Another day came to greet the Rose household, and one person was particularly excited. Opening the door to a still sleeping Ruby and Weiss, 5 year old Garnet Rose slowly climbed up their bed and shook them to wake them up.

"Moms, wake up," he said to them. Ruby slowly got up and looked at her son. She smiled and rubbed his hair.

"Mmmn, good morning, sweetie. What are you doing up so early?"

"We're going to visit Grandpa, remember? You also said we're going to see someone special," he answered while he snuggled up to his mom's neck.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. We're supposed to visit them later today. Weiss, Weiss get up, we're seeing my dad," Ruby said to her wife, who didn't budge.

"Hmmm, five more minutes," she mumbled.

"Come on Weiss, you said we were leaving first thing in the morning. Plus, we agreed that Garnet was going to see...her." She paused at the last word. Weiss sighed and got up to grab her son and smothered him in kisses.

"Mother, really?" Garnet complained as he tried to get out of her grip. After more kissing, the white haired woman let him go and kissed her wife.

"Fine, I did say that. But first we shower and eat, I want Garnet to look his best for his trip to see his grandfather." The boy nodded and went to the bathroom, Ruby about to follow when Weiss stopped her and looked at the redhead with a slight look of concern. "Ruby, I know the real reason why we're seeing your father, to see...well...and I just to know if you're absolutely sure about this."

Ruby looked back at her with a tinge of sadness in her eyes, but she still smiled. "It's okay, honey, I think it'll be good for Garnet to see her and I'm sure he'll be excited about this. Now come on, Dad is getting everything ready and we don't want to be late."

Timeskip

After getting all their necessities, the Rose family headed to Ruby's old house, where Taiyang was waiting for them.

"Ohhhh, I'm so excited about seeing Dad again, I'm literally about to sprint the rest of the way there!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Calm down, Ruby. We still have a few minutes until we make it to your house, so just keep it down," Weiss said as she continued driving.

"Sorry, Weiss, I just haven't seen him since our last visit, two years ago and I've only talked to him through my Scroll, so I'm kind of jumpy about this," Ruby said rubbing her head. "And I'm sure Garnet is excited, aren't you, sweetie?" she asked him.

"Yeah! Let's see Grandpa!" he yelled.

After a few more minutes of driving, Ruby, Weiss, and Garnet approached the former's house. Excited, she ran up to the door and knocked. The door opened to reveal her dad, Taiyang, who's starting to age through his slightly graying hair. With a smile, he threw out his arms.

"Ruby!"

"Dad!" she yelled out in happiness as she hugged him tightly. Weiss and Garnet walked up to the blonde man.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Long. It's a pleasure to see you again," she politely said.

"Hey, Weiss. You don't have to call me that, just call me Tai if you like."

"Grandpa!" Garnet yelled as he jumped up to Tai.

"Hey there, big bad wolf, how you been?" he said as he picked up his grandson. "Ohhh, you've gotten heavier since the last time we met. What, is that all muscle you got under there?" Garnet laughed as his grandpa tickled him. "Well, what are we doing standing outside? Come on in, let's talk."

Later

The four spent most of the day conversing about what they have been up to, the Rose family doing most of the talking. Then came lunch, prepared by Tai and Ruby. After that, the redhead brought her son out to the woods.

"Where are we going, Mom?" he asked.

"We're going to see someone special, someone important to me. Someone who would love you just as much as I do."

The two continued walking through the woods until they reached a cliff. On the cliff lay a simple headstone, with a symbol similar to Ruby's. The name Summer Rose and the words "Thus kindly I scatter" were written on the bottom.

"Hi, Mom. It's me, your daughter, though you probably already know that," she chuckled.

"'Mom?'" Garnet questioned.

"Oh, of course! Mom, I want you to meet, your grandson, Garnet. And Garnet, this is your grandma, Summer."

"Grandma..."

"Your grandma was a huntress, like me. She was the leader of her own team that had your Grandpa and Uncle Qrow. She was a great leader, and an even better mom. She took care of me and your Aunt Yang when we were kids, and was always there for us, until..." she started sniffling and knelt down on the grave. "I'm sorry, I..."

"Mom?" Garnet worriedly asked.

"One day...she went on a mission, clear out Grimm from a village. It was supposed to be a simple one, but there were more Grimm than anticipated, and then, she didn't...come back."

"Did...Did she...?" Garnet didn't want to continue with that question, knowing full well what the answer was.

"Yes, she did. I didn't understand at the time since I was a kid, but whenever I asked where she is and why she didn't return, your grandpa always dodged the question. He usually went off topic so I wouldn't find out what really happened. And when I did, I was heartbroken, and cried nearly the whole day." She looked to her mother's grave and laid a hand on it. To this day, she still grieves a little over the loss of her mom, as she didn't live to see her beloved daughter take after her and become one of the heroes she always read about to the little redhead. But now, she has grown up and has a child of her own, a child she can read those same stories to, to have the same loving moments from when she was his age, and hopefully, live to see him become a huntsman and make her proud.

"I miss you, Mom, and I wish you were here right now to see just how much I've grown, and to see your grandson. I know you'd spoil the life out of him, and Weiss would be pretty annoyed with it," she chuckled. "I don't know if I can be the supermom you always were when you took care of me and Yang, but I promise, I'll raise and love Garnet the absolute best I can, you can count on that." She looked to her child and have him a tight hug.

"She sounds like the most awesome person ever," Garnet said. "I wish I could've met her when she was still alive."

"Me too, Garnet, me too. I think it's time we go, it getting dark out. Goodbye, Mom."

"Bye, Grandma," Garnet said to Summer's grave. A small gust of wind blew past them, making them shiver. Ruby looked to her mom's grave one last time before she left.

"I love you."

The two went back to Tai's house and snuggled up to Weiss with hot coco while they watched TV.

"How did it go?" Weiss asked.

"Good, it went good. Garnet got to meet his grandma for the first time, which was great. I've been meaning for this to happen, and now I'm happy it did."

"Your mother would be proud to see how far you've come, Ruby, and I know she would love Garnet greatly."

"Yeah. I joked about her spoiling him to death, and how you'd be annoyed with it."

"I would certainly be," Weiss chuckled. "But there is one other matter on my mind."

"What is it?"

"Well... I've been thinking having Garnet meet... my own mother."

"Your mother?"

"I know it's been a long time since I have had any any sort of contact with her, knowing where she is now, but I feel that she has at least a right to know her grandson."

"Weiss, are you sure you want Garnet to meet her? You know how she reacted when she met me, that's why she is where she is today."

"That is still a hard day for me too, dear, and I don't know if she ever fully recovered, which is why I want both of us to be there in the same room with Garnet, in case she, you know..."

"I mean... if we're in there with him, watching, then I guess he'll be okay. If we can include Winter, too; you know, she won't admit it, but she enjoys spending time with him."

"Oh, you," Weiss chuckled. "Yeah, she secretly adores him and won't stop petting his ears, it's so entertaining." The two chuckled and petted Garnet's head while he was feeding Zwei treats.
