Chapter 15

A few days later, on October 4th, the Bellas arrived at CR and Denise's apartment for CR's 30th birthday.

"Hey, Bellas. Come on in," Denise said as the Bellas did so.

"So, where's the birthday girl?" Beca asked.

"She'll be back in a bit," Denise replied.

"Oh, and how's Rachel doing today?" Aubrey asked.

"She had a pretty good day at school today," Denise said.

"Well, that's always good," Aubrey said as CR came into the door carrying a bag of groceries.

"What's up, Bellas!" CR said.

"Happy Birthday, CR!" Chloe exclaimed.

"Thank you all. We're very happy to see you all today," CR smiled as she went into the kitchen to set down the groceries.

Denise followed CR into the kitchen to help put away the groceries while the Bellas talked to Rachel in the living room.

"What's in those bags?" Rachel asked.

"Oh, these are birthday gifts. One of your moms is having a birthday today," Beca said.

"I got her something too," Rachel said.

"Really? What did you get her?" Stacie asked as Rachel went into the kitchen.

She came back out and showed the Bellas an "I Love My Mom" coffee mug that she got CR for her birthday.

"Rachel, that was a very thoughtful gift," Aubrey said.

"Thank you. I hope she likes whatever you got her," Rachel said.

"She should. We've known your moms for a very long time," Chloe pointed out, which made Rachel smile.

CR and Denise came back with CR's birthday cake. After Denise lit the candles, the Bellas sang "Happy Birthday" to CR. After CR blew out the candles, Denise cut the cake and served it to the other Bellas in attendance. After the Bellas were finished eating the cake, CR opened her birthday gifts.
