Welp this is going to be fun… for me. As for the meaning of the title it is an Irish Song which is about rebelling against the British… shocker that. both versions. It translates to 'Oh Ro You Are Welcome Home'… as for the phonetics, I'll add those later.

Chapter 1:

Staring down at the marble grave marker the red cloaked figure smiled. Ignoring the way the frigid air bit into her skin. The cloak provided all the warmth that she needed. What warmth her garb didn't provide was more than made up for by the warmth of the two extra bodies behind her.

Turning around, she smiled at the red and hazel eyes staring back at her. They offered all the strength that she ever needed. The green hair of the dark skinned girl was something the woman in the red cloak found beauty in. She knew from the way she was dressed she must have been freezing up on this cliff side, but the woman in red knew that she would stay out there as long as she needed it. What was normally her flawless ebony skin now a much lighter shade, almost blue was proof of that.

Turning her gaze to the other love of her life, the girl dressed in red knew that she wasn't nearly as cold, but it was clear through the way she tried to pull the beret down more to try and protect her head and the way she kept pulling her sleeves down to protect the palms of her hands was evident she was about ready to leave as well.

"Come on." The girl dressed in red spoke as she unfurled her cape and draped it over the ebony woman. "I told you both to dress warm." She said as she grabbed one of their hands into hers, trying to show them how much this one event meant to her. They had seen her at her worst and now they will see her into a new era.

Once Ruby finished the last paragraph, already knowing the eyes she felt reading it over her shoulders was one of her girlfriends making her frown. Closing the notebook she turned around and was met with the sly grin of her red eyed girlfriend. "I knew you wouldn't have the heart to leave it on a sad note…" The green haired woman who Ruby based the character off of spoke causing Ruby to smile as said woman held out a paper cup for Ruby to take.

"You know I don't like it when you do that… just because that may not be the final product. I don't think it is believable. I mean… how could someone survive getting shot repeatedly by a sniper rifle?" Ruby asked as she took a sniff to see what her girlfriend had gotten her."Thank you for the hot chocolate though." Ruby muttered taking a sip as she felt her other hand getting taken by the ebony skinned goddess that Ruby was often forgetful of how she got her let alone her and her other amazing girlfriend.

"That doesn't matter. You said it yourself, it isn't in the real world, but a fantasy one." The green haired woman responded as she took a drink from her mug and smiled at the expression on Ruby's face. "I'm sure if Coco would get her ass back here, she would enjoy it if she could read it as well." The woman across from Ruby continued taking a drink from her own paper cup.

Smiling as she looked back at her girlfriend and took a large gulp from the cocoa her green haired girlfriend had brought her. After a few calming minutes Ruby spoke up again. "Did Coco tell you how long she'll be?" It wasn't that Ruby disliked spending time with Emerald, but she also enjoyed it when Coco would come back home. Even if it was every weekend. But this was her last week, so now Ruby and Emerald would have time with Coco once they got off.

The only downside would be the times Emerald now would feel the need to ditch school leaving Ruby alone there as well. Shaking her head a little, as she hoped to just dispel those thoughts for know. She didn't need Emerald to worry. "She shouldn't be long. Are you sure you want us to be with you? I know I've asked this every year for the last few years… but I mean… it just seems slightly wrong." Emerald spoke as she prayed that Ruby would be able to put her thoughts to rest, but it still felt wrong for her and Coco to go to the graveyard with Ruby.

Staring into the red eyes of her girlfriend Ruby frowned a little. "If you don't want to be… I'm not going to force you. I just need you guys there as well. Mom doesn't like going and I only feel safe with you two… you both know how much this hurts me… but I need to visit before Christmas." Ruby spoke as she looked down. She had no idea why just the thought of Emerald missing out. But she also couldn't blame her.

Feeling some fingers wrap around her chin tilting her head up causing her slight confusion that left as soon as the green haired girl planted the kiss onto her lips. Intentionally trying to force Ruby from this train of thoughts. She knew where it would end.

A loud throat clear pulled the duo apart. Emerald smirked as Ruby pulled her hood up and began to try and force herself into a small as possible form. She felt the seat next to her dip a little under the new weight. She could have sworn she heard her green haired love snickering.

Ruby could just feel an arm snaking it's way around behind her and quickly pulling her closer as another hand pulled her hood down a little. "Come on my little gem… I just got jealous..." Ruby heard causing her to blush a darker shade as the newcomer spoke more and more.

"I'm sorry Coco..." Ruby got out as she tried to shy away a little more causing The beret wearing brunette tilt her head a little more as she planted a chaste kiss on the younger girl's lips. After a few seconds Coco pulled back taking in the sight of Ruby seemingly at peace. "All better?" Coco asked as Ruby nodded still blushing. "So… where is some love from my green gem?" Coco asked as Emerald smiled and leaned across to plant a chaste kiss on Coco's lips.

Ruby smiled at the sight of the two most beautiful women she had ever seen kissing like that, knowing that they were also hers. After a few minutes where Ruby wanted to interrupt but was just enjoying the sight she began to relax. "So… what do you want to do after we visit your family Ruby? It is my first night back and I want to enjoy it with you two lovely ladies." Coco asked as Ruby frowned.

"I could only get a few hours extra out… Salem really doesn't like it when I break curfew, and she wanted to do something… just the two of us." Ruby lied as Coco and Emerald both frowned. "But we can still have fun. Don't frown… I'm meant to be the sad one today." Ruby continued, noticing the smile developing on her girlfriends' faces.

"I guess that just means we have to make the most of it. And maybe you and Em can ditch school tomorrow and we can just spend time curled up under a blanket watching bad movies." Coco said as Ruby frowned a little more at Coco's comment. "Ruby wouldn't do that. She is too innocent to take a day off. Like remember that day that she came in with dislocated arm?"

Ruby frowned at the playful teasing. Not so much from the comments but from that memory… it was one of many that Ruby just couldn't stand. "I just want to get into a good college…" Ruby half lied half pouted as Coco kissed Ruby's forehead. "It is okay Ruby. Let's go and talk to your dad and sister." Coco responded as she stood up.

Smiling a little as she stood up just from how much she forgot that she enjoyed being with her girlfriends. Whatever fate had befallen her in the past and whatever will befall her in the future just didn't seem so bad. As long as she would have her ebony skinned goddess, and her fashionista girlfriends it would never matter what life would throw at her.

As Ruby stood up she slipped her notebook into her book bag and quickly took hold of Coco's hand in one of hers and Emerald's in the other. She smiled as they walked towards Coco's car. She could see Coco holding the paper cup that held Ruby's hot chocolate inside even taking a small sip from it when she clearly thought Ruby wasn't looking.

Ruby didn't mind the small stealing sips from her hot chocolate. She oddly felt slightly closer to them when they did small things like that. It was a joy she was oddly enthralled by those simple gestures. Most would consider them to be annoying, but it made what awaited Ruby once she got away from their protection seem somewhat bearable. Once they got close to Coco's car Emerald practically shouted 'Shotgun' as Ruby just smiled at her.

"Fine… it just means I get to write more with no one looking over my shoulder." Ruby said sticking her tongue out towards the green haired woman. Something that the other brunette holding onto Ruby's left hand heard and looked towards her green haired girlfriend. "You know she hates that…" Coco began as Emerald looked at her. "Was it any good? Did it at least end well? It is very important for the ship I created in my head."

"I liked it…" Emerald commented as Ruby glanced between the two. "Right here… and I'm not sure with it. Just feels like it was wrapped up too easily… and removes the potential for a sequels entirely." Ruby pouted as Coco smiled leaning down and planting a kiss on the top of the shorter girl's head.

"It's fine babe. I'll love it regardless if the characters based off us don't make it through that shit show. I mean… I got nearly gutted, Em got shot. You were broken mentally by that one person… what was her name again?" Coco asked, genuinely angry that she had forgotten the name of the main antagonist to Ruby's recent story. All she remembered was she hated the person.

It was something Coco had found funny on a number of occasions, the way Ruby crafted her characters made them seem so fake… and yet so real. Coco was surprised that she could never place who the antagonists were based off of. It was something that Coco could never place the antagonists of anything her girlfriend wrote. Almost as if Ruby peered into the very essence of a person and could only extract the worst traits of a person once the door was shut leaving only her and one person in a room.

"I didn't give her a name… if I had to pick one… tradition dictates it would be something to describe witches. Like Maleficarum… or Malice… maybe Salem after the witch trials." Ruby muttered as Coco held the back door just behind her seat open for Ruby. "I'd hold back on naming her Salem… your foster parents may not take it in the same stride." Emerald spoke as she walked around the car quickly opening the door.

Smiling as she took her seat, moving her back just a little bit closer to the center of the seat as Coco closed the door for her. A simple thought bit away, just barely getting contained by her. 'That is why I haven't named her… it is too on the nose. She doesn't like the fact I've named an antagonist after her fucking daughter.' She pressed her head lightly against the glass as she ideally pulled the seatbelt across her chest.

Once Coco climbed in, in front of her Ruby spoke up "Let's just stop talking about how Em broke the one rule I like to keep… and what I should name a character for a story I'm not even remotely happy with. This is meant to be a sad day… it's been twelve years."

It wasn't that she disliked them taking her mind off the topic she rarely if ever talked about, but that searing memory from her past… one that often woke her up in terror more often than what Salem had planned on any given night… she just wanted to think about that one night right now.

"No Summer! I can't stand you being here endangering our children!" Tai yelled as he blocked the woman from entering the house. Where his children were cowering in what he assumed was Yang's room. It was the only place Ruby felt safe when Tai wasn't there with her.

"You can't kick me out! This is my home!" Summer yelled at the blonde haired man as she tried to get back in. She couldn't stand being kicked out right now. Not when she needed somewhere she could relax and just take her mind of everything.

As the brunette haired woman tried to push her way through again she was met by a firm pair of hands pushing her back. "You, will not, step foot in this house until you are clean Summer. I will stand here and protect our daughters until then. Now you have five minutes to get off the property before the cops get called."

Summer let out a huff as Tai stood firm. Clearly not going to budge. "Can you at least give me something to stay warm with?" She asked, hoping he would leave long enough for her to get in so she can get what remained of her stash.

Almost as if sensing what she was planning Tai spoke up, hoping Ruby would be safe for the few scant minutes without Yang near by. "YANG! COME AND GET YOUR MOTHER'S COAT!" Tai hoped that this was going to be enough. He didn't want to have to resort to it, just because he knew the terror that always seeped into them once they saw her. Something that he would rather not let happen, but he couldn't turn his back on her right now.

The way her eyes were dilated meant one thing. That she was high. On what he had no idea. But he couldn't take any chances right now."I can't dad! I not only don't want to see her but Rubes is scared… so am I!" Tai heard yelled causing him to frown visually.

"You step in I'm getting my gun." Tai stated as Summer smiled a little at it. She knew that she may just be able to get in.

Ruby walked over to the marble slab as she placed the flowers she was glad they stopped for her to get. Taking a step back so she could sit on the blanket Coco brought with them. Smiling at the fact the surprisingly warm weather wasn't a deterrent for them. Instead she just joined the small group cradling.

Emerald wrapped her arms around Ruby pulling her tight as Coco held onto her. Just enjoying the comfortable situation despite the setting. Ruby embraced the warmth and security she was feeling. It was almost perfect to her.

"Hey Daddy… Yang… sorry it has been a while." Ruby spoke as Emerald rested her head on Ruby's shoulder. Hoping that she would be able to help ease her smaller girlfriend's mind a bit more. "You guys remember Coco and Emerald… we're still together. Going on two years now." Ruby continued hoping that her girlfriends would humour her at least.

She knew that this was something that they always found strange, but she also knew that they knew it helped her. "Hey Tai." Coco spoke as Emerald continued for her, "Hey Yang."

"School is going great… I'm still getting some of the best grades in the school." Ruby said as Emerald laughed a little and in a tone that she knew came off as she had no idea how to feel, she spoke up. "She isn't wrong. She is crazy good at school… makes me feel a little dumb sometimes."

Ruby relaxed as she took a deep breath. Unsure how she was meant to tell them the next part. Even if it was something that she needed more so guidance but Coco and Emerald offered very little in that. Deciding to just go for broke she decided to speak the truth.

"Mom contacted me again… she still wants me to visit… and I just don't know if I can."

"Did you know about this?" Coco asked, hoping it was quiet enough that Ruby didn't pick up on it. Knowing full well it was nothing but a false hope. They were too close right now for her to not hear it. Moving back a little to look at the other brunette she was sandwiched between. "First I'm hearing of it." Emerald spoke hoping that her hurt was at least wasn't that obvious.

Ruby would normally tell them about those things… but every time they had told her to follow what she believed… and right now she needed something more concrete right now. "We can talk later guys. I just need to vocalize it right now." Ruby muttered as she stared at the stone, the one that showed to the world how a ward of the state is screwed emotionally. The same stone that is all that remains of what Ruby considers her true family legacy. Not the one the newspapers had dramatized.

Instead of talking the trio just sat there in silence. The eldest and green haired women of the trio just wanting to be there for Ruby. Something she was deeply thankful for.

"I need to leave now..." Ruby spoke, just barely managing to hold back the tears as she talked."Bye Daddy... Yang." Ruby continued as she let the tears fall. Not seeing the point in hiding them if it was just her and her girlfriends.

She could feel a hand leave her midriff and slowly brush the tears away. Causing her to smile a little fondly at their concern. Knowing Coco would have if she was even a little closer. "I'll be sure to be back sooner guys." Ruby spoke quickly disengaging from the embrace to crawl over and place a hand on the marble slab. "I still miss you both though every day." Ruby continued leaning down and placing a kiss on the slab.

Author's Note:

Okay this is a little shorter than I intended… but I feel it is a lot better to leave off. This story will be once a week. I was given the bare bones from a suggestion by Ovan21 who told me about a story called 'A Chance At Happiness' in the W.I.T.C.H fandom. Not that this story is going to be the same. As for the phonetics it is Oró Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhalie - Oh-ro shay d'oh Va-ha Wal-lea
