'T-today you w-will gather wild eggs for the F-festival of Dragons." The shy Prof. Peach stated as she gave everyone a small basket.

The Festival of Dragons happened during the full moon on the tenth month of the year, and was a holiday to celebrate the day some brave heroes disguised themselves to defeat an evil dragon by sneaking on its lair. After that they grabbed the treasure the dragon hoarded and gave it to the people, so the festival combined costumes and the giving of candy. Suffice to say it was the favorite holiday for many of the students. Especially for one Ruby Rose and one Nora Valkyrie.

"I can't wait for the festival! I'll get so many cookies!"

"And Renny and I will dress up as sloths!"

"Let's get some eggs first, Nora." Ren said and the energetic girl grabbed his hand and disappeared inside the forest.

One by one the teens paired with their partners and disappeared inside the forest. The last ones to go were Jaune and Pyrrha. The girl observed his back as they walked mostly in the opposite direction from the rest of the students. She smiled a little, reminding herself that just a few days before he defeated an Ursa Major alone, without her interference, proof that their training was rewarding their persistence. And then he defeated a few Beowulfs and a small Nevermore during the Breach. Sure, he still had the lowest body count of his team and team RWBY, yet he was now a true Huntsman… in training, but to her it was more than enough reward to see how happy he was after that, and while she fully expected him to have an inflated ego, he just thanked her for everything.

That was more than enough to make her heart beat faster and for her to almost confess her feelings on spot, if the bullhead was not filled with her friends. And she lamented her cowardice. How could she, four times champion, face a horde of Grimm hellbent in killing everything in their sight not hesitate in fighting but telling to the person most important to her the feelings made her weak on her knees.

And Jaune gave all signs he cared for her, especially after wearing a dress at the dance. He would never, ever receive her confession and do anything that could hurt her feelings. Yet if he said he didn't felt the same, she feared she would break down. She wanted true, honest feelings, not pity and while Jaune would never betray her feelings, he also was too nice to just be blunt. She would rather have a rejection outright than see him trying to make them work just to say to her he didn't loved her in the end.

The thought almost made her cry.

Her mother said to her to never be the one making the move, an outdated concept that was too ingrained in her mind. Meanwhile Jaune was too oblivious about what Pyrrha thought were obvious signs of affection. Yang said to her to just say it already, but her fears, the old concept about dating her mother ingrained in her, all made her not take that one step.

"OK, here we are. Look at the base of the bushes with thorns, wild birds likes to nestle their eggs under then, but be careful to not hurt yourself." He stated with a smile and she nodded.

Having grown up in a small town close to relatively safe woods made the boy skilled in that kind of thing, even if he had his unfair amount of allergies. Pyrrha, with her city background and all her 'free' time filled with combat training didn't have as much experience. So she wasn't exactly surprised when she found a few eggs under the second bush she checked.

But her attention was all focused on her crush. She looked around, making sure they were alone. She approached him and saw his basket was already filling up and crouched by his side, seeing how easily his hands got inside the nests to get the eggs without getting hurt by the thorns. After he put the eggs on his basket he noticed Pyrrha and stared at her emerald eyes, giving her a sheepishly smile.

"S-something w-wrong?" He asked, not used with his beautiful partner's face so close. Yes, he could be dense, but he wasn't blind as how beautiful Pyrrha was.

"Nothing, just admiring your skill." She said a half truth. She was also admiring his face.

"Ah. Just something you get to learn when most kids your age don't actually want to be around you…" He admitted sadly and she almost put him on a hug, but instead just put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Eh, the past is the past, I have you now."

"J-Jaune…" She cursed him for saying such things without a care in the world, and yet those always made her becoming more trapped in her love for him. He, of course, didn't notice her pink cheeks, or that they become red as her red as he kept staring at her emerald eyes. "Jaune?"

"Something is different about you… It's not makeup… No new accessories… New shampoo?" He asked, and she nodded shyly. "Ah, I like this new one more. Wild berries?"

"Pomegranate, actually. Direct from Mistral." She confessed, blushing madly and cursing how he could notice THAT but not her feelings.

"You really should keep using this one. By the way… I was thinking… Do you wanna come to the Festival with me?" She would have dropped anything she was carrying with her, but she just stared at him. He asked her to be his d-d-d-d… "If no one else invited you already this time. I don't want you to go alone like at the dance, and I think we can have fun together."

"I'd love to go with you." She said with a big smile. She didn't care if he was asking her as a friend, but she wouldn't make the foolish mistake of saying anything else.

"Uh, first time I ask a girl and she says yes on the spot. You really are the best, Pyr." He said and she nodded, a bit sad he made it sound it was just a friend's thing. "My sisters are sending me a costume, so once I get it how about we try to find one for you that matches?"

"That would be grand." She said, trying to not jump in happiness like Ruby or Nora would.

"Perfect. Now, let's fill your basket and go back." She said as he got up, and offered his hands to help her up to. His touch was gently and caring, and had a strength Pyrrha never got used to, yet she appreciated greatly. They walked around for a few more minutes and soon they both filled their baskets.

As they walked back side by side, he commented about his past Festivals, telling of costumes, pranks, almost dying of all the sugar, and she laughed, partly to hide the fact she had no stories of her own, spending all those special day either doing promotional stunts or training. She valued those stories more than Jaune could imagine.

So focused on her partner as she was, Pyrrha got surprised when they stopped and Jaune stared at a pile of flat rocks layered under a tree. He approached it and started slowly removing the slabs of stone, while Pyrrha watched over his shoulder. Soon he grabbed what looked like a giant stone with a pill-like form, almost completely white except for some light grey stripes.

"It's a stone." She affirmed, and Jaune answered by giving it to her. It was… heavy, but not heavy enough to be a stone. "Hollow?"

"I think so. Maybe it is a geode, and when we open it, it will be a beautiful decoration for our dorm. So, should we take it with us?" he asked, and she examined the rock. If it had beautiful crystals inside, she saw no reason not to.

"Sure, Nora will love to crack it open."

"I think we will not do that on our room then. Last time she tried to crack open something Prof. Goodwitch was less than pleased." The good woman was furious and just didn't put them all in detention forever because the event revealed some students had hacked the surveillance cameras. "Here, I'll carry the stone, you carry my eggs… let's not ever say this again."

She laughed heartily but took his… basket and they returned to the meeting point.

…

"WOW THAT IS ONE BIG EGG!" Nora said as she and Ren were the last to come back. Jaune and Pyrrha actually finished first and were already graded, so they just sat under a tree and talked with the rock between them before their friends arrived.

"I think it's just a rock, Nora." Ren said, but Nora grabbed it and tossed it around.

"Nope, too light. It is an egg."

"We think it's a geode, Nora." Jaune explained.

"What is a geodude?"

"Geode, a hollow rock with crystals inside. I'm surprised you know about this, Arc." Weiss stated, and they weren't sure if that was praise or not.

"Anyway, we will let you crack it open tomorrow. And in a safe environment." Jaune stated, and Nora looked disappointed as Jaune took the rock back.

"Can we be there for when she open it?" Ruby asked with a pout, and Jaune laughed a little.

"Of course, little one." He said jokingly, but Ruby puffed her cheeks and showed him her tongue, making everyone laugh. That was when Jaune felt an impact on the back of his head, and as he touched noticed it was an egg. "Wow, so creative Cardin."

"Come on, I heard eggs were good for your hair." The tall boy said as he laughed with his team.

"Sadly this won't be good for your grades. Weiss, enlighten me, what is Cardin's average grade?" Jaune asked the heiress. He dropped the 'snow angel' thing after the dance, what she AND Pyrrha appreciated greatly, and their relationship was improving.

"C-minus, while even you have a B average." The heiress answered. She and Jaune were in friendly terms so she actually enjoyed helping him, and she, as pretty much everyone else, disliked Cardin's attitude.

"What, because of a little egg?"

"Yes, Mr. Winchester. You were supposed to bring the eggs back so we could incubate them, not destroy it. That is an F AND a visit to Ms. Goodwitch's office. AM I CLEAR?" Prof. Peach growled. The small Faunus teacher was usually calm and shy, but when angered, her tiger features allowed her to be quite intimidating.

"Yes, professor." Cardin answered. He wasn't THAT stupid after all.

…

"So, where can we open it?" Nora asked as they all prepared to sleep.

"I think the forge would be the best place. It has all kind of tools we can use. Besides, I promised Ruby half of it. It would make a nice friendship gift between our teams." Jaune said as he finished drying his hair with a towel. He grabbed the stone and put it under his bed, where it barely fitted.

"Cool! I hope its pink inside, I love pink!" Nora said as she jumped on her bed. "Or maybe purple! Or blue! Or…"

"Nora, let's go to sleep before Ms. Goodwitch comes here to remind us about the curfew." Ren sad and Nora left a sad sigh before just dropping her head on the pillow and sleeping immediately. Nobody knew how she did that.

"Ren, my brother of a different mother, what will happen during the Festival when Nora is shitfaced with candy?" Jaune asked, and Ren just stared at his eyes. The blonde boy could only see despair. "We'll help you."

"Thanks, I appreciate it." Hope filled Ren's soul. Maybe this year he wouldn't ended up meddling with international spies or an old order trying to bring the apocalypse. The long haired boy was the next to hit the bed.

"Goodnight, Pyr. Tomorrow we talk about the costumes." Jaune whispered as he fixed himself on his bed. For reasons unknown (Nora), his bed was next to his partner.

"That would be lovely, Jaune. Sleep well."

…

"Jaune…" The boy pried his eyes open slowly, seeing two emerald orbs fixing on his.

"Pyr?"

"I… I had a nightmare…" It was true, and it involved a certain blonde boy in a pool of his own blood. Her eyes were shining under the faint moonlight coming from the windows, and he knew she cried a little. Usually he would never dream of doing that, but he just moved back a little and raised his duvet, allowing her in. Pyrrha quickly snuggled on his chest and closed her eyes. "Thank you."

"Anytime." He answered and closed his eyes, the smell of pomegranate making him relax.

Under his bed, a rosy light pulsed.

…

Pyrrha couldn't remember the last time she felt so energized by sleep. It was like every single bit of worry was removed and she was recharged. She slowly opened her eyes and blushed a little as she saw Jaune's face so close to hers. The few sun rays shining on his face making his golden hair glow. She cupped his cheek with one hand and wondered if she should be so bold as to give him a kiss.

Might as well take the chance to give him my first kiss.

She moved to do it, her heart almost stopping.

Then she heard a loud growl like those of a wild creature.

She felt something was nested between her and Jaune and looked up the duvet.

Pyrrha had a hard time deciding if she should faint or not.

Atop them was a small girl, no more than ten years old, completely naked, curled like a small ball. She had incredible shiny platinum hair, as straight as white gold strings and a beautiful copper skin. But that wasn't her most distinctive features. She had three crystal-like horns that curved to the back of her head, a pair of white wings like those of a bat, but ending with rosy edges. Her hands and feet where covered in white scaled and had short claws. If she was a Faunus, Pyrrha never saw one like this.

Oh, and she was completely naked.

"Jaune…" She said in a whisper shaking him. His reaction was to hug her, tightly, and while in any other occasion that would be more than enough for Pyrrha to become a mumbling mess, now she had more pressing matters. "Jaune!"

"Five more minutes… Pyr? Wait… Sorry!" he said as he jumped back after seeing what was happening, falling in the ground with a loud thud. The dragon-girl stretched over the sound, revealing she also had a long, thin tail covered in white scales and ending in a blade-like rosy tip. Jaune finally noticed her. "Pyr, who's she?"

"I was hoping you would answer this one." The Spartan answered, cursing their weapons was stored in their lockers and they couldn't summon them here… Unless they wanted a sunroof and the wrath of Goodwitch. The girl rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands, and if she wasn't completely naked, it would be incredible cute. She opened her big round eyes, one blue and another green, with vertical slit pupils. She blinked and yawned showing her canines where slightly longer and sharper than most people.

"Mommy, daddy?" She asked with a sweet voice, staring at Jaune and Pyrrha. The two teens stared at her and them at each other.

"Mommy/daddy?" They asked at the same time as Jaune approached and sat on his bed by Pyrrha's side.

"Mommy! Daddy!" She sang and jumped on them, hugging the duo with great strength and giggling. It was loud enough to wake up Nora.

"It's morning, it's MORNING, IT'S… MORNING! Time to crack the rock! Who's she? Why she is naked? Awww, it cracked already." She said as she stared the ground and saw the fragments, white outside and rosy inside. "Oh, but so pretty! Wait… IT WAS AN EGG! I KNEW IT!"

"Nora, stop screaming because you might…" Ren stood, saw Jaune and Pyrrha being hugged by a naked dragon-girl, Nora messing with egg shells, and decided it was too early for that shit, so he just got back to sleep.

"OK, let's calm down… Who are you?" Jaune asked the girl and she left the hug, sitting in a lotus position on the bed. Jaune thanked her hair and arms covered the most sensitive parts.

"Silly daddy, I'm your daughter! You and mommy hatched me!" She explained as if it was the most logical thing.

"We did?" Pyrrha asked, still not believing the girl was calling them their parents… and kind of liking it.

"Yep. I could feel the tender, honest love mommy and daddy have for each other and that helped me hatch!" She stated and Jaune and Pyrrha blushed and could stare at each other's face. "So, what's my name?"

"Your name?" Jaune questioned.

"Yeah! It isn't the job of the parents to name their children?" She asked, and then gave the biggest puppy… kitten… dragon child eyes she could.

"Pyrrha, she's a girl, so how about you name her?"

"But… she is our oldest!"

"You two realize you aren't a married couple, right?" Nora asked as she petted the dragon-girl, and that made the two teens blush.

"W-w-ha-t a-about Tia?" Jaune suggested, remembering some old dragon name of legends.

"That sounds lovely. What do you say?" Pyrrha said eyeing the dragon-girl.

"Tia… I love it!" She jumped and hugged them, laughing happily. That was when someone furiously knocked on the door, and Before Jaune could stop her, Nora opened. An angry and still in her PJs' Weiss stood there.

"What is this ruckus so early in the morning?! Can't…" Weiss saw the scene currently unfolding and closed the door. Then knocked again and Nora opened. "What is this ruckus so early in the morning?! Can't…" Rinse, Repeat. "What is this ruckus so early in the morning?! Can't…"

"OH STOP IT! YES, THERE'S A NAKED DRAGON-GIRL ON THEIR BED! IT'S JAUNE AND PYRRHA'S BABY GIRL!" Nora finally ran out of patience and dragged Weiss inside. It didn't take long for the rest of team RWBY to enter.

"Who's she?"

"Why she's naked?"

"Why no one is clothing her?" Blake asked the most sensible question.

…

Tia happily sat on Jaune's lap as he combed her hair. Growing up with seven sisters allowed him to learn some tricks to calm young girls down. Pyrrha transformed an old shirt of his into a nice little dress, using some thin silk cords as a belt around Tia's waist. They all got the fragments of her egg together (with promises everyone would have a piece) and explained what happened. Ren was still in denial and pretending nothing was actually happening.

"An egg? It was actually an egg? An egg of a dragon-girl that believes Jaune and Pyrrha are her parents?" Weiss said with disbelief clear in her voice.

"That resumes it, yes." Jaune nodded, as he made some braids on Tia's hair.

"Birds tend to imprint in the first thing they see as their parents. Maybe that is the case here." Blake deadpanned, but her head already had so many situations that would be great in her next fanfiction. Except in hers there would be ninjas.

"So, is Tia really their child?"

"Yes! Daddy and mommy love birthed Tia!" The girl said with no small pride.

"My head hurts." Weiss stated simply.

"What you two plan to do?" Blake asked as her eyes followed the red tip of the little girl's tail and she fought her instincts to paw at it.

"Well, we can't just send her away. It wouldn't be fair to our little Tia." Jaune said already in a parental tone as he finished braiding her hair. "So I'll see what my family thinks."

"Jaune's right, this is not her fault. It was us who brought her here, maybe away from her real family." Pyrrha agreed, and Tia tugged her sleeve.

"But mommy, am I not your real daughter?" The eyes, the big teary eyes!

"Yes you are!" Pyrrha answered as she hugged the dragon-girl, and Tia spread her beautiful big wing enveloping the trio.

"Yeah!"

Knocks on the door and once again Nora was too fast to open it. Standing furiously outside was their favorite teacher, Glynda Goodwitch (actually, Jaune's favorite, but he would never say that aloud).

"What is all this fuzz about?" She saw Tia with her wings spread and was about to close the door but Nora didn't let her.

"We're NOT doing this joke again!"

…

Ozpin saw many things in his life. Beautiful things, horrible things, mysterious things. He learned long ago to expect the unexpected. But hearing Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos explaining how they found themselves in the parenthood club while a beautiful, cute dragon-girl sat in her recently christened 'auntie Glyn's lap (to Glynda's delight, but she would never say that aloud) was so far from unexpected and bordering the plans of a crazy old god trying to drive him insane. And he was the headmaster of an academy with people sporting animal ears and small girls firing death scythe-rifles around while fighting soulless monsters. He did the only reasonable thing he could.

He sipped his coffee.

"So, Mr. Arc, Ms. Nikos, what do you plan to do right now?"

"Well, I think I should call home, tell my parents and sisters about this. Mica has books about everything, so I'm sure she will find some information, or maybe they will take Tia in and keep her safe." Jaune suggested.

"But daddy, I want to be with you and mommy!" Tia said and Jaune smiled at her.

"I know, sweetheart, but mom and dad have school to attend and monsters to fight and I'd rather have you with my own parents, safe from any danger."

"Mommy, tell dad to let me stay!" She begged, and Pyrrha couldn't resist her blue and green eyes.

"Maybe she could study with us? I mean, she is a grown girl already, not a baby."

"She's an unknown species with unknown abilities. I don't think it's as easy to take care of her as you two believe." Glynda chimed in.

"And there's the Festival coming, and I know your family take the festival seriously, Mr. Arc." Jaune groaned as of course the headmaster was right. His family was very dedicated to that one festival. "You can always count on Ms. Goodwitch to help rising your daughter."

"Headmaster!" Glynda chastised him, and Ozpin answered by sipping his coffee. That was the most entertaining event he had since he sent the students flying on Initiation day.

"Sir, I don't want to impose on Ms. Goodwitch. She already has too much to deal with." Glynda nodded and appreciated Jaune's concern. Beacon was understaffed and Ozpin, Oobleck and Port weren't exactly helpful.

"Auntie Glyn, does that mean I won't be able to play with you?" Tia asked innocently.

"Of course you will, darling. But remember I have certain responsibilities." Glynda explained in an unusual caring tone.

"So can I stay with daddy and mommy? I mean, you're great and all auntie Glyn, but they're my daddy and mommy." Tia explained and received a sweet smile from Glynda. Jaune and Pyrrha were blushing hard at the idea of raising a daughter together.

"I'll contact your family, Mr. Arc. I'm also going to find someone that might have some expertise in your situation. Meanwhile, I'm allowing Tia to be with you two at all times until further notice, as I believe you two as her guardians will keep her from harm and from harming someone else. And Mr. Arc, I expect you to not let this little event affect your grades. You have being improving and I hope you keep it up." Ozpin stated as a matter of fact. Jaune sighed and nodded, but Pyrrha was resetting her brain as trying to process the idea of her being a mother and having such strong link with the most important person in her whole life.

They all were taken from her thoughts when a loudly, beastly growl was heard, and they all turned to a blushing Tia.

"Sorry, I'm hungry." She said with her hands on her stomach. Jaune and Pyrrha smiled and got up, offering their hands to the girl, and Tia happily grabbed them.

"Can we go to the cafeteria to feed her?" Jaune asked, and Ozpin assented.

"I'll call you three if anything comes by." With that the happy family got out to feed the dragon-girl.

"Sir, is this wise?" Glynda asked as the door locked behind them.

"I believe this is for the best, Glynda."

"If I discover you're doing this for your own amusement again I'll be very displeased, sir." Glynda threatened. Ozpin sipped his coffee again.

"Of course not, Glynda." He was doing it for shitloads of amusement.

…

"OK, you eat your food; mom and dad will grab our breakfast and come back soon, OK?" Pyrrha said and Tia nodded as she stood before the biggest pile of bacon, sausages and eggs ever. As Jaune and Pyrrha walked away to grab their own food, she started eating happily and messily. Apparently the staff was informed of her presence… or was too scared to deny the girl food or approach her. The students all stared in surprise, but none had the courage to approach the small yet different girl. She sang as she ate with delight, while the rest of the students wondered who the hell she was and how she could eat so much.

"Hey, Cardin, look at this one!" Sky called his team leader as team CRDL apparently was too stupid to keep away from a dragon-girl and her food.

"What we have here? Man, those Faunus freaks got weirder every year!" Cardin said as he stared down Tia. The girl just ignored them and kept eating.

"And she is a kid? Hey freak, did your parents abandon you here?" Russell asked and finally got the attention of the little girl.

"No, daddy and mommy are getting food, and my aunties are probably preparing for class. They are talking about their costumes for the Festival." She explained as she gulped another egg. And yes, she thought Ren was a girl too.

"Animals like you shouldn't be left to walk around without a leash!" Cardin snarled but Tia tilted her head.

"I'm no animal, I'm a dragon." She spoke simply, and the boys laughed again.

"And I'm a newt!" Russell answered with a laugh.

"Awww, and now you are a human. Don't worry, you'll get better." She answered, and Russell stared down at her.

"You little brat!" He grabbed one of her horns. She was about to say something but instead she burped… and let out a breath of fire, igniting Russell's Mohawk. The boy stared up, took a second to assess the situation and proceeded as expected. Running and yelling he was on fire, wishing to not be on fire. Dove and Sky rushed after him to try to extinguish the fire.

"You little freak!" Cardin yelled and was about to hurt Tia with a punch but Jaune held his arm.

"Do not touch my daughter or you will wish I left you to that Ursa!" He threatened the taller boy and Cardin pushed him away.

"This little monster is your daughter? Who's the mother, a gecko?" Cardin tried to laugh but Pyrrha looked at him killer intent on her eyes.

"I'm the mother. Do you have the audacity to say something about that to me, Winchester?" Pyrrha growled as she hugged Tia protectively from the back.

"Wait, you and Jaune boy? When, how and… how?" Cardin asked as he stared at the clearly too old and too dragon to be their daughter girl.

"It doesn't matter. You won't touch her. Or we will castrate you in the most painful way possible." Pyrrha growled in an unusual display of anger. Cardin was about to answer when Tia burped again and put his hair on fire. He did the standard procedure of running around and yelling while Jaune chastised the young girl.

"Tia, it is not nice to burp at the table."

"Sorry daddy."

"And do not go anywhere without us or one of your aunties, OK? Oh, and don't talk with strangers." Pyrrha said in a motherly nature while cleaning her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Sorry mommy. I promise I'll be a nice girl." That was too much for Pyrrha and she hugged her little girl.

"While this is a heartwarming scene, let's go eat breakfast and go to Oobleck's class. I would rather not be late." Weiss said as she approached the table, doing her best to ignore the two members of team CRDL on fire.

"You mean the family reunion or seen Cardin on fire?" Blake wondered as Sky used an extinguisher.

"Both."
