Hello, everyone, I'm back with my laptop and a new chapter for you of little Arc. I had this ready for a bit since I don't have much stuff to do anymore and my most of my time is open and boring. I have seen some things and received PMs about it and all I can say is that the joke is Jaune is constantly slipping away and causing trouble without even realizing it. I don't plan anything and everything just comes from the top of my head. I will eventually get around to when Jaune finally gets settled down and kept in one place, but that's when I get to it which, is in a bit.
So enjoy the new chapter while I work on the next and other stories.
(Raven POV)
Why did I ever make a child with that fool? Honestly, he can't even seem to remember having one then this other blond child that wandered her into the yard. Then he brings them both inside so he could call my drunk brother and ask, 'Did I have two kids?' honestly why I slept with him is the biggest mystery. Then coming back only to retrieve some things I left to see as the two infants were about to be crushed by the shabby shelf that idiot built without the instructions. I remember telling that fool to use the instructions, but no. He said 'I know how to build a bookshelf.' and then after six attempts, he got it together. The problem about it was that the legs on the damn thing were uneven in the front, so when too much weight was put on them it would begin to tip forward and fall.
I had put folded paper under them keeping the thing standing, but Yang had crawled over and pulled one of the papers out making it slowly begin to tip forward until it was about to crush her as I came in. Luckily I snatched them at the last second leaving them far from the shelf and on a rug putting them both to sleep with some power I had. But now I'm stuck here being a babysitter for my own daughter and some kid that Tai found. I didn't have time for things like this there were more important things I need to be doing, and avoiding my alcoholic brother.
I couldn't be spending my time wasting it keeping two infants alive while Tai was slowly getting his bearings The worst part of it all is that I'm stuck in this form! I couldn't do much as a damn bird and I don't need Tai seeing me here as he stood looking at the shelf like a dumb ass scratching his head confused about what happened. Hurry up and focus enough so that can leave you with these infants you moron!
(Tai POV)
Huh...well...I got no clue on what just happen. I rush in worried my kids are paste and they're fine sleeping away from the fallen shelf. Maybe Raven was right about me getting rid of that shelf, at least my head is cleared up a bit now and I'm not dizzy anymore. But you know what now that my head's clear, plus my headache from the fumes is gone, I can actually think clearly I know that the bond baby boy isn't mine. But I can't just go and take him back to whoever he belongs to because of two reasons. One I didn't know who the parents or guardian is and two I don't have a clue on where to start. I mean I will probably see something or hear something pretty soon about parents searching for their missing child so it could be worse. The baby could have been left with a Grimm all alone. I'm sure he would be safer here with me and Yang, then when I hear something I can take him back.
I'm sure you will know instantly when you lose a baby.
(Normal Pov)
Tia walked towards the shelf picking it up and setting it against the wall on the side while cleaning up the mess that was left after it fell. He scooped up the toys, books, and pictures that all fell down. As he was cleaning he saw dirt all over the floor after the plant he had sitting there fell down too. He dragged his hand down his face in irritation now having to get up and go get the vacuum cleaner. He checked making sure that they were still where they were until he remembered they were sleeping meaning he would need a broom instead so not to wake them. He knew Yang gets fussy when woken up from a nap but he guessed it was the same for the other baby. Not gonna take any chances so he went to get the broom and dustpan instead.
"I already feel tired." He mumbled.
(Port, Ozpin, and Glynda)
"Glynda I am telling you I and Port had nothing to do with the knifes," Ozpin explained as he sat against the wall as there was a multitude of knives and blades all pointed at him as an angry Goodwitch glared at him. Port, on the other hand, had disappeared the second he could feel the pain stop in his tailbone. Ozpin cursed him mentally for being a traitorous coward!
Then he was surrounded by sharp metal blades making a perfect shape around him as Glynda stomped off to go and find Jaune before something bad happens, such as the time she heard from June who explained that she found Jaune - after his father lost him - surrounded by three small bear cubs while the mother was lying down watching them. From what she heard from June the cubs just licked him and laid around him napping while he did the same. She just knew about the constant warnings that he began getting off to random places especially being taken away due to some strange reason. Like the cubs and the bear. She really doesn't believe such a thing can happen but with the way things are like teens who wield giant guns and blades, it's probably not too far-fetched.
"Come along Ozpin we must clean up your mess." She said suddenly pulling Ozpin from the wall and dragging him along the ground walking towards the front door. As she opened the front door and dragged him down the steps with her semblance she then suddenly pulled Port out from his hole in the garden.
"Ah, there you are my friends!" He said ignoring the glare from Ozpin while trying not to get a beating from Glynda. He stayed with his usual smile while he was dragged along the grass like a rag doll. The same for Ozpin.
"Just shut up, we're going to find Jaune."
(Tiayang)
Tia sat on his couch while he held Yang patting her back trying to burp her. He had fed her a few minutes ago while the other blond was still asleep now next to him on the couch laying on a pillow. He had been sleeping for hours now and wasn't really sure if he should wake him up. He had looked at the clock and saw it had been about four hours since he found the boy suddenly next to Yang. He was kinda worried now since he hasn't heard anything about a missing child or parents searching for one. He knew you couldn't make a report for 24 hours so that may be it. But he wasn't very sure about. And he was sure things like this was just for the authorities, not hunters.
But things like that rarely happen here in Patch. There was the occasional Beowulf that would wander around but they stayed pretty far from any villages and town so they weren't a very big problem. And he could just kill it when it wandered too close to his home. Suddenly he heard a small burp in his ear as Yang stayed still occasionally looking around like any infant. He continued to burp her for a few minutes until she finally stopped.
"Huh, you must have been gassy." She just looked around until she saw the orange cat piano reaching out for it. Tia shivered a bit feeling weirded out by that thing. Still, he questions why he bought that thing for her.
"Alright go on and play." He placed her down gently before she began crawling towards the orange cat piano. Once she was close enough she began hitting keys making it meow in different tones. Creepy toy.
He looked over at the other blond baby and decided to wake him up so that he could feed him. He fed him earlier with Yang to make sure so he should do the same now. Good thing he made two bottles. Good thing he used to take care of kids and infants when he was younger. Still difficult being a single father tho with a baby.
He picked the blond boy up waking him up as his eyes opened up as he yawned rubbing his tired eyes while Tia cradled him in his arm and shook the bottle a bit.
"Here ya go little guy." He placed the bottle against his lips. The boy instantly began drinking while his hands grabbed the bottle taking it from Tia's hand. He chuckled at the little guy surprised since he must have been very hungry from his long nap.
"Whoa, slow down little guy. You're gonna,"
*HIC*
"Get the hiccups," Tia said as the boy held the bottle in his hands as it rested on his belly. He looked up as he waited for the next one coming as he could feel it.
*HIC*
*HIC*
"Okay, little guy lets burp ya." He took the half-empty bottle from him surprised at how fast he drank. He must have been very hungry after only eating for 5 minutes. He placed it down next to him while he put him on his chest before gently patting his back. While he was doing that he watched Yang while she was still pressing random keys before finding the auto play button playing the cat version of Mozart. As it began playing Yang just sat there and watched the toy listening to it play before she went grabbing another toy - a small bee- rolling over teething on it. He smiled watching his daughter as her little legs kicked in the air while that piano meowed. He then looked back at the TV watching whatever was on not really paying attention until he heard a burp, but then he could feel something wet on his shoulder and quickly running down his back. He instantly stood up so that the vomit didn't get on the couch.
"Ah!" He yelled a bit as the baby vomit was going down his back as he held the boy around and took him towards the sink in the kitchen and let him throw up while he pats his back. He could hear him finish up coughing a bot as he reached over grabbing a clean rag and cleaning his face checking to see if he got any spit upon him. Luckily he didn't have any on him so it was alright since he didn't have any clothes for a boy. Once he was sure he held him by his side in his arm while he began cleaning the skin washing the spit up down the drain.
"Well, at least it was better than you making a worse mess like the couch. That stuff is hard enough to get out of the pillows."
"Ahhhh bu."
"Yea little guy."
*Rasberry*
(Arc family)
The airship had landed after hours of torture for every passenger. The horrible sounds coming from the bathrooms and the seats finally ended. As the horrible sounds ended the passengers began removing their earphones and earplugs once the sounds begin dying down.
Many of the passengers quickly got up from their seats grabbing their luggage from the overhead compartments or by their feet, once they did have their things and belongings they quickly rushed for the door as it slowly began opening releasing them from the horrible torture they listen to on that flight. As they left the aircraft only a small group remained as the bathroom door opened revealing the two Arcs who had been making horrible sounds from there for the past couple hours.
"Finally...free…" Was heard as they crawled back weak from puking and dry heaving the entire flight. As they did June walked past stepping over them.
"Alright grab your stuff and hurry up." She ignored the cries of 'agony' while she walked down the ramp now wearing a thick jacket while Joan was also bundled up now in a baby winter coat while they were standing in the cold. The flight to Atlas was a pain but it was the closest place for the witch. After a few minutes, she was followed by her family as they were now wearing clothes suitable for the cold weather. While she was walking with them she heard a cheery voice calling them.
"Son! June! Munchkins! You all made it!" She looked seeing her father-in-law standing in a thick coat while he held a sign, looking ridiculous - with Arc family written in marker. He looked pale as he stood shivering a bit. They all gasped looking at him in such conditions rushing towards him as he put down the sign smiling happily. He was soon surrounded by worried family.
"Pops how long have you been out here waiting for us!?" John asked removing his much thicker coat and putting it over his father in an attempt to warm him up. He could feel the shivering and cold feeling in his hands as the other's surrounded him.
"Why were you out here Gramps?" Athena asked worried about him as he seemed very cold as his face was ice cold as she touched it.
"I-i-it's o-okay." He said through his shivering as the steam from his breath flows out. His cheery smile made them feel so bad for him having to be out here. They began taking him away and start heading for a warm place and get something for him to drink.
After a bit, they left the place and found a restaurant where they could enjoy themselves while helping warm their cold grandfather. They had him order something warm to drink along with food as they did the same.
"Dad how long were you waiting out there for us?" John asked while sitting next to his father that was still shaking a bit with his cheeks flushed as he slowly warmed up. He put the cup down as the cup clinked against the wood due to his shaking hands.
"O-oh I'd o-o-only s-say about an hour and an h-half." He said still smiling without a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Dad why were you out there so long!?" He asked worried about his father while they all stayed near him.
"I am sorry f-for making you all worry so much. It's just I w-was so excited to se-see you all I didn't want to be late at all." He looked down with a bit of shame, while still keeping his smile.
"But I forgot what time your flight arrived so I came much earlier than expected." He said feeling so silly for doing such a thing.
"Why didn't you call grandma?" One of his grandkids asked making him rub his neck chuckling a bit.
"Hehe, well the truth is I left mt scroll at home. I'm sorry for being such a fool."
"Dad, it's alright you made a mistake. It happens all the time. Doesn't matter how old you are." His son reassured him knowing he had been getting confused for a while now. But when he wasn't in this cold hell called Atlas he was a spry man with lots of energy. He patted his father on the shoulder before grabbing the scroll from his coat pocket and opening it. Once it was open his pressed the name in his contacts and waited.
"Hello, John. Have you arrived? If you have please be a dear and pick up your father. He left over an hour ago and left his scroll."
"Don't worry I got him. Poor guy's been standing in the cold because he forgot when we got here."
"I swear...bring him home after warming him up."
"Can do." She then hung up while he put the scroll back down on the table looking over at his father who was playing with his new granddaughter.
"Hey, where's my grandson?"
(Tia's home)
It was late while Tia laid on the couch holding both his daughter Yang and the boy he found in his yard today. They had fallen asleep after their baths while Tia laid on the couch watching t so he just decided to sleep also. Luckily he had spare baby clothes meant for boys since he wasn't sure what Yang would have been so now Jaune was wearing a red sleeve shirt that was red and white stripes while also wearing blue overalls. Then he wore red shoes tied up so he wouldn't get his feet dirty while crawling. It wasn't the best thing for a baby to sleep in but at least it wasn't just in a diaper.
The home was silent while there was a light breeze through the forest around his home until suddenly the sound of something dropped just loud enough to wake up Jaune who looked up and saw a person wearing a big white mask carrying something before putting it down. They walked away while he began turning his legs down off the couch until he slid off and landed on his bottom. Once he was down he began to crawl towards the bag until he lifted himself up and looked inside to see a glass object glowing making his stare while trying to grab it. He continued reaching in while his little fingers continued to reach for the glass object. But then he reached too far and flipped inside the bag landing on soft things while he now held the glass object shaking it watching it move around and glow more. As he did that he could feel the bag suddenly be lifted up with him inside of it. But Jaune was too engrossed with the glowing object that he didn't notice.
(Raven POV)
Finally, he went to sleep. I had to stay here for hours and the sun is almost gone! My time wasted because of him and now I have to hurry up before more things end up worse. At least all I have to do is leave and open a portal outside.
(Port and Ozpin)
"Okay, we have looked all over the forest for hours now," Ozpin said with a sigh while he sat down on a stump tired while Port was laying on the ground. Until he suddenly sat up looking at the tree line while Ozpin watched him uninterested. There was a growl that made him sigh putting his head in his hand.
"Port you deal with it. I'm too tired to do it." Port instantly jumped to his feet while his mustache seemed to wiggle while he smiled finally having something to do. Even if it was one Beowulf. He then picked up a large branch before snapping it at the end before charging into the bushes. After a few seconds, he walked back with a sadden and defeated look on his face.
"Well, did you kill it?"
"...No." He said slumping his shoulders while Ozpin just looked at him.
"Well, then why are you coming back?"
"Someone else killed it…" The man said feeling sadden that his kill had been taken from him leaving him a bit empty. Ozpin raised a brow before speaking up.
"Then who killed it?"
"Some woman with a large white mask. I believe she had a bag with her that held a small...blond…." He slowly stopped talking as he looked up at a wide-eyed Oz. They both instantly began running towards the bushes where they saw exactly who they were looking for. Jaune laying in a bag holding a glass cylinder that seemed to be holding red dust that was glowing brightly. He then held up a green one shaking it starting to make it glow also.
Both Ozpin and Port began panicking - Port pulling his own hair and Ozpin biting his fist - as Jaune was shaking vials of dust making them start to react as they began to glow brighter and brighter. They both began running to stop him from blowing up.
"STOP!" Port yelled loudly booming as the woman noticed them before turning around seeing both of them. She then bolted in the other direction after seeing them thinking they were after her. This just made the two chase after more as they saw Jaune beginning to chew on the dust vial making their hearts skip a beat. The continued following her as she made long strides through the forest until a red portal opened up in the woman's path. The two hunters sped up until suddenly, just as they were about to catch her, they saw the red dust vial fall out from the bag landing on the ground cracking the glass and making it explode tossing them all through the portal that changed location due to her losing focus.
(Inside the portal)
Raven was confused as she seemed to be falling through her portal which had never happened before. Anytime she used it acted like a door letting her walk in and instantly step out to where she wanted, but now due to her losing focus, she was in a free fall. As she was falling Port and Ozpin were spinning around due to the force of the explosion just tossing them like rag dolls and Jaune. He was just laughing smiling as he felt the rush of air past him while clapping his hands together until another portal opened up as Raven focused making them all fall through leaving whatever that place was.
(Ozpin and Port)
"AAAAAAAAAH!" The two men yelled as they came out of the portal and landed hard on a stack of crates smashing them and whatever was inside them. As they laid there not wanting to get up Ozpin felt something land on his chest to see the blond boy they had been chasing.
"You are nothing but trouble." He said grabbing him while getting up. He set him down on some hay as he began cleaning off what looked like fur before Port did the same. They continued patting off the fur as they looked seeing fabric and cotton. They kept trying to get it off while they saw that it was raw cotton that had just been processed.
"I can't believe we've had so much trouble over an infant." Ozpin was beginning to lose what patients he had to this young man. He was a professional hunter and would be the Headmaster at Beacon academy - the most prestigious huntsman academy in Remnant. But a single blonde infant from the Arc family was somehow making things extremely difficult.
"This whole thing has cemented my thoughts on having kids. Where are we?" Ozpin asked while Port was picking the cotton out from his mustache. He then looked past Ozpin to see that the hay they placed Jaune on was now gone. He went back to cleaning his facial hair before he suddenly looked back and turned - his soon to be - boss's head also making him freeze. They saw that Jaune was gone along with the stack of hay that they hadn't realized was on a wooden cart that was now gone.
(Jaune)
He sat around the hay playing with the dry grass before he turned around and began crawling towards the side. He made it over as he continued crawling over the edge and landing in another cart that was passing by while his feet were in the air before he rolled onto his bottom laughing catching the attention of the person pulling the cart.
"Well, what do we have here?"
"What in the world?"
Jaune looked up at the two people standing there looking at him. He looked at the smaller one and saw ears on the top of her head while the much bigger one had a lot of hair on his face. He then heard a squeak and looked over to his side and saw a baby with black hair and small kitty ears on top of her head as they wiggled a bit. She had bright yellow eye while chewing on a small toy that looked like a fish
*Squeak*
*Squeak*
She chewed on the toy more while she stared at Jaune who had begun chewing on his own hand.
