Beca was exhausted, it was the third week of house hunting with Chloe, and the fifth month of planning their wedding, add on she had another week before exams for school and she was dead. Chloe was great to her, helping her study and making sure she ate, she even took care of Mabel even when she swore she wouldn't. She walked into the small apartment falling face down onto the couch in the living room, Mabel jumped on the small of her back curling up.

"Chloe, I'm dying." Beca whined into the silent room, after a few moments of the same deafening silence, she looked around. "Chloe? Babe where are you?" Just then her phone started to ring, chloe's name was on the screen.

"Babe, I know this is a huge…"

"Where are you?"

"At Aubrey's."

"Why didn't you text me I would've come over." Beca whined. "I miss you."

"Beca, focus for a moment." Beca rolled over grabbing Mabel before the dog hit the floor.

"You sound upset."

"I got a call this afternoon, Benji's brother is in the army remember?" Chloe asked and Beca sighed nodding, she let her head fall into her hands.

"Babe… he's…"

"He's ok, but his service dog isn't."

"Ok?" Beca was really lost now, but had a bad feeling on where this would end up.

"Her name is Aspen, she's a German Sheppard, babe I know we just got Mabel but…"

"Bring her home, what is wrong with her exactly?" Beca asked, and heard the dog bark on the other side of the line.

"Just a little bigger than a lab, and she's unable to hear out one ear now." Beca sighed and looked around the small apartment.

"We need a bigger place…"

"Well I also wanted to say I lined up at open house for tomorrow afternoon." Chloe said.

"Ok well I'll talk to you when you get home ok?"

"Ok I'm on my way." Chloe smiled, hanging up.

"Beca? You alive?" Chloe asked poking the young girl in the back, Beca had fallen back asleep on the couch in the few minutes it took for Chloe to get home. When Beca didn't wake up Chloe climbed over her and settled against her, she kissed the top of her head and wrapped her arms around her.

"I'm awake." Beca yawned and Chloe laughed.

"It's ok, go back to sleep.

"We need to eat, and get the dog."

"She's here, and yes we need food." Beca nodded and rolled so she was facing Chloe. "I convinced Aubrey and Jesse to bring over pizza in an hour, and a movie, I know you hate movies but Beca we haven't relaxed in I don't know how long."

"That sounds wonderful actually, as long as I can nap till then." Beca said and Chloe kissed her neck.

"Well I had other plans but…" Beca's eyes shot opened and she kissed Chloe.

"I can deal with plans." Beca whispered against Chloe's lips.

Exactly an hour later Aubrey was knocking on the door, Beca pulled a tank top on and was finishing redoing her jeans as she let them in.

"Someone got lucky." Jesse bumped her shoulder laughing. Beca yawned and nodded, hugging the man.

"Jesse I'm too tired to joke." Beca said and Chloe handed her a plate with pizza and wings on it. Jesse went and grabbed each of them a beer.

"How is Aspen adjusting to here?" Aubrey asked and Beca pointed to the dog who was lying under the kitchen table.

"She hasn't moved yet. I think she'll get better tomorrow, that's how Mabel acted the first day." They watched as Mabel poked around the larger dog, Aspen finally looked at the small dog and started wagging her tail. Mabel barked happily and trotted off returning quickly with her rope toy that was bigger than her. Aspen and Mabel started tugging it back and forth between them, Aspen ended up taking Mabel right off her feet leaving her swinging in the air.

"I think it'll work out just fine." Beca smiled kissing Chloe.
