As always, these characters are not mine, blah blah blah and cue bechloe!

Chloe was so excited to spend the day with her sister. She hadn't seen Tiffany in months and since she was only in town for the day she wanted to make the most of their time together. This was the reason she was eager to have Tiffany bring her niece over so one of the Bellas could watch her while they went out and got pampered and gossip like old times. It just so happened that Beca was the only available Bella this Saturday. It is not like she knew that the rest of the girls had plans. Because that would have been devious right? Okay, so maybe she knew this. And maybe she also knew that Beca said she was allergic to children and that they were tiny little demons sent to Earth to seek and destroy. And maybe she wanted to get Beca a little riled and watch her interact with the child because she knew Beca would be unable to resist the charm of another blue-eyed ginger Beale. What's the harm in that?

So she felt only the tiniest bit of guilt when she handed little baby Maddie over to Beca and watched her eyes grow wide with what was clearly panic. However, she just leaned in and kissed Maddie on the head with a little goodbye tickle and then took advantage of Beca's stunned state to plant a quick kiss on her nose, causing Beca to finally blink and scrunch her face up, and then gave Beca the smallest of patronizing goodbye tickles like she did Maddie before she was glared out the door behind her sister.

But to her credit she did make sure that a few of the Bellas stopped in to check on her from time to time. Which is why she and Tiffany were stopped in the middle of the mall with tears of laughter running down their faces when Stacey sent them a short video of Beca trying to wash Maddie in the kitchen sink with a hazmat suit-clad Fat Amy instructing her not to cuss around the baby or call her "it". Sure, she knew there would be funny moments, there always are with her Beca, but adding a baby to the mix? It had to be one of her greatest ideas to date. This was confirmed even further when she received a video from Fat Amy of Beca rummaging through a baby bag with Maddie next to her on the floor in a tall cooking pan while lecturing her about modesty, and Chloe's lack of it around strangers. Though she did have to field a few questions from Aubrey, Jesse and her sister at that comment.

Chloe and her sister had just walked in the door but paused when they didn't hear any noises coming from the house. They say when kids stop making noise, that's when you worry. So the two made their way a little further into the living room when they spotted Beca and Maddie. Again, she was expecting these funny moments today and was not disappointed. However, this…this she was not at all expecting. She was not expecting to find Maddie curled up in Beca's arms while they slept soundly on the couch. She was not expecting her eyes to sting with tears and she was not expecting to fall about ten times more in love with Beca than she already had. But that is exactly what happened.

She told Tiffany she could go on upstairs and take a nap if she wanted and that she would keep an eye on them for a while. Yes, she wanted her sister to take advantage of the babysitting but she mostly wanted to be alone for a bit so she could truly appreciate the scene before her. It felt like her heart had burst open and was shooting fireworks all throughout her body, leaving her warm and slightly weak at the knees.

Sure she had been moved by seeing Beca in different situations in the past. Like finding her sexy when she would get all captain-like in practice, or when she was working on her mixes and would just get lost in the world of music. How she melted a little inside when Beca would try to act all tough but would still show genuine interest and concern in the lives of the Bellas, especially Chloe. Or how she would get butterflies when Beca got all excited about a new mix and burst into Chloe's room, sitting on the bed next to her and placing her headphones over Chloe's ears and watch her eagerly for a reaction. But she had never been moved like this before, not in this way. She thinks she can finally appreciate the term "her ovaries exploded" because that was practically the best explanation for the rapid dancing movements they were performing right now.

Seeing Beca lying there with a sleeping baby in her arms was all it took to push Chloe past the point of no return. Of course she knew she was in love with Beca, she had been for years, but she always pushed it to the back of her mind, not wanting to "risk their friendship" or some other equally cliché phrase. But in this moment all she could see was the future she knew she needed. Not a future of "maybe someday something will happen" but a future with Beca lying with their child.

Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth she lays down her purse and made her way over to the couch where they were sleeping, sitting down gently in front of Beca's bent knees. She couldn't help the smile that pulled the corners of her mouth at the tiny snores coming from both of the girls. Reaching out she takes her finger and caresses Maddie's little flushed cheek. Her eyes then move over Beca's face and she can't help but reach out and trail her fingertips across her forehead and cheek, tucking a few wayward strands of hair behind her ear and then back across her jaw to the tip of her chin.

God, she loved this woman. And the thought nearly took her breath away. So without allowing herself to think too much about anything other than this moment and how she wanted to react, she leaned forward and placed the softest of kisses on Beca's temple, breathing in deep the sweet smell of her shampoo and the scent that was now just Beca, a combination of sweet and subtle that always sent Chloe's heart racing and her stomach into rolls. She leaned back and let her eyes trace the beautiful face of her love and found herself unable to stop the leaning back in to place yet another kiss upon her face, not that she was really trying to fight it at this point. But this time she kissed the corner of Beca's lips and lingered a fraction longer than before.

It was at this moment that Beca chose to stir but it did not frighten Chloe away, instead she just leaned slightly back, only enough so she could take in all of Beca's face. She smiled as Beca began to open her eyes, a bit like a baby deer taking in a new area for the first time. "Hey ya sleepy head," she said, running her finger down the side of Beca's face.

"Hey…what? What time is it?" Beca looked at Chloe and blinked a few times trying to focus and started to try to get up but Chloe placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"No, don't, you'll wake Maddie," Chloe smiled in a hushed voice looking down at the baby.

Beca looked down at the child having completely forgotten her existence. "Oh shit, yeah I for-"

She was interrupted by Chloe's finger on her lips, a smile tugging and her eyes shining with silent laughter, "Shhh…No cussing in front of the 'lil tyke'." Beca's eyes widened and blinked once slowly with confusion before Chloe finished, "Stacie sent me a video of you and Fat Amy during 'the great cleanse' this afternoon in the sink."

The look of confusion turned into a scowl, and a rather sleepy one at that, "I hate you. I hate you all. I need you to know this." But Chloe only giggled in response which earned a little shove from Beca as she laid her head down and closed her eyes, "go away, I am babysitting."

"No you're not," she smiled, "you're sleeping. And snoring I might add."

Beca's head popped up as she glared at Chloe, "I do not snore!"

"Yes you do," she was completely unfazed by Beca's feeble attempts at being intimidating, "but it's cute."

"No it isn't because I don't do it," argued Beca weakly, "but you, on the other hand, kick. And cuddle."

"You love it," she beamed, planting a quick kiss on her cheek which earned her a strong side-eye glare as Beca feigned going back to sleep by closing her eyes. "I love this new look you've got going on," trailing her fingers down the bare skin of the ribs beneath her causing Beca to squirm a little as it tickled, watching goosebumps rise across her skin in the wake of the caress. Something about that made Chloe's insides start to heat up.

"Yeah, well I tried sporting the 'snot chic' look but I just couldn't pull it off," she answered, reaching for Chloe's hand still tickling her ribs and grasping it in hers she pulled to tuck it between her and Maddie up against her chest. Clearly she was still half asleep because awake-Beca would probably not have held Chloe's hand so tight against her chest like that, not that she was complaining of course.

"Beca Mitchell, you little minx! Trying to make me cop a feel right here in front of the baby," she shakes her head in mock disappointment, fighting the smile that is threatening to burst free…or was that her libido? Probably both.

Beca rolled her eyes in an overly dramatic fashion, "You are such a perv. I am holding it here because my other hand is trapped beneath this little creature and this is the only place I can keep it safely away," making no move to let go of the hand against her chest.

Chloe's eyebrows shoot up at this and leaning in close to Beca, her breasts resting against her arm, she lowered her voice and hummed her response into the shell of Beca's ear, "Mmmm, and you think your boobs are a 'safe' place for my hands, huh?" She loves flustering her but it's that deep blush creeping up her neck that she loves too and Beca's response is more just a collection of guttural sounds rather than real words and, well, that's just the cherry-on-top for Chloe.

Deciding to give her a break Chloe changes direction, "I have to admit, I was rather offended by what you said about me."

Beca's eyes shot open at that, "What? What did I say about you? Though whatever it was I am sure it was well deserved…. Leaving me alone with this thing all day," she finished with a mumble.

Chloe feigned hurt, "You think it is ok to talk about me to my own niece?" Beca just looked even more confused. "I heard you telling her about me not being modest with my nudity around strangers." She could see things starting to register in the look she was getting.

"Fat Amy I take it? I knew I heard someone at the door! Well at least I know I am not going crazy."

"Oh no, you're going crazy Mitchell," earning her another glare. "But, just for the record, you are the only person whose shower stall I have burst into naked," she leaned in again, her eyelids drooping slightly.

"Is that so?"

"That's so," Chloe nods, eyes dropping to Beca's lips for a fraction of a second.

"So I guess I am just lucky like that then," Beca adds weakly, her own eyes finding Chloe's lips, however briefly. This did not go unnoticed by Chloe at all. In fact, it set off a match inside her that was taking all her strength to keep in check.

"Mhmmm, you're very lucky," she all but whispered and couldn't help one more glance at Beca's lips before making herself straighten up a bit.

For a few moments they just stared at each other, both clearly struggling with their own racing thoughts. Looking to relieve some of the tension growing between them Chloe sat up, immediately missing the warmth from their closeness. "Looks like you had a good thing going with this pot," nudging it with her foot, "it's too bad you have your heart set on producing music when you clearly have great potential in inventing baby equipment."

"That's it. When she shits this diaper I am making you clean it up."

"And miss you in action? I wouldn't dream of passing that up!" Chloe teased and Beca tossed her hand away from her chest and flipped her off.

"Get away from me Beale before I wake this thing up and then you will be the one that has to sing to her until she passes out again." Beca threatened, only half-heartedly, but that didn't matter. Chloe heard all she needed to hear.

"Aca-scuse me?" she couldn't fight the ginormous grin even if she wanted to, "Are you saying that 'The Beca Effin Mitchell' sang this child to sleep?"

Beca let out a large sigh and closed her eyes. "What will it take to make you go away right now and forget everything I just said?"

Chloe could feel her eyes shining bright as she all but squealed and beamed down at her. "So much more than you are willing to give me, I can assure you of that!"

Maybe it was the unspoken challenge in Chloe's statement that had sparked the competitive nature in Beca, but whatever it was she swore she could see a quick flash in her eyes when she responded, "I don't know, I am willing to give quite a bit."

Whatever flame Chloe had been attempting to control a few moments ago was just reignited with a vengeance. Well two can play at this game, Mitchell, and boy was she good at this game. Licking her lips she leaned in to only a few inches away from Beca's face and turned her earlier words against her, "Is that so?"

"That's so," answered Beca, steely resolve clearly written in the stare she was giving Chloe.

Chloe could feel her pulse racing through her whole body, every beat of her heart echoing in her ears as she and Beca exchanged glances and unspoken things. Things she wish were spoken. Chloe searched her face looking for some kind of signal, some sign that Beca didn't want her to keep leaning in, but all Beca did was stare back, silently daring her to make a move. The mere thought of that sent all of Chloe's insides on a roller coaster ride and she bit her bottom lip at the butterflies it was causing. The action brought Beca's attention straight to Chloe's lips, only this time they weren't darting away. They remained fixed on her lips and the action made her breath hitch and now Beca was the one searching her face.

Chloe took one last glance at Beca's lips and began to close the distance, watching Beca's eyes drift closed as she leaned in to meet Chloe and just as they could feel the breath of the other upon their face the child beneath them stirred and whimpered slightly, causing them both to pause in their movements. Both girl's eyes slowly slid open and she could feel Beca sigh leave her and brush against her cheek as she sat up and they both looked down at the child between them.
