Five years later. . . .

"I can't believe you and the alt-girl are actually getting married," Aubrey says to her best friend, Chloe.

"I can't either," says Chloe. "I also can't believe it's taken us three years after she proposed to finally get here. I can't believe how busy our lives have been."

Aubrey chuckled. "I still can't believe she proposed to you. I thought for sure you'd be the one to propose. I still owe Amy fifty bucks on that one."

Chloe slapped Aubrey's arm. "I can't believe you guys are still making bets on us after all this time."

"Well, I have to admit," says Aubrey with a smile, "Her proposal was well thought out and planned. So unlike Beca."

Chloe chuckled and thought back to the night Beca proposed.

Three years ago. . .

Chloe was rushing around backstage getting all her students ready for their second Christmas concert. Last year's was a big hit thanks to Beca's set list and arrangement. Having a grammy award winning music producer as a girlfriend has many perks.

Beca was pacing back and forth in the lobby of the school auditorium. She was so nervous that she thought she might pass out or worse, throw up everywhere. "What if I'm not really ready for this? What is she says no," she says to best friends Aubrey and Stacie.

"Oh my God, Beca," Stacie says. "How many times do we have to tell you, she loves you, and she will definitely say yes."

Aubrey stops Beca from pacing. "Are you nervous because you really don't think you're ready for this?"

"No," Beca quickly says. "I know Chloe is it for me. I can't see myself with anyone but her. I want to call her my wife. I want to spend everyday waking up next to her and only her. I want us to have kids and be a family, to grow old together."

Aubrey and Stacie both smile at her. "What?," Beca asks.

"You're so ready for this," Aubrey says. "And she will definitely say yes so stop worrying."

"Okay," Beca says. "I can do this."

The Christmas concert ends and the audience is on their feet cheering and clapping. Chloe walks out onto the stage and everyone finally quiets down. "Wow," she said. "I guess you folks enjoyed the show."

There were some chuckles from the audience. "I'd like to take this time to thank you, the parents, family, and friends for coming out this evening. I'd also like to thank my students. They worked hard to put this program together for you and I'm so proud of each and everyone of them." Applause rang out once again.

Chloe continued, "I'd also like to thank my amazing girlfriend for her help with the song list."

At this point, Beca walks out from behind the curtains with a bouquet of roses. She walks over to Chloe, give her a kiss on the cheek and hands her the roses. She takes the microphone and says, "Please give a round a applause to Ms. Beale for putting together a great Christmas program for us."

The audience erupts into cheers and gives another standing ovation. Chloe's cheeks flush red and she grabs Beca's hand.

"Now, before everyone leaves we has a special treat for Ms. Beale," Beca says. Chloe looks at Beca with a confused yet amused look on her face.

One of the students pulls a chair out and sets in on the side of the stage. He then goes over and escorts Chloe to the seat. Chloe looks around and sees that several of the Bellas have taken the stage. Suddenly, she hears some beats and music being sung a capella style. She recognizes the song as "All I Want for Christmas is You" and Beca starts singing. Tears spring to Chloe's eyes as she watches her Bellas, her students, and her Beca singing to her.

Beca ends the song standing right in front of Chloe. Beca takes Chloe's hand and says, "You are my person. You are the reason I get up in the morning with a smile on my face. You are everything that I didn't know that I needed and everything I ever wanted. You have my heart, Chloe Beale, and I would be very honored to be able to call you my wife. Chloe, will you marry me?" Beca gets down on one knee and holds out a ring box. Chloe's hand goes to her mouth and tears form in her eyes.

The auditorium was in total silence as everyone waited to hear what Chloe would say.

Chloe looked at Beca nodded her head and simply said, "Yes!"

The place erupted again as everyone cheered for the happy couple. Beca pulled Chloe up and placed the ring on her finger. They kissed and the Bellas, and Chloe's students, all jumped on them in a group hug.

****End Flashback****

"That was some night," Aubrey said. "Oh, and you're welcome by the way."

"And I should be thanking you because. . . ?" Chloe asks.

Aubrey laughed. "You know how Beca hates cliches but she wanted to do a big dance number to Bruno Mars' "I Think I Wanna Marry you." I talked her out of it."

Chloe laughs. She puts on her veil and says, "I think it's time I became Mrs. Chloe Mitchell."

Beca stood on the altar and watched Chloe walking down the aisle. She swears her heart has stopped beating as she stared at Chloe. She couldn't believe how far they had come in the last five years. She was a multi-grammy winning music producer. Chloe had gone from teacher to Assistant Director of the Music School. They had a house that they planned to fill with 3 kids (Chloe wanted 6; Beca "negotiated" it down to 3). And now they were having Chloe's dream wedding. Beca didn't really have any ideas on the wedding itself, so she let Chloe run with it. Beca planned the honeymoon and surprised Chloe with a 2 week honeymoon to Hawaii (Chloe always wanted to go). It was a bit cliche but she went with it.

As Chloe steps up to the altar Beca reaches out her hand and helps her. They stand facing each other, Chloe with tears in her eyes and Beca with her ever present smirk in place. Beca doesn't remember much of the ceremony, or the reception, having gotten lost in Chloe's eyes and smile. All she knows is that she is now married to the most amazing human being on the planet.

As they stand on the balcony of their hotel on the last night of their honeymoon Beca can't help but feel excited. Tomorrow they go back home and begin their new lives as a married couple. She is behind Chloe with her arms around Chloe's waist and her head resting on Chloe's shoulder. "I love you, Mrs. Mitchell," she says.

"I love you, too, Mrs. Mitchell," Chloe says and turns around to face Beca. They kiss and Beca pulls Chloe into a hug.

Growing up Beca always felt like she didn't belong and wondered where she would end up. She now knows that Chloe's arms is the one place she always belonged and she would do everything in her power to stay there. Forever.


That's it folks. A lot of fluff and cheese but after all the plots and subplots I figure our gals were due for some fluff and cheese. Hope you enjoyed the ride! Until next time.
