This is for Electronic Zappas who reminded me how much I love an epilogue to a story to let you know what the future looks like. The story is set 18 years after "Shared Birthday" and follows the first year of College for Sarah and Charity (as well as Tyler, Stacie and Aubrey's son). Enjoy!


18 Years Later - Sarah, Charity, (and Tyler) Go to Barden

Sixteen year-old Ben Mitchell doesn't know where to look. "These girls are hot," he thinks to himself. "I can't wait until I'm in college."

He drops the boxes he was carrying in his sister's dorm room. He flops down on one of the beds as his two moms and sister come in.

"I don't see why you can't just live at home," Beca tells Sarah setting down the printer she was carrying. "You're Aunt Stacie did."

"Mama," Sarah says. "I want the whole college experience. I want to live in the dorm, eat crappy food at the campus dining halls, I want to stand on my own as Sarah Mitchell, not just be known as Beca Mitchell's daughter."

Beca's face falls. "I didn't realize that being my daughter was so horrible."

"I don't mean it like that!," Sarah says quickly hugging her mother. "It's just people treat me differently when you're around. I can't compete with the multi-Grammy winning producer, Beca Mitchell. I want to succeed or fail as me."

"Mama, leave her alone," Ben Mitchell says. "You'll still have me and I certainly don't mind being know as Beca Mitchell's son," he says with a cheeky grin.

"Hush you," Chloe says with a laugh at her son.

Chloe turns to her wife and says, "Babe, it's not like she's going across the country. We'll see her all the time. I think this will be good for her. Besides, Charity and Tyler will be here."

"Okay," Beca says with a sigh.

"Thanks, mama," Sarah says with a smile. "I love you!"

"I love you, too," Beca tells her. "Speaking of Charity. Why didn't you want to share a room with her? You already know her."

"Seriously, mama?," Sarah says. "She's my aunt. I want to be able to do my own thing without my aunt around all the time."

Just then Charity and her mother knock on the door.

"Hey everybody," Charity says.

"Speak of the devil," Beca says with a smile. "Hey, Mama B."

"Hello, Beca," Charlotte Beale says. She hugs Chloe and Sarah.

"Looks like we're neighbors," Charity tells Sarah giving her a hug. "I'm just two doors down."

"Get over here you lazy lump," Charlotte says to Ben, who is still lounging on the bed.

"Hey, grandma!," Ben says, jumping up to give her a hug. He also hugged his Aunt Charity.

Beca looks around the room and feels like the odd man out. Chloe, Charity, and Sarah could pass as triplets with their almost identical red hair and piercing blue eyes. Charlotte's hair is more gray than red, but she has the same blues eyes as her daughter and granddaughters. Ben got his mother's red hair as well, but his eyes are a darker blue, much like Beca's.

"Do you need any help with your stuff?," Ben asks Charity.

"No, I'm good," Charity replies. "Some guys helped bring everything up. Some really hot guys."

"On that note, it's time for me to go," Charlotte says. "I'll see you on Sunday. We'll go to lunch after we visit your dad's grave."

Sadly, Carl Beale passed away four years ago. Charity missed her dad and wished he could be there.

"Sounds good, mom," Charity says hugging her mother.

"I just got a text from Stacie," Beca said. "She and Aubrey are at the Bellas booth and want all of us to meet up for lunch. Mama B that includes you."

Charlotte agrees to stay and have lunch with everyone.

"Tell them we're on our way," Chloe tells Beca. She turns to Sarah and Charity. "You two can sign up for auditions," she says with a smile.

"I can't believe Tyler is going to try out for the Trebles," Sarah says.

Tyler was Stacie and Aubrey's oldest son and had skipped a grade so he was entering Barden with Sarah and Charity. Much to his mothers' chagrin he was hoping to become a Treblemaker.

The Mitchells and Beales found the Posen-Conrad family. Sarah and Charity signed up to audition for the Bellas. Tyler had already signed up to audition for the Treblemakers.

Beca hugged her nephew Austin. Austin was 13 and looked like Stacie with his brown hair and eyes. Actually, he was more like his Aunt Beca because he apparently did not inherit his mother's height. He was hoping for a growth spurt, but wasn't sure it was in the cards.

"So, where are we going to eat?," Beca asks.


Six weeks later Charity, Sarah, and Tyler find themselves in the auditorium waiting their turn to audition.

"I'm so nervous," Sarah says.

"Why?," Charity asks. "You're a legacy. They basically have to let you in."

"I'm not telling them who my mother is," Sarah said. "I want to get in on my own merits."

"That's admirable," Charity said. "And, don't worry. We're both going to be Barden Bellas, so not only will I be your aunt, I'll also be your sister."

"Eww, gross," Tyler says.

Charity laughs. All three do well with their auditions and two nights later are "kidnapped" and become Bellas and a Treblemaker.

Chloe is thrilled when she gets the call from Sarah the next morning.

"Mom, I'm a Bella!," Sarah screams excitedly. "So is Aunt Charity. And, they don't know your my mom yet so I got in on my own merit."

"I'm so proud of you, honey," Chloe said.

"I'm proud of you, too," Beca yells in the background. "What about Tyler?"

"He's a Treble, like there was any doubt," Sarah says. "I have to go. Tyler, Aunt Charity and I are going to brunch to celebrate."


Beca and Chloe are hosting Thanksgiving at their house this year. Both are up early and busy in the kitchen. Charlotte and Charity arrive and start helping. There was going to be quite the crowd this year.

"Morning moms, grandma, Aunt Charity" she says as she walks into the kitchen.

"Morning sweetie," Chloe says giving her a quick hug. "What time did you tell the Bellas and Trebles to be here?"

"I told them 1:00," Sarah says. "I figured we could watch a movie or something until it was time to eat."

The "Orphan Thanksgiving" had become a tradition in the Mitchell household. Chloe made a point of inviting any Barden Bella who couldn't go home for Thanksgiving to their house. This year, since Tyler was a Treble, they included them as well.

Aubrey and Stacie had arrived the day before with Austin. Beca's dad and step-mom, Charlotte and Charity, 4 of the Bellas, and 5 Treblemakers rounded out the guest list.

Beca had rented several tables and some chairs to accommodate everyone. As was their tradition, thanks to Aubrey, they went around the table and everyone told one thing they were thankful for.


Charlotte puts the finishing touches on the ham she was baking for Christmas Eve dinner. Charity had gone to answer the door. Charlotte wiped her hands and went to greet everyone. She smiled at the chaos of everyone trying to get inside.

Chloe and Beca brought a couple of pies for dessert and a green bean casserole. They both kissed Charlotte on the cheek and took the food they were carrying to the kitchen. Sarah and Ben ran to their grandmother and hugged her. Stacie, Aubrey, and their two boys were talking to Charity.

Dinner was done and everyone was sitting around the Christmas tree having dessert.

"Okay, everyone," Charlotte says. "Time for the presents."

Austin, as the youngest, put on the Santa hat and started handing out presents. The gifts were from and to Charity and Mrs. Beale. The others would exchange gifts at Beca and Chloe's the next morning.


Beca, Chloe, Stacie, and Aubrey were spending New Year's in New York City. Beca had been invited to host the Times Square countdown with Anderson Cooper. As midnight neared, she pulled Chloe onstage with her so she could kiss her at midnight. 5-4-3-2-Chloe grabbed Beca and kissed her.

"I love you," she tells Beca when she finally ends the kiss.

"I love you, too," Beca tells her.

Ben and Sarah were spending New Year's with Charlotte and Charity, watching Beca.

"Eww," Ben said. "I so did not need for the entire world to see our moms making out like a couple of teenagers on TV."

Sarah laughs at him. "I just love how much they still love each other and aren't afraid to show it."


Beca and Chloe throw a surprise party to celebrate Sarah and Charity's 19th birthday. Stacie, Aubrey, and Austin fly in so they can be a part of the celebration.

Chloe keeps Sarah and Charity away from the house while everything it set up. The girls are shocked when they walk in and their family and friends all yell, "Surprise!"

Tyler gives Charity and Sarah a towel as a gift. They both thank him with confused looks on their faces.

"These are crying towels for when the Trebles kiss your as-butts at Nationals," he says laughing.

The two girls use the towel and chase him around the house trying to "snap" him with them. Everyone laughs at their antics.

Chloe is sitting on Beca's lap laughing along and watching the three "children."

"Can you believe our daughter is 19?," Beca asks Chloe.

"She's grown into quite the young woman," Chloe says.

"That she has," Beca says. She pulls Chloe into a kiss.


The entire Beale/Mitchell/Posen-Conrad clan are in the audience at Lincoln Center for the ICCA finals. Both the Barden Bellas and Treblemakers made it. The winner is about to be announced and both Barden teams put on a hell of a show.

Third place is announced and both Barden teams are still in it.

"In second place, we have. . . the Barden Treblemakers," the announcer says.

The crowd cheers and Stacie and Aubrey jump to their feet.

"The Bellas could still win this," Chloe says in Beca's so she can hear her over the noise.

The crowd settles down. Chloe and Beca are holding their breaths waiting for the announcement.

"And now," the announcer says. "The moment we've all been waiting for. This year's ICCA Champions are. . .The Barden Bellas!"

Everyone goes wild. Chloe, Stacie, and Aubrey cheer loudly, remembering how they felt when they won.

Charity, Sarah, and Tyler find their families. Everyone congratulates the three on their performances.

"Don't get too cocky," Tyler tells the two Bellas. "According to the score sheet you didn't beat us by much. Wait until next year. The Trebles will be number one."


"I can't believe how fast this year has gone," Beca says as she loads Sarah's stuff into her car.

"I know," Chloe said. "Can you believe the Bellas won the ICCAs again! And, with Charity and Sarah taking over as Co-Captains next year, they will be champions again."

"I don't know," Beca says with a grin. "Tyler may have something to say about that. They came pretty close to winning this year."

"Are you rooting against your own daughter?," Chloe asks with a feigned shocked expression.

"Of course not," Beca says quickly pulling Chloe into a kiss.

"Do you two ever stop?," Ben says from behind them.

"Nope," says Beca kissing Chloe again.

"Never," says Chloe leaning in for another.


So, there you have it. Beca and Chloe have 2 kids, one of whom is a Barden Bella. Stacie and Aubrey have 2 kids, one of whom is a Barden Treblemaker. Life will go on and so will the love.

Thanks for reading my friends. Until we meet again in the next story, stay aca-awesome!
