Chapter 52

(Cinnamon's perspective)

I yawned and stretched as I woke up. Sunlight turned the room around me a gold color. I sat up and noticed something off in the corner of the room. I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus my slightly blurred vision. It was a crib, with a cardboard box next to it with a letter on it. I stood up and yawned sleepily. I heard soft mewing coming from the corner of the room. It couldn't be. There was a small catgirl in the crib, sleeping rather soundly, mewing every now and then. I read the letter, there was no name, but I immediately recognized the handwriting. No-one wrote quite as perfectly as Qrow. I read the letter and looked through the stuff in the box, there were a couple baby toys, a box of diapers and a small box of baby wipes and a book on raising catgirls. The little catgirl woke up and giggled softly. I took the blanket off of her and wrapped it around her so it was wrapped much more loosely and the small catgirl could move a bit more freely. She yawned and I gently stroked her head. She seemed hungry so I lay back down on my bed and pulled my blanket around myself. I gently stroked her head and lay in my bed with her for a while. A few minutes later Maple walked into the room, thinking I was still asleep. "Wake up Cinnamon," She said as she walked in. She rubbed her eyes. "Wait... Where did you... Oh, nevermind I probably don't want to know," Maple said, walking out of the room. I changed into my regular clothes and brought her into the living room. Shigure walked over to me. "Where did this little one come from?" Shigure asked with a smile, gently rubbing Amaya's head. "The letter didn't have a name on it but the handwriting could be none other than Qrow's," I told Shigure. I pulled a small toy mouse from one of my pockets and dangled it in front of Amaya while I talked to Shigure.

(Qrow's perspective)

I was sitting in the living room taking some time to relax when I got a text from Shigure. It read: "My sincerest apologies but it appears Cinnamon won't be coming to work today due to an unexpected course of events this morning."

 I grinned. "So she did get my gift, good to hear," I responded. "So you did indeed do this," Shigure wrote. "Yep," I replied, sticking my phone back in my pocket. Vanilla walked over and sat in my lap, giving me a kiss. I gently stroked her head and she purred softly. I hugged her and we headed downstairs. Vanilla and I went for a walk and headed over to the Minaduki household. I saw Cinnamon laying on the couch with Amaya. "Hello," I said. "Oh, hello Qrow, and thank you as well, you were right when you said I always wanted a baby," She said. I smiled and gently scratched her head. "I always liked the way your ears fold downward like this, it's so adorable," I said. We left a couple hours later and headed back to the shop. I got a text from Royal saying there was another Rogue Speed event today. Raven seemed like she wanted to come with us, so she hopped in Coconut's car. I changed into my racing suit and Vanilla hopped in my car. I drove to the event and Raven sat down among the crowd with Shigure who was currently holding Amaya. I was up first, against another muscle car, I blazed down way ahead of them and continued winning race after race. At the end, some people seemed salty that I beat them and were gathered around my car. I put a hand on the hood before they could lift it. "Don't go sabotaging my car," I said, grabbing my Rogue Speed jacket. I cracked my knuckles and they ran off. Some other people walked up to me asking for signatures and Raven walked up too. "That was amazing," Raven said as I continued to sign things. I smirked. "Would it be possible for me to try my hand at racing?" Raven asked. "Like father like daughter, eh?" I replied. "We'd have to start you off with a car that drove at normal speeds before we built one that goes from 0 to 60 faster than you can snap your fingers. If you can drive at normal speeds I can build you a custom car, that sound good?" I said. "Okay," Raven said, giving me a hug. I finished signing things and then went to talk to Raven about getting her car. "First off, what kind of car do you want?" I said. "A Camaro ss just like yours," She said. I grinned. We drove back to the shop and I changed into my regular clothes. After dinner, Raven changed into her pajamas and went off to sleep in Royal's room. Vanilla and I cuddled up in our bed and I lay awake for a few hours to make sure everybody else was asleep. I snuck out and bought the car from someone and it was in great shape, it was still driveable, though it needed some parts repaired or replaced. I brought it to a car garage to repair it myself and fixed it up so it was almost brand new. It was a 1969 Camaro ss just like mine, but it didn't have a blower and was more of a dark gray than it was black. I bought a blower, the hood for the blower, and some black paint and painted it black. I put in the blower and then quietly drove it back to the shop's garage. I parked it and threw a tarp over it, then headed back upstairs and sat down on the couch since it was only about an hour until everyone else would normally wake up and passed out almost immediately. I woke up an hour later with Vanilla gently shaking me awake. I rubbed my eyes and stood up with a stretch. I went to kiss Vanilla when she stopped me. "Go get a shower first, I don't want to get covered in oil," Vanilla said. I kissed her anyway and the front of her nightgown got a bit of oil on it and I snickered. She jokingly faked being upset as she walked off to take a shower. Raven walked into the living room and noticed I was covered in oil. "Go check the garage," I said to Raven with a smirk. Her eyes lit up as she headed down to the garage and I hopped in the shower with Vanilla. I cleaned all the oil off myself and dried off. I grabbed Vanilla's nightgown and my clothes and put them in the washer and pulled on some clean clothes. I made breakfast and went into the garage with Raven. "Thank you!" Raven said as she hugged me. "After breakfast, we can test it out okay?" I said. We ate breakfast and I brought Raven to an empty track and had her drive around the track a few times. To say she was amazing would be an understatement. After a couple more laps she stopped and hopped out. "How did I do?" She asked. "You greatly exceeded my expectations," I said. We drove her back to the shop's garage and I put in all the new parts for the exact same specifications as my car and when I was done I slid out from under the car. "Do you want it painted with any specific designs?" I asked. "Flames, like yours please," She said. "How about I do them in crimson instead of purple, otherwise we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between your car and mine," I said. She smiled. "That sounds good," She said. I painted it and Raven gave me a hug. I gently rubbed her head and showed her the car. "It's amazing!"Raven said. "I'm glad you like it," I said. I grabbed a measuring tape and a piece of paper and wrote down all the necessary measurements so Karol could make her a suit similar to mine. While her suit was being made I brought her to the track to see how well she handled the speed and power of the car now it had all its new parts. She did even better than before. I pulled up my car next to hers and started the countdown. We blazed down the track at the same time and she almost won, but I pulled ahead by like an inch or two near the end. "You did good," I said, giving her a pat on the back. We drove back to the shop and parked our cars in the garage. About a week later Karol came over with a box. "This is for you," Karol said to Raven, handing her the box. Her suit was similar to mine except the flames were crimson and on hers from her waist to just under her arms was a flame design almost like a corset and where the flame design for the legs of my suit only went above my knees, the flame design on hers extended most of the way up her legs. "I didn't know if you wanted the same skull design on your helmet that he has so I didn't paint it, but if you do want the design I can bring you the helmet tomorrow," Karol said. "Yes please," Raven said. "Okay then, but for now tell me how well the helmet fits," Karol said, handing it to Raven. She put it on her head and looked around a bit, then pulled it back off. "It fits perfectly," Raven said, handing the helmet back to Karol. "See you later then. Oh, by the way, there's another event tomorrow. Might I see you there?" Karol asked. "I'll try, thanks for the heads up," Raven said. Karol left and Raven folded her new racing suit back up and put it in the box, setting it on her dresser. I hopped in the shower to wash the oil off myself again and then made dinner and went to bed with Vanilla. The next day after lunch Raven pulled on her racing suit and I grabbed mine and pulled it on. Raven and I drove to the event and when we arrived Karol handed Raven her helmet. Once again, the helmet was similar to mine except the flames were crimson instead of purple. "Thanks Karol," Raven said. "No problem," Karol replied. They called Raven up first. "Good luck," I said. She put on her helmet and went out to the track.

(Raven's perspective.)

"Calm down, you got this, his car's got nothin' on you," Dad said as I hopped in my car.

3... Chill out,

2... You got this,

1... You're fine,

GO!

I blazed down the track way ahead of the Mustang. Guess I was worrying for nothing after all. I continued winning race after race. I was on to my last race. They called me up and then... They called Dad up as well. "Oh god," I said. Dad gave me a light pat on the back. "Calm down, you'll do fine," Dad said in an attempt to calm my nerves. It helped a bit. Dad and I lined up at the starting line.

3... Prepare yourself,

2... Hit the gas first,

1... Get ready,

GO!

I hit the gas and got off the starting line just a second faster than Dad, but he wasn't far behind. He caught up, it was almost neck and neck. I pulled slightly ahead at the last second and won by a few inches. I got out of my car and collapsed onto my knees. Dad ran over and my hands were shaking. "Are you okay?" Dad asked. "Y-yeah... I j-just n-need a minute," I stuttered. "Okay then," Dad said. I recollected myself and Karol walked over. "That was amazing, then again your car and Qrow's are the same, either way, that was impressive," Karol said. "How would you like to race me?" Karol asked me. "Did I hear you correctly? R-race y-you?" I stammered. "Yeah," Karol replied. "That would be an honor," I said. Karol and I pulled up to the starting line.

3... If Dad can do it,

2... In the same car,

1... So can I,

GO!

I hit the gas and blazed off in front of Karol. I couldn't believe I was actually doing it. I hit the brakes to stop once I crossed the finish line. SNAP! "Oh god no!" I said. I closed my eyes as I waited for the impact. I felt the back of the car lift into the air and then bounce as it came back down to the ground. I slowly opened my eyes to see a huge creature similar to a black panther with a grip on the front of my car. I felt like I was going to faint. "I... I'm a-alive..." I said as I began laughing hysterically. I stepped out of the car and collapsed onto my hands and knees. I looked up and the creature was gone and Dad was standing there, breathing heavily. He turned to me. "You... Okay...?" He said. He pulled off his helmet and came over to me and gave me a hug. "I... Almost died..." I said. "You're okay now," He said, pulling my helmet off. "You won, good job," Karol said, handing me a contract. I read over it and since Dad taught me all this stuff I was able to easily understand what it said. I signed the contract and handed it back to Karol. "Welcome to Rogue Speed," Karol and Dad both said as Dad grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me up. My knees buckled and Dad caught me before I fell down again. Dad carried me to his car and handed me his cane. "Thanks," I said, leaning on the cane. "Come on, I'll drive you home," Royal said as he walked up. "Thanks, but what about my car?" I replied. "I'll get it towed back and see what the damage is," Dad said. We drove back to the shop and I handed Dad his cane. I changed into my nightgown and went to sleep in Royal's room. Royal lay down next to me and gave me a hug. You did well," Royal said, giving me a kiss. I nuzzled up next to him and fell asleep as he gently rubbed my head.

(Qrow's perspective)

After Raven went to sleep I made dinner for everyone else and then grabbed my dent puller and checked on Raven's car. I fixed the dents in her hood and then slid under the car. The brakes had snapped clean in half. I went out and bought a replacement and quickly replaced them. I checked for any other damages and everything else was fine. I slid out from under the car and changed into my jeans and I went to bed with Vanilla.
