Prequel; A Xodiacian in Remnant (RWBY Qrow Branwen x OC Bellae Evergreen)

Chapter 17- Perhaps Some Things are Meant to Happen

A/N- Uh-oh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A month has passed, Bellae was in her greenhouse garden, she was checking on the herbs that needed to be uprooted, until there was something that caught her eye. To the left of her, she saw a medium sized bush that hadn't grown anything until now. In the bush there were two flowers suddenly blooming. The petals were long, similar to that of lilies, colors for one of them were blush rose, and the other purple-ish gray. Bellae's heart dropped into her stomach, "No - " she dropped to her knees and covered her mouth, "This can't be it. I... I thought..." she mumbled incoherently.

This is the kind of sign her type of Xodiacians have for when they are...expecting. Bellae hadn't grown these flowers herself, only with the added energy of the fetus' inside her. Much to her dismay and newfound fear. The homemade medication she brewed didn't work, what could she say to Qrow, what reasons can she make up for her fault in this situation. She dropped the tasks in what she had planned for today and recused herself in her bedroom. The Xodiacian was laying against her bedroom door and stared at her scroll of what felt like hours, hesitating to call or text Qrow the news.

Bellae thought her being sick was due to the medication working out of her system, but clearly not. After more crucial minutes of waiting, she backed down and went to call Percival for advice. Three dial tones hit until he picked up. "Hey Bellae, what's up?" He said in a rejoiced tone.

"I-I need you to give me some...advice on something." Bellae bawled, trying to use her second pair of hands to cover her mouth. Percival's cheerful attitude quickly dropped and she could hear him get up from a table, hearing the chair squeak back as he got up.

"Did Qrow do something to you? I swear if he - " Percival was fuming, pacing around his house to get his keys, but stopped when Bellae quickly came to defend.

"No no! He didn't...necessarily do anything bad...it's just... I..." Bellae trembled around with her words, trying to pick out the right ones to use.

"Bellae, take a few deep breaths and say what you need to say, whatever is going on between you and Qrow I know you two can work it out. You've shown me yourself that he's an...OK guy, I'll admit that." The Faunus acknowledged, remembering the history between the two lovers.

Bellae did as she was told and took those deep breaths to relax. She was still shaking but at least it wasn't as much as it was before. "I'm...better now." The Xodiacian sighed.

"Good, so what's wrong? You've never cried this hard before." Percival asked, sitting back down in case she wasn't ready to speak with him face to face.

"Me and Qrow made a mistake, um... I don't know how else to put it without giving too much details but...My heat happened last month, Qrow entered my house without warning because he was overthinking why I wasn't answering any calls or texts...Soooo..." Bellae coughed awkwardly, hating to say that whole sentence out loud.

The Faunus was silent on the other line, unsure with what to say and trying to process the news he was given. "I, um, how the hell did you even come to realize this? And you two really did that on your most vulnerable week?! Bellae!" Percival snapped, sounding like a disappointed father hearing that their 'daughter' got knocked up so soon.

Bellae flinched, ears folded back for a moment, "It was an accident! I kinda just um... Tackled him when he stupidly opened my door without warning." she blurted out and nearly choked on her spit hearing Percival's ungodly scream of laughter from the other end.

"Oh my Gods! Horndog you are to him." He wheezed into the microphone, clearing his throat to calm down from that ordeal. "So now that we know what caused...this unexpected event. How far along do you think you are?" Percival asked.
