Fifteen years ago today, thirty-eight year old Ruby Rose married her best friend, partner, and lover Weiss Schnee, in front of everyone her father, family, teachers, comrades, and before her mother's stone, Ruby promised to spend the rest of her life with Weiss. Her marriage with Weiss had its ups and its downs, but Ruby was incredibly happy and so was Weiss, only problem was, Ruby had no idea what to do for her snowflake this Anniversary.
She was sitting on her couch, digging through pamphlets of possible vacation ideas or romantic night out, anything since she was definitely running out of time, it was about ten in the morning and Weiss would be home around 10 PM tonight.
Weiss had a company airship that took her from Patch to Atlas in about an hour, it was a very fast but expensive luxury, but it meant Weiss could work and still make it home on time or in case of family emergencies.
As Ruby struggles on possible ideas, white rose petals fall as a girl dressed in blue, with a white cloak, white hair with red highlights, and bright silver eyes appears beside ruby.
"Hello my little petal, what are you up too?" Ruby asks her second oldest child.
"Nothing mom, just seeing what you had planned for mother, or... you don't have anything planned do you?" Ruby blushes as she looks away embarrassed she could be read so easily.
"I thought so, want some help?" Ruby looks back to her second oldest child Summer as she raises an eyebrow.
"From who?" Ruby questions and on command, five more people burst into to the room, first Ruby and Weiss' adopted eighteen year old daughter, Louise Rose-Schnee. She had grown into a true beauty, dark hair down to her back, bright silver eyes, a white cloak just like her adopted sister Summer and her adopted grandmother of the same name.
She was currently the only one who was dating that Weiss and Ruby knew about, being Ruby and Weiss were very protective, but given that it was Cotton, the daughter of team CFVY leader Coco and teammate Velvet, and Louise's own teammate now at Beacon they let it slide.
Next was the third oldest child, Nicholas William Rose-Schnee, he had dark black hair and red highlights much like his older twin Summer, but he inherited Ruby's silver eyes like his twin but he looked more like Weiss then his sister Summer, who in typical Rose fashion was a dead ringer for her mother and grandmother, Nicholas and Summer were fourteen but he was taller like his mom Ruby, Summer was more like Weiss earning her the nickname 'Short-Stack'.
Then came Maxi and Willow Rose-Schnee, they both had red hair and looked like twins but they were one year apart in age. Maxi being twelve and Willow being eleven. They both had blue eyes as well as being well spoken and quite mature for their ages.
Then came Ruby and Weiss's youngest James Qrow, He was born with silver eyes and white hair, he resembled Ruby but being eight he wasn't gonna be much help to his older siblings but they were a very close family so they stuck together, something Weiss and Ruby burned into their brains.
Ruby looked at all her children with a wide smile, and sighed happily cause she knew she needed help, Weiss deserved the very best for such a milestone, it certainly wasn't a easy fifteen years of marriage, not in the sense they didn't love each other and weren't happy but given Ruby was always running off on missions, Weiss was worried pretty much every second Ruby walked out that door till the day she'd come back though.
"Alright kids, any help would be greatly appreciated, and one with the best idea for your mother gets my cookie recipe first." Ruby joked, she wasn't giving her kids the famous rose cookie recipe so soon but they all grinned happily, luckily for ruby they all had a sweet tooth just like her.
—Atlas SDC HQ—
Back in Atlas a forty-one year old Weiss Rose-Schnee is currently conflicted, she desperately trying to find the perfect gift for the love of her life, Ruby Rose-Schnee. She leans back in her chair, she was so confused on what to do for her perky wife of fifteen years.
"I wonder.. perhaps the kids can help me." She questions, not knowing what else to do weiss picks up her desk phone and she calls her son Nicholas, she holds the phone close as he picks up on the other end.
"Nicholas, are you currently by your mom?" Weiss questions.
"No mother, I'm currently in my room Is something wrong?" Nicholas asks lying, as he's in the dining room with his siblings, Ruby had stepped out to shop since Summer's idea to decorate the whole dining hall as a surprise for their mother Weiss.
"I need help my little petal, I'm not sure what to do for our anniversary, and being you're the most responsible one, I guess I'm hoping you could work with your siblings and help me. Now I have a gift waiting at Weapon-N-Things but other then that, I'm not sure." Nicholas suddenly realized both his parents were hopeless today as he facepalms. He looks to his siblings as they are all watching, each one making decorations to hang up in the dining hall he sighs, can't possibly let ether one know they were helping were helping the other yet.
"Don't worry mother, I'll get the present and then call you soon as I get home, ok?"
"Yes that's okay, thank you, just please don't let your mom see it ok? Love you son."
—back with just the Rose-Schnee kids—
"Love you too mother, bye" Nicholas smiles and hangs up and then rubs his eyes.
"What's the problem bro?" Summer asks as her twin gives her a classic Weiss look of 'you won't believe this.'
"That was mother... she wants our help too.."
"Well.. how do we do this?" Louise asks as Nicholas think. He claps his hands together with a smile.
"I got it!" He exclaims. His siblings watching, waiting for his explanation.
"We split up, I'll take Willow and Waxi, Louise you take Summer and James, we will help with our mothers' tasks, you guys help mom with hers since this was your idea Summer."
They all just looked at him, then each other as they nod in agreement, Willow and Maxi stop what they are doing, walk over to Nicholas.
"What are we gonna do for mother big brother?" Willow asks as Nicholas checks his scroll, typing in the store his mother mentioned.
"Well we are going to Weapon-N-things first."
"So that leaves us three to what?" Louise questions, Nicholas shrugs.
"Call mom, see if she found anything out shopping, but finishing the decorations would be the best, keep in touch, We want this to all work well together."
And with that, Nicholas, using his Semblance, rushes from the house with his two younger sisters, leaving behind a few white and red rose petals, being twins and having Schnee blood as well Summer and Nicholas had the extremely rare trait of being born with two Semblances. Both had speed and the skill of glyphs.
Louise sighs, as she pulls her scroll out, Summer and James watch her.
"What are you doing Louise?" A wondering Summer asks, Louise holding her finger up.
"Calling a few people and a favor in my young sister, now I need you two to finish the decorations, then get them hung I'll be right back to help." Summer and James quickly get back to work making the paper decorations as Louise wonders off.
—back in town—
A conflicted Ruby walks around the Shopping District, she's busy looking for anything that could possibly be a good gift for weiss on their anniversary, so far coming up with nothing that screams the heiress' name to her.
She then comes to a adult clothing store, she thinks about a sexy nightie, then again that's how James was conceived, 'That was a very good night.' Ruby thinks as images of it flash though her mind, Weiss was so beautiful, the chocolate strawberries and Weiss... such a combo it still made her drool a bit, Weiss was very fit still, Weiss loved Ruby was more toned then herself and Ruby loved how soft Weiss was.
Ruby still couldn't believe they have been together this long, her own parents were only together a very short time, many Hunter marriages don't last longer than eight or so years, and Ruby has been with Weiss for over twenty years but only together together for fifteen, still Ruby knew this anniversary deserved something grand, Weiss deserved it for staying so strong and by Ruby's side all these years, but what to get her? Ruby still wasn't sure as more ideas ran through her head.
She was so lost in thought she didn't hear footsteps come up behind her as a hand is gently placed on her shoulder.
Ruby jumps soon as she feels the hand on her shoulder, she spins around weapon drawn as a dark brown haired rabbit Faunus with sunglasses reflecting ruby back at herself holds her hands up.
"Oh.. Cotton, Sorry kiddo.." Ruby laughs nervously as Cotton slowly lowers her hands.
"Geez, Mrs. Ruby, I know you are protective of Louise, but didn't think you'd shoot me." She jokes as she slips her sunglasses off and pockets them in her backpack.
"No no, you make Louise very happy, I'd never shoot you, just trying to find the perfect gift for Weiss, and you caught me off guard." Cotton looked to the store Ruby was just facing, as a bright blush appears on her face causing her ears to fall fall.
"W-well u-um... I-I'll help.." Ruby giggles, she sees cotton getting easily flustered from only one look and looking away quickly, She's sure the young bun was fantasizing about Louise, Ruby grabs a hold of Cotton's hand and drags her away to continue shopping.
"Come on you little bun, you can help me by getting away from this store, I ain't ready for grandbabies." Ruby giggles again causing cotton to blush brighter.
They end up checking almost every store, from antiques to even weapons. Ruby and Cotton finally end up on a bench in front of some random store.
"I'm sooo dead..." Ruby says throwing her head back. Meanwhile Cotton without Ruby knowing starts to type a message to Louise.
"Hey my honey bunny, I'm with your mom now, I'm keeping her busy, your brother is free to slip over to Weapon-N-Things, don't forget I better get my carrot cake, or I'll be mad ;) -Love, Cotton"
Ruby looks over to Cotton as she taps on her shoulder, Cotton looks in Ruby's direction as she sends the secret text.
"Yes?" The bun says, Ruby tilts her head.
"You um... okay there Cotton? You've got this nervous vibe going on." Cotton blushes and slips her scroll away and quickly jumps up.
"I'm fine Mrs. R, say why don't we check out the antique store again." Ruby smirks, stands up and stretches. She checks her scroll and puts it back, it was four thirty now, she was definitely running out of time.
"Fine, got no idea what else I could get her, so guess more looking couldn't hurt." Cotton drags Ruby off. In another section of town Nicholas and his two younger sisters stop in at Weapon-N-Things, after getting the text from Louise that Cotton would distract her.
"Willow, Maxi remind me to thank Cotton with some carrot treats next time she stops over."
Maxi and Willow give him a thumbs-up, as the three head inside, Nicholas walks right up to the front counter, and rings the bell as the cashier comes over Nicholas almost faints, a girl with red hair, green eyes dressed in blacksmith clothes smiles at him.
"Hey Nicky, what are you doing here?" She cheerfully says as he blushes heavily.
"H-hey R-Rochelle... I.. I um... ah.." Willow and Maxi watching their older brother freeze up, both girls shake their heads in disappointment, Willow walks over and and looks up to Rochelle.
"Hello, we are here to pick up a special ordered weapon from the SDC account."
"Oh? Nick why didn't you say so." She smiles, she walks off and comes back with a package. "This was ordered by Beck?" She Questions.
"Yes, our mother Weiss' assistant ordered it for our mother, to give our mom Ruby a present on their anniversary." Maxi replied.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, it just said beck at SDC." She hands the package to Willow, she looks back to Nicholas, he's still blushing madly.
"So Nick, I guess I'll see you later? I wouldn't mind if maybe we can hang out later. You know before Signal starts the new semester." She writes her number down and hands it to him, he takes it slowly as Rochelle winks at him. "See ya Nicky." She walks back to the workshop, Nicholas standing still as a statue causing Willow and Maxi drag their older brother out of the shop and making him hold the package.
"Brother... you need lessons from Summer on keeping your cool, that was pathetic." Willow says, grabbing her scroll, she calls their mother being Nicholas was still blushing madly and frozen still from embarrassment.
"W-Well Summer doesn't do much b-better!" Was Nicholas's reply, Willow and Maxi just gave him a slow head shake.
"Hush now, I'm calling mother." Willow says, waiting for her mother to pick up.
Back at the Atlas HQ Weiss looks and sees it Willow, she picks up the phone with a smile.
"Hello my little flower, how are you?" Weiss sweetly asks. Weiss was once called the 'Ice Queen' but years of being around Ruby and having children had changed Weiss so much, anyone who didn't know her back then wouldn't understand how she would even have a nickname like that.
"I'm fine mother, but Nicholas needs some help with the opposite sex."
"Why? What happened?" Weiss questions.
"Well, he froze up when a girl named Rochelle brought us the package." Weiss suddenly remembers Ruby telling her about Nicholas's crush on a classmate named Rochelle. Both Nicholas and Summer were attending Signal Academy where many of the kids attending were also living in Ruby's hometown, the place Weiss has called home for over fifteen years now.
"Is he ok?" Weiss asks.
Willow puts her hand over her scroll and looks to Nicholas.
"Hey! Mother wants to know, are you ok?"
Nicholas blushes, he sits down and folds his arms after setting the package next to him and looking away.
"He's fine mother, now what else do you want us to do?"
"To be honest my little flower, I was wondering, could you and your siblings put up decorations in the dining hall? Then pick up a cake for me from the baker? I'll repay you when I get home."
"Ok mother, I'll grab the cake from the baker, hopefully no more girls are around that make Nicholas freeze up like a statue."
"I heard that!" yells Nicholas, Weiss heard it as well and laughs a bit to herself, Nicholas was like her in that category, Summer was much more like Ruby but she could keep her head much better then Ruby could at her age, and wasn't too into being the really really cool girl like her mother Ruby tried to be.
"I'm counting on you kids, so please make sure you don't let mom find out ok."
"I promise mother, see you soon." Weiss smiles, even though no one could see her, the joy her children brought her could always make her smile
"Love you Willow, see you soon"
"Love you too mother." She hangs up, "Hey Nicholas, do you know where the baker is?" He pulls his scroll out, he looks for the closest baker.
"Yes, just a few blocks away." He replies, Maxi picks the package up, Nicholas stands up and starts to lead them to the baker.
Meanwhile, the team of Louise, Summer and James finishes up the decorations, Summer feeling proud of herself, she hung banners and balloons, the whole nine yards herself. Louise didn't help as much as she said she would, mostly just Summer and James doing the best he could.
Summer does ask herself where her sister could have gone, but shrugged it off as she patted her youngest brother's head.
"Good work James." Summer smiles. James smiles back widely.
"No problem summer!" He smiles. "Think mom and mommy will like it?" He asks excitedly making Summer chuckle a tad.
"Yes James, I'm sure they will love it." Summer tells him as Louise walks back in looking at all the Decorations
"Hmm... looks good, but not enough streamers, and should have used more colors." Louise says looking at the room in whole
Summer was fine, but hearing her older sister's criticism just made her snap.
"Well! Where were you Louise!?" screams Summer, Louise is taken back by her little sister's outburst, "If you don't like it, fix it then!" Louise walks over.
"What was that for?" She questions Summer.
"You up and vanished! James and I had to do this all! The entire room! You have the nerve to complain! What were you possibly doing!" yells Summer, Louise smirks.
She points to the door as family and friends come in quickly, Summer sees her aunts, uncles, cousins and other friends as they bring in food and gifts.
"Our parents may think this is for only them, but these people were there to see them grow, fall in love and get married too. So figured I'd round everyone up and get them all set for return flights in the morning." Louise smiles.
Summer feeling like a heel, scratches the back of her head. Louise smiles and pats Summer on the head like a little kid.
"Hey no worries baby sis, we still got things to do, I'll help you finish up but I'm expecting you to hang Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Grimm." She jokes, Summer grins. Her and Louise help the family and friends set up in the big room, then finishes the decorations that Louise mentioned just before.
They set up food and games and other things so to celebrate well into the night, only thing left was for the other three kids to hurry back, and then for Ruby and Weiss to come home.
Back with Ruby, hours of shopping left her tired and ready to hide from her beloved wife, in fear that no gift would cause her to blow with anger. She sits in a heap on a bench, Cotton beside her, Cotton looks at Ruby as she panics.
"Hey Mrs. R, what would you give to Mrs. W if you had to pick?"
Ruby thinks to herself. "Weiss is flawless, If you look up the world 'perfection' Weiss is right there under the definition. She has endured fifteen years of being a Huntresses wife, fifteen years of late nights caring for their children. All the PTA meetings, and school activities, I missed it all and Weiss had to handle it all alone, if I could, she'd get a diamond that shines as bright as she does, a true super parent, something that shows her how deeply I love her."
Ruby jumps up, rose petals float around her.
"I want something that captures us now, something to say this journey together was as meaningful to her as it was me."
"Go on" Cotton says.
"Like how I almost blew us off the mountain our first day at Beacon, to our first time as partners taking out the Nevermore with Yang and Blake." Ruby goes on and on about the past events.
Cotton sits, watching Ruby closely, listing to everything, she closes her eyes and thinks as Ruby talks. Cotton pulls a medium sized canvas from her backpack and some paints and brushes, Ruby, so lost in her explanation of Weiss, pays little mind to the bun.
Cotton starts to paint, she opens her eyes and skillfully starts a beautiful family portrait listening to everything Ruby is saying in account, she makes a border with small paintings of all the different events and things Weiss and Ruby had been through.
From their first mission, to their wedding, the kids. Everything Cotton fit well and skillfully, she then painted the family. Ruby, first with her bright red cloak and her hunting gear, bullets and other items strapped to her person. Then, Weiss the love of Ruby's life right by her side, dressed in her most respectful home attire with Ruby's cloak behind them and Weiss' head on Ruby's chest, Weiss' left hand on her chest as well and Ruby's right hand holding Weiss' hand tightly and showing both wedding rings, and her left arm holding Weiss protectively with both smiling happily, you could even see in the painting how in love they were, Cotton has seen the love first hand as well, so Incorporating it was extremely easy.
Then Cotton painted the love of her life, Louise next to Ruby and Weiss. She definitely didn't need any help with Louise, Cotton blushes as she continues to work then she paints Summer and Nicholas, followed by Willow, Maxi and James.
Cotton then adds to Ruby's cloak making it surround the family as they huddled together, happy and all sharing Ruby's trademark grin, as rose petals float around them from reds to whites and whites to red.
"Hey Mrs. Ruby, hows this?" She faces the portrait towards ruby.
"How's wha...? Whoa..." was all Ruby could say, the painting was absolutely amazing, the detail was like it was a photograph. Ruby could even see the shine in weiss's eyes, she looked to Cotton mouth ajar.
"H-How!?" Was all the reaper could say, Cotton just grinned.
"I have a very good photographic memory like my mom, but I can't copy weapons and such, but I can memorize people places and things, I can also picture things with just descriptions and from there poof!"
Ruby smiles widely. "Oh thank you so much! It's perfect! I really owe you Cotton!" She grin at Ruby, Ruby reaches for it to look but Cotton yanks it away.
"C-Cotton! Why did you do that?" Ruby questions.
Cotton look at Ruby with a serious yet happy look. "I'll give it to you, but that thing you said you owe me, I was hoping you'd let me discuss it with you." Ruby slumped her shoulders, whatever this was, she was sure she wouldn't like it.
Cotton motions for Ruby to walk with her. "Come, let's walk and talk. I'd like to discuss this in detail."
Ruby defeated, followed her as they make their way back to Ruby and Weiss' home. Meanwhile on the other side of town a gust of white and red rose petals litter the streets. Nicholas with Willow and Maxi arrive back at their home, package under his left arm, cake tacked in with his right arm and with willow and maxi hanging off of him.
"Ok... let go.. this was hard enough." He struggles to say as they both go and each take a box, causing Nicholas to fall over panting, he had great physical strength, thankfully from his grandfather Tai, but stamina not so much yet.
"Brother, don't lay in the grass you will stain your whites." Willow says walking away and heading inside with Maxi leaving Nicholas to lay in the yard mumbling about how inconsiderate his two sisters were sometimes, a shadow of a person covers him causing him to look for the source. He sees his twin Summer standing over top of him now.
"So... you just gonna lay there sour-puss?" She questions.
"Shut up Summer.. I just lugged a cake, and some heavy gift along with two little pains." He says miserably.
"Well, I think you should get up, mom will be home then mother, the party is almost ready to start."
"Party? What party!?" Nicholas questions loudly causing him to jump from the ground.
"The Anniversary party!" yells a young blond boy with cat ears and bright violet eyes, as he walks over. "Hey cousin!" He loudly yells hugging Nicholas tightly.
"Hey Cubby.. mind letting me go.." Nicholas asked as he feels his overly affectionate cousin let go of him.
"Now, why is there a party!?" yells Nicholas once again.
"Simple, Louise called everyone and told them to come over and help"
Nicholas sighs.
"I got mad at Louise for not really helping, but actually she did a lot more then I knew, by the way I heard about your little problem earlier today."
Nicholas title his head to one side. "What problem?" He gets his answer though.
"Hello Nicky, your sister called me, hope we can hang out while I'm over." Nicholas freezes up realizing what Summer meant.
Nicholas turns around to see the bright green eyes from earlier today meet his causing him to blush. He doesn't even notice Rochelle's outfit which is a pair of jean, a blues blouse and white under shirt with black boots.
"R-Rochelle.." He gulps, leaving Summer to giggle.
"I invited Rochelle to the party bro, hope you don't mind." She leads Rochelle in leaving Nicholas to stand there blushing.
Cubby throws his arm around his cousin and watches Rochelle walk away rubbing his chin.
"Damn, is she single?" This question causing Nicholas to turn bright red causing his cousin to back off.
"You speak to her again Xiao-Long... I will rip your limbs off and beat you with them." He says with a grin, Causing Cubby to feel a cold chill down his spine, wasn't so much the fact Nicholas threatened him but the fact he said it so calmly and with a smile.
"R-right... no touchy" Cubby nervously responds.
Nicholas walks inside after his twin and crush leaving Cubby to start staying at least five feet from his cousin for the rest of the night at least.
Ruby was rounding the corner with Cotton, having reached an agreed payment method, Cotton was smiling ear to ear well rabbit ears. Ruby was a tough negotiator, so hopefully Weiss doesn't kill her but Cotton did an amazing job on the portrait of the family, they walk up to the front door of the Rose-Schnee mansion.
She opens the door walking in and heading to the ballroom to see how the kids did, she opens the door as a monstrous group of people yell.
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" Causing Ruby to jump throwing the covered painting high in the air.
"Shit!" She screams as she jumps to grab it then landing safely on her butt, protecting the portrait, she looks up to see all her friends and family. She even sees Professor Port, and Glynda Goodwitch.
"W-What are you all doing here?" Ruby questions loudly trying to catch her breath.
Oscar walks up from the crowd, looking a lot like Ozpin, but that would be expected since Ozpin gave Oscar his power.
"Well, your daughter called us Ruby, not often a Hunter can enjoy fifteen years with the same spouse and stay so in love." Oscar holds his hand out to help her up.
Ruby take it as he pulls her up. She looks at all her friends and family, Yang and Blake walk up with their four year old Lily who was pretty much a small clone of Blake right down to her facial expression and eleven year Tai who looked much like his older brother Cubby but he was a brawler and built more like Blake's father.
"Hey sis, can't believe you didn't remind us." Yang poking fun as she playfully boops her sister's nose.
"Yeah, we would have helped you do something Ruby, I mean we are a team still" Blake says also booping Ruby's nose.
"Yeah... I should have, but I kinda of got conflicted on what to do."
Blake and yang look at each other and smirk.
"Ruby, for your tenth anniversary you got Weiss a pair of shoes and a sweater. I recall Weiss wore those shoes for almost two years." Yang reminds her.
"For your eight anniversary you burned the kitchen of your old house to charcoal trying to make cookies for Weiss, I remember cause Yang had to help put it out."
"On your twelfth anniversary you were away and came home late only brining Weiss a kiss and a rose home." Ruby was feeling really down now, slumping her shoulders and sighs.
"Are you guys trying to hurt me by saying I ruin our anniversary." Yang rolls her eyes
"No sis, what we are trying to tell you is Weiss loves you more than anything, you two never stop showing the other how you feel, this shouldn't have been so hard for you both, but you also have family and friends who love you both too, and we wanted to help make this one the best anniversary yet, so how bout it?." Ruby smiled widely and hugged her sister tight.
"Right yang." Ruby looks at the clock on her scroll. It was nine forty-five. Her eyes almost bugged out of her head. "Shit! Everyone! Get ready weiss will be here in fifteen minutes!"
Everyone got ready and prepared to surprise Weiss. Said Heiress was currently on her way home from her long ride on her airship, she was now in her limo as the driver was taking her home. Weiss has a drivers license but she really didn't need it, Ruby would drive her or her driver would, she stretches kicking her shoes off and yawned. She couldn't wait to get home and have some cake and cuddle with Ruby, she wished she had gotten a hall and had a party but it was a weekday, it wouldn't be fair, she didn't know if anyone would come but maybe on Saturday she'll throw a party for everyone.
"Mrs. Schnee, we have arrived, will that be all?" The driver asks over a speaker to which Weiss replies.
"No, that's all Maxwell, thank you, hope you have a good evening." She gets out as he waves from the driver's seat and he pulls away, she always liked being dropped off in front of the house at night.
She'd look at her home for a few minutes everyday after work, growing up her mansion was only a house, but this house was a home, it was full of love, the love her and ruby had built and that had created six loving children who made Weiss' past worth the pain. Weiss holds a hand to her stomach and smiled, She slowly walked to the front door and walked into darkness.
"Ruby! You home? Kids!" Weiss yells which gets no reply. She walks farther in all the lights are off, no sounds just silence.
"I wonder if the kids got the cake?" She wonders as she walks to the main dining hall, she opens the door as everyone jumps out once again screaming.
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" Weiss jumps like Ruby, Weiss looks at everyone, she sees her old teachers, her friends from school, her in-laws and nieces and nephews even her older sister and her fiancé and Ruby's honorary Uncle Qrow, that still puzzled Weiss but hey she thinks who was she to pass judgment and then seeing Whitley and his Faunus wife Clair and those two children and her own children, only person she didn't see was her wife of fifteen years.
Before she can question anything she feels two arms wrap around her waist and a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey beautiful, did I tell you how much I love you?" Weiss smiles.
"Everyday, but how did you do this all?"
"I didn't, the kids did, we apparently both asked them to help us." She grins as her and Weiss look at their six kids, each one holds a gift.
"We have a lot of gifts to open, I hope you know that ruby." Ruby still grinning holds weiss tighter.
"I know, come on let's have some fun."
Ruby drags Weiss into the mix, they start with the anniversary presents, Weiss surprised they found gifts so fast, but still enjoying the company.
The party is going well, the party pauses soon thanks to one teenage bun named Cotton, everyone looks because she has something very important to say.
Cotton's own parents walk over with puzzled looks, Cotton gives them a bright grin then clears her throat.
"Hey everyone, as you all know, I'm Coco and Velvet's daughter Cotton Adel, what you might not know, is I'm currently dating Louise Rose-Schnee, and seeing how her parents have had fifteen years of nothing but love has inspired me." Every looks to Louise as she blushes brighter than Ruby's cloak.
"What you don't know, is this" she walks over to Louise. "Louise you're my team leader, though Oliver and Krystal aren't here at the moment, we are still team lock, and speaking of lock I need to ask you this." She gets on one knee Louise getting brighter then she has been before.
"Will you marry me Louise?" She smiles presenting Louise a ring with a decent sized diamond.
"Yes!" Louise screams, tackling Cotton and everyone clapping
Weiss tries to run over to stop this, but Ruby holds on to her tightly, Weiss looks back to Ruby with fire in her eyes.
"Ruby!? What are you doing! She's too young to get married!" Ruby holds Weiss' hand tightly.
"She's been with Cotton since they were four Weiss, we can't keep them from growing up, much as we can try it's better we just support them or they will end up doing it anyways. I mean Cotton even asked me today, we worked out how the living arrangements will be till they can move out on their own. I'm sad too but our little petals are growing, we can't keep them here forever" Weiss was listening but can't believe what she's hearing. Ruby is making actual sense.
Weiss looks back to Louise and Cotton as they hug tightly, she can't help but fight the tears but Ruby is right, she sees the the happiness in Louise's face as she and Cotton embrace tightly.
Ruby let's go of Weiss, everyone walks over congratulating the young couple, Weiss looks to Ruby who's smiling.
"What did she do to get you to agree to this?" Ruby smiles and pulls Weiss away from the party and goes to their living room.
"Ruby what are we doing here? We do have a party going on."
Ruby walks to the fireplace and points up, Weiss looks only seeing what looks like a painting with a cover. She raises an eyebrow in confusion.
Ruby yanks the cover off as Weiss can't believe what she's looking at. It was the most beautiful thing she's seen other than Ruby and her children.
"It's beautiful Ruby... but we might need another one soon." She blushes slightly.
"Well, I guess but for now it's perfect." Ruby grins but Weiss takes her hand.
"Ruby, I need to tell you something."
"What Is it love?" She smiles pulling her close and kissing her softly then pulling away so their noses touch.
"Open your gift from me first, it will explain it all." Ruby rushes in and back with a large package.
"This one?" Weiss nods, she sets it down and opens it up as her eyes light up, she pulls a large new katana out.
"Now that's a katana!" Ruby yells smiling till it hits her, Weiss doesn't normally buy her weapon unless. "Weiss are you... are you?"
"I'm pregnant" Weiss smiles causing Ruby to blink.
"W-What?"
"I'm pregnant." Ruby starts to tear up now.
"R-really? Really really? She questions happily.
Weiss grins happily, "I just found out at while at work." Ruby puts her new weapon down and hugs Weiss tight.
Ruby pulls away but looking into Weiss' eyes "Weiss Schnee, I love you."
"And I love you Ruby Rose, forever and ever." they softly kiss holding each other.
"So one last little petal to raise?" Ruby grins, Weiss nods and holds her tight.
The party starts winding down, everyone getting tired ether finds a spare room or couch to sleep on, Rochelle starts saying her goodbyes to every but Nicholas who's standing far way from her drinking a soda.
Nicholas sighs, Louise walks over to him.
"You like her don't you?" To which Nicholas blushes and looks away.
"Yeah... why?" He questions.
"You just saw what Cotton did right?"
"Yeah... what's your point?"
"Well my point little brother, is this. If you love her then she's worth the embarrassment right?" He looks over to her then back to Rochelle. "You know I'm right." Nicholas sees Rochelle walk out, he sets his drink down and races after her.
Louise smiles, Cotton walks over and gives her a kiss on the cheek. "He finally listened." both girls giggle.
Rochelle is out on the front lawn, suddenly a burst of rose petals hit her blocking her vision. Once it's clear she comes face to face with Nicholas.
"R-Rochelle! I.. I.. um." Rochelle giggles and shoves Nicholas playfully. "W-What was that for?"
"Look, I like you Nicky, I'm tired of waiting. I will meet you at the Big-N-Juicy Burger Shack, you better be there at 9 PM, Friday, okay?" She smiles and kisses his cheek.
Nicholas blushes and puts his hand to his cheek to see if it was real.
"Ahh.. ah yeah! I'll see you at nine." He says with far more confidence then he has before. A silver car pulls up next to the curb as she walks over to the car she waves back at Nicholas
"Well here's my brother, I'll see you then Nicholas."
He's still feeling his cheek watching her walk away, smiling the whole time.
Summer appears next to her brother with a smile. "I'm proud of you little brother, you did good."
"Oh will you quit it you dolt! You have no dating experience and I wish you'd stop." Summer smirks, Rochelle gets in as a very attractive young man with long red hair dressed in a standard beacon freshman uniform waves for Summer's attention.
"Hey! Summer! We still on for Saturday? I've been trying to call you all day!" Summer smirks at her younger brother, leaving Nicholas to not believe what he's seeing.
"Oh most definitely Tony! I'll text you tonight, had to get a new Scroll." She waves to him as he gets back in his car and drives away, Summer smiles and hits Nicholas playfully to antagonize him as she races inside he follows suit after her, the whole time Weiss and Ruby watching from there bedroom window.
"Ah, young love. Nothing like it. Guess we should prepare for a double wedding." Weiss says as Ruby holds her tight.
"Mhm.. now enough spying love. Time for our end of anniversary activity"
Weiss laughs at Ruby's statement. "You mean going at it all night?"
"I wish, sadly no just cuddles, I'm way to tired from today, hope that's ok." She said with a loving smile.
"You know it is love." Ruby picks her up bridal and carries her to bed, cuddling close then kissing once more before as they hold each other, visions of the past fifteen years go through both their minds. It was hard but it was a journey through life well spent, Ruby loved Weiss with all she could, and Weiss loved Ruby.
After all the fighting they both got what the wanted, a loving home, kids and each other, one grew up feeling socially awkward, the other grew up in a house that made her feel unloved and cold.
Now both were better people cause of the other, now all Weiss and Ruby could think of before drifting off to sleep was, here's to another fifteen years.
