A/N:
I wasn't expecting such good reception but thank you. I really appreciate the things you guys have to say.
It seems pretty split; some people say just Bechloe and some say Triple Treble. I read the first chapter over and over and thought about it and I decided that since Beca and Chloe are already a couple, I don't know if I could introduce Aubrey in a romantic way and make it work so I'm just sticking to Bechloe. For the Triple Treble fans I do happen to have something else in the works that I posted the first chapter of so feel free to check that out if you'd like.
Anyway here's chapter 2; enjoy!
Chloe awoke a few hours later to the sound of crickets and a fire in the distance. She moved to sit up but quickly stopped as she realized that Beca was curled into her and had her arm wrapped around her waist. She glanced over at the sleeping brunette, who was snoring lightly, and smiled. She couldn't believe how lucky she had gotten. Gently, she nudged her girlfriend to wake her up. Beca, who was a light sleeper, was startled by the action and sat up quickly. She clutched at her ribs and gasped in pain. Chloe reacted quickly, sitting up and placing a hand on Beca's back.
"Deep breaths babe, deep breaths. Just calm down, you're okay." The smaller girl seemed to relax under Chloe's touch and began to calm her breathing. Once she had calmed down enough she looked at Chloe and smiled.
"Thanks Dr. Beale." Chloe laughed lightly and pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time. It was 8:07, and she had 3 messages from Aubrey.
Aubrey: Just make sure you take care of our favorite DJ.
Aubrey: You guys have been "napping" for 4 hours. I swear to god if you guys are having sex I'll kill you both. That's one of the few good tents at this place and I won't have you two love birds ruining it.
Aubrey: We started a fire and are hanging out. If you wake up on time feel free to join us.
Chloe laughed and showed Beca the messages who grinned widely.
"Why would we have sex? Does she not remember that I'm wounded?" She said with a laugh. Chloe's face fell and her hand instinctively reached to brush Beca's side. The smaller girl looked at her with a confused face and Chloe inhaled deeply.
"I'm sorry." Beca quickly shook her head and grabbed Chloe's hands.
"Don't apologize for this. You aren't the cause of it. I should've been paying more attention and not been running from my problems. Okay? And I'm fine, a little bruised, but fine. Nobody knew this would happen. It's okay though. It was just a freak accident." Chloe nodded.
"Okay, I just feel bad knowing you have to deal with this." Beca smiled sadly and brushed the back of her hand against her girlfriend's cheek.
"I know; but I'm okay. Now how about we go check out this fire the girls have going?" She asked causing Chloe to smiled and stand up. She reached out for Beca's hands and pulled the girl up from the ground gently. Beca put on a t-shirt and took Chloe's hand in hers before walking out to where the rest of the Bella's were together.
Aubrey smiled when she saw the two girls approaching hand in hand. Beca was moving a little slower than usual but that was to be expected. Chloe led Beca over to one of the seats around the fire and sat down with her.
"So you two are all good right? No more surprise fights or falling from heights?" Aubrey asked lightly. The rest of the Bella's laughed as Beca and Chloe nodded.
"Yup. All good. We can get back to business now." Stacie grinned at her mischievously.
"Did you guys have hot make-up sex in the tent?" Aubrey, who had just began to take a drink from her water bottle, began coughing and spluttering.
"I hope to god they didn't or I'd have to skin them both!" The Bella's grew silent for a moment before they began to bust out in rambunctious laughter. Aubrey casually brushed a strand of blonde hair out of her face and composed her as Chloe attempted to reassure her through her laughter that nothing had happened in the tent.
The group of girls grew quiet for a few moments before Chloe began singing the cup song from Beca's audition. Beca began to sing along, her eyes connecting with Chloe's and a content smile forming on both of their faces. The other Bella's slowly joined in and all sang along happily. As the song came to a close Beca wiped one stray tear from her girlfriend's cheek before Chloe looked at the rest of the Bella's.
"I think we just found our sound." She said, happiness lacing her voice as the other girls grinned and Aubrey and Beca shared a proud smile.
The night had come to a good ending. The Bella's found their sound, Beca and Emily agreed to working together on a song, and, in the words of Fat Amy, "Bhloe got their shit together." They were all curling up to each other in the tent and falling asleep when Aubrey stepped in quietly, careful not to disturb the already sleeping girls. She moved to where Chloe lay, holding Beca protectively in her arms and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"I highly doubt that having Beca sleep on the cold and hard ground is going to help her any. She probably needs to be in an actual bed where she can get a good night's sleep and rest. Do you want to bring her up the hill to where I stay and you guys can share the other room?" Chloe nodded gratefully and began to gently nudge Beca awake as she sat up.
"Hm? What? Chloe?" Beca mumbled as she opened her eyes.
"Shh, don't wake the other girls. We're gonna stay with Aubrey for the night so that you can sleep in an actual bed and start getting better." Beca practically moaned at the thought of a warm bed and she quickly got up and made sure she had what she needed before she and Chloe joined Aubrey on the walk to the staff lodge up the hill.
When they entered Aubrey showed them to their room and Beca immediately made herself comfortable in the queen sized bed, releasing a content sigh before quickly drifting off to sleep. Chloe smiled at the sight of her girlfriend so happy and released a content sigh to match the brunette's. Aubrey looked at Chloe with a small smirk playing at her lips.
"I was going to tell you both but since Beca is fast asleep I guess that isn't going to happen. I'm going back to Barden with you guys tomorrow morning." The redhead's eyes widened at the news.
"What? What about your job? Why are you coming back? I mean it's great, and everyone will be so excited that you're returning, but why? What for?" She asked causing Aubrey to grin.
"I've decided that I want to go to graduate school, further my education a bit and see what it can offer me for the future. As for my job, I'm quitting, I love many aspects of it but I easily get tired of being outdoors. I'm ready to move on and it's just bonus points that moving on brings me back to you guys and Barden." She said.
"Bree, I'm so happy for you. This is going to be great. You'll be in graduate school, I'll be in med school, and Beca took those two semesters off when her mom was in that bad car accident so she'll still be going to Barden. It'll be like freshman year again but less dysfunctional." Aubrey chuckled at Chloe's enthusiasm for the situation.
"Sounds good Chlo, we can talk about it more with Beca but we both need sleep so how about we focus on that?" She said. Chloe nodded and slid into the bed beside Beca, who instinctively wrapped her arm around the taller girl's waist and pulled her closer. As Aubrey slipped out of the room and quietly shut the door Chloe closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
A/N:
I know it's short, sorry. My main point with this chapter was to 1. Get you guys an update (sorry about that btw, I forgot my password and it took awhile to remember it) and 2. Somehow bring Aubrey back to Barden. And I achieved both of those things so good for me. I don't really have much of a plot figured out for this story as of right now, I'm just kind of rolling with it. So if you see that I'm updating my other fic more often I apologize, but I have some sense of a plot planned out for that one. This one... Not so much. I'm doing my best though.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. I'll have another update up as soon as I can. :D
