Spending her day enjoying long meetings with her agent was not how Pyrrha wanted to spend her break. She quietly sighed while her agent explained the various offers she'd received for the summer, and what possible shooting schedules she could have. It was intense: she knew that her Vytal performance would lead to a "new world of career opportunities" as her agent, Chardonnay Riesling, explained it to her, but seeing it all at once was something else.

She did like Chardonnay, really, she did. She was a great agent, and Pyrrha trusted that she did have her best interests in mind, which mattered a lot. But it was hard not to see her as the face of her old life, where everything was about living up to the sky-high expectations of all her admirers. Looking at the different calendars laid before her, all she could think about was how they'd make her summer just like every other summer. Every week would be an array of photoshoots and interviews, a summer of slipping back into her role as The Invincible Girl, which might as well be called The Friendless Girl, The Lonely Girl. Jaune had his family in Vale, Velvet would be with CFVY, taking a summer in the field. Even Nora and Ren were spending the summer working for an orphanage in Vale. And even if they didn't have anything else, would they really want to be stuck following behind her, putting up with her schedule and all the gossips that flocked to her photoshoots?

Oblivious to her crisis, Chardonnay kept talking. "… as a lesser issue, Pumpkin Pete's is looking to renew their sponsorship, but I think-"

"I'll do it!"

Chardonnay gave her a surprised look, but Pyrrha couldn't not continue her relationship with them. They were how Jaune first recognized her, on the day of initiation. Every other company and brand was just busywork to her, but Pumpkin Pete's was special. It would always be meaningful to her. And so Chardonnay, still surprised, but perhaps, moreso by Pyrrha's sudden interest, scheduled a meeting for her with the Pumpkin Pete's reps.

"Alright, I suppose if you have a personal connection..." then she chuckled, "Do you have any idea how hard I've been looking for a sponsorship deal that you would be enthusiastic about, and it turns out, it's Pumpkin Pete's?"

Pyrrha stammered a hasty response, but Chardonnay cut her off.

"It's a boy, isn't it?"

Pyrrha blanched, eyes wide, as Chardonnay mouthed bingo. "It's- it's not like," panic surged in her breast, "Y-you're not mad, are you?"

"No, not at all!" she protested, suddenly shifting from business mode as her eyes sparkled and her smile became warm and caring. "Honestly, Pyrrha… I'm happy for you. And… he is cute."

Pyrrha's eyes, somehow, grew wider, to which Chardonnay laughed. "It's your team leader, right? I saw the way you looked at him as soon as you finished the Championship, and I immediately realized that there was something-"

"Does anyone else know?" Pyrrha sputtered in a panic. But Chardonnay, smiling, shook her head and told Pyrrha to take a few deep breaths. The breathing helped, like it always did, but Pyrrha couldn't help but feel terrified as all the world of celebrity now was looming over the most private and cherished part of her life. How would the press take it when she had a boyfriend—how would her fans?

But Chardonnay was one step ahead of her. "I'd actually like to have an opportunity to speak with him and you together when you get a chance, to give him a heads up about the celebrity life and so the two of you don't find yourself in hot water with the paparazzi or your fanclubs without some preparation. Though," and her smile turned teasing, "I kept expecting you to kiss him at the Vytal, and I was all ready to roll out the story for that."

"I'm sorry I… didn't give you the story you were hoping for," Pyrrha teased back, "but I'll talk with Jaune and see about setting up a threeway ca- a regular call!" she overcorrected in a panic.

Fortunately, if Chardonnay noticed the slip-up, she was diplomatic enough to not push it. And Pyrrha was grateful for that—whatever Jaune and Blake might say about her appetite for adding new girls to the relationship, she knew not to get her agent involved in their escapades.

With her personal and professional matters addressed, though, the meeting came to a close. Chardonnay gave one last go-over for her summer calendar and let her know that she'd forward her the sponsorship contracts for her signatures. And… she said that she was proud of her accomplishments and hoped Pyrrha was proud of them too. Which was really nice.

But as she slipped from the building, that upbeat note seemed to dissipate. She glanced around the crowded plaza, wondering if there was anything worth doing in town other than heading home for the night and hoping she could chat with some of her Beacon friends on her scroll. In Argus, she was just a celebrity, and as nice as it was to talk with Chardonnay as a person, outside her office, she was returning to that role after being so much a part of the Beacon community. It was a really lonely feeling.

Except, of course, she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her. Reflexes almost kicked in, then stalled for some reason, something familiar about these—Velvet! "Surprise!" she cried out, "I knew you were going back home for break, so I decided I'd spend mine visiting my cousin in Argus and hanging out with you!"

"Velvet!" she replied, returning the hug, "Oh, I'm so happy to see you. I- I-" she had to stifle the tears, "I was really… feeling like I was going to miss all of you."

Velvet suddenly looked nervous."You don't have anything planned, right? I- I really thought the surprise was a good idea, but if you've got a whole-"

Pyrrha waved off her concerns. "No, no, not at all. I was just about to head home, but if there's anything you'd like to do in town, I'd love to spend as much of this trip with you as I can."

But as they were talking, a blonde woman approached the two of them. "Hey, I'm sorry, but… aren't you Pyrrha Nikos?" Pyrrha felt her smile wither on the inside, but she kept up appearances as she smiled, nodded, and started to rattle off her script, but this time, she was surprised to be cut off. "Oh, I'm not a fan. Oh! I mean, I am, huge fan—I- I mean, we're in Mistral, so, duh, everyone's a- I mean—but it's, um, well, I think you know my brother?"

What? What did she- and then it clicked. The blondeness was there. The social awkwardness, tempered by a bold willingness to reach out to a stranger, was there. There was an undeniable resemblance in her face and personality. It all added up. "You must be Saphron!"

She was taken aback to hear her name. "You know me?"

"Well, um, not exactly, but, um, your brother talks about his family a lot. I remembered, Jaune has one sister who lives outside Vale, but he never mentioned that you lived in Argus!"

She laughed. "It's so like him to not let you know. Oh, and I'm sorry, you are?" she asked, reaching a hand towards Velvet.

"We're friends!" Velvet blurted out. "With Jaune, I mean. Um, I mean, I've Velvet. And- I'm friends with Pyrrha! We're friends. Just friends!"

Smooth. Pyrrha had to suppress a giggle.

Saphron seemed to be in the same place. "Um… okay? But it's very nice to meet you. I just about died when I heard that my brother was your partner, and my wife," she laughed, "Oh, she is going to flip when she hears that I met you—actually… would you be interested in joining us for dinner? I'd love to tell you all sorts of embarrassing stories about Jaune, and you can meet his nephew!"

Pyrrha was sold on the chance to just have something to do tonight, and the idea of hearing childhood Jaune stories with Velvet just sweetened the deal. But all that on top of a chance to meet and, even more importantly, get adorable photos of his baby nephew? Pyrrha was all in for all of that!


It was a very nice house. Jaune's sister had evidently done well for herself in Argus, and Velvet was very excited to get to know Jaune's sister better. Ever since talking to Jaune in Vale about meeting his family, Velvet had been very excited to actually meet one of them. A little too excited—she was really glad she was going with Pyrrha, because Velvet had already needed to be talked down from one panic.

Standing at their door, she took a moment to brace herself. She'd already met Jaune's sister, and she hadn't gotten too flustered! She certainly hadn't made a sterling impression of herself as a cool, calm, and collected Huntress-in-Training, but she hadn't done the worst job of it. She could do this! She had Pyrrha, and she could-

And then the door opened, and Velvet's heartbeat amped up. Because 1) it wasn't Saphron who opened the door, and 2) she had an adorable baby in her arms.

Fortunately, the other woman, Terra, if Velvet remembered correctly, seemed absolutely starstruck to see The Invincible Girl right outside her door. And with the two of them too stunned to really say anything, and the baby being unable to take the initiative, Pyrrha stepped up, as she always did. "Hello!" she cheerfully waved, "Thank you so much for inviting us to your home! Is this Adrian?"

"Y-yeah," stammered Terra, and seeing that Terra was just as nervous as she was made Velvet feel a whole lot better, "I… honestly wasn't sure if Saphron was pulling a prank on me..." she muttered, but then she brightened, "Welcome! Thank you so much for coming, we're so happy to have you over for dinner—I hope you like hot pot!"

She led them into the house, which Pyrrha and Velvet were quick to give appreciative compliments to. And it was a nice house—surprisingly large for two parents and a baby, but she wondered if Jaune's sister wanted Adrian to have a big family like she grew up with. As they entered the kitchen, where Saphron was putting the last touches on for dinner.

She turned with a big smile, "Pyrrha! Velvet! I'm so glad you could make it- Ter, could you help me with the table?"

"Sure!" she cheerfully responded, "Let me just put Adrian back to-"

As she turned, Adrian suddenly reached out towards Velvet, evidently not wanting to be taken away from the new people. Seeing the squirming little tyke clumsily reaching out to grasp at her ears made Velvet's heart melt. "Aww, I think he likes you!" Terra cooed, "Would you like to hold him?"

Would she?

She eagerly stretched her arms out, and Terra placed the little guy into her hands. Holding him just like she'd been taught to carry her little cousins and nieces and nephews (yes, she'd heard the stereotypes, but the Scarlatinas were a big family) and Adrian almost immediately got comfortable, yawned, and started to snooze, much to Terra and Saphron's impressed admiration. But holding a sleeping baby in her arms, all Velvet could think of was how right it felt.

Which was a bit of a problem.

Velvet had recently discussed her future with Ms. Goodwitch and her team, and her dream was to become a Field Response Huntress, a roaming specialist who dealt with particularly dangerous Grimm. This summer, Team CFVY would be doing some fieldwork just like that, to get a feel for how it agreed with them, but Coco already seemed so excited at the thought of keeping the team together after graduation. And Velvet was excited for it too, the chance to prove herself as an exceptional Huntress, a Faunus role model, and, yeah, she also liked the way it'd give her a chance to cut loose with Anesidora.

But there was another part of Velvet, the part that was practically singing with joy that she had a child in her arms, and that part longed for a different life. A life with Pyrrha and Jaune, a domestic life where she was the homemaker for their little family. She'd be the one to raise the kids, not just her own, but Pyrrha's and perhaps… the others' as well. She'd idly daydreamed what a little Belladonna-Arc kitten would look like, or a little Schnee-Arc princess, or, and she would sooner die than admit it to anyone, the cutest little baby outfits on a little Adel-Arc.

How could they be reconciled? The stay-at-home mom and the badass Huntress, locked in a struggle that sleepy little Adrian was very much tipping the scales on.

Ah, how could she fret right now? She could smell good food, she had an adorable baby in her arms, and she was about to learn all sorts of embarrassing stories about her boyfriend! Velvet gently rocked Adrian and let her heart melt all over again as he gave an appreciative coo in her arms.


Velvet giggled as she and Pyrrha walked up the path to Pyrrha's house.

It had been a delightful meal: Terra was just a fun person, Saphron was so much like her brother, though she denied it, and little Adrian might just be the cutest little thing Velvet had seen all year. Saphron was as talented as Jaune was, though, she insisted that she was much better than her brother. There was apparently a contentious family rivalry over who was the best cook, and Pyrrha had diplomatically deflected the question when Saphron asked their opinion. Velvet was of the opinion that they'd need to have many more samples before they could make a judgment!

They had slipped back to Pyrrha's home after the dinner. Obviously, it was to fool around, Pyrrha's parents were… well, Velvet didn't want to ask, but the fact that they were "at work" instead of home for the first night of their daughter's return painted a very clear, very sad picture for Velvet. Looking at Pyrrha's childhood bedroom, which Velvet had hoped would be a cute opportunity, proved to be not so much, with its surprisingly stark walls.

She had wondered if, maybe, Pyrrha or her parents had just packed it down when she went off to school, but instead, the room seemed like it hadn't been touched in months. Pyrrha's Beacon acceptance letter was still open on her desk.

Pyrrha seemed to notice Velvet's attention. "Yeah, it's…" she gave a weak smile, "I never really, um, decorated much."

"I… figured you'd have all your trophies on display somewhere."

Pyrrha looked away. "My parents... " she sighed, "I could show you the case if you want, but..."

"You don't have to," she ventured, sympathetically. "I'm sorry. I kinda just… wanted to get a peek of what your life was like before… you know, we were..."

"Lovers?" she asked, and Velvet dearly appreciated the levity. But Pyrrha continued. "Well, um, before Beacon, I…" she blinked away a few tears as Velvet gave her hand a sympathetic squeeze, "I didn't have many friends. Or any friends, really. I just… trained. A lot. And I really enjoyed fighting, but… I guess I didn't have much of a life outside of it."

She pulled her girlfriend into a hug. She didn't have anything to say, so she just held onto her until Pyrrha gave her a pat and let her back off from her.

"Though I have to say," Pyrrha added, wryly, "Saphron and Jaune, they're so obviously siblings."

Velvet, happy for the chance to lighten the mood, immediately chimed in. "I know, right! She even does the little head bob thing he does when he's embarrassed!" Then she shot Pyrrha a sly grin, "Honestly… was wondering if you were about to pull something…"

"Velvet!" she gave a scandalized gasp, "I'm not going to seduce Jaune's sister!"

Velvet gave her a skeptical look, and Pyrrha gave her a playful shove. "Come on," she laughed, "I'm not some sex-crazed nympho who-"

"Oh?" Velvet shot back, "And we came back to your place so you could…?"

But Pyrrha seemed to see an opening here. "Oh? Because it seemed to me that someone was in the mood, and I get the feeling there's something you've been wanting to try, bunnygirl!"

Put on the spot, Velvet locked up. How was she always able to know when she had a kinky idea! "I, um, well, seeing, um, well…"

She placed an arm around her little bunny. "It's okay, Velvet."

She blushed. "Seeing Adrian being all little and cute, just… I really just wanted, you know, one of my own," but then she gave Pyrrha a sly smile, the kind to suggest that she wasn't just talking about this emotionally. She had Jaune for those needs. She turned to Pyrrha for something else.

Pyrrha picked up her meaning immediately. "So… you're thinking about kids, huh? With Jaune? You want him to breed you, hmm? Is that it? Bend you over like some farm animal and knock you up?" Velvet moaned uncontrollably at the thought. She had been thinking about it, she'd been thinking about it a lot, and as her girlfriend slipped a finger into Velvet's shorts, those thoughts seemed to pulse with erotic energy. "I bet you're thinking about how you'll look with big, milky tits." She was! Oh, she was! Jaune would give her lots and lots of babies and her tits would get so big and swollen just as her belly did.

"Gods yes!" she shuddered with pleasure at the thought, "I want Jaune to knock me up! I want everyone to know that I'm his slutty bunny when I get all sexy and pregnant!"

Pyrrha giggled, "Well, that gives me a rather naughty idea… did you bring Anesidora, darling?"

Velvet looked at her quizzically, then cracked as wicked smile as she realized what Pyrrha wanted. Taking up her sometimes-weapon, sometimes-toybox she flipped it to a recent toy she'd photographed, and passed it to Pyrrha, who activated it as a strapon.

While she was doing that, Velvet swiftly disrobed before getting on all fours on Pyrrha's bed—wondering if her normally-stoic and formerly-repressed lover ever thought she'd be doing this in her bed—and wiggled her butt invitingly.

"~Oh Jaune~" she gave her voice a sing-song trill, "I'm so horny and wet for you… don't you wanna breed your bunny?"

With an amusingly gruff imitation of Jaune's voice, Pyrrha replied, "Oh? Does my slutty little rabbit want me to fill her with a whole litter of kits?"

Gods, she was already turned on from the pregnancy talk, now she was gushing from the thought of Jaune treating her like she was little more than an animal! She and Blake had done some fun games around a Faunus fetish, but the thought of Jaune breeding her like livestock… mmmmm, she had to do this with Jaune for real soon! I-if she could admit to him that she wanted to be a mommy, of course!

The sudden impression of something hard pressing against her wet pussy brought her immediately out of her thoughts. And then… with almost no resistance thanks to her arousal, Pyrrha slowly slid into her, making Velvet moan as every inch came in. As Pyrrha took her from behind, Velvet imagined it was her Knight's cock filling her up, those strong, rhythmic thrusts being his familiar, forceful lovemaking. Velvet had never gone this far with Jaune alone, but that just made everything feel so much naughtier! She mewled as she gripped the sheets of Pyrrha's bed, feeling the fabric rub against her cheek as Jaune passionately took her.

"D-do it, Jaune! B-breed me! Breed your bunny! Make me a mommy!"

"Is that what you want? To be my sexy little homemaker, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?"

"Yes!" she squealed, "Yes! "

"What about your dreams of being a Huntress?"

She didn't even hesitate. "I don't care! I just want your cock! I want to feel your babies in me, to be your personal breeding-bitch!"

"Don't you think," Jaune cruelly started fucking her even harder, "the other girls are going to let you be the first to bear my children?"

"They aren't here!" she cheered, "It's just us, and I don't care if I'm being selfish! You're going to knock them all up, anyways!"

Jaune laughed. "Oh? Is that what you want? To have all of my women pregnant together?"

"Yah!" she panted, "Knock us all up! Make your whole harem carry your babies! Make P-Pyrrha and Blake and—oh gods!—Weiss and Yang and- and- and Coco! Fuck her and put a f-fucking baby in her!"

Finally admitting her perverse desire to see Jaune fuck and impregnate her girlfriend brought Velvet over the edge. Her eyes rolled up, and a low moan quickly became a scream as Jaune brought her to a crashing orgasm. Slumping forward, she attempted to mumble her thanks, but her mind was far too disorganized to do much more than wordlessly babble.

As Jaune withdrew—and Velvet reminded herself that she had only been pretending to take her lover's cock—she panted into the sheets as Pyrrha gently spooned her. She had such a sweet and loving girlfriend, and Velvet was so glad that she had so much love in her life—from Pyrrha and Jaune and Coco and Blake and everyone.

As she came back to her senses, she took a moment to catch her breath, looked to Pyrrha, and said, "Thank you."

To which Pyrrha just gave her a big grin and replied, "You too—that was really hot."

But then she turned serious. "Hey… we don't have to talk about this now, but do you… wanna talk about what you want… long term? I know we were just roleplaying, but you seemed-"

"I..." she hesitated, not sure what to say. So she just hoped for the best and decided to keep talking. "I don't know. I really want to be a Huntress, but seeing Adrian… I want to be a mother, but more, I want to take care of kids. Mine and," she blushed furiously, "yours and all of ours. I want to be the stay at home mom who bakes cookies, and I want to be the badass Huntress with her team in the wilds, and I don't know how to make them all work out!"

But Pyrrha, kind, patient, understanding, wonderful Pyrrha, just listened and gave her a gentle smile. "You know… I had a feeling that was what you were thinking, especially with your summer plans. And…" Velvet felt her ears perk up, eager to hear Pyrrha advise her on this, "You know, you can do both? A field Huntress has a lot of down time—you raise the kids while you're off mission, and then we can rotate who's taking the lead while you're in the field. I don't want to be uninvolved in our kids' lives, and you just know Jaune's going to go all in on being a dad."

Velvet couldn't help but smile at the thought of Jaune chasing after a pack of rugrats, but… "Are you… okay with that?" she asked, nervously, "Running a joint family like this… it's going to be a lot of work and a lot of-"

"Velvet," Pyrrha gently cut her off, "you're not just Jaune's 'other girlfriend.' All three of us are in a relationship together, and that means whatever family we make together, we're making it together. And I wouldn't want it any other way."

Velvet realized that tears were welling in her eyes, and she felt so grateful for her wonderful, beloved Pyrrha. She missed Jaune, and wished he could be with them right now, but Pyrrha made her feel complete, even with the most important man in their life missing. But on that note...

"I hope Jaune's not missing us too much," she tittered.

"He's at his conference with all the other team leaders. They're probably having a good time."

Velvet giggled, "Right now, he's probably giving Ruby what you just gave me..."

But Pyrrha didn't find it so funny as she sighed. "I just… I hope they're okay. Jaune's so sweet, but he really has no idea that she's into him."

"Should we… message him? Let him know what Ruby's thinking?"

"Mmmm..." Pyrrha pondered it for a moment, "It's frustrating, isn't it? Part of me doesn't want to step on Ruby's attempt to speak her own feelings, and the other part of me knows that she's putting so much effort into getting him to notice and I just... I've meant to try and talk with her, but I just… never know what to say."

Velvet gave her girlfriend a reassuring pat on the back. "I mean… I was really shy about my feelings for you and Jaune, and I don't think I ever would have acted on them. And I know Ruby probably wants some grand fairy tale confession, but, sometimes, life just isn't a fairytale. And she'd be much happier if we helped her than let her stay lovelorn on the sides."

With that, Pyrrha smiled, and Velvet felt like a very happy rabbit. "Yeah… after break, let's go talk to Ruby. I think she'll be happy to know someone's encouraging her feelings, especially if the conference was a bust for telling Jaune."

That was a good plan, and Velvet was happy that they were talking about it. She felt for her shy friend, and, if their places were reversed, she would have wanted Ruby to help her. It was awkward, and it had certainly come up in the group chat enough, but Yang wasn't sure how to tell her sister she was sleeping with the boy she had a crush on, and both Blake and Weiss felt guilty that they hadn't told her sooner—and now it felt like they were excluding her. So they were sitting in an endless indecision that was only getting worse the more they delayed. But they'd act on it once they got back to Beacon, and, even if it would be a rough, awkward conversation, at least they wouldn't let it get worse.

And maybe Velvet was a little bit excited for Jaune to bed the entirety of Team RWBY.


Ruby took a deep breath.

The plan had worked so far. She kept reminding herself of that. She'd gotten this far, and that was the hard part. She'd managed to change their room arrangement and managed to trick Jaune into thinking it had been a scheduling error that their room only had the one bed. And he, perfect gentleman he was, volunteered to sleep on the floor, which told her that he was none the wiser about her plan, even as she was at the cusp of victory.

But all that only got her almost there. It was that last bit, the piece de resistance, that really mattered. And it was driving her crazy. She had consulted with Penny, they had talked out every little detail, and she knew they had developed a foolproof plan. If Jaune likes Pyrrha, she thought, adjusting the tiara on her head, I can be Pyrrha.

She tried to make a seductive pose on the bed, but it felt… weird. Penny had assured her that she matched the pose of similar photos with nearly 90% accuracy, but, well, this was something outside of Penny's wheelhouse. Outside of hers, too, but not quite as much as the robot girl. She stretched herself across the bed, and-

No. It wasn't enough. It wasn't good enough, she wasn't good enough to-

No. She bit her lip and balled up her fists. She couldn't give in to panic. Not now. Not when everything was in place. She just had to focus. Adjusting herself on the bed, she grabbed her scroll and went to her most secure, most heavily-passworded-Yang-not-allowed folder and scrolled through the photos she'd stolen from Jaune's scroll. He didn't know she had these. He couldn't know she had these. Even Penny, who had been part of every step of this plan, didn't know she had these.

They were a set of seductive photos Pyrrha had sent to Jaune, who was so obviously her boyfriend. Nothing unclothed, but still—a lot of skin and even someone as inexperienced as Ruby could get a very clear sense of what Pyrrha wanted from him. And that told her what Jaune wanted. So she had studied them well. Every curve, every pose, every come-hither look—she'd memorized them all, obsessively. She had to. She had to do this perfectly, or it would all be for naught.

She glanced at her bag, knowing that it still contained a small box with two emerald-green colored contacts in it. Penny had suggested them, but… it was tough on her. She wanted him to gaze lovingly, the way she knew he looked at Pyrrha, into her silver eyes. But she'd already talked this out with Penny. If she wanted Jaune, she knew she had to make compromises. It wasn't just to win his affections, but to make it possible at all. Jaune was such a sweet, kind man. He would never be disloyal, which was why she loved him. But this way, it wasn't really cheating. He was just… sleeping with Pyrrha in a different way.

She'd thought out all the angles.

She knew she was going to win.

She just had to hold on and make that last step.

Thanks to Renarde for feedback!

Chardonnay Riesling is my new OC and self-insert. I will not explain how.

But yeah, wanted to give some attention to the "main girls" of the story and show some of Pyrrha's loneliness and Velvet's kinkiness in a chapter about Jaune where the man himself doesn't make an (actual) appearance! Also, while I regret not showing more of Penny and Ruby's adorably incompetent attempts at planning a seduction, I think I've delayed enough when it comes to Ruby. But things will soon be reaching their climax: you'll get to see Ruby execute her plan, and you'll see lives "tangled up in Branwens" in my next chapter: Her Mother's Daughter.
