Well, this is it, Silver's birth chapter and the last chapter of the "Birth" serie. I seriously needed a name for those three chapters, no very brillant I know, anyway enjoy.

Thanks to previous experiences when the birthdate of the second child of the Rose-Schnee family was near, Winter decided to live with her sister. She had missed the birth of her other nieces and there were no way to her to miss this one too. Something that caught everyone by surprise was that her father did the same, the day after Winter arrived to the Rose-Schnee house to by more specific. The Schnee's sister felt very surprised for that, while Ruby thought about living with her sister's family during Jacques's stay, of course Weiss did not leave her do that. His reason of stay there was the same as Winter's. Althought he did not do a single thing during the birth of his other grandaugthers the three woman thought that the true reason of why he decide to took action this time was because this time the one who was going to give birth was Weiss, his daugther. Althouhgt their assumption could be wrong, who knows.

Luckly nothing out of plans happened, as the doctors had say, Weiss went into labor in June 9th, though, the delivery room was pretty silent.

Unlike Yang and Weiss, Ruby did not had any kind "rude" reaction so, she was allowed to stay at her wife side. Meanwhile in the delivery room, Winter was holding Summer, Yang and Raven were sitting next to her right side, while Blake and Mia were in the left side, Tai and Qrow were looking at each other and some seconds after that they looked at Jacques, this was the first time in a very long time that everyone were together in the same place. In fact it was hard to think in something to say, Winter's relationship with her father had improved over the years but still….it was a little hard for her to talk with him, even the three little girls were quiet, thing who was strange in Mia's cases since she was a very active girl but it was too evident that even she could feel the tension in the environment, the only thing that everyone could do right now was wait.

Luckly Summer did not began to cry when her mothers suddenly disappeared. After all that was not the first time that she was left with one of her aunts.

"Ummm, Winter. Are you fine?" Blake asked.

"Of course I'm fine. Why do you ask…"

Before Winter could finish her sentence, they heard a scream and Winter hug Summer against herself as hard as she could. Her body was shaking a little but she quickly took a deep breath to calm herself, of all the people in that delivery room it was evident that Winter was the more nervous one. It was hard to say how her father was feeling because, right now, he had a perfect poker face, Yang sighed and put her left arms around Winter's shoulders.

"Since I'm a big sister like you. I can understand that you're very worried about Weiss but don't worry. You know that she is a strong woman and Ruby is with her, there's nothing to worry about"

"I know" Winter said "But….she's my little sister, I know that she is going through a very hard time and I don't even know how much time had passed since the labor start"

"Like hour and a half, I think" Blake said.

Hour and a half, there were still a very long time before the baby was born. Winter did not know if she would be able to control herself, unlike the rest of the people in the room, this was the first time that she was present in a childbirth. Honestly she had very blurred memories of Weiss's birth, she only remembered that her parents disappeared for several hours and when she saw her parents again she had become a big sister. She was nervous and scared, her body was filled with tension and did not wanted to stop shaking, she did not know if she would be able to deal with that for more time.

"Hey" Yang said "I don't want to be mean but you should try to calm down a little, you're scaring Summer"

Hearing that made Winter turn to see her niece, she was looking at her and from her little mouth the word "aunii" come out. Summer's vocabulary was not as diversed as Mia's but it was not as short as Raven's when they were Summer's age. She could say "aunii" for Auntie, "Ma" for Weiss, "Mo" for Ruby, "Aun Yag and Blae" for her aunts, "Mi-mi" for Mia and "Rae" for Raven. Winter felt very ashamed of her behavior, she had scared her niece, she took a deep breath and look at Summer with a little smile on her face.

"Don't worry dear. Auntie just got a little stressed but everything is fine now, please don't worry"

Althought she said that, everyone were able to see how Winter's hands were still shaking but nobody could blame her for that. Her little sister was giving birth and she also needed to keep her cool for her nieces sake and speaking of them. Maybe Raven, Mia and Summer were the only ones in the room who were seeing at Jacques Schnee, their grandfather, and maybe, they were also the only ones who were able to notice that his hands were shaking.

Time began to pass, everyone were still able to hear the screams, at some point Summer and Mia fall asleep while Raven was just trying to play with the black scarf tied to Yang's right arm. Aside for the little noises that the girls had oasionally made, the room remained silent until Mia wake up and began to say that she wanted to go to the bathroom, shortly after that little incident, Summer wake up. Instead of complain about being hungry or claiming a change of diaper the little girl began to look around, she could recognize almost everyone in the room but there were a pair of people who were nowhere to found.

"Ma?….Mo?"

Hearing Summer said that was big "Hu-oh" to her family. Normally when someone take care of Summer and she fall asleep once she wake up her parents where already at home with her. Babies do not understand objects permanence, rigth now Summer must be thinking that her parents had disappeared and would never come back. The were some tears in the corner of her eyes, there was still time to calm her down before she began to cry. Funny faces, feeding her or just trying to make her fall asleep again, they were about to do all of that at the same time but before someone could move a muscle, Summer's head began to be caressed.

"Dot cry"

It was not a secret that Raven was not very talkative, even seen her "talking" with Mia was strange, but right now she was trying, in her own way, to cheer her cousin. After seeing her sister, Mia began to do the same. Mia was not coping Raven, she really understood what was going on and why she needed to cheer Summer.

"Stog!" Mia said "Summy nee to be stog!"

Summer's eyes were still wet and some sobs were still coming out of her mouth but Summer was able to say "Mii…" after that she turn to see her other cousin. Unlike Mia's happy face, Raven had a more stoic face but when that little pair of silver-eyes began to see her and the word "Rae.." come out of Summer's mouth, Raven only smiled.

"Bii sis" she said "Summy, yu gonna be a bii sis. Be stog!"

Summer did not say a single thing after that, she clean her eyes and after that with a determined look on her face, she exclaimed "Bii is!". That scene had been cute for several reasons, Raven and Mia acting like Summer's big sisters and Summer's attempt to say "Big sister". However, the pride would never allow the three men in that room to admit that what they saw was adorable.

"I never excpeted this" Winter said "Raven and Mia understand the situation better than I thought"

"Of course they understand perfectly" Yang said "After all, they're smart like their beautiful and wonderfull mother"

"Well" Blake said "I think that they were able to calm Summer because they got this kind and comfortable big sister aura from their lovely mom"

Being sitting between a couple who had begun to flirth with each other was pretty awkward but Winter did her best to ignore it. Raven and Mia's hands had already leave Summer's head, so Winter decided to caress her niece's hair, that action made Summer look at her aunt. The little girl looked calmer and she could not help herself but smile at the little girl.

"Don't worry, before you realize it you'll see your parents again"

As if those words had been magic words a nurse show up in the room just for say the next.

"Excuse me, I need two relatives and the new big sister to come with me"

Maybe everyone had been busy paying attetntion to Raven, Mia and Summer that they did not noticed the cry or maybe the baby had not been very noisy. Whichever the reason had been nobody care, the new member of the family had finally arrived. The bad part about that was that only two relatives and Summer were allowed in the room but it was understandable, after all the family was big and the hospital staff did not want a crowded room.

"I'm going" Winter said while getting up of her seat with Summer, obviously, in her arms "Who else is coming?"

"I'll stay" Blake said "I don't think I can take Raven and Mia with me if I go"

"I pass" Yang said "As much as I want to meet my new niece, I can't leave my children behind"

"I won't go to that room if you are there!" Qrow said, after all spending who knows how much hours in the same room as Winter had been enough, in his own words, "torture" for him.

"Well…." Tai said trying his besto to look at Jacques but it was pretty uncomfortable "Neither of you was here when Raven, Mia and Summer were born, it would make sense if you two go"

Without a single word Jacques Schnee just got up of his seat, Winter did not say anything either while the nurse just said "Please follow me". The past few days, Winter and her father had, somehow, improved their relationship. They even had some "quality time" because Weiss and Ruby asked them to choose a name for the new baby, the name had to start with "S" and end with "er". After choosing the name they had not spoken a lot, the nurse must had feel awkward because she quickly began to talk.

"The baby is very interesting, she barely cried and a soon as we put her in her mother's arms she began to laugh, she'll be a very cheerful girl"

Some seconds after that they arrived to the room. Summer did not waste time when she saw her Mom, she rised her arms while "Mo! Mo!" was coming out of her mouth, Ruby quickly took her daugther.

"You missed us" Ruby said playfully "There's someone who want to meet you"

"Ma!" Summer said when she was finally able to see Weiss, she looked very exhausted but also happy, in that moment Weiss was unable to hug her older daugther but thanks to Ruby, Summer was able to give a little hug to her mother. In a matter of seconds Summer turned to see the bunch of blankets that were in her mother's arms and she was unable to hide her surprise when she saw what was inside the blankets. Ruby and Weiss smiled when they saw Summer's reaction.

"Summer" Weiss said "She's your little sister"

The little baby was awake, her eyes were blue and her hair was white with some red parts in other words reddish-white. As the nurse had said the little girl was cheerful, she just smiled and raised her little arm when she saw her big sister. Some seconds after that Summer turned to see her mothers.

"Bii is!" she exclamed "I, bii is!"

"Hey! Who taught you that word?" Ruby said, hear Summer say a new work was always a nice surprise, even if most of the time she was unable to understand what Summer was trying to say "You're trying to say "Big sister", right?"

"You can blame Raven and Mia for that and yes, she's trying to say Big sister" Winter said as she approached to her younger sister "You must be tired"

"I am but I just need to rest" she turn to see the baby in her arms "Look, she's one of your aunts"

There were some seconds of silence after that and suddenly Winter's face turned totally red. She began to muttering a lot of things, like how could the baby be so cute, how small she was, how she looked like Weiss and something about fluffy hair. Ruby and Weiss looked at each other, somehow they had expected that reaction, after all, even if Winter did not want to admit it, her nieces were her weakness.

"Do you want to hold her?" Weiss said "Ruby already did it, you should be the next one"

Winter's answer was obviously "yes", thought, she was not very sure about it. It had been a while since she had hold a newborn. Hold the head first was the more important thing but, without any warming, Jacques hold his granddaugther, now that was unexpected. Seconds of silence followed that action, actually no much silence since the baby was laughing, and Jacques leave the little girl grab his finger, but his face was still stoic, and finally he decide to talk.

"Weiss birthed her but part of her hair is red" he turned to see Ruby "I must admit it, your genes are strong"

"Is he complaining about it or just pointing something out!?" Whatever the answer was she needed to say something "Thank you. I guess"

"Em…Father. May I?"

Without saying much, Jacques put the baby on Winter's arms and the baby cuteness struck her again. Her face turned red and she began to whisper things about her niece, when Ruby saw how her father-in-law was approaching Weiss, she decided to stay near Winter. She did not know what was going to happen but it was better to give them space even if the only thing that was happening between them was just an awkward silence. Their relationship had not improved at all….but at least they were trying.

"How are you feeling?" Jaques ask.

"I'm fine just a little tired"

"I'm….glad to hear that"

They returned to the silence after that. Weiss was thinking about the question that her father had made, he had sounded a little worried, Weiss know that her father was not the kind of person who showed his feelings but there were feelings that he could not hide and fear was one of them. Ginko Schnee had die shortly after her second childbirth and Weiss could not stop thinking that maybe her father was feared that the same thing would happen to her but that was just a possibility. But even if it was a possibility, it was someting that was making Weiss see her father in a different light, it would be a long way before they could speak about their feelings with each other, at least they were, kind of, taking the first step. Some seconds passed and once again Jaques was the first one in starting the conversation.

"The girl looks like you but something is telling me that she is going to have Rose's personality"

"It won't hurt you to call Ruby by her name, hearing you calling her Rose….makes me think that you don't see her as a part of the family"

There were also times in which he called Yang, Blake, Qrow and Tai by their surnames and in Summer, Raven and Mia's case he normally used "Girl" or "You".

"I won't lie" he said "My first impresion of her wasn't the best but lately….my opinion of her has been changing….not only her's but her whole family"

"They are my and your family too"

"Her father and uncle are both nice guys, even if Branwen and Winter have a horibble chemistry, her sister's family….honestly when I saw them I started to ask myself "What was my problem with the faunus?" and in these last days, I had seen how Rose cares about you….she really love you with all her heart"

"And I love her with all my heart too"

"Ehm….."

That was the moment in which Weiss and Jacques noticed Ruby and Summer, they did not know how much of their conversation she had hear but it was more than sure that she had hear the last part. Meanwhile Summer was pointing at her little sister and aunt while she was saying "Naee", it was the first time she said that.

"Weiss, What is she trying to say?" Jacques ask.

"I….don't know. Summer is in the stage of life in which she try to repeat everything she hear" she turned to see Ruby, she looked more calm "Ruby, What did you say in front of her?"

"W-well, we asked Winter and….uhm…." Even after all this time Ruby did not know how to call her father-in-law "Your father to choose a name for the baby, I asked Winter about it but as you see…."

The three of them turned to see Winter, she was still muttering about how her new nice was cute, how Summer was cute, how Raven and Mia were also cute and she was also asking to her herself how her niece were so cute. It was official, Winter Schnee was lost in her own world and she did not have a single clue about what was going on around her. Suddenly Jacques felt how he was been watched, if his older daugther could not answer the question of the baby's name then he was the only one who can answer it.

"You two asked Winter and I to choose a name that starts with "S" and ends with "er". It wasn't easy, we end up with a list full of names but none of them sounded right and when we were about to give up, Winter said something that gave me an idea, I hope you like it"

There were a little pause and during that little period of time Jacques turned to see Ruby for a few seconds thinking about how he should call her, she did not notice it.

"Weiss and Ruby the name that Winter and I choose is Silver, Silver Rose-Schnee. I hope you like it"

Weiss and Ruby looked at each other and just smiled, for them the name had been kind of obvious but still….Summer and Silver sounded wonderful together.

"We love it" Weiss said "Thanks…dad"

"Yeah, thanks….ehm…Jacques" Ruby felt that she should had use the "Mr" with that but right now that does not really matter.

Meanwhile in the delivery room. Raven and Mia have fall asleep while the rest where making their guesses about the baby's name, "I bet their going to call her Silver" Yang had said making Blake and Qrow turn to see her, since they know that she was not making a guess. Tai just said that the name sounded nice and, of course they wanted to meet the little girl but they needed to wait just some minutes.

Silver Rose-Schnee was born in June 9th and even if she would never knew it, she was one of the reasons of we her grandfather, Jacques Schnee, had decide to improve his relationship with his family.

For now on, the chronology is over. We can pass for babies to grow-up children to babies again, stories pre-children are also possible. I should admit that the next chapter something like the "Character profile" and "Goodbye letter" chapters of the previous fic, basically, no chapter just an extra, I need to give some information that is important for the world building of this AU. Also, sorry for any kind of error, I was kind of sleepy when I checked this one. Well, as always, I hope everyone had enjoyed, leave a review, fav or follow an see you next time.

Atte. Kaze-chan.
