chapter ILI: the problems with being a huntress

"Face my raph!" Yang laughed at her younger sister

"Children please" peater sighed pushing the two siblings off his garden wall, I smiled a little and walked up towards the two, holding Ruby's child leash watching as she screamed running away from me.

"Ruby!" I shouted but she had praticaly dissapered already over the headmaster's fence, Yang on the otherhand just looked up at me with a pout "sorry peater" I said sheepishly.

"Not a problem, it looks like you have a handful" he smiled as I nodded.

"Yang go do mummy a favour and go inside and get yours and Ruby's coat" I said pointing at the door, watching as she nodded with a determined face before running back inside our house the larg Victorian style building was not alone surrounded by houses of similar sizes and fancyness.

"Where did little Ruby go?" The professor asked as I pointed to Ozpin's place of residences.

"I would go get her but she will come back with his turtles bite her" as I started to stay that I heard Ruby scream loudly clambering back over the fence and sprinting to my side hugging my leg while she cried, a tiny turtle clamped onto her ear "see" I said before crouched down hugging the girl before slowly pulling the turtle off and putting it in the sniffling girl's hands "go throw that back in the pool" I instructed watching as she did just that coming back to me soon later for a hug.

"Where are you heading off to?" Port asked helping me pull the harness onto the upset girl.

"Raven got herself into a scuff on a mission, going to see her in downtown vale memorial hospital" I sighed watching the professor wince.

"Was it her?" He asked helping me get the girl's coat on once Yang came back with it.

"Yeah, one under her control, but Raven is strong and all what was left of them was a red pile, She got herself thrown off a cliff by a nevermore soon after though and broke her legs and ribs"

"That woman has the heart of a bear and the feriousity of a lion, but I think she wants to see her chicks" I smiled at him giving him a strong hug for that comment, Yang tugged at my cloak while Ruby tried to climb my leg. "Wish her my luck and also my praise at a successful hunt"

"I will" I smiled taking hold of my children's hands before starting the treak towards the landing pads, it really sucks with not being able to drive.

"Hey girls!" The bedridden woman cheered watching as the blond and dark haired girls charged in before I pulled them back, walking them over to her before carefully one by one lifting them into her hospital bed "how has it been sum?" She asked watching as I took a seat before she reached over starting to pet my ears.

"It's been alright, Glynda helped a little yesterday and Peater has aswell" I sighed nuzzling into her touch.

"How's it been with the girls? Have you been coping?" She asked worry in her eyes as Ruby and Yang practically strangled her in hugs, literally they where both rapped around her neck like pythons.

"Yang's no trouble and Ruby's... Ruby I guess I'm just tired blondie over there hasn't been sleeping and Ruby been latched to me like a little tick"

"Have you been sleeping properly? You look like you've only slept once today"

"I haven't napped since you left for your mission, and I know that was two weeks ago" I yawned watching as she was about to answer before then having to reach up to Yang.

"Can't breath little dragon" she choaked watching as she let go sheepishly, while her little sister rested on my wife's pillow next to her head, curled up and sleeping soundly nibbling on the woman's ear and hugging her head like it was the most precocious thing ever "i think Ruby is a little clingy"
