#jaune x Emerald

[arc-misadventures]

Hi, been reading your stories for some time now, could you do another episode of "The Beach" with Nora or Emerald. Thanks.

The Beach: E

Jaune: Haaa… What is this place: Kink Beach?!

Jaune: Everywhere I go, people tell me their kinks, and how they want me to reenact it with them. What the hell man?

Jaune: …

Jaune: Although… Why am I running…? There’s nothing wrong if I…?!

: Hey, Jaune!

Jaune: Whaa-AHHH?!

: …?!

Jaune: Wha… who… oh… Hey, Emerald. Ohhh… Oh damn…

Jaune: L-Looking good, Emerald.

Emerald: Oh, thanks, Jaune! Yeah, whits the best colour on me, really makes my skin ‘pop out.’

Jaune: It does… But, don’t you think it’s a little too… revealing…?

Emerald: No, I’m completely covered up.

Jaune: Mostly…

Emerald: So what is this I head about, Kink Beach?

Jaune: Oh, I’m just loosing my mind. Every girl I’ve run into here has been telling me all about their sexual fantasies. So, I said: ‘What is this place, Kink Beach?’ Hahaha!

Emerald: It is.

Jaune: Haha…?!

Jaune: Beg pardon?

Emerald: The beach we’re at, it’s called, ‘Kink Beach.’

Jaune: …

Jaune: Why…?

Emerald: Well, it’s because every girl there tells the guy they like their sexual fantasies. No one knows why, they just do. So, the beach was named, ‘Kink Beach.’

Jaune: …

Jaune: Okay… I’ve been trapped in lala loopy land for decades that will literally drive you insane with all the random nonsense that happens every five minutes! But, despite of all the messed up, and crazy shit I experienced there, this, this is what I call bullshit on!

Emerald: That’s fair. But, how else would I explain to you that I like white dudes, and I want them to paint me white.

Jaune: …

Emerald: Specifically it’s you who I like, and want to paint my skin white~!

Jaune: Okay… ?

Emerald: So you’ll do it?!

Jaune: W-Wait! Hold on?!

Emerald: You’ll give me a pearl necklace!

Jaune: That’s now what I…?!

Emerald: Paint my backside?!

Jaune: Okay, stop!

Emerald: You’ll do me until I’m covered, and leaking your white spunk from every hole~?!

Jaune: …

Emerald: You’ll do all of that, and more, won’t you?!

Jaune: …

Emerald: Won’t you, please~?

Jaune: …

Emerald: Please, Daddy~?

Jaune: …

Jaune: Oh look a distraction!

Emerald: A distraction? Where?

Emerald: I don’t see…?!

Emerald: Hey, come back here!

Jaune: Never…!

Emerald: Ohhh… Shit!

[rachetmath]

Urge and Curiousity

Jaune: Um. Guys?

Ren: What's up Jaune?

Jaune: Remember that mission with that Grimm we just finished?

Oscar: Yeah, why?

Jaune: I just researched it and… we need to contain the girls.

Ren: Again, why?

Jaune: Yeah, this Grimm sprayed something on the girls which starts to affect their minds. This could cause them to behave differently than normal. Basically unleashing-

Ruby: Oscar~

Nora: Ren~

Jaune: Oh shit it's too late.

Oscar: Too late? What do you mean by “too late”?

Ren: Jaune what’s going -

Jaune: *already out and barricading the door* 

Oscar: Jaune. Jaune, open the door.

Jaune: Sorry fellas but… … this needs to be done. 

Ren: Jaune quit horsing around, let us out.

Jaune: Not until it's over. 

Oscar: Til what's over?

Jaune: Well the Grimm spray started influencing the girls to unleash their … urges.

Oscar: Okay -

Jaune: Sexual urges.

Ren and Oscar: *terrified*

Ren: Jaune, open the door.

Jaune: *silent and walks away* 

Ren: Jaune. Jaune! Jaune, you open this door! Jaune!! Jaune I swear if- I swear you will pay! Jaune!!!

After long sexual intense hours.

Nora: Phew I feel better.

Ruby: Oh my brothers, Oscar, I am sorry.

Ren: *down*

Oscar: *shock*

Jaune: *returns* Well guys, it seems you enjoyed yourselves.

Ren: Jaune.

Jaune: What's up Ren?

Ren: Fuck you.

Jaune: Damn sorry man I had to.

Ren: I hope you get it worse.

Yang: Well look who finally shows up.

Jaune: Yang, hey how's it- *trapped by a glyph* going? 

Weiss: *appears*

Jaune: Oh crap they are still-

Emerald: Oh no, we’re good. We’re just curious.

Weiss: *blushes*

Jaune: Huh.

Yang: Alright. Pants him. 

Blake: *removes his belt, pants and draws*

Jaune: *sword drops* Hey what the hell?!

Blake: Damn.

Weiss: Oh my God. 

Yang: Okay~ Blake.

Blake: Already done. She was right.

Yang: Alright Emerald you were right. He got it~ 

Emerald: I never miss the details. I told you he was packing. 

Yang: Mm-hmm~ In the front.

Blake: And the back. *Slaps Jaune ass* 

Jaune: Hey!

Weiss: Indeed. Emerald, how much do we owe you?

Emerald: *laughs* I don't want money. *Serious* I want first dibs. 

Weiss: What?!

Yang: Now hold on!

Emerald: No. No. I called it. I've seen it. I get first dibs.

Weiss: Excuse me but I was his first crush. Therefore I get the first try.

Yang: He is the brother to my sister therefore my husband so I get first dibs automatically.

Blake: I mean I slapped his ass before any of you so…

Yang: And since Blake is my girlfriend again I got dibs. Well second.

Weiss: Bull****!

Blake: Ladies. Ladies!

WEY: … …

Blake: We’ll draw straws to see who goes first. Besides, we got hours to deal with our favorite knight.

Jaune: Wh- what?

Yang: Okay. Come on. 

Jaune: Oh, no. *being carried out* 

Ren: Justice. 

Jaune: Ren.Oscar. Help me!

Ren: Oscar you heard something.

Oscar: … … …

Ren: Neither did I.

Jaune: *screams* 

After hours of rough sex.

Jaune: *unable to move*.

Ren: How does it feel now bitch?

Jaune: Damn it.

Oscar: … … 

Jaune: Is he-

Ren: He's breathing. I think.

Jaune: Have you checked?!

Ren: Hang on. *checks Oascar pulse* He’s breathing.

Jaune: Oh thank you.

[juanarc-thethird]

I think Emerald could work for a "I promise we are just going to cuddle" story

We're just going to cuddle, I promise. (Emerald)

Jaune: *Sleeping*

Emerald: Hey Jaune...

Jaune: *Still sleeping*

Emerald: Jaaaaaune...

Jaune: *Still in dreamland*

Emerald: Jaune!

Jaune: *Jumps in place* What?! What happen?!

Emerald: Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up like that.

Jaune wanted to get angry but notices that Emerald looks trouble.

Jaune: It's ok, but why did you wake me up?

Emerald: I had a bad dream.

Jaune: A bad dream? About what?

Emerald: I'd rather not talk about it. But I want to ask you a favor.

Jaune: Oh, what is it?

Emerald: Could I sleep with you? Just for today! If you do not mind. I don't want to sleep alone.

Jaune: Um… I'd like to help you but I don't think it's a good idea. Why don't you ask Nora or Ruby? I think they would be willing to share their bed with you. I mean, a guy and a girl sharing a bed is... well.

Emerald: I understand you, and believe me, I would ask one of them if I could. But the only person I can trust right now is you.

Jaune thinks for a moment.

Jaune: *Sighs* Ok, fine, you can sleep in my bed.

He lifts the covers and Emerald enters. After she covers herself, Jaune turns around. Turning his back on her.

Jaune: Goodnight.

Emerald: Um… Jaune?

Jaune: Hm?

Emerald: Is it possible that you can hug me while we sleep?

Jaune: I'm sorry?

Emerald: We're just going to cuddle, I promise! But it would help me a lot.

Jaune:...

Emerald: Please...

Jaune turns around and hugs Emerald. She is surprised for a few seconds, but then she returns the hug.

Jaune: Don't tell anyone we did this.

Emerald: I will.

Jaune: Good.

Emerald: And Jaune...

Jaune: Yes?

Emerald: Would it be okay if I ask you one more thing?

Jaune: Just say it, at this point I don't think it's any more embarrassing than this.

Emerald: Well...

10 minutes later...

*PLAT!💕PLAT!💕PLAT!💕PLAT!💕PLAT!💕PLAT!💕*

Emerald is lying face down biting the pillow hard. Jaune is on top of her, fucking her while he bounces on her big ass.

Emerald: Fuck~!💕 God, you're so deep~!!💕 Don't stop!!

Jaune: Oh fuck!~💕 Your pussy feels so good~

Jaune puts his hands on Emerald's back for better balance and begins to fucks her hard.

Emerald: OH FUCK!!!~💕 (I pretended to have a nightmare so I could get in his pants, but at this rate I'll become addicted to his cock!!💕) OH GOD!!~💕

Jaune: Fuck!💕 Emerald, I'm about to cum!

Emerald: (*Gasp!* I need to stop him!) Yes, cum inside me!!💕 Fill me up!!💕 (NO! That's not what I wanted to say! If he cums inside I will surely become addicted!)

Jaune: Oh God!! I'm... I'm cumming!!!

*SPLURT!~*

Emerald: YEEESSSSS!!!💕 (NOOOOO!!)

[waltat04-kevinknight]

Jaune: Hey Emerald, how's it going

Emerald: Eh, not bad still not used to the Vacuo sand though

Jaune: you could say that again.

Emerald: ...

Jaune: ...

Emerald: Wanna fuck?

Jaune: Let's go, but fair warning I've haven't had a female touch in years

A few moments later, Emerald was pinning to a bed with her ass in the air and her face against the bed hugging a pillow with her arms.

Emerald: Fuckkkkkkk~! Use that ass baby~! Shit you're being too roug-h~!

Jaune: I warned you didn't I? Now slam that thick chocolate ass on this dick move and prove you truly are worthy of the Arc rod!

Emerald moans as she matches his thrusts by slamming her plump ass against his dick causing her ass to ripple.

[bdk1902]

Emerald: My ass is better!

Blake: No! Mine is!

Jaune walks in, staring at them fighting.

Jaune: why are they fighting?

Yang: They’re comparing which ass is better. Obviously, I’m on Blake’s.

Ruby: But Em has more bounce to it.

Weiss: This is such childish behavior.

Yang: Is it because you have no curves on both sides?

Weiss: Shush!!

Jaune: Ladies. Ladies. I know how to handle this. *Jaune walks up to the bootiful beauties*

Emerald: And another thing! Y-Jaune what are you doing?

Blake: Please stay out of this.

Jaune grabbed both of their hands, and guide them to his butt, make them squeeze each cheek, and left with just one sentence.

Jaune: I win.

That left many girls speechless, including Blake and Emerald who just felt like they have touched the Holy Grail.

Emerald/Blake: Dibs on sleeping with him! No! I said it first! Race you to there! Jinx! Double Jinx! *both dash to where Jaune headed*

Yang: …What the fuck just happened?

[bdk1902]

Jaune hear a hiss near his left ear, he turned and there’s no one. Confused, thought he heard something. And then there’s another hiss near his right. He turned again. Nothing. But that’s when he felt something wrapping around his legs. Oh crap. Then he met Emerald’s eyes and her long tongue slithering out.

SnakeFaunus!Emerald: Oh honey~. It’ssss time for ssssex~.

Jaune: oh fuck me.

Emerald: That’ssss the plan~.

Jaune: *Reading a book on humans dating faunus*

Jaune: Shattered pelvis... Extreme dehydration... litters...

Jaune: Is it really worth it?

(Imagine your Jaune OTP, faunus edition)

[superiorsturgeon]

Pyrrha: Okay…! My first mission back in the field! Meet me tonight at my house so we can go over the details. Jaune is working late so I have to put my son to bed.

Emerald: All right! The Invincible Girl rides again! It’s about time!

Later, at Arkos house…

Pyrrha: *singing a silly lullaby to Jamie Nikos-Arc, who is clutching a little stuffed bunny* 🥰

Oscar: Aww…!

Emerald: …Oscar, we have to keep Pyrrha away from this mission!

Oscar: What? But earlier you said-

Emerald: I know, I know…! But it just sank in that Pyrrha has a kid! I grew up without parents, and it sucks! I don’t want to see the same thing happen to Jamie! 😫

Oscar: …I mean, he would still have a dad- 🤔

Emerald: Come on! We’ve got to finish this mission quickly before Pyrrha is in danger!

———————————————————

Pyrrha: *corners Emerald* What are you doing trying to cut me out of the mission, Emerald?

Emerald: I was just, uh…? 😅

Pyrrha: *steps close and looms over Emerald* Who am I? 😠

Emerald: The…the Invincible Girl…

Pyrrha: And what does the Invincible Girl do?! 😠

Emerald: Takes every precaution to ensure her safety…? 😅

Pyrrha: WHAT DOES THE INVINCIBLE GIRL DO?! 👿

Emerald: …takes bad guys down and bad girls to bed…

Pyrrha: That’s right! Except now the Invincible Girl is happily married to a wonderful man and too tired for sex, so her main indulgence is full-fat yogurt parfait! 😤

———————————————————

Glynda: So how did Miss Nikos do on her first mission back?

Earlier…

Pyrrha: *strangling three bad guys at once, one headlocked under each arm and a third under her boot* I left one for you guys! 😁

Emerald/Oscar: *holding the last terrified bad guy at gunpoint* 😦

———————————————————

Emerald: Pyrrha, I just want you to know that I’m not scared for you anymore… 😔

Emerald: …OF you, a lot…! 😰

Pyrrha: Aw, thanks Emerald! 😊

Art Exhibit

Emerald: Hey, Jaune! Glad you made it. I was starting to think you wouldn't make it…

Jaune: And, forget about my date with you? Perish the thought.

Emerald: So, where are we're going to an art gallery right.

Jaune: Yep, that's the plan.

Emerald: I've never gone to a gallery before, so where are we going to?

Jaune: …

Emerald: …?

Jaune: …

Emerald: Jaune…? Jaune!

Jaune: Hmm, what?

Emerald: You said we were going to an art exhibit; wouldn't we get going?

Jaune: We could, by I don't really want to go now, not when there's already a masterpiece right in front of me~!

Emerald:

Emerald: What are you…

Emerald: ...?!

Emerald: T-That's not fair!

Jaune: Neither are you love. Neither are you~!

///

I know she doesn't look like, Emerald, but finding a dark skined girl with mint coloured hair, with red eyes isn't easy.

You could also say that, Emerald likes to change her looks as an excuse.

[rachetmath]

Emerald: Ruby? Weiss? May I talk to both of you for one minute?

Ruby: Emerald? You want to talk?

Emerald: Yes.

Weiss: With us?

Emerald: Yes. Do you both have the time or not?

Weiss: Um… sure.

Ruby: This is rare so I am curious about how this conversation will go.

Emerald: Okay, good. Now, if you don’t feel comfortable, we can drop this. Alright?

Ruby: Okay.

Weiss: Absolutely.

Emerald: Good. So… which one of you is going to give it up to Jaune?

Weiss: WHAT THE-

Ruby: WHEN DID WE GET TO THIS POINT?! WHEN?!

Emerald: I’m just saying. When are any of you going to give the man something for his efforts?

Weiss: There is no way this is happening. Especially not from you.

Ruby: *looks around*

Emerald: Ruby what are you doing?

Ruby: Checking for cameras and microphones at the very least. But mainly to see if Nora or Blake are hiding anywhere. This is something straight out of their book. 

Emerald: Look, I’m just asking a simple question. Now Ruby I understand considering-

Ruby: No. Stop.

Emerald: I mean-

Ruby: Shut up.

Emerald: Fine. But you Weiss, I don’t understand.

Weiss: Alright look. I somewhat am impressed with Jaune, but I don’t like him like that. We’re just friends.

Ruby: Yeah and so are we!

Emerald: So after everything he’s done for both of you, you don’t think of him as anything other than a friend?

Ruby and Weiss: Yes.

Emerald: Even though he helps both of you. Saves both of you. And kept both your sisters alive.

Ruby: Um…

Weiss: I mean… yeah.

Emerald: Mhmm. Disappointing.

Ruby: Excuse me?

Emerald: I’m just saying I met no one besides Hazel and Mercury who would go that far for me. If I were you girls I try to keep that around.

Weiss: What are you trying to say?

Me: Cinder and Neo may have had a point. You two don’t deserve shit. Ungrateful bitches.

Weiss: Look, Emerald, Ruby and I care about Jaune. Plus, you make it sound like we don’t stand a chance now to get with him.

Emerald: Because you don’t. Especially when you had Jessica ahead of you both.  And she’s not from this universe.

Ruby: How do you know about Jessica?

Emerald: Jaune told me and he didn’t skip the details. 

Ruby: … … um…

Emerald: And he’s older now.

Weiss: But not as mature.

Emerald: How so? I mean, he cares about others. And he’s responsible. How does that not count as being mature?

Weiss: Well he yelled at Ruby.

Emerald: Did he have a reason?

Ruby: He was always angry and frustrated.

Emerald: Again did he have a reason?

Ruby and Weiss: Yes.

Emerald: Okay, look, if you girls don’t want him fine. Just don’t be mad when another woman decides to claim him. 

Ruby: Pfft like who?

Emerald: I don’t know. Maybe just any girl willing to put up with him. Help him. And unlike Pyrrha would take any opportunity to seal the deal. Maybe Winter. Elm. Me. Harriet. Possibly any one better.

Ruby: Hold on what you say.

Emerald: I said what I said.

Weiss: Emerald, you are no older than us. 

Emerald: I mean I can wait and if it doesn’t work out I’ll find someone new. But again… what about you Schnee cause I believe your chances are slim.

Weiss: What? 

Emerald: Because you are basic.

Weiss: Basic? Oh, I will show you ‘basic’.

Ruby: No, Weiss. Calm down. No.

Weiss: Let me go, Ruby. 

Emerald: Well I am going to take my leave. Later losers.

Weiss: I KILL YOU!!

[brokentrafficknight]

Emerald: So~! What brings you to me?

Jaune: I was hoping you could help me with something.

Emerald: *Stepping closer and smiling as Jaune cups her chin* And that would be~?

Jaune: I want to learn to climb the way you do.

Emerald:*Pulling away, clearly annoyed* Oh!

[juanarc-thethird]

Surprised this hasn't been done yet. Valentine's Card with Emerald. Big Booty Thief.

Valentine's Day letters. (Emerald)

Jaune: Huh… I didn't think Emerald made Valentine's Day letters. It doesn't seem like her style.

He opens the letter and says:

"I used to be a thief, I no longer do crime. But I would steal from you, just like you did with my heart."

Jaune: *Red* Damn, she's good.

[jaune-submissive-and-breedable]

Pyrrha and Jaune help out Emerald a lot during her pregnancy so they’re the first to get to see the baby.

Pyrrha instantly notices the baby has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Jaune starts sweating bullets but Emerald just grins thinking back to that night 9 months ago

Emerald smiled as she watched one of her guests, Pyrrha, play with her daughter. The tiny girl giggling and cooing as she made on of her toys fly around. Her other guest, Jaune, sat with her at the table, motionless like a statue as he watched his wife. Sweat pouring down his face

"Hey, Emerald.." Pyrrha called out, "can I ask you a question?"

The former thief smiled, "By all means" she replied, her gaze transfixed on the blonde across from her.

"I couldn't help but notice, little Esmeralda here has the same blonde hair and blue eyes just like Jaune?"

The man in question said nothing, mouth agape. Like he wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words. Emerald on the other, continues to smile and closed her eyes thoughtfully.

‐---------------------------------------------------------------------------

9 months ago:

Emerald held back a cackle as she watched Jaune hammering into his warm moist cunt. Grunting and moan as his his collided against her thick, moka cheeks.

"Fuck, Pyrrha, you feel tighter than usual" he grunted, making Emerald laugh.

Hours ago, she stole Pyrrha's scroll, sent him an inviting text, activated her semblance, hallucinations, and waited patiently for the blonde to arrive. That was four hours ago, yet he didn't stop filling her over-stuffed cunt full of thick life giving seed.

"Fuck I swear your ass got bigger too"

------------------------------------------------------

Back n the present:

"Oh, must be a coincidence" she lied. Smirking as her hand slowly jerking Jaune's dick under the table. "In fact, I might try giving her a sibling soon~"

[smh0217]

Jaune: I found out today that Emerald is getting released from prison early.

Yang: Oh, for good behavior?

Jaune: Nah, overcrowding.

[novankenn]

What If...

Pyrrha was also under the sway of Salem Cinder and Pyrrha love each other (Pompeii) Jaune and Emerald are married (Topaz) Jaune and Emerald have a child (Jasmine Esmeralda Arc) Jaune and Emerald are on the run from Salem & Ozpin

Scene : A cheap motel in Argus

==> @cheeseeater2 - What if Nora and Ren find Jaune and Emerald with the kid and let them go if only for the child to be safe. Jaune says even if they hate him forever he loves them and hopes they can be happy one day.

Of all the things Ren and Nora expected after hearing that Jaune had left with Pyrrha during the fall, and then discovering that he and Emerald were on the run from Salem's agents. Finding himself held at gun-point by the man he used to consider a brother, was not one of them.

It had been a stroke of luck, finding out Jaune and Emerald were expecting. It was through idle chit-chat with the other tenants of the apartment building Jaune and Emerald had been living in for the last almost year... before vanishing days before a fire gutted the building. So as they continued their counter operations against Salem's machinations, they kept checking local medical centers and hospitals.

At a stop over in Argus, about a year after the last lead that went cold at the apartment complex. Nora had decided on a whim to check the local hospital, and much to her utter shock she caught site of Emerald leaving with a bundle cradled in her arms. So cautiously she followed the obviously new mother, tracing her back to a rather shabby motel.

A scroll call and Ren was beside her with in twenty minutes. A hint of intimidation and they had the room number. The flimsy wooden door was no obstacle for Nora. She was through it at the first hit of her shoulder. Ren was inside a fraction of a second after Nora burst through the door. The screaming of a startled child, and the yells of a young women, filled the room. But what Ren really focused on was the cold barrel of a rather nasty pistol being pressed against the center of his chest.

"You don't want to do this Jaune." Ren calmly informed his former team leader. "This will just make things worse."

"You right Ren, I don't want to do this, but to protect my wife and my daughter... I will." Jaune replied, his voice measured, and forced like he was fighting the potential of his own emotions surfacing. "Back away Nora."

"Jaune, why?" Nora asked as she stepped back away from the door she had just smashed in.

"I made a mistake." Jaune replied. "Both Em and I did."

"And what do you call this?" Ren asked nodding towards the pistol pressed against his chest.

"Protecting our second chance." Jaune replied. "Em, are you and her okay?"

"We are, she's just a little scared." Emerald answered, as she gently rocked the bundle in her arms. "Shush that's okay sweetie. It's okay, daddy will keep the bad people away from us."

"We're not... bad people." Nora countered.

"Really?" Emerald asked. "You've been trying to find us for years. Chasing us from place to place. Making us uproot, time and time again just so we can have a life away from all the bullshit."

"But..."

"We made mistakes. We were lied to. Led on." Emerald cut Nora off. "We figured it out too late to stop them, so we left."

"And have Ozpin's and Salem's minions dogging us all over Remnant." Jaune added. "We're out. We want to be left in peace. We know nothing, nor do we want to know anything. We're out."

"Jaune, you know..."

"Who says it can't be that way? Ozpin? Salem?" Jaune countered. "Fuck them and their little war!"

"Jaune, language!' Emerald hissed as she continued to placate the fussy infant.

"I'm sorry, but the point remains. We're out. We just want to make a life, for us and our daughter. A quiet life." Jaune expanded upon his original statement. "Both of you away from the door."

"Jaune, this isn't the right way. Come back with us? Ozpin can..."

"Ozpin is a failure." Jaune rebutted. "If he had any brains or sense he would have at least had an idea that Salem was trying something after the breach."

"None of us..."

"No, we didn't." Jaune agreed, "But we we're students, why would we have? The ones in power should have been protecting us. Like I will Em and Jas."

"Jas?" Nora asked as she moved as far from the door, as she could without getting any closer to Emerald or the infant. "Is that her name? Jas?"

"Jasmine Esmeralda Arc." Emerald informed the group. "She's named after our mothers."

Jasmine started to fuss more.

"Is she..."

"She's hungry." Emerald answered as she adjusted how she was holding Jasmine while lifting the left side of her shirt to feed her bundle of joy.

"I'm sorry it came to this." Jaune commented as he moved himself to be standing between Emerald and the now sitting Nora and Ren, his pistol still trained on Ren. "I never wanted to hurt you, either of you. You mean too much to me, but..."

"Jasmine and Emerald mean more." Nora finished his statement. "I can understand that."

"Are you truly happy Jaune?" Ren asked, keeping his hands flat on his lap, in clear view. "I mean really happy?"

"I am." Jaune replied. "I... we made our mistakes, but Jas is the best of both of us, and she deserves a future."

"A future you're willing to kill to protect?" Ren asked.

"You need to understand, Ren. I don't want to, but I will. To protect Em and Jas, I will put down anyone that comes after us."

"What are you going to do now?" Nora asked, trying to lean just enough to see Emerald and her baby.

"Same as we always do when you two or Cinder and Pyrrha get too close. We'll leave, and find somewhere new."

"That's not much of a life." Ren commented. "Always on the run. Is that fair to Jasmine? To Emerald? To you?"

"If I could change it. If I could fix it, I would... but there's fat chance of that happening, isn't there."

"Can I... can I hold her?" Nora tentatively asked. "I won't do anything, I swear, I just... I just feel this need..."

"I don't..."

"It's okay Jaune." Emerald cut him off. "I trust her enough not to hurt Jas. She's not the type."

Emerald stood, up after burping Jasmine, and slowly approached, keeping out of Jaune's line of fire. She loved him, wholly, and she understood is consuming drive and need to keep her and their daughter safe. She had the same compulsion.

"Watch her head." Emerald softly instructed Nora as she lay the precious bundle of joy. Jaune and her little miracle into Nora's arms.

"She's so small." Nora whispered, a sad smile on her face. "She's so small."

"Jaune, put it away." Emerald smiled at him as she crouched next to Nora who was completely enamored with little Jasmine.

Jaune hesitated for a fraction of a moment and then reached up and pushed the pistol back up into his sleeve. Ren heard the click of the mechanism resetting.

"Ren," Nora softly spoke. "We can't keep chasing them. We need to help them."

"Nora?"

"She's so small, and innocent. She shouldn't have to suffer for Jaune and Emerald's mistakes." Nora commented her eyes never leaving the beautiful if but slightly chubby face. "This is a fresh start for them... and us."

"Us?" Ren asked.

"I hate what Pyrrha did. How she used us all. How she broke our trust... but I want to help protect this little one. I want to do that more than chasing Jaune or Emerald." Nora made a kissy face as Emerald smiled. "Everything we're doing is about the future right? Protecting it?"

"I guess." Ren responded.

"Then let's help them. Let's let this little one have the family the Grimm robbed us of..." Nora's eyes started to tear up, emotions she thought long gone washing over her.

"It's okay, Nora." Emerald comforted her one time enemy. "It's okay."

"There might be a way." Ren sighed as he spoke. "Because to be honest I'm tired of chasing you Jaune."

"If it's any consolation, we're tired of being chased by you." Jaune gave his former teammate a soft smile.

"Would you stay in Vale, if we could get you in without anyone knowing? If we could help you get settled? Would you stay?"

Jaune looked to Emerald who was still hovering over Nora, rubbing her back in gentle circles as Nora tried to get control of her emotions. Emerald gave Jaune a smile and a nod.

"I would, if we can be safe. Unmolested?"

"Only Nora and I would know. Not even Ozpin will be any the wiser."

"Tell me why?" Jaune point blank asked.

"I want my family back together, despite the mistakes we've all made." Ren replied. "You're our family Jaune, and we miss you."

"I miss you as well." Jaune responded.

"So, can you really help us? Keep us secret and safe?" Emerald asked as Nora, at Emerald's urging, transferred Jasmine back into her arms.

"We can." Ren replied.

"No," Nora spoke her voice breaking slightly. "We will."

Jaune swallowed hard, and moved forward, his arms spread accepting Nora and Ren into a hug that had been forever in the making. A familial embrace they had all missed.
