The cold wind continued to blow fierce and wild against the window pane, telling all that winter was still raging on. Ruby sat curled up in various blankets, staring at the screen of their TV with mild disinterest. Winters were always cold and dark for her. When she was younger she would always go outside and play in the snow, but now she supposed she was too old to do that.
Jaune walked into the room with two steaming hot mugs of hot chocolate, and Ruby smelled it immediately. "Jaune?"
"You can't just stare at old sitcom re-runs all day. You're going to have to smile eventually." Ruby frowned as he handed her a mug. He just knew there was a but coming.
"But," and there it was, "I'm so booooored, what is there to do?" He took a seat next to her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her as close as possible as he took a sip of his drink. "I mean… I remember when we used to go have snowball fights, but now it's just too cold. So either I'm too old for it, or I've done it too many times."
"Well if we're going to stay inside we might as well make the most of it. Come here." Jaune grabbed her by the hand and helped her up, leading her over to the window nook. It was a simple little area, one they hardly ever made use of. It was a bookshelf underneath a window that was cushioned on the top, providing a seat for comfortable reading. The nook was curtained, allowing anyone to draw the curtains closed for privacy. "What do you say we make a fort, for old time's sake?" It had been quite a few years. They weren't that old, but being married and carrying a child inside of you sure made you feel like it.
She smiled as Jaune grabbed the blankets from off the floor where Ruby sat just a few moments ago, and placed them inside the nook along with a few pillows. He extended his hand once they were all laid out, and Ruby giggled, feeling like a queen for the first time since he proposed to her. "After you, fair lady." She gladly took his hand and crawled into the nook. She settled down immediately and pat the area next to her, taking a drink of her hot cocoa and setting it down on the windowsill.
"Well what are you waiting for my brave and handsome knight?" Jaune crawled in after her and kissed her gently upon the lips, drawing shut the curtains behind them, effectively blocking out all light except the light coming in from the window. He sat his his drink next to hers, and they curled up next to one another as Ruby laid her head down on his shoulder. "I'm so glad we decided to settle down. This way I can be sure that we give her the childhood she deserves…" She kissed Jaune again, pulling him as close as possible. "I feel like I have duty to remain as safe as possible for her, you know?"
"It's only natural. You want to provide her with the childhood you never had…"
"Our little rose is gonna have the perfect life, the life she wants."
"No matter what." Ruby pushed her head into his shoulder. "Have you thought of a name yet?"
"I'm still stuck between Summer, and Prim…"
"Prim Rose, huh? I like that."
"It's so hard to choose…"
"Who says we can only have one?" Ruby smiled an even bigger smile.
"I always did want two."
"Sounds like a plan." Ruby watched the snowfall, no longer bored, but content. She pulled one of the blankets over them, and closed her eyes. She couldn't remember a time that she felt more comfortable.
Author's Notes: Don't ask me why she didn't take his last name idk. I just really like Rose as a last name, and I'm gonna cry and scream before somebody takes it away from her.
