A/N: Just watched Pitch Perfect again, for the umpteenth time. I love everything in it (especially the characters ;) ) just not the junk. And Pitch Perfect 2 made me so sad- hardly any Jeca. And when there was, it was completely flat. The main reason I watch and love Pitch Perfect so much is because of Beca and Jesse! Okay, enough with my rant. I thought this would be a cute story. It won't be very long, but I thought it would be fun to write. Oh, and I don't own Pitch Perfect or the characters from it.
Jesse was bouncing with excitement in the passenger seat. Beca, upon seeing her husband, tried to stifle a laugh.
"Oh, here it is!" Jesse exclaimed. Beca pulled into the parking lot of the animal shelter, laughing; Jesse was so adorable when he was excited like this. He jumped out of the car before it was fully stopped.
"C'mon Becs!" he called, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the entrance. The sounds of hundreds of animals greeted them as they opened the door.
"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked, peering up at them through her glasses.
"Uh, yeah we want to look at your dogs," Beca said, glancing at Jesse out of the corner of her eye.
"We want to adopt one of your dogs," Jesse corrected.
"Right," Beca said, smiling up at him.
"The kennels are right around that corner, on the left," the receptionist said, smiling knowingly at them. Jesse practically ran to the kennels, almost missing the door. He held the door open for Beca, like the gentleman that he was. She and Jesse walked along the rows of kennels, holding hands. Beca glanced at the dogs as she passed; she found some of them cute, but Jesse was the one who really cared about getting the dog, so she would let him pick it out. He knew more about what breed and personality to look for anyways; she just enjoyed seeing him so animated about something besides movies. Jesse stopped in front of one kennel, stooping down on the floor. A little nose appeared through the bars of the cage, and then a little pink tongue shot out, licking his finger. Beca kneeled beside him, getting a good look at the little animal. She was a tiny thing, no larger than Beca's headphones. Her fur was a gorgeous, pied lilac color. She had a stripe of white down her face, ending in a heart shape over her muzzle. She had deep brown eyes, reminding her of Jesse.
"She's so small," Beca breathed, stroking her muzzle. "Can we take her out?"
"Be right back," Jesse called over his shoulder as he ran out of the room. Always rushing off to somewhere, Beca thought fondly. He returned moments later with one of the shelter's staff in tow.
"Oh, you want to take out this little girl, huh? She's a sweetheart. She and her siblings were left to die on the side of the road," he said as he unlocked her cage.
"How could someone do that?" Beca said angrily. Jesse was pleased to see that his wife had taken such a liking to the dog. Which was good, because she would be spending a lot of time with her. As soon as her cage door was open, the little dog bounded straight over to Beca. She jumped into her lap, licking every inch of her face.
"Ugh," she groaned, but she was smiling. Jesse watched on proudly as his wife flipped the dog onto her back, holding her like a little baby in her arms. He couldn't wait until she was a mother. Beca tickled the little dog's back paw, laughing when she gave a little play growl and nibbled on her finger.
"She's an Australian Shepherd, but in a mini version," Jesse said. Smirking, he added, "just like you."
"You are so going to pay for that…when I don't have a puppy in my lap. Since it's pretty obvious that we're taking this girl home, what should we name-" she broke off as she saw Jesse's evil grin.
"No. Jesse, we are not naming her after a movie."
Jesse just smiled at her.
