Stacie and Aubrey stayed in Chloe and Beca's house for two nights until Chloe and Sophie could go home. Chloe's parents and Beca's mom stayed longer, in a hotel. They wanted to spend more time with their granddaughters.
Beca's dad unfortunately had to leave after five days, but he stayed with them as much as possible before he went back home.
Once Sophie was home, the girls' parents threw Sophie a welcome home party, with a few gifts the mothers would certainly need.
Beca was sitting on the couch, Charlotte sitting by her side as she held Sophie, rocking her gently. Chloe was finishing with her shower and Charlotte was talking to Sophie.
"... and I have a lot of toys. You can play with them." Charlotte said.
Beca smiled.
"Are you gonna teach her to play?" Beca asked.
Charlotte grinned and nodded.
"Yes." she said. "But not with Charlotte. She's mine."
"Of course. You still have your own toys, like Sophie will have hers." Beca said.
Charlotte nodded and reached out, grabbing Sophie's hand. The baby started crying though, so Charlotte let go of her hand, scared she did something wrong.
"She hates me." she said, her dark blue eyes filling with tears.
"No, sweetie she doesn't, she loves you, she's just hungry." Beca said. "She doesn't hate you, how could she hate you? You're the best big sister ever!"
Charlotte wiped her tears and giggled.
Chloe came in the room and let out a big sigh.
"That was good." She said, sitting down next to Beca on the couch.
"I'm glad." Beca smiled. "Because now Sophie is hungry."
Chloe chuckled as she took the baby from her wife's arms and unbuttoned her shirt.
"I swear breastfeeding feels so weird." She said.
"It does huh?" Beca said. "But it feels wonderful at the same time."
"Oh totes!" Chloe agreed.
Charlotte watched in amazement as her baby sister fed from her mother's breast. It was still mind blowing to her, even though Beca had explained to her that breasts feed babies a long time ago.
"Wow!" Charlotte said.
"What is it, sweetie?" Chloe asked with a light chuckle.
"So Sophie drinks milk from this little thing there?" Charlotte asked, pointing Chloe's nipple. "What's that?"
"My nipple. But yeah, that's how it happens." Chloe said.
"Nipples have milk?" Charlotte asked, making her mothers chuckle.
"Well only when a mother is breastfeeding. After she has a baby." Chloe explained.
Charlotte frowned.
"Really?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah. Other than that nipples don't do anything special." Chloe said and Beca coughed and chuckled, smirking at her wife. Chloe shot her a look.
"Do mommy's nipples have milk?" Charlotte asked.
"No." Chloe chuckled.
"But she just had a baby!" Charlotte said.
"Well technically mamma had a baby. My nipples had milk when I had you." Beca said.
"Oooh!" Charlotte said, looking surprised and happy at the same time.
Chloe smiled at her.
"So, you wanna breastfeed a baby when you get older?" She asked.
Charlotte frowned and looked down. She pulled the collar of her shirt to look inside.
"But I don't have boobs." She said and looked back up at Chloe. "Look mamma! My nipples are small!"
She lifted her shirt, which made Chloe laugh as well as Beca, who pulled Charlotte's shirt back down.
"It's because you're still little." Beca explained.
"So my nipples will get bigger?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah, when you get older." Beca said.
"Okay." Charlotte said, sitting back. "I'm gonna get Charlotte."
She hopped out of the living room and went upstairs to her room.
Beca turned to Chloe and they both started laughing.
"Dude! Did we just talk to our 4-year-old about nipples?" She asked.
"We did." Chloe confirmed and chuckled. "You know, it's weird how she's fascinated by boobs."
"Well she's a little girl surrounded by women." Beca said. "For instance, she never asked about penises."
"And let's hope it stays like that for at least 10 years." Chloe said.
"What? 10 years?!" Beca asked with eyebrows knitted together. "I'd say 20 years at least!"
Chloe chuckled.
"Let's just hope the questions remain innocent." Chloe said.
"Yeah." Beca said. "I could actually go without the boob grab from her."
Chloe chuckled.
"She's just a curious kid." Chloe said. "Better have her grabbing your boobs than, let's say, Aubrey's or Stacie's."
"Yeah that's true." Beca said.
Chloe nodded and turned to Sophie, who had fallen asleep against her breast, which made both mothers chuckle.
"Hold her for a second." Chloe said and Beca took the sleeping baby from her wife's arms while Chloe buttoned back her shirt.
Beca kissed Sophie's forehead and smiled. She loved her so much already and she couldn't help but love that she was a ginger.
"Hey, you're Aubrey's maid of honor right?" Beca asked.
"Yeah, why?" Chloe asked. "Actually, they invited me and Charlotte to be maids of honor. Because she brought them together."
"That's so sweet!" Beca said.
"Right?" Chloe said.
"Yeah!" Beca said. "When is their wedding?"
"In May." Chloe said.
Sophie was born on December 8th, it was now December 19th.
"I see." Beca said. "There's still time."
"Yeah but don't worry, time is gonna fly by." Chloe said. "Aubrey already has a bunch of details picked out."
"Surprise, surprise." Beca said, chuckling. "I should get dinner started. I'm gonna put Sophie down."
Chloe smiled and nodded while Beca went upstairs to put Sophie in her crib, grabbing a baby monitor and going back down to the kitchen.
Chloe followed her and helped her in the kitchen with a smile.
"So? Are your parents coming for Christmas?" Chloe asked.
"My mom is, my father is spending Christmas with Sheila's family." Beca said. "They're coming for New Year's though."
Chloe nodded, getting our carrots.
"That's good. My parents can't come, they're gonna spend Christmas with Zoe, since she's moving back to the US."
"Oh that's great!" Beca said. "Is she moving to Atlanta?"
"She doesn't know yet, depends on where Thomas finds the best answer." Chloe said. "The options are Atlanta, Boston and Houston."
"That's good." Beca said.
"Yeah, it's awesome!" Chloe said. "My parents and I are hoping they move to Atlanta, because it's easier."
"Yeah." Beca said. "Maybe she will."
"Yeah, maybe." Chloe said.
Chloe started cutting the carrots, after washing them, and putting them in a bowl.
"Stacie called, said Aubrey's parents will be in France in business so they can't come home for Christmas and her parents are going to spend Christmas with Stacie's older sister in New York, so they asked if they could spend Christmas with us." Beca said, turning on the stove to cook some rice.
"That'd be great." Chloe said. "But it's bad about their parents, though. Can't say I'm surprised about Aubrey's parents, they're almost never home."
"That's too bad." Beca said.
"Yeah." Chloe said with a sigh.
"They're gonna be here for their wedding, right?" Beca asked.
"Yeah." Chloe said.
"That's good." Beca said.
Chloe put the carrots in a frying pan with some butter and garlic, taking a glass of water from the fridge quickly before going back to the stove to cook the carrots.
They ate dinner, tucked Charlotte in, Chloe breastfed Sophie once before Beca changed and burped her before putting her to bed, then the two women went to bed themselves.
oO0Oo
Charlotte woke up when she heard her sister cry a little bit. She got up from her bed, went to the kitchen, grabbed one of the nursing bottles Chloe and Beca left in the fridge and went back upstairs. She went into her sister's room and thought about what she was going to do.
"Hi Sophie, it's me, Charlotte! Your big sister!" She said, putting the bottle on the floor and reaching out to grab her sister's hand. "Are you hungry, is that why you're crying?"
Sophie kicked her arms and legs a little bit before crying again.
Charlotte grabbed the bottle and approached the crib. She was able to get to her sister and held the bottle to the baby's lips. Sophie quieted down after a few minutes and Charlotte smiled.
Sophie pulled away and Charlotte put the bottle down. She then went to her room and grabbed an album and went back to Sophie's room to find the baby with her eyes opened.
"Look Sophie!" Charlotte grabbed a chair and brought it closer to the crib. "This is mommy. You know her, she's brunette. This is mamma, she's a redhead. Like you! You look like mamma and I look like mommy." She went through the pages, occasionally holding the album against the crib, as if she was showing the pictures to the baby. "This is me when I was a baby, like you." Charlotte continued, "You're gonna grow up and be a big girl, like me!"
Charlotte then put the album down and turned back to Sophie, who still had her eyes open.
"I promise you, Sophie, I will be the best big sister ever! I will teach you to dance, sing.. Oh! You're gonna meet the Bellas! They are so fun!"
Sophie yawned and Charlotte giggled and yawned too. Sophie then burped and seemed startled by the burp.
"You burped!" Charlotte smiled. "We're sleepy, I'm gonna sing a song." Charlotte said, thinking of a song. "Oh!"
She started singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, moving her head to the sides, yawning. She saw Sophie fell asleep and smiled, before going back to her bed.
oO0Oo
The next morning, Chloe went to check on Sophie and found a nursing bottle on the floor and frowned, picking it up and going to the kitchen where she found Beca making breakfast.
"Hey, did you feed Sophie last night?" She asked.
"No, why?" Beca asked.
"This was in her room." Chloe said.
"That's weird." Beca said. "Maybe it was the doll!"
Chloe slapped her arm and chuckled.
"Stop that, your daughter might hear you!" She said.
"You can't deny that doll is creepy at night." Beca said.
"Wel... maybe a little bit but it's still cute." Chloe said. "Anyway, you didn't feed Sophie last night?"
"No." Beca said. "Then I guess.. Charlotte did it? She's the only one left."
Chloe nodded and went to the living room to find Charlotte dancing in front of the TV.
"Hey Char?" she asked.
"Yeah?" Charlotte stopped dancing.
"Did you feed Sophie last night?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, I did!" Charlotte smiled proudly.
Chloe giggled.
"That's great, honey, but next time you can wake mommy or me, okay? If you wanna feed her yourself, just wake us up and we can help you." Chloe said. "You shouldn't take care of yourself on your own, okay?"
"Okay." Charlotte said.
"I'm proud of you, but next time you hear her cry, wake mommy or me." Chloe said. "Okay?"
Charlotte nodded and Chloe smiled before rejoining her wife in the kitchen.
"Yep. It was Charlotte." she said.
"So the doll isn't alive." Beca said and laughed when Chloe slapped her arm again.
"Stop that." Chloe said.
Beca giggled and smiled at the redhead.
"You know I loved that doll. It's really cute and sweet." Beca said.
"Yeah." Chloe said with a happy sigh as she wrapped her arms around Beca's waist from behind and kissed her shoulder. "Maybe we can ask Aubrey and Stacie to babysit the girls so we can go out. We haven't gone out in a long time."
"It'd be nice." Beca agreed. "We can ask them, say this Friday?"
"Yeah, Friday is good." Chloe smiled.
"Good." Beca smiled and kissed her.
"I'll call Aubrey." Chloe announced and left the room.
Beca smiled and watched her leave before she set the table.
Next is Bechloe + Staubrey Christmas and Staubrey wedding!
