A/N: Alright, just to point out the AU facts here, Aubrey ends up going to Law School at Barden instead of ending up at the retreat. Beca and Chloe end up rooming with Aubrey for the last three years (instead of living in the Bella house).

Alright, pretty much all of this was written just so I could get the proposal scene in. Well, that and Beca running through the church in her wedding dress.

The Bellas came to practice the next day with a new understanding of their captain and her girlfriend. When Cynthia Rose was off key during a particular section, Aubrey just swallowed and then gave a tight smile, telling the group to start over. When she missed the same section, Aubrey turned to Beca and started in on her.

Cynthia Rose stepped up and started, "Aubrey, you don't have…"

Beca turned to her friend and gave her a glare that stopped her dead in her tracks. Cynthia Rose held up her hands in surrender and slowly backed into her position. Beca turned back to Aubrey, who had stopped yelling when Beca turned away, and nodded. Aubrey continued to rant at the smaller girl for another minute before turning back to the Bellas and clapping her hands for them to get into position.

They managed to get through practice with only a few more outbursts from Aubrey and when she called practice for the day Beca gave a whistle, "I need everyone to stick around for a minute. I'll be right back." She walked over to Aubrey and the girls watched a familiar routine play out, Aubrey talking animatedly to Beca as she stood there and nodded. When Aubrey finished, Beca slipped her hand behind Aubrey's neck and pulling her head down low enough for her to place a soft kiss on her forehead. Aubrey finished packing up her things and left Beca to talk with the rest of the Bellas.

When the door closed behind Aubrey, Beca finally addressed the group, "Ok look, I know you all know about Aubrey and I by now." The entire group nodded. Beca continued, looking at Cynthia Rose in particular, "And I know you all want to protect me, but please don't. Let Aubrey take out her frustrations on me like she has been."

Cynthia Rose matched Beca's look, "But why should we let her yell at you for our mistakes? We're big girls, we can take a little yelling."

Beca sighed, "I'm not doing this for you, I know you can take it."

The group looked at her confused and Cynthia Rose asked the question that was on everybody's mind, "Then why are you doing this?"

Beca looked down at her feet, shuffling them slightly, "I'm doing it for Aubrey. She knows what she's like and she's tried to change, but it's just the way she's built. Yelling at you would just bring about an entirely different set of problems. She'd feel guilty about yelling at you and she'd end up puking about that." She turned to look over past the piano, where she and Aubrey were just at, "You've all seen our ritual at the end of practice, right?" The girls nodded. Beca sighed fondly, "That's when we let each other know that everything is all right between us. She gets the last of everything out and then let's me know that she's not really mad at me." She smiled fondly, "And that she loves me, she finally told me that yesterday. Then I kiss her forehead to let her know that I'm ok with everything and I'm there for her." She turned back to the Bellas, "So please, just let us continue to do our thing." She looked around the room, catching everyone's eye as they nodded their agreement. She looked at Cynthia Rose last. Cynthia Rose stared hard at the smaller girl, looking for any sign that this was more than what Beca was explaining. She finally nodded at Beca, "Ok B, I'll do it for you."

The Bellas went on to win Nationals and after that, things seemed to settle down between Aubrey and Beca for a while. The summer came and went and come Fall, Beca started her second year at Bardon while Aubrey started her first year of Law school. Chloe was glad that all of the yelling was over with now that Aubrey wasn't running the Bellas anymore. She loved watching the two girls fawn over each other as they went about making dinner or cleaning or just laying around doing nothing.

Aubrey spent a lot of time in the library or with her study group. While Chloe loved Aubrey like a sister, she really enjoyed her time with Beca (they really had become fast friends). So Aubrey's time out doing Law School stuff just meant more time for Chloe to hang out with Beca. They binge watched Netflix, they baked together and Beca was even trying to teach Chloe how to mix music. The only odd thing Chloe noticed was that every few nights that Aubrey was away studying, Beca would get a call or text and then excuse herself. She'd leave the apartment and come back about half an hour later. She never said where she was going or what she was doing and Chloe never asked.

Chloe found out what Beca did when she was out one evening by accident. The two girls had decided to go out and have a sit down dinner at a decent restaurant. After a thoroughly enjoyable dinner they were walking home when Beca got a call. She nodded as she listened and only responded with, "I'm just a couple of blocks away, I'll be right there." Chloe noticed they were heading towards the library when Beca stopped her, "Can you please stay here, I'll be back in a few minutes. Or you don't even have to wait, you can go home and I'll meet you there?"

Chloe just gave Beca her best Beale smile, "Don't worry Becs, I'll be here when you get back."

Beca just nodded and took off walking quickly towards the other side of the library. Chloe paced a little back and forth, humming to herself. Then she heard arguing and walked towards where Beca had gone. She cautiously looked around the corner of the building and saw Aubrey standing there yelling at Beca. Beca was just nodding and looking worriedly at her girlfriend. Chloe backed away from the corner quickly, not wanting to be seen. She went back to where Beca had left her and waited.

Beca came back a few minutes later with a smile on her face. Chloe just walked up next to her and wrapped her arm around the smaller girl's side and squeezed, "I don't know if I'll ever understand you and Bree, but I'm glad she has you."

Beca looked embarrassed, "You heard that?"

Chloe shrugged, "I got bored and walked around a little. I didn't hear you from here."

Beca sighed, "She was getting better, but she's got this asshole in her study group that just pushes her buttons the wrong way, you know?"

Chloe leaned down and kissed her cheek, beaming at her, "Yes, but a hobbit beats and asshole any day." Beca just groaned, but her smile couldn't get any bigger.

They only had a month until Worlds so Chloe had stayed behind after practice to work with Stacie on some choreography that wasn't quite working out. When she got to the apartment she heard yelling from the hallway. She quietly let herself in and as she opened the door, she was surprised that it was Beca's voice instead of Aubrey's that was at such a loud volume. She peeked down the hallway and saw Beca's back towards her and she was pacing slightly and yelling at Aubrey. She was going on about being off pitch and can't even get simple choreography sometimes.

Chloe was about to go say something when Aubrey saw her. Chloe locked eyes with the blonde and Aubrey gave a small shake of her head. Chloe sighed and listened until Beca's tirade petered out. She couldn't make out what she was saying then, but she saw Aubrey smile and nod. She almost started to cry when she saw Aubrey brush the hair back from the smaller girl's face and lean down and softly kiss her forehead. She quickly but quietly snuck back out of the apartment and leaned up against the wall in the hallway until she was ready to face the two girls in the apartment.

It was a couple of weeks after Worlds and Beca came home from her first day as an official assistant producer at Residual heat. She walked in and found Bree puttering around the kitchen and the table set with a lit candle in the middle of it. She smiled as she walked up behind her girlfriend and gave her a small peck on the cheek, "What's all this Bree?"

Aubrey turned and gave the smaller girl a proper kiss. When she pulled back she smiled at the brunette, "I thought we'd celebrate my little producer's first day of her Grammy producing career."

Beca laughed, "That's sweet, thanks Bree." She leaned up and kissed her again, "Thank you."

Aubrey nodded and then shooed the other girl away, "Go get cleaned up and then sit down, dinners almost ready."

Beca did as instructed and was back a few minutes later to sit at the table and watch her gorgeous girlfriend moving effortlessly around the kitchen. God she loved that woman, she should go looking for rings soon because she wanted to be with Aubrey like this every day for the rest of her life. When Aubrey turned around with their plates, she saw Beca sitting there with a look on her face that she couldn't place. She crinkled her forehead, "What?"

Beca's face transformed when she smiled, "Nothing, just…well, you're beautiful Bree and I love you." Aubrey smiled back, but Beca thought it looked a little strained.

The two girls started eating, well Beca started eating and she noticed that Aubrey just kind of pushed the food around her plate. Beca looked at Aubrey and noticed she wasn't looking good. Right as she started to ask, "Is everything alright, Bree?" the blonde bolted from her chair and ran down the hall to the bathroom. Beca was moving before Aubrey had gotten far, trailing after the blonde.

Beca kneeled behind her girlfriend, smoothing back her soft blonde hair and holding it away from the toilet. When Aubrey thought she was done, she wiped her mouth with a towel and then fell against the wall sobbing. Beca sat next to her and wrapped her arms around the blonde, "Shhh, it's ok baby. You know it's nothing to be embarrassed about. But why didn't you get me before it got this bad, you know I'm always here for you." That caused another round of sobs to come from the emotional blonde.

When Aubrey had finally calmed down again, Beca took her face in her hands and turned Aubrey towards her, "Seriously baby, why didn't you get me?"

Aubrey looked down at the hands in her lap. She shifted a little bit and went to grab something out of her pocket. As she pulled out the ring she looked into Beca's eyes as she told her with a frustrated voice, "Because I didn't want to be yelling at you when I gave you this."

Beca looked down at the ring, then back to Aubrey's eyes. She stuttered out, "Is that? Bree are you? I can't believe.."

Aubrey laughed and it was music to Beca's ears, "Yes it is baby. Beca Marie Mitchell, will you marry me?"

Then Beca was straddling her and kissing her cheeks, "Yes baby, I'll marry you." Then she slid off of Aubrey, pointing up at the sink, "Now freshen up so I can kiss my fiancé properly."

Chloe came home a couple of hours later to find the girls' half eaten dinners still on the table and some very inappropriate noises coming from their bedroom. She smiled to herself as she started picking up the dining room, thinking to herself, "I guess Beca said yes."

Beca was looking in the mirror as Cynthia Rose helped her make some final adjustments to her dress. Her face dropped when she looked up into the mirror and saw the reflection of a very worried Chloe come flying into the room. Beca turned and pulled the dress up in her two hands as she started moving towards the redhead, "Is she ok?"

Chloe shook her head, "No, she's looking pretty bad and mumbling and pacing. I haven't seen her this bad since Nationals the year before you joined."

Beca picked her dress up higher and started running with the other two girls following closely behind. The sight of one of the bride's running furiously through the church garnered a bit of attention and soon a few people were following the group of girls. Beca stopped outside of Aubrey's dressing room and turned to Chloe, "Don't let anyone else in." Then she gave the redhead a pleading look, "Please."

Chloe put a determined look on her face and nodded before turning to the oncoming group of concerned people. Beca just leaned over and gave the redhead a quick kiss on the cheek, "Thanks."

Beca quickly entered the room, closing the door behind her. She found a very concerned Stacie trailing behind the most gorgeous bride Beca had ever seen. If she wasn't so concerned for her fiancé, she could have stood there forever just taking in her radiance. As it was, her bride to be was not looking the best, stopping in her pacing every few steps to grab her stomach. Stacie turned as she heard the door close behind Beca, giving her a strained smile. Beca nodded to her and then pointed to the door and Stacie nodded back, heading out to help Chloe with the crowd she knew was probably growing outside the door.

Beca waited for her love to turn around and notice her. Aubrey saw her bride and her heart jumped into her throat, momentarily replacing the urge to vomit with a feeling of true love. The strained smile that Aubrey gave her started Beca moving, closing the distance between the two lovers in an instant. Beca took Aubrey's hands in hers, looking into her eyes and giving her a loving smile, "Hi."

Aubrey looked back at her with a slightly ashamed look, "Hi. I'm sorry."

Beca gave a small laugh, "For what? I'm so proud of you, I expected for this to happen days ago but you've been so strong baby."

Aubrey gave a weak laugh, "But you shouldn't have to go through this at all."

Beca lovingly stroked her cheek, "Baby, this is a part of you and I love all of you. I wouldn't be here today if I didn't. Are we a normal couple? Probably not, but then look at my 'ear monstrosities', do you think I really care about being normal?"

That got a little bigger laugh from Aubrey. Beca gave her a small kiss on the cheek before leaning back and squeezing the blonde's hands, "Alright, ready."

The group stood outside worriedly pacing at the silence coming from the room the two brides occupied, Chloe and Stacie standing guard and not letting anyone near the door when they tried. Everyone suddenly stopped their pacing and stared at the door when the yelling started, everyone except Chloe, Stacie and Cynthia Rose who just stood there with knowing smirks on their faces. Beca's dad tried to push through the three girls but the glare from Cynthia Rose stopped him in his tracks just before Chloe put her hand on his arm and gently said, "Don't worry about her Mr. Mitchell, she's just fine. Trust me."

Aubrey's brother blushed when he heard Aubrey yelling at Beca about letting him get drunk last night and show up for her wedding hung over. Beca wasn't even with the guys last night. Aubrey's dad looked at the floor when he heard his daughter yelling at her fiancé about how she didn't remember to call him to make sure he'd show up on time. He didn't think being fifteen minutes late would be that big a deal. When she yelled at the smaller girl for letting her get a dress that made her look fat, Chloe couldn't help her smile. She tried to hide it by resting her head on Stacie's shoulder but she made the mistake of looking at Cynthia Rose looking down at the floor, her shoulders shaking and she burst out laughing. The gathered crowd looked at the three laughing girls like they had gone crazy because it sure sounded like there wasn't going to be a wedding today. Chloe held up a finger to stop any questions before she caught her breath. She turned to everyone, "I'm hoping Beca can answer all of your questions in a minute, but it's not my place to explain."

When she couldn't hear any more yelling coming from the room behind her, she turned around and peeked through the door. She watched as Aubrey finished talking and Beca took her hands, looking at her so lovingly as she pulled the taller girl towards her to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. Then Beca turned to the redhead and smiled, mouthing, "Thank you."

Chloe just smiled and motioned behind her with her head, giving her best Ricky Ricardo impression "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin to do."

Beca laughed and shook her head at the redhead, "Dork. I'll be right out." Then she turned to Aubrey, smiling gently at her, "Ok, are you ready to do this?"

Aubrey gave her the first real smile of the day, "Ready to marry you? Nothing's going to stop me. I love you so much Beca Mitchell."

Beca leaned in to give her a small kiss on the cheek, "Don't get too used to saying that."

Aubrey looked confused, "Say what, I love you?"

Beca laughed back over her shoulder as she walked to the door, "No, Beca Mitchell."

She watched the smile take over her fiancé's face as she closed the door behind her. She shut the door with her back to the audience she saw milling about the hallway. She took a deep breath to steady herself before putting a scowl on her face. She turned around and addressed everyone, "Alright, you don't have to understand or approve of how Aubrey and I choose to live our lives." She looked at Aubrey's dad and brother, "You remember what happened to Nationals Aubrey's junior year?" They both nodded looking uncomfortable. Beca sighed, "Well Aubrey still bottles everything up inside." Beca smiled a little, "She's gotten so much better but still, sometimes it gets too much for her." She put the scowl back on her face, "So when it gets to be too much for her, rather than holding it inside until she makes herself sick or taking it out on someone else, where she might say something she doesn't mean, I let her vent at me."

She walked up to Beca's dad and brother, poking Mr. Posen in the chest, "And you two knew how she gets and yet you still weren't on your best behavior, on her wedding day of all things. Showing up fifteen minutes late for your own daughter's wedding." She turned on her brother, "And you, drinking so much you were puking before midnight. Yes, I heard all about it and so did Aubrey. She was worried sick that you wouldn't be able to stand up in front of the church with her."

The two men grumbled their apologies to Beca but she just continued scowling at them, "Don't apologize to me." She pointed at the door she just came out of and both men walked into the room with their heads down.

After the two men disappeared into the room, Beca turned to Chloe and Stacie, "Ok, let them have a minute and then get back in there. Can you two please make sure she knows she looks beautiful in her dress." The two girls nodded to Beca who then turned to look at Cynthia Rose, "Alright CR, you ready to do this?"

Cynthia Rose laughed and put her arm around the smaller girl's waist, being careful not to step on her dress, "You bet Cap, let's get this party started."

The ceremony was beautiful and Beca couldn't stop looking at Aubrey. She was radiant in her gown and Beca felt like she was the luckiest woman in the world at the moment. She barely remembered her vows and suddenly the service was over. The minister was standing behind the two girls saying, "You may now kiss the bride."

Beca looked lovingly into Aubrey's eyes as they stepped together and their lips met for the first time as wives. They broke the kiss after just a few seconds even though Beca wanted so much more. The two women stared into each other's eyes for just a second before Beca took another step towards Aubrey and pulled her head down slightly, sealing their marriage with a tender kiss on her forehead.
