-Raven Pov-

I smile when I wake up one morning, and then I look around the house. A small smile is on my face when I see (y/n) sitting there, reading a book to Yang. She had been born recently, and then I smiled a little more at this, and then I sat up all the way. When I had found out the two of us were going to be parents,  I hadn't been as scared for this as I had thought I was going to be. Looking around, I smile more and more when I see the life the two of us have built together, this house, this family and all of it.

Rolling out of bed, I then walk over to (y/n), and then both he and Yang look at me, and smile. Yang points at me, and then I sit down next to the two of them, and wrap an arm around (y/n) to pull him closer to me. " M-m-mama," Yang stutters out when she points to me, and then both me and (y/n) widen our eyes with shock. These were her first words, and then all of us smile happily. Yang giggles when she sees the smiles on our faces, and then Yang slowly walks over to me and then hugs my leg. I smile when she does this, and then I pick her up to look at her.

" That's right. I'm your mommy," I confirm for her, and then she giggles at this. The people closest to me all know about my softer side, and every time I see Yang, so innocent and full of life, she makes it through my defenses right away, and I let her see me like this. Looking at Yang, I see how much she got from me and (y/n). She looks just like I did when I was a baby, but she has (y/n)'s eyes, and his joy for going through life.

Planting a kiss on Yang's forehead, I then lean my head on (y/n)'s shoulder. He smiles and then drapes an arm around me to pull me closer, and then I smile even more. " Qrow wanted to meet with me today," I tell (y/n), and then he nods. " Do you think you'll be okay with Yang on your own today?" He nods and then kisses me and then Yang, and then I smile. After I spend the morning with them, I then open a portal to Qrow.

He's at a bar as always, and then I roll my eyes a little and walk over to him. " The tribe reached out to me today, telling me to find you," he says, and then I sit down confused by this. The tribe hadn't reached out to us in years. " They need one of us to go back to being the leader. I'm just here to tell you to be careful. If we don't go back, they're going to try to hurt us where it hurts the most. And in your case? That means Yang."

Qrow then leaves after this, and then I sit in the bar confused. The tribe hadn't reached out to us in years. Both of us had expected them to reach out as soon as we graduated. Why would they wait until the both of us were married to ask us? And then it hit me, this was a test for our relationship. They wanted to see if we would choose the people who had raised us and taught us everything , or we would choose the new families we had made for ourselves.

I sat there in the bar, confused by this, wondering what to do with this. If I go back to the tribe, then I won't have a chance to be with my husband and my child. But, if I don't go with the tribe, then they are going to keep attacking me, Yang and (y/n). (y/n) and I can take care of each other and ourselves, but we're not going to be able to protect Yang from them forever. And so, I know what I'm going to have to do if I want to keep the ones I love safe.

When I make this choice, several years drip from my eyes. There was a time when my plan had been to just go to Beacon, and then back to the tribe. But that had been before I had been loved, held and cherished. Before a beautiful little girl had looked up and called me her mother. This isn't what I wanted, and it hadn't been for some time. The thought of that makes me sniffle a little bit, and then I force myself to compose myself, forcing myself to go into the part of me which can only think of things logically.

I have about a week at most before the tribe will demand for one of us to go back and lead it. that means I have a week to brace myself for this, and see if I think of anything I can do to get out of this. It also means I have a week to get ready to say my goodbyes, which is more than most people get. As I think of all of this, I think of one more thing I'm going to need to do before I can even think of leaving to the tribe, which is make sure (y/n) and Yang are taken care of in my absence.

Opening a portal, I step through to see Summer eating cookies and cream ice cream on the couch, looking sad. I sigh when I see this, knowing how she had feelings for (y/n), and had never managed to truly get over him. She looks up at me, and then tries for a flimsy smile. " Hey Raven," she says in a shaky voice. " What are you doing here?"

I gulp back the lump in my throat, and then I look at her. There's no easy way to say what's next, but I know I have to. " If anything ever happens to me....take care of them," is all I manage to say in the end, which leaves her even more confused than before. I find myself on the verge of tears, and then I open another portal quickly to (y/n), who's holding Yang.

The two of them look over to me, and then I run and hug (y/n) tight, some tears starting to escape me. " Don't ask me anything, just hold me," I tell him, and then he nods and wraps his arms around me. Yang adorably reaches to brush the tears out of my eyes, and then I manage a soft smile, promising myself to make the most of this week before I have to go.

( let me know what you thought)
