A/N - Well we're back at it with more fanfiction. What is this one called though? You already read the title, but it's called 'Whatever Goes Up, Must Come Down'

Hah, I decided to continue once more with the whole saga of What Brings us Together and recently completed What May Drift us Apart. For this to make a lot more sense you can go read those 2, though I note it isn't required to be read to understand what's going on.

As some of you might already know, either via my Tumblr (I'm beehaw-spam if you're curious and want to lurk on my account - Just beware of my alt because I have posted spoilers for my fanfiction in general there.) or just talking to me personally, this story will be in Weiss' point of view this time! I have already planned everything out *mostly* because I've been super excited to write this, so hey! Maybe not as many horrible writer's blocks?

Anywho, enjoy it!

Weiss had found life interesting already on its own, but she couldn't even compare that to how chaotic her life had gotten within the past half-year. Weiss had been stressed out from working so much one time, she got very intoxicated at a dinner party and well, Weiss had already concluded she'd done some not okay things. That was already obvious because Weiss was very much so not a virgin. In fact, it was worse. She had gotten pregnant because of it. Then she had a mental breakdown near Christmas and watched as her two best friends almost broke up but then ended up getting married. On top of that she still ran the SDC and had been going on missions before she'd become pregnant.

But today was going to be a little more free-flowing. She was currently sitting in her car about to drive to a dinner to meet up with Neptune since the two had decided to reconnect after they'd ran into each other at Blake and Yang's wedding. Weiss had been extremely nervous about talking to him again, but she knew it could be a good idea. She cranked her car and backed out of the parking lot of the SDC Headquarters and headed down to the restaurant they were meeting up at. While on her way there she jammed out to a few songs on the radio, singing along with the music. Weiss still did sing, which was kind of surprising, but she did sincerely love singing, so she still would sing at concerts if she wanted to, instead of being forced to.

Pulling into the parking lot of the restaurant Weiss flung open the door to her car and stepped out. She grabbed her purse and walked to the front door of the place and stepped inside. She walked up to the line that was for getting seated and noticed Neptune was sitting down waiting for her, not in line. She waved to him as he noticed she was there and stood up and walked over to wait in line with her.

"Hey, Neptune!" Weiss said, hugging Neptune, "It's good to see you."

"Hey, it's good to see you too," Neptune said smiling, "You really want to eat here?"

"Yeah? I come here all the time." Weiss paused for a moment, "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I just thought you wouldn't like seafood." Neptune noted, "Not that I don't like it, just..."

"Neptune, it's water in a contained space in the middle, it's never busted, that glass is too thick to even crack." Weiss sighed and shook her head, "You'll be fine."

"If you say so!" Neptune admitted defeat as the two of them reached the front of the line. A hostess greeted the two of them.

"How many will be eating?" The hostess asked.

"2 please, preferably away from the water tank," Weiss replied, keeping Neptune's fear of water in mind.

"Alright, could you follow me?" The hostess said, grabbing two menus and heading towards the side of the restaurant that was furthest away from the tank of water in the center of the restaurant, where a lot of the fish and other marine life is caught freshly from and cooked for the restaurant. The two of them sat down at a table and the hostess gave them their menus, "Would you like to start with any drinks?"

"A water please if that's all right," Weiss said, Neptune seemed to contemplate for a moment before finally saying his drink.

"I'll start with a lemonade!" Neptune said, to which he turned back to Weiss once the hostess left, "So. How are you and your little one?"

"Good, I think. I don't know, I'm still stressed out about work but at least I don't have to go on missions anymore." Weiss said, "Ruby's visiting me this weekend so that's a thing."

"Oh coolio, you two must be great friends," Neptune said, as the waitress came back and gave them their drinks. Weiss took a sip of her water and sighed. Neptune gave her a worried look, "You alright?"

Weiss stayed silent for a moment, "I just... I'm worried about her."

"Why?" Neptune asked, "She seems happy whenever I run into her on missions."

"She spends a lot of time here, she has nothing better to do now. She can't legally even be a huntress until she's 21. She always told me how excited she was to finally be able to go on missions with me but now, I don't know if I'll be able to as soon as October 31st rolls around." Weiss took another sip of her water as the waitress came back to the table.

"Would either of y'all like appetizers?" She asked.

"Nigri shrimp would be lovely if the shrimp could be cooked can you do that?" Weiss said.

"Mhm! We can use cooked shrimp instead of raw shrimp and for you sir?" The waitress turned to Neptune.

"The same thing she's getting, but my shrimp can be raw." Neptune politely said.

"Alright, I'll be back with your appetizers in a few minutes!" The waitress said, walking off back to the kitchen. Weiss looked over and stared by the door at another table for a moment. The guy sitting beside the door looked oddly familiar to her. She shook her head turning back to Neptune.

"Sorry, thought I recognized someone." Weiss apologized. After a while, the nigri came and Neptune and Weiss, and the two of them had continued talking. Mostly about missions the two of them had recently done, and some gossip the two of them had picked up on. Eventually, their actual dinner came. Weiss had a large bowl of rice while Neptune had gotten fish.

"I would think for someone who hates water, that you would hate fish too," Weiss noted. Neptune just let out a laugh.

"Yeah, I just don't think about where it comes from most of the time, I just enjoy it!" Neptune said, taking a bite out of the fish. Weiss began to eat her rice as well and after a minute a fourth of the bowl was already gone.

"This is good!" Weiss said, continuing to eat the rice.

"I thought you said you came here a lot?" Neptune tilted his head.

"I've never had their rice though, so this is a first!" Weiss said, taking a quick sip of her water once more.

"So... I've been curious, but how did your mom take it when she found out you were pregnant with someone you probably don't even know's child?" Neptune asked. Weiss simply looked away in a bit of a wince.

"Well... I didn't tell her... She didn't find out for a long time. She found out the same time the rest of the world finally found out." Weiss sighed, "She... Called me and she sounded pretty upset. She said I could've told her, and that I would be a horrible mom if I didn't get my communication skills up to check. Though I might as well note... She was kind of drunk..."

"I was at a party and she was there and Whitley had made a reference to how I seemed to have put on a bit of weight to which Winter got mad at him and immediately corrected him, telling him I was pregnant. My mother overheard and she started yelling about it. Let's say it got caught on video... To which lots of media talked about it and the rest is I guess history."

Weiss took another spoonful of rice and swallowed it as she recollected that night.

That night was an annual party for the major companies and organizations for the kingdom of Atlas. Weiss, of course, was there, Winter was there in place of General Ironwood, as he had not shown his face in public for 3 years, and Willow and Whitley had both been invited since they were also both Schnee's.

The family had somewhat better of a relationship now then they had a few years ago, after the arrest of Jacques Schnee back when all the drama with Mantle had happened and caused Ironwood to lose his mind. But Weiss had moved on from that and so had the other Schnee's. Weiss, Winter, and Whitley were all in the middle of a conversation while Willow was off doing her own thing, already heavily wasted, as she still had severe drinking problems.

"Whitley, you seriously should have seen father's face when I pulled my scroll out and exposed what he had been doing! It was honestly priceless!" Weiss had snorted. Whitley had always been curious to what the hell had happened that night so Winter and Weiss were elaborating on the subject.

"Father also had tried to run but Weiss stopped him with one of her summons," Winter noted, Whitley winced at the subject of glyphs. Weiss had recently been made aware that Whitley had not been able to unlock the semblance yet.

"That sounds interesting, but might I add how different everyone is now?" Whitley said, "I mean I'm taller, Weiss has definitely gained some weight, and Winter well... Winter stopped putting her hair up as much!" Whitley proudly said Weiss immediately turned to stare at her little brother.

"Excuse me, what's that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked. Whitley just shrugged.

"Have you not noticed? You look more... How do I put this without it being offensive..." Whitley paused for a moment, staring down at Weiss, "You look like you could be pregnant."

"Whitley, she is." Winter quickly corrected, but immediately came to realize she'd just said something she wasn't supposed to say. Whitley looked up at Winter then back to Weiss.

"Wait..." Whitley took a moment to process the information Winter had just slipped, Weiss noticed their mother coming up to see what the commotion was when Whitley said, "Weiss when the hell did you get pregnant..?" Weiss noticed Willow had walked over to the group and she stayed silent, but Weiss could tell she heard.

"Weiss? What words did your brother just utter?" Willow immediately joined the conversation.

"Erm... Nothing, mother..!" Weiss said Willow didn't accept that fact though.

"No I heard it, the hell do you mean you're PREGNANT!" Willow yelled, obviously not in the right state of mind, but it caught the attention of everyone else in the room, which caused silence, "Weiss Schnee, you didn't even tell your MOTHER about this? I thought we moved past distrust! If you can't even communicate with the family you have now, then hell that unborn child of yours is going to have one hell of a mom, and I thought I was bad myself!"

Weiss stared down at the ground as her face slowly begun to turn red, not only had her brother and mother found out about something she had been wanting to tell them herself. But her mother had just basically told an entire room what was up with her. Winter looked down in rage, most likely at herself from what Weiss could tell as the room stayed silent.

"But, before I get even more angry with you than I already am. Is that even true? Are you even pregnant?" Willow said, putting an accusatory finger in Weiss's face. Winter looked at Willow and moved her finger.

"Mother, get your finger out of her face." Winter sighed angrily. She looked to Weiss who was starting to shake with nervousness, to which Winter took Weiss' hand and squeezed it lightly.

"Alright fine, I admit it... Yes... I am..." Weiss admitted Winter hugged her when she felt tears fill her eyes. Weiss noticed the crowd in the room had stayed silent and shifted towards her and Winter who was still hugging her. Willow stayed silent herself but eventually walked up to be face to face with Weiss.

"Weiss Schnee. As your mother, I guess there is only one thing I can do." Willow slowly came closer and hugged Weiss along with Winter now. Whitley sighed but soon joined the family hug. The crowd around begun to start talking again as the room calmed down. Weiss smiled in relief as she embraced the hug from Winter, Whitley, and Willow.

Back in the present Neptune had already finished his fish, and Weiss had finished her rice. She looked down at her now empty bowl and sighed.

"I think I need to go..." Weiss said, she felt like she wanted to cry again. Winter had apologized for accidentally correcting Whitley, but Weiss was mostly upset about that night in general because she'd been very stressed because of it. Neptune glared at Weiss with worry in his eyes.

"Are you alright? I can walk you to your car if you need to." Neptune said.

"I'll be fine, I just want to go home," Weiss said, standing up and pushing her chair in, the waitress had come over and placed the bill. Before Weiss walked off she paid for the meal with loose cash she had on her. Once she'd done that she walked outside to her car, and once she got inside the car, she began to cry. Lately, she'd become so paranoid about everything she'd been doing, that she'd become very much so a whole lot emotional then she would've normally been. After a few minutes, she yawned, pulling out her scroll to call Winter. The scroll began to dial Winter as Weiss felt more and more tired.

"Hello, Weiss. Did you need something?" Winter said when she picked up.

"Can you drive me home? I'm really tired..." Weiss mumbled.

"Weiss, I can't understand you, you're mumbling again," Winter replied.

"Can you drive me home? I think I'm going to fall asleep." Weiss said, more firmly this time.

"Oh, where are you?" Winter asked.

"That seafood restaurant near the academy," Weiss told.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes. Don't you dare fall asleep on me though." Winter said as she hung up. Weiss just nodded her head lightly as she closed her eyes and waited for Winter to arrive.
