted to hang out with me, so for the rest of the day, I'm 100% yours. We'll do whatever you want because you had to sit through lunch without anyone to talk to and I feel bad."
"Thanks Chlo. I think today will be fun!"
