Thanks everyone for the reviews. Wish they came more often! So, about this chapter, is pretty intense actually, and emotional too, but I hope you'd like it.

Now, if you'll read me, I'd like to say something after all the violence that our world has been suffering during it's whole existence, but more specially these days. The way I see it, our world is like a person that is sick. This person starts having symptoms in it's ass, which would be all the wars, hunger, poberty, violente, injustice, and violence in Africa and so many other places of the world we consider less advanced than us. But because it's the butt, nobody really sees that this person is sick, nobody worries about it's butt, or anything. But after some time, this person starts having symptoms on its face, eyes, nose... this ones could be NYC, Washington DC, Paris, and so many other places of the world that we consider more advanced, and this time, in the second something happens in this face, even if it's not as bad as what's happening in this person's butt, everyone pays attention to it, everyone worries, everyone want to fix this face. But friends, the way I see it and that I strongly believe is the best way to see it, if you were this sick person, you wouldn't go to the doctor and expect the doctor to cure only your face, to center his or hers attention on your face, you and your doctor would be thinking that those are symptoms for an illness that is in your whole body, and you would attack the center of this illness, correct the whole illness, not one symptom, any symptom would be more priviledged because it's more visible or anything.

Now move this to our world. France got sick, yeah, but we can't center on France and be all like oh, poor France, let's put French flags, let's help French... and then forget about all the war in Syria, and Africa in general, forget about all these people that need us so desperately, and need our help, and love, and compassion, we can't think they are less important. Why nobody held a minute of silence for them? why people help French but close their doors to refugees, blacks, muslims, and others, and hate them for coming looking for help after our countries caused their wars? why tumblr, facebook... why any of them gave the possibility of putting the other flags on their symbols and profiles? why anybody seems to care about them? The world is sick. The world is sick with violence, hate, and this only causes more violence and hate and nobody is caring about it, they are caring about some symptoms of it, but not looking for the root of the problem. The root isn't ISIS. Or muslims. We can't go against a whole religion, society, nationality, color... we go against certain horrible people that make violence. That's how we get revenge, not by hurting innocents and whole countries. We can't be hating so much, we can't solve violence with violence... what France did caused more than two hundred deaths of innocents. That's unforgivable. So it is that America caused so many deaths in Afganistan and other places in Africa just for money, and so many other countries did the same too, and nobody told them anything. "Civilized" countries destroyed countries for money, and now the refugees from those countries ask for our help and we deny it, what kind of person does that? we are becoming monsters everytime we hate a person that did nothing wrong.

No more violence. No more hate. That's all I ask from this world. We all want to be safe, that's why our politicians offer that so we choose them, but them, they gain a lot of money from the weapons bussiness, and as long as they do this, and sell guns to countries that only want violence, they would be lying if they said they want peace like they do. They want war because war gives them money. And we need to want peace.


Chapter 9: This can't be normal.

"How can this be happening?" Chloe carried a very quickly packed suitcase through Norfolk airport "She wasn't due yet. She isn't even thirty five weeks yet, I believe."

"I guess because they're twins, maybe?" Beca said as they confronted the cold and dark landing field, now almost three in the morning, following a very tired and moody airport worker towards a jet she had managed to reserve an hour and a half ago and has cost her a fortune "We are the godmothers, I know, but I'm still so angry they decided to kick Aubrey's ass right now."

"They'll take like twelve hours or so to come out, we could've go in the morning and still will have plenty of time so as not to miss the birth" a very tired Chloe said stroking her eyes. They both were carrying one suitcase each, and Chloe also carried little Billie-Jean in her pet carrier. The puppy was really freaked out and barking, and Chloe and Beca, who had barely slept two hours in 21h, looked pale, tired, with blood-shot eyes, no makeup, and messy buns.

"You're right" Beca moaned tiredly trying to resist the urge to close her eyes has they saw the jet's lights.

"No... They must be scared and freaked out, and we are their bestest friends, and the children's godmothers, they need us, it's our duty. If they are awake and suffering..."

"...We are awake and suffering" Beca finished the sentence and Chloe nodded.

Two hours later they were leaving their things at Jesse's and Aubrey's guest bedroom, having entered the apartment with a spare key the couple had given them very long ago. The apartment was messy, showing that they had left really quickly, and Bella was moody cuddled into her owners' messy bed. They closed their bedroom leaving Billie sleeping in their bed, and put her stuff aside so the puppy could reach them. As they didn't think Bella would like another pet around, they decided to keep her in the closed room, at the end, the puppy was too small and young to want to explore much more. They'll come back every half an hour to check on them, and that was it. Chloe made coffee while Beca called Jesse.

"We're at your apartment" Beca was saying and started writing down the hospital, floor and room "Okay, do you need everything from here? Okay, yeah, we can do it. We'll be there in an hour, I guess. Keep calm guys, we love you!" she hung up and looked at Chloe "Jesse says Aubrey's been in pain and contractions for hours, and that the doctors said she seems to be on an early labor and got her a bed and a room, they gave her painkillers and put her to sleep for a couple hours ago to have energy for the big moment, they're motorizing everything and making sure everything's alright. Thanks" she accepted a mug of coffee as they both sat at the kitchen island "He says they said it could take at least ten hours from the labor to actually begin, so they are trying to sleep a bit until the contractions get stronger and all that. They said the babies seem fine, just that they already grew too much and need to come out. Jesse said we could sleep a bit but that when we go, they need us to make a bag with some baby stuff and clothes for them, because they thought they had still a week or two more."

Chloe nodded slowly and groaned stroking her eyes.

"Why are we drinking coffee, then?"

"Because you were making it, and we probably are too worried to fall asleep anyway, so I told Jesse we'd be there in an hour to make him company and stay awake so he could sleep a while and we could watch Aubrey in the meantime."

"Good call then" Chloe approved "god, poor Aubrey, she must be so freaked out.. At least she's sleeping now. Let's hurry up, okay? I need to see them."

Chloe was the first to enter the room, and Beca followed.

"Hey" Jesse was sitting in the side of Aubrey's bed, with one of her hands between his, dressed in his pajamas, with a sweater on and worry and tiredness written all over his face. He stood up and hugged Chloe briefly, and then the ginger went to sit on the other side of Aubrey's bed, caressing her face lovingly before wrapping her hands cautiously around her other hand. The blonde was sleeping with a slight frown, dressed in hospital's clothes, pale and with some IV's and other cables, and a heart monitor.

"How are you?" Beca hugged Jesse and immediately the boy started crying, and she awkwardly tried to soothe him, awkwardly because of the high difference only "Sh... it's okay, everything will be alright, you'll see..." after a few minutes he pulled back cleaning his face with his sleeve.

"I'm sorry, I'm just overly worried and tired... she was in so much pain, but the doctors made a sonogram, and tests, and everything seems fine, just that her water broke" he said sniffling.

"Don't worry so much buddy, they'll be fine" Beca pulled a tired smile for him and as he went back to his previous spot beside Aubrey with a hand on hers and another making soothing circles in her belly, Beca sat in a hospital's armchair beside him.

They sat there for a bit more than two hours, they had all fallen asleep, when they were waked up by Jesse and a doctor talking, a doctor who had previously awaken the father-to-be. Beca and Chloe looked at each other in confusion and then at Jesse, who was on his feet looking very serious. Then, he turned back to them after speaking with the doctor, who stood there.

"Another sonogram has been made, and it appears one of the babies could end up in danger if we wait more, so they are going to induce the labor" Jesse said very seriously, and Beca for a second didn't react. Chloe was faster than anybody and was palming Aubrey's face softly but with energy.

"Sweetie, sweetie, you gotta wake up right now" she demanded "Aubrey, up!" the blonde's eyes shot open and before she could do anything, she was groaning in pain.

"Baby, they need to induce the labor right now, one of the babies needs to come out as soon as possible" Jesse said.

Other doctors and nurses were coming in and soon, they had everything ready. Chloe and Jesse were doing their best to take care of Aubrey and keep her calm but determined, and Beca stood closely, giving the blonde encouraging looks as she screamed and pushed with forces Beca didn't know where they came from. Soon, they told Jesse to cut an umbilical cord and they heard a loud baby cry.

"It's a boy!" the couple had decided to keep it as a mystery the whole pregnancy, and now Jesse was holding the tiniest bundle of noise and blood Beca had never seen.

"He needs to go to the NICU" a doctor was saying.

"Jesse, don't leave our son for anything in the world, do you hear me!" Aubrey demanded "I'll talk to you later about how the other was born!"

"Okay, I'm going with him. Girls!"

"We got her, go!" Chloe confirmed to calm her. Beca noticed then that Aubrey had her hand tightly held, with white knuckles from the strength, and hurried up to held the blonde's hand that Jesse had left, instantly feeling how hard Aubrey's grip really was "Come on sweetheart, you can do this, just one baby more" Chloe encouraged the blonde when they told to push again kissing her temple with her free hand on her back, stroking it. Beca saw then that both girls had tears streaming down their cheeks and Beca decided it was time to really help.

"Yeah Aubrey, remember how angry I made you when I first got into the Bellas" Beca said and Aubrey half laughed as she gave another hard push.

"Stop!" the doctor demanded "stop! Something's wrong."

"Is my baby okay?" Aubrey asked panicking.

"She has the umbilical cord too close to her neck. If you push, you could strangle her, so we are going to perform a C-Section." Aubrey nodded and the doctors started preparing everything.

"I'm having a girl too" Aubrey muttered.

"Bellas and Trebles make Bellas and Trebles, uh?" Chloe joked and Aubrey looked at her.

"You take her, when she's born, you take her. I'll be alright."

"You sure? Beca can do it if you need me here."

"I'm sure. Keep my man calm and keep my baby safe, and I'll be able to hold them soon. If it can't be me or her father, then, it has to be you." Aubrey said and Beca smiled "And you, don't fucking leave me, Mitchell, because I'm scared as hell."

"I won't" Beca swore nodding dead-serious.

They put Aubrey to sleep soon, and not much later, there was a baby girl on Chloe's arms as the ginger smiled widely at her. They also had to go to the NICU, so Beca kept her promise and kept holding Aubrey's hand as they closed her up, got her all safe despite the great blood loss, and moved her into a better bedroom. And then, she felt asleep on Aubrey's arm and was awaken by kisses to see a smiling Chloe.

"Hi" Chloe grinned widely.

"What are you doing here? Where all the kids? How are they?"

"Sh... we're all here safe and happy" Chloe said "The sun's up, and they thought the children were fine, very small but strong and healthy despite everything, and let us come here just about now."

Beca smiled and then looked around. Jesse was sitting on Aubrey's side of the bed, with a tiny baby with a pink blanket in his arms, and Aubrey, who seemed like she just woke up, was crying into another baby with a blue blanket.

"Wow, they're really small" Beca said smiling looking at them with all the attention. The boy had a funny nose, like very round, and the girl had the cutest little lips. Beca's eyes instantly filled with happy tears, and also sad ones thinking how Jackie was just like that in her arms. Jesse handed the girl to Aubrey so the new momma could have both her children for a while, and smiled looking at his new family.

"They're both so amazingly perfect" Aubrey whispered.

"They are" Jesse said.

"So, are they John and Jane Doe-Swanson, or what?" Beca joked.

"Well, this little guy here is Daniel Marcus Swanson, Marcus for my father" Aubrey explained, and Beca smiled because she had suggested Daniel long ago when they sat at her mother's living thinking names.

"And with this little one, we were rooting for Anna Sophie, but then we thought you'll want your mother's name for your own" Jesse said looking at Beca, who smiled through the tears, and he smiled "So we decided, Anna Margaret Swanson, after Chloe and after Aubrey's mother. My parents will be blessed enough with the kids being Swanson." Jesse explained, and Chloe smiled.

"Well, then welcome to the world, Daniel and Anna Swanson" Chloe said with the sweetest of voices and a tiny smile "We hope it'll be good with you two, but we'll be around anyway."

"Okay, I'm gonna call work and say my best friend lost his parents and I'm staying with him for a week" Beca said "just to help you out."

"And I'll call and say my sister really needs my help with her newborn and I'm going to Tampa for a week" Chloe said, and after all, she did have a real sister that just gave birth not too long ago.

"Then I guess I should call the new grandparents" Jesse added.

"And the Bellas" Aubrey added smiling "better make a chat group and just say the aca-children Anna and Daniel Swanson arrived the world around eight or so on April 7th, as early-rising as their mother."

"And add that somehow you not only got to make twins, but also got them to have very dark hair, god knows how" Beca joked and they laughed.

A couple days later, they were back at the apartment. They had set simple rules so Jesse and Aubrey could both get decent sleep time, that consisted in that if one baby cried, one parent got up, and the next time, it was the other parent's turn, then a godmother, then the other, and Aubrey was only waken up out of her turn when it was time to breastfeed a baby. Soon, they discovered both babies seemed to agree in almost everything, including crying at the same time, which resulted in a parent and a godmother up -at least one of the parents needed to be sleeping, never two up at the same time- at the same time, but it was okay. Jesse and Aubrey were only scared of what would happen when the godmothers left, but some of the Bellas had already come around a couple times and they had offered to help countless times already, and the Posens were around often, and Jesse's family would come the next week to stay a few days. One time early in the morning, Beca went to the living room to find Aubrey curled in an armchair in front of one of their big windows watching the sunrise as she sang softly to little Daniel. Jesse and Chloe had had to wake up like an hour ago, so they were fast asleep.

"Good morning" Beca said with a tiny smile that was quickly corresponded.

"Good morning" Aubrey said softly.

"Hey little one" Beca passed a finger through one of Daniel's cheeks "he fell asleep again."

"Yeah, I just got up and saw he was a little fuzzy, so I took him up with me before he could wake anybody up." Beca nodding stroking her back tenderly as she stroke her eyes with the other hand and looked through the window. Aubrey just looked at her with a tiny surprised smile, Daniel was resting on her arms with his head and a small fist on her shoulder.

"Pretty views you've got" Beca whispered. There was Central Park, and then some buildings and skyscrapers, and the sun rising.

"Yeah" Aubrey nodded. Beca looked at them for a while. Aubrey was kissing a head that was not bigger than Beca's fist and was covered in a small amount of very dark hair. The baby had a body Beca and Chloe had bought as a present that had green and blue horizontal lines and a D painted in the chest with a tiny bear that seemed to be holding the letter in its hand, he also had white little socks, and white little gloves, and his ass seemed bigger because of the diaper, even thought it was the smallest size they found.

The mother had a messy bum, bags under her eyes, and was in her pajamas looking tired, but happy above it all.

"He reminds me of Jack, but smaller" Beca whispered looking at the baby and Aubrey looked up at her.

"Yeah, I guess they are a little bit similar" Aubrey agreed "how you're doing with that, by the way? The missing family feeling and that." Beca shrugged.

"Therapy helps, but so far I think the only thing that truly works is music. You know, when your mind starts having a mind of its own, turn music on, work, and put the thoughts to rest" Beca replied "It still hurts, but I don't imagine a day when it won't."

"That's normal, they are family after all" Aubrey said "and now that I have children of my own, I can't even conceive the image of any of them getting even slightly hurt. I was scared shit when my water broke, or when they took them to the NICU."

"I think if you can manage with always keeping an eye of them without being an stalker and invading their privacy or being a neurotic mom, you'll be alright" Beca smiled and they heard a yawn so they turned around to find Chloe walking in like a lion, with her messy curly red hair free, tired face, and Anna in her arms.

"Good morning" Chloe said dragging her feet. Beca and Aubrey had moved to sit on the couch, so Chloe joined giving Beca a peck.

"Was Anna crying? I didn't hear a thing" Aubrey said.

"No, I just woke up and went to see how things were going and apparently daddy had picked her daughter to sleep on him for a bit, so I thought we could just come see how bro and momma were doing" Chloe explained, the sleeping baby on her chest "by the way, I think by now both of them had tried to be breastfeed from me at least a couple times each."

"Yeah, it happened to me too" Beca said with a tiny smile and Aubrey laughed softly.

"You think they recognize each other from the womb?" Beca asked "like they see each other in the crib and they go like oh, so those feet in my ass were yours, uh?" they laughed a bit.

"I'm sure they at least feel like they've seen each other before" Aubrey replied.

"So that's where my little girl went, I thought she fell or something" Jesse came in grinning.

"Sorry, I thought you'll sleep better without having her over your lungs" Chloe smiled and Jesse leaned to kiss both babies' heads.

"No problem" Jesse smiled "How's the most beautiful momma ever?" Jesse kissed Aubrey, who smiled.

"Pretty good despite the lack of sleep."

"Great. You guys haven't done breakfast yet?" Jesse went to do it himself "oh and honey, my parents will come Monday right in time for lunch. You guys won't leave without seeing them before, right?" he asked looking at the other couple "they would love to see you."

"The plane leaves at seven, so we'll be here" Chloe replied.

"Perfect, and Beca please call my mother from time to time, she doesn't have your house number and you know she loves you."

"Okay" Beca nodded and when Jesse left to the kitchen, she muttered "with the Swansons, you can't stop being the girlfriend without still having to call the parents regularly." She joked.

"They're such a nice couple" Aubrey smiled "so warm and loving."

"They are" Beca agreed. She had met them long ago and had been with the Swanson family for some festivities along the years, and she got surprisingly along with them. Surprising because she wasn't the kind of person who was good with partner's parents.

"I never met them" Chloe commented.

"I met them for Christmas like a couple years after Jesse and I started dating. We saw them for a week every summer and once of Thanksgiving too" Beca explained "They are, you know, like Jesse really. Kind, caring, you know." Chloe nodded with a tiny smile.

"I'm gonna give you Anna and go see how's Billie" Chloe said passing the baby to her carefully. She got up and Bella, the cat sitting close by that tended to be always close to the children, stared at her attentively until the ginger got into the corridor.

By next morning, Beca and Chloe had packed their suitcases, cleaned their bedroom, seen how hard it was to walk the dog around those NYC streets, and changed more diapers than they could count. They were now making lunch as Aubrey and Jesse laid with their children in the living room, on some soft rug that seemed like a giant soft puzzle with the alphabet on them, that Jesse and Beca had entertained themselves assembling some days ago so they could leave the babies there with some pillows and blankets while they did other things and still keep an eye on them. Now the parents spent hours laying there with the babies making them noises and watching how they crossed their eyes, winked, made noises, and tried to figure out what the hell was going on. Also, because the surface was pretty wide, the children could lay together and get used to growing up with the other in their ass. Billie and Bella, who surprisingly seemed to be getting more or less along, were lying on their bellies in the ground in the living room, looking at the babies full of curiosity, and the adults had long ago realized that they were actually very protective with them. Like one time Anna was crying in her crib, and the cat was right next to the crib looking at the baby and then Beca had came running to see what was wrong and the cat had threw herself against the brunette's feet.

Jesse went to pick up his parents at the airport and Aubrey and Beca got the table ready for lunch, the babies' diapers changed. A couple hours later the six of them were sitting still in the table talking and laughing, the grandparents had the babies on their arms, and they had heard every detail of everything that had happened since Aubrey's water broke to that current moment.

"They really are very beautiful children" grandpa Neil said looking at his granddaughter in his arms "but I must say, I expected them to be blond."

"Me too" Jesse nodded "I still believe they'll end up blond at some point."

"I don't care how they are, they will always be the most perfect things ever" Aubrey said.

"Well Jess, I must say" Beca bit her lip amused "She's one of those a cappella girls, you're one of those a cappella boys, and you had aca-children. It really was inevitable after all" she half quoted what he told her around six or seven years ago, and they both laughed.

"I'm a prophet" Jesse joked.

"Why? Did you predict this?" Aubrey asked.

"Oh, sort of, when Becs and I were freshmen, and we were at the riff-off, I sort of went to Beca and told her you're one of those a cappella girls, I'm one of those a cappella boys, and we are gonna have aca-children, it's inevitable." Jesse said.

"So I was half quoting that because now it seems kind of funny that still the universe managed to make that somehow real, even if it was with another a cappella girl. It's like he somehow did predict it" Beca explained, and Jesse's parents nodded and smiled in understatement.

"It is kind of magical" Julie Swanson nodded.

"Man Jess, did you really expect to get the girl with that sentence?" Chloe was laughing "if I were her, I would've slapped you!" Jesse laughed too.

"Then lucky me she didn't." Jesse said "Such a shame that it took me so much effort to get the girl to end up being the one who broke up at the end. You should've had broke up with me."

"I should" Beca nodded following his kidding tone "I guess partners make me weak. You first, and now I can even say no to a puppy with those big blue eyes her momma gives me" she joked pointing at Chloe, who laughed.

"Becs, could you come for a sec?" Aubrey said standing up with a polite smile Beca knew too well, and tensed up nodding at the blonde and following her towards the main bedroom.

"What's going on?" Beca asked nervous as Aubrey closed the room.

"That's what I was wondering."

"I don't understand."

"Me neither."

"Aubrey" Beca got impatient "what do you want?"

"Do you still have feelings for Jesse?" Aubrey asked, her arms crossed above her chest, and Beca's mouth opened slightly, surprised, before starting to laugh.

"Are you kidding me? Aubrey, Jesse's my best male friend, he's like my brother, for god's sakes, of course I've got feeling for him."

"The real question is, are you in love with him?"

"No, Aubrey, I'm in love with Chloe in case you didn't notice." Beca said starting to get a bit angry.

"But those comments with Jesse... it seems you enjoy seeming his girlfriend."

"Well, that's ridiculous."

Aubrey looked as if she was having an intense argument with herself, and sat in the bed. Beca looked at the ceiling exasperated.

"But his parents seem to really love you, and you two sometimes talk like if you missed dating, like if it was a shame you're not together anymore, and you have all those jokes only the two of you know, and that complicity and everything. And Jesse still acts like he's just talking about a good friend, but you act like if he was yours." The blonde said looking at her feet, and Beca looked at her for a moment in disbelief.

"Aubrey, his parents and I have known each other for a long time and we like each other a lot but that means nothing, and they certainly love you" Beca affirmed "And I'm lesbian, I love Jesse but not like I love Chloe, and I surely don't act like nothing." She continued "It's not about how much you love someone, Aubrey... is about the way you love them. You'd say I love Chloe more than you do? You'd say Jesse's parents love him more than you do? That Jesse loves your kids more than you do? No. Many times, it's just the same quantity or very close ones, but the way it's what changes, the memories, everything. I can't tell you he doesn't love me as much as he loves you, but I can tell you he doesn't love me the way he loves you."

"I know, but still, I think you wish he had never come and be with me, but stayed and figured out how to fix things with you, and that in front of me and his parents you want to still be the girl..."

"He's in love with you. I'm in love with Chloe. You are imagining things, and none of what you say it's even close to the reality."

They sat for a while in silence, not touching each other, just tense, until Aubrey spoke up again.

"Are you jealous of my friendship with Chloe?"

"I used to. Not anymore."

"Why?"

"Because I love how she looks when you're around, how she touches you sometimes when you talk, how she cares. I saw her when you were in the hospital, and I was happy you two had each other. And I see how she is with me... and I couldn't ask for more. I love she has someone I can trust to keep her safe and loved. Someone to go to when I fail her."

"You understand that for me it's not as easy to be in love with the idea of Jesse going to you if we fight, right? Because you two had sex together. You two have any problem watching each other naked, like the other day when Jesse was showering and you needed to go into the bathroom, and you went even after I told you he was having a shower. You two have no boundaries, and you love showing that you two were something and you love considering you have all the right to be with him like a girlfriend."

"The no boundaries thing happens with Chloe and you too... And I absolutely am not like that!"

"Beca, I never had feelings for Chloe, or sex, and Chloe has no boundaries with anybody." Aubrey snapped.

"Why don't you just tell me what do you want me to do? Knock myself until I forget each memory with Jesse and can't be as close anymore?"

"I just want you to act like a normal best friend..."

"I do! And Aubrey, in case you forgot, not only I'm taken, I'm lesbian!"

"Could you at least conceal?"

"Conceal what?!"

"Conceal that you two had much more! Conceal yourself and not go around him like if you slept together!"

"Aubrey this conversation makes no sense, I don't go around him like anything in particular, and I did sleep with him, and you can't erase the past, and if you don't trust him, then tell him. You're fucking jealous, and he's the one that should be dealing with you right now."

They both stood up, angry and looking at each other intently.

"The only thing I ask you to do is act like you two have boundaries."

"The fact that they are very softly marked doesn't mean they aren't there. This is ridiculous, Aubrey, I don't ask you to act like you are less close to Chloe..."

"But I am, because you two make me feel out of place, like you're still dating and I'm just the woman he had children with..."

"You know what?" Beca snapped "whatever, Aubrey. Those are your feelings, and I feel sorry for you, but he almost died, I almost died, and I care too much about him to fake and pretend I don't feel like being very close to him just because his girlfriend is hormonal and has weird feelings. You, that have the man, are jealous of the friendship!"

"I'm not jealous of your friendship! I'm mad because you seem to enjoy acting like if you two were dating or like I had stolen you a precious future with him!"

"And I'm telling you, I don't feel like that! I don't love him, I don't want to date him, I don't want to overstep my friendship with him!"

"For god sakes Beca, what you said earlier with him there it was practically like saying yeah Aubrey, you stole him, this should be happening with me!"

"Aubrey, you are hormonal, those things... look, that's not... I don't... I don't. Okay? That's it, you did nothing, he left on his own, and I messed us up, and I'm the happiest girl alive with Chloe, and he's the happiest I've seen him with you, and his parents love you, okay? You don't see because you are hormonal."

"Yeah Becs, so there's nothing in your head for Jesse, just like it was nothing going on between Chloe and you in Barden and still Jesse had to put up with the relationship you two had like if he was the third wheel then, and you were in love with her!"

"Don't go there Aubrey, I loved him! I had weird feelings for Chlo but that doesn't mean I wasn't in love with him or that he didn't..."

"Girls?" Chloe pecked her head opening the door just a bit "The babies are sleeping, and I told Jesse to take his parents to the park with the babies."

She entered the room and closed the door behind her. Beca and Aubrey were standing close to each other facing each other and looking exasperated and annoyed.

"What is happening here, exactly?" Chloe asked with her sweet voice.

"Your best friend thinks I enjoy acting around like if I was more important for Jesse than her, and like I dismiss her." Beca explained very calmed and Aubrey and Chloe both looked at each other and nodded slowly. Beca sat back on the bed.

"You could just admit that you sometimes act like if you were his special girl and I was nobody, and if you do it by accident and just don't realize it's okay, just control yourself a little." Aubrey said in a softer and kinder tone.

"I won't admit something is not the truth. The truth is, however, your hormones are making you act crazy jealous, and see things were there's nothing to see. Admit it." Beca said and looked at Chloe "I'm sorry Chlo, are you gonna stay and watch or...?

"Apologize to each other. Now" Chloe demanded and the other two girls looked in disbelief "you two are worst than my nine year old students. Aubrey, apologize because insinuating that Beca does that is like insinuating she is someone she isn't, an egocentric asshole who isn't in love with me, and that's simply ridiculous, and honey, it's probably because of the motherhood crazy body and it'll pass and you'll regret it. And Beca, apologize because if a woman tells you she thinks you're crossing a line with her man in her own house and you should step back, you apologize, shut up, and save us all half an hour of an argument that you perfectly knew came from a bunch of hormones out of control. I'm not taking sides, you're both assholes that just now went into a childish argument interrupting a family lunch, and we've got a plane to catch, and I'm pretty disappointed with both of you, so apologize, now."

They stared at each other in silence for a long time, Chloe giving them time from it to come from them, not that much obligated. Beca bit her lip hard, getting her hand on her pockets because she was tightening her fists and her knuckles would get white, and Aubrey looked at her feet uncomfortable. And Beca thought she was going back to her childhood and teenage years as the misunderstood girl that had to receive a punishment by teachers and parents for defending when someone went against her. But she was also in love with Chloe and she knew she was about to gulp everything like she swore she wouldn't do ever again.

"I'm so sorry, Beca" Aubrey said at the end sitting beside her and looking pretty honest "I don't know what came over me, I guess you're both right and my hormones are taking the best of me. I'm sorry, Jesse and you are best friends and I know you feel nothing else, and that you love Chloe... I'm sorry, it won't happen again." Chloe smiled proudly "You don't have to apologize for anything, I crossed the line."

"You're right, I shouldn't apologize, like nobody apologizes for punching a person that tries to attack them" Beca whispered and breathed deeply.

"Beca, Aubrey let herself go like a person in her period, but you were in your perfect mind and as an adult you should've known better than to put up a fight." Chloe said kindly.

"Then what should I have done, Chlo?" Beca asked looking up to her "Saying sorry for doing nothing wrong, and go back to lunch like nothing happened?"

"Yeah, Aubrey would've shut up, and then you could've come to me, and I would've talked to her calmly, and she would've apologized."

"Well, it doesn't work like that, Chloe" Beca said "Doing that is like if a crazy person tries to kill you and you don't defend yourself or let her emotionally hurt you because poor person is crazy and didn't mean to. What Aubrey did, now perfectly forgiven, hurt, and if I had done that and gulped my own hurt and anger, then, I wouldn't have come to you or back to lunch, I would've taken a long walk until I calmed down by myself, and everybody would be happy except me, because I would've come and pretend nothing happened as I wanted to yell at Aubrey internally."

"Then, I guess I thought you were another kind of person." Chloe replied and Beca looked at her intently for a long time.

"I guess we are both disappointed with each other now, then, because I thought after all these years, and after living together and date each other for months, you'd know better." Beca said calmly.

"Girls, don't do this, okay? It's my fault, you shouldn't be arguing" Aubrey said trying to calm things down.

"Aubrey, I'm sorry for putting up with your nonsense" Beca said suddenly "And Chloe, I'm sorry for being an asshole and having disappointed you. Now if you would excuse me, I think the least I can do is do the dishes."

Beca got up and very calmly left.
