Bellow Diamond Week

Day 4: Family

I am so so late! I am so sorry!

So, I am basing this one off of my main fic series too! Since day 3 was in the future, this one will be of the past.

Pink, that was her color. The color of their firstborn, a misnomer in a way since both her parents weren't even colored close it. Her parents were Blue and Yellow Diamond, two of the gem matriarchs that ruled over Homeworld. Pink Diamond was just born a mere month ago, a celebration was held to welcome the newest Diamond into the Authority. No actual gem beside the Diamonds had actually seen her. They saw her on broadcasts and in pictures but that was all. They also have not seen Blue or Yellow Diamond either, just White Diamond. Currently, Blue Diamond was off in her shared room with Yellow, rocking a tiny Diamond in her arms. She just finally had gotten the gemling to fall asleep after hours and hours of crying.

"Oh Pink, why are you so sad? Do you miss Mama?"

Pink's response to that was a slight whimper, she indeed missed Yellow.

"My angel, I miss her too. I bet she misses both of us, but she will be back soon. She is running her colonies just like one day you will."

Pink continued to whimper as she waited with Blue for Yellow Diamond to come back. She had been gone for over a rotation of cycles to fix a problem on a colony. Yellow expressed that she didn't want to leave them but Blue insisted that she went to fix it, so another problem didn't arise from it. Everything had to be perfect for White, another reason why Blue expressed the need for her to go. She longed for Yellow to be back, counting down the cycles to her return. Blue knew she was on her way back in her ship from the colony. Whatever issue there was, her lover probably crushed it into oblivion. Blue continued to look out the window in their bedroom, staring at the landing pad for Yellow's arm. She waited for the clouds to clear and reveal her ship. Blue glanced over to construction on the area. The Bismuths were building a new landing pad for Pink Diamond, although she wouldn't be using for years. There were other gems working on her ship as well. She looked down at Pink, her eyes were shut, and she was slowly falling asleep.

"Finally," Blue said as she sighed a sound of relief.

Finally, she had gotten Pink to fall asleep. The two Diamonds had already planned out a colony for their child, specific gems as well. There would be Rose Quartzes to accompany her as she conquered her planets. Their visit to Earth was short but Blue managed to take some plants from the planet. One of them, Yellow decided to plant in the greenhouse found on Homeworld. From research done by a few select gems, she found out they were called "Lilies." Yellow had them dried out and made into a perfume of some sort. The Diamond wore it on her Ball cape, which was currently being used by Blue Diamond to wrap their daughter in. Blue thought that a scent associated with Yellow Diamond would help Pink calm down. She was partially right. Pink had a handful of the cape in her fist, not wanting to let go no matter what. She had pulled over herself as well, now looking like a buddle of yellow with pink at the top. Blue was happy that Pink finally was resting easy. The poor gemling often had trouble sleeping due to her gem vitality fluctuating. Blue wished with all the love in her non- existent heart that they would be able to switch places. No gemling, Diamond or not, should have to go through the pain that Pink was going through. Sure, Blue went through enough with carrying Pink to term and giving birth to her but she was a grown gem. A Diamond as well, made to endure a lot of pain and suffering. To try and soothe her daughter, Blue would try to sing to her. Yellow often would join in, their harmonies drifting Pink to sleep and making some of the pain dissipate. As if it were telepathy, Blue's holoscreen popped up, showing a notification that Yellow Diamond was about to land on Homeworld.

Blue looked down at Pink Diamond and said, "Pink, Mama is back home."

Pink moved a tiny bit after Blue said Yellow was back but she continued to wrap herself in the cape. Blue watched Yellow's arm ship land on her landing pad, her palanquin slowly being lowered down from it. Yellow walked towards the warp pad to where she was warped to their bedroom. Blue heard her footsteps walking towards the door, a distinctive sound produced by only Yellow's boots. The door hissed open, revealing her lover. Her armor was in slight disarray from the organic rebellions she had to squash. Yellow looked at Blue and she smiled, seeing the two most important things in her life together. Yellow quietly walked over to Blue and kneeled down, resting one arm on the top of the chair and the other one under Pink with Blue's arms.

"Welcome back, my love," Blue said to Yellow, smiling.

"I missed both of you so much. How was she?"

"She is still having problems with her gem vitality so she is still in pain sometimes, Yellow."

Yellow looked at Pink and kissed her forehead. She then took her out of Blue's arms and rocked her. Pink opened her eyes and looked at Yellow before falling asleep. Yellow brought her over to her crib and laid her down slowly, still wrapping her up in her cape. Blue walked up next Yellow and put her hand on her lover's shoulder, looking down at their peacefully sleeping child. She leaned her head against Yellow's shoulder, sighing contently.

"Blue, did you wrap her in my Ball cape?"

"Yes, I thought your "lily" smell would help her sleep and it did."

"Well, she can keep it for now. I love both of you so much."

"I love you, too, Yellow."

And Yellow and Blue stayed there, looking after their daughter…

They are a…

Family…
