First, I'm not dead but all of us lapsed authors say this. It has been two years since I last posted here

Life goes on I've lost friends and relatives. yes it affects you even if you say it does not

I have been writing just not posting. so I have several stories soon to tale.

so this missive is in the same universe as One Last Bet

There is a time skip and the WhiteRose couple is comfortably ensconced in their manor

Supplied by the Kingdom of Vale

First Time

The sound was deafening, color blazing on the video screen as her scroll screamed yet another PR (Public Relations) masterpiece.


"This is one more of the record books! Team RWBY has once more set an example for all Huntsmen to follow - in just one hunt, the four newly Beacon-graduated Huntresses have put down seven-hundred and eighty-three Grimm in this forty-eight-hour mission on the plains of Vacuo. Crushing the previous record of five hundred and twenty-seven has stood for sixty years set by Team CLER…"

The reporter goes on, listing the team members with snapshots and bios. Photos of the women flashed along before being overlaid with their first official team photo. It had been taken back during their first week at Beacon Academy with four students in their school uniform.

Three of the team members standing together with arms over their heads tilting to the left and the last spaced to the right looking uninvolved in fact a bit distracted and pissed... her arm barely raised.

"Centerpiece of Team RWBY is none other than Weiss Rose nee' Schnee and her team-leader wife, Ruby Rose. These huntresses graduated from Beacon Academy finishing first and third in class and fellow teammates Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, a feline Faunus, their entire team finishing in the top ten from Beacon Academy.

They say the credit goes to their educational staff and the support from the SDC for both logistics and dust supplies. Weiss Rose is said to next take the reins of the Schnee Dust Company as CEO. The Team RWBY was instrumental in the last war and won almost all of the medals for valor that could be awarded including The Kingdom Star and an Empire Starburst and 13 wound citations…"


The damn thing just kept going. How little I care about a news report- I looked up, once more reading the damn test results... the eggs failed to seat, another failure- at least three more months before we could try again. The technology seemed so fail-proof, there were success stories everywhere.

But why not me? Did I not deserve it? Was it not my right? My privilege to bear a child? Her child, Ruby's offspring? The perfect Rose. More than a year has passed- eighteen months in fact, but why am I still barren? But all through it, Ruby has been my rock, my anchor. I shut the video screen off.

Father is, no doubt, informed- he is always informed because he's expecting a white-haired, silver-eyed grandchild. Preferably, (at least) 1 boy, then at the end of 5 years he'll expect there to be two heirs born! That time is swiftly closing and I'd prefer not to disappoint him.

Father's glance during the board meeting was the only reaction I received. At the end of the meeting, as I turned to leave, I heard my name called "Weiss... "

Turning toward his voice "Yes Papa ?"

"I need to ask you …."

"No father it did not take, we will try again... three months ..." my voice nearly a screech, His hands touching my shoulders, the coolness of his aura coating me. I looked up because father was never this tender…

"Weiss, I simply wanted to know how your wife, Ruby, is doing. And I like it when you call me papa, you never call me papa anymore, maybe you can when we are home?"

I gave my father something I had denied him for at least seven years - my true smile

"Ruby is on a hunt and should be home tonight, she even said she will come in the back entrance to spare the floor, carpet, and security."

Whatever happened between my wife and father must have been intense and deeply personal. We all thought that it was a simple negotiation but with his minor adjustments, I realized that there were deep changes only I and perhaps Winter could see. 'Ruby what are you to change my life and its destiny; how did I get so lucky to find you?'

Perhaps you tripping that first day on...over me was destiny's way of smiling on me finally.

That evening I awaited my truth. How do I tell her three more months, for another operation and more weeks of waiting before they can try again? Dinner was to be at 7:30-and father was coming home early. I paced the floor waiting for the alarms to go off as Ruby would constantly ignore the front gate procedure. Father entered the room and looked truly bewildered as only I stood there.

"Papa?"

He actually smiled, not sure I would get used to that.

"Weiss, perhaps she is just delayed."

Suddenly Piquancy appeared, crisp and sharp in his butler's livery. Respectfully, he bore a tray that had a scroll and pager on it, both screaming for attention "Madam, your communication devices seem to be requesting your utmost attention."

It had become the rule in the house 'mealtime was device free, no phones, scrolls, tablets, pagers, computers, laptops, nothing'

I hesitated.

Staring at the devices, my father broke the stalemate.

"Weiss, this one time, please, go ahead.

A sudden debate loomed in my head, my scroll only had a few contacts that would dare call at this hour, and the pager was carried by all huntsmen, no matter whether active and retired. I had to decide, I chose my scroll - four missed messages: three from my wife and one from Yang.

The first was Ruby saying she was almost done with the mission, the second message saying she would be a little late. The last was Ruby saying she loved me deeply and not to wait up that there was a delay.

I turned to my father telling him something was very wrong, I replayed the last message from Ruby.

'My dearest wife, Weiss, please do not wait up for me. I love you very deeply and to my last breath, we have had a fun-filled life and love to spite the ages, remember that always' and then static.

"Papa, Ruby never is overly romantic on the scroll."

"Weiss, dear, it should be fine. I'll make a call..."

Weiss silently nodding listening to the last message from Yang "Weiss, is Ruby there? She is not at her hunt site. I called, but it is going to voicemail. Please tell me you have her, PLEASE!"

Grabbing the pager looking at it in a panic- it was an #calling all hunters-emergency #

These were calls asking for all free hunters to respond to a set of coordinates. Only headmasters, huntsmen council, senior huntsmen, and an exceptional few can make such calls.

Looking at the origin number, my heart stopped. It was a high numbered one I recognized in an instant.

"Father, I need the manta -Ruby is in trouble." holding the pager out toward him as if he would know the number meant 'Trouble/Ruby'

"yes yes yes," was all he could say.

Grabbing my scroll calling out "call Team RWBY!"

I could hear three distinctive ring tones, the first to voicemail, the second answered almost immediately Yang's voice harsh and raw, nearly in tears "Yes, what do you want?"

"Load up! Ruby's in trouble! I'm on my way, ten minutes. "

" Hello?" the third scroll answered " Blake, Ruby's in trouble! She needs us. Ten minutes-I'm getting Yang- be ready" glyphing over I placed a kiss on my father's cheek before dashing away to the dock, pausing only to grab my blade, Myrtenaster.

As I left the room I heard a soft sigh and an even softer "take care."

The family Manta was spinning up when I reached it. Without a second thought, I was climbing aboard, ordering it aloft. Onboard were two others I hadn't expected: Dr. Golden and Nurse Zinnoberrot.

"What?"

"Your father asked us to board in case you needed medical attention."

"Thank you, doctor," moving to the window seat staring into the darkness, I began chewing my nails.

As the cockpit door opened I glanced up at Mr. Connors, the long-suffering Schnee family pilot. Calling out "Beacon docks."

The short flight brought us to the rebuilt docks. The ghost remains still not cleared following the war. On the deck, several people stood all huntsman by the look of things.

Looking around, there was no Yang or Blake. I descended the ramp, looking over the crowd, I could hear them talking about the call.

They looked over me skeptically, I hadn't bothered to change. My dress long and snow blue had just enough of a split up the thigh. Unfortunately, the halter edged in black lace with the heart-shaped decolletage only accentuated my appearance.

A young Hunter addressed me as I peered around.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please hurry? We need the dock, a fellow hunter is in deep trouble and we are waiting on transportation to get to them"

"Really?"I echoed holding aloft my pager " then I guess you'll be needing a lift." The look on his face was priceless, it was at this point the screaming sounds of a yellow and black sound machine made its presence known.

"Yang, move your ass."

" Freeze it, ice bitch. That's my sister! "

"And that's my wife. Where is Blake?"

"On her way " Popping open her scroll she checked the team's aura levels " Less than a minute" she confirmed.

On cue, Blake appeared as a shadow on the ramp of the bullhead merely a step from the door. I crossed to her.

Blake looked up at Weiss "you're early."

"You're late," I snapped back to my sister.

Looking back outside I examined the hunters "Who's supposed to get you guys? "

"The council is sending a bullhead," the nearest replied.

"Really" I drawled "and of course they're late."

"Maybe just busy I guess. It was a hunter summons."

"Just get on board and let's go, we're wasting time. "

"But," someone sputtered...

"No buts. That's my wife that triggered the summon."

"Your wife? So you're Weiss Schnee?"

"Nope." I was a bit chagrined, popping my 'p's was a bad habit I'd picked up from my dolt of a wife.

"No?"

"The name is Weiss Rose - now get your asses onboard or get out of my way."

As I moved inside I ordered the pilot to begin liftoff. All of the hunters scrambled aboard when Blake's scroll rang out

"Rose," she answered

The looks of bewilderment flashed across the faces of the other hunters and a badass smirk sprouted on Yang's

"Mrs. Rose. Teams CFVY, CDRL, and JNPR are en route. Also, there are some hunters at the dock-"

"We have them with us already. What do we know?"

"Ruby is in the town of Fair Haven on a solo hunt. Just a reported small Beowulf pack, she signaled she had at least two hundred in the pack, as well as Ursi and Deathstalkers.

Our reports were way off, she said she could hold for at least four hours. Please make haste."

"Thanks, Oz."

The other hunter team's heads were on a swivel taking in the volley conversation.

"Weiss?" looking over she could see my eyes closed, after four years Blake could see it coming to the whisper leading to the flash of glacial freeze.

"Wenn ich meine Hände auf meine Frau bekommen werde ich die Tölpel zu erwürgen"

The temperature in the cabin dropped just as quickly. Maybe twenty degrees maybe more. I didn't care as the occupants shivered.

An excessively warm hand rubbing my shoulder drew me from my cold demeanor.

"Here… go change, " Yang ordered, handing me a bag. I resisted and she urged me to the restroom with a gentle nudge. Shuffling I made my way to the lavatory

Sitting in the restroom, I wanted to see no one. Opening my scroll, I just listened to Ruby's last message over and over tears flowing till I had none.

Suddenly a sharp rap woke me "it's time, Weiss" I had fallen asleep.

One of the hunters came up nodding to both Yang and Blake as they sat side by side "I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Martin, Annatto Martin, Marlin Roseate, Myrtle Bank, Olive Virtruv. we are Team Ammo, this is Claret Ley, Florid Victoza, and Maroon Valley three-quarters of Team CMFR (camphor)"

Grabbing Myrtenaster, I went to the side door- already open and from one hundred forty feet up, I dropped a single glyph to step off.

'That sack of red better be here and slice.'

The howls of Grimm gave me a direction. Fire and Shadow followed me to the ground. There I could hear the whip of the wind, the whirl of the blade.

My baby was still alive!

There beyond the tattered red cloak, Ruby was favoring her left leg. Over her uniform blood was smeared along her right arm and her scared right eye was inflamed.

"Nehmen Sie diese Sie hoffnungslos Lesben"

Tossing her a heavy clip of dust ammo, I moved closer taking my blade. With a laugh, she caught the present and slammed it into Rosie. A loud sound and Ruby had reloaded and out for Ursa.

She'd even used the special rounds on her belt - save one. Her last option, so I knew she'd been planning on coming home


In Fair Haven, the SDC (Schneee Dust Corporation) provided transport for three hunter teams

SDC camping gear all you ever need, mountains rivers swamp or shore Gear so strong even a Faunus can use

Hunter teams rescue count from Fair Haven is seventy-four souls as of this morning.

(

1 teenager and 2 young boys have been rescued by Team RWBY; other Teams involved were Teams CFVY, JNPR, CRDL, AMMO, and CMFR. What was supposed to be a small pack turned out to over 300 Grimm! The cause of the migration is unknown and currently under investigation. All of the hunters returned safely.

In an interview, Yang Rose has corrected this reporter that the teenager was doing fine holding off the Grimms until Team RWBY arrived. This teenaged girl has the makings of a great huntress! High praise coming from a Team RWBY member.


The fight had been long. It had taken six teams nearly five hours to clear Fair Haven. When it was done, Huntmaster Ruby Rose gave the 'all clear. '

She was on her scroll making her call to Vale Huntsmen Guild headquarters.

"Master Ozpin, Senior Hunter Rose- the mission to Fair Haven is complete. Hunter Call #248-313-989-RR is complete and closed: no hunter casualties." This went on for another twenty minutes, perhaps I'm glad I was not made team leader. Weiss thought.

Now, Ruby is a Senior Huntsman and also a section leader as well.

The youngest ever in history. Then my lovely wife started on pay sheets and bonuses, my wife working as a manager and paymaster: two things I never imagined her doing.

The look of determination was only countered by her the tip of her tongue pushing out at the corner of her mouth to me making her all the more captivating

Ruby was safe and well, to tell the truth, and her injuries from that mission were next to nothing. (aura healing). yet another reason why she was given the responsibility of being able to make summons code.

Resting on the family manta, heading home, I knew I had to tell her about the latest failed attempt to get pregnant.

My tears building up were seeking to release the tension from the failure and rescue were coming to bloom.

"Weiss Weiss " the voice awaking me from my own internal monologue "Weiss are you alright, are you hurt?"

[hurt yes I'm hurting just let me tell you] " Ummm, no, I'm fine. why? "

"Well you are bleeding " voiced my reaper." your skirt is bloody honey, are you sure?' "YES damn it. I'm fine" looking down seeing the fresh crimson stain on my skirt, on a lot of my skirt. Growling "must be something I sat in. Don't worry. I'll be fine," storming off to the restroom once more muttering way under my breath "stupid girl parts."

Feeling like a massive wave crashing upon the rocky shore. Such a let down as the ovulation gives me a high increasing the appeal to people and the clock ticking wanting to be pregnant before the lining of your womb sloughs off for the month. Then the cycle of cramping starts its fully 360-degree cramping: my back, my side, hips, and gut. All the muscles are clenching together to help empty my womb. So all the other organs in the area get scrunched too. OH, Joy! I'm tender and bloated, I feel like all the water in my body wants to make you the shore for all the rushing waves.

ON TOP of feeling all squished and pressed inside, but having to act like I'm NOT in ANY PAIN WHATSOEVER! I have to work at the same thing I have been doing, Same PACE, smiling at the same jokes and the same meetings, and be me.

Moreover, I want to scratch someone's eyes out so they can feel my suffering also. I don't have patience with people who act stupid, act like fools. My words are quick and biting. Once again I'm the queen. I am ice I can shoot down hopes and can shatter dreams quicker than a King Taijitu

And the sanitary needs do not get me started, I will not think of it, just be it known I maintain a complete set of wardrobe at the office, car and bullhead aaarrrgggggggdust.

But worse of all it means twelve fewer eggs, one less child, one less chance to give joy to my wife, the center of my universe.

The next couple of weeks went well, the Vale office of SDC was running at peak, Ruby had arranged a mentorship and sponsorship of one Peridot Plantagenet. First to Signal Academy then hopefully to Beacon Academy. The Faunus we rescued from the '300 Grimm fight' had become quite the capable student.

I was feeling on top of the world, all my pains and anger at bay. Everything is going right. I could tolerate even the most disagreeable people for getting my orders wrong. Mistakes could be overlooked because I feel so magnanimous. Even to Cardin, Jaune, and my sister Yang. And sexual attraction is almost animal magnetism. It feels good. Like an energy welling up in my core.

The stage in-between when you don't know what is happening, but you feel different…. Not quite with it. My flush and blush were heightened. My body felt ready for the next step.

I remember me crying while flying to see you? What was I crying over? I don't even remember. No friends or family were in the hospital. There were no accidents or illnesses or breakups. It could have been someone who spoke harshly to me. And that was all that was needed to set me in a blubbering mess. It was this I had hidden away in my icy demeanor - my simple, thoughtless, emotionless reactions that I was told, was the true form of female weakness. It was this that my Ruby, my wife, my heart, brought out and made it a strength that I could wield.

It was about two weeks past the Fair Haven fight and I had a big dinner planned for my wife. We started with a short visit with my sister Roses. This way we could include them, then dump them. I wanted her for myself, she was the angel never losing faith the next time it would take.

We were both drunk out of our minds, I asked her to come to bed with me.

In a burst of semblance, we were reclined on the rose petal-covered emperor bed.

When I laid down beside her, I noticed all of her clothes were off. She leaned close to me, she looked so good.

"Are you horny?" I whispered in her ear.

She asked what I wanted.

'I want your touch in me now, right now. Stroke me, penetrate me, fuck me. Please." I begged.

Drawing my panties to the side. She eased her fingers across my lips sliding them into my tight hole - a moan was all I could produce.

"Did I hurt you?" She asked. I shook my head.

"It feels incredible. Now Fuck Me."

A gentle touch and then coolness

So she began thrusting her fingers in and out, the folds slowly moistening

I moaned and screamed. "Am I making you feel good, baby?" I moaned. "Yessss, keep going, harder. Ahhhhhhh" I screamed out. She sucked on my neck. I slid my hand up her thigh and between her dewy lips... She screamed as my fingers touched her clit. She moaned loudly as I rubbed her clit. She was soaking wet. Her fingers were quivering inside of me. She pulled them almost out, then slammed them back in, she kept going faster and harder. We were both moaning and squirming all over each other. Then I rolled onto her and spread her legs wide. She slid her fingers out of me. I raised her leg onto my shoulder and I pushed my pussy down onto her wet cunt. We started humping, rubbing our wetness all over each other. I was screaming out, she was moaning. "It's so amazing. It feels so fucking good. I want your pussy forever. Fuck me, baby. Fuuuuuck me." There were tears in her eyes as she moaned those words. "Let's never stop, never," I said as I rubbed myself against her faster.

"I want to taste you," she said with that she shoved me backward and spread my legs wide.

She went straight to it. Sucking my clit. Fast and hard. My whole body jolted off the bed. She pushed my hips down and kept going, the feeling was electric. The shock traveling down from my breasts through my thighs muscles clenching then the darkness descended. The smile on my face etched down to the bone.

Vale News Network Update:

Yang Rose challenged another City Official

Because she claimed he was getting too big for his britches

And if he didn't like all the blood and gore it took to defeat Grimms

Then he can do it himself!

TEAM RWBY to help answer phone lines for a local charity on Saturday.

Team RWBY answers phones for United Kingdom Orphanages, They are expected to open and close the event. More inside. _

Three weeks passed. three happy blissful weeks, then the upset started. it was a surprise, never am I sick, but here I am.

So, once more I feel sick, I can't keep it down sick, and yet nothing in my stomach, the fourth time this week feels like I'm dieting without trying. Perhaps time to invest in cracker futures. Well, it is time for another round of IVF. The doctor will set it straight and I'll have some answers.

Ok, that was a thing the doctor was sure... the nurse was sure... the test was sure... only... I'm not sure. How did this happen? there was not any way this is possible? How do I tell Ruby? my Papa? What would I tell Yang? I was pregnant, but not from the IVF treatment. The professionals were looking for an answer- any answer- DUST !

I need more than an answer, I need a miracle!

"Ok, so yes, I'm pregnant. That is why I've been getting sick, making up for the teasing vomit boy all those years."

"Weiss ummmm I thought you said the implant failed."

" It did. I had to toss those skirts from that last hunt you know blooded all the way through. I had my period," Ruby stood rubbing her chin deep in thought slowly wandering "Weiss are you sure?"

"Yes, the doctor took tests, three of them in fact."

"So how did it happen?"

"He does not know" Ruby looked shocked, her mind not catching the gears just spinning she was just confused, needing air she stepped outside. Yang rose, her eyes turning red, nostrils flaring out voice now screaming

"You're what! How is that possible? How could you not know, what did you do Weiss ... lose faith? Who was he, what an arrogant self-centered horrid ice bitch? You miserable long-eared slack assed motherfucker you lying no good lying cheating bitch with shit for brains. take a long flying fuck off your ugly pockmarked face while you suck eggs through a straw. You godfucking shitheaded poo-eating bigheaded goddessforesaken mop-haired chronicle dust addicted tetanus suffering monkey assed cocksucking hepatitis infected gangrene infested pimple assed bug-eyed cokewhore cunt! "

With that Yang swung her backhand connected with my right cheek. Spun around I fell, my mind unable to connect. On my knees, the second blow fell Completely defenseless. I knew it would be over quickly. Looking up I saw the red blaze of a Grimm's eye and die ewigen Flammen der Hölle.

Blake was reaching back for the Shroud but we knew it would be too late to save my life.

The cloud of dust, the dust, the heat, the flames, and spiraling red debris marked the end of my life. There was no pain but the heat- I was a good daughter and wife. Why was it this hot in the afterlife?

There were voices and my angel had the voice of my wife

But the voices were raised in anger and hatred

"Yang Xiao Long Rose …..Yang stop...leave her be. She is my wife and my issue, you will not interfere or so help me, or I'll cut you off and out "

"But she cheated on you. I told her what would happen if she hurt you." Yang looked down - Ruby was there, her hands crossed in front of her body intercepting Yang's semblance-fueled strike. Yang's face fell; her intent on hurting Weiss; she instead struck her sister Ruby.

"That remains to be seen"

"Blake get your wife and take her out of here before I throw her out and Yang ...I love you truly but do not come back before I call you, please " the last bit spoken in Ruby's loving tone. I was alive and my wife, she protected me. I stretched out my arm to her and she flinched away. Her arm at an odd angle, possibly broken

"Ruby I ….."

"No Weiss I need time to think, to process." and then only empty space remained.

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?


Team RWBY let a Vampire live.

Is it a dark secret why they let this vampire live?

Is he their love child and they, as parents, wish to save him from death?

Next week on Inquiring MINDS….
