All Love

Special shout out to my three reviewers: ItsInOurDesign, 1lifeisbechloe, and my guest reviewer, M. You guys helped me me to keep writing this one when I almost deleted it. Enjoy chapter 3!

Due to the baby still needing to get a little bit healthier and vaccinations, Beca suggested that her, Chloe, and Leo to meet some of the other children Dana had paired them up with. But nothing seemed to click. Beca didn't really know how to feel, but she was certain Chloe still had her heart wrapped around the deep dimpled child in the first photo. Even Leo was distant with all the other children they had met. If the child in the photo didn't meet their expectations, Beca was out of ideas.

It had only been a few weeks since Dana had told the ladies about the child and since they had visited the other children, but today was finally the day to meet her. The trio, knowing the child had no name given, referred to her as the "baby", though they had discussed names since her photo was given. Beca didn't think it was a good idea to name her, if they weren't even sure they wanted to adopt her. So they finally decided to wait until they met her.

Only eleven in the morning on a Saturday, the trio pulled up to a single story house, the baby's current foster home.

"Are we ready?" Chloe asked brightly, turning to look in the backseat towards Leo and a quick glance at Beca. Leo nodded excitedly, and Beca offered a small smile. She just wanted Chloe to be happy, and if this dream child she had been doting over for the last couple weeks didn't meet her expectations, Beca was sure her girlfriend would break apart.

The moment they walked into the small house, they knew lots of children and babies lived there. Multiple pop up cribs lay scattered around the living room and toys were sprawled across the floor. The lady who let them in, had two babies on her hips already, and two more were playing on the living room floor. The family took a seat on the couch, Leo content in Beca's lap. The woman, named April, took no time with small talk before fetching the girl the family was looking for. Chloe's leg bounced in anticipation, as April came back out with the girl in the picture. She looked smaller in person, and Chloe drew her eyebrows in concern. Her hair had grown out since the picture, revealing that she would have very wavy and curly hair as she continued to age.

"Here she is. We call her Dolly around here, since she doesn't have an official name. My husband and I wanted to leave a real name open to the adoptive parents." April explained as she set the baby on the floor.

"I can see why. She is about as small and delicate as my dolls I had growing up. Hi sweetheart." Chloe cooed, while Beca let out a silent scoff. Dolly? The child might as well be a bunny or a puppy with a stupid name like that. She was a human being for Christs sake.

Dolly looked up at the family, her brown eyes looking at them warily, but it was almost hard to really tell what the young girl was feeling. Her mouth was set in a firm line, her body slumped in the spot she sat in. Chloe took the opportunity to move from the couch, and sit on the floor with her, her back still leaned up against the couch. Dolly didn't move or react to Chloe's movements, but continued to stare.

"Mama? Can I give her the toy now?" Leo asked, still sitting on Beca's lap. Chloe nodded, and stretched out her arm to grab his hand. She didn't want him to startle the baby. The blonde boy ignored his mother's hand, and bravely walked up to Dolly. He was slow and careful, as he finally sat in front of her. Dolly winced a little as he neared her, but she sat in her spot.

"This is for you. It is a stuffed animal kitten. She is good to play pretend with but she likes to cuddle to. Like this." He explained, as he drew the stuffed cat to his face, showing her how to cuddle with it. He finally reached out to give it to her, which Dolly just stared at for awhile, obviously confused.

"See. Nice kitten." Leo tried again, as he meowed through the cat and made it walked to her and "lick" her hand. Dolly reached out her hand slowly, and stroked the toy's fur. Finally she grasped it, and cocked her head to look at it's face. Her hands brushed through it's fur, before one of her hands found her mouth, and plopped her thumb into it. She turned to face the T.V., the Little Mermaid playing on the screen. They watched the movie in silence for a moment, before Chloe couldn't help but sing along to "Part of your World."

The instant the redhead's voice harmonized with the readhead on screen, the baby turned to follow the new voice quickly. Her round brown eyes cocked with wonder at the sound of Chloe's voice, as she titled her head like a puppy. Beca couldn't help but smile at the baby's reaction to Chloe singing. It was hard to not focus on Chloe's beautiful and soft voice when she sang, this baby being no exception. Blue eyes met brown, and the two could not keep their eyes off each other. Chloe's smile radiated off the walls and the baby just stared, her mouth slightly open in amazement. Dolly finally broke her eyes away, to glance at the screen, and then back at Chloe.

"Looks like she thinks you are Ariel, Chlo." Beca commented with a chuckle.

Chloe laughed and she managed to look at Beca since the first time they arrived at the small house.

"Isn't she beautiful?"

Beca laughed silently. "Yeah Chlo. She is. But she has got to have a better name. Dolly is not a human name, unless you are someone cool like Dolly Parton."

"All the names we thought of don't seem to match though. She doesn't really radiate an Amber or a Savannah." Chloe pointed out, as she slanted her mouth to the side as she thought.

"Why can't her name be Dolly?" Leo asked.

"Because that is a pet name, dude. But...what about Molly?" Beca asked, the name suddenly popping into her head.

"Molly? That is new. What made you think of that?" Chloe asked.

"I don't know. Probably just because it rhymes with Dolly but...I don't know. It seems to fit her." Beca explained. It was weird how that happened. How just by looking at something or someone, a name could come into your mind. That is how Chloe did it with Leo. She was so picky with what to name him, but she was left dumbfounded when he was born and didn't know what to name him. It only took a few minutes however, for her to just stare at him and learn a little bit about him, before Leo popped in her head.

"Molly...I like that. What do you think, Leo?" Chloe said, as she glanced at her son who still sat by the baby, watching the screen. The blonde boy looked at the baby, who was looking at him now.

"Molly Dolly! Molly Dolly! Dey rhyme, Mama!" Leo smiled, as his eyes got big at his discovery. Molly now looked at him, and the mother's could see the rims of her mouth curve up into a slight smile. She either liked her name, or she was just caught up in the boy's joy. The foster care worker, who had been quiet and almost phantom like this entire time, finally spoke up.

"I haven't seen her this interested or even smile like that the entire time she has been here…"

Chloe and Beca smiled at each other. This had to be their daughter. While Beca still felt that she didn't know if she could handle parenthood yet, or even know their daughter very much at this point, she loved the way Molly made her girlfriend smile. She had to be their match. And Beca had named her. That had to mean something.

"Do you want to come home with us, little one?" Beca asked the baby. Molly made eye contact with Beca for the first time that day, and cocked her head. The brunette couldn't be sure if Molly understood what she was saying due to her stares. But subtly, she noticed a nod come from the baby. Beca smiled at Molly, and couldn't help but feel touched at the little girl's actions. She wanted them, just like they had wanted her. Beca turned to April, the smile still present on her face.

"So, what happens now?"
