Bechloe - One For My Baby

Chapter XLIV

"Rebecca Mitchell," Principal Abernathy called out, making Beca walk out onto the stage and collect her graduation certificate.

The crowd cheered for the girl, especially Mark who was over the moon for his daughter. Beca had passed her final year at Barden High with flying colours and he couldn't have been prouder. Since the names were being called out in alphabetical order, Chloe went before Beca and when her name was called out, loud cheers and hollers were heard and Chloe saw that Mark was standing with Sergeant Tandy and the other police officers that worked with Chloe and helped her. Chloe teared up but she didn't cry. She had cried a lot and she didn't want to shed any more tears but she knew deep down that she was going to. The best year of her life was coming to an end but she knew that only better things were going to come.

Once all of the student's names were called out, they all stood on the stage together and received a standing ovation from the crowd that consisted of friends, family, teachers, and others. Beca couldn't stop smiling while everyone was cheering. She had finally done it and she knew she couldn't have done it without the love of her life. Beca turned her head so she could look at Chloe who was a few rows behind her. Chloe looked over at Beca and smiled at her happily. They were both so proud of each other and they couldn't wait to start the next chapter of their lives together. They still had to talk about Los Angeles but they were going to wait a bit before they did that. Tonight they were going to a graduation party where all of the graduates were going to celebrate their success at Zoe's house. Beca and her friends weren't really party people but this was different so they were all going to go.

"I'm so proud of you!" Mark wrapped his arms around his daughter tightly once Beca and the rest of the students finished the ceremony.

"Dad, you're crushing me!" Beca laughed.

"I'm so proud of you, my little girl! I knew you could do it!" Mark kissed Beca's head multiple times before he let the girl go and pulled Chloe into his arms for a just as tight hug.

Chloe giggled and wrapped her arms around the man. Beca smiled at the interaction. Chloe finally had a father figure and they acted as if they were actually a father and daughter. Beca was proud of her accomplishments but she was more proud of her girlfriend. The redhead had achieved and conquered so much over the past year and Beca adored her and admired her for it.

"There she is!" Sargeant Tandy and the other police officers swarmed Chloe.

They all gave her hugs and kisses, telling her how proud they were of her and how Chloe was going to achieve so much with her life. Chloe let a few tears fall when she hugged them but they were tears of happiness. Chloe never thought that she'd get so much support and she was grateful beyond words. For the first time in her life, she felt like she had a proper family and she loved it. Her life was finally coming together and she couldn't have been happier.

"I'm so proud of you, babe," Beca said, wrapping an arm around the redhead once they finished getting bombarded with hugs and photos.

"Are you kidding? I'm so proud of YOU. You did it, Becs. You get to go to L.A."

Beca's smile slowly fell. "We still need to talk about that."

"I know we do... but not now. Let's just enjoy our moment and our party tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Beca nodded. "Okay."

Chloe smiled at the alt-girl then leaned in and gave her a kiss until they were interrupted when their friends jumped on them.

"GROUP HUG!" Fat Amy exclaimed.

"Amy!" Beca protested.

"Hugs not drugs!" Stacie said.
