Never, never did I think

5.

It's been a week since Beca left home and Chloes really struggling. Parker refuses to listen to her, claiming that it's her fault momma won't come see them. She knows he's right but it's still hard.

Beca's been staying with Jesse and Aubrey. When Aubrey came home she talked to both Beca and Chloe seeing what happened. Even with what Tom said Beca's still mad, Aubrey understands that and is giving her time to cool down but she sees her best friend spiraling in a bad way.

Beca's been working hard in the studio, trying to do anything to get her mind off it. She played one of her singles live on Ellen the other night. She was surprised that her voice didn't crack with how emotional she was getting.

Chloe and the kids watched from home. She was so proud of her wife but it hurt hearing the song. She could also tell Beca was putting on a fake smile. When Ellen asked about the inspiration behind the songs you could see the anger back in Beca's face as she spoke about Chloe.

"Jess" she said coming down the stairs.
"Yeah?" He asked walking out the kitchen.
"I think I wanna go home, I miss my kids." Beca said.
"Oh okay, you want me to come? Aubrey's already over there but I know you and I were always closer." He asked.
"Yeah that sounds good, where are your kids?" She asked.
"Playing with yours." He explained.
"Oh okay. Let's go" she said walking towards the door.

They got in the car and Beca drove them over to her house. Once they arrived she nervously got out of the car and walked up the steps. She turned the knob finding it unlocked and walked in, Jesse behind her.

They could hear laughing from the kitchen where they believed Aubrey and Chloe were. Beca assumed her kids were upstairs.
"Do you want to go up to your kids and I talk to Bree and Chloe?" Jesse asked and Beca just nodded.

Beca slowly made her way upstairs to Parker's room where she heard voices. She opened the door to see Parker, Hadley and Jesse's son, Jake.
"Momma!" Parker yelled quickly jumping in her arms.
"Hey bud, I've missed you so much" she said hugging him tight.
"I've missed you too, are you staying home?" He asked.
"I'm not sure buddy, I might. Have you been being good for mommy?" She asked and he looked away.
"Not really, I've missed you and only wanted you. I'm sorry momma" he said.
"Now I'm not the one you need to apologize to" she said and he nodded.
"Hi momma" Hadley said hugging her leg.
"Hey princess, I've missed you" she said.
"I've missed you too" she said.
"Now I think we should go downstairs and you need to apologize to mommy son" she said sternly and he nodded.
They all walked downstairs, Beca stood in the doorway and Parker walked over to Chloe.
"Mommy?" He asked getting her attention.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"I'm sorry for not being good for you while momma was gone." He said and Chloe met Beca's eye.
"It's okay bud, just don't do it again okay" she said.
"Okay" he said before running to Beca.
"Was that good?" He asked.
"Yeah bud it was but don't be bad again." He told him with a slap to the back of his head.
"I won't" he said.
"Okay, go play" she said with a smile.
"Beca" Chloe said standing.
"Hey Chlo" she said quietly.
"I'm so sorry" she whispered.
"I know, Tom explained what happened. It just took me some time to cool off" she said.
"I don't want him at all I only want you" Chloe said with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Hey now" Beca said walking towards her, placing her hands on Chloes cheeks, wiping the tears off.
"Please don't be mad at me, I love you I can't lose you" Chloe said in hysterics.
Beca just pulled her into a hug, letting the redhead cry it out as she rubbed her back.
"Shh, it's okay Chlo, just calm down" she whispered in her ear as Chloe clings to her.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" she cried.
"I know you are" Beca whispered.
It broke her heart seeing Chloe in that state. She could tell the redhead regretted what happened.
"Come on" Beca said slowly leading them to the couch.
She laid down with Chloe laying on top of her. Beca continued rubbing her back and whispering reassuring things in her ear and the redhead cried. Aubrey and Jesse stayed in the kitchen until they heard Chloe stop crying.
"You good Bec?" Jesse asked softly.
"I'm good, I think she fell asleep." She said moving Chloes hair out of her face before kissing the top of her forehead.
"You staying home?" Aubrey asked.
"Yeah, I'm staying home. I'll get my stuff from you guys later. Thank you" she said and they both smiled.
"We can take the kids to ours so you guys can have some time alone. Chloe's probably going to be asleep for a couple hours considering she hasn't really slept since you left. I can bring your stuff over when we drop the kids back" Aubrey suggested.
"That sounds great Bree, thanks" she said with a smile.
"No problem" she said walking up the stairs to the kids.

They got all the kids and headed over to their house. Beca just laid there, rubbing Chloes back and leaving a kiss on her forehead every once in a while. She soon fell into a peaceful sleep as well.

A few hours later Beca woke up before Chloe. She wanted to let the redhead sleep a little longer but she really had to pee.
"Chlo, Chlo bear wake up bub" Beca whispered as she slowly moved the girl.
"Please no" Chloe mumbled in her sleep.
"I gotta pee baby please" Beca asked, trying to wake her again.
"You're actually here" Chloe said lifting her head.
"I am. I'm here but I gotta pee" she whined and Chloe moved off her.
Beca quickly got up and headed for the bathroom. Once she came back she sat next to Chloe who immediately hugged her.
"I thought it was just a dream" she said.
"I'm real, I'm here Chlo, I'm not leaving" she said and felt Chloe smile against her neck.
"Promise?" She asked holding her pinky out.
"Promise" Beca said linking their fingers before giving Chloe a soft kiss.
"Bree and Jesse took the kids to theirs for a little. They should be coming back anytime now" Beca said checking the time.
"Why'd they go there if they were already here?" Chloe asked confused.
"Because you were having a whole meltdown and we didn't want you waking once you fell asleep. Bree told me you barely slept. I wanted you sleeping as long as possible." Beca said.
"I'm sorry" Chloe said again.
"Stop apologizing love" Beca told her.
"But I am. I'm so sorry" she said.
"I know bub, I know" Beca said hugging her again.
"I'm so happy you're back" she said against her shoulder.
"Me too"
