It's morning and the family is all reunited at the beach house watching Lonely Blade, one of Steven's favourite movies. They are having snacks and soda while they spend some good time with each other.
Lapis is sit next to Pearl with an arm around her wife's shoulders.
"What do you think?" Lapis suddenly whispers.
"About what?" Pearl whispers back.
"The movie. Swords are your thing after all." The ocean gem looks at the TV.
"I always say, this franchise has no real sword fighting in it." Pearl places her head on Lapis's shoulder with affection. "But it is a nice movie to watch from time to time." She smiles.
"I see." Lapis smiles back. "Just don't fall asleep." She giggles.
"I won't do such a-" All of a sudden Pearl stops to look at her stomach. Her face is a mix of emotions and it is all because of her kid saying hi to her.
"Are you okay?" Lapis holds her wife's hand, worried.
"Yeah." Pearl smiles. "I just felt something." She holds Lapis's hand. "Here." She places her wife's hand on her belly. "Can you feel?"
A few seconds later Lapis gasps in realization. "The baby is kicking!" The ocean gem couldn't help but feel proud.
"Is everything alright?" Steven, who was paying attention to the movie, asks his moms.
"We couldn't ignore mom's voice during the movie." Jewel laughed gently. "Were you complaining about the sword fighting techniques again?"
"Not this time." Pearl laughs. "Jewel and Steven, I have something to show you." She holds both her children's hands and place them on her belly.
It didn't take much time to see a big smile forming on Steven's face. "The baby!"
"Yes." Pearl gives him a smile.
"This kid is strong." Jewel smiles at her mom.
"Yes." Lapis says while giving Pearl a hug.
"Hey, Blue, come see this." Steven calls Blue Pearl.
"Just a moment." Blue Pearl says without looking away from the television.
"You sure like this movie." Steven walks towards the pearl to sit next to her.
"Yes. I just don't understand one thing about it." She makes a confused face.
"And what's that?" Steven asks with curiosity.
"How and why is Lonely Blade's name Lonely Blade?" She looks at him.
"Humm." Steven smiles. "That is a question." He looks at the movie for a while, but before he could tell her anything the floor starts moving like if an earthquake was about to begin.
"What is it?" Steven suddenly stands up.
"Let's leave the house." Lapis tells everyone while helping Pearl to stand up.
Once they are all on the porch of the beach house they at the sky just to find a large blue object in the shape of an arm flying down towards the beach.
"What is that?" Steven looks at the one next to him, just to find Blue Pearl with a smile on the face.
"That smile is because…?" Steven raises an eyebrow.
"It's Blue Diamond's ship." Blue Pearl says, making everyone curious about that sudden appearance.
"Why is Blue Diamond back on Earth?" Pearl takes a step forward.
"That doesn't look good." Peridot hides herself behind Jewel.
"Peridot is right. I mean all of a sudden she is showing up…" Jewel looks at the sky again.
"Wait guys." Blue Pearl takes a step forward too. "She is probably here because of me and Yellow."
"Me?!" Yellow Pearl takes a step back. "Come on… I just got back here." Yellow Pearl shakes her head.
"It can be something important." Blue places her hands on her waist.
"It better be." Yellow crosses her arms after giving a last look at Blue.
"But… What is so important to make her come all this way?" Blue Zircon looks at Yellow.
"Who knows?" Yellow Pearl shrugs.
Jewel walks towards Pearl and stops right next to her. "What should we do?"
Pearl smiles and looks at everyone. "Stay here and wait for her."
All of them nod in agreement and look at the sky to wait Blue Diamond's arrival.
When it's almost afternoon Blue Diamond's ship is seconds away from the ground.
"Let's go." Pearl tells the others while going down the stairs of the porch.
Once they are all on the sand, they watch the ship floating around to park above the ocean. After that, the hand opens up, revealing a circular glow that starts moving towards the sand just to reveal Blue Diamond herself inside her palanquin. The palanquin takes a few steps before stopping to allow the diamond to stand up from her seat and get out of it.
Once she's out, Blue Pearl walks towards the diamond. She smiles at her, receiving a smile back. With that smile from Blue Diamond, the pearl runs towards the other gem.
"Blue Diamond!" She opens her arms.
"Pearl!" The diamonds kneels on the ground.
When they were almost reaching each other for a hug, Blue Pearl stops herself. A lot of time has passed since they last saw each other that Blue Pearl almost hugged the diamond.
"Hi everyone." Blue Diamond waves.
"Blue Diamond." Blue Pearl takes a step forward. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" She asks with curiosity.
"Well…" Blue Diamond looks away, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks. This visit is not one she would normally do and not one she would admit doing.
"I am here to… you know, visit you. I wanted to know if you were all okay." Blue looks at the sky.
"We are alright." Blue Pearl smiles. "We had some hard missions involving the corrupted gems, but, besides that, everything is fine."
"That is a good thing to hear." Blue Diamond looks at the pearl. "I just came here for this. I really shouldn't be here, but I couldn't stop thinking about this." She sighs. "Now that I know that you are fine, I have to go." The diamond stands up with a smile. "I have a lot of important things to deal with back on Homeworld." She takes a deep breath. "But it's nothing that you need to worry about. It's just the usual work."
"Are we gonna meet again?" Blue Pearl asks.
"Once there is a chance." The diamond smiles. "I'll come back and spend some good time with all of you. It's a promise."
"Okay!" Blue Pearl nods in agreement. "I'll wait for that day."
"Goodbye." The diamond waves befores stepping inside the palanquin and warping back to the ship.
All the others wave back at her, saying their goodbyes to Blue Diamond as well.
"Until next time, Blue Diamond!" Blue Pearl shouts before watching the diamond leave.
Next time she looks away from the sky, she notices Steven standing next to her.
"You know." He starts. "Next time she comes, we can make up for today. We can do lots of things next time." He gives her one of his big smiles.
"That will be nice." She gives a shy smile to him.
"So, let's start planning now!" He takes Blue Pearl's hand and start their way towards town. "We can find lots of things to do with Blue Diamond."
"Okay!" Blue Pearl nods in agreement, really happy about this idea.
While they leave the others watch them until Pearl looks at Yellow Pearl.
"Looks like she didn't want to talk to you." Pearl giggles.
"Thanks my stars." Yellow hugs Blue Zircon. "When she talked about Homeworld I was wishing she wouldn't look at me."
"Well, it looks everything is going to be fine." Pearl holds Lapis's hand. "We can think about her again once she returns."
"Well, Steven and Blue Pearl are already thinking for us." Lapis gives her wife a soft laugh.
Once Blue and Steven are back it's already time for them to go to sleep. All the things they had planned were written down by Blue. That day they made lots of plans and the two were sure Blue Diamond would love it in her next visit.
