A.n.: Just to begin things… In my AU, the diamonds are not siblings and they are all almost Pink Diamond's height. Not giants like in the show. (PD is the smaller, with the same height she is on the show, YD and BD are just a little bit taller than PD and WD is just a little bit taller than Yellow and Blue).
Thanks for reading!
Yellow Diamond could not stand it anymore, actually, she couldn't believe she did it to herself. However, it is almost over and she is thanking the stars for that. She really wants to get rid of that additional weight.
"Everything for an heir, everything for an heir…" Yellow Diamond repeats to herself, while she is massaging her temples. "It is almost over." She sits on a chair. "At least I had White Diamond to help me with this. Icould not give up of my physical form. It is a good thing that two gems of the same kind can have a child without giving up the gem. It is for the future of Homeworld." Yellow Diamond keeps talking to herself, rubbing circles on her belly. The baby was moving a lot that day.
"I hope you are a strong gem. Based on the way you kick inside there, I can tell you are." Yellow stop talking with her kid when she feel twinges going through her abdomen, immobilized her for a second.
"Maybe this pain is what White was talking about. Well, I need to call him right now, I guess." She walks towards her chamber's door, open it and find her pearl walking on the hall.
"Pearl, bring White Diamond here, now!" She shouts.
"Yes, my diamond." She makes the diamond's salute and runs to find the other diamond.
Yellow Diamond returns to her chamber and sits on her bed, the contractions are stronger and faster now.
"I-I don't believe that I am gonna do this. What was I thinking? The Kindergarten project is too much easier than… ouch… t-this."
Someone knocks the door.
"Who is there?" She asks.
"Me, White Diamond." He says.
"C-come in." She says.
"Did you call me?" He asks.
"Yes, you moron. It is happening." She says, rubbing circles on her abdomen.
"Now?" White asks.
"Yes, do I need to tell you twice?" She asks.
"I am gonna bring the pearl we chose." He says.
"You should have done that already." Yellow Diamond shouts.
The other diamond runs towards the door.
"Ugh, such a moron." She says, laying down on the bed, in pain. "By the way things are going, I am gonna delivery the baby before he comes back."
The chamber's doors open, showing the pearl and White Diamond.
"Finally."
"Hello m'lady, how are we going?" the pearl asks.
"Shut up, no questions just do your job before I break you into pieces." The ruler says.
"Do you want me to stay, Yellow?" White asks.
"Ouch… y-you… are… the father after all." Yellow says, angry.
"You are ready m'lady, when I say push you do it with all your might, alright?"
Yellow Diamond nods in agreement.
"Hold my hand." White says.
Yellow accepts the offer.
"Alright, my diamond, 1, 2, 3 and push." The midwife says.
Yellow Diamond pushes with all her strength, almost poofing White Diamond.
The process continues for almost an hour. Until Yellow Diamond pushes the last time,with one final twinge of pain. It gets over and the pearl cleans the residue off the baby.
"Good job, my diamond. She is a beautiful girl." The pearl says.
"Let me see the heir." Yellow Diamond orders.
The servant gives the baby to the ruler and leaves the room.
Yellow looks at the baby and keeps staring the baby's gem for a while.
"What is wrong, Yellow?"
"She is a Peridot... a technician…" She says, slowly.
"And?" White looks at the baby's gem too.
"Are you joking? I thought my heir would be a soldier and not a technician!"
"So, she is gonna be more like me." White Diamond says, touching his daughter's cheek.
"Remember, no one can know that she was made by old ways of gem reproduction. Only me, you, our pearls and that pearl that just left can know about that. I banned that way of reproduction, the people can't know that their ruler break her own rules." Yellow Diamond says.
"She will not know that I am her father, right?"
"No one will know. And don't you dare to tell her. You will be only her tutor and that is it, nothing more than this. You will help me to train her to be a good ruler one day. Do you agree, White Diamond?" Yellow says.
"Alright, at least I am gonna stay close to her. Just go slowly, Yellow, she is just a baby." White smiles at his daughter.
"I know that." Yellow answers.
"I think it is better if I hold her now, while you rest."
"Okay. Wake me up soon." Yellow gives her daughter for the other Diamond. "Take care of Peridot Facet 9 Cut 512ZY."
"Her name is gonna Peridot Diamond and not Facet 9 Cut 512ZY. She is the daughter of two diamonds, members of the Diamond Authority."
"Whatever." Yellow answers, closing her eyes.
White Diamond sits down on a chair and looks at his daughter fondly.
"Hello, kid. I'm your father and you will never know about that. But, you don't need to be scared of being alone, I will always be by your side. Even with you not knowing who I am, I will always be there for you and I will always love you." White kisses his daughter's gem, which is situated on her forehead.
"You are unique, special and so beautiful, Peridot. Looking at you, I realize that you look like Yellow. You have your mother's hair. Good luck with that." He laughed. "You are gonna be the best gem in the galaxy and, maybe, when you become a ruler, you are going to change things around here. You know, after that war on the planet Earth, your mother changed many things around here and not everything was for the best. Maybe you can even change her too." He looks at Yellow Diamond. "I am in charge with the technology part of Homeworld. She is the one who really rules around here nowadays. When Blue Diamond was here, she could help me against Yellow's decisions, but she is not around anymore. Blue had an heir too, I wish I knew where Blue's heir is, but never mind... We have you now, my Peridot." White Diamond says, touching Peridot's cheek.
Peridot looks at her father without understanding what he is talking about, however, she smiles at him and he smiles back. He hugs Peridot, who, in a few minutes, falls asleep.
"Good dreams." White Diamond says.
