Two Instead of Three

Summary:

Set as a prequel to "Do You Think She Knows?".

This shows them in the beginning navigating their new dynamics. Chloe gets called into work on a planned date night, leaving Beca and Aubrey to themselves for the first time since their Triad has begun.

Work Text:

“NOOOOO,” Chloe whined. Her lips pursed into a pout as she looked at the work pager in her hand. 

“No,” Beca grunted. “You weren’t even supposed to be on call tonight.” She didn’t even try to keep the whine from her voice. 

“Apparently Dr. Mathis has the flu,” Chloe sighed as she got up to get dressed. The revealing booty shorts and crop top she was wearing wouldn’t do for work. 

Beca groaned as she followed her into the bedroom. She was pretty sure Aubrey was already on the way. Her shoulders sagged. They had planned tonight for a couple of weeks. And due to work schedules they hadn’t seen Aubrey during the entire time. Beca didn’t want to admit it, but she was missing the blonde. “I guess I will text Bree and tell her we have to cancel.”

Chloe pursed her lips as she dug through her drawers for clean scrubs. “Just because I have to miss out on the fun doesn’t mean you two have to as well.” 

Beca did a double take. “What?” She asked, staring at her wife’s back. “Seriously?”

Chloe turned around. “I was hoping to have this convo with more time and ya know with Bree,” Chloe said. “But we don’t seem to have that luxury with all of our schedules lately. I have been enjoying the stuff with Bree. The dates. The Cuddles. The bedroom activities.” 

Beca blushed as she thought of the last time. “Me too,” she said as she rubbed the back of her neck. 

“Is it more than just sex for you?” Chloe said as she slipped into her scrubs. 

Beca blushed more. “Yes,” she answered nervously. “I…I think so.” 

Chloe stepped forward and rubbed over her shoulders. “It is for me too. I think it is time we talk about boundaries and rules, maybe tomorrow morning over coffee? Tonight, just know I am comfortable with you two being together when I am not here.” 

Beca blinked slowly while she processed. “You’re sure?” she asked. 

Chloe smiled softly. “Would you care if me and Bree were alone together naked?” 

Beca smiled at the image. “I would just be sad I would miss it.” 

Chloe chuckled. “That is how I feel. Bummed I’m missing it, but it is hot to think about. So enjoy tonight. Guilt free.” She leaned in and kissed her softly and moved around the bedroom gathering her things. 

Beca rubbed the back of her neck while she thought about it. “What if she doesn’t want to spend time…with just me like that?”

“Oh, baby,” Chloe said. “I promise you that will not be a problem.”

“How do you know?” She asked shyly. 

“Because my wife is awesome,” Chloe grinned. “She is talented and funny and oh so very sexy. And she also does this trick with her tongue that make women turn to mush” 

Beca rolled her eyes. “Chlo.” 

“Seriously. Just text her, Becs,” Chloe said. She kissed her lips. “But I have to go. I will see you both for breakfast.” 

Beca sat back down on the couch with a cold beer in her hand and stared at her phone like it was going to bite her. She took a swig of her beer before she finally opened the message app and pulled up her stream with Aubrey. 

Beca: Hey. Chlo just got called into the emergency clinic. 

Aubrey: I didn’t think she was on call?

Beca: That is exactly what I said. 

Beca watched the dots that showed she was typing appear then disappear. She watched this process a few times before she sent another text. 

Beca: You still wanna come over? 

She watched the dots dance across the bottom of her screen again. 

Aubrey: Are you sure you still want that? Would Chloe even be okay with that? 

Beca: She gave her blessing before I asked. And Yeah, I’m sure I still want to see you. 

Beca: But like I totally get if you like want to wait or whatever. 

Aubrey: I’m on the way. I will stop for food for us and I will have some delivered to Chloe at the clinic. 

Beca: That sounds awesome. I got that fancy imported beer you like. 


 

Aubrey: Hey, Chlo. I’m having a few pizzas delivered for you and the staff. I figured you didn’t eat before leaving. 

Chloe: I definitely did not. Thank you. 

Aubrey: You all can’t save the puppies and kittens on an empty stomach. 

Chloe: You really are the best, Bree. 

Aubrey: I’m on my way to your apartment. I guess I just kind of wanted to check in before I got there. 

Chloe: You two have my blessing to proceed as if I am there. We will all talk in the morning. I’ll bring home breakfast. And you better still be there.

Aubrey: When did you become the bossy one? 

Chloe: Since my wife and my girlfriend are the types that need someone to be bossy and to the point. 

Aubrey stared down at her phone. The word girlfriend ruminating in her mind. A smile played across her face. 

Aubrey: your girlfriend and your wife will be keeping the bed warm. 


Beca stood in her closet stripped down to just a pair of black boy shorts. She didn’t find herself often wondering what to wear. They were staying in, but she wanted something a little more sexy than her normal lounge clothes, but she didn’t want to appear overly eager either. She stood in her closet stripped down to just a black pair of boyshorts. She finally settled on a men’s white button down she had in the back of her closet. It was big on her and rested above her knee. She buttoned it up about half way, leaving a lot of skin on display. She rolled her sleeves up to her elbow before she sat back down on the couch and waited on Aubrey. 

Aubrey walked through the door with a large pizza and an overnight bag slung over her shoulder. She was in a black jacket wrapped tightly around her body. Beca stood up. “Hey,” she grinned. 

“Good evening, Beca,” Aubrey smiled back. Her eyes trailed up and down Beca’s body. “You look very good in that shirt.” 

“Thank you,” Beca smirked as she took the pizza from her and put it on the coffee table. “Want me to take your jacket?” 

Aubrey crossed her arms and her cheeks went bright red. “I may need to just change. I was already on the way when you texted me.”

Beca titled her head. “Why would you need to change? What are you wearing?” She asked her. 

“Wouldn’t you like to know, Mitchell,” Aubrey replied, but with no real bite. 

“Yeah, I totally would, Posen,” Beca said as she stepped forward. Her hands reached for the belt of her jacket and Aubrey smacked her hands away playfully. “Come on, Bree,” Beca whined. “Let me see.” 

“It has been two whole weeks since I have seen either of you, and I might have missed it,” she said as she dropped her hands to her sides. “And I guess I wanted to impress,” she said. 

Beca could feel how nervous she was. “You don’t have to do anything special to impress,” she said as she moved a little closer. She brought her hands up to the tie of her jacket again, this time Aubrey didn’t stop her. 

Beca could feel her green eyes staring at her as her hands opened the jacket. Beca’s breath caught in her throat—then a noise escaped that wasn’t words. “Oh, fuck,” she finally whispered as her eyes trailed down Aubrey’s body. 

Aubrey bit her lip nervously. “Do you like it?”

Beca couldn’t speak. Her head just nodded up and down slowly as her mouth hung slack as she stared. The blonde was standing there in a black corset that showed off her chest and a sliver of her midriff. She was in matching black panties, a black garter belt, black sheer stockings, and black stilettos. Beca shucked the jacket off her shoulders before her hands went to her hips and pulled her flush to herself. “You don’t need to change,” she finally mustered out. 

Aubrey grinned proudly. “No?” 

“No,” Beca shook her head. “You look stunning, Bree,” she said before she pressed their lips together in a kiss. It started off soft, but quickly turned sensual and heated. Beca pulled back enough to look into her eyes. “Let’s go to the bedroom.” 

Aubrey giggled. “What about dinner, Beca?” 

“Food can totally wait. I want you now,” Beca said, already walking them backwards towards the master. She prayed she didn’t trip and totally ruin the suave thing she was going for. “When a woman comes to you in black lingerie, you unwrap her.” 


Chloe got home the next morning with donuts earlier than expected. She slipped past the sleeping women to shower the clinic off of her quickly before she followed a trail of black lace back to her bed. 

Aubrey was on her back with Beca laying on her chest. The brunette had her limbs wrapped around the blonde. They were both very naked. 

Chloe looked up to see green eyes staring at her sleepily. “Morning, Chlo,” she said quietly though her voice was hoarse with sleep. 

Chloe smiled at her. “Good morning, you,” she said. “Did you two have fun?” she asked. 

Aubrey gave her a bashful smile. “Yes, we had an amazing time.”

“I am very happy for you both,” Chloe yawned as she dropped her towel. “I know Beca is a total Koala, but is there room for me?” 

“Yeah, of course, Chlo,” Aubrey said as she raised the covers on her free side. “Get in here.” 

Chloe smiled as she slipped in beside her and settled in. “I’m a little earlier than I thought I would be, because the next shift came in early to relieve me. I did bring home donuts though. They are on the counter.”

“We missed you last night. I have missed you,” Aubrey said as she kissed the top of her head. 

“I have missed you too, Bree,” she said. “I don’t want to go that long without seeing each other again.” 

“Me either,” Aubrey replied softly. “I don’t have to go into the office this weekend. Maybe I could stay here?” She asked. 

Chloe smiled against her warm skin. “Yeah? All weekend?” 

“Yes, if I wouldn’t be intruding,” Aubrey answered. 

“No intrusion at all. We would love for our girlfriend to stay the entire weekend with us,” Chloe said as she leaned up to kiss her lips. “Means I can get rested before I show you just how much I missed you.”

Aubrey felt her cheeks grow warm. “I really do like the way that girlfriend sounds,” she said.

“I do too,” Chloe admitted. “It may have taken us like fifteen years to get here, but it feels right.” 

“It feels so right,” Aubrey said as her eyes fluttered closed. 

Chloe kissed her neck and then her chest before she settled on her chest beside her wife. Chloe’s arm went over them both, and as her eyes closed she saw their new future.
