"Pyrrha? we're home!" Jaune cried, he turned and closed the door behind him. Lia was already skipping down the hall towards the kitchen, where Jaune could smell something familiar.

"J-Just a second!" Pyrrha's voice echoed back: Jaune had known she would be home, given that her usual session at the Huntsmen Oversight Committee meetings had been due to end early today. While Jaune knew the importance of her work, he was glad when Pyrrha got to spend some quality time with her children, especially JJ. She'd texted him that she was going to pick JJ up from Velvet, who had been babysitting him and Coco's daughter Sucre, and head on home.



aside from an utterly heartmelting picture of JJ and Sucre cuddling as they took a nap, he'd not heard anything since.

As he walked deeper into the Arc family's cozy home, a familiar scent came to his nostrils, and he smiled.

"Hey, did RUby stop by?" he asked, watching as Lia turned and disappeared into the kitchen, "It smells like her cooki-"

He paused as Lia, having disappeared from sight, suddenly backed out of the kitchen, hands pressed to her mouth and giggling uncontrollably. beyond, he could hear some of JJ's usual babbling, and His wife trying to shush their daughter.



"c'mon and look daddy!" his four-year-old giggled as she turned to her father, "Mommy made a mess!"



Almost immediately, the recollection that Ruby was still on the outer walls came back to Jaune...which could only mean one thing...

"oh no...."



Turning into the kitchen, Jaune raised an eyebrow at the sight that greeted him.

His wife stood there, dressed in some of her "relax" clothes and an apron tied about her waist. She was splattered liberally with a golden yellow goo, which was also all over the countertop, the bowls stacked nearby, the underside of the cabinets closest to him, almost obscuring the mixing machine his sister Eden had gotten him and Pyrrha as a wedding present, and all over his son, who was gleefully smushing some of the stuff into his mouth from one of the bowls.

Pyrrha smiled sheepishly at Jaune as she held a mixing bowl in one hand and a spatula in the other.

"H-Hello Jaune!" She said, her voice a stark contrast with her expression "I-I didn't expect you home this early, i was hoping-"

"You'd have time to clean up?" Jaune cut in, eliciting a fresh batch of giggles from Lia.

Pyrrha's smile didn't waver, but the skin around her eyes tightened slightly as she looked around at the mess.

"Ehe...eh...Well, I was trying to bake some of Ruby's Cookies, and I-"

"Pyrrhaaaaa...." Jaune drew out, his deadpan expression unchanging "what was the agreement after your first attempt at baking?"

"oh Jaune, this wasn't like the cake!" Pyrrha replied.
