Chapter One

Sizzzzz.

Weiss flinched her hand back as a spit of hot oil splashed onto her hand, having escaped from the fry breakfast the Schnee was making and gently burning her knuckle. It was a Sunday, and it was Weiss' turn to cook. She'd left her Ruby asleep this morning, allowing the Rose to catch up on her missing slumber. It had been a challenge to escape the game of twister that their limbs were playing, but Weiss' had perfected the art of escaping the bed in the morning without being noticed. She had debated even getting up to begin with, as she had been comfy beneath the warm duvet and in Ruby's arms, but alas, Ruby would be cranky if she didn't have her Sunday fry.

A loud thump followed by a colourful curse from upstairs proved that Ruby had finally woken up. Weiss looked up at the ceiling for a moment, watching as gathered dust fell from it. She shook her head, a smile appearing on her features. Ruby must've gotten caught in the blankets again, Weiss thought, serving their breakfast onto the awaiting plates. Not a moment later, she could hear the sound of heavy footsteps coming down the stairs, looking back to the kitchen door as Ruby appeared, her hair a tangled mess and a drowsy look on her face. Weiss smiled, leaving the red clad woman's breakfast buffet on the table.

"Mmhmmorning…" Ruby moaned, collapsing into her chair with a tired yawn. Weiss found the seat next to her, pulling her white hair back into a messy bun to avoid dipping it in food. She sat back into the wooden frame, relaxing.

"How did you sle-" Weiss asked, looking up to address her wife, only to be met to Ruby shoving an entire pancake into her mouth. She scowled, "For goodness sake Ruby! Chew your food!"

The rose looked up from her attempts, tearing what she had in her mouth away from the left over piece and gulping it down like she hadn't eaten in years. She took a breath of satisfaction, before looking back across at her wife, wiping some of the maple syrup that dripped down her chin, "Ahh, sorry, what did you say?"

Weiss continued to glare for a second, before sighing heavily and starting to butter the toast in her hand, "I asked how you slept."

"Oh! Pretty good!" Ruby chomped down on a sausage, wincing as her teeth bit the fork beneath them, "How about you?"

"I slept well, that was until someone kicked me in their sleep," she said with a growl, causing her wife to look up with an innocent look that made Weiss' heart flutter in her chest. Ruby rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, a nervous chuckle escaping her as she stood up with her dirty plate. She made her way over to Weiss, planting a neat kiss on the pale girls forehead.

"Oh, I'm sorry hon. I'll wrap my legs around yours a little tighter next time, 'kay?" She said with a teasing smirk, taking Weiss' empty plate from beneath her and heading over to the sink with a groan. Her energy suddenly vanished as she was met with the pile of dirty dishes from the night before, "Ugh, dishes."

Weiss huffed slightly, standing up from the table and wandering over to Ruby, wrapping her arms around her partner's waist, "You deserve it for kicking me."

"Weiss~! That's not fair!" Ruby pouted as Weiss chuckled, resting her chin on Ruby's shoulder as she began to clean the mess of dishes that sank in her sink.

She watched for a moment, a frown of thought crossing her lips as her thoughts drifted away from her. She blew Ruby's hair out of her face, making Ruby laugh as it tickled her neck. The reaper brushes it over her ear, giving Weiss a clear view over her shoulder and into the garden. It was a generous sized garden, something they didn't really need. It was really only the two of them, save for the exceptions when Yang and Blake would come over for a visit. It came in handy when they were training, or practicing team attacks, but Ruby and Weiss were both introverts. If they went anywhere, it was together, and if they went anywhere, it definitely wasn't their back garden. It was a shame it went unused. It would make a great place for a child to play around with, maybe with a dog.

Ruby moved her shoulder slightly, breaking Weiss from her thoughts with a start. She looked back at Ruby, half expecting her to say something annoying to her about staring. Instead, she found Ruby had simply reached for a plate and had forgotten Weiss was there.

"Sorry Weiss-y," She said in a cheery tone. Weiss hummed, settling back into Ruby's neck, taking in her comfortable warmth with a smile.

"What do you think about kids?" she asked quietly, thinking out loud. Ruby hesitated for a moment, looking across at her wife with a dumbfounded expression.

"Where did that come from?"

"I just want to know."

"Well, what about them?"

"About us having potentially having one?" Weiss asked again, letting go of Ruby's waist as the turned to face the silver haired woman. She couldn't quite judge the look on Ruby's face, but hers was crystal clear. They had been married for almost a year now, and the house was quiet, and lonely when Ruby went on missions without her. Ruby tilted her head.

"I'd love a kid, but, how does that work? We're both girls, we can't exactly… y'know?" Ruby made a gesture with her fingers in a sex movement. Weiss felt her face heat up in embarrassment.

"I know that you dolt!" She burst, swatting Ruby's gestures away with her hand. Ruby laughed at her wife's reaction, bringing her hands down to rest on the countertop behind her so that she could limit their movements. Weiss took a breath, calming down her flustered outbreaks that threatened to burst free.

"We can always adopt, but there's a...procedure that's recently been made publically available," Weiss explained, meeting Ruby's confused look. She decided to continue, "In simple terms, you take specific genes from you, implant them into a… blank sperm, and then I get a procedure to have it placed in me."

Ruby nodded along, "That sounds interesting, but…"

Weiss cocked an eyebrow, "But?"

"Are you sure that you'd want to carry the baby? I don't want you to feel like you need to- or to feel sick, or in pain, or- or-"

"Ruby," Weiss caught Ruby's hands, which had lifted from the marble top and began to buzz nervously around in the air, "I've thought long and hard about this. I would be up for it, without a second thought. Besides, you can hardly stand still, nevermind be gentle with yourself for 9 months."

Ruby smiled at Weiss words, however it quickly faded away, another gentle frown coming to her face, "Are you sure?"

Weiss nodded, bringing her hands beneath them and tightening her grip, "100%."

Ruby's eyes widened like saucers, an excited glow filling her eyes, "Oh my god we're having a baby!"

Later that day, the Whiterose duo had decided to go and see Weiss' special GP for more information. It was a doctor hired through the Schnee Dust Company, because surprisingly, Whitley actually cared for his older sisters. She was thankful, even more so now considering what they were going in for.

Ruby shifted annoyingly in the waiting room, seemingly unable to sit still on her waiting chair. They were the only ones there, which wasn't surprising. The doctor Weiss had requested was also a scientist, whose fees were almost triple their house mortgage. Anyone who requested to see him usually had to be pretty well off in order to pay for the expenses. Thankfully, the Schnee Dust Company was one of the richest companies in the world, and Whiteley wasn't nearly as bad as her father. The eldest Schnee had cut off all communications with Weiss the second they had gotten married. He didn't approve of Ruby in the slightest, saying that she was a rough rat and wasn't deserving of the Schnee name. Weiss had agreed, and then promptly told him that she wouldn't be getting the family name, instead Weiss was ditching it for Rose. The look on his face had been satisfying for the ex-heiress to see as she turned and left her childhood home for the last time.

Weiss gently settled her hand on Ruby's shoulder, stopping her aggressive bouncing up and down on the leather chair. Ruby slowed gently at her touch, however still continued to bounce gently in pure excitement. She couldn't wait to tell Yang and Blake, and her father, or Qrow! How would Qrow react? Yang would be an auntie, and Yang would definitely be helping because she had experience. And Blake- wait, would Blake be an uncle? Or an aunt? But, there couldn't be two aunts, right? Well, maybe… They could always share the title. Auntie Bumblebee, or something. Ruby slowed down some more as she debated her thoughts, her face twisting into a confused one.

"What's wrong with you?" Weiss asked, cocking an eyebrow as she noticed Ruby's changed expression. Ruby looked up at her wife, having realised she had been caught daydreaming again.

"Oh- uh- I was just trying to figure out who'd be the aunt, Yang or Blake?"

Weiss sighed, rubbing between her eyes in irritation, "They'd both be Aunts Ruby. They're both female-"

"Yeah, okay, but! There has to be an Uncle! So who would it be? Jaune?"

"We are not having Jaune as our kid's uncle."

"Why not!?" Ruby whined, "Jaune's great with kids! He had seven sisters!"

"Jaune was the youngest, remember?" Weiss explained. Ruby's shoulders dropped slightly as she realised that Weiss was right, her open mouth closing into a contemplating frown.

"Ms and Ms Rose?" A voice chimed, a round face appearing in the doorframe. The duo looked up from their conversation as Doctor Foley poked his head through the gap in the open door, a clipboard grasped in his hands. Weiss stood up with a gentle smile, while Ruby practically sprung from her seat. The man was a cat faunus, however he looked like nothing like one. The only feline trait was the long whiskers that grew from his face, however it blended in with his mustache, so to a stranger, you wouldn't tell the difference. He had a stout figure, being about Weiss' height from when she was in Beacon, and round glasses that covered his small eyes. He smiled sweetly, turning and letting the two women free from the Waiting Room, "Right this way."

The two followed the stout man into one of the rooms, pointing to a bed, "Please, sit.". Ruby anxiously looked around the surgery. The walls were lined with medical posters, showing a range from something with a spine to ankle sprains and how to treat them. The man also had a bone structure of a hand on his desk beside his computer monitor, which Ruby hoped wasn't real. He opened up a file up onto the screen, a gentle smile crossing his face as he read the request. He looked back to Weiss and Ruby, removing his small glasses and wiping them with a cloth.

"So you want to have a baby?" He asked. The pair nodded in response, exchanging a brief glance at each other. The man hummed, placing his glasses back onto his face. He turned away from his desk, now sitting before the lesbian couple.

"I see," he commented, glancing back at the opened file on the computer screen beside him, "And you want to do so by IVG treatment, yes?"

Weiss could feel Ruby's confused stare looking at her, "Yes, and as soon as possible please."

Doctor Foley nodded, leaning back into his chair and folding his arms together, "I see. Well, you're in luck. Due to the fact that I was one of the original scientists on the project, I have a selection of pre-blank sperm cells ready for use, which means, if we can get a sample from your partner, we can perhaps have it implanted before you leave."

"That'd be great. If I may ask, does this procedure take many attempts? I'm aware that other treatments are not always successful on the first attempt," Weiss asked. The stout man nodded, tracing along one of his whiskers that grew from his face.

"Don't worry, the IVG process usually only takes one attempt as it is planted manually, and as long as the sample we collect from your wife is viable," he explained, "If the first attempt does fail, we can always try again next month when your cycle begins again."

"How do they take a sample?" Ruby whispered quietly to Weiss. Weiss felt a nervous sweat roll down her neck.

"Well, uh…"

…

The two emerged just over an hour later, with Weiss anxiously watching and holding her stomach. Beside her, Ruby threw her hands up into the air, "I feel violated!"

Weiss winced at the outburst, looking over with an irritated glare, "You're not the only one who had to do it, y'know." Ruby looked back over at Weiss at her comment, her eyes drifting down to her wife's stomach, where her pale hand still sat. Ruby frowned softly, looking up to Weiss with a caring look. She moved an inch closer, brushing off her shoulder.

"How does it feel?" Ruby asked softly, reaching up and grasping Weiss' cold hand in her warm one and squeezing. The silver haired rose squeezed back, a nervous smile on her face.

"It...feels strange. It's not painful though, if you were worried," Weiss replied, looking back over to Ruby with a gentle look on her face. The procedure hadn't been long. Once Ruby had finally come out of the room, Weiss didn't have to wait long before it was her turn. She had been pleasantly surprised when she was met with a female nurse instead. She hadn't been all for having the procedure done with a returned a look of relief, a gentle sigh escaping her lips as her eyes returned to the path ahead of them.

"I totally was not worried."

"Whatever you say. You just wished you could do it yourself," Weiss hummed back, nudging Ruby in the ribs playfully. Ruby yelped, rubbing the prodded spot and whining. They giggled with each other, beginning to make their walk back towards home.
