Due to these reviews:

"Could you do more one shot with domestic Bechloe and babies. Please!"

"Could you please do another family shot? Love how you created Ava."

"Oh my ovaries! Bechloe as moms was so cute. Would love to read more in this universe :)"

… I'll give it a bash.

Nap Buddies (on tour)

At first, Beca wasn't all that keen on it. As soon as Chloe had suggested it, Beca felt something in her gut that made her think it wouldn't be a good idea, but of course, Chloe was quickly chipping away at her resolve. Whether it was with the puppy dog eyes, or those ridiculously delicate kisses pressed to her neck, Beca always broke; failing to hold her ground for any longer than a day.

"C'mon, babe, it makes so much sense. Ava is off school, I'm off work – it's the perfect opportunity!" Chloe practically beamed.

"I don't know, Chlo – it might not exactly be very child friendly?" Beca shrugged thoughtfully.

When Emily had walked out of her record deal and abruptly ended her contract at the start of the year, the former Bella had called Beca in sheer panic, begging the music producer to temporarily manage her. It was now reaching month nine and neither of them were making any new arrangements.

A couple of months ago, Beca had managed to snag Emily a three-month tour of Northern America for the summer. The album Emily wrote and Beca produced at the beginning of February was selling fast and on its way to becoming a multi-platinum record, so the tour was more than just well deserved.

"You can stay at hotels and the bus will have seatbelts – Ava will be fine, Becs."

Beca let her head drop to the headboard of the bed as she let out a sigh. She still wasn't convinced, but understood where Chloe was coming from. As Emily's manager, Beca had no choice but to support her client on tour and the only way to do that successfully was being there in the flesh for the full three months.

Leaving Chloe and Ava for the duration of the summer was daunting and something Beca was dreading. Goodbyes were never easy and trying to explain the concept of a tour and her absence to her five-year-old daughter would break her heart.

Then there was Chloe; the woman that had been by her side since college. If Beca was to actually think about it, they had only ever spent a week apart at the most – she was more than sure eight weeks and two days would kill her.

"C'mon, you know it could work."

Chloe was shuffling on the mattress, whispering the words into Beca's ear and letting her lips brush against it. The brunette was taking a deep breath, in an attempt to keep her focus.

"Yeah, but I'll be working and you'll be on a bus all the time" Beca reasoned, her voice shakier than she would have liked.

Clearly aware of the cracks in Beca's resolve, Chloe was moving to straddle her and resting her arms around her neck with a wide grin. The redhead let her lips hover over her girlfriend's for a moment, loving the way they automatically parted.

"We'll manage. I won't make it through three months without you" she dragged out, her tone clouding Beca's judgement.

Beca was moving closer to meet Chloe's lips before mumbling out a quick "OK" but the redhead was pulling away with an impossibly wider smile, "Really?" she asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I mean it might be a bit confusing for Ava at first, but I'd much rather have you guys with me instead of at home for three months, you know?"

Chloe let out a high pitched squeal as she clapped her hands like some sort of happy seal, bouncing on Beca's knee.

"Dude, don't wake up sleeping beauty" Beca reminded, pointing to the wall separating theirs and Ava's room, shaking her head good-naturedly.

"Sorry" Chloe whispered, regaineing her balance.

"Now, shut up and kiss me" Beca breathed out with a smirk.

Chloe was walking down the corridor, keycard in hand, already excited to spend a night with her little family. When she had suggested joining Beca on the tour with Ava, her girlfriend had been visibly reluctant, but Chloe was more than proud of herself for convincing Beca otherwise.

The past month had been flown by and despite the sometimes stressful journeys and Ava's little bouts of homesickness, Chloe was more than sure this was a good call. Whenever Beca got caught up in work or Ava asked to go home, the redhead would close her eyes and imagine how she and her daughter would be feeling if they were back in LA and patiently waiting for Beca's return.

Yeah, she knew this was a much better set up.

During the day, Chloe would plan days out to tourist attractions or aquariums for Ava – sometimes Beca was able to come a long but sometimes she wasn't and Chloe was more than understanding about Beca and her work commitments. At night, they would catch a little of the show or watch a movie, before putting Ava to bed. Later, Beca would let herself in and crawl into bed – all of the travelling was more than worth it for that and the three of them being together.

Beca had praised Chloe on more than several occasions on her ability to create a solid and constant routine for their daughter despite the fact that they were in different cities almost every day.

She scanned her card against the hotel door, movies in hand and an excitement settling the pit of her stomach; family night was by far her favourite night, ever.

"Beca, you better have that popcorn ready" she announced, closing the door behind her and slipping out her shoes.

When Chloe rounded the corner and caught a glimpse of the couch, she was overwhelmed with cuteness.

Beca was sprawled out, arm dangling off the side and soft snores leaving her lips. Ava was curled up on top of her, sleeping soundly and her hand submerged in the bowl of uneaten popcorn. The image made Chloe's heart swell with both appreciation and love and another reason her idea to join the tour was the one of the best she had ever made.

At home this was a common occurrence. Beca was and always had been a serial napper; during college it was borderline ridiculous and Chloe had even been dragged into it herself. Whenever she would knock on Beca's dorm door in order to wake her up, the brunette would let her in and somehow convince her to lay down with her at the drop of a hat. A sleepy Beca was soft, warm and a cuddler; how could Chloe possibly refuse?!

It seemed over the years, Ava had exactly the same habit. As a baby, she would sleep anywhere; during her dinner, during playtime, you know name it; Ava slept.

"But Mom says we're nap buddies."

Those words melted Chloe's heart the moment they left her daughters mouth and it still carried the full effect, even two years later.

As Chloe quietly set the DVDs down on the table, Ava was peeping through one eye with a sleepy smile, nestling further into Beca's chest and gesturing Chloe to join them. As tempting as it was, Chloe knew she had to fix something for dinner soon, before the "nap buddies" got cranky.

"Mom, come'ere."

It was then Beca was stirring, wrapping her arms protectively around her daughter and opening her eyes. She shot Chloe the same sleepy smile as Ava, before whispering a quiet "sorry" with a guilty smile.

Chloe simply laughed, picking up the room service pamphlet and scanning the menu with an infectious smile.

"Go and get Mommy to nap with us" Beca mumbled into Ava's ear as she pressed a kiss to her cheek and moved the bowl of popcorn onto the table.

There was no need to ask twice, as the toddler was on her feet, pushing off Beca's stomach causing her to let out a surprised yelp that quickly developed into a laugh. Ava was pulling at Chloe's hand and using all of her strength to drag her closer to the sofa, "Nap" she demanded with a cheeky grin very similar to Beca's.

As easy as it was for Chloe to convince Beca to do something, it was twice as easy for Ava to change Chloe's mind, so she was willingly being dragged closer to a very pleased Beca.

"Nap time!" Beca and Ava yelled out in unison, as Beca pulled the redhead on top of her and rolled her to the other side. Their daughter was then jumping on them both and plopping herself down in the middle of them, half of her weight on each of her parent's sides.

Beca let out a content sigh, turning her head to face Chloe, "This was the greatest idea you've ever had" she smiled.

"I told you it made sense" Chloe smirked, wrapping her arms around Ava and pressing sloppy kisses to her neck, causing her to giggle and try and wriggle out of her grip.
