PoV Rose

I opened my eyes to see I was in bed. I let out a sigh as I felt two arms wrapped around me. I smiled as Rose snuggled up behind me. She was still asleep with a goofy smile on her face as she pulled closer. I didn't protest, wanting nothing more than to stay like this a while longer. It was calming the way we were, snuggled up against one another, hearing the sound of the morning outside but alas such a feeling had to come to an end eventually when she woke up with tired whine.

“You awake?” I heard her say as she woke up. “If so then don’t answer… we can snuggle some more…” She said in a tired tone. I rolled my eyes before saying.

“You know we have to get up.” I told her in a hushed tone. Rose groaned in response though she refused to let go.

“You can’t leave, I have you in my arms…” she said as I felt her lips kiss my back. I couldn't but chuckle at her behaviour. It was then I felt my stomach rumble and I soon tried to free myself from Rose’s arms.

“Come on Rose, I'm getting hungry~.” I whine as I continued. Rose grumbled a bit as I felt her arms leave me.

“Fine… damn you hunger.” Rose complained as the two of us got out of bed. I stretched a bit until I felt a shirt cover my head. “Here, it’s that big shirt you like.”

“Didn't think you'd wanted me to wear any.” I said teasingly at the stretching Rose.

“That’s true, but do you want what Viri and Ruby did happen again?” Rose asked me as she wrapped some cloth around her chest. I rolled my eyes at the memory before putting the shirt on, letting it cover most of my nudity before heading downstairs to eat. Rose followed behind and we soon enjoyed a lovely breakfast together which soon led to some kissing, that led to makeout session before found ourselves back on the bed. Rose and I laid there before Rose giggles. “Odd to see we’re back in bed again.”

“You started it.” I said as we laid there under the covers once again. She grins at me as she shifted over and wrapped her arms around me again and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

“It’s worth it.” She said with a smile. I smiled at her before it turned into a smirk when I straddled her.

“Round two?” I asked her with arched brow and mischievous smirk. She smiled at this.

“For you? Always.” she said before we continuing our early morning fun.

I sat with Ruby and Qo as we ate a late breakfast as everyone else seemed to be enjoying their day off. As we ate and chatted I noticed Lana walking over to us alone. It was an odd sight to see her without Rose with her.

“Hey Lana, where's Rose?” I asked her.

“She's with the other two that helped out.” Lana explained as she sat down with the three of us. “They arrived not long ago on Rockmond's shoulder, they were quick to ask many question about the Ark and Rose was kind enough to get them to refrain from asking any more.” Lana said with a smile as she looked over to the gates. Following her gaze, me and Ruby saw Rose speaking to the other two people that helped us during the big fight. “She was very happy to see them.”

The three of us smiled at her before Qo spoke. “Hey what was that light thing that came out of Beta?” Lana smiled a little at the question before answering.

“I asked the same to Rose after… breakfast.” Lana had stopped mid sentence and blushed before shaking her head and continuing. “With what Rose explained to me, I am to believe that the light was the Traveler's power. The Traveler being the entity that granted Rose her powers and abilities.” Lana said. Ruby, Qo and I gave her an odd look from the sudden stop but said nothing.

“So how are you holding up now that… he's gone?” Ruby asked Lana, refusing to utter the name. Lana smiled and nodded before glancing back at Rose, sighing lovingly as she did.

“After the fight Rose has done nothing but care for me… she never once wanted to leave my side, even more so when we went to bed.” Lana said, simply staring at the conversing awoken huntress. “Because of her, I've nearly forgotten about the ordeal with Rockwell and… his attempted to take me.” She added with a faltering smile. Though her smile strengthened when Rose glanced at her.

“What do you mean?” Qo asked Lana, getting her attention. Lana let out a sigh at this before answering.

“He was delusional… he believed that deep down I still had feelings for him.” Lana said, gaining surprised looks from the three of us.

“You had a thing for him?” Ruby asked in disbelief. Lana rolled her eyes but nodded anyway.

“It was more of a crush than anything and at the time, he seemed like a caring man… but it turned out that it was a elaborate facade for me to aid him in his research.” Lana said, growling out the last word before shaking her head. “I was young and new to the Ark at the time, I was naive… and stupid, I couldn't see him for what he truly was.” Lana said, resting her head against the table. Both Ruby and I looked at each other before Qo spoke.

“And Look where that crush left you.” Qo started to say to get everyone's attention. “You are now with a loving, be it very physical, relationship with a pale blue immortal gunslinger and Rockwell’s… well a pile of glowing goo.” Qo listed off to her. Lana lifted her head up and smiled at Qo, being reminded of her relationship with Rose.

“Thank you, Qo, I really needed that.” Lana said, thanking Qo for lifting her spirits again. Qo smiled and nodded at Lana, happy to have helped. I smiled at my daughter before taking a drink of water.

“So… are you and Rose going to have a kid?” Qo asked. I spat the water out of my mouth after she said that. Ruby nearly choked on her food before taking a swig of her canteen of water.

“Qo!” I yelled as both Ruby and I stared at her.

“What? I'm curious.” Qo replied. Ruby and I quickly looked at Lana, seeing her cheeks redder than a tintoberry. She just sat there in silence with wide eyes, opening and closing her mouth like a goldfish.

“I-I don't know… I've never really thought of it and I'm sure Rose hasn't either but now… now that mention it, the idea of having a family with Rose is… heartwarming, pleasing and…” Lana trailed off into her own thoughts, Qo having effectively broken the village’s titan. I gave a side glare at Qo, receiving a sheepish smile from the teen. Lana was deep in thought, her blush never leaving. Whatever she was thinking off had made had made her fidget in her seat. Ruby and I took this moment to finish our meal, as well as scold Qo for asking such an invasive question.

“Heyoo!” Rose greeted with a large smile as she walked up to us. “How goes it?”

Both Ruby and I gave her a glance as Qo gave her the same sheepish smile. Rose looked at us oddly before looking at Lana. “Lana? Are you okay? You're really red.” Rose asked in a worried tone as she put her and on Lana’ s forehead to check if she's warm. Without uttering a word, Lana placed her hand over Rose’s before standing up and looking at her.

“I need to talk to you… in private.” Lana said to the pale blue huntress. Rose gave her a questioning look but that quickly vanished when Lana looked at her with a determined look.

“Uhh, sure… I can spare a minute.” Rose said to Lana. With Rose is hand in hers, Lana guided Rose away into a more private area.

Rose

I didn't know what'l was going on as Lana dragged me away from the others to talk to me. I didn't ask her why she was doing this but that was slowly running thin. It wasn't until we were at the edge of the platform behind Lana’s home that we stopped, Lana’s cheeks were as red as they could possibly be.

“Uhh is something wrong?” I asked her before asking. “Did something happen? Are you alright?” Lana nodded, still holding my hand.

“Everything's fine… nothing happened but…” It was obvious that whatever Lana wanted to say, she was having trouble saying. “I've been thinking…” She was able to say. My eyes widen at this, was she having second thoughts of coming back with me? Well it was a big decision for her and right before we dealt with him… it made sense.

“Hey, I understand Lana.” I said to her with a warm smile. “If this is your choice then I'll stay here with you, always.” Lana looked up at me with a look of confusion before saying.

“What? No no, that's not what this is about.” Lana said, suppressing a laugh after realizing what I was talking about. “I'm going with you, I've already made up my mind about that.” She said with a blushing smile. I couldn't help but smile at her, she just looks so… I can't find the word.

“So… what are you going to ask me?” I asked her, now more confused than ever. Lana took a deep breath before answering.

“Do you… want to have a family… with me?” She asked, looking at me with hopeful eyes. I stared at her when she said that as my head tried to figure out what she meant. We were already a couple… for a good while…

“Uhh…” Was all I said to her as I didn't really get what she meant. My attention was drawn back to her as she started to laugh.

“You're making a lot of funny faces.” Lana said, her laughter dying down into simple chuckles. I gave her a sheepish smile before speaking.

“Sorry Princess, but can you explained what said.” I said sheepishly. Lana rolled her eyes at me, blushing a bit after I called her princess.

“We've been together for almost over six years and they've been the best years of my life. What I ask is, if you would want to take our relationship to the next step.” She explained while looking down at our hands as she spoke with a smile.

“Wait… do you mean you want to… marry me?” I asked her, feeling my own blush form on my face.

“Well when you put it like that… yes.” She said, gazing back up at me with her beautiful smile. I stared at her as she said that.

“We just fought a giant monster that was once a guy with a god complex that I almost lost you to and now you're asking me to marry you.” I said to her. She gave me an odd look as she smiled before chuckling.

“Yeah, pretty much.” She said as if it were normal thing. I didn't say anything from that for a few moments.

“I… need some time to think…” I told her as I saw her smiled turned to a worry frown. “Hmmm, okay done thinking; yes I'll marry you.” Her smile returned before she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in a passionate kiss, one that lasted for quite a while. It didn’t matter to me as this kiss felt like fireworks were going off. Soon we parted and stared into eachothers eyes with big, goofy, smiles. As we did this I realized something. “Uhh, who’s last name are we using?” Lana looked at me with an arch brow and thought on the question for a moment or two.

“Umm, perhap yours.” Lana said looking at me, waiting for my answer. I opened my mouth to say something but… wait, what was my last name?

“Umm…” Was all I could say as I started to search the dark deeps of my memory. It was very dusty. Lana gave me an odd look as I tried to remember… something. A name came to mind as I thought about it for… four minutes. “Beleguard.” I don’t know where the name came from but… sure, it works. Lana hummed after hearing this before saying.

“Lana Beleguard, how does that sound?” Lana asked before looking back at me with a smile. I thought about it, Rose Beleguard, Lana Beleguard.

“It works.” I said with a smile before continuing. “Now if I remember this right… and go with me on this.” I got down to one knee and looked up at Lana with her hand in mine. “Lana, would you marry me?” Lana’s smile grew as tears began to form in her eyes, she must've not been expecting me to do this, especially after she had asked me already. Don’t blame me, I was in the moment!

“Yes… yes I will marry you.” Lana said, tears streaming down as she spoke. I smiled as I got up and gave her a big hug and spun her around… a little away from the ledge. I put her back down and smiled at the tear streaked face of Lana, I smiled as I used my thumb to wipe them away. She didn't protest and leaded into my hand.

“Just think… when we first met we hated each other.” I told Lana with a smile.

“It's hard to believe that we ended up loving and caring for one another.” Lana said in agreement before kissing my bottom lip. I greeted her lips once again, sharing yet another kiss with my beloved Lana. As we parted she gave me an odd expression. “Just so you can answer an odd question; why were you being a pain when we first met?”

“Oh you know… I saw you were being all motherly and stuff to other people and I wanted to bug you.” I said with a big smile on my face. Lana blinked at this before giggling, finding my answer amusing despite it being true. “Okay, my turn for questions: Where did this all come from? I mean you asking me which lead to me asking you to marry me… Just wondering.” Lana blushed a bit as she smiled.

“Well, again we’ve been together for six years and… I’ve been thinking about ever since you asked me to come with you… I guess Qo gave me a push to ask you.” Lana explained.

“Okay… what did Qo say or do?” I asked, more curious at what she did or say. Lana’s blush grew more red before answering me.

“She… asked if we ever thought… having our own kids…” She said, her blush as red as it was before. I blinked at this, surprised that Qo asked this.

“Do you?” I asked her, making her looked at me surprised. “Do you want kids?”

“I'm not opposed to the idea.” Lana admitted with a cute blushing smile. I smiled at this as I pulled her into a kiss.

“When we get all of this sorted, and married. We’ll start thinking of names.” I said as I gave her a wink. She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder, letting out a blissful sigh.

“I love you Rose.” Lana whispered lovingly into my ear.

“I love you Lana.” I whispered back as we stayed like that for sometime.

Viri, one month later

We all stood near the ancient device that we came from at the start of this adventure. The night before we held a large party with everyone to say goodbye and celebrate both Rose and Lana were now getting married. Qo seemed to be happy about that until I told her she was grounded for a little over a month for what she did. Everyone stood by their partner hand in hand or something like that. Lana was giving her last goodbyes to Ed, the Twins, and Rockmond which Rose, me, and Ashe help make a device to tell what Rockmond is saying. The Twins were crying that their oldest friend is leaving them, which made both Lana and Rose cry, though I don’t get why Rose is also crying.

“We’ll miss you Lana.” Ed said with a little sniffle from him. As her last job as Leader of the Tribe, Lana had appointed Ed and the Twins as the new leaders of the tribe with Rockmond as advisor to them. I had a feeling she did that so Rockmond keeps an eye on the three of them. They didn't seem to mind the fact that a Golem had to look after them, though that Golem was Rockmond so I guess there's that. The Twins simply gave her a big hug, at the same time, as they hugged her. They were still crying at this. Lana had been telling them over and over how much she'll miss them all and how she'll never forget either of them.

“While as I don't want to be the ass that asks, shouldn't we be getting a move on?” Indigo asked out to everyone. Rose shot him a glare but didn’t say anything as Axycia spoke.

“As much as I would love to sit here to hear you all say goodbye, Mr. Belladonna is right, we need to get going.” she said before looking at Indigo, smirking a bit. Indigo rolled his eyes at this and refused to give Axycia the satisfaction of annoying him. She chuckled as Theodore holds Alder in his arms as he sleeps and Nyvu was standing by him. I saw Rose walked over to see her two teammates as they stood nearby.

“What are you two going to do?” she asked them. “Coming with?”

“Don’t know, but you’ll see us soon.” Ashe said with a nod.

“Mostly because we’ll be getting you a new ship.” Hound added in a cheerful tone, making Rose chuckle nervously. “I believe you still have the old one after the Tower fell…”

“Oh you don’t mean the Wanderwing…” Rose said with some disappointment.

“Yup~ don’t know why you still have it.” Hound pointed out to her. Rose sighed as she turned and walked back to us. We all waved goodbye to Rockmond and his group as Hound and Ashe simply disappeared, odd that we didn’t see their faces.

“I wonder why they refused to show their faces.” Lana whispered to herself as Rose stopped beside her. Lana wrapped her arm around Rose’s, bringing Rose out of her stump. Rose smiled at this as she gave her a kiss.

“To make others ask questions.” Rose answered with a cocky grin. Lana rolled her eyes while asked if everyone was ready. As soon as everyone nodded at this, my aunt told us to stand near each other so she can get all of us.

“Well I’m going to get really tired after this…” Axycia said as she saw the large number of people that she’s taking. Her mood changed as she saw Theodore was next to her with their two kids. Soon the same symbols appeared and then the bright light came back, blinding us again.

When I could see again, I saw that… we were in the training room… with Father, Divos, Ailis, Yang and her kids there. Everything looked as if we had just left. I looked at Ruby, seeing that she had once again deaged back to the moment we left.

“Wait… didn’t you all just left?” Ailis asked as she looked at all of us. I shrugged as I looked for Qo and… wait.

“Hey! I’m still old!” Qo said, seeing that she was still sixteen and Iilah was still seventeen. I looked over and saw my aunt, who was leaning onto Theodore as she was again really tired, winked at me. I smiled a little bit as I felt something. It was… odd.

“Well, looks like you two are still teenagers.” Rose said with a laugh as she turned to Lana. “So this is the part that…. Uhhh…. Wow.”

We all turned to see Lana… younger. Like, almost the same age as us, give or take. Lana looked over to Rose with an arched brow before asking.

“What?” She asked before blinking at the sound of her voice, hearing the obvious change. “What happened to me?” She asked in a panicked tone.

“Lana you look younger!” Ruby said as Lana saw her, then the rest of us, seeing that we two are younger, other than Qo and Iilah who were older. Rose continued to stare at Lana, a blush forming on her cheeks. She tried to say something but she couldn't.

“I don't think Rose minds.” Tak said with a laugh, he no doubt knew from the silence that Rose was stunned at Lana’s new look. Just as he said that Rose blinked a few times before grabbing Lana’s hands and started to drag her off out of the room. “And she's off.” Tak joked. I chuckled at this as that feeling started to get worse. I put my hand on my stomach as Weiss chuckled at Tak’s joke. Father smiled at the sight of all of us before saying.

“I'm sure you've all got quite the tale to tell.” He said to all of us. He looked over to me and noticed my hand over my abdomen, raising a curious brow as he did.

“Hey… you okay?” Ruby asked me.

“Yeah I’m…” Before I could say anything I felt like something in me wanted out. “No, I’m not fine!” I yelled as I ran to the nearest thing I could throw up in. I found a convenut trash bucket and threw up in that. After a solid few minutes I finished up before sliding onto the floor as a mess. “Forgot about that…” Father was quick to run over to me, worried for my well being.

“What's wrong?” He asked worrying as he hovered his hand above me before it shone a golden light. I knew what this was and put my hand on his to stop him with a smile. “What?” He said in confusion.

“That, I think, was a months worth of morning sickness.” I said to him, gaining an even more confused look from. “Dad, I’m pregnant.” He lowered his hand and looked at me in silence. This went on for more than a few minutes before he closed his eyes and hummed. Soon enough a smile formed and he carefully enveloped me in a hug.

“Now I know you all have an even more interesting tale to tell.” Father said as he helped me up after cleaning me a little. Ruby was behind him, peeking over his shoulder to look at me and he noticed. Ruby yelped when Father brought to join the hug. I chuckled at the sight of this.

“He knows about this.” I said as I put one hand over my belly.

“Ohh.” Ruby said as the two of us got hugged. I smiled at this before releasing something.

“And I have to deal with being pregnant for almost a year…” I said. Ruby made a pity face at me.

“I’ll be here for you.” she said with the same pity smile. I simply gave her a look before laughing.

“Now then, this news is cause for celebration.” Father said with a big smile. Yang walked over to us, curious to know what was happening.

“What’s going on?” Yang asked, hand on her belly with her twins behind her.

“You’re going to become an aunt Yang.” I told her as I smiled at her. She blinked as she saw me where my hand was.

“Oh my Oum!” she yelled with a big smile on her face before looking at her sister. “How?!”

“Ahhh, not going to say.” Ruby said with a little blush on her. “And think about…”

“She helped me with my… heat problem.” I told her with my own blush. Yang looked at me and Ruby before finally at Father, wanting to know how he feels about this.

“As long as Viri is happy, then there isn't any reason for me to oppose of them being together.” Father said before glancing back at me and saying. “If there is anything you ever need to help through your pregnancy, anything at all just let me know and I will make it happen.” Father told me before standing beside Yang.

“Yes, help… for the next nine months of this.” I said with a smile alongside Ruby. Yang looked at the two of us before saying.

“You two are scared out of your minds, aren’t you.” she guessed.

“Very much so.” I said with a painted smile. Father chuckled before we heard the excited squeals of Ailis, bringing our attention back to my aunt and her hubby. “She must’ve found out about Nyvu and Alder.”

“Well, this must be a really good trip you all had.” Yang said with a smile. Father smiled as well when he noticed his new nephew and niece. Axycia was struggling to stay awake and Theodore could only do so much with Alder in his arms. Ailis and Divos were quick to help their mother. Nyvu was worried for her mother, having never seen her this exhausted.

“Alright then, time to enroll you two into this school.” Indigo said to both Iilah and Qo. The latter grinned in excitement, always wanting to become a huntress like me and Ruby. I smiled at her as I went over and gave Qo a hug, only for her to back away.

“You smell bad.” she said quickly.

“... Good point.” I said as Ruby came over to give her a big hug.

“It’s going to be exactly like training on the Ark.” Iilah said with a shrug.

“No.” the whole team of RWBY and I said at the same time, getting a confused look from Iilah.

“Once I get you two in, I have free reign to teach you without having to hold back.” Indigo said with a smirk as he balled his robotic fist. “And with this, I highly doubt it'd be easy.” He said.

“Wait… you were holding back?” Qo asked, making Iilah facepalm.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting as most of us chuckled at Qo.
