Grimlock POV

Grimlock sitting on roof of dorm trying to remember what happened and why Grimlock let anger get to him, Grimlock hear footsteps behind him.

Ruby: Grim?

Grimlock turns around and sees Mom, Grimlock turn back to ledge feeling sorry. Mom sits next to Grimlock and wraps arm around me.

Grimlock: Grimlock sorry. Grimlock don't know-

Ruby: Shh, it's okay. You didn't mean for this to happen and no one is mad at you.

Grimlock grateful that Mom is understanding and caring, but Grimlock still feel like monster.

Ruby: *pulls Grimlock into hug* Anger may be the source of your strength but you can't let it control you. Every leader needs to be strong yet steady.

Grimlock: *smiles* Grimlock feel better.

Ruby: Good.

Mom continues hugging Grimlock for what feels like eternity and Grimlock feels more relaxed than before. Mom pulls away and suggests.

Ruby: Now, how bout we go meet my Uncle Qrow?

Grimlock: Who?

Ruby: Trust me, you'll like him. Come on, Grim.

       Mom takes my hand and leads Grimlock back to the dorm where Yang, Slag and an older man with black hair and red eyes.

Ruby: Hey guys.

Yang: Hey, sis. Hey, Grim. You feeling better?

Grimlock: Yes. Slag, Grimlock sorry for hurting you.

Slag: Eh. Apology accepted. Just warn me next time you do that, so I can really enjoy it.

     This gets a laugh out of the old man and Mom introduces us.

Ruby: Uncle Qrow, meet my son, Grimlock. Grimlock, Uncle Qrow, he taught me how to fight.

Qrow: Nice to meet ya, pipsqueak. *extends hand*

       Grimlock has instinct to bite at hand but holds back and accept the handshake.

Yang: Alright, Slag, Grim, you guys hungry?

Slag: I could eat.

Grimlock: Yes.... please.

Yang leads the way into the dorm room and gets both Slag and Grimlock snacks and our usual toys, while our moms talk with Qrow.

Ruby POV

Qrow: So, tell me how you two came to have kids.

Yang: If I remember right, we were with Weiss and Blake walking back to our dorm for the night several months ago.

Ruby: That's right. We heard rustling in the bushes and thought it might be Creeper Grimm. Then Grimlock comes out of the bushes, scared and unsure of us, but we saw he was in torn rags, dirty and scarred. We knew he needed help so I offered until a roar from the Emerald forest got Grim's attention and he races back to the forest.

Yang: Being our usual caring and stubborn selves, we followed Grim through the forest until we found the others trapped by a large Grimm. I asked Yang, Weiss and Blake to protect the other kids while I hepled Grimlock destrpy the Grimm.

Qrow: No offense, but how did a kid help beat a Grimm?

Grimlock: Offense taken.

Ruby: Grim, it's alright. Uncle Qrow, Grimlock and all of our kids can transform into, dinosaurs.

Qrow: *slight disbelief* Really?

Ruby: It's true. Grimlock can transform into a Tyrannosaurus rex, and Slag can-

Yang: The point is, Uncle, they were tortured, beaten and experimented on to try and turn our boys into weapons.

Qrow: I get it. Look, I'm very proud that you helped them but it was still reckless and unessecary to take them in yourself. Ruby, you're only 15.

Ruby: So? I have been taking care of Grimlock just fine.

Yang: And we all work together to raise them. We can't abandon them, they needed our help then and that job is still not done.

Qrow: *sighs* Well, I suppose there's no changing your minds, but don't expect me to be on babysitting call. I have a reputation to maintain.

Grimlock: Why sit on baby?

Ruby: *stifles laughter* No, Grim, babysitting means to take care of someone that can't take care of themselves.

Grimlock: Oh, what?

Ruby: *hard laugh* You're adorable when you act like that.

Qrow: Well, I suppose I'd better get going. Hanging out with you guys will cramp my style.

Yang: Whatever, old man. *giggles*

Slag: Ha!

Qrow: Watch it there, Firecracker.

Slag: Hahaha!

Yang: *to Slag* Oh you think that's funny do you? Well how about this?! Hyah!

       Yang starts wrestling with Slag, which is their favorite pass time together, one of the few things that makes Slag smile.

Qrow POV

Honestly, I'm glad that my girls and their team are taking care of them. If these kids were ever taken to her, I shudder to think what would happen to all of us. *takes a swig from flask*

3rd Person POV

      Elsewhere, Weiss is about meet her older sister, Winter, a strict military woman, but she is also the only member of her family that she has a positive relationship with. But now she's worried about Winter also meeting both her son's for the first time.

Weiss: *deep breath*

Swoop: Mommy? You okay?

Weiss: Yes. *Snarl cocks an eyebrow* No. Winter can be a bit standoffish, strict and even a little harsh sometimes. And while I understand her reasons for why she's like that, but her words still hurt sometimes.

Swoop: But you've got us now too. You're our Mommy. *hugs Weiss' leg*

Snarl: And we've got your back for all time.

Weiss: *smiles as a tear falls down her face* I am so lucky to have both of you and I wouldn't trade you for anything. *kneels down and hugs both boys* Mommy loves you both, so very much. *recomposes herself* Okay, let's go meet my sister.

      Weiss takes both her boys hands and they walk to the balcony and spot Winter at a table with a tea set.

Winter: Weiss. Children?

Weiss: Winter. You've already met Swoop, *Swoop waves* and this is Snarl.

Snarl: Hello.

Winter: I must ask, why are these children following you around?

Weiss: I didn't get a chance to explain before but these are my sons.

Winter: I'm sorry I must've misheard you-

Weiss: I did not stutter.

       Weiss then goes into detail about finding the Dinokids, saving them from a Grimm and the process of gaining their trust, then officially adopting them. Winter appears taken aback by her sister's brash decision, and is therefore unsure of the proper response.

Winter: Why?

Weiss: Elaborate?

Winter: Why burden yourself with children when you're not even a licensed Huntress yet. You're too young to be taking care of lab rats that need-

Weiss: *appalled* How dare you?! *stands* Don't ever talk about my sons as less than trash. They are the most precious people in my life and I will always cherish them. I thought you'd understand.

Winter: You are too young to be doing this.

Weiss: I don't care! They are my family now too, and if you can't accept that then you're the fool. Come on boys, we're done here.

       Weiss storms off, Snarl stands and after a slight growl towards Winter he goes after his brother and mother. Weiss goes back to the now empty dorm room and falls down on her bed crying, Swoop is first to clamber onto the bed and tries to snuggle into Weiss, Snarl tries to keep his emotions in check but also ends up snuggling next to Weiss while fighting back tears.

     The next day, the second round of the tournament begins, Yang and Weiss ready themselves for their bout, Weiss was still plagued by the thought of Winter not supporting her, Swoop and Snarl pick up on this and give her extra hugs for comfort. Slag is still bummed out about not participating in the fight, Yang giggles at her son's pouting and promises to make the fight interesting for him. Let's see how these two do out there.

(A/N): Finally! I am back and I will be finish this volume for sure within the next month or so. I cannot say sorry enough for leaving this alone for so long, writer's block sucks. I knew where I wanted to go, I just had trouble with getting there, but I think I figured it out. Thanks for your patience, and I'll see you next time. PEACE OUT!!!
