Hello everyone. I've decided to be a little more generous today and give you all another chapter.

Please enjoy.

Chapter 38: Old Spark

Today at the barn things were going pretty well. The Alpha Crystal Gems didn't have a monster to deal with again, so they all pitched in to help keep the barn in tiptop shape. Prism used the mow to create new rows of dirt for the food, Lightning planted the seeds, Magenta gathered some corn from the fields, Bismuth was using the tractor again with a few new adjustments she added such as a bigger blade to cut the grass more smoothly, and Peridot was cleaning up the barn from the inside.

Lapis was still going through her side effects of pregnancy, but it looked like her vomiting had stopped, but then some new unexpected ones started to come in. After Prism was done using the mow and wiping off his forehead of sweat he went to put the instrument away until he noticed Lapis crying.

"Lapis, what's wrong?" He asked, deeply concerned. "I don't know. I just feel very sad all of a sudden." She replied, wiping the tears from her eyes. Prism held her closely while slowly rubbing her back, "Hey it's alright, I'm here." He added gently. She suddenly pushed him away from her before staring at him with firm eyes, "How can you be so calm right now?! I'm suffering and you're not the least worried about me?" She added.

Prism was shocked to hear this from her before he raised his hands up nervously. "I am, Lapis. Please calm down, we're here for you. Whatever you need I'll give it to you." He added, nervously. She took in a deep breath before opening her eyes. "I'm sorry. I think my mood swings are kicking in. I'm also craving some pineapple right now for some reason." She said while slowly rubbing her stomach. "It's okay. It surprised me, but I understand. I'll be right back okay." He replied before going inside the barn to grab his jacket and wallet.

There were certain foods that he and the others couldn't grow on the farm, so going to the store was the second option. Lapis went with him due to wanting to get away from the barn for a while, which Prism allowed. The baby didn't start growing yet, so Lapis could still move around a lot if she needed to.

As the two left while telling the others where they were going, Prism and Lapis walked through the streets while holding each others hands. They've started to do this for fun because they enjoyed the feeling. Unfortunately when they made a turn around the next corner Prism noticed a familiar face. It was a little boy with blonde hair at the top of his strange head, a white sweater, a periwinkle shirt tied around his neck, and red footie pants.

"So, we meet again, Onion." Prism said with narrow eyes while staring at him. "Onion?" Lapis asked with a confused faced. "This little guy is always getting into trouble and doing all kinds of mischief." Prism explained. "Oh." Lapis replied.

Onion just stared at them which made Lapis feel very uncomfortable before he used his hand in a "come here" motion. Not what he wanted to say, Prism released Lapis' hand before getting on one knee to see what he wanted. Then in a instant, Onion grabbed his goggles and pulled them off of his head before running away. Lapis was surprised by this just as Prism was before they chased after him. "Hey! Give me back my goggles!" Prism yelled in anger.

Onion kept on running and never stopped until he went into a house garage with Prism and Lapis not far behind. "Onion! Give me back my goggles or I'm gonna..." Prism said as he and Lapis entered into the garage. "...whoa...what is this place?" He finished when he noticed pictures of Amethyst. "*heavy breathing* Prism. Could you not run so fast? I don't think I've ever ran like that before." Lapis implied as she appeared next to him before noticing their surroundings.

"I think Amethyst might have a admirer." Prism said as he and Lapis observed the paintings. "It definitely looks that way." Lapis replied.

"Who's in there?!" A female voice called out behind a curtain. "Look, I don't know how you got past that tarp, but this is private property!" The voice added as it came out of a middle-aged woman that appeared from the curtains holding a shotgun.

"Whoa! Ma'am, we don't want any trouble. Please put the gun down and we can talk about this." Prism said as he and Lapis held their arms up in the air. "Wait a second. Prism?" The woman asked as she lowered her weapon. "How do you... Vidalia?!" He replied in shock. Both then grew smiles before hugging each other and sharing a laugh before separating.

"Wow, look at you. You still look just as cute as ever." Vidalia said, pinching Prism's cheeks a bit before stopping. "And look at you. You're so..." Prism replied while trying to find a proper word for how Vidalia looked. "Old?" She asked with a grin. "No, no. Well, yeah but you still look amazing as ever." He countered. Vidalia began to laugh again before she calmed down and sighed. "Still the sweet talker, huh?" She asked. "I've gotta be respectable to everyone around me." He replied with a smirk.

"Uh, what's going on here? And do you know her Prism?" Lapis asked in complete confusion. "Oh, right sorry. Lapis this is Vidalia, another friend of mine from my early years with my dad. And Vidalia, this is Lapis Lazuli, my girlfriend." Prism replied, giving out introductions.

"Girlfriend?" Vidalia said, slightly surprised.

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you." Lapis replied before walking over and offering her hand. Vidalia accepted it before growing a smile, "Wow Prism. She's cute, kind, and looks amazing. You've definitely found the perfect girl." She added while looking at him as he blush and rubbed the back of his head out of embarrassment.

"Thanks. Oh yeah, have you seen a kid named Onion? He took my goggles and I'm trying to get them back." Prism asked. Just then Onion reappeared, holding his goggles and hiding himself behind Vidalia. "There's my little troublemaker. Now, give Prism his goggles back." She asked him as she picked him up. Onion listened and placed the goggles into Prism' hand before he placed them back onto his head.

"Thank you. How would his parents feel about him doing these things?" Prism asked. "He's just expressing himself Prism. I'm sure he didn't mean it as long he returns it." Vidalia replied casually. He didn't understand what she was talking about until he looked at Onion before turning to her and grew wide eyes. "Your Onion's mom?!" He asked shockingly. "Yep. He also likes to talk about you and Steven." She replied.

Onion then told something in Vidalia's ear before she asked them if they wanted to stay for dinner. Prism asked Lapis if it was okay and she didn't mind at all.

"Thanks for dinner Vidalia. It was pretty good." Prism said as he finished his plate.

"You're welcome. It's really nice to catch up after not seeing each other for years." Vidalia replied kindly.

"Yeah, I mean look at that guy. I haven't seen him since he was a baby." Prism said while looking at Sour Cream who gave him a peace sign before going back to groove with his music. "Hey, have you heard anything from Marty?" He added.

Vidalia chuckled a bit before responding, "I don't where that fool is. Don't care either. It's just been me and Yellow Tail for a while."

Prism noticed a ring on her left hand before gasping, "You got married?" He asked.

"Yep. We just kinda happened. Next thing I know, I'm living with a fisherman. But he doesn't come home sometimes due to being out at sea." She replied.

"Wow. I bet he treats you better then that jerk Marty. You definitely deserved better." Prism complimented, which made Vidalia laugh.

"Okay. Enough about me, I wanna know you. How are things going? Are you and Lapis getting alone well?" She asked.

"We're doing okay. Right, Lapis?" Prism replied before turning to her.

"Yeah. A lot has happened to us, but we've managed to get by despite the challenges. Now, we're even having a child of our own." Lapis said as she placed a hand on her stomach.

Vidalia was speechless to hear that before turning her attention to Prism. "Oh. My. Gosh. Dude, I'm so happy for the both of you. I never knew Gems could produce life?" She added.

"I didn't either, but I guess we can." Prism said casually.

"Well don't worry, you two look like good parents to me. Plus I bet the child will love you both just as I've loved my sons." Vidalia replied kindly.

"Thank you." Lapis said.

Onion then began talking to his mom in a language Prism and Lapis couldn't understand. "Good idea. Prism, Onion wants to show you his room around the house." Vidalia said.

"Uh, sure." Prism replied, feeling a little uneasy about spending a little time with the troublemaker. After they left Vidalia asked Lapis if they could talk in the living room, to which she agreed since thise would help her be more comfortable around humans.

Lapis Lazuli

"So Lapis. A little girl talk. How did you ever meet Prism?" Vidalia asked as they both took a seat.

"We met on the beach. He saved me from being trapped inside a mirror. Then after fusing with him and spending time with him, a click went off in my head. Telling me that he cared deeply about me. Then during out first date, we shared our first kiss." I replied passionately.

"That sound really nice. Trust me, Prism is a good guy. Back then he was always nice to me and even helped me out a few times when no one else would. Now, it looks like he's matured a little more." Vidalia mentioned.

"Really? That was nice of him." I replied. "Vidalia. How much do you and Prism know each other? Did you two ever date each other?" I added, wanting to know a bit about their history.

Vidalia began laughing from hearing that. She continued for a moment before catching her breath. "No, no. We never dated. We were just friends. However when we first met he was pretty cute, unlike anyone I've ever met. Then after he babysit Sour Cream and got his shirt back, I had a breakdown. It was hard being a single mother and I was so stressed out, but Prism comfort me. After that we shared a one night stand, it wasn't from love, just to relieve stress and we promised to stay friends while forgetting what we did." She added.

"A one night stand? What's that?" I asked curiously.

"He didn't tell you?" Vidalia questioned before Lapis shook her head. "We had sympathy sex." She answered.

Hearing that completely surprised Lapis. She even looked at her legs in sadness from hearing that. Vidalia noticed this before placing a hand on her shoulder, "Hey what happened back then didn't mean anything. It was just a one time thing. Besides, Prism has you now. He loves you." She added softly.

"Okay. I guess that's where he learned how to perform it on me when he and I wanted to "do it". It just surprises me that he did it with another girl without even telling me about it." I replied, feeling emotional.

"I'm sure he wanted to tell you at some point, but couldn't find the right moment. For now, remember that he loves you Lapis. Always remember that because I can perfectly see that you two were made for each other." Vidalia said.

I thought about it for a moment before growing a smile. "And if you need any help with your pregnancy then I wouldn't mind at all to offer advice." Vidalia said. "Thank you." I replied.

Prism

While the girls were talking downstairs, I followed Onion into his room while hearing Sour Cream's beats. Once they got inside, I closed the door behind him before observing the room itself.

"Wow. Just like mine back in the Temple before I start cleaning it." I commented.

I then noticed Onion jumping on his small trampoline before jumping onto his bed. "Uh, if have a trampoline then you don't have to jump on your bed." I asked and got no reply.

Once he was done, I noticed a little mouse crawling around before picking it up. "Hey Onion, is this your pet?" He asked.

Onion shook his head before going over to a black container to reveal a baby snake. He then pointed at the snake before pointing at me, then at the tank again. "Wait, you want me to feed your snake?" I asked with Onion nodding.

I looked at the snake before looking at the mouse. I then sighed before opening the tank and dropping the mouse in it. Once that was done Onion wanted to show me something else, which I wasn't sure was good or not, but I didn't want to just be rude.

Onion then popped in a video tape into his TV before turning it on and starting the video. "Okay, it shows your parents. Wait, why are they in the hospital? Oh Lord, this...is you being born?" I said, observing the video before realizing what it is. Onion nodded and Prism quickly looked away while feeling disturbed.

Onion then turned the TV off before he went toward his bed and pulled something out from under it. It was a small brown shoe box with a black top on it instead of it's proper color. He then went over to me before sitting down in from of me. "Okay Onion, I don't what the heck is in that box, but I'm not waiting to find out." I said before I began to get up and leave.

Onion grabbed my arm and I turned to him as he shook his head, indicating that he wasn't gonna show me something weird. I didn't believe him, but I had to trust him one more time. Soon enough Onion opened the box and to my surprise, it was nothing as to what I was expecting.

Inside the box was pictures of me and Steven. Me and him playing together, walking together, and me showing off my speed; I was in blurs though. "Onion, why do you have pictures of me and my brother?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Onion frowned while pointing at a picture of me and Steven smiling while sitting together on a bench eating ice cream. "Wait, are you telling me that your jealous of us?" I asked before Onion nodded. "Why? You've got a brother. I know for a fact that you've got friends too and are always up to your mischievous ways, but why are you jealous?" I asked.

Onion then went to his bed again before pulling out pictures for me to understand. One was of him and Sour Cream being happy at one point. Next was Sour Cream discovering music and ignoring Onion. The last one was of Onion all my himself. After observing the pictures for a moment, I understand what he was trying to say. "Onion, are you saying that you want to hang with your brother but he's too busy with his DJing to make the time?" I asked.

Onion nodded sadly. "Wow. I never expected this side from you Onion. I thought normally you would be happy doing whatever you wanted. Plus you have your mom and dad, but I guess they get busy sometimes, huh?" I asked before getting another nod.

"Okay. How about this. If you promise to not cause any serious trouble to others, then me and my family could hangout with you. But ONLY if you promise that. Can you?" I offered. Onion went wide eyed from hearing that before he stared at me as I gave him a simple smile. He then grew a smile before nodding rapidly and jumping toward me to give me a hug. I didn't know what do say from this, so I wrapped my arms around his little body and hugged back.

After a few seconds we separated as I placed him down. "Also try talking to your mom about this as well." I offered as he nodded again.

No POV

"I'm glad you were able to come by Prism. It's nice to see old friends again." Vidalia said as her, Prism, Lapis, and Onion were all outside as it was getting dark.

"It is. And hey, come by the Barn anytime and visit the Temple too." Prism said with a smile.

"Will do. And Lapis, remember our conversation." Vidalia said to her before giving her a wink.

"I will. Thanks for everything." Lapis replied.

"What conversation?" Prism asked.

"It's just girl stuff. Plus I think Lapis will need to tell you about it." Vidalia replied.

"Okay. See ya later. And try to be good, Onion." Prism said as he and Lapis walked away with Onion waving.

Before they went back to the barn Prism forget about getting the pineapple for Lapis and apologized before asking to go get it. Lapis shook her head as she said they can get it tomorrow before suddenly stopping.

"Huh? What's wrong Lapis?" Prism asked as he stopped to notice Lapis behind him.

"Prism. Vidalia told me that you and her had a "one night stand". Is this true and why didn't you tell me?" She replied with her hair covering her eyes.

Prism was stunned from hearing that. He didn't expect to talk to her about this so soon until after they went back home, but he guess now was better than nothing. "Lapis I- I was gonna tell you. I told my dad about it at the Car Wash yesterday and it made me feel like I needed to tell you about it. It was a long time ago before we met, but I want you to know that it was just one time. I hope you can understand." He said before hiding his eyes under his hair.

There was a moment of silence before Lapis began to walk toward him. They both revealed their eyes to each other before Lapis grabbed his shirt and stood on her tippy toes before giving Prism a passionate kiss. He widen his eyes from this in shock before closing his eyes and accepting it. They kissed for a few seconds until Lapis broke it and returned to her normal height. "What happened in the past is the past. I'm not mad at you. But I want you to remember who your girlfriend is and who's child this belongs to." She said in a calm yet serious tone.

"I do." Prism answered immediately. "I swore that I would never lie to you again and keep you in the dark. I love you, Lapis Lazuli." He added with the same tone.

Lapis smiled lovingly from hearing that before taking his hand as they began to walk home. They both smiled together and had to be honest with each other, no matter what the cost is.
