Steven Universe Pink Diamond LIVES

Chapter 26: Mom

I can't stop thinking about what is to come of Yellow. I did defeat her in a battle but, was it needed at that moment? Would she have sided with Homeworld or me? I probably should be focusing on fighting tactics, or strategies...
but she was the Diamond for attack. She'd probably scold me for using the wrong gems. But, then I'd argue back that they could be whoever they want to be. Or maybe, we already had that argument...I'm not sure.
I look back up at the sky, I already have a plan in place. We just need the numbers for them. Come on, Blue. I mutter to myself, I stare at the sky some more.
"You're like a dog awaiting its owner." Steven pokes my cheek. I gasp, how did he get on my shoulders?
"Umm...what's a dog?" I ask, shaking off the question. He gasps, and pulls a rectangular device out of his pocket. He taps on it, until finally he shows me a dog!
"Oh my! That's so cute! I want a dog!" I exclaim. Steven chuckles, and points down. I look there, it's Pumpkin.
"But, Pumpkin acts like a dog. So...technically we already have one." Steven points out. I nod.
"Alrighty then, I guess when push comes to shove, I can shape shift into one." I convince myself. As soon as I get done talking, I look back up at the sky. I hear a sigh come from Steven, then he boops my nose. I blink a few times.
"Yes, Steven?" I ask. Steven looks into my eyes and gets flustered. I give him a stare.
"W-what if YOU were my mother?" He questions out of the blue. I shake out of my trance of staring at the sky.
"But, you do know that...it's impossible. Right?" I interrogate. He looks at the beach.
"I know...it's just that...you act more like a mother than any other gems." Steven replies. I sigh.
"Steven, they're trying to be the best moms you could ask for. I find myself even acting like one towards you, too. But, I want you to know," I begin but I am interrupted.
"What if you adopted me?" Steven squeezes my cheeks together. I take him off of my face, and have him stand in my hands.
"Steven. I'm a diamond, if gems are going to be free that means that I have to disappear eventually. You wouldn't want to see your mother go away." I smile weakly. Steven shakes his head.
"Then...can I at least call you...Mom?" He covers his face. I sigh, but smile.
"Fine. But don't get too attached to me." I offer, he nods. I place him on the ground, and lay down. He does the same, next to my head.
"You know, you remind me of me when I first emerged." I mention. Steven gasps, I think he might have stars in his eyes.
"Really!" He exclaims, I nod.
"Yes. Except, Blue was the way I was in our little argument. And you were like me in the argument." I explain.
"Go on," Steven urges. I chuckle and begin to tell him the story.
"Well, it was a good...100 years after I was emerged. Blue and I were like mother and daughter. I asked her if I could call her mom, but she started making excuses. Eventually however, I won our argument so. I sometimes call her mom. But, I learned it's very unprofessional." I monologue. Steven hugs my wrist. I look down at it.
"I'm sorry for that." Steven apologizes.
"No need for you to apologize Steven. It just..happens." I sit up, wiping tears I didn't know were shedding. Steven gets up, with sorrow. I give a fake smile.
"It's okay, really Steven. I'm used to it by now." I look back up at the sky. I'm used to it. But, I see a blue hand. It's flying and coming over here. I see more blue ships arrive behind it. Mom's here.
