After the two had got there, they saw how Raven was doing. June and Summer would be able to talk to each other for the first time in months. Summer was helping Raven with everything, but Ino seemed more than happy to replace her. June, throughout all of it, was confused by Ino's liking of the situation; however, she wasn't curious enough to ask her why. In the meantime, June would walk around with Summer in Patch's forest to catch up a couple days after June had gotten there.

"What have you been doing since we graduated," June had asked first.

"Well, it's been weird. I was used to living with them, it was actually weird to not see Qrow everyday," before Summer could add anything, June followed up quickly.

"Wait, now that you mention, where is Qrow," June had asked her.

"Oh, right. After graduation, he stayed with Ozpin and has been doing scouting missions while looking into, um, Salem," Summer said the name with a hushed tone, and continued, "so he's been out of contact for a long time." June nodded in agreement.

"But, it was made weird by the fact Tai and Raven were dating this time, so there's that. There's some things I wished I didn't hear, to say the least," once Summer said that, June understood what she was implying, and definitely didn't want to know that either. To show it, though, she looked away for second while putting a concerned look on her face.

"Let's just talk about something else for now." June had recommended.

"Yeah. Ooh, what places did you see?" Summer had said it with some excitement, as when she started to say it she realized that she hadn't asked about, or even seen many places besides Vale.

"We went to Vacuo, but on our way there we stayed at a couple of settlements, some of which we helped defend. A couple days before we got back, actually, we defended a town from a Grimm force." June had stated this, although not very descriptive about much. June had then tried to flip the conversation, "What about you?"

"Oh, um, not much. I've mostly been doing contracts nearby Vale to stay close to home before I felt ready to leave. Then, Raven got pregnant, so I started to help with that. It must really suck, she's pretty strong and she can't handle herself sometimes. Granted, the baby kicks around a lot too." Summer had started talking about it again.

"You sound pretty interested in this, I'm starting to think that you want one." June had said it with a joking manner, but actually thought it to be true.

"Heh, I think I might," Summer said this a little quieter and blushed slightly at it.

"Well, I'm not sure how I'd handle that, but you're going to have it." June had shoved her in a playful manner after saying that. Summer snickered and shoved back, and then they kept it up until June had pushed hard enough to knock Summer down. However, she took the blue haired girls arm when she started to fall, which made both of them come down. June fell on her back next to Summer.

"I missed you." Summer said it after a sigh and June had agreed with her. Summer had then rolled over, ending up on top of June, and had stayed above her. June then followed up with comment.

"Must've missed me a lot." June had gotten out while Summer had laid down on her, which led to a long kiss. It had included some extra touching from both of them. June had then slightly pushed back to get her off for a second. Summer obliged and came back a bit.

"Probably wanna find a more private place for this." June was able to get it out. Summer answered by getting off of her and standing up, which June followed. They then walked back to Tai's house to grab some things. When they got there, Ino had been helping Raven, who looked like she was going to pass out.

"You two are back already," Ino had greeted them at the door.

"We just needed to grab something." Summer had answered, and then continued, "On that note, you're fine making sure Raven's OK if I were to be gone for the next couple of days, right?"

"What, of course I would. You've already had to do that for the past eight months," Ino looked completely willing to, so Summer just went to grab her clothes while June did the same.

Ino didn't know why they hadn't spent much time together in the forest until she realized that they packed up and left. Now, it was just her and Raven. Tai was out working, which was being a substitute at Signal, so it was up to Ino to do everything for her. Right now, though, Raven was tired and falling asleep on the couch, and all Ino had to do was stay near her in case she needed something. However, with Raven's constant insisting she didn't need help, Ino was persuaded to go relax in the guest room she was using while she stayed there. While she was walking by, she noticed the other guest room, which was being used by Summer and June, had its door opened. The pair must've been in a rush to not close it and, admittedly, Ino wanted to look in. She opened the door and found there was some mess. Not too bad, but some bags weren't packed, as though they were rummaged around.

What caught her attention, though, was a notebook that was set on the floor. Curiosity had overwhelmed her as she picked up the book and realized it was June's. Ino was confused by it, even ignoring that it was handwritten instead of kept on a scroll, she never expected June to have a diary. It became clear, however, that it wasn't when she read the first page. It was research, and it wasn't from her time at Beacon, it had dates telling her that these were recorded on their trip around Sanus.

"Whatever it was, it was hooded and shrouded in mystery, but it must have noticed my Silver Eyed stunt against the Leviathan. I might not need this; however, I need to make sure I don't forget." it was the first line, and considering how long she withheld her power to even her loved ones, this had to have been important, and at the end of the page there was a rough sketch of a mysterious figure in pure black. Ino kept reading, figuring out that June had sneaked away some nights to do personal research away from Ino. She clearly didn't want her to get involved, but she had read too far at this point. Whenever they would stop at a settlement, June would ask about a hooded figure and would be met with vagueness, or just nothing. Although, when she talked to settlements closer to Vacuo, and in the kingdom, she had received several reports of a figure matching the description, albeit vague, but it was a start. Another thing she learned was that this figure may be related to the local bandit tribes.

"With this, I plan on visiting one of these local tribes, although it is dangerous," Ino had been shocked and hoped that she hadn't actually been to one. However, her continued reading only proved her wrong, "I visited a bandit tribe on our journey back from Vacuo. After some… persuasion, they were very willing to give me information. They had hired this figure once, which they say he didn't give a name, but had insisted that they had only hired him for a reported crash landing, which they thought was an ambush and trap. However, he came back saying any fighting survivors were killed, or disabled and couldn't fight. He took his pay and left, and when they got to the site, he was right. The hooded man didn't even take any of the valuables there, he just left them. It was odd, but I can't get more as it's approaching sunrise, and Ino will be waking up soon. I'll keep it down that the Branwen tribe has-."

Ino stopped reading immediately when she read, "Branwen," thinking she had to have written something wrong. Even if she was right, why wouldn't she tell anyone about something like that. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice coming from behind her in the doorway.

"What are you doing in here?" Raven said in a mellow tone and Ino had turned instantly while hiding the journal.

"Oh, um," Ino had paused for a second and had come up for something, "June wanted me to make sure everything was packed and that she wasn't missing anything important."

"Isn't that something she would've wanted taken care of when she got here?" Raven had got it out before puffing as the baby started kicking again, which gave a convenient escape for Ino. She hid the journal in the back of her shorts and had sprung up to help her.

"Maybe you shouldn't have tried to come up here and stayed resting," Ino had recommended this, but was met with disgust from Raven.

"This kid isn't going to make me a couch potato." She had almost hissed it out while adding on to it, "I don't need you to grab something from my room because I can't do anything." Ino nodded in agreement as Raven walked to her room, albeit, slowly while the kicking continued. In the meantime, Ino would go back down to the living room and watch something for a bit, while planning to see if she could make Raven anything from what was in the kitchen. However, after some time, Ino heard Raven yelling her name, and when she got to her room she was quickly told why the woman had a sudden change in heart.

"I'm pretty damn sure my water just broke," with Raven saying that, Ino immediately got next to her and called Tai. Thankfully, he picked up quickly.

"TAI TAI TAI TAI TAI," Ino was cut off by him.

"Slow down, what's happening," with that, he was answered instantly.

"Well, your wife's in labor." Ino had said that with Raven groaning in the background. Before Ino could say anything else, she heard fast rumbling and talking, as though he had dropped his scroll. Ino had then hung up and started to help Raven up. As they were walking down the stairs, Raven was very willing to make comments through her pain.

"This brat is going to be the death of me," Raven had gotten that out only barely.

"Don't say that, and I mean to save your breath as well." Ino had told her, and that only made Raven more angry.

"The fuck is breathing going to do about this." She had added after Ino.

"You know what, I don't know, just shut up and save it, at least." Ino was being rude with that, but Raven had listened and stopped talking, trying to feel better. Signal wasn't too far from the house, so the soon-to-be mother only had to wait a couple of minutes for Tai to get there with the car. As Ino helped her into the front seat and buckled her in, she couldn't help but get angry at Tai.

"The hell took you so long." Raven said as Ino got in the backseat and patted Tai, telling him to drive. As he started, he responded to Raven.

"I'm sorry, I went as fast as I could." He had added it in a concerned tone, which Raven didn't care about it.

"Don't answer the question, just drive." Raven had said it and Tai was silent for the trip, even though he looked like he needed to. During their ride, Ino was helping Raven through it from the backseat. Once they got to the hospital, they brought her in for a nurse to receive her. Tai had followed them in as they took Raven to the delivery room. Ino was left to wait in the waiting area by herself.

While she had the time to herself, she needed to get Summer. She was actually trained a little and used to dealing with Raven, so it be weird if she didn't show up. However, when Ino had used her scroll, the girl didn't answer. After two more tries, she didn't know how else she would get a hold of her, as she did not know where she went off to with June. Thinking that, Ino realized that she could call June instead. She called her twice, with both times not getting an answer, and it was looking as though it would be a repeat of what happened with Summer when the third call had hadn't gotten anything for half-a-minute. However, the girl had picked up.

"What's wrong," June had said it after sighing. Although, it wasn't to show annoyance. It was something else Ino couldn't figure out, but didn't have time to dwell on it.

"Where are you," Ino had said, but then went on without letting her answer, "cause' I need Summer and I know she's with you."

"Yeah she's right here. She doesn't want to talk, though, so what do you need," June had said this as though she was trying to hurry, which had annoyed Ino a bit.

"Raven's having her kid. Right now." With saying that, Ino could hear June get up immediately from what sounded like a be- She then realized what was happening and just told them to hurry.

"Yeah, we'll be there as quick as we can." June had said before hanging up. Ignoring the weirdness of the call, Ino had sat back down and waited for the two. After ten minutes of this, Summer had came in, fast, and had quickly said hello to Ino while asking the woman at the desk. She then ran down the hallway. Once Summer had disappeared, June was shortly behind her and took a seat next to Ino.

"This seems awfully stressful for her." June had started a conversation and had been referring to Summer.

"You're telling me. I only dealt with Raven for a couple days and she was not happy through it. By the way, where were you two?" Ino had added that last question with a smirk forming on her face.

"How about we focus on what's happening," June had looked away while saying that, partly hiding a small blush.

"Heh, sure. I'm surprised you two could make it from that Inn from that far." Ino's smirk had only grown as she said it. This time, June had no comment and her eyes got smaller as she kept looking away. It looked as though she was using much restraint for something, so Ino wasn't going to pressure her further, as she already had her answer.

"Hm, guess it doesn't matter. We probably should be worrying about what's going on." Ino had said that with her tone changing to a more serious one.

"Yeah, probably should." June had turned back with a more serious face, almost as though she could turn off her feelings. Ino got the impression she could turn off her emotions sometimes, and it was weird.

It felt like an eternity as the two of them waited. Since they weren't related, either Summer or Tai would have to tell them when everything was fine. June didn't know how she felt. She wanted nobody to get hurt, but she hardly knew Raven. Besides her backstory, of course. It was then she realized she had forgotten something when she packed up. She started to feel around her pockets and confirmed that she had lost her notebook. That was bad, even if it was still at Tai's house, as she didn't want anyone to see it. Even worse would be if Raven found it. June didn't think Raven wanted anyone to know her familial ties, but it was still bad if anyone else found it. She couldn't stop thinking about the worst cases of where it could end up, and it only made waiting even more antagonizing to her.

Finally, after waiting for hours, Summer had come out. She was messy, but fine.

"We're good, for now. But, I don't think Raven wants any visitors anytime soon." Summer said, and she had a more relieved tone.

"Well, that's fine. Maybe we'll get to see the baby soon," Ino had asked.

"Not sure. Again, probably should just wait until Raven feels better," Summer had answered. Now, June had followed up.

"Even with that, I'll stay with you as long as you're here. I'm also sure Ino will want to stay here to see the baby, too." June had added.

"About that. I think that we should go back." Summer had responded and grabbed June's arm.

"O-oh, OK. I guess I'll go with whatever you say." June had listened and followed the girl as she brought her out. Now, Ino was alone. She knew how to get back, but didn't feel like walking just yet, so she waited. After some time, Tai had come out, looking awfully exhausted.

"Ino? Why are you still here?" Tai had said in a confused tone.

"I didn't really feel like walking, and I still kinda want to see the baby if I'm being honest." Ino had added the last comment smiling.

"Well, I guess you could come see her now if Raven's fine with it." Tai had said before Ino had quickly asked more questions.

"A girl? What did you name her," Ino had asked excitedly.

"Oh, we weren't sure, but had come up with something a little bit before." Tai had told her while continuing with his answer, "We came up with... Yang."
