Velvet and Doctor Oobleck were both very anxious as they waited for the elevator to reach Ozpin's office. Velvet was very quiet, her ears twitching, and she jumped at the slightest noise. Oobleck seemed incapable of standing still, and was pacing quickly around the confined space. Their tension only intensified as they heard the soft ding that meant they had arrived.

Ozpin looked up from the papers he was looking over as the two entered. "Hello, Dr. Oobleck, Miss Scarlatina. What can I do for you today?"

Deciding to just get it over with, Velvet stepped forward. "Professor Ozpin, I'm here to… To request the papers required to drop out of Beacon."

For the first time since Oobleck had known him, Ozpin seemed taken aback. "Why in the world would you want to drop out?"

This was the hard part, but she forced herself to speak, although she was unable to keep her voice steady. "I… I'm pregnant… I can no longer attend Beacon…"

Ozpin looked between her and Oobleck before closing his eyes and rubbing his temples. "I told you both to be careful ."

"We were," Oobleck told him. "We were extremely cautious. But sometimes, all the precautions in the world are simply not enough."

"Clearly." Ozpin sighed and pulled a packet of papers out of one of his desk drawers. "Miss Scarlatina, please fill these out and deliver them to me as quickly as possible."

"Yes sir…"

Ozpin turned his attention to Oobleck. "As for you… I cannot deny I am disappointed, but we cannot change what has happened. I am putting you on probation until further notice. One more wrong move, and I will be forced to discharge you."

Oobleck was very startled. "Even now, you will still allow me to keep my job?"

"Miss Scarlatina, are you going to press charges or claim this was not consensual?"

"No, of course not," she replied quickly.

"Doctor Oobleck, do you intend to do the proper thing here?"

"Naturally. It's the way I was raised," he confirmed. Velvet didn't fully understand what he meant, but Ozpin did.

"Then there is no reason for me to resort to drastic measures. This is out of my hands. Of course, if you want me to fire you…"

"No, no, I do not wish that in the slightest."

"Good. Then you both may go."

As they left Ozpin's office, Velvet looked at Oobleck. "So… Um, what did you mean by doing the proper thing here?"

"Hm? Oh, right… I probably should have discussed that with you first…"

"Discussed what with me?"

"Well… Considering that you are having my child… I was always taught that the proper thing to do was… marriage." Velvet froze in shock. Oobleck panicked and started to backpedal. "Although, if you do not wish to enter that kind of binding relationship with me, I am in no position to try to change your mind or force your hand."

"Oh, no! I mean, yes, I mean… Yes, I would love to marry you," the flustered girl finally managed to say, her face red.

Oobleck smiled warmly and pulled her in to kiss her. They held for a few seconds before breaking away. "I love you, Velvet Scarlatina. I will be very happy to have you as my wife."

Velvet smiled happily at him. "And I love you, Bartholomew Oobleck. I'd like nothing more than to have you as my husband." An uneasy look slowly appeared on her face. "I suppose I should go talk to my team about this…"

Oobleck's expression changed to that of fear. "Perhaps I should not be present for this."

Velvet gave him a nervous look. "I really don't want to face Coco on my own…"

Oobleck made the mistake of looking into his new fiancee's big, sweet, brown eyes. He could never say no to those eyes. "Very well, I will come with you."

She smiled sweetly. "Thank you!"
