Hey all, I just got this idea to 1 go into depth with my OC and 2 because I just wanna pair the two cause why not?

-=Beach City 13 years ago=-

It was another sunny day in Beach City, no corrupted Gems, no missions, and just an over all uneventful day for the Crystal Gems.

They were all in the temple, relaxing in their separate rooms. It had been a year since Rose had theoretically died, two of the three Gems were only just coming to accept that harsh truth and try to love Steven as Rose had wanted them to.

On the other hand, one of the Gems: Pearl, was not as accepting of the boy, she knew it wasn't technically his fault...no, it was his father, Greg Universe. He not only won Rose over, but he took her from Pearl...or at least that's how she saw it.

No, Steven was nothing more than a constant reminder that Rose was gone, and she resented him for it.

Garnet was not too much better, she also wasn't fond of Greg, but she had come to enjoy Steven. Unlike Pearl, she saw Steven in a better light: a product of Rose, something she needed to protect for as long as she lived.

Amethyst was the first to accept Rose's passing, she had let all her frustrations out, and in all honesty, she didn't understand why she did it, but she did understand that this thing she left behind was precious to Rose, and she needed to make it happy and keep it safe. Her opinion on Greg had gotten worse but she didn't completely hate him.

The man in question had recently gotten a car wash started, but he couldn't afford a house, so the four of them all came to an agreement: Steven can live with them whenever Greg has no place to put him, because he refused to put Steven in a van, and he also felt that Steven would need some mother figures in his life for stability.

They got together and built a house for the kid, he would stay there if Greg needed to run errands or something and couldn't take Steven. Of course Amethyst would come over to play with him while Greg was working but she wasn't aloud out of his field of vision.

Starting today, Steven stay with the Gems for a few days, unfortunately Greg's aunt had recently passed and he had to attend her funeral, not a place for a one year old to be.

There was a knock at the temple door, Greg was standing outside said door with a black duffel bag full of baby food, diapers, shampoo, and other things a baby needs for a week long sleepover.

Amethyst was the first out. "Hey Greg." She said dismissively as she held her hands out for Steven.

He sighed as he handed his kid to her. He didn't dare say anything about her attitude towards him, he felt it to be totally justified and knew he just had to give things time to hopefully go back to normal.

Garnet was the next to come out. "Greg." She said simply as she reached for the bag. "How long will we be keeping him here?"

"A week probably, I have to travel all the way across the country and it's a two day affair, so it will be a while." He explained as he handed a paper to her along with the bag. "These are all the things Steven needs, a schedule for eating, sleeping, and naps. My phone number is on there as well if you need anything. Also remember, he doesn't like his shirt buttoned up over his gem when he goes to sleep."

Garnet took the list and looked it over. "Could you also keep an eye on him? I mean Pearl doesn't seem to like him, and it's not like I don't trust Amethyst, but she can play a bit...rough." He said looking over to see Amethyst tossing Steven up and down.

"Amethyst, be careful with him, he's even more fragile then Greg, so don't be doing that." Garnet warned the purple Quartz.

"Yeah, yeah, you told me all of this before they got here, we're just having fun, he's laughing, see?" She smiled as Steven giggled each time she tossed him up.

"Amethyst, you aren't exactly known for your carefulness, please don't do that." She warned again with a more stern voice.

Amethyst sighed as she stopped tossing him, she walked over next to Garnet who took the child for a bit herself. "Alright Greg, we got this, you can leave now."

He gave Steven a kiss on the head. "See you soon Stu Ball, have fun." He waved to him with a smile before walking off.

Garnet waited till he was gone before holding Steven in front of her. She took off her visor and smiled at him. "Hello, Cutie Pie, how are you?"

Steven giggled at her and put his hands on her cheeks. "Hehe, glad to hear you're having a good day, are you ready to go to the beach?"

Steven in turn started clapping and babbling nonsense. "I'll take that as a yes, let's get you in some swimming shorts."

Amethyst held the boy as Garnet changed him into some shorts and a swimming diaper. She grabbed some floats that they had in a closet, and Amethyst grabbed an umbrella from her room to put above Steven while he played.

Garnet put sunscreen on him, despite his resistance and the three of them headed outside. "So Steven, what are we doing first?" Amethyst grinned as she put him on her shoulders.

"We should get set up on the beach with other people, I understand that you want to play with him, but he needs to interact with kids his age as well." Garnet said as she lead the other two to the public beach.

They spent the day there, speaking with some of the human parents that occupied the beach despite the fact that they didn't want anything to do with the humans other then letting Steven play with the other kids.

The day was less than eventful, Garnet let Amethyst do all the interactions with the adult humans and she took Steven out to play in the water but somehow got stuck with all the kids, so there was that.

The day was coming to an end and Pearl still had yet to leave her room, leaving Amethyst and Garnet to deal with a cranky Steven who didn't want to go to bed.

"Come on, Steven, you had a nice warm bath, some yummy food, and got changed, what's wrong buddy?" Amethyst said, trying to calm him down.

"Here, give him this." Garnet said, handing a pacifier to her. "Just put it in his mouth."

She did as instructed, at first he refused it, but he eventually put it in his mouth and started calming down. His eyes slowly closed and soon he was asleep.

"Dang, I had no idea he could be so difficult, how does Greg do this every day?" Amethyst sighed as she dropped down onto the couch.

"That much I'm unsure of, he's only human, it must be difficult to keep up. But whatever, I could care less about his struggles." Garnet shrugged as she followed her downstairs. "Be sure to lock the door and windows when you go to your room."

Amethyst gave a thumbs up as she dropped a pillow on top of her head and let herself relax.

-=2:30 AM=-

Amethyst had gone back to her room an hour ago and the entire house was quiet. That was until the sound of the temple door opening and shutting was heard, though the only one around to hear it was the pale white Gem that came from said door.

There was no sound from her as she silently made her way to Steven's crib. She leaned over the edge with a glare. "You...you're keeping my Rose trapped. I think it's time for her to come back, I won't back down this time."

The atmosphere got darker as she reached for his exposed Gem and placed her fingers on it. She got a grip on the edges, but just as she went to pull it out there was a loud boom from the sky outside.

Pearl froze in fear as she looked out the window. A large green ship was descending from the sky and right for the temple.

Garnet and Amethyst burst out of the temple, Amethyst rushed outside with no regard for the white Gem, but Garnet saw it all. Pearl's hand on his gem, the look in her eyes,...what she intended to do.

"Garnet I-" Pearl started as she pulled away but Garnet held a hand up. "No, we will talk about this later." She growled.

Pearl followed her outside with a dreadful feeling sinking in, she knew she was in trouble.

The waves crashed violently and sand flew everywhere. The ship was now hovering over the water.

"Gems, stand your ground and be ready to fight whoever comes out of there!" Garnet shouted to them.

The hand turned palm up and two Gems appeared on top. One was a Peridot, she had her gem on her forehead and was suited up with limb enhancers.

Next to her was a huge Gem, she was orange with darker orange stripes all over, her Gem replacing her nose.

"This is it?" The orange Gem sighed as she walked closer. "For Diamonds sake Peridot, when you said the radar picked up Gems, I had hoped it would be an actual threat."

"Jasper, you know that the Diamonds would want these, if they saw we picked up Gem life and we didn't take action they would be furious." The Peridot reminded her.

"Whatever, Rose Quartz isn't even here, why would they care?" Jasper said as she rolled her golden eyes.

"Because these Gems would know WHERE she is, use your head for something else then beating people into the ground for once!" Peridot argued.

"You better watch your mouth if you want to make it back to Homeworld with your gem intact." Jasper glared.

"You need to leave, now!" Garnet commanded as she stepped forward, summoning her gauntlets.

"Yeah, step off!" Amethyst shouted, summoning her whip with a look of anger.

"This is not a Gem controlled planet!" Pearl, who already had her spear out, informed them, only to get a glare from Garnet who was obviously still mad.

"So, Rose isn't here? What a shame, I was hoping to meet her, I was looking forward to 'beating her into the ground'."She growled, quoting what Peridot said while giving her a mocking look.

"But this is all that's left of her army? Some lost, defective Pearl, a puny, over cooked runt, and this shameless display?" She said with a raised brow, annoyed about the wasted time.

"You don't need me for this, go ahead and destabilize them, I'll check their base for Rose." Jasper said as she jumped down, making her way to the new house.

"Amethyst, go keep an eye on Steven." Garnet ordered quietly before charging at the Jasper.

The purple Gem ran for the house as the two eldest Gems went to fight Jasper. This was proven to be a mistake; right as Garnet got to her Jasper shoved a yellow rod into her stomach, sending yellow lines all over her, her body seemed to separate into multiple cube-like increments before she retreated into her Gems.

Pear was next, sliding behind her and charging at the large Gem with her spear. Jasper just huffed before grabbing the handle right under the blade and swinging it over her, slamming Pearl into the sand. She then proceeded to yank the spear away and stab her in the chest with her own weapon, proofing her immediately.

"Now then, what are you hiding?" She smirked as she watched Amethyst standing in the doorway.

Jasper jumped onto the porch only to see that Amethyst was making a run for the warp pad. "No you don't." Jasper grinned wildly, doing a spin dash and catching up with her in no time.

She went to punch her but Amethyst jumped out of the way at the last second, Jasper missed her and slammed her fist into the warp pad, sending cracks all over it.

With nowhere to run she hid Steven under a blanket before summoning her whip. "You're going down." She growled.

Jasper just scoffed as Amethyst swung her whip at her. She grabbed the end of the whip and pulled it, sending Amethyst flying across the room towards her. Once Amethyst reached her, Jasper punched her in the stomach with enough force to send her flying into the kitchen, breaking a few cabinets.

Before she was able to get up Jasper stomped on her head, sending her back into her gem. "How pathetic."

There was crying coming from the couch, that's where Jasper noticed the blanket moving. "What do we have here?" She smirked, ripping the blanket away to reveal a crying Steven.

She raised a brow as she lifted him up. She looked him over, noticing the gem on his stomach.

"Don't tell me you're Rose Quartz." She glared with annoyance clear in her voice. "Why do you look like that, why aren't you saying anything?"

Steven looked into her eyes and instantly stopped crying. He put a hand on her Gem and began laughing instead.

"Stop that, let me go you psycho." She growled pulling his hands away. "Oh I'm going to have fun with this."

She lifted him into the air, about to throw him into the floor but Peridot interrupted. "Why are you fighting a human offspring?"

"You need to get your gem checked, this is Rose Quartz, can't you see the gem on her stomach." Jasper asked holding him upside down by the leg, as if showing him off.

"Jasper, do you really think that the leader of the Gem Rebellion would turn into that? Obviously what's going on here is that these tyrants were experimenting on human offspring and messed up, now it has her gem." Peridot theorized as she took him from her.

"In fact, this is a very valuable subject. I'm bring it back to the Diamonds." She smiled in victory as she raised him up.

"You want to take Rose Quartz straight to the Diamonds? Are you insane?! this could all be a trick to get her to another Diamond, I say we crush her while we can." Jasper said, reaching for him.

"And what will you say when I tell the Diamonds that you destroyed such a valuable specimen? Do you honestly think you'll survive that encounter?" Peridot smirked, pulling him away.

Jasper growled as she glared at Peridot. "You better hope you're right."

"Of course I am, look, it's already sporting a diamond on its outfit." She said gesturing to the diamond-like shape over his gem, the Gems left this part open so he wouldn't throw a fit and it coincidentally ended up like this, not that Peridot would know or needed to know.

"Hurry up and get back in the ship, I want off this ball of mud ASAP." Jasper sighed as she stomped off.

Peridot was about to follow her before she noticed a black bag with a paper on it. She picked up the paper and read it over. It looked to be a list of instructions, schedules, and some number combination.

She looked in the bag and started pulling stuff out. She ended up holding a toy of his and examining it. "Is this a weapon?..."

Steven giggled as he reached for it. Peridot raised a brow as she started putting two and two together. "So you're a Steven?" She asked, referencing the name that was on the paper.

She glanced at siad paper again. "It seems to be a schedule designed to know when you need nutrients and how much of it you need, as well as a hibernation schedule...hmm, I best take this with me."

"Peridot, if you don't get out here, I'll shatter both of you!" Jasper shouted from the ship.

The green Gem just sighed as she looked around. "I guess I'll need something to keep track of earth time untill we have Homeworld study this more." She grabbed a clock that had fallen off the wall as well as the black bag and the list.

"What took you so long, why do you have all that?" Jasper questioned as she approached the ship.

"To my knowledge, these are instructions on how to keep this 'Steven' alive, and this apparently has all it will need for nine Earth days." She informed the large Gem.

"You best keep in mind that if Rose is really just scheming, you're going to be shattered." Jasper smirked as the green orb surrounded them much to Steven's amusement.

Peridot thought on it for a bit before looking Jasper dead in the eye. "That's a risk I'm willing to take."

Peridot walked off towards the control room with Jasper right behind her, rolling her eyes at Peridot's comment.

"Whatever, where are we going now?" Jasper asked as she sat down and kicked her feet up.

Peridot glared at her. "We could leave with this 'Steven' but I'm sure Yellow Diamond would be more interested in the Cluster, so first we are to check that." She said as she dropped the bag full of supplies for Steven next to her and sat down with him in her lap.

"Alright, I'll go ahead and pretend that I could ever believe that's not Rose, what do you plan on doing with it if it's really some disgusting test subject gone wrong?" Jasper asked as they ascended into the sky and started heading for the Kindergarten.

"It will probably undergo tests, most likely under White Diamond, her court is all about testing on perfecting Gems after all." Peridot shrugged as she stopped Steven from getting off her lap.

"Alright, and what exactly do you believe that thing to be then?" Jasper asked with a raised brow, watching the oblivious child.

"Well it seems that Rose was doing some experiments with the humans and something went wrong and now she's stuck in this thing, I'm not even sure if she would survive that. It's that, or her team betrayed her and did this to her, it doesn't matter, we will get answers from the rebel Gems we caught." She theorized while stopping the ship right over the Kindergarten.

"Anyway, I'll be right back. You have no reason to accompany me down there, so while I go and check the data, you watch the Steven." Peridot said, setting him on her head.

"Excuse me?!" Jasper shot up but Steven clung to her hair.

"You heard me, I can't risk breaking it by taking it down there, all you have to do is make sure it doesn't hurt itself. Just be careful with it, human offspring are more fragile then even the grown humans." Peridot instructed. Before Jasper could put up a fight, Peridot had already left in a pod.

"She's lucky that she has a use still, I should just say that those rebels shattered her and move on with my life." Jasper grumbled to herself.

She looked around for the Steven but couldn't find him. "Where did you go Rose?!" She shouted out. Just then she saw two tiny hands fall in front of her eyes impeding her vision.

She turned and looked in the closest reflective surface to see him sleeping on her head. "You try anything funny, I'll crush your Gem into a find powder." She threatened, though he didn't hear, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand.

Jasper sat down and crossed her arms as she waited impatiently for Peridot to return. That being said, she ended up just sitting there for nearly an hour.

Peridot came in, seemingly finishing a log date. "-seems to be doing fine, it should emerge in maybe fifteen rotations around this planet's sun. Further investigation and a check up required a rotation before then. Peridot out."

"Finally you're back, it shouldn't have taken that long." Jasper growled as she approached her.

"Why is the Steven still on your head?..." Peridot asked, pointing to the small boy.

"Don't ask me, you put it there, and it hasn't gotten down yet, now take it back and let's go." She demanded.

"Sorry Jasper, but I was doing research on this 'sleeping' that the humans do, a long with many other human customs and requirements while I was waiting for the data to download, if we move it now, it will wake up, and the instructions list says that it is far past it's time to 'sleep', so it would be potentially harmful for further and proper testing if we deviated from that list." Peridot said as she passed Jasper and sat down.

"I swear, if you're wrong about this, I'll request to be your personal executioner." Jasper threatened as she sat down as well.

"I am fairly confident in my theory, I'm sure I will be fine." Peridot rolled her eyes, brushing off her comment.

"Guess we'll just have to wait and see." Jasper grinned at the thought of wiping Peridot clean from existence as they took off towards Homeworld.

-=End Of Chapter=-

There you have it, can't leave the kid alone with the Gems for one day without a super coincidental attack happening.

I hope you enjoy it so far this is nothing more then a side project, mostly just for my own enjoyment, but also so when I implement my OC into other stories, you'll have somewhat of an idea on who I'm talking about, though she will usually be in different situations depending on how her past went in that timeline.

Anyway, as always,

have a good day, goodnight, or good afternoon, I might be seeing you again here soon.
