A/n: Set back at Barden. Also these are one shots set in the same universe but not in a linear timeline, oh and please forgive me for changing stepmonsters name from Sarah to Shelia.

Kimmy Jin sat on her bed staring at Beca Mitchell, the self-proclaimed bad ass, who was curled up under countless blankets and still visibly shaking. Kimmy tired hard not to actually care but it had been nearly a whole year of the annoying white girl and her redheaded girlfriend constantly near her. She liked Chloe Beale, the woman had a way with Beca that Kimmy was impressed with, she also realized that those moments Chloe managed to get Beca to drop her guard with herself still in the room was kind of a gift, a different point of view on the small woman. Kimmy nearly jumped when Beca started throwing up, she looked over at the girl who was now on the floor, still under the blankets, her head buried in a trash can.

"Can I get you anything?" Kimmy Jin asked wearily, she knew when people like Beca were sick they could lash out in anger because being sick meant being weak, which Beca was not.

"I'll be ok, it's just a bug." Beca said, she looked up and made slight eye contact like trying to prove her point that she'll be ok, till she started throwing up again.

"I'll get Carl to let you borrow his notes from your physics class."

"Why?" Beca asked not bothering to look up this time.

"So you don't fall behind." Kimmy Jin said before grabbing her bag. "I should be back in a few hours… if you need anything you can text, and any medicine of mine you want just take… or the vernors." Kimmy was about to open the door when she stopped, hand hovering over the knob. She turned and walked over to Beca's book shelf grabbing the girl's laptop, ipod and headphones, she walked them back over to Beca and set them where the girl could reach them from the floor or bed.

"Thanks…" Beca said her voice laced with disbelief.

x-x-x

Kimmy Jin had gotten a copy of the notes from Carl, she had to agree to let him use her TV for an hour for Call of Duty but it was worth it, the kid took 8 pages front and back of notes for a 3 hour class. She tried to not feel like she was rushing back to the room but couldn't shake the feeling. When she finally got to the room and walked in she found Beca had at least made it back into her bed, upon closer inspection the girl was sleeping. Taking the risk Kimmy reached her hand out and laid it across Beca's forehead, the girl was on fire. Setting her class stuff on her desk Kimmy grabbed the sticky note Chloe had left her address on for her one day, stating it was for emergencies only. Kimmy couldn't figure out if Beca would be mad or not if she had gotten Chloe, she looked up at Beca's form on the bed just as the girl woke up and started throwing up again.

"Still sick?"

"Getting worse." Beca moaned looking up at Kimmy Jin; the other woman noticed the tears falling down her roommates face.

"I can go to the drug store or take you to the clinic?" She offered and Beca just shook her head.

"I'll be ok, I swear." Beca said and Kimmy Jin looked at her skeptically.

"Here, at least take my extra blankets." Kimmy said grabbing the extras from under her bed, she took them and covered the small woman.

"Thanks." Beca said and curled back up closing her eyes, trying to fall back asleep. Kimmy Jin went over to her bed and laid down, if Beca was still sick in the morning she would go get Chloe.

x-x-x

Kimmy Jin groaned when her alarm went off in the morning, reaching over she turned it off before throwing her legs over the side of her bed to stand up. Remembering her sick roommate she looked up but Beca wasn't there, standing up she moved closer to see if maybe the girl had burrowed into the blankets. She hadn't but she had left a note, 'Went to shower in case you find me missing'. Kimmy Jin smiled, if Beca was feeling well enough to shower then whatever was infecting her was over, she started getting ready for class. Finally ready she grabbed her bag and headed out, as she walked down the hall she felt the urge to check on Beca, the girl had been extremely sick yesterday. She walked down the hall and turned into the bathrooms.

"How long you think she's been there?" A girl asked another as the two walked out.

"Well she was there when I got there so over a half an hour." The girl laughed and Kimmy Jin felt her stomach sink. She walked down the shower stalls to the last one running, Beca's stuff was sitting outside it.

"Beca?" She called and got no response but the still running water. Kimmy Jin grabbed the woman's robe and opened the curtain, Beca had passed out it looked like. Kimmy Jin shut off the water and put her hand on Beca, once again the girl was extremely hot to the touch. Picking her up under her arms, she tied the robe onto Beca's small body and shook her head a bit. "Alright Becs, time to get up, come on." She shook the girl more and slowly Beca's eyes opened only to snap back shut.

"Fuck my head…" Beca groaned and doubled over.

"Oh no you don't come on; we have to get you back to the room." Kimmy said throwing Beca's arm over her shoulder, she carried most of Beca's weight as they walked back to the dorm. She got Beca tucked back in and some Advil into her before she went back and collected both their things from the bathroom. When she returned to the room Beca was fast asleep already, Kimmy grabbed the address again and headed back out the door. The walk took her almost fifteen minutes, Chloe lived clear on the other side of campus. Finally she found the right apartment and knocked on the door, a few moments later it swung open and Aubrey Posen stood on the other side.

"Can I help you?" Aubrey asked.

"Is Chloe here? Beca's really sick and… she needs her because I can't get her to let me help." She watched as Aubrey's face fell.

"How sick are we talking? Just a little sniffles or…" Kimmy Jin had to give it to Aubrey, the blonde sounded worried.

"She hasn't stopped throwing up, and passed out in the showers earlier." Kimmy Jin explained and Aubrey nodded, before disappearing into the apartment.

"You can step in!" She heard Aubrey yell from somewhere and Kimmy Jin stepped in, taking her shoes off she shut the door. Waiting for someone to return Kimmy Jin looked around the small apartment and realized that it had just as much of Beca in it as it did the other two women. There was a shelving unit up against a wall that she started skimming through, tons of cds and vinyl records were on the shelves along with different books shoved into random spots, between cds and records. She ran her fingers over what she knew for a fact was Beca's copy of The Catcher in the Rye.

"Alright tell me everything." Chloe said coming around the corner in her pjs, still yawning.

"I woke up yesterday and she was really sick, fever, throwing up the whole package, I kept trying to help but she brushed it off. I figured it was just a twenty-four hour flu bug, but I woke up this morning and she wasn't in the room. She thankfully left a note saying she was in the shower, I checked on her before going to class because she hadn't returned yet and she had been passed out on the floor with her fever again. I gave her some Advil right before I walked over here, she had fallen asleep by the time I had left. Chloe she's really messed up, like I'm worried she's that bad." Kimmy Jin explained each point that she had seen, she looked up at Chloe whose eyes were full of worry.

"I'll take it from here, you need a ride back?" Chloe offered grabbing a duffle bag from by the door.

"If you wouldn't mind, I need my class stuff before I go to class." Kimmy Jin said and Chloe nodded.

"Aubrey I got my phone, I'll be gone for awhile." Chloe said to her friend and Aubrey nodded. "Could you do me a huge favor and run to the store later and get that chicken noodle soup we always get when one of us is sick?"

"Sure Chloe, give my best to sicky." Aubrey said as the two walked out, Kimmy Jin followed Chloe out to her car. They stayed fairly quiet for most the drive, till Chloe looked over to her.

"So… not to sound rude or anything but why did you come get me?" Chloe asked.

"She's really sick and whinnying… plus you asked me to."

"When did I ask you that?" Chloe said raising an eyebrow.

"Right after you and Beca started dating you gave me your address saying if something happened…" Kimmy Jin said nervously.

"Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot about that, I was so nervous, you never said a word to me so I didn't know where we stood on stuff like that." Chloe laughed, as she pulled into a spot near the dorms. "I'm glad you got me though."

"So am I, you're not going to believe how sick she is." Kimmy Jin said and Chloe looked worried. "She is Beca though, she'll fight through it." The two walked back to the dorm room, Kimmy Jin opened the door and let Chloe go in. She watched as Chloe walked over to Beca's bed.

"Beca, baby?" Chloe said softly, Kimmy Jin could see the redhead move strands of the brunets hair out of her face. Kimmy Jin smiled before grabbing her class work and walking out, she knew her roommate was in good hands now.

x-x-x

Beca woke up a few hours later, her head was pounding and her stomach was tumbling still, groaning she rolled away from the slight light that came from Kimmy Jin's side.

"Turn off the light." She whined and heard a giggle in reply.

"Babe, it's the sun, I don't know exactly how to turn that off."

"Stick a blanket over it." Beca whined again, but turned back over to try and pull Chloe to her.

"You have them all." Chloe said crawling up next to the small girl.

"I'll give you one if you use it to cover the light, and then cuddle with me." Beca tried bargaining and Chloe rolled her eyes grabbing one of the blankets she threw it over the small gap in the curtains, plunging the room into complete darkness. She walked back over to the small girl curling up under the blankets with her, she heard Beca sigh just before the small girl burrowed as close as she could.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"As compared to?" She heard Beca mumble.

"This morning when you passed out." Chloe asked, her arms tightly wrapped around the girl, kissing the top of her head.

"I passed out?" Beca asked looking up at the redhead.

"Yeah, Kimmy Jin found you out cold in the bathroom this morning. She had to carry you back here, and then came to get me." Chloe said even more worried about Beca.

"I don't remember…" Beca said nonchalantly, she shrugged and tucked her head back.

"So how do you feel in general?" Chloe asked.

"Like a truck hit me, backed up, ran me over again… then rolled over on me and caught fire, then the fire department tried putting out the fire with that foam stuff that sucks all the oxygen out of the fire and I finally suffocated to death."

"Ok… you get dark when you're sick." Chloe chuckled, she pulled the blankets up around herself and Beca who was burning up against her, she tucked them under Beca so no air would get out.

"You asked." Beca yawned, Chloe watched as the girl's eyes started to slide shut.

"Go back to sleep Beca, I'll be right here if you need anything." Chloe said slowly running her fingers over Beca's temple as the young woman fell asleep. Chloe just stayed spooned against Beca's back the whole time the younger woman slept, it took her awhile but she eventually joined her girlfriend in sleep.

x-x-x

When Chloe woke back up she found the bed empty, sitting up right away she found Beca curled up on the floor throwing up again. Chloe grabbed the blankets and sat behind Beca, puling the small girl as close as she could, she wrapped the blankets around the two of them.

"Shhh it'll be ok." Chloe said as she felt Beca's body shudder, she wasn't expecting the younger woman to turn in her arms and cling to her like her life depended on it.

"Just make it stop." Beca cried and Chloe held her.

"I wish I could, babe, I would if I knew how." She tried to remember what her mother use to do when her brother or she herself were ill, but both kids were extremely healthy all their lives. They stayed like that on the floor for nearly another half hour before Chloe finally spoke again. "Why don't we try to get you back to bed?" She whispered but got no response, looking down she realized Beca had fallen asleep against her, smiling she gently picked the girl up and placed her back in the bed. Chloe grabbed the blankets back up and covered her girlfriend; she grabbed a bottle of water and some more Advil to give Beca when she woke back up. She crawled back into the bed behind Beca, she wrapped her arms around her again, tucking her head over the brunet's, she tucked the covers back in to keep the girl warm. She heard her phone vibrate against the shelf, grabbing it she realized how late it was.

Aubrey: You coming to Bella's?

Chloe: Beca is like death barely warmed over, I can't make it tonight.

Aubrey: Take care of her, try getting some crackers or something in her, she may have passed out from lack of food. Melba toast works well too, nothing too flavorful though.

Chloe: Thanks Aub.

Chloe looked down at the small girl again, she was glad her best friend and girlfriend had learned to put their differences aside. She looked up when Kimmy Jin opened the door, they made eye contact and Kimmy Jin nodded down toward Beca, Chloe frowned and shook her head, she was semi shocked when the other girl frowned also.

"I got you a sandwich, I figured since she's so sick you haven't eaten yet either. Plus sandwiches don't have much smell at all so it shouldn't make her stomach turn." Kimmy Jin said, grabbing two sub sandwiches out, she handed one to Chloe.

"Thanks." Chloe said untangling herself from the nest, she tucked the blankets around Beca once more, before taking the sandwich and sitting at the desk to eat it.

"Yeah no problem." The girl said before turning on her tv, keeping the volume down so not to wake Beca. "Has she woken up at all?"

"Only to get sick again." Chloe said.

"Maybe she should see a doctor…" Kimmy Jin offered.

"I'm telling Aubrey I'm stealing her weekly appointment tomorrow at 8am to take Beca in…soon, I'll tell her soon." Chloe said and Kimmy Jin chuckled.

"So weekly appointment?"

"Aubrey's dad, it's for a blood draw, and to check her asthma, it's a lot better now than when we were kids. He worries about it, he nearly lost her as a kid to it, scared the shit out of him."

"How did he not know how to treat her asthma?" Kimmy Jin gapped, shocked.

"They had no idea she had it, he called 911 screaming that his 5 year old was blue, had the dispatcher not told him to go into the bathroom and turn the water onto as hot as it would go then steam her… she'd be dead."

"Wow… I had no clue."

"Not many people do, especially now, she's nearly out grown it but it still scares him, so he demands these weekly tests." Chloe said then looked up at Kimmy Jin. "You know I kind of wrote you off as just this introvert that hated us every time I came over."

"I don't mind you, or Beca, just don't tell her that. I just I'm not much of a people person, and at first neither was Beca, so we worked well together, living together."

"Then she met me!" Chloe beamed and Kimmy Jin laughed.

"Yes she did, and I hated you to be honest. Now though after a year of watching you break her walls down like you have, I just hope I end up with someone like that one day."

"You will." Chloe promised, smiling at the girl. "Everyone does right?"

"That's what I like to think." Kimmy Jin said, she threw out her sub wrapper and looked at Chloe's, the redhead smiled and balled hers up also so Kimmy Jin could throw it out.

"Thanks again by the way, you were right I haven't eaten all day." Chloe said and Kimmy Jin just shrugged.

"I figured, you wanna watch anything specific?"

"Disney? It's the only movies I can get this one to watch, she loves Lady and the Tramp, and The aristocrats, and a few select others." Kimmy Jin nodded grabbing the Princess and the Frog.

"This work?"

"Screw Beca, that's one of my favorites." Chloe said and Kimmy Jin laughed, putting the movie in. Chloe curled back up with Beca, who slightly woke up at the movement.

"Chlo…" She groaned opening her eyes.

"Hey sleepyhead, Kimmy Jin just put in The Princess and the Frog if you think you can stay awake to watch. Plus I want to get some Advil into you." Chloe whispered and Beca nodded, slightly sitting up. Chloe quickly grabbed the medicine and water bottle, she handed them over to her girlfriend, watching Beca take the Advil before taking the water bottle back. "Lay back down, we'll watch the movie ok?"

"Mmmk." She heard Beca mumble again, she once again took her spot behind Beca, her arms wrapped tightly around the smaller woman. It wasn't long till Beca was back asleep, snoring lightly. Chloe and Kimmy Jin finished the movie before both agreed to try and sleep.

x-x-x

Chloe woke up to the sound of her phone alarm going off, grabbing the offending object she realized she had to get Beca up and ready to go to the doctor. Rolling back over to wake the younger woman up, she realized Beca wasn't beside her, Chloe shot up and looked around the room, Beca was sitting in her desk chair headphones on. Chloe relaxed and got out of bed, she tapped on Beca's shoulder to get her attention, smiling when Beca turned to face her, taking the headphones off.

"Hey, I'm going to take you to the clinic ok?" Chloe said and Beca nodded. "You feeling any better?" Chloe asked pressing a kiss to the younger girl's forehead, she still had a fever.

"No, its day three now, can't this just go away?" Beca whined and Chloe wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, holding her close.

"Let's go to the doctor and see what he can find ok?" Chloe asked and Beca nodded her head against Chloe's neck. Chloe grabbed Beca clean clothes and an extra jacket, she helped her change before helping her walk to the car.

"Why did that take so much energy?" Beca whined as she curled up in the front seat of Chloe's car.

"Because the little things take more energy when you're so sick." Chloe said, she took Beca's hand in her own as she started to drive across campus to the clinic. The drive was quiet, Beca focused on the world outside flying by while tracing patterns on the back of Chloe's hand. When they pulled up however was when things got tougher for the redhead.

"Ok I lied, lets go back to the dorm." Beca said rushed, eyes wide, she had a death grip on Chloe's hand.

"No babe, you've been sick for three days, haven't kept any food down and barely any liquids. Now get out of the car." Chloe said tucking Beca's hair behind her ear, she smiled reassuringly at the younger woman.

"Nope." Beca said shaking her head.

"I will carry you in there." Chloe warned and Beca let out a cry.

"Please…"

"No. Get out." Chloe said opening her own door, she was at Beca's in a flash, Beca sighed and followed Chloe into the building. "Now sit down I'll sign us in." Chloe said walking up to the nurse's station.

"Hey Chloe, Aubrey called us already, just take Beca right on back to room Three." The nurse who normally worked on Aubrey, Nora, said smiling, Chloe smiled back and nodded.

"Thanks Nora." Chloe walked back over to Beca, "Come on they want us in room three." Beca groaned standing back up, she allowed Chloe to pull her back to the room.

"I hate doctors."

"So do I." Chloe said, she wrapped her arms around Beca as they waited on the doctors exam table, it was barely five minutes before Nora came in.

"So what has you so sick?" She asked smiling at Beca, who groaned and started to think about what hurt.

"I've been throwing up for three days, I've been dizzy for a week, had a sinus infection sorta earlier this week."

"Any fever?" Nora asked as she took notes.

"Horrible fever." Chloe said and Nora nodded.

"Are you sexually active?" Nora asked and Beca turned red.

"Not the kind that can get me knocked up." Beca said and Chloe chuckled.

"We're together, and as long as she's been faithful, we are both clean." Chloe said and Nora nodded.

"Good, glad to hear you're safe. How about drugs, are you on anything?"

"Advil." Beca replied, tucking her head into the crook of Chloe's neck, she yawned.

"She isn't on any drugs." Chloe said and Nora gave her a look.

"Oh those drugs, no… I can't afford them." Beca joked and Nora laughed nodding.

"So you aren't knocked up right?"

"Did you knock me up?" Beca asked looking at Chloe.

"Well unless I grew a dick and balls… she's safe." Chloe said and Beca smirked putting her head back down on Chloe's shoulder.

"Anything else?"

"She passed out in the shower the other morning." Chloe added and thought.

"You hit your head?"

"No, I hit my ass." Beca scoffed and Chloe rolled her eyes.

"No weird food or traveling places?"

"I had watermelon the other day." Both Chloe and Nora raised an eyebrow at the woman. "What! It's like January and there was watermelon, who the fuck gets watermelon outside of summer months?" Beca defended.

"No weird foods." Nora said out loud as she wrote. "No basement alcohol right?"

"Nope all store bought." Beca said proudly.

"Alright, the doctor will be right in." Nora said walking out. Beca yawned again and leaned further into Chloe.

"I'm cold… I want to go home." Beca said and Chloe ran her hands up and down Beca's arms.

"Soon I promise." Chloe said kissing the top of her head, just as the door opened.

"Morning Chloe, I see Aubrey traded her appointment today." A young male doctor said walking in, Beca glared at the man, he was too friendly with Chloe. "Who is this?"

"Beca Mitchell, she's my girlfriend, and she has been sick for three days unable to keep food down." Chloe said, they watched the man go over Nora's notes before he nodded and looked at Beca.

"Beca why don't you lay down and I'm going to have to examine you real quickly. Chloe you should leave."

"No." Beca glared at the man grabbing Chloe's hand as she stood up.

"It's alright Brian I'll stay here with her."

"Alright." He nodded as Beca laid down, he lifted her shirt up pressing down softly on her stomach, Beca grimaced but wasn't in terrible pain. "Well that's a good sign." He smiled letting her sit up, he did the normal heart, lung, ear, throat, nose check on her before sitting down on his small chair again, Chloe took her spot next to Beca.

"So what is it doc?"

"You said you had a sinus infection?" He said looking up from his notes, with eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, it wasn't bad just some sniffles."

"Have you had any issues hearing lately?"

"No!" Beca said nearly jumping up, Chloe held her down.

"Are you sure? I need to know." Brain asked and Beca looked over at Chloe before down at the ground.

"Last week during Bella's I couldn't hear anything for like fifteen minutes. Then again right before I passed out in the shower, I couldn't hear the water hitting the floor."

"You have what is called labyrinthitis. It'll go away in a few days, till then I'll give you meds for your stomach and the dizzy spells. It's basically a really nasty ear infection." Brain said writing up a prescription.

"Really? That's it?"

"Well I could pull blood to test for any std and mono." Brain said and Beca's eyes shot wide, her head shaking back and forth.

"No thanks."

"Alright that's what I thought, now just a warning you need to take it easy for a few days, not too much running around and stuff you could just make it worse."

"Alright, take it easy, sounds good." Beca said taking the paper from the man, she nearly pulled Chloe out of the room.

"Cya Brain, thanks!" Chloe said, waving to the man.

"Tell Aubrey I said hey." The man said back and Chloe nodded.

x-x-x

Three days later Chloe watched Beca carefully at Bella's practice, she was certain Beca was still a little off her game. The girl had lost her fever and been able to keep food down since they went to the doctor but she still hadn't regained her full coloring back. Aubrey had them all lined up for their next choreographed lesson, Chloe watched as Beca missed a few steps, she looked at her girlfriend's face and saw the confusion and fear in her normally bright eyes.

"Jesus Beca! It's like you can't… hear the music…" Aubrey finished and ran over to Beca, Chloe was hot on her heels. "Beca.." Aubrey said but Beca was already looking at her, Chloe rolled her eyes and put a hand over her own ear, she locked eyes with Beca, her heart dropped when Beca shook her head no.

"Shit, Brain said the meds would take care of this." Chloe said forcing Beca to sit down. Almost instantly Beca's face lit up and she grinned.

"I'm good." She smirked and Chloe glared at her.

"You're still out for the rest of practice." Aubrey said and Beca's jaw dropped.

"I swear I'm fine Aub, I'm not going to die on you, promise."

"I don't care Beca you need to take this infection seriously, you could lose your hearing." Aubrey said and Beca growled but nodded. She allowed Chloe to pull her off the floor and into the theater seating. She ended up sidelined for another three days before Aubrey would think of letting her rejoin practice. Five days after the incident however, Beca didn't show up to practice and wasn't answering her phone. Aubrey allowed Chloe to go fetch her girlfriend, Chloe ended up at Beca's door four minutes later. She knocked and bounced back and forth on her feet hoping Beca wasn't sick again. The door swung open and Kimmy Jin smiled at her.

"She's asleep, she spent all night working on a mix." Kimmy Jin said and Chloe walked in to see Beca asleep her headphones still on, laptop slid off to the side. She smiled at Beca, tucking a strand of dark hair away from her face. "The mix is for you by the way." Kimmy Jin said smiling brightly.

"Really?" Kimmy Jin nodded and Chloe unplugged the headphones, restarting the mixes. She quickly and gently grabbed the headphones from Beca's head setting them safely on the desk, along with the laptop, volume all the way up. Grabbing her phone she sent Aubrey a text saying she wouldn't be back, Beca was ill again. It was a lie but it would be worth it. Chloe tucked herself in behind Beca, pulling the blankets over the two of them, she wrapped her arms tightly around the small woman. Over an hour latter all the mixes had played and Beca was starting to stir, she yawned and stiffened when she felt arms around her.

"Well welcome back to the waking world." Chloe said kissing Beca, "So nice of you to join us."

"How did you… never mind, I forgot you made friends with my roommate." Beca said and suddenly found herself pinned under Chloe.

"I love you, Beca Mitchell." Chloe said kissing her soundly.

"Yeah?" Beca grinned.

"I love you so much, because you are so amazing, you made me a mix.. many mixes."

"How did you know about those?" Beca asked and Chloe smiled again, she wouldn't rat out Kimmy Jin.

"You left your laptop up silly." Chloe grinned, leaning down, she kissed the tip of Beca's nose. "Its very cute and very sweet of you."

"I am not cute."

"Yeah, you kind of are now." Kimmy Jin said making both women look over at her. "Sorry I… didn't say anything."

"What she said." Chloe said kissing Beca again.

x-x-x

a/n: Any mistakes are all mine, it's like a seven day worked on story so yeah I'm too lazy to go too closely for mistakes. And just wait till a few chaps down the road. Love on me now… you might wanna kill me later. Hope you enjoyed!
