Sixteen weeks had softly drifted by, marking a significant passage in Weiss and Ruby's journey towards parenthood. As they gathered around the dining table in their cozy home, the air was suffused with the tantalizing aroma of a home-cooked meal, crafted with love and care by Ruby herself. The warmth of companionship enveloped them as they sat together, relishing the comforting flavors of Ruby's culinary prowess, each bite a testament to the bond they shared and the love that filled their home.
Conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter dancing amidst the clinking of cutlery and the soft hum of contentment. Yet, beneath the surface, Weiss and Ruby harbored a secret, a precious treasure they yearned to share with their beloved teammates.
With a subtle exchange of glances, Weiss and Ruby silently communicated their shared decision. Ruby rose from her seat, a blend of nervous anticipation and boundless excitement painting her features with a radiant glow. With careful steps, she crossed the room to retrieve a small, exquisitely wrapped package from the nearby counter. Wrapped in delicate pastel fabric, the package held a baby blanket adorned with the endearing words, "Hey Auntie," a poignant symbol of the new life they eagerly anticipated.
Yang's curiosity flared as Ruby placed the package before them, her eyes alight with intrigue. "What's this?" she inquired, her gaze flickering between Ruby and Weiss.
Blake's expression softened as she read the embroidered words aloud. "Hey Auntie," she murmured, a spark of realization igniting in her eyes.
Ruby's smile widened, her anticipation palpable. "Open it."
With tender hands, Yang and Blake unwrapped the package, revealing the baby blanket nestled within. The significance of the gift washed over them, infusing the room with a profound sense of joy and anticipation.
Yang's breath caught in her throat as she beheld the blanket, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Is this...?" she began, her voice trembling with emotion.
Ruby nodded, her voice trembling with excitement. "Yes, Yang. We're having a baby."
Tears welled up in Blake's eyes as she reached out to touch the soft fabric, her fingers trembling with overwhelming emotion. "Oh my gosh... I-I'm gonna be an aunt?" she whispered, her voice thick with wonder and joy.
Weiss nodded, her heart swelling with love for her teammates. "Yes, Yang. You and Blake are going to be aunts," she affirmed, her voice imbued with warmth and affection.
The air was thick with emotion as they sat in reverent silence, the weight of the moment sinking in. They were no longer just teammates; they were a family, bound together by love and shared experiences. Each heartbeat resonated with the promise of new beginnings, of a future brimming with love and laughter, of a journey they would embark upon together.
But Ruby could contain her excitement no longer. With a nervous laugh and a sparkle in her eyes, she lifted up her shirt, unveiling the tiny bump that had begun to form on her stomach. "Surprise," she exclaimed, her voice filled with unabashed joy and emotion.
Tears of elation glistened in Yang and Blake's eyes as they beheld the miracle of life within Ruby. "Oh, Ruby," Yang breathed, her voice choked with emotion.
Blake reached out to tenderly place a hand on Ruby's stomach, her touch gentle and reverent. "This is... incredible," she murmured, her eyes shimmering with wonder and awe.
Weiss's heart swelled with love as she looked upon her family, knowing that no matter what trials lay ahead, they would face them together, as a family united in love and solidarity. And as they shared that meal together, their bond stronger than ever, they knew that their love would carry them through whatever challenges the future held.
As the evening waned and the stars began to twinkle in the velvet expanse of the night sky, they lingered at the table, basking in the warmth of each other's company, grateful for the love and support that surrounded them. And as they finally retired for the night, their hearts were filled with hope and anticipation for the journey that lay ahead, knowing that their family was ready to embrace the future, one precious moment at a time.
