The Bully

"She kissed me back!" Chloe yelled as she walked into the house, but instead of her excited mothers there to hug her, she saw them standing with a man whom she'd never seen before.

"Chloe darling, this is Mark." Kelly introduced. "He says you're his biological daughter."

"Wait." Chloe stopped. Her mood had gone from happy to angry in a matter of seconds. "What?"

"Chloe, I am your father." The man said with a shy smile.

"No!" Chloe yelled.

"Sweetie." Kelly said and reached towards her daughter.

"Don't touch me." Chloe yelled and ran upstairs. She slammed her door and took out her phone. She saw a message from Beca.

"Are we...a couple?" Beca asked. Chloe had left Beca's house before this conversation came up.

"Yes." Chloe replied. "If you want."

"Of course I want to be your girlfriend." Beca texted.

Chloe sent a smiling emoji before her door opened slowly.

"You kissed Beca again?" Paige asked.

"Don't try to change the subject." Chloe said. "That man abandoned my mom and I."

"I know sweetie." Paige said.

"My mom was too young to take care of me by herself." Chloe said. "That man is the reason my mom died."

"I know honey." Paige said. "You can't let this ruin your day. Kelly and I asked him to leave. He's gone."

"Okay." Chloe sighed.

"Tell me about Beca's house." Paige smiled at her daughter.

"We're a couple now." Chloe smiled.

"That's wonderful!" Paige squealed.

Chloe smiled. She loved her moms.

"We're a couple!" Beca squealed when she saw the text from Chloe. "Jenna!"

Jenna smiled at her sister. "Look at you with your girlfriend!"

"I'm one step ahead of you." Beca smirked.

"It's not that I can't get a boyfriend, it's just that I don't want a boyfriend." Jenna said.

"Sure." Beca replied with a sarcastic eye roll.

Paige walked downstairs to see Kelly staring at her phone.

"Whatcha staring at Kel?" Paige asked.

"Mark keeps texting me!" Kelly said in frustration.

"Why?" Paige asked.

"He wants to see Chloe. I can't trust him with our baby girl." Kelly sighed.

"Technically she's his baby girl." Paige said.

"But we love her!" Kelly whined.

"I know Babe." Paige reached over to hug her wife. "You'll never guess what happened today."

"Oh no." Kelly sighed.

"Chloe kissed Beca again." Paige said.

"Ugh will that girl ever take a hint?" Kelly sighed.

"And Beca kissed back." Paige finished.

"What?!" Kelly said.

"Our little baby has a girlfriend!" Paige said.

"Oh my God!" Kelly said, half excited, half nervous. "I've got to meet this girl. And her parents!"

"Don't go all crazy overprotective mom!" Paige laughed. "Give them time to get to know each other and then we can meet her if Chloe is serious about her."

"Fine." Kelly agreed.

"Personally, if Chloe likes her, I like her." Paige smiled.

"Aww, aren't you such a good mom!" Kelly said and pulled her wife in for a kiss. "I still wanna meet this chick."

They both laughed.
