_[ STORY ]_
Ruby and Yang awoke curled into opposite sides of their mother her silver eyes looking at them tenderly, full of love.
"morning mommy," Ruby said.
"Good morning mama," Yang mirrored.
"Hello my darlings, did you two sleep well?" Summer asked stretching as she stood up from the couch where she and the girls fell asleep last night watching a movie.
"yep," they both said.
"I'm glad, your father's making breakfast, go wash up," she said shooing them upstairs well she headed to the kitchen.
She walked in not only to find Tai at the stove but also Qrow slumped over the table an ice pack over his neck, a cloak draped over the chair and his weapon by the door.
"You forgot to wipe your shoe's; now there's mud all over my clean floor," she scolded a moan, and a mumbled sorry was the only reply he gave.
Summer came over to him, taking the defrosted ice pack, "hey," he shouted whipping his head around to face her, reviling a bruised eye, and scabbed cheek.
He regretted it as his vision swam when it clears he found himself on the floor one leg stuck on the chair.
"Hurt again I see," she said.
"And you look ridiculous," Tai chimed in.
"Seriously, Tai...oh forget it. I hurt too much."
"UNCLE QROW!" two high pitched voices squealed, as feet thundered on the floor.
"Oh, no" he belted as the tiny body's landed on his battered abdomen and chest.
He gritted his teeth against the pain as they bear-hugged him, and bombarded him with questions, all the while Tai laded out food, laughing "it's what you get for being on the ground when those two are around, among other reasons," he teased.
Summer came over to them, "alright you two let your uncle up, it's time to eat," she told them.
"Okay," they grumbled taking their seats.
"Don't worry I'll let you tackle him one more time before we leave."
"Why do you have to leave mama?" Yang asked between bites of eggs and potatoes.
"I am a huntress Yang and have been assigned a task. Qrow is my partner on this job. We'll be back in a few days, I promise!" Summer told them.
That afternoon Qrow and her left, he was the only one to come back...
The memory faded from Summer's mind as she watches over her girls as they got ready to leave for Beacon, she was so proud of them, of all they had accomplished. She was saddened by how Qrow reacted to her death, drinking was useful to no one, though he did pass on his fighting skills she was happy about that, and poor Tai he lost two loves but has two other's to care for now. Summer knew everything would be alright in the end.
