A/N: Okay, so here is just a cute little Christmas one shot. I'd like to dedicate it to all the Pitches whose spouses or family are serving members in the military and who might not be home for Christmas this year.

Chloe spends most of her Christmases cuddled up with her wife, watching terrible Christmas movies, singing carols and baking cookies. She loves Christmas...usually, but this year is different. This year, Chloe can't cuddle up with her wife, or bake with her, or watch crappy movies. This year Chloe is alone for Christmas while Beca is off God knows where, doing God knows what to fight for the country. She's proud of Beca, she really is. Beca is her little soldier baby, but Chloe hates the fact they have to spend Christmas apart this year.

Chloe isn't totally alone though, she has Aubrey and Stacie, and her parents and the rest of the Bellas, but it just doesn't feel complete without her here.

"How's she doing?" Stacie asks her as they sit down to Christmas lunch, Aubrey said she would be joining them shortly as she is still at work. Lawyers don't get Christmas off.

Chloe shrugs and pushes the food around on her plate. "I don't know. The last I heard from her was on the 6th of November and she told me that they were moving...again and she didn't know when she would be able to come home."

"Oh Chloe, I'm sure she's kicking ass wherever she is." Chloe smiled up at the leggy brunette, she knew that Stacie missed Beca just as much as she did. They were best friends after all.

"It's fine, I was just looking forward to telling her the good news. I just want my baby home."

"I think she will be so happy that it happened Chloe. I know how long you've both been waiting." Chloe nods and looks back at her plate, when there's a knock on the door.

Stacie looks at Chloe as Chloe looks at the door. "Chloe! Can you let me in? I left my keys at work." They hear Aubrey's voice through the door.

Chloe shrugs and gets up to let Aubrey in, but when she opens the door it's not Aubrey...well it is, she's standing behind Chloe's single Christmas wish. There Beca stands, smiling brightly, in her uniform, looking as happy as the day Chloe married her.

It takes Chloe a few seconds to register that Beca, her Beca, was standing in their doorway, but once she does she's in Beca's arms, her legs wrapped around the brunette's waist and it feels like home. For the first time since Beca deployed Chloe feels complete. She hears Beca's chiming laugh, the laugh she's missed for over a month and she can't help the tears that roll down her cheeks as she pulls her head off Beca's shoulder and presses their lips together in a deep yet tender kiss.

"My soldier's home." Chloe whispers quietly against Beca's lips and she can feel the answering smile on her wife's face.

They stand like that for a while until Stacie clears her throat. "Sorry to bust up the moment but can I hug my best friend now? And Chloe, maybe you can go get Beca's Christmas present."

Chloe lets out a yelp as she remembers the surprise she had for Beca. She drops herself back onto the ground and runs upstairs after pressing another kiss to Beca's lips.

When she comes back down she sees Stacie and Beca in a tight embrace and it makes her smile even more. She wraps her arms around Beca from behind and holds the small stick in front of her. Beca takes it and studies it for a minute before turning around to face her.

"Are you serious?" She asks and Chloe smiles brightly, nodding. Beca picks her up and spins her around before putting her back on her feet.

"We're having a baby." She says happily, kissing Chloe again, resting her hands on the redhead's stomach. "I have good news too."

Chloe raises her eyebrow and tilts her head. "I'm out. My contract is done and I'm not reenlisting."

Chloe squeals and pulls Beca impossibly closer. "You're home for good?"

"Yeah, I'm home for good."
