RWBY: Ever After

"Just what comes after happily ever after?"

Chapter 14

Jaune took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He loved his children, he really did. He enjoyed the summer when he would sit on the couch with his family: little Daisy curled into her mother's side and reading children's books the Weiss held and flipped the pages at their youngest one while Daffodil was groaning as she lost to her father again in the fighting game they had been playing. It was peaceful even if Weiss was glaring at the two of them to keep their volume down to a minimum.

However, it wasn't summer anymore. Weiss had gone back to Beacon a few weeks ago to stay in the dorms with the other teachers (she had complained for weeks about having to stay in a room with Yang again) and that left Jaune home alone with the girls again. In short, spurts that were fine, the girls could avoid each other but the longer they were left to their own devices the more likely they were to collide with one another.

Jaune had realized they reached that climax when he had heard the shattering of a vase followed by the two girls screeching at one another. Jaune had stood to his feet and went running into the room to see what was wrong and make sure none of the girls were injured. After inspecting the girls for any kind of injury and seeing they were fine he began to feel the frustration and irritation set in.

"Now, would one of the two of you care to explain what happened?" Jaune asked as he did his best to give a fiercely disappointed stare.

"Daisy pushed me," Daffodil explained while pointing at Daisy.

"She stole my doll," Daisy retorted returning the childish pointing.

"She didn't want to play with me!"

"She's an idiot!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"No, I'm not, you are!"

Jaune knew he should have known better than to reason with toddlers. Honestly, Ren and Nora didn't have issues with Yuki and Midori and neither did Ruby and Oscar with Sapphire and Clementine. No instead he managed to get the two siblings that can't get along over anything.

"Enough," Jaune said in a voice that quickly made the two girls shut their mouths with an audible snap. "I've decided I don't care and you are both going to go to your rooms until I cool down enough to talk to you two about what you did wrong."

Like puppies, the girl's wen to their rooms with their heads down and pouts on their lips. Jaune hated seeing them like that but unfortunately, if he bowed down too much then they would never learn to love and respect one another. Jaune could feel himself eyeballing his scroll before he even realized what he was contemplating. He knew he needed to handle this himself, he was their parent too. Weiss shouldn't have to be involved when she was already having her hands full with seventeen to twenty-two-year-old adults. It was easy when the two girls couldn't even talk to one another.

Sighing in defeat Jaune finally grabbed his scroll and called his wife. It was around lunch time so hopefully, she was not teaching a class. The scroll rang once, twice, a third time and finally, there was an answer it felt like an angel herself had answered his prayers.

"This better be good Jaune I still have twelve papers to grade before three o'clock." Yep just like an angel.

"Sorry snow angel," Jaune said with a slight laugh as he could just hear Weiss rolling her eyes at his pet name for her. "The girls are fighting again and I just… don't know how to deal with this."

"You are asking me for advice? We weren't only children Jaune surely you are more qualified to figure this out then I am. I mean my brother and I hate each other and Winter and I were naturals together."

"That… is an excellent point."

"Honestly," Weiss said with her voice mixed somewhere between a sigh and a laugh. A special mixture that was reserved just for him. "Their kids they're going to fight. If you just make sure they eventually make-up and realized their family then you are good."

"Thanks, Weiss," Jaune said with a small smile. "I love you."

"Of course you do," Weiss stated. "Now go fix our family and let me work in peace." With that Weiss hung up making Jaune chuckle. Somethings never changed.

With his wife's words of encouragement, Jaune wandered up the steps ready to talk to his daughters. Jaune knew what he had to do. Knocking on the door to signal his entrance to the girl's room he saw a scene very similar to what he expected. The girls each faced away from one another with their heads still down in shame.

"Alright enough sulking you two," Jaune said and the two girls looked up and faced him. "Now do you two know what you did wrong."

The girls nodded their heads and Jaune sighed. He supposed they were young and going nuts about this wouldn't be helpful in the slightest. So instead of yelling at them about some ugly vase that he had bought from an antique shop because they needed a vase, he wanted to tease them an important lesson instead.

"Come here girls," Jaune said as he sat cross-legged on the floor or their shared bedroom. The girls quickly listed to their father with a smile forming on their faces. Daffodil's blonde hair bouncing and Daisy's white hair that matches her mother's swinging from her ponytail. They both moved to sit in their father's lap. Their eyes two different shades of blue and their likes and dislikes are completely different. But Jaune could see similarities too. Their mother's conviction and his gentleness.

"No matter what happens girls you two are family. And at the end of the day, you two are the only people you can count on. Don't ever forget you love each other," Jaune said with a smile and the girls looked to each other and smiled as well. Hugging before Jaune could even prompt them to kiss and make up.

Yeah, they would always be a pain but they will also always love each other, even if they fought like cats and dogs.
