I'm Pregnant!
To say Ruby Rose was nervous would be the biggest understatement on Remnant, even more so than saying Yang Xiao Long loved making puns. Ruby was shaking slightly with her heart pounding in her chest as she sat in an exam room at the prenatal care center of the Schnee Dust's Company's personal hospital. She tried her best keep calm and focus on her breathing.
Of course, Ruby wasn't alone, thankfully she had her wife, the current CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss Schnee-Rose (they both preferred to be called Mrs. Rose though) right beside her, just as nervous as she was. Weiss was holding one of Ruby's hands as tenderly as she could, slowly rubbing her thumb soothingly behind the younger woman's hand. Ruby was so glad over the fact that Weiss was at least trying her best to keep them both calm. How could they not be nervous though? The doctor had just examined Ruby to see if she was finally pregnant.
The two of them have been married for about 3 years now and had decided that they want to start a family. Weiss, in most of her life, was deprived of having a warm and loving family, and has long since yearned to build one of her own. Of course, she would only build one as long as Ruby would be ready for it. Ruby, on the other hand, was more than willing to start a family with Weiss once the older girl admitted she wanted one and was ready to have a child. Ruby would gladly grant any wish Weiss made, anything to make her happy and smile till the end of days. Besides, Ruby always wanted to have kids, it was just a bonus that she got to have them with the most beautiful girl in existence.
And so they tried. They both agreed that if there was a way to have a child with both of their genes, they would try that method first before considering a sperm donation or adoption. Thankfully, the Schnee Dust Company had advanced with their workings of dust and have discovered a way for pregnancy between two women to be possible. The procedure was simply mixing both of their DNA's together from their eggs, putting that combined DNA into a fertilized egg, then finally injecting that egg into the womb of whomever wished to carry the child.
Ruby volunteered to carry the baby telling Weiss that she wanted to feel the entire experience of being a mother. Weiss didn't argue with her on that; because one, having Ruby the one be pregnant means she wouldn't have to worry so much about the brunette being reckless during her hunts; and two, Weiss would have the perfect excuse to watch over and take care of her wife more, rather than worrying about the company.
Ruby's heart swelled with happiness from this. Even though she already knew Weiss would make sure she's always safe and healthy, it still made Ruby's heart melt whenever Weiss showed so much concern and love for her.
The unfortunate part that kept breaking both of their hearts however, was that they've tried this process twice already, and each time, Ruby didn't get pregnant. Apparently, to be "officially" pregnant, the egg has to implant itself in the womb first, which was the part that kept failing. And now with their third time trying this, they both sat there patiently waiting for the doctor to reveal the results of Ruby's exam.
"Hey Weiss… you'd still love me even if I'm not get pregnant, right? You won't leave me, will you?" Ruby quietly whispered. Her voice dripping with sincere sadness of the possibility.
Weiss was caught completely off-guard by the sudden questions her wife just uttered. "W-what? Ruby, of course I would never leave you, and I will most certainly never stop loving you for as long as I live."
Weiss then held Ruby's already tear-streamed face gently with her hands. "I love you, Ruby Rose. I always will, so stop it with these insane thoughts of me leaving you. That will never happen. Not ever. Got that?"
Ruby sniffled and nodded, giving Weiss a small, but genuine smile. "I'm sorry, Weiss. It's just we've tried this already! Twice! … and I don't want to keep disappointing you or hurting you all because I can't-"
"Stop. Ruby, honey, you will get pregnant, okay? You are not incapable of doing that. This procedure is just fairly new and getting pregnant is not an easy process in general. We just have to keep trying. Things will work out… and even if it doesn't, we'll try other methods. Just, whatever happens, I definitely will not leave you. Please no more crying, and no more negative thoughts, Ruby." Weiss said placing a tender kiss on the younger girl's forehead. If there was anything in the world that could shatter Weiss's heart in an instant, it would be Ruby crying and being genuinely sad. Weiss would do absolutely anything to prevent that from happening.
"R-right. Sorry Weiss. This will work! Gotta think positive." Ruby exclaimed while smiling, finally having that spark of hope back in her eyes. The tears that spilled from her eyes were also gone and wiped away thanks to Weiss.
Then Ruby giggled causing Weiss to look at her curiously.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing really. I just find it cute that for once, you're the one that's trying stop me from worrying and being negative. It makes me feel really happy and giddy inside. Thank you, Weiss." Ruby gave her wife a big grin showing-off exactly just how happy Weiss made her.
This actually made the older girl blush. Even after all these years Ruby can still get her flustered. "I-it was nothing! I just can't stand seeing you crying… and besides, your thoughts were becoming completely ridiculous." She huffed.
Ruby rubbed her head sheepishly.
"Hehe, yeah I guess my thoughts did kind of went a little bit over board there."
Before Weiss could add more to their conversation, the doctor finally re-entered the room. He wore a flat expression making it difficult for both women to predict the results. This didn't make them feel better, but it also didn't make them feel any worse. However, once the doctor made eye-contact with both of them, his face broke out in a wide smile.
"Congratulations Mrs. Rose! You're indeed, 100%, officially pregnant! I made sure to check thoroughly, and sure enough, you are carrying your child."
Ruby honestly couldn't believe it at first. "I-I'm really pregnant?" She whispered in disbelief. "O-oh my god! Weiss! I'm pregnant! We're going to be parents! Aren't you exci-" Ruby's words immediately died in her mouth once she found her wife's beautiful face filled with tears.
Weiss sniffled. "Thank goodness! Oh my gosh! Ruby! I'm so, so happy!" She said between hiccups.
Ruby signaled the doctor to give them a few moments of privacy before he had to give her the run-down of what not-to-do and whatever else while pregnant. He nodded and exited the room while the younger woman went back to her overjoyed and very much relieved wife.
It took only now for Ruby to realize that Weiss was also affected by the pass failed attempts at this, but was just being strong so that she won't feel horrible about not be able to get pregnant. Weiss must've have felt so relieved, she just had to cry for joy.
Ruby gently wrapped her arms around the former heiress "I'm really,really happy too, Weiss. Thank you so much for giving me this gift. I can't wait to meet our child in just around 9 months." Ruby cooed as she rubbed Weiss's back until her tears of happiness were gone.
"No, Ruby, thank you for giving me this gift, and for loving me, and marrying me… I'm just so happy right now. And can you believe it, dear? We're going to be mothers! Oh! We have so much baby shopping to do, and decorating in the house, and… Oh! We have to tell Yang and Winter, and everyone!" Weiss rushed out practically bouncing in her seat.
Ruby had never seen her partner this joyful before and honestly, she found it absolutely adorable. She giggled at this.
"I know, Weiss! I'm so excited! We have to tell them right away! I'm sure Yang will squeal then give me one of her signature bear hugs."
Weiss frowned at that. "That brute had better be careful Ruby! You're pregnant now, which I assume means no monstrous 'Yang hugs.'"
"Aww, Weiss. I'm sure it'll be fine! But you know, I really do wonder how pregnancy is going to be like. You think I'll have super weird cravings or mood swings?"
Weiss hummed in thought. "I guess we're going to have to find out."
