Garnet had half a mind to bubble Amethyst, she stood in her own room of the Temple, but she didn't know how it would affect Amethyst or how she should explain it to Pearl. Garnet decided to not bubble Amethyst and walked through the door to the house.

"Garnet, what happened?" Pearl asked as she saw Garnet with Amethyst's gem.

"A pile of objects fell on her when she ran away." Garnet replied.

"I told her having all of those junk piles so high was dangerous, not to mention disgusting." Pearl began to ramble on about danger, cleanliness, and other things in that category. Garnet forced back a smile. She hadn't seen Pearl ramble on like that since she spent a week telling Rose how Greg was unfit to so much as look at her. Garnet set down Amethyst's gem and sat next to Pearl as she continued to rant. Steven was asleep in Pearl's arms. Garnet hadn't seen him sleep so soundly before. She began to see visions of the future, or the many possibilities. Pearl was in each future, which meant the danger she was in earlier was over, for now. Steven's future was difficult, there were so many influences. If Pearl moved him just right while rambling on he'd refuse to be a Gem when he got older and try to be fully human. If she move him another way he'd refuse his human side. It was strange how such little things had such a big impact. Garnet turned pale as a future Steven died to bring back his mother flashed before her.

"Garnet, are you alright?" Pearl asked, noticing no one was listening to her lecture. Garnet looked at Pearl, then at Steven, then at Pearl. She then looked around the room, the sun was beginning to rise. She must have been lost in the possible futures for the majority of the night.

"We can't let him know." Garnet clenched her fists.

"What's wrong?"

"If we aren't careful he will grow up full of blame and darkness in his heart. It will be too much to bear and he'll try to destroy his physical form." Pearl's eyes went wide.

"Who'd come back?" She asked. She knew it wasn't a thing to ask, but she had to know. She wasn't sure who she wanted. She wanted Rose a whole lot, but the baby in her arms was soft and sweet and he was Rose too.

"I am not sure." Garnet whispered. She wasn't pleased with Pearl's question, but she knew Pearl loved Rose more than anything, literally. Garnet looked at Steven and gently stroked his cheek. He smiled a toothless grin from her familiar touch. Suddenly a white light filled the room. Amethyst reformed from the light and hid her face from Garnet and Pearl.

"Amethyst, we need to talk." Pearl said gently.

"No, we don't." Amethyst sneered.

"Sit down now." Garnet said sternly. Amethyst, somewhat frightened at Garnet's tone, di as she was told. "I am tired of your behavior, Amethyst. This is no way for a Crystal Gem to behave."

"Amethyst, we need to keep him." Pearl stood up and sat on the floor next to Amethyst. Amethyst glared at her but didn't move away.

"She's right." Garnet said.

"Look, Amethyst." Pearl said as she gently unbuttoned Steven's pajamas to reveal a rose quartz gem on his stomach. Amethyst looked taken back.

"Can I touch it?" She asked. She wanted to know if it felt like Rose's gem. It looked like it, but it just didn't seem real.

"Go ahead. You can hold him if you want." Before Amethyst could protest, Pearl placed Steven in her lap. Amethyst gently touched his gem. It was definitely Rose's gem.

"She's really gone." Amethyst sighed. Pearl knew what Amethyst was going through. She didn't believe Rose was gone until she saw her gem on Steven. Amethyst stood up, still holding Steven. He opened his eyes for a moment, smiled, and went back to sleep. Amethyst's heart melted. "He's all alone." She mumbled. "Just like me." She thought to herself. There were no other creatures like Steven. There were Gems and there were humans, but Steven was the only link between them. He was the only one of his kind.

"He has us. We'll take care of him, for Rose." Pear said as she stood up. Whenever she said she'd do something for Rose, she meant it.

"For love and the Crystal Gems." Garnet smiled as she stood and walked between the two of them.

"For family." Amethyst said, tears falling from her face. Soon Pearl was crying too. Garnet wrapped the two of them and Steven in a hug.

"My Gems." Garnet thought to herself as she tried to control her own tears. "This won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Steven needs love and knowledge." She said as she pointed at Pearl. "He needs wisdom and strength." She pointed at herself. "And he needs fun and adventure." She pointed at Amethyst.

"Do you think he'll be like her?" Pearl asked. Steven's gem glowed slightly.

"Totally." Amethyst grinned. Steven became fussy.

"Let's sing a lullaby, the one we sang with Rose." Pearl looked up at Garnet.

"We" Garnet sang.

"Are the Crystal Gems" Amethyst and Pearl sang.

"We'll always save the day, we'll always find a way." The three ng. That part of the song was missing something but they didn't know what.

"That's why the people" Garnet sang.

"Of this world believe in" The three sang in unison.

"Garnet!" Garnet grinned.

"Amethyst!" Amethyst laughed.

"And Pearl!" Pearl smiled.

"And Steven!" The three laughed. For the first time the three Gems and the baby were a family, and a family they'd say.

A.N. Thank you guys for being patient for the last chapter. I sorry it has taken so long, I was recently published in a book so I have been busy with that and my first job and senior year. I have another fanfiction I will (hopefully) start soon.
