A/N: Wow, this chapter was just... hard. I rewrote it like 8 times before just scrapping it and settling on doing it this way. Sorry for cutting what was going to be a ton of interactions but it just felt odd to me doing it that way.

Anyways, questions! Next chapter will be Snowflake's first day of school! I need some names for the other kiddos such as;

Ren/Nora's twin boy and girl, Velvet/Cardin's son, Pyrrha/Juane's son, Mercury/Emerald's daughter, and... whoever else. Feel free to shoot some pairings as well if you want some others. Also some other ideas you want too!

Anyways enjoy the chapter and say hello to the new member of the family! :D

Oh yeah and shout out to Jefardi for the snowflake pep talks! Lol.

There in the doorway stood…

Someone Snowflake didn't know…

Glancing up with curious purple eyes, Snowflake cocked her head at the woman who regarded her with a curious look. As Snowflake tilted her head in the other direction, she watched as the woman did the same before she broke out into a smile.

"Hi! I'm Snowflake!" The young girl announced excitedly as she watched the other woman smile down at her.

Although greeting the other person, the woman had yet to say anything, instead just smiling down at the other girl and wiggling her fingers in a friendly wave. That was until Yang entered the view and spotted the girl.

"Oh! You must be here for the babysitting job, right?" The blonde asked casually as she opened the door up further to let the girl inside. "I'm Yang and this little bundle of energy down here is Snowflake." She introduced as she planted a hand on top of her daughter's head and earned a slight giggle from the girl.

Letting the girl inside, Yang and Snowflake lead their new guest into the living room where they sat down together. For Yang however she couldn't help but glance at what the girl was wearing. Dressed in an open white leather jacket, a pink shirt underneath, which was completed with dark brown jeans that were tucked into calf-high white boots, the girl was dressed extremely fashionably.

She looked quite young as well. She had long brown hair that reached to her shoulders with a slight streak of pink through her bangs. She had a short stature and innocent looking face too, but the thing that Yang was most curious about were her…

"You have two different colored eyes! That's so neat!" Snowflake shouted as she hopped onto the girl's lap.

"S- Snowflake! That's rude, get off of her!" Yang ordered the girl.

But instead of listening to her mama, Snowflake instead made herself comfortable on the girl's lap and turned to face Yang with a wide smile on her face. "But mama, mama look! One eye is brown and the other is pink!" She squealed out.

For Yang however, she sighed and looked towards the other woman. The girl didn't look particularity upset at Snowflake's antics. In fact she was smiling warmly towards the girl and even placed a hand at her daughter's back to keep her from falling as the girl continued to bounce up and down on her lap.

"Who was at the door Ya-…? Snowflake!"

Everyone in the room turned towards Weiss as the woman walked in and instantly spotted her daughter bouncing on their guest's lap with bewildered eyes. She then turned her eyes towards Yang as the blonde only sheepishly smiled at her wife.

Weiss however marched right towards Snowflake and scooped the girl up off the other woman and took a seat next to Yang on the other side of the room while making sure to keep a tight hold on her daughter.

"But mooooommy!" Snowflake whined as she attempted to break free from Weiss' iron grip. "Her eyes! I like them!"

"Hush Snowflake!" Weiss scolded before turning an apologetic smile towards her guest. "I'm so sorry for that. She just loves meeting new people… a little too much. I hope she didn't bother you, Miss…?"

All eyes turned towards the odd colored eyed girl in the room as she shook her head before reaching into her purse for a moment. They could hear a slight rustling of papers as the girl pulled forth what looked like a folder before placing it atop of the coffee table in front of her.

Both Yang and Weiss eyed the white folder the girl placed down before Weiss handed her daughter to Yang and picked it up, opening it. It only took a moment for the girl to feel her eyebrows rise as she quickly looked over the packet of paperwork inside before glancing over at the other girl who only smiled in return.

"Miss… Neo?" Weiss asked as she made sure she pronounced the girl's name correctly before once again looking over the girl's impressive resume.

"It says here that you've been a babysitter for over twenty-three different families and you have reference letters from them all…?" Weiss read aloud as she flipped through the pages, still looking them over.

"I can count to twenty-three!" Snowflake announced as she smiled a toothy grin towards Neo while sitting on Yang's lap.

"No you can't, squirt. You can only count to fifteen."

Snowflake turned an accusing glance upwards towards her mama at that. "Nuh uh! I can too! One, two three, four, six, seven, nine, ten… um… nine, eleven, fifteen..." She started before she furrowed her brow and mumbled quietly and then shouting, "Twenty-three! See? I told you I could! See? See?"

Yang only laughed before playing with her daughter's long hair. "You really need to work on your counting skills there, Snowy. Good thing you're starting school soon."

"Yay, School! I can't wait to make more and more friends!" Snowy cheered out as she fell back into Yang's chest and giggled as the blonde began tickling the smaller girl.

However for Weiss, she glanced up at Neo from the papers she was reading and saw that the girl wore a polite smile as she watched both Yang and Snowflake's banter. The girl looked professional enough and plus her resume pretty much had everything Weiss was looking for in a babysitter for her daughter. She was more than qualified as a matter of fact.

Clearing her throat and placing the papers down onto the coffee table in front of her, Weiss looked into Neo's brown and pinks eyes for a moment before smiling and looking towards Yang.

"Her resume checks out and Snowflake already seems to have taken a liking to her. What do you think?" She asked the blonde.

Yang shrugged her shoulders then but had on a smile. "She looks like a good fit to me!" Before she glanced down at the still giggling Snowflake. "What do you say, kiddo? You want Miss Neo as your new babysitter?"

"Babysitter!" Snowflake cheered out before she leaped off of Yang's lap and ran right towards Neo who still sat cross-legged on the couch with a curious smile on her face, watching Snowflake approach.

The two held each other's gazes much to Yang and Weiss' curiosity. It was almost as if both Neo and Snowflake were speaking to each other through their minds as Snowflake squinted her eyes at Neo with the other doing the same towards the smaller girl. Their faces were scrunched up as if concentrating on some unseen problem before suddenly…

"Miss Ice Cream!"

Both Yang and Weiss shared a look before laughing to themselves as they watched their daughter give her own approval with a small cheer.

"Well looks like you're in, Neo!" Yang chuckled out as she sat up in her chair. "Once Snowy there gives you a nickname, you're basically friends for life."

Weiss shook her head slightly but still wore a gentle smile as she got up to shake Neo's hand. "Welcome to the family, Miss Neo."

Neo politely ruffled Snowflake's hair as she stood up and took Weiss' hand into her own in a dainty handshake before politely bowing her head.

"Just one more question, Neo… When can you start?" The white haired woman asked as both girls dropped their handshake.

But as Weiss stood there waiting for the other multicolored girl to answer, she watched Neo form a series of hand gestures. It took a moment for the Weiss to piece together what in fact the girl was doing, until slowly but surely she was starting to understand.

'She hasn't spoken a word since she's arrived… Don't tell me she's…'

"Oh…" Weiss uttered with a somewhat baffled expression on her face as she watched Neo tilt her head in response as she finished her hand signs.

"She's…" Yang muttered next to Weiss as she too pieced together just what was going on.

Before Snowflake too saw the various hand signs that her new babysitter was doing and proceeded to jump into Neo's legs and throw her hands upwards before making her own versions of symbols.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Neo glanced down at the girl before silently giggling to herself and stooping down to Snowflake's height. She smiled brightly towards the smaller girl before she shook her hands and began playing rock, paper, and scissors with the white haired child, much to Snowflake's amusement as she giggled happily before shouting the words over and over again loudly.

Both Weiss and Yang shared another look before glancing back down at their daughter and her new babysitter seemingly at a loss of what to do.

"Well, at least it'll keep things interesting around here!"

Weiss glanced over at the blonde before exhaling but adopting a smile on her face and nodding. Her wife in fact was correct; she wasn't exactly opposed to a mute girl watching her daughter, especially since Snowflake already seemed to take a strong liking to this woman. In fact it made Weiss wonder if her daughter could in fact not like anyone.

Feeling an arm wrap around her waist, Weiss glanced to her left as Yang pulled her close to her. Weiss smiled at the touch before leaning her head on the blonde's shoulder and smiling at the sight of Snowflake being a sore loser and trying to cheat at the game against Neo as the other girl only smirked in victory.

Looks like things in the Xiao-Long – Schnee household were going to stay interesting to say the least…
