A few hours have passed after the Crystal Gems had taken young Harry to Little Homeworld and met their friends this morning. Pearl sat and laid on the couch in the beach house, silently watching the little boy still sleeping in her arms and snuggling against her chest. When Harry fell asleep during his tour Pearl took him and used the warp-pads to teleport back home.

He looks so peaceful while observing him she thought, as he snored gently throughout his sleep. Harry look like he needed to catch some sleep, as it does not appear he had any for a long time, wherever he originally lived.

Pearl felt like she was being a real parent to this child, similar to Greg and Vidalia being parents themselves.

"So, this is what it's like," She thought to herself. "To be a mothe- Pearl suddenly pauses her thoughts of being a mother with a sad smile. She only found and took this innocent little boy in yesterday and did not want to force that upon him or herself.

Harry does remind Pearl a lot of Steven when watching him grow from an infant child into a powerful member of the Crystal Gems, just like his mother. Ever since Rose Quartz (Steven Universe's mum and Pink Diamond) had given up her physical form to give birth to Steven. Pearl thought that she could not live without her, as she fought beside her in the rebellion with the other gems to free Earth for 6,000 years.

Then she smiles, assuring that Rose Quartz will always be with them wherever they go. In their hearts and memories and to keep looking forward towards the future, as long as she has her family with her.

Wondering what the time is, Pearl pulls out her phone to check the time and saw that it was nearly 1 pm. Meaning that it was time to feed Harry his lunch to fill up his very skinny stomach.

Pearl was determined to fatten him up so he can look like a normal healthy human child. Due to the poor condition from which he is currently still recovering.

Pearl looks back at the kitchen, trying to think if she should make his lunch here or just take him to a diner in the streets of Beach City. But then she decides to take the little boy out for his lunch. However, she was worried that taking Harry would make him feel more anxious and frightened in his behaviour.

But it would be a good opportunity for him to open up to her and the human residents and gems roaming around on their usual day. Like they did when they took him to see Little Homeworld.

"Harry, time to wake up now dear" she whispers into his ear, while she gently rubs his back with her hand the same time. Harry began to wake up when he heard her caring voice, as he opens his large green eyes and curiously looks up to see Pearl smiling at him.

"Hello Harry, did you enjoy your nap?" she asks, with Harry nodding at her in response. "It was…nice" he mumbles. "Well, that's good to hear. Anyway, how about we head out for lunch?"

"ok" he shyly said, as he did not mind wherever they go as long as he is with her. With that, Pearl lifts herself from the couch and immediately both leave the beach house.

Once outside she carefully climbs down the wooden staircase, without dropping Harry in her arms. Since he is such a fragile little child. After descending the stairs onto the beach, the child saw how beautiful both the clear blue sky and sea were, sparkling brightly in the sunshine. This was noticed by Pearl, who smiles and thought his curiosity was adorable.

Next, they left the beach and walked straight into the main town of Beach City. Thankfully, it was not so busy around here today, as a few residents and gems were enjoying their day. While Pearl was strolling through, she was trying to figure out where she should take Harry for his lunch. He needs a balanced meal in a healthier restaurant, not a fast-food one such as Fish Stew Pizza, Beach Citywalk Fries, and the Big Donut.

Then, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she felt a gentle grip on her light teal top. Pearl saw that Harry was looking nervous, which she can tell by his facial expression. It looks like he is not used to being in public.

"Have you been into town before dear?" Pearl asks, concerningly. Harry flinches a bit and shook his head slowly. "I-I did go into town a few times…but I was told not to be seen" Harry mutters, as he hid his face against Pearl's chest.

Not wanting to pressure him into talking about his past, Pearl laid her chin on top of his head and softly tighten her hold on him. "It's ok Harry…you don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to," Pearl said, with a comforting voice.

Pearl lifts her chin off and saw Harry looking at her with a confused expression. "Really" he murmurs, as Pearl nods her head, bringing out a tiny, cute smile forming on Harry's mouth.

"T-thank you for being n-nice to me, Pearl" he replies happily.

Pearl smiles, then leans her head down towards his forehead near his lightning bolt scar to give him something that she has never given to anyone or Gem before.

Then suddenly she accidentally bumps slightly into someone. When Pearl lifts her head to see who she bounced into by accident.

It was revealed to be Vidalia, who was holding one bag of groceries with one hand. The other hand is holding her younger son's hand, Onion. Onion, like always, stays quiet and blankly waves at Pearl.

"Hi, be careful I might of-"Th blonde onion-haired woman was cut off when she realizes that it was Pearl who walked into her.

"Pearl? I'm so sorry, I didn't see you back there" She apologizes and smiles at the white-skinned gem. "It's quite all right Vidalia. So, how are things going for you today?" Pearl happily replies to the mother.

"Everything is going great today thank you for asking. Me and Onion have just bought some groceries for our lunch." Onion just simply nods in response with a blank look still.

"So, what have you and the other gems been up to today?" Vidalia inquires.

"Well, this morning we gave young Harry here a tour around Little Homeworld. And now I'm taking him out for his lunch."

"Harry?" The older woman was puzzled until she looks down and saw the little boy in the gem's arms. Harry tilted his head curiously when he made eye contact with Vidalia.

Vidalia then smiles to see the little boy looking adorable and leans in a bit to look closer at him. "Well, hello little fella, it's nice to meet you," she said with a smoothing comfortable tone. "I'm Vidalia, and this is my son Onion."

Harry slowly looks down and stares at the small white creamed-skinned boy. As Onion did the same and waved at him. "It's nice to meet you too, Miss Vidalia" he mumbles, waving back at Onion.

Vidalia let out aww after hearing what he said, with his cute voice and well-manners too. "Oh Pearl, he is so adorable, he looks a lot like Steven when he was a toddler! Where did you get him from?" Vidalia eagerly asks.

Immediately, Pearl did not want to tell her about Harry's well-being after yesterday's events. But she decides not to tell her the full story so it would not frighten the child in her arms. "We found him yesterday in…. unacceptable conditions," she said, in a concerning tone.

Vidalia did not fully understand what the gem meant and just simply nods. Deciding not to push it further, ask more questions about where the boy came from.

Then Vidalia felt her slate-blue overalls being tugged and saw Onion wanting her attention. So, Vidalia gently drops down to her knees to be on his height level and her son whispers into her ear, in his gibberish language just like his father Yellowtail.

"That sounds like a great idea, " She enthusiastically said as she got up. Pearl, since you are here, Onion was wondering if you two wanted to come to ours and have lunch with us?"

Pearl smiles, thinking this was a fabulous idea, a better substitution than going to the restaurants in Beach City. "Yes, we would be honoured to come over to yours, Vidalia." She gladly said, accepting their offer.

"Alright then, come on let's head back to our place," Vidalia said, as they all start to walk back to Vidalia's house.

While following behind the mother and son, Pearl checks on Harry to make sure he is ok with where they are going for lunch. She saw him snuggling close to her chest and looking up at her, with a tiny smile on his face. This made the white-skinned gem smile back at him in response. He truly trusts and feels safe around her like his life depended on it, as she thought.

Finally, they all arrive at the house of Vidalia and her husband Yellowtail, where they live along with their sons, Onion, and his stepbrother Sour-cream. Upon entering inside, Vidalia already started cooking their lunch in the kitchen, with the groceries that she brought earlier today.

While Pearl, Harry, and Onion were waiting in the living room until lunch is made. She thought of doing a fun activity with both Harry and Onion whilst they are waiting. As this would be a fantastic opportunity for Harry to have some fun and interact with children around his age, like Onion.

"Hi boys, why don't we do a fun activity together until lunch is ready? She suggests. Harry looks up at her hesitantly and slowly nods, willing to join in the fun. "Ok," he replies, hoping it does not involve him getting hurt.

Onion stood nodding and immediately left the living room, heading upstairs to his bedroom. Pearl wonder why Onion was heading up to his room. Vidalia's son does some unusual things when Pearl babysits him sometimes. Then about 10 seconds he came back and held a regular size red ball in his hands.

The gem realizes that Onion wants to play with the ball outside the garden, to either play football or catch the ball. But Pearl thought that it might be best if they just simply play of catch, as it would be a nice and calm thing to do with Harry, after what he has been through.

"Ok, how about we play a simple game of catch" Pearl suggests, and Onion nods in response. So, the white gem and the two human children went outside into the back garden behind the house.

Onion took a position and Pearl was on the opposite side of him. Pearl carefully places Harry on the ground beside her so he can play catch too with them. Onion and Pearl toss the ball to each other. They also give Harry the chance to catch the ball, but it took him multiple times to catch it. Eventually, when he finally caught the ball. Pearl and Onion cheered Harry for his achievement, as he felt proved of himself that he did something good at last.

After a few rounds of catching the ball, Pearl decides to check up on Vidalia to see if lunch is almost done. Leaving Harry and Onion to continue playing the game. Before Pearl could head back inside the house, she suddenly heard a small laugh behind her.

She turns around to see Harry laughing in joy continuing to play catch with Onion. This made Pearl smile brightly to see Harry having fun, as it does not look like he has not had any type of fun, with anyone before in his life.

"He looks up to you, doesn't he, "said a calm and mothering voice behind the gem. Pearl was slightly startled and turns her head to see Vidalia behind her smiling, who places her right hand on her hip, talking about the homeless little boy she found yesterday.

"I'm…sorry, what…do you mean?" The gem stutters, trying her best to hide feelings about Steven leaving them. "Come on Pearl, we've been friends for a long time. I know that Harry reminds you of Steven" Vidalia convinces Pearl. But Pearl could not hold it in anymore, so she let out a sigh and looked down with a sad smile.

"Yes, you're right, he does remind me a lot like Steven" She finally admits to the middle-aged woman.

"But I kind of wish he was still here with us." Vidalia worriedly places her hand on Pearl's shoulder in comfort, understanding how it felt for her and Onion to miss Steven so much too.

"I know you miss Steven Pearl, but you are not the only one in Beach City that misses him. But no matter where he goes, Steven will always be with us."

Those words inspire Pearl to beam out a tiny smile, cheering her up a bit, as the gem and older human watch both the boys playing along well.

"But you still haven't told me, where did you find him? Vidalia asks again, curiously. Pearl put up a frown on her face, which was quickly noticed by a concerned Vidalia. "I found him yesterday in an alleyway" Pearl answers.

"WHAT!" Vidalia shockingly said, in a medium-low and alarming voice. Pearl was a bit jumpy from hearing Vidalia's tone. But understood why, since she has maternal instincts with her children and other kids, she knew in Beach City. Luckier the boys didn't hear her from the distance between them. "Why was he living there in all places!? And where are his parents!?"

"I…I believe he was abandoned by his…family" Pearl said, still not entirely certain how the little boy ended up in that alleyway. After hearing what Pearl had said, Vidalia's face turns from a mothering look to a serious and angry expression.

Until Vidalia closes her eyes, lets out a deep breath, and calms herself down. Then she opens her eyes and turns her attention to Pearl, with a concerned look. "I'm sorry, I just- You know how I feel about kids" Vidalia apologizes.

"I understand," Pearl said, with a nod and both of them continued watching the boys playing. "Harry is safe with us, that's all that matters now"

Then Pearl thought of something that came into her mind. What are she and Crystal Gems going to do with Harry? She worryingly thought. She and the others couldn't just abandon him on the streets. Pearl wasn't certain if they should dump him into an orphanage or something, as she was worried that he wouldn't survive there at all.

Also, Pearl and the rest of the gems have truly grown an attachment to the little boy. She had no idea what to do? "You know, maybe you and Harry were destined to find each other" Vidalia said, which interrupts Pearl from her thoughts and blinks.

The white gem turns her head to see Vidalia smiling at her, with kindness again. "Mmm…maybe…maybe" Pearl simply replies, with an uncertain face.

After their conversation about Harry, Vidalia went back inside into the kitchen and continued cooking their lunch. While Pearl stays outside to keep an eye out for both Harry and Onion just in case anything happens to them. Later, Vidalia eventually comes back telling Pearl that lunch is finally ready and waiting for them in the kitchen.

Pearl then walks over to the children and told them that lunch is ready. Harry and Onion nod, leaving the ball on the ground and follows Pearl and Vidalia back inside for their lunch.

They all sat down around the dinner table in the kitchen, as three plates were set on the table. On their plates, there were small piles of mashed potatoes, four pieces of broccoli, and three slices of chicken breasts covered with gravy. Vidalia sat in the middle and her son has seated nearby her on the left side of the table. While Pearl sat on the right side and places Harry comfortably on her lap. So, she can help feed him just in case since she doesn't need to eat any substances as a Gem.

As Vidalia and Onion start eating their lunch Harry looks at Pearl with a hopeful look on his face. It became clear that he wasn't sure If he was allowed to eat still. Pearl smiled and nodded at Harry, reassuring him that he is allowed to eat his lunch.

Pearl then uses both the knife and fork to cut up his chicken and broccoli into pieces. As an easier way for Harry to eat without him choking on his food as she did with his breakfast.

Harry quietly politely ate his meal, as he enjoys delightfully tasting its flavours. Pearl smiles to see the little boy digging into his lunch; he truly had such good table manners when eating too she thought. But also, she found it funny to see him enjoying the broccoli when most children his age would avoid eating their vegetables.

She watches the small boy slowly eating half his lunch on his plate. Then, Harry stares at Vidalia, who has already finished eating her lunch first, who quickly notices him looking at her.

"Thank you, Miss Vidalia…for the meal" he simply said, with a small bright smile.

Vidalia responds with her smile to Harry, as she got up to her feet and gently ruffles his hair playfully. "You're welcome, Harry. I wish Onion had the same table manners as you do nowadays."

Harry was curious and confused about what she meant about Onion. Until he looks over to see Onion made four small sculpture figures out of his mashed potatoes, one of them resembling Pearl.

Harry was quite impressed until he licked and ate one of the sculptures. Then the fair-skinned boy drools the lumps of marsh potatoes out of his mouth disgustingly onto the table. Harry was puzzled and wasn't sure how to make of what Onion just did back there. But he was quick enough not to judge him, as he enjoyed playing with Onion in the garden and continues eating his lunch.

Harry and Onion finish eating their lunch at last, with their plates clean. Vidalia collects the dirty dishes and simply places them into the kitchen sink to wash them. Pearl brought the boys back into the garden again to resume their play of catching the ball.

Then Vidalia joins them after she was finished cleaning the dishes up. Both she and Pearl discuss what they have been up to over the past week while keeping an eye out on the boys.

Later, after what felt like forever, Pearl checked the time on her phone again and saw that it was 3:46 PM. Pearl thought it was time for her and Harry to head back to the beach house. Whoever knows if either Garnet or Amethyst might be wondering where they are.

So, she calls out to Harry, who heard turns his attention to her, telling him that they are leaving. Harry quickly nods and rushes over to the white gem, as Onion follows after them to say goodbye to his babysitter and new friend. When Harry came to Pearl and happily held onto her hand (which she willingly let him hold on to her) and now they were ready to depart Vidalia's home.

Vidalia escorts both of them to the door outside the front yard of her house to say goodbye. "Thank you for inviting us over, Vidalia" Pearl gratefully said to her friend.

"No problem, Pearl" the mother happily said, closing her eyes and smiling. "Feel free to bring Harry here for another playdate. It seems Onion enjoyed his company." Onion eagerly smiles and nods, confirming his fun with his new friend.

"Sure, I will see you another day then Vidalia, bye," Pearl said, as both the gem and child begin their journey back to the beach house. "Bye," Harry mumbles farewell, as he shyly waves at both Vidalia and Onion when leaving. Onion waves back at him to his newest friend and Vidalia found it cute.

On their way back to the beach house, Pearl checks on Harry to see if he's feeling ok whilst walking down the sidewalk. She saw that he looks happier than before in his expression. It looks like spending time with Onion and Vidalia has made him feel positive and joyful. Pearl felt grateful and happy to see him coming out of his shy behaviour, as most human children are like when growing up.

"So, did you have fun with Onion today, Harry?" Pearl asks, wondering and amusingly. Harry looks up at her with a cute smile and nods. "He was nice…" He cheerfully answers her.

A few minutes later, as they were about to cross the road on the zebra crossing when all of a sudden- BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Both Pearl and Harry heard a van's horn and a familiar voice coming right behind them. Pearl looks behind to the side of the road and turns out to be none other than Greg Universe himself (Rose Quartz's husband and Steven Universe's dad). He was driving his mid-1970s Dodge Tradesman van and pulled it over to the sidewalk.

"Hi Pearl, surprised to see you here this evening? He addresses and smiles at his wife's oldest friend and family member. "Oh, hello Greg, didn't expect to see to you either" She happily responds to her former leader's husband of the Crystal Gems. "How did the dinner you had with the residents go last night?"

"It was great. What we had there was spectacular, I slept like a log in my van last night" Greg admits, with a bright grin.

Since ever they first meet, Pearl was very jealous of Greg's and Rose's relationship together and blamed him for her demise, after giving birth to Steven. But in the end, Pearl and Greg mended their friendship a few years ago and accepted each other as family, thanks to Steven of course.

"So have you been up to anything lately?" He continues to ask questions. Until he looks down and saw the tiniest little boy standing beside her, who stares curiously at the middle-aged man. "Oh, and who is this you have there?"

"Greg, this is Harry. Harry, this is Greg Universe" She introduces both Greg and the child to each other.

Greg leans his head down to take a closer look at Harry, placing his left arm on the open window. Upon seeing him, Greg reminds Harry of Steven as a toddler due to his tiny size and was wearing one of Steven's oversized t-shirts

"Well, hello there, we've not been properly introduced. I'm Greg Universe" He introduces himself and chuckles down at Harry. "Hi there…Mr. Universe" The little boy responds, not nervous to say hi to someone he has not met before.

Greg still smiles, hearing the young boy politely calling him Mr. Universe. "Aww please, just call me Greg if you like" The former rock star recommends, as Harry nods at him. "So where are you two heading?"

"Oh, we just left Vidalia's for a visit and now we're heading back to the beach house" Pearl explains about their evening adventure together.

"I see, hi since you're in the neighbourhood, how about I give you two a lift back home" He offers, patting the spare second front seat beside him in his van.

Pearl thought it might be a good idea to drive to the beach house instead of walking there since Harry looks a little bit tired from playing catch with Onion earlier. So, Pearl gladly accepted Greg's offer, and she jumps inside the vehicle, placing Harry down on her lap again. She fastens her seat belt around herself and Harry and wraps her arms around him as well, for their safety in case of an event of a car crash. Once that was complete, Greg turns on his van's engine with his car keys and drove off to their destination.

As they were making their way to the seafront of Beach City, Harry looks around in the streets in curiosity, though the window when still moving about. Seeing both people and gem roaming around as one big society altogether. Pearl seems to enjoy seeing Harry peculiar about everyone and everything in Beach City.

"So, are you guys' babysitting him for his parents or something" Greg wonderingly asks, while driving the wheel.

Pearl made sure that Harry wasn't listening, so she can answer Greg's question, as he would be upset to talk about his past and condition to anyone else. But thankfully, he was too busy still gazing around people and places in Beach City.

"That's just say that…Harry will be staying with us for a little while" Pearl remarks, in smaller details. "That's why I was wondering to ask you if it's ok for Harry to sleep in Stev- I mean your bedroom tonight again?

Pearl hopes Greg accepts her request for Harry to sleep in Steven's bedroom for the time being. Since he moved in with them in the beach house, after Steven departed Beach City for his road trip.

"Hi no worries, Pearl. The little man can borrow my room anytime he wants too" he said, kindly accepting Pearl's request. "Besides, I haven't slept in this old van for a while now and only got used to it again.

Pearl smiles, appreciating Greg for allowing Harry to sleep in his room for time being.

Eventually, they finally arrive at the seafront and Greg drove his van onto the sandy beach heading straight to the hidden Obsidian statue behind the hill, where both the Crystal Temple and beach house are located. When they made it to their destination, Greg parks his van near the wooden staircase that leads up to the beach house. Pearl got out of the van, with Harry still in her arms, and walks to Greg's side of the vehicle.

"Thank you, Greg, I appreciate you giving us a lift back home," Pearl thanked the bald man with a smile. "You're welcome, Pearl" Greg cheerfully said to the white gem. "So, where are you going to go next?" Pearl questions.

"I need to head back to the car wash, as there are a few residents on my schedule who need their cars washed still" Greg responds, rubbing the back of his head. Pearl nods, understanding that Greg needs to get back to work at his car washing business called It's a Wash.

"Anyway, I better get going now, before any of my customers get impatient. I'll see you later, Pearl. As Mr. Universe said goodbye to Pearl, he turns his attention to the little boy he met today. "It was nice meeting you little man. I hope you enjoy your stay with the gems."

"They're nice" Harry shyly nods, as he thought the middle-aged man was nice to him. "They sure are," he remarks, as Greg reaches his arm through the window and ruffled Harry's hair playfully which made him giggle.

Harry enjoyed having met the gems, Onion, Vidalia, and now Greg, as they were all genuinely nice to him today. Just like Pearl and the Crystal Gems were being kind to him when they brought him into their home all day.

Once that's done, Greg starts his van, turns it around, and drove back to his home city. So, he can get back to his car washing business and continue his job cleaning other people's vehicles. When Greg shortly left, Pearl took Harry straight upstairs back into the beach house. As she enters inside seeing both Garnet and Amethyst were already there waiting for them.

The fusion was sitting down on the couch and the quartz was laying on the kitchen/bar table backward, with her head hanging over the edge and eating food. But when they saw their friend and the child return home, both gems immediately got up and went over to greet them.

"Sorry if we were gone for a long time, Harry and I had quite an adventure this evening" She explains.

Then, Pearl felt the weight of her arms feel lighter and looks down to quickly realize that Harry had vanished. She was about to have a panic attack until she saw the purple gem holding the little boy.

Feeling overprotective, Pearl was about to protest and disprove in annoyance against Amethyst for stealing him from her. "Hi there, little buddy, did you have fun today" Amethyst cheerfully asks, as she held up Harry high above her.

Harry excitedly nods and hums, explaining what he did today in the afternoon with Pearl. The white gem's frustration soon changes into a warm smile, seeing the interactions between Harry and Amethyst were adorable.

Afterward, in the late evening, the sun slowly sets down below the horizon. With the sky turning into the blue and night sky and the moon rising above, as the stars and the moon's light spreads across the now quiet Beach City. Meanwhile, back in the beach house, Harry had already finished eating his homemade dinner, which was made by the Crystal Gems.

The gems simply just cooked hot dogs with tomato ketchup for the young boy. They prepared about eight hot dogs and placed half of them aside, just in case Harry wanted to eat some more.

Harry looks at the four sausages in buns on his plate in front of him with interest, like he never had one before. Which raised questions about the three gems, what exactly did he eat back at his old home? They thought at the same time. But he enjoyed them, with his big green eyes sparkling after he took one bite of a hot dog, then slowly eat the rest by himself with his bare hands.

As they watched him eat his meal on the kitchen bar table, sitting on Pearl's lap while she sat down on one of the wooden chairs. Make sure he eats properly as any human parent would do for their child. Pearl smiled to see Harry never forgetting his table manners whilst chewing on his food. Afterward, Harry finishes eating his food with his plate cleaned.

"Are you still hungry, Harry?" Pearl asks, feeling that Harry should eat more due to his starvation body. I'm full…thank you" He quietly nodded, as he felt his tummy full after eating those tasty hot dogs.

Pearl nodded back, understanding that he wasn't used to eating that much before and didn't want him to get sick.

Well, I might as well eat them all up as usual" Amethyst said, picking up the tray of the last hot dogs freely and gulping them down her throat. Then she let out a large burp.

"Amethyst!" Pearl reprimands. "Please don't do that in front of Harry" She criticizes her follow purple gem's table manners in front of Harry. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself" The small-sized gem laughs and apologizes too.

Just then, they heard another small burp that didn't come from the purple gem, and it sounded cute. But instead, Pearl heard it close to her and looks down to find the culprit to be young Harry. "S-sorry" he timidly apologizes, feeling anxious that he made a mistake.

However, Amethyst straight away laughs which made Harry confused. "Aww, don't apologize little bud, it sounded pretty awesome to me" she comments, giving the boy a wink. "Amethyst, please don't encourage-

"I think I agree with Amethyst on this" Garnet interrupted Pearl, with a grin on her face. "It sounded pretty cute" The fusion teased Pearl and gave the thumbs up to Harry with a smile. Pearl let out a heavy sigh in annoyance from the two gems' discouragement of burping toward the human child.

Until Harry suddenly let out an adorable yawn which was brought to their attention. as he looks very drowsy and blinking. The three of the Crystal Gems let out an aww together at the sight of the sleepy human in their care.

"Aww, it looks like it's bedtime for you, young man" Pearl decides, as she turns the boy around and rests him against her chest. "Mm, ok" he mumbles, resting his head on her shoulder. Pearl laughs, never expecting a child to be told to go to bed without making a fuss.

Pearl stood up and starts carrying Harry back to Steven's bedroom. "Night" Harry mumbles, trying to wave goodnight at Garnet and Amethyst.

Amethyst and Garnet both smile, as they watch Pearl ascend upstairs with Harry in her arms. Admitting that they love having Harry around with them, especially the other gems who met him today in Little Homeworld.

Pearl enters the bedroom and gently tucks Harry into the bed. "Sleep tight, Harry, we'll see you in the morning" She coos, watching him snuggling against the pillows. "Goodnight Pearl….thank you…for everything" He smiles sleepily, as he closes his eyes and snores smoothly off into dreamland hopefully.

Pearl chuckles, seeing how truly precious and innocent this little boy was to her and the others. This made Pearl decide to stay with him again, instead of going back to her room in the Crystal Temple. So, she would make sure Harry gets his full-time sleep throughout the night in case he has night terrors again like he did this morning.

Without disturbing Harry, Pearl gently slips into the bed next to him. Pearl felt Harry cuddling close against her and wraps her arms around him in a soft hug. As she smiles and gently strokes the back of his little head. Then she leans forward and finally did what she never got the chance to do when they were in Beach City. She kisses him on the temple of his head.

"Goodnight, little gem" she whispers to his ear, letting herself fall asleep peacefully and feeling glad that she rescued him yesterday.
