Thank you guys for being patient! As I said I upload Friday-Sunday for two particular stories (Nerdy and the Jock; and Imperfect Two). Follow me on Tumblr to ask questions. My username is or somethingdeepandinspirational.

Jasper woke up to several of her gemlings crawling on her. Peridot wasn't anywhere to be seen, Jasper swiped her children onto the floor as she stood, her youngest daughter wasn't there; she looked around between the other five gems, nothing, her baby wasn't there.
Finally a weird tug behind her ear startled her as the little gem slept in a knot she's made in her mother's hair.

"Crafty little thing huh?" Jasper retrieved the peritot from her hair and cradled her in her forearm, from her dreamy haze she thrashed around, her little three fingered hands in fists. Jasper carried the little one and walked to her bedroom, Peridot was still asleep. Jasper walked over to Peridot's side, she was curled up in the fetal position, her visor was off and her pillow was covered in tears.

"Peridot wake up" Jasper nudged her lover's cheek, nothing. After minutes of prodding and swats from Peridot, Jasper finally put the tiny green and orange peritot onto Peridot's face; she was sleepy too but couldn't resist sucking on Peridot's fingers and clutching her mother's hair.

Peridot opened her eyes, her daughter's green and golden eyes shining into her own. Peridot scooted away from the baby, examining it from a far: Her once dull lifeless body was full of energy, her green naked body was mushy with baby fat, her three little fingers balled angrily in fists, her orange streak in her hair was longer than the foam green/blonde hair she still wore down.

"Is that…" Peridot scooted closer to the little gemling, reaching her hand out to stroke her cheek.

"Pip" the little gem yelled, her frown turning into an awkward smile as Peridot scooped her up to her breast.

"Yeah, I told you she'd fight through it." Jasper was tired, energy swapping was rare amongst gems; she'd only learned of it after the first war on earth, but she didn't want Peridot to know. If Peri knew she'd worry and that's not something Jasper wanted.

"Why does she have orange? She's a peridot." Peridot lifted the orange streak of hair.

"I am their sire… she was bound to inherit something from me." Jasper evaded.

"Hm… where are the other ones?" Peridot got out of bed, carrying the tiny gemling between her breasts.

"Other room, they're playing" A glass broke in the other room as the two turned to look at the door. Jasper got up and walked out the door.

"Whose in here breaking shit!?" Jasper voice boomed. Peridot could hear several pips and growls; as she walked out the gemlings were all pointing to one another. Jasper stood with her hand on her hip, glaring at her children.

"One of you better confess or all of you are getting your asses beat." Jasper summoned her crash helmet. The peritots were quick to gasp in shock, they both looked at each other and pointed to one specific jaspercub; the recent one. Beryl was quick to defend her sister and pointed to one of the peritots that had a green mark trailing from her bottom lip to her chin.

Jasper walked over to her kids and squatted before them. "Beryl… you're the oldest… who did what?" Jasper respectfully spoke to her daughter, tears filled Beryl's eyes as she looked at her mother, her head fell forward as she pointed to herself. Her shoulders jumped up and down as she coughed back sobs. Her gem was in the same spot as her buff mom so there was no snot but plenty of drool.

"Why did you lie?" Jasper asked, her crash helmet disappearing. Beryl shrugged, her head still hung low.
The jaspercub Beryl defended grabbed her sister's hand, standing side by side with tears filling her eyes, she pointed to herself. The peritot that had the green stripe on her lip grabbed the new jaspercub's hand and unlike the other two didn't cry but glared at her sisters. Jasper looked at the peritot that looked like Peridot; she stood in the cross armed as she glared at her mother.

Jasper smirked at her kids, "Go fix what you broke." The gems looked at each other and back to their mom. "NOW!" Jasper yelled, standing up she towered over her children, they scrambled to retrieve the tiny pieces of the glass vase they'd broken, Jasper didn't really care about the vase, as a matter of fact she was happy, they'd stuck together and worked as a unit; well, most of them.

The peritot that refused to stand by her siblings still stood with her arms folded.

"So you're the one I'm gonna have to break…" Jasper crouched in front of her daughter, her daughter just glared up to her mom. Jasper summoned her crash helmet.

"You wanna try to over throw me?" The gemling turned to look at her siblings who were using one of Peridot's robonoids goo to repair the vase. She looked at her mother; rotating her arm so that her hand faced the vase, she smiled at her mother before summoning her hand canon. The barely potent beam destroyed the vase. Jasper looked at the debris and back to the peritot who proudly blew the smoke away from her gun.

"Wonder where she gets that attitude from" Peridot was letting the youngest peritot nurse.

"I like this one… I'll name this one." Jasper picked up her daughter who flailed angrily in her mother's grasp, after she settled Jasper stared into her black orbs, "Evee, for Evening Emerald" The gemling swung her little leg to kick her mother before Jasper put her down.

"What's wrong with your children?" Peridot asked walking to Jasper.

"I didn't pop them out." Jasper rubbed the new peritot's head; she was still nursing off of Peridot.

"You popped them in so yeah, you kinda did." Peridot glared, the peritot she was holding burped and fell asleep. Peridot was struggling to put her top back on and hold the gemling; Jasper walked over and took the peritot, she fixed Peridot's top, wrapping her arms around her to adjust the back.

Peridot's cheek grazed Jasper's forearm, as Jasper finished straightening her wife's top their eyes met.

"Jasper…" Peridot said her mouth slightly open. Jasper rubbed Peridot's cheek placing a small kiss to it.

"Peri…" Jasper hugged Peridot, her toned frame smothering the woman with her embrace. Jasper placed a kiss in Peridot's hair, moving down she kissed her gem, her cheek and her neck, sucking the tender flesh.

"Jasp- t-the gemlings" Peridot moaned. Jasper turned to see the children all asleep in a pile on top of Evee.

"They're asleep" Jasper trailed her hand down Peridot's back. Jasper pulled away from Peridot and walked to the couch, she put the tiny orange and green peritot into the crib she'd made and put the other gemlings onto the couch.

"Estimate time of awakening." Jasper said, Peridot scanned the children and pressed several buttons on her screen.

"20 minutes if we hurry." Peridot closed her log, before she could react Jasper picked her up and carried her to their room.

"Let's do this" Jasper growled.
