Chapter 6
Disney Tales

Beca groggily opened her eyes the next morning to find her arms empty unlike how they were when she finally fell asleep last night.

It took a moment but she managed to see Jude was sitting cross-legged at the far end of the couch, watching the TV intently as someone sang along to The Little Mermaid from another room. She sat up slowly, rubbing her right eye, which was smashed into her arm as she slept.

"Morning, Bub." Beca said as she made her way to the head of the bed and wrapped her arms around the back of her son. He snuggled into her chest as she kissed the back of his head. Her sleeves covered her hands due to the sweater being too long, so as Beca went to ruffle his curls, Jude's eyes were covered by the fabric making him giggle as he reached up for her wrists.

"Mommy, I can't see." He informed her, making his mom laugh as she moved to hold the back of his shoulders again. He flipped his head back as far as possible and gave her an upside down smile. "Hi." He said in a whisper.

"Hi." Beca responded in the same hushed tone, making the two giggle as she touched her nose against his and brushed theirs together.

"Chlo-Chlo made me toast. She even cut the crust off." He pointed to a plate that was left with the crumbs of his breakfast, sitting on the coffee table.

"Well that was very nice of her." Beca nodded, slipping her legs on either side of Jude and lifting him slightly so he sat on her lap now, both watching Ariel swim towards her underwater cove.

"Can we have another sleepover here tonight?" The boy asked, turning his head to look at his mom.

"I don't know, baby. I have some things to figure out first."

"Okie." He said with a slightly disappointed tone. She wanted to give her son everything but Beca knew that what she wanted for him would never come easily. The two stayed in a hushed silence as Part of Your World came on and Jude began to tap his fingers on Beca's wrist to match the beat.

"You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!" A second voice had joined the Princess on Screen and Beca's ears had perked up to the similar harmonizing.

"But who cares? No big deal, I want more." Chloe had skipped into the living room, fresh clean clothes in her hands after they've been folded. She gave a dazzling smile in Beca's direction before the song continued.

"I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see them dancing." Jude laughed when Chloe twirled and walked on her toes so she stood taller.

"Walking around on those, What do you call 'em?" By now the Red Head had made it in front of the mother and son duo and gave Jude a quick questioning look before putting on a look of realization and pinching his toes singing, "Oh, feet!"

"Flipping your fins you don't get too far," Jude sang, jumping from Beca's lap and taking Chloe's hands as the two waltz around the tight living area.

"Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down a

What's that word again?

Street!" They belted all the lyrics, Chloe in perfect harmony, Jude trying to be as loud as possible. Aubrey stumbled her way out of the room at the end of the hallway and rubbed at the back of her neck, begrudgingly making her way towards the noise. Just as the blonde entered she noticed her friend and new little friend giving a performance to Beca.

"Wandering free,

Wish I could be, part of that world." Jude was near hysterics in his laughter as Chloe scooped him up and gave them three twirls.

Beca rose from the bed and walked in the direction of the kitchen, a smile playing on her lips that could warm any heart. Aubrey followed after; on the hunt for coffee and a sight less cringe worthy knowing very well that one miss step from Chloe and something will break in that living room.

"Good morning." She said, startling Beca who was at the coffee pot.

"Hey, how was your night?" The petit woman asked as she shuffled to the side slightly so Aubrey could retrieve herself a cup while she nursed her own.

"Good, thanks. I hope the pull out bed wasn't too hard on you and Jude." The blonde said with a slightly amused grin, earning an eye roll from Beca.

"We've slept on worse." To Beca it was an amusing jab, but to Aubrey it made her stomach tighten slightly at the thought of Jude not having a good bed at night. She was now desperate for a subject changer.

"So, Jude likes Disney Princesses?" She questions, looking through the arch entry as both Chloe and Jude neared the end of the song.

"Any Disney Movie with songs in it really." Beca said, giving a shrug.

"Kind of reminds me of Chloe's brother, Lucas. She forced him to endure countless watches of Disney Movies even to this day." Beca heard very little about Chloe's older brother Lucas, but she knew that he was a pilot and spent a lot of time flying all over the world, limiting his time to see her to at least once a year at a family reunion.

"That is not hard to believe." The brunette chuckled, thinking of a perky Chloe forcing her larger brother to sit through a whole Disney Princess movie as she sang along with glee.

"He never complained about it. He'd do anything for his baby sister."

"And you?" Beca asked, addressing the existence of Aubrey's little sister.

"I'd do anything for Brooke. No questions asked." Beca only now put two and two together, realizing why the blonde was so fond of caring for kids. She is after all a big part of Brooke's life and a major part in raising the younger Posen.

"Good morning sleepyheads!" Both were suddenly pulled from their conversation as Chloe entered with Jude on her hip, his teddy bear hanging loosely by his side.

"Good morning, Chlo. Jude." The blonde addressed the small boy with a tickle to his stomach making him squirm and cling to Chloe tighter. "I'm going to take a shower real quick, Bella's rehearsals are in an hour." Aubrey reminded the two, taking one last chug from her coffee before placing it in the sink.

"Mommy, what you drinking?" Jude questioned as he was placed on the ground. He gave her sweater a slight tug to indicate he wanted her at his level.

"I'm drinking coffee." She explained, careful not to tip the hot liquid.

"Can I smell it?" He asked, his eyes wide in his adorable way.

"Sure." She said, moving it closer to his head. He gave a strong inhale and nodded thoughtfully.

"Smells warm." He answered, making Chloe and Beca laugh. Leave it to Jude to give a vague yet deep description of something.

"Here, you can have a try." The brunette dipped her finger into the liquid and allowed Jude to try it, knowing very well a full sip would destroy his taste buds.

"Kind of icky." He stuck his tongue out, shaking his head in a negative fashion.

"That's because your mommy likes it without any cream. Only coffee and sugar." Chloe remarked, giving her friend a light jab with her toes as she passed her to the coffee machine. Beca stuck her tongue out at the passing brunette before rising to her feet and placing her mug on the side of the counter.

"I'll go refold the bed."

"Alright, just leave the blankets piled on the couch when you're done." Chloe called, placing her empty mug away and reaching for her friend's cup instead. She poured a little bit of cream into it, turning to look at the watching boy. "Your mommy drinks too much coffee anyways. This'll be a secret between you and I." She gave him a wink emitting a giggle from the boy. "Want some milk?" She asked, as she slipped the cream away and waited for his response before shutting the fridge door.

"Yes please." He nodded, climbing onto a chair and leaning onto the table as he awaited the cup of offered liquid. Chloe handed him a plastic yellow cup with the Barden University logo on it, a blue straw placed in it so then the boy could easily drink it.

"This tastes better than coffee." He informed the red head, nodding profusely as he chugged the liquid.

"You say that now." She said into the mug, giving a smirk as Beca entered the kitchen once again, on the hunt for what she once called 'Her Coffee'.

"Where's my coffee?" She questions, turning to look at the pajama cladded pair.

"I dunno." Jude shrugged, milk dribbling down his chin since he got tired of the straw and placed it off to the side. Beca squinted at him, knowing very well when her son was hiding something from her. He would chew the inside of his mouth and subtly look around the room so then he wouldn't have to look her right in the eyes.

"Jude…." She started, approaching the boy and hunching over to look him in the eye.

"I can't tell you nothing. It's a secret." He admitted, shaking his head and placing the cup back on his lips so he could take a long sip from the milk. With a grin on her face, Beca stood upright and went back to the coffee machine, not even glancing at Chloe.

"Chlo-Chlo should know that I spat into it a little when Aubrey and I were talking and she said something that shocked me." She glanced at Chloe with a slight smirk, sticking her tongue out as the red head evaluated the drink. She gave a shrug and took another sip, rising from her chair and going up to Beca.

"Please, you need to say more to make me budge, ya know. I saw you naked for christs sake." Beca froze at the thought, her body feeling warm from the memory of that day that the very girl she calls her friend barged in on her shower.

"You win this round, Beale." The petit woman said, shaking her head as Chloe laughed in triumphant joy.

"I always do." She was informed before the side of Chloe's foot connected with her behind in a teasing hit.

"When you two are done having coffee for four years, head over to the auditorium. Practice is in fourty-five minutes." Aubrey informed the two, breaking up their fight as she stood at the door of the kitchen with her hair in a ponytail and her bag draped over her shoulder.

"Okay, I'm gonna shower and meet you there. Becs, if you want you and Jude can shower in the guest bathroom." Chloe said, placing the mug in the sink, reminding herself that she's on dish duty today since Aubrey did it that last time they had dinner at home.

"Thanks. We'll be quick and I'll head back to my place to change into something for practice." Beca took Jude's empty cup and placed it next to the mugs.

"Bring some extra clothes. It'll be easier so then you won't have to run back and forth for things." Aubrey said, picking Jude up from the chair and stroking his curls.

"You mean, we're staying!?" Jude asked, holding Aubrey's face in his hands.

"If you want to." The blonde replied, laughing as he squished her face.

"Mommy, can we?" Beca was overwhelmed with the news and knew she owed so much more to these girls than she could give them. Knowing she would cry if she spoke, she nodded her head and gave a large smile.

"Yay!" Jude cried, hugging Aubrey tightly and looking to Chloe. "More Disney movies." He said to the red-head who nodded enthusiastically.
