Salutations!
So, here's another chapter of this new story of mine. Before we begin, I just want to say thank you so much to all of you for supporting me and reading what I write. It really means a lot to me!
And I'm on vacation until Sunday so I won't be writing as much as what I normally do. I will update as much as possible though.
Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 3: The Best Gift Ever
Ruby and Jaune had been married for two months now, and Christmas was approaching fast. They were extremely excited for their first Christmas together.
They were planning on inviting their respective teams from Beacon Academy and their families over to visit and have a feast together, before giving, receiving and opening gifts.
"So, Jaune," Ruby asked. "You got any ideas on what food to prepare for the feast?" the huntress questioned the huntsman, who was sitting on the couch next to her. "Hmmm," Jaune hummed, thinking of anything. "Well, maybe some duck or turkey, along with some baked potatoes and maybe a few fruits and vegetables. What do you think?" he replied. "Well, that's actually perfect. And, just for the sake of Blake, throw in some tuna," Ruby added.
The two went shopping for some Christmas supplies to decorate their new house with. They had recently purchased a beautiful home in Vale, with a dusty brown roof, orange walls, and spruce wood frames around the doors and windows. It was a three bedroom house, with a large bathroom, a beautiful kitchen with plenty of room, a large living room, and a large garage capable of fitting two cars in.
The floors were made of oak wood, al except for the bathroom and kitchen, the bathroom having a pale blue tiled floor, and the kitchen a yellow tiled floor. The living room floor was covered with a red carpet.
"These are amazing!" Ruby exclaimed, pointing at lights that formed the shape of a reindeer. "Wow, and its only 150 Lien," Jaune replied. "I'll get it for you," the blond knight said with a tender smile. "Really?! Thank you so much!" Ruby exclaimed, hugging her husband tightly, almost suffocating him. "And let's see. This is amazing!" he exclaimed, pointing at a wreath with Vale's emblem in silver in the middle of it, with 'Merry Christmas' written in gold around it.
After an hour of shopping, the pair left the shop, before running into Yang, with Tai just behind her. "Hey dad!" Ruby shouted, running up to the tall, blonde man and giving him a bear hug, slightly knocking him off balance. "Hey Ruby! How's it going?" he asked, before releasing his youngest daughter from the grip of his hug.
"Hey little sister!" Yang said excitedly, jumping in front of Ruby, giving the rest of the group frights. "Yang!" Ruby shouted.
"Oh, and things are going amazing! Jaune and I managed to find an amazing house to settle in, and we're doing great in it. We're just shopping for some stuff for Christmas. We are also planning on having a nice dinner on Christmas and then exchanging gifts. And we want to invite our teams and families to it. So, what do you guys say?" Ruby asked, smiling. "Will you guys be able to come?" Yang smiled widely. "Yeah! an-" "Please don't start a food war," Jaune interrupted, scratching the back of his neck.
"I really don't feel like getting thrown against another window," he said. Yang just gave him dirty, disappointed looks. "Sure, Vomit Boy," she grinned, before looking back at her dad. "I thought that everybody got over calling me that already!" Jaune yelled.
"So, dad," Ruby said, waving at Taiyang. "Are you gonna be at the dinner?" she asked. Tai looked at his daughter. "Of course, sweetie," he said, smiling. "Yay!" Ruby shouted, hugging her father tightly. "See you guys there!" she said, before walking away. "Love you!"
"We love you too!" Yang and her father yelled at the same time, Yang waving her yellow robot arm wildly at her half-sister.
On Christmas Day...
"Well," Jaune said, dusting his hands off. "The decorations are up, the table is set and the gifts are wrapped, now we just have to wait for everybody to come!" Ruby smiled widely.
"I can't believe its Christmas already!" she shouted, her arms in the air. "And I can't believe that I finally get to spend it with the love of my life," Jaune said, wrapping his right arm around Ruby, looking at her. She was blushing, smiling, and laughing awkwardly. "Aw stop it," she said teasingly, before standing on her toes and giving Jaune a quick kiss on the cheek.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ruby and Jaune walked up to the door and opened it. Somehow everybody ahd managed to show up at the same time: Ruby's teammates, Jaune's teammates, Taiyang, Qrow, Sun, and Jaune's family.
"You all came!" Ruby yelled excitedly. "Come on in!" she said. Yang looked around, smiling. "This place is nice," she said, poking a little Rudolph reindeer plushie holding a sign saying 'Welcome! Have a very merry Christmas!'
"Alright, everybody take your seats," Jaune announced. Everybody went to their seats. Him and Ruby sat next to each other at one end of the table. "Before we eat, I want to make a toast. Here is a toast to spending time with family and friends, and making memories. This is a toast to being with awesome people, and most of all, the girl of my dreams, Ruby," he said. All seven of Jaune's sisters blushed and cooed upon hearing the last few words of the sentence.
"They're so cute together!" Jaune's youngest sister said. "I know right!" an older one replied. Ruby and Jaune heard this and blushed, before eating their food.
After dinner, everybody started exchanging gifts. Yang gave Ruby a weapon modification, giving her a thermal hybrid scope for the Crescent Rose. "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!" Ruby screeched, hugging her sister tightly and smiling widely. "I've always wanted one of these!"
Jaune gave Ruby a dog tag with a ruby in it, and 'Ruby, the best person in Remnant' engraved underneath it, followed by her emblem. "I love this! Thank you so much Jaune," Ruby blushed.
After everybody else exchanged their gifts, Ruby finally gave Jaune his gift. It was a thin, long box with yellow wrapping around it. Inside was a piece of paper. He lifted it up and found something underneath it. Then, he read the piece of paper. His heart skipped a beat upon reading it.
"Well, what does the note say?" Taiyang asked. Jaune read it again, this time out loud. "Guess who's gonna be a dad?"
Everybody gasped, before huge smiles lit up their faces. "Ruby?" Jaune looked at his wife, his eyes slowly filling up with tears. "This... I don't even know what to say..." he trailed off. Ruby just smiled awkwardly and laughed softly. Jaune hugged her tightly.
Everybody started applauding, and Yang, Qrow and Tai joined in on the hug. "I'm gonna be an aunt!" Yang cried. "I'm so proud of my baby sister!"
"Ruby, this...this is the best Christmas present ever," Jaune said, crying tears of joy, making everybody smile and coo 'aww,' particularly Nora and Jaune's sisters.
"I love you so much, Ruby," Jaune cried. "I love you too," she replied.
