"Jaune! How could you hide from us you have a daughter!?" Ruby screeched, pointing an accusatory finger at the boy. He didn't saw it though, as he was too busy covering his eyes to not see the naked girl sat at their study desks.

"What? I didn't hide anything! I never knew of this girl! And she's too old to possible me my daughter!"

"You almost sound like you could have a daughter at all." Weiss scoffed, then there was a long silence. "Oh. My. God! You… you…. You pervert!"

"Hey! I was fifteen! And we used protection! And my sex life is not the point! Can someone give the girl some clothes?!" Jaune shouted back, and Blake sighed and grabbed one of Nora's pink shirts and pout on the girl, that didn't offer much resistance. She had a long and thin tail, covered in golden scales, and a pair of bat-like wings, forcing her to open slits on the t-shit so she could spread them.

"You know, we can just ask her who she is." Blake affirmed, as the girl dropped from the desk and walked towards the middle of the room.

"I'm those two's daughter." The girl affirmed as she pointed to Yang and Jaune, and both stared at each other, blushed and stared back at the girl in shock.

"I don't remember Yang being pregnant, or meeting Jaune before…" Ruby said as she scratched the back of her head.

"Because I was never pregnant! Alright, let's all calm down. There's a perfect logical explanation for all of this." Yang affirmed, and the dragon girl sighed.

"The blonde ones found my egg and their Aura resonated with me, making me hatch. It's quite simple, actually." She explained, and while the explanation made sense and all, they still couldn't believe it.

"But… I… Jaune! Help!" Yang said and he groaned and sat up.

"Look, we just need to calm down. Instead of trying to solve this by ourselves, let's call Ms. Goodwitch and talk with her. I'm sure she will have an explanation for this." Jaune said as he stared at the girl, curious about her, but also feeling some sort of connection to her. "Say, what's your name?"

"I don't have one, dumb dad. I was born just a few hours ago, and then proceeded to take dumb mama to your nest so you two can mate." The dragon girl said, and everyone nodded for a brief moment.

"Wait… WHAT?!" Was the general reaction, except Neo, that rolled on the floor laughing silently.

"What? They do want to mate, I was just helping." She affirmed, and Jaune and Yang stared at each other, then blushed, then she punched him and he spun and fell on his bed. "Human mating rituals are weird…"

"Jaune!" yang shouted as she helped him out. "I'm sorry! It was a reflex!"

"Damn it, you still punch like a truck!" he complained as she checked his face, a little blush on her cheeks. She'd be lying if the thought didn't cross her head once or twice, but she was sure Jaune probably thought of her too.

"I'm sorry! Besides, your Aura was enough to protect you! You know how much you have!" She protested back.

"And he even proves what they say about guys with big Auras." Nora commented off-hand, making everyone turn at her in shocked surprise. "What? I walked into him a few times and couldn't help but see it. It's like…" She made a measurement with her hands, and several faces turned bright red, while Neo kept in her silent laugh.

"Don't you dare to ask more." Weiss hissed at Blake, that was about to ask something but shut it up. "Alright, let's calm down and forget all about this 'mating thing'!"

"Oh, it's not mating season?" The girl wondered, and the heiress gritted her teeth.

"No one is going to mate! And can we stop with this talk? We need to talk about the dragon in the room!" She demanded.

"I think the term for young dragons is dragonet or dragolet." Ren offered, and the heiress facepalmed.

"I'm not talking technicalities here! She looks like no older than eight! And she believes those two stupid blondes are her parents! What we will do about this?!" She screeched.

"Well, she does believe Jaune and Yang are her parents, and I can see the family resemblance, so why should we get involved?" Blake asked, and Yang made a betrayed expression.

"Et tu, partner of mine? And here I was thinking of inviting you to be the godmother!"

"On the other hand, we are pretty much family." Blake quickly amended.

"She's so pretty!" Ruby said as she put the girl in a hug, while the dragonet wailed her arms and legs. "I'm an auntie! I'm so happy! Neo! We're aunties!" Neo simply shrugged it off.

"Alright… alright…" Jaune said as he calmed down a little. "let's go step by step here… What's your name?" He asked the struggling dragonet, that calmed down and spend some time thinking.

"My name is… I don't have one." She said after a time, making everyone groan a little over the anticlimactic 'reveal'.

"Ryuuko." They all turned in surprise at Yang, that shifted a little uncomfortable under their gaze. "What? I like this name…"

"I think it fits her right." Jaune offered, and the girl give it some thought.

"It could've being worse, I guess." Ryuuko said as she escaped Ruby's grasp. "I'm angry, by the way. It's a parents' job to feed their offspring."

"I'm starting to think she have some Weiss on her." Blake affirmed, and the heiress scoffed.

"We still have classes too… and I don't think we should let word go around that a dragonet is living in our room." Jaune wondered. "And I'm not sure we should leave her alone."

"We should make sure the staff don't discover her. At least until we know more about her." Ren suggested.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want them to take her as a study subject." Jaune agreed.

"I don't think any of the staff would treat a little girl as a test subject." Weiss affirmed.


"ACHOO!"

"Bless you, Bart." Peach said as the staff was reunited in their meeting room.

"Thank you, Peach. Someone might be talking about me." Oobleck affirmed.


"Alright, alright. Here's the plan for today… Ryuuko, I need you to remain in this room for the time being. I'll come back with something for you to eat before we have classes. Then we'll meet again before lunch, but no one aside us can see you, alright?" Jaune said, and the girl eyed him distrustful.

"I don't see the point. I'm a dragon, ruler of the skies and land. People should be cowering in fear of me." She affirmed, and that sounded way too cute instead of menacing.

"Maybe if you eat enough meat." Nora chimed in, and the girls belly rumbled.

"Don't enable her!" Yang complained to the Valkyrie girl. "I'll get ready and bring out some food to you, but please be a nice dragon girl and stay in your dad's room."

"As long as I have food." Ryuuko said as she sat on Neo's bed. Yang sighed in relieve and left, and soon everyone started to get ready for school. She observed everyone with curious eyes, especially her parents, and a plan formed in her head.


"Ren and I will go to the library to see what we can find about dragons." Blake affirmed as they returned from lunch. Of course, Nora followed them, while the others returned to their dorms, carrying a bag of food for Ryuuko.

"You know, I'm really excited about being an aunt! I'll spoil my niece so much! And dad will be… no… he will be really mad when he heard you two have a daughter." Ruby affirmed, making Yang groan.

"We aren't telling dad until we decide how we want to deal with this mess. He is too hot-headed to deal with it in a reasonable way. And he would try to murder Jaune."

"But we didn't… you know… made her!" Jaune protested.

"Knowing dad, he would only hear Jaune, Yang, daughter and assume from there." Ruby explained as she patted his arm. "How about your mom?"

"I don't want to tell her for opposite reasons. She would love a granddaughter, she would try to make Yang and I be a thing. And my sisters would go to children's movie level of shenanigans to do so." Jaune sighed as he approached their rooms. As they walked, a group of students passed them worriedly.

"Have you heard? Someone said there's a Grimm flying around!" One of them said.

"Yeah, they said it is like a dragon or something!" another added, making the five friends stop on their tracks before rushing towards their rooms. Opening his door, Jaune noticed that their beds, blankets and mattresses were piled up like it was some kind of cove or nest, and he put his head inside, to not see anyone.

"She hasn't broken inside our room!" Yang came back worriedly. That was when she noticed the open windows. "Jaune!"

"Damn it!" He shouted as he noticed the windows, and started typing on his scroll to call for the others to find the fugitive girl. "I'll have a talk with her about Arcs and their promises!"

"I blame the Xiao Long side for the rebellion." Weiss added, and Yang growled at the heiress.

"Not now! She might be out there, afraid, scared and…" Neo tapped Yang's shoulder and showed her a text. "Or she might have stolen a whole roasted pig from the cafeteria while wearing a sheet over herself…"

"Sound like something you'd do, sis." Ruby teased and Yang growled again.


They found the girl soon enough, napping with the now ruined and dirt white sheet over her, on top of a rock while the sun heated her. The rests of the whole pig were scattered around, and it, for a moment, seemed the work of a dragon, but the lazy smile the girl had while napping broke the illusion soon.

"I can't believe this girl! She scared half Beacon shitless!" Yang complained as she power walked towards her. "And all so she could feast!"

"She eats a lot." Blake deadpanned as she started kicking the bones on the ground together.

"Come on, wake up, you little brat!" The brawler shouted and shook the girl, that slowly squirmed and stretched, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands.

"Mama?" She murmured, and Yang's lost a lot of steam when the girl said that. It did stir her motherly instincts, and the cuteness didn't help to.

"Ryuuko, why you left the room? Didn't your father asked you to stay?" Yang asked, her voice now carrying caring in its tone.

"I was bored… you took too long to come back…" The girl admitted, and the blonde woman stared at Jaune for help. She didn't have in her to chastise the dragonet.

"Ryuuko, we were worried about you. There's many people here with weapons that could hurt you, so when we asked you to stay in our room was because we want to protect you, you understand that?" He said, his tone even and commanding, but not aggressive. The girl stared at her feet but nodded. "You're and Arc, Ryuuko, and an Arc always uphold their word, even if it is just to follow your parents' requests. It's important, because our family are protectors of Remnant, and people trust us."

"Really?!" The girl asked, a little excited about this, and her tail swayed like that of a happy cat.

"Really. You want to be a protector of Remnant?" He asked with a smile, and the girl nodded frantically, so he patted her head. "So, from now one, you'll always fulfill your promises, right, little Arc girl?"

"I promise, papa." She said, and Yang couldn't help but envy how easy those two connected. For Jaune always had this big brother streak, now proving he also would make a good father.

"Alright, not wanting to ruin the moment, but I hear people coming!" Blake said as her cat ears flicked back and forth. A little panic settled on them, before Yang had an idea.

"Neo!"


Glynda walked with a few older students with her. The tales of a mysterious Grimm flying around bothered her to no end, because both options were rather troubling. One that Grimm had broken into Beacon, unlikely as it sounded, especially because Grimm wouldn't cover themselves with a sheet and steal a pig. The other and most likely was that some students decided to pray a prank and scare the staff.

She wouldn't have any of that.

As she scouted the gardens she saw the biggest troublemakers in all Beacon together, teams JNPR and RWBY. While they were all heroes in their own right, she wouldn't allow them to break any rules. She approached them to see them around a…

Was that statue always there?

She approached the odd statue of a flying pig, while eyeing the nervous group of eight. At their feet was a pile of bones, probably pig bones by her experience. Everything was shady, the headmistress thought.

"Hey! Miss G! Nice day uh?" Yang prompted, clearly nervous, while the other shifted uncomfortable.

"Children. I suppose you all know of the last odd occurrence." She affirmed, not asked.

"Y-yeah! We even found what was left of the pig! But we saw none of whatever ate it! Nothing!" Ruby overly energetically affirmed, causing the experienced headmistress to know without a doubt they were hiding something that had eluded her… for now.

"Very well. It's clear whatever it was it wasn't a Grimm…" She deduced by the chewed bones. Grimm didn't eat anything aside people.

"Maybe it was a wild dog that happened to have a sheet on it." Ren suggested as stoic as ever.

"I never heard of a dog with wings and that moved like a monkey…" She affirmed.

"Isn't that a creature from a fairy tale?" Ruby asked as she titled her head. "The one with golden pavement?"

"All I do not want is a Wicked Witch around here." Goodwitch complained.

"Not wanting competition…" A first year dared to say, only to have the back of his head slapped by the headmistress.

"Let's keep searching. You also should keep looking and keep me informed." Glynda said to teams JNPR and RWBY. "And I hope you aren't hiding something of me. I'm still the headmistress, and I still can lash proper punishments." With that she walked away with the rest of the group, and once out of reach, the illusion braking away to reveal Ryuuko under eat.

"That's one scary lady. Is she a dragoness?" The small girl asked.

"No… I think?" Ruby said while Yang sighed.

"Come on, little lady. You already caused too much trouble and you need a bath." The brawler declared as she took the girl by hand and started dragging her back to their dorm.

"But I don't wanna!" Ryuuko protested, dragging her feet.

"Tough luck. Honestly, now I respect dad a little more, but I'm kinda glad he's not here. He'd just hose you clean."

"That was fun, most of times." Ruby chimed in.

"Meh. Dad would just jump on the mud with us." Jaune commented. "Then mom would hose us without warning. Which remind me… I'll have to call her sooner or later."

"Later! Ruby, don't say anything to dad. Both would come running making this mess… messier." Yang warned then she stared at Neo, who had her scroll on hand. "This includes you, midget." Neo blew a raspberry.

"Neo, we're serious here. Mom is great and all, but you saw what happens when she goes full mama bear." Jaune asked the girl and memories of the Arc matriarch defeating half a dozen big Grimm to protect her children was still engraved in Neo's mind. She nodded and they resumed walking, not noticing Neo's face clearly showing she fucked up.


"Stop struggling!"

Yang was having a hard time pushing Ryuuko on the bath, as the girl used her claws to stick to the walls and sink. The girl was incredible strong for her size, and the brawler didn't want to hurt her, but was growing angrier with each attempt. It was made harder as she wasn't wearing her prosthetic arm and had to deal with the girl single-handed.

"It's your fault for getting dirt! Now you need a bath!"

"No!" Was the answer that Yang got, and that was what pushed her to her limit.

"RYUUKO XIAO LONG!" She shouted as her eyes turned red and her hair flared up, scaring the little girl that coiled a little. Yang took a long deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She didn't want to be like that, and especially, if she was to play mother, she didn't want her relationship to turn strained as it was with Raven. "Ryuuko… you say I'm your mama, right?" The girl blinked twice, then gave a shy nod. "My mom, Summer, always told me a mother's job is doing what is best for their children even when they don't see it. I'm not trying to bother you, I'm trying to be sure nothing bad happens to you."

"With a bath?" Ryuuko questioned, eyeing the bath tub.

"Yes. Playing with dirty is mostly fine, but if you don't clean yourself, you might get sick, and I'd be sad if you got sick." Yang said, and Ryuuko finally ungripped of the wall.

"Alright…"


"Do you think Yang needs help?" Ren asked as Jaune helped him fix the beds in place.

"Well, she has her team there, and I'm sure not going inside the bath with Ryuuko. She's not a baby after all. I had a hard time convincing my sisters to sop when I was ten." Jaune answered to his friend.

"I don't see the trouble, Renny and I still bath together." Nora affirmed, causing Ren to sigh while Neo made obscene gestures and received a pillow on the face from Jaune.

"Have you thought of how to tell your mother?" Ren resumed the conversation.

"The truth is the only option. She'll love Ryuuko, but… I don't want to push her on mom, she raised eight children, and now that my dad is gone, I don't want to impose. But I also don't want to impose on Yang's family and I don't want to put her in an orphanage. Not after all Neo told me." Jaune said, and Neo hugged her legs. She was one of the unlucky kids that ended up in a bad orphanage, and was 'rescued' by Roman. She only experienced family love when Jaune's family rescued her after the Fall.

"Quite a pinch. I mean, Renny and I turned fine, but I know not everyone is lucky." Nora added, as Jaune moved to Neo and gave her a hug.

"So, we do have that week of spring break before the Festival, so I was thinking of bringing her home, maybe see if Yang wants to go with her father and talk about Ryuuko. Of course, you two are more than welcome to come." Jaune said and Ren nodded in acceptance, while Nora started beaming and talking about all they'd do. That was when the door opened and Yang came, hair wet and with Ryuuko under her arm. She didn't look happy. "Er…"

"I need help. She refused to take a bath at first, then she refused to leave after I convinced her to, then she made a mess with bubble soap, then she sprayed water on Weiss, then she dropped all her bath bombs and now my dorm is filled with foam… I want to be a good mother but I don't know how!" She shouted, and Jaune hurried to take Ryuuko and pass her to Neo, while he gave Yang a hug, and the girl finally relaxed a little.

"Hey, hey, you're not alone on this, alright? I'll help however I can." He whispered to her, and she nodded as she buried her face on his shoulder.

"Thank you… And we still need to go grab some food for her…" Yang said, and Jaune nodded. "Can I dry myself on your bathroom? And Maybe borrow some clothes… The others are trying to get rid of all the foam…"

"Sure thing… I'll go with you to grab some food. Then we'll sit down with Ryuuko and talk to her." Yang nodded and ended the hug, and moved to Jaune's closet and took a hoodie of his before entering the bathroom. He sighed and turned to Ryuuko, only to see her and Nora pestering Ren while Neo filmed everything.


"Tell me you were the energetic one that couldn't stay quiet when you were little…" Yang asked as she walked with Jaune from the mess hall, carrying food for everyone. "Because then I'd be sure it is not karma about how I behaved…"

"I had a rebel phase…" Jaune admitted, making his fellow blonde to stare at him doubtfully. "Hey, I did! I mean, I did come to Beacon with fake transcripts, didn't I?"

"That was more stupid than rebellious, Jauney." She teased, her mood improving a little. "Don't tell Ruby, but you actually earned a little of my respect with that."

"I'm worried what caused you to fully respect me." Jaune said playfully, and Yang smiled.

"Nothing that bad Jaune did… It's silly but… it was this." She suddenly held his hand with her bionic one, and the knight stared at this and looked back in confusion. "You never overreacted about my arm, nor you ever hesitated to touch it. Even ruby was geeking over it, and the others were all afraid to make a faux pass. Don't even start me with Blake."

"I won't then. I think I was just so happy to see you again to care… and you tried to murder me…" He teased, making her bump on him playfully.

"Sister's rights. Your sisters would understand."

"So… I was thinking… how about you invite your father to spend spring break back my home? We can talk with him and mom about our little lady." He said, and Yang flinched for a moment, her mechanical hand squeezing his a little too strong. "Ah! Alright! Bad idea! Crushing fingers!"

"What?" She then noticed what she was doing and let go of his hand. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Stupid fake arm! And here we were talking about…"

She was silenced when he took her hand again, and wrapped his fingers on her artificial ones, and smiled, that dumb smile she remembered from the first year, and suddenly she relaxed all at once.

"I'm glad you're here…" She said and moved closer. "I never thought we'd be all together when… well, you know…"

"I know…" He said, but she cursed when she saw his sad face. They weren't all together, after all. But before she could apologize he smiled at her. "I'm glad you're here too. I was afraid I was going to be the only one here… well, and Neo. She kinda have to, part of the deal to not let her go to jail."

"She's still a brat, even if she's not trying to kill us anymore." Yang answered, and soon they found themselves in front of JNPR's room. "I'm kind of afraid to see what's inside…"

"Come on, how bad can it be?" Jaune said as he opened the door.

Inside, they saw Nora was wrapped in blankets, while Weiss was using a ruler to threaten Neo, and Ren and Blake trying to pull Ryuuko from the roof, while Ruby tried to calm everyone down and failing. Yang punched Jaune's shoulder and he groaned. They entered and set the food on the table, and all of sudden everyone calmed down as the food smell filled the room.

"Honestly, Jaune, we can't leave the children alone for one second." Yang said in her best 'classic TV mom' impersonation.

"Indeed, it seems so, Yang. The neighbors might think we raised barbarians!" He answered doing a similar impersonation.

"Ha, ha." Blake answered as she grabbed her fried fish set. "Everything was fine until Neo there decided to use an illusion to create a cockroach. We just discovered our little dragon is afraid of bugs."

"Freaky little things with way too many legs…" Ryuuko said as she dropped from the ceiling and started eating.

"Nora?" Yang asked.

"She wanted to stomp the cockroach." Ren affirmed, and that was enough for the blondes. Nora always used all her power to accomplish anything, and that usually meant breaking something beyond repairs.

"So… how about spending spring break at my place?" Jaune suddenly said, and they all stopped eating to stare at him.

"All of us?" Weiss asked. She wasn't too keen to return home, knowing Winter would be too busy and she would be all alone in a big house, only with unknown servants to keep her company.

"All of you. You know mom and my sisters would love to. And we have our little lady here to introduce to the family." Jaune said as he pointed to Ryuuko, who tried to say something with her mouth full. Before they could ask what, Blake's ears twitched.

"Goodwitch!" She warned.

"Damn it! Neo, make an illusion!" Jaune asked, but the mute girl shook her head and made some signs with her hand. "Out of Aura? How? You just created a cockroach!" She pointed at Weiss, and the heiress scoffed.

"I might have hit her a few times." The white-haired girl admitted.

"Alright, you guys try to hide anything suspicious, including Ryuuko, Jaune and I will try to distract Miss G!" Yang declared as she pushed Jaune outside and closed the door before he could even question. They heard Glynda's stilts (really, it worked better than a bell collar) and suddenly Yang put her back on the wall and pulled Jaune close, and he had to put his hands on the wall, by her head's side to not collide with her. "Follow my lead!"

"Your lead to do hmph!"

She grabbed his collar and pulled him into a kiss. At first, it was just lips touching, but soon they both relaxed and hugged, and the kiss started to get heated. Neither knew what overtook them, but it felt just right, and the feeling too good to just stop. They only stopped when they heard coughing, and separated a little breathless to see Goodwitch staring disapprovingly.

"Oh… er… hey?" Jaune spoke nervously, while Yang just avoided staring at the headmistress at all.

"Public displays of affection are allowed with moderation, Mr. Arc. While I'm sure glad you and Ms. Xiao Long started a relationship, one that I believe will benefit you both, I ask to avoid such… affectionate display in public." She affirmed, and both stared at each other and at her in surprise. Did she just insinuated she approved of their 'relationship'? "Now, I heard complains about noise, and I'm here to verify it."

"Noise? What noise?" Yang tried, but the headmistress just eyed her into submission.

"Mr. Arc, open your door, please." She ordered, and he gulped and slowly as possible he opened it. To his surprise, everything seemed in order, and Ryuuko was nowhere to be seem. The headmistress checked the closets, bathroom and under the bed and found nothing unusual. "It seems nothing suspicious is here… But please, try to be quieter. People thought someone was being murdered here."

The stare Neo and Weiss traded told the others something like that almost happened. After a moment, Glynda left, and after making sure she wasn't waiting to bust them, Jaune and Yang turned to the others.

"So… where's our daughter?" Yang asked, and Blake opened the window and the girl returned.

"It was cold there! And I hope no one ate my food!" She threatened, and then everyone left out a relieved breath.


"And one more day gone!" Ruby cheered after the long class with Oobleck the next day. "Two more days, then spring break and finally the Festival!"

"You tell me! I just want to relax a little. I'm glad we'll spend the spring week at Jaune-Jaune's house. It's great and they have a lake!" Nora added.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll call mom after lunch to tell her we all are coming. Have you girls told your father?" Jaune asked Yang and Ruby

"I'm just deciding if I should tell him about Ryuuko now or there. I can't just call him and say, 'guess who's a grandad?' after all." Yang replied.

"Well, better sooner than later. I'd rather know what mom would do if she learned about her granddaughter by another person." Neo almost fell down after that affirmation, but waved them off when they stared at her. They passed first by the mess hall to get food and returned to their dorm, and Jaune opened the door, only to close it soon after and turn back to the group. "Neo!"

"Jaune, what happened?" Ruby asked worriedly, while the multi-colored girl hid behind Yang.

"Nothing yet… But I think someone might have jumped the gun." He affirmed as he eyed Neo again, and she just used her illusion powers to disappear. "Little…"

"Jaune, you're making me nervous…what happened?" Yang asked, and the boy took a deep breath and opened the door.

Inside, a middle-aged woman with long blonde hair, wearing a blue dress sat at one of the beds, with Ryuuko on her lap, talking happily with each other. The woman stopped talking and cast her deep green eyes on the people at the door.

"Jaune… why you haven't told me before I had such lovely granddaughter?"


A.N.: Yep, mama Arc is here.

I rewrote this chapter twice because it was getting more on the emotional side than the fun side, so that's why it took so long. I don't want to spend too much time with Jaune and Yang 'will they, won't they' stuff, so things will hit a higher gear sooner than later.

And I still haven't added Taiyang to the mix. :3
