Author's Note: Okay so this one is a bit of a stretch for the prompt maybe as it just takes place in a high school staffroom and references them as teachers and other students, but I thought it would be interesting to have them be teachers rather than students. Plus, I couldn't think of anything short and a one-shot for them as students, although this is a little short for me.

"I swear to the Brothers that the next time Oliver interrupts me to prank Honey I'm going to throw something at him." Weiss sat down heavily on the sofa in the staffroom, running a hand over her face. "I've told him so many times, but he just keeps doing it."

Ruby and Penny both laughed, "He is so much like his dick of a father it's unreal. I'm just waiting until Coco finds out Cardin's kid tries to bully her daughter; he'll be a dead man." Ruby chuckles as she passes a glass of water to Weiss.

"Oh, I would pay good money to see that, although I think Honey's only going to take another two or three pranks before she snaps, and Oliver's going to regret it then."

Penny joined in the conversation, "Oh! Doesn't Honey go to Yang's martial arts dojo?"

Ruby grinned evilly, "Oh yeah, she's one of Yang's best students. I think Yang said she was thinking of sending her to the county championships."

"Oh wow! Velvet must be really proud of her."

"She is yeah."

The three took a drink, before conversation turned to what their weekend plans were. "I was thinking of going to that indoor rock-climbing place this Saturday, at the place that Nora recommended. I haven't been rock-climbing since college, but I remember it being a lot of fun. Do either of you fancy coming along?" Penny indicated the other two teachers with her hand, and they thought about it.

"Yeah! That would be great, we could have races to the top!" Weiss rolled her eyes at Ruby's enthusiasm.

She shook her head smiling, "I've got those tests to mark, I need to get them done by Monday morning."

"Aww come on Weiss, you know you want to! You could do the marking on the Sunday, besides, just think, you could see us both in our workout clothes." Ruby winked at Weiss who couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"Ruby, stop it! You know I'll need a full day to mark the tests as I've got four classes to mark, plus I've got to do some shopping as well."

Penny clapped her hands together, "What about if we help out with the marking? All you need to do is give us the answer sheets and we can help! That way you should have enough time to go rock climbing with us."

"Plus, as well as seeing us in workout clothes, you'll have a great view if you're standing at the bottom."

Weiss held her hands up, "Fine, fine! You both win, I'll come with you." She laughed and then followed it up with, "But if any marks are wrong, that's on you two not me!"

"Deal!"

Conversation came to a brief halt as one of the other teachers called out to Ruby, "Hey Rose! Your niece is here for you." Ruby looked up and saw the snow leopard Faunus standing in the doorway. She got up and jogged over to the doorway to speak to her niece.

Penny and Weiss watched her go, "Eirwen's a cute kid, isn't she?" Weiss looked over at Penny's words.

"She is, yeah." They smiled at each other and watched Ruby talk with Eirwen, the girl giving Ruby a hug before heading off and Ruby headed back to the pair.

"You're really good with her."

Ruby chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck, "Yeah, well."

"Is it something you've ever thought about? Having children, I mean." Weiss turned to Ruby, taking a drink after she'd spoken.

"Erm, sometimes? I mean I think I'd like one at some point."

Penny smiled at Ruby, "I think you'd look adorable as a mum, baking cookies for your kids." She reached over and squeezed Ruby's hand gently.

Ruby leaned backwards, thinking of her own mother, and the cookies she'd baked for Ruby as a child. Penny had known the memories she was invoking when she'd said it, and Ruby really appreciated the comfort of her hand.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course you would be, you'd be an amazing mother. You're kind, caring, hyperactive and still a child at heart. Any children you have would absolutely adore you." Weiss chimed in as if it was obvious, and Ruby felt herself blushing at the praise.

"Well, what about you two? Have you thought about having kids?"

"I think I would like it? I haven't thought about it much, but I know my Father would love to be a grandfather."

Weiss stayed silent, and both Penny and Ruby noticed.

"Weiss?"

"I'd really like children." The other two smiled at her, but the smiles shrank when Weiss didn't match them. "I'm not sure I'd be a good mother though. My family…it wasn't the most conducive environment to grow up in, and I'm worried that it would sneak through. You know I'm not exactly viewed as anyone's favourite teacher."

"Weiss, don't be silly." Ruby leaned over and gave her a tight hug, "Just because you're a strict teacher doesn't mean you'd be a bad mother. Teaching and parenthood are different things entirely, and besides, every kid needs some level of strictness in their lives! I know I'd struggle with that bit." Ruby laughed as she said the last bit, and Weiss couldn't help but smile with her, knowing that Ruby struggled with being strict and maintaining discipline in her classroom. Fortunately, she was the workshop teacher, and nearly every student loved her puppy like nature and love of making things, so discipline rarely ever came up. Most of the students weren't dumb enough to play around with the dangerous machines without the proper safety gear or having Ruby nearby to do it with them, so she wasn't required to be overly strict.

Although the various safeties she'd built in and around each machine did help.

"I think you'd make a wonderful mother. You might be a bit prickly on the outside when you first

meet people, and difficult to deal with, but once you get past that you're just as warm and soft as Ruby is!"

Weiss rolled her eyes fondly at Penny, "You could have put that as less of a back-handed compliment."

"I know." The three of them burst into laughter together at Penny's deadpan response.

The bell ringing loudly cut into their laughter and Ruby sighed as the short break ended. Standing up, she stretched her arms out above her head, her jacket rising up giving a view of the tight pink shirt she wore tucked into her skirt, and Weiss could barely stop herself from giving her a quick once over, eyes trailing from her midriff up to her throat and back down again.

Ruby noticed however and leant down to say, in an almost conspiratorial whisper that was still loud enough for both of the other women to hear, "We can discuss this later, maybe even try and make a baby between the three of us." She followed it up with a wink and walked out the staffroom door, making sure to sway her hips as much as she could.

Weiss snorted once Ruby had gone, and Weiss' eyes had stopped following her body out the door, and turned back to Penny, who had also been following Ruby's exit. "She does know that we're all women, and we all lack a certain key piece of equipment necessary to make a baby on our own, doesn't she?"

Penny chuckled and stood up as well, "I think she was just flirting with us. On that subject, I was thinking of making oysters for my dinner tonight." She winked at Weiss and left the room as well, leaving Weiss shaking her head and chuckling to herself. The moved her right hand over and slowly rotated the wedding ring on her left hand, smiling to herself as her eyes roamed over the custom-made golden band, inlaid with a single ruby, a single emerald, and single diamond.

Author's note 2: With the mentioned kids at the beginning, shout out and thanks to Blake-Belladonna-Defence-Force's 'Family Portrait' (one of my favourite fanfic authors of all time, their work is incredible! Check it out on AO3) who Eirwen belongs to, and also to SketchHungry on Tumblr who created Honey. Oliver as Cardin's kid came from Oliver Cromwell, which was my own idea to match up slightly with the historical English origins of Cardin's name.
