When I look at you

Road trips

No matter how many award shows, interviews, talk shows, performances and public speaking Beca Mitchell does, she is always, without a doubt, nervous as hell. Like the first time she ever went on David Letterman, and he embarrassed her by asking about her love life. And of course, Beca Mitchell hates lying, so she couldn't help but slyly mention Chloe. Now, as she stood backstage waiting to go on Ellen, her nerves were getting the better of her. Sure, she's been on Ellen before, and she's becoming more and more confident, but for some reason, she couldn't shake the nerves off of her. She's pulled out of any thoughts of backing away, as she hears Ellen's voice from over the wall in front of her.

"My next guest was here last June. She's a little DJ slash music producer slash singer. I don't know if you've heard of her. She's married to that, uh- that Chloe Beale girl. You know the one who worked with Johnny Depp?" the whole audience laughed and cheered at Ellen's sarcasm, all going crazy at the fact that Beca is going to be on the show. "Anyway, she's here today to talk about.. you know what, I actually don't know what she's here to talk about. She's just here because I asked her to be. Please welcome, Beca Mitchell-Beale!"

And then Beca heard the crowd go crazy again and she looked at her manager who was standing beside her, and gave her a little smile.

"Go get 'em, kiddo." Kim grinned and pushed Beca forward slightly, signalling for her to go out.

Beca walked out to the sound of 'Pocketful of sunshine' by Natasha Bedingfield playing. (Chloe's choice, not hers. The redhead picked it remembering the time when she walked into the kitchen to see Beca singing her heart out to it. She'll never let her live that one down.) The roar of applause she got on the way to the stage gave her all the encouragement she needed, and she looked out into the audience to see Chloe smiling proudly, and clapping the loudest. And if that doesn't encourage her, then what does?

"Hi!" Ellen greeted her once she reached the stage and stepped on to the interview platform, giving her a tight hug. She responded with a quiet "hey" before they both sat down, ready to start the interview.

"Look at you, you're-still as small as the last time I saw you."

Beca laughed nervously, muttering a "shut up" under her breath, albeit in a joking manner, and Ellen laughed at her nervousness.

"So, do you remember last time you were here?"

"Yeah, you brought Chloe on stage to embarrass me."

"We can bring her on stage again, if you want?"

"That's not necessary." the brunette laughed, knowing that Ellen was kidding.

"But seriously, last time you were here, you and Chloe had been dating for what-a few weeks?"

"Something like that, yeah."

"And now your married!"

The whole audience burst into a fit of applause again and Beca grinned, looking out to make eye contact with her wife. "We are married now."

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you very much."

"So how's married life treating you?" the blonde asked, unable to hide her huge grin at the thought of Beca and Chloe, the happy couple.

"It's uh-it's really great. I never thought being married would be so.. so amazing? I honestly can't think of a good enough word to describe it. It's absolutely incredible, you know? I never thought I'd be so happy. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me-she's the best thing that's ever happened to me."

The crowd all aww'd and applauded the DJ, and as Beca looked out into the audience, she saw that Chloe had a huge smile on her face and her eyes were glistening with un-shed tears.
