Chloe and Beca were having a lazy day, it was Saturday, they had nothing to do all day, so they could just stay in with the kids.
Sophie was now 4 months old, she was almost sitting up on her own. She still needed support, but if you sat her down on the ground, she would stay.
Chloe had put two thick blankets on the ground surrounded by toys so Sophie could play and she and Beca were in the living room, snuggled up to each other watching a romantic movie. Charlotte, as far as they knew, was upstairs in her room playing.
Sophie's hair was a really bright red and her eyes were bright blue, not as bright as Chloe's but not as dark as Beca's and Charlotte's. She was a copy of Chloe so far and both her mothers were hoping she'd stay that way. She couldn't exactly say a word but she would just say vowels sometimes.
"I feel like I'm being watched." Beca said in a whisper. She had her head on Chloe's chest and Chloe had her arm around her waist.
Chloe turned her head and noticed Sophie was paying close attention to them from where she was.
"Sophie is staring at us." Chloe said.
"Ask her what she wants." Beca said and Chloe chuckled.
"Hey baby!" Chloe said and Sophie smiled at her mother. She smiled and turned back to Beca. "She says it's milk time."
"Thank God you don't breastfeed her anymore." Beca said with a chuckle as she stood up.
"Why's that?" Chloe chuckled.
"For one thing, those things are mine!" Beca said and Chloe laughed.
"You're so overdramatic." Chloe shook her head.
"Oh yeah because you didn't feel that way when I was breastfeeding." Beca rolled her eyes.
Chloe just shook her head and remained quiet, knowing her wife was right. She stood up and picked Sophie up so Beca could feel her.
Beca came back with the bottle in her hand. When Sophie saw that she perked up and almost threw herself on Beca's lap. The brunette chuckled and Chloe placed her on her arms.
"So I finally got my dress for Aubrey and Stacie's wedding." Beca said.
"Ugh! Finally! It was about time, wasn't it?" Chloe said, chuckling.
Beca gave her a look.
"What?" Chloe asked.
"I know I'm not a woman who likes dresses but come on, was that really necessary?" Beca asked.
"Beca, it took you less than that to find a dress for our wedding." Chloe reminded.
"That was different!" Beca said but groaned when Chloe continued chuckling. "Okay, you're right. But dude, still, cheap shot!"
Chloe smiled and kissed her cheek. Beca looked up at her and smiled. The redhead kissed her cheek and smiled bigger.
Sophie started pushing the bottle away and Beca put the bottle down, standing up to burp her.
Chloe just laid her head back on the couch and watched the scene in front of her. She smiled and watched as when Beca turned her back to her, Sophie saw her and seemed surprised by that. Chloe smiled and waved at her and Sophie suddenly burped, looking around, confused.
Beca then looked at her and kissed her cheek with a giggle.
"That was a big one, baby." She said.
Sophie still seemed confused but Beca giggled and kissed her cheek again.
oO0Oo
Chloe opened the door to Charlotte's room that night to say goodnight to her oldest daughter, but she saw the girl holding her blanket to her shoulders, looking around in fear.
"Char, what's wrong?" She asked, getting closer to her.
"I think there's something under my bed." Charlotte pouted.
Chloe frowned.
"Mommy was gonna look but she ran away." Charlotte said, tearing up.
Chloe chuckled quietly and knelt beside the bed. She looked and jumped a little when she saw the doll. So there's the reason Beca ran. She giggled and grabbed it before showing it to her daughter.
"She was there, there's nothing under your bed, honey." Chloe said.
Charlotte hugged her doll tight and looked up at her mother.
"Let me show you something." Chloe said. "Come here."
Charlotte put her doll down and climbed out of bed, running to Chloe's side and hugging her tight.
"Look." Chloe said and showed her that there was nothing under the bed. "See? There's nothing. Now let me show you something else."
Chloe stood up and went over to the light switch.
"Look around your room." Chloe said.
Charlotte looked around at her things before looking back at Chloe.
"Now." Chloe turned the lights out and turned the lights out. Charlotte immediately jumped on her bed in fear.
Chloe turned the lights on again and Charlotte looked relieved.
"Do you see it? Nothing's changed." Chloe said and Charlotte looked around again, calming down. "You have nothing to worry about, honey."
"Nothing changed?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah. There's nothing under your bed and there won't be." Chloe said.
"Pomise?" Charlotte asked.
"I promise." Chloe said with a smile. She went over to her and kissed her goodnight. "Goodnight honey. I love you."
"I love you too, mamma." Charlotte said.
Chloe turned out the lights and left.
oO0Oo
Beca felt a little lost when she realized she was gonna have to stay with Sophie during the ceremony. She was so used to having Chloe and Charlotte by her side, now it felt weird.
Sophie was wide awake and she seemed happy and surprised when she saw her mother and sister and she smiled and started making noises.
Beca smiled as Sophie started waving her arms, trying to catch Chloe and Charlotte's attention. Charlotte managed to smile and wave at her and Beca.
When Stacie walked down the aisle, Charlotte smiled widely and looked up at her mom and Chloe smiled back. She was warned she couldn't clap just yet, but she smiled at Stacie and received a smile back.
Beca saw Charlotte was growing bored by how much she kept looking around. Sophie was growing impatient, she wanted to play and be loud and she got confused when Beca would shush her in a whisper.
When Aubrey and Stacie kissed, everybody got up to applaud and Charlotte started clapping like crazy as well. Sophie saw it was okay to make noise and started 'talking', trying to show people she was capable of making noise too. Beca giggled at that and kissed her redheaded head.
"They look beautiful." Chloe said as she sat beside Beca at the reception. Stacie and Aubrey were sharing their first dance as a married couple.
"They do. And they look so happy." Beca said.
"I bet they are." Chloe chuckled.
"Yeah. You know, they balance each other." Beca said. "Like, Aubrey super organized and.. OCD-like while Stacie is carefree and living in the moment. I don't know if you get it.."
Chloe chuckled and nodded.
"I do and I agree." Chloe said. "They do balance each other."
"Mommy, I wanna dance." Charlotte said.
Beca and Chloe giggled. Chloe was holding Sophie now as the 5 months old paid close attention to people dancing.
"It seems like your sister wants to dance too." Chloe said.
"Then let's go dance, mamma!" Charlotte said.
Charlotte looked at the dance floor and saw Stacie calling her over and she smiled and ran over. She hugged Stacie and the brunette held her little hands.
"You look beautiful, aunt Tacie!" Charlotte said.
"Thanks, Char, you do too." Stacie said. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?" Charlotte asked.
"Don't grow up too fast." Stacie said and winked.
"Oh.. okay." Charlotte said, confused.
"Char, this is the time you tell me 'Aunt Stacie, I'm gonna grow up' and I'll go 'awwww'." Stacie said, making faces and Charlotte giggled.
"You're a goof, aunt Tacie." Charlotte said.
Stacie smiled and they continued dancing.
"Thanks." Stacie smiled. "Do you think your aunt will get tired of me?"
"No, she won't." Charlotte said. "Because you're awesome. And she loves you."
Stacie smiled bigger.
"You really think she does?"
"Aunt Tacie!" Charlotte said. "She loves you!"
"Yes, she does." Aubrey said from behind Stacie.
Stacie turned around and smiled at the blonde, pulling her in for a kiss. Charlotte clapped her hands and started jumping up and down.
"I can't believe you're my wife." Stacie said and turned to Charlotte while her arm wrapped securely around Aubrey's waist. "Char, we're married!"
Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"Yes, that's why we came here, aunt Tacie." Charlotte said.
Stacie and Aubrey laughed.
"You're too much like your mommy." Stacie said.
"Thanks!" Charlotte said and Shake It Off came on, which made the little girl go running over to her mothers. "Mommy, mommy! Let's dance, mommy!"
Beca chuckled and took off her heels, standing up to go dance with her daughter. Chloe took out her phone and filmed them with one hand. They saw that and started dancing to Chloe, making fun moves. They were having a wonderful time and Chloe was so glad she could catch those moments on film.
After dancing a few more songs, the couple decided it was time to go. Charlotte fell right to sleep while Sophie took longer to fall asleep. When the two women finally went to bed they were really exhausted.
Beca smiled and snuggled up to Chloe, hugging her around the waist.
"That reminded me of our wedding." Beca said.
"Yeah." Chloe said with a smile.
"You know.. right after I told Caiden I was pregnant and he left, I thought about having an abortion. I thought I couldn't do it. I used to second guess myself all the time, until you came along and showed me I am capable." Beca said. "I haven't thanked you enough for that, Chloe."
"You don't need to thank me. Being your wife, Charlotte and Sophie's mother is more than enough." Chloe said. "I love you."
"I love you too." Beca said and kissed her. "And if I weren't exhausted, I'd spend the rest of the night showing you how much."
Chloe laughed.
"Well maybe we should leave that to another day." Chloe said.
"We will." Beca said and winked and Chloe giggled before kissing Beca again. "Goodnight."
"Night." Beca said and closed her eyes with a happy sigh.
oO0Oo
Chloe was about to upload the video she filmed at Aubrey and Stacie's wedding on YouTube when something caught her attention. Someone from the Ellen show had left her a message saying she wanted Charlotte and Beca in her show. The first video she posted, of the two dancing to La Isla Bonita had hit a little over 10 million views. She never checked the video after she posted it.
"Oh my God! Beca! Beca, come here! BECA!" Chloe yelled.
Beca came running downstairs wearing a robe and a towel on her hair.
"Dude, are you giving birth again?!" she said.
"You have to see this." Chloe said and showed her the screen.
Beca scanned the screen and read the message. Her eyes growing wide as she did. She then looked at Chloe and the two squealed for about two minutes before they heard Sophie crying upstairs.
"Great, we woke Sophie!" Beca said.
"I'll go get her, you go put something on and we have to reply to Ellen!" Chloe said.
"Charlotte will be so excited." Beca said.
"She will." Chloe agreed as they both headed upstairs.
It was lunch time and they both were gonna go to work after that. Beca was gonna drop Sophie off at daycare so she could work and Charlotte was at school still.
After spending a bit too much time thinking about a response to Ellen, the couple got ready and left the house, both too excited to hide it. Chloe texted Aubrey and Stacie as well as Beca.
After dinner, Chloe was taking a shower while Beca was getting some work done in the living room while Charlotte played with Sophie on the floor.
"Do you wanna calm her, Soph?" Charlotte asked.
Beca looked up from her laptop at the nickname and smiled.
"You gave her a nickname, huh?" She said.
"Yeah. My nickname is Char. Sophie's nickname is Soph." Charlotte said and looked at Sophie. "Right Soph?"
Sophie smiled and giggled, reaching out in her sister's direction. Charlotte smiled and grabbed her hand.
"Do you wanna calm your niece?" Charlotte asked.
Sophie let out a little noise as she looked at Charlotte, as if she was answering her. Charlotte smiled and handed the doll to Sophie, who just looked at it for a while, not sure if she could touch it. She then touched the doll's cheek and pulled her hand back immediately, giggling. She looked at Charlotte and laughed before doing it again.
"One day, you'll get a doll just like it and we can play together." Charlotte said.
Sophie started waving her arms up and down, laughing happily while she looked at the doll.
"Yaay!" Charlotte said, imitating the action. Sophie smiled and repeated.
Beca giggled.
"You two are so cute, I can't believe you're my daughters." Beca said.
"But we are, mommy!" Charlotte said, confused.
Sophie looked at Charlotte and then at Beca, let out a long 'aaaa' with a frown.
"I know you are and I love you guys." Beca said.
Charlotte smiled and stood up, throwing herself on her mother's arms. Sophie frowned and started making noises. She then crawled over there and started tugging at Beca's leg, since she couldn't stand up on her own yet. Beca picked her up and kissed her cheek with a smile.
"I love you guys." Beca smiled.
"And mamma!" Charlotte added.
"I never forget mamma." Beca said and kissed Charlotte's forehead with a smile. "How about you girls go back to playing? Char, before bed you and I are gonna finish packing your bags."
"Okay. Let's go Soph!" Charlotte hopped out of her mother's lap and went back to the blanket where her doll was.
Beca put Sophie down next to Charlotte and went back to her laptop.
Chloe and Beca finished packing theirs and Charlotte's bags before going to bed. They would leave in three days so everything had to be ready.
oO0Oo
This time, the rooms arrangements were different. Charlotte was gonna sleep in a room by herself, since they had enough space and so Beca and Chloe could take better care of Sophie and she wouldn't wake her sister at night.
Aubrey and Stacie offered to stay with Charlotte in their room but Beca and Chloe said they needed their privacy, after all they did just get married.
The Bellas were helping Beca and Chloe with the house, since they had not one but two kids now, both of which were impatient and Charlotte was begging to go to the pool.
Stacie was putting on Charlotte's bathing suit on while Sophie was in the living room playing with her toys. Beca was putting the groceries away while Chloe was drying off the dishes and putting them away. The house had been closed for quite a few months so they wanted to clean things before using them.
"When I think about this place, I remember a one and a half year old Charlotte and how she escaped the Bellas." Chloe said.
"I remember how frightened and freaked out I was." Beca said with a sigh. "I can't believe it's been four years since then. I mean Char is already 5!"
"Yeah." Chloe smiled at the brunette. "Now we have Sophie."
Beca smiled.
"Yeah." she agreed. "Now we're married.. Aubrey and Stacie are married.. things changed."
"For better, I hope." Chloe said with a chuckle.
"Of course." Beca said and chuckled too.
Charlotte jumped and put her hands her hips, wearing her tie-dye one piece and her pink flip flops. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had a bright smile. The smile was the only thing that reminded her mothers of Chloe, otherwise, she was a complete mini Beca.
"You look beautiful, honey!" Chloe said. "Did aunt Stacie put sunscreen on you?"
"Yes." Charlotte said. "So I'm ready."
"That's good." Chloe said.
"If you can find an adult who can go with you, you're good to go." Beca said.
"Aunt Tacie will go with me!" Charlotte said with a smile.
"Okay." Beca smiled. "We'll join you guys in a second."
"Okay." Charlotte said and skipped back upstairs, humming.
"You know, I think that girl will be very hot when she grows up." Chloe said.
Beca turned to her with a frown and a really funny look on her face.
"Excuse me that's my- no, no, no- our daughter you're talking about!" Beca said.
"So? I think she'll be hot when she grows up. I mean, how can she not be? She's a complete mini you." Chloe said.
Beca opened her mouth to argue but instead found herself blushing and Chloe giggled and ran over to her and hugged her around her waist, resting her chin against her shoulder, placing a light a kiss on her shoulder with a smile.
"You know, Chlo.. the last 5 years have been unbelievably amazing." Beca said, leaning into the embrace. "Better than I imagined it would be."
Chloe smiled.
"I know." Chloe said and hugged her tighter. "I love you."
Beca smiled and turned around, putting her arms around Chloe's neck and giving her a kiss.
"I love you too." she smiled and gave her another kiss and another.
They only pulled apart because they heard someone clear their throat. They giggled when they saw Aubrey holding a confused looking Sophie.
"I was gonna ask you guys if I could change Sophie and join Stacie and Charlotte in the pool?" Aubrey asked.
Sophie looked at Aubrey and made a noise, grabbing her hair and pulling at it, making her mothers laugh.
"Sure." Chloe said.
Aubrey managed to get Sophie to let go of her hair and went upstairs to change her. She put on disposable swim diapers on her, put on sunscreen on her, just the bottom part of her bikini and a hat. Sophie looked confused and started playing with her hair, with had an elastic so it would stay on. Then Aubrey got changed herself and went out to the pool where she saw Stacie laughing as Charlotte jumped in and Jessica, Fat Amy and Cynthia Rose clapped.
"Hey guys." she said and approached the edge. "Babe, can you hold her while I get in?"
Stacie approached the edge of the pool and took Sophie, who looked super surprised and a little scared as she entered the cool water. She then gasped and started hitting the water with her hands. When she noticed it was actually fun, she started kicking her arms and legs and giggling very loudly. Aubrey then approached and took her from Stacie's arms and Sophie gave Aubrey the biggest smile ever, which made the blonde smile back.
"Sophie!" Charlotte said, being held by Stacie.
Stacie swam over to Aubrey and Sophie and the little brunette grabbed Sophie's hands and used them to hit the water, making the baby laugh.
"She loves it!" Aubrey said, watching Sophie and Charlotte interact.
"Of course she does." Stacie said.
"Water is fun!" Charlotte said, putting her face in the water.
"Yeah but it's also dangerous." Aubrey said, looking at Charlotte when she emerged. "You can't come near the pool without an adult, okay? Neither can Sophie but she doesn't understand that yet."
"Okay." Charlotte said. "I won't."
"Good." Aubrey said.
"And you are not to leave the house unattended." Stacie said. "Okay?"
"Okay." Charlotte said. "Aunt Aubee, look what I can do! Aunt Tacie, let me go."
Charlotte got out of the pool and stood outside. She was talking about which jump she was gonna do when Beca and Chloe stepped out. Chloe was gonna sunbathe while Beca was gonna join the Bellas.
"Mommy, watch!" Charlotte said with a grin.
Beca took off her flip flips and Charlotte jumped in the pool, Stacie caught her when she did. When she emerged, she put her arms up and grinned, saying, "Ta dah!"
Everyone giggled and clapped as she did, even Sophie.
Beca gave Chloe a kiss before joining her daughters and the Bellas in the pool. Chloe watched them with a smile. She was so happy, she had her dream family.
I wanna write another chapter with them in Florida and then I wanted to ask you guys; I could easily turn this story into a very long one about Charlotte and Sophie growing up, like maybe a 40 or 50 chapter story, or I could just jump to the end. I have the end already planned out, even if you guys choose to see the Beale-Mitchell family growing. So please let me know! I love you guys!
