V.C.: Hello everyone and welcome to another story.
Phoenix: Once again RWBY has returned though this time we shall work in collaboration.
V.C.: The pairing shall be Jaune x Multi.
Phoenix: Well I've said my piece on with the story.
Note-This takes place before the Vytal Festival but after the dance. Also, this story contains time travel, but do not expect it to be super accurate to the many contradicting time travel as even the best of time travel stories get a few things wrong.
Disclaimer: We do not own RWBY. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Jaune Arc, a Father?
Jaune sat back on his bed, a comic firmly held in his grasp as he relaxed. However, this was short lived as Nora came bouncing into the room, Ruby close behind her.
"Hey Jaune!" She all but shouted, causing the blonde knight to fall out of bed and land face first on the floor.
"What?! Can't a guy get some peaceful relaxing time?!"
"Nope."
Jaune, who had gotten up, fell at Ruby and Nora's simultaneous response.
"C'mon Jaune, we need you." Ruby tried to persuade him.
"Plus, it'll be fun!" Nora added, voice full of enthusiasm.
Jaune sighed. "Fine but if this is something stupid I swear to Oum..."
"Yeah, yeah, c'mon." Ruby waved him off while dragging him along. Nora following closely behind them. Eventually stopping in a field in the Emerald Forest that was near a waterfall.
"Why are we here?"
"Nora and I heard Ironwood say something about these falls and time travel." Ruby explained.
"We think that if Ruby runs fast enough she could open a portal in time and fling us into the future." Nora continued.
"So let me get this straight." Jaune looked at them both. "You two crazies dragged me out here because of one of Ironwood's stupid tyraids that led you to believe in a possibility of time travel!" He exclaimed angrily.
"Yup." Ruby nodded.
"Just about." Nora smiled.
"Why?!"
"Cuz we need you, your our anchor." Ruby pulled a rope out of nowhere. "You'll hold onto an end of this and keep us from getting stuck in the time stream."
"Girls." Jaune calmed himself down to try reasoning with them. "Even if you could open a hole in time, think of the consequences! A giant killer robot from an apocalyptic future could come out! Older, evil versions of us from an alternate timeline could destroy us all! Worst of all, we could have kids!"
"Really Jaune? C'mon, only one of those actually has a chance of happening." Nora rolled her eyes at his ramblings. "Now take the rope."
Jaune reluctantly did as told. Ruby tied one end around her waist while Nora tied the other to Jaune's wrist.
With that Ruby began running at the falls. She picked up speed and caused a tornado effect to occur. In the center of this effect, a bluish white portal began to tear open. Suddenly multiple of them tore open at once. Jaune's eyes widened as small figures became visible.
He yanked Ruby away, forcing her to stop running and in turn, closing the portals.
He and Nora ran over to the young huntress in training. "RUBY!" They both pulled her out of the water and held her tight.
"Jaune...? Nora...?" She asked in a daze.
"Jaune, as in Jaune Arc?" A young girl's voice asked.
All three turned back to the small body of water. To the trio's surprise, seven young children, ranging from eight to eleven treading water.
The group quickly went to work getting the kids out of there. "Are you okay?" Jaune asked.
"You didn't answer our question." An eleven year old cat faunus who looked fairly familiar with black hair and amber eyes pointed out.
"Heh, yeah..." He trailed off before remembering the question. "Yeah, I'm Jaune Arc, why?"
His answer came in the form of an eight year old girl with red hair that had blonde highlights and silver eyes and a nine year old blonde haired, green eyed rabbit faunus tackling him.
"DADDY!" They both shouted with glee.
"Daddy?" Ruby asked curiously.
"DADDY!?" Jaune exclaimed in a mix of shock and fear.
The young girls clung to their 'daddy' as if their lives depended on it. "Oh Daddy! It was so scary!" The red haired girl sobbed. "One second Mommy was giving me cookies, the next I'm sucked into a weird circle thing and nearly drowned!"
The rabbit faunus nodded. "Uh-huh, it was scary. Wait a second." She glanced at the red haired girl. "Who are you?"
"I'm Autumn Sapphire Arc, daughter of Jaune and Ruby Arc. Who are you?"
"RUBY ARC?!" Ruby shouted in shock and surprise.
"I'm Vanilla Silva Arc, daughter of Jaune and Velvet Arc."
"Velvet...?" Now Jaune and Ruby were even more confused. Nora, however, understood.
"I get it." She smiled. "These little guys and gals are from different future timelines."
"I think she's right." The black haired cat faunus nodded. "Autumn, Vanilla, come here."
Both girls hesitated before complying. Letting go of Jaune and walking back over to the others. Allowing Jaune to get back to his feet.
"Now then, if what I think is true then you are all of our father. Only in different timelines." The cat faunus explained. "I am Midna Black Belarc. I come from a future where you marry Blake Belladonna."
The next child to speak was a girl who looked to be eleven, with platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes. "I am Angel Aurora Arc, I come from a timeline in which you manage to win Weiss Schnee. Quite literally."
"Ha! I knew I'd win Weiss' heart eventually!" Jaune exclaimed happily. "But, wait, what do you mean by 'literally'?" Jaune asked, his joyful expression changed to one of curiosity.
"Another story for another time." Angel said simply.
Next was a ten year old boy with shoulder length blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Ey Pops." He smirked. "Name's Dao, Dao Yin Xiao Arc, I think you can tell who your wife in that future is." His smirk grew.
Before anyone could comment, a orange haired eight year old boy with blue eyes jumped forward in excitement. "Me next! Me next! My name is Draco Raven Arc, in my timeline you get with Nora Valkyrie!"
"Me?!" Nora asked in surprise and excitement.
"Mommy?" Draco asked hearing and seeing Nora. "MOMMY!" He darted forward tackling his 'mommy' into a bear hug that she gladly returned.
Finally, a boy with dark blonde hair and red eyes nervously stepped forward. "M-my name i-is Topaz Feros Arkos." He said shyly.
Jaune smiled at him before turning his glance to Ruby and Nora. "Well, now what do we do? Do we tell Ozpin or try and send them back ourselves?"
"Trying to send them back ourselves may be too dangerous." Ruby said. "After all, they may end up in a worse timeline and have no way out."
"Father, if I may a suggestion." Midna spoke up.
"Yes Midna?"
"Perhaps this Ozpin would be our best bet, I say we should find him and ask for his help."
"Smart kid." Nora smirked at Jaune, who shook his head.
"Don't look at me, that comes from her mother."
"Speaking of mothers..." Topaz gulped. "C-could we, uh, go see them?"
Jaune glanced at Ruby and Nora. "Well, let's go see Ozpin first, then we'll talk about that."
That seemed to satisfy them. With that the group left to find Professor Ozpin and fix this mess.
Jaune, Ruby, Nora, and the kids managed to reach Ozpin's tower after almost a half hour of walking. However, an issue arose upon their arrival.
"So, uh, how do we get everyone up there?" Midna asked, noticing the height of the giant tower.
"Oh." Jaune paused to think. "Well, I could go in myself and request a private meeting with Ozpin. If we're lucky, he'll agree to see all of us."
"I don't want Daddy to leave." Autumn whined, clutching onto him tightly.
"Uh-oh, I sense a daddy's girl." Nora grinned at Ruby who glared in response. She approached the young girl and pulled a cookie from her pocket.
"Autumn?"
Autumn turned to Ruby and quickly noticed the sugary treat. "Cookies..." Her mouth slightly drooled at the sight of it.
"If you let Jaune go I promise to give you some of these." Ruby smiled, using a trick Qrow used to use on her when she was younger.
Autumn released Jaune and walked over to her mother. Jaune took this opportunity to run inside. Quickly making his way to the reservation desk.
He rung a bell, and a minute later Glynda Goodwitch appeared.
"Mr. Arc." Her stare was harsh and filled with annoyance. "The Headmaster is currently unavailable, so please-."
"It's an emergency, please Ms. Goodwitch, I need to see Ozpin, now." Jaune begged her.
Glynda was about to refuse when the familiar voice of Ozpin spoke up. "Glynda, if the boy truly needs me then I can spare a moment."
She glanced away from Jaune for a moment and sighed. "Very well then, he shall be here momentarily."
"Thank you." Jaune said very gratefully, quickly pulling out his scroll as Glynda walked away. He messaged Ruby telling her to bring everyone in.
As they all entered the building and walked over to Jaune, Ozpin entered from the sliding door. He was about to ask Jaune what was so urgent when he noticed the group of young children.
Ozpin placed his mug down on the desk and took a step closer. "Mr. Arc, who are these children? And why is one attached to Ms. Valkyrie?"
"It's a long story sir. But first, I need to ask, do you know anything about time travel?"
"Well. I do recall James once rambling about a specific waterfall that, at very high speeds, one could tear open a portal on the very fabric of time and space. Why do you ask?" Ozpin's gaze grew suspicious.
Ruby sighed. "He's asking because Nora and I overheard that rant and tested it. These seven are the result."
"And who are they?"
"We sir." Midna spoke up. "Are the children of Jaune Arc from differing timelines. We came here hoping you'd be able to help us get home."
"Perhaps." Ozpin grabbed his cup and took a sip to help him think. "James may know, he and a few friends of mine are upstairs. Give me a moment." He returned a few minutes later with James Ironwood, Qrow Branwen, and Glynda following him.
"Wow, Oz wasn't kiddin'." Qrow said in surprise. "Who's the kid with silver eyes? She reminds me of Ruby."
Ruby laughed nervously. "Umm, Uncle Qrow? That may be because she's my..." Ruby couldn't say it.
"What's wrong Mommy?" Autumn asked in concern.
"Mommy?" Qrow asked in a deceptively calm voice. "Okay, who does ol' Qrow get to kill today?"
"Before you go on a murderous rage, I believe we should help explain a thing or two." Ironwood spoke up.
"Fine, ya get one minute. Then I get to mercilessly slaughter him."
"Well then, in that case I'll make this quick." Ironwood sighed. "In order for us to open the proper portal back to their home timelines we'll need to examine the waterfall."
"Kay, what about us? Ya ain't just gonna throw us to the Beowolves are ya?" Dao asked.
"No." Ironwood shook his head. "You shall stay in your parent's care."
"Yes, Glynda and I shall make the proper accommodations so that Mr. Arc and your mothers can take care of you while your here." Ozpin took another sip of coffee. "Which brings me to my next question, who are your mothers?"
Each of them told Ozpin who their mother was. Qrow glanced at Jaune. "Both of my nieces, eh? Slick, I like it. Too bad I have to kill ya."
"Actually, Qrow." Glynda spoke up. "I'm afraid we can't allow that."
"Fine." He growled in annoyance. Then a smirk came to his face as a thought crossed his mind. "If I can't, then I know Bombshell will."
"Who?" Jaune asked in confusion.
"Yang/Aunt Yang/Ma." Qrow, Ruby, Autumn, and Dao said in unison.
The color drained from Jaune's face. "Oh dear Oum..."
Ozpin grabbed the speaker, glancing at Jaune with slight sympathy. "My apologies Mr. Arc. But this must be done." He cleared his throat and spoke into the PA. "Would Ms. Xiao Long, Schnee, Belladonna, Scarlatina, and Nikkos please report to my office. Thank you."
"Doom is upon me." Jaune sighed as the message was finished.
"Hey, it could be worse." Ruby tried to cheer him up.
"Really, how?" Jaune snapped. "How, how Ruby, could things possibly get any worse?"
"Well..." Ruby paused. "You could have an alien watch stuck to your wrist that gives you superpowers."
Everyone in the room gave her a look. "What?" She asked.
"Where did you even get that idea Ruby?" Jaune asked.
"Hey! If time travel is possible then anything can happen!" Ruby defended herself.
"She has a point." Nora agreed.
Before anyone could say anything else the door opened and the girls of WBY alongside Velvet and Pyrrha entered.
"What's up Oz?" Yang asked, noticing the group of kids. "Uh, who are they?"
"Girls, you may want to steady yourselves for this." Glynda advised.
"Okay...?"
"These are your children."
Pyrrha, Velvet, and Weiss all fainted. Yang stood slack jawed and Blake was wide eyed with shock.
This effect lasted almost five minutes, when Yang and Blake recovered, and Weiss, Pyrrha, and Velvet awoke from their fainting spell, they all wanted answers.
"Children?! How can any of us have children?!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Yes, especially this old." Blake added.
"Well Mother, it's quite simple. When a mother and a father love each other-."
"I know that!" Blake cut Midna off, cheeks ablaze with embarrassment. "But HOW can we have children that are your age?"
"That's where things get complicated." Ozpin interjected. "However, I think Mr. Arc could help explain a thing or two."
All eyes were on Jaune, except Ruby and Nora, who were occupying most of the children.
"Well, Arc? What's goin' on here?" Yang asked glaring at him.
