Chloe pulled out the storage box from Emma's closet. She pulled out the stack of journals that she had read through until she reached the last one. Chloe flipped quickly through the leather book. After her and Beca split for a few months after Beca found out about the Tom incident, Chloe had returned all of Emma's diaries to her closet and the storage box she had found them. She wasn't interested in finishing her friends love story when her own was falling apart around her but she had recently been wanting to pick the diary back up. So here she was in Emma's closet with the book in her hand.
Chloe slid the box back under a shelf before she turned around and flipped the light off. She walked out of the door and closed it behind her.
"What are you doing bug?" Chloe asked seeing Finley standing with her back to her holding something in her hands.
Finley turned around as her mama approached. "What's?" Chloe began to ask but stopped at the framed photo of Quinn and Emma in her tiny hands.
Finley's eyes met Chloe's. She could see the confusion in the little girl's eyes. The dark brown ones moved back to the picture.
"Bug?" Chloe whispered as she squatted down next to her daughter.
"Wooks wike me" Finley whispered.
"That is Emma" Chloe said as she pointed to the blonde in the photo who was standing in front of her fiancé on a beach in Hawaii a couple of days before their wedding. Chloe couldn't remember what was said that was so funny but both of the women in the picture were smiling and laughing. "She was one of my very best friends in the whole wide world." Chloe said softly. She swallowed the lump in her throat before she pointed to the taller dark haired woman in the photo who stood behind the blonde with her arms wrapped around Emma. "That is your mommy's best friend." Chloe ran her finger over Quinn's face in the picture. "Her name was Quinn and she" Chloe couldn't finish. She caught herself tearing up and didn't want to cry in front of her daughter.
"Qwin" Finley tried out the name. She pointed to the picture honing in on one of the dark haired woman's features. "She has eyes wike mine." Finley turned and pointed to her own eye looking at Chloe.
It was probably innocent and Chloe thought she may be reading too much into it until Finley pointed to her own eye. "You have bwue eyes wike Bwash and wike mommy."
"Yes baby." Chloe answered.
"Mine are brwown. They diffwent" Finley's brow scrunched and she returned her gaze back to the photo.
Chloe placed a soft kiss to the side of Finley's head. "Come on baby" Chloe said reaching for the photo. Finley released the frame and Chloe put it back in its place on the bed side table. "I want to show you something." She stood up and held her hand out and Finley reached up and grabbed it immediately.
Chloe lead the girl through the door of Quinn's music room. She flipped on the light switch and looked down at her daughter who looked around the room. "This is a very special place" Chloe said squatting down in front of Finley again. "There are so many instruments in here that you can learn to play." Chloe said as she watched Finley look around the room. "Would you like to pick one out to take home?"
Finley nodded quickly as she dropped her mama's hand and slowly walked into the room. The room had remained largely untouched. Beca had been in there more than anyone else had in the last 3 years to look through Quinn's computer and occasionally to get away and play the large piano Quinn had. Even though Beca bought one of her own, Chloe knew it helped her connect with her friend to be in that room and play on the instruments they had used to write thousands of songs. She watched as Finley approached a guitar stand that held 6 different guitars both electric and acoustic. Finley ran her fingers curiously over the strings of one releasing a quiet sound from the unplugged instrument. She turned to approach the large piano, her head coming just up to the keys. She couldn't see over them, even on her tip toes but she found the bench and pushed it out enough to climb on. Finley got to her feet, now towering over the piano. Chloe pulled her phone from the pocket of her jeans and flipped the camera open quickly. Just as Finley reached down and pressed on one of the ivory keys Chloe snapped a photo. She quickly attached it to a text and sent it to Beca. Finley looked up at her mother as the sound rang through the room.
"Not that one baby" Chloe smiled knowing Finley was going to ask if they could take that instrument home. "Mommy has one of those. Try to pick something smaller bug. Something we can fit in the car."
Finley climbed down from the bench and continued around the room. She eventually found something she had never seen before sitting on the top of a small shelf. She picked it up and the rattle it made instantly intrigued her. Her little hand tightly gripped the tambourine and shook it filling the room with sound. Once the noise settle she turned back toward her mama and held it in the air.
"That one?" Chloe asked.
Finley nodded.
"Okay baby. Come on. We need to get home."

"Perfect. Thanks Jess" Beca said into her phone. She felt it vibrate and pulled the phone away from her face to see that Chloe had texted her. "Yeah, around 7 will be great." Beca said into the phone. "See you guys then." Beca said before hanging up.
Beca opened the message to see a photo of Finley standing on the piano bench leaning over and pressing one of the keys. Chloe had written 'goosebumps' in the message bar. Beca looked closely at the picture and Chloe was right, she got goosebumps. Cooing coming from her sleeping son pulled her out of her daze. "Well hello" Beca whispered as her son began to stir from his afternoon nap. "Did you sleep good buddy?" Beca said as she picked him up, holding the boy out in front of her as his body stretched out. She placed a kiss on his stomach and brought the boy close to her body. "Sebastian" she whispered, "I love you so much." She held him close to her for a few minutes as he woke up getting lost in her thoughts of her family until he accidently pulled at her hair snapping her out of the daydream. She laid the boy down on her lap and he looked up at her with bright blue eyes. "So, you're mama and I are going on a date tonight." Beca said talking to the boy. "You're Aunt Jessica and Aunt Ashley are going to come over and babysit you and your sister."
Sebastian starred up at his mother.
"I know you're going to be a very good little man and be on your very best behavior" Beca teased the boy. She knew that he would be fast asleep by the time she and Chloe left and maybe only wake up once during the night and chances are they would probably be back by then. He had been sleeping better through the night lately so Beca was hoping he wouldn't even know they were gone. "How about we warm up a bottle for you tonight bud and you give mama a break" Beca suggested as she scooped the baby up and walked with him held against her into the kitchen. She pulled out one of the bottles of breast milk that Chloe had pumped and put it in the microwave for 42 seconds, which she figured out was the amount of time to warm the milk to the perfect temperature for her son. She cradled the baby in her arm and administered the bottle to the boy. After he finished, she set him up in his infant bouncer while she prepared a dinner for Finley.
4 hours later Beca was pulling Chloe's chair out for her at one of their favorite restaurants on the pier. "I know I've said it like 5 million times already but you look gorgeous" Beca said blushing.
"Thanks. You do too" Chloe said softly. She reached across the table and intertwined her fingers with her wife's.
"Hello ladies. Can I get you started with some wine?" The waiter said standing next to their table with his hands clasped behind his back.
Chloe looked from the waiter back to Beca. "I'd love a glass of wine" she said as her mouth watered involuntarily.
Beca glanced quickly over the wine list. "We will have a bottle of the Pahlmeyer Red."
"Excellent choice." The waiter said before backing away from the table.
"Do you think it's okay?" Chloe asked after they were alone again.
"Yeah, we have plenty of milk in the fridge babe. Have a glass of wine." Beca said with a smile. "You can pump and dump if you feel like you really need to."
"Classy" Chloe said sarcastically.
"What?" Beca asked as she sat back in her chair with a smile. "I'm sure it will be fine Chlo."
The waiter returned quickly to their table with their bottle of wine in hand. He turned over the wine glasses just before pulling the cork from the bottle with the cork screw. He filled each woman's glass half way before setting the bottle down on the table. "Let me know when you're ready to order." He said as he backed away from the table to stand in a far off corner so he wouldn't intrude on their dinner but kept his eyes trained to the table so he could be there when they needed anything.
After the wine had a chance to breath, Chloe raised the glass to her lips letting the liquid slide down her throat "That's so fucking good." She moaned.
Beca nodded in agreement as she placed her glass back down on the table.
A couple of hours later Beca and Chloe were seated in their car outside the restaurant. "Becs" Chloe whispered.
Beca turned her head to meet her wife's bright blue eyes. "Hum?"
"Thank you for that. I really needed to get out of the house and feel like a person again." Chloe said softly as she reached across the console for Beca's hand. She pulled it to her lips and placed a soft kiss on the back of Beca's hand. "I love our life. I really, really do and we have the most precious kids in the whole world but I've missed this so much." Chloe admitted shyly.
"Me too" Beca agreed. "I love them more than anything but I needed to be with you. Just you for a little while."
"Do we have to go home?" Chloe whispered seductively.
Her tone caught Beca's attention immediately. It had been a while since they had been together. Even after Chloe got the okay from her doctor to partake such activities, it was hard to find a time when they wouldn't be interrupted by Finley or not too exhausted from being up with Sebastian all night.
"We can go where ever you want to go." Beca answered.
"I'd just like a night away. Just you and me." Chloe whispered.
Beca nodded and turned back toward the steering wheel of the car. She started it and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Fuck that hurt" Beca said between hungry kisses as Chloe's lips were attached to her and unrelenting. She knew that the edge of the coffee table catching on the back of her calf would leave a mark and a massive bruise but the pulsing that was coming from between her legs was all she concerned about currently.
"Ok okay?" Chloe managed to get out.
Beca hummed in response. As she reached around and pulled the zipper down on Chloe's dress. She slid the black fabric off her wife's shoulders and down her waist until it hit the floor. Nerves flooded Beca's body. This was the first time in a long time. Beca searched her recent memory and the last time she remembered having sex with Chloe was the morning before her flight back to London. She woke Chloe up with kisses to the inside of her left thigh just to the side of her pussy. The sound that kisses to that particular spot drew for the redhead were elicit. They were pure sex and pleasure. Beca had just happened upon it once and the reaction she got was instantly addicting.
"Baby?" Chloe purred in the crook of Beca's neck dragging her tongue up to Beca's earlobe where she began sucking gently. "Where did you go?"
"I'm here" Beca replied as her hands found residence on Chloe's hips. She spun the woman around and backed her into the bedroom suite of the hotel room. She pushed Chloe away so she could take stock of her. The baby weight was pretty much gone and Chloe's body was returning. Beca silently thanked the LA Soul Cycle that Chloe began religiously attending. Chloe's hand on the back her neck pulled Beca back in. The kiss wasn't as rough as the last few but it was still hungry. Beca allowed her hands to roam up Chloe's sides and to her back. She unclipped Chloe's black lacey bra releasing her swollen breasts. Beca pulled the garment off Chloe and tossed it to the floor.
Chloe pushed Beca's jacket off her shoulders and down to the floor. She felt Chloe's warm finger tips on her stomach as the red head grabbed her blouse and pulled it quickly over her head.
Beca's hand were back on Chloe in an instant. She ran them south until she had Chloe's round ass in both hands. She squeezed tightly and pulled up towards her earning a groan from her wife. She looped her fingers in Chloe's black panties and pushed them down her legs as far as she could reach without removing her mouth from her wife's. They weren't exactly kissing currently but Chloe held her open mouth against Beca's as she breathed and moaned in pleasure. She had been horny for the last few weeks but way too tired to do anything about it, but now, her body was alive. And hot and tingly and wet. Beca pushed Chloe back further until the red head was sitting on the edge of the bed. Chloe used her arms and legs to climb further onto the bed while Beca pulled her black panties all the way off her legs leaving Chloe in nothing but her black heels.
Chloe ran her hands up her own body while Beca watched standing above her at the foot of the bed. She started on her thighs and then brushed over her center to feel the wetness she knew was there. Then over her newly toned stomach, squeezing at her tits before letting them bounce when she let them go. She finished by running her hands through her hair and laying her arms out on the bed above her. Waiting for Beca to please her, to touch her, to make her cum.
Beca watched Chloe closely as she touched herself. She noticed that Chloe must have taken the opportunity to prep herself for this date because she was groomed and ready. Beca couldn't take it anymore, she climbed on the bed with her hands landing on the sides of Chloe's hips. Her mouth found that place on Chloe's left thigh. The red head bent her right knee sliding her heel clad foot up the bed opening herself up to Beca.
Beca's eyes flicked to the right to her wife's glistening center. 'It's the placenta' Beca heard Doctor Pollard's voice in her head and when she tried to blink the sound away she immediately saw the stuff being pulled out of Chloe again. All that gross slimy stuff right where she was about to put her mouth.
"Beca. Please." Chloe begged about her.
Beca reattached her lips to Chloe's left thigh licking and sucking. Her eyes wondered back to Chloe's pussy. It looked like it had before but she knew it was different. Would it feel different? Beca thought to herself. She hadn't thought about it before but now that she was face to face with it, she couldn't tear her eyes away.
"Baby" Chloe moaned. Beca could see Chloe's hand working its way down her stomach and stopping at the top. Chloe gently slid a finger down herself pulling the moisture up to the top and circling her own clit. "Please. I need you to touch me. Please Becs."
Beca felt Chloe's other hand run through her hair and begin to push her head to the right. The sounds of childbirth filled her ears and even though she didn't hear it when it happened because all she could hear was Chloe's groaning in pain. She suddenly heard what she assumed the tearing of Chloe's vagina would sound like, and the sound of everything that had been inside Chloe hitting the floor. And she pushed against Chloe's hand. Unwilling to move closer.
"Beca." Chloe moaned.
Beca's eyes looked up just as Chloe looked down. Chloe tried again to guide Beca into her but Beca had the brakes on. She wasn't moving.
"What the fuck Beca?" Chloe asked as she propped herself up on the elbow of her free hand.
"I-I" Beca stammered. "I just keep"
"What baby?" Chloe's tone softened suddenly worried about her wife.
"All that shit coming out of you. It was so nasty" Beca admitted. Her expression foul.
Chloe's expression changed from worried to pissed in less than one second. "Are you fucking kidding me Beca?" She said loudly.
"It was gross Chloe. When the doctor pulled that out of you." Beca was feeling the nauseated feeling pass over her like it had in the delivery room.
"I'm laying here naked with my pussy wide open to you, begging you to touch me, to fuck me like you have millions of times and you don't want to because I just had a baby. Our baby? You're son?" Chloe was horny and livid.
"You didn't see it Chlo" Beca argued. "And I seriously doubt we have done it a million times."
"Listen to me" Chloe said straightening her arm so that she was now sitting up but still leaning back on her outstretched arm. "I don't give an actual fuck what your problem is right now. I'm laying here naked, in front of you, ready to have one night of hot, sticky, hopefully widely satisfying sex with you, multiple times, and you're going to make jokes?" Chloe's voice was high pitched.
The smirk faded quickly from Beca's face.
"Get the fuck over whatever your problem is right now. Man the fuck up and get down there and fuck me Beca!" Chloe demanded.
"Sorry" Beca apologized in a soft weak voice.
"I don't want to hear apologies Beca. I don't want to fucking hear anything" Chloe replied. She pushed Beca's head back down and this time was met without resistance. She fell back on the bed her chest bouncing as she felt Beca's tongue lick her lightly at first and then she felt it move inside of her, reaching as deep as it could. Her eyes rolled back and her body shuttered.
"Just like that" She encouraged Beca. Chloe lightened her grip on Beca's head. She felt Beca's hand spread her legs wide, opening her all the way up, completely exposing her. Beca's tongue moving quickly adding pressure and then sucking on her hooded clit as she pulled at it with her lips. She felt herself about to orgasm, already, and it didn't matter. It had been a long time and her body was overdue.
Beca slowly kissed up Chloe's body stopping for short time to kiss and tease Chloe's nipples but not stimulating them too much and then moved her to her neck and then finally allowing Chloe to taste herself on her tongue. "Again" Beca moaned into Chloe's mouth.
Chloe understood. It wasn't a question. Beca did it again and again and again. And she did it to Beca. All night until they couldn't possibly move. Until they were utterly exhausted. Until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

I Need It from Johnny Balik. It's a pretty good jam.
