New Life- SU Fanfiction

Alone with Steven

When we got home, the gems sent us to bed. "Not fair!" Steven and I said, but they stuck to their decision.

"Ugh." I said to Steven. "Do they always make you go to bed this early?"

He nodded. "Yeah, it's not that bad though."

I groaned and laid on my bed. Suddenly, I felt someone on my bed. It was Steven. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked.

I nodded. "Sure. Go ahead."

He sighed. "Did you ever meet my mom?"

I smiled a bit. "Yeah. I was 3, and it was about a month before you were to be born."

"What do you remember?" he asked.

I blushed. "I remember a few things. I remember her hands. They were so soft and warm. I remember how beautiful she was. She had these beautiful eyes, with long, thick eyelashes. And her hair was soft and pink and in big pink curls. She was so nice."

He looked at me with a happyish sad look on his face. "I wish I could've met her."

"I wish you could've met her too. She would've loved you." My eyes faded to a sad grey and I felt tears well up. A fat tear ran down my cheek and fell, making a small dark circle on my pants.

"Hey, are you crying?" Steven asked, concerned.

I shook my head. "No.." I turned away

"I miss your mother so much.. She was amazing."

His face sunk and he looked sad

I wrapped him in a hug "But you're better."

Steven smiled and we sat there, hugging each other.

I ruffled his hair and playfully pushed him off my bed. "Ok, go to sleep before 2 mums and Amethyst yell at me for keeping you up."

He chuckled. "Yes ma'am!" He jumped into his bed and I laid down in mine.

At 3 am, Steven was at my bedside, shaking me, telling me "Wake up, wake up."

I rolled over and sat up, using my phone for light. "Steven?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes and reached for my glasses. "Why are you awake?"

He looked at me. "I had a bad dream."

I sighed. "Do you wanna sleep in my bed?" I asked.

He nodded and climbed in with me. I sang softly and smoothed his hair until he fell asleep. Then I kissed him on the forehead and whispered goodnight before falling asleep again. I had just gone full big-sister mode.
