Chapter 14:

Once the weekend was over, they all went back into their normal lives.

In time Aubrey and Stacie worked out the details of how they would divide the work at the Lodge between the 2 of them. It wasn't a quick fix, but they had time and they worked hard together to make it work from them both.

Chloe's life continued on as it was before really. From her point of view, one of her great friends had come back to live nearby and she was going to see more of Aubrey because of the new arrangements. She hoped that their time at 'On Pitch' would coincide, but knew that with Aubrey having time off from the lodge, there would be more time for them to hang anyway. She was looking forward to the few changes that would come, but basically her life worked before the weekend, and will continue to work after it. She loved her life and her friends. That was Chloe to a tee, life was a great place to be and she loved living it. Even with the hardships she had faced and would come up against, she was optimistic that everything would work out.

Chloe was also looking forward to Beca and Jesse welcoming their little baby into the world. She was looking forward to having a special place in the baby's life & she knew that she would have it. It wasn't hers, but she would love it and help Beca and Jesse raise it.

One afternoon soon after the weekend, Beca found herself back up on the mountain again. She thought about the weekend. She had had a great time out with the girls for the weekend. She felt like Stacie and Aubrey not only had a great time with friends, but also come up with a solution for what's next for both of them. She really was looking forward to working with Aubrey in the studio, and it would be nice to have Stacie back closer again. Spending time with her friends was quite enjoyable. She thought back to the things she and Chloe had talked about last week. She loved that they both could talk and be able to share their lives with each other in a way that was vulnerable, but safe. She loves having Chloe around. Beca loves the fact that she & Jesse have a solid enough marriage that Chloe isn't a threat to him. She loves having a best friend at work and her husband at home. She loved being able to hang with Chloe outside of work. She was looking forward to having this baby. Raising it with Jesse, and with help from Chloe. Life was looking up. She no longer worried that she was too close to Chloe. She felt secure in her marriage and in her friendships, and for the first time in a long time was looking forward to what the future held in store.
