Summary: Chloe and Aubrey work on getting to know Beca better. Please forgive me if there are too many mistakes.
PP/PP/PP/PP/PP
Beca wasn't surprised that the Bellas found out about her 'Mitch' reputation and probably shouldn't be upset that Stacie so freely shared with everyone, but she was. Stacie was a friend and she had opened up to the tall brunette a little. Beca was just happy Stacie hadn't shared what they had talked about as well. It had been a few days, she should really move on and learn from the whole thing.
Gripping her backpack strap the DJ knocked on the apartment door. Chloe's bubbly "Hello!" shortly greeted her. "Beca!" The red head pulled the small brunette into the apartment keeping a hold of her hand. "You are the last one to arrive. We thought you might ditch us."
"And have Aubrey out for my head? Nah, I can hang for a while." She let the older girl pull her along liking the feel of their hands together.
"Well I saved you a spot on the loveseat with Aubrey and me. Really you are so tiny you will fit with us easy. I don't know how they got five on our sofa. They look like sardines. Jessica and Ashley were the smart ones bringing body pillows and camping out on the floor. I hope scary movies don't bother you. It is the right time of year for them." Chloe had to force herself to slow down and breath, but having Beca so close and holding her hand was really nice and she didn't want to let go. "Here I'll take your pack and sit it down by the loveseat." She took the pack placing it on the floor as she plopped down on the opposite end of the loveseat from Aubrey before the two older girls pulled Beca down between them.
Aubrey immediately sat a big bowl of popcorn in the DJ's lap. "Glad you could make it and just so you know Chloe may strangle you before the night is over. She says she likes scary movies, but I usually spend the whole movie trying not to get chocked to death."
"I knew there had to be a reason you would let me sit by you. You've wanted to strangle me for a while. Now your best friend will do it for you." Beca rolled her eyes smiling.
"Well there is that, but if you're nice I might help you out if you start turning blue." The tall blonde teased. If only Beca really knew why they wanted her between them, she would wouldn't believe it.
"Good to know." Beca popped some of the salty snack in her mouth.
"Alright now that Shorty is here let's get this scare fest started." Fat Amy pressed play on the PS3 controller as the movies they were watching were on Netflix.
During the second ridiculous movie Beca was chuckling to herself. Aubrey was right about Chloe, but the blonde had spent a lot of time leaning her head into Beca's neck when things became gory asking if it was over yet. The DJ tried not to dwell on just how nice it felt having the two women cling to her. She hadn't been tempted to sleep once.
When the second movie was over and debate was going on about what to watch next Cynthia Rose came back from a bathroom break and moved to lay on the floor with a couch pillow. "We should go to a haunted house for Halloween."
"Oh that would be great! Can we bring a date?" Stacie's eyes lit up.
"It's supposed to be a Bella outing." CR argued. "You can take a guy to seduce on another night."
"I agree. It would be more fun as just us." Ashley agreed.
"I know of the perfect place. They do an excellent Haunted House every year." Chloe added and plans were made to go to a haunted house as another Bella bonding experience.
PP/PP/PP/PP/PP
Aubrey and Chloe had made sure that Beca was with them when they visited the haunted house. They had clung to her the whole time. It had been a really great night.
Over the next two months the two spent more time with Beca. They watched movies, played video games and music, and even studied together. Chloe had actually managed to rope Beca into going Christmas shopping with them once.
Now the two eldest Bellas were heading to their hometown to visit their families for a few days for Christmas.
"Beca's really great and seems to be getting more comfortable with us, but still leaves early many evenings and says she's busy a lot on weekends and times we know she isn't working at the station or meeting with the other Bellas. Amy says she hasn't seen her with her neighbors since that day outside the practice room. Beca says she isn't dating anyone, but do you think she is just out having random hook-ups or something?" Aubrey worried her bottom lip as she drove. The two women had lived next door to one another since they were 10 and Aubrey's family moved in next door to the Beale's.
"I am more into Beca now than ever. I don't know if she is having random hook-ups or not, but Stacie told Amy that she doubted very seriously Beca was hooking up with anyone. I didn't ask why she thought that. I'm still ticked that she would go after a friend like that. Beca doesn't seem as open around Stacie anymore. Maybe we can find out where our girl goes soon. She has talked a little about herself although not much. We know her parents got divorced when she was nine and that she lived with her mom after that. We know she is allergic to pastel colors and refuses to eat anything with broccoli in it even if you pick it all out for her. Also surprisingly she hates coffee, but enjoys the smell of it. She goes to the coffee shop to order her "coffee", which is really hot cocoa and simply sits and enjoys the scents around her." Chloe ticked off some of the things they had learned.
"Yeah, we've learned things, but there is so much more to know. Do you think she will ever really let us in?" Aubrey turned on the blinker before exiting the freeway.
"We just can't give up. I have a feeling most girls she dates give up real easily. I know we aren't dating yet, but we have to show her we will stick around." Chloe turned up the radio as a favorite Christmas carol began playing. The two friends began singing along with the radio both still determined to continue their quest to win the heart of a Goddess.

Beca sighed rubbing her eyes, if she didn't pass her exam after all the time she spent studying she never would. She closed her book tossing it aside and flopped down on her bed. It had been great hanging out with Chloe and Aubrey the last months. She had even went shopping with them and spent much more time with the two in the months since Halloween and Christmas. She would love to be more than friends with them, but was afraid to jeopardize their friendship. Beca wasn't even sure if Chloe and Aubrey dated females. It was also frustrating to see Aubrey throwing away something she wanted so badly. There was no way the Bellas would make it to the finals with their current set list and Aubrey refused to let her help. Beca so wished she could get her friend back to the finals in New York. However, felt like her hands were tied tight.
She had called and talked to Hunter and Laney about everything several times. They told her to keep trying. They also knew how much she would love to have Chloe and Aubrey as girlfriends instead of just friends. Hunter was more cautious while Laney thought she should go for it.
Hunter and Laney were actually going to be at the semi-finals to watch Beca and pick her up to take her with them to Laney's family reunion. The couple had become her parents and they missed her. Laney's family all loved Beca as well. She had been to every one of Laney's family reunions since she was 11 years old. Beca had moved in with them when she was 12. Beca's birth mother had never even noticed she didn't live there anymore. All Beca had to do was show her face once a week or so and her mother never said a word. Over the years Beca showed up less and less and by the time she was thirteen pulled a fast one her mother. Her mother hadn't even noticed that the papers Beca gave her to sign for a special school program that she needed permission for and that her lawyer needed to sign and notarized were actually forms giving guardianship of Beca over to Hunter and Laney McAlester. Beca caught her mother when she was busy at work and her lawyer boyfriend was with her. They hadn't even looked at what they were signing. The lawyer notarized the documents and it was done. Beca couldn't believe it had worked, she thought for sure her mom wouldn't buy it. All Beca had to say was that the reason for so many forms was because Beca would be having to travel a lot for the program and the school didn't want to be held liable. Beca had changed her address with the school to a PO Box. She would watch her mother's mailbox when her birthday and Christmas came around for the card her dad would send with his guilt money inside. Beca hadn't seen her mother since she was 15 and wondered if the woman even remembered she had once had a daughter. Maybe someday if she sobered up.
Beca brushed the thoughts of her birth parents aside and groaned. Hunter was going to tease her endlessly about her flight attendant costume and Laney would be sure to get pictures to show everyone of Beca in a skirt. The things she went through to be near Chloe and Aubrey.
PP/PP/PP/PP/PP
Beca saw how everyone was falling asleep during their performance and Aubrey wasn't even going to get close to achieving her goal. Doing the only thing she could think of to try and save them she began a mash-up.
Aubrey went off on her big time for trying to help. She thought they were friends, but apparently she was so wrong. Nobody stood up for her and where did the Jesse comment come from. The guy was a movie geek who had a crush on her that was all. For fucks sake she was a god damned dyke. The thought of sex with a guy made her want to vomit.
Beca lifted her arms. "If this is what I get for trying…" She shrugged them all off ignoring Benji calling out to her as well as Hunter and Laney and bolted out the door.
PP/PP/PP/PP/PP
Hunter and Laney had heard the whole thing. Laney waved Hunter to follow Beca. She was going to talk with a couple senior Bellas. Laney knew Hunter wanted to do it, but she was afraid her wife might pop the blonde in the face.
Laney walked through the girls who were murmuring outside a dressing room all dressed in outfits similar to Beca's. She tried the dressing room's doorknob surprised to find it unlocked with the others standing outside.
"You might not want to go in there right now." A pink haired girl cautioned.
"Oh, I'm going in alright whether they like it or not."
"Are you with the competition?" A tall busty brunette asked.
"No. I'm Beca's mom." Her eyes flashed as she opened the door and entered the room unnoticed by the two women inside.
"I hope Blondie and Red's medical is paid up." She heard a girl with an Aussie accent say behind her as she closed the door.
…..
"What the hell were you thinking Bree? Why did you say those awful things about Beca? She has done nothing, but try to help. That is what she was doing tonight. And where did the Jesse thing come from? You know she is a lesbian. God how the hell are you planning on making her our girlfriend now? We have been trying to get closer to her since October and she was finally opening up a little. You just threw it all away over a competition we were always going to lose. If anything she improved our score." Chloe's arms were waving as she paced.
"If you thought it was so great why didn't you defend her? Why didn't any of you? I thought you all agreed with me about her cutting in. I don't know why I said those mean things. I took my disappointment and upset out on her. I didn't want to accept the blame and I put it all on her instead. I really fucked up big time." Aubrey cried collapsing into a folding chair putting her head in her hands.
"I wasn't any better though. I didn't stand up for her. I thought she did great trying to pull us out of the dumpster, but I let you chew her ass anyway and neither of us went after her. We let her go Bree after we hurt her. We have to go find her. How is she supposed to get back to Barden? Knowing Beca she would hitchhike or something." Chloe pulled on the blonde's hand to get her up. That's when the two young women noticed the older lady with long curly brown hair in a nice blouse and peasant skirt leaning against the closed door watching them.
"Took you long enough to notice I was here. I'm glad you see you messed up, but I don't know if either of you know how badly."
"Who're you?" Chloe asked.
"I'm one of Beca's adoptive moms. My wife went after Beca to make sure she was okay. You are really lucky she didn't come in her. Beca is the apple of that woman's eye. She would have already squashed you like a bug." Laney smiled to herself as both young women paled.
There was a knock on the door followed by Amy sticking her head in. "They want the Bellas to join the other groups on stage."
"You all go. Amy you can stand in for me and CR can do the same for Chloe." Aubrey waved the shocked girl out.
"What do you mean adoptive? I thought she lived with her birth mom after her parents' divorce." Chloe's face showed her confusion.
"What I'm about to tell you girls better not be shared with anyone else or I will let Hunter have your asses. You feel me?" Her tone was dead serious.
"We feel you." Two voices intoned.
"First off, my name is Laney and Hunter is my wife. We've known Beca since she was 10 years old. She talks about you two all the time. She's been pretty frustrated about not being able to help Aubrey achieve her goal of making it to the finals. Beca was actually surprised you made it this far. From what I heard Fat Amy's upbeat solo saved your bacon in the last big competition. I've heard all about the Bellas, but you two she talks about way more than anyone else. Beca's been agonizing over asking you out. I told her to go for it. Hunter told her to be cautious. It really chaps my backside you made Hunter right."
"She wanted to ask us out? Both of us?" Aubrey asked. She had always been afraid Beca would only want Chloe.
"Yes, both of you. I have to be honest with you. One woman won't be able to keep up with my girl." Laney went on to explain about Beca's heightened energy levels and libido and the little sleep she required. "It has some long ass medical term, but our girl is fine as long as she eats right and gets as much sleep as possible for her."
"Wow, we wondered how she stayed so busy and up so late and didn't fall on her face the next morning." Chloe wasn't going to mention Beca's 'Mitch' reputation.
"There is a lot you don't know. I won't tell you all, but I will tell you a bit. You two seem to really care for Beca and if you are serious about wanting to both make her yours?" She paused raising a brow very reminiscent of Beca.
"We are very serious. Neither of us has ever felt so drawn to someone before." Aubrey assured.
"How much do you know about her childhood?"
"We know her parents divorced when she was 9 and she didn't see her dad much and was raised by her mom, but apparently she left a lot out. She doesn't really talk about her life before Barden." Chloe tucked her hair behind her ears as she spoke.
"She doesn't talk about her life at Barden either. We know more is going on with her, but she won't share what it is." Aubrey sighed.
"That's my girl. She has walls to rival Fort Knox, but they were built by neglect and abandonment and the need to protect the new family she found." Laney went on to share how Beca's father walked out and she never saw him again until Barden. How her mother became hooked on anti-depressants and alcohol afterwards and her habit of bringing sleazy and creepy men home. How the woman never even realized it when her 10 year old ran away and eventually disappeared altogether. She shared a little bit about them taking her in. About how a 10 year old Beca approached Hunter offering to clean-up and do other odd jobs. How tiny the girl was looking more like she was 6 or 7 years old. "My wife spent some time in the foster care system and it wasn't pleasant. Hunter saw something in Beca and from that day on that tiny girl was hers and soon she became mine and the special girl of our whole little family at the gym. We all love her and have been there for her since she came into our lives, but she still has the deep hurt and scars from the ones who were supposed to love and care for her unconditionally."
"She isn't going to let us back in! God, I screwed up even worse than I thought." Aubrey cried. "What do we do to make it up to her?"
"You start by apologizing immediately and not giving up on her. If you are really serious about wanting her to be yours prove it to her. If you can ever get inside those walls you'll see what a truly amazing person Beca is." The older woman stood. "I need to gather Beca's things. I bet she has already talked Hunter into unlocking the RV so she can climb in there and change out of her flight attendant costume. I'm glad I got pictures before the competition started. Beca must really like you two to stick with the Bellas the way she has with the music you guys sing and wear a skirt and even take out her multitude of earrings." Laney picked up her girl's jacket and bag. The other two girls grabbed theirs and followed her out of the room.
The other Bellas were heading towards them. "Hey Blondie, look we came in third." Amy held up a small trophy. "Not enough to go to the finals, but not bad. I guess Beca did help us out."
"You were all great. I'm sorry I lost it earlier. Get your things and we'll meet you at the bus. It's been refueled and is outside now. I received the text earlier about it." Aubrey told them where the bus was parked.
The two senior Bellas followed Laney out of the building to the lot the buses and vans were parked in. They saw a big black club cab Ford truck with a sleek RV attached behind it. Beca was back in her street clothes and being held by a very tall broad shouldered woman with short spiky blond hair. She was attractive, but tough looking.
"Beca approached her at age 10 for a job? She is way braver than me. I'm afraid to approach the woman now." Aubrey commented getting a laugh out of Laney. Chloe agreed with her best friend.
PP/PP/PP/PP/PP
"Beca honey, your friends are coming with Laney." Hunter whispered as she saw the three women across the parking lot.
Beca wiped eyes and Hunter pulled a fresh hanky out of her jacket pocket and helped her girl with her raccoon eyes. "I am always amazed at how you can always produce those. You're a real gentlewoman, Hunter. Laney and I are lucky to have you."
"And you little girl are a charmer and I know you can be just as much of a gentlewoman as me. I, Laney, and the gang taught you well. In the case of 'Mitch' maybe a little too well." Hunter teased.
"Hey, I haven't had any complaints on those lessons." The small woman teased back.
Hunter snorted, then sobered. Beca took a deep breath before turning around. She didn't have time to say anything before Laney pulled her into her arms smothering her in a huge hug. Laney rivaled Chloe on not bothering with personal space with those she cared about.
"You were great up there, sweetheart. Your team made it to third place." She said aloud, but leaned down whispering. "They were already on their way to find you when I got a hold of them. They really care and are sorry. You may want to give them a chance." She leaned back looking into her girl's make-up free eyes and saw the hurt. She kissed her baby on the forehead before moving to stand with her wife.
Beca faced the two women she cared so much for. "Third isn't so bad. I'm sorry you guys won't get to go on to the finals. You all probably could have done well there." With a totally different set list she thought to herself. "I'm sorry I changed things like I did and messed you up Aubrey. I really was only trying to help. The ICCA's may be over for you, but you still have a few more singing gigs coming up, so at least there's that." Beca stopped talking not sure what else to say. Did they even want to be her friends anymore?
"Beca, I'm really sorry for what I said back there. I knew we weren't good enough and I couldn't handle how I failed and you were an easy target for me to place the blame on. You're improvisation is probably the only reason we placed third. I also think you are a great Bella. You knew I was messing up from the beginning just like Chloe here. You argued with me constantly about our outdated and over used set list. Let's just say I have some serious daddy issues that push me to always strive to be the best to make him proud and I haven't managed it yet. I hope you will come back to the Bellas after break. We really do need you." Aubrey heard the desperation in her own voice.
"I'm sorry too Beca. I should have stood up for you back there. I knew Bree was losing it and going overboard and I let it happen. I actually liked what you did and most everyone flowed with it like it was no big deal at all. I really hope you come back to the Bellas. You're great for the group and all the girls love you. It won't be the same without you. But either way, Bree and I want to stay friends with you. We have gotten really close over the past few months. We've been dying to ask you out, but have been afraid you wouldn't like us both or want that with us. We really hope we haven't lost our chance." Chloe prayed they hadn't.
"You both wanted to ask me out, like together?" Beca couldn't believe it.
"Yes, we would like to take you out together and also spend time with you one-on-one. We both really like you and want to get to know you better. I hope me and my out of control show of temper didn't cost us any chance we might have had." Aubrey hadn't felt this nervous at the ICCA finals the previous year. She breathed deep not wanting a repeat of puke gate.
Beca was stunned the two women she had been crushing on were into her, but Aubrey's harsh words still hung in her ears. The blonde said she didn't mean them, but what if all this was because Laney put the smack down on them. She wasn't sure what to do.
"Honestly, I'm a little confused right now and a bit hurt. I still want to be friends and I'm not saying no to going out with you or rejoining the Bellas, but I need some time to settle all of this inside my head and my heart. Can we talk again after spring break?" Beca hoped they gave her the time and didn't just throw her away.
"That is a lot better answer than we believed we would get." Aubrey smiled. "We will give you until after spring break, but then we're coming for you. We're not giving up on you Beca."
"Not as long as we have some hope of winning your heart." Chloe also smiled. "Have a good break and a safe trip." She hugged Beca and kissed her on the cheek before the smaller woman could react. Aubrey followed suit. "We'll be seeing you as soon as you return."
Beca was stunned and wasn't sure what to say. "You two have a good break and tell the others I said bye and wished them a good break as well. I'll see you in a week." She smiled before turning to climb into the backseat of the big truck, her mind and heart racing.
Hunter smiled down at the two young women. "If you meant what you just said I just might like you, but I warn you now. If you crush my baby girl's heart I will crush you, got that?"
The two gulped nodding.
"Good, now have a nice break and drive safe back to Barden." Hunter moved around the truck to climb in behind the wheel.
"You two did well. I could tell you surprised my girl. We'll talk this week and she'll get things all worked out for herself. You better be ready for your date after break. I have a feeling Beca won't back away. I've never known her to be a coward. However, I agree with Hunter, you hurt her and I will be helping my wife in the crushing." Laney smiled. "It has been interesting meeting you ladies. Have a fun spring break." She called as the truck rumbled to life and she climbed into the front passenger's seat.
Chloe and Aubrey waved to Beca as the truck slowly pulled away with the sleek camper rolling smoothly behind it.
"I know I gotta be head over heels for the midget if I'm willing to face those women for her. Hunter alone could make my father shake in his boots." Aubrey said as the vehicle disappeared from sight.
"I'm with you there. Laney's got that whole mama bear thing going on in spades. You can tell she's nice, but you mess with her cub and she'll tear you to ribbons. I see a bit of both of them in Beca." Chloe observed as she slid her arm through Aubrey's as they headed towards their bus.
"I'm just glad Beca found them. I feel sick thinking what could have happened to her if she hadn't." Aubrey shuddered at the thought.
"I've really lost all respect for Dr. Mitchell. I took his class last year and he seemed like such a nice guy always talking about his wife. He never once mentioned his own daughter." Chloe shook her head unable to comprehend how parents could do such things to their child.
"Come on we have a week to come up with some date ideas. We aren't giving up. We know she wants to date us and we've already met her parents, now we just have to make her ours. We can do this Chloe, we are the dynamic duo, remember." Aubrey squeezed her friends arm.
"You're right. Together we can move mountains or tear down the walls of Fort Beca." Chloe laughed and Aubrey followed. It was good to be able to laugh together after the tumultuous day they had went through.
The other Bellas were smiling as they climbed on the bus. It was good to see Beca's mom hadn't done away with them.
"Where is Short stack? Is she coming back to the Bellas?" Fat Amy asked.
"She's off to spring break with her moms and we'll see if she is rejoining the Bellas when she gets back. We apologized to her and she apologized to for throwing anyone off. She said for you all to have a good spring break and to tell you 'Bye' for her." Chloe told them.
The ride back to Barden was a lot more upbeat than anyone thought it would be after the blow-up, and they all hoped Beca was back with them soon. She was a major part of their group and it felt odd not having her around. None had really realized how important a part the alt-girl was to their little group until she was gone.

I hoped you liked. Any ideas for a fun first date? I would love to hear them. I am thinking on it. Well I better get back to typing. I have been writing in notebooks lately and I have got a new chapter of my Winds of Change story I need to type in as well as my Twists of Fate. Often times my imagination flows better with pen and paper then a computer keyboard. I love to watch the pages fill and the pens drain and I find writing in colors other than normal blue and blacks also good for my imagination. Now give me a shout out and share with me! I love to hear from my readers. Until Next Time…Holly
