"Good morning, Chlo!" Beca said as Chloe slowly limped into the kitchen.
"Hi!" She said with a small smile. "You want some coffee?"
"I can't, I'm pregnant with number 2!" Beca said.
"That's great!" Chloe said. "Boy or girl?"
"A boy! So he'll be a mini Jesse!"
"Aw, so cute! Here, I'll get you some milk."
"I can get it if it's too hard for y-"
"Becs, I'm ok. I promise I'm ok."
"Ok, just please try to slowly work back up to being 100%."
"I will," Chloe said with a sigh. "I just want to be able to do everything again."
Beca pulled her into a hug. "I know, I know, I'm just overprotective. Maybe we can go somewhere later. We can drive out to Central Park and go on a walk if you want. Harper's been asking to go to the park there for awhile."
"Sure!" Chloe said with a smile. "I'll go get ready!"
"great! I think Harper's up but I'll go get ready too."
"See you in a few!"
A few minutes later, Beca knocked on Chloe's door. "We'll be in the car, Chlo!"
Chloe limped out of the house a few minutes later. "H-hey," she stuttered before taking a deep breath and carefully climbing into the car.
Beca gave her a small smile and turned on the radio. Don't you know that we're outlaws, giving the finger to death itself? We got no one to hide from, We got no one to toast our health. Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled,
We were meant to be sparks of light, Running now with the raging bulls, Baby we can be magic tonight.
She noticed how tense Chloe was and held her hand. "It's ok, we're gonna be fine, only 5 more minutes."
"Ok," Chloe said, letting out a little sigh.
Beca gave her a sympathetic smile. "I know, it's the car and the fear, it's ok. I went through it too."
"It's just so frustrating, that I don't even remember the accident and I'm so afraid. I just...I don't even know, it just sounds so horrible and I don't want to go through that, or ever put you through seeing me like this."
"Chlo, it's ok, you're gonna be ok, and you'll get over this fear. I promise."
Beca parked the car and got her daughter out of the car seat. "Ready to go play, sweetie?"
"Yeah!" Harper said.
After the short walk to the playground, Beca and Chloe sat down on the bench. "Can I take this thing off?" Chloe complained.
"Yeah just put it back on when you want to walk around." Beca said.
Chloe took it off. "Ugh, it's such a pain, and it's really not that much easier than crutches."
"I know! $150 for not that much better than real crutches. Oh well though. So how are you feeling?"
"Pretty good! A little lightheaded from that walk, but I'm ok."
"Good because we have to go to the recording studio today. We're working on covers today."
"Sounds fun! Can we walk there?"
"Chlo, it's gonna be ok."
"Ok. So when are we doing concerts?"
"Well we have one tomorrow night, but only if you're up to it."
"I'll be up to it."
"Good! You want something to drink?"
"Yeah, I can go get us a soda or something..."
"Nah it's fine I'll get it. But thanks Chlo."
Beca came back with a soda 3 minutes later. "here ya go! It's Diet Pepsi."
"Thanks Becs! You know we should probably get going if we want to record later."
"Ok! Harper, sweeti, we gotta go because Mommy and Aunt Chloe have to go to work later."
"Ok," she said as she ran up to her mom.
Harper walked hand in hand with her mom and her aunt. "Swing me!"
Beca glanced at Chloe. "Are you able to-"
"I think so," she said. "1...2...SWING!" She said with a laugh as she and Beca lifted the little girl in the air.
"Again again."
Beca laughed. "Maybe later, sweetie. Aunt Chloe is still recovering."
Chloe smiled at the little girl. "Yeah sweetie, maybe later. I have to catch my breath for awhile. I'm still recovering from the accident."
"Ok," Harper said sadly.
Chloe climbed into the car and Beca took her hand when she noticed how tense she was. "It's ok."
Chloe nodded and gave her a small smile, but continued to hold her hand the whole ride home.
Chloe quickly got out of the car. "Do you guys wanna come in for lunch?"
"Sure!" Beca said
After they ate, Beca left Harper with Anna so she and Chloe could go record. Chloe grabbed Beca's hand the second she got in the car. Beca laughed. "Is this gonna be like a thing now?"
Chloe sighed. "Ugh, I'm such a baby. Why can't I just get over this?"
"Hey, don't be so down on yourself." Beca squeezed her hand. "You'll get through this, and you're definitely not a baby. I would be terrified to even get in a car. You're doing great."
Chloe smiled. "Thanks, I think I can get through this."
"Good!" Beca squeezed her hand again. "Here we are!" She said as she pulled into a parking spot and helped Chloe out of the car. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine, great actually!"
Beca and Chloe got into the elevator and went to her floor. "Here we are!" She said. They started recording a cover of Out of the Woods.
Chloe started singing, but she seemed really nervous. Beca stopped the track and went into the booth. "You ok?"
"I've never done this before and I don't know if I'm doing it right"
"You're doing great Chlo. Just keep going."
Chloe nodded and put her headphones back on. They finished the song and went back home and watched tv. It had been a really long day for Chloe and she really needed rest.
