She was exhausted. After a long day of meeting after meeting after meeting, Beca slid the key into the lock. She was so tired, it seemed to take all her remaining strength to turn the key and unlock the door. She pushed the heavy door open and tossed her keys in the bowl that sat on the entry table. She pushed the door back with her butt until it stopped. Beca closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the door. Her bed was within reach. All she had to do was will herself off the door, down the hall, up the stair case, down another hallway and into their bedroom. She took a deep breath as she worked up the strength to make it to the most comfortable bed in the world. Beca exhaled and her eyes shot open at the sound of a faint moan. She picked her head up off the door and listened. She was exhausted so maybe it was in her head. After not hearing anything after several seconds, Beca pushed herself off the door and started to walk towards her bedroom. Her left foot had just landed on the bottom step when she heard it again. It was unmistakable. A moan and not of pain. She waited and then again she heard it and again. Beca took the steps two by two until she was at the top. The sounds growing louder and louder as she approached her and Chloe's bedroom. Beca reached for the doorknob, she turned it quickly and pushed the door open.

"What the fuck?" She yelled.

"Oh my God."

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Beca yelled as she started backing out of the room quickly.

"Wait Beca, please wait!"

Chloe rolled over and reached for her phone. She pulled it off the nightstand.

"Hey" She said her voice still laced with sleep.

"Chloe!" Beca yelled through the phone.

"What's wrong Babe?" Chloe asked suddenly wide awake.

"Fucking Aubrey" Beca was furious.

Chloe pulled the phone away from her ear as she heard the beeping of an incoming call. Seeing Aubrey's name appear on the screen, Chloe furrowed her brow.

"Bree's calling me" Chloe said as she put the phone back to her face. "What's going on?"

"Fucking Aubrey and Jesse." Beca said loudly.

"Becs, please calm down. I don't understand what you're so upset about and why Bree is calling me at three o'clock in the morning." Chloe sighed. "Tell me what's going on." Chloe requested calmly.

"Oh shit baby, I'm sorry. I forgot about the time difference" Beca apologized.

"It's okay. Just tell me what's going on Becs" Chloe breathed.

After my meetings today, I decided to come to the house in Malibu." Beca said trying to calm herself as her wife requested. "You asked me to check on the house while I was here and I just wanted to get out of LA for a while so I took a cab home. Anyway, I come inside and I'm about to go upstairs when I hear a sound."

"Okay?" Chloe said as she tried to follow Beca's story.

"It was kind of a" Beca felt her stomach flip at the recollection of the sound and the image that was now seared into her memory. "a moan."

"A moan?" Chloe questioned. She heard the beeping on the end of her line again and pulled the phone back to see Aubrey calling again.

"Yes a moan." Beca answered.

"What kind of moan?" Chloe asked thoroughly confused.

"You know, like a sex moan."

"Oh" Chloe replied.

"So I started to go upstairs and they got louder and louder. I followed them to our bedroom and when I opened the door, I saw" Beca paused pushing down the sick feeling in her stomach.

"What? You saw what?" Chloe was now hanging on every word.

"Aubrey and Jesse." Beca finally got out. "Having sex on our bed."

"What?" Chloe exclaimed.

"I fucking know Chlo" Beca said relieved that Chloe was on the same page as her.

"Oh my God" Chloe began to laugh.

"What?" Beca replied quickly. "Why are you laughing Chlo? It's not funny. It's disgusting." Beca argued as Chloe's laugh continued to flow out of her phone. "He was just like pounding into her." Beca said angrily, "Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick."

"Oh baby." Chloe admonished, "I'm sure it wasn't that bad."

"Wasn't that bad?" Beca couldn't believe Chloe wasn't angry. "They were having sex. Naked. With each other Chloe. On our bed."

"I know baby, I heard you the first time." Chloe teased.

"I can't believe you think this is funny."

"You do remember that you've had sex with Jesse?" Chloe teased.

"Oh my God" Beca said loudly.

"Wait, hold on babe, Aubrey's calling me again" Chloe said quickly into the phone.

"Don't you pu" she heard Beca's voice say before she hit the swap button.

Chloe shook her head quickly and got into character. She answered in her best, 'you just woke me out of a dead sleep voice', "Hello?"

"Chloe?" Aubrey said breathless into the phone.

"Bree?" Chloe played along. "It's 3 in the morning. Is everything okay? Are you okay?" Chloe bit her lip to keep from laughing.

"Have you spoken to Beca?" Aubrey asked quickly.

"No why?" Chloe asked still playing dumb, "Is something wrong with Beca?" Chloe escalated the concern in her voice.

"No, no she's fine." Aubrey paused. "I think."

"You think?" Chloe said loudly. "What's going on Aubrey?"

"She saw something that I would have rather her not have ever seen." Aubrey said knowing Chloe was going to ask for more details but hoping she wouldn't."

Chloe held back her laugh. "What did she see?"

Chloe waited but Aubrey didn't answer. She pulled the phone from her ear to make sure they were still connect. "Bree?"

"She walked in on me and Jesse" Aubrey whispered.

"Walked in on you and Jesse doing what?" Chloe asked enjoying teasing Aubrey.

"You know" Aubrey said hoping Chloe would get it.

"No, I don't?" Chloe replied innocently.

"We were having sex" Aubrey whispered barely audible.

Chloe made out clearly what she said and slapped her hand over her mouth to hold in her laugh. She took a breath, "I didn't hear you, what did you say?" she managed to ask.

"We were having sex" Aubrey tried just slightly louder.

"I'm sorry, it must be the connection. I can barely hear you Bree. What?" Chloe teased.

"Sex" Aubrey shouted. "We were having sex."

"Oh my God Aubrey. What was Beca doing barging into your house? Into your bedroom?" Chloe said trying to sound horrified.

"She didn't." Aubrey admitted.

"You guys better be fucking dressed" Chloe heard Beca's voice in the background of her call with Aubrey. "I'm coming in!"

"Bree?" Chloe asked.

"We're at your house." Aubrey admitted.

Beca must have just walked in when Aubrey said that. "In our house" Chloe could hear Beca's voice clearly, "In our fucking bed!"

Chloe couldn't hold her laughter back anymore.

"Stop laughing Chloe" Beca shouted.

"How do you know she's laughing?" Aubrey asked Beca as she held the phone to her ear listening to the redhead on the other end.

"She's been laughing since I called and told her 5 minutes ago" Beca said looking around the room. "Where's Jesse?" she asked.

Aubrey pointed toward the bathroom.

"You knew?" she asked Chloe.

"Sorry Bree." Chloe said between giggles.

"Don't you guys have your own house to do this in?" Beca asked, her voice sounding slightly more calm than she was 30 seconds ago.

"We just dropped Brady off at Jessica and Ashley's and were going to have a night out and you're house was just right down the street" Aubrey dropped her head as she blushed. "It's hard when you have kids and when you have a night away, you just kind of."

"Please stop talking" Beca interrupted. She turned toward the bathroom door and banged her fist on it four times. "You better have our sheets fucking dry cleaned Jesse."

"Okay" she heard come from the other side of the door.

"And stay out of my fucking house" Beca shouted.

"Bree" Chloe said calmly into the phone.

"Yes?" Aubrey asked hoping her best friend wasn't mad at her.

"How many times have you and Jesse used our house?" Chloe asked hoping this was the first time.

"Um" Aubrey hesitated.

"Aubrey!" Chloe said loudly.

"What?"

"How many?" Chloe demanded.

"Just a few times." Aubrey said shyly.

"How about I don't tell Beca and you promise to not do it again and have all the places you have done it professionally cleaned." Chloe offered knowing full well she would tell her wife everything she could mange to coax out of Aubrey in the future.

"Deal."

"Is my wife still there?" Chloe asked.

"I think she left." Aubrey replied. "I'm so sorry Chlo."

"It's fine Bree. It's weird but it's fine." Chloe said trying to ease her best friend.

"Beca's so mad."

"She'll be fine. She was just surprised and you know how she is. She get's embarrassed easily. She'll be fine." Chloe replied. "I better call her back though."

"Okay." Aubrey breathed as Jesse finally came out of the bathroom looking as if he was ready for Beca to jump out and punch him in the face.

"Clean up my house Bree" Chloe warned playfully.

"I will. Sorry Chlo."

"Bye Aubrey." Chloe said as she shook her head and hung up the phone. She quickly called Beca back and waited as it rang once.

"Seriously Chloe" Beca still sounded upset.

"Baby, it's okay. It's kind of funny."

"You didn't see it" Beca deadpanned.

"I'm sorry that you did babe" Chloe said trying not to burst into laughter again.

"We've slept with our daughter in that bed" Beca whined.

Chloe rolled her eyes, "it will be fine Beca. Where are you?" She asked changing the subject.

"In a cab." Beca sighed. "I just wanted to sleep in our bed."

"I'm sorry honey."

"I'm sorry I woke you up." Beca breathed. "How was your day?"

"It was good. Fin and I went to the park for a couple of hours. Then we painted a couple of pictures and watched a movie." Chloe recapped.

"The Lion King?" Beca asked knowing it was her daughter's favorite at the moment.

"Yes, I swear I quote that movie in my sleep" Chloe breathed.

"We need to burn that DVD" Beca said through a yawn.

Chloe giggled. "She'll get over it. Remember when she had Little Mermaid on repeat for a month."

"How could I possibly forget?" Beca smirked as she remembered. "I miss you guys."

"You'll be home in a couple days baby." Chloe said soothingly.

"I know." Beca agreed quietly.

"We miss you too, you know" Chloe said sweetly.

"I'll let you go babe. I'm sorry I woke you up." Beca yawned.

"Baby, you can wake me up anytime." Chloe said huskily.

Beca smiled. "I'll call you tomorrow okay?"

"You better."

"I love you." Beca smiled.

"I love you too." Chloe replied.

Chloe hung up the phone and rolled to place it back on her nightstand and picked up the white plastic stick. She returned to her back and looked up at the ceiling as she rubbed her belly softly with her right hand and held the plastic in her left looking at it intently as a wide smile spread across her face. She looked down at her flat stomach. "I can't wait to tell your mommy about you when she get's home" Chloe whispered.
