It was another Saturday for everyone else. To Rosa though, every Saturday was special. She stared at the wall clock in her office, not minding the strange looks her brother gave her as he explained to her an issue that was probably important.
"Are you even listening?" her brother finally asked. Her silence was a good enough answer for him, knowing she must already be counting down the seconds.
Her brother sighed as he combed back his green hair "I'll lock the door on my way out."
Rosalind finally remembered she wasn't alone in the room "Did you say something, bro?"
"Just tell her hello for me ok?" her brother smirked as he left the room, locking the door behind him.
The raven haired girl had to remember to make it up to her brother later when she was done with her call.
She opened her Skype and waited for a certain name to go online.
The name would always appear at exactly the same time every time on every Saturday.
'Wolf Queen is now online'
And Rosa hit the call button immediately.
Even through the low quality video, the woman on the other side of the screen was still the most beautiful girl in the world to her.
"Good Evening, Tsuki."
"Good Afternoon, General."
The greetings was weird at first but after a few weeks of Skyping, it was like they were still in the same time zone.
"You look tired" Rosa frowned "Are the children at the university too much for you?"
"Hardly" the redhead laughed "Just the usual, a building caught fire because of a student's homemade flamethrower."
"Doesn't sound that bad to me, the school has fire extinguishers after al-"
"Then!" Rin interrupted "A few of the Vurdon threw explosives into the fire."
"Well-"
"The Myntan were in that building, creating robots" Rin interrupted once more "When the sprinkler system came on, the robots got wet and went on a rampage around campus."
"…Just another day at the office?"
"More or less" Rin sighed "I'm a little glad to be home already…"
Rosa's fingers tapped her desk. If she was there she would probably help Rin out at school somehow but she was at Germany right now, some help she is.
"I wish I was there for you…" Rosa didn't realize that she was speaking out loud until Rin spoke back.
"But you can't be all the time" Rin said "I understand you have to be there."
The raven haired girl checked the calendar beside her computer. Just one more week. One more week until she can go back to Gangyu for a few days. She already bought a bottle of expensive wine for the both of them. She couldn't wait to see the look on Rin's face when she would walk through the door.
Her lips formed a smile and Rin spoke "You're acting weird again."
And of course Rin has no idea about her little plan.
"It's nothing" Rosa laughed "I just can't wait to see you."
Rosa could barely make out the pink tinted cheeks of her girlfriend on the screen but she knew it was there. "When would that be though? Last time you said you were going home yo-"
"Hey is that mom?!" the voice of their daughter, Blaze, was heard in the background before the younger girl appeared in front of the camera "It is! Hi mom!" she waved.
Rosa blinked, her daughter had unexpectedly saved her from answering and spoiling the surprise "Hey there Blaze, how are you doing?"
"Doing great mom" Blaze smiled "You wouldn't believe the day I had-"
"Blaze…" Rin said, facing her daughter "What did I tell you about interrupting me and your mom during our Skype calls?"
"You're not the only one who misses her, mom" Blaze said crossing her arms.
"Then you can call her on your own later!"
"But she's already there I don't see why I have to call her again later."
Rosa simply watched as the two argued. Knowing the mother daughter pair, nothing she would say right now would get them to stop fighting. She should be worried about the two fighting, but Rosa knows that's just how they are and it wouldn't get too bad. That's the charm of their family.
Family.
She never would have expected it but that's what Rin and Blaze were to her now. They weren't a perfect family but most of the time at least, they were happy.
"Hey mother" a blond boy appeared on screen "I was wondering what they were fighting about this time."
And of course there was also her son, Cilantro.
"Can you make sure they don't hurt each other too much, Cilan?"
"Will you take me back to Germany if I do?"
"Don't push your luck."
Yes. This was definitely her family.
