It was now the beginning of March. By this time, Amethyst's fate was completely sealed for she was now considered full-term and very likely to have her child anytime now. She knew that soon she'd have to be exanimate, at least in her gem, and join the others before her who'd sacrificed themselves. Steven was actually somewhat nervous about the upcoming birth, too, but at the same time he was looking forward to it. He could hardly wait to be a father; it was a lifelong dream of his, after all. Everybody else (including Greg's new wife Kristina Dee and her daughter Octavia as well as their twins Christian and Phaedra) was waiting anxiously as well, some more trepid than others.

Today was a rather uneventful day, at least at first. Amethyst and Steven were lying on the couch together, bored out of their minds. The violet Gem hadn't enjoyed her pregnancy all that much, since for one, she couldn't really do anything except sit around all day while expecting others to wait on her hand and foot. It wasn't like she hated being lazy; she just didn't like using being pregnant as an excuse. This was certainly no different; it didn't really help that she always seemed to be craving ramen noodles with hot sauce and chocolate (which, by far, was the strangest craving she'd ever had) but never had the energy to get it herself.

She didn't really mind all the time she spent with her lover, though. She understood very well why she loved him, and she even admired his naivety and innocence. Yes, Amethyst was very grateful to have him in her life.

"Hey, Amethyst?" the sixteen-year-old spoke up. "You wouldn't mind if I used Capri as a ramp for my dad's Hot Wheels, would you?"

"Yeah, why not?" Amethyst spoke without even giving it a thought. Anything sounded better than just lying around right now.

He proceeded to get up and leave. Just then, Roxanne came in and sat in the just-vacant spot.

"Oh, hi, Roxanne..." Amethyst muttered dazily. "I didn't hear you come in."

"You alright?" the Jennifer Lawrence lookalike that was Sadie's kid sister asked a bit concerningly.

"Yeah, I'm just bored. Steven just got up to get some of his dad's Hot Wheels to play with."

"He's going to use your tummy as a ramp, right?" The blonde teenager giggled puerilely.

"Ha ha, very funny."

"Oh, come on, man. I know you've been moody these last several weeks, but just relax. We wouldn't want to get into a panic, would we?"

Amethyst sighed a bit deeply and settled a bit more into the couch. "No, I guess not. I'm just anxious about what's going to happen next."

"I know. Tanzanite told me you were; besides, it's perfectly normal for women of your condition to feel that way."

As Roxanne had just finished speaking, Steven came back with the Hot Wheels and sat between the two girls. He placed one of the toy cars onto his beloved's bump and rolled it down, all while making car noises. Roxanne could only giggle while he was doing this, much to Amethyst's annoyance. As Steven continued to push the Hot Wheels down the pregnant Gem's stomach one by one, he was dazing off into space. Amethyst herself seemed a bit relieved that for once, her child wasn't doing flips inside its leathery egg, until...

This is such a happy moment for me. Roxanne thought as she looked on at the couple. I'd hate for anything bad to happen.

Unfortunately, not a second passed by before Amethyst started leaking between her legs and experiencing twinges throughout her insides. It didn't take long for Steven to notice this and he started panicking.

"Roxanne, get help!" Steven cried. "I think Amethyst might be going into labor!"

Dun dun dunnnnn! Join me on Chapter 12 for the birth of the baby soon! Ciao!
