Chapter Text
"Bye, Mrs. Jaune's Mom~!" Nora waved as the portal closed.
"So, um, this is..."
"Oh, right. Guys, this is my nephew, Adrian." Pyrrha, Weiss, and Yang all cooed as they gathered around the infant. He stirred a bit in his uncle's arms.
"He's so adorable~!"
"Wook at his widdwe fingews~!"
"I want one~."
"Why did your mother suddenly drop him off?" Ren asked. "Is this one of those annoying mom portals you told us about?"
"Yeah, kinda. But it's also because my sister and her wife had something important to do and they couldn't find a babysitter." He looked down to his nephew. "So she asked Mom and Mom... Well, you already know what happened there. She said it'll be good practice."
"Good practice for what?"
"Oh, you know, raising a kid, watching them grow up, maybe inspire me to give her another grandkid." Jaune shrugged, making the baby Adrian coo in his arms. "Normal mom stuff, right?"
"Actually, my mother isn't all that interested in having grandchildren yet." Pyrrha admitted.
"My mother would prefer the bloodline die with her children." Weiss explained.
"The less said about Raven, the better." Yang scowled.
"My mom is dead." Ruby plainly said.
"Hey, mine, too! Isn't that weird?" Nora beamed.
"...Ren?" Jaune looked to the only other semi-adult male in the room.
"Also passed." The robed man nodded.
"Ah." Jaune nodded. "Bla-"
Before he could finish, the ninja of Team RWBY placed her hand on his shoulder. No words were said, not when the eyes spoke enough for the both of them. At long last, the two had found a kindred spirit, both suffering the same, yet dissimilar fate. They both had a baby-crazy mother.
"Thank you~." Jaune almost cried. Adrian made a face and the girls backed away. "Oh, uh, Blake, could you-" And she was gone. Like the traitor that she was.
