A/N: so the reason I'm calling this prologue part 2 is because it doesn't really get into the children of Ruby but more establishes other things, probably will be a part 3 then the story begins. So yeah, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm delaying the story I just want it to flow nicely. In any case thanks for reading and leave a review if you want to.

Ruby sat patiently at her kitchen table, she was fiddling with her prosthetic arm to help pass the time. Why was she not busying herself with something less mundane? Because she was waiting for her sister and her girlfriend show up at her house. Ruby had invited Yang Weiss to catch up with them, but she was also planning to give them their happy news of having a baby. Blake and walked into the kitchen to find Ruby passing the time. She smiled and walked over sitting beside her. "Careful, it'd be really hard to reconnect a wire with only one had." Blake teased knowing Ruby had already down that more than once. "Yeah yeah, I learned my lesson about that." Ruby said as she removed the small screw driver from the interior workings of her arm. She then lined up the covering plate and began to screw said plate in place.

"How's it feeling?" Blake asked, curious to how the limb affected her mobility. when Ruby first received the prosthetic it wasn't as easy as she made it look now, it was heavy for one thing. Because of where her arm was severed Ruby still had her elbow which meant all the weight of the prosthetic was on that joint. The first model she had was metal and weighed too much for her to fight effectively. Ruby decided for the second one she'd have it super durable plastic capable of take a sniper shot from point blank. Ruby smiled and flexed her plastic fingers, making sure the connection to her nerves was strong. "Good, This models so light compared to the first one it feels like the weight of my old one."

To the surprise of both Blake and Ruby there was a hard knock on the door. Ruby stands up and steps out the kitchen to open the front door of their home. When Ruby reached the door she looked through the peephole and immediately smiled widely. She swung the door open to find her sister Yang, who was for some reason carrying Weiss in her arms. Weiss looking away from her and seemed partly irritated. "Hey rubes, long time no see." Yang saids with her usual smirk. "Hey Yang! Why are you carrying Weiss?" Yang chuckled and looked to Weiss. "My darling said her feet were sore." Weiss turned her head with an angry look on her face. "I said more than ten times that I was perfectly fine to walk!" Weiss groan and pinched the bridge of her nose. "In any case, hello Ruby it's good to see you." Ruby smiled "good to see you too ice queen." "Im ignoring that."

Yang then reluctantly puts down Weiss and the two stepped into the house. The three joined Blake in the kitchen sitting at the table. "So rubes what was the big news you had for us?" Ruby smiled and held Blake's hand. "Well to put it simply me and Blake hav-" Weiss' face brighten up with realization and remembrance. "Wait! Before you continue I have a present for you Ruby." Weiss reach for her hand bag and began to rifle through its content. Ruby looked on with a bit of eagerness in her gaze. "Here we are!" Weiss tells her smile growing as she handed a small box to her once leader. "Here you are Ruby Rose, please enjoy!"

Ruby took the box from Weiss and looked it over. It was wooden with Ruby's emblem engraved into the wood, the engraving was also painted over with rose red paint and seemed finished with a coat of waxing. It was about twelve inches tall, 6 wide, and three thick. The top cover would easily slide off. "Well? Open it!" Weiss said her impatience getting the better of her. Ruby giggled at the woman's impatient words and began to open the box. The inside of the box was covered in red velvet, a material that Ruby loved for decoration. But what caught Ruby's eye was what was in the box.

Inside were a pair of black silk elbow length gloves with red edges and Ruby's emblem on the backside of the hands. "Oh my god Weiss, these are beautiful." Ruby said in astonishment as she slipped the gloves on and admired how well they fit her hands. "Did you make these yourself?" Weiss smiled as Ruby looked the gloves over. "I did, i needed Yang to get me a picture of your emblem so I could properly make a replica." Ruby smiled as she slipped on the second glove. "They're beautiful Weiss thank you."

Ruby closed the box and wrapped her right hand around Blake's left. "Now for the news, me and Blake have decided to have a baby." Yang and Weiss looked to Ruby and Blake in shock and said in unity. "Really?" Blake was a bit confused by their reaction, she expected a bit of screaming and maybe some crying from Yang, but she didn't expect a look of shock. "You two okay?" Yang recovered first and spoke. "Uh yeah it's just, me and Weiss made the same decision a couple days ago." Ruby and Blake mimicked Yang and Weiss' reaction, even saying the same word. "Really?" The two nodded, and Yang grinned. "I say we get some doughnuts to celebrate. The blonde said leaning back in her chair. "Sure sis, but you're going to get them." Yang frowned but sighed and stood up "alright I'll be back." Blake stood up and pushed her chair in. "I'll join you Yang, I could use a walk."

Once the two left the house all that was left was Weiss and Ruby. Weiss smiled and spoke first. "So which one of you will be carry the baby?" Ruby sat up in her chair and smiled. "I will. What about you two?" "Me of course." Weiss stated very proudly. "Nice, have you told anyone else yet?" The white haired huntress rubbed her knuckles on one hand. "Just my sister, my parents only barely let Yang and I stay together after what happened so I don't think they'd react well to this." Ruby sighed remembering that horrible night, she tried to not think about it. "Me and Blake haven't told anyone either, we wanted to let our team know first." Ruby said with a smile, attempting to raise the spirit in the room. Weiss smiled enjoying Ruby's attempt to bring up Her spirits.

"How have you been doing with... you know?" Weiss said in a some what concern tone. Ruby tensed up slightly having a strong feeling she knew what her teammate was referring to. "I mean, I'm gotten pretty use to my prosthetic!" Ruby said trying to tiptoe around what Weiss was referring to. "No Ruby, I'm talking about the nightmares." Ruby just chuckled. "W-what are you talking about Weiss! It's been a year since-" Weiss slammed her hand down. "Ruby!" Her voice was filled with concern and anger. The red cladded huntress sighed and sunk in her chair. "I've had a couple, every few weeks." Weiss frowned in sadness. "Is it the same dream every time?" Ruby nodded and looked at her prosthetic arm. "Yeah, a frightening accurate recap of what happened to me."

Weiss could feel a sting in the scar on her leg from where Adam stabbed her. "Everything?" Ruby nodded and rubbed her left arm. "I wake up right as he cuts through my arm every time." "Does Blake know?" Ruby nodded as she rested both hands on the table. "She's a light sleeper so whenever I jerk up awake she there to comfort me."

Weiss sighed in discomfort. "Anybody else?" The huntress shook her head. "No, I've been too busy to let anyone know, not even Yang." Ruby gripped the end of what remained of her left arm. "I don't understand why they keep coming up, I've moved past it." Weiss rubbed her chin in thought for a moment "maybe there's something in your subconscious that's keeping you from fully moving on, some kind of fear." Ruby sighed and looked down at her hands. Her former teammate reached over and placed her hands onto Ruby's own. "Well whatever the case, you'll have me, Yang, and Not to mention Blake to help you through it." Ruby smiled at the kindness of her friend and placed her hand on top of Weiss'. "Thank you for the help."
