"You've got to be kidding me..." Aubrey tutted.

"What? I thought Asia was a country!" Stacie justified.

"I thought I could trust you!"

"You CAN trust me!"

"Well, clearly not! You said that you knew the answer!"

"I did!"

"I told you it was C but you chose B!"

"But it sounded right!"

The blonde huffed. "Of course you would choose THAT over me..."

"Bree, come on..."

Stacie's pleading didn't help much. Aubrey was extremely competitive when it came to playing games and it didn't matter if it was against a simple console game, the blonde was out to win. Stacie loved her wife more than anything but she hated how the older woman got so competitive sometimes. Yes, Aubrey had come a long way since college where she was a complete and utter control freak and Stacie had quite a bit of work to do in order to undo what Aubrey's military father had programmed into her. Stacie was still working on Aubrey's controlling and competitive nature but she was nothing like she was at Barden.

"Mommy! I got you a snack!" Little five-year-old Bella announced as she waddled into the living room with a bowl of chocolates.

"Aww! Thank you, sweetheart!" Aubrey cooed. "You're so cute!" The blonde kissed her daughter's brown hair lovingly, causing the girl to crawl onto her mother's lap and hug her.

"You're stealing my wife, kid, I won't let you do that," Stacie teased.

Bella giggled and kissed Aubrey's cheek. "I love you, mommy."

"I love you, too, baby girl." Aubrey reciprocated Bella's kiss and gave her a quick squeeze before Bella hopped off her lap and left the living room.

"She's totally your daughter," Aubrey stated, eating the chocolate in her lap.

Stacie quirked an eyebrow. "How so?"

"Giving me candy and telling me she loves me - something she's learned from her mama."

"What can I say? I'm the best wife around and you're lucky to have me..." Stacie flicked her hair cockily, causing Aubrey to smack her arm before focusing her attention back onto the TV.

"Right, Round Three. Please, trust me next time with the answers, okay?"

"Hey! I got some of them right!"

"You're never right, Stace, you're a lefty." Aubrey broke out into giggles, which totally astounded the brunette since the comment was so random and juvenile but Stacie was happy that her wife was calming down a bit.

"You're so weird," Stacie chuckled.

"It's the pregnancy hormones!" Aubrey whined playfully.

"Bree, you're only three months pregnant."

"And you know that's when the hormones start to go a bit crazy."

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, Bree."

"I don't hear you complaining when my sex drives flares up."

"That's different."

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, Stace."

Stacie laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Oh! Before we start, can you get me a hot chocolate to go with this?" Aubrey asked.

"Woman, you are going to sell out all of the chocolate franchises at this rate!"

"It's the cravings!" She whined again. "Stop being lazy and tend to your wife who is carrying your baby."

"I'm not lazy - I'm saving energy."

"Stacie!"

"Alright! I'm going! I'm going!" Stacie got off the couch and headed into the kitchen.

"Oh!" Bella gasped once she saw Stacie grab the chocolate powder. "Can I have a hot chocolate, mama?"

Stacie turned and looked at her daughter who was colouring peacefully at the kitchen table. Usually, Bella wasn't allowed hot chocolate, sweets, or anything like that after seven but Bella was Stacie's baby girl and she could hardly say no to her.

"Alright, just a little one."

"YES!"

"Just don't tell, mommy, okay?"

"I won't! Thank you, mama!" Bella raced over to the taller woman and hugged her legs, causing Stacie's heart to melt.

It was things like that, which made Stacie want to give Bella anything she wanted. She was such a good girl and Stacie and Aubrey were so proud of her so it was only right that she got everything she wanted - in Stacie's opinion anyway.

"Stacie! What's taking so long?" Aubrey called from the living room.

"Coming now, honey!" Stacie quickly finished making Aubrey's beverage then gave Bella hers in the miniature mug. "Here you go."

"Thank you, mama!"

"You're welcome. Give me a kiss."

Stacie leaned down and received a peck from her daughter, making her feel ten feet tall as she waltzed back into the living room.

"One hot chocolate for my sweet..."

"Thank you." Aubrey pecked Stacie's cheek as she sat. "Now, are you ready to win this round?"

"Of course. We've got this."

"I hope so."

"Ye of little faith..." Stacie put an arm around her wife, kissing her head soundly as they continued on with their game.
