Steven Universe: The Next Generation

By. Shun Benitoite and Jaroberts251

Chapter 1

How time flies

Some people PM me to make a story about what happens when Sunni is born in her new life. So here it is what happens after the invasion. (Yes I said after the invasion so if you're new I'm warning you now this is technically the fourth story. First is The New Gem, then The New Threat, then The Invasion. So if you haven't read those yet this will be a huge spoiler.) Anyways time for book four and this time I'm having some help from my good friend, Jaroberts251.

It been ten years since the invasion and everybody was moved on to do their own person lives, Steven was still going on mission with the Gems and was soon marry to Connie at the age of 21 and now a father to his newly born daughter, Sunni Quartz Universe, Connie graduated Medical school and now is works in the same hospital as her mother,Shun and Amethyst settled down and two twin children named, Charlotte and Benoit. Peridot, Lapis, and Jasper are now living in the barn, but they made a few arrangements to make it more to their liking.

(Present day…)

"Connie come quick." said a familiar voice. "What is it Steven?" asked Connie racing down the stairs and into the living room. "She's walking." responded Steven pointing at a baby Sunni walking trying to keep her balance. "Aww that's adorable, come to mommy." said Connie reaching out to Sunni.

Sunni let out a small giggle and walk to her mom, and fell into her arms. "That's my girl." said Connie holding up Sunni in the air, making her laugh. "Yeah she's a chip off the old block." added Steven walking over and hugging them both. "Steven could you put me down I got to ask you something." suggested Connie.

Steven puts Connie and Sunni down "What is it honey." he asked. "Didn't Amethyst and Shun say they wanted the kids to have a play date today?" asked Connie placing Sunni on the floor. "Yes they did, why?" asked Steven. "Where are they?" asked a curious Connie.

Just as she asked the front door opened up and in came Amethyst and Shun each holding a kid. "Hey Connie, Steven are we late?" asked Shun. "Just a little." responded Steven. "Sorry about that but someone wanted to go for a walk." said Amethyst pointing at Shun. "Yeah sorry just wanted the kids to get fresh air." apologized Shun.

"It's fine but I don't usually have free days, because work has me busy." said Connie sitting down on the couch. "You're a doctor right?" asked Amethyst. "Guess you wouldn't know I'm usually not home." said Connie in a sad tone. Steven rubs her head "Don't worry Connie like I said hundreds of time you go save people in hospitals and I'll watch Sunni when you're not home." said Steven trying to cheer her up.

"And when you're on mission I watch our daughter." said Connie with a smile at Steven. "Anyways guys should we let the kids play while we talk." suggested Shun. Steven picked up Sunni and put her in the playpen, Shun and Amethyst did the same and put the kids with Sunni. The grown-ups sit at the kitchen table as the kids play.

"So Connie how's work at the hospital?" asked Shun. "Good we just got some new equipment and I have made lots of new friends." responded Connie. "By the way do you guys miss going on missions?" asked Connie. "What are you talking about we still go." replied Amethyst.

"Wait what about the kids?" asked Connie. "We bring them with us." said Shun. "That's dangerous." said a worried Connie. "Relax he's just playing around him and Amethyst switch off one looks after Charlotte and Benoit, while the other goes on the mission." said Steven. "Did you really think we would bring them?" asked Amethyst.

"You did try that one time but I stopped you remember." answered Shun. "They didn't need to know that." complained Amethyst. "By the way guys I never got the chance to ask but if Charlotte and Benoit are your kids how is Amethyst here? Doesn't the mother gem have to give up her physical form to bring a child to the world." asked Connie. "Yeah you guys never explained to me how you made them without us having to lose Amethyst." added Steven.

"Well that's a pretty long story are you sure you want to hear?" responded Amethyst placing her head on the table. "Yes actually I'd really like to know." begged Connie. Shun sighed "Since Amethyst doesn't want to explain it will." said Shun starting to explain.

(2 years ago...)

The gems are waiting at the hospital along with Greg for news on Connie. "How much longer is it?" asked an impatient Jasper. "This could take a while." responded Garnet just standing in place. "This has me thinking what was it like for Rose Quartz?" asked Peridot.

"She glowed into a pink light and became smaller and smaller until baby Steven was there after the light faded." responded Greg. "Wow eight years since the invasion and Sunni will finally be coming back." said an excited Lapis. "Wasn't Steven and Connie younger in that other timeline?" asked Pearl. "Affirmative" answered Peridot.

As the gems and Greg have their conversation Shun is thinking stays quiet and lost in thought. "Shun what are you thinking about?" asked Amethyst being the only person to notice. Shun broke his trance "Nothing much jus…." said Shun but the door opened to the room in front of them. Steven walked out wearing a blue robe, hat, and blue mask to cover his mouth "Okay guys you can come in." said Steven walking back inside the room.

The gems and Greg follow him back inside room. They see Connie holding a tanned skinned baby girl, with pink curly hair and is a sleep. "Guys I'd like to to officially meet Sunni Quartz Universe." said Steven taking her from a sleepy Connie. "Any of you want to hold her?" asked Steven to the Gems and Greg.

"I'd like to hold my granddaughter." said Greg walking up to Steven. Greg held her and began to tear up "My little man became a father today and it because of you Sunni." said Greg still holding Sunni. "Anybody else?" asked Steven. Jasper was to worried making her cry, Lapis and Peridot were nervous, so Garnet decided she would carry her next.

Greg hands her Sunni and she looks at her small face. "Hey there Sunni nice to meet you again." said Garnet. Almost immediately after baby Sunni smiled in her sleep. "Look Garnet you made her smile." said Connie in a sleepy voice.

Next up was Pearl and she fell in love with baby Sunni "It's just like holding Rose." said Pearl in excitement hugging Sunni. "Okay Pearl it's my turn I'm worried she reminds you to much of Rose." said Shun reaching in for Sunni. Pearl holds her for a little long and then hands her to Shun. "She looks like her parents, wish you guys the best of luck." said Shun holding Sunni.

"Thanks we'll do our best." said Steven answering for himself and Connie. Shun looks to Amethyst "You want to hold her to?" he asked. "Yeah why not." she responded grabbing on to Sunni and looking at her small chubby face. "She looks happy holding Sunni maybe?" thought Shun holding his necklace.

"Sunni can wait till I teach you how to do cool things." said Amethyst with a smile on her face. "Okay guys thanks for waiting but Connie needs to rest now so we'll be back at the Temple in about a week." said Steven taking back Sunni and placing her in a small bed. With that Greg offered the Gems back a ride to the Temple and they all accepted except for Shun and Amethyst who wanted to walk home.

(Road to Beach city...)

"So why did you want to walk back to the Temple?" asked a curious Amethyst. "I wanted to tell you, remember that day the gems were making a joke on how the future would be different?" asked Shun. "Yeah and afterwards we tied them up and froze them in place." responded Amethyst starting to bust out in laughter. "That was good but remember after that when you said something like when we get there we'll figure it out?" asked Shun.

"Yeah but I don't see what that has to do with ooohh." responded Amethyst figuring out what he's getting at. "Yeah so you figured it out?" asked Shun. "I know we've 'had fun before' but if we did I'll end up just like Rose." said Amethyst in a sad tone with air quotes using her hands. "Thing is I don't want to lose you too so I have an idea." said Shun trying to cheer her up. "Okay but mind going over this idea with me?" asked Amethyst. Shun rubs her head "You'll have to wait till tomorrow." he responded.

(Next Day...)

Pearl, Peridot, Amethyst and Shun are at the barn. "You want us to do what?" asked Peridot and Pearl in unison. "Can you two use the tech from the injector drills to make a child for me and Amethyst." repeated Shun. "Woah that's what you were thinking?" asked Amethyst.

"Yeah it seems like a good idea to me." responded Shun. "Even if we could make it how would we even get it to work?" asked Pearl. "Easy they use gem dna so just mix our dna together." responded Shun. "Where would you get the materials for it?" asked Peridot.

"Can't you use one of the three ships from the invasion?" asked Shun. "Now that you mention it we could you that material." said Peridot trying to be obstamic. "I get where he's coming from Rose wanted to be here for Steven but she is only a part of him, but I want to be here for my kid." said Amethyst wanting to go threw the plan. "If you guys really want this we could try, but honestly we're not a hundred percent that this will work." said Pearl wanting to try for them.

Shun and Amethyst look towards each other and nod "Yeah let's do it." they said in unison. For two months they worked on the machine and the other gems helped to not letting Steven and Connie know since they have there hands full with Sunni.

(Two Months Later...)

"Okay it's done but you're going to need nutrients to make it work." said Peridot telling them how to start it. "What type do we need?" asked a curious Shun. "You're going to need sand, ice, and stone." answered Pearl for Peridot. "That should be easy we live on a beach." said Amethyst.

"I can provide the ice, and I think I know who can provide the stone." said Shun knowing a way. "I see Garnet and Lapis is that right?" asked Peridot. "What do they have to do with this?" added Amethyst. "Lava and Water can make one of two things stone, or water and we happen to have a gem that can swim in lava and one that can control water" responded Shun."Yes so I'll ask them to help well you two get the sand and we can begin." said Pearl at both Shun and Amethyst. They work their hardest for about about an hour to get the materials ready. Lapis and Garnet make stone as Shun and Amethyst scoop up lots of sand.

(One hour later...)

"Okay i think we are ready to try the experiment." said Peridot ready to start. "Everyone get ready this is the first time testing it so i could explode." said Pearl pushing the button to start it. "Wait it could what?" asked a worried Lapis. They machine went off and a blinding bright light emulated from it as it began to activate.

Garnet stood there covering her eyes with her arms for how bright it was. Shun and Amethyst held each other's hands and were a bit worried if it would work or not. Peridot and Pearl stood there to make sure it didn't blow up, and Jasper was away on a mission so thats why shes not here.

After a few moments the light stopped shining and everyone was waiting for Pearl or Peridot to say if it was a success. "So did it work?" asked a worried, and curious Shun. They stayed in silence for a moment then Pearl responded. "Congratulations you two are parents to a healthy baby girl." She said with a smile picking her up and summoning a towel to cover her. Shun and Amethyst walk over to see their daughter and Pearl hand her over to them.

Amethyst held her first "Look at that hair beautiful hair she got it from her mother." joked around Amethyst. Shun rubbed her head "Yeah as white as snow." he responded. Amethyst hands him the baby next "What should we call her?" asked Shun holding the baby who almost started to cry but calmed her down. "I don't know what do you guys think?" asked Amethyst to the other gems.

"You didn't come prepared?" asked Peridot. "Sorry we had to get materials for over an hour." argued Amethyst. "I got it how about Charlotte." suggested Garnet. "Good name but…" said Shun walking over to the machine.

Shun looked over at the machine and was surprised what he found "Pearl could you summon me another towel out?" he asked. Pearl summoned one out "Okay but why?" she asked curious. Shun places the towel on the bottom of the machine and picks something out of it. "What did you find?" asked a curious Peridot.

When Shun turned over to them he was holding a baby boy with light purple skin and light brown hair "Looks like we got two." he said walking over to Amethyst. "How are there two babies Peridot?" asked a curious Lapis. "I don't know this is the only time this machine was used." responded Peridot. "I guess you two are now parents with two kids instead one." said Pearl trying to make light of the situation.

Shun hands Amethyst the baby boy "So what do you think of him?" asked Shun. Amethyst starts to cry and looks at Shun "He has my purple skin, he is a part me, and you sing he's perfect." she replied. "Did you think of a name for him?" asked Shun. "You can pick this time." suggested Amethyst.

"Well let's call him Benoit but it will be Ben for short." said Shun still holding Charlotte. "Okay we'll it looks like we have two children now this is gonna be a bumpy ride." said Amethyst with a little joke. Garnet places a hand on both of their shoulders and said, "It will be hard at first but we're going be here to help and you have Steven who'll know what to do." said Garnet wishing them luck. All the gems gave them a good luck and they began to raise there kids.

(End Flashback…)

"And that's how it all got started." said Shun done explaining. "That was beautiful story." said Connie tearing up abit. "Guess it was but we started off bad and now we know what we're doing." said a confident Amethyst. "I remember one day you guys walked in carrying them both in and I was so confused." said Steven trying to remember.

"Right, it's was the day after the kids were born and I remember only answers these are our kids." responded Shun. "I know we've meet them already but congratulations on your two children." said Connie with a warmth smile. "It's cool anyways Sunni has been liking to play with." said Amethyst looking over at the kids playing. "So how much percent gem are they?" asked Steven.

Amethyst looks at Shun to answer because she is unsure "They're 50% human and Gem." he answered. "Wait wouldn't they be 75% gem and 25% human?" asked Connie doing the math. "No I asked Peridot so they can be like Steven live a normal life if they want or fight monster." responded Shun. "Besides there like the next Crystal Gems aren't they?" asked Amethyst.

"We'll let them pick when they're older." added Shun. "That's what any Parent should do let their child be whatever they want." said Steven. "Besides they'll be older before you know it." added Connie. "Yeah just like you guys." said Amethyst pointing at them.

(Eleven Years Later…)

All the Gems and the kids are gathered in the living room except for Connie,who was at work. "So kids you're probably wondering why we brought the three of you here." said Garnet starting the conversation. The kids sat on the couch and were wondering why were they there. "Are we having a family meeting?" asked Sunni.

"No" answered Garnet. "Are we going on a vacation?" asked Charlotte. "No" answered Garnet again. "Oh are we in trouble for…." asked Benoit but got his mouth covered by both Sunni and Charlotte.

"No but what did you do?" asked a curious Shun. "Nothing dad it was nothing." responded Charlotte trying to hide something. "Anyways Steven do you want to do the honors?" asked Pearl. Steven nodded and stood in front of the kids.

"Kids you've probably noticed weird things happened in this house, and how some of you have different color hair or skin then everyone else in town." said Steven. "Yeah I've noticed that and speaking of which dad why do me and you have our bellybuttons bejeweled?" asked a curious Sunni. "Dad answer that for us two Ben has it on his chest and mine on the back of my right arm?" added Charlotte.

Shun touched Steven on the shoulder telling him he'll explain it. "Okay the bejeweled part of your bodies aren't jewels they are called gems and they belong to a being known as Gems and they can help you summon weapons, fuse, and even do magic." responded Shun explaining to them. "Wait magic is real?" asked a shocked Benoit. "It can't be possible." answered Sunni.

Shun's gem on his left hand started glowing and out came his sword, immediately after his gem on his right hand started glowing and he held his right hand up and snow started to fall from it. "Woah" all three kids said in unison. Steven let's out a small smirk and summons out his shield "Yeah all of us can do it even you guys." he said. "That's so cool why haven't you'll told us about this sooner daddy?" asked Sunni with her eyes filled with stars.

"We need you to be old enough to understand." answered Pearl. "What did we need to be old enough for?" asked Ben. "To see if you want to or not." responded Amethyst. "Want to or not what?" asked Charlotte. "Become part of the Crystal Gems or stay as normal human." answered Garnet.

"I still don't see why you don't make them do it?" asked Jasper. "Human like to choose for themselves." answered Peridot. "That it's what it means to be human." added Lapis. "Guys they still have to answer." said Shun interrupting their conversation. "So Sunni, Charlotte, Ben what do you say do you want to be a Crystal gem or live the rest of your lives like normal humans?" asked Steven extending his hand out to them.
