Lapis opened her eyes, the room and ship were more brighter than the last time. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her mind snapped when she remembered about the eggs.
"You're finally awake." Peridot greeted. Lapis turned her head to see Peridot with the two eggs, making her relieved. Peridot turned her attention to the eggs again. Lapis stared at the cyan and blue green eggs. She couldn't believe she carried and birthed those eggs. Lapis sat down next to Peridot, viewing the eggs more closer.
"Still in shock, huh?" Peridot chuckled, picking up the cyan egg. Lapis didn't respond. She still needed to process this.
"I can't believe these eggs are ours." Peridot said. Lapis nodded.
Lapis slowly touched the egg in Peridot's detached fingers, the shell was really smooth and soft. Peridot stroked the egg with a small smile. Lapis grabbed the other egg from the blanket. She stared at the egg, a slow smile appeared on her face. Lapis stroked the egg, looking at it's features.
"It's beautiful. Isn't it?" Peridot spoke, putting back the egg she had. "Yeah." Lapis responded. Peridot planted a kiss on Lapis' cheek, heat rising on the two gems' cheeks.
"I'm sure we can wait long enough for these eggs to hatch." Peridot said. Lapis nodded then put the blue green egg with the cyan one. Lapis was still shocked, the ocean gem couldn't believe her and Peridot were parents. Peridot then thought about Jasper's reaction to the eggs. Will she smash the eggs? Will she contact Yellow Diamond and tell her about them? Or will she just forget about it? The questions ran through Peridot's mind, only the last question gave Peridot doubts that Jasper will just pretend there's gemlings on board.
"You're worried, aren't you?" Lapis asked, breaking Peridot's thoughts. "Yes." Peridot sighed.
"...what are we gonna do?" Lapis asked her. Peridot shrugged, "I don't know. It's gonna be hard to keep them a secret."
Lapis sighed, then leaned on her lover's shoulder. Peridot softly combed Lapis' hair with her fingers, thinking about what to do with the two eggs. "Good thing the eggs hatch in a month, until then we can think about what to do." Peridot stated. She lifted Lapis' chin with a smile, making Lapis pleased. Peridot leaned down to kiss Lapis. Both enjoying this alone time before the gemlings arrive.
Peridot kept on checking the eggs' life form. It already had been a month since the eggs were born. The data of the eggs were fine, but that didn't stop Peridot checking up on them every fifteen seconds. Lapis came in the room, seeing Peridot close by the eggs and biting her fingers.
"You okay?" Lapis giggled. Peridot didn't realize Lapis was in here, her attention was still on the eggs. Lapis placed her head on Peridot's triangular hair, looking at the eggs.
"It has already been a month, shouldn't the gemlings be here!" Peridot hissed. Lapis chuckled and sat down next to the impatient gem.
"Don't worry Peri, they'll come out soon."
"But how long? What if they can't-" Peridot questioned, her worries rising. Lapis cut her off with a kiss on the lips, shutting up the angry gem tech. Peridot eventually gave in to the kiss and wrapped her robotic arms around Lapis. The ocean gem smiled, feeling the warmth of Peridot's lips press onto hers. Soon a cracking sound got Peridot's and Lapis' attention right away. The two gems parted from each other and looked over to the eggs, the cyan colored egg was hatching.
"TH-THEY'RE HATCHING!" Peridot exclaimed. Lapis grinned and watched her daughter hatch out of the egg. "Do we have to do anything?!" Peridot questioned.
"No. Just stop worrying." Lapis grabbed Peridot's arm, bringing her closer to the blanket which had the eggs in it. Peridot gulped as she watched the egg slowly crack in half.
"Are you sure we shouldn't do anything?" Peridot interrogated. "Nope." Lapis answered, calm.
Peridot felt sweat drip from her face, she was really worried about the eggs. The egg soon cracked, revealing a cyan colored gemling. Her hair almost represented Lapis' hair, only the gemling had a small mohawk on the middle of her back head. The gemling's mouth was similar to Peridot's, and her eyes were green. The gem was located on her forehead, again just like Peridot. Though she did have hands and feet, much like Lapis.
The gemling looked up to see the two bigger gems with shocked and loved expressions. Lapis tried to say out words, but she was too surprised.
"...she's so...small." Lapis finally manged to say. Peridot lightly touched the gemling, only making her able to grab Peridot's finger.
"H-hey." Peridot said, playfully. She scooped up the small gemling and looked at her. "She's so precious." Peridot murmured. Lapis smiled then heard the other egg crack. The blue green egg cracked sideways, then revealing a hand. The gemling slowly pushed herself out and tumbled out of the egg. She was the same color as her egg, blue green, and this time her hair was like Peridot's. Though she had her hair sticking out from the sides of her hair like Lapis and her sister. The gemling had blue eyes, rather than having green eyes like her sister and Peridot. Her gem was located on her back.
The gemling looked a bit fussy and tried to get comfy in the maroon blanket. Lapis chuckled then picked up the gemling. "You're stubborn like Peri." Lapis said, hugging her daughter.
"That's a good thing." Peridot smirked in victory. Lapis giggled and hugged Peridot. "We should give them names." Lapis suggested. Peridot nodded, then looked at the cyan gemling she had in her lap.
"Let's call this one after her color." Peridot recommended, nuzzling her with one of her fingers. "Sure. She'll be named Cyan Peridot Lazuli." Lapis said, Peridot raised an eyebrow. "Why Peridot Lazuli?" She asked. Lapis shrugged with a smile, "It fits with Cyan." Lapis claimed. "Okay then, Cyan Peridot Lazuli it is." Peridot huffed in defeat.
"Let's call this one a human name!" Lapis boasted. "Why?" Peridot questioned. "Because we don't wanna call her blue green." Lapis retorted.
"You're right." Peridot said. "Let's call her Dootzie." Lapis smiled, Peridot nodded with a 'okay' expression on her face. "We should give her like what we gave her Cyan." Peridot suggested. "Well we can't have hers Peridot Lazuli to so...how about Dootzie Peri Lazuli?" Lapis implied.
"But that's the same thing as Peridot Lazuli." She pointed out. "But hers is Peri." Lapis debated. Peridot groaned then crossed her arms in defeat. "Fine. Dootzie Peri Lazuli." Peridot snorted as Lapis chuckled.
"Stop being so childish." Lapis kissed her cheek, making Peridot blush.
Peridot smiled then hugged Lapis. The gemlings slept on their mothers' lap while they watched over them.
A\N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Stay tuned for the next one!
EDIT: I changed Victoria to Dootzie, because it sounds more cuter
