***Home-World Gems POV***

"WHERE IS SHE!?" Jasper yelled, she'd checked every room, every crevice, she screamed her gemling's name… nothing.

Jasper had completely wrecked the ship a few minutes after her encounter with the Crystal Gems. It'd been a whole day and she still couldn't find her baby. Pip was prone of hiding to sleep and Jasper was the only one that could find her, however, she would never hide this long and Jasper was livid. Peridot tried her best to calm her mate; but to no avail.

"Jasper we'll find her! Maybe she's still at the warp pad." Peridot said chasing down Jasper to their bedroom where she began to search threw drawers, sheets, and even the veins of the ship.

Jasper stopped searching, and with her back turned to Peridot she said "If she's still at the warp pad… they have her…" Jasper's fists tightened; she was mad. Peridot had never seen her this angry…or this hurt.

"I'm going to get Pip back." Jasper said putting on her cape, the gemlings were trying their best to keep up with both of their moms. Jasper grabbed her gem destabilizer and made her way towards the ships door.

"We can't rush into this Jasper!" Peridot grabbed Jasper's wrist, "If something happens to you we're done for. I only have 20 flask robonoids left and if the warp pad is compromised there's no way to get the gemlings and I back to Home World." Jasper understood the risk entirely, but being so clouded with grief was new to her and she'd worried herself to no end since Pip was gone. She knew what she would have done with the enemy's children, but what would the enemy do to hers?

Jasper folded her arms and looked down at her mate, "What should we do then?" Jasper asked. Peridot honestly hadn't expected her opinion to even matter to Jasper. This was new. Peridot searched Jasper's eyes, she was tired, her tangerine skin below her eyes sagged from exhaustion and stress. Her scowl was gone, though her brow was impatiently raised.

Peridot broke her trance and shook her head, "I think we should gain some leverage. The "Steven" that works for the Crystal Clods seems to be of value to them. If we were to take him we could have a trade off!" Peridot excitedly shouted.

"What if Pip is already dead" Jasper clenched her fist, she was pissed and though she hated to admit it… scared. "If she's dead already they could lie."

"I don't think they would. When I encountered the Steven at the Quartz Kindergarten's facet five he didn't tell them I was there, they spotted me. If his intentions were to kill me he would have done so when I didn't notice him. But you're right, if they've already killed my baby- I mean, Pip… then one of us will have to infiltrate to make sure she hasn't been broken."

Jasper shifted her weight onto her hip, "I'm a threat, and they know that. You'll have to go."

"No… you'll have to give me to them." Peridot melancholy said. Jasper's eyes widened at the determination. What was up this tech's sleeve?

***Crystal Gems POV***

"This makes no sense!" Pearl yelled fingering through old gem tools she'd acquired over the years, searching for something to explain a gemling.

Steven sat on the couch with Pip, she was upset, crying as she smacked her arms and legs on the fabric.

"Oh please stop crying, are you hungry?" Steven asked, Pip only stopped for a moment to observe him before crying again, "You don't eat… do you need to pee?" Pip looked at Steven, her tears streaked eyes now completely focused on him.

"Weevee?" Pip asked, she'd mistook Steven pronunciation of 'pee' as her sister Evee's name.

"So that's what's wrong! You have to weewee!" Steven happily shouted, he tried to remove the gemlings jumpsuit but she began to cry again.

"Yo, Steven, I think she's broken." Amethyst said watching tv from Steven's room, "Gotta throw her away." Amethyst laughed.

"Can you help me Amethyst? I don't know what's wrong with her." Steven said covering his ears with his hands.

Before Amethyst could reply Garnet scooped Pip up into her arms.

(Italicized words are singing)

We look for love, no time for tears

Wasted water's all that is and it don't make no flowers grow

Good things might come to those who wait

Not to those who wait too late, we got to go for all we know

Pip's tears subsided as she listened to Garnet's angelic voice, she was finally smiling. Garnet smiled as well, she handed Pip back to Steven and sat beside him.

"She's probably just missing her mothers." Garnet said adjusting her glasses.

Steven looked at Garnet, he was a bit nervous to ask a question that'd been haunting him since yesterday, "Garnet, if we have her, then… I mean, whenever we defeat something we bubble it. We're not going to do that to her… are we?" Steven was scared for Garnet's answer, he loved her, she loved him, that's why he knew that Garnet would eliminate a threat or future threat if she felt she could protect him from it.

"No, her mothers are our enemies; however, this gemling has done nothing wrong in her life. She's innocent." Garnet said as Pearl walked over with a few scrolls and articles of paper. "But don't get attached Steven." Garnet said sternly.

"Alright, I found a series of scripts from Rose's chest. The first scroll says that cross gem reproduction is only used as a last resort!" Pearl boomed with joy, "That means Home World is using last resorts to try to repopulate, they're numbered!" Pearl giddily cheered, lightly clapping her hands together.

"Um, there aren't that many of them left, why would they send who knows how many gems here?" Amethyst said now paying attention at the edge of Steven's "room".

"Whatever the reason is they must be stopped." Garnet got up and was about to walk out the door when she saw the familiar green ship they'd encountered almost a year ago. "Gems, we got trouble." Garnet said summoning her gauntlets.

Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven ran out the door to meet Garnet who was ready to fight; their weapons raised and ready. Steven carried Pip in his arms, the little gem was finally happy with him.

The ship came down to the sand, its palm opening as the circle containing Peridot and Jasper opened. Jasper and Peridot jumped down from the ship, their eyes not focusing on the three threats, but Steven.

"You need to leave this planet immediately!" Garnet yelled.

Steven watched on, however, Pip had noticed her mothers and out stretched her arms to them smiling and laughing for them.

'Be calm, she's alive, look at her. She wants me.' Jasper thought to herself.

"Give us back the prototype." Jasper said sternly, her gem destabilizer concealed under her cape.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the four other gemlings ran out of the ship to their mothers sides. Unlike Pip the other gemlings were aging normally; they were, as humans would call, 8 years old (though only being a few months old).

"Give our sister back!" Beryl yelled, she was the oldest and a bit more matured then her sisters; coming to Peridot's upper thigh.

Jasper was shocked by the sudden invasion of her gemlings but didn't let it show as she primed her gem destabilizer.

Garnet was ready for this, ready to take Jasper down once and for all.

"WAIT!" Steven yelled, "We don't want to fight you. We just want to live in peace. My mom loved everything… she… she-"

"I don't care-!" Jasper was about to yell but Peridot raised her robotic fingers to Jasper: the look of intrigue on her face.

Steven took this as his chance to finish "We could live here… all of us. We can protect Earth and then… maybe you'll see the good in the Earth!" Steven proclaimed.

Peridot and Jasper looked at one another.

"Jasper… what if… we could live here?" Peridot thought.

"The kids could stay here… we could…" Jasper thought.

"Be… together…" Jasper and Peridot both thought. Tears streaked Jasper's eyes, for the first time ever her walls came down; not for Steven, not for this world, but for her family… HER family. She'd been used her whole life. Always living for someone who could care less about her. No one ever asked what she wanted or how she felt about something; she could change that, for her kids… for Peridot.

"We don't want to fight you." Steven said, he walked towards Jasper and Peridot with Pip in hand.

"Steven no!" Pearl exclaimed, being held back by Garnet.

Steven raised Pip in his hands above his head, Pip was still infant small and frail, but she looked well cared for, her green and golden eyes narrowed in her strong mother's permanent angry scowl as she smiled.

Jasper didn't waste a moment to take her baby, turning her back to the gems she kissed Pip's cheeks and nuzzled her as the gem giggled and cried in joy.

Peridot pulled Jasper's arm downward to see her baby, she kissed her baby as well as she stroked her child's hair.

Jasper turned back towards the gems, Beryl and Evee had since climbed her shoulders, ready to fight with their mom. Kinny and Ollie sat in Jasper's hair. Pip stayed safe and sound in Peridot's arms.

"If we stay we'll need proper accomadations. We have three jaspers and four Peridots to think about." Peridot said, Steven smiled as he led them to the temple. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst still holding their weapons; the Crystal Gems were completely thrown back by Evee pointing her blaster from inside Jasper's hair.
