Hello everyone! So, so sorry this has taken me longer than usual to get out! I've been crazy busy recently and have been writing this sparodically over the past week and a bit. But I have to say your reviews kept me going, they were so great and I absolutely love hearing your feedback and ideas about what to put in, it means the world to me! I've made this chapter a little longer for you guys, the whole thing is just a big ball of fluff so I hope you enjoy it!


WEEK 1

11.30pm

When Chloe and Beca finally returned back to the Bella house they got a cheer louder than when Beca returned from her night time jail visit in freshman year. It was a mixture of heroic applause, laughter, and ooo's of pain when they saw the cast. Beca grinned and held up her cast in a mock triumph pose as Chloe smiled next to her, holding a bag of pain relief in one hand and Beca's hand in the other.

"Ah hah yes!" Stacie cheered as she held out her hand, and 5 other Bellas groaned and slapped several dollar bills into it.

"Do I even want to know?" Beca asked, with an eyebrow raised.

"Stacie made what we thought was a radical bet, that you would get a blue cast instead of a black one." Jessica groaned as she too handed Stacie money.

Cynthia Rose rolled her eyes from her stretched out position on the couch. "Shouldn't have bet against your whipped ass."

Chloe laughed. "Come on guys it's so adorable." She said as she wrapped her arm around Beca's waist and kissed the side of her head.

"So what's the damage?" Flo asked.

Beca sighed. "Broken scaphoid. 6 weeks in this bad boy. And not even a cool scar to tell the tale."

"You could always keep the cast." Ashley suggested, only to be met with disgusted looks from many other Bellas.

"Nah way, that thing gets nasty stinky when you take it off. You ain't bringing it in here." Cynthia Rose said, pointing at Beca.

The Bellas then continued to talk amongst themselves about scars and casts. Chloe was still smiling and listening upon the group when she felt Beca droop into her as she grew tired.

"Alright!" Chloe announced, as she squeezed Beca around the waist, getting her to stand up a little straighter. "This one is pretty wrecked from the big ordeal. I think it's time to call it a night."

Beca nodded, feeling too fatigued to disagree or brush it off as she felt herself being led off by Chloe. "Thanks for waiting up. You nerds are awesome."

Stacie, unable to help herself (as usual) had to make one last comment. "Give baby bluey not-so-badass Beca a kiss goodnight from us!" She smirked and laughed when Beca held up her middle finger in response, as she and Chloe climbed the stairs.

When they got upstairs, Beca flopped straight down on the bed. Chloe laughed and shook her head as she put the bag of pain killers down and rearranged some things on Beca's beside table and floor. A few minutes later, Beca still hadn't moved from her position and Chloe sat down on the side of the bed.

"Come on baby, you gotta get ready for bed properly." Chloe said. When Beca gave no response, Chloe raked her fingers up and down Beca's back, making her shiver.

Chloe smiled, knowingly. "Beca…"

"Mmmf." Beca responded, her voice muffled into the pillows. She then rolled over, onto her left side, and huffed her breath to get the hair out of her face. "What?"

Chloe moved up the bed further, and gently lifted Beca's head into her lap. She ran her fingers through her hair and felt her girlfriend let out a long breath of contentment.

"Are you ok baby?" Chloe asked, wondering about Beca's silence.

Beca was silent for a few more moments before throwing her casted arm over Chloe's lap to land next to her face as she huffed again.

Chloe laughed, "Ok dramatic pants. I know you've got a broken wrist. So you are ok?"

Beca nodded, turning her head over so she was staring up at Chloe's face. "I'll live I suppose." She said, as a small cheeky grin formed on her face. She lifted her head a little and Chloe came down to meet her, giving her a long kiss.

Beca smiled when they separated. "A few more of those and I think I'll be better faster than ever."

Rolling her eyes good naturedly, Chloe gently stood up and pulled Beca into a sitting position. "Ok we're going to get these pain killers in you. Now these are pretty strong. They said at the pharmacy the doctor told them you'd get some swelling and throbbing so it'll be painful when that hits in a couple of hours. Hopefully though, these will put you to sleep before that happens."

Beca just stared up at her.

"What?"

A small smirk appeared on Beca's face. "You're the hottest doctor I've ever had."

Chloe rolled her eyes again, grinning at Beca. "Don't make me use my special skills to get you to take these." She said as she held out a handful of the different pain killers in her hand and Beca swallowed them.

Chloe then continued on to take Beca's clothes off, gently manoeuvring her cast around her shirt and back again when she put a pyjama top on her. Beca once again let her, both the tiredness and the effect of the pain killers kicking in to stop her being stubborn about having someone fuss over her.

Five minutes later Chloe had just finished tying Beca's hair into a loose bun on the top of her head.

"Ok baby, sleep time."

Beca complied and lay down, resting her cast on her stomach. She moved to one side of the bed and looked up at Chloe.

"Those pain killers hit you pretty hard huh?"

A small, tired smile was all Chloe got in response.

"You're going to have a big, big sleep."

"You sleep with me?" Beca murmured quietly.

"Not yet baby, I've got some things to sort out."

"But Chloeeeee." Beca whined, as she pouted and looked at her girlfriend. "I'm hurting."

Chloe laughed quietly, and knew she wouldn't be able to resist Beca's pout forever. "Don't play that card."

"But I am hurting."

"I know." Chloe said lovingly, and sighed when Beca put on her biggest pout yet. She gently lay down on the space in the bed, and rested her head inches away from Beca's.

"Hi."

"Hi." Chloe whispered back, and kissed Beca's forehead. "How's your wrist?"

"It's sore."

"Broken bones suck huh?"

Beca nodded slightly in response, leaning up to kiss Chloe gently.

"I'm gonna stay with you until you fall asleep okay?"

"Thanks babe."

"I love you."

"Love you Chlo." Beca whispered, as her eyes shut and she began to fall asleep.

Chloe lay a little longer in the bed as she watched Beca's breathing even out. After about 10 minutes she gently slid out, pulling the blanket higher over Beca and moving her casted arm so it was elevated on her stomach. She kissed her head softly as she left the room, walking back down the stairs to rejoin the Bellas who were still sitting together on the couch.

"How is the shrimp?" Amy asked, as Chloe wedged herself into a space in the couch, between Flo and Stacie.

Chloe smiled. "She's fine. Super sore wrist, but that's to be expected. The pain killers really knocked her out though. In like 5 minutes."

Stacie burst into laughter at this news and got out her phone. "That's a good one. Aubrey's been asking me to fill her in on any hilarious moments."

Chloe wacked her on the arm half heartedly, a small grin on her face. "Don't you two give her too much of a hard time. She's gonna be annoyed as it is that she won't be able to do basically anything by herself."

Lily whispered something the other Bellas chose to ignore about bending peoples will when Amy spoke up, in between laughter. "Yeah, the next six weeks are going to be the end of Beca the badass."

"Is there anything we can do to help out, Chloe?" Ashley asked.

Chloe sighed, sitting up straighter. "Just keep an eye out. She'll be able to figure out most things one handed but it's really important for her not to aggravate it these next few days, and that means if you see her using her right hand, tell her to stop. You'll get the glare, trust me. But she can't make it worse and I know she'll try something." The room nodded and Chloe continued. "Oh and Amy, big ask, but I can't see Beca being down with you getting her changed every morning. Are you cool with switching rooms for this time? Maybe like from tomorrow night?"

Amy nodded, shrugging nonchalantly. "Sure Chloe. I'm either listening to you and Beca make out in my room or moving into yours to listen to Stacie and Aubrey make out so what's the difference?"

Amy's comment had the room in hysterics, as Chloe blushed slightly and rolled her eyes.

Stacie shrugged unashamedly, grinning. "I'll be on Beca patrol. I'm not missing the glorious opportunity to tell Beca she isn't allowed to do something."


Thursday, 9am

As it turned out, not only Stacie, but practically every Bella got the opportunity to tell Beca this.

First, it was Amy, who watched Beca struggle to bend her arm around to find the hole in her jacket. Chloe had just left the room to have a shower, and Beca had pulled the jacket from the closet, thinking she was out of sight.

"Beca, you're looking like a very poor alligator wrestler right now." Amy said, as she opened the closet door more fully.

Beca stopped spinning with her jacket half on her and sighed. "Dude, I can do it."

"Sure you can shrimp."

"Amy." Beca growled at the nickname.

Amy ignored her and pulled the jacket around Beca, holding the arm up so Beca could slip her cast through.

Beca sighed again.

"You're welcome Beca." Amy grinned, and left the room.

Next, it was Cynthia Rose, who bumped into Beca in the hallway as she struggled to hold her laptop, her speakers, and phone in both of her hands.

"Girl, no." Cynthia Rose chided as she grabbed the stuff from Beca, leaving her to hold only her phone. When Beca made a sound of protest, Cynthia Rose raised her eyebrows and held her laptop over the stairwell, making Beca retreat for fear of her precious laptops life.

Then, it was Jessica and Ashley, who in the middle of pouring a heap of Lucky Charms into their bowls, stepped Beca aside and poured her cereal and milk into a bowl the second Beca tried to reach for it herself. Beca huffed in annoyance and grabbed the bowl with her left hand, then attempted to pick the spoon up from the bench with her right hand which her cast prevented her from doing.

Before she could do anything about it, Lily zoomed past and put the spoon into her bowl, continuing on to grab a piece of toast and exit the kitchen again.

Beca was staring at the spot Lily had just been when her thoughts were interrupted by Chloe bounding into the kitchen, fresh from her shower. "Good morning everyone!"

Chloe received various replies from the Bellas that were in the kitchen, but nothing from Beca who stood in front of her, holding her bowl and spoon of cereal.

"Aw baby that frown wasn't on your face 10 minutes ago." Chloe said, moving her fingers to Beca's face to smooth out the scowl that had appeared.

"What did you tell them last night? So far this morning holding this bowl of cereal is the most strenuous thing I've done."

Chloe stopped her hand on Beca's face, and gently cupped her cheek with it. "Beca you just broke your wrist. The first few days after it happens are always the worst, and if you use it you'll just make it more painful."

Beca huffed and broke eye contact with Chloe.

"Baby." Chloe said, with a knowing smile on her face. "You know I'm right. I could see it in your face earlier this morning that you were in pain."

Beca still didn't look at her, and Chloe grabbed her good hand. "I promise I'll get them to lay off after today. Please, just today, will you accept the help? Your wrist will thank you for it." She said, as she grabbed the cast gently and lifted it to her own face, kissing the tip of Beca's fingers. She put on a baby voice, and pointed Beca's cast back at her. "Thank you Beca I love you."

Before Beca could stop herself she let out a laugh and shook her head, still avoiding eye contact with Chloe.

Chloe let Beca's wrist go gently and moved closer to her, lifting her face to get her to look at her. "Please baby? For me? Your beautiful girlfriend?"

Beca smiled, again before she could stop herself. "You're such an annoying weirdo." She leant up to kiss her softly. "But I suppose I can do that for you, beautiful."

Chloe kissed her again, humming happily. "Always such a charmer."

Stacie walked into the kitchen to grab a bowl, muttering with a smirk, "Yeah, we'll see how charming she is tonight after a day with one hand."


7.35pm

"I mean I hate to say I called it, but…" Stacie said grinning, as she stood with one hand on her hip, and held a plastic bag and tape in the other.

"Stacie you are being the biggest pain in my ass right now." Beca said as she went to cross her arms and then flung them apart angrily when her cast prevented her from doing so.

Stacie burst into laughter, and pulled out her phone from her pocket. "Wait, wait, wait, can you do that again? That would make Aubrey's entire night."

"I swear you are so lucky I don't have two hands free to strangle you with."

"Beca, I'm wondering why you think you have an option here. You want to get in the shower, you need the plastic bag. The cast cannot get wet!" Stacie said exasperatedly.

"Dude, if you think you're coming anywhere near me with tape you're crazy."

Stacie sighed and turned around to yell out the door. "Lily!"

Beca's eyes widened. "No, no. We don't need Lily. She's going to pull some crazy shit on me!"

"Well if you weren't being such a stubborn ass we wouldn't have this problem!"

Lily entered the room and took one look at the situation. Before anyone knew what was happening she had grabbed the bag and wrapped it around Beca's cast, holding it closed with one hand as she motioned for Stacie to tape where the bag ended and Beca's skin showed.

"I hate you." Beca said, as Stacie began to wrap tape around her arm.

Stacie smirked, as she finished the job. She then broke into laughter when Beca tried to move her arm but it was locked into place by the tape.

"I'm like a fucking tin man!" Beca groaned, as she held her arm out awkwardly.

Stacie took a picture, laughing harder. "This one is definitely going to Aubrey. Well our work here is done, have fun nerd." She said, as her and Lily left the bathroom.

When they were into the hall, Lily continued downstairs but Stacie stopped, sending the photo to both her girlfriend and Chloe. She added a caption to Chloe's photo that read: 'Baby blue Beca struggling with shower time. She's wishing her girl wasn't stuck in a Master's seminar. Damage control when you get home Chlo!'


8.42pm

"Hey baby." Chloe whispered as she pressed herself against Beca's back, being careful not to knock her cast when her arms slipped around the girl's waist.

Beca was standing in the kitchen, twirling a tea bag around in a cup absentmindedly and immediately melted back into Chloe's embrace. "How was the seminar?"

Chloe hummed softly, pressing a few soft kisses behind Beca's ear as they stayed cuddled together. "It was interesting. But long. I've been looking forward to a bath since it started." She turned Beca around, so she could see her face. "Stacie sent me updates on shower time. On a scale of 1-10 how bad did it suck?"

"It was a solid 12. This shit still gets wet even with like an entire roll of tape cutting off my blood circulation. And my arm went dead from trying to hold it up out of the way of the water. And the thought of washing my hair was pretty much the worst thing in the world so it didn't happen."

"You're right that is a 12."

Beca eyed Chloe, suspiciously. "You better not be making fun of me Beale."

Chloe held her hands up in a mock surrender. "Baby! I would never." She grinned and then leaned in closer to Beca, kissing her once on the lips and murmuring, "But if you play your cards right there is a bathtub and a hair wash with me waiting for you.."

Beca breathed in sharply, a dazed smile coming onto her face. "You've got yourself a deal. What do I have to do to get you to consider throwing in some extra bath time activities?"

Chloe reached behind Beca and grabbed her cup of tea, taking a sip from it as she kept her voice low. "Being naked in the bathroom in the next two minutes may or may not have something to do with it." She winked, and laughed as Beca immediately left her side, taking off up the stairs.

Yeah, Chloe thought, she could always rely on that one sure fire way to turn Beca's mood around.


WEEK 2

4.16pm

As Chloe promised, the more days that passed with Beca in her cast, the more the Bellas retreated to give Beca room to adapt to life one handed. There was one situation, however, where the girls, (who really did try their hardest), could not resume as normal - and that was Bellas practice. The sight of Beca leading the pack and waving her arms around her head with one of her tiny arms dwarfed in the big cast was simultaneously the cutest and most hilarious thing most Bellas had witnessed at their rehearsals. Not only was it out of proportion, but it was clear that Beca still hadn't quite grasped the balance of having the cast on her arm and making everyday movements.

"Okay guys, I think we've got the first song down now. Let's try out that new arrangement I played at home the other night." Beca said, as everyone moved from their places in the last number to stand in a closer group. "Sopranos, keep an eye on me for your cue."

The Bellas nodded and listened as Lily laid out the beat, each coming in when they were supposed to. With the tenors and altos singing, the sopranos watched Beca for their cue into the song, which wasn't until about a quarter of the way through. Beca nodded her head to the beat as the song progressed, smiling at how it was coming together. The soprano section really completed the song and she was looking forward to hearing the girls sing it. She began to tap her foot and move her hands to count in their beats and just before they were meant to come in she lifted her hands up, feeling the flow of the song.

Unfortunately for Beca, she forgot about the big fibreglass attachment to her right arm and wacked herself in the face in the moment of the song. Instead of coming in when she was supposed to, Stacie snorted with laughter before any of the other Bellas, who hadn't been watching Beca as closely, realised what had happened. Soon however, the singing stopped, and a few bursts of laughter and ooo's of pain echoed around the hall.

"Mother fucker!" Beca swore, as she rubbed the side of her face that she had hit.

Cynthia Rose, who was standing the closest to Beca moved towards her. "Shit lil B that looked sore. You alright?"

Beca nodded, willing the tears away that had arrived from the blunt force of the hit. "I'm fine."

A few other Bellas moved forward as well, peering a look at Beca. Chloe slipped out from the group, coming around to stand behind Beca. She turned her face gently so she could get a proper stare at it, and locked eyes with her girlfriend, who nodded slightly, letting her know she truly was fine. A smile came on to Chloe's face and she placed a quick kiss to Beca's temple, resulting in various coos from the Bellas.

"Alright let's try that again, and maybe Mohammed Ali won't cause anymore damage this time around." Chloe said, grinning as she nudged Beca in her side, who blushed ever so slightly.

"What is that, like Beca 0, Cast 20?" Stacie said, laughing.

"Fuck off Stacie."


WEEK 3

The pen moved closer to Beca's baby blue cast and for the fifth time she jerked it away.

"Beca!" Various voices exclaimed, exasperated.

Beca moved her cast behind her back, way away from the marker Stacie was holding in her hand. "I'm sorry I just…Stacie I know you're going to defile my cast in some way!"

Flo moved from the couch she was kneeling on to take the marker from Stacie and stand in front of Beca. "Look, let me go. I don't know why we thought Beca would be down with Stacie going first."

Stacie looked affronted but sat down, and Beca sighed, bringing her cast back to the front for Flo to hold. Flo took the lid off the pen and wrote around the top edge of Beca's cast, by where it ended at her elbow.

'protegerse, azul bebé!' Flo read out, after she had finished, and was met with confused faces from the Bellas. "It means protect yourself, baby blue."

Chloe smiled, "Aw Flo that's really sweet!"

"Wait, wait. How do we know that's really what it says? She could have written eat dingo turd for all we know." Amy said.

Stacie cocked her head to the side, thinking. "That's not actually a bad one."

Flo rolled her eyes, chucking the pen at Amy. "You wish you were bilingual bitch. At least I was nice to Beca."

"Honestly dude you're my favourite right now. It can only go downhill from here." Beca said, fist bumping Flo.

"Beca!" Chloe said from her seat, flicking Beca's leg with her foot.

"What babe? You and that pen is a bad combination." Beca said, grinning.

"To what, write 'I love you sooooo much Beca' all over it?" Cynthia Rose said, as she passed the marker on to Lily, after just having written an elaborate, decorative 'CR' on the side of her cast.

Lily drew lightning bolts down the side of her cast as Chloe chucked a pillow at Cynthia Rose. Lily then gave the marker to Amy who wrote in big letters, "This cast has now been signed by the hottest and most talented member of the Barden Bellas"

Beca snorted, examining her work. "Nice Amy. Humility has always been your forte."

Amy shrugged, grinning as she threw the pen to Jessica who wrote "DJ Brakey Break" on it, much to the amusement of the other Bellas. Ashley took the marker next, turning the cast over to find some space.

"Oh Ash draw something cool! I've seen those pictures in your room, you're so good!" Chloe said, leaning in to see what the girl would do. Ashley drew a big treble clef, connecting it to the end of one of Lily's lightning bolts and then drawing the B of the Barden Bellas next to it.

"Dude that's awesome!" Beca said, smiling at her work. "Ok, I think I'm calm enough to give the cast up to Stacie now."

Stacie grinned, grabbing the marker. "Finally!" She said, as she moved Beca's cast out of her vision to draw on it. After a few minutes she was done, and thrust it back in Beca's face.

"You should see the other guy." Was written in Stacie's handwriting, with a simple drawing of the floor by Beca's bed outlined in a square box, with an arrow from the words "the other guy" pointing to it. Beca couldn't help but laugh along with the other girls, she definitely deserved that one.

Chloe had just taken the pen from Stacie when she stopped, and sniffed the air. "Girls, is something burning?"

"The cookies!" Amy and Flo yelled at each other, as they scrambled off the couches and ran into the kitchen to turn off the oven. Bar Beca and Chloe, the rest of the Bellas ran after them, laughing as they listened to Amy and Flo argue and groan when they took their clearly burnt cookies out of the oven.

Beca immediately gravitated closer to Chloe on the couch, although she had more space now all she wanted was to be close to the redhead. Chloe welcomed her, lifting her arm up for Beca to snuggle into her side, as she wrapped her right hand around Beca's right side, with the marker poised at her cast.

"Hmmm…what to do, what to do." Chloe said in a sing song voice, and Beca laughed against her, placing a kiss on the skin showing just by the neck of her shirt.

Chloe began to write with the marker on the thumb of Beca's cast, and when she was done she watched Beca read it.

A soft smile grew on Beca's face as she read Chloe's comment which was written in Chloe's loose scrawl, 'My little badass.'

"Damn straight." Beca said, putting on a tough voice while at the same time cuddling closer into Chloe.


WEEK 4

7.23pm

"I hate you. You did this to me on purpose."

Stacie put on an affronted look, but the grin still cracked onto her face. "Beca, would I really do this to you?"

"Oh don't give me that. I bet Posen was in on this as well." Beca said, as she slit her eyes at Stacie over the counter. "You…you cook the most amazing meal. Ribs. Ribs! Ribs which I love. Ribs which I could devour until my dying day. Ribs which I can't fucking hold, get on my cast, or eat! Stacie you are dead meat."

"Hmmm no I'm not. But these ribs definitely are. Feel free to join us at the dinner table." Stacie said as she sauntered past Beca, holding the big plate of ribs in front of her as she sat with the rest of the Bellas who were laughing at the interaction.

"Bec come and sit down, it's no different to any other dinner time." Chloe said from the table, as she grabbed the salad that Jessica passed her.

Beca slouched down to the table, plopping dramatically down into the chair next to Chloe. "But Chloe," She whined, much to the amusement of the Bellas, "It's ribs! If you can't eat ribs right then you can't eat them at all!"

"Baby I'll cut it for you but if you don't want them like that there's really nothing else you can do about it." Chloe said as she passed the salad on, and looked at Beca.

"Don't worry Beca I'll take your share." Amy said from across the table, taking the plate of ribs in her hands.

Beca squeezed Chloe's thigh under the table, and shook her head at Amy's comment. "No way, cast or not I am enjoying at least some part of these ribs."

"Just think of this as pay back for almost letting me eat off those disgusting chop sticks yesterday." Stacie said, scowling as Beca grew a huge grin and began laughing at the memory.

Yesterday, 6.35pm

Beca sighed exasperatedly for what seemed to be the hundredth time on her walk home from the station to the Bellas house with Chloe. Ever since Chloe had picked her up, Beca had been showing discomfort with her cast and kept trying to twist her arm around inside it.

Rounding the corner to the Bellas house, Beca once again dropped her hold on Chloe's hand to use her good hand to fuss at her cast.

"What's up with you and baby blue today?" Chloe asked, and Beca didn't know whether to roll her eyes or smile lovingly that Chloe just nicknamed her cast.

"Well for one it's the itchiest shit on the planet. I can't move my arm at all to get rid of the irritation." Beca said, and then stopped walking altogether, scratching at the skin above where her cast started. "This genuinely might be how I die babe. It's driving me to insanity."

Chloe rolled her eyes, smiling. She took Beca's left hand in hers again, and pulled them along to continue down the path. "Okay baby," She said, and tried not to laugh as Beca grumbled along behind her.

When they got into the house, the smell of Japanese takeaways filled the air and lifted both of their spirits, as they followed the smell to the kitchen.

"Hallelujah to whoever's genius idea this was." Beca said, her eyes growing wide at all the food on the bench.

"You're welcome." Amy said from one of the bar stools, only to be hit over the head with the paper by Flo, who was next to her.

"You're a slippery little liar Amy. Don't take our credit away from us." She said, pointing to herself and Lily, who was fake shooting Amy across the kitchen with a grin on her face.

The girls continued to dish up food onto their plates, and Ashley dug around in the plastic bag to tip out the napkins and chopsticks they needed to use to eat. They all moved excitedly into the living room and Beca was going to ask why, before she remembered what night it was.

"The Bachelor." She muttered to herself, rolling her eyes as the girls flocked to the couches with their food, Chloe included. Beca continued to take her time with the food, not interested for anything the Bachelor had to offer her apart from the cute and hilarious reactions her girlfriend made. She shoved some chopsticks in her rice and left her dinner on the bench, getting a drink of water. She briefly considered tipping the water down her cast because it was that itchy, before she spotted the last set of chopsticks and hatched an idea. Pulling them out of the packet and breaking them apart, she shoved them down her cast and had to stop herself from moaning in relief. Why she didn't do this sooner was beyond her, and she spent a good few minutes moving the chopsticks around to relieve the itchiness.

"Baby are you o…are those chopsticks?" Chloe asked, as she walked back into the kitchen to check on Beca and see what was taking her so long.

Beca only nodded, too engrossed in the relief to say anything. Chloe laughed and picked up Beca's glass, drinking the last of the water from it before going to fill it up again.

Beca finally put the chopsticks back down on the bench. "Babe I'm a genius. I'm so much happier right now. Those are a real game changer."

"What are?" Stacie asked, with her wet hair from the shower she just took hanging around her shoulders. "Oooh, dinner!" She exclaimed, and grabbed the chopsticks Beca had just put down as she picked some noodles up with them.

Beca stared at what Stacie was about to do. She knew she should stop her. But the itch of revenge for all the mocking Stacie and Aubrey had done over the past few weeks was now stronger than the itch of her arm. Stacie had just gotten a good grip on a bunch of food with the sticks when Chloe came to stand next to Beca, the glass of water in her hands. She was about to simultaneously wrap her arm around Beca and take a drink when she stopped both movements, and yelled out.

"Stacie stop!"

Stacie jumped a little at Chloe's loud exclamation and stopped her movements, the noodles halfway to her mouth.

Chloe rounded on Beca. "Beca you were not about to let her do that!"

Beca smiled meekly, not sure whether it was appropriate to laugh. "I was maybe about to let her do that."

"Do what?" Stacie demanded, noodles still in the air.

"Those chopsticks you were about to put into your mouth were previously just down Beca's cast, most likely collecting dead skin and other fun stuff." Chloe said, looking between the girls. She had previously been serious but after saying that out loud and realising the funny side of it, she struggled to hold back a laugh.

Stacie's face turned to one of disgust, and she threw the chopsticks and noodles into the sink. "Beca Mitchell you are dead!"

Beca scrambled behind Chloe, holding onto the back of her shirt to hide from Stacie. "Come on dude I wouldn't have really let you eat with them…much."

"Beca that is so gross!"

"I'm one handed! My pranks aren't up to my usual standard, cut me a break."

Stacie put her hands on her hips, and eyed Beca out. "Just you wait." She said as she picked up the entire noodle container, a fork, and walked out into the lounge.

Present time

Beca and Stacie continued to bicker across the table with interjections from the other Bellas and when Chloe nudged Beca, pointing to the pile of meat and marinade she had scraped off the ribs for her Beca planted a big kiss on her lips, and scooped some straight away onto her fork.

"Totally worth it." She said around her mouthful of food, grinning at Stacie.


WEEK 5, 7.10am

Beca sighed softly as she sat on the edge of the bed rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She moved quietly from the bed around the room to find some clothes, as to not wake Chloe on her day off. She stepped into the closet and eyed one of the plastic bags littered on the ground menacingly. Showering was, without a doubt, Beca's most hated part of having a cast. Usually she began to try and pull the tape on herself before one of the Bellas (most often Stacie with a shit eating grin on her face) tattle taled and someone else came to finish the task for her. This time however, Beca was determined to do it herself – if only she could find the stupid tape. She gave up on looking in the closet and squinted her eyes as she walked back into the darkness of the room, trying to figure out where Chloe might have left it.

She eventually spotted it lying beside the bedside table, and with a little too much enthusiasm reached down to get it, only to whack her cast on the bedside table on her way.

"Fuck!" Beca cried out, forgetting to keep her voice to a whisper.

As much as Beca had tried to avoid it, her voice had done the job of waking Chloe up, as the redhead rolled over slowly in the bed, cracking her eyes open and giving Beca a tired , questioning look.

"Beca? Are you ok?"

Beca sat down on the bed and brushed her good hand through Chloe's hair, willing her back down onto the pillow and back to sleep. "Shhh Chlo I'm fine just go back to sleep."

"What are you holding?"

Beca placed the bag and tape behind her. "Nothing…you're dreaming."

Chloe gave a tired laugh and leant up on her elbows, opening her eyes wider. "Nice try. Hand it over I'll help you."

"Chlo you don't have to you should be sleeping; this is your day off!"

"Baby don't worry I've got all day to do that." Chloe replied, and kissed Beca's forehead as she reached behind her to get the tape and plastic bag.

Beca watched in the dim light with a soft smile on her face as Chloe's tired eyes concentrated on the cast.

"You're my favourite, you know that?" Beca said when Chloe finished, and leaned in to kiss her.

Chloe smiled through the kiss. "I had a feeling I was."

"Thanks for looking after me. Sorry I'm such a grump."

Chloe grabbed Beca's face in her hands and kissed her a few more times. "Yes but you're my grump and I'd do anything for you.

Beca leant into Chloe's touch and smiled. "I can't wait until I am out of this thing."

"Only a few more weeks baby."

Beca grinned, and leant back over Chloe to kiss her, making the girl lay flat on her back.

After a few minutes they pulled apart, and Chloe's voice was thick. "If this is your way of sending me back to sleep you've got some strange ideas Mitchell."

"Even with one hand, I still got it." Beca said, wiggling her eyebrows at Chloe.

Chloe laughed and tapped her butt, making Beca get off the bed and head to the direction of the shower. "I love you Beca."

"Love you too babe." Beca said, and winked as she turned around to head to the door.

"Also, Aubrey is visiting next week. She said she wouldn't want to miss baby blue Beca for anything." Chloe slipped in, and Beca stopped in her tracks, looking back at her girlfriend in the bed.

"She's what?"

Chloe grinned, and snuggled back into the blankets. "Remember that part where we said I love you? Just keep thinking of that. It's happening so just embrace it."

Beca leant into the doorframe and accepted that Chloe was right, no matter how much she wasn't looking forward to Stacie and Aubrey ganging up on her. She would just have to handle things better on her own, even if that meant a few days of using her right hand before she felt ready to. Anything to knock the grin off their faces, she thought as she continued to the shower.


WEEK 6, Friday 5pm

So far Beca's plan had worked well for her, and she had cleverly come up with ways around most household tasks with just one hand. Most, both to Chloe's disdain and amusement involved holding things in her mouth, (Stacie just quipped that was because it was Beca's best asset in the bedroom) or balancing multiple items on one side of her body, which sometimes threw her small figure totally off balance – this one just to Chloe and the rest of the Bellas amusement.

There was one job, however, where Beca hadn't, and couldn't see a way around doing it properly with only one hand and that was opening things. Not only could she not grip it with her right hand, but the cast up her arm prevented her from being able to stabilize anything for her left hand to open.

Nevertheless, she wasn't known as stubborn for nothing, and that was how Beca found herself with a jar pressed between her stomach and the edge of the bench, trying to hold it still while her left hand pulled at the jar lid.

"Well, well, well what do we have here." Stacie announced as she sauntered into the kitchen, crossing her arms and looking at Beca.

Beca ignored her, muttering under her breath as she continued to try to pull the lid of the jar off.

Stacie continued on. "Correct me if I'm wrong but that definitely looks like something that is definitely damaging to your cast."

"You are wrong, and it's not going to be damaging when I get this lid off very soon." Beca replied through her teeth. When she faltered, and the jar almost slipped down onto the floor, Stacie stepped in towards Beca to grab the jar.

"Dude I can do it!" Beca said, angling her body away from Stacie.

Stacie sighed, trying not to grin. "Beca I know, but you're so close to getting the cast off! You don't want to damage all the progress you've made."

"If I could do everything else this week I can pull a stupid lid off a jar."

Stacie moved closer in again and Beca turned further away, still pulling at the jar. The two made little noises of protest as they tried to gain control of the jar, and then multiple things happened at once.

Chloe came into the kitchen to see what the commotion was about and stood behind Stacie to try and sort the other girls out, the rest of the Bellas ran to the door to open it and greet Aubrey who had just arrived, and Beca gripped the lid of the jar with the fingers showing out of her cast, and yanked it off into the air.

Stacie, with what she would put down to as her magnificent flexibility, ducked Beca's casted arm flying through the air but unfortunately Chloe, oblivious to what was occurring in front of Stacie, did not. Beca's cast connected with the side of Chloe's head, and sent the redhead into a daze, as she faltered back into the kitchen bench, holding her head.

"Fuck!" Beca yelled, as she yanked her arm back and immediately rushed over to Chloe, trying to get a better look at her. "Chloe, babe, are you ok? I'm so sorry, that was not supposed to happen."

Stacie stood up properly and winced as she remembered the sound the impact of Beca's casted arm and Chloe's head made. "Oh no, this is not good."

"Why did you duck you ass?!" Beca said as she turned her head to Stacie. "Now look what's happened."

Chloe held a hand up to her head to stop the pounding and closed her eyes, away from the light.

Stacie crossed her arms. "Don't go blaming this on me, if you had just listened to me in the first place you wouldn't have been so stubborn about the jar and then none of this would have happened."

"Well I'm not sure what kind of welcome this is, but Stace isn't it usually me that is getting riled up by Beca?" Aubrey stated, as she stood at the entrance way to the kitchen.

Stacie, momentarily forgetting the situation in front of her squealed in delight and ran over to Aubrey, giving her a proper welcome.

While this was occurring, Beca turned her focus to Chloe, taking her face gently in her hands. "Baby talk to me, what's hurting? Fuck Chlo I'm so sorry."

Chloe kept her eyes shut, and shook her head slowly. "It's ok Beca. My head is really sore though. Can I sit down?"

Beca nodded frantically, putting her good arm around Chloe's waist and letting one of Chloe's arms fall around her shoulder, to balance herself. When Chloe barely made it a few steps without having to lean entirely on Beca, Aubrey finally pulled away from Stacie to look at her best friend.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa what is going on here?" Aubrey asked, pulling Stacie behind her as she followed Beca who deposited Chloe gently on a kitchen chair.

"You just missed it, Beca socked Chloe in the face with her cast." Stacie said, only to be shot a glare by Beca.

Beca crouched down by Chloe in the chair, resting her cast on Chloe's knee and moving her good hand up and down the redhead's arm. Aubrey pulled a chair next to Chloe's one and looked her friend over.

"Hi Chloe, how are you going?" She said, softly.

Chloe looked at her and smiled, happy to see her friend. "Hi Bree. I feel like I'm in a bit of a daze."

"I think you've got yourself a bit of a concussion."

"Oh." Chloe frowned, and looked down at Beca. "Concussed?"

Beca agreed with Aubrey. "I think she's right babe. We need to get you checked out."

"The hospital?" Stacie asked.

Aubrey nodded, still holding her hand. "Better safe than sorry for head injuries."

"It's week 6 Bec, maybe they can take the cast off a few days early!" Chloe said gently to Beca, who was still crouched in front of her.

Beca smiled warmly – of course Chloe would still be thinking of everyone else in this situation. "Maybe. But first we need to get your little head checked. Are you down with that?"

"Yeah. I'd love some pain killers right now."

Beca laughed. "I bet. That was a pretty hard knock you took. I'm really sorry."

"I know, and you shouldn't worry about it. I'm fine baby, honestly." Chloe said, looking into Beca's eyes to make sure she believed her. "Besides, you know what the doctor will definitely order? An entire weekend for us in bed. Now how does that sound."

Beca smiled, squeezing Chloe's hand. "Almost perfect babe, but I also think the doctor might order that anyone in the vicinity take extra care of us, as we do have injuries."

Stacie and Aubrey shook their heads at Beca, although they had smiles playing on their lips.

"That doctor sounds like an idiot." Stacie said.

Chloe grinned. "Hmmm…no, that Doctor just sounds right."

Aubrey then clapped her hands and put on her old Bellas captain voice which still had the effect on Beca and Stacie of snapping them immediately into place. "Alright let's get a move on then. Stace can you go and tell the others what happened?"

"Yeah and don't exaggerate the story!" Beca called out, but inside she knew Stacie would pay no attention to that and was proved right when she heard Stacie say, "Beca hit Chloe in the face now she's going to the hospital!"

Multiple sounds arose from the lounge, most consisting of confused statements of "She what?" Back in the kitchen, Beca rolled her eyes and looked at Aubrey.

"You're dating an actual child."

"Mitchell you are the last person who should be giving out lectures on maturity." Aubrey replied, as she stood up. "I'll go and sort it out. Let's leave in 5?"

Beca nodded, smiling at her gratefully. She then moved to the chair Aubrey had just left and pulled Chloe close to her. "You going ok Chlo?"

"Yeah I am."

"I'm really sorry."

"I know, and it's ok."

Beca smiled and brought Chloe's face up to meet hers. She placed a few kisses on her lips and stared into her eyes. "If you start to feel sleepy you have to let me know ok? Can't have you dozing off. Just keep those beautiful eyes on me…Shouldn't be too hard for you." She grinned at that last part. "We're going to go in there, get you checked over, hopefully get my cast off, and then all weekend long you are all mine for bed rest and whatever else you need."

Chloe hummed in contentment at those words and leaned her head into Beca's, closing her eyes.

"Okay, let's get going before this concussion sends you into dream land. Come on baby blue." Beca said as she stood up and held her hand out for Chloe, looking deeply into her eyes.

"Whatever you say, Mohammed Ali."

Hope you all liked it! I really wanted to do a follow up of Beca in her cast because it just provided too many great opportunities of fun Beca and Stacie quips, and cute Bechole moments! Keep on reviewing and telling me what you liked or what else you'd like to see so I can hopefully put it in the next ones! I've still got a few more ideas lined up. I appreciate you guys so much, thank you for taking the time to read and review, can't wait to hear from you all!
