A/N: Alright, I mentioned in the first chapter that there might be a surprise in this one, if I could work it in. Well, I worked it in. I really didn't know if I could realistically get the three girls together as I've never done a true polyamory piece and I'm not polyamorous (my only one was a soul-mate piece that I didn't have to deal with the three people coming together on their own). Well, I kinda got it done … not my best work and I think I gloss over some things too much and I couldn't help but keep Beca a smart ass through parts of it (although I think she just might really act like that), It's a little rushed in places, sorry about that. Also, my apologies in advance if I really fucked something up.

So, in summary..this is changing to an ABE piece, so if polyamory bothers you please find the nearest exit and vacate the ride (and thank you for reading thus far). I am sorry to see you go, but I do understand as there are a few types of pieces that I shy away from myself. I have also changed the pairing in the 'header' to reflect this change in the piece.

Disclaimer: As always, nothing is owned by me…well I do actually own a couple of cars outright…but I digress, I own nothing related to Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2 or Pitch Perfect 3 and I make nothing from writing this.

The girls settled into somewhat of a routine. Their days spent in various combinations of ones, twos and three. Beca and Emily would work together on some music together while Aubrey did some research on prospective projects for Beca or Emily, Beca would go into the studio while Aubrey and Emily shopped, or the three girls would spend the evening binge watching their latest favorite show (which seemed to vary week to week).

This particular week found the three girls starting up Netflix to continue watching Supernatural. They settled in to watch a few episodes, Aubrey sat in one corner of the couch as Beca leaned against her, her head resting on the blonde's shoulder. Emily sat on the other side of the couch, legs tucked up so that her feet brushed against Beca's leg.

About half-way through the second episode, Emily started getting uncomfortable so she flipped around and lay down with her knees tucked up to her chest, her head resting on Beca's legs. Beca just smiled down at the younger girl as she wiggled a bit to get comfortable before tipping her head back to give her girlfriend a quick kiss on the cheek. Aubrey tightened her arm in response, pulling the smaller girl a little tighter against her side. By the end of the second episode, Beca's fingers were absently carding through Emily's hair, much to the enjoyment of the younger girl.

Evenings like that became more frequent, the three girls sprawled over and against each other on the couch or floor as they relaxed. It was on one of these evenings, Beca was sitting against one arm of the couch, Aubrey's head in her lap, her fingers absently moving through the blonde hair. Aubrey was stretched out on the couch, her head in Beca's lap while her feet rested in Emily's lap, where Emily was currently rubbing her feet. Aubrey let out a low moan as Emily's thumb rubbed over a tight spot in the arch of her foot, making Emily blush slightly. The small moans were also doing something to Beca, so she needed to distract herself a little. She looked over to Emily, "So Ems, how is the job search going?"

Emily's blush got deeper, "Umm, yah. So with the move here and the excitement of writing with you, I forgot to put in any applications right away." As Aubrey shifted in her lap to sit up, Emily squeezed her feet to keep her in place, "No, no…I did finally apply to a few, but I was too late for the openings they had in the Fall. A couple have part-time positions opening in the spring but I won't be able to get anything permanent until next school year."

Beca looked down at Aubrey and found a crinkle of concern on her girlfriend's forehead. Beca just gave a little shrug to the blonde before looking back to Emily, "Don't worry Ems, we'll figure something out."

Emily shrugged, looking a little dejected, "It's not your fault. Maybe I'll just move back in with my parents and get a part-time position close to home." Beca and Aubrey shared another look, but didn't say anything when Emily suddenly stood up, "I'm kinda tired. I'm gonna head to bed." The two older girls both said goodnight and then went into their own thoughts as Beca moved her hand back to run absently through Aubrey's hair again.

The two women got ready for bed in silence, something really unusual for them. When they finally slid under the covers, Aubrey curled up against Beca and hummed as the smaller girl's arm snaked around her waist. They lay there for a couple of minutes before Beca finally broke the silence, "Does it make me a bad person that I don't want Emily to leave? We have plenty of room here and she could keep writing for us." Aubrey lay quietly for a minute until Beca nudged her, "Bree?"

Aubrey gave a quiet sigh, "I have a question for you and I need you to think about it and answer it honestly. Can you promise me that?"

Beca nodded tentatively against Aubrey, answering "Yes."

Aubrey rolled over under Beca's arm, looking her in the eye as she asked, "Do you have feelings for Emily? I've seen the way you too look at each other and those looks have gotten more frequent lately."

Beca's eyes flicked immediately away from Aubrey's penetrating stare. She worried her lower lip with her teeth as she thought about lying, but they had always promised to be honest and if she couldn't keep that promise then she didn't deserve to be in this relationship. So she finally looked back into Aubrey's eyes, which hadn't wavered from their position, "Yes, I do. But it doesn't mean anything baby. People have different feelings for others all the time and don't act on them. I love you and will always be faithful to you."

Aubrey gave one of her patented nods, "I know that Becs, but I've been doing some research on open relationships and what would you say if I said it was okay for you to date Emily?"

Beca looked at her like she had grown a second, or even third, head. She sputtered, "What? No Bree, I don't need to date Emily. I don't know if I could do that or even handle it if you dated someone else."

Aubrey gave a little shrug, "What if I was dating Emily too? Would that change your mind?"

Beca lifted her arm from its position draped over Aubrey's waist and wiped her hand down her face, making an exasperated noise into it. She looked hard at Aubrey, "So, you have feelings for Emily too?"

Aubrey looked as nervous as Beca felt when she answered the same question. Aubrey even mimicked the worrying of her lower lip before she answered, "Yes, I do."

Beca chuckled as she dropped her forehead against Aubrey's, "How can I be so fucking clueless?"

Aubrey laughed at the smaller girl's response, tipping her head up to brush a quick kiss over her lips, "It's a normal state for you baby. It's one of the things that makes you…you."

Beca pulled back and smiled at her girlfriend, "So, you'd like to try dating Emily?"

Aubrey shrugged, "Well, I figure she's already so much a part of our lives that this would just be a slight shift."

Beca smiled, "True. We have to make sure we keep talking about this and if anything makes us uncomfortable we hash it out immediately. I don't want this to ruin what we already have Bree."

Aubrey nods, "Agreed. Now the hard part, bringing it up to Emily."

Beca leaned in and kissed Aubrey, "Worry about that tomorrow. I need a little of your attention now." Aubrey smirked into the kiss, but proceeded to give Beca all of her attention until they finally drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

The next day passed far too slowly for the two girls. They had decided to wait until that evening to broach the subject with Emily, and the day just seemed to drag on. Emily was beginning to get worried she had done something wrong as the two older girls were acting very strange around her. The worry came to a head as they were sitting on the couch, finishing their wine from dinner. Emily looked up to see Beca making a weird set of eyes at Aubrey and then Aubrey tilted her head to the side, almost like she was motioning towards her. Emily sighed, "Okay, did I do something wrong? Because you two are acting really strange."

This odd bark-like laugh erupted out of Beca causing her to cover her mouth. Aubrey just looked at her girlfriend and shook her head, "Oh my God Beca you are lucky I love you. Not only are you oblivious but you really have no clue how to act around women."

Emily looked back and forth between the two women, even more confused. Suddenly Beca slid towards her and placed her two hands on Emily's cheeks, muttering, "Please don't hate me," before she pulled the younger girl in and gently kissed her.

The kiss took Emily by surprise, but then her mind realized, 'Holy shit, she was kissing Beca!' and her lips took on a life of their own, responding to Beca's lips, deepening the kiss. Then her mind fully caught up, 'Holy fuck, I'm kissing Beca in front of Aubrey!' and she pushed Beca back stuttering, "Beca no, we can't. What about Aubrey?" She looked to the end of the couch, but Aubrey wasn't there. Emily panicked, turning her head back and forth only to find Aubrey sitting on the floor next to her. Emily stuttered out, "I'm s-s-s-so sorry Aubrey."

Aubrey took her hand, quietly hushing the panicked girl, "Shhhhh, it's okay Emily. Shhh, my girlfriend just has no tact," which earned Beca a slap from Aubrey as she calmed the younger girl. When Emily had calmed a bit, Aubrey stroked her cheek before turning to Beca, "You were supposed to use your words first."

Beca looked sheepish, "Sorry. You know I suck with words and I thought that might be a better start."

Aubrey raised her eyebrow, "And how did that turn out?"

Emily prevented any response by yelling, "Guys!"

Aubrey chuckled as she looked back at Emily, "Sorry, Beca can be a bit distracting."

Emily muttered under her breath, "Don't I know it." That earned her a smile from Aubrey.

Aubrey stroked her cheek again, "What Beca should have started with is that we like you Emily, both of us."

Emily jumped to the wrong conclusion (but somewhat obvious one, given the start of the 'conversation'), "Oh, so you guys thought you'd see if I'd like a threesome with you."

Beca smirked, "Well I for one wouldn't object to a threesome."

Aubrey smacked her, "So not the time Mitchell."

Beca laughed before turning to Emily, "Not exactly Ems. We'd like to try dating, all three of us. Aubrey and I both really like you Ems and we don't want to think about how empty our lives will be when you go back home. So we'd like to try this…" she motioned in a triangle between the three of them, "and maybe convince you that your home is here, not North Carolina."

Emily smirked, "So…a threesome."

Aubrey huffed, "You're going to be as bad as Beca, aren't you?"

Emily shrugged, a huge smile on her face, "So, how does this work? Can I kiss either of you any time I want?"

Beca laughed at how quickly the other girl had seemed alright with the idea while Aubrey chuckled, "Yes, it does, but …" She didn't get to finish her thought as Emily pulled Aubrey in for a soft kiss, effectively shutting the blonde up for a second. Aubrey melted into the kiss, her hand slipping up to the back of Emily's neck as her tongue teased Emily's out.

When the two girls broke the kiss, they just sat there kind of looking at each other until Beca whispered, "Holy fuck was that hot." The two girls leaned in, resting their foreheads against each other and turned towards Beca. Aubrey just kind of moved her head back and forth against Emily's head as a form of shaking it at her girlfriend, well one of her girlfriends now.

Beca moved in, wrapping her arms around both girls and giving them quick kisses, "Ok, now that the hard part is out of the way, we really should talk about us." The three girls moved back up to the couch and spent the rest of the evening alternating between discussing how they envisioned this working out and sharing kisses with each other.
