A/N: To the guest who requested a sequel to The Perfect Storm, please know that I do intend to write this eventually but I need to figure out the rest of Chloe's kiss list first. Suggestions would be helpful!

Summary: Chloe is pleasantly surprised when Stacie returns home with her cousin's baby and Beca is the only one who can get her to stop crying.


It wasn't that Chloe had expected Beca to be bad with babies. She just kinda assumed that the younger woman wouldn't even care to hold one, or go near one for that matter.

See, Beca wasn't like the rest of the Bellas when it came to kids.

If she was out in public and walked past a kids park, she wouldn't stop to revel in how cute the kids were for playing together like Emily did. If she was out shopping, she wouldn't de-tour through the baby section just to ogle the tiny clothes like Stacie did. Or if she saw a baby on tv, she wouldn't Awwh at the screen like Jessica and Ashley did. She was just sort of blank, emotionless. As though her feelings towards kids were indifferent.

But Chloe wasn't supposed to be thinking about Beca and babies yet because technically she hadn't even confessed her feelings for her at this point. That was just a technicality though, right? She was allowed to dream and fantasise and wonder if Beca even wanted kids because she was in love with her and they were meant to be together, right?


It was 7pm on a Saturday when Stacie entered the Bellas house with the baby in her carrier.

As it turned out, Stacie's older cousin lived just over an our away from the Bellas house and had a six month old baby called Scarlett with her husband. When Stacie found out that the couple hadn't had a date night since the early stages of the pregnancy, she persuaded them to let her have the baby for a few hours so they could go out and enjoy each other's company.

Upon greeting the five other Bellas that were in the house, Stacie promptly explained the situation with her cousin and introduced the baby. While Fat Amy, Flo, Chloe and Emily were all more than enthusiastic about the idea of helping Stacie take care of baby Scarlett for the evening, Beca remained unfazed as she continued to work on a new set list on her laptop.

But within minutes of taking Scarlett out of her carrier, the house was filled with five very panicked Bellas and one screaming baby as well as one Beca who was thankful that she had headphones to drown out most of the noise being made around her.

The other girls were gathered in the lounge in front of the couch that Beca was sitting on and the brunette couldn't help but watch as they all tried desperately hard to get the baby to calm down for what must have been a solid 25-30 minutes.

She noticed the way they passed Scarlett between one another every minute or so, with each of them making a feeble attempt to stop her from crying. Fat Amy tried pulling funny faces and Stacie tried making silly noises while Chloe even tried rocking and bouncing up and down, all the while the rest of the women were talking in the background about ways to get her to be quiet but every attempt failed miserably.

At some point in the midst of all the chaos, Chloe excused herself to take a phone call and Beca looked up once more, noticing that the rest of the women still had no clue how to make the baby stop crying. By this time they had tried everything they could possibly think of, including feeding her and putting her back in the carrier, but nothing seemed to be working and Beca knew exactly why.

So from her place on the couch, Beca stood up and abruptly shouted over the rest of the women, ordering them to shut up, to which they quickly complied. She then took a few steps over to Fat Amy, gently took Scarlett from her arms and walked back to sit in her spot on the couch. Following this, the brunette held the baby close to her own body and began whisper "Shhh" in the most soothing and calming tone possible.

Within a matter of seconds, the room was completely silent as the baby had stopped crying in Beca's arms. The brunette knew that all the passing around and loud noises were too much for the young girl and all she needed was to be held tight and allowed to fall to sleep.

Then when Chloe's phone call ended a few minutes later, she of course noticed the silence that now occupied the house and saw the other Bellas leaving the lounge (for fear of waking the baby if they started talking again).

When the redhead entered the lounge, she saw Beca still sitting in the same place as before. Only now the laptop was beside her on the couch and she was using one arm to reach over to click on the mousepad while her other arm was carefully placed below what was obviously a very peaceful, sleeping baby.

She saw how natural Beca looked with the baby cradled into her body and one tiny hand placed against her chest as though she had been clinging to her before she fell to sleep. And she saw the look of contentment on Beca's face as she worked on her mix with the baby resting in her embrace.

My God, I want to have so many of your babies. Chloe thought to herself, staring at Beca.

(And Chloe might have just fallen in love with Beca all over again)
