Good evening to you all, hello. Happy (late) Easter! Did the Easter Bunny bring you lots of gifts? Well, he's about to bring you one more gift, a new chapter of this story. Sorry I didn't get it up until late, but I had a busy day. I didn't have a whole lot of time to actually get behind a computer and type this out. Oh well, better late than never, am I right?
Anywhat, this chapter is mostly my attempt at 'fluff'. Can I pull it off?
Whatever, let's just get this chapter over with.
RWBY © Rooster Teeth/Monty Oum (R.I.P)
*7 months after the wedding. At the house Weiss bought for them*
*Povelitel's P.O.V*
Ah, days like these are the days I like the most. No having to kill Grimm, no having to stop criminals, I can just sit around the house doing almost nothing. And I get to do it with my lovely wife.
"Oh, Pov!"
Speak of the Grimm.
"Hey, hot stuff. What's up?"
*They kiss*
"Not much. Hey, I got you a present."
"Oh really?"
That's unlike Yang. Just giving someone a present for no real reason. It's not my birthday, and there are no holidays coming up soon. Whatever, I'm not one to pass up free stuff.
"What is it?"
"It's not much, Pov. But I saw it at the store, and I just thought of you. Here."
It's a coffee mug. Not all that exciting, but whatever, still a nice gesture. Plus I like coffee.
"Thanks Yang. You know I like coffee."
*drinks it*
"Ah, not bad."
"Did you see what was written inside the mug, Pov?"
Oh, there's something written inside the mug? What does it say? It says…
Remnant's best Daddy
"WHAT?!"
Is… is she really… it can't be! Oh my Oum!
"Yep, that's right, Pov. I'm pregnant."
Oh, Monty! I can't… Yang… pregnant… father… baby… coffee mug… awpt8ou235...oeqirjgn4802ubnweofivhnw409tuhy840vtuinw40iuhy3409ubvnw40hy346098hgnwr0e8u9bn47hg3rpiuvn240gnrpijvn24hrtpvu24057hye10ryuvk283ufhe290ucnw1890uhrt03ruivnmkzx909fi24jg0jrtnrv0824uht50ubn249084th350ugn420t5uh380unv4208u5h5t8uv24ghnrbn924085hyjrb!
*Yang's P.O.V*
"Pov? Pov! You alright?!"
Maybe this was a bad idea. I should have eased him into the news. Not just outright told him. I think I might have broken him.
Oh well, what's done is done, and I can't change it. It also doesn't change the fact that I am pregnant. I really hope that I turn out to be a better mother to it than Raven was to me. Unlike her, I have no plans to abandon my baby. He or she will also have both loving parents to raise it. That is, if Pov ever snaps out of his shock.
*5 minutes later*
*Povelitel's P.O.V*
p134i9tnevjopknq35yijn5ypbu nqwepth8429pgnepruvgnj356p98uyhrp9uvn 589ty4puggnh4659... dpojgnh24p69uynwefpfiv4... 35ipbtoefhivb4p… ewgpu45jgh… parent… pregnant… father. I'm going to be a father. I don't believe it. I am going to be a parent. I actually feel… happy.
"A father. I will be a father."
"That's right, Pov."
"I feel, so happy right now! I can't wait to be a father!"
"I'm so glad to hear that, Pov. And I can't wait to be a mother."
I really hope she does a better job of doing it than her own mother is. I'm sure she will.
*1 and a half months later*
*Yang's P.O.V*
"Yang, are you really sure that you should be doing this? I mean, something is telling me that going on a mission while you're pregnant is a bad idea."
I never thought Pov would be such a worrywart. He never seemed to mind when I went off on missions before. What's different now? Only that I have a baby growing in me. It hasn't slowed me down yet. Maybe if it does, I'll start to consider taking a break.
"Yes, I'm sure. Besides, they asked for Team RWBY directly. Not Team RWB. Plus, this is in an unexplored part of Remnant. I want to see some new sights, maybe kill some new Grimm. Don't try and stop me, Pov. If you do, I'll just knock you out and leave anyway."
He better not call my bluff, I would do it.
"That's true, Yang. If I locked you up, you would just find a new way out. Alright, fine, whatever. But at least promise me that this will be the last mission until the kid comes out. You know I don't care about a lot, but I do care about you, very deeply."
"I know, Pov. And I promise."
Though, perhaps I can convince him to wait until I'm a little further into my pregnancy before I completely stop. I need to have fun too.
I wonder how the rest of the team will react when I tell them I'm pregnant. I still can't believe I haven't told them yet. Oh well, I will before this mission is complete.
*In the forests of Vale*
Man, maybe Pov was right, maybe I shouldn't take anymore missions for a while. We've only been here for a short time, and already I'm tired. This kid's gonna take a lot out of me.
"Yang! Where are you?!"
"Over here, sis!"
Took them long enough to realize I've fallen behind. I guess this is where I tell them of my baby.
"Yang, where were you? You can't just leave like that. What happened?"
"Sorry, guys. It's just a little harder for me to keep up these days since, well, I'm pregnant."
"Oh, if that's it, I guess I can let it slide this… what!?"
There it is. It always took Ruby a moment to react to things like this. Now, how will they all react? I predict Ruby, in typical Ruby fashion, will get really excited about getting to be an aunt.
"Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh! I'm going to be an aunt! Oh, I'm so happy for you, big sis! You have to let me baby-sit for you sometime! Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Ruby."
"I will buy it the cutest little toys ever."
"Ruby!"
"I think it will look really cute with…"
"RUBY!"
"What?"
Took her long enough.
"Calm down. The baby's not even born yet. You'll have to wait a while before you can do any of that stuff."
"Aw, I hate having to wait."
"I know. But I'm sure you'll still be a good aunt. You'll all get to be aunts."
Let's see, I predict Blake, in typical Blake fashion, will keep her monotone, but will still be happy for me.
"Congratulations, Yang. I know that you will be a great mother. I'll be honest though, I kind of thought that Sun and I would be the first to have kids."
Oh, that's right. I read in a book that Faunus are much more… sexually active, than humans. Should I tease her on that? Nah, maybe later. I can tell she's just happy for me now.
"Thanks, Blakey. I'm sure one day, you will have kittens of your own."
I now predict Weiss, in typical Weiss fashion, will find something to whine and complain about.
"You dolt!"
Man, I'm good.
"How could you even think to come out here with us while you're pregnant? Don't you know that is you get hurt, it could hurt the baby? WHAT WERE YOU THINKNG?!"
"Oh, you sound just like Pov. Only not as much yelling."
I'm so glad that Pov is the mellow type.
"I'm only 2 months in, what could really happen? Besides, Pov made me promise this would be my last mission until after the kid pops out."
"It better be, Yang. I don't want my little niece or nephew to be hurt before birth."
"Alright, Ruby. LOOK OUT!"
*A Grimm comes out of the bushes and tries to kill Yang*
*Bang!*
"There is no way any of you Grimm are going to kill my sister! Or her little baby! C'mon, girls. Let's finish off these Grimm! Yang, you just stay back. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I have no say in this, do I Ruby?"
"Nope, ya don't, sis. As team leader, I order you to stay back while Weiss, Blake, and I finish the mission."
Sometimes, I curse the fact that Ozpin made her team leader all those years ago.
*7 months later*
*Povelitel's P.O.V*
"Any day now, huh Yang?"
"That's right. I'm ready for this thing to come out of me. I feel really fat."
"Come on, could be worse. You could end up like Lucas, be really fat like him. I hope the mission the rest of my team is on gets him back into shape. Not like he was the picture of health back during Beacon."
"Still, first thing I'm gonna do once I get out of the hospital is hit the gym. I'll have to drop the baby weight really… uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Oh no. Not now. Not now! Not while we're in the middle of the highway!
"What is it, Yang?"
"I think the baby's coming!"
Dammit! I said not now!
"Hold on! We're going to the hospital."
*Time freeze*
I'm so glad that red lights, stop signs, and speed limit signs have no meaning when time is frozen.
*drives like a madman to the hospital*
*Normal time*
"Alright, we're here, Yang. Let's go."
"Hold on Pov. Let me.. AHHH… text my family and friends."
She's right. I should text my parents too. I'm glad they're here in Vale right now. Mom really wants to meet her grandkid.
*in the delivery room*
"Push, Mrs. Vremeni. I need you to push!"
"I AM PUSHING! YOU DID THIS TO ME, POV! I'M GOING TO… AHHHH! KILL YOU!"
She's killing me enough just by making me hold her hand during this. I can feel her semblance getting stronger by the second.
*23 minutes later*
"We're almost there. Keep going."
*more screaming*
"DAMN YOU, POVELITEL! WHEN WE'RE DONE HERE, I'M GOING TO…!"
*CRUNCH*
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
OH OUM! MY ARM! She broke my arm! Her semblance has given her the strength to snap my arm!
*Povelitel falls due to his pain and snaps his eyes shut*
"Almost there! One more."
*One last, bloodcurdling scream everyone on Remnant most likely heard*
…
Oh, thank Monty. The sweet sound of silence. At long last.
*baby cries*
Damn. Spoke too soon. At least I know the kid's alive. Hopefully healthy, too.
"Congratulations. You two have a boy."
Boy. It's a boy. I have a son. Sweet. The Vremeni name shall live on. Why can I not shake the feeling we forgot something though? Ugh! My arm is killing me!
"Alright then. We need to run a few tests to make sure both mother and child are healthy. And you should get that arm of yours checked out, Mr. Vremeni."
"Arm? Doctor, what are you talking about… Oh Monty! Pov, your arm! What happened to it?"
"You broke it with your semblance! No, don't touch it! AAAAAAHHHH!"
This hurts! This hurts! I can't believe Yang did this! I can't really blame her, though. Not like she can really control her semblance. Yeesh, she looks scared. I haven't seen her this scared since the day she was falsely accused of breaking that one guy's leg during the Vytal Tournament all those years ago. What was his name again? Marcus? Ow! My arm.
"It's fine, Yang. Not your fault. I blame your semblance. I gotta go get this looked at. I'll be back later."
Ow! Why the hell did I let her talk me into clasping her hand during this whole thing? I should have known this would happen.
"Povelitel?"
Maybe she can help my arm. Kind of convenient that I would meet them right outside the room.
"Hey mom. Hey dad. You come all this way for the kid?"
"Indeed, Povelitel. Your mother insisted upon it. What happened to your arm?"
Just the point I was waiting for them to make.
"Yang broke it with her semblance while we were in there."
"Really, what exactly is her semblance?"
"She draws power from hits she takes, damage she receives in battle, and adds it to her own physical strength."
"Oh dear. Well if that's true, it's no wonder she broke your arm so easily. Would you like me to fix it for you, sweetheart?"
"Thank you, mom."
*Catherine uses her healing semblance to fix Povelitel's arm*
"Sweet. All patched up."
"Well of course. Who else is going to feed and change the baby when the mother doesn't feel like it? Ask your father that question."
Son of a bitch! Maybe I should have left my arm broken a little while longer. Too late now. Dammit! Whatever.
"Alright, I'm headed back in there. I'll come and get you later. Go wait in the waiting room or something. I don't know. Later."
*back in the delivery room*
"You alright there, hot stuff?"
"I am, how 'bout you, Pov?"
"Better now. I'm glad I ran into my mother out there."
"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Vremeni. I just wanted to say that your son is perfectly healthy. Congratulations."
*nurse hands the baby to Yang*
"Thanks, nurse. Oh, he's so cute! Look Pov, he has your eyes."
"Well, kid's most definitely got your hair."
He may not have a lot of hair right now, but it definitely ain't mine. It's very blonde, even more so than Yang's. I didn't think that was possible.
"What should we name him, Pov? How about Sapphire?"
What? Is Yang crazy?
"That's a girl's name. We're not calling him that. We could name him Scott. That's a boy's name."
"Uh, no. That sounds dumb. How about Peter, after your old man."
The hell is Yang smoking? Why even suggest naming him after dad?
"Trust me, Yang. You don't want to do that. He tried forcing that name on me when I was born. Same goes for my sister. Naming my kid after him would only boost dad's ego."
*Povelitel takes the kid*
"Alright. How about we try something unique? How about… Kagayaki?"
"That still sounds like a girl's name. So no. But it's close."
Think, Vremeni. What do you call this kid? Kagayaki, Kogayaki, Kogay, Kogey. Wait, I think I have it!
"What about… Kogane?"
"Kogane?"
"Yeah, just fell in my head. I think it has a nice ring to it. What do you think, Yang?"
"Hmm. You're right, Pov. It does have a nice ring to it. Yes, Kogane. Kogane Branwen Vremeni."
Wonder where she came up with a middle name like 'Branwen'. Probably after her uncle Qrow Branwen. He did train Yang and Ruby, after all.
"Then it's settled. Kogane Vremeni."
*baby starts squealing*
"I think he likes it, Pov."
"Good, 'cause I ain't creative enough to think of any more names. Nor will I try."
"I must say, you two have chosen a lovely name for him. Anyway, would you like to start having visitors come in to see the baby?"
That nurse is right! We still need to let my parents and the others come in.
*hands Kogane to Yang*
"Sure. I'll go and grab them. I'll be right back. See ya, Yang. Kogane."
*Povelitel goes to waiting room*
Wow, I can tell everyone's worried about Yang. I can see Ruby literally shaking rose petals. Time to put them at ease.
"Ahem."
*Ruby, Weiss, and Blake run up to Povelitel, shouting questions at him. Taiyang, Qrow, and Povelitel's parents also walk up to him*
I feel crowded. I can't make out what anyone is saying. I can barely hear myself think. Let's see if I can get some quiet from them.
*raises his hand for silence*
"Would you like to see them?"
"YES!"
Wow, so that's what it's like to have 7 people shout the same word to you at once.
"Alright, let's go."
*Yang's P.O.V*
Well, here comes everyone to see me and my baby. I hope they love him as much as I do. I already feel like I'm doing better than Raven.
"Yang? Are you alright?"
Such a concerned little sister, Ruby is.
"Yes Rubes. I'm fine. I'm just fine. Both me, and my son, are just fine."
"Son? A boy? It's a boy. I have a nephew. Yay!"
"Ha, told you it would be a boy. Pay up, Tai."
"Whatever, Qrow. Fine, here's your 20 lien."
Really? Dad and Qrow were betting on the gender of my baby? Why am I even surprised? Of course they would do something like that.
"Well, does he have a name, Yang?"
"Yeah, he's got to have a name."
Ah, Blake and Weiss. Always right to the point.
"He does. Everyone, may I introduce you to my son, Kogane Branwen Vremeni."
"Killer name."
Oh course Qrow would think that. 'Branwen' is his middle name.
"Can I hold him, Yang?"
"Sure Ruby. Just be careful."
*hands the baby to Ruby.*
"Hi there. I'm your Aunt Ruby. Oh my gosh, you're so cute! I just want you to know, that I'm going to spoil you mercilessly. I'll feed you so many cookies that you'll turn into a piggy. A little piggy! Oink oink oink oink oink oink!"
*baby starts giggling*
Kogane seems to be unable to contain himself around the adorableness that is his aunt. And Ruby seems to be unable to contain herself around the adorableness that is her nephew, she's smothering him with kisses.
"Alright, pig girl. Let everyone else have a turn with him."
*after everyone else has had a turn with him*
"Alright folks, I'm afraid you have to leave. Visiting hours are over."
Leave it to a doctor to be a total killjoy. Great.
"Wait. Before you all go, can you come here, I want to take a pic with you guys before you're Ko-gone-e. Huh? Huh? Nothing? Not even you?"
Even my own baby is giving me an annoyed glance.
"If nothing else, I hope that the kid inherits my sense of humor."
"Oh, like yours is much better than mine, Pov."
"Not much, but still better."
Note to self, get back at Pov for that comment once you're out of the hospital.
Another chapter down! Huzzah! Before I say much, let me establish one thing:
Kogane loosely translates out to 'golden one' in Japanese.
This chapter was, like I said, me attempting to write fluff. I hope I did well. For those of you who want more fighting in my story, please be patient. I do have some more fight scenes planned for later on. Just give me a couple more chapters to get everything in place. After that, I assure you, there will be violence, and lots of it.
How do you guys think Yang would do as a mother? Personally, I think that she'll be very careful with the kid, and herself. She wouldn't want the baby to grow up the same way she did, without a mother. A real mother. Summer was nice and all, but not Yang's real mom. At the same time though, I imagine that once he's old enough, (or maybe sooner) Yang will start teaching the kid the way of the punch, as well as the way of the pun. Hopefully Povelitel stops her from doing at least one of those things. (kid needs to know how to defend himself.) Lastly, I imagine Yang would struggle at first, mothering doesn't seem like her kind of thing, but she'll learn eventually. If what you think is different, let me know. I want to write as realistically as possible. Just be nice. I will not tolerate flames.
The next update will be on Tuesday. Be prepared, I have a 3 day break from work coming up, and I intend to post a chapter each of those days. So until that 3 day break, leave some feedback in the form of a follow, a favorite, and a review. See you Tuesday. Hasta la vista, baby!
