Appetite and Nausea

"Crap, crap, crap! Weiss is totally gonna kill me!" Yang said to herself frantically as she tried to soothe her baby sister, whom was currently hunched over a toilet bowl throwing up.

This was a disaster.

All Yang wanted was to spend some quality time with her newly pregnant little sister. Blake was still out finishing up a solo mission and Weiss had meetings to attend to for the SDC, so it was the perfect time for the sisters to catch up with each other. They were only supposed to have a simple dinner together at her and Blake's place, catching up with stories and news about the younger sister's pregnancy. However, once Yang started cooking, Ruby all of a sudden bolted from the kitchen into the bathroom.

She knew her sister was about a few weeks along her pregnancy and would be more sensitive with her condition, but she didn't think that smelling food being cooked would make her throw up. Damn! She knew she should have listened more to Weiss when the girl was telling her all the things that was okay and not okay for Ruby. This is what she gets for thinking she would be able to take care of her sister better than the Ice Queen. She should give Weiss more credit.

"Rubes? Are you going to be okay? Do you need water—anything?" Yang tried to keep herself as calm as possible. She's seen her sister sick before, but not pregnant sick. She wasn't entirely sure of what to do with the situation besides making Ruby feel at ease somehow.

Ruby groaned in response and took a few deep breathes. "Ugh… sis, could you air out the smell and some water would be nice."

"Oh! R-right! Sorry about that!" Yang cursed at herself for not thinking about that sooner, her sister instincts just work faster than common sense sometimes.

The older sister opened the windows in the kitchen and even the sliding door that goes out to the yard to air out as much of the smell as possible. Then she grabbed a small towel and glass of water.

"Here Rubes, you can use this towel to wipe your mouth and here some water. I'm really sorry, I didn't know the smell would bother you, sis. Actually, I should have asked what you wanted to have for dinner before you got here."

Ruby smiled up to her sister with appreciation.

"It's okay, sis. You had no idea and I already feel better. Thanks for these. And honestly, my appetite changes every 30 minutes so, asking me would have been pointless." She giggled and quickly wiped her mouth and used the water to rinse the bitter aftertaste left behind from her puke.

Yang released a sigh. "Phew! That's a relief, sis. I was so worried I'd have to take you to the hospital, or worse! I'd have to call Weiss…" Yang shivered a bit at the thought of a very worried and angry Weiss. Sure, Yang has a ferocious temper and could fight three Ursa Majors blindfolded, but when white-haired CEO gets upset about Ruby (especially a pregnant Ruby), she could easily put Yang's anger to shame and freeze hell over a thousand times.

That made Ruby chuckle. "Aww c'mon, sis. You didn't know and I feel much better now, so Weiss won't be that upset with you. Besides, at least now I know that smelling raw meat being cooked makes me feel really nauseous… which is a bit weird since I haven't experienced morning sickness or fatigue. The only real symptom I have is that I'm always hungry for weird foods."

"Or… maybe we could just not tell Weiss this happened!" Yang suggested, hoping it would work.

Ruby immediately shook her head no. "Nope! No can-do, sis. Weiss needs to know that my smell is sensitive and that I can feel sick just by the smell of certain foods, not that I can even hide anything from her anyways."

The blonde huffed. "Oh, fine, but if your kid ends up having a dead auntie Yang, blame your little princess for that. So anyways, what do you feel like eating, since obviously what I was cooking is out of the question?"

"Hmm… oh! I'm really craving some veggie pizza!"

Yang nodded and thinking that wasn't such a strange request. "Okay, I could do that-"she was quickly cut off, not realizing her sister wasn't done.

"-with some strawberry ice cream and… um, oh! Pickles! You think you can do that sis?" Ruby's eyes seemed to sparkle and her mouth was nearly drooling.

"Uh… yeah! Of course, anything for you, sis!"

"Yay! You're the best sister ever!"

"First of all, I'm your only sister, and second, yeah I am pretty damn awesome!" Yang grinned while she went to work on the odd food her sister requested.

Ruby stood up and walked up beside her sister.

"Here, Yang let me help too."

"No, Rubes it's totally okay! I got this. Just sit down and relax."

"But Yaaang! I already do that enough at home, and I can't go out hunting without endangering my Little Rose. Besides, I'm pregnant, not bed-ridden or something." The brunette huffed in indignation, which made Yang chuckle internally because her little sister is acting just like Weiss. It was adorable. It made it her wonder if she picked up any mannerisms from Blake.

Yang simply ruffled Ruby's hair. "Alright, alright. I hear you, baby sis. You can help me if you want to, I just hope the food won't make you sick again."

"Nah! I'm sure pizza, ice cream and pickles won't make me sick. If I remember correctly from what the doctor and Weiss explained, it only happens with certain raw meats, something like that."

The older sister only nodded in response.

The two sisters quickly fell back into their old cooking habits when they still lived in Patch. Sure, their father would cook for them most of the time, but the girls also loved doing some activities in the culinary arts. Yang usually loves to fry, grill, or bake anything, while Ruby loves helping her sister by chopping up any vegetables or meat. Leave it to Yang to love anything that has to do with fire and to Ruby for using objects that would slice and chop.

Ruby broke the silence between them by asking her sister a question. "Sooo sis… have you and Blake thought about having kids yet? Weiss and I are really excited for ours and I'm sure my Little Rose would love to have a cousin to play with."

The older sister pondered to herself for a moment while spreading the pizza dough.

"I have been thinking about it, yes. But I haven't asked Blake on how she feels about the subject yet."

She sighed. "You know she had a rough childhood, Rubes. And I think because of that she might be afraid that if we have a kid, our future child might go through what she did because of the Faunus stuff. Plus, we've only been married for a little over a year, so she's probably not ready. I really want us to have a child, but I don't want to pressure her if she's not prepared to have one yet, you know?"

It was true, even before Ruby got pregnant, Yang had already been thinking about having kids with Blake. She wanted to give Blake the warm and loving family she'd been so deprived from most of her life. Her wife had been mostly by herself growing up, at least thankfully was surrounded by her former White Fang brethren, but she knew Blake rarely ever opened up herself to anyone because she didn't have any "real" family, or anyone she could truly trust really.

… but of course, she did put her trust in Adam.

Yang internally hissed, her artificial arm stinging a bit, just thinking about the bastard.

No, he's dead and gone, Yang. He can't do anything to you anymore. And you got Blake back, that's all that matters now.

Even if it did take them long arduous years to restore, they both healed their wounds from The Fall long ago and even worked together to take down Adam. Slowly, they got their love and trust for each other back, even getting married to prove how strong it became. Still though, Yang knew her wife was still having a hard time opening up completely with her since the incident with her arm. After giving it much thought, Yang came to the conclusion that maybe having a child could help Blake realize that it's okay to trust again, that it's okay to let someone get close to her, and that she won't hurt anyone. But Yang was also scared she might scare her wife away with the mere thought having a child even if she just wanted Blake to feel loved and protected as much as possible.

The taller woman's deep-thinking was interrupted once her sister spoke. "But Yang, you're her wife and if you want to have one, you should let her know. You won't pressure her, you're just letting her know your desires. And you never know, she might want it just as much as you do. Weiss has been wanting to start a family with me for a while, but she didn't tell me because she wasn't sure if I was ready. When she finally did, I agreed almost immediately. And now look at where we are: having a little family of our own and we couldn't be happier!"

Once Yang had placed the pizza in the oven, Ruby held her sister's hands in her own. She squeezed a bit tightly around her sister's prosthetic hand and rubbed it gently. "I want the both of you to feel this kind of happiness too, sis! You two deserve it. You've both have been through so much. And if you two aren't ready yet, then you can wait. And remember, sis you guys are married, you won't scare Blake away."

Yang squeezed her sister's hands back then smiled, feeling a small surge of hope with her sister's encouragement. "Okay, sis. I'll ask her once she comes home. And I really hope our Little Rose here…" She rubbed Ruby's belly. "…will have a cousin to play with!"

This made the younger sibling cheer. "Yay! Let me know how it goes, sis! Weiss and I will help you through the process if you choose the pregnancy option we did."

The blonde chuckled at her sister's excitement. "Slow down, Rubes. I haven't spoken to her yet. If she says yes, then we will come to you guys for help right away, I promise."

It was then the oven dinged, signifying that the pizza was done. Yang pulled it out and added some strawberries and whip cream with some pickles on top of half of the pizza. The two sisters then happily ate their lunch and chatted together about their lives.

~The next day at the Belladonna House~

Blake tiredly unlock the front door of her and Yang's home. She couldn't wait to relax in Yang's arms and finally start the new book series her wife had bought her. Once she opened the door, her wife had instantly greeted her with the traditional "Yang hug."

"Blake!" Yang scooped her wife up in her arms and embraced her, not caring if Blake hadn't showered or was dirty. "Welcome home! I missed you so much! How has the hunting trip with Sun and Velvet? Are you okay?"

Blake let out a small giggle and hugged Yang back with equal vigor. She nuzzled her face into Yang's wild hair.

"It feels so good to be home, Yang. I'm okay, don't worry and I missed you too." She smelled the all-too-familiar scent of Yang's shampoo, which made her sigh and purr in pure bliss. She will forever be grateful to have Yang as her wife and as well as her home.

"The hunt went well. Just few Deathstalkers and Beowolves bothering a small village. It just took a little longer to get done than expected. How was your lunch yesterday with Ruby?"

The slightly taller woman released Blake and kissed her on the lips tenderly. "That's great! I'm sure my wife kicked some serious ass, right?"

Blake simply rolled her eyes and nodded. "So, lunch with Ruby was…?" She asked as they finally entered their home making their way upstairs.

"Oh, right! Lunch with Ruby was awesome and her pregnancy is going… pretty smoothly..." Yang formed a sheepish grin. "I may have accidentally made her sick while I was cooking her food… and when Weiss called me this morning about what happened, let me tell you: it was definitely not the kind of wakeup call I like. She gave me a decent amount of scolding and made me promise to actually listen to her next time." She sighed rubbing her sore ear from the awful berating she endured. "Well, at least I know she'll always protect and love my baby sister."

"Hold on, how did you 'accidentally' make Ruby sick while you were cooking?" The raven-haired inquired while they walked into their bedroom. Blake started to put her hunting gear away and grabbed some clean clothing for a much-needed shower.

Yang watched her wife, admiring Blake's beauty even if she was a bit haggard-looking from her mission. "Well, I was just making her some salmon and mash potatoes with asparagus. At first, she said she was okay, but then the smell of the food started to make her sick. I guess our Little Rose decided that he or she doesn't like fish very much, I guess. No worries though, Ruby felt better after a while and I made her… uh, well a very interesting pizza instead."

Blake hummed in understanding, thinking that pizza was one of Ruby's odd cravings. "I see, well I'm glad you two had a great time and that Ruby's okay. I wouldn't be surprised if Weiss calls you the next time you two have your little sister gatherings. You know how much she worries, especially for Ruby."

"Yeah, yeah I know. But enough about them. You must be hungry from your trip so let me make you my special tuna sandwiches you love so much while you shower." Yang gave her wife a quick wink and peck on the cheek before making her way out of their room.

Blake sighed as she watched her wife leave and muttered, "And here I thought she'd join me in the shower… oh well, I am pretty hungry." She licked her lips from just thinking of Yang's special tuna sandwiches.

Sometime later, both girls were laying on their queen-sized bed completely at peace. Blake was fully showered and fed, now laying in Yang's arms reading her new book series. Yang was also reading her own book (a new hobby she'd picked up from her bibliophile wife) while using one of her hands to rub Blake's kitty ears gently.

After a while, Blake would hear Yang give some short sighs and her hand would stop rubbing her ears. Blake figured out long ago that this was one of the signs that the blonde had something on her mind, usually something important. With a sigh of her own, she sat up to scooch beside Yang, marked her book and placed it in on her lap.

"Alright, Yang. What's on your mind?"

Yang snapped out of her stupor realizing she wasn't even reading her book anymore and that Blake moved and asked her a question. "Oh…uhh. It's nothing really…" She trailed off nervously while playing with her hair.

Seeing this made Blake's ears drooped slightly. She knew that once Yang plays with her hair like that it means she was genuinely nervous, and Yang rarely ever gets nervous. She carefully took her wife's hands in her own and asked, "What's wrong, honey?"

"We-well, when Ruby came over yesterday… she started asking me some questions… about kids."

"What do you mean about kids? You mean her kid or…" and that's when it dawned on Blake on what was making her wife so nervous. "Oh… you mean about us having kids."

Yang gave out a nervous chuckle. "Y-yeah. I mean I know we haven't talked about it, but I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about it myself, and maybe… if you're ready for it, we could try having one or some of our own? What do you think, Blakey?"

The Faunus girl's ears twitched around nervously, deeply contemplating on what to say in response. "Yang… I love you, I really do." She squeezed her wife's hands a little tighter.

Almost immediately the other replied, "I love you too, Blake."

This caused Blake to smile. "I understand this is what you want, and believe me, I really want to have a family with you… but I don't think I'm ready yet." Her ears started to droop as she frowned. "I'm sorry, but could we wait on it. We've been married for just a little over a year and I want to focus on our happiness for now. I want to focus on you and love you as much as you deserve. Once I'm ready, I'll let you know right away, I promise. Just give me a little time."

Yang smiled and used her prosthetic hand to tilt Blake's head up to fully face her. She leaned in and gave her wife a chaste kiss on the lips. "No need to be sorry, Blakey. I understand, and I'll wait for you."

This made Blake tear up a bit and smile. She held her wife's artificial limb and kissed it. "Thank you so much, Yang."

Author's Note: This is the first time I've ever tried writing Bumbleby or Blake, so I hope I did okay! Please review and let me know your thoughts! See you in the next (also long) chapter!

Also, I didn't give Ruby morning sickness nor fatigue because not every pregnancy is the same. I wanted to avoid clichés and also emphasize that Ruby is not as sensitive as most woman because she's a very healthy, generally happy, and professionally trained huntress.
