When it Falls

The night was oddly quiet. Yang was asleep and she didn't like the quiet background. Not one bit.

She tossed at turned, unable to sleep on her stomach, or back. Trying her best not to harm her unborn child.

She remembered her final prayer. She'd never prayed since she was little. Dear gods bring me a phoenix.

A phoenix was what she wanted. Salvation from her misery and agony.

It was now seven months in. Two left. And Yang got a pleasant surprise. Her sister always wanted a family of her own.

****

She called everyone together, and holding Jaune's hand she said, "We're having a baby!"

They looked at her and Yang smirked. She'd been right.

Rochelle and Wisp smiled and laughed their quiet laughs.

"Congratulations from the Schnees and Vasiliases," Weiss told her.

"Xiao Longs as well," Yang forwarded.

"And the Belladonnas and Wukongs," Blake added.

"Don't forget us!"

It was Nora. Behind her slowing her down was Ren.

"Hey Ruby! Guess what?" She chided.

Ruby slightly turned her head and faced her. "What?"

"Your announcement includes us too!"

"It does?"

"As of four months ago, when I happily became Ren's Mrs., I now realized our four months together weren't productive enough. So because of last month, I qualify for this too!"

Ruby smiled and hugged her. "Congratulations too then."

She looked at Yang who nervously chuckled. Her stomach showing, causing her to wear more comfortable clothing instead of her usual outfits.

She didn't want her pregnancy to be in vain like hers, but rather a time to rejoice and celebrate. She was married, successful, steady, smart, and wanted a family for the longest time. So Mrs. Arc went for it. And her time was a happy time.

She was at least three weeks along, according to Velvet, who she entrusted all information and was her person to confide in. And coincidentally, was her midwife if something ever happened.

They were growing up. And it was time they became better role models and adults as well. For their children.

Three months in and it was hell for some people. Especially for poor Ren and Nora.

They'd found out that she was expecting not one, not two, but three! Triplets. And he couldn't handle that. It drove him crazy. If they all had her personality, they'd be so much to worry about and constantly driving him insane.

But Ruby had it fairly easy.

"Due to light technology, and the soft wares on scrolls, I'd say you're two and a half months in, and the date would be October 25th this year."

Ruby couldn't contain herself any longer. She jumped up and down and squeeled loudly and excitedly. "I can't wait!" 

She fell back onto Jaune when Velvet told her not to disrupt the development of the baby.

"When do we find out what the gender is?" he asked.

"In a few weeks actually," Velvet told them.
