Garnet sat on the couch, her hand on Steven's hair as he slept soundly on her lap. Softly, she hummed a familiar tune, lulling the boy into a deeper sleep.
With a soft hiss, the Temple door slid open. Garnet glanced up to see Amethyst and Pearl standing there, looking awkward. As they glanced at each other nervously, she took a moment to glimpse into the most likely future.
As the two slowly walked past her towards the door, she grinned. "Have fun." she whispered.
The two Gems paused, guilty blushes on their faces as they looked at her in panic.
Garnet gave a thumbs up, still grinning.
As their blushes deepened, they quickly but quietly opened the screen door and stepped outside.
Garnet heard faint whispering and the sound of footsteps as they went around the side of the house. The blue light of the laundry warp pad flickered through the window. ''bout time.' Garnet mused as she started humming again, her fingers gently massaging Steven's scalp.
