*I hope you guys have enjoyed my story so far!
But here's 10!*
Garnet has been on a long trip, she is supposed to be getting back today. She has been gone for about two weeks, and Pearl has been missing her. But, now Pearl is not so sure she wants to see Garnet. And, of course, Jade has still been hitting on her. Just not as bad as when she kissed her.
Pearl's room...
'God, I'm not ready for her to come back! What if she decides to leave me? People have done that, and I wouldn't handle it on my own!' Pearl rubbed her stomach, 'And I am NOT getting an abortion! I don't know how women can even stand killing their own child!?' Pearl was worried, she didn't want to be alone, but she didn't want to get rid of it either.
'What am I going to tell Garnet?! Oh hey, you're back! I'm pregnant!' She started pacing the floor, 'Come on! Think, Pearl! She heard a knock on her door, "Come in!" She teleported down. And the visitor was the last person she wanted to see: Jade. "What do you want?" Pearl did sound a little hateful, but she was also under a lot of stress. "Pearl, I was wanting to apologize, I've been acting out of order, and I can tell you're under some stress. Would you like to talk about it? Because in a situation like this, I think, 'What would Pearl do?' I think this because you have helped me through so much, and I'm surprised you guys haven't kicked me out of the temple!" Jade smiled, so did Pearl. She understood that Jade was trying to help.
Pearl sighed, "Jade, there are just somethings things people can't talk about." Jade gave her a look, and said, "Pearl, I'm not like Peri. I am not going to hurt you over something you say. I know you don't like me the way I like you, and that doesn't bother me anymore. And, yes, I know what I just said was mean, and he's my brother, but it's the truth, I would never hurt you like he did." Pearl hugged Jade a said, "I'm scared." Jade broke the hug, she was confused, Pearl was usually never scared. "Of what?"
"Garnet." Jade looked a little pissed, "Did she hurt you?!" Pearl answered, "No, I'm just scared she's going to leave because I was ignorant. I knew I shouldn't have let lust taken over." Jade blushed a bit knowing what 'lust taking over' is. "What do you mean? Garnet wouldn't leave you, and you are not ignorant. I don't even know why you would say something like that. Pearl..."
"I'M PREGNANT! Okay?! That's why! I'm scared she's going to leave, because of that! I was being ignorant because I forgot the condom!" Pearl started crying, Jade was shocked, she would be a little scared too, not because the person who got her pregnant left, but because Rose died giving birth to Steven. Jade held Pearl in her arms, "It's okay. Everything will be fine, and to be honest, I think Garnet will be extremely happy. Especially since she liked to hold Steven when he was younger." Pearl smiled, it was true, Garnet loved to hold Steven. She was normally the one who would rock him to sleep.
"Thanks, Jade." Jade smiled, "No problem, now, would you like to go out for ice cream? Garnet isn't supposed to be back 'til..." She looked at her watch, "Well, it's three, so we have two hours! Come on let's go! For old times sake!" Pearl agreed to go, so they left.
Ice cream shop...
"Man I haven't been here in forever!" Jade was looking around, a lot of beach city has changed. Pearl was slowly licking her ice cream, she was still emotionally tired, but she wanted to go with Jade. When Jade and Peri still lived in the temple, this was Pearl and Jade's favorite place to hang out. They would joke around, gossip, and look at cute buys together, even though Pearl preferred girls more. She had her reasons for that though. "Hey! Earth to Pearl!" Pearl came out of her thoughts and blushed, "Sorry, I was thinking of old times."
"Pearl, you want me to tell you a secret?" Pearl nodded, "I've known that you preferred girls over boys. But, I don't know your reasons, and since we're here, and I'm trying to be a friend, you might as well tell me. Plus, I'm still your best friend, whether you like it or not!" Pearl laughed, Jade used to say that when they hung out all the time, Pearl gave in, if she didn't she would soon come clean anyways, Jade has always had a way with words, and so did her brother. "Well, I.. if you read the paper, or see on the news, most of the time, someone that's raped, or molested, is usually a girl, and a guy is doing it. I guess I just see men as evil, plus, you're are more than likely to see a ugly guy than a cute one."
Jade really didn't blame her on either of her reasons, yea she had a brother, but Pearl was almost raped, by her brother! So she wanted too, and Jade kinda agreed with her. 'That plan I had is gone, I AM not going to act like my brother!'
"Jade, thanks for being here when I needed someone. I would talk to Amethyst, but she's not good with these kinda things. Oh, which reminds me, please don't say anything about ANY of this. I'll explain it all later, okay?" Jade nodded.
When they finished, Jade looked at her watch, "Shit! Pearl, come on! We need to get home, it's 4:57!" And both girls rushed home.
In the house...
"Good timing guys!" Pearl and Jade were approached by Amethyst, "It's just now five." All three girls went and sat on the coach, then Pearl got worried, "Amethyst, where's Steven?" Amethyst answered on a calm voice, "Chill, he's with his dad today. They won't be back 'til next week, thy went on a camping trip." Pearl gave a sigh of relief.
"Cool, but Pearl, that doesn't mean you can get all kinky with Garnet, at least not while me and Amethyst are here!" Pearl blushed a deep blue, and a gave Jade a dirty look, then Amethyst said, while laughing, "Yea, and I'm 100% sure I don't wanna see that again!" Pearl blushed a deeper blue, "Oh ha ha, very funny!" Jade laughed harder, "Come on, Pearl! We're just joking around!" Pearl gave a slight smile, then Garnet flashed in.
"Garnet!" All three girls shouted at the same time, "I've missed you so much!" Pearl ran up and hug her first. Garnet grabbed and spun Pearl around, while kissing her. She put Pearl down, and said, "I have something for you Amethyst, it's for Steven too, but I believe he's with his father." She pulled out a new video game and handed it to the younger girl, "Oh cool! It's the new Rising Dead 3! Man, me and Steven have dying for this game! Thanks, Garnet!" Amethyst ran off to go play her new video game, Jade was about to follow, so she could let Pearl and Garnet have some alone time, but was stopped by Garnet. "I have something for you too." Jade turned around and gasped, "I-is that... my lucky sword!?" Garnet nodded, "I thought I lost forever! Thank you so much!" She hugged Garnet and ran off to her room.
Garnet smiled a Pearl and said, "I have something for you too, but, first I want to take everyone out to dinner. That sound good with you?"
"Just as long as I'm with you. I'll go get ready right now!" And she ran off to her room, 'I can't wait until your surprise!' And Garnet walked to her room.
Pearl's room...
"Hmm... I think I'll wear a dress, just for the occasion. Plus, I've been wanting to wear this dress for some time now.' She pulled out a light blue dress, that was barely above her knees, and it was strap-less. She put it on, she did look pretty in it. 'I hope Garnet likes it.' She walked out to meet everyone at the door.
At the restaurant...
As they were walking to the restaurant, Pearl noticed she wasn't the only one who dressed up, Garnet wore a nice red t-shirt, and some black jeans, Jade was wearing a green skirt, a white blouse, and a pair of converses, Amethyst was dressed in her normal attire, "Well, if I knew we were all dressing up then I would've too!"
"It's alright Amethyst, you look fine." Pearl smiled, she was happy to have a girl night, then Amethyst just had to argue, "Easy for you to say! You freakin' amazing! Where did you get that dress anyways?" Pearl giggled, Amethyst was one to change subjects even if she was mad, "I bought a long time ago, I just never had an occasion to wear it." Garnet pulled Pearl closer and said, "You should wear it more often, you do look very beautiful."
"We're here!" Jade was the first in, she got their table, and sat down waiting. "Well you're ready to get this over with." Amethyst was joking, but Jade was a little on edge, "Um, Amethyst, can I talk to you in private?" Both girls headed towards the restroom.
"What's going on, Jade? You're kinda jumpy."
"I know, but it's because Pearl needs to tell Garnet something very important, and I wanted them to discuss it tonight, so, yea I am kinda ready to leave." Amethyst nodded and suggested they head back to the table.
It was pretty quite throughout the dinner, they would crack a joke or conversation every once in a while, but it didn't last too long, then as they were just about to leave, Garnet stopped them and said, "Pearl, would you like your gift?" Pearl nodded. Jade and Amethyst watched as Garnet was pulling a small box out of her pocket, then she got down on one knee and said, "Pearl, will you marry me?" Pearl almost screamed, "Yes!" She hugged Garnet.
Garnet put the ring on Pearl's finger, it was beautiful, a pearl stone and a garnet gem were shaped into a heart, and at the bottom, and ribbon made of gold said: I love you. Pearl gasped, "Oh, Garnet, I love it. I love you!" Amethyst and Jade were shocked and excited at the same time, "Oh my gosh, it's beautiful! Where'd you get Garnet?" Garnet told Amethyst that she had it special made for Pearl. Jade pulled Pearl over to the side, "I told you she loved you, that ring is absolutely beautiful. And now you have a surprise for her." Pearl smiled, she wasn't scared anymore, she hugged Jade and said thank you.
On the way home, Jade felt weird, but of course she was sad, Pearl was getting married, and she wouldn't be able too. Jade was going to ruin that, 'No, I'm not! I don't care what Peri said, I love her enough to let her go.' She instantly felt better.
Pearl's room...
"Garnet, I have a surprise for you too." Garnet smiled and said, "You didn't have to get anything for me, my present is for both of us."
"So is mine..." Garnet gave her a confused look, "Garnet, remember when we had our date about a month ago, well... we forgot a condom, and I-I'm pregnant. I just find out last week." Garnet looked shocked then said, "That's wonderful! I can't wait!" She grabbed and spun with Pearl again. She kissed the taller girl, "Garnet, I'm kinda scared."
"Of what?" Pearl pulled and turned away, "What if it turns out like Rose's?" Garnet put her arms around Pearl's waist, "It won't, I promise." She picked Pearl up in bridal style, and laid her on the bed, "Now, let's get some sleep."
Jade's room...
"WHAT?!"
"They're getting married, and Pearl's pregnant. Plus, I'm doing it anymore, I'm not going to kill Garnet." Peri was even more angry, "How could you have done this to me!? I thought we were to stick together through thick and thin, I thought you were sister!"
"I am, but I love her enough to let her go, and I not going to be doing your dirty work!" Then Jade ended the call, she felt relieved.
Unknown location...
"Fine, if you won't get rid of Garnet, then I will!"
