This one is about Pearl and Lapis meeting Turquoise. There will be cute Turquoise stories to follow. Enjoy!
Pearl was stunned as Lapis held their baby for the first time, smiling at their daughter despite being exhausted and disheveled from the long day. Pearl had been in a state of dread and panic since Lapis had told her the baby was about to come, certain that she would lose one of them by the time the day was over.
She had never been so happy to be wrong.
"Pearl? Is everything alright?"
Pearl nodded, snapping out of her thought. She hadn't realized that Lapis had been talking to her until she felt the nudge.
"Y-you're okay, both of you are okay," Pearl stammered, sitting down on the bed.
"That's right," Lapis murmured, kissing Pearl's gem. "I told you I'd be fine."
Pearl gazed down at the baby fussing in her gemfriend's arms. A smile grew on her face as she looked at the gem on her forehead.
"She's a Turquoise…" she sniffled.
"Yeah. Looks like we were both way off," Lapis murmured. "Here, you want to hold her?"
Pearl nodded, holding out her arms as Lapis handed their baby over. Turquoise had calmed down, and looked up at Pearl with sleepy teal eyes.
Lapis laid on her side, wrapping her arms around Pearl's waist and resting her head on her shoulder.
"Lapis, she's so small…" Pearl noted, her voice cracking as Turquoise drifted off to sleep in her arms.
"I know," Lapis yawned. "It's so weird, seeing a gem that small. She's perfect, though."
Pearl nodded in agreement.
"I was so scared," she admitted.
"I know," Lapis told her, leaning up to give her a kiss on the cheek. "You did a good job, though."
Pearl looked down at Lapis with a smile.
"So did you. You really should get some rest, though," Pearl said. "You must be tired from today."
"Can't argue that. Promise to wake me up whenever she does?"
"Of course," Pearl promised, drawing the blanket up over Lapis' shoulders. Before she was done, her gemfriend had already fallen asleep.
"Sweet dreams, Lapis."
