TheNiemand- I see but you really shouldn't assume that I have seen Django, which I haven't. You shouldn't assume that I have seen anything of what you or anyone else has except for what you know I've seen whicvh so far are Naruto and RWBY. The rest is a complete mystery.
Masterix- Thank you.
Summer-Rose-RWBY- Again, thank you.
It had been nearly two years since the Grimm assault on Patch and life hadn't changed too much. Yang was nearing a full two years alive on Remnant and was currently being taught how to walk by Taiyang. She had already said her first word, that being: 'Hunt'. Rather fitting really.
A loud noise came from a different room, it sounded like a cry of glee. Raven, who was watching over Tai teaching Yang, pulled herself from the couch and walked towards the room currently being inhabited by her brother Qrow and her, arguably, best friend, Summer Rose.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, it opened and in front of her was a very excited Summer who was holding a small rectangular object in her hand. "What happened?", Raven asked with a very curious expression on her face.
In response, Summer just handed her the small object in her hand. Raven looked at it quizzically before realising just what this object was, "A pregnancy test?"
Summer nodded enthusiastically and was drawn into a hug by the once stoic and cold dark haired woman who looked over the white-caped woman's shoulder to see her brother with a huge grin on his face though was also blinking in surprise.
"Raven, I-I'm so happy", Summer was crying. By this point, Tai, who was carrying Yang on his shoulders, arrived. Having heard all of it, the grin on his face could not be contained in a normal looking manner and it seemed to stretch to his ears. It didn't actually but still.
Yang, still not really able to decipher what her parents or aunt and uncle were saying, was grinning because she saw that they were happy and her toddler logic told her that she was meant to be happy as well.
"What are you going to call it?", Tai asked. He was ready to think up possible nicknames to call the child.
"I want to call them Ruby if it's a girl or Ruben if they are a boy", Qrow didn't look like he was going to argue, too wrapped up in the glee of the moment.
"Either way I'm going to call them Rubes", Tai admitted. He didn't need a nickname for Yang as her name was short but he quite often called her 'Firecracker', 'Firework' or 'Dragon', all of which annoyed Raven. Summer however loved them and used them as much if not more than Taiyang.
Nevertheless, they all felt happy that there was going to be another addition to the small Team STRQ family. They hoped that nothing would ever ruin this for them, then they remembered that the Grimm existed and a collective sighed came which confused Yang, still sitting on her father's shoulders.
Six months had passed since Summer realised that she had become pregnant. They discovered from the doctors at the hospital that she was already a month into the pregnancy.
They had come to find out the gender of the developing child. "I can say that your child, Mr Branwen, will be a girl."
The doctor, Dr Marshall, was talking to Qrow directly while Summer listened in, when the revelation came started crying in glee. Qrow smiled and helped the encumbered Summer to her feet and they walked out, thanking Dr Marshall as they left. Just outside their room was Raven, Taiyang and a now two year old Yang, who was able to walk on her own.
"Well?", Raven asked, her eyes full of excitement for her brother and friend.
"It's a girl."
Yang, who was now able to fully comprehend speech, went a little bit down. She had wanted the child to be a boy but nature just wouldn't let that happen. Raven noticed her daughter's sadness and picked the little blonde up and hugged her.
Summer and Qrow looked a little glum at their niece's reaction but kept a happy face as even if that was a bit saddening, the idea of having a child was more powerful and outweighed the other emotions in sheer magnitude.
"So, two months left then," Qrow tried to redirect the conversion so Yang wouldn't notice their dismay at her reaction. She was but a toddler, she didn't understand much of the world.
"Yes, I'm both excited and scared for when the actual birth will come," Summer slightly awkwardly continued.
"Yes, that's both the worst and best bit in pregnancy," Raven had what appeared to be a fond smile, as if remembering agood memory.
"If I recall correctly, you swore your face off and tried to curse me to, and I quote, 'the foulest pits of hell'"
Raven looked indignant, "Tai, you know I don't like being reminded of that."
"No but it is funny to remember and see the look on your face," for this, Tai was smacked deftly around the ear.
Yang started giggling with childish glee. Everyone smiled, the little blond girl was no longer saddened and the overall mood had been lifted thanks to Tai making a comment at Raven's expense. Who knew it was that simple?
The nerve wracking two months had ended, the day of Ruby's birth was upon them. Summer's water had broken 10 minutes ago and she was currently in the pregnancy ward of Patch Hospital.
Summer was laying in the bed they used for births and was in a great deal of pain. Raven had warned her about this but she didn't think it would be as bad as it was.
"Push! Come on, you can do it! Yes, I can see the head. Not much more now. Push!" this was all that Qrow, Tai, Raven and Yang could hear.
Summer's water had broken while she had been watching a news report about a White Fang protest and the violence they had been shown. Mind you, it was in Atlas, so the anti-faunus bigotry was not only to be expected but rampant amongst all areas of society. None of Team STRQ understood why some people were so bigoted. They weren't the ones on the receiving end.
The air was tense, so rigid that a jackhammer would be needed to break through it. The clock ticked by, seeming to go slower as each second passed on. 3 minutes later, they heard a loud sigh of relief from Summer and not the uncomfortable groans and moans they had been subjected to for the past 13 minutes.
"Congratulations Summer, you have a healthy baby girl," the unmistakable voice of Dr Marshall could be heard.
After a stale and lengthy pause, Summer came out the door, in her arms was a bundle and on her face was the largest grin ever seen, "Well guys, would you like to meet Ruby?"
Yang, almost immediately ran towards Summer but was caught by Tai who picked the lilac eyed girl up and on to his shoulders. Qrow walked by and tentatively took Ruby from Summer, "Her eyes are different coloured in each eye. What was that called again?"
"Heterochromia," Raven replied, looking at the newborn in her brother's arms, "It is very odd, red and silver."
"Do you think she would be mocked for it?", Tai asked uneasily.
"The vindictive people would unfortunately do so. I'd imagine that the rest would find it cool or just sort of acknowledge it but never comment on it."
Yang was just staring down at Ruby, as if assessing the younger girl. That's what Summer thought her niece was doing. You could never be sure with the 2-year old blond.
"Let's go home, shall we," it would later be that the smile that Summer gave would melt the heart of any nan, even Jacques Schnee.
Two things I quickly want to address. First of all, I want to apologise for how long it took, it was surprisingly hard figuring out what to do for this chapter but it has been sorted and here it is. Secondly, I know it's the shortest one yet but the next will be much longer and won't contain any timeskips. I promise.
See ya
