Jaune Arc's Multiverse

by LazerWolf1

Just a normal day at Beacon , when suddenly RWBY as well as most of JNPR and many others are brought to another reality to see different versions of Jaune. What secrets will be revealed, will they learns something about themselves and their friend, and will Jaune get a girlfriend out of this, maybe even a few? You'll just have to find out. Rated M just in case.

15. Chapter 11

Hey guys, here is the next chapter. It is going to be a Yang based chapter, completing team RWBY as a whole. It will be with Arc Family, by Hawkeyes100. I asked Hawkeyes for permission…. Two years ago. God I have a lot of people I would like to apologize to for making them have to wait so long for me to do chapters of their stories. I honestly did not think it would take me this long.

Also it took me a while to post this chapter, I know. It's just that me and PWP are working together on this fic, buuuuut… the two of us have some weird work hours. So it makes it harder.

Anyway, this chapter will be way shorter than the last one, but it will still be very enjoyable. And as this is a Yang chapter, you should expect plenty of puns. So to those who dislike puns, you were warned.

Story: Hawkeyes100's Arc Family

---

Many in the theater were still left somewhat upset and uncomfortable after what they had seen from Jaune's therapy sessions.

"So… we are going to make it up to him, right?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah." Blake nodded with a sad kitty face as her ears drooped. Velvet nodded, with her ears also drooping.

"Of course." Weiss said with a regretful, yet determined look.

"Definitely!" Yang, Coco and Nora said at the same time.

"Without a single doubt." Pyrrha said. Ren gave a small nod.

Just as they were having this chat, everyone heard an adorable little yawn coming from the play pen. They looked and saw that Juliet just woke up.

Ilia felt her heart skip a beat seeing her daughter give the cutest yawn. She ran over to the playpen and picked up her baby. "Did you sleep well sweetie?"

As soon as Juliet finished wiping the sleep from her eyes, she was fully energetic and hugged her mother. "I sweep good mama!" She giggled. She snuggled up to Ilia, making her smile as she sat back down.

Adrian was still wiping his eyes as he woke up as well. Sapheon and Terra went over to him and scooped him up. "Well someone had a nice nap I see." Saphron chuckled.

"Yeah. Now it's time to wake up for your mommies." Terra giggled as they hugged Adrian. Who immediately hugged back.

Chance on the other hand was groaning and trying to stay asleep, like the lazy little baby he was. Glynda chuckled as he went over to him. "Alright Chance, it's time to wake up." She said as she picked him up.

He grumbled as he hid his head in Glynda's chest. "Sweep more mama Gyn…" he grumbled. Glynda blushed from him hiding in her chest.

Mercury grumbled. "Lucky brat…"

Just then, he received a good punch right in the mouth, making him fall on the floor in pain, grasping his bleeding lip, and checking to see if any teeth were broken.

He looked and saw it was Roman who punched him. "For your information, we Torchwick's aren't morning people. But we are mama's boys. So watch it peg legs." He huffed as he sat back down. Salam and June were also glaring at Mercury for calling the little baby a brat.

Neo nodded in agreement. She knew how much of a grump her dumb dumb is in the morning. And how much of a suck up he is for his mom.

Meanwhile, Cici was just playing with her Floppsy who was still working off a hangover. However, while she was doing that, she suddenly just erupted into flames, before just scattering into dust.

Es and Floppsy went wide eyed. The former went into her human form. "MY BABY/CICI!" they shouted in shock with tears forming. No one either noticed or cared the same happened to Cindy in the mirror.

Wolf was just sighing as he picked up a letter that appeared when Cinder disappeared. He began reading it outloud.

To Wolf and Es

I am kidnapping Cinder for a bit. She will be back when you finish this viewing. Take care of Floppsy, and don't let Tai or Yang tell any bad jokes as I don't think Cinder needs to see a drunk magic rabbit when she comes back.

Signed

Adrian

"No promises." Yang and Tai said. Making Floppsy sweat nervously.

However, everyone was then taken aback by the murderous aura of Es, who had forgotten that that is what her husband's personal teleportation looks like. "The next time i see that pendejo idiota, I am going to HANG HIM TO THE CEILING BY HIS FUCKING BALLS!" she shouted.

PS.

Summer inside the hat I gave you are copies of ALL the pics of us as kids.

Hearing this, Summer smiled. She got the hat out, and looked at the pictures in it. She couldn't help but smile seeing them. It made her heart feel all warm and fuzzy.

PSS.

Es, I know you probably forgot what my teleports look like so I got you a few presents. First a dozen red and white roses, second a box of your favorite chocolates, and lastly a gold locket that I had bought for you before I passed. Inside are pictures of our girls.

Es sighed angrily before smiling at the bouquet of roses. "I'll be sure to share the chocolate with Cici when she gets back. And I'm still gonna punish my husband. But he can keep his boys… for now."

When she opens the locket, she sees a picture of Cinder wearing Adrian's hat as a little girl on the left side, and a picture of Amber wearing Adrian's trench coat on the right side. Both girls are 5 years old and smiling at the camera with missing teeth. Salem leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but coo at the girls. She thought they looked so adorable.

PPPS.

I upgraded Adrian's lunch with a PB&J sandwich and sent an infinibox for Juliet with a strawberry jelly and peanut butter sandwich with apple sauce, a strawberry cupcake and a bottle of milk to Ilia's gift box. And a grape jelly and peanut butter sandwich with apple sauce, a sugar cookie, and a bottle of milk for Chance to Glynda's gift box.

After hearing this, the adults mentioned get out the lunchboxes for the kids.

Juliet's tummy was little rumbly, so she pulled on Ilia's sleeve. "Hungy Mama" she said with a cute pout.

Ilia gushed as she got the food out. "Here you go sweetie." she said with a smile. Juliet gave a happy squeal as she happily ate the sandwich. She wiggled her legs happily as she enjoyed the strawberry jelly.

Saphron looked at Adrian. "Do you want some food too sweetie?" Adrian nodded, and Terra gave him his food.

Glynda rubbed Chance's head to wake him up a little. "Are you hungry Chance?" Chance gave a tired grumble before he nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Wolf grumbled a bit about Amp abducting his guests randomly. "Wish he would give a heads up for once."

Es sighed. "I love the idiota, but I swear I am going to neuter him one of these days.

The babies were starting to eat their food. June was cooing at the cute scene. It was just too cute! It was even more adorable when Juliet tried "feeding" Fluffy some of the sandwich by tapping it on the stuffed lion's mouth stitching.

Yang cleared her throat, and in an attempt to lighten the mood. She turned to Wolf. "Soooo… what's the next Lover Boy we get to see?"

Wolf chuckled. "Oh, it's one you, Tai and Raven will enjoy greatly." he said with a massive smirk, confusing them all as to what he could mean. The screen then began to turn on.

Two sets of loud screams had Jaune jumping out of bed grabbing Crocea Mors as he ran down the hall kicking the door open and scanning for any immediate danger. When he couldn't find anything he turned to a little boy and girl hugging each other and whimpering with their eyes closed tight.

Everyone was surprised to see an older looking Jaune, and even more surprised to see two little kids.

Nora gasped excitedly. "IT'S A DADDY JAUNE UNIVERSE!"

Juniper squealed happily. "GRANDBABIES!"

"Hehe, you will never not be excited at this, will you?" Nicholas asked his wife.

"Of course not!" she smiled.

Everyone else however was curious as to who the mother was. Many of the girls were hoping it was them. Though it was hard to tell since both kids were blonde.

Sheathing his sword Jaune knelt down in front of them and rested a hand on their shoulders. When they felt the familiar calloused hands their eyes snapped open and they flung themselves into their fathers embrace. "Daddy! Monster! There's a monster outside the window. It was tapping the glass trying to get in!"

Jaune rubbed their heads softly and walked to the window seeing tree branches hitting the window and casting shadows that looked like claws onto the wall. Unsheathing his sword, he opened the window and cut the aforementioned limbs from the tree with a flick of his wrist. Walking back to the twins he rubbed their heads with a smile on his face.

Yang snickered. "I remember when you were like that sis." she said to Ruby with a smirk.

Ruby had a massive blush. "H-hey! I was not!"

"You so were. I can't count how many nights you ran into my bed every time a tree branch tapped your window, or when it was thundering outside." Yang retorted.

"T-thats… that's because I was… trying to make you feel safe…" Ruby said, trying to come up with an excuse.

Yang chuckled, clearly not fooled. Ruby began to pout. "I don't know sis. Your face is looking a little rosey." Yang punned, causing groans to fill the room.

Tai chuckled. "I don't know Yang. You used to do that before Ruby was born. You used to come running into my room every time you had a nightmare." This made Yang now blush in embarrassment.

"It was just some tree branches, kids. They won't bother you again." Jaune looked down at his children and couldn't help but pick them up into his arms and hug them softly. "Don't worry Pyrrha, William I won't let anything hurt you."

"Pyrrha?" Pyrrha asked.

Weiss then cringed. "I'm… guessing that means it's another universe where you died and Jaune named his daughter after you."

Hearing this made Pyrrha look down sadly. For one it was another universe where she died. But also because she was hoping to finally see a universe where she and Jaune were together.

William was wearing a blue onesie with bunnies on it similar to the ones Jaune wore when he attended Beacon all those years ago, and Pyrrah was dressed in a red onesie with dragon heads on them. Both looked up at their father with teary eyes, William trying to be brave for his sister wiped the tears from his blue eyes and gave a nod to his father. Meanwhile Pyrrah still had tears in her lilac eyes and hugged her brother.

The second everyone saw the daughter's eyes, something clicked in all their heads as one by one, they all went wide eyed. All except Tai, who smirked at his daughter, and had a light chuckle.

Raven on the other hand was shaking. Like all the other times, mama senses were kicking in, and overloading into granny territory. It took all her strength to demand, even beg, for Yang to give her grandbabies with that Arc boy.

Yang however took it harder than everyone else. "No way… there's… just no way." She couldn't believe there was honestly a world where she stole Jaune from her sister. Wait, did that world's Ruby even have feelings for him too? If not then… maybe it's okay… B-but that still didn't change the fact that her Jaune was off the table. Why did a part of her feel… disappointed?

Eve however just glomped her. "YOUR KIDS ARE SO CUTE!" she gushed. The babies of two of her crushes. She couldn't take it. She was in lala land over their adorableness.

Jackie sighed and pulled Eve off Yang. "Ignore her. She is going to be like this for a while…"

William hugged his sister back and led her to his bed where he laid down and covered them both keeping an arm wrapped around her protectively. "Daddy can you sing to us and stay with us while we sleep?" Pyrrah asked, snuggling closer to her brother, although he didn't ask the same Jaune could still see the fear in his son's eyes.

"Of course sweetheart, I'll stay and guard you both as you sleep." Jaune replied. Jaune stood smiling down at his children and began to softly sing.

All the girls cooed at how cute the kids were. They just couldn't get over how adorable they were, and how much of a good father Jaune was.

Yang meanwhile, was just shaking her head. She was mumbling too quietly for anyone to hear. "T-there's no way… Just no way…"

Raven was busy staring wide eyed at her grandbabies. It was becoming harder to stop herself from wanting to cuddle them. June was also smiling at how her grandson is trying to comfort his sister. It was just so sweet.

There's a monster that lives 'neath your bed

There's a creature that lurks behind the door

Adrian perked up hearing this, and began bouncing on Saphron's lap. "Nigh nigh song Mama! Nigh nigh song!"

Saphron and Terra giggled at their little boy getting excited. "That's right Adrian. Night night song." Terra smiled.

Salem and a few of the others looked at them with confused looks. ask "What are you talking about?"

Saphron smiled. "Just watch and listen."

When I leave then he arrives Every night Tell the monster that lives 'neath your bed To go somewhere else instead Or you'll kick him in the head

Tell the creature that lurks behind the door If he knows what's good for him he won't come here no more Cause you'll kick his butt at the count of four

Goodnight demon slayers, goodnight Now it's time to close your tired eyes There are devils to slay and dragons to ride

If they see you coming, hell they better hide Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight my little slayers

Tell the harpies that land on your bedpost That at the count of five you'll roast them alive

Tell the devil it's time you gave him his due He should go back to hell, he should shake in his shoes Cause the mightiest, scariest, creatures are you

Goodnight demon slayers, goodnight Now it's time to close your tired eye

Everyone felt somewhat soothed at Jaune's singing. Though they found the lyrics pretty interesting.

Adrian was just smiling through the whole song.

There's devils to slay and dragons to ride If they see you coming, hell they better hide

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight my little slayers goodnight I won't tell you, there's nothing 'neath your bed I won't sell you, that it's all in your head This world of ours is not as it seems

The monsters are real but they're not in your dreams Learn what you can from the beasts you defeat, you'll need it for some of the people you meet

Goodnight demon slayers, goodnight Now it's time to close your tired eyes There are devils to slay and dragons to ride If they see you coming, hell they better hide

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight my little slayers goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight

Salem thought for a moment. "This actually seems like a song I would likely sing." She spoke.

Weiss then spoke. "It makes it sound like the monsters in their nightmares should fear the kids instead." She said, saying her thoughts on the song.

Saphron and Terra chuckled. "Jaune sang that to Adrian during a visit, and we decided to record it. Now we play it for him before bed." Terra explained.

"He just loves it." Saphron chuckled.

"Nigh nigh song! Nigh nigh song!" Adrian said happily.

Everyone couldn't help but think it was so adorable how much Adrian loved that song. Many of the girls cooed at him.

Jaune kissed both of his children's heads and sat leaning back against the bed with Croacea Mors leaning against his shoulder. He closed his eyes and let his head rest back against the mattress as he whispered. "Goodnight my little slayers, I'll be here to guard you"

Ruby then crossed her arms and pouted. "I wish it were my little slayers he was singing to…" though she couldn't help but smile at her niece and nephew. Well, she could at least be their kick ass aunt.

Blake and Weiss smile at how much of a good father he is, Raven smiles seeing her grandbabies sleeping happily now.

Tai smirked. "I like this kid. I approve of him being my son in law."

Yang had an atomic level blush. "D-DAD?!"

Next Morning

She opened the door and dropped her pack onto the ground letting out a tired sigh as she made her way to her children's bedroom to kiss their heads like always when she or Jaune returned from a mission. Quietly opening the door she was greeted by a familiar sight. William and Pyrrha cuddled together on the bed, William having his arm draped over his sister protectively and her husband sitting on the ground with his weapon standing guard over them.

Yang was blushing hard seeing how much of a loving father Jaune was for their kids. Even just thinking that made her blush. Their kids. It was something she wasn't used to thinking about

Tai chuckled as he looked at his daughter. "You doing okay there Yang?" He asked.

"I-I'm fine!" She answered, feeling really embarrassed, feeling like this in front of everyone.

She quietly walked closer and took a seat on her husband's lap, feeling his arms automatically wrap around her midsection. "Welcome home Yang.'' She smiled and snuggled into her husband's arms more. "It's good to finally be home Jaune, I missed you three." She said.

Yang was blushing so hard, her head was steaming. Just the thought of sitting on someone's lap like that was so embarrassing. Yet she also couldn't help but see how content her counterpart looked having Jaune hold her like that.

"Something catch your interest there, Firecracker?" Qrow asked his niece with a chuckle.

"N-NO!" Yang shouted.

This was not helping how jealous the other girls were.

Raven however was remembering the days she spent with Tai. They were just like that, happily together, as he made her feel safe in his arms. It was honestly one of the things she missed the most after she left.

Jaune gently ran his fingers through her hair, keeping one arm wrapped around her still. "We missed you too. Our home is never complete without you." Yang smiled and thanked the brothers for blessing her with such a wonderful husband. She kissed Jaune softly, loving how his warm arms wrapped around her as he kissed her back.

Yang's eyes went wide as her face was beet red. She wrapped her arms around her hair seeing this. She has never let anyone, not even Ruby, touch her hair. But seeing her just let Jaune touch it? She was flooded with different emotions. Confusion, shock, embarrassment. And maybe a little bit of… happiness?

Ruby however was pouting. "No fair. I never got to touch your hair Yang. How come Jaune gets too?" She always wanted to play with Yang's hair since it looked so shiny and soft.

Tai however just chuckled. "Brings back memories, doesn't it, Rae?"

Raven blushed just as hard as her daughter, while Summer huffed jealousy at being reminded Tai got to play with Raven's hair instead of her. Like mother like daughter for both grown women. "Please stop…" Raven begged, not wanting Summer to get more wound up.

"What? Don't want to be caught in a hairy situation?" Tai chuckled.

Raven groaned in annoyance. "Oh my god… what did I ever see in you…" Tai then answered her question by kissing her cheek, making her blush.

"I love you" they said in unison and smiled as they looked into each other's eyes. They heard a familiar voice called from the front door. "William! Pyrrha! Grandpa Tai/ Aunt Ruby/ Great Uncle Qrow came to visit!"

Both parents chuckled as both their children shot up out of bed and ran for the living room to meet the rest of their family. Both parents were content to just sit for a few minutes in each other's arms.

Everyone laughed at how the kids acted. It was honestly adorable seeing them like this. Happy to see their family members come for a visit.

Yang was just happy to know that her kids and family were so close that they would be so happy to see them. It made her heart flutter with joy.

"Mommy! Daddy! Aunt Nora, Auntie Weiss, Aunt Blake, and Uncle Ren are here too! Uncle Ren says Daddy has to help him make breakfast!" This earned chuckles from the blond duo. "Jaune stood up carrying Yang in a bridal carry. "Duty calls my lady, shall I leave you on the couch and help prepare a feast for your successful mission?" Yang smiled, which was answer enough as they walked to meet their family.

Yang blushed at how well Jaune knew her. Yes, she did like the idea of relaxing after a mission and having breakfast made for her. And to be held in bridal style? Well… most girls would see it as embarrassing. But she always felt it might feel nice having someone hold you in a loving and protective way. Making her feel safe. It could be like being a princess.

Tai chuckled. "Looks like Yang found her very own prince charming." He said to Raven. This made Raven blush, but everyone was confused as to why.

However, that didn't stop WB and NR from smiling at how they were close enough with Jaune and Yang's kids to be called aunt and uncle.

Nora smirked. "I would be an awesome aunt! I could teach them how to ride Ursa! Swing hammers! Break legs in just the right spots! Oh! And how important pancakes are!" She cheered.

Ren sighed but smiled at his girlfriend's antics.

The scene then went black, only to turn on again to a new setting for them to view in this universe.

Jaune looked over the counter into the living room where his wife and children were excitedly deciding on a movie as he made the snacks. It was Friday night which meant movie night in the Arc household Jaune and Yang had refrained from taking any missions that would keep them from home on Friday. He smiled when he heard Pyrrha and William arguing over which of their movies they would watch first.

Tai and Nick both began to chuckle at such a familiar sight. "Well that takes me back." Tai said with a smile.

"Sure does. I can't tell you how many times Bleu and Verte would argue over watching Sci-fi and action-adventure movies." Nick nodded with a laugh.

However, everyone was freaking out at how June was just giggling like a loon. This was unsettling for everyone. Juliet was whimpering and hiding in Ilia's chest. "Gamma cweepy…"

"It's okay sweetie." Ilia said soothingly as she rubbed her daughter's head.

He chuckled to himself when he watched Pyrrha dance in victory after William finally relented and agreed to watch her movie that was based on the maidens. He knew William only put up a fight because Pyrrha had come to expect it and had admitted to his father in private that he loved to see his baby sister dance in excitement when she'd win. He looked down at the ice cream sundae he'd been making and had to sweat drop at the fact that he'd been working on auto pilot. The sundae looked to be too big for even Neo to finish.

Tai and Nick chuckled more. "Pyrrha definitely takes after her mother. Yang used to do that at her age." Yang smiled.

Nick smirked. "Same with my kids. They were always so happy if they won against each other."

Neo however, went wide-eyed seeing that much ice cream. She had a bit of drool run down her chin. She felt her stomach rumble seeing it. It was like heaven.

Roman laughed when he saw her acting this way. "Sorry Neo. But I doubt even you could finish all that ice cream on your own."

Neo sighed… "You might be right… but would LOVE to try." She said with a smirk.

Jackie sighed. "Jaune really should have made some healthier snacks. His children could get cavities from all that."

When he looked up again he saw his kids putting the disc in the player but noticed his wife was absent. He was about to ask the children where she went, when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind, before a familiar feminine frame was snuggling into his back. "You almost done with the snacks? I can't get comfortable on the couch without my favorite cushion after all." Said Yang as she planted soft kisses into his back.

Jaune smiled and turned, wrapping his arms around her waist before capturing her lips in a soft kiss. Yang immediately wrapped her arms around his neck so she could pull him deeper into the kiss. She loved the fact that Jaune stood a good foot taller than her now. It was a guilty pleasure of hers to have him envelope her smaller frame in his. Of course she'd deny it if anyone ever questioned her about it. She still had a reputation as a tough as nails certified badass huntress to keep up after all.

Yang was now blushing like mad. Her face was a deep cherry red at the sight before her on the screen. But then, she starts to wonder how it would feel to be in Jaune's arms.

She had seen in so many romantic movies of a man holding a girl lovingly in his arms. Keeping her safe and warm in his embrace. She often wondered what that could feel like. To just relax, and not have to worry about anything as someone you trust would gladly keep you safe and sound. For her to let go of her tough girl act and just be the girl who wanted someone to love her. It always sounded… kinda nice.

Meanwhile, the girls who all like Jaune imagined themselves in his arms. Him holding them close and giving them kisses. The idea of it made them melt.

Both parents were interrupted from their intimate moment by their daughter yelling about how gross it was for mommy and daddy to be kissing. Both pulled apart with a laugh and looked down to their daughter who wore a disgusted look on her face. Jaune picked her up and they both proceeded to smother her in kisses, as she squealed that Jaune's beard was tickling her. When she managed to break free, she ran into the living room and used William as a human shield. William simply rolled his eyes at his family's antics having been on the receiving end of his parent's joint smooches before and to this day he denies ever enjoying them.

Raven couldn't help but chuckle seeing this. Though she then started to imagine them calling her grandma. Though another part of her wondered if she would ever get to. If things with Yang would ever really get that much better that her children would see her that way.

Tai saw the expression Raven had and smiled. It was always nice seeing Raven let out her softer side. She used to only do that with him. He held her close. "You're cute when you're like this."

"N-no I'm not!" Revan denied.

"Yes you are. And I'm one plucky guy to have my pretty bird in my life." Tai chuckled.

"Tai, I will hurt you!" Raven shouted with an embarrassed look.

Yang stuck her tongue out at her daughter before she was lifted over Jaune's shoulder and carried into the living room by him, with the sundae being placed on the coffee table in front of the couch. Jaune sat with one leg pressed against the back of the couch and the other hanging off the edge. Yang took her position with her back pressed against his chest and his arms wrapped around her. She snuggled further into him enjoying how his beard tickled her cheek. Pyrrha and William began eating the sundae once the movie started while Yang fed Jaune and herself a few spoonfuls.

The little family spent the next few hours watching movies until the kids had fallen asleep leaning on each other. Jaune stood up to carry them to their room much to Yang's annoyance at his warmth leaving her. Once they were tucked into bed Jaune came back to a pouting Yang, which caused him to smirk. He took her hand into his and kissed it softly, trailing kisses up to her cheek until he finally captured her lips in a heated kiss. Yang immediately wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him onto the couch with her. The couple continued to kiss until the need for air couldn't be ignored any longer, when they pulled back from each other Jaune looked at Yang with a hunger that made her go red in the cheeks.

Everyone went wide eyed at this. They didn't expect how close Jaune and Yang were. Or how much they would visibly show their love to their kids. It was a scene that showed they were the very definition of a loving family.

Yang was blushing hard. It was hard to wrap her mind around the idea of someone loving her that much. Her abandonment issues always made her feel like that would never happen. But seeing this… it made her heart skip a beat.

He'd unconsciously let his aura start leaking out which turned his cobalt blue irises a glowing gold that made her shiver as they looked over her. She loved that she was the only one he looked at like that, he looked at her with a need in his eyes that made her melt every time. She remembered the first time he'd looked at her like that and the blessing that came in the form of William nine months later. She was roused from her thoughts by Jaune kissing her cheek softy and whispering in her ear "I love you Yang, and I'm so glad you saved me from myself that night I'd finally killed Cinder."

"WHAT?!" Emerald cried out in shock. She couldn't believe what she heard. The fact that Jaune had actually killed Cinder. She looked to her side expecting Cici to react, before remembering that Cinder wasn't there. She blushed a bit in embarrassment.

Salem meanwhile, looked down at the ground. She was trying to grasp knowledge that one of her counterpart's got her beloved grandbaby killed. It was a hard pill to swallow, as it reminded her of the night her daughters died.

Yang of course knew he was referring to the fact that she'd been the one to convince him that obsessing over a single goal would ultimately do more harm than good. That had also been the night that in his words "She'd wormed her way past the walls he'd put up since losing Pyrrha and found a spot in his heart"

Pyrrha began to cry. She couldn't handle how badly her death had affected Jaune. Guilt was swarming in her.

"Pyrrha?" Nora asked. She was worried about her friend. Before pulling her into a comforting hug. Pyrrha began to cry on Nora's shoulder.

Maria let out a sigh. "Damn. This went from wholesome to depressing fast. I think I speak for everyone when I say we had enough of that in the last session." Everyone nodded.

Yang gently cupped his face between her hands and kissed him with tears in her eyes. She'd been terrified at the person he'd been becoming and had finally had enough when he killed Cinder and had been planning to take his own life. She kissed him till her lungs cried for oxygen and then kissed him harder. Thinking of that night always made her feel the need to convey just how much she loved him. Jaune returned the kiss and wiped the tears that stained her cheeks. He pulled her into his chest rubbing her back softly as she snuggled further into his warmth.

Raven smiled as she held Tai's hand. "He's treating her the same way you used to treat me."

Tai smiled back. "You mean like his precious princess?"

Raven was now a blushed mess. "T-Tai!" She whined. Everyone couldn't believe they were seeing the Raven Branwen whining like an embarrassed school girl.

Once she'd finally gained control of her emotions again she'd looked up at him and gave him a smile that warmed his heart. She kissed him softly before standing and leading him by his shirt collar into their bedroom.

The next day the children would wake up to their father standing in the kitchen making breakfast and their mother walking unsteadily to the table with a blush on her cheeks, sending subtle glares at their cheerily whistling father. Yang mumbled curses at Jaune and his inhuman amount of stamina all throughout that day.

Yang was blushing like mad at this. She and Jaune just… they… she couldn't even think about it without turning into a tomato with amazing hair.

However, she was taken out of her thoughts when she heard a squeal. And was surprised that it came from none other than her mother Raven. "MORE GRANDBABIES!" she shouted. She then went up to Yang and grabbed her shoulders. "YANG I WANT YOU TO RIDE THAT BOY TILL I HAVE AN ARMY IF GRANDBABIES!" She shouted excitedly. Yang however was beyond embarrassed at her mom saying this.

Tai smirked. "You know Raven, you are already pregnant yourself." He reminded her. This made Raven, and all the other moms remember they were pregnant with kids. They all began to gush happily.

As they were gushing in lala land over having more kids, June over having her eighth, ninth and tenth daughters, the screen then changed to the next video.

Jaune slowly opened his eyes when the sunlight peeked through the curtains. He pulled the blanket over his head and felt around with his free arm for his wife so he could bury his face in her hair to keep the sun at bay. When he couldn't feel her he immediately opened his eyes and looked around the room in search of a sign as to where she could be. *Yang is never awake before me*

Everyone was confused. "That's weird. Yang is hardly ever awake early." Ruby said.

"Yeah. Unless she decides to steal all the hot water." Weiss grumbled.

Yang however, was worried. She was really hoping she wouldn't pull a Raven when she had made a family of her own. Just the thought of doing something like that made her scared.

Tai saw her look and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey. It's okay Yang. You'd never do that." He assured her. This made her smile a little.

Jaune smelled smoke and rushed to the kitchen to be greeted by his wife and their children staring at something in a skillet. He walked up behind them quietly and peeked over Yang and saw what looked to be a burnt pancake. "Mommy I told you we shouldn't have put the heat so high" said Pyrrha not noticing her father was standing behind them. "Mom this bacon you made doesn't look like it does when dad usually makes it. Are you sure you cooked it all the way?" asked William with a raised eyebrow as he looked down at a plate of what looked like undercooked bacon.

Yang breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't leave her husband and kids. She then blushed at how she just thought of Jaune as her husband.

Tai noticed the smile. "Glad to see you come back around my little Yangarang." Tai chuckled.

Meanwhile, Ruby is more focused on something else. "Oh god… Yang tried to cook…" Ruby cringed.

"Wha- hey! What's wrong with me cooking?" Yang asked with a pout.

"Yang, you can't even make a grilled cheese sandwich without setting smoke alarms off." Ruby deadpanned. Yang pouted even more as she stroked her hair.

Tai just chuckled as he looked at Raven. "Like mother, like daughter. Eh Rae?" he asked.

Just like Yang, Raven pouted as she stroked her hair. "One time Tai. I wanted to do something nice just one time…" Like Yang, she isn't allowed in the kitchen.

Yang slumped her shoulders, running her hand through her hair with a sigh. "Maybe we should take your Dad out for breakfast instead, I shouldn't have even tried making it. I'm sorry kids Mommy isn't very good at doing this kind of thing." Pyrrha and William looked at each other then to the sad look their mother had and wordlessly agreed with each other.

Just like her counterpart, Yang slumped down her shoulders. "Cooking shouldn't be so hard… it's just making food hot and stuff, right?"

Jackie let out an insulted gasp. She did not just say that! She refused to believe someone would say that. She couldn't even find words to properly convey how insulted she was that her craft was labeled as such. Oh wait. "YOU CONCEITED LITTLE BITCH! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH WORK AND EFFORT I PUT IN TO GET AS GOOD AS I AM?!" she shouted.

Before she could lunge at Yang, Roman grabbed her and held her back. "Easy there Jackie. Easy."

"HELL NO! THAT TRAMP NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!" Jackie shouted.

Roman placed a hand over her mouth. "There are kids he- OW! DID YOU JUST BITE ME?!"

"I suggest you apologize, Yang. Wouldn't want your goose to get cooked." Tai chuckled.

"CRAM IT TAI!" Jackie shouted as she tried getting to Yang

Yang now had a very scared look as she saw the utter fury in Jackie's eyes. She wasn't the only one. She wasn't the only one. Chance was hiding in Glynda's chest. "Mama Gynn, aunie Wacky scawy…" he whimpered.

"It's okay sweetie." Glynda said soothingly as she rubbed his head.

Neo however was actually liking this side of Jackie a bit too much. She had a huge grin on her face.

"I think we have enough mix left to try another batch of pancakes mommy, let's just try lowering the temperature. I know you can do this, you're the best mommy in the world." Said Pyrrha with determination as she smiled at her mother. "I can make a run to the supermarket to get some more bacon. I've been getting faster ever since I started training with dad. We can do this mom, we can make this the best birthday breakfast dad will ever have." Said William with a grin that was so similar to his mother's that it made Jaune think he was looking at a smaller male Yang for a second.

Nora gave Yang an evil look for wasting pancakes. No one, and she means NO ONE, wastes pancakes and gets away with it on her watch. Ren, noticing his girlfriend, just sighed.

"H-hey, why are you glaring at me? I'm sure you do that all the time." Yang pouted.

"Unless it's something I know how to cook, I always have Renny help me make food. Unlike you, I know about cooking safety. Who do you think cooks all my explosives up?" Nora huffed.

Yang just smiled and pulled both of them into a hug with tears in her eyes. "Thanks kids, I don't know what I did to deserve you two, but I'm thankful to the brothers that your daddy picked me to be your mother." Said Yang as she pulled both of them into a hug. Jaune smiled and decided to quietly sneak out of the kitchen and wait for them to come to him. He made it to his and Yang's bedroom when he heard William trying to sneak down the hall so he wouldn't wake up.

Nick and June laughed at how William tries not to wake up Jaune. "Hehe, the kids did that on our birthdays as well, right dear?" Nicholas asked his wife.

June couldn't stop laughing. "I-I remember when the twins ended up making a mess fighting over who carried the tray, waking us up."

Tai chuckled as he scratched the back of his head. "I don't let the girls in the kitchen anymore. That was a week-long cleaning session." both Yang and Ruby blushed in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Es just sighed. "I hope the girls took after their father. He could cook better meals than I ever could…"

He waited till he heard the door to his son's room close before making his way over and sneaking in while his son was putting his shoes on. William looked up and almost yelled in surprise if Jaune hadn't covered his mouth with his hand. Jaune put a finger to his lips and whispered "William do me a favor and take your sister with you to the store. Yes I heard you three talking in the kitchen and thank you son"

William agreed and quickly grabbed a pair of his Sister's shoes and rushed to the kitchen telling Pyrrha to put them on so she could go with him. When questioned about why she had to go too, William lied and said she had a better memory than him and would remember which brand they were supposed to buy. Pyrrha agreed with a sigh and kissed her mother's cheek stating she'd be back soon and to not raise the heat again. Jaune waited to hear the front door close before he snuck up behind Yang and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her back against his chest.

Everyone laughed at how Jaune got the kids out of the house, just so he could comfort Yang. It was honestly sweet. Him wanting to help make his wife feel better after her… colossal failure.

Meanwhile, Yang was smiling at how close her babies were...and where the hell did that thought come from?! Why was she thinking of them as HER babies?! And… Why was she jealous of her counterpart being held in Jaune's arms?

Yang let out a Yelp dropping the spatula she was holding, but quickly relaxed into his arms putting her hands over his. Jaune softly kissed the top of her head before resting his chin on her shoulder. "Good Morning beautiful, what's this you're making here?" asked Jaune, smiling.

Yang was blushing even more. The cow lick at the top of her head was wagging like a dog's tail as she covered her face in embarrassment. Why was this happening to her? Why did she have to get so embarrassed seeing someone show her affection like this?

Tai chuckled even more. "Come on Yang. You've had boyfriends before, haven't you?"

Yang just stayed silent. She had told her sister and dad she had dated a boyfriend or two. But… It was all a lie. She never even kissed a boy. Let alone date one. She says she was a party girl who likes to go out drinking with friends. But she really just lied and spent all her time looking for leads on her mom. She began to sink into her seat while blushing.

Raven noticed this and gasped. "YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO YOUR FATHER HAVEN'T YOU?! YOU'VE NEVER DATED BEFORE AT ALL!"

Yang blushed even more. She couldn't think of anything to say.

Ruby now gasped. "Yang! Does that mean you've been sleeping with boys you haven't been dating at all?! You are such a bad influence!" Ruby shouted, thinking Yang was a slut.

"W-what?! No, of course not!" Yang shouted, unable to believe Ruby would think that of her.

Tai then realized Yang was a virgin. He smiled at knowing the truth, but decided to keep quiet. Knowing that it was Yang's secret to keep.

Yang blushed, remembering the failed attempt at breakfast before them and turned around trying to push Jaune out of the kitchen so he wouldn't see her burnt abominations. Jaune chuckled and lifted her by her waist into the air smiling at her weak attempts to get out of his hands. "Jaune, don't look, it's horrible. I wanted to make you breakfast for your birthday since you're always making it for me and the kids. I wanted to show that I appreciate everything you do around here, like how you're always cooking or doing the laundry. Helping the kids with their school work and cleaning the house too. You do so much and I don't feel like I show my appreciation enough. I know I'm a terrible wife that brought nothing into this relationship and I'm so sorry that I'm not as good at this sort of thing like oth-"

Raven sighed. "That's how I felt when I lived with Tai…" she always wished she could be more helpful around the house. But always screwed it up. She was raised by bandits after all. The most cooking she was taught was having meat over a fire.

Hearing this made Tai sigh as well, before he pulled Raven into a hug. "Rae, listen to me. Sure, you could kill a Grimm with your cooking," she pouted and smacked him when he said that, making him chuckle. "But I fell in love with you for your attitude, and how you are secretly a loving woman when someone can get under your armor."

That last part made Raven blush, before turning to glare at Qrow, expecting him to have something smart to say. Only for him to deadpan at her. "What? I always said Tai was good for you. And I'm glad you're not too stubborn to see it now." He said as he took a drink from his flask. This just made Raven blush even more.

Jaune softly captured Yang's lips in a kiss as he set her back on the ground, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her close to him. Yang pressed herself against his chest as they kissed, feeling a sense of security envelop her as he held her close to him. When they finally ended the kiss Jaune ran his fingers through her hair softly as she buried her face in his chest. Yang smiled as she felt his calloused hand gently running through her hair just like when they laid together in bed.

All the girls began to imagine what it would feel like for Jaune to play with their hair or Faunus traits... suddenly lots of blushes and a few nosebleeds followed those thoughts. It was becoming a problem.

Blake's ears were wiggling while she purred, while Velvet was hiding behind her ears.

Ruby however was hiding in her hood. She can talk about sex no problem. But wholesome stuff made her a blushing mess.

Pyrrha was just pouting out of jealousy, while Glynda imagined what it would be like to have a man lovingly hold her hand. Though that man kept having Jaune's face.

"Yang I do all this stuff around the house because I love you and the kids and I don't mind doing it if I can see the three of you smile. William loves when you play video games with him in the living room while I cook dinner, Pyrrha loves it when you brush her hair in the morning before breakfast. The kids love playing outside with you while I get the laundry done, or when you take them out for ice cream when I'm cleaning the house. I don't care what other women are good at because you're the woman I love. You are the mother of our son William Julius Arc, and daughter Pyrrha Xiao Long. I couldn't ask for a better mother to our children or a better person to spend the rest of my life with."

Jaune's words caused both Yang and Raven to blush. Yang due to Jaune pointing out what he thinks makes her a good wife and mother. It made her heart practically skip a beat hearing someone say those beautiful things about her.

Meanwhile, Raven was busy picturing doing that with Yang and her baby boy... when she did, she then got incredibly sad, and hugged Tai with tears in her eyes. "I… I'm so sorry... for the stupid and horrible mistake I made all those years ago..." she sobbed.

Tai held her in her arms. "It's okay Rae. I forgive you."

Yang teared up and buried her face back into his chest as she wrapped her arms around him. Jaune smiled and continued running his hands through her hair until she stepped back and softly punched his stomach. "It's not fair when you start getting sappy like that you know." She said as she smiled. Jaune chuckled and pulled her so her back was against his chest, he gripped her wrists lightly and guided her hands as she started making breakfast again.

Nora nodded. "That's how Renny taught me how to make a lot of food." she giggled. "But it's not as good as Ren's cooking." she then cuddled into him.

Ren smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Nora."

Saphron smiled happily. "I LOVE Jaune's cooking!"

Just then, everyone drooled, remembering how good their lunches he made were. "He really is an amazing cook!" Terra gushed.

Ruby pulled some cookies out of her box. "TELL ME ABOUT IT!" she said as she stuffed her face, making her friends and family sigh and shake their heads.

By the time William and Pyrrha had made it home they had already made a large stack of pancakes and a side of bacon with eggs. They saw their mother sitting on their fathers lap smiling and feeding him bites of pancakes. William smiled down at his little sister before she smiled back and they bumped fists with a shout of mission accomplished. They ran and jumped onto their parents knocking the chair they had been sitting on over. Yang, Pyrrha and Jaune were all hugging their father with smiles and shouted happy birthday.

Nick and Tai burst out laughing at the situation. "Hehe! The kids did that as well when they finally got the birthday breakfast ready." Nick chuckled.

Tai smiled. "Those burnt pancakes and eggs were the best foods I ever ate, knowing the kids made them." Yang and Ruby smiled at him… till the two dads then shudder at how wrecked the kitchen was, making them blush.

Jaune smiled and he wrapped his arms around the three and smiled thanking the brothers for the family they had given him.

As she looked at this beautiful scene, Raven turned to Yang. "Yang, I expect you to tackle the Arc boy, and keep Juniper's threat to Tai."

Qrow and Tai suddenly looked at each other nervously. "W-wait… what?" they asked. Just then, a memory came to them.

Flashback:

It was years ago at Beacon, and teams JWNK and STRQ were sitting at a lunch table. Tai and Nick were arm wrestling, with both teams cheating on their respective team mates.

"Come on Tai! Represent team STRQ!" Summer cheared.

"Yeah Tai. Don't make us look bad!" Qrow chuckled.

Willow sighed. "This seems a little… silly."

Kali giggled. "Oh I don't know. I'm enjoying the view." she said as she looked at the two blonde's muscles.

Willow looked at her partner. "Really Kali?"

"What? You can't tell me you wouldn't do the same with Qrow?" Kali whispered so Summer didn't hear, making Willow blush.

Raven was busy admiring Tai, as was Juniper for Nick as they watched the display. Qrow noticed the leader of team JWNK focusing on her partner and smirked as he had an idea. "Hey Nick, did you know June likes you?" This made June's eyes go wide.

Tai smirked as he saw what Qrow was doing and joined in. "Yeah. She really wants to go out with you."

This distracted Nick long enough that Tai got the upper hand, and slammed Nick's hand down on the table, causing Summer to cheer.

Nick wasn't too focused on his loss as he was looking at his partner. "Is that true June?"

Juniper was blushing. "W-well… I uh…"

Nick smiled at her. "I like you too."

June's eyes lit up "R-really?"

"Yeah. You're a wonderful friend." he said, his words hitting June like an arrow to the chest. "Maybe we could spar some time."

"Y-yeah." June said through a forced smile.

"Anyway, all that arm wrestling made me hungry. Do you guys want anything?" Nick asked.

"I could go for another tuna fish sandwich." Kali said. Nick nodded and walked off.

When Nick was gone, Juniper turned to Qrow and Tai with a fiery glare.

"U-um… June… calm down." Tai begged, feeling scared.

"Y-yeah… it was just a joke…" Qrow nodded.

"A JOKE?! YOU IDIOTS!" June shouted.

"W-well if you think about it, we were trying to help you ask Nick out. You should thank us." Qrow spoke.

"THANK YOU?! THANK YOU?! I HAVE HALF A MIND TO KILL YOU! NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY PISSES OFF JUNIPER ARTORIA PENDRAGON!" June shouted. "You two are on my shit list. And I never forget when someone makes it on my shit list."

"W-what are you going to do?" Tai asked.

June then had an evil smirk, which made the two scared even more. "I promise you idiots this, I am going to have a son, just so that he seduces and fucks your wives."

Everyone at the table looked at her in shock. However, Raven, Summer and even Willow were blushing, while chuckling nervously. As all three of them were imagining they would be their wives.

Kali on the other hand, was licking her lips. 'It's just like those novels I read. Where a young and handsome man swoops in and steals another man's wife.'

Back to modern day:

Tai and Qrow gulped, having completely forgotten about that after all this time. Mostly due to their wives either being dead, or leaving them. But now it looks like June will have it be for their daughters instead. They felt… somewhat better. Mostly Qrow, as Ruby already wanted in Jaune's pants. So he was mostly just concerned for the boy instead.

Yang however, was a blushing mess. "You have no say in who takes my virginity! Let alone my first kiss!" she covered her mouth as she realized what she just said, shocking EVERYONE.

Ruby then realized something. "W-wait, if you weren't fucking those boys, what were you doing?"

Yang sighed. "I… I was hunting down any info on mom…" she said with an embarrassed look, with Raven looking ashamed. All of Yang's team were trying to comprehend this. Everything they thought they knew was in question.

"T-then… what about that box in your closet that said porn stash?" Ruby asked, making everyone go wide eyed.

"W-well… it… it's actually full of really sappy romance movies…" she blushed. She just loved bad romance movies. She ugly cried every time she saw them. Honestly, the first time she opened a porn mag, she screamed while chucking it as far as she could.

Ruby however felt like her world was shattering just as much as Yang's was when she found out about how perverted she was. Then again, a stash she has also was purposefully mislabeled. She hid her own porn in a box labeled weapons catalogs.

Once again, the screen changed.

Jaune pulled a tray of cookies from the oven and set them down to cool when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind, before their owner began planting soft kisses along his back. He smiled and turned, wrapping his arms around Yang's waist, capturing her lips in a kiss she happily returned. Yang pulled back with her hand gripping the collar of his shirt softly and said. "We still have some time before Ruby brings the kids home from the park, maybe we should make them a sibling. Pyrrha and William have been hinting at wanting more siblings lately."

Ruby drooled seeing Jaune take fresh cookies out of the oven, before she just shoveled more of the cookies in her lunch box in her mouth, moaning from how good they were.

Yang was, however, blushing at how her counterpart could even suggest such a thing. Her face was so red, and once again, her cowlick was wagging. "Why does this have to be so embarrassing…" she whimpered.

Meanwhile, Raven and June squealed as they held hands. "MORE GRANDBABIES!" they shouted, as Raven wanted to glomp Yang and start cooing over her wanting more babies.

Nick and Tai just chuckled at their wives shenanigans.

Jaune smiled and was about to take her up on her offer when they heard the front door slam open, which made both take a combat stance right away. When they made their way into the living room they were greeted by a panicking Ruby and Pyrrha standing over William who was laying on the couch. Both were by his side in an instant and winced when they saw the black eye he had along with tears and stains on his clothes. He opened his good eye and smiled at them nervously. "H-Hey mom and d-dad, it looks a lot worse than it is honestly"

Yang gasped, seeing her little boy hurt. She wondered where that came from, but was too busy being pissed off as her hair was lit on fire, and her eyes blood red.

The rest of her family weren't too far behind. Raven was thinking of painful ways she could gut whoever had the balls to hurt her grandbaby. Through they wouldn't have balls for fucking long.

Yang ignored their son's words and gently prodded the outer area of the bruise and winced when she saw her son recoil from her touch. She turned to her little sister and was greeted by an outstretched ice pack courtesy of said reaper with a nervous smile. She took the ice pack and held it to her son's eye, placing his hand over it to keep it in place. Pyrrha was sitting next to her brother with a sad frown and hugged him when he smiled at her reassuringly.

Tai smiled at his daughter and hugged her. "I think you're a natural mom."

Yang blushed and hugged him back. "T-thanks dad…"

Meanwhile, Wolf had to restrain Raven and June as they were ranting about how badly they were going to murder the brats who hurt their grandbaby.

Yang looked up and face palmed when she saw Jaune already grabbing Crocea Mors from their bedroom. She ended up tackling him into the bedroom and shutting the door behind her and doing her best to pin her larger half. "Let me go, Yang. I just want to find whoever did this to William and talk. With my sword." Yang rolled her eyes and ended up kissing him, slipping her tongue past his open lips, Jaune eventually calmed down and dropped Crocea Mors before reciprocating the kiss. Once she was sure he'd calmed down she pulled back and held his face gently. "Jaune you need to calm down. We'll get the full story from the kids and Ruby, then if we need to take care of the problem, we will, ok?"

Nick laughed at how Jaune went for his sword. "That's my boy."

"Yes! Kill the little fuckers!" June shouted.

Terra turned to Saphron. "There is something wrong with your family." But then she saw Saphron with an evil grin wringing her hands. This caused Terra to sigh in exhaustion.

Jaune's only response was to nod which Yang smiled at and patted his cheek softly before getting off of him. Once they had both straightened out their outfits they made their way back out of the room and were greeted by a nervous looking Ruby and an empty tray of cookies. Yang rolled her eyes at her sister's antics before taking a seat next to her, followed by Jaune sitting on her opposite side. "Ruby what happened, how did William end up with a black eye?"

Ruby poked her finger tips together nervously and answered. "I'm not sure honestly, one second the kids were playing together in the field and then I left to get us some ice cream but when I got back William was laying on the ground with Pyrrha bawling her eyes out on her knees next to him. I was gone for five maybe ten minutes max I swear!"

Ruby shaked in fear, afraid Yang is gonna be mad at her for leaving her nephew unsupervised. That was before Yang managed to pull her into a tight hug.

"It isn't your fault Ruby. It's those brats who hurt my babies, while you were being the fun Aunt who was treating the kids to ice cream. You have nothing to worry about." Yang told her with a smile.

Ruby smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks sis."

Jaune was up before either of them could react and was kneeling in front of the kids and asked. "William, what happened son? Whatever it was don't worry, your mother and I will take care of it, I promise." William looked at his father and shook his head with a sad look in his eyes before he kept his eyes down at his balled fists on his knees. Jaune let out a sigh knowing his son was more stubborn than he and Yang combined. He turned to their daughter and waited for her to explain, William turned to Pyrrha and gave her a pleading look that she sadly shook her head at.

Everyone who knows just how stubborn Yang and Jaune could be let out groans. Hearing the fact that their son was more so then the two of them combined was not a pretty thought.

Yang sighed. "I don't know whether to be proud or not that he got that from me…"

She turned to Jaune who was now joined by Yang and Ruby before answering in a quiet voice. "William got hurt defending me from some kids that were making fun of me for my name." Jaune and Yang looked at each other and came to the same conclusion, but gestured for their daughter to continue.

"THAT'S MY BOY!" Yang cheered.

Ruby sighed. She remembered how many times Yang had gotten into a fight when someone picked on her. She got in trouble a lot.

Flashback

Pyrrha and William were playing tag with the little ravenette being it. They ran passed a group of boys when Pyrrha suddenly tripped over a foot one of the kids had stuck out. Pyrrha rubbed her skinned knee and was about to try and get up when she was pushed back into the ground courtesy of a boy with spiky blond hair. "What a loser you should watch where you're going little miss dragon. What a joke as if you could be compared to one of those fire breathing lizards."

Yang and Tai both growled as they glared down the little snot. They didn't take too kindly to those brats bashing their name.

"WHO THE HELL DOES THAT LITTLE SHIT THINK HE IS?!" Raven shouted, wanting to know the name of the brat making fun of her sweet innocent grandbaby.

The other two boys laughed at the blond brats insult and started throwing their own insults in as well. "My dad went to Beacon with their parents and said her dad was a total wimp that would lose all the time, and her mom would sleep with anyone that asked. Coming from parents like that no wonder she and her brother are such losers." Exclaimed a brown haired kid who began to laugh until he was sent to the ground courtesy of a fist to his face.

Yang was pissed beyond words. "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE THREW THE FIRST PUNCH!" Yang shouted. "HE IS SO GROUNDED!" Tai was both shocked, and baffled, seeing Yang being so motherly.

"He was defending you and Jaune though." Nora defended.

"I DON'T CARE! HE IS MY BABY BOY, AND HE SHOULDN'T BE GETTING INTO A FUCKING FIST WITH A BRAT OVER STUPID SHIT HIS DAD SAID!" Yang shouted.

Everyone just deadpanned at how hypocritical Yang was being. She was the queen of throwing the first punch over stupid shit.

The blond haired brat and last remaining boy glared at the now angry looking William who had noticed his sister had stopped chasing him and made his way back to investigate. William glared at the boys with now red eyes like his mother when she lost her temper. "I told you I don't care what you say about me Winchester, but keep my family out of it. If you ever pick on my sister or even think about touching her I'll show you a real close look at the bottom of my boot."

"OF FUCKING COURSE IT WAS HIM!" a pissed off Velvet shouted, going full angry Austie mode. "THE NEXT TIME I SEE THAT FUCKING DRONGO, I AM GOING TO PLAY FOOTY WITH THAT BOUNCE'S DONGER TILL HE CAUGHS UP HIS FAMILY JEWELS, THEN SHOVE MY FIST UP HIS FRECKLE TILL I HIT LUNGS! I AM BLOODY BUGGERED WITH HIS SHIT!"

Everyone just looked at her wide eyed, many not knowing what in the hell she just said, save for those who are from Menagerie, who knew full well what she said, and slowly backed away from the bunny. Ghira instinctively covered his "family jewels" hearing what Velvet had planned for Cardin's.

Coco however didn't know why, but she was blushing seeing Velvet like this. Something about seeing Velvet so pissed off was pretty hot.

Chance was just giggling. "Funny bunny." he said as he clapped.

Just then, they heard what sounded like screaming. "AAAAAAAHHHHH! NO, WAIT! IT WASN'T ME, JAUNE AND I ARE COOL NOW!" the voice screamed, while seven female voices were grunting, and what sounded like someone getting the shit beat out of them was heard.

This made Velvet smirk. "Good. Good." She said in a very dark tone.

The brown haired boy responded by trying to tackle William who dug his feet into the ground and brought his knee up to connect to the kid's nose causing it to spurt blood. He threw the boy to the ground and turned back to check on his sister but was met with a fist to his face courtesy of the blond haired brat. The other boy, a black haired kid, tackled him to the ground while he was recovering from the punch and started to punch him while the other two boys started kicking at any available spot.

Yang semblance was flaring up. "I am going to find out who the father of those brats are, and castrate them one by one so those little shirs are never born!" She shouted.

"I'll help." Ruby and Raven said at the exact same time, none too happy to see their nephew and grandbaby bullied.

Everyone just sweat dropped and backed away from the three Branwen girls.

Qrow just sighed, seeing that the family crazy was still strong.

Pyrrha ran to try and help but William shouted for her to stay back and hide in the bushes while het retaliated by grabbing the blond kid's foot and pulling which made him fall forward and knock the Winchester boy to the ground. William used a move his mother had taught him and caught the last boy's arm and brought his legs up and used them to force the kid to the ground while he kept a tight hold of his arm. He was rewarded by a loud pop and the boy screaming in pain as his arm went limp.

"THAT'S MY BOY!" Tai and Yang shouted. Tai remembered when he taught that move to Yang. They were both so proud.

"Are you seriously encouraging this Tai?" Qrow deadpanned. How was the drunk becoming the sensible one?

"I can't help it, Qrow. I'm just so proud." Tai said happily.

Qrow just sighed before taking a big swig of his flask. Summer just giggled and patted his back.

William let go as the boy got up using his good arm and ran to his friends who helped him as they ran away from the blond who was still on the ground panting. He heard a noise and looked up to see his sister tearing up at the sight of his swollen eye, and a multitude of tears and stains on his clothes. He smiled at her reassuringly before passing out from the adrenaline leaving his system. Pyrrha began bawling her eyes out.

Yang sighed. "Well… I'm proud of him… but he is still grounded…"

Tai chuckled. "Welcome to my world sweetie." He said as he patted Yang's shoulder in a loving fatherly fashion.

Yang groaned. Not liking the idea of turning into her dad. Though at least she wasn't turning into her mom. She jolted thinking that. She felt kinda bad since her mom is trying to fix things. But it was hard to move on.

Flashback End

"That's when auntie Ruby showed up and picked us up before running here as fast as she could. Please don't be mad at big brother! He was just protecting me like you do for us daddy!" exclaimed Pyrrha while William continued to look at his balled up fists and let some tears leak out. He quietly whispered "I'm sorry I couldn't be strong like you and mom dad. I'm sorry I couldn't beat them and come home ok like you two always do. I'm weak and was scared the whole time but I couldn't let them get away with what they had said and done. I just wanted to protect everyone and be brave like you do all the time, but I'm not brave or strong, I'm weak and afraid! I don't deserve to be your so-"

Yag jumped right out of her seat with an angry look. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH WILLIAM ARC! YOU ARE STILL A CHILD AND CAN ALWAYS GROW STRONGER! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS WIN TO TRY AND PROVE YOUR WORTH BEING OUR SON! IF ANYTHING WE SHOULD BE PROVING WE DESERVE TO BE CALLED YOURS AND PYRRHA'S PARENTS!" She shouted, shocking everyone in the theater.

"Wow… yang calm down. It's okay." Ruby said.

"I WILL NOT! I CAN'T JUST LET MY SON THINK HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE MY BABY!" Yang responded angrily.

William was cut off by a slap to the back of his head and looked up to see the teary eyes of his father and mother. He was pulled into a hug by the both of them and heard his father quietly say. "Don't ever say something like that or I'll ground you until you're an old man, do you understand me William. Don't ever say you don't deserve to be our son. You and your sister are the greatest things to ever happen to your mother and I."

Yang teared up hearing Jaune agree with her. It made her heart skip a beat knowing Jaune felt the same way.

June just smiled at Jaune being a loving father, while Nick just looked sad that Jaune was more supportive of his son than he was. He let out a sigh, thinking of how he could have, and should have, done better.

William teared up and hugged his parents and was joined by his sister and aunt as the family stayed like that for what felt like hours. Eventually they broke up the hug and Jaune told the kids to get cleaned up and get dressed because they'd be going out for dinner. Yang and Jaune invited Ruby who happily agreed and the group were now outside William's favorite restaurant. Jaune stopped his son and waited for the three women to enter before he knelt down and looked his son in the eyes.

Everyone was confused and wondered what exactly Jaune was up to. Save for Saphron, who was groaning.

"What's wrong Saphron?" Terra asked her wife.

Saphron sighed. "I just hope Jaune isn't as bad as dad is at giving advice…"

"Wha- hey!" Nicholas said.

"Honey, I love you, I really do. But you are terrible at giving advice." Juniper said to her husband. Nick sighed and deflated in his seat.

"William I know you still feel like you let us down, but I want you to get that out of your head right now. I know you want to be like me son, but you have to realize I wasn't always as strong as I am now I started off weak just like how you feel. I was weak and afraid, I was constantly getting hurt in fights and would've died a few times if it wasn't for your aunts and uncles. Remember this William, only an idiot has no fear. Today you felt fear but you still fought to protect your sister and defend your mother and I. You are strong and you are brave son. I'm going to tell you one of the core beliefs of the Arc family, son, for a person to truly be strong they have to feel the cold touch of fear and roar back with all their soul that they will still fight."

Yang had tears in her eyes seeing Jaune telling their son not to give up. 'Jaune… he is such a wonderful father, and such a kind loving guy… I think… I think I understand what that version of me saw in him…'

Just as she said that, she felt something fall into her hair. This alone made her eye twitch. She grabbed what it was and looked at it. Her eyes went wide when she saw that it was the same model of Jaune's sword the others got. She screamed like a banshee and threw it as hard as she could.

Tai wasn't too happy about his daughter getting a dildo. But he couldn't help but chuckle seeing her act that way. "Like mother like daughter, eh Rae?"

Raven blushed in embarrassment.

William looked at his father with widened eyes before nodding softly and hugging him with all the strength his small arms could muster. Jaune smiled as he watched his son run inside before looking confused at his wife walking back out towards him. Yang stood next to her husband with her hands behind her back and smiled at him softly. "I ordered for you and William already. He seems to be feeling better, guess you took care of the lingering doubt he was feeling." Jaune just smiled which was answer enough for his better half as she leaned in and kissed him softly. He reciprocated the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist while she placed hers on his chest, before ending the kiss and resting her head against him enjoying the warmth he let off.

"Something tells me William is going to be just fine in the future, he'll probably end up being stronger than the both of us." Said Yang quietly.

Raven smiled as she hugged Yang closely. "I'm so proud of the women you'll become."

Yang blushed. "T-thanks mom…"

Meanwhile as this was happening, Chance noticed Floppsy. "Pwetty bunny! Pwetty bunny!" he giggled as he reached out for her. Floppsy saw this and hopped over to him, snuggling into the infant as he began to pet her. Something the bunny found comforting.

And Juliet saw puppy Togo. she squealed and turned to Ilia. "Down mama." she asked. Ilia giggled and did so. Juliet then crawled over to the pup, making togo get excited and pounced around, as the two began to play.

The screen once more changed to a different scene.

Jaune woke up with Yang clinging to his side while also taking up most of the bed space. He chuckled and slowly unlatched her from his side, before changing into his training clothes, grabbing Crocea Mors as he made his way outside. He froze on the deck when he saw William running laps around the large yard carrying a bag strapped to his back, while panting and sweating profusely. His son hadn't noticed him yet so he hid in the bushes and watched curious as to what he was doing up so early.

Yang blushed and covered her face seeing her other self cling to Jaune like that. She couldn't stop herself from imagining doing that for real. Just cuddling Jaune and having him in her arms. Or… or being the little spoon. That thought alone made her head steam.

Yang's friends just deadpanned at her. Honestly, they never would have figured Yang for such a sappy romantic. It was kind of… surreal…

William finished running his last lap and let the bag he had been carrying drop to the ground with an audible thud, before he dropped to the ground and began doing push ups. "Come on William you can do this keep going, you're weak now but dad said he started out the same way. I just have to keep working hard and I can be a hero just like dad. Then he won't have to worry so much when he leaves on missions."

Yang was both sad that her son felt this way, but also proud he took Jaune's advice and tried to improve.

Tai chuckled. "That's my grandson right there."

"Mine as well." Nick laughed.

"Kids got spunk. I'll give him that." Coco smirked.

William felt his arms give up on him after getting to eighty, falling to the ground exhausted. He began to try and get up but felt something cold touch his cheek, making him jump back in surprise. He was greeted by the grinning form of his father who was knelt down, holding a water bottle out to him. "If you're planning to be working out you should make sure you stay hydrated, son, you'll do more harm than good if you push yourself too far." Jaune lectured as he flicked his son's forehead.

"He certainly has a good understanding of this." Ozpin smiled. "It's good to see how much mister Arc has grown."

"He certainly has grown a lot." Glynda blushed as she saw Jaune so mature.

Ozpin smirked. "Having fantasies, Glynda?"

Glynda began to blush as she tried to strangle Ozpin, who only laughed at her attempts.

William blushed at being caught doing his secret training, but took the water bottle giving a quiet thank you as he kept his head down staring at the ground in embarrassment. Jaune, noticing his son's embarrassment, let out a deep chuckle before he rubbed his head softly. "Nothing to be embarrassed about William, you want to get stronger, that's perfectly fine. Though you should have come to your mother and I if you wanted to train so badly, it would have been safer that way in case you got hurt."

Yang just had a big loving smile. "I'd be more than happy to help you train sweetie." She blushed when she realized what she said after seeing everyone give her a look. "I… I mean…" she was so embarrassed.

Ruby then smiled. "I think you'd be a great mom, Yang."

Yang blushed even more. "T-thanks sis… and I gotta admit… Jaune is a pretty yangtastic dad and husband." She punned, making everyone groan.

"I take it back." Ruby growled.

William rubbed the back of his head before quietly replying "I wanted to keep it a secret so I could surprise you and mom with how strong I had gotten" Jaune let out a sigh while smiling. He motioned for William to stand up which his son did almost immediately. Jaune held his hands up palms flat facing his son. "Come on then show me what you've got" William took a boxing stance he'd seen on TV and punched with everything he had. Jaune moved his palm out of the way causing him to miss and stumble forward.

William opened his eyes and was met by his father's raised eyebrow. How do you expect to hit anything if your eyes are closed? Remember keep your eyes open, because your opponent won't stand still if they see such an obvious attack coming. Also don't drop your guard when you punch, keep one fist up to protect your face when you swing, any fighter worth their salt will make you pay dearly for a mistake like that. Watch my stance and try to shadow me as best you can. I'll correct you on any mistakes along the way." William nodded excitedly and quickly began copying his father's movements making corrections as he was instructed. This went on for an hour before Jaune told him to stop and copy the stretches he would be shown.

Tai just started laughing his ass off. "That sure takes me back!" He chuckled. "It's like when Yang was that age."

Qrow just chuckled as well. He remembered when he and Ruby would just sit on the porch eating cookies together while watching Yang and Tai spar. Back then, he wanted so badly to tell her she was his daughter. He smiled as he pulled Ruby close, happy she knew now.

Ruby smiled up at him as she hugged him back.

Yang however was busy blushing at her dad's words, but imagined her and Jaune training their kids, making her smile.

After another hour of stretches Jaune sent his son inside to shower while he continued his training. He went through his forms with Crocea Mors feeling his body go into autopilot while his mind wandered. "Maybe it's time I took William to choose his own training weapon. He seems determined enough and he is almost of age to begin training." Jaune's thoughts were interrupted when he had to dodge the haymaker his wife had launched at him while he was distracted. "Good to see you're not too distracted to let a sneak attack through, lover boy. Ready to get some sparring done?" Jaune smiled as he set Crocea Mors off to the side and took his stance. "Come my love, let's see if you manage to pull ahead in wins today."

Everyone just laughed at Yang's antics. This caused Yang to rub the back of her head nervously. Maaaaybe she should tone it down a bit… a tiny bit…. An itsy bitsy teeny tiny bit…

Tai however just smirked at his wife. "She is definitely your daughter."

Raven just blushed hard, but smiled, happy to know how much Yang took after her.

Time skip: 3 weeks later

William woke up to his sister jumping onto him with all her weight while giggling. "Happy Birthday big brother!" shouted Pyrrha at the top of her lungs. William smiled through the pain in his stomach and patted his little sister on the head. It had been three weeks since he started waking up early in the morning to train with his father. He looked at the time and was surprised to see that his father had let him sleep in, before Pyrrha made her presence known again by tapping his forehead. "Hello Remnant to William, is anyone home in there?"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Ruby and Nora cheered happily. Feeling like happy aunts.

The babies couldn't help but join in. "Happy birfday!" They giggled.

This caused many to coo at how cute they were. Ilia scooped up her daughter. "Oh you're so adorable!" She squealed.

Juliet just giggled and hugged her mama tightly.

William rolled his eyes and squashed his sister in a hug, while she tried to escape from the suffocating embrace. This was the sight Yang had walked in on when she had gone to get the two for breakfast. She let out a giggle before getting a mischievous smile, before she ran in and pounced on her children catching them in a surprise hug. "Aww look at my babies getting along so well, how did I get so lucky as to get the both of you" she said as they tried to escape her crushing embrace. Jaune leaned against the doorframe watching the three with his arms crossed and smiling softly.

Yang smiled happily. "Yeah… how did I get so lucky?" She didn't realize she said it outloud however, until she heard everyone laughing.

"Looks like a certain someone wants some kids." Emerald chuckled.

"Planning on corning the guy, blondie?" Mercury laughed

"S-shut up!" Yang shouted with a blush on her face.

Raven however, just pulled Yang into a hug. She was just so happy. "You really are your fathers daughter."

"T-thanks mom…" Yang said with an even bigger blush.

"You three seem to be enjoying yourselves, and here I was waiting for you to join me for the breakfast I slaved over a hot stove to prepare." Jaune said as he wiped away crocodile tears. Pyrrha, being the more gullible of his children, immediately broke out of her mother's arms and ran over hugging her father to get him to stop crying. Jaune smiled and lifted his daughter into a hug, tickling her with his beard as she snuggled into his neck. Yang and William rolled their eyes but got up and followed the two to the dining table that had a stack of pancakes they doubted even Nora could finish on her own.

Nora's eyes went wide at the sight. She began to drool so much, it was like a waterfall coming out of her mouth. "I would love to have a stack of pancakes that big…" she mumbled through the drool.

She could just imagine it. All those delicious pillow-like disks covered in syrup and butter. All for her. It was enough to make her go insane with jealousy. Of course that was William's birthday pancakes. So she wouldn't touch them. She knew where to draw the line.

Yang blinked owlishly at the stack and noticed what looked like a caterer tray of eggs, sausage, and bacon. "Hey babe I know we usually eat a lot, but don't you think this is a bit of overkill?" said Yang with a confused glance at her husband. Jaune instead of answering set Pyrrha down in her usual seat and walked over to the door. He had barely turned the knob when a blur of pink and red crashed through the door sending him to the ground by the door slamming into his face. William was squished between his aunts Ruby and Nora as they hugged him tight enough that he looked to be turning blue.

"Of course the two of you would nearly kill him by hugging him." Weiss said with an eye roll.

Ruby just blushed in embarrassment, while poking her fingers together, while Nora just laughed with pride on giving the best hugs.

Coco smirked. "I'm sure you would too, bun. I know how you gush whenever you see a cute little kid."

"C-coco!" Velvet screamed with embarrassment. "Please stop!"

"What? It's true. I remember this one time you wanted to adopt this kid, even though his mother was right there." Coco chuckled.

Velvet whined. "HE WAS JUST SO CUTE!"

Ren walked through the doorway and helped Jaune off the ground with an apologetic smile that earned a deep full bellied laugh from his blonde team leader. Blake and Weiss walked passed the two giving polite nods as greetings, before making their way over and hugging their niece and nephew as well. "Where are my two grandbabies at?" Tai shouted as he ran in after being nearly tackled by said grandbabies. Qrow walked through sipping on his flask and ruffled the two kids' heads as he made his way to the table to take a seat.

Yang let out a chuckle. "Hehe, if anything, Jaune didn't make enough for the big family that showed up for birthday breakfast."

Everyone else chuckled. "Yeah, he should probably make more." Roman smirked.

"He would probably run out of pancake mix before he has enough." Kali giggled.

Once everyone was seated at the table they all looked to the birthday boy and shouted in unison. "Happy Birthday William!" Which earned them a teary eyed smile from said boy as everyone began digging in to the breakfast laid out before them. Ren and Jaune had to tie Nora to her chair using Blake's ribbon from gamble shroud while Weiss also froze her feet to the ground to keep her from eating all the pancakes which earned a round of laughs from everyone. While the adults had gotten lost in conversation catching up on what was going on in each other's lives William took a plate stacked with a light amount of food and snuck out of the backdoor. He made his way to the tree line before setting the plate on a stump and calling out. "Grandma I know you're there, I saw you sitting in the tree outside our window this morning. Mom and dad didn't see me. It's ok to come out."

Raven was surprised that William could recognize her bird form, as it was something she wasn't used to. Sure, Qrow could figure it out every once in a while. But not often.

Nora stood out of her seat and began yelling. "Don't you dare go trying to eat all of William's special birthday pancakes, other me!" she shouted, surprising everyone who knew her. She then noticed all the looks. "What? I won't eat someone's birthday pancakes. That's rude." she pouted.

William turned to look around and was picked up in a hug by a woman who looked like she could be her mother's twin except with black hair. William smiled and hugged the woman back, tearing up at the fact that she had actually come. "Hello little one, and happy birthday." Raven said as she set him down with a small smile that her grandson returned with a grin that was almost an exact copy of his mother's. Raven ruffled his hair earning a laugh from the young man. Raven noticed the plate and smiled as she picked it up, taking a seat on the stump leaving enough room for William to sit next to her. "So how is the training with your father going? I've noticed you have less mistakes lately."

Tai, Yang, and Raven all smiled at the fact that the other Raven cares for her grandchildren. It made her happy to know that there was another version of her that wanted to be a part of her grandbabies lives.

But then, Raven began to frown. She sighed sadly, thinking about all the mistakes she made. A few tears began to run down her face. She turned to her husband and daughter. "I… I am so sorry…" she said as she hugged them.

Tai smiled as he hugged her back. "It's okay Rae." he smiled. This viewing has had quite the effect on Raven. It was nice to know she wanted to make things right. But he was sad to know just how much she regretted what she did.

William blushed at the praise and scratched the back of his head before looking up at the clouds and smiling. "It's going well. I feel like I've really been getting stronger, and I'm glad he doesn't take it easy on me. When he sees that I leave a big opening he makes me pay for it, or when I fall for a feint and don't put my guard back up in time. It's hard and I've gotten enough bruises that Pyrrha thinks my skin is going to stay permanently purple, but the rush I get when I do something correctly without having to think or when dad praises how much I've improved these last couple weeks is worth it.

Raven smiled and nodded in approval. She could appreciate her grandson's desire to get stronger and was glad it wasn't taking over like it did in her younger days. She smiled when she remembered her son in law hunting down her old bandit group and razing the camp to the ground after he beat her in a duel. She smiled at the words he told her that day.

Raven smirked. "Of course your father is proud! I certainly am!" she proclaimed.

This made Yang smile. She was now starting to wonder just how Raven will be when Fenrir is born. She is probably going to try and be super mom to make up for everything. Yang could help but snicker at the thought of Raven in an apron taking cookies out of the oven.

Flashback

Jaune stood over the probe form of Raven who held her bleeding side from his slash that had shattered her aura. She looked up and came face to face with the tip of his sword, while he looked down at her with deep blue eyes that held an ocean of rage behind them. "Raven Branwen, the so-called Bandit queen and current Spring Maiden. I should kill you for what you did to the village of Ansel you and everyone of your so called family. Yang and Taiyang told me about your beliefs and let me tell you something." Jaune dropped his shield and lifted Raven by her throat with a single hand.

Raven looked down with an uneasy look. Yang noticed this. "What's wrong?"

Raven sighed. "I would be lying if I said I didn't expect him to threaten me. After all… I abandoned my own daughter… his wife… What else could anyone expect from him? He has every right…"

Qrow sighed. He may not have been happy with his sister for leaving after all these years. But it was clear she is hurting.

Those that knew her during Beacon also felt bad. Raven was their friend. Sure they were upset when she just up and disappeared out of thin air, but still.

"You don't know what strength really is. You abandoned your real family years ago because you were scared they would make you weak, but you're nothing but a coward. You ran from them because you were scared to face Salem and used your bandit clan as a convenient cover. I fought Salem and my friends and I defeated her. I defeated everyone of your bandits and now look at you, your life is in my hands. Everyday you live after this remember that the only reason you still live is because of your daughter. Even though you abandoned her she still cries some nights when she thinks she's alone because she just wanted her mother in her life."

Having said his piece Jaune threw her aside and began walking out of the burning camp.

Everyone was stunned at how cold Jaune can be. They never would have thought the goofy blonde knight could be like that. Though a few girls actually found that kinda hot. Such as Neo, and surprisingly Pyrrha.

Raven however, just began to cry. "He was a whole lot kinder than I expected… or deserved…" she whimpered. She then turned to Yang with a determined look on her face while tears ran down her cheeks. "Yang, I expect you to ride that boy till I at least have one grandson and granddaughter to spoil and help train."

Yang was atomic red. "MOM!"

Flashback End

It had been a month after being defeated by Jaune that Raven had disbanded her clan and began watching her daughter and grandchildren again. She smiled at the memories of Yang playing in the yard with them, the smile she had as they picked flowers and brought them to her. She remembered seeing how strong Yang had become when she would spar with her husband. She was pulled from her thoughts when William asked her a question that felt like it squeezed her heart. "Grandma, will you come inside and celebrate with the rest of us?"

Raven smiled. She now fully intended to leave her clan for good. Though she would probably bring Vernal with her. If she was being honest, she always saw Vernal as a daughter. Maybe it was a part of her wishing she stayed with Tai, and felt that it was a chance to have what she threw away.

Just then, a note from Amp appeared, and read as such. "Raven, I already swiped Vernal from the clan and she now knows the plan and agrees with you about leaving. She looks forward to meeting her younger sister and having a sparring match with Tai as she "claims" she will refuse to call a weakling Dad. Your Cousin, Adrian Midnight-Phoenix" Raven smiled a little, hoping things go well when Vernal meets everyone.

William looked up at Raven with a hopeful expression. She gripped her arm and looked between him and the house that was bustling with laughter. "I don't think that's such a good idea, little one. Your parents aren't exactly my biggest fans and I would hate to ruin your special day. You should go back inside and spend time with your family. Don't be like me, I threw away any chance I had at having a relationship with your mother when I abandoned her and Tai years ago."

Yang pulled Raven into a tight hug. "You're welcome to come over and visit any time."

Raven was surprised by this, and began to tear up as she hugged her daughter close. "T-thank you." She managed to say.

Tai smiled and joined the hug. Even kissing the both of them on their foreheads. "My girls. What am I gonna do with you?" He chuckled.

William looked dejected but gave a quiet nod walking back inside to the party. "You can come out, I know you're here, Qrow." Said man stepped out from behind a tree and stared at his sister. "What are you doing here Raven? If you're here to try and recruit the brat so you can rebuild your tribe I'll kill you." Qrow spat out with more venom than Raven had ever heard from her little brother. She let out a sigh and took a seat on the stump before she held her hand out to him expectantly. Qrow gave one more glare before taking a seat with his back to hers handing the flask over quietly.

Raven turned to her brother. "If I ever, EVER, do something so stupid, you have my provision to do that."

Qrow was surprised by that. "Uh… sure thing sis…"

Raven looked the worn dented metal over before seeing the inscription found on the back. 'To the man that flew in and captured my heart, even if you can be a bit bird brained at times. Love your bright eyed rose' Raven let a small smile out at reading the inscription, and the memories of the day Summer excitedly showed her the birthday present she'd gotten for her idiot little brother. A fresh wave of grief clenched her heart at the memory of her deceased team leader and friend turned Sister in law. So many mistakes she'd made in her life revolving around the people she cares about. Raven took a long sip from the flask before handing it back to Qrow who took a sip and ran his thumb over the inscription, feeling the two gold bands he kept on a necklace under his shirt warm up a little.

Qrow smiled at Summer. "And I still have the flask to this day." He said as he pulled it out. It was pretty banged up and tented over the years. But he had held it close to him over the many years.

When he handed it to Summer, tears of joy ran down her cheeks at the knowledge Qrow kept it with him. The tears grew more when she looked at the engraving she left. She tackled him into a hug. "I love you so much, you big bird brain."

Qrow smiled as he hugged her back. "Love you too Shortstack."

"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life Qrow, you know that better than anyone. I won't make the mistake of trying to alienate the only family that still cares about me. William is a good kid, a bit naive and too eager to jump head first into a fight." Qrow let out a snort at the understatement remembering the times the kid would jump in to help anyone or anything that he could. "No, I just came to tell him happy Birthday and give him the gift he asked me for."

Qrow raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her. "What gift would that be?" Raven felt her cheeks redden before she mumbled out her answer. "Speak up Raven, I can't hear you." Qrow said with an eye roll. "He asked to see his grandmother and eat cake with me." Qrow fell to the floor laughing at the absurdity of the request, especially from a kid whose parents are some of the strongest Hunters to ever be born, and an Aunt who could literally buy him a quarter of the city of Mantle.

Raven smiled with tears in her eyes at hearing that's all that her grandbaby wanted for his birthday. To just have his grandmother be there for his party. It made her heart ache to know that even though she had hardly been the best, he wanted her in his life.

Esmeralda smiled at Raven. "You know Raven, Xeno and Hela both want the same thing on their birthdays. Just with June and Salem as well."

This made all three women smile hearing this. And gushed at this fact.

Raven growled and drew her sword smacking Qrow with the hilt before sheathing it and taking a seat with her arms crossed. Qrow rubbed the new lump at the top of his head before he got up and sat again, scratching his ever present stubble. "Well I see you came to visit him, but you haven't completely fulfilled his wish you know. You got to go in and eat cake with him." Raven scoffed and stood to walk away but was stopped by Qrow grabbing her arm and forcefully turning her to face him. Raven was ready to insult him but froze at the look Qrow gave her. "You already fucked up the relationship you had with Tai, and the relationship you could've had with Yang. I'm not letting you screw things up with Will, that kid rarely asks for anything for himself and he wants his family together today so you're going to give it to him or so help me, I'll beat you into the ground and drag you inside that house."

"KICK HER ASS!" Everyone was shocked that it was Raven of all people who shouted this.

Yang leaned over to Ruby. "This is really weird." She whispered.

"No kidding." Ruby whispered back.

The two Branwens glared at each other for what felt like a lifetime, testing to see which would look away first. Unfortunately for her Raven looked away first, yanking her arm free she rubbed her arm and let out a sigh. "You're getting soft little brother, never would think you'd try so hard for anyone but Ruby and Summer." Raven said with a teasing smirk that Qrow scoffed at and turned around walking towards the House. "Don't tell anyone, I gotta keep up my image of a tough as nails Huntsman and cool great Uncle." Raven let out a chuckle as she followed along squaring her shoulders and hardening her resolve for the coming family reunion. Qrow opened the door first and called out to everyone. "Sorry I'm late everyone. I got caught up talking with an old teammate. Someone William wanted to be here today."

Raven took a deep breath and walked through the door.

The screen turned off, and Wolf spoke out. "Welp, that's it for this viewing."

"Aaaaawwww…" Juniper and Eve sighed.

"But I wanted to see more of my grandbabies!" June protested with a whine.

"Yeah, they were soooo cute." Eve said with a big pout.

Meanwhile, Yang just smiled at how Raven gave her baby the present he wanted the most. She pulled her mother into a deep hug for it. Everyone began throwing compliments to Yang for her kids.

Tai smiled. "I'm proud of the mother you became, Yang." He said to his daughter.

Ilia nodded. "Yeah. You were pretty awesome." She then hoped she could be just as good of a mother for Juliet.

Just as Wolf was about to get up, he got a new note from Amp. He decided to read it aloud.

Dear Raven,

I would normally kidnap you but I fear you using Raven's flame in my library...again. So instead I am sending you this letter to ask for you to come to my realm for a little bit. You will learn more about the sword you made with me as well as how to awaken the spirit within. It is not a fragment of you but a fragment of both of us as we both put ourselves into your blade. So cousin would you like to come and learn more about your sword and what secrets it holds?

Signed your cousin

Adrian Midnight-Phoenix

P.S.

You would also be helping Cinder return after she is done here. Currently she is both getting to know her sister and cousins...Rouge has taken to dressing Cici up in anything cute she can with Cici calling her big sis, go figure. As well as learning some basics of the Phoenix Family Fire Magic that I have to teach her unless you want her losing control and setting her hair on fire when angry. In other words Cinder is not going to be able to stand without help when she comes back, Raven.

Raven was surprised by this, and blinked once, twice, three times, before giving a sigh. "Aright." she agrees. Just then, she disappeared.

Meanwhile, girls in the Harem take Yang, Blake, Saphron, and Terra to explain the situation to them.

"Um… what's going on guys?" Yang asked as she saw all the girls looking at her, Blake and the Cotta-Arc couple funny.

Pyrrha just decided to say it. "As the four of you also have feelings for Jaune like us, we wanted to offer a chance to share."

"E-excuse me?" Terra asked with a blush.

Yang wasn't much better. "A-and by share you mean…"

"That we can all be with Jaune at the same time, so no one has to feel bad about hurting the others feelings." Ruby spoke up.

Yang was blushing even harder. But a part of her was happy, as this meant she could be with Jaune, without stealing Ruby's first crush.

"Alright." Saphron smiled.

"Saphron?!" Terra squealed.

"What? We were hoping to share him with each other. What's it matter if we have a few more?"

Terra blushed harder. "I… I guess…"

Blake was having a nosebleed the whole time while her ears twitched. "I'm in." She replied.

Ruby turned to her sister. "What about you Yang?"

Yang looked away stroking her hair. "O-okay…"

This made Ruby smile as she glomped Yang tighty. "Great!"

Yang smiled and hugged baback. Though this was still super awkward for her. They soon all returned to the theater. When they got back, they noticed Tai was gone. "Uh… where's dad?" Yang asked.

"Ah, well I guess Amp kidnapped him too." Wolf shrugged as he was playing a handheld game system.

"Wait, seriously?!" Yang asked in surprise.

"YeP." Wolf replied with a pop of his P. "Also, Amp sent more videos or something." He said as he focused on his game. The screen then turned back on.

A Black Phoenix holding a Green Shield is seen on the screen with the caption "Phoenix Warehouse Productions security tape."

Static is seen on the screen.

The screen opens onto Adrian's office with Cinder and Amber sitting in front of their father's desk looking away from each other and looking nervous.

Es smiled seeing her babies about to see their father again after so long.

"They are looking a little nervous there." Eve spoke as she noticed their expressions.

"Well they haven't seen him since childhood. Or at least… their version of him. I'm sure Amber won't even recognize him." Es spoke up.

Amber is wearing tan pants, a white shirt, and brown work boots.

Coco began foaming at the mouth at those hideous clothes. "W-what the hell is she wearing?!" Coco shouted.

Velvet sighed. "Damn it Coco…"

Cici is wearing her butterfly dress.

Adrian is nowhere to be seen.

"I'm sorry," Cinder mumbles.

No one understood her, save for the faunus in the room.

Amber looks at her startled.

"I'm sorry I forgot you. I'm sorry I attacked you. I'm sorry I HURT you," Cici, and this is pure Cici, states with tears coming out of her eyes.

Es began to cry for her babies. It hurt her to know what happened between them. It broke her heart into tiny pieces.

Amber sighs, "I know you went power mad and forgot me due to an injury. So I really shouldn't be mad at you Cici, but a part of me is angry that you went from the sweet little girl who would bring home an injured baby rabbit to a cold bitch who killed for power."

"Yeah… I'm not gonna lie, that is kind of a really big contrast." Yang cringed a little.

"Seriously. Going from cute and loves bunnies, to murder your own sister for power. Kind of… yeah…" Maria sighed as she shook her head.

Floppsy however just huffed at her Cici being called a bitch.

Cici starts crying more hearing that her sister, her best friend as a child, is angry with her.

"But I blame Salem and Ozpin more for that than you. Salem became too dependent on Ozpin, and when he was brought back he just made bad choices. They are to blame for what you became Cici, not you." Amber states while staring at her sister.

Ozpin and Salem weren't too fond of being the ones blamed.

Wolf then spoke up. "I more blame the nut job woman who "took her in" before Salem did when she was just a little girl. Seriously, who straps a shock collar disguised as a necklace on a little girl and let's their daughters bully said girl?" Wolf asked.

Everyone looked at Wolf with a "what the fuck" face. They did not expect to hear that. Es then looked at Wolf with a murderous glare, as shadows began to come off her body. What?" She growled.

"Oh don't get your panties in a bunch. Cinder killed them. Also as a little girl. Then Hazel found her and brought her to Salem. When she moved in, Salem got her little shark pajamas." Wolf told her.

Again, they were all surprised to hear that Cinder, as a little girl, killed people. Sure they abused and practically enslaved her. But still. No wonder she was so messed up and obsessed with power. She probably didn't want to feel powerless ever again.

Meanwhile, Salem just smiled. "She was so cute in those. I still have so many pictures." She then pulled out a picture of little Cinder in a shark costume…. While running around with a lit lighter. Emerald blushed seeing Cinder look so cute.

(Yes I am keeping that somewhat Canon. Just having Cinder be younger when she killed them for shark suit Cinder. If that makes it worse for you, meh.)

"That's good that you see it that way Amber, as you're going to help Cici and the Arc's with fixing that mess when you go home." Adrian says as he walks into his office while carrying a couple leather bound books in his arms.

Coco began to foam even worse when she saw Adrian. Everyone was surprised. But then they looked to Adrian, then back at Coco. They realized it was because he was wearing his hat and his flannel shirt. Only now the shirt was unbuttoned showing a white sleeveless shirt, as well as his worn black jeans and his boots. Everyone just sighed at her.

Velvet most of all. "Coco, you make it so hard to be friends with you when you pull this kind of stuff…"

"I know I asked this before, but who the HELL are you?" Asks a VERY confused Amber, as she was asleep every time Adrian was on screen.

Es was now confused. "Why wouldn't she recognize him? Cinder had a reason. What about her? Besides, shouldn't she have seen him on screen at the Arc house?"

Wolf decided to answer. "Well she was just a kid when she last saw you. So of course her memory of you would be a little fuzzy. As for the second thing, either she was asleep, or in a different room every time he was on screen." He shrugged.

"Thats a dumb excuse…" Es huffed.

"Bebe, that's Daddy," says Cici as she stares at her father for the first time in close to fourteen years.

Amber goes wide eyed hearing this before glaring at Adrian. "Where the fuck where you when mom died, and I was told Cici died?! Where were you when Mama Autumn died and left me her fucking CURSE?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I-WHEN I NEEDED YOU?!"

"Why would she see it as a curse?" Ozpin asked.

Es slapped him upside the head. "You made it so the vaults could only be opened by the maidens. Kind of why she was hunted dumb ass."

Ozpin rubbed the back of his head. "It was a good idea at the time. A normal lock could just be broken. And Salem is far more powerful than I was when making the locks. So it would have been impossible to make a normal magical lock she could not break as well. I didn't have many options. And it was actually the first maidens that suggested it."

"Oh sure, blame me and the girls who you gave magic too." Salem huffed.

"Are you really playing the victim? After you were plotting to literally destroy the world over a messy divorce?" Ozpin asked her incredulously. Salem just huffed more.

"Trapped in this realm between realms," Adrian states while looking only at the covers of the books in his arms. "Trapped and alone for over a million years off losing my mind snapping back to sanity and repeating the cycle till I became a God."

Everyone cringed hearing what it took for Amp to become a God. Summer looked to Es. "When exactly did it happen?"

Es sighed. "The same week you died…" This made Summer cringe.

"Jeez, does everything with your husband have to be depressing?" Wolf sighed.

"Well excuse me. How did you become a god exactly?" Es growled.

Wolf then made a soda appear. "I woke up one day… *sips* and I found that I was a god." he replied in an uninterested tone.

"Seriously?" Es asked with a raised brow.

"Well excuse me. But not everyone has to be a reincarnation of a god, or go through a cycle of sanity and insanity, sometimes it's just cosmic bullshit." Wolf responded.

Amber looks down hearing where her father had been when she needed him.

Cici, with tears in her eyes, gently takes the books from her father's hands before hugging him. As she hugs him tightly she breaks down crying about how she wishes she could remember him, Bebe, and Mama in broken sobs.

Salem had tears falling, but didn't notice. She was more focused on her thoughts. "I will do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen again."

Ozpin raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

She then glared at him. "I will make sure my descendants are safe since you can't."

Ozpin was surprised by this, before sighing. "You can't honestly be blaming me? I knew just as much as you did about us having descendants. So don't try and blame me for this."

Salem just huffed and turned away from him.

"Amber, while I AM a version of your father, remember that the version from your world died the same moment I was trapped here." Adrian tells his children while he gently rubs the top of Cinder's head.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Amber asks.

Everyone else was also wondering what he meant as well. It seemed a little weird that it had happened at the same time.

"One version of me was blasted into an empty dimension in a Dust explosion. At the same time across the multiverse, all versions of Adrian Midnight-Phoenix died. That unique happening is what allowed me to become a God equal to your mother and uncle." Adrian tries to explain, "I was mortal till being trapped here."

Yang's eyes turned. "You mean he had to die all across the multiverse and go insane just to become a damn god?!" she shouted in anger.

Summer, among others, felt sad for her "brother" for having to go through all that.

"How did it happen daddy?" Cinder asks looking up from where her face had been planted in her father's stomach.

"Personally I blame that asshole we call Gol, your uncle." Adrian says while sighing. "Now let's talk about why I actually brought you girls here."

Es trembled with both anger and fear. Shadows began to spread from her body like tendrils. She hated her brother so much. But… after everything he had done to her, she was too scared to even think about doing something against him.

Adrian gently gets Cinder to let go of him and sets her back into her chair. Amber looks on with tears in her eyes knowing that her father, even if he wasn't the one from her world, didn't leave her willingly and it was only due to her Uncle that her parents were taken from her and her sister.

Adrian walks around the desk and sits down in his chair, before grabbing the books he brought in with him.

"Amber this journal was written byva previous Fall Maiden, who wrote about her experience with it. It includes all the tricks and spells she found and discovered." Adrian says as he hands Amber a well worn brown leather bound journal that had flaps to keep the journal bound and safe from water.

Everyone was shocked at this. While Ozpin was a mix of emotions. Mainly mainly amazement and horror.

On one hand, he thought it was good that a Fall Maiden tried to help successors. On the other hand, it could be dangerous if that got into the wrong hands, as it could contain every secret to the maidens.

Amber goes wide eyed and holds the journal as though it could answer all the questions she ever had about being one of the Four Maidens. "Thank you daddy."

"Your welcome Cowgirl," Adrian tells his little girl, calling her his personal nickname for her.

Es calmed down a bit hearing him call their daughter that, and even began laughing. "He always called Amber Cowgirl. It started after she started begging for a horse when she was three." She said with a smile, remembering such a happier time. Hearing this caused the other parents to grin and laugh and comment on how cute that must have been.

They remembered when their kids did cute stuff. Ghira and Kali remembered finding Blake playing with a fish chew toy. Just biting down on it for hours while purring.

Tai would remember Ruby somehow got inside the cookie jar as an infant. Literally. She was sitting inside it while eating cookies. He would later find out Yang had helped her. Those were good times.

Amber hearing the nickname she hasn't heard in thirteen long years starts crying. She gets up and walks around the desk before hugging Adrian and sobbing into his shoulder just saying Daddy over and over again.

Adrian just rubs her back while Cinder looks on with tears in her eyes, and a smile on her face knowing that Amber is slowly going to get better now.

Qrow gave a small chuckle. He was hoping Amber might actually start to open up more. Winter looked at him with a raised brow when she saw his smile. "What are you smiling about?"

Qrow gave a small chuckle. "Well, it took a year for her to actually talk to me. She was always afraid of hurting someone with her powers. It then took another year for her to actually think of me as a friend." Everyone was surprised by this. A few would be even more so by what he would say next. "Kinda felt bad for the kid. Losing her adoptive mother and getting wrapped up in all this. Kinda why I wanted to do what I could to help." He sighed.

Es smiled as she hugged him. "Thank you." This was why she wanted him as the godfather.

After a few minutes Adrian manages to get Amber to calm down and back into her own seat.

"Cinder this journal, took me a while to track down." Adrian states while holding a brown leather that has a cutting of a bird on the cover.

Es gasped seeing this. "It… can't be…" she muttered. Everyone was super confused. They wondered what she was talking about. But figured they would find out.

"Why did you look for that journal for so long Daddy?" Cinder asks while cocking her head to the side cutely.

"This journal was written by my mother. It is not only her journal but her personal Grimoire. It is her spell book that contains every spell that her mother taught her and that she made." Adrian says while holding the journal gently in his hands. "I was supposed to start learning not only to read from this book but to learn to control my magic. I want you to study the first couple exercises in the journal as they will prevent you from suffering magic saturation like I do."

Everyone was surprised to hear that it was his mother's journal. Though Salem was surprised to hear it was a Grimoire. "My… my father had killed so many families, just to get his hands on their Grimoires."

"Why the hell would he do that?" Coco asked, shocked someone would go through all that trouble for a book.

Ozpin decided to explain. "Grimoires usually contained some of the most powerful and ancient spells. Normally only the oldest and strongest families would be in possession of one." This surprised people even further.

"Well that Grimoire would be more like a children's book back in the old days." Es shrugged. Many who weren't around in the magic age found it odd to have something like that be for children.

"I-i will Daddy," Cinder says while staring wide eyed at all that remains of her family's spells. Before she gets a confused look on her face. "Daddy, you said we were the Phoenix Clan. But Mama said that we were the Elements Clan. Which is right?"

Everyone else was also a little curious about that little detail as well. Not to mention confused.

"Both are right," Adrian says with a smile. "The Element Clan after splitting into four families decided that to keep the peace, the clan headship would go from one Family to the next. Our Clan took the name of the current Heads Family."

Salem and Ozpin found that interesting. Though they wondered why the Elements were split off into four minor clans, instead of being able to use all of them like the maidens could. Or like they could. Guess magic had just gotten weaker through the generations.

"How was the next head chosen then?" Amber asks, trying to figure out how that could work.

"The previous head would take three apprentice's, one from each of the other families and train them in the magic of not only their family but the others. To be Clan Head you had to be able to use spells of all elements, not just the hereditary ones." Adrian states. "Some could handle it better than others, while some just learned the bare minimum. Your grandmother learned the bare minimum and listed them in that journal for the next head to learn."

Es decided to throw in her two cents. "And if all candidates were equal. They would simply duel for it." Everyone was surprised that that was how one of the clans prevented a power struggle.

Cinder looks at the journal even more shocked as the journal contains not only fire magic like she thought but spells from every element that a magic user can tap into.

Salem had a curious expression. "Is it at all possible for me to take a look?"

Es just started cackling like a hyena. "None of the other families shared their grimoire. You may be their ancestor, but don't get your hopes up." Salem pouted at this.

"Now let's go practice these spells and exercises before your next surprise, alright girls?" Adrian asks with a smile on his face.

"Ok Dad/Daddy," the twins say at the same time.

The screen goes black.

After the screen turned black, Raven, Tai and Cinder came back. Cici ran over to Es. "Save me from those two weirdos!"

"What's wrong?" Es asked.

"Just look at them!" Cici shouted, pointing at Tai and Raven.

Raven was blushing and giggling while clinging to Tai. I honestly was kinda weird to see Raven Branwen of all people giggling like a schoolgirl while clinging lovingly to Tai.

Cici was beyond creeped out, and while she had brought cakes and cupcakes for everyone, she was far too nervous from the loving couple to focus on this.

Which was a shame, since she helped her father, Sally, Gwen and Lumiere make them.

A Black Phoenix holding a Green Shield is seen on the screen with the caption Phoenix Warehouse Productions security tape.

Static is seen on the screen.

Amber and Cici are seen walking with Sally down a wooden hallway with a burgundy carpet running down the middle.

Sally is currently wearing a vintage maids outfit, with a skirt that goes to her ankles, black shoes that have been polished to a mirror shine, and her hair is up in a bun.

Salem had a blush on her face seeing a version of her dressed like that. Ozpin coughed into his fist and masterfully hid the blush on his face.

Cici however knew what this was and was dreading it. She was even shaking nervously in her seat.

"It's so nice to have you girls staying with us," Sally says with a smile on her face.

"It's nice being here and seeing Daddy and learning more about him and Grandma Dawn," Cici says while hugging her grandma's diary to her chest.

"I find it strange that Dad took you in, Ma'am," Amber says while looking at Sally with a bit of unease in her eyes.

Salem pouted at this. Sure she sent Cinder after her, but still. She didn't like having one of her grandbabies look at a version of her like that.

Salem sighs before saying, "your father took me from my world and told me I was to make up for what I had done. All the lives that I took in my "War" with Ozma. Can't even honestly call it a war. It was just an argument that went out of hand and led to the MESSIEST divorce in history."

Ozpin and Salem blushed as everyone just gave them the look of agitation for how far that had taken things.

Ozpin cleared his throat. "In my defense, she attacked first."

"Oh do not give me that!" Salem shouted. "You're the one who decided to leave with the kids in the middle of the night!"

"But I'm not the one who decided we should be the new gods of the world, and wage war with whoever doesn't see us as such." Ozpin countered.

"You went along with being gods!"

"Until it got to the part where we commit genocide on people for not seeing us as gods just for having magic. And kept going when I asked you to stop."

"Oh yes. Telling me the reason you came back was soooo definitely asking me to stop." Salem growled as she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"At least I'm not the one that basically ended up destroying all life on the planet thinking it's a good idea to wage war on LITERAL gods. Just because you couldn't get over the fact I died." Ozpin told her.

"Are you seriously complaining about me trying to bring you back to life?!" Salem shouted.

"And then being turned to dust. Then brought back. Then turned to dust. Over and over with the gods having a childish argument. Only for them to agree for me to stay dead just because Esmeralda got jealous you went to her brother first." He retorted, making Es sweat nervously and began whistling a little tune.

"Well I wanted to make them pay! I mean not only did they do that, but made it so I could never see you again!" Salem shouted.

"And it meant every man, woman and child was reduced to dust because of it!" Ozpin snapped.

Everyone's expressions changed to that of discomfort. Es especially, as she was very nervous now. As she was basically a part of this whole mess.

Kali leaned over to Willow. "This is really weird…"

"I can't help but agree…" Willow nodded.

It was really weird for everyone to see just how much the war for the fate of the planet was basically just a very… VERY nasty divorce.

"Have the two of you ever considered couples therapy?" Wolf suggested.

"Believe it or not, yes. Several times." Ozpin replied. "Of course it normally ended with her feeding the therapist to grimm."

"They were getting way too out of line and personal and you know it Ozma!" Salem shouted. "Plus I didn't like how that one was ogling me!"

"We have been over this several dozen times. They are therapists. They are supposed to get personal. That's part of their job. And what person wouldn't ogle the bleach white, black veined, black and red eyed woman with her hair done to look like a spider?" Ozpin asked her.

"Shut up!"

Wolf sighed. "I swear, I have half a mind just to lock you two in a room together and MAKE you talk it out. Hell, I don't care if you have to fuck just to blow off some steam to ease the fucking tension. I am getting annoyed with you two bitching over who's fault it is."

Ozpin and Salem blushed at what he had just said and stayed quiet.

Wolf let out another sigh. "Honestly, your fued is almost as dumb as the emu war from my world."

"The what?" Weiss asked with a raised brow.

"Basically the country of Australia declared war on their national bird, the emu, basically a large flightless bird, for eating all their crops. And they lost. Humiliatingly." Wolf explained.

This explanation made everyone shocked at how stupid that sounded. So much so some of them thought he was making it up, while Ozpin and Salem felt embarrassed at having their conflict compared to that.

"Oh?" Cici asks while cocking her head to the side.

"What do you mean?" Amber asks at the same time.

"Your father brought me here and put me to work. I gave him problems and grieve till I discovered this," Sally says as the stop next to a tapestry hanging in the hallway.

On the tapestry is a complete family tree going from Salem and Ozma down to each of the living Arc's, Goodwitch's, and Phoenix Family Members.

"May I have a copy of that?" Salem asked, wanting a full list of her grandbabies.

"Us too." Nick and Juniper spoke up simultaneously. Just then, the three of them got a copy of their family tree.

"I demanded answers from your father when I found this and discovered he was of my blood." Sally states while looking at the tapestry with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. "After that I TRIED to do better by him. But I was still set in my ways."

"How long have you been here with Daddy then, Granny Sally?" Cici asks.

"I have lived in this realm and looked after your father for close to...five thousand years now." Sally says after a moment of thought. "I have however called him my son for only two thousand years. And while he might not act it in public, he does treat me more like a mother than anything when it is just family here."

Everyone was shocked by how long Sally had refused to leave after finding out she has family, as well as how long she and Adrian have had a mother son relationship. It was honestly… bizarre to say the very least.

Sally then motions them to continue walking with her. They walk in silence for another three minutes before coming to a door.

"Now Cici I know your father split you into your good and evil sides. And you're probably wondering if you're the first he did this too, correct?" Sally asks.

"I...I didn't till you said something Granny," Cici says now looking thoughtful.

Cici began to shiver nervously at this. Salem saw this and raised a brow. "What is it?"

Cici just remained silent. She knew it was going to show her anyway. Though her silence made Salem feel uneasy.

"Behind this door is the first person he used the Soul Splitter on. She...she never recovered from the spell, dearies." Sally says sadly, "and that was mainly because it was the first time your father tried the spell."

"Who was she?" Amber asks, wondering if it was another version of her sister behind the door.

"Her name, like my own, is Sally." Sally states, "your father always calls a Good version of us as Sally, while he calls our evil selfs 'Crazy Bitch'."

Salem raised a brow. "Which one does he call me?"

Es then spoke up. "He hasn't really decided yet which one you would be." She explained, making Salem confused.

Both girls go wide at that. To know that there is another Sally living in the Warehouse and that their dad calls all good versions of Salem by a nickname.

Sally opens the door and the girls look inside, seeing an innocent Sally wearing a white sundress playing with dolls, while on the wall they see a glass case locked containing a single doll that looks like Salem wearing all black beating on the glass trying to get loose.

Everyone was shocked, and a little creeped out by what they were seeing. Not just the evil doll trying to break loose. But also the fact that seeing Salem of all people, even another version of her, was acting like a child wearing a sundress and playing with dolls.

"Okay, that's creepy as hell." Coco spoke out.

Eve whimpered. "That's why I always feel uncomfortable near that room. Gives me the creeps…" Jackie patted her back.

"Your father couldn't put the soul back together. So he let her live here. Sally doesn't like to leave her rooms and likes to play with her dolls nearly the entire time she is awake." Sally, the maid, states sadly. "Crazy Bitch was locked in that case after she kept trying to kill Sally and claim the body as her own."

"By the Brothers," Amber swears. "And that's what he did to Cici?"

Everyone was beyond pissed at that, save for Wolf, Es and Cici. "How could he have tried that on his own daughter?!" asked a pissed off Juniper. No parent should do that to their kids.

"Calm down Juniper. It will explain." Es insisted.

"No, your father perfected the spell before attempting it on any version of you girls." Sally stated as she slowly closed the door. "Your father tried to help other versions of me like he is with you Cici. It didn't always work, and some went back to their old ways. He tried a different approach with me and I refused to leave."

Es laughed hearing this, as she remembered something funny. "I remember she took over the Master Bedroom. Then she told Adrian 'There is nothing that will make me leave my son when he still needs me'." she said, doing her best Salem impression.

"H-hey! I don't sound like that!" Salem huffed.

"Yes, you do." Ozpin smirked.

"Granny, where are you taking us anyway?" Cici asks while looking at the once again blank walls that only had doors with no marking on them.

"I am taking you to the next part of your surprise while you girls are here." Sally states while double checking which door they are at.

"Can you give us a hint as to what it is then?" Amber asks.

Sally smiles before saying, "your father is keeping a promise to you two."

Es sighed. "Definitely relatives. Just like the Arc's, Adrian ALWAYS kept his promises to his family and friends." she said with a small chuckle.

This made the Arc's smile, and caused Cici to frown at not having lived up to her dad's example. Cindy however… "Pfft! Keeping promises is for the weak." only to get a boot to the head.

Amber and Cici look at each other confused for a moment not knowing what she could mean.

"Ah here we are," Sally says as they are at the correct door. "Let's go in shall we?"

Sally then opens the door to reveal the living room of a small house in Vale.

Es started to tear up seeing the house. It brought back a lot of old memories.

The room isn't the biggest but you can tell the family that lives here was happy. A well worn couch against a wall with a small reading chair next to. A small table in front of the couch with scuff marks that look like someone with boots is always putting their feet up on it. A tv and game system across from the couch that looks like the players just threw down the controllers and ran from the room.

Amber starts to cry seeing this room.

"Bebe, what's wrong?" Cici asks worriedly for her sister to start crying all of a sudden.

Everyone was confused why Amber was crying, only to see Es was crying as well. It left them even more confused.

Many in the theater looked at each other, wondering if they had an idea. But no one could figure it out. So they figured it would just explain anyway. So they might as well wait.

"Cici...this is our house." Amber states while looking at the couch seeing an image of their dad sitting there with his feet on the table and a can of soda in his hand as he watches her and Cici play video games with a smile on his face. Then looks at the chair to see a glimpse of their mother there reading one of her romance books. And finally she looks to the game controller seeing an image of Cici holding a controller out asking without words if she wants to play too.

Everyone couldn't help but smile at Amber's memories of happy times in the living room.

Cici however began to pout. "Amber was always better than me at games…" she huffed while crossing her arms.

Es began to laugh as she glomped her daughter. "You're remembering more of your childhood!" she squealed happily.

"M-Mama!" Cici whined as she was having a hard time breathing.

Yang, Ruby, Weiss, and Winter however just chuckled about the fact that apparently Cinder never won at video games against her sister. As gamers, they found it kinda funny.

"Your right Amber, this is your parents house in Vale." Sally says sadly. "Your father created this house for you girls to stay in for the next few days."

"This is our house?" Cici asks, stunned to hear that for the first time she can remember, she is home.

Es smiled as she hugged her daughter. "That house is still out there sweetie. Just waiting for you two to find it."

Cici smiled, wondering if her and Amber should look for it together.

"Now how about I show you girls a spell your mother taught me," Sally says, sensing Adrian behind the door.

Cici's smile then immediately faded upon hearing this, as she then had a nervous look. Her face went pale as sweat began trickling down her body.

"What spell is that?" Cici asked, already eager to learn more magic.

"Bunny Mode," Sally says with a smirk making Amber look confused while Cici goes wide eyed.

Salem immediately tackled Es' legs. "You have to teach me that spell!" She demanded in a pleading tone.

Es just laughed at this. "Weeeeell… I'll think about it." She said with a smirk.

Before either girl can say anything Sally has covered the girls in shadows.

Amber is the first to be revealed as she is now five years old, wearing kids cowboy boots, brown shorts, a white t-shirt and a plaid shirt unbuttoned over it just like her Dad. Her hair is down to her shoulders and pulled into a simple ponytail.

All the mothers cooed at how cute she was, while Coco was torn as while she looks cute in the clothes, the clothes themselves look horrible to her.

Es just chuckled. "She was always a daddy's girl. Always dressing up like him and copying him."

Cici is revealed next, wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, and her hair down to her shoulders in a french braid.

Salem pulled Cici into a tight hug, and wouldn't let go. "You were so cute as a child!" She squealed.

"G-granny!" Cici whined.

June giggled at this. "She really was. Reminds me of all my girls at that age. All so adorable."

"Yeah. I remember Yang and Ruby always holding hands and playing together. So cute." Summer giggled.

Willow sighed. "The girls were cute too… even if they never got a chance to enjoy their childhood…" she pouted.

"Mom/mother!" Their daughters shouted in embarrassment.

Cici was blushing and trying to hide in her hair, as she was not comfortable with all this.

"Who are you?" Bebe asks with Cici hiding behind her twin shyly.

Es squealed. "Oh that takes me back. You always hid behind your big sister like that."

Winter, Saphron and Yang smirked. "Well duh. It's our job as big siblings to watch out for our baby sibs." Yang explained. The other too nodded.

"Exactly. I'd be a very bad older sister if I didn't." Winter nodded.

Both Ruby and Weiss blushed hard. Weiss was also wondering if she was a bad big sister for Whitley.

"She is your Grandma, girls," Adrian says walking out of his and Es' room. "She came to visit and spend tomorrow with us while your mom is in Atlas visiting a sick friend of ours."

"GRANDMA!" Both girls shout as they tackle-hug Sally, making her fall over while laughing.

Salem smiled seeing that at least one version of her gets tackle hugs. She was honestly really jealous of her counterpart, thinking it wasn't fair.

Meanwhile, Ozpin looked stunned, as he was having a hard time believing what he was seeing, that Salem was actually laughing at being knocked over by her grandbabies. It was… surreal to say the least. The same thing went through the heads of many people. Seeing the queen of the Grimm laughing and happily playing with little kids.

"SHE'S GONNA BE AT OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?!" Cici shouts excitedly.

"Yep, her, my aunt's and uncle's and all your cousins you haven't met yet." Adrian says with a smile and laughs at how sweet and innocent his girls are.

"What does that mean?" Nick asked, confused by what Amp was talking about.

"Oh, Amp invited your and June's parents and the kids to the party, and used bunny Mode on the girls." Wolf explained.

June's eyes went wide. "W-wait… so my daughters have been turned into little girls again… And I didn't get to be there to enjoy it?" she asked with a dark look in her eyes.

"Yep." Wolf simply replied, knowing where this was going.

June gripped her chair arms tightly, and then broke them off. She was going to kill that bastard for denying her a chance to see her babies again.

"Wait, if she is our Grandma why haven't we met her before?" Bebe asks.

"Because your father and I had an argument years ago. And when adults argue, girls, they can do silly things like stop talking to each other for years." Sally says saving Adrian from making up an excuse.

Salem sighed. Maybe she and Ozpin should have just done that instead of some stupid war.

"That's silly, if me and Bebe got into a fight we would still be best friends...right?" Cici asks Bebe, looking nervous.

Everyone was shocked by how nervous Cici was asking her sister if they will always be friends, before remembering what happened when they didn't recognize each other. It caused a lot of them to cringe a bit. Knowing that it didn't go well.

Cici just looked down sadly, feeling guilty for what she had done, and wished she could take it all back.

"Best friends, forever and always." Bebe answers before hugging her sister.

Everyone smiled at how easily Bebe answered, and how close the sister's were as children. Salem however, just felt awful, knowing that she made her grandbabies break a childhood promise like that. She wished she could have done something different. Then again, she had a lot of regrets in her long life.

"Well girls, what do you want for dinner?" Adrian asks the girls.

After a whispered conversation between the two they answer at the same time, "SLOPPY JOES!"

Cici licked her lips happily. "Daddy's Sloppy Joes are the best!"

Roman shrugged. "Eh, they are good, but they don't beat my mother's cooking."

Nick smirked. "My old man's cooking is far better."

"I don't know, there was a reason we had Tai make all the team meals." Summer giggled.

"Because the three of you couldn't cook to save your lives." Tai replied.

"Hey!" The rest of STRQ replied.

"Alright I think I can manage that," Adrian says before turning to Sally. "You want to give me a hand Mama?"

Salem blushed at hearing him call her that, while a few other people chuckled hearing Amp call her that.

"Did a grown man seriously just call her mama?" Coco snickered.

"I don't think I can ever take him seriously again!" Yang said through her laughter.

Salem and Es just gave them a glare, while Cici snuggles up to Salem. "I also loved Granny's cooking too!" Salem smiled at her beloved granddaughter, and hugged her

Sally smiles and nods her head with tears in her eyes, unable to say anything due to how happy she is to have a family again.

The Arc's and Glynda all silently agreed they are going to try to have Salem be a part of their lives. If just Amp could make that Salem be like that, then all of them could likely make sure Salem would no longer cause any destruction.

Meanwhile, Juliet crawled over to Salem, and tugged on her black dress. "Oh? Well what have we here?" Salem asked as she scooped the little girl then began tickling heher. Causing the baby to giggle cutely.

Static is seen on the screen.

A Black Phoenix holding a Green Shield is seen on the screen with the caption Phoenix Warehouse Productions security tape.

"Wait, this is a security tape? How are we seeing this?" Ruby asked. She was honestly kinda confused with a few others.

"Oh well, Emily and Elizabeth sent a few videos as well. This is just one of them." Es explained.

"And they sent… a security tape?" Winter asked with a raised brow.

"Yes." Es nodded with a smile.

Static is seen on the screen.

Raven is seen walking into Adrian's library, currently she is wearing red and black silk pajamas and black slippers. Her hair is still wet from a shower.

Tai then let out a wolf whistle. This caused Raven to sport a massive blush that took up her face. "TAI!" she shouted as she slapped his arm.

"I can't help it Rae. You are just too beautiful for me not to." Tai said with a grin, making Raven blush even harder.

Yang jokingly made a gagging noise at how her parents were acting. No kid wanted to watch their parents like this. But… she was happy seeing them happy together.

Summer meanwhile was laughing uncontrollably. "I-I had no idea you had pajamas like that Raven!" She said through her laughter.

Raven had an embarrassed blush. "F-featherbrain gave them to me, damnit!"

"Where is that feathered fool?" Raven asks herself aloud.

Es gave a chuckle. "Honestly, that has to be the nicest thing any version of you has called him."

Everyone else gave a chuckle at that fact, while Raven just blushed hard.

She spends the next few minutes looking for Amp before finally finding him sleeping on a stone bench built into the wall of a back corner of the room.

Adrian is wearing his black cowboy boots, a pair of well worn jeans, and a sleeveless shirt. He currently has his cowboy hat covering his eyes as he sleeps.

Es and Cici couldn't help but smile seeing him. Es because she always loved seeing her husband, and Cici because she enjoyed spending time with her daddy. And hoped to do it again very soon.

Coco however was still trying to keep herself from dying of a heart attack seeing that abomination of an outfit. She kept taking deep breaths hoping it would help. Suddenly a paper bag appeared, and so she breathed into it.

Wolf deadpanned at her. "You fucking drama queen." Everyone agreed. None more so than Velvet. You'd think she would have been used to it by now.

Raven stops and looks at her cousin for a moment before kicking him in the leg.

Cici gasped as she looked at Raven. "You woke him up? How are you not DEAD?!" This stunned everyone before Es explained.

"My husband has trouble sleeping, so when we do find him asleep, we leave him alone." This surprised everyone to hear that.

"Wake up, I have a few questions I need you to answer." She states gruffly.

"The fuck Rae, it couldn't wait till morning?" Adrian asks as he lifts his hat to show a blank looking face, but pissed eyes.

Es and Cici both screamed at this. "DUCK AND COVER!" They both shouted before jumping behind the seats. The babies laughed at how silly they were being.

"Hehe, sissy silly." Chance giggled as he clapped at her.

Meanwhile, everyone else was worried about how angry Amp is when woken up if that's how they react.

Raven raises an eyebrow seeing that Adrian only shows his emotions through his eyes.

"It took some getting used to reading his eyes to tell his emotions." Raven sighed with a shrug.

Tai laughed a bit at this. "You should have tried playing him in poker. He has a horrible poker face." he said with a smirk.

"Why did you really bring me here Adrian? It couldn't be because you wanted to teach me about my sword," Raven states.

"I brought you here so you can meet your goddaughter, as well as spend time with Tai." Adrian states gruffly. "Also I see you enjoyed finding him in your room."

Raven had a massive blush on her face at this.

Tai chuckled as he pulled Raven close. "I know you definitely enjoyed it a lot. Didnt you, Rae?"

Raven snuggled up against him with her face as red as a cherry. "M-maybe..."

Yang began to turn green at this. Meanwhile, Ruby was shaking her head in disgust with her hands on her ears. "EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!" she shrieked.

"Shut up!" Raven yells with a blush.

Everyone laughed at how flustered she was getting. "Hehe, glad to see you haven't changed at all after all these years." Qrow said, teasing his sister.

"Shut. up. Qrow!" Raven growled as she glared at her brother.

"Or what? Do you really plan to stop snuggling Tai to get to me?" Qrow smirked.

Raven said nothing as she blushed and just snuggled Tai harder.

"I also brought you here to try and get the woman I called my best friend back. Sure Glynda and Elsa, or Willow in your world, are as close as sisters to me. But YOU, Raven Branwen, were my best female friend. Someone who if I sent out an SOS signal would drop everything and teleport to me and gut whatever had put me into that state." Adrian says with a smirk.

Raven just blushes hearing how Adrian views her.

Everyone Amp listed smiled at how close he is to them, before going wide eyed at how close him and Raven are.

Es smiled. "Raven, while one of his best friends, wasn't as close as Gale was. But his version of her was still close enough that they jokingly called each other cousin." Es explained.

Raven once again blushed at this, not expecting that.

"Any more questions or can I go back to sleep? After all, Amber's birthday party is tomorrow." Adrian states with a yawn.

"What does he mean?" June asked with a confused look.

"Oh, we held three parties for the girls. One for both girls and just them, and one for each girl and their friends." Es explained, making everyone smile at how they did it every year.

Tai remembered the happy faces Ruby and Yang would have on their birthdays. At least… until Ruby tried guilt tripping Yang into giving her all her candy just because it was her birthday.

"Just one, you've seen the future of my world. So tell me. Do I become a good person?" Raven asks, sounding desperate to know the answer with tears in her eyes that she refuses to let fall.

Raven had tears in her eyes, but also a big smile as she then turned to Tai and kissed his cheek. Tai smiled at her and kissed her forehead. Raven Raven turned to her daughter. "Yang, I do love you. And I will try to be a better mother."

Yang smiled and hugged Raven. "Thanks mom. I know you will."

"Rae, you will become a beloved grandmother to Hela, Xeno loves to spend time with you and your family and is close enough that if he doesn't call you Miss Raven he calls you Aunty. Yang and Vernal trust you with their kids when they aren't able to watch them, and while you may not be able to cook, the kids all love cuddling with you and watching movies in a snuggle pile." Adrian says with a smile as Raven breaks down crying hearing that her future will be a happy one. "Now I believe we all need some sleep. So good night Rae, and Tai make sure she gets to bed safely as I don't want her to fall and hurt Fenrir."

Everyone was stunned at what Amp described, before the screen glitched and a picture appeared.

The picture is of Raven, with some gray in her hair, laying on the floor with Hela, Xeno, and three other kids all under blankets watching a kids movie. Raven is seen rubbing Hela's back with one hand while her other is gently brushing the gray hair out of a sleeping little boy's face.

Everyone smiled at the picture, and Raven even started crying even more seeing proof of what Amp told her. Tai smiled and snuggled his wife more, lovingly rubbing her back.

Though some were wondering who the grey haired boy was.

Raven looks up shocked to hear Tai mentioned before she is hugged from behind by said man.

"Goodnight Adrian, and I will." Tai says with a soft smile. "Come on Rae, let's get some sleep. We have a busy day of wrangling kids tomorrow."

Raven just hugs Tai as they walk back to their room.

Raven let out a sigh. "I am never wrangling ten kids again…"

"Then I don't recommend becoming a teacher." Tai chuckled. He had a feeling Rave would have a lot of trouble with that.

Adrian seeing them go simply pulls his hat down over his eyes and goes back to sleep.

Es gave a sigh of relief. "Good… he went back to sleep…"

Raven raised a brow. "How bad is his sleeping problem exactly for you to get so anxious?"

Cici began squirming anxiously in her seat. "Well… I remember waking up and seeing daddy watching TV trying to fall asleep a lot as a kid. But that's about it…"

Es let out another sigh. "If he woke up he normally couldn't fall asleep again due to how he grew up, and his need to always be aware of his surroundings combined with insomnia made it so he only slept in their bed for more than two hours was only two or three times a month"

Everyone was surprised by this answer, but could honestly understand it.

The screen then changes, getting ready to show a new film.

A picture of Adrian and Es hugging the girls shown. Under the picture is the caption "Family home movies"

Everyone cooed at the cute family picture, with Cici smiling and Cindy gagging. Unlike Everyone else, Cindy found cute family moments disgusting.

Static is seen on the screen before clearing and showing the girls bedroom.

One bed is unmade and empty. It has pink sheets with red hearts, a big fluffy blue blanket with bunnies on it. And stuffed bears are along the side against the wall. This is Cinder's bed.

Salem laughed heartily. "Cinder NEVER made her bed as a child." she chuckled.

Es then laughed as well. "I know. It was a fight getting Cinder to not have Flopsy in bed with her." they two of them just laughed more and more together, all while making Cinder blush, while everyone was laughing at how Cinder was as a child.

Cici had her face in her hands, her face was as red as a tomato as steam came off her head. She has never wanted to die more now than ever.

The other bed has it's owner sprawled across it like she can't keep still in her sleep. Her sheets are white with blue polka dots. Her blanket is brown with horses running across it. This is Amber's bed. Amber can be seen wearing a white pair of pajamas with the top pushed up showing her belly.

June, Summer, Es, Salem, and Raven all smiled at seeing Amber sprawled like that.

Qrow then saw Raven smiling. "What's the smile about?"

"I had fun with my goddaughter. And I think it's cute how she sleeps like that." Raven answered in a matter of fact tone. This made everyone go wide eyed at how soft Raven was being.

Summer then started poking Raven's face repeatedly. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Raven?" She questioned.

"What? What are you talking about?" Raven asked in a weirded out tone.

"The real Raven would never act like this!" Summer shouted

"Summer, knock it off! You're getting more annoying than usual!" Raven shouted trying to push her away.

Just then, June was slowly pulled up some rope, only for Nick to place a hand on hers and shake his head. "Not yet. Let's just make sure that this really is Raven first, and not an imposter."

Just then the bedroom door slowly opens revealing Cinder sneaking back into the room. She tiptoes over to Amber's bed. Cinder is wearing an overly long shirt that says Beacon on it and black sweatpants.

Coco began to gag and dry heave uncontrollably as she saw those clothes. "What the hell is she wearing?!"

"She stole her father's old gym shirt." Es explained. "He got it when he used to go to Beacon, and she loves to sleep wearing it." She giggled.

Everyone chuckled while Cici blushed. "I-its really comfy…" she said in embarrassment.

Cinder looks at the sleeping Amber before getting a mischievous smirk and jumps on the bed.

"WAKE UP BEBE WAKE UP!" Cinder yells as she bounces on the bed. "IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST!"

Weiss, Ruby, and Nora all laughed, as they did that as well. Ren however, just sighed. "Nora would jump on my stomach…" This made Nora blush hard.

"S-sorry…" she pouted.

Yang then deadpanned at Ruby. "Well, Ruby used her semblance to bounce faster, making me fly."

Tai then sighed. "There are still cracks in Yang's ceiling due to that…" Ruby then hid her face in her hood in embarrassment.

Winter was the odd one out as she smiled. "Those days were when Weiss was still innocent before Jacques got to her." Weiss blushed hard at this but smiled at her sister.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Amber screams as she is bounced onto the floor. "I'M UP! I'M UP!"

Cinder stops bouncing and looks down at the floor. "What are you doing down there?"

Everyone laughed and Es had a smug look. "At least you got my sense of humor, sweety. You would be in trouble if you had your fathers."

Amber just starts muttering about bratty little sisters not letting her sleep.

All older siblings in the audience sighed. "I feel her pain…" they all said at once.

All the younger siblings looked at their big siblings. "Hey!" they all shouted.

"Come on already Bebe, daddy's making us a cannon ball for breakfast." Cinder squeals out in delight at the thought of the rare breakfast item.

Willow went wide eyed, before she licked her lips hearing the name of one of her father's recipes. Winter and Weiss see this and are confused. "Do you know what they are talking about, mother?" Winter asked.

"If it doesn't show it, I will most certainly tell you about it." Willow smiled.

Amber goes wide eyed and runs for the kitchen with Cinder jumping off the bed and following at her heel.

Es let out a happy sigh. "That takes me back. Back when they were kids, they were inseparable."

Cici blushed. "I think I remember Amber being the brave one, and I always went along with her crazy ideas…"

"Oh most definitely. You two were quite the handful." Es smirked.

As the girls enter the kitchen we now see that it is full of the Arc sisters all sitting around and playing. The eldest Rouge is now 10, and the twins are now 5.

"Oh my god!" June squealed. "My baby girls are babies again! Why the hell did I not get invited!" She shouted angrily. She was beyond pissed at Amp for not letting her get to be with her little girls when she could be able to scoop them all up in one big hug again.

Rouge was wearing sweatpants, a baggy shirt, as well as one bear slipper and one bunny slipper.

Everyone laughed at her mismatched slippers, finding it hilarious for her to not bother putting on the right ones in the morning.

Salem turned to June and Nick. "Is that normal for her?"

Nick gave a chuckle. "Oh yes it is. Rouge is not a morning person, so she will put on mismatched slippers without knowing."

Coco however, was freaking out learning that Rouge always cared more for comfort than fashion. It was a hard pill to swallow for the fashionista to learn about her idol.

Bleu was wearing a blue night dress with bunny slippers.

June cooed at this. "Oh my gosh, just look how cute my little scientist is!" she squealed.

Salem smiled in agreement. "She certainly is."

Violet was wearing a gold night dress complete with crown and slippers that look like princess shoes.

Saphron sighed with a deadpan expression at her sister. "Of course the princess had to dress as a princess for bed." she grumbled. Making some sigh at how Saphron feels Violet is a brat. Though… she wasn't wrong.

Verte was wearing a green t-shirt and shorts.

Coco was freaking out again. "How could any sister of Rouge have such basic clothes?!"

June smiled happily. "Verte was always a simple girl, clothes wise. She would only wear stuff that she was comfortable in, and didn't care how it looked." she explained. Coco was not happy with that explanation.

Blanche was wearing white pajama tops and bottoms with music notes on them

Everyone laughed at how even as a child, she showed her love of music. Juniper and Nicholas always found it adorable how much she cared about music.

Noire was wearing black pajama tops and bottoms with polka dots

June smiled. "Noire loved her black pajamas. When she outgrew them, she refused to get rid of them just because it was Jaune who got them for her." she chuckled.

Everyone else chuckled, but then remembered what they had learned about her and realised why she kept them.

Also seen amongst the kids is a 4 year old Whitley talking to a 6 year old Vernal. Vernal is laughing so hard at something Whitley said that milk is coming out her nose. Whitley is wearing baby blue pajamas that look to be made of wool. Vernal is wearing a matching outfit in black.

The Schnee Family smiled seeing the youngest member having fun. "So that's my nephew." She said with a small smile.

The Schnee Family looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" Willow asked.

"Well, technically I am Whitley's aunt through his father." Jacky reminded them, making them go wide eyed as they forgot that detail since she is so different from her "brother".

Yang however, was curious as she saw the girl Whitley was talking to. "So who is she?"

Raven sighed. "That is Vernal. I... adopted her while I was a bandit, and raised her as one…"

Yang grew angry hearing this. Her eyes turned red, but took a deep breath. "We are going to talk about it later with Raven siged and nodding, as she knows she fucked up.

At the stove is Adrian wearing a white t-shirt, red and black pajama pants, and bear slippers. He is currently talking to Arthur and Gwen as they help him cook enough cannon balls to feed everyone.

Coco began to gag and dry heave at the utter abomination that was his outfit. She just couldn't stop feeling ill every time he shows a different outfit.

Es however had a surprised look. "Huh… I didn't know he had bear slippers." This caused everyone to chuckle and laugh.

"Granny Sally gave them to him for his birthday." Cinder explained. Salem smiled at this. It was sweet of her counterpart to do that.

Arthur and Gwen are in matching baby blue pajamas.

June smiled as she saw her parents. "You know, it was actually Rouge who made them those pajamas. It was last year for their anniversary. I still remember how happy Rouge was when they said they loved them." She chuckled.

Over by the coffee machine is Richard getting coffee ready for the adults. Richard was wearing a tank top and sweatpants.

Everyone went wide-eyed at how big his arms are. They could definitely understand how he snapped an Ursa major's neck 360° now.

Meanwhile, Juliet started to squeal and bounce on Salem's knee reaching for the screen while shouting. "Gampy Wion! Gampy Wion!" She called out happily. Making everyone coo at her and her obvious adoration of her great grandpa. It was just too adorable.

Lumière is making sure the kids are behaving and smiles when she sees Cinder and Amber. Lumière is wearing one of her husband's oversized shirts, black sweatpants and lion slippers.

Nick gave a big hearty laugh. "My mother has always worn my dad's shirts to bed for as long as I can remember. There isn't a single night she doesn't do it." he chuckled.

Nora was now thinking she might want to steal one of Ren's shirts to sleep in. Ren suddenly had an uncomfortable feeling now.

Raven is cuddling with Tai while laughing at the antics the girls are getting into while waiting for food. Raven is wearing the same pajamas she was in last night, while Tai is in golden silk pajamas with a black and red raven on the back.

Yang had a smile on her face seeing her parents, even if she was still VERY unhappy at her mother for raising another kid when she didn't even bother to raise her own.

Tai meanwhile, snuggled Raven close. "Amp actually had Rouge make those pajamas for us to wear. Even had them sent in those gift boxes for us." he chuckled.

Raven then blushed hard, as she actually really enjoyed sleeping in them. It was better than the usual t-shirts and tank tops.

Sally is on the phone trying to get her surprise for Amber's party arranged. She is wearing her normal black silk pajamas.

Oz was stunned that Salem looks so relaxed in her pajamas, and not like the evil woman he thought she became over the centuries.

Everyone meanwhile, agreed yet again that they need to get Salem involved with their families if Amp could make a version of her be that nice.

Salem meanwhile was blushing at the fact everyone is seeing a version of her in her pajamas.

"So where did you learn to make this...'cannonball' I think you called it." Arthur asks, wondering about this strange breakfast item.

Everyone was confused as to what they are talking about, except for Willow who just wants to know if Amp learned it where she thinks he did. She just licked her lips more at the food.

"I learned it from Dad." Adrian answers.

"You learnt zhis from Robin?" Richard asked, having overheard as he was coming over with a cup of coffee for his wife at the table.

"No," Adrian says with a laugh. "I call Nicholas Schnee my dad, while my father was simply Pa. Same way I call Salem Mama, while my mother was my Ma."

Willow and Salem smiled at this. Salem because he DOES see her as his Mama. And Willow because of how he sees her father, and that it IS her father's recipe he is making.

"Wait, that was grandfather's recipe?" Winter asked in surprise.

Willow smiled. "Oh yes. I always loved the days he would make it for me." she said with a happy sigh. She missed those days.

"Ah my mistake." Richard says with a chuckle. "But it is good to see zhat my nephew lived a good life and raised two wonderful girls."

Said girls blush before shouting "GRANDPA RICHARD STOP EMBARRASSING US!"

Cinder blushed hard like a tomato. "Grandpa Richard liked to tease us the entire time he was there…" she pouted.

The Arc's all smiled at what she calls Richard, and how he treated her like family. Nick then spoke up. "He only teases family like that, you know." Cici was surprised, but then smiled at how he sees her as family.

Cindy however, didn't feel the same way. "He isn't our fucking family." she spat, only for Winter and Weiss to throw snow and icicles at her after they see Cici at what her counterpart said.

"Grandpa Richard is family…" Cici sobbed in denial of what her dark side said. June and Nick hug Cici and say she will always be family, comforting the girl.

Everyone laughs at how red they are while Richard smiles at how they see him after only knowing him a few days.

"Any way Uncle Arthur, Dad would make this for us before we went down into the mines. He said a good heavy breakfast would give us the energy we needed to mine all day." Adrian says with a smile. Everyone is stunned at how different Adrian looks when he smiles, going from a noble look to a man who brightens up the room.

"Mmm… My father made that because he would often skip lunch while mining, and I would work through lunch going over paperwork." Willow explained.

Winter and Weiss were confused. "Why did you do that?" Weiss asked.

Willow spoke up to answer her daughter. "We were just starting out at that time, and couldn't hire people to do the paperwork." she reminded the girls. "And my father preferred to work with his employees and show that they could trust him."

Winter and Weiss both went oh, as they had forgotten the SDC wasn't always as big as it is now. But they then smiled at how their grandpa was.

"Well I have it arranged and they will be here after lunch." Sally says.

"Oh? Who will be here Mama?" Adrian asks, confused.

"My surprise for Amber of course." Sally says with a smirk, before she walks over and hugs said girl. "Happy birthday Amber."

Cici smiled from her spot between Nick and June. "Bebe LOVED the surprise granny Sally arranged!" she said happily.

Salem smiled that her counterpart got the right gift... even if she doesn't know what it is yet.

Amber just hugs her granny tightly. "You didn't have to get me anything Granny, just you and everyone being here is what I wanted."

All the adults have tears in their eyes hearing that Amber only wants to spend the day with her family.

Everyone in the theater smiled at how the girls are just happy to have family with them. Es let out a small sigh. "The girls always asked about any family they had…"

Cici looked down a little. "We were curious why Mama and Daddy were always sad sometimes... so we thought they missed someone…" she explained.

Es smiled at her little girl. At least now Cinder had a big family now.

"Well l-let's eat th-then have fun kids." Gwen says.

Adrian starts dishing out small servings of the cannon ball to everyone. First on the plates goes fries potatoes, then topped with sausage gravy, a single biscuit each, more sausage gravy, half a country fried steak, and even more sausages gravy, topped with a single egg the way each kid likes. On the side are two slices of toast.

Everyone went wide eyed in shock at how much food was on the plates. They couldn't understand how anyone could eat all of that.

Willow just started laughing. "That's only half a cannon ball." She revealed. Everyone was now wondering how good it is and decide to try it later on.

"What is this?" Whitley asks as he has never seen something like this before.

"Something your grandfather would make for your mother before they would work." Adrian answers his youngest nephew.

Willow had a big smile on her face. The look she had was one of nostalgia. "My father made it daily. It was always my favorite food."

Winter and Weiss looked to each other. It was weird seeing their mother like this given that it was not a common sight.

"Really?" Whitley asks unsure.

"Oh just try it or are you scared?" Vernal teases Whitley.

Whitley cuts into his with his fork and knife and takes a bit. Next thing anyone knows is that Whitley is going to town eating his cannonball so fast that the adults are afraid he will choke.

Willow smiled. "That there is proof that Whitley is a Schnee. No Schnee to my knowledge will ever call a cannonball bad." She said with a large smirk on her face. Winter and Weiss now wanted to try it even more.

Tai started to laugh nervously. "W-well… Amp might have… taught me how to make it…" he said with a nervous look.

Only for Willow to then tackle Tai's legs. "You have to make me one when we get back to remnant!" She begged, making everyone go wide eyed at how she was acting.

Raven however had a smirk. She might as well take advantage of the fact a rich woman wanted something her husband had. "Well Willow, I'm sure we could work something out when we get back."

Tai was confused. "Uh… Rae, what are you-" But then Raven put a finger in his lips.

"Hush Tai. We are talking business." Raven smirked. She was never one to shy away from finding a chance to get some money. She was a bandit after all, and in charge of the tribe's finances.

Wolf deadpanned. "Is she seriously pulling an 18?"

Es sighed. "Yes. Yes she is."

"Ish fo hood" Whitley says with his mouth full.

"Please empty your mouth before speaking," Lumière tells the poor boy.

Whitley swallows and repeats himself. "It's so good."

Hearing the stuck up boy say this causes all the other kids who haven't started eating yet to try it only to mimic Whitley with how fast they are eating.

Everyone was shocked by the reaction to it. None more than Winter and Weiss seeing their brother talk with his mouth full.

Willow however just chuckled. "My father's food may look strange, but it ALWAYS tasted good." She said confidentiality.

The only two kids not eating fast are Cinder and Amber as this is something their daddy makes on special days.

Cici had a big smile. "Daddy only made it four times a year so it was a treat and special occasion food for us. So me and Bebe learned to savor it."

Es had a big smile. "It was always nice seeing you two so happy when he made it."

The adults then try it and find that as unlikely as it is the meal does taste very good.

After everyone finishes eating they all disappear to get dressed then a montage of what they did during the day takes place.

Kids playing in the backyard with a basketball set.

"Verte and Bebe went nuts trying to beat each other." Cici giggled, making everyone laugh at the funny story. Nick and June could definitely see Verte doing that.

Kids playing in a sandbox.

Raven gave a chuckle. "Hey Willow, your boy, Whitley, actually made a sandcastle that won the kids little contest contest."

"Yeah! Whit didn't even know we were having a contest till Granny gave him his prize bag." Cici giggled, making Willow smile at her little boy winning.

Kids playing pin the tail on the donkey.

"That would have been a lot more fun if they didn't pin the tail on me a few times…" Tai sighed as he rubbed his still aching butt.

Raven smirked. "Welcome to my world, Tai." she said, remembering all those times with Summer.

Kids trying to hit a pinata shaped like a Grimm.

Cici had a big smile. "Vernal was the one to finally break it open after everyone tried. None of us could even hit it… though she didn't really stop even after she broke it. She just… kept hitting it. Even when she knew it was broken…" she shivered.

Raven chuckled. "That is definitely Vernal."

Cinder falling in mud and ruining her clothes before Sally and Rouge take her inside to change.

Cici pouted seeing this. "The mud ruined my cowboy dress…" she huffed as she crossed her arms, before looking at her mother bashfully. "Also… I'm sorry, mama. Me and Big Sis Rouge played with your makeup…"

Es just smiled "It's fine, sweety."

Kids getting face paint.

Everyone laughed at the kids that were still outside getting animal faces. It was always cute seeing kids doing that. Tai turned to Ruby and Yang. "I remember when you two did that." he chuckled, making them blush.

Richard and Arthur cooking hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill for lunch.

Tai laughed some more. "Amp was a little angry that they took over his grill."

Es then joined in on the laughter. "That grill was custom made, and a gift from my father. At least, the one of this incarnation of mine".

Cici and Nora then looked at her, wondering about their grandfather. Their question was plain as day on their faces.

Es sighed seeing this. "I'll tell you about him later."

Whitley making Vernal laugh as he tries to figure out how to eat a hotdog.

Everyone laughed, except the Schnee Family. Willow let out a sad sigh. "Jacques didn't allow what he called "peasant food" in the mansion. Some days, all I wanted was a gods damned cheeseburger…" she said in frustration. Everyone was shocked at how her soon to be ex husband was, and how Willow acted and how all she wants was some good bad food

Whitley pushing Vernal on the tire swing.

Raven smiled at this. "It's funny, Vernal was basically born into the tribe, and that has to be the first time I could remember her ever smiling and laughing without it being to bandit activities". Yang was shocked at how her 'sister' was raised, and decided to get to know her… even if she was still pissed at Raven.

Sally's surprise arrives and it is a couple ponies for the kids to ride.

Raven laughed loudly. "I remember how we couldn't get some of the kids off them!" she said through her laughter, making some of the other parents join in.

"I remember. We practically needed a crowbar for some of them." Tai chuckled.

Amber riding a pony with a huge smile on her face.

Tai laughed even more. "As soon as she saw the ponies, she squealed and tackled and hugged Sally saying thank you over and over again, before riding ponies for hours."

Es squealed at how adorable that sounds. Now she was even more pissed at her husband for leaving her out of this. She was going to have his ass after this.

Cinder and Rouge coming back into the backyard smiling and hugging each other.

Cici smiled at this. "Rouge was really nice, and even claimed I was one of her little sisters. And even when we turned back into our proper ages, she hugged me and said I am still her little sister."

June and Nick smiled at how happy Cinder sounded saying that their eldest claimed Cici as her sister. It was so sweet to know how much Rouge cared about her.

More games and fun till sunset.

Adrian using his magic to do a fireworks display for the kids.

Everyone oohed and ahed at the small display they saw, with Tai speaking up. "It was actually Amp who kept it going for close to 2 hours."

Cici then added to the conversation. "It's actually one of Granny Dawn's spells."

This piqued Salem's curiosity, and now wants to read the Grimoire even more, knowing that the knowledge to do that is in that book.

Amber blowing out the candles on her cake.

"I actually helped make the cake." Cici said with a smile, before going wide-eyed and remembering the cakes she brought back. "I almost forgot! I brought some back for everyone." she said as she got them out, and then handed some out to everyone.

"Yeah! It's so tasty!" Nora giggled.

Everyone eating more hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner.

The kids falling asleep in a snuggle pile in the living room watching a movie.

"It was a horse movie we were watching." Cici said with a giggle.

And that was that chapter. I am honestly sorry for it taking this long. Honestly I did not mean for that to happen. But hopefully I end up posting this on Christmas as a present to all of you who stuck with me and my shitty posting schedule.

Thank you all for staying for as long as you have. Honestly it means a lot to me. Happy holidays and a happy new year everyone.
