A Real Mother

Ch 7 Time with Yellow

A/N: Because of my absence of updating I bequeath... A boot to the head. *smack* And a longer chapter. Enjoy. :)

"The Diamonds are my family after all." Steven spoke with fondness.

He got up from his bed and gave his girlfriend a kiss which she returned with love. The two separated and Steven went to the bathroom that Diamonds had built for him. He showered and changed into a black shirt with the four diamonds on it, white pants and his signature flip flops.

Coming out of the bathroom with his new attire on he went up to Pink Pearl and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Yellow wanted to spend time with me today. Are you going to be ok by yourself?"

Pink Pearl hugged the diamond hybrid and smiled. "Don't worry about me My Diamond, i'll be fine." 

'My Diamond' threw Steven off a bit. Sure he knows he is Diamond now and once he tells his Diamond family about this everyone will be saying 'My Diamond' to him. But hearing it from his girlfriend just made him feel weird and he didn't like it. He'll get use to it over time, yes, if it was from other gems and he eventually wouldn't mind it because he said it himself that he wouldn't force change on Homeworld, no matter how small. He understood that this place runs on a system, a machine. Every piece has a place that makes that said machine work and if one piece were to be taken out then the whole thing would crumble.

That's why he hasn't tried to change anything. Even if he really wanted to.

But Pinky. His girlfriend was the acception. He would be damned if his girlfriend was going to be a slave to him all because he was a Diamond. He was going to make sure that Pinky was an independant gem that wasn't forced to do anything. Even if it was something as small as calling him 'My Diamond.'

The two separated from the hug and Steven looked right into Pinkies eyes. "Pinky when we are in private or alone together at anytime please don't call me My Diamond. It feels weird when you say it and I don't want you to believe that you are forced to say that. The only time you absolutely have to say it is when we are with my moms and grandma. I don't want you to get in trouble." He spoke sadly.

Pink Pearl was a bit stunned by this. She knew Steven cared for her but she didn't know that he cared for her this much. This brought a soft and loving smile to her face. "Alright Stevie, I'll only say it if we are in the presence of the other Diamonds once they find out about you being a Diamond."

Steven blushed at the nickname that Pinky gave him but nodded anyway. He looked towards the door and then back at Pinky. "I should probably get going, mom is most likely waiting for me."

(A/N: Someone in the comments of the last chapter said that Blue should be mommy and Yellow should be mom. I had Blue mom and Yellow mommy in the last chapter, so in this chapter and future chapters Blue is mommy and Yellow is mom.)

With a nod from Pink Pearl, Steven emerged from his room and walked down the halls of Homeworld, occasionally passing gems and waving to them on his way to the throne room. Once arrived, he was about to open the doors to greet his moms but he heard Yellow yelling on the other side.

"These rebels are getting out of control White! More and more of them keep popping up and they are overrunning and taking control of our colonies! We need to find a way to get rid of them! I don't want them to hurt my son!" Tears fell from Yellows eyes as she thought of Steven being hurt or worse. Killed. On a surface level, Yellow looks cold and calculating with no ounce of remorse in what she does. But if something or someone threatens the ones she loves and cares for, then she will fight to protect them until the last shard of her gem is nothing but dust.
