NIGHT OUT (T)
The 8 girls who were planning to head out for a night in town spent the evening getting ready, running from room to room, borrowing things they had forgotten from the other Bellas, such as straighteners, curlers, heels, and various items of makeup. Most of them got ready in their own rooms, only moving when they were mostly finished or needed an opinion. The only exceptions to this was Aubrey, who got dressed in Beca and Chloe's room, the red-head helping with everything, while the other three (Stacie, Beca, and Bella) got ready in the taller brunettes room. Beca helped a little with Stacie's hair, but mostly kept Bella busy while her mother applied her make-up as well as everything else.
The girls had decided that because this was technically their first date (Aubrey opposed this idea though as she believed Stacie deserved a proper first date) they shouldn't see each other before they were ready to go. Just after 7 o'clock the Bella's taxis showed up and half of them started getting into the first car, the second just behind. Stacie had been stood at the door, waiting for Aubrey to join them, the blonde rounded the top of the stairs, Chloe just behind her, and neither brunette felt like they could breathe. The taller of the two couldn't speak as she ran her eyes down Aubrey's legs and neck up to her face, lingering in certain parts of the Blonde's body. Beca was struggling to form sentences as she watched her girlfriend carry the toddler down the stairs as she felt in her heart that she wanted nothing more in life than to witness Chloe carry their own child in such a maternal fashion.
Aubrey approached the taller brunette who simply said "wow" without realising she was even talking "thank Stacie, you look pretty good too you know" the blonde replied, lacing her fingers in between the other girl's, brining her up to her mouth to kiss the back of her hand, careful not to mess up her lipstick. Beca simply wrapped her arms around Chloe's waist and rested her head on the slightly taller girl's shoulder, watching the two interact before whispering into the red-heads ear "I love you so much Chlo" and placing a small kiss behind her ear.
Before they left Stacie gave the couple instructions for Bella, "give her a bottle at 8 and she should be asleep for 8:30, but don't worry if it's closer to 9, she likes to push the boundaries but she'll crash after a while of fighting. She can sleep in our bed, or yours, whatever you guys prefer, and if she wakes up just tell her it's still bedtime." Chloe made a mental note of everything Stacie had said before hugging the girl and moving onto her best friend "we'll take Bella in our bed, so it's free for you guys" the red-head told the blonde with a wink as Aubrey blushed deeply. "thanks Chloe, but I don't know if that'll even happen" she said quietly as Stacie approached them and the four finished their goodbyes as Stacie and Aubrey made their way out to the car.
"What was that about earlier?" Chloe asked her girlfriend as she gathered snacks for the three of them, "what do you mean" Beca said, carrying their drinks through. "You know, how you said you loved me earlier?" The red-head continued, not wanting to press the brunette too much, "oh that, it's just how I saw you with Bella, I know we've only been together officially a few days, but realistically I fell for you the moment I saw you. So seeing you carrying Bella down the stairs made me think how much I want that for us in future, like you carrying around a mini Beca or Chloe, it just made me really happy." The brunette admitted as she set the drinks down, did the same with the snacks Chloe was carrying and started playing with the Red-heads fingers before realising the older girl had begun tearing up.
"I want that too Becs, so much." And the pair kissed deeply before Beca felt a weak tug on her t-shirt. "Can we put the words up?" Bella said, and Beca gave her a questioning look before Chloe tugged at her again "I think she means the sing along version, it puts the lyrics up" the red-head said, pointing at the title screen which clearly had the option Bella was asking for. "Sure thing, kiddo, let's go sit down." The three girls sang and danced along to the movie. Beca, not surprised at the fact Chloe had managed to learn the lyrics to all the songs from the other night.
Around 8 o'clock Beca noticed the youngest girl beginning to drift off to sleep and decided it was time for the girl to have her bottle, she lifted herself from the settee and made her way to the kitchen, taking one of Bella's bottles and filling It with milk before heating it in the microwave and bringing it through to the other two girls. Bella took her bottle and settled into Chloe's arms while she drank her bottle, handing it to Beca when she finished and Chloe cleaned her teeth before allowing the toddler to drift off to sleep a few minutes later.
Beca took the girl up stairs and set her in the middle of the bed and Chloe tucked her in. The two older girls stood and watched as the toddler breathed deeply, smiles on their faces as the silently imagined how many times they would get to do this in future with their own children. Deciding to leave the door open, just in case the girl woke, the couple went back downstairs and Chloe picked another movie for them to watch, tucked up into each other as hands stated to wonder.
The Bellas started their night in a small bar, down the street from the main club in the area, the idea being that they would 'pre' there so they could save money in the actual club. As expected Amy didn't pace herself and was easily the most drunk of them all, alongside Emily surprisingly, who wasn't technically allowed to drink but had borrow ID that would ensure she could get in. Shortly before 10 the club was packed and all the girls were on the dance floor getting lost in the beat of the music flowing around them. Considerably more drunk than they had been in a long time, Stacie and Aubrey never left each other's side, this included Stacie pulling the Blonde tightly against her, and the older girl ground into the girl behind her. A number of the Bellas has noticed the pair dancing and had broad smiles on their face at seeing them so free, Aubrey normally in a controlling manner, and Stacie always worrying about Bella.
At some point, Stacie had left to buy the pair another drink while Aubrey went to the toilet to freshen up. On the way back the blonde had been pulled to the side by the strong hand of a guy she didn't know "hey beautiful, when you coming back to mine?" He said, pulling the girl closer to him and lowering a hand to her ass. "never" Aubrey said strongly as she tried to pull away from him, only for his hand to tighten around her body "I don't think so, I have a problem needing taken care of" he said, pressing a body against her as Aubrey began to panic.
Suddenly the hands around her disappeared and her head whipped round to find the guy on the floor, Stacie standing above him "don't put your hands on a girl who doesn't want you, ever" she said before turning back to blonde to check she was okay. "Let's go" the brunette said, as she took Aubrey's hand in the her own, the one that wasn't bleeding. One their way out they gathered the rest of the girls and heading back to the resort.
When the returned to the other two girls Aubrey told them about what happened as Stacie rubbed her back trying to comfort the blonde and give her strength to continue the story. "I just turned round and he was on the floor, I don't know what would've happened if Stacie hadn't turned up." She said wrapping herself around the tall brunette. "Oh my god Stacie! Your hand!" Chloe shouted and all the girls looked down at the brunettes knuckles, shocked at the deep shade of purple they had gone, as well as the small cuts that were spotted across them.
"It's no big deal, I'll be fine" she told them but Chloe protested, "no way Stace, come here, where did you learn to hit like that anyway?" The red-head asked as she cleaned up the girl's wounds and allowed the doctor to check herself for any broken bones. "Just after Bella was born i was scared I wouldn't be able to protect her, and there's all these stories about single moms who get attacked all the time. I couldn't risk Bella getting hurt." Aubrey reached up as she hugged the taller girl tightly and whispered into her ear so only she could hear "take me to bed baby, I need you tonight" Stacie nodded her head and the two went to bed, telling the rest of them they would see them in the morning. The pair spent the night together, thankful that Beca and Chloe had taken Bella to sleep in their bed, allowing the couple to do what they wanted to each other without worrying about anything else.
