Chapter 7

All Good Things...

Saturday

"Do you think they've been abducted?"

"I highly doubt it Nora."

"You always say that Ren. Pyrrha try knocking on the door again."

Yang perceived the voices before she heard a gentle tapping on Team RWBY's door with the polite tone of Pyrrha Nikos joining soon after it.

"Are you girls alright in there? It's JNPR, we we're wondering if you wanted to go get some food."

In her semiconscious state, torn between going back to rest her eyes and dream or to bring herself to wake up and face the day, Yang groaned as she curled up further against Blake. After their lack of sleep during the night it was way too early to even think about getting breakfast even though Yang felt her stomach grumble in protest. Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains filling the room with a meadow wheat colour along with its pleasant warmth.

"Out of the way Pyrrha I'm bringing out Magnhild," Nora announced, behind the door.

Yang's eyes snapped wide open. Tigger's crib was in direct line of the door if Nora decided to bring her weapon out.

"I'm up!" She exclaimed, loud enough for Team JNPR to hear and so that her teammates stirred in their own deep slumbers.

"Finally!" Nora sighed, exasperated. "We've been out here for twenty minutes trying to get all you lazybones up! Ren thought you had been captured by aliens!"

Yang smiled lazily as she heard Ren sigh while she untangled herself from Blake and the quilt. She stood up and stretched, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, then relaxed her muscles and headed over to the door. She quickly peeked into Tigger's crib and saw him continuing to sleep with his tiny hands opening and closing as he dreamt. Trudging across the room Yang reached the door, unlocked it and opened it wide to see Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Lie Ren fully dressed and appeared to be waiting for their friends.

"You're not even dressed yet! Aww come on. It's buy one get one free at Cherry On Top Ice Cream Parlour. All the ice cream will be gone," Jaune complained.

"Relax vomit boy, we've got all day to go get icy treats," said Yang, blinking blearily.

"Yang, it's already half eleven," Pyrrha pointed out. Yang's eyebrows rose and she looked behind her at the bedside table where the alarm clock sat. Its bright red numbers flashed 11:24am.

"Bloody hell! Alright, umm, give us till half twelve and we can all get some lunch in town," promised Yang.

"There better be some good flavours left," Nora warned.

Yang rolled her eyes. "If there isn't then all ice creams will be on me, don't worry."

"You mean on Weiss?"

"What did you think I meant?" Yang scoffed, before bidding them goodbye and shutting the door with a click behind her.

Weiss threw a hissy fit upon being told the time after being woken up, she immediately rushed into the bathroom to run a shower complaining that they had 'wasted half the day.' Ruby took it much better and continued to relax in her makeshift hammock, making it sway slightly, with one hand propping up her head as she ate a cookie with the other while Aggie rested on her stomach. Blake made herself a cup of tea and sat on the edge of the bed taking tentative sips as Yang got Tigger's milk ready.

In the end it took the four girls plus Tigger fifty minutes to get ready. The five of them, Tigger being carried by Blake in carrier harnessed to her body, met up with Team JNPR outside Beacon and the group strolled leisurely down the path that led to the town of Vale. The sun shined above them in the cloudless sky providing them with a comfortable heat that wasn't too unbearable. If people were curious or confused as to why a group of eight training hunters and huntresses entered into town with a baby and three sacks of flour they didn't enquire about it.

"This is such a great day!" Ruby cheered. "A super lie-in and ice cream for breakfast!"

"That's if I let you have ice cream," Weiss muttered, making sure Ruby caught her sly grin to show she wasn't being serious.

"Why does Ruby need ice cream when she's already got 'Weiss cream'."

Yang relished in the groans she got from everyone for that pun then burst out into laughter which made Tigger squeal.

"Well at least someone finds you funny," Blake mentioned, smirking. Yang comically glared at her and leaned across to press a kiss against Tigger's temple amongst his soft black hair.

"He," said Yang, standing back up straight, "knows what good humour is."

"Is that what you keep telling yourself Yang?" Nora asked, skipping ahead to hold open the door to the ice cream shop. The group of teenagers let out their chuckles and giggles as they entered the store. There were plenty of customers inside already so they waited by the windows away from the counter where the ice cream was served and looked at the posters on the wall that displayed the flavours they sold.

Weiss walked over to one of the stand up freezers and got herself out a pot of frozen blueberry yoghurt.

"Yes! They have my favourite."

She dropped her hand to her side that carried the pot but failed to notice the young boy behind her holding his freshly scooped ice cream sitting in its cone. Her hand connected with the kids icy treat and ended up smacking it to the ground. Yang, Jaune, Ruby and Nora who witnessed this struggled to stifle their sniggers. Weiss whirled around on the spot and saw the boy's eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"Oh I'm sorry! Everything's fine, please don't cry, I'll give you money-,"

Immediately the boy's face brightened up and he held out his hand with a massive grin on his face.

Weiss scowled. "-money to buy another ice cream with."

Leading the now pouting child over to the counter she let him get what he wanted and paid for it along with her own pot of frozen yoghurt. Before she could put away her purse however Ruby, Blake, Yang, and Team JNPR rushed up beside her and placed their own orders. Weiss rolled her eyes and handed over the correct amount of lien earning her plenty of thanks, a couple of hugs and a massive kiss on the cheek from Ruby which caused them to tinge pink.

They strolled through the streets enjoying their ice creams while window shopping which was peaceful until Nora let out a shriek that made them all jump out their skins.

"Nora, what is it?" Pyrrha cried out, as Jaune stared mournfully at the left over strawberry ice cream he had dropped on the pavement.

"Mother & Baby Care has a sale on!"

Ren wriggled his little finger out of his ear in an attempt to stop the ringing. "That's great Nora but what does it have to do with us?"

Nora gestured to Tigger who was drooling on Blake's top. "Because of twinkle toes over there. All he wears are those plain white one pieces. Let's get him some proper clothes! Godmother Nora demands it! Onward march!"

With not much choice other than to follow the marching Valkyrie storming ahead towards the shop the group of friends quickly picked up their pace to catch up. The department store was filled with people taking advantage of the bargains. Like packs of beowolves families moved around the aisles while occasionally wayward children sped past chasing each other or to the object that had caught their attention.

While godmother Nora had good intentions prior to entering the building they quickly disappeared when noticing the rows of giant teddy bears. Ren chased after her with Pancake in his arms leaving the rest of them to hear a crash and a pile of stuffed toys flying up in the air.

"Not again, come on Pyrrha, we better go help." Jaune announced, grabbing the tall Amazon's girl hand, while in the other she held Arkos, and running off with her in the direction of the commotion.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang quickly shuffled off in the opposite direction pretending not to know the other four people they had walked in with. They ambled around rather aimlessly without a real agenda of being there until they found themselves in the clothes section.

"Look at the tiny shoes!" Ruby squealed, zipping over to the shelves lined with them.

"Oh Blake look! An Achieve Men top!" Yang exclaimed, rushing over to it with Blake following behind shortly.

Weiss rolled her eyes and approached a table with neatly folded tops piled on it and shifted through them. On one light and dark blue stripy top was a cartoon tiger's face which smiled and Weiss couldn't help think it was perfect for Tigger. Draping it over her arm she quickly located where the trousers were and picked out a pair that went with the top.

"What have you got there Weiss?" Blake asked, curiously, as the heiress came walking up to her.

"A suitable attire for him of course. Nora was right, all he does wear are those onesie's from the hospital so it's only suitable that we get him a nice outfit to wear." Weiss explained.

Yang smiled and gently nudged Tigger to get his attention. "Did you hear that little man? Aunty Weiss is buying you some clothes."

Tigger smiled and then stuck out his tongue before resting his head on Blake as his pudgy hands gripped her top. Blake struggled to control her faunus ears from wriggling with delight at how adorable the sight was. They made their way to the checkout counters and lined up in the queue noticing that team JNPR were being led out by the store security.

As they waited in line Yang's scroll started to ring out. There was too much noise going on inside the store for her to listen so she quickly rushed outside where it was quieter and answered the call.

"Hello?" She asked, not having seen the caller identity.

"Hello? Is that Yang? It's Dr Crawford here, how're you?"

The instant Yang heard his voice her stomach plummeted and her heart froze as a sense of dread overpowered her bringing grey clouds into her clear sunny sky.

She blinked and shook her head, trying to shake off the growing anxiety enveloping her body. After taking a calming breath she answered.

"Yes it's me. It's nice to hear from you doctor. I'm doing great thanks, what about you?" Yang asked, trying to keep her voice steady. She could feel the back of her eyes stinging already and she refused to cry. Yang knew this day was coming but why did it have to arrive here so soon? Team JNPR after realising she was outside seemed to sense something was off and walked over to her as James Crawford carried on talking.

"Wonderful and I'm not so bad myself thank you for asking. How is Tigger doing? You haven't rang me up during the week so I assume you've been just fine with him. I knew you would be."

"Yeah he's been amazing and he's definitely put on some weight since you last saw him which is good because he was under when you weighed him at the hospital. Everyone adores him and he's been on his best behaviour except for keeping us up last night."

Dr Crawford chuckled. "Yeah babies tend to do that at times but it's good to know he's been doing well. I have some news-"

'Here it comes,' thought Yang, her stomach clenching uncomfortably.

"-my sister Kelly and her husband Roux are back from their holiday and they're so excited to adopt Tigger. I heard from Detective Greenaway yesterday too and they managed to track down the parents. Apparently they weren't ready to be a mother and father, they lasted a month before abandoning Tigger under the bridge, and have been charged. They burned up Tigger's records but the mother did let us know his date of birth so Kelly and Roux will go to the town hall tomorrow to get a new birth certificate for Tigger. So the three of us will be round to pick up Tigger at half eleven tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

Team JNPR could hear what had been said and each of them had a crestfallen look to their features but they didn't come close the heartbreaking look on Yang's. Pyrrha reached a hand across and placed it gently on Yang's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze, to pass on the encouragement and support she needed to say the next set of words because she had to - she couldn't keep Tigger.

Yang's voice came out wavered. "Yeah...that's fine."

"Perfect! I'll give your Headmaster a call and ask him for the all clear. I'll see you tomorrow Yang, bye."

"Bye," Yang uttered, disconnecting the call.

Stillness hung in the air around the five of them each one unsure what to say as people passed by them and carried on with their business without taking any notice of their dejection. Yang's hands balled into fists and she stared down at the ground willing herself not to cry but her body started to shake slightly. With her hand still on Yang's shoulders Pyrrha could feel the shivers that shook through the girl's body.

Pyrrha started to speak up. "Yang it's -,"

"Hey guys! Come on and let's head back to Beacon and get Tigger down for his nap."

Ruby bounded towards them swinging the shopping bag in circles on her finger as Blake and Weiss walked behind her carrying Tigger and Aggie. Noticing their friends standing in a disheartened silence with Pyrrha comforting Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Ruby's smiles faltered.

"What's going on?" Blake asked, coming up to Yang and taking her hand, uncurling the balled up fist to entwine their fingers together. With Blake at her side Yang shook herself out of her stupor and glanced up at her girlfriend. Her lilac eyes shimmering.

"Dr Crawford rang and he, his sister, and her husband are coming to pick up Tigger tomorrow."

Blake gasped, faintly whispering. "No."

I do wonder what the whole story was of Kara knocking the ice cream out the child's hand. :D

So bit of a cliffhanger with this chapter. I wonder what the girls will do? Yang especially.
