Author's Note: Well, it looks like all new episodes of Steven Universe have been postponed 'til July, so I guess we'll have to wait quite a while for season 2 to air. Hmm, I guess I could start working on Young and Beautiful sometime in June or the month after that while I'm in Vegas. (Yes, I will indeed be going there in July.)

"But wait, Voltalia!" you might be shouting right now. "Aren't you working on that Rose Quartz fanfic too?"

Just relax, guys. I'll get to Destiny's Child And Her Bridegroom when I get some time off from driving school. Or maybe I'll get to it when I'm not so goddang lazy. Man, it sucks transitioning from a teenager to an adult!

Anyways, I hope everybody enjoys!

Amethyst was struggling to breathe. After her lover Steven had just come into her sights, she started kissing him and running her hands over him. She knew that other people could be watching, but she just didn't care.

"Whoa." was the first thing to come out of the sixteen-year-old boy's mouth. "I really appreciate the gesture, Amethyst. Honestly, I do. But I wasn't expecting a whole lot of kisses."

"I know, babe." Amethyst smiled mischievously.

"You wouldn't..." Steven began to say before abruptly pausing. He soon resumed, "...mind if I grabbed 'hold... would you?"

He had always found her butt to be pretty nice, and she was more than welcome to let him see it as much as possible. Her half-human mate placed his hands, with Amethyst's guidance of course, just barely near her rear and started to draw her towards himself. Amethyst felt her smile stretch out as she felt a bulge in his pants.

Suddenly, Amethyst seemed to remember what she was supposed to be doing and desperately freed herself from Steven's arms.

"Amethyst?" her mate asked out of confusion. "What's wrong? Don't you like this?"

"Yeah..." the violet Gem replied. "But first, I need to get something out of the way."

"Go ahead." Steven prompted on, curious to know what she was going to say.

Amethyst let out a long sigh before she said, "Steven... I'm pregnant."

The sixteen-year-old now found himself in a bit of disbelief and paralyzed with the sort of fear that only the young'uns of this world could truly experience from anticipating the future. He had been the only real person to have made love with her (Amethyst's sexual fantasies of the long-deceased Roman Emperor Tiberius and his great-nephew Caligula did not count), so of course he was the father. It took about three minutes for this life-changing news to sink in before he finally found the courage to speak again.

"You have no idea how horrified I am right now..." he began to speak at last. "...but at the same time, I'm so very happy that we'll be a family..."

Amethyst laughed nervously a bit before sighing a breath of relief. She then said, "Tanzanite and the others pretty much reacted the same way... so now what?"

"What do you mean?" her mate asked once again.

"Are you going to be there for me? Every step of the way?"

"I sure will. Why do you ask?"

"It's just... most girls I know of that are like me... they end up by themselves."

"I'm not about to leave you alone, Amethyst. You've been one of my very best friends since the beginning. It just wouldn't be right."

Author's Note: By the way, I found Star's anniversary gift to me hilarious. (If anyone's wondering, it's an MST of that story Aerial Choreography that somehow played matchmaker.) Yes, old sport, you make such a fine comedian. Now if we can work out something in the real world... well, love will find a way. Oh, yeah, one more thing: may Maya Angelou rest in peace.
