A/N: I've been really really busy as of late. If you've been keeping track of my profile updates or hanging out in Discord, you'd know. I just have the time to update as much (especially my other stories) and for that I apologize. I'm very swamped with work.

Sorry, but enjoy this little chapter. I think I may make this a two or three part-er. We'll see. Thank you for the support though guys. Reviews and all that help me out.

"Stop looking so helpless, Rubes, it'll be fine."

"B- But what if-"

"No buts or what ifs. I'm positive both your sister and her wife will love the news."

"But-!"

"I said no buts, little jewel! Now ring the doorbell already, this pot roast isn't getting any lighter!"

With a shaky sigh, Ruby rang the doorbell to her older sister's apartment that she shared with her small family.

'Family…' Ruby thought to herself as she waited. 'I want a family too… but…'

Glancing over at the other woman who had come with her to her sister's home, Ruby eyed Cinder. The taller woman wore her hair in a low ponytail while she held the pot roast the two of them had cooked earlier. Dressed in a black sweater and dark blue jeans, Ruby could see just how happy the other woman was, though she tried to mask it with her usual look of boredom. No, she knew the truth… and Ruby knew why Cinder was in fact happy.

After all, she was too. They were about to embark on a whole new chapter of their lives. But they wanted to tell Yang and Weiss the news first. And they both decided that during Thanksgiving dinner would be the best place to do it, which was where they were now.

"Coming!" A voice shouted from behind the closed door. Though a few seconds later, both women could hear the sound of stomping little feet before the lock clicked and the door opened.

"Miss Fire Magic, Aunty Rubbles!" Snowflake cheered as she threw the door wide open.

Ruby quickly felt her earlier nerves vanish as she quickly knelt down and scooped her niece up into her arms. The moment she did however she was assaulted with tons of wet kisses by the small white haired girl.

"Hi Snow! Did your mama let you open the door or did you do it without asking?"

Ruby watched the lilac eyes belonging to Snow glisten with mischief at the question before she smiled a toothy grin. Ruby already got her answer, Snowflake was a little rebel when it came to rules it seemed. Reminding her just like a certain someone who just bound into view.

"Hey lil sis!" Yang greeted with a wave as she smiled before turning her glance towards Cinder who walked in behind Ruby and Snow, shutting the door behind her. "And heya Cinder!"

Cinder politely smiled back towards the blonde sister just as Snowflake reached out for Cinder to hold and hug her.

Swapping the plate she was holding to Ruby and taking Snowflake, Cinder held the young girl as Snowflake already started playing with Cinder's ponytail, causing both girls to giggle.

"Weiss, Ruby and her girlfriend are here!" Yang shouted down the hall before everyone followed her into the kitchen. The moment they had walked in however, Ruby had smelled the wonderful aroma of food and her mouth was watering.

Though as Yang led the others towards the dining room, which both Weiss and she had set up all day, said white haired woman walked out to greet their guests.

Though once Weiss made her way to the dining room where the others were, her light blue eyes instantly locked onto Cinder. Quickly remembering her meeting with the other woman at the grocery store a few weeks ago as well as the inappropriate things she had in her cart, Weiss' face instantly turned into a scowl. She never did particularly agree with most of Ruby's habits… and the crimson haired girl's choice in women was just another thing Weiss didn't like.

"Hello everyone," Weiss greeted casually as she quickly went to hug Ruby. "And… I'm glad to see you could make it as well, Cinder." She finished, giving a quick flash of a fake smile towards the taller woman who still held Snowflake.

Cinder for her part didn't seem to pick up on Weiss' pointed words as she smiled back at the other woman.

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, Weiss." Cinder replied sweetly. "Plus, I can't wait to taste your cooking. I never did get to thank you for the tips you gave me that day."

A shudder ran down Weiss' back but she managed to hold the shaky smile on her face. Instead of engaging Cinder on what would likely be another depraved conversation, she instead turned to Ruby with a genuine smile.

"Hello Ruby, and yes, before you ask, I made you your custom chocolate chip pumpkin pie."

Weiss couldn't help but truly smile at Ruby's eyes. The silver orbs grew twice in size at her words with already the crimson haired girl making a beeline for the fridge with even Snowflake hopping down from Cinder's arms and close behind.

"For dessert." Weiss reiterated, much to Ruby's disappointment as she let out a sad groan.

But as the afternoon gave way to the evening, everyone was called to the table to get ready to eat, with both Snowflake and Ruby racing to get to the table first, almost as if the food was already almost gone. But to Weiss' surprise, everyone found their seats with no problem.

Ruby wasn't attacking the pumpkin pie and other sweets first, Yang wasn't throwing food at her sister, and Snowflake wasn't making her usual mess while speaking with her mouth full… It seemed as if everyone had grown up from the last Thanksgiving from last year. And for that Weiss was thankful.

As the evening went on, with everyone eating however, Weiss could see that both Cinder and Ruby had gotten unusually quiet with both of them casting knowing glances at each other.

'Are they fighting?' Weiss thought to herself as she took another bite of her meal.

Though if they were fighting that meant… That would mean that they just needed a little push to grow further apart! Of course, it was perfect! She'd be able to get Ruby away from that woman easily if they were already not getting along with each other.

It wasn't as if Weiss enjoyed scheming against her former partner but… she just couldn't understand what Ruby saw in Cinder. She couldn't even believe that Yang didn't mind her younger sister with that woman as well!

Casting a scowl towards Yang, Weiss made sure to channel anger into her eyes so that Yang wouldn't have any other choice but to notice it.

The blonde of course was happily munching on her own food, not even acknowledging her fierce glare.

'Whatever. I can do this on my own!' Weiss mused in her mind.

Turning her attention back towards the couple seated opposite to her, Weiss got ready to put her plan into action. She figured that she'd start with something simple. Something to just slightly gauge just how angry those two were with each other.

But just as Weiss coughed into her hand and dabbed her mouth with a napkin, Ruby spoke first…

And the words she spoke froze Weiss to her very bones.

"Cinder and I have decided to have a child!"
