Adam and Eve part 11
Time wore on, slowly Vale was cleansed of Grimm and the repairs speed along especially when one huntress in particular showed up, that being one Glenda Goodwitch, she stuck close to her old students and Oscar. She was guarded especially when she saw Adam for the first time however Qrow explained things to her, her reaction was very similar to Winter's but with Oscar and therefore Ozpin's agreeance to Adam paying off his dues without jail time she relaxed. Yang chose to ignore Adam's existence he was far happier with this than being screamed at and punched, however Weiss and Ruby along with Jaune, Nora and Ren were far more friendlier, and Blake was in the middle area mainly due to her support and love for her partner; Yang. Maria the wise old lady continued to teach Ruby about her silver eyes and also teach others about different types of Grimm, as Vale got better over the months more returned and helped out and soon it was only the ports waters and forests left to have a quick scan over. Atlas had made a radar that could pick up on larger and dangerous Grimm within the waters and forests, it helped them with getting rid of them, with the ports clear they opened up trading once more and getting equipment, materials, food and building materials, all that was left to be fixed was Beacon academy.
"Oh Adam hey over here," Adam looked up from his scroll to a waving Ruby Rose, her and the others were at a noodle stand, a few stalls and vendors had opened up in the safer central of Vale where the courtyard to the CCT towers was along with their originally camp setup was located. He raised his brow, "what's up little flash," it was something they began to call her as when she dealt with Grimm she went off like a flash bomb, she had gotten so much better with her ability and used it very often to grow its abilities. "We are having lunch want to join, it's the yummiest noddles on the market," Adam was surprised by the invitation and he was hungry too and late for lunch, "sure." Adam and Eve planned a date for him to be dropped off in Shade by Qrow in a bull head, with Spring coming he knew only a few more weeks up to a months' time away was all part of Eve's due date, with the tree babies she had been heavily monitored from the moment the doctor found out about them, he stated the third baby looked smaller and hadn't moved not even for them to find out its sex, however was alive as the heart echo continued to sound through the scans. Adam was bidding his last week within Vale before heading home to Eve and being with her and finally able to buy everything they needed.
"Hey Adam," Jaune said and Ren nodded to him, "as Adam sat next to the stoic younger male, he had not notice the tension from the group as they ordered and a blondie didn't look his way. He left it be, he wasn't one to worry over one person not liking him for very good reasons, he actually wondered why more of them didn't hate him, he had thought Jaune did but since he turned up in Vale all had been more accommodating. "So we hear your heading home soon to be with Eve and your crimes cleared, must be exciting?" Weiss spoke up as the old man who owned the noddle stand prepped their food loudly in the back room and quickly, practically sliding their ordered meals in front of them, he noted Blake's bowl of whole fishes. As the old man looked to them all to see who was paying, Adam paused noticing all the eyes of the younger ones present look to him, he actually laughed out, it had now made sense to him why they invited him, they were lucky he and Eve were fantastic at stealing money as they never went without. He opened his wallet and pulled out a few Lien cards and passed them over to the old timer, everyone dug in, "so it is true! You and Eve were the ones to steal all the money from people and that bank!" Nora looked shocked and of course was dramatic as she said it, everyone looked to her surprised that she was only now just realising this information. Adam chuckled "yeah, I thought yous knew that," the others nodded but shrugged, "what did yous use the money on?" Ruby asked curious, "well there are the sting of hotels and then the house in Moron still there and then there is the new home."
Adam took another big mouth full of his ramen with extra pork in it; Weiss elbowed Ruby and made a facial expression urging her to speak up, as if there was another reason why they invited him along. "Well… ha… ha... ha… you see we…" Nora sighed at Ruby's all of a sudden shyness as it had been her idea to do this and talk to him about it. Jaune spoke up "we overheard your talk a while back with Qrow, and we know about you and Eve…" Adam gave him a confused look, he talked to Qrow about a lot of things, "yous are expecting…" Jaune said slowly as realisation hit him and Adam straightened Ruby jumped in worried "we wanted to say congrats and…" Adam doubled over groaning out as Ruby fretted "we're sorry we didn't mean too, and we didn't tell anyone only those who are here know, but I am sure Maria clued on before anyone else, I swear she can read minds…" Adam was not prepared for the all-consuming pain to hit him like a Grimm hit to the stomach, he had experienced pre-birthing pains over the few months but this was super intense and it made him worry he knew it was far too soon for Eve to be in labour. He only noticed once the wave of pain passed that Ruby was talking herself into a hole thinking he was angered with them as he shook his head clear, pushing his nearly finished meal away, "I aint mad, thanks for telling me, now I really need to go…" Adam choked on his words as already the pain smashed him once more and he was doubled over clinging to the stand for dear life. It was Blake who stood with worry she knew something was off, "Adam are you alright, what's going on," Adam had to put up his hand to silence people as he was now sweating and groaning his pain out, much to everyone's shock.
Adam had a few come to his side as he said "Get Branwen," he ended up on his hands and knees in pain, 'for fuck sake' he had not be prepared for this and now he worried maybe Eve was not faring any better wither but more than anything, he just hoped that this was her going into labour instead of something else. When the pain passed once more Adam pulled out his scroll and video called Eve, she had the same idea as she answered immediately and without a beat said "I'm so sorry honey, it just happened so suddenly…" Adam spoke over her "I know; its okay have you contacted the doctor?" Adam nearly dropped his phone as he was hit with pain again and Eve too hummed through her pain, Qrow landed from his bird phase as he knelt down next to him asking the others around "what happened?"
The others backed up, Ruby, Blake and Ren stayed close though as did Qrow, Ruby took the scroll from Adam as she noted Eve was in synch with Adam's pain "are yous sharing pain?" she asked a little surprised and Qrow frowned "kid I need you to be honest…" Adam felt like he was going to throw up from the intense pain as he simply nodded "I thought her semblance was time related," Ren shook his head at Nora's attention to little details as they already knew Eve's and Adam's semblances "it is," Blake stated as a stretched was brought over for Adam to be rolled onto and taken to the med tent.
Eve had been prepping a snack when she was hit with pain that also had her water breaking over the kitchen floor, she moved quickly just panicking as she moved to her scroll and contacted the clinic; the nurse admin didn't get anything out of her greeting as Eve yelled into the speaker "babies are coming now!" "Oh… OH! We need you to come in, has your partner come back yet?" "No," Eve had to speak through her gritted teeth, "alright dear I will inform the doctor and we will have a local huntsman check up on you as we get the med bullhead to your place to bring you here," "alright." It finally as the pain subsided that Eve unlocked the door and lay down on the couch, her scroll went off and she knew instantly it was Adam, she felt so bad, knew he too could feel this pain. She was surprised to also see Ruby, Blake and a few others in the back ground, mainly able to hear Qrow and Ruby.
Eve finally heard the knock at her door as she shouted out "come in, it's unlocked" the hunter was a blond haired man with an arm tattoo and blue eyes, he was tall muscled and tan, "I was told a woman needed medical attention, a bullhead is on its way…" "DAD!" that surprised the huntsman along with Eve who saw Ruby looking at him through her scroll as the man looked surprised at Ruby "Ruby?!" Eve through her pain spoke up "your Ruby and Yang's dad, nice to meet cha, I need to…" the man put his hands out to calm the woman who he noted was obviously in labour and very heavily pregnant. "Do you have a prepped bag?" Eve pointed to her bedroom "yeah," "alright I will get it and we will wait for the transport, I'm Tai by the way, it seems you know my daughters?" Eve nodded sighing once the pain passed for the time being, but she had to prepare herself for the next round, "yeah we have meet multiple times and housed them on their travels."
Eve had only noticed that over the call Adam was transported to a med-tent that was more prepped then the local hospital of Vale, Adam had breathed deeply as he was put on a cot, the doctor offered to put in a needle and pain medication, but Adam stopped him "no it won't do a thing, Eve needs pain medication," the doctor looked confused as Qrow clued on, "so your pain will only go away if hers does?" Adam nodded "it's her pain and she is experience it, so she needs it to be settled, I am simply feeling her," Blake was a little intrigued as were all those in the background, and Adam noticed Ruby was talking to her own father on his scroll as he was with Eve, "so yous were staying in Patch?" He sighed but groaned as the pain came back, Adam had the feeling of being too hot and constricted and he begun to strip off the top half of his clothes and grabbed a pillow and hunching over it as he was in a fetal position face first as he moaned out with his face in the pillow. This blew Blake away, she had not seen Adam experience such pain and he was brought to his knees so easily not to mention it gave her a little understanding on just how painful birthing must really be. Qrow spoke up as the one in charge, Blake and Ruby yous stay the rest leave, and don't tell anyone about this, same with you doc." The present doc simply nodded, Ruby was still listening in on the line and Blake took a seat with the others settled in for gods knew how long.
Tai continued to talk to Eve and try to take her attention off of the pain as he asked her questions, "is this your first baby, well I should say babies, you look like your pregnant with more than one." Eve nodded "three," she heard the others on the scroll mimic her words in shocked surprise, all but Qrow. "Oh wow, I only have two daughters, do you know their sex?" Tai had her bag already and the door to her house was wide open as he was ready to scoop the woman up and rush onto the bullhead, "two boys for sure, don't know about the third though." "When were you originally due," he asked feeling sceptical "a month longer," Tai silently nodded, "alright well you're in luck, I hear women always complain their babies take too long in the oven, so it seems they are eager to come meet you, however have you thought about going to a real hospital?" Eve nodded "if my babies need it then yes, Doctor Azure knows as well he will make the call if needed."
Adam was light headed from the pain he was only really able to take in his surroundings between Eve's contractions, he had also been sick with pain and was continuously offered cold water as he was sweating a huge amount and was only in his jocks. Blake held his cup with a straw, so he learned Eve was dealing with the pain much better than he was, he knew there was a reason why women gave birth and not men. When the pain begun to weaken in its severe-ness he guessed it was because Eve was getting pain medication, he was able to weakly ask "how's Eve," Qrow laughed sarcastically "doing much better than you buddy," Adam chuckled "I don't doubt, I mean more as in what's going on," Qrow had been here for just a little over an hour now, "Eve had a huntsman go to her place which is actually Tai and they both got onto a med bullhead, it was decided by her doctor that she goes to the hospital in Shade, Tai has her phone in the delivery room, she is getting pain killers." It was then that they heard on the scroll a nurses voice saying "oh wow your 9 centimetres dilated, lets quickly get the doctor in here and extra hands," one nurse left the room to do so while another strapped Eve to monitors and put a strap onto her tummy as it picked up the heart beats of the babies, all the monitors had squiggly lines each having something they monitored.
Adam was feeling more in control and focused with Eve getting pain medication, he rolled onto his back propped up on pillows as he realised he had stripped of to just his jocks, he took the drink from Blake and murmured his thanks. Qrow took the scroll from Ruby and told them to scram, it was just him and Adam in the med tent and on the other end was Tai with Eve as the nurses and doctors prepared for the large job of delivering three babies who were premature in their evacuation of Eve's womb.
Eve thought the contractions were bad but this to her was hell, she was bearing down and trying to push her first baby out of her, she could only push while a contraction was helping her muscles push out her baby. She had Tai's hand in her own as he held her scroll in the other, between contractions Eve let go off his hand and would apologise for squeezing so hard. Meanwhile Adam was not doing so well, he too held onto Qrow's hand and he too could feel just like Eve, he was in a birthing position as he could feel the contractions and the need to bear down too. He knew later he would feel the blow to his pride, but in that moment he needed to hold onto Qrow's hand and scream out in pain and bear down, he was shocked that he hadn't shit himself yet. Qrow was not ready for this, nor did he ever think he would be the one to help a fully grown man through his labour, 'god never thought I would say that' he thought to himself. It took two hours before the first baby was born, Adam was smiling as did Eve once they heard the cries and the people bustle about in the hospital room to make sure the baby was okay "it's a boy, one down mum only two left," Doctor Azure encouraged her "yay" she said in the bluntness sarcastic tone she could muster up, Adam sighed wanting to cry at the thought of going through that a few more times.
The contractions were easier with their second baby boy who was delivered in half an hour; Adam smiled once more feeling the absolute happiness at the thought of the last coming and this being over and done with. However the contractions never came with the last one, the doctor and nurses all check the monitors and heartbeat, "we were lucky the first two were in the cephalic position," the doctor was filling through Eve's abdominal to tell if the third was head down as well, it took half an hour but the contractions begun, and Eve had enough time to get a drink of water, relax more and look at her first two babies, the eldest was 7.2Kg's and the middle child 6.7Kg's, the doctor was happy to see, but it made him worry that the last one was severely malnourished because he stated that the two were much bigger than they should have been for the month she was in. Eve got to hold her first two before they were swept off, she was happy to see bright red hair on the eldest who also had blue eyes and little bald patches on his scalp where he was obviously going to grow horns from, and the same with their second born who had blue eyes and brown hair, the bald patches where their horns were to grow from were in different positions on their heads.
The last birth was so quick and easy, Eve could feel the size difference compared to the first two, and the doctor rushed as did the nurses once the last baby was out of her body and umbilical cord cut. Throughout this time the scroll was still open with the video call, and straight away Eve was asking questions as they set up an incubator for the youngest, another doctor helped to vacate the after births, and Eve saw another doctor helping Azure prep the baby. She had not heard a cry and Eve's heart was up in her throat as she took could feel the tension on the other side of the video call and Adam simply asked by calling her name. Eve simply said "I don't know." The smallest of their babies was whisked away as Azure came over to explain what was going on "well congratulations you also had a daughter, she is in an incubator far too small compared to her older brothers, she is only 4.3Kg's she will be here for a while," Eve and Adam were relieved "can I see here once she is settled?" Azure nodded "of course."
Qrow had never been so happy for something to be over let alone the happy note that it ended on with Eve and all three babies safe, Adam had finally let go of his hand once he heard his daughter was alive. "Sorry," Qrow shrugged making a sound that he didn't care "well congratulations, I suppose we should get you dressed and send you on back to your family," Adam seemed relieved to hear it, he wanted to be present when his children were to be brought into the world and in a sense he was, he was so grateful to both Tai and Qrow for being present for himself and Eve.
Adam was taken straight to Shade where his new huntsman license was passed off to him by Qrow, Adam looked to him surprised "both you and Eve's records are cleared and no more bounties on your head, now go say hi to your family… hope to see yous in Vale sometime soon." Qrow waved as he walked away, Adam was shown to a room with two babies and Eve, the first two born being present, he noted they both were Faunus and like he and Eve with horns. Tai passed over the scroll as Adam said "thank you," he shook hands with the older man and said "Qrow's outside if you want to catch him before he leaves," Tai smirked "I'll do that, take care of each other," "we will."
Eve and Adam dropped their bags at home exhausted as they both held a baby each, their sons they chose to name Ace and Logan, Adam had to do all the shopping by himself for the baby furniture. Eve was lucky she had not torn or needed stitches, she and the boys were released quickly however their daughter that they named Quinn, who was born human entirely through and through she had red hair and blue eyes like her eldest brother, but she was to stay in hospital for a longer period of time, and Eve and Adam went back and forth visiting her and holding her when they could. Adam was just so happy to learn she was safe but she was so tiny she could fit in one of his hands; he actually cried the first time he held her as did Eve by his side as she held onto both of their sons.
Quinn got to 6Kg's before the hospital let her go home, all hr facilities worked and she was responsive, able to open her eyes and being awake some more hours compare to what she used to be. Quinn was taken home with Adam and Eve and her older brothers, it was a busy and loud home, Adam did the cleaning and Eve took care of the boys, due to Quinn being on a high nutritional formula, she continued on drinking that meanwhile the boys were allergic to Eve's breast milk and had to go onto formula too. Time moved quickly to the two off them as they were busy in one way or another, they also lacked a lot of sleep and chose to sleep only when their babies did, that became scared when the boys horns grew through more as the days passed along with their teething was a terrible combination. Ace had horns growing out of the upper sides of his head that curved and pointed up, but were still small and cute, Logan's was much the same but were growing at an angle that pointed up and forward on a 30 to 40 degree angle and they were white and very straight and angular (think Ichigo Kurosaki's horns in full hollow mode from bleach).
Adam plaid and cuddled with them a lot, he didn't think he could feel so much pride just from looking at one little being and he had three which he liked to think was triple the pride, Quinn was an observant little thing, she liked to take in expressions and her surroundings, she wasn't loud and she never cried even when hungry she simply just puts out her little hands and fists them as if trying to grab something. Adam babied her the most, he didn't care if she was or wasn't a Faunus, he guessed Eve being originally human meant they were able to have a human baby too, or she could grow her faunus trait later on in life like Eve had once she had Aura. Adam liked making them giggled and sometimes he and Eve would do hand puppet shows to make them laugh instead of sticking them in front of the television.
Adam would leave every now and again to go on a mission and earn money, all the money they had was given over to Vale and helped with their finances and to finish setting it up, Adam had been the one to inform his parents who had been worried as they had not heard from them in such a long time. Of course that was a loud call for them as Pinkie was now older and she squealed in delight at seeing three babies as did Mazon "why didn't yous tell us sooner" Eve smiled as did Adam "sorry mum, but it just sort of happened," "I'm proud of you son," Adam smiled at his father's words "thanks dad, also Eve and I have cleared our names and also helped with re-fixing Vale," he didn't really want to go into details that he was the one to do all the work, Adam also never expected Eve to do anything work to clear her name after all she didn't do much or many crimes in this world after all it wasn't up to her to fix the world's problems. Adam had noticed the change though, Schnee Dust Company was shut down and other dust companies opened up with a new law of equal rights and fair employment and rate for all not just humans but also Faunus. Jacques was sent to prison and never allowed to start up another company, everything that was not used to pay off his fines was left in Snow Schnee's name; his wife who filed for divorce and sold of their property and items and giving the money to her children before she herself moved over to Anima to live.
The White Fang was a peaceful organisation once again who helped those who are homeless and was a help call centre that did everything from domestic and racist abuse victims to those needing employment, food, financial help and accommodation. They also helped all asylum seekers and dealt with those who broke the law in the name of the Faunus.
Adam had finally gotten what he wanted, he walked home with a skip and hop in his step, he griped the little black velvet box in his pocket, Eve was finding it easier to solo parent when Adam was off on work. With the babies growing up quickly and now running around and playing being two years old, Eve finally got a lot more house work done and even began training once more. Eve felt excitement bloom in her chest, she knew Adam was excited about something, however when she saw him come in from his last huntsman expedition he sighed exhausted "I'm going to go to bed and catch some proper sleep," Eve gave him a peck on the cheek, okay dear, I'll tell you when dinner is ready." Eve noted he was lucky it was nap time for the children or else he wouldn't be able to sleep so easily arriving when the kids were too excited and happy and wanted to play upon seeing him.
Eve noticed Ace had the mentality of the eldest, he was prideful and acted like he could do anything, he tried toys and food before the others too as if it was his birth right, Logan was a shy cry baby always clinging to one person or another, he was typically looking up to Ace to know what to do, or glued to Eve like a security blanket. Then there was Quinn she was easily entertained, she always took in her surroundings, either finding out how a new toy worked or going out on a mini adventure by following a butterfly off into the garden and then finding pretty wild flowers to play with. Eve had gotten her books and pencils and crayons to draw with, she learned it was best as Eve fretted every time Quinn was out of sight and Eve's brain provided scary scenarios of her daughter finding trouble even though she had never done so in the past.
Eve nearly died when Ace's first words were 'pudding' his favourite food, for Logan it was 'mummy' and Quinn still to this day never spoke a word, Adam had been trying to get her to say daddy however she never did, he claimed it was because she was a late bloomer. Eve knew a few children back in her home world sometimes could go without talking until four years old or even longer, but Quinn never made a noise even when born, which made Eve think her daughter had a damaged voice box or vocal cords. All tests came back fine so Adam and Eve let it be, Eve stood shocked when she went to go wake up Adam only to find the room dimmed and with candles and rose petals everywhere, Eve had a sneaky suspicion that Adam had help getting the rose petals from a specific little silver eyed warrior. "Adam?" Eve followed the rose petals to their bed where it said turn around; Adam was now down on a knee in front of her as she turned to see him holding a box with a ring in it. Instantly Eve cupped her hands to her mouth in surprise, she had not thought about getting married since before they had the babies as so much happened in such a short period of time and they were just so busy. "Evelyn Salkow will you do me the honours of becoming my wife and in return I will be your husband," Adam could feel his and her excitement bloom in his chest along with love and happiness as Eve screamed yes and Adam put the ring on her finger as she jumped up on him, he caught her as she wrapped her legs around him and kissed him, choosing to not let go. Finally she looked over to the door way seeing three sets of eyes looking in on them, the two boys quickly moved back being caught but Quinn continued to look in not caring, as they to pulled her back as if she wasn't meant to be caught, Eve laughed as Adam turned asking what it was. "Yous can come in," all three heads popped in from around the corner and Quinn went right in and up to her parents not worried in the slightest and her brothers followed her, "what are yous doing?" Ace asked "mummy and daddy are going to get married," Logan asked "what's that," Eve smiled as Adam let her down and picked up Quinn as she raised her arms to him, he learned she loved to play with his horns and feel their texture.
'Well you see mummy and daddy love each other deeply but a marriage is so that everyone knows mummy and daddy love each other, there is a party and everyone dresses pretty and there is food, music, cake and friends and family," Logan spoke up Grandma and Grandpa will be there," Ace perked up asking "cake," Quinn clapped her hands as if she approved too with her excitement. "Yeah they will," "when," they asked now all eager "well we will need to see."
Patch was a great place for a wedding especially in spring with all the new plants, flowers and everything seemed brighter with birds and butterflies it was a colourful season and Eve sometimes used her powers to clear the weather up if her children wished to play in the garden. She of course made sure she carried Vida with her to be able to protect the children if needed, over the years Eve and Adam worked closely with Qrow, Tai, Ruby, Weiss, Jaune, Nora, Ren, Blake and lastly Yang, who simply chose to not acknowledge their existence which Eve understood. She invited Adam's family, Qrow and Winter along with Oscar, Maria and all the others they stayed in contact with, Eve was so happy that Tai and Ruby lived close by considering they were located on a dense forest island.
Eve had fun picking out the small tuxedo's and pink and white little dress for Quinn, she knew the children would most likely be the ones having the most fun. Everything was set up, it was to be a garden party, with isles of chairs and many wild flowers set up along with a wide open tent with a dance floor, small band and many tables. Yang had not turned up but that was understandable Tai apologised but Eve said it was understandable, it was awkward when Tai found out about raven he was upset and things were tense for a while but they managed to talk about it and he was open understanding just who Raven was as a person and able to accept her death. After the vows where they actually had their own which explained how Eve was brought to the world and their first meeting which made Blake smile remembering back along with others being shocked he tried to kill her and then finding out they were connected by their souls and bonded for life.
It was also beautiful as people found it romantic that they were able to feel each other's pain, emotions and share thoughts, Qrow made a joke stating that "it wasn't romantic when Adam was crushing his hand and screaming in pain as Eve gave birth, which many laughed at. Qrow was actually Adam's best man and Maria was Eve's maid of honour as the older woman was finny but was closest to Eve. So many people enjoyed the food and the cake was beautiful, the boys had to be shooed off to prevent them from eating the cake prematurely. Eve had to do searches for Quinn throughout the day as she would come upon her every now and again in the woods, or drawing a pretty flower she saw. Qrow noticed "hmm little disappearing act huh?" they both watched her from their spot as Adam was off trying to kept Ace out of trouble as he had caught him with a lute of alcohol, and Logan was following behind Pinkie who was bound to get him into trouble or him learning things the little bunny girl blurted out at random.
"Yeah, she still doesn't speak even to this day," Qrow sat down next to her, before falling to the floor as the chair he sat on gave way, many noticed but continued on as it was just him, and he grabbed another chair. "Is that normal in your world," he frowned as he watched her look at a butterfly floating by and then slowly land on her nose as she went cross eyed looking at it, Eve smiled "normally only with mental trauma or damaged voice box, which she also has not suffered from either, Adam says she's a late bloomer." Qrow considered it "maybe she already has her semblance and its one that can activate on its own or is always active, my was from the day I was born, took people a while to realise…" Eve nodded "it is possible, seeing I evolved and mentally, emotionally and physically changed from aura it is also possible she is different from as, evolved differently." Qrow looked at her surprised as he had not thought that deeply about it but he guessed her being the mother she had hours and obviously years to ponder over her thoughts. "Does it really matter," Eve looked to him surprised and he was right "I guess not," "so tell me what Romeo has decided for your honeymoon," "oh no… we aint having one, we have the children and I am pretty sure the years before they came along was a pre-honeymoon, plus we are not having any more babies nor risking it." Qrow laughed "yours or his words?" Eve reluctantly said "his," it was then that Eve noticed Quinn getting up and following after the butterfly she was so entranced with into the woods, Eve was about to get up, but Qrow put his hand on her arm, "I'll keep an eye on her," Eve sat back down with a grateful smile "thanks Qrow."
Qrow changed into his other form and followed Quinn into the woods, he noted she didn't show many emotions, but was very intrigued with everything, Qrow had no idea why bit he always got a strange feeling from the little girl, it wasn't bad exactly but it was strange. He was so focused on her that he flew straight into a tree and fell to the forest floor, upon landing on his ass as a human and groaning he heard the childish laughter and saw Quinn clapping letting out a melodic sound as all the grass, plants and trees around her flourished and grew with the sound of her voice. He was shocked but smiled too, it was not dangerous it was beautiful he guessed if she was angered it would be a totally different experience but with her happy the forest grew beautiful around them, he saw plants and flowers that he was sure weren't even a thing nor real in the world. "Well look at our little melody all happy, do you think me falling on my back side is funny," Qrow continued to smile and Quinn nodded not in the least bit worried, but she now noticed she lost sight of the butterfly and for a second she was sad, the plants were not as bright anymore. "Hey enough of that, the butterfly needs to go home to his family as do you, I hear the cake is gonna be cut soon, wanna get a slice?" And just like that Qrow saw the plants brim with life at her excitement as he picked her up and they walked back to the backyard wedding.
Once back at the wedding all were dancing and some of the adults were getting tipsy and merry, Adam and Eve were waiting for everyone to gather around too cut the cake, they need the best man to be there for that. "Where is he," Adam asked and Eve looked around noting him coming into the open tent with Quinn in his arms, "there you are," ready for cake Qrow looked to Quinn to answer as she smiled and nodded for them. Eve heard Winter next to her aww at seeing Qrow with Quinn, and she smiled at the wanton look in the Schnee's eyes as it was obvious what she wanted, it was now common knowledge that the two were together in a relationship, however they lived separate and worked sometimes going months without seeing one another. Eve didn't know how they managed it as it nearly ended Eve, she could only stand it when Adam left for a week or two a month at max for his work but anything more than that and she would be lost without him.
The cake was cut and the children enjoyed it more than anyone, it seemed Qrow had decided to not leave Quinn nor did she want to be let down she seemed content with him, and Winter also joined them and playing and smiling with Quinn. Eve wasn't sure why but something seemed off about Quinn she was more expressive, she guessed she would talk to Qrow about it when they get some time alone.
Mazon, Pinkie and Zander stayed with them as the children shared a room, Weiss, Ruby, Tai, Qrow and Winter stayed to help them clean up and pack things away, they also lived close by so they didn't need to leave to catch a bullhead home. Weiss was far more friendly and she got along with Ruby like they were sisters, Ruby was still oblivious to Qrow being her father in reality only Adam, Tai and Qrow knew the rest was oblivious, Weiss moved in with Ruby and sometimes stayed with her sister but she preferred to be with Ruby on missions. "So what happened in the woods," Qrow seemed surprised "what makes you think something happened?" Eve gave him a 'oh please' look "I'm her mother I know something happened," "hmm so that mothers intuition stuff is real huh, shouldn't be surprised, but I realised why she isn't so vocal, you see her semblance is a part of her voice, she laughed in the forest and everything grew it was amazing but it is also connected to her emotions, when she was sad the nature dulled too, I hadn't seen such plants and the speed they grew at was amazing. I'm guessing if she wasn't so happy though there would be a different reaction with the nature around her." Eve looked surprised to him "oh wow, I am surprised" Adam spoke up "yeah you and me both," Eve turned to see him coming into the kitchen with glasses and plates being balanced and the boys running pass him "sorry dad" they screamed as they continued on their way and Eve helped him not drop the load "no running in the house!"
Two years later
Adam and Eve collapsed into their bed, finally done for the day and the long ass week of shifting from Patch into a new house in Vale, they had to make the move as it was easier for school and also with Adam being a teacher at Beacon. The council had finally come back together over the years and agreed that Adam would need to be protected if his life was indeed intertwined with Eve's making him a prime target too, Eve also guessed that they wanted eyes on the fall and spring maiden too. Winter, Weiss, Ruby and Qrow shifted into their Patch house, as they were going to take care of it and live in it, Adam and Eve chose to turn the house in Moron as a hunters outpost where they could recoup, use it as a warehouse and also a point to grab bounties as many of the outlying villages had picked up with being fixed up and reinhabited, Moron being one point along with a few other larger cities and towns being the main ones to keep the smaller ones clear and free of Grimm, law breakers and trouble. Jaune, Nora and Ren were the ones to keep it up and running and spear headed the work, they travelled all the way from the west end of Anima to Port August where they worked closely with a specific general who was in charge there. Glenda had become the headmaster of Haven after Leo Lionheart died, Oscar went into Beacon for more training, and all the other teams from the years before the huntsman school shit down were already graduated. Qrow became the headmaster of Beacon and Ruby a teacher as the other teachers were still present; it had been the strongest the villages and kingdoms had ever been in years since Salem first made her move with Cinder as her spear head.
Eve had to make sure the house they got had a green house, they were lucky they had a nice large house, it allowed the children their own rooms and Eve and Adam had a master along with an extra guest room. It was truly a mansion and nothing she was prepared for. Ace had full on bull horns that were black like his fathers and Logan got white sharp straight cut bull horns which were entirely unique like Eve's. Logan slowly grew up out of his shy and scared persona mainly because he followed Ace around, who was a go getter and easily finding trouble, they were all so entranced with heroes and Grimm and Huntsman and Huntresses and what they wanted to be when older, meanwhile Quinn stayed detached but happy, she was more intrigued with nature and art, she still never spoke and Eve came to terms with that. Quinn had a bedroom on the first floor of the house it add large open french doors and windows letting in lots of light, she also had access out to the yard and a greenhouse meanwhile her room was essentially an art room with a bed.
Adam came home with his children now being six years old, they still came rushing to him when he got home to say hi and play with him, Adam had calmed down not so worried about not being in the field anymore, their children kept him busy and his energy reserves lower than normal, he also didn't mind doing the paperwork and marking it reminded him of the white fang but more pleasant. Eve was happy she could train their children, teach them, and play with them she also helped Quinn by also showing her, her own maiden abilities which always made Quinn happy to see; it also made her not feel so different. Ace was always rushing off into Vale and finding trouble in one way or another, he ended up accidentally activating his semblance as he found out the hard way it was being able to turn invisible, which only upped his trouble making schemes and pranks.
Logan learned he was similar to his father in a way, he had accidentally tumbled down the stairs hurting him and out of panic from the pain the damage turned into an ultra-dense ball that shot off from the tips of his horns that poked out from the front of his head. That had been messy for them to clean up, and Adam had to specially take him into the forest to train him so he wouldn't accidentally shoot off one of the blasts, they were destructive and could easily take a life. Logan had cried and cried when the part of the ceiling he blew apart nearly landed on Eve, if it hadn't been for her own semblance she surely would have been hurt.
The two tired parents fell into their beds, after dinner the kids were in bed after their showers, "do you want to have sex?" Adam asked Eve smirked but looked over "you have to top then," he groaned and the fact that they were debating making love was hilarious to her. "Remember when we used to do it all day long because we could," Adam smirked "oh those were the days," it was then Eve realised they were getting old, she turned over kissing her husband, "I love you and our children," Adam seemed perplex with her behaviour "I love yous all to." He kissed her once more before feeling her run her hands over him and down his pants, "protection" was all Adam stated and Eve laughed, she knew he had a difficult time during the birth but Eve didn't think it would be to the point that they would not have another child, sure she was happy with her three babies but she did want more. "Please Adam~" Adam knew immediately what she was asking for, he knew this would happen especially with Winter pregnant she had gotten clucky and he had been asked for them to have another for a while now.
He sighed remembering years had passed since the triplets were born and her own clock would be running out sooner rather than later, he kissed her deeply once more, a bit more invigorated as he had not been able to experience her pregnancy with her in person, he guessed this would be exciting for him too. He pulled back for the kiss "alright love," Eve glomped him as she ended up topping him with her excitement as she felt young again like when they first met.
Qrow and Winter welcomed a son, named Hugh, Qrow had wanted to tell Ruby he was really her father but he went to Tai about it and it was Tai who didn't want too, he loved Ruby like she was his own and he didn't want her to feel betray at all from either of them so the secret stayed. Blake and Yang moved to menagerie as they became ambassadors to human and Faunus co-living, all the kingdoms and world became a place where all were welcomed and in doing that so did the Faunus Island. The two worked closely with the White Fang and held up the laws for the Faunus and did dust company code checks to make sure no laws were being broken. They adopted human and Faunus children, it had really helped Yang as she became a mum and she still to that day could not understand how her mother abandoned her at such a young age as Yang couldn't do that to those who depended on her. She came out of her shell as over the years she saw the world and the people in a different light, Ren and Nora went from village to village re-building and fixing up places and helping those in need, they settled down in their old village and had a family. Oscar and Ruby becoming the protectors and leaders of the Beacon academy ended up getting closer until they were dating, much to Qrow's horror, meanwhile Weiss and Jaune meet up years later and it all felt right and they just clicked.
Eve walked with her two children with the third seeing if he could practice his hiding skills and become as silent as a ninja, Eve shook her head but found her oldest imagination, fun, excitement and blatant trouble making skills to be funny to a degree. "I heard you," "ah man" Eve turned knowing her son was trying to sneak up behind her, he seemed exhausted like he had been invisible for far longer than normal. Eve made sandwiches for lunch, taking it to each of them, it was when Eve was done trying to prep dinner for that night that she felt the wave of nausea, she hadn't been so happy to be sick in her life and she rushed to her own bathroom to be sick and then grab out a pregnancy test, they had stocked up once they decided to try for another child.
Eve's scroll buzzed
'What has you so excited and anxious?' Eve smiled thinking this could hopefully keep her mind off of the test for five minutes while it settled on the results. However she was distracted by a scream from Logan, she rushed to the top of the stairs looking down to the lounge room where she knew all three kids were watching T.V. while they ate their lunch she gave them. She simply saw Quinn shaking her head like she normally did at her idiot brother's antics and Logan crying as Ace became visible "what the hell happened?" Logan pointed to Ace "he scared me and I slipped and my tooth came out," he continued to cry as Eve could now see the small amount of blood on his gums and lip. "oh that's all jeeze," all the children paused and looked at her as if she grew another head but Logan cried harder, "oh dear, look when you lose a tooth a little fairy will come while you sleep and take your tooth but give you lien in return for it, but you must put it under your pillow." They looked confused as Ace frowned "why," "well the fairy like teeth they keep records of them all, so they give you money as it is a big deal to lose a tooth so you get money instead." Eve rolled her eyes and she knew that the look Quinn gave her said she knew she was lying Eve winked at her daughter as the girl smirked. Logan stood up picking up his tooth "really," he now had a lisp seeing as it was his front tooth, Eve had never had to try so hard to not laugh at her child as she nodded.
Eve only remembered about the test up in the bedroom once her and Adam were going to bed and Adam had picked it up, "so this is what you were so excited about today," Eve looked to now remembering what she had been doing before Logan lost his tooth. "Oh what does it say," Adam seemed confused "pregnant?" Eve looked at it, "yay," she said as Adam asked "didn't you know" she shook her head "I forgot, the kids side-tracked me, "oh do you have lien on you," she asked as Adam frowned "yeah but only a gold one," Eve paused but shrugged "well you need to put it under Logan's pillow and take his tooth without being caught." Adam looked at her like she lost her freaking mind, so Eve told him about the events and how she told him about the tooth fairy, Adam sighed putting his hand over his eyes "we don't do fairy tooth ladies in this world," Eve rolled her eyes "obviously," Adam rolled her eyes "you're lucky our children didn't come out as a shark, alligator or crocodile Faunus, can you image the teeth they would lose." Eve actually laughed at that, "we would be so broke," Adam laughed next to her as he passed her the Lien, "you can do it, your semblance is more for this kind of thing anyway." Eve sighed taking the money and going to her second eldest and paused time as she took his tooth with a dirty look on her face at all the congealed blood on it, she dumped it in the bathroom bin in her room.
Adam and Eve finally got a scan done and had a proper due date for once, Adam nearly cried when he heard from the doctor that they were expecting more than one yet again. Adam had his face hidden in his hands at the scan while Eve said 'yay' trying to perk him up but failing miserably. "Oh honey it aint that bad," Adam jumped on her words "aint that bad, do you remember your last pregnancy I remember the birth between the all-encompassing pain and losing my stomach over and over again," Eve held his hand "we will be going to a hospital and doing an epidural," that calmed him enough, "well second time around lucky hey," he asked looking exhausted "that's the spirit honey."
When telling their children that they were going to have younger siblings Ace was angry and annoyed as if the three of them weren't enough for them, Logan cried and Quinn smiled obviously happy for the new additions, "can't you fix this," Logan cried and Ace frowned Adam was looking at his son's "no once a woman is pregnant then that is it," Ace went invisible as the chair moved back and he was obviously running off "hey you were not excused from the table young man," "I'm not hungry," he shouted followed by a slammed door, and Logan looked to Eve "do you not love me anymore mummy, I promise I won't break the house anymore." Eve looked at him in shock, "no honey, I will always look all of yous, I am only having more babies to love, this won't change anything Logan actually you will have many siblings who will love you too as will your father and I that won't change and I could never be angry with you accidentally damaging something."
Adam and Eve relaxed they were happy, the children had slowly come around well Ace did, Adam had focused a little more on him and Logan was glued to Eve, Quinn continued her art she was very happy with getting more siblings. The Taurus house hold was to be a lively and loud one with many good and bad times, Eve remembered back to the Christian faith that said Adam and Eve had many children and how Eve had thought of the tow of them like that, now looking at her life she guessed they were and she wouldn't trade it for anything, she rubbed her hand over her swollen belly ready for the next chapter of her life.
