Hey there everyone! I have been watching Steven Universe for quite a while and I absolutely love it! I've been thinking of making a story for this fandom and here it is. I'm sure there are plenty of 'raising Steven' kind of stories, but here's my version. Please enjoy and don't forget to leave a review!

It had been about a year since Rose had given up her physical form to bring Steven into the world. Without their leader, the Crystal Gems were learning how to go on without her. They each taken it hard, but they had to help Greg take care of an infant Steven.

Amethyst stared at the chubby baby with the rose quartz gem. She didn't know what to do with him. She liked to have fun, but he was just a baby. The purple gem flopped on her stomach and sighed heavily, "I'm so booooored." she said loudly.

Steven only blinked.

He was sitting up on the couch, only wearing his diaper. Amethyst reached over the counter for the bag of chips she had. She reached inside, grabbed a handful, and shoved the tasty snack in her mouth.

"Bah mah heh" babbled Steven innocently. Amethyst looked over to him and noticed that he was staring directly at her. More specifically the bag of chips she had in her hands.

"What?" she asked.

Steven had tried to point at the chips, but only waved at her. Amethyst blinked and picked up one chip. She noticed how Steven stared at it. "Want this?"

His response was a babble and clapping of his tiny hands.

She shrugged, "Meh, okay. Be careful chewing it though." But before Amethyst gave Steven the chip, she heard her name being called out rather harshly.

"AMETHYST!" screeched a voice. The purple gem winced at the sound of her voice, "What, Pearl?"

The skinny gem quickly approached Amethyst and smacked the small snack out of her hand. "Amethyst, he's just a baby! You can't feed him this kind of human food! He has no teeth yet!"

The purple gem simply rolled her eyes.

"So? You wanted me to watch him while you helped Greg shop for baby clothes for the little guy. He already wants to eat it!" Pearl narrowed her eyes, "I don't appreciate you feeding-or at least trying to feed him that. From now on only feed him baby formula that he needs."

Amethyst frowned and shoved another mouthful of chips in her mouth, "Fine." she said with her mouth open. Pearl cringed at the sight. Human food had siply disgusted her and to see Amethyst eat it made her sick to her stomach.

"And speaking of baby clothes, Steven needs to try some of these shirts out. And don't worry, all of them have stars on to represent us." Pearly slowly approached Steven and lifted him into her arms.

Baby Steven gave her a small smile. He always felt safe when around her.

Pearly carried him over to his bed, placing him down gently. She grabbed the pile of small shirts clearly for Steven to wear. "Alright Steven, you're going to try on a some shirts and see if you like it. If you like it, we can keep it. If you don't, I'll take it back to the store. Okay?"

The chubby baby babbled in response.

Pearly chuckled and reached over for the first shirt, which was a pinkish-red colored with a stars on the side of the sleeves. Steven looked at it and shook his head.

Pearl folded that shirt and reached for another one. This time it was blue with stars everywhere. Once again, the baby shook his head no. Pearl nodded and reached for another. It was red with a pink tint and a big yellow star on the front. This time Steven nodded and clapped his hands together.

That shirt was the winner.

"Excellent choice, Steven."

Pearl tore off the tag on the shirt and placed it on him. It had fit him perfectly. Steven smiled in joy and waved his arms around. "Ma! Ma!" he babbled. Pearl smiled. He looked so much like his mother.

"I love you Steven." she said quietly as she placed him on her lap.

I apologize for such a short chapter, but please bear with me on this story. I promise it will get better. If you have any ideas, don't be afraid to PM me. Until then!
