Ash looked between the two women in front of him, tilting his head before barking to grab their attention.

Chloe giggled, "I hear you, little guy. You wanna get this all over and done with, don't you?" she scooped him up in her arms while Beca managed to settle down into a chair behind her when she felt her knees about to give.

"Sorry!" Chloe and Beca, and Ash, turned towards the door when Emily stepped inside, "Would've been back sooner but someone," Emily sent a pointed glare to her sister, "left me to be the bearer of bad news. You think I enjoy making people upset? It's not fun for me!"

Beca rolled her eyes, "That date wouldn't have been fun for me either."

"Oh shut up." Emily finally turned to the vet, "What'd I miss?"

"I was just about to take him to a tech to get his x-rays." Chloe said, gently waving one of Ash's paws to say a quick goodbye to his rescuers. "We'll be back in a bit."

Beca tried to fight the smile on her face as she watched the adorable scene play out in front of her.

"Thanks, Chloe."

Chloe looked over her shoulder and returned the smile, "No problem."

Emily raised her eyebrows and once the vet exited the room, leaving her and her sister alone, she turned to Beca with a suspicious look in her eye.

"First name basis?"

Beca shrugged, "It's good to build a bond with the doctor." She eyed her sister curiously, Emily had her arms crossed and her lips were parted. Beca could practically hear the gears turning in her sisters head.

"I bet it is." Emily muttered with a smirk.

"Shut up."

"So Ash has some bruising around his belly," Chloe gently circled the puppy's injured area while Beca and Emily listened tentatively, "But he doesn't have internal bleeding, which is good."

Beca bit her lip nervously, "Is it possible that when I was holding him, I was irritating it? He was whimpering a lot."

Chloe gave her a reassuring smile as she shook her head, "No, don't worry. He was probably just nervous." She placed Ash back down on his paws and left the tech to give him his vaccines and bath.

"It shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes." Chloe happily announced as she slipped her hands into the front pockets of her scrubs, "Are you guys considering adopting?"

Emily gasped at the idea and whipped around to pleadingly gaze at her sister, her eyes widening as her lower lip stuck out in a pout.

Beca rolled her eyes, "Put the facade away. Of course we're adopting him, I'm not a monster."

"Coulda fooled me." Emily scoffed.

Chloe smiled as she passed them a clipboard of adoption papers, "I was hoping you'd say that."

Beca and Emily looked over at Ash who was practically smiling at the two as his tongue hung off the side of his mouth, taking his vaccines like a champ and it was that moment when Beca felt a sense of pride.

"We're going straight to Petsmart!" Emily clapped her hands happily as she swooned over Ash, already picturing the great adventures she's got planned for them.

While Emily assisted the tech with Ash's bath, a request of her own to which the tech happily accepted, Chloe and Beca discussed Ash's treatments.

"So for the bruises," Chloe began as she wrote down a list for Beca to take home, "I'm sending you home with some medication. Along with that, just make sure he doesn't strain himself."

"Got it." Beca nodded, taking the slip of paper.

"I also took the liberty of putting myself down as his registered veterinarian on the adoption papers." Chloe smiled brightly, Beca grinned and nodded, "So if anything comes up or if you have any questions, just stop by."

"Yeah, definitely." Beca rubbed the back of her neck, "Um, thanks. I appreciate it."

Chloe rubbed her lips together, smoothing over the light coat of lipstick she had applied earlier that day. She stared at Beca for a moment before a pair of footsteps happily skipped their way towards her, Emily stood there with her cheek pressed against Ash's.

"Thanks, doc! C'mon, Bec!"

"Will you chill!"

"Tell him to chill!" Emily fired back as she tried to keep Ash steady on her lap while Beca drove.

Ash released a chorus of barks and whines as he tried to squirm his way out of Emily's embrace.

Beca quickly glanced at him before she reached over and gently scratched his chin.

"Take it easy, dude."

Ash closed his eyes as he arched his neck back and got lost in the affection. Emily smiled and ran her fingers up and down his back.

"See, team work."

"Yay." Beca deadpanned, "Now let me drive."

"Jeez, bossy."

When they finally arrived to Petsmart, Emily led Ash over to the toys section while Beca made her way over to the food area. After browsing over a dozen types of different brands of food, Beca suddenly realized she was out of her element. Which brand was the best? She had no idea. So when she saw a man in a blue polo wheeling down a crate of boxes, she quickly hollered out to him.

"S'cuse me!"

The man stopped in his tracks and abandoned his crate to assist Beca.

"What's up?" Beca looked at his badge, Donald.

"I just adopted a dog but I don't really..." Beca waved her hands in the air before gesturing at the stacked shelves of dog food, slapping her hands down to her sides, she sighed, "Help me out?"

Donald grinned, "Alright." He took a quick look before reaching over to grab a bag of Blue Buffalo, "This one's good. I have a pug, he likes this."

"Great." Beca smiled, "Thanks, man."

"No problemo." Donald went back to moving the boxes, leaving Beca with the bag of dog food and the new task of finding Emily.

Beca searched the aisles before she stopped in her tracks in front of the cat section where Emily tried to motion for Ash to get off one of the carpeted towers.

"What am I looking at?" Beca raised an eyebrow.

Emily and Ash turned to her and the puppy let out a bark while Emily sighed, defeated yet again by the five pound pooch.

"He won't get down! You sure he's a dog?"

Beca chuckled, "Dude, just pick him up." She walked over, handing Emily the bag of dog food. Beca stood in front of the post, ignoring the fact that it stood a few inches over her head, and reached up.

"That's for cat's, dude."

Ash barked at her and grumbled as he stuck up his behind and swatted his paws at her.

"Don't - Don't give me attitude!" Beca warned with a raised finger.

"That'll show him." Emily deadpanned.

"Shut up." Beca tried again and Ash whined when she managed to slip her hand under his belly and lift him from the post. "There we go."

"Discipline." Beca said proudly, "Take notes."

Emily rolled her eyes and followed her sister to the next aisle where the dog beds were stacked on the shelves. Beca placed Ash in different styles of beds and matts before he settled into a navy blue one with fluffy interior.

"And we have a winner!" Beca sang, "Finally. Let's get outta here. You got toys and the training pads?"

Emily nodded as she raised a basket she had filled earlier.

"Got 'em!"

The sun had just began to color the sky with a warm orange glow by the time they arrived to the house. Beca sighed contently when she saw the couch and plopped down, draping her arm over her eyes. She heard Emily close the door and the distinct sound of tiny paws exploring every inch of the house.

Emily sighed and dropped herself opposite of Beca, tangling her legs with her sisters as she mirrored her.

"I'm beat." Emily muttered.

Beca hummed, "Mhm. Me too."

Emily licked her lips, "Y'know...Jesse and the others are still coming over." She laughed when Beca groaned.

"I totally forgot."

They stayed in place a little while longer before a bark coming from somewhere within the house quickly reminded them of their newest member.

"You put a training pad down, right?" Beca asked.

Emily was silent for a moment, "...I will right now..."

"You do that."

"Who's this!" Jesse swooned, pushing passed Beca to make his way over to Ash who was licking his paws on his bed beside the couch.

"Now, Beca, I don't mean to alarm you but I think you may have a rodent problem." Amy dodged Beca's smack and laughed, "He's like a little rat!"

"I think he's cute." Benji smiled, wrapping his arm around Emily, "What's his name?"

"Ash." Emily said as she leaned into her boyfriend's side.

Jesse furrowed his eyebrows, "From Pokemon?"

"I'm not getting into this again."

A/N: I love the reviews, guys! Chloe being a vet always seemed so fitting with her character and I'm glad they put it in the movie.

Remember to R&R! And I'll be sure to continue to the updates as frequently as I can
