I have to clear up one problem that Xenolis brought to me, because Lily was the last person Cinder was thinking of, she is now the Fall Maiden, that is why she passed out. Now that's out of the way now onto the story. Enjoy.
Chapter 14: The Newest Rose.
When I woke up I had no idea where I was. I looked around the room I was in with groggy eyes and I saw Vlad, Indigo, Evan, and Ruby sleeping in chairs around the room.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Oh Lily you're up. Thank goodness." Indigo exclaimed when she heard me.
"What happened?" I asked again.
"You passed out after you beat Cinder. Ozpin ran a few test and he said that you are now the 'Fall Maiden' or whatever that means. He said to visit him when you were feeling well enough." Evan informed me.
"Vlad." I said quietly.
"Yes my love." Vlad said
"I'm pregnant. I found out last night just before I entered the fight." I informed him.
"Lily we kind of already know." Vlad said as he started to blush. "The doctors performed a pregnancy test while Ozpin was testing you and it came back positive."
"I'm going to go see Ozpin." I say, but right as I get up I feel a kick and I grab my stomach.
"Easy, Lily. The doctors said no strenuous movement for the next few weeks." Vlad said as he put his arm around me.
"I'll be fine just help me to the window." I say.
"Also due to your history they locked the windows so you can't fly out." Evan said as Vlad put me back in the bed.
"Fine I'll do this the old fashioned way." I say as I push the button to call the nurse. A nurse came in almost so fast I swore she had Ruby's semblance.
"Yes Miss Rose." the nurse asked.
"Could I please go see Ozpin. I have a few questions for him." I say nicely.
"Actually he is in the waiting room. I'll let him know you would like to see him." She said as she left. Not too long after Ozpin came into the room.
"You wish to speak with me Miss Rose." Ozpin said as he closed the door.
"Yes could you please inform me on who the Fall Maiden is?" I ask.
"That information is for your ears only, so could everyone else please leave. You can see Lily once I am done talking with her." Ozpin said.
"Alright." Indigo said as she, Evan, and Ruby left the room.
"I'm not leaving my rose's side." Vlad says as he sits beside my bed.
"Okay but the information I am about to tell you does not leave this room." Ozpin says.
"Deal." Both Vlad and I say at the same time.
"A long time ago an old hermit is visited by four sisters, who each in their own unique ways are kind to him; the first by encouraging him to meditate and reflect, the second by bringing him fruit and flowers and revitalizing his garden, the third convincing him to step outside and embrace the world, and the fourth by encouraging him to be thankful for what he has. The old man gives the sisters great powers in return for their kindness, and the four maidens go through Remnant spreading their gifts. These are the Maidens. Cinder was the most current Fall Maiden. Also whenever a Maiden passes she passes her powers down to a young lady, such as yourself, but it is more intimate than that. The powers are passed down to the last person on her mind. Since you were the last person on Cinder's mind and you are a young lady, you received the Fall Maiden's powers." Ozpin said.
"Um…" I said.
"I'm speechless." Vlad said.
"I know it's ridiculous when you first hear it, but it's the truth. I can prove it to you. Try to form a fireball." Ozpin said.
"Okay." I say skeptically I as I hold my hand out palm up. In an instant my palm burst into flames, yet I felt no heat coming from it.
"Bloody hell." Vlad exclaimed as the I put it out by closing my hand.
"I told you. Here's the thing Lily, the Spring Maiden has fallen ill and we would like your child to become the next Spring Maiden." Ozpin said.
"Is it safe?" Vlad and I ask.
"Yes all we have to do is have the Spring Maiden think about your child when she passes." Ozpin says as I hear a splash and I have immense pains in my stomach.
"It's happening." I say
"What now?" Vlad said.
"NURSE!" Ozpin shouted as I pushed the call button.
"Yes what is it." The nurse said as she opened the door.
"MY WATER JUST BROKE!" I scream because the pain is so immense.
"We have a room ready for you Miss Rose." she said as she helped me into a wheelchair.
I was in labor for ten hours when I hear the cries of my child.
"It's a girl." The doctor said.
"May I hold her?" I ask.
"In one moment Miss Rose." the nurse said as the doctor walked over the sink and washed the blood off my child.
"What are we going to name her?" Vlad asked as the doctor handed my baby.
I look into her eyes and I see that they are a dark green.
"Jade." I say
"Perfect." Vlad said.
"Jade Rose. You will do great things." I say as I pull her close.
"Lily." Vlad said quietly
"Yes Vlad." I say
"Would you marry me?" He said as he held out a paper mache ring made out of a one Lien bill.
I look at him with big bright eyes.
"Of course I will." I exclaim.
"Don't worry I have a real ring in my coat." He says
"You." I say as the doctor comes in with a camera.
"Time for the first family photo." He says as we pose for the photo and he takes the picture.
"I can't wait for your adventures to start." I say to Jade as she just looks up to me with her deep green eyes.
Hope you liked the chapter it will be the last one of this story, but now it's time to release the next story. It will be following Jade through her time at Signal and Beacon. Stay tuned for more. I am currently still accepting character suggestions.
