"Taiyang...Raven..." Qrow mumbled in his sleep.

"He's getting worse, he might not make it." Jaune said.

"No, he has to make it." Ruby said. "I can't lose someone else."

"We'll try to save him but there is a chance he won't make it." Ren said.

"No, I won't let that happen." Ruby said, now starting to cry.

"Okay, we won't let him die." Jaune said as they continued to walk.

"Taiyang...Raven...Summer..." Qrow mumbled.

"Taiyang, is Raven home from her mission?" Qrow asked over the phone.

"Yeah, she got back yesterday. Why?" Taiyang asked.

"Can you two come over, we have a surprise." Qrow said.

"Okay, we'll be over soon." Taiyang said, happily before hanging up.

"Who was that?" Summer asked.

"Taiyang and Raven, they are going to come over soon. And we are going to tell them about the baby."

"Now?" Summer asked.

"Yes, now. When else where you planning on telling them?" Qrow asked.

"I don't know. When the baby came out?" Summer said, questionably.

"Summer, come on, it will be fine. What's the worst that can happen?" Qrow said.

"What if Raven doesn't like it, or she..." Summer was interrupted by a kiss planted on her lips. She quickly molded into it as she felt all her worries wash away.

Qrow finally pulled away and said, "There is nothing to worry about. I know Raven and I know you'll be fine. Okay?"

"Okay." Summer said.

About 20 minutes later there was a knock on the door. Qrow answered it and was met by Taiyang and Raven. Raven held the hand of their little girl. She excitedly ran up to Qrow and gave him as big of a hug as she could manage. The three were welcomed inside and told to sit down. Once seated, Qrow began talking.

"So, how's life with a little girl running around?" Qrow asked.

"It's been pretty good. She is really kind and is always full of energy." Taiyang said.

"Even at night when we are trying to sleep." Raven said, a bit of anger was in her tone.

"Raven, come on, she's only 1. She doesn't know better." Taiyang said.

"She should know how to not cry at 2 in the morning." Raven snapped back.

"She'll learn eventually." Taiyang snapped back.

"She better." Raven sighed. "I can't wait for you two to have kids. Why do you have to wait so long?" Raven asked. "Just do it now and get it over with. You really only need one."

"Well," Summer interrupted, "I bet you'll be happy to know that I'm pregnant."

"You're...what?" Raven seemed taken aback.

A large smile was growing on her face. "You heard me" she said.

"Oh, my god. That's amazing you two! Congrats! How long have you know?" Taiyang asked

"About a week and a half." Qrow said.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Raven asked.

"We don't know. It's too early. But we are hoping for a girl so Yang can have a little sister." Summer said.
