"Damn, that's a nice place you got here vomit boy."

"Language Xiao Long." Sienna hissed and covered the sleepy baby's ears.

The Arc manor wasn't exactly big the grounds were about eight thousand square feet but it came with being three stories and mostly made from stone, some places made of wood that had a more modern look to it but was clear no one wanted to make renovations. They were at Jaune's home, and for the longest time since Sienna realized her pregnancy, safety was right there. Home is where the heart is, and she intended to make a den here. She still had some serious scars from that night, Aura was an amazing thing but when healing big wounds fast it often led to some scarring along the incision lines.

The twin doors flew opened and the youngest sister, Alice Sienna recalled, came running out.

"Yay! You're here!"

"Alice!" Jaune dropped to one knee and stretched his arms out to receive the little girl but she ran past him in favor of reaching Sienna.

"Is that him!? Oh, let me see, let me SEE!"

Alice was just short of the necessary height needed to get a good view of the bundle housing Ozma and bounced up and down in an attempt to get a good view.

"Alice!" The stern voice came from the family matriarch Juniper as she stepped through the doorway. "You shouldn't be nagging a woman who gave birth barely a day ago."

"Sorry." Alice dropped from an excited puppy to a kicked one.

Sienna lowered herself and reignited her excitement.

"Oh, he's so cute!" She squealed. "Look at his little ears!"

Ozma's eyes opened with a yawn and he looked towards the strange girl with an indifferent gaze. Sienna could almost imagine him asking 'Who are you and why should I care?'.

"Jaune!" Another girl waved towards them, a baby cuddled in her arms.

"Hey, Saph." Jaune waved back.


They all gathered in the living room with Sienna getting swarmed with Ozma in her arms. Nora, upon seeing the collection of girls swarming around Ozma, asserted that she was already the Godmother and wasn't about to give it away. Ruby and Yang cooed at Adrian for a bit. Ren remained passive.

His mother sat next to him and smiled. "Look at you, getting married and starting a family." She sighed warmly "They do grow up so fast."

"Where's Kate and Ginger." He asked.

"They had work to do, both of them knew you were coming but they don't have vacation day to drop off work, even for this." His mother replied.

Jaune nodded in understanding, he'd worked for a bit to fund his plan of getting into Beacon. The local places weren't regulated the same way as the cities and never liked excuses from anyone.

"So who's the scruffy-looking man in the corner with the little boy?" She pointed to Qrow who isolated himself from the meeting in the living room doorway.

"He's just a friend we meant sometime ago and is going to stay for a bit and the kid is Oscar he's with Qrow."

"Is that his son?" She sounded worried.

"No, he's but I figure Oscar is Qrow's responsibility right now."

Qrow pulled out his flash and took several gulps, not an unusual sight but is had Juniper staring at him funny.

"He's fine mom, seriously." Jaune assured.

Juniper turned to him. "If you say so... what's this." She ran a finger over a scar on the side of his neck.

"It's nothing, just took a bad some time ago, it healed all the way."

"How long...?" She looked over him and found another right on the opposite end from the first with more scaring.

"It's fine, it ended up going through but was gone fast and it's not hard to swallow anything."

"Something went through your neck?"

"It was a long time ago, technically... look don't worry about it." Jaune waved it off as Juniper scowled.

"This could've killed you Jaune."

"A fall off Beacon cliff could have killed me but it didn't."

She gasped. "You fell off Beacon cliff?"

"I'm fine okay." Jaune assured even as his mother continued to scowl at his passive behavior towards his injuries.

"I probably shouldn't mention I got stabbed in the leg."

"Is dad here yet?" Jaune asked, eager to change the subject.

Juniper pursed her lips but answered regardless. "He's still dealing with the council, Sienna is still a wanted criminal and many people want her held accountable for the laws she broke and the people she had attacked."

Jaune sighed. "Right, guess we shouldn't think it's all over because of Haven."

"Best not to leave the house until we have this all sorted out."

While not being able to leave was understandable for Jaune it would be counterproductive to what he was trying to do. Finding a nice place was difficult when they weren't allowed to leave. Add that to no dad for who knows how long...

"I need to talk with Saphron."


Sienna sat down as most of Jaune's sisters assembled around her in a manner that mirrored her first meeting with his mother and sisters, albeit with a few additions.

"So did it take one pillaging of your hidden valley or was there some serious effort involved?"

"Linzy, there are kids here." Saphron scolded.

"Come on, me and Michelle aren't babies, we know how this works!" May argued.

"Maybe so but Alice and Adrian are still here."

"What do guys mean?" Alice asked.

Saphron raised her toddler. "Adrian, this is your cousin."

Adrian giggled at the sight of Ozma, finally, there was someone in the family who was not ginormous to him anymore.

Ozma looked back interested by Adrian but mostly bored at the crowd formed around him and turned his gaze to Sienna's breasts with an expecting look.

"Alright greedy little guy that's what I'm here for." Sienna joked, Ozma spent most of his time thus far either sleeping or feeding, nothing was garnering much attention from him.

Jaune decided to butt in at that time. "Hey Saph, can I talk with you for a moment, alone?"

"Sure."


"So what's up?"

"Alright so, how did you and your wife meet?" Jaune asked bluntly. "What did you do before you guys got married?"

"Huh?"

"Just answer the question, please."

"Dinner at nice places, movies, coming over to her place sometimes, just normal things you'd do when going on a date."

"Can you get specific, it's important."

"Jaune, what is this sudden interest in my love life about?"

"I want to do something nice for Sienna and I don't want to screw anything up." He explained.

"Just do what you did before, actually what did you two do before you got married?"

"Um well, we didn't know each other until we got married."

"Hm?"

"We both got extremely drunk at a bar, got married, then had sex."

Saphron blinked slowly at him, carefully processing what he just said. "Wait...You weren't even old enough to drink, still not old enough to drink how on Remnant did you manage to even buy just one?" She asked incredulously.

"Well," Jaune rubbed his neck embarrassed. "I sort of just gave him some extra Lien..."

"Mom is going to spank your ass red."

"It was only one Saph!"

"Which is one too many for someone of your age young man!"

"What are you mom now?" Jaune sighed. "It was nothing too serious, look can we get back to what we were talking about before?"

Saphron pursed her lips and Jaune had spent enough time with her as a kid to know it wasn't over.

"Okay, so did either of you guys do something after or?"

"Not really, no"

"Honestly looking back at it all I really should have taken her out somewhere. It's what all normal people do but me nor Sienna tried to normalize the situation. The constant laying in bed was nice but was the extent of our relationship, now was the time to fix that and I have no idea what to do and couldn't seem to find anyone who does."

"I want it to be special and not screw it up."

"Well, cook her some stew and light some candles for dinner or something," His sister offered. "I can't speak for you on what exactly you're supposed to do."

Jaune sighed, what did he expect, his father didn't seem to know, Neptune seemed unsure even and that guy was pretty cool. "I can't seem to find anyone how knows what I'm supposed to do."

"Have you really been trying to find a step by step booklet on how to be in a relationship?"

"No, I just want to know what's the best way to show Sienna that I love her, without having to get in a bet."

Saphron facepalmed. "Jaune no one can, everybody has a different experience and no one can just tell you how to have the perfect date and I doubt anyone that has said that even had one either!"

"What do you mean?"

Saphron sighed. "Jaune, unless its the arranged kind, nobody truly knows who they're going to get married and have kids with. I didn't, Terra and I just came across each other in a cafe when our drinks got mixed up and became friends. One day I asked her to dinner and next thing you know we're together and then on getting married. You cannot just walk up to someone who has done it and ask them for a step by step guide on what you're supposed to do." She laid a hand over her heart. "As cliche as this might sound. Love can be a sudden and often weird feeling that makes people fall over themselves stupid. Did you know in middle school someone placed a tax on my chair in some idiotic attempt to get my attention?"

"Pff, what?" Jaune looked at her incredulously.

"Seriously, someone actually that." She nodded. "As I said, people can be stupid when they're in love. My first date with Terra, if you can even call it that, was basically just me and her talking about politics and I don't think we agreed on a single topic." She laughed at the memory. "If you really want me to say something then listen to this, follow your heart and trust where it takes you. Be prepared for awkward setbacks and just show that you love her because you do."

"Where was this advice Dad?" Jaune thought.

"Thanks, Saph I think I've got it."

"It's what us older siblings do," Her gin got wider. "Besides mess with the baby brother that is." She reached out to pinch Jaune's cheek but was quickly swatted away.

"I'm old enough not to fall victim to that again Saphron."

They both laughed and parted, Jaune had some planning to do.
