Ruby woke up and turned over in bed to see Roman sleeping peacefully. She smiled and got out of her and stretched. She needed for the shower kicking their clothes out of her way. She still had college in a two hours and as much as she wanted to lay around with him, she couldn't.
Ruby showered as fast as she could and grabbed a pair of Roman's pajama bottoms and one of his t shirts. She would run by her house and grab some flip flops. Once she was done, she wrote Roman a note and laid it on the pillow by him. Ruby didn't want him to think she just left with no intention of returning.

Roman woke up about two in the afternoon and saw Ruby's handwriting on letter. He grinned and laid back looking at his ceiling. He couldn't believe the amazing night he had. It definitely was worth the wait and he hope Ruby felt the same.
He got out of bed and headed into the kitchen and was greeted by Junior. He looked up from lunch meat sandwich to see the grin on Roman's face. He sat down at the table with a dreamy look on his face. Junior couldn't help but snicker like a kid.
"What?"
"I take it you and Ruby made up?"
Roman nodded, "It went a lot better than I thought it would."
Junior grinned and room a bite of his sandwich.
"I wanna marry her."
The look on his best friend's face was priceless.
"What?"
"I want to marry her, Hei."
"You two just got back together."
"I don't care."
"Can you just wait a little bit?"
"I guess I could. I really don't see any reason to wait."
Junior sighed, "What makes you so sure?"
"The way she makes me feel. I watched her go to sleep and I laid there forever wondering how someone so great and wonderful could love me even after everything I lied about. Mom said I deserved better than Emerald but I don't deserve someone as great as Ruby."
"That's the great thing about strong, independent women... They accept us for our flaws and always give a second chance even when we don't think we deserve it."
Both men stayed in silence for the longest time.
"Are you going to marry the Ice Queen?"
Hei's face turned bright red.
"I don't know."
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Naw. It's just her family is rich and I guarantee daddy will want us to have a preen up. I'm not after her money but sometimes it makes me uncomfortable."
"I understand that. Ruby gets like that with my dad."
"I... I have something to tell you," Junior said.
"God, you're leaving me aren't you?" Roman teased.
Junior laughed nervously.
"Weiss is pregnant."
Roman's jaw dropped and he closed it. He held up his hand then made a face and dropped his hand.
"Say something please."
Roman just gave him a thumbs up.
"Dammit man! Say something supportive! You're killing me here!"
"Good job, you're fertile."
Junior glared at him.
"I don't know how to react. Are you happy?"
Junior smiled, "Yea. It was rather unexpected but I am glad."
"Congrats man!" Roman said with a big grin on his face, "Honestly I thought you would die alone!"
He gave him the finger.

Once she finished her homework and part of her thesis, she headed to Weiss' place. Weiss was puking sick this morning and she never knew Ruby heard her. She parked and headed up to Weiss' room through her parent's house. Everyone was gone but Weiss because her car was still there.
She went to push open the door because it was cracked when she heard Junior's voice.
"Weiss, I promise everything will be fine and I highly doubt your dad will be that angry."
"Ugh... I just don't know. I'm scared."
There was silence.
"It's a good thing I haven't drank in weeks. I already made an appointment."
"I'll do whatever it takes to makes things work for us. I already have a ton of money stored back for a house. I'll do whatever it takes for you and our baby."
Ruby gasped silently. She sat on the floor by her best friend's door waiting. Weiss never mentioned it...
"Junior, Daddy will probably let you stay here. I'm fine if we stay here for a while. I want Mother to help out."
"I'm fine with that."
"I want to tell them today."
"We just found out yesterday."
"It's OK. Let me call Mother and you can get something for my stomach. Pretty please."
Silence.
Ruby was gnawing on her finger nails. She couldn't believe it...
The door swung open and Junior took one step forward when he looked down to see Ruby there. He made a face unable to decide how to react to her hearing everything. Ruby's face turned bright red and she looked down at the floor unable to make eye contact with him. She heard Weiss' footsteps.
"What are you staring at-
Weiss stopped and looked down to see her best friend sitting on the floor cowering in fear.
"Ruby, what the hell are you doing?"
"I... um... I forgot. I don't know."
"How much did you hear?"
"Ahhh-
"I think she heard everything."
Ruby covered her face with her hands, "I came to see if you felt better because I heard you puking this morning and I wanted to make sure you were ok."
Weiss sat down beside of her and shooed her boyfriend away.
"See ya ladies later."
They sat in silence for about ten minutes with both of their minds racing. Weiss finally laid her head on Ruby's shoulder and held her hand. It calmed Ruby down and she managed to smile.
"I wasn't spying..."
"It's ok... I was planning on telling you today anyways."
"Are you excited?" Ruby asked.
"Scared. Junior is super thrilled. When I told him, he started crying."
Ruby laughed, "That makes things better."
"It does. I'm glad he's so sure. Most men would've ran the first chance they got."
"Yea."
"I was scared though. More scared about how you would feel?" Weiss admitted.
"You thought I would be mad?"
"Well yea... I gave you shit for going to college and leaving me behind. Then... I ended up pregnant."
Ruby laughed, "You know I could never be mad at you."
They laughed together and became quiet again sitting there.

Ruby closed the door behind her and locked it. She didn't hear anyone in the apartment so she figured Junior was at work and Roman was out. She started to walk by the kitchen and she stopped. She swallowed hard and saw who was sitting there.
She had coffee cup sitting on the table and a silver and green hand gun on her legs which were propped up onto the table. Ruby turned slowly afraid to make any sudden moves. Emerald picked up her cup and sipped from it slowly.
"So Red... I have a problem I need to discuss with you."
Oh my god. This can't be happening.
Cardfighter By Maple- I'm glad you're that excited! It made me excited to write them getting back together!
Azure dagon king- thank you! I try hard to make it natural as possible.
I wasn't sure what the best way for Ruby and Roman to get back together then it came to me... Why doesn't he try and react the first they met? How romantic is that?
Then I ruin it with an angry Emerald lol
