A guest asked how Sophie got to Florida if her first flight was to Georgia: one, Beca and Chloe live in LA, they went to Florida once when Sophie was 7 months old and then went to Georgia again when she was older. Sure, she had been on a plane before but she didn't remember it, so when they traveled to Georgia, they said it was "her first time in a plane"
Oh! and guys, when I said I was going to write a Bechloe vacation, I meant only Beca and Chloe
In mid July, Beca and Chloe were in Florida, with the redhead's parents and sister, in vacation. They were enjoying the beach, the pool and the hot summer heat.
Lily liked playing with Charlotte but the little brunette mainly played with her sister, which was very cute.
They were going to return the next day, but they got a call from Stacie, saying her and Aubrey needed them ASAP, so they took the earliest flight home.
Charlotte and Sophie weren't tired, but they were confused as to why they had to leave earlier, to which both their mothers had no answers.
Beca called Stacie to see what was up, where they were and what they needed them for. Stacie only said her and Aubrey were home and that they should come over, with the girls.
Beca finished buckling Sophie in and got in the driver seat, clearly annoyed by the whole situation.
"Now we just arrived, we haven't even unpacked and they want us to be there! For what, an afternoon emergency snack?" Beca asked as she drove out of the spot.
"Maybe they do have something important to say that they need the whole family to be there..? I don't know, Beca, but they're our friends, they need us so we'll be there. They'd always been there for us." Chloe said.
Beca sighed.
"I know, you're right. I'm sorry, I'm just tired." Beca said. "We still have to unpack and get dinner and get the girls ready for bed."
"I know you're tired. Maybe this will be quick." Chloe said.
Beca sighed and yawned as she took a left turn.
When they got there, Beca parked the car, her and Chloe unbuckled the kids and they rang the doorbell.
Stacie answered with a huge smile and just told them to go to the living room. Sophie and Charlotte, however, both wanted to picked up by their aunt, so Stacie picked them up, managing to balance the two on her arms.
Chloe and Beca gasped when they were met with a smiling Aubrey, sitting on the couch holding a baby wrapped in a white blanket. A baby.
Chloe and Beca squealed and sat on both sides of the blonde while Charlotte jumped from her aunt's arms and sat on Chloe's lap.
"Oh my God! You guys!" Chloe said.
"Wait, wait, is it a boy or a girl?" Beca asked.
"This is Joel Matthew Conrad-Posen." Aubrey said.
"Hi Joel!" Charlotte said, trying to get a better look at the baby. "Welcome to the family!"
Aubrey smiled.
Sophie looked up at Stacie, who took a seat on a wooden chair in front of her wife, with a confused look.
"Wanna meet Joel, Sophie?" Stacie asked.
"Zoel?" Sophie asked with a frown.
"Yeah!" Stacie said, leaning closer so Sophie could see him.
Sophie saw Joel yawn and she smiled.
"Aww!" She said. "Hi Zoel!"
Stacie and Aubrey giggled and shared a loving look.
"He is so precious!" Chloe said.
"He's beautiful!" Beca said. "I wanna hold him!"
"Me too!" Chloe said.
"Me too!" Charlotte said, with the same enthusiasm.
"Me!" Sophie said with a raised hand and a smile.
"Everyone can hold him. However, I need to change his diaper first." Aubrey said, standing up.
"Can I help?" Charlotte asked.
"Of course, come on!" Aubrey said and Charlotte followed her upstairs to Joel's room.
Aubrey put him down on the changing table and unwrapped the blanket from his body and took off his dirty diaper. Little Joel was kicking his arms and legs, making noise.
"Char, grab that stool and help me." Aubrey said, pointing at a low tool.
Charlotte grabbed the stool, put it closer to the changing table and then climbed on it. When she laid eyes on Joel, her eyes widened and she screamed.
"Aunt Aubrey, there's a ball on Joel's girl parts!" She said, pointing.
Aubrey chuckled as she calmed Joel down.
"That's because he's a boy, Char. That's his boy parts." Aubrey said.
"Ewww! That's disgusting!" Charlotte said. "All boys have that?!"
"Yeah." Aubrey said.
"Ewwwwww!" Charlotte said.
Aubrey laughed as she finished wiping Joel.
"Char, open this drawer and give me some clean diapers." Aubrey said.
Charlotte opened the drawer but was too afraid to stick her hand in there. She looked up at her aunt with a scared look on her face.
"Those are just diapers, Char, there are no boy parts in there." Aubrey assured her. "You're safe."
Charlotte seemed calmer and she grabbed some clean diapers and handed them to her aunt before closing the drawer.
"There. All clean." Aubrey said, picking Joel back up. "Let's go back to the living room and then you can pick him up."
"Are his boy parts hidden well?" Charlotte asked, getting down from the stool.
"Yeah." Aubrey said with a smile.
Once they were downstairs, Aubrey asked who wanted to the the first to hold him and Chloe and Charlotte volunteered. Chloe explained to her that she should hold him first and then she was gonna help her hold him.
Beca was next and then, finally, it was Charlotte's time. She was so proud and happy, she was talking to Joel all the time.
Stacie then picked him up and sat on the couch.
"Aunt Aubrey, how was he born?" Charlotte frowned.
"What do you mean, Char?" Aubrey asked.
"You were not pregnant. Aunt Stacie was not pregnant." Charlotte said. "How was Joel born?"
"Oh. We adopted him." Aubrey said. "That means he grew in another woman's tummy but he is our son. He has always been."
"So you borrowed someone's tummy?" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah." Aubrey said.
"That's nice." Charlotte said.
"Yeah?" Aubrey asked and Charlotte nodded.
"Me!" Sophie said with a frown.
"Do you wanna hold him, Sophie?" Stacie asked.
"Yes." Sophie said.
"Alright then, sit on the couch." Stacie said.
Sophie sat close to the armchair and Aubrey, Beca and Chloe put a bunch of cushions and pillows around her and on her lap.
Stacie gently placed the baby in Sophie's arms and stayed close, holding his head and watching closely as Beca, Chloe and Aubrey held the baby's body.
Sophie grinned and stared down at Joel. She then looked up at Aubrey and laughed with excitement.
"You're holding him, Sophie!" Beca said.
Sophie grinned and laughed again. She then leaned closer and placed a kiss on Joel's forehead.
"Aww!" Aubrey said.
"Do you like Joel, Sophie?" Beca asked.
Sophie nodded with a huge smile.
"He's so tiny!" Charlotte said. "Mommy, was I this tiny?"
"Actually, you were even tinier." Beca said.
Charlotte's eyes widened and she gasped.
"So you stayed in the hospital until you got bigger and mommy could take you home." Beca said.
Charlotte looked relieved and Beca chuckled while Chloe kissed her shoulder lovingly.
"Alright girls, this has been fun but we should get home. We have to unpack, eat dinner, give the girls a shower and put them to bed." Beca said.
"You're right." Chloe said as she stood up.
Usually, Sophie and Charlotte would protest, but now they were so tired from the plane, they just stood up and followed their mothers to the door after kissing their aunts and Joel goodbye.
Stacie and Aubrey said their goodbyes and they invited Beca and Chloe to eat lunch with them tomorrow so they could talk and have a proper conversation, once they were well rested.
The two women got home, got their daughters ready for bed, ate dinner and finally went to bed themselves. They barely managed to get any unpacking done
oO0Oo
Beca was baking some muffins while her three girls ‒ as she liked to think of them ‒ played in the backyard. Chloe was playing with the hose, the sprinklers and some water balloons, since they didn't have a pool, though that was in their plans.
Beca put the muffins in the oven when her phone started ringing. She set the timer and grabbed the mobile device, sliding her thumb across the screen to accept the call.
Chloe and the girls got in wrapped in towels ‒ Charlotte wrapped in a bigger pink elephant towel because her old mouse towel was now Sophie's ‒ and Chloe quickly took them upstairs to change.
When they came back, Chloe decided they'd be more comfortable sitting outside, so Beca got the plastic glasses and plates for the girls, Charlotte got the juice and Sophie got the napkins ‒ which she called kinapees ‒ and the four sat down.
Chloe frowned when she saw her wife was unusually quiet and she didn't really interact with the girls. Chloe didn't push it, though, she decided to ask when they were alone.
After their snack, Chloe put on Frozen for the girls to watch and then went to the kitchen to see her wife quietly washing the dishes.
"Beca? Are you okay?" Chloe asked gently.
Beca turned off the water and turned around, drying her hands.
"Thank God, I need to talk to you." Beca said. "Maybe we should go outside?"
Chloe nodded and followed her wife to the backyard. Beca crossed her arms and avoided looking up at Chloe for a few moments, before she finally spoke,
"I have to go on tour for my album." Beca said and slowly looked up to meet Chloe's eyes.
"How long?" Chloe asked, already dreading this question.
"Uh.. 2 weeks.." Beca said.
"2 weeks?" Chloe asked. "Beca‒"
"‒ I know, I know, it's super long, they wanted to make it a month long tour, but I explained my situation and asked if you and the girls could come, but I remembered the girls have school and a‒nd you have to work so we agreed on 2 weeks." Beca rambled on, looking at her feet while making huge hand gestures and her voice broke a little.
Chloe put her hands on Beca's shoulders and that made the brunette stop talking and look up at her.
"Beca," Chloe said, "calm down, breathe. To be honest, I don't like hearing you're gonna be away for 2 weeks."
"I'm sorry, if you want me to cancel it, I will." Beca said.
"Don't be ridiculous, Beca." Chloe said with a soft chuckle. "Of course, it won't be easy. The girls and I are gonna miss you. But we're your family and we're going to support you."
Beca visibly relaxed and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Thank you so much, Chlo, I.. I thought you were gonna be mad, I‒"
"‒ I'm not mad, Beca. It's okay." Chloe smiled.
Beca smiled.
"I love you." she said.
"I love you too." Chloe said, placing a light kiss on her wife's lips.
Beca smiled bigger.
"And I'm your number one fan." Chloe winked at her wife.
"I think Charlotte and Sophie would argue with that." Beca chuckled.
"We're all your number one fans." Chloe said.
"And I love you guys." Beca said.
"We love you too." Chloe said.
Beca smiled and intertwined their fingers.
"Let's go watch the movie with our daughters." Beca said.
"Let's go." Chloe said and followed Beca to the living room.
Yaay! New member to the Conrad-Posen family! I was thinking about adding another baby to the Beale-Mitchell family but I don't know, I never imagined the family having more than 2 kids :/
