A/N: Alright! Ch.11 just a warning… smut in this chapter, and I'm new to writing per say, I'm just new to people reading it. So be kind. And enjoy! Please R&R!

Chloe and Aubrey sat on the couch in their apartment, the TV on, but turned down low.

"Should we go back to work?" Chloe asked as she snuggled in closer to Aubrey who in turn wrapped her arm around her and ran her fingers up and down Chloe's arm while she thought about her question.

"I don't know, maybe? I mean we can afford to take two weeks off, and we have the vacation time."

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, but, we only took the time off to be with Beca. And since she isn't here, I thought it might be a good idea to save our vacation time, for when she is." She said reaching up and grabbing Aubrey's hand playing with her fingers.

Aubrey seemed to think about it. "True. Well, why don't we take tomorrow to think about it?" She asked.

Chloe nodded. "Good idea. Only if we can stay in bed all day? I miss you."

"We've been together every day for almost a week." Aubrey pointed out with a small laugh as she placed a kiss on the redheads temple.

Chloe shrugged. "I know we have, but with everything that's been going on, I feel like I haven't really been able to be with you on more than a friendship level."

Aubrey bit her bottom lip with a small smile. "You mean you miss sleeping with me?" She asked a hint of amusement in her voice.

Chloe continued to play with her fingers. "Well, yeah." She said in a small voice. Aubrey laughed.

"Oh my god, you are so adorable, Chlo." She said and used her hand that wasn't currently being handle by her suddenly shy girlfriend to tilt her chin and place a soft kiss on her lips.

She should have known, especially after the conversation she just had, that Chloe would instantly deepen the kiss. She smiled when she felt Chloe run her tongue along her bottom lip and opened her mouth granting her access.

They hadn't been intimate since Becas accident and while they have no hard feelings about it. Though they slept in the same bed while Beca was there, they just couldn't bring themselves to do anything with her in the next room.

Aubrey want aware of exactly how much she needed this until Chloe's hand reached up and wrapped around the back of her neck pulling her closer and she pushed Chloe by the shoulder, keeping their lips attached and lowered her down onto her back on the couch.

They broke a part for air after a moment, and rested their foreheads together.

"I miss you too, ladybug." She said and Chloe smiled for a moment before surging back up and capturing Aubrey's lips in a kiss that quickly turned heated.

Aubrey moaned into the kiss when she felt Chloe's hand slowly travel up under her shirt, her fingers tickling across her stomach until she cupped her breast firmly and began kneading it.

Her hips rolled against the redheaded vixen under her on their own accord, causing Chloe to release a moan of her own.

She pulled away from her lips and began leaving open mouthed kisses along her jaw and gently took her earlobe between her teeth and pulled, before continuing to leave more kissed down her neck and up the other side until she latched onto her pulse point and sucked.

A small gasp left Chloe's kiss swollen lips and she slid her hand down the blonde's stomach to the top of her jeans where she quickly unbuttoned them, and slid her hand in causing Aubrey to stop her ministrations on her girlfriend's neck.

"Right to the point there Chlo?" she asked and Chloe smiled almost maliciously as she unexpectedly entered her with two fingers.

Aubrey gasped and crashed her lips against Chloe's for a moment before pulling away.

"I don't see you complaining." She winked. Aubrey narrowed her eyes playfully.

"Not here, "She said. "Bedroom." She moved and Chloe barely had time to pull her hand from the other girl's pants before she was being pulled up off of the couch and down the hall.

As soon as they entered their shared room, Chloe's body was used to close the door as Aubrey crashed into her kissing her almost roughly.

Chloe always loved how even if Chloe initiated it, Aubrey would take control.

She grabbed the bottom of Chloe's t shirt and broke to pull it up over her head, then rid herself of her own shirt. As usual she took a moment to marvel at the perfection that was Chloe Beale and Chloe of course did the same, her eyes raking over Aubrey just long enough before she was again pushed against the door with Aubreys hands firmly cupping her breasts and her mouth attached to her neck again.

Chloe moaned in approval arching into to her touch while reaching around and unclasping Aubrey's bra before pulling it down her arms. Once it was out of the way, she wasted no time and grabbed both exposed breasts, kneading them while simultaneously rolling her nipples between her fingers turning them into hardened peaks. Aubrey pulled her from the door and walked her to the bed where she unbuttoned her pants and pushed them down, and Chloe kicked them off as Aubrey disposed of her own pants, and before they realized it, Chloe was on her back on the bed with Aubrey hovering over her.

"You are so beautiful, Chloe." She said. Chloe smiled up at her.

"Not as beautiful as you, Bree. " She said lovingly and Aubrey leaned down, connecting their lips, but the kiss wasn't like the ones before. It never was.

They were hasty and sometimes rough when it came to foreplay and everything leading up to sex, but once they were pressed together in their bed, it wasn't like that. It was loving caresses, and love bites. To them, sex wasn't just something that needed to be done to accomplish a release; it was something special, and they took their time worshiping each other's bodies and sharing passionate kisses.

Aubrey ran her fingers up and down Chloe's exposed side and she squirmed under her, erupting in giggles.

"Bree, don't tickle." She scolded.

"Why am I completely topless and you are still wearing this?" Aubrey asked fingering the strap of Chloe's bra.

Chloe smiled. "Because you haven't taken me out of it yet." She said.

Aubrey kissed the tip of her nose and sat up, pulling her with her. "Well, then. I guess I better do my job." She whispered against her ear as she reached around and snapped her bra open with two fingers.

Chloe laughed again. "I love when you do that." She said as Aubrey pulled the bra off of her and tossed it to the floor.

"I love doing it." She said before pushing her back and claiming her lips again.

They made out for a few minutes, hands traveling gently over exposed skin, until Aubrey couldn't wait any longer and reached between them, cupping Chloe through her panties.

She smiled. "A little excited?" she asked feeling the wet fabric that covered Chloe's most sacred place.

"You know I am." Chloe gasped feeling Aubreys fingers begin to press against her as she placed soft kissed on Chloe's jaw and neck.

Chloe reached up to return the favor when Aubrey pulled her hand away from her and stopped her.

"What?" Chloe asked confused, and Aubrey just shook her head letting Chloe's hand go and reaching down hooking her fingers into the thin material and pulling them down her legs. Chloe bit her bottom lip in anticipation as she watched Aubrey remove her own underwear before crawling back up the length of her body, leaving a trail of kisses over her legs, then her thighs. Her breath hitched, when Aubrey got closer to where she needed her most, but she completely passed it, and placed open mouth kisses on her hips, the her stomach and belly button all the way up before she circle her nipple with her tongue and sucked it into her mouth. Chloe's eyes closed and she thread her fingers through Aubreys blonde curls.

She continued to suck and gently bite her right breast before giving her left the same attention. Chloe not being able to control it, lifted her hips and rolled against Aubrey thigh that had been resting between her legs. The moan that escaped made Aubrey stop what she was doing and she instantly attached their lips and ground her center against Chloe's.

"God, Bree." She gasped as Aubrey continued to grind against her. She kissed her hard and her hands reached around grabbing the blonde hips and digging her nails into the perfectly tanned skin.

Aubrey braced herself up on her elbows so she could look down at Chloe. Her eyes were closed and her face was that of pure pleasure as her breathy moans became louder as they came closer to their climax.

She rolled against her a little harder causing the redhead to open her eyes and look up at her. They were full of love and desire as they both felt the familiar sensation in their bellies as they were sent over the edge. Aubrey came with a breathy gasp and Chloe with a high pitched moan, Aubrey only slowly enough to allow them to ride out their orgasms as she fell down onto her girlfriend. After a moment, they stilled and Aubrey rolled to the side, pulling Chloe against her and tangling their legs.

"I love you, Aubrey." Chloe said, and Aubrey could hear the post sex exhaustion in her girlfriends voice. She smiled and kissed her head.

"I love you too, baby. Get some sleep." She said softly and within seconds they were both sound asleep wrapped in each other's arms.

"Beca, you heard what Aubrey said," Stacie scolded as she tried to get Beca to drink a glass of water.

Beca looked at her in annoyance. "I'm not thirsty." She said.

Stacie sighed. "Come on Becs, just drink the water, please, you know how upset Aubrey will be if you don't, and if I don't make you, she will ring my neck. She already wants to murder me, I'd rather just please her with this." She said.

Becas face fell. She knew what Stacie meant by Aubrey wanting to murder her and she felt terrible. She slowly reached out and took the water, her eyes down cast as she finished the glass.

Stacie looked slightly confused then realized what she said.

"Oh, shit. Beca I didn't mean it in a bad way. It wasn't your fault." She said sitting next to her. Beca nodded but still wouldn't look at her.

"Beca, look at me." She said. She wouldn't.

Stacie sighed and ignoring the fact that she should do it, she reached out and grabbed Becas chin pulling her face around to see her.

She knew it would scare her, and it did. She almost felt bad seeing the fear on the smaller girls face. But she was being so damn stubborn about everything, and Stacie didn't handle stubborn well. Maybe acting like Beca was a fragile piece of glass wasn't the way to go.

"Beca, I know you think it is your fault, but it's not. You came to me with a terrible secret and like an idiot I kept it. I was supposed to be your friend, and help you and protect you and make sure you were safe, and while I may have taken you in in the middle of the night and listened to you and cleaned you up. In the end it doesn't matter, because I failed you as a friend. I kept that secret and because of it, he hurt you again. And I know Aubrey and Chloe may believe it only happened once, but I'm not stupid. I know he hit you more than that. You flinch when someone moves to fast, and you won't look people in the eyes. You apologize constantly and you are so scared of everything." Her eyes were full of tears now and she released Becas chin. She subconsciously moved away from Stacie, only proving the taller girls point.

"You wouldn't be this terrified of everything if it only happened once."

Beca didn't even know she had started crying until Stacie handed her a tissue from the box on the coffee table.

She took it and wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, Stace. I'm sorry I made you keep that secret and I know we have already been over this, at the hospital. But, it was really wrong of me to make you carry such a horrible burden. I was just so scared." She said.

Stacie inched closer to her. "Can I hold you?" She asked her voice cracking. Beca hesitated before nodding slowly and Stacie pulled her into her arms and laid back on the couch, Beca nuzzled her face into Stacie's neck and the taller girl held onto her protectively.

Beca took a shaky breath before speaking. "He didn't only do it once. " She said in a small voice.

Stacie rubbed her hand over Becas side, letting her know she was listening and to continue.

"After… after that night. Everything I did seemed to upset him. If I was late to the station. Or late coming back from the station. If I was with Chloe, or left him to see the girls. He would yell at me, or break something. Or hit me."

She said. She could feel Stacie tense under her. "He never hit me in the face, because he didn't want anyone to see the bruises. So he would punch me in the stomach or squeeze my arms. Kick my legs. "She cried.

"He said if I ever told, he would hurt Chloe and Aubrey." She said. "And I knew he would, and I didn't want them to get hurt, especially because of me."

She couldn't say anymore, as she broke down crying. Stacie held her close and gently rubbed her back. "Shh, it's okay. You're safe now. They are safe. He can't hurt you or anybody again."

This is how they sat until Beca eventually passed out from exhaustion. Stacie knew it was painful to talk about, but she also knew that talking about it would only help her. She didn't particularly like that she had to practically scare her into speaking, but treating her as if she was going to break if they weren't gentle, wasn't going to help. She was already broken, and all they could do now was help mend her.

She lay there for a long while, absentmindedly running her fingers through Becas soft curls, wondering how she could get her hair to curl like Becas did. She was lucky to be born with hair than naturally fell into the elegant curls that Stacie would pay a good amount of money to have done at a salon.

She was so lost in her random thoughts, she didn't feel when Beca began to move uncomfortably against her. Only when she let out a small whimper, was Stacie pulled from her thoughts.

She stopped and listened. She whimpered again. "Beca?" she asked softly, thinking maybe she had woken up and was crying again. No answer.

"Stop." She gasped suddenly and Stacie froze.

Shit. She's having a nightmare.

Beca began to struggle against her, small cries escaping her lips as whatever haunted her dreams seemed to be getting closer.

"Beca? Beca, sweetie, wake up." She said and sat up pulling the small girl up with her. Her head fell back and Stacie quickly grabbed it and lifted it back, in a sitting position she lay Becas head against her chest and rubbed her hand up and down her back as she spoke softly.

"C'mon, Becs. Wake up. It's just a dream." She said.

Becas small whimpers began to escalate into full blown cries and she started shaking.

"Shit. Beca, Beca come on, wake up." Stacie said pulling the girl away from her and shaking her

Slightly. Her eyes suddenly snapped open and she looked at Stacie in pure fear before she pulled away from her so violently she fell off the couch.

Stacie looked scared herself. "Beca?" The small brunette moved away from her as quickly as she could being on the ground, until she hit the reclining chair and curled her legs up to her chest, hiding her face.

Stacie stood up and went over to her. She could hear her whispering something and listening closer she heard.

"Please, stop. I'm sorry. Please, please don't, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She reached out and gently lay her hand on Becas arm that was holding her legs up against her chest.

"Beca?" She looked up and Stacie could see that she was about to burst into tears again.

"S-Stacie?" She asked, her voice cracking with emotion.

It was then Stacie realized that Becas nightmare had followed her into consciousness and that's why she was so desperate to get away from her.

"It's me, Becs. I won't hurt you." She said softly. Beca closed her eyes, tears escaping and she nodded slowly.

"Let's get you to bed." She said and held her hand out for Beca to take. She looked at Stacie's offered hand and slowly put her own, much smaller hand into it. Stacie stood carefully pulling her to her feet and walked her to the bedroom. After Getting her into a pair of her shorts, cause it was Stacie and she slept naked, so a pair of cotton short shorts was all she had. Then a tank top. She pulled the blankets back and Beca climbed in. Smiling lightly as Stacie pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in.

"Thank you Stacie." She said softly. The taller girl smiled and leaned down, kissing her forehead.

"Anytime Becs." She said and turned toward the door.

She had just switched off the light when she heard her name.

"Stacie?"

She turned around. "Yeah?" She asked.

"Could you, um… will you, maybe sleep in here? With me? I don't want to be alone." She said shyly.

Stacie smiled. "Of course." She said and walked back into the room. She climbed into the other side of the bed and settled in.

"Thank you." Beca whispered.

Stacie smiled again. "Anytime."

After a moment Stacie felt Beca scoot just a little bit closer to her. She figured she was just getting comfortable. Then she did it again. Finally she was just close enough that there legs touched.

She snickered. "Beca?"

"…Yeah?" came a small voice.

"Do you want to cuddle?" She asked.

Beca didn't answer just scooted closer until she was pressed against the taller girl and Stacie laughed lightly wrapping her arms around her and Beca again nuzzled her face into Stacie's neck as Stacie held onto her.

"Thank you."

"Sweet dreams, sweetie."
