Chapter 1: Crystal revival
Years after the treaty with earth and gems was formed, The Diamonds came to earth to see just what was so important to be kept safe.
Wonder and awe was sparked within all three Diamonds, but White the most.
And years later, when Steven was an young adult, The Diamonds ships returned to earth, under the most confusing circumstances.
Blue exited her ship first and walked briskly to the beach house, lightly knocking on the screen door with her large index.
Connie opened the door with a baffled expression. "Blue Diamond? What are you doing here?"
Blue appeared nervous, antsy, exited, worried, and scared. "Ah, Connie, Where is Steven? We need to speak with him urgently." The words skipped past her lips in jittery bouts.
Connie raised a brow in confusion and stepped back into the house. "Hey, Steven! Blue Diamond is here!" She called, unsure of what to make of the Diamond's disheveled appearance. Her hair was slightly messy and not as sleek and shiny as normal, her dress bore a few wrinkles not to mention a precrural white stain across the shoulder. She looked almost half asleep.
"Are you alright, Blue Diamond?" Connie asked, giving the large blue gem a worried glance.
Blue jolted upright. "I-Oh! Yes! I'm f... fine." Her appearance told another story than the words jittering out of her mouth. Connie gave a skeptical look but sighed softly shaking her head lightly.
Steven skidded out of the bathroom his face baby smooth, as he had just finished shaving, He caught himself before he fell down and smiled at the blue giant before him. "Hi Blue!"
Blue couldn't fight the smile that began to tug at the corners of her mouth. "Hello Steven, Yellow and I need to speak with you. It's rather important."
"Really?" Steven asked quirking a brow, his smile never falling from his angle face. Blue nodded and held a hand down for him to climb in. He climbed into her palm and held onto her thumb. Blue straightened up and made quick strides towards the three combined Diamond ships.
When Blue got to the ships, she entered White's instead of her own.
"So, what is this 'important' matter you all came to earth for?" Steven asked as they moved down an unfamiliar corridor. Blue stayed silent as they pressed further, mumbling something under her breath about someone still sleeping, and weather Yellow woke them up or not.
Blue pressed a few buttons and the door slid open with a hiss of air, cautiously she stepped in and the door slid shut with a thunk.
Yellow jumped at the sound and turned on heel to face the pair, both of their pearls sitting criss cross on blue and yellow cushions, each corresponding to their owners gem. In the back corner of the room was a silver cushion with a sparkling white blanket covering it. Blue looked with questioning eyes to the cushion, and then to the eyes of the hard yellow gem who stood nearby, having been watching the cushion. Yellow nodded, closing her eyes and mouthing a question to Blue, who answered with a nod of her own.
"So" Steven drawled looking between the two antsy gems and the cushion, that he could only guess belonged to White, twiddling his thumbs he continued. "What is this important matter that is so big that you have to come to earth, and where's White?"
Blue and Yellow averted gazes a silence stretching between the three Diamonds.
"It's why we came here, Yellow. We can't turn back now." Blue whispered. As Yellow softly stepped closer to the duo, her heel clacks echoed in the almost empty room.
"I know, but, how do we find the words, its... she's... Steven... There is a big secret that we've all kept for about a rotation and a half... What you are about to see is something only a handful of gems have seen and are aware of." Yellow said, as she and Blue inched closer to the cushion.
Blue set Steven near the -what one could guess was the head of the cushion because of the expanse of pillows- and Yellow gently picked up the hem of the cloak and softly pulled it downwards.
Steven slowly walked closer to the pile of pillows and gasped, stumbling backwards in shock.
Nestled in the pillows and the cloak was something small.
Something delicate.
Something no one could have foreseen, not even the best of Sapphire's.
Something incredible.
Nestled in the pillows, curled up from the removement of her covering, was a tiny baby.
With stringy platinum blonde hair, pale skin, full lashes, black lips, a flowing white dress that allowed her to move but still resembled Her grand Clarity's, and a White gemstone imbedded on her forehead. Tiny fingers gripped the silky soft fabric the made up the cushion as she stirred from the removal of the blanketing warmth.
"Is she...?" Steven questioned his voice rising in pitch.
"White Diamond did something like your mother, Steven. We only found out a little while ago, but this, she is the daughter of her grand clarity, White diamond." Blue said, a tired smile playing across her face.
"Awn! What's her name?" Steven questioned excitedly, wanting to cradle the tiny child but not wanting to awaken her.
"According to White's pearl, she wanted her to be called 'Alexandria Victoria White Diamond'. And if that's what she wished then we must honor her wishes even if this is not something we want." Yellow said, crossing her arms. It was obvious she wasn't elated by the child's presence.
"Awn! She's so cute I just wanna just OOO!" Steven squealed, smushing his cheeks.
Alexandria rolled onto her back and began to fuss softly, her tiny fists waving through the air, eyes scrunched than fluttered open.
Silver diamond iris's looked up to Steven as tears began to well in the corners of her large eyes.
"Oh, no. Hey, I didn't mean to make you cry... It's ok Alex, Your ok." Steven soothed, his voice calm as he picked her up and began bouncing her in his arms.
"That is why we need your help Steven. Blue and I don't know the first thing about taking care of a 'bay-be'. Let alone a human one. We figured that, you and your 'crystal gems' could take care of her or at least help us take care of her." Yellow said, her eyes staring at he fussing girl nestled in Steven's arms.
"Us?" Steven questioned.
"Yes, Yellow's right... We want her to grow up right and know how to be a human, as well as the Diamond she needs to be." Blue said, hanging her head slightly. Steven grew quiet as he mulled over what they were saying. True, they knew nothing about child care, but, this baby, Alexandria, was also a Diamond, with more at her feet than what Steven could comprehend.
Steven stayed silent for a long time, little Alexandria finding his spilling curly locks of hair entertaining.
He looked down at her smiling face, and so did Blue and Yellow, each of them still, breaths held.
Steven sat himself on the cushion and locked eyes with the little girl, who was so similar to him. Her eyes seemed to sparkle, but also plead for him to say something, anything, to give the elder diamonds some sort of answer regarding her fate.
And finally after his silence, he spoke determining the fate of the young Diamond cuddled in his arms.
