This chapter is more focused on Aubrey and Stacie's relationship. I know that this story is mostly based on Bechloe but I feel like this relationship has a plot that I do need to work out aswell I promise to put in some Bechloe fluff soon!

Good Or Bad Luck: Chapter 38

ONE WEEK LATER

Aubrey lets out a frustrated groan as she tries to reach a cup from the lowest cupboard. Stacie had rearranged everything so the blonde could get anything at any time yet at this moment it seemed like more of a hassle. "Come on… come on…" Aubrey has her tongue sticking out. She accidentally pushed the cup further into the cupboard. Any other day she would have taken another cup but sadly all the others are in the dishwasher. The blonde slams her hand down on the counter in frustration.

If Stacie would have been at home at that particular moment she would have burst into the kitchen making sure everything was alright. But she wasn't home. No, the brunette was on her way to pick up her sort of ex who could possibly help her walk again. And she isn't jealous… ok no she's extremely jealous. Why didn't she want her to come? Oh yeah because she's in this stupid wheelchair.

A stray tear rolls down Aubrey's cheek and she quickly wipes it away. She wasn't going to cry about it anymore, she had already shed more than enough tears about the situation and wasn't going to start again. Aubrey rolls herself to the little office where she has all of the cases she's currently working on. She looks down at the post-it note on top of the file.

Call Jessica or Ashley!
The Johnson file mix up?!

Aubrey lets out a sigh and picks up her phone. Jessica is supposed to be at the office today so making the call should be easy.

*Phone Call*

Jessica: "Davis ad associates criminal defense office, Jessica Smith speaking?"

Aubrey: "Hi Jessica, it's Aubrey Posen. I wanted to ask if there was any possibility there has been mix up with the files?"

Jessica: "I don't think so, everything was correct the last time we checked."

Aubrey: "Could you maybe check again? Because the Johnson file is missing its content and I thought maybe it was misplaced?"

Jessica: "That's impossible, all the files get locked up at night and we brought you the file this morning."

Aubrey: Yes, I know, that's why I thought it was so strange."

Jessica: "I'll speak to mister Davis, maybe he knows what happened."

Aubrey: "Thank you very much Jessica, I really appreciate it."

Jessica: "You're welcome… Oh before I forget, did you check the mail today? Because something interesting came in and I think you, Stacie and Chloe will be very happy."

Aubrey: "No I haven't, Stacie will bring the mail up when she comes back home."

Jessica: "Alright, anyway I have to go. Mister Davis just ended his meeting so I'll go ask him about the file."

Aubrey: "Thank you Jessica, you're the best."

*End Phone Call*

Aubrey places her phone in her lap and rolls herself back into the living room. Stacie should be arriving any moment. As soon as that thought pops up into her head she hears a key in the door. As the door opens laughter fills the room. Aubrey raises her brow looking at the two women walking inside. "Hi! You must be Aubrey, it's so nice to finally meet you!" The cheery black haired woman takes 3 huge steps and stops right in front of the blonde. "Uh likewise."

"Hey Bree, there's some mail from Barden. Did you know about this?" Stacie hands her girlfriend the letters. "No I didn't, I wasn't expecting anything. I haven't heard from Barden in a while, and Chloe didn't mention anything after she went there to shoot Emily's music video." Stacie hums and leans down to press a gentle kiss on the blonde's lips. "Why don't you open them?" Stacie asks. "Sure but uhm Stace? Could you get me a glass of water? I uhm couldn't-"

"Sure no worries I'll get you a glass. Do you want something May?" The visitor shakes her head. "No thanks." Stacie nods and heads to the kitchen to grab everything she needs. "How was your flight?" Aubrey asks, not wanting to sit in uncomfortable silence. "It was great… but I know you're waiting to hear about the implant so I guess I better show you." May pulls her bag onto her lap and pulls out a green folder. "I do have to warn you, this is only in its experimental fase."

Aubrey nods, knowing very well that this might not work. "This implant won't make you walk but it will stimulate your nerves. It's designed for people just like you, people who are diagnosed with temporary paralysis. If this works we might be one step closer to find a way to help people have been fully paralyzed." Aubrey listens to the explanation. "What would be the procedure?" She asks, having made up her mind last week when Stacie told her. "I have spoken with your doctor and he has given me the clear to use the hospital when the time is right."

"And when would that be?" Aubrey asks a little too eagerly. "We first have to go through the paperwork. We also need to talk about the complications that might occur." May's smile drops slightly. "I don't want to scare you but the procedure can be dangerous and for most I want to make sure it's safe for you. I would never want to hurt someone who means so much to Stacie. " Aubrey raises her brow with a confused smile. "May and I share some history, I told you about that. But she and I never shared what we share Bree." May nods her head.

Stacie hands her girlfriend her glass of water before sitting down on the couch. "Is it alright if I call Tamara? I promised to call when I got here." Stacie chuckles. "Sure, tell her I said hi." May takes her phone out of her bag. "Oh the guest room is up stairs, first door on the right." The black haired girl stands up and makes her way up the stairs.

Stacie and Aubrey follow her up with their eyes to then settle in a comfortable silence. Aubrey is the first to speak up. "Stacie I know that the procedure can be dangerous and I know that we have talked about the risks but I want to do it either way. I'm done feeling helpless… hell I couldn't even get a stupid cup out of the cupboard. I can't do it anymore Stacie I love you too much to make you keep going through this."

Aubrey tries to roll her chair away but gets stopped by Stacie. "Hey, I don't care if you can walk or not. I love you for who you are. I can't say I understand your frustration but I want to be here for you. Please consider all the option before making up your mind? I don't want something to happen to you." Aubrey rolls her eyes but there's a hint of a smile and fear behind them. "Bree… please?" The blonde nods her head and holds out her arms so her girlfriend can climb onto her lap. The two stay like that until May makes her way back down.

"Tamara says hi." Stacie chuckles at the lost face Aubrey pulls. "Tamara is May's wife." Aubrey lets out a soft 'oh', making Stacie and May laugh. "We met thanks to Stacie. She introduced us at a party." May explains. "At the time we were 'close' but we knew we weren't meant to be. If it weren't for Stacie I wouldn't be the happiest woman alive right now." Aubrey has a gentle smile curling up her lips as she looks at her girlfriend. Deep inside she hopes that one day she and Stacie will talk about each other with the same passion May is talking about Tamara.

Stacie picks up the file from the kitchen table. "If Aubrey would agree to the procedure when would you start?" May sits up straighter and takes a deep breath. "Everything is set, the implant is being transferred tomorrow. We can make an appointment at the hospital to place the implant. I just need you to read over the papers and sign them." Aubrey nods her head. "I would really like to read them and plan the surgery as soon as possible."

"Before we can do the surgery I'll have to run some tests but we can do those any time. When those are done we can get you prepped for the implant." May hands Aubrey the correct files to read through. "Take your time there's no rush."

Stacie tucks Aubrey in before sliding into her own spot. The brunette slides closer and wraps her arms around her girlfriend. "I can't believe you actually signed the forms." No matter how hard Stacie tries she can't keep the worry out of her voice. Aubrey runs her fingers through the brown locks next to her and presses a kiss on top of the head. "I know you're scared but we need to do this… I need to do this. Everything is going to be fine, I promise."

"I know, I guess I'm just not ready to see you in a hospital bed, like ever again. And also, how do you reckon we tell Beca and Chloe the big news?" Aubrey thinks about the question and shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe we should invite them over for dinner?" She suggests. "Yes and we can discuss the letter from Barden." Aubrey's eyes widen. "Oh god, I forgot to open the letters." Stacie chuckles and rolls over to her side of the bed and grabs the letters from her bedside table.

Reunion Barden University Bellas

Dear Aubrey Posen:

Some of us haven't seen each other since our last reunion or since we studied together and some of us live near each other, but this is everyone's chance to get together to celebrate the 75 year existence of the Barden Bellas.

We have arranged a three day celebration starting at 6:00pm on 5 October for a family-friendly get-together, dinner and dancing at the BU Auditorium. This is your chance to dress-up a bit. The next day we have arranged a city trip for the whole family as well as swimming and kayaking and lunch on the beach. Feel free to dress as casually as you want.

In order to make this day special, we would like to know as soon as possible if you will attend and bring your family. Please fill out the enclosed registration form and return it to me with $50 per adult that will attend. Children under 18 years are free. You can get more information and tips about discount hotel reservations on our website .com.

Hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Barden University

Aubrey is buzzing in her spot in the bed. "This is aca-awesome!" Stacie chuckles. "I guess we can start planning our schedules together with Beca and Chloe." Aubrey rolls her eyes playfully and nuzzles closer to Stacie. "We will talk to them tomorrow but right now I want to cuddle with my girlfriend." Stacie doesn't have to be told that a second time as she pulls her girlfriend in for a tight hug.
