Vacation Time Part One: Arrival

Ruby was happy. Oh Dust, was she happy. Finally, after what felt like forever, all the members of Team RWBY were back together again and were ready to kick back and relax. They were all currently boarding an airship and approaching the resort islands near Patch quickly. Each respective couple faced the other with moderately sized window on one side and center table in the middle for food placement or working on laptops on the private Schnee Airship. The white, black, and yellow themed members were all perfectly comfortable and calm seating in their corresponding seats, Ruby, however, was more like a child about to journey to a new theme park.

The moment they reunited on the airship, the young leader immediately whooped, "Alright! Team RWBY is back together!" and has yet to cease her growing excitement for the trip, even till now since she was almost bouncing in her seat from her overwhelming joy and continued to rambling about their destination.

"Oh! This is going to be so much fun, guys! I can't wait for us to go the fairs, and the beach, and oh! There's this really beautiful waterfall Yang and I found when we were younger! Oh! I hope it's still there. You guys will love it! Gosh! This is going to be the best trip ever!" Ruby practically rapid-fired out of her and mouth and still continued with her excited rambling.

All the other team members grinned at their leader's easily contagious zeal. Of course, everyone was enthusiastic about their blissful excursion too, they hadn't had one in over a year now due to their individual busy lives; so it felt nice for all of them to gather as a team again and remind them of their good old days back in Beacon.

Weiss, in particular, was just as happy as her ever exuberant wife and very relieved she could finally get some much-needed rest, but of course she always worried first before she had any fun. "Okay Ruby, I know you're excited, but please don't bounce around so much. And try to calm down bit, you know you can't be out of breath. You might hurt yourself or Little Rose." She lightly chided and gently held her wife's left hand, her effort for some miracle to calm Ruby down.

"Oh! Yeah… sorry about that Little Rose! I hope I didn't rattle you too much in there." Ruby cooed at her own pregnant belly. She smiled and giggled once she felt a flutter, it was as if her child was communicating back. "Aww~! I knew you wouldn't be mad." She took Weiss's hand that was holding her own and put it against her belly. "Feel that honey? Little Rose is fluttering again~!" She grinned.

No matter how many times Weiss felt the familiar movement of her child it's never ceased to amaze her. She immediately started rubbing and cooing at Ruby's swollen abdomen affectionately. "Mommy's so proud of you, my little one~! You and Ruby are doing so well. I can't wait to meet you~!" She gushed gleefully.

Blake gave the two expecting mothers a proud smile. Soon… Yang and I will be like that. We'll have that happiness. She turned to her wife, expecting to see the same smile she was giving the two and yet that wasn't what she saw on the blonde's face.

Yang viewed the two mothers-to-be with an almost yearning look. "Must be really nice, sis being pregnant and all..." She spoke the words absentmindedly then once she realized what she said, she immediately looked at her wife then turned back to Ruby. "I mean uh, I'm sure it's an awesome experience, but it's something Blakey and I are taking things slow with. No rush at all." She formed a tight smile and ran a hand through her hair nervously.

Blake frowned at that, but patted her wife's forearm, wordlessly telling her it was okay, she understood.

Still, Blake had had an inkling that even though her wife insisted she'd wait, recently she's been becoming more and more eager to start a family. And Yang's reaction just now confirmed just Blake's suspicions too. Well, not like it was really unexpected, the both of them frequently visited Faunus foster homes and family shelters, so they were exposed to multiple children and growing families almost each day. Plus, Ruby was pregnant, whom along with Weiss, of course would tell the two of them about their wonderful experience often as well.

It was almost as if reality itself was telling them to start a family. Realizing it now made Blake feel horrible. What hurt her the most was that she finally made the decision she was ready for this just recently, however, she still has yet told Yang.

Blake wanted to tell her in meaningful way, not after a hunt (or during), not after a long day of working in the Faunus foundations, or even simply over dinner. No, her wife was Yang (former) Xiao Long, and Yang loves surprises, the unexpected, the pure excitement, the thrill, and most of all, the unforgettable; so that's exactly what Blake was going to give her in this trip with the news.

They won't have work or house chores to do to distract them, and she'd already done her research on how to surprise spouses with this kind of news, so she was ready and she could do this. She could totally do this. Surprising Yang was her basic master skill after all these years of knowing her after all; who else could ever render the great Yang speechless or a sputtering mess besides Blake anyways? No one and she prided herself about that. Besides, her wife had waited long enough, and her wait would be rewarded, Blake will make absolute sure of that. You don't have to wait much longer, Yang. I promise, right after this trip we'll be starting a family of our own.

"Aww that's okay, sis. I'm sure you two will start a family before you know it!" Ruby chirped breaking Blake's train of thought.

Weiss nodded in agreement then put in her two-cents. "That's right, but it is a big decision after all, so it's good that you two are waiting till you're both ready. And once you are fully-prepared, don't pile too much on yourselves, I learned that lesson the hard way with all this." She sighed to herself while Ruby patted her back.

Blake took Yang's flesh hand in her own and squeezed it, her wife squeezed back and rubbed her thumb against the side of Blake's hand. "Don't worry, Weiss. We'll make sure that we'll both be fine and fully-prepared once we start a family of our own." Yang nodded in agreement and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes like it usually did.

To clear her wife out of her fog, Blake gave Yang a small grin that lit up her amber eyes (this caused the blonde's heart to flutter). "And just like what Ruby said, we might start a family sooner than you think." She kissed the hand she held, her usual secret way of telling Yang she would be true to her word and she wasn't messing around.

And Yang knew, she understood Blake's message. Her wife was telling her that her wait would end soon, that she would finally be ready soon. Sure, Blake wasn't telling her when exactly, but she was telling her enough that it won't be for much longer. The blonde formed a blinding smile at that, a true smile. "I look forward to that day then, honey."

"So are we!" Ruby cheered. "Once you two have kids then we'll be an even bigger family. It'll be awesome! Right, Weiss?"

"More or less, I suppose. It just means I have to look after more of you dolts." She teased.

"Ouch! No need to be so cold, Ice Queen." Yang grinned as everyone groaned (well, Blake sighed being so used to it).

Weiss gave her a scowl. "Ugh! There's something I definitely did not miss being around you, Yang."

The blonde feigned a pouty/crying face. "You know you love my puns, Weiss! Admit it."

"I'll only admit that once you stop calling me by that infernal moniker." Weiss retorted with a flat expression showing no sympathy for Yang's pout.

"Ha! No way! Just you watch, I'll even have your kid saying it in the future~." She teased.

Weiss's jaw slacked and gaped at her. "You wouldn't dare!"

The blonde smirked and wagged her eyebrows. "Oh, I would, Ice Queen. I would."

As the two continued to their usual bickering, Blake and Ruby just sighed, but smiled. Just like the good old days. They both thought in endearment.

~At the Resort Islands: Main Island~

"We're here! Wow, Yang look! They have even more stores and restaurants now! And oh! There's the beach! Weiss, can we go? Please?" Ruby said while she zipped around them pointing to different "cool and awesome" things.

Currently, they were all walking towards their hotel, which was by the beach of the main island. Weiss and Ruby's bodyguards carried all their belongings and already made it up to their hotel room.

Weiss sighed and fought back the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose. They literally just landed five minutes ago and her wife was already running amuck. Maybe letting her drink three mugs of hot cocoa and eating two stacks of strawberry pancakes with… mustard, ketchup, and chocolate syrup plus the limitless cookies on the flight wasn't the best idea before coming here… "Okay, Ruby we'll go there, but let's check-in our hotel suite first then we can go around and enjoy ourselves."

"Okay! Yang, I'll race you to the hotel! I won't even use my aura since I can't anyways. So no cheating!"

The older sister grinned wickedly. "Ha! Today is the day you lose to me on a race, Rubes!"

Then two sisters started running.

Blake face-palmed.

And Weiss gaped at their retreating figures. "What are you two? Five?! And Ruby, you dolt! Don't run, you might trip!"

"Oh, c'mon princess! I'll be just fi-ahh!" And just like she said, Ruby did indeed trip, having snagged the end of her foot on rock.

Everyone's heart stopped as they watched their beloved pregnant leader falling to the ground face-first, but luckily she was caught by one of Weiss's white Beowolf summons in the last second, gently bringing her back to her feet then disappearing in an icy mist. Whoa! Weiss sure was quick with that summon. Ruby thought then realized how much trouble she's in. Oh no.

Fuming, the CEO stomped her way up to now fidgeting wife. Once she made it right in front of the reckless brunette, she tapped her foot at her and crossed her arms, her way of saying that her wife was in big trouble. "Ruby." She said sternly, leaving no room for arguments. "We are going to the suite calming and we will not go out until you are completely composed, do I make myself clear?"

"We-Weiss, I- I'm so sorry… and yes. Crystal clear. I won't be careless anymore and I'll be calm." She slowly approached her wife and caressed one of Weiss's hands with her thumb while she bowed her head in shame.

Weiss sighed for the umpteenth time that day. She held Ruby's chin and made her look up then cupped her cheeks. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt at all? How's our child?" She asked softly and examined her wife's form.

"No, I'm fine and Little Rose is okay too. You caught me just in time. Hehehe…Thanks honey." Ruby looked nervously at her wife.

"Good. That's good." The older woman with a relieved expression said then glared again and flicked Ruby's forehead. "Dolt." she muttered before taking Ruby's hand in a vice grip insuring she won't be running off any time soon.

Ruby pouted and rubbed her sore forehead, but mumbled soft apologies her wife's way, which managed to coax a gentle squeeze of the hand by Weiss, her little message saying she wasn't angry.

Meanwhile, Blake marched up to her own wife and swatted her arm and gave her the infamous "Blakey Death Glare" as the blonde so eloquently called it. "You really shouldn't have encouraged her on that." She admonished.

Yang rubbed her head and sheepishly smiled at her wife. "I know… I just thought I could actually beat her in a race for once." She got swatted again. "Alright! It was a really bad idea, I'm sorry." She knew her wife hated it whenever she was being careless of other's safety of regard, so she went to smooch the Faunus between her cat ears and asked for forgiveness. "Forgive me?" Blake didn't give any response, but kept the scowl on her face and her ears droopy even though her face was slightly flushed.

Oh, Yang loved this little game between them: Blake would play hard to get or actually be upset, while Yang would lavish her with affection till she gave in. So the blonde kissed her again, but on her cheek this time. "Forgive me?" She grinned when she the bookworm's lips lift ever so slightly and her kitty ears twitched. Time to take out the big guns. She gave Blake a sweet chaste kiss on the lips, leaving the Faunus breathless then she stared deeply into those golden pools. "Forgive me?" She asked as softly as she could. She had to hold back a grin once she saw Blake's pupils dilate, her face flush, and sweet smile form on her beautiful lips. Gotcha.

But then Blake rolled her eyes playfully pushed her wife away. "Yes, but that was a still a bad idea. I'm just glad she's okay." Then the two began walking towards their suite. Yang walked merrily beside her. "…I swear, Yang better not be that reckless if she's the one pregnant…" She muttered under her breath inattentively.

"You say something, hon?"

"Yes, I said you need to take better care of you sister." The Faunus said without missing a beat.

"Right…" The blonde was skeptical about if her wife telling the truth or not, but let it go and just happily walked towards their new home for the next two weeks during their vacation.

The hotel suite they got (courtesy of Weiss, whom insisted paying for their stay) was really more like a fancy beach house placed at the top of their hotel. It had two large bed rooms (both having king-sized beds and beautiful views of the beach) with its own bathroom (that also has a full bath and shower) and walk-in closets. There was also a fully-set kitchen with a stove, sink, dishwasher, and a bar area on the side. The living room was nice and spacious with a center table and two white pristine couches on each side of it. The room in general had tropical-like decorations like pictures/paintings of the ocean were hung up on the walls, seashells were placed on side tables next to the lamps, etc.

The coolest part was definitely their balcony, which had a long pool and was boarded by glass walls (to be able to see the ocean and sunset even when in the pool). The balcony even had its own towel closet, long chairs, and best of all, a hot tub.

Yang whistled out looking at the extravagant hotel room they got. "Nice catch with this suite, Weiss. This place is great!"

Blake nodded in agreement. "Yeah, this is wonderful, Weiss. Thank you."

Ruby was just awestruck with it all, especially the view. "This is so awesome…whoa."

Weiss proudly puffed out her chest and crossed her arms. "Of course! I only provide the very best for our Team—our family, after all." She was suddenly engulfed in her wife's arms.

"You're the best, Weiss! Thank you so much for this!" The ever joyful leader cheered then smooched her wife's cheek. "Seriously the best wife ever~." She giggled when Weiss embraced her back and buried her flushed face into the crook of her neck and mumbled a muffled, "It was nothing."

"Aww, Weiss~! No need to be embarrassed. Let's unpack our things and explore the island a bit as team, how does that sound to you guys?" Yang asked.

The CEO coughed and finally composed herself. "That sounds nice. I don't mind just having a walk then find a place to have dinner."

Blake nodded. "Sounds good to me."

Ruby grinned at everyone. "Yeah! Let's do it!"

Each couple went to their respective rooms to start unpacking their things for the next two weeks.

"Excuse me, Miss Ruby and Miss Weiss." A voice came from the door to the Rose's temporary room.

Ruby turned to see a young man dressed in a black suite with bright golden eyes and deep red hair. Next to him was a young lady with identical feature but with a rounder face and much longer hair, and she was also wearing a black suite. "Hey, Roy and Reira! So how's our security here?" She asked her young bodyguards, Roy and Reira Crimson, whom were both twenty years old now.

She and Weiss had saved them along with their younger brother five years ago from one of the villages of Mistral that secretly had slavery. They barely managed to save all three of the siblings from the cruel society, with the twin's youngest brother being trapped and kept hostage to force his sibling to do more work. Regardless, Ruby went to save the young one, which resulted her getting a few scars (nothing fatal to Weiss's relief). It was worth it though since she got to reunite the siblings and save most of the slaves in the end. From that day forward the twins swore loyalty to her and Weiss, promising to protect their lives till the end of days.

Although, she and Weiss refused at first wanting to give the kids their freedom, the twins refused and adamantly stayed with their resolve with protecting them. So eventually the Rose couple agreed and had them professional trained, while the younger brother was given an education and grew up with a less violent lifestyle. The pair were exceptional fighters and were quite adept in combat, so they become very capable bodyguards in just three years and Ruby was very proud of them. And if she was honest with herself, they were very helpful; they two had already saved the married couple from a multitude of assassinations and attempted kidnapping the past few years.

Roy smiled slightly at his master. "Reira and I have secured this room, as well as the perimeter around the hotel. You and your team should be able to relax fully without worrying about any assassination attempts." Reira nodded in agreement next to him.

Ruby grinned at the pair. "That's great! Good work you two. Now I know you guys are stubborn about always protecting us and keeping watch, but remember: this is a vacation! So have a little fun, okay? I want you both to enjoy yourselves."

Both of the twin's faces looked uncertain since both of them are so strict with their work. Still, Reira smiled and said, "We'll try to… have some fun, Miss Ruby." Roy hesitantly nodded beside her.

Good. Ruby thought. If Reira said they would try, they would. No questions asked. "Great! Now go ahead and set your room up next door and start your 'some' fun as soon as possible, okay?"

"Yes, Miss Ruby!" Both chorused then bowed and left Team RWBY briefly.

Weiss came up beside her and asked, "So we're safe?" Even though she heard the conversation, she still wanted confirmation from her wife. Ruby responded with a nod and a relieved smile.

Weiss released a relaxed sigh. "Oh, thank Dust. Now, I can truly enjoy this vacation." She knelt down in front of Ruby and firmly kissed her swollen tummy. "I'm so glad our family will be okay." She spoke softly and placed her forehead on Ruby's belly and slightly hugged her midsection.

The expectant mother lovingly ran her fingers through Weiss's hair and smiled down at her. "Me too, princess." They both smiled even bigger when Little Rose made a flutter.

"Aww, c'mon you two! Don't forget we're here as a team! Blakey and I won't let anyone harm any of you either. They'd have to die trying!" Yang exclaimed walking into their room and pumped her metal fist.

Blake nodded in agreement beside her wife. "That's right. And we're not just a team, we're family. So we'll watch each other's backs no matter what." She remembered Ruby's words, and she believed in them wholeheartedly. This team was her family and she wouldn't let any harm come to it.

Yang grinned at her wife and kissed her temple. She turned towards the other two. "C'mon guys! Let's have a group hug, we haven't had one in ages!"

"Be gentle!" Weiss warned as she hesitantly placed Ruby in her sister's embrace.

"Aye-aye, Weiss. I won't crush my baby sis or my baby niece or nephew." The blonde chuckled and gentle brought everyone in a group hug, which surprised them all because they've never experienced a "gentle" Yang group hug before. It was nice to say the least.

"Alright! Now who's ready to officially start this vacation? The day is still young." Ruby asked looking gleefully at the other three once they all pulled away from the embrace. The Belladonna couple nodded, so she looked at her wife expectantly.

"Are you sure you're calm enough, Ruby?" Came Weiss's stern response, clearly not forgetting Ruby's mishap earlier.

The leader's enthusiasm deflated a bit. "I am, I promise." She said as serious as she could.

"Okay, good! Then I'm ready as well."

"Alright! Let the super awesome and totally relaxing Team RWBY vacation officially begin!"

Author's Note: Okay… So this chapter was actually supposed to be a lot longer than this, and I mean probably three times longer since it was supposed to include Blake's news to Yang and the team bonding. But by the time I got to end of this chapter, it was already fourteen pages long because of all the somewhat necessary stuff I wanted to put in! So I ended up leaving it here and hopefully get the next chapter out sooner. You guys will see Yang's reaction and as well as the team's actual bonding stuff next time, so stay tuned~!

Also, I wonder what you all think of my little OC twins I made up as their bodyguards. They are essential for their safety even if the pair is with their team. White Rose also has more bodyguards, of course, but they're hidden around while the twins actually stay by them.

So like always, please leave a review or criticism or anything and just tell me your thoughts, I really appreciate them since they help me a lot! Thank you!

Till next time~!
