Beca had definitely went downhill as the night went on. Her and Chloe had been in bed for a good hour and a half and she still couldn't sleep, she was tossing and turning, kicking the duvet off before pulling it back on again. She was a mess and a nightmare to sleep beside.

"Shhhh." Chloe soothed softly as she reached over and gently rubbed Beca's back. The redhead knew she wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon so she was currently on her laptop, writing some of her new book.

Beca whined as she kicked the duvet off her again as a flush of heat ran through her body again. She had only just taken a couple of pills so she was still waiting on them kicking in.

The window was open and the AC was on, Chloe was freezing but Beca had a fever and didn't want her overheating. "You alright baby?" The older woman asked sympathetically and Beca rolled over so she was lying on her back.

"I'm too hot." The brunette grumbled as she wiped the sweat from her brow.

"Why don't you take your shirt off?" Chloe suggested softly, pushing her fiancée's hair away from her sweaty face. Beca didn't sleep in much anyway, normally just a t-shirt and her underwear, as she pointed out many times, she didn't like wearing pants when she didn't need to.

With a groan, the 24 year old sat up and pulled off her shirt, throwing it onto the floor. She threw herself back into the bed before snuggling up to Chloe, feeling cold again now that she was completely topless.

"Better?" Chloe asked as she shut her laptop down before placing it on the night stand.

Beca only hummed, letting her eyes close so she could try and go to sleep.

"Aww my poor sick babies." Chloe pouted sympathetically as her eyes shifted from Hailee to Beca. The two were sitting at the breakfast bar, both wrapped in blankets, silently sipping on soup.

The redhead was sitting opposite them, typing on her laptop.

"What time is it?" Beca asked, sounding like she was losing her voice.

"12:30." Chloe replied, checking the time on the corner of her screen.

"I have rehearsal at 3." Beca said weakly before taking another spoonful of soup.

"Rehearsal?" Chloe furrowed her brow at her fiancée. "For?..." She trailed off.

"The MTV Movie Awards next weekend, I'm performing remember?"

"Oh yeah. That's next weekend? I didn't realise how close they were." Chloe said as she looked back at her screen. "You can't go to rehearsal though, not when you're like this." The redhead shook her head as she began typing again.

"I have to." The brunette whined.

"If I'm stuck here, so are you." Hailee said quietly before coughing.

"Babe, you can't go." The older woman chuckled in amusement at how ridiculous Beca was being. "It's only Saturday, you've got a week to rehearse."

The 24 year old rolled her eyes and exhaled loudly before continuing to eat her soup.

"You're the cutest little dude ever." Jesse tickled his little 5 month old nephew, Nathan. Now that Stacie is pregnant, Jesse immediately volunteered himself and his girlfriend to babysit his sister's baby.

"You're gonna be an awesome dad." Stacie smiled as she watched her boyfriend sit down beside her on the couch, holding Nathan on his lap so he was facing him.

Jesse smiled softly back at her before looking back at Nathan.

The little boy reached his chubby little hand out to Jesse with an adorable smile on his face.
