Hey there! And Merry Christmas! I decided to write some Christmasy one shots that who with some of my fanfics. I will post one or two the upcoming 3 days starting off with They shot me down but I won't fall. I hope you guys enjoy it and have a wonderful Christmas!

"I still hate you for not being home during Christmas..." Chloe pouts glaring at the brunette on the screen of her laptop. She sat cross legged on the chair that stood in front of her desk. Beca chuckled and shook her head at the annoyed red head.

"You're not gonna forgive for that are you?" She grinned. Chloe couldn't help but smile when she saw her favorite smile and heard the pleasant laugh she always loved to hear even though it came through a speaker on the day of Christmas Eve. Chloe tried to hide her smile behind a stern look and crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, I won't forgive you for leaving me alone during Christmas Even and Christmas Day," she said, mock offense heard in her voice.

"Hey, I said I'm sorry," Beca exclaimed holding up her hands in mock surrender, "and you're not alone during Christmas, Aubrey and Stacie are coming over and you see your family tomorrow! I should be the one being pitied here..."

"Is that so?" Chloe quirked a brow and tilted her head slightly to the side.

"Yeah, I mean I didn't choose to be hours away from my love to train some newbies who cry about doing a hundred push ups and spending Christmas without their family. You'll be surrounded by people who care about you while I'm here with just a cold computer screen with your beautiful face on it making it even harder that I'm away from you..." Beca bowed her head down a little looking up at Chloe with puppy dog eyes and a small pout on her lips. Chloe rolled her eyes playfully and smiled.

She knew Beca was right, Stacie and Aubrey were coming over and she'd see her family so she wouldn't be alone and Beca was all alone with no one close to her to keep her company. But she still missed Beca like crazy and wished they could be together this Christmas.

Two months ago Beca's commander had called to ask her to help them out training the new recruits. He knew Beca wouldn't go into battle any time soon but he had told her they would appreciate it if she'd school the new soldiers to be as good as her. Beca felt like she couldn't decline the request and had agreed to come without really discussing the matter with Chloe. Chloe had been furious but after a few heated conversation and some make up cuddles they had both gotten to the conclusion that Beca was needed at the academy, thousands of miles away from the university.

Chloe hated it that Beca was away again, she felt pretty miserable the first few days without her. But at least she knew Beca would come back to her this time, since they'd been together for quite a while now. She had gotten used to the brunette being around her, even if they didn't speak Beca's presence made Chloe feel at ease, waking up to an empty side of the bed almost felt unreal.

Leaving had never been this hard for Beca before, of course leaving home was never fun and she wasn't even on a real mission but she still felt a piece of her heart missing when she left Chloe behind at the airport. Tears had stung in her eyes as she'd walked through the small corridor leading to the plane and she hadn't dared to look back on her devastated girlfriend as she had walked away. Leaving had never sucked this badly...

For past months they'd skyped everyday and Beca made sure to send Chloe a text every once in a while to let her know she was thinking of her. About two weeks ago Beca had found out that she wouldn't be able to make it home on time for Christmas, the job took a little longer than they had thought before. Chloe and Beca both felt terrible and the Skype call that included Beca telling Chloe she wouldn't make it, ended up with them arguing about it. Beca had ended the call telling Chloe she'd call her later so she could have some time to cool down. A few hours later they talked again, not without a few tears, and decided to not fight about it anymore and just make the best of it. Chloe could see it bothered Beca as much, if not more and figured that it would be for the best to just support her.

"I just don't like your job..." Chloe huffed.

"That's a lie, I save lives, fight the bad guys, don't tell me you don't think that's all heroic and stuff!" Beca winked with a grin tucking at her lips. Again Chloe couldn't help but smile at her goofy girlfriend. Chloe was about to say something when Beca's commander appeared next to the brunette. Beca looked away from Chloe to greet her leading commander. Chloe could just make out what her was telling her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Beca, but one of the recruits is begging me to let him Skype is mother and one started crying... We kind of need you out there." Chloe could see Beca giving him a curt nod before he waved at Chloe and disappeared again. A bit of annoyance stung her because she felt like Beca gave in too easily. She could've at least asked for a few minutes, Chloe thought.

"I'm so sorry, babe," Beca said just above a whisper, guilt in her voice. "I have to continue saving lives, kind of, more like saving broken hearts." Chloe didn't say anything and just looked at Beca. "Chlo, don't do this now. We talked about this, I'll call you as soon as possible, I promise! Trust me, love, this isn't any fun for me either."

Chloe felt her anger starting to fade again seeing Beca so upset. She was probably just overreacting because she missed the brunette so much.

"I know, sorry, I just really miss you and I wish you could be here to celebrate with us but I know you can't help it."

Chloe's favorite smile appeared again and Beca let out a light breath. "Me too, Chlo, me too." Beca head perked up for a moment and Chloe knew her commander was calling her.

"Go save lives, babe, we'll talk later."

"Are you sure? We're good?"

"All good."

"Good, tell Stacie and Aubrey I said hi and enjoy your stuffed turkey and all that great food Aubrey usually makes, and think of me as I eat my microwave meal..." Beca grumbled grimacing at the thought of her dinner. Chloe chuckled.

"I will, have a nice day, Beca. I love you."

"I love you, too. And merry Christmas, love," Beca said sweetly kissing her hand and them touching the computer screen.

"Merry Christmas." Chloe whispered, tears near slipping her eyes, before Beca ended the call. Chloe stared at the screen for a few seconds already missing the brunette's voice and seeing her smile. Wiping away her tears she sighed and shut down her laptop. She got up and stretched her arm out above her head. Aubrey and Stacie were going to be at her place around 5, that meant she had 6 more hours to get ready.

A few hours, a shower and dozens of outfits later, Chloe was standing in front of her mirror carefully untangling her red curls. She was wearing her black blazer with a sparkling top underneath it and on her wrist she wore the bracelet Beca had gotten her a few months back. Chloe spotted the bracelet in the reflection of the mirror and smiled.

She was about to check the time when her phone rang. Disappointment made her stomach drop when she saw it wasn't Beca calling her but Aubrey b

"Hey Bree, what's up?"

"Hey Chloe, I'm sorry we're gonna be a little later than we planned, because someone wanted to get some more alcohol and fix her hair just before we left..." Aubrey grumbled.

"This hair doesn't want to be tamed, Aubrey, I can't help it." Chloe could hear Stacie shouting in the background and giggled shaking her head.

"That's alright, I wasn't done either, anyways," she lied. She exactly really needed some people around her because being alone wasn't really Chloe's thing especially not when Beca was away.

"Okay, we'll text you when we leave, okay? It won't be long, I promise, wait no I can't promise that, I travel with Stacie..."

"Shut up, Aubrey!"

"Okay, guys," Chloe chuckled, "I'll see you later. Bye." Chloe hung up and carefully threw her phone onto her couch with a sigh.

Trying to kill time she grabbed a drink and sat down scrolling through the photos on her phone. She smiled when she got to the silly photos Beca and her always made when they were bored. She was about to text the brunette when someone rang her doorbell.

When she opened the door all she could see was a bit bouquet of red roses and a person, their face hidden behind the bouquet.

"Uhm, hi?" Chloe frowned. The bouquet moved and a small man with glasses appeared.

"Are you miss Beale?" He asked, a gentle smile on his wrinkled face. Chloe nodded and the man handed her the flowers. Chloe carefully placed them on the table next to her admiring the beautifully roses.

"They are beautiful, do you know who sent them?" Chloe asked facing the man again.

Still smiling the man shook his head, "no ma'am, but they must really like you because those are some beautiful roses! I do know they left you another package but I couldn't get it inside, it's outside the building, miss."

"There's more?" Chloe's frown deepened when the man called Jimmy, she could read on his name card, nodded. The man gestured down the hall and told her to go ahead.

Chloe quickly grabbed her keys and closed the door before leaving the man behind to see this mysterious package. Beca crossed her mind and she thought it would be something Beca would do to let someone deliver her a package for Christmas just to surprise her. She sped up and waking turned into a jog as she made her way to the front door of the building. Still without a clue of what the package could be or who could've sent it to her she opened the heavy and was met with the cold wind. Her arms wrapped around her frame she walked down the stairs and looked left and right looking for the package.

"Merry Christmas, love." A sudden voice called behind her, a voice she'd recognize out of a thousand others.

Chloe turned slowly thinking she'd imagined the voice. Once she fully turned around, she saw that she hadn't made it up. There stood Beca, holding her duffel bag over her shoulder a toothy grin on her face.

"Hey," Beca said once she knew Chloe realized it was actually her. Chloe ran up the steps again and Beca dropped the bag to catch Chloe as she launched herself into the brunette's arms. Stunning to stay up Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe's waist and buried her face in the dip of her neck. She let out a content sigh once she felt Chloe's body pressed against hers again and the familiar smell of strawberry shampoo surrounded her again. She was home again.

"I missed you," she whispered against her skin. Chloe pulled back her hands on either side of Beca's neck and kissed her. When they pulled back again for air Beca chuckled.

"I see you missed me too?" She smirked before being pulled into another kiss.

"I can't believe you kept it from me that you were coming back!" Chloe exclaimed slapping Beca's arm making Beca laugh. Hearing her laugh with a laptop ruining the sound gave her the familiar butterflies in her stomach.

"I'm sorry! I just wanted to surprise you, it worked tho didn't it?" Beca winked reaching out to intertwine her fingers with Chloe. Chloe just nodded and pecked Beca's lips. They stood outside just looking at each other and taking in everything they saw until Beca started to get cold.

"Let's get inside, I got some presents for you!" Beca picked up her bag and pulled Chloe through the the corridor leading to her apartment. Beca thanked the delivery man ripping him generously before they got into the apartment. Beca sat Chloe down on the couch and was about to get her bag but Chloe stopped her from walking away by tugging at her hand. Pulling Beca down on the couch she kissed her again pulling her closer by the collar of her shirt. Beca smiled but pulled back leaving Chloe with a frown and a pout.

"Presents first, then we can make out as long as you want," she chuckled with a wink before jumping to her feet and getting her bag.

"You know you didn't have you get me anything right? I mean you being here is already too surreal and amazing," Chloe said as Beca sat down again.

"I know but I did it anyways, here you go." She handed Chloe three packages, two medium sized ones and one small box.

"You're not proposing again, right?" Chloe teased holding up the small box.

"Oh no, one can only handle so much anxiety of proposing... Open this one last tho." Beca handed Chloe an other package first. When Chloe opened it, it was a beautiful black dress. With matching earrings and necklace. Chloe looked up at Beca again with wide eyes.

"This is so beautiful! Oh my god, thank you!" She hugged Beca and kissed her before admiring the dress again.

"I thought you could wear it to dinner with your parents? Now open the next one!"

Chloe carefully took of the bow of the next present and unwrapped it. She opened the box and inside was a matching pair of lingerie. She was met with a grinning brunette looking back at her.

"You are too much," Chloe muttered shaking her head but a smile playing on her lips.

"Hey, I saw it and I thought it'd look beautiful on you, you can wear this, too, to your parents tomorrow so I can it off later..." Beca said seductively wiggling her eyes brows.

"I'll think about it. Thank you." Chloe waved her fingers through Beca's and Beca brought up their intertwined hands to kiss the back of Chloe's.

"One more, it's kind of stupid but... I don't know I thought it would mean something." Beca nervously fiddled with the box before handing it to Chloe. Chloe's eyes darted between Beca and the present a few times before she carefully opened it. Inside was Beca's army tag that she always wore on her necklace. She knew how much it meant to Beca since it was always next to Nick's tag. Taking out the tag she held it in her hand gently and looked up at Beca.

"I used to think it kept me alive during battle, not now that I have you I know it is you who keeps me alive, who keeps me sane. I wanted to give it to you, because I want to have something of me when I'm gone, something important to me. I know it's stupid bu-"

"It's amazing, Beca. I love it," Chloe interrupted squeezing Beca's hand assuringly. "I love you."

Beca let out a breath and smiled, stress clearly leaving her body, "I love you, too." She whispered before pulling Chloe into a tight hug. Feeling Beca's breath on her skin again and her strong arms around her, remained Chloe again why it was so worth the wait every time Beca was away.
