Unexpected Call

Rebecca Welton x Fem!Reader

I just want to say thank you for requesting!

—

Ted, Beard, Roy, Higgins, and y/n were having a little ‘meeting’ they were supposed to be talking about the foul stench coming from Tartt’s under-cubby in his locker. But instead, they dicussed their girl problems and experiences.

“Is Rebecca more of a big spoon? I’d imagine her to be. It’s hard to think she’d be a little spoon, unless she asked to be” Ted wondered a loud, y/n only laughed, “Rebecca? A little spoon? Puh-lease!” she reasoned, leaning agaisnt the closed door of their office. Higgins kept a laugh in while Ted was wheezing, Beard was only smiling. Roy kept his laugh in and only had his signature scowl. The door opened and in came the extrodinary woman they were just talking about, “I heard my name. Something you have to say?” She asked directly looking at Nate, she knew he would crack under pressure. “I- I- uh-…it was y/n!” He confessed, swallowing hard and hiding next to Roy. Y/n scoffed, “did not!” Rebecca raised an eyebrow at her, “mhm” she hummed, her upper lip folding upward slightly.

“I didn’t do anything!” Y/n shrugged, continuing to drink her pineapple juce, Rebecca narrowed her eyes and straightened her lips. Ted, Beard, Roy looked at her and quivered a bit. Though, Roy would never admit that he could be afraid of her when she was angry.

“It was her.”

“Sorry little lady”

“Nope.”

“Apologies”

Y/n was left standing on her own, “Uh! Y’know that’s soo nice!” Y/n sarcastically bopped her head to the side. Rebecca raised her eyebrow, “okay! Okay! It was me!” Rebecca’s lips formed a line, staring y/n down until she was practically sweating.

To y/n’s surprise her phone began to ring, she used it as her advantage to escape, “Oh, sorry, y’know! Duty calls!” She said in a sing-song voice, Rebecca looked at the others and left with a smirk. She had authority around the club and she knew it.

y/n went outside to take the call, it was her mother, “Hey, mom! How’s it going?” She asked, all excited, she hadn’t seen or talked to her mom in quite a while. It was nice to here her voice again. “Hello honey, it’s about…Riley.” She sounded upset, y/n knew what she was talking about but she didn’t accept. It couldn’t happen not now, not when things just started getting better. When she was starting to finally be happy again.

“Oh, what? Did she do good on her chemo? I told you that she’d make a recovery!” Y/n exclaimed, resisting the urge to cry, “she’s gone, honey. Riley’s gone. I don’t have much time but, I’ll call you later, her funeral is next week. You’re flying out right?” Y/n stayed silent, her mouth hanging open. She knew it was gonna happen, yet, it still hit her like a train.

“Yeah, uh, I’ll be there. I’ll hear ya soon” y/n mumbled, hanging up the call, she ran up to Rebecca’s office passing, Roy, Higgins, and Keeley, she completely ignored them and their concerned remarks.

As much as she loved them to, she needed Rebecca right now. Nothing could ever make her feel better than a big warm hug from Rebecca. Y/n burst into her office in tears, Rebecca, who was just finishing up her work looked up to see her distraught girlfriend in tears and sobbing her heart out.

“Oh, darling. What ever is the matter? I know that earlier about you talking about me was a joke so I’m not upset about that if this is what it’s about?” She wrapped her strong arms around y/n and guided her to the couch where y/n cuddled into her chest, sobbing into it she mumbled. “It’s not about that, it’s…” she choked on her sobs, gently, Rebecca wiped her tears away and cooed, “take your time darling, I have all day to listen” y/n looked at her and sniffled, “remember what I told you about Riley?” Y/n went on, Rebecca’s face dropped, “wait, she didn’t…” Rebecca’s words faded away as y/n’s tears came back. “She did..”

————

A week later the team accompanied y/n and Rebecca to Riley’s funeral. Rebecca never left y/n’s side, knowing her girlfriend was fragile at the moment, she didn’t allow her to be alone.

Rebecca finally met y/n’s parents but they had wished it was under better circumstances, they loved Rebecca and the way she treated y/n so it was one heavy worry taken away from y/n.

As the funeral went on, it was time for y/n’s eulogy. She had rehearsed this moment so many times it felt like a memory, now knowing how much time didn’t wait for anyone, she blamed herself for not being there for her best-friend.

stepping up onto the stage she holds back tears, “Riley, she was a- she was a very kind soul. Never once did she leave someone on the streets hungry or not donate to a organization that helped people. She loved- she-“ y/n stopped for a moment, her breathing was unsteady and her body shook, Rebecca left her seat and hugged her tightly, “you’re okay, my love. I’m here, sweetheart. Take your time, Riley would be so proud of you, darling” Rebecca hugged her tightly and let go to let her deliver her speech.

Through the whole thing she held on to her hand, proudly stroking her back as she delivered the eulogy with a heavy heart.
