The Little Bundle Of Joy
The Little Princess
"Hello?" Queen picked her phone up as it was ringing.
"Hey Queen, Silver Heart here!"
"Oh, hi grandpa! Why are you calling?" Queen asked.
"Just to inform you that the annual phantom thief competition is coming up!" Silver Heart said. "I'm sure you will win this time!"
"About that, I'm not going this year." Queen said. "Because…"
"Because of what? Are you scared of Jem winning again?" Silver Heart asked, because Queen is not likely to back down from a challenge.
"Not only me, Shadow, Jem, Rose and Ai are not going this year." Queen said.
"Why?" Silver Heart asked.
"Because uh, uh…" Queen stammered. "Jem, is… pregnant."
"What?!" Silver Heart freaked, just like everyone else. "Who's the father?!"
"Shadow is." Queen said.
"Again, Queen?" Jem moaned from the background, while drinking some water.
"Yeah, it's grandpa." Queen said.
Jem spat all her water out. "What?!"
"This is awkward." Cyan sighed, now just in some purple jeans and a white shirt that has a black skull on it, laying on the couch.
"Says the father." Ai rolled her eyes.
"So, how's the baby?" Rose asked.
"It's okay, I think it's a boy." Jem said.
"What should we name it?" Cyan said.
"You got any ideas?" Jem asked.
"Jack." Cyan smiled.
Time Skip To One Month
"You need to take care of yourself more." Queen said to Jem.
Jem's stomach got bigger by the day, which only made Cyan more nervous.
"Relax Cyan, nothing bad's going to happen." Jem said to the pacing Cyan. "It's only a month."
"I just feel like something's going to happen." Cyan said and got smacked by a cover of a sword.
"Ah! Sorry Mr Cyan!" Hachi ran and recovered the cover.
"And, there you have it." Ai said.
"Your worry is worser than King." Queen said.
"So, how's the gang?" Jem asked.
"Ruby and the others are coming back tomorrow, Luna is sick because of Lyra putting cheese in her tea." Ai laughed. "Where's Roko, anyway?"
"He's with Luna enjoying the sun." Queen said.
"Luna! You okay?!" Roko said as Luna felt sick once more.
"No, and I am going to get Lyra back for this." Luna said as she threw up in the toilet.
"So, how's it going, King?" Dump asked through a video call.
"Nothing much," King said frustrated.
"I know when you're mad, King, what happened? Is it Jem's pregnancy?" Dump asked.
"No," King declined.
"Oh, you're jealous, are you? Queen told me," Dump laughed.
"Fine, I am," King said. "I just can't get over the fact that Cyan's the father."
"Who knows? We're literally nineteen," Dump said.
"Ruby, can we leave later?! I need sleep!" Emerald pouted.
"It's only been two days!" Sapphire said.
"Yes, and one month on Earth, still, we need to drag that Phoenix guy back." Ruby sighed. "He got away again."
"Nah, he seems weird, do you think someone manipulated him? There's a disturbance." Sapphire said.
"No kidding, but we need to get back." Ruby said.
"Guys, we've got a holocall." Emerald said, pointing to the table. "The Ghost."
"Okay, Kanan, what's up?" Ruby turned on the holocall.
"Just checking in," Kanan shrugged. "And to tell you, Ezra's missing."
(That story leads to another, Twilight's Light. Read all of them)
"What?!" They yelled. "We can't go back now, we're in the middle of hyperspace!"
"I didn't ask you to come back, just informing you." Kanan said. "Let me know if you sensed something, alright?"
"Of course Kanan." Emerald said.
"Guys, talk later, we're home." Ruby said. "And I'm going to check on Jem to see if she killed Cyan already."
"King, you really need to stop spying at them." Queen said to King, who was more jealous than ever, if that's even possible.
"Don't you have better things to do?" Ai said.
"King, if you're spying, not going to work!" Cyan yelled.
"Who's calling now?" Jem moaned as she reached for the remote, because someone was calling via video.
"Hi, Jem!" The red haired princess showed up. "How's it going?"
"Oh, hi, and you are…" Jem thought hard.
"It's Princess Paparika!" Hachi yelled. "What are you doing?"
"Just checking in," She said.
"Uh, Hachi," Jem said. "Who is this?"
"You don't remember me?" The princess asked.
"Oh! Uh, Mrs Scarlet lost her memory last time," Hachi explained.
"That's why, I am the princess you saved twice!" The young princess said. "Why did she lose her memory?"
"You really don't want to know…" Queen came and said, the disk that she was holding was beeping. "Wait a second."
"Queen, how's it going?" Emerald asked.
"Haven't seen you in a while." Queen smiled.
"It's only been an hour since we last talked," Sapphire sighed.
"And, two weeks here." Queen said.
"Wow! What technology is that?!" The princess said, looking at the holodisk.
"Space ones." Sapphire said. "You are…"
"Princess Paparika?" Hachi said. "Ruler of India?"
"Last time we came back it was your parents ruling." Ruby smiled.
"Kids grow up so fast." Emerald said.
"You know my parents?" The Princess asked.
"Twenty years ago, earth time, yes." Sapphire said.
"They were smart, wise and really knew how to rule a country," Emerald said.
"Jem, are you really, really sure you can do this?" Cyan asked.
"Cyan, you seem more nervous than I am." Jem said.
"Jem, I know you're pregnant and all, but Cyan is the one freaking out." Ruby said. "And I guess Luna is still sick."
"Talk about healing spells." Rose said. "She still needs rest for her magic."
"Jem, I know about your amnesia and all," Ruby said. "With a mind trick, I can pull those memories back."
"No!" King and Cyan yelled.
"Why?" Emerald and Jem asked.
"You're scared for some reason." Sapphire said, glaring daggers at them.
"And how do you know?" King asked.
"We told you, we can sense your emotions!" Emerald said.
"That is something we need to talk later." Cyan said.
"It's strange, just… I can remember my parents, how they… died." Jem said silently.
"Anything else?" Ai asked.
"No." Jem shook her head.
