Nice to see you guys enjoyed the first chapter... time to try and get some more.

Chapter 2:

Neo let out a yawn as she opened her front door. Happy she didn't hear the dog she often felt jealous of. As it opened she could see Yang just sitting on the couch smiling faintly at the sight of the much smaller girl. Closing the door as she yawned again. Quickly stepping on the heels of her shoes letting a goofy smile take over at the feeling of the freed digits.

Walking over to the couch she plopped down next to the blonde and closed her eyes. As much as she enjoyed the amount of money Junior paid her, and the friends she had there. She also loved her little girl, but this was one of the few times a day she was able to be by herself.

Yang let Neo do her small ritual as she rubbed her leg that had become stiffer than normal. Just glad that the twins had decided to help. That just left actually figuring out some plan to push them back together.

"How was she tonight?" Neo asked as Yang smiled a little. "She was well behaved. And so much like Ruby. Like all I did was make some peas to go with some fish sticks and I caught her twice trying to feed them to Sprinkles." Yang spoke as she Neo just glared half heartedly at her.

"We both know you can glare at me as harsh as you want... not going to change the facts." Yang continued as she stood up her leg feeling a bit sorer from her just sitting down for a couple hours straight. "How is Ruby really doing though?" Neo asked softly.

Desperately wanting to hear that Ruby was doing well. Even though she knew that every time she asked it was the same answer... Ruby just drank every night and took her pain killers periodically. But she would still hold out hope. "She... she still drinks at night. But again, I'm thinking it has less to do with the prick that we have the pleasure of calling 'dad' and more to that night you had to leave." Yang said softly as Neo frowned again. That had been the hardest decision she had ever had to make. But everyone assured her that she was making the right decision.

"I should actually be getting back to her... she probably threw herself onto the couch and passed out." Yang said as she walked towards the door. Seeing Neo stand up once more. "Thanks again Yang. I won't need you till Monday again. But feel free to call over whenever you want. Cerezas loves spending time with you." Neo spoke as Yang smiled back.

"Mommy?" Neo heard behind her, causing her to smile more. Turning around to look at the little girl holding her stuffed black and white bear in one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other. "I had a bad dream..." The small girl spoke as Neo reached down and picked her up. "I'm sorry to hear that baby."

"You go take care of that one Neo. Night night Squirt." Yang said as the small girl with red tipped hair craned her neck. "Night night auntie Yang..." Cerezas got out through a yawn as Neo rubbed her back trying to soothe the small girl. "Safe back home Yang." Neo said as Yang smiled back and closed the door.

'Time to go make sure my over grown child didn't do something stupid... again.' Yang thought as she could hear some loud humming coming from the home she just left. Making mental note that it was a very catchy tune. One that she couldn't help herself but to hum as well.

She relaxed at the feeling of the cold as she walked towards her car. Quickly unlocking it and getting comfortable. Pulling out her phone to see a new message. Rolling her eyes she pressed the call button quickly holding it to her ear. Once she heard someone answer the phone she also heard some faint yelling.

"What do you mean you had to take her wheelchair away?" Yang asked as she heard some fighting coming from the other end. "She said she was going to go the club and kill our dad for letting your dad in six years ago." One of the twins yelled into the phone as Yang winced from the yelling.

"Just, place her in the bath and turn the shower on cold. Or place on the deadbolts that'll stop her a lot more than you think. I'll be back in about ten minutes. Neo just came back. So I'll see you guys then." Yang said not even waiting for a response as she hung up.

'Well... at least it is that part of the night. All that is left is her crying stage about Neo... and then her wanting to eat pizza... so easy stages next.' Yang thought as she turned the key in the ignition. Just hoping the rest of her night would be as easy as she thought mentally. But also knew that the hardest part to get Ruby through would be the drunken regret from her pushing Neo.


Ruby groaned as she felt one of the twin's bodies sitting on her back as she began to attempt to drag herself and whatever twin that was sitting on her back out. She had to get back to Junior to strangle him. He was the reason for this. She just knew it. That would explain why he put so much money into trying to get her to walk again.

As soon as Ruby got within reach of her goal she felt another body sit on top of her. "Just Get off of me! I'm Just going to stab 'im a little." Ruby slurred out as the front door opened to reveal her blonde sister. "Get them off me! I just need to kill 'im" Ruby continued as Yang frowned.

"Guys...get off her. She can't reach the elevator buttons, and can't get down the stairs." Yang said as the identical duo stood up letting Ruby crawl a bit faster.

Bending down and picking up her little sister from the floor. Ruby began to frown crossing her arms as Yang cradled her like an infant. "Mel... get her chair. Milt... get her something to drink. This is just a stage she goes through every night. Next she is going to cry because she fucked up with Neo."

As Yang spoke to the twins she could see a small trail of tears falling from the girl in her arms. "I miss her Yang..." Ruby cried as Yang smiled. "I know Rubbles... let's get you to bed then." Yang spoke as she ignored the twins as she just carried her sister to her bedroom.

She could hear some huffs coming from the twins as she walked towards Ruby's room and opened the door and frowned at how the room was a slight mess. Deciding that she would just clean it in the morning she placed Ruby on the bed. Carefully tucking Ruby in under the large blanket despite the slight tossing and fighting the blanket.

"I'm not tired Yang... I just want Neo back. You can drive." Ruby declared as Yang just shook her head at Ruby's statement. "You guys broke up from your drinking, and your violent streak while you drink. So wait till your at least a little more sober... and stay sober for a while." Yang hushed as Ruby's fighting died down.

"Can you sing to me like you did when we were younger?" Ruby asked as Yang rolled her eyes. 'God... even the daughter you don't know about is easier to put to bed than you...' Yang thought as she began to hum the tune she heard Neo hum earlier.

Yang noticed her younger sister's futile fighting begin to die down almost instantly. Almost as if that tune calmed her down almost instantly. Something she had to be sure to at least get a recording of Neo humming it. Just because of how much it calmed her down.

After humming the segment of the tune Yang heard on loop for what felt like hours Ruby began to join in as she yawned. Her eyes closing as she pulled the blanket up to her neck and smiled, as the song began to fade as sleep clearly took over the smaller girl. As if the song was created with the sole intention to put Ruby to sleep.

Once Yang could hear the calming sound of Ruby's breath evening out she stood up from the bed, smiling as Ruby's expression turned to a much softer one. Almost as if she had no problems with the world. She quickly looked at the nightstand making a mental note to place her painkillers there when she brought in her wheelchair.

Quickly walking out of the room she could see the both of the twins just glaring lightly at Yang. "What?"

"Why did you tell us to get the stuff if you were just going to put her in her bed?" The white twin asked as the red twin spoke up, "And more importantly how is she that freaking strong?" Yang said nothing as she grabbed the wheelchair from the duo and quickly reached over and grabbed the orange bottle on the lamp table.

"Because she skipped over the stage and went straight to crying about Neo the second I mentioned her. And normally if she goes to sleep at that point, she won't wake up in the middle of the night. But we can still drink I just need to leave these with Rubes." Yang said as she dragged the chair while winking towards the twins.

Just figuring that she could make the best of this situation. Deciding to just take a seat and hope that Yang could clarify what they had just witnessed. They had never seen Ruby act like that. They knew that this was their first time spending time with Ruby by themselves while drinking since she broke up with Neo. They had both just hoped that it wasn't a common thing if they were meant to do something to help Ruby and Neo get back together.

Glancing at the half consumed bottle, before quickly opening it and pouring three glasses. Before long Yang plopped down on the couch smiling. "Welp, that is done. Now to drink. My responsibilities are done for the night." Yang spoke grabbing the glass and bringing it up to take a drink.

"How is Cerezas?" Mel asked taking her own glass up and taking a drink. "Just like Rubes... like even hates the same things. Kind of funny considering that they've never met." Yang responded leaning back on the couch just resting her arm behind the twin in red who leaned in.

"So how are you doing?" The white twin asked as she quickly walked around and took a seat on Yang's other side letting her identical counterpart drawing nonsense patterns on Yang's leg. Hoping to get some sort of reaction. "I've been good... better now that you both are here." Yang flirted back, as she tilted the remainder of her glass into her mouth, before placing the glass on the table and pulling the white twin closer.

Mel began to run her hand along Yang's covered muscles smiling. "How about we go to the bedroom... it is a little late." Yang smiled and spoke a simple 'sure' as both twins stood up and quickly helped the blonde woman up.


Ruby awoke to the blaring pain in her back and some faint memory of the twins sitting on her. Pulling herself up a bit more, loathing how tight Yang had always tucked her in. Glancing over hoping that Yang or the twins had placed her pain killers where she normally would.

Smiling at the orange sight, she grabbed the bottle and quickly took two of the pills. Looking around to she could see her wheelchair was on the other side of the bed. Groaning a little she threw the blanket off of her as she crawled over towards the chair. While she was still on the safety and softness of her bed, she double and triple checked both of the breaks were on before she tried any sort of movement onto it. Her head and back already killed her. She didn't want to be on the floor first thing in the morning.

With all the strength she could she pushed her chest up and dragged herself over to the other side of the bed, regretting the fact she still kept the double size bed, but just knew that one day, somehow, she would get someone like Neo. Wincing as she made contact with the chair a bit rougher than normal when she would throw herself in it in the morning she let a faint smile grace her lips.

'I hope Neo is in a better situation... she deserves so much.'


Neo felt a small hand grab her exposed arm and lightly tugged it. Opening her eyes she could see her daughter's red tipped hair yawning. "Sprinkles wet the bed mommy..." The girl spoke as Neo was fully awake now. There was no time to rest. Her daughter needed her. "Was it Sprinkles? Or was it you? You know I won't be mad if it was you." Neo asked calmly as her daughter's gaze drifted down and she muttered something.

"Sorry I lied mommy..." Cerezas spoke looking up with her eyes filled with tears as Neo smiled at her. "You told the truth, so now you only will get a small punishment for lying. No strawberry milk today." Neo said asher daughter deflated a little bit. Standing up and grabbing the girl's hand Neo spoke again, "Come on... let's go get you and Sprinkles cleaned up."

'I just know I'm doing the right thing... Ruby may not like it but Yang even said she is like their father when he drank... I just can't imagine Cerezas living like that.' Neo thought like she did every morning. She had to, just so she wouldn't put her baby girl through the likes of things that made Ruby and Yang as bitter as they are.
