"Ok, this is where I draw the line!" Connie snapped as she held Sunni in one arm. It was Christmas Day and she had been dealing with weird presents for Sunni all day from the gems. pearl gave something semi reasonable- a sweater. Garnet's was pretty reasonable to as it was a teddy bear though it was a patchwork one. Amethyst got her copies of Lil' Butler. Lapis panicked when she couldn't figure out what to give and just ended up giving her a bucket of shells, and Jasper...well that was the current issue.

"I don't see what the issue is," Jasper said with arms crossed.

"YOU'RE GIVING HER A SWORD!" Connie shouted, holding up the present for emphasis. "She's two young for that! Where did you even get this?!" To be honest it was less of a sword and more like a large dagger.

"So? You had a sword when you were young," the quartz reasoned.

"I was twelve! She's barely a year old! There's a difference," Connie said in exasperation.

"And most gems have weapons from the day they're born," Jasper continued, "Besides it looks like she likes it." Sunni was reaching for the small sword in her mother's other hand. Connie then set it on a table before walking back to Jasper.

"Yes but she's not a gem, at least not entirely anyways," she continued, "She's too young for something like that! She could seriously her herself!"

"That's a risk no matter the age," the orange gem argued, "You do realize that gems on homeworld have hurt themselves with their own weapons as well. Besides, I never suggested you train her to sword fight right now! If you don't want her to learn, then you don't have to let her. I only gave it in case she ever wanted to in the future."

"You know, she has a point," Steven piped up. With one look from Connie he quickly backed out of the conversation again.

It was then that Peridot walked into the room proudly carrying her present. It had taken her a while to find it amidst all the other items she was keeping in her storage area. "You didn't have to give it to her now though!" Connie continued, "She could have used a lot of other things like actual toys for babies!"

"Oh what am I supposed to do? Go to the store and buy something with all the money I don't have?!" Jasper snapped, "If you haven't noticed, I'm a GEM! We don't exactly have bank accounts!"

Connie let out a long sigh as she tried to calm down. She knew Jasper meant well, but that didn't make this gift any less of a bad idea. "You could have carved something, or maybe gotten something from Amethyst," Connie reasoned, " My point is, there's a lot you could have done instead. You don't see Peridot trying to give her a home made chemistry set."

At that Peridot stopped, her eyes going wide. She then stuck her present behind her back and began to sheepishly back out of the room. Connie turned to her and looked at her in shock. "You didn't,…" she quietly said.

"Well…" Peridot started, "I wasn't exactly expecting it to be put to use for a couple years…"

With that, Jasper let out hardy laugh and Connie's hand connected to her forehead. "That's it, " she grumbled as she went to sit back down, "I give up."

Hey guys! Merry Christmas! Also sorry this took so long. I wanted to save this one for Christmas. Also, I've been having trouble thinking of ways to have the home world gems interact with an infant. I've been thinking of expanding the one-shots into when Sunni's a child. Do you guys think that's a good idea? let me know!
