I guess I won't be reaching chapter 50 after all. I decided to put in different, major points of their lives through the years. I promise it won't be disappointing. NSFW warning for this chapter.
-Two Years Later-
It was pouring hard outside. Roman had kept himself in the deep underground of Vale, avoiding as many people as possible. He had a few close calls almost running into Summer. He done it on purpose just to see her.
Her hair was long and gorgeous like a waterfall of black and red. She had more scars and one on her face on her right cheek. She was more beautiful now than before. He knew if he showed up at her door she would take him back in a heartbeat but... He would ruin all her future.
He had started up his criminal activities again. The goons beneath him were told not to touch team STRQ, Glynda or Neo. Roman had made sure the death penalty would be the result for disobeying him. He wasn't going to play games.
He stopped in the middle of the street. Roman felt like someone was following him but everytime he checked, no one was there. He sighed and turned back around but there stood someone in his way. He recovered from his shock quickly realizing that it was Neo.
"What the hell are you doing?! You can't be seeing me!"
Neo frowned.
[I knew where you were for a while. Calm down. I finished my schooling but I want to join you.]
"I won't let you waste your life away doing dumb shit for me."
[You let me or I tell Summer where you are. I know you have been avoiding her. She has been looking for you. She does it the same time every year.]Dammit.
"Fine."
He started walking away but Neo grabbed his hand.
"What?"
[I will warn you. She is heartbroken. She basically told everyone they were weaklings and she gave everyone the finger at her graduation speech. She isn't the same since you left. I think you're making a big mistake.]
"Why do you care?"
[Because being away from her hurts you too.]
"Are you gonna come with me or not?"
Neo nodded. Roman let out a heavy sigh and they disappeared into the night.
-Three Years Later-
"Push Raven!"
Raven let out a scream and pushed again. She was so tired. Labor wasn't as easy as the videos she watched made it seem it was. Taiyang wiped off her forehead with one hand as he held up her left foot. Summer had her right foot talking to her to keep her going.
Finally, a small blonde baby came out with her last big push. The baby started crying, covered in blood. Raven laid back exhausted but smiling.
"Oh my god! Raven she's so pretty!" Summer cried, her eyes watering.
The nurses cleaned up the small baby and put a diaper on her. They wrapped her up in a pastel pink blanket then handed her to Raven.
"What's her name?" the nurse asked with a smile.
"Yang. Yang Xiao Long."
Taiyang smiled, "Awww."
Raven's pale face turned pink.
"Shut up."
It was a few hours later and Raven was bottle feeding Yang. She burped the small blonde baby a couple times and Yang was ready to pass out again. Taiyang and Qrow had went out and got something to eat. Summer sat in the chair by the window staring out.
"Um... I'm sorry."
Summer turned her head giving Raven a puzzled look.
"I know we said we would have kids together and everything."
She laughed but Raven could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Are you OK?"
"No."
"You're still waiting huh?"
Summer nodded.
"Have you heard anything?"
"He's been in Vale for the last several years."
"Summer... It's been six years."
"I know. I'm waiting for the chance to go on a long term mission because I can't stand it anymore."
"Why don't you just marry Qrow? He's been single two years now."
Summer glared at her best friend.
"He hurt me. I have no intention of marrying just because I'm lonely and missing someone."
Raven got up and placed baby Yang in her hospital crib.

Raven finally got to be home for a few days with Taiyang and Yang. She got up after feeding Yang and decided to head outside for some fresh air. Then door clicked shut and the grass around her rustled. She took her traditional fighting stance ready for whatever was there.
"So it is true. You do live here."
Raven's body froze.
"I saw your baby. She's pretty cute. Looks more like her daddy though."
"Why the fuck are you here? Are you asking for a death wish, you piece of shit?" she hissed.
"I'm here for you."
"What the fuck do you mean?"
"If you don't come with me, we'll kill the three of you. I won't bother with your brother. He's too weak for me."
The heat left her body. She never expected him to threaten her already. She honestly forgot he existed. Part of her should've known he was going to crawl out of hell and come for her.
"What makes you think I won't try and kill you now?"
"Can you? Before my men rush inside to kill your husband and baby?"
Raven bit her lip and growled.
"Why couldn't you wait a few years?" she asked.
"Does the famous Raven Branwen have a soft spot?"
"She's my blood. Of course I care."
"What do you have to say?"
"Fine. Give me a couple minutes. I want to say goodbye."
Raven walked back into the house. She grabbed her sword and created a portal. She walked through and entered Summer's bedroom. Summer was in her underwear and bra getting ready for bed.
"Raven?"
"I'm sorry."
Raven crawled onto her bed and hugged her tight.
"I don't under-
Raven put her finger on Summer's lips.
"No matter where I go or how long it will take... No matter the situation..
I have your back. I love you Summer."
Raven disappeared quickly leaving Summer dumbfounded and confused.
Raven changed quickly and quietly. She kissed her husband softly then her baby. Her eyes started to water. She couldn't bear losing another baby.
She locked the door and disappeared with Marco and his men.
Don't worry Marco. I'll kill you when I have the chance. Go ahead and wear that smirk as long as you want. I can't wait to wipe it off.

"Dear god Summer I sorry!" Taiyang yelled as he dropped down to his knees.
Summer's face was pink.
"Honestly... It's OK... It's OK Taiyang."
He had his arms around her waist.
"Oh my god! I betrayed so many people!"
"She left a few years ago. I'm sure Raven would understand. We were drunk and vulnerable. I'm not angry."
Taiyang stared at her with his blue eyes begging for forgiveness.
"What are you so worried about? Who are you worried about?"
"Qrow."
Summer sighed and pulled away from Taiyang.
"Things will be fine."
-Nine Months Later-
"ARGH!"
Qrow was willing to assist this time. He held her left foot and Taiyang held Summer's right. Her hair was plastered to her face and she looked beyond pissed. She kept giving Taiyang death stares in between her contractions.
Summer had been pushing an hour already but she kept going anyways. The doctor was surprised she had that much energy left after pushing constantly.
"I see the head! She has black hair!" The doctor yelled.
"Come in Summer! One more push!" Qrow said and she nodded weakly.
"AHH!"
The baby came out and it was a girl. She had a full head of hair and her eyes were silver. She was pretty quiet and she looked around curiously. The nurses washed her off and that's when she started crying.
A few hours had passed and Summer was alone in her hospital room. Ruby was asleep peacefully. Summer wasn't ok. She just felt heartbroken. She wanted Raven to be there for her and she wanted Roman to come back.
She looked over at her baby. She was a literal mini me. It was supposed to be a hapoy day but Summer couldnt shake away the sadness.
Knock, knock
Taiyang came walking in with Yang. She already had long, bright blonde hair at the age of two almost three. Yang skipped over to the small crib, peering inside at the small baby girl.
"Who is she?" Yang asked.
"That's your baby sister," Qrow said with a forced smile.
Yang looked back at Summer with a concerned look on her face, "Mom, why doesn't she look like me?"
Summer giggled, "Because Ruby looks like me. You look like your Dad."
"Ruby?"
"Yup," Taiyang said picking his oldest daughter up, "She's going to be your best friend."
Summer smiled and looked out the window.
-Three More Years Later-
"Summer..."
She looked up at Taiyang. She was sorting through her mission papers. She had been up half of the night drinking coffee and eating brownies. She took another sip of her coffee and sighed.
"I told you I was going on this mission. It's a tail on Salem."
"I won't allow you because you won't come back."
"I'm not your wife."
Taiyang slammed his fist on the table rattling her cup of coffee.
"You're one of my best friends, my teammate and the mother of my children! I can't just let you run away!"
"I need to do something and I will do it."
He grabbed her wrist. She looked up to see the tears rolling down his cheeks.
"I know we weren't in love when we had Ruby but I can't watch someone else abandon me. I can't... I can't watch you walk out that doorway knowing there's a good chance I won't see you again."
"Raven didn't abandon anyone. She'll be here if we need her."
"She left! She didn't care!"
Summer stood up knocking the chair onto the floor.
"She wouldn't leave unless she had a good reason too! Raven is sorry she had to go but she did it. I don't know why but one day she'll be back!" Summer yelled.
"Why is this so important to you?!" he yelled back.
"I want to finish off Salem! For Lily! For Yang and Ruby!" she hissed.
Without warning the table turned to ice. Taiyang staggered backwards in shock. Summer stayed quiet and sat back down. She started dumping her hot coffee on the table trying to get her mission papers back.
"Did Claire...?"
"A few months ago. It was too sudden apparently. "
He nodded in response and sat down.
"I have a week left. I'm going into Vale for a few days and I'll be back."
"You found him didn't you?" Taiyang whispered.
"I found a good location and he's pretty sneaky. You're right... I don't know when I'll be back but I have to see him. Even if it's one last time for the rest of my life."
Taiyang sat down and laughed, "He's going to kill me."
"Why?" she asked, floored by his statement.
"I don't think he ever had another girlfriend since you Summer. Think about it, I fathered Ruby, not him."
"I love Ruby just the way she is. I wouldn't ask for anything else."
Taiyang's expression softened, "Thank you Summer."
"I hold no regret for that. I wish I stayed and convinced him more than I did but all I did was think about myself. This may be my last chance. If it is... Then I can be at peace finally. I was hoping along the way I would see Raven too."
"Is it that important to you?"
Summer nodded.
"All I ever wanted was for you to be happy. Raven was right after all. The three of us keep stopping you from what you want. You aren't our child. I guess the three of us are guilty of thinking that you know nothing. You aren't the same girl that just came to her first day of Beacon."
Summer grinned, "Qrow said I acted like his sister. Do you think so?"
"Well... Kind of. You're a lot less bitter than Raven but it has finally caught up to you in the end."
"I know."
She managed to fish out her papers one by one.
"When you come back, be the Summer I know."
She nodded, "I'll do my best. Tell the girls I'll be back soon. Can you hang my papers up to dry?"
"Anything for you."
Summer gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed on her way.

Summer made sure to wear black and she turned her cape inside out even if the white was still showing. It wasn't hard finding out too much information on Roman but most of it was fake and misleading. The most strangest thing was she saw was a short woman but everytime she saw her, she looked different.
Neo?
It was true... She hadn't seen Neo in forever and Summer hadn't made much effort to see her but that body stature was definitely Neo's. After an hour of watching the same building she noticed the increase of shady looking men going in and out. She waited until one solo guy was left standing.
She jumped down and punched the guy in the face just hard enough to disorient him. He staggered backwards into the wall. He gasped when he saw Summer's stunningly beautiful face. She grabbed his collar and glared at him.
"Do you work for Roman?"
"R-Roman who?"
"If you insist on being stupid I'll knock your head off. I will be leaving on a mission that might result in my death so I need to see Roman. Please."
"O-Ok. Come this way."
Summer followed the guy around the building and he knocked a part of the wall. It opened up slowly and he walked in first. They headed further underground than Summer had originally thought. She already knew Roman was a cunning man when she met him... Well... Sort of.
The man opened a door.
"Boss. You have a visitor."
"What did I tell you guys? No one is allowed down here! Take them away!"
Summer cleared her thought and Roman looked up from his floorplan. His jaw dropped open upon seeing Summer. It had been a while since he went to check on her and she was damn hot. Her long hair had just the right amount of curls at the tips of her hair. She looked almost like the Grimm Reaper in the clothes she had on.
Summer looked to her left as Neo walked through the other door. The small woman jumped going from a pink eyed brunette to her normal ice cream colors. She opened her mouth in shock looking between the ex lovers. Summer returned her gaze back to her ex boyfriend.
"Roman."
"I-I-I
"That's all you can say after almost eight years?"
He became so tongue tied in from of her no sound was coming out.
"I guess so."
"Well... How did you find me?" he whispered.
"It was hard not to notice the petite woman in different disguises going in and out of here. I'm not here to arrest you or anything of that nature."
"Then why are you here...? You can't... You know... "
"Of course I still love you."
Neo looked back at Roman who's face started to turn pink.
"I-I-I
"Has your vocabulary gone downhill since I've seen you? Are you OK?"
"Everyone leave!" he yelled and his men scattered like rats out of that large room, "You too Neo."
She gave him a weird look then back at Summer but left anyways. They both stared at each other for awhile before he spoke.
"I heard you became a mother?"
Summer nodded.
"You finally married Qrow."
"No."
"Oh."
Silence.
"I got drunk and vulnerable. Fruity drinks are my weakness apparently."
Roman snorted.
"Who is he then?"
"Taiyang. He did apologize repeatedly."
Summer pulled out her scroll and showed him a picture of baby Ruby now a small toddler.
"Wow... She looks exactly like you! It looks like you reproduced by yourself."
Summer giggled.
"Who's the blonde girl?"
"Yang. She's Raven and Taiyang's daughter."
Summer sat down and Roman sat by her. He saw the sorrow wash over her. He took his gloves hand brush her long silky strands from her face.
"What happened?" he whispered.
"I'm not sure. I think Marco had something to do with it though. She left barely two weeks of Yang's life."
"I think I agree with you on that one. She seemed like the motherly type. I'm sorry Summer."
"I go on mission in a week to explore territory controlled by Salem."
His face turned white.
"W-what?"
"Yea."
"You can't go alone!"
Summer leaned back in the chair she was sitting in.
"I took it on purpose."
"You have too many problems controlling your power!"
Summer held out her hand and ice crystals started to grow on her palm. His emerald eyes widened and he looked up at her.
"Summer... I am sorry."
"I've been ready. I know Qrow and Taiyang aren't strong enough to help me but... Raven always was. I think if we did it together we would be able too."
Roman became quiet.
"I missed you."
"Summer-
"I'm here because I may not make it back. Everyone knows this... I wanted to spend some time with you before I left. I don't know if you still love me-
Roman kissed her. He almost knocked her out of the chair too but he held one arm around her waist. After a minute he pulled away leaving then both breathless.
"I never stopped for one minute. I... Want you for myself. I want to be selfish and take you for myself. I don't care who you had a baby with. Taiyang is a good guy and better him than some degenerate."
Summer smiled and tears rolled down her cheeks. Roman wiped them away and pressed his lips against hers again. She moaned softly against his lips making him hard. She was the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Can I have you?" he whispered hoarsely.
"Hell yes you can."
He unclipped her cape and it fell to the floor. He pulled off his gloves throwing them to the side. Summer unbuttoned his white silk shirt and he let it fall off his shoulders onto the ground as well. Next was her dress, undies and bra. She unbuttoned his pants and pulled them to his knees then his boxers.
It was as if no time had passed between them. Roman roughly licked and sucked every sensitive spot Summer had on her body. She cried out as he buried his face between her legs, lifting them into the air. Summer knocked papers onto the ground not caring what she messed up.
After some time there he came back up for air and his eyes settled on the circular scar on her abdomen. He had a flashback to that day briefly. He looked at her with hunger in his eyes and she returned the look without question. He tangled his fingers up into her long locks and pulled as he thrust hard into her.
Summer cried out his name loudly enough his henchmen probably heard but neither of them cared. It didn't take much for Summer to cum since she was so pent up for years now. He continued to slam him hard member inside her until she managed to climax again. He growled as he came inside her, digging his fingers into her hips.
Roman's legs were weak from his orgasm and he leaned over Summer, playing his sweaty head in her stomach. They stayed there for a short while before he pulled away. His table was covered in fluids and so was some of his papers but he didn't care. She looked at him with a seductive look on her face and he wanted to ravish her again and again until she couldn't move.
"Let me... Um... Get you a towel. We do have showers here. Be right back."
Summer wrapped her robe around her body until he returned with a big towel.
"I'll start cleaning this up. Head through that door and down the hall. There's a few solo bathrooms there."
Summer did as she was told and headed for the shower as Roman cleaned their love making mess up. After ten minutes he went to join her.
Summer was sitting on the floor of the shower when he walked in. She looked up at him with a big happy smile.
"I missed you," she said.
Summer stood up revealing her wet, soapy naked body and he felt himself getting hard again.
"I'm all yours for the next two days Roman. However you want. I don't want to waste a single moment."
He grabbed her bottom and lifted her up. He pushed her hot body against the cold, shower tiled wall. His breathing became heavy.
"I don't deserve you Summer Rose."
"Yes you do. Roman... I still want to marry you. I want to have kids with you and live in our house. I want all those things, please."
"Summer, I'm a bad guy."
"I don't care. I can't stop thinking about you. I need you in my life because I can't live without you. Please... When I come back, you better be waiting no matter how long it takes. I want to ensure our future is safe for our kids. For Ruby and Yang."
Roman put his face between her naked breasts and wept softly. She held him tight.
"I wish I could help you baby... I'm not strong enough."
"I know. You weren't built to fight like me. That's fine because you're perfect the way you are."
"Dear god Summer..."
"I love you Roman Torchwick. That won't ever change."
"I love you Summer. Fuck, I love you so much..."
-Six months into Summer's Mission-
Summer had been running for the last twenty minutes without stopping. Geists and Seers showed up everywhere at once. She had made several barricades through the woods using ice and plants but they still managed to get around. She bit her lip in frustration.
She thought she had been more careful than that. Salem must've spotted her and sent out her creatures of Grimm. Summer was almost there too. She saw all the black and purple crystals... The black lakes that created Grimm, it was a horrid place.
She found some cover behind a tree as quickly as she could. She placed fire crystals of pure Dust inside her sword and waited. It wasn't long before she heard a familiar, creepy voice. She didn't think Salem would adventure out of her territory too often.
"What brings you here? Or are you ghost?"
Summer could feel her hands get clammy. She closed her eyes.
"She brought you back to life."
I can feel her getting closer to me.Im going to end up dying here. By the same person.
"Do you think that cheap trick is going to work again?" she asked angrily.
What cheap trick? I'm hiding.
Summer opened one eye and saw Raven's portal in front of her face. She looked around seeing several more. Salem stood there with an angry look on her face. Summer felt something blow past her.
She whipped around seeing Raven attack Salem. Her black hair was more wild and longer this time. Raven was tanner and much older looking. Salem tried grabbing the blade but Raven was faster.
She sliced open her hands open, blood dripped onto the ground. The evil woman screamed angrily. Raven attacked her again cutting her face. Salem screamed and grabbed her face hissing in pain.
"Raven-
Raven grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet quickly. They ran fast, Summer almost couldn't keep up. Raven skidded to a halt and swung her sword upward. Another portal appeared and she flung Summer in and jumped in after.
Summer landed on the other side. She looked up to see that everything distorted. She touched a weird plant and it was very real. What she saw was real and it made no sense. She looked at her friend who was sheathing her sword.
"Where are we?" Summer asked, her eyes still wide with amazement.
"I don't know the technical term, but I call it Distortion Dimension. I found it by accident."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You're staying here until we can fight Salem. I won't have you dying on me."
"I have a mission to complete. I can't just sit here without giving information."
Raven knelt down, "Then I'll look for you. I'm sure Roman would help."
"Can you tell him I'm here? What about Taiyang? Ruby and Yang?"
Raven's face softened.
"It would be best if Taiyang and the kids thought you were dead. We need Salem to think you're dead. I don't mind telling Roman."
"Thank you."
"Soooo... After all this you're going to marry Roman after all huh?"
"How did you know?"
"I can see the future a lot better than I used too. Just know that I know," she said with a devious grin.

"I didn't know criminals slept at their desk," Raven said as she flicked Roman in the head.
He jumped and almost fell out of his chair. His eyes widened in shock seeing Raven. His first reaction was too scream and he started to yell thinking that she was going to kill him. Raven covered his mouth quickly.
"Shut up stupid! I have a message for you. I'd like to talk to you anyways."
She removed her hand and sat down.
"Summer is ok and she's alive."
Relief washed over his face.
"BUT she is dead to everyone else. Do not compromise her safety."
"Where is she?"
Raven sat back with a conflicting look on her face. She knew he would keep it secret regardless.
"I put her in a different dimension. Distortion Dimension actually. I discovered a year ago actually. Time passes a lot slower there though. I should spend some time there though. All this stress is making me old."
"You look more tan than anything."
"Thanks."
"Did Summer have anything to say to me?"
"She loves you. She'll be waiting for you."
"Well I-
Raven raised her hand.
"She said she doesn't expect you to stop playing your little criminal rule since it seems your toy castle is important."
Roman's face turned bright red.
"As her husband, you'll be helping me collect data. Anything you hear on Salem or anyone affiliated with her will be reported to me. I will report all her into as if I am her. I have already informed them that Summer Rose has died and that information should be sent to her family. All for safety reasons."
"We never got married."
"You did to me. I have a favor."
"What?"
"At some point you are going to encounter my daughter and your stepdaughter. Yang and Ruby. I know you will have to play along for your new employer but I swear to god, if you harm my children severely I will murder you. Same goes for the short one."
"Who? Neo? She doesn't hurt people."
"Not right now. She will eventually."
Roman got quiet. Raven signed and leaned over hugging him. He froze almost afraid to move.
"I know why you left and I don't blame you. Thank you so much," she whispered and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
And she was gone.
-Present Day-
Roman bent over the glass counter as his hired henchmen started stealing Dust and Dust crystals. His head hurt and he honestly shouldn't have taken that woman's offer. He probably had a headache from the lack of sex since it was about thirteen years since he had some. This crap was becoming too stressful.
Suddenly the glass shattered and he saw another man fly through the window then a red and black blur. He stepped through the broken window and saw a short girl with a giant scythe. His jaw dropped when he saw her. What are the chances she shows up here? Just like her mother.
"If you want to rob this place then you have to go through me!" The girl yelled.
She looked so much like her mom it was like she was a clone. Her hair wasn't as long though and her voice was a tad bit higher. Roman raised an eyebrow as she clicked her headphones off. Her name is Ruby. She sure like red.
"Well, go get her," Roman said knowing well enough that she would crush them all. It took her two minutes no problem.
She was fast.
"Well Red, I enjoyed this... But I must go. Things to do... Places to go."
Roman threw a red Dust crystal onto the ground and shot at it. It exploded and allowed him to escape without any problems. He didn't want to fight his step daughter at the moment. He knew she would eventually wipe the floor with him.
He smiled as they drove off.
Well... I want to say thank you to everyone who stayed around reading. I appreciate that a lot of you were nice about my absence even though I announced it months late.
Also... I'm glad you all decided to read this even though Roman and Summer would end up breaking up in order for Summer to have Ruby. See you guys in the next story!
