Aca-moms

Chloe had been getting dressed, but now she finds herself straddling the brunette, kissing her neck when the doorbell rings. Quickly putting on sweats and a shirt she goes to open the door.

"Sorry Bree, I overslept a little, but come in." Aubrey gives Chloe a suspicious look and follows her to the living room.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'll get us some coffee."

When Chloe disappears into the kitchen, Aubrey takes a look around the room.

"Wow, Chloe, this is a change from your old apartment. You even have a grand piano... And a record collection that would make Beca Mitchell jealous..."

Chloe hears her friend's comments and can't suppress a grin. 'If she only knew..' she thinks to herself.

Chloe comes back from the kitchen with two steaming cups of coffee. She and Aubrey settle on the couch, sipping their coffees.

"So, you had a date yesterday? By your total appearance I guess it was a long night? So does that mean it was a success?"

Chloe has been remarkably silent. Answering the question pretty vaguely, she tries not to give away too much, but her eyes sparkle.

"Yeah it went really well, great even, I guess"

"So what is he like? Is he tall, blonde and charming?"

"Well, it's more like she is short, dark and grumpy..."

Aubrey looks at Chloe furrowing her brow in confusion when she suddenly hears a familiar voice behind her.

"Don't think I didn't hear that, Beale."

"You know you love me."

Aubrey had turned her head to see where the voice was coming from and noticed that Beca had apparently just showered. Looking between the two women she asks:

"Chloe, you went on a date with Beca?

"Beca and I reconnected when she and David moved here from New York. Then my apartment building had some issues with the pipes and she let me stay with them. This is actually her apartment. It turned out, even though a lot has happened, little has changed between us. Until last night, that is.” Chloe says with a huge grin on her face.

Beca had walked over to where Chloe was sitting and placed herself on the arm rest, Chloe leaning against her upon which the brunette presses a kiss to her lips.

"David is my son, or as he has recently decided, our son." Beca clarifies for Aubrey, leaning down to press another kiss on her girlfriend’s head. Chloe’s heart jumps at this seemingly small remark. Beca adds to that answer by telling Aubrey the events of that Friday at school.

After a short silence Aubrey begins to laugh and says:

"Well, I can't say that we didn't see this coming, although most of us had given up hope by now. But that a four year old caught on before you guys is actually hilarious.”

Now it's Beca's turn to be confused.

"We?" She asks.

"Oh, yeah, the other Bellas have a poll going whether you two will get together each year. I should have been prepared when Legacy changed her bet to ‘definitely happening this year’. I am however a bit disappointed you didn’t tell me, Chloe. Now Emily is taking the jackpot home by herself."

Both roll their eyes at that, but decide to let it slide.

"Hey, can you two be nice for a while? I'm going to change quickly." Chloe says as she gets up.

"Take your time, babe." Beca replies.

"So..." Beca says turning to Aubrey "Let's hear it."

"You want the best friend speech?”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t want to rob you of that pleasure.”

“Look Becs, I know you and I know Chloe, and what you two have has always been special. So there is just one thing that I want to say, Beca. Just promise me that you won’t shut her out again, because the last time you did that you broke her heart. And promise that you’ll keep talking to her, when times get tough. If you do that, you’ll two will be able to make it through anything.”

“I promise, and Aubrey, thanks for being there for Chloe.”

Aubrey just simply shrugs.

“Aubrey, I need advice, and it’s kind of urgent…It’s something I can’t discuss with Chloe, but I really need to talk to someone about it. Would you hear me out?”

“I don’t know if I can help, but I can always listen.”

“It’s about David’s father. It's a bit of an unusual arrangement, I mean,he still sees David, but more like an uncle, but I always kept him at distance, because I'd rather do it alone than give this kid a broken home, but now it’s sort of like Chloe took his place, and I worry about his feelings…”

“The same thing I said before about talking to Chloe, applies actually to any of us. We are your friends, and Jesse may be hurt, but you can only make it worse by not talking.”

“How do you know it’s Jesse? Only four people beside me know, since we don’t want anyone to let it slip in front of him.”

Aubrey starts to massage the back of her neck before answering: “Chloe didn’t break your trust. Jesse told me, because ehm…we are in a relationship. When we came back here, he told me, because he’d be spending the weekend with David. I’ve met David on Saturday. He’s a great kid. But your secret is safe with me.”

“So how do you keep the wolves away? Or is it a rule that only applies when in active competition?“ Beca jokes to break the awkwardness and Aubrey laughs.

“No, but seriously, It’s weird, you with my ex, but I think you make an unexpected, but good paring. Take good care of him and be the woman for him that I could never be. Consider this my best friend speech.”Beca winks. “Have you told Chloe?”

“No, I planned on doing that today. Jesse was going to tell you today too.”

At that moment the bell rings. Chloe, who had just returned from getting dressed opens the door and is greeted by David and Jesse.

Jesse offers her a small smile and a “Hi”.

David on the other hand wraps himself around Chloe’s legs and exclaims: “Mommy!”

Chloe places her hand on the boys hair, while she gives Jesse her best apologetic look. Clearing her throat she says: “Please come in.”
