A/N Hey guys, I know that it's been half a year. Apologies on the previous upload as well. Apparently there is some problem with spacing also. So you might find some periods here and there. But here it is, the final chapter!
"Better Place" by Rachel Platten. Love this song and it fits perfectly. Hope y'all enjoyed it. Cheers!

Back at the platform
Holding hand in hand, Beca walked Aubrey to the car. Subconsciously still thinking about what Stacie just told her.
As she was about to open the car door, Aubrey took Beca's hand in hers. Turning her around to face Aubrey, resulting with Beca leaning by the car.
"Thank you for everything today, Beca. It has been such an amazing night out with you. I have never been so happy in my life."
"I'm glad to hear that." Beca smiled happily.
"Being able to meet you was the best thing that ever happened to me. This might be seemed too fast but, would you be my girlfriend?"
Aubrey smiled and pulled Beca in for a heated kiss. "I thought you'd never ask."
Beca never expected the kiss. Well, in fact, she had never expected anything at all. Not even an answer. She was pushing her luck, hoping for the best. But at that instance, all thoughts were thrown away. Beca was entirely pinned against the car and she couldn't stop tasting Aubrey's soft lips. The space in between them fits in like puzzles that were meant to be with Aubrey spooning over Beca's small framed body. The need to breath broke the kiss but both were still embraced in each other arm, forehead to forehead. Not wanting to break the connection they've just established.
"Uhm, Stacie might have said that she will be staying over at a friend's house today, so…my place is free to stay." Beca stated shyly
Aubrey smirked at the shy brunette. Feeling naughty, Aubrey mischievously replied. "Well, let's not waste the opportunity provided then."
…
That was 3 years ago, when Beca and Aubrey have their first date, when Beca first asked Aubrey to be her girlfriend even though she thought she's probable crazy for even asking. That was 3 years ago, since Beca took a leap of faith to trust herself and Aubrey. And the newly built relationship had then become much more intimate and concrete. 3 years with Aubrey has been the greatest time Beca could ever wished for. It was filled with all emotions and each of the memory held dearly to Beca.
Aubrey and Beca have been through thick and thin together. They have cried in each other's arm the first time they broke up, they have celebrated Aubrey's biggest winning case, they have hugged each other so tightly when Beca missed Aubrey so much as she was crashing through her career, they shed tears of joy together when both their parents approved their relationship, they have dance around together when they moved into a new apartment, they have jumped in ecstasy when Aubrey managed to achieve her ambition in opening a music academy. They have hoped that time stood still as they looked at each other, under the mistletoe at their first Christmas.
Every single day was extremely precious to Beca. No matter how harsh the times were, they always tried to conquer it together. In the span of 3 years, their relationship had grown stronger and so did their career. Now, Aubrey's a partner with Joseph & Lauren while Beca had started her own record company, Creative Bass. The couple also own Dream Music Academy and assembled together an all girl's acapella group named "The Bella's". The academy even had soundtracks composed and has released their own volume of songs.
3 years ago, Beca fell in love with Aubrey. This love has only been growing greater over days. Beca would be filled with hope and love, always ready to strive for the best whenever she knows that Aubrey was there. And Beca hoped to provide the same to Aubrey. She wants to be the person that Aubrey would share her joy with. She wants to be the person to hold Aubrey in her arm and comfort whenever Aubrey was sad. She wants to be the person that could support Aubrey whenever needed. She wants to wake up in the morning to see Aubrey's beautiful face. She wants to be the luckiest person on earth. She wants to call Aubrey, her wife. She wants to marry Aubrey!
…
Beca walked into Brunch In and headed towards the 2 ladies waiting for her.
"Hey girls. Sorry that I ran a little late."
"It's alright, Becs." Stacie hugged Beca before sitting down beside a very worried Chloe.
"So, what's the emergency that you have called both of us out together?"
Usually Beca would call only either of them if anything happened. The last time Beca phoned them both was when Beca and Aubrey had a huge argument to the point that they broke up. Both girls were so worried that their beloved friends were never getting back together again.
"Don't fret. Nothing happened this time. Me and Aubrey are still together and I would never ever leave her!" Beca assured. Both her friends then relaxed themselves.
"I called you guys out cause I needed your help." Beca said nervously. She knew that Chloe and Stacie will be more than happy to help but the thought of marrying Aubrey still blows her mind!
"I want to propose to Aubrey. But I can't do it perfectly without your help."
Instantly, Chloe's face broke into her famous smile. "Omg, Beca!" Chloe would have tackled Beca down out of joy but the table was in the way. So, she settled with hugging the air out of Stacie instead.
"I'm so happy for you, Becs!" Stacie joined in after calming the red head down.
"I'm taking that it's a Yes from both of you" Happy that both her friends were as excited as she was.
Beca then told them her plan and the things that they needed to prepare.
…
Just last week, Aubrey managed to close a huge case. The case has tired her out heavily.
Today, Aubrey finished her day early since Chloe wanted to hang out. She prepared herself and waited for Chloe's arrival.
Chloe wanted to walk around town and a drive to the edge of town. Beca informed that she was needed at the studio, so, Aubrey was really looking forward to spending quality time with Chloe.
For the remaining day, Chloe brought Aubrey around town. Eating ice cream, window shopping and relaxing on the park. Evening came by and as the sun was setting, Chloe then drove Aubrey out of town and enjoy the sight of the sun setting by the horizon of the town. The slow drive brought Aubrey back to when Beca first drove her out of town.
"It's so beautiful, Chlo. It reminds me of the first time Beca brought me out on a date." Aubrey smiled in reminiscence.
"She would love to hang out with us today if she didn't had work calling in" Chloe smiled, trying her hardest to hold in her excitement. She was truly happy that Aubrey and Beca were together. They were made for each other, the perfect match of pieces and completed each other's weaknesses. Whenever Aubrey frets, Beca would be there to calm her down. When Beca's insecurities rises, Aubrey's assurance would be the cure to it. They grew stronger as a couple.
As Chloe drove up the same trail that Beca brought Aubrey to, the sky has slowly darkened and Aubrey wondered why were they heading up. The sun would set soon and there would be nothing to view. Just as she wanted to ask Chloe why, she saw a hint of light at the end of the road where the platform was. With the remaining glow from the setting sun, a familiar shadow came into sight as the car stopped.
In view, a trail of light was made using candles and standing at the final spot, was Beca waiting with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"What's happening, Chlo?" Aubrey asked as she exited the car.
"Wait for it" Smiling, Chloe guided a very confused Aubrey nearer towards Beca.
As Aubrey made her way closer to Beca, acapella vocals came flowing in and Beca started singing. Slowly, Aubrey can see the rest of the Bella's were there with Beca! Standing behind Beca were Stacie, Denise, CS and even Amy!
...
I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me
.
And Ah... You're my favourite thing
Ah… All the love that you've bring
Well it feels like I've open my eyes again
And the colours are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
.
I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
It's just feels so right
So, I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am
.
And Ah... You're my favourite thing
Ah... All the happiness you bring
Well it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colours are golden and bright again
And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings her song
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along~
.
Now I'm alright, now I'm alright,
Everything's alright
.
Cause it feels like I've open my eyes again
And the colours are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
.
As the song ended, Beca moved forward to Aubrey.
"Aubrey, I couldn't fully describe how much you meant to me." Looking deeply into the teary eyes, Beca held Aubrey's hand and smiled.
"You are the sunshine that gave me hope during my darkest moment. You are the comfort I searched for during my lowest point of life. You are the pillar that gave me strength and support when I started my career. It still baffles me as to why I'm so lucky to have you as my girlfriend. We've been through so much in 3 years and every single day I see you, I love you more. I love how you mix your coffee with cinnamon and share it with me on a rainy day, I love how you smile and cuddle with me the entire night when all I needed was a hug. I want to be the person that could support you equally, I want to be the person that makes you smile, I want to be the person that could share your joy."
"I want to wake up every morning to see your face and call you my wife." Still holding onto Aubrey's hand, Beca then knelt on one knee. "Aubrey Grace Posen, can I be the one that stand by you always? Will you allow me to be the happiest person on earth and have me as your wife? Will you marry me?"
The entire Bella squad held their breath before Aubrey broke into a tearful smile and say "Beca Raven Mitchsen, you are the person that completes me. You gave me every support that you could afford. You loved me endlessly when I was stressed out for work. You helped me achieved my dreams. Yes! Yes, I will marry you!"
...
A sound of cheer came from the Bella's as they all surrounded the newly engaged couple.
"Awwwww yeah! Shawshank nailed it!" Fat Amy announced. "You gotta let us join in to plan your wedding"
"Oh yeah, I'll make sure you have the best outfit!" Stacie exclaimed while Chloe nodded in agreement.
"And we'll handle the AV system and soundtrack!" Cynthia Rose promised.
All the Bella's congratulated the couple and a group hug session happened before they were dismissed.
…
Beca drove Aubrey back to their shared apartment. It started from the door as the couple entered. Lips fused together, jackets thrown away, Beca quickly closed the door while guiding Aubrey towards their bedroom.
Throughout the night, the couple made sweet love to each other. Lying on the bed, Beca slowly undressed Aubrey while soft lips trailed on familiar spots along Aubrey's jawline, heading down her abdomen. Burning from lust, Aubrey pulled Beca into a deep kiss. Throwing the jeans that was in the way, Beca shivered to the touch of Aubrey's cold hands against her waist. Soft moans came from Beca as the younger brunette sink into Aubrey's kisses. She can't stop herself from grinding against the older blonde. The sight of Beca riding on her droves Aubrey even more crazy (Damn! She's sexy!). Aubrey shifted slightly, matching the rhythm to gain more contact. Dominating and being dominated, the role was exchanged till both fell asleep, very much in love in each other's arm.
Somewhere around midnight, Beca woke up. With the moonlight shining upon Aubrey, she saw the love of her life sleeping soundlessly. There was a hint of smile on Aubrey's face. Beca pulled Aubrey closer to her, softly, she kissed her forehead. She couldn't help feeling teary again. Tears of joy, cause from this day onwards till forever, Beca will continue to cherish every single day with Aubrey. Every moment together would be happiness. And eventually, Beca dozed off with a smile matching to Aubrey's, her wife to be.
THE END
