Chapter 10

Two days later Beca took Chloe on their first official date. She took her girl on a picnic to a little secluded spot she had found while out training in the local parks. Chloe loved it and thought it was so romantic when Beca made the field around them fill with blooming wild flowers and soon dozens of beautiful butterflies were flitting among the plants. Chloe couldn't resist walking slowly among the blooms with her arms out laughing as the butterflies flew around her and often landed on her. Beca caught much of the moment on her phone. It was a memory she definitely wanted to keep and thought Chloe would too.

"You are such a little romantic Becs." Chloe leaned over giving into her need to kiss her gallant fiancé as she arrived back at the spot they had picked to eat. Beca had already laid a large quilted blanket down for them with the soft sided cooler bag and her backpack already sitting on it.

"You bring that side of me out Chlo. I'll always do everything I can to make you happy." Beca blushed as she spoke only the truth.

"God you are so sweet. I could just eat you up." The redhead kissed her knight one more time. "Now let's eat before I forget the food and spend the rest of the afternoon kissing you." She pulled back with a chuckle. "We can do that after we eat."

Lunch was a hit as Beca had asked both Chloe's mother and Aubrey what some of her girl's favorite foods were for picnicking.

"Man, I never thought about how handy your elemental powers could be while picnicking and stuff." Chloe said as she helped to pack up their empty containers. "All the cold stuff stayed cold and the warm and hot stuff held temp as well and we didn't need a cooler full of ice or a grill or anything."

"Yeah, I've sort of perfected my food and beverage heating and cooling skills over the years." Beca chuckled. "It comes in handy when I am out far away from prying eyes training and I have to carry any supplies I need on my back. It also gives me better food options than most hikers or backpackers would have." Beca zipped up the bag she had brought the food and stuff in and sat it to the side of the tree and stood offering her hand to her fiancé. "Come with me. I think I might be able to give you an unexpected treat. I sensed them when they arrived not too long ago by the creek just over that rise." Beca pointed to the other side of the small clearing where a creek ran from the pond they had sat beside to eat, the creek disappeared off into the woods as it cut through the rise.

Chloe took the offered hand curious to see what Beca was going to show her.

The small girl slowed their movements as they made their way over the rise and down a gentle slope. There was a small pool of water at the bottom of a small waterfall where the creek ran over the small hill to fall and continue on off into the woods. Standing there drinking from the pool was a mama deer and her two little baby deer still with spots on their backs and sides. The scene looked like something straight from a nature movie.

Putting her finger to her lips Beca indicated that they had to stay quiet. The Knight slowly eased them down the slope and along the edge of the water until they could sit on a boulder by the pool.

The redhead was amazed the animals hadn't ran off yet, but knew the only reason the deer hadn't ran was sitting next to her. Chloe fought not to coo and aww over the adorable little baby deer that made her think of Bambi, a favorite of hers from childhood. Suddenly a hand was in front of her offering a handful of berries, diced fruits, and various grains. She hadn't even realized Beca had brought anything with her. Taking the fruit and grains the college senior put her hand out in front of her offering the treat to the three deer as Beca encouraged her to do.

Unbeknownst to the older girl Beca was filming the scene with her phone as the two little playful deer cautiously approached the redhead, each sniffing at her hand before stealing a taste and backing off bouncing around before coming back to eat more. The two siblings even bumping each other out of the way a bit to get to the special treat much to Chloe's enjoyment. With the brunette's further encouragement the ginger's other hand came up and she gently pet the soft fur along the little animals' necks.

Chloe couldn't believe what she was doing. She was petting wild animals not deer in a petting zoo and amazingly they were eating from her hand. Beca passed her some more fruit and grain as the mother deer finally approached to see what held her children's attention. The elder doe gently ate as Chloe pet her still soft yet coarser fur than the babies. The older Bella thought she was on her best first date or hell best date ever period. Her future wife had given her a special day as only she could give and Chloe loved it all and fell even more in love with her little powerhouse of a mate.

The couple enjoyed another hour by the pool and the clearing before making their way back to Chloe's car. The redhead gushing the whole way about the flowers, the butterflies, and especially the deer. Beca was on cloud nine that she was able to share some of her special world with her mate and that Chloe had loved it so much.

Once they reached Chloe's apartment that evening the redhead invited Beca in and they talked a bit and kissed a lot as they sat on the couch together. They finally broke apart when Aubrey came home from a study group shortly after 10 that night.

"I guess I'm going to have to get used to coming home and seeing you two getting your mac on." The blonde complained good naturedly.

"Easy there Bree your Gleek is showing." The youngest Bella teased.

"As is yours since you understood where my reference came from." Aubrey teased back. "I take it you had a good date judging from Chloe's huge smile and very bubbly mood."

"It was totally the tits, Bree." The ginger declared before launching into an exuberant recounting of her and Beca's first real date. "I so wish you could have seen them Aubrey, they were the cutest little things, just like Bambi."

"Actually, she can see them. I captured some pics and vids with my phone to commemorate our first date." Beca shrugged like it was no big deal even as she blushed a little. "If I can barrow your laptop I can download them so we can all see them on a bigger screen and you can have copies for yourself."

In short order the brunette found herself being soundly kissed once more by her sexy lady. "You are such an adorable little sweetheart."

"Yeah, like a totally adorable little being from The Shire." The blonde kidded and snorted out a laugh as Beca flipped her off behind the redhead's back as she was being kissed again.

"Hey Bree, grab the HDMI cable and we can hook it to my laptop and our big TV so we can see the pics and vids even better." Chloe said when she finally relinquished her hold on her fiancé and bounced off to her bedroom to grab her laptop.

In moments the three were looking at pics and vids Beca captured of Chloe as they ate, as the redhead walked through the field of wildflowers surrounded by butterflies with many landing on her, but the best was the video of Chloe's whole experience with the deer.

Aubrey was impressed, between the pics and vids and her besties gushing over the details of her date, the blonde realized Beca actually did give her adoptive sister a perfect date experience for one real life Disney Princess named Chloe.

"You did good shireling, real good." The blonde joked as she stood up from the couch. "It's nearly midnight and I'm beat. I'll see you both later." Aubrey gave her BFF a hug and even gave the brunette a shoulder squeeze before disappearing into her room.

"I better be going too. I have an early class in the morning." Beca moved towards the door, her fiancé meeting her there.

"If you hadn't figured it out yet Becs, I had a wonderful time today. You gave me an experience and memory I will always cherish." Chloe pulled her true love close kissing her again with all the love and happiness she felt in that moment, very much looking forward to the near future when she wouldn't have to send her love home because Beca's home would be with her.

When they broke apart the couple hugged each other close catching their breath, Beca burying her face against Chloe's neck breathing in her unique scent. Beca was also looking forward to the time when she wouldn't have to leave, because home to her would always be in her mate's arms. "I'm glad you enjoyed the day. I really enjoyed it as well. I liked being able to share a little more of my true self with you."

Their hold on one another tightened briefly before they reluctantly stepped out of each other's embrace. "Only three more weeks and I won't be letting you go at the end of the day, but taking you to bed with me every night."

"I am counting the days, literally. Only 23 more left." The DJ smirked. "I love you with all my heart Chloe. Sleep well." She snuck in one last quick kiss before slipping out the door shutting it behind her. Beca waited until her heightened hearing heard the deadbolt and chain slide into place before heading back to her dorm with an energetic step even if it was after midnight and she had been up since 5:30 in the morning.

…..

Once the door was locked Chloe turned with a happy sigh and spotted Aubrey watching her now dressed in her sleepwear and with a grin on her face.

"I'm glad you finally got your midget, but I'm not sure what's worse, the pining you used to do or the mooning you're doing now." The blonde ribbed as she moved into the room. "But honestly, I'm happy for you Chlo. That little hobbit loves you like crazy and worships the very ground you walk on. It will be her life's goal to love you, protect you, and make you happy. I guess I can't ask for much more than that for my best friend and adopted sister."

"Oh Aubrey." The redhead was all teary eyed as she flung her arms around the taller girl. "I love you too and I couldn't ask for a better friend or sister than you." Chloe pulled back with a mischievous grin. "You know this means Beca's going to be like your sister-in-law now or even just a little sister."

The fair haired young woman groaned for affect. "I guess I can handle it since we get Faith and Cathy in the deal too. They are pretty great and it sounds like Beca's Uncle and cousins are pretty cool too."

Chloe chuckled. "You don't fool me. I know Beca's grown on you and you are fond of her. She's fond of you too. You're both big gooey marshmallows with a hard shell."

"Whatever. You make us sound like Easter candy." The blonde rolled her eyes not planning to admit aloud anytime soon that she really was growing quit fond of the short alt-girl. "I'm going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face before I go to sleep. Try not to play your lady jam too loud as you think of your tiny fiancé and all the things you can't wait to do to her once you're married."

Both seniors were smiling a little later when they laid their heads down on their pillows to sleep that night, but each for different reasons.
