Steven Universe Oneshots

Story Time

All the crystal gems waited, wondering why Rose had gathered them all. Rose smiled, took a deep breath, and shattered Pearl's whole world.

"I'm pregnant." she said with a giggle and a smile. Everyone was frozen for a moment, like time had stopped, just for a second.

"But..." Pearl muttered. "How is that even possible?! Gems aren't born!" She was panicking, the cool and calm Pearl and panicking, not knowing what to do. Rose was quiet for a moment. She smiled.

"I will become half of the baby." she stated simply. "I'll have to give up my physical form. But his is something I've been thinking about for a long time now." She said as she rubbed her stomach. Her cheeks got pink and she smiled, her laugh echoed around their home.

"I figured this was the only way for me to  fuse with Greg properly..." she said with a smile. Everyone was quiet for a moment. Garnet and Amethyst walked up to Rose, tears in their eyes.

"I'll support you in this." Garnet said and held Rose's hands. The three of them walked into Rose's room.

"What're you gonna name it?" Amethyst asked.

"It's a boy, so we're thinking 'Steven'." Rose replied right before they stepped into the room.

"I........I can't...." Pearl said, her eyes stinging from tears. "I WON'T ACCEPT IT!!!!"  she screamed. "THAT'S JUST WRONG!!"

The three crystal gems turned around. Amethyst was frowning, Garnet's mouth was agape, and Rose seemed sad.

"WHAT ABOUT OUR DUTY TO PROTECT THE EARTH?! OUR MISSION?!" Pearl shouted.

"Steven will still be a crystal gem, he will help you with-" Rose started to say.

"NO! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS ROSE! IF YOU WANTED TO FUSE WITH SO BADLY....WE COULD HAVE-" Pearl said before covering her mouth.

"..............Pearl..........." Rose said. Pearl, without a word, ran to the warp pad. "PEARL! WAIT!"

A flash of blue light signaled that she had already left. Pearl was at the gem battlefield. It was deserted and smelled like strawberry. Pearl sat down on the warp pad.

"This is just.....wrong.....so wrong..... who will lead us on our missions?" Pearl asked as her tears fell onto the ground, making tiny mirrors.

"If you're not here, what about my duty? What.....What will I do without you? What do I life for? If you're not here....?" Pearl asked.

*Months later*

Garnet and Amethyst crowded around the cradle that held the baby.

"Come on, Pearl look at him! He's super mega squishy!" Amethyst said. Pearl walked to the cradle. So this is the creature that made Rose leave... Pearl thought as she made her way there. A baby stared at Pearl. It smiled and laughed, just like Rose did.

"Ma....Ma." Steven said. Amethyst laughed.

"HAHA! Mama Pearl. It suits you!"

Garnet placed a hand on Pearl's shoulder.

"It's our duty to take care of him now. Along with Greg of course." she said with a small smile.

"Oh...." Pearl said with a realization. This was Rose now, at least half of her. This was Rose.

"It....Seems....I have found a new duty...." Pearl said with a smile.
