A floating finger got placed onto Lapis' stomach. "How many did you count?" Peridot asked, a little bit worried for her lover. "I counted two." Lapis responded with a little smile. Peridot smiled back.
"Do you think Jasper will find out?" Lapis questioned. Peridot looked up from Lapis' and stared at her.
"I really don't know to be exact. That gem could probably be too of a much beef head to notice about your egg pregnancy." Peridot said.
"But what do you think she'll say?" Lapis asked again, with curious eyes. Peridot looked to the side, she really didn't know how to answer that one. Jasper could probably say a lot of things that even Peridot can't list. Some could be concerns, comments, or either hate. Peridot just shrugged, "I don't know about that one either." She responded. Lapis slowly nodded, questions filling her up again,"What if Jasper knows I'm carrying eggs? What if she tells Yellow Diamond?" Peridot slightly shivered at the thought.
"Then I'll...protect you." Peridot mumbled as she formed her screen in front of her. "But again, I'm not that much of a fighter. So don't expect me do beat them."
"I know, I know...buuuuut, what if they hurt me?" Lapis fiddled her fingers, feeling heat burn on her cheeks. This was the first time Peridot really opened up to her, more than usual. Peridot's cheeks got flushed with dark green, the gem tech felt flustered enough from the last question.
"Enough of those questions," Peridot cleared her throat. "Tell me more about earth and that...Steven."
Lapis giggled, a dark blue blush swept across her face. Making Peridot feel a little bit more flustered, she breathed in. Relaxing herself. "What plans do you have for the gemlings anyway?" Peridot asked. "Well, we're gonna have to hide them from Jasper of course." Lapis shrugged, placing her hand on her bump.
"You really think those rowdy, hyper, destructible gemlings can keep hidden?" Peridot scoffed with a dumbfounded face.
"It is mixed with our genes and both of us are not even rowdy or hyper." Lapis said.
"Yeah but, it sometimes doesn't matter about the parents' personality."
"Peri, you're missing the point."
"Oh yeah. And what is that, Lapis?"
"What really matters is that our gemlings are healthy. And who cares about their attitude and personality, we'll love them no matter what. Right?"
"Right."
"And this doesn't include any other gem too."
"You were the one who asked about Jasper and Yellow Diamond, Lapis."
"Yes, I know. But let's just forget about that."
"If you say so." Peridot said, tapping on her screen. "Peridot, I'm serious." Lapis started, scooting next to Peridot.
"Promise me." Lapis cupped Peridot's face.
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me that you'll love our gemlings and care about them."
Peridot couldn't help but crack a smile. "I promise." She chuckled, receiving a kiss on the lips from Lapis. "Oh and also you forgot one more thing." Peridot smirked. "What?" Lapis asked.
"You forgot about yourself."
"What?" Lapis asked again, with a confused expression.
"You forgot that I also care about you, Lapis." Peridot kissed her forehead, "Like I said Lapis. I'll protect you and the gemlings."
Lapis had a big smile go across her face, the blue gem hugged Peridot. "I'm also gonna protect you too." Lapis bellowed, hugging Peridot tighter with a blush. "We'll both protect each other and the gemlings." Peridot chuckled, stroking Lapis' hair with her fingers.
"I love you, Peri."
"I love you too, Lapis."
