Call Me Crazy (A Bechloe Fanfiction)

Chapter 16

"Hey babe, I thought we could go to dinner at my parents' house if you're up to it?" Chloe asked, walking into the living room. Beca has had her cast on for about 3 weeks now and although she was feeling much better, the cast was still uncomfortable and she wasn't up to doing much more than she had to.

"Yeah, sure," Beca said. "Wait, do they even know about me?"

"Yeah, they know who you are," Chloe replied. "They just think you're my roommate and former therapist, and they're really glad I'm here with you because they know I'm safe."

"Aww that's sweet," Beca said softly before sitting down on the floor to stretch her leg. "So we're just gonna spring it on them?"

"Yeah, Jenny's Wedding style," Chloe said with a laugh, sitting down on the floor next to Beca and pulling the smaller girl onto her lap. "Anyway, how's your leg feeling?"

"Tight," Beca sighed. "It hurts so bad trying to stretch it."

"Aww I'm sorry," Chloe said sympathetically. "It's just because the cast is pretty heavy. You're getting the new one in a week so you'll probably start physical therapy in 5 weeks."

"Ugh that's so long," Beca sighed. "Help me up onto the couch?" She asked hopefully, trying her best to pull herself up.

Chloe smiled sympathetically and lifted Beca onto the couch. "So we have to leave around 4:30 and we'll be there by 6ish."

"Damn that's far," Beca said with a laugh. "Where do they live?"

"Dalton," Chloe shrugged. "It's not too bad, especially when my fiancé makes amazing playlists."

"Who says I'm gonna play one of my playlists?" Beca asked with a smirk.

"Oh come on you always-"

"I'm kidding babe," Beca said with a laugh, giving the blonde a kiss. I'm gonna go shower. You'll be ok?"

"Yeah, of course," Chloe said. "Are you gonna be ok?"

"Yeah I'm good," Beca said.

She came back a few minutes later and Chloe had made her a cup of coffee and was making French toast. "Breakfast for lunch?" She asked with a smirk.

"Always," Chloe said with a laugh. "Just go sit on the couch, I'll get it ready for you."

"I'm sure I can help with something," she said, slowly making her way into the kitchen. She attempted to get a plate from the cabinet and dropped one of her crutches, quickly grabbing onto the counter. "Shit," she said under her breath.

Chloe picked up the crutch and handed it to her. "It's ok, babe, just relax, alright?"

"Alright," Beca sighed. "Can you carry my coffee in there for me?" She asked quietly.

"Of course," Chloe said sympathetically, carrying Beca's coffee into the living room with her and helping her put her foot up under a pillow. "There you go, baby," she said, giving the brunette a soft smile.

"Don't look at me like that," Beca sighed.

"Like what?"

"Like you feel bad for me."

"I do though," Chloe said. "You're struggling and it makes me sad."

"You struggle with things every day though," Beca replied sadly. "And I try my best to treat you the same as I normally would, so please don't act like you feel bad for me. I don't need sympathy. I appreciate it and I love you, but I just don't want to be a burden."

"I get it," Chloe replied. "Sorry if I made you feel like that."

"It's ok baby, you didn't realize," Beca said sweetly. "I love you."

"I love you too," Chloe replied with a laugh. "I'm gonna go finish the French toast."

*********

"I'm nervous. What if they don't like me?" Beca asked anxiously as they pulled into the driveway. "Have they ever met a girlfriend of yours before? This is horrible."

"They're not super comfortable with my sexuality but I'm sure it'll be fine," Chloe shrugged. "Do you need help out of the car?"

"Can we just stay in the car?" Beca asked with a sigh.

"No, silly," Chloe said with a laugh, opening the passenger door for Beca to help her out. She handed the brunette her crutches and they slowly made their way up the front steps. Chloe knocked on the door and her parents answered a second later.

"Chloe!" Her mom said happily, opening the door and giving the blonde a hug. "Who's this?"

"This is Beca!" Chloe said, stepping out of the way so she could help Beca inside.

"Hi honey, it's nice to meet you!" Her mom replied. "I'm Cindy and this is my husband John."

"It's nice to meet you too," Beca said with a smile.

Chloe smiled. "We're gonna go get settled in the living room, alright?"

"Ok Chlo, let me know if you need anything," Cindy replied.

They went into the living room and sat down on the couch. Chloe helped Beca put her foot up on the coffee table and sat back down next to her. "When are we gonna tell them?" Beca asked.

"In a little bit," Chloe shrugged. "I'm kinda trying to figure out how."

Chloe's parents came back a minute later with glasses of water for them. "So how have you been, Chloe?" John asked.

"Great!" Chloe replied with a huge smile. "Beca's been amazing and she's been keeping me stable ever since I get out of the hospital."

"That's so great honey!" Cindy said. "Beca, what did you do to your leg?"

"Oh I fractured 2 different bones in my foot and ankle," she shrugged. "Me and Chloe were ice skating and I'm not very good," she said with a laugh.

"Aw I'm sorry honey. How long are you in the cast?"

"Another month," Beca replied. "It hasn't been too bad, Chloe's been taking care of me and helping me out a lot."

"That's good," Cindy replied.

Suddenly the conversation turned awkward and there were a brief few seconds where the silence was eating Chloe alive, so she decided to speak up. "Mom, Dad, there's something I have to tell you guys. Well really it's something me and Beca have to tell you guys. Anyways, we're engaged."

"That's great girls!" Cindy said happily. "When?"

"A month ago," Beca replied. "I proposed when we were in Chicago. We've only been together for about 2 months but I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

"That's sweet girls! I'm so happy for you both!" Cindy said, giving the 2 girls a hug.

Meanwhile, John was sitting there not saying anything, and Chloe was the only one who seemed to notice, but she didn't care. All she cared about was that she was marrying the love of her life and that her mother would be supporting her. Things were looking great for them!
