"Beca. Please. I'm so tired and I just want to get home and shower in my own shower and lay in our bed and not have people looking at my vag every 10 seconds, so could you please just drive a little faster?" Chloe whined as they slowly crept down the 101 on their way to Malibu.

"Safety first babe" Beca replied as she checked the rear view mirror. She smiled at the sight of her son sleeping peacefully in his car seat. Finley was next to him silently playing with one of her many stuffed whale toys.

Chloe leaned over to look at the speedometer. "You're going 45 miles per hour on the freeway Beca. At this rate someone is going to run us off the road." Chloe said as she watched another car speed past them blaring their horn.

Beca looked over to Chloe who had her head tilted expectedly. "Go" the redhead instructed.

Beca returned her eyes to the road with a sigh and pushed her foot on the gas gently.

Chloe watched the speedometer. "Oh my God. Pull over, I'm driving" she said loudly when the car only went 3 miles per hour faster.

"No we will be here soon enough. Just relax." Beca replied trying to keep her voice sweet.

Chloe crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back letting her head fall against the head rest. After a few tense moments of silence Beca spoke, "I've never driven a baby home from the hospital." She chanced a look at Chloe who rolled the back of her head against the seat to meet her wife's dark blue eyes. "I'd just like to get him home in one piece without having to take him right back."

Chloe rolled her eyes. She moved her head back to look out the window with a small smile.

3 days later Chloe sat on the small love seat in her son's nursery with the baby against her chest. She was patting his back gently waiting for him to burp after his latest meal. She looked around the room. It was perfect. The perfect mix of dark blue and soft grey. With red foxes painted throughout in different scenes. One was sitting under a white bark tree. One was curled up sleeping in tall grass. One mural had a baby and mama fox wrapped around each other and one with glasses, which seemed out of place but Chloe loved it. She glanced to the table in front of her. The book Finley had picked out which she learned had inspired the room was laying on the coffee table. She smiled as she thought of her daughter and how much she loved the little girl and how much she already loved her son. Her thoughts were interrupted when Beca walked into the room. She sat down slowly next to Chloe. Placing a quick kiss to her cheek before sinking into the furniture.

"They are finally gone." Beca breathed as her the back of her head rested back. "Just put Amy and Bumper in a cab. No more family and no more friends. Finally."

The little boy hiccupped and burped. Chloe looked over her shoulder to see a bit of spit up on the towel on her shoulder. She moved her son to a cradled position in her right arm and then removed the towel with her left hand. She balled it quickly so that she could wipe his mouth. He was almost asleep as she cleaned up his face and discarded the soft towel on the table in front of her. She leaned back into the couch and rested down on Beca who picked up her arm and pulled Chloe closer to her body.

"I'm so freaking tired." Beca whispered.

Chloe groaned in agreement.

"I don't remember being this tired with Fin." Beca whispered.

"Because we weren't. 6 months old is a lot different than 6 days old." Chloe whispered. "I remember seeing Em a few days after they brought Fin home from the hospital. She was exhausted." Chloe said as she closed her eyes quickly falling into the memory.

2 ½ years Ago

"Hey" Emma greeted, her voice heavy.

"Hi" Chloe said happily. "Is this a bad time?" Chloe asked.

"No, no" Emma said with a breath. "Come in" she said as she stepped to the side opening the door wide.

Chloe looked through the house looking for the new baby.

"She's up here" Emma said over her shoulder leading Chloe through the house towards the stair case.

Chloe dropped her bag on the kitchen counter and followed quickly. She tiptoed into the nursery just as Emma was pulling the newborn from the crib.

"Oh my gosh" Chloe whispered as Emma gently passed the baby over. "She's so beautiful." Chloe pressed a light kiss to her forehead. "And precious" Chloe cooed.

"And an insomniac" Emma added as she sat down slowly in a nearby rocking chair.

"That bad?" Chloe asked turning to her friend as she gently rocked the baby back and forth.

"I don't think I've slept for 8 total hours in the last two days." Emma said trying to think back. "She's up like every two hours crying because she's hungry and then she will eat and be awake for an hour or so and until she falls back to sleep. Then she'll wake up after she pooped and then someone will change her and then she's awake for a while, then back to sleep for a couple hours, then repeat." Emma explained.

Chloe listened but couldn't pull her eyes from the baby who looked so peaceful in her arms. "Where's Q?" Chloe asked.

"Asleep." Emma replied. "She just got back from dropping my parents at the airport. She's barely slept so I told her to go grab a nap."

"How she doing with the baby?" Chloe asked.

"She's great. She gets up with me when I nurse her even though there is nothing she can do. She still gets up and sits with me. She'll change her diaper and sit up with her till she goes back to sleep and then come back to bed." Emma said as she allowed herself to close her eyes. "I can't keep myself in bed though. I get up every time Finley wakes up. I don't know why. I know Quinn can handle it but I just don't want to miss anything. I think it's the same for her." Emma said softly.

"I got her if you want to go rest." Chloe said looking up to see Emma half asleep in the chair. "Are there bottles or something if she wakes up?" Chloe asked.

"I haven't started pumping yet." Emma said as she raised her head. "So currently, these are the only food source." Emma said as she pointed to her boobs.

Chloe giggled. "Does it hurt?" She asked.

"Not really hurt but my nipples are so freaking sore." Emma laughed to herself. "That kid loves to suck a nipple. Just like Quinn." Emma said catching a case of the giggles, probably due to exhaustion.

Chloe raised an eyebrow and then returned her gaze back to the baby.

"You don't mind?" Emma asked

"Not at all. I'd love to spend some time with this precious angel." Chloe said gently rubbing her nose to Finley's.

"I'm too tired to move." Emma said as she tried to snuggle herself into the wooden rocking chair, "but this chair sucks."

"Come on. Let's get you to your room." Chloe suggested. She giggled quietly as she watched Emma push herself to her feet. Emma walked up to her best friend who held her daughter in her arms. She placed a kiss to Finley's forehead and then kissed Chloe's cheek. "Thank you" Emma said sleepily before turning to walk out of the room slowly. Chloe followed behind her friend making sure she made it to her bed. Emma turned the corner to her and Quinn's bedroom. Chloe watched from the doorway as Emma kicked Quinn's shoes out of the middle of the floor. It appeared as if Quinn had slipped them off as she made her way to the bed leaving them in the middle of the floor. Quinn was passed out faced down on the bed with her feet hanging over the end and her arms spread out wide. She didn't even make it under the covers or out of her blue jeans and into something more comfortable before falling on the bed. Emma walked over to her side of the bed and pulled the blanket down. She picked up her wife's arm and tossed it into her side wildly.

Chloe sucked her lips into her mouth as she tried to hold her laughter as she watched closely.

"Move your ass over" Emma said as she smacked Quinn's butt. Quinn grumbled something and moved slightly. Emma climbed on the bed and pulled the covers over her shoulder laying on her side facing away from the doorway. Chloe watched as Quinn crawled up the bed and wrapped her body around Emma's spooning her tightly over the covers and pulling the blonde to her. Chloe backed out of the room and closed the door softly. She made it back to the nursery and into the rocking chair before Finley began to open her eyes.

"Hi" Chloe cooed. "Hi pretty girl."

PRESENT DAY

"And then she let out a cry like I've never heard before until this morning when it was time to feed him." Chloe said as she recalled the story for Beca who was sitting motionless. "I couldn't get her to settle down so I had to go wake Em up to feed him. Then Quinn got up and took over for me when I had to get back to set when Emma finally got a chance to lay down. But they were exhausted."

"Well we are going to be smarter than that. Now that we don't have to worry about company being here, we are going to get on a schedule. I'll get up at night and feed him but you're going to have to start pumping like today." Beca said through a yawn. "I'll worry about Fin and you take Bash. We can totally get through this if we work together."

Chloe smiled as she listened to Beca's plan.

"We made it through 3 years in the same house with Stacie's and Amy's sexual escapades and Flo and Lilly's craziness, so we can handle this, at least until they are old enough to fend for themselves." Beca pushed herself up on the couch. She reached for the boy. "Go pump." She said as she pulled the sleeping boy to her chest. She kissed the top of his head. Chloe leant up and kissed Beca's cheek. She got up and headed for the breast pump that was sitting across the room.

XxXxXx

"Come on buddy" Beca pleaded as she bounced her son against her chest. "Sshh ssshhh sshh" She said softly hoping to ease his crying quickly so he didn't wake up her wife and daughter at 3 am.

"Mommy?" Finley's voice cracked.

Beca turned around to see her daughter standing in her pajama's in the doorway.

"What are you doing up Fin?" Beca asked quickly.

Finley pointed to her two month old brother. "He is wreally loud." Finley said as she rubbed her eyes.

"I know. I'm sorry bug" Beca said sadly. "I'm trying to get him to be quiet and go back to sleep."

Finley stood motionless in the doorway of her brother's room as she watched her mom hold the baby. "I don't wike him" she said softly but Beca heard.

Beca's head shot up. "What did you say?" She asked over the crying baby.

"I don't wike him" Finley repeated challengingly.

"He's you're brother." Beca replied.

Finley shrugged.

Beca's eyes narrowed. "Why don't you like him?"

"He's a baby. He always is crywing and he dwools all over my toys and he smells." Finley said as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Twake him bwack to the hospitwal." She demanded.

"Shhhh Bash. Hush buddy" Beca whispered in her son's ear as she continued to bounce him. She narrowed her eyes at her daughter. "We aren't taking him back Finley. He's part of our family." Beca replied.

"No" Finley shouted loudly.

"Do not yell at me young lady" Beca said loudly trying not to be baited into another argument with the toddler. "He is not going anywhere. He'll stop crying when he gets a little older. Just like you did."

"No. I hate him" Finley said as she extended her arms to the floor quickly. Fists balled tightly.

"No ma'am." Beca yelled back. "We do not hate in this house."

"I hate him." Finley shouted at the top of her lungs.

"What is going on in here?" Chloe asked as she walked into the room.

Finley turned immediately towards her mama and erupted in tears as she wrapped her tiny arms around Chloe's hips and buried her head into her thigh.

"Come on Bash. Calm down buddy. Your sister is having a meltdown." Beca pleaded again to the boy who hiccupped loudly and continued crying.

Chloe bent down to pick up her daughter. The toddler getting heavier and heavier by the day. "What's wrong bug?" She asked the girl as she rubbed her back.

Finley wrapped her legs tightly around Chloe's middle and latched her arms around her neck. "I hate him."

Chloe looked up and made eye contact with Beca who shortly after meeting her wife's worried gaze turned and continued to bounce the boy who was starting to settle slightly.

"Why do you hate him baby?" Chloe asked softly.

She felt Finley shrug her shoulders but offer no verbal explanation. Chloe turned and left Sebastian's room. She carried Finley to her newly decorated aquarium themed room, which was a Christmas surprise from Beca, and sat down on the edge of Finley's bed. "Honey" Chloe said as she pried Finley's arms from around her neck. "Why do you hate Sebastian?" She asked calmly.

Finley dropped her head and shrugged her shoulder's again. She was the spitting image of Quinn but she had picked up on almost all of Beca's mannerisms.

"Sweetie" Chloe said as she placed a finger under Finley's chin, raising her head to look the little girl in the eye. "I know you don't hate your brother. I know you love him, so why would you say that you hate him baby?"

"Becwause" was all Finley offered at first.

"That's not good enough sweetie." Chloe replied. "Try again."

"He cwrys all the time" Finley replied weakly.

"That's because he is a baby" Chloe replied. "He doesn't know how to say words yet so he cries, but he won't cry forever sweetie. He will learn how to talk. Just like you. Maybe you can help him try to learn some words when he is old enough." Chloe offered.

"No" Finley replied with a sigh.

"No? You don't want to help him?" Chloe asked.

Finley shook her head.

"Why not?" Chloe whispered.

"I don't love him so I don't want to help him."

"Finley" Chloe said sternly without raising her voice. "I know that's not true. I know it can be hard when something new happens and things have to change but he is your brother and that means he is family and we love our family. No matter what. Even though they cry, we still love him."

"I don't" Finley said stubbornly.

"But mommy and I do. Don't you want to love him too? Like we do?" Chloe asked.

"Mommy doesn't love me anymowre." Finley said as her dark brown eyes filled with tears.

Chloe pulled back. "What?" She whispered.

"Mommy loves Bwash more than me." Finley dropped her head.

Beca walked into the room with anger in her eyes. Chloe shook her head quickly as Finley sat on her lap with her head hung down. She maintained eye contact with Beca as she spoke softly to Finley. "Mommy doesn't love Bash more than she love you baby."

Beca's face softened at Chloe's words. "Why do you think that baby?"

Finley shrugged again. "Becwause she onwly plways with him and she don't twake me to see the whales anymore." Finley looked up into her mama's crystal blue eyes. "She fowgot me." The toddler whispered.

"No baby. She didn't" Chloe said softly. "You're mommy loves you very much. But babies take a lot of work sweetie. Mommy has just been helping me." Chloe said feeling guilty.

Beca's heart physically hurt. In her chest. It hurt.

"But mommy doesn't twake me for ice crweam wanymore." Finley erupted into tears.

Chloe pulled her close and held her daughter tightly.

Beca dropped her head. It was true. Since Sebastian was born, her weekly excursions with Finley had stopped. She hadn't spent a day alone with Finley, just the two of them in two months. She hadn't noticed but Finley had.

"Listen to me baby" Chloe said. "No one loves you more than your mommy does. I promise you that."

"It's true." Beca said her voice cracking with emotion.

Finley turned in her mama's arms.

Beca walked into the room and sat next to Chloe on Finley's bed.

She reached over and tucked a dark strand of hair behind Finley's ear. "I am so sorry baby. I didn't mean to make you feel that way." Beca wiped a tear from her eye as Finley rested her head on Chloe's chest but looking Beca straight in the eye. "Since Bash was born, I haven't done a very good job of making time for just me and you like I used to and I'm sorry bug. I promise I will do better and maybe" Beca looked up at Chloe, silently asking for permission and receiving it in the form of a single nod, "Maybe you and I can do something tomorrow? Just the two of us?" Beca said returning her eyes to Finley's.

"Okway" Finley whispered.

"Okay?" Beca repeated.

Finley nodded and released her hold on Chloe. She crawled over into Beca's lap and wrapped herself around the brunette just as she had done with Chloe.

"I'm so sorry baby" Beca breathed into her hair.

"It's okway" Finley said sadly.

2 Months Later

"No Bwash, wike this" Chloe heard Finley's voice from the kitchen. She had left the two sitting in the living room while she prepared a snack for Fin. She heard the repetitive pounding on the small drum that Beca had recently bought Finley after she found the three year old pounding on any and all the surfaces in their house.

Finley had inherited Quinn's aptitude for music, if such thing is genetic, then Emma would be so happy because it was the reason they decided to use Quinn's eggs hoping that something like that would develop in their daughter. She was a natural. In the last month it seemed to explode in her. Everything was music and everything was about music. The toddler was obsessed. The days of her love of whales seemed to be put on the back burner. She still loved the animals but all those stuffed toys didn't make noise and since they didn't make noise, Finley couldn't create anything with them. And if Finley couldn't create music and sounds with them then she wasn't interested. Three days ago, Chloe was sure they were going to have to rush Finley to the emergency room after she found the little girl rhythmically biting a carrot by the end of it until her mouth was impossible full of the vegetable. She almost choked until Chloe made her spit it all out of her mouth and promise to never do that again.

Chloe listened as Finley rhythmically pounded on the instrument stringing the sounds together. She was amazed at how the toddler could create the music and then memorize it and replay it exactly the same way over and over again. Chloe grabbed the tray that contained apples, grapes and small cubes of cheese for Fin and walked into the living room just in time to see Finley hand one of hard plastic drum sticks to her brother who had recently mastered the art of sitting up for approximately 3 minutes before falling over. He wrapped his chubby hand around the stick tightly and waved it wildly through the air accidently hitting himself in the head, which immediately lead to an ear piercing cry. Finley's eyes widened as she reached for the stick that her brother dropped immediately to the ground.

"Oh baby" Chloe said as she sat the tray on the coffee table. "It's okay." She said as she reached down to the baby and pulled him up into her arms.

"I'm sorry" Finley said sadly feeling guilty for her brother hurting himself and now crying.

"It's okay bug. It's not your fault. It was just an accident." Chloe said calmly to the little girl. "Take a break baby and eat your snack" Chloe said pointing to the tray. She sat back on the couch with Sebastian pressed tightly against her. "It's okay handsome." She whispered in the baby's ear and softly kissing the side of his head. His brown hair was beginning to grow in but his eyes had remained bright blue, like hers. "Are you hungry sweetie?" She cooed in his ear. It was time for his 3 pm feeding. Chloe pulled up her t-shirt and pulled down the flap of her nursing bra. Sebastian nuzzled into his mother's chest and latched on quickly immediately quieting his cry. Chloe sat watching Finley tap a pattern on the different cubes of cheese she had placed on her plastic plate that looked like a record.

"Hello?" Beca said as she walked into the house dropping her keys in the bowl on the table by the door.

"In here?" Chloe called back from the living room.

Beca walked into the room quickly. She bent over the couch placing a quick kiss on Chloe's waiting lips before rounding the couch and picking up Finley quickly lifting her off the ground.

"You're getting to big" Beca teased as she hoisted the 24 pound 3 year old up in the air. "Stop growing" Beca demanded in a silly voice as she gently shook Finley who laughed hysterically.

"I can't!" Finley cried between laughs.

Beca brought the girl down and kissed. "Hey bug" She greeted.

"Hi" Finley replied with adoration in her eyes.

"What are you guys doing?" Beca asked as she plopped down on the couch with Finley next to her wife and baby.

"Snack time" Chloe said as she looked back over to Beca.

"Sooooo" Beca sang. "Maybe we could ditch these two monsters for a night and have some grown up time?" She asked softly.

"God yes" Chloe practically moaned. "I need to feel like a human being again instead of just a" she paused as she searched for the right words, "food source."

"Oh baby I'm sorry." Beca said leaning into Chloe kissing her softly.

"Mommy" Finley said looking at her two mom's kissing.

Beca pulled back from Chloe and turned toward Finley.

"Will you help me pway mwusic?" Finley asked.

Beca was about to answer when Chloe interrupted her. "Actually, I was thinking you could come with me bug."

"Where?" Beca asked turning to Chloe.

"I wanted to go by Q and Em's to look for one of Emma's diaries." Chloe replied. "I also thought that I could look to see if there was anything in Quinn's music room that might be appropriate for" her eyes darted to Finley who sat watching them.

"Okay" Beca said, "how about you two go and get what you need and then by the time you get back, I'll have dinner for this one ready" Beca tickled Finley who squealed. "And I'll get us a babysitter and then we can go out after they get settled in for the night. Sound good?"

"Sounds great" Chloe replied with an excited smile.

Sebastian pulled back from Chloe, who covered herself quickly and sat the baby up to burp him.

"Good, it's a date then" Beca answered with a grin.

AN: Hey guys! Sorry this update took so long. I just got back from the best vacation I've ever taken. It was amazing. Anyway, I'm back and rested and almost finished here. So let me know what you guys are thinking about this story.
