Greg let out a huff, as he took a few steps forward, in his hands, he tightly gripped the rope as he pulled it from over his shoulders, behind him was the large wooden frame that slowly lifted up as Amethyst sat beneath it and watched. "Little more dude! Almost got it!" she called with a smile as the frame inched closer to the other standing frames before resting against them. "Perfect!" she called as Greg collapsed onto the ground, letting out a huff as his messy brown hair buried his head. Amethyst sprinted over on all fours, sitting herself down beside him as she smiled.

"You dead?" she questioned as she stuck her finger into his hair, giving his head a poke as he groaned. Amethyst laughed, "Nope, still kicking." she commented as Greg rose from his spot, taking a moment to wipe the thick layer of sweat from his brow.

"Phew...man..this is exhausting work," he remarked, turning to see the fruits of his labors as behind him stood the completed frame of his future home.

Panting from the exhausting work, Greg heard the grunts and coo's from the baby swing nearby. "What do you think Steven? You're gonna have the best view of the ocean from your room." Greg walked over, bending down as the little Steven kicked and giggled, eager to be picked up from his baby swing by his dad. "And you will get to see your Aunt Garnet and Big sis Amethyst any time you want!" he chuckled as Steven squealed with delight as he was lifted into the air.

"I should probably think about building a garage for the van once it's done…I'd hate to just leave it out here in the sand." He looked down from the platform the house sat on at his van nearby, a small fire and some chairs set outside the back of it, with a few poles holding up some string lights around their little nest. Setting Steven back in his swing, Greg walked over to a small stool with some water bottles next to it, taking a seat as Amethyst walked over to sit down next to him.

"I gotta say, I'm impressed you've committed to building this thing, you know you could have just crashed in the cave." she said with a grin as Greg chuckled. "As appealing an offer as it was, I think it was just better to build a proper home for Steven." he joked as Amethyst shrugged, looking at his work. "You know Garnet could just put all that stuff up herself though? As funny as it is watching you turn red lifting this stuff up, it sure seems to take a lot out of you."

Greg took a swig from his bottle of water, its cool contents a much welcome relief from the warm spring air. Once empty, Greg set his bottle down, a familiar noise ringing out from inside the cave of the temple as the warp pad burst to life. A beam of light filled the room before disappearing, leaving in its place Garnet and Pearl. After a moment, Pearl opened her eyes seeing Greg sitting with a smile as Steven began to clap happily. Gasping with delight, she smiled as she covered her mouth. "Greg! Steven!" she skipped over, looking around at the framework of the house. "Did you set all this up today?" she questioned as Greg rose from his seat.

"Yeah, and let me tell you, it was no easy task, I really need to start working out some more or this whole construction thing will be the death of me." Greg laughed as Garnet followed behind Pearl.

Blushing lightly Greg leaned in and placed a small kiss on Pearl's lips "So how did your mission? Go?" He questioned as Garnet raised up a bubbled gem, giving him a smile and a thumbs up before sending it off to wherever they held them.

"It went fine Greg." She smiled, pulling him into a hug before turning her attention to little Steven. "And I brought a little something back for you." she smiled, reaching up to her gem, she pulled out a beautiful purple flower unlike anything Greg had seen before. Leaning down, she placed it in Steven's hair as he giggled and kicked with joy. "There, it looks absolutely adorable on you." she smiled.

"He's quite the charmer." Garnet chuckled before turning to Greg. "You know, you don't have to push yourself so hard." She stated, adjusting her glasses as Greg pumped his arm up.

"Are you kidding! I have to push myself to the limits! Beside, you guys were more than helpful getting the wood and helping me piece it all together. The LEAST I could do is set it all up." he chuckled, letting out a slight wince as he rubbed his back a bit. "Though I've definitely reached the limit today." he joked sitting back down with a sigh as Pearl walked up with an all too familiar face.

"Really Greg, You should be more careful with how you push yourself! Your body is not as resilient as us gems! You need to take proper care of yourself, and that means knowing not to push yourself too hard."

Greg sighed and lowered his head in defeat "Your right Pearl." He said defeated as she rolled her eyes and smiled, Leaning in and lifting his head before placing a kiss on his forehead.

"That being said, I think you did an amazing job, the frame of the house looks perfect. It will be done before we know it." she smiled as Greg returned hers with a grin of his own.

"Well I'm gonna take little stew ball here and go down to the van." Greg stood up, lifting Steven from his seat as he cradled him in his arms.

"I'll be down in just a bit as well." Pearls smiled, As Garnet walked over to Greg, bending down to face Steven. "You behave now you hear?" she said with a soft smile as Steven cooed and giggled.

Back down at the van, Greg stretched out as he looked at the sun hanging over the horizon, its orange glow glistening on the ocean waves as it began to set. The back of his van had been set up into a comfortable and neatly organized bedroom of sorts, while the front passenger seat was set up as a little bed and area for Steven. Seeing as how his work at the carwash was close enough to just walk, he figured till their house was done, his van would have to do for the time being. Hanging from one of the doors was various cooking tools they used over the fire as well as some other commodities that Greg needed and used.

Humming a happy tune, Greg got to work setting up for the evening, walking over to the large stack of logs the gems had helped him gather for fire, he carefully set them up in the small fire pit for lighting later. Next on his list he grabbed Steven from his little bed, setting him down on a small table outside as he changed his diaper, tossing the old one in their trash before changing him into his pajamas. "There! Now that you're all clean it's time for your dad to clean up." he smiled as he carried Steven over to another small baby seat set out, tucking him in before walking over to the van to grab a bar of soap.

With a smile and no shame, Greg stripped off his sweaty clothes, tossing them aside as he made his way into the crystal blue water of the ocean, letting the small waves softly take him as he dived under the water. Once wet, he began to scrub away the sweat and grime off him with his soap as he sang aloud.

Hearing him sing, Pearl walked along the beach as she saw Greg emerge from the water, his long brown hair flying behind him as he flicked it behind his back to help it dry. Noticing the state he was in, Pearl blushed as she eyed over his developing figure. "You know Greg, aren't you humans supposed to be embarrassed to be seen "naked"?" She called out as he noticed her immediately turning red as his hands moved to cover himself. "Pearl!"

Pearl laughed, walking over to him before placing a kiss on his cheek, moving his hands away as she looked over his body. "I must say…it is impressive watching your body develop from all the work you have been doing. Gem's don't "Grow Muscles" as you humans can."

Greg was red head to toe as he blushed at the complement. "I..I'm glad you like the improvements.." He said somewhat timidly as she giggled, reaching up and pinching his cheek. "But that won't MATTER if you push yourself too hard and end up hurting yourself!"

Greg winced softly knowing this scolding was coming as he laughed. "Ok ok! I understand, I'll be more careful!" Greg grunted through his chuckle as Pearl handed him a towel.

"Now I would start by drying yourself off while I get dinner going." she smirked as she walked her way over to their little van camp.

After a thorough drying Greg walked up to his van, as Pearl leaned in and started their firepit, the small embers growing into a pleasant fire as she scooped up Steven in her arms.

"Did you miss me Steven?" She teased and cooed as Steven giggled and kicked his little feet. "I bet you did, was it fun watching daddy work today?" she cooed, nuzzling her nose into him as his little hands clapped against her face and he grinned. Greg walked over to the van, pulling out some neatly folded clothes before slipping them on. Once dressed, he climbed onto the top of the van, opening up a container and pulling out some tools for the fire. A small metal grill frame fit neatly over the fire pit, making it so he could grill or place pots and pans over it.

"So Pearl? What will it be tonight?" Greg asked as she rocked Steven in her arms. "We need to use the meat and veggies you got a few days ago before they go bad. So grab the pot please." She continued playing with Steven as Greg pulled out the large pot and lid.

Thankfully and through some method Greg was clueless too, Pearl had set up a small fridge that they could use to store some goods. Supposedly Garnet had a hand in powering it, but nonetheless Greg was not one to question things as he reached in, pulling out some packaged beef chunks and some veggies wrapped up in bags. "One Universe Stew coming up!" he said with a smile, having filled the pot with fresh water he set it over the fire to boil.

"Oh? Are you hungry little guy?" Pearl questioned as she got up, walking to the open back of the van as she sat on the edge. With a glimmer of light, her normal attire vanished revealing her porcelain breasts with their bright teal colored nipples. Lifting Steven up, she brought him to one as he quickly latched his mouth on for another of his daily meals.

Pearl sighed, Smiling as Steven happily drank down the formula she had stored for him. Greg walked over, sitting down beside her as he scooted close to her, wrapping an arm around Pearl's waist before pulling her into a soft kiss. "So? What sort of adventure did you and Garnet have today?" He asked as Pearl chuckled.

"Well it was nothing that special, just another corrupted gem to take care of. Turns out it has been stealing the shoes of all things from a town and hoarding them in some cave, chewing them all up."

Greg chuckled at the thought "Really? Like a shoe bandit?" he teased as she rolled her eyes and laughed.

"In a way, yes, though I doubt you had much to worry about." she teased, motioning to the sandals he always wore.

"Hey what can I say, Sandals are all the rage." he joked as Pearl giggled.

"Well…I'm glad you made it home safely" Greg said with a slight blush as Pearl leaned over, wrapping her free hand around his waist as she kissed his cheek.

"And I'm proud of how hard you are working, Greg." Pearl gave Greg's side a squeeze as he blushed. "Now why don't you get dinner going and I'll finish up with Steven here." She motioned to the still feeding Steven as Greg stood up with a smile, walking over to their small table as he began chopping up and preparing his ingredients.

After a few minutes of chopping and dicing, Greg slid the veggies into the pot, letting them simmer into a nice broth before adding in his meat and covering it with a lid. Walking over, two beach chairs were setting around the fire as he took a seat in one with a sigh, the stars in the sky beginning to glisten forth with the setting of the sun.

With a smile, Greg stared up at the night sky, enjoying the view as the cool ocean breeze washed over him. "Mind if I join?" Pearl asked as he looked over, seeing her standing beside him, her clothes reformed.

"Oh Yeah of course! Is Steven..?" Pearl nodded, reaching to adjust her small skirt before gently sitting in Greg's lap. "Fast asleep, watching you all day must have tired him out." she smiled as she rested herself against him.

The two sat for a bit, enjoying the sound of the waves and the soft crackle of their fire. "You're getting taller." Pearl broke the silence, catching him a bit off guard as he laughed.

"Well, my growth spurt was bound to happen sooner than later." Greg joked as Pearl chuckled.

"Yes well, your height won't do you much favor if you become out of shape. I can hardly believe how bad your diet had been until I started reading up on human nutrition."

Greg felt a ping of embarrassment as he scratched his head. "Yeah well..bumming around doesn't exactly net you five star meals…I'm more worried about losing my hair when I grow up, I hear balding runs in my family.."

Pearl giggled "Yes, it would be a shame to lose all that thick hair of yours." she teased running her hands through his long flowing brown hair.

"At least you gems don't have to worry about dieting and balding." He laughed, taking his hand and softly running it through pearls short peach colored hair. "It's so soft…and you don't even have to wash it." Greg remarked as Pearl couldn't help but blush and purr at the complement, her hand reaching up to take his as he ran it through her hair.

"Yes well…you're quite lucky to have a marvelous Pearl like myself." she said with a smile before Greg's stomach let out a growl.

"Sounds like you should get a bite to eat." Pearl remarked as she stood up, giving him room to stand from his seat as he walked over to the now finished pot of stew.

"Yeah, I'm starving from all the work today, this smells amazing." he Cooed stirring the pot as Pearl walked over to the van.

"Oh, are you calling it a night?" Greg questioned as she smiled. "No, But I'll leave you to eat and get the bed ready for when you're done, remember you have work tomorrow." she remarked, climbing into the back of the van before closing the doors behind her.

After pouring himself a bowl of stew, Greg sat back down in his chair, blowing on the steaming meal to help it cool before digging in. A few bowls later, Greg sat satisfied as he let out a small belch, giving his stomach a pat before getting up from his chair. The fire was but a small glow as Greg grabbed some oven mitts on the table, pulling the pot off the small grill before setting it aside. He knew that Pearl would have his head if he left a big mess, so he made sure to portion out and put away the rest of the soup in their little fridge, before using some water set aside to rinse out the pot.

Once it was all put away, Greg made sure to put out the rest of the fire, organizing and cleaning up any mess he had left before he was ready to join Pearl in the van. Walking up to the back of the door, he opened it up, the lights strung up outside hardly illuminating the inside of his van as he peeked inside. "Pearl?" He said softly, as not to wake up Steven who was sleeping soundly in his little room up front. "I'm here Greg." He heard her call out to him as he climbed inside.

As his eyes adjusted, he could make out Pearl, laying sprawled out on their bed of pillows and blankets, her clothes gone, leaving her in nothing but her naked form as Greg blushed. "Pearl?" He whispered as she smiled, sitting up, she grabbed his hand, slowly pulling him to her as her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Something the matter?" She whispered seductively as Greg gulped. "N..Not at all." He replied as she giggled. "Well why don't you lose those clothes? And come warm up the bed with me…"

How could Greg refuse such an offer as he slowly slid off his clothes, the whole time Pearl watching him with her sparkling teal eyes. Once undressed, she reached out again, pulling him into her arms as the two embraced and kissed. She could already feel his "Excitement" pressing against her as his hands caressed along her perfect skin. Pulling from her lips, Greg kissed Pearl's neck, making his way to her bright teal nipples as his mouth captured her breasts.

Pearl bit her lip as her body quivered at his touch, feeling his tongue dance and tease at her nipple as his other hand slowly slid between her legs. Before Pearl thought such acts were awkward and a product of simple organic instinct, but as the months went on, sharing her bed with Greg, Pearl understood that it was so much more.

Now she looked forward to their intimate moments, savoring each second of their time together most nights like this. There was something about it all that was intoxicating to her, maybe it was the same thing that Rose had found herself in doing such acts.

While the physical stimulation was enjoyable, for Pearl it was much more. It was the way Greg would look at her as she laid bare before him, eyes full of wonder and wanting. It was the way his hands would touch her, treating her body so delicately as if he could break her in his hands. It was the way that in these moments, the world around them seemed so far away, and to Greg, SHE was the only thing that mattered, in a way it almost made her feel like a diamond herself.

Once Greg had his fill, his kisses traveled downward, making their way between her legs as his tongue slid across her folds, finding their way inside as his hands softly gripped her rear. All the while, Pearl bit her finger, holding back her moans as her other hand gripped the bedding behind her. With every intimate night together, her refinement of her bodies sense's improved, making their sex even more stimulating to her body than before.

Pulling back with a soft gasp, Greg's eyes sparkled as he positioned himself between her legs. Pearl could feel the throbbing of his member against her folds as she reached up, her hand gently caressing his cheek as she gave him an affirming nod.

With a soft push, Greg slid inside of her, Pearl's toes curling as his member filled and stretched her womanhood coming to rest all the way inside her as she felt the shivers run through Greg's body.

Leaning down, Greg pressed his lips to Pearl's the two's tongues teasing one another's as Greg's hips began moving at a slow and soft pace. Greg pulled back his soft moan filling the van as he put his hands beside Pearl's head, using them to support him as he his hips picked up their pace. All the while, his eyes locked with her as her hands wrapped around his neck, her breasts swaying softly with each thrust.

Soon the van was rocking to the beat of their love making, the two meeting for an occasional kiss as Greg continued, the soft slaps of his hips against Pearl's was like music to their ears. As the minutes passed the more heated their exchange became, Greg's thrusts becoming more sporadic, his breathing becoming heavier with each passing second. Pearl's juices coated his cock, her wall's conforming perfectly around his member with every thrust heightening his pleasure even more.

Pearl could tell he was getting close, she loved the look on his face when he was. Greg's eyes closed, trying to regulate his breathing, desperate to last as long as he could until the last second. Pearl licked her lips, knowing just how to push him over the edge. Her small frame and flexible form made it easy for her to wrap her legs around his waist. Always catching him off guard as her arms reached up, pulling herself upwards as she wrapped herself tightly around him. Pearl's lips pressed to his, pulling his cock as deep as she could inside her as her walls tightened, eager to drain him for everything he had.

Greg was powerless to resist, sitting upright, he held Pearl in his arms as she swallowed down his moans, his cock throbbing as they blasted each thick rope of his seed into her. Spurt after powerful spurt filled her more and more with his hot cum, the feeling of her filling belly sent shivers of pleasure through Pearl's body.

Soon the air in the car was silent as the two sat in the middle of their bed, both locked in each other's embrace as they kissed, neither one of them wanting the moment to end. Unfortunately for Greg, he needed air as he pulled away from her lips with a gasp, the two falling softly onto the blankets as they laid beside one another panting.

"Phew…that was..intense." Greg whispered, feeling a bit of sweat build on his brow as Pearl smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed…but I see you're not quite finished.." Pearl remarked, her hand gently caressing his still stiff member as Greg chuckled and blushed. "Well what can I say…my Stamina has improved, and with such a beautiful gem like you as a partner.." Greg looked over and watched as Pearl moved herself on top of him. Straddling his waist, he rocked her womanhood against the length of his cock, coating it with her nectar before lifting herself up.

Holding his cock in place, she positioned his tip to her folds before slowly sliding down his length, inch after inch disappearing into her before all of his cock was gone. Squeezing her thighs together, Pearls smiled as her hands slowly slid up Greg's chest, admiring the developing abs forming as her fingers traced his skin.

To her this was yet another joy of nights like these, the way Greg let her take control, seeing him beneath her, this feeling of dominance that he gave her over him was like nothing she felt before. Slowly she began to move, lifting herself up and down his member as Greg's hands gently caressed her sides.

"Pearl…you feel..so amazing.." Greg moaned softly, forcing a giggled from Pearl. "You too, my love.." She said softly, bouncing herself faster on his cock. Leaning down, she let Greg's arms embrace her as the two kissed, peppering one another's face and necks with soft kisses as Pearl's hips continued to move.

"You're so beautiful." Greg moaned as the two continued and kissed. While Pearl had her tricks, Greg had one of his own for in the bed as the two kissed, his lips moved up to Pearl's forehead, placing a deep one against her gem as he felt her body tense and tighten around his cock instantly. Pearl gasped, gripping the sheets in what Greg assumed was the Gem equivalent to an orgasm. She barely caught herself in time to stifle her moan so as to not wake Steven. As Greg's lips slowly pulled from her gem, Pearl's hips began to move with renewed vigor and much more intense speed, the van bouncing with every slap of her sex against Greg's waist.

"P..Pearl..If you keep…I can't.." Greg moaned which only fueled Pearl to move her hips faster. "Do it..Greg..Let it all..inside me.." She panted. Greg reached down, Grabbing her rear tightly in his hands as he pulled her down onto his cock, moaning into her neck as his hips bucked with every powerful spurt of his seed. Pearl's toes curled, her hands gripping his long brown hair as she felt herself fill with even more of his hot cum, throb after throb filling her to the brim before she felt Greg's grip on her loosen and his body relax against the bed.

The both of them finally satisfied, Pearl slowly rolled off of Greg, his cock sliding from her folds, coated with the mix of their juices as Pearl let out a huff. Moving herself down, she slowly took his member into her mouth, making sure to clean up every drop from it before sliding it from her lips with a pop, savoring the taste before swallowing it down.

Moving back up to their pillows Greg softly stretched out as she could see the fatigue taking over him. With a bit of delicate readjusting, Pearl pulled the covers over Greg, herself propped up against her pillows and the seat behind her.

"That was incredible Pearl.." Greg said with a smile, laying on his side to watch her as she reached into one of the small storage spots in his van, pulling out a knitting kit and some yarn as she began working on the recently started project.

"Quilting?" Greg asked as she chuckled. "It's just something I picked up…I don't need sleep, remember? And I figured Steven would love a baby blanket so it helps pass the time. Not to mention I can patch up some of your clothing you keep tearing."

Greg chuckled as his hand reached over, softly caressing her thigh. "You're too good for me Pearl.." He said as his eyes grew somewhat heavy. "You know…when the house gets finished…seeing that we're together…do you think we should.." Pearl looked over, her light teal eyes glistening like stars as Greg's face turned dark red. "Hmmmm?" She questioned as he looked away embarrassed. "F..Forget it…another time." Greg chuckled as Pearl smiled, leaning down and placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Get some sleep Greg." she whispered, the only encouragement needed as Greg smiled "I love you Pearl." Greg said softly before, letting himself drift away to his dreams as Pearl continued her work.

As the hours passed, the quiet of the night and the van was all that filled the air, that and the soft snores of Steven and Greg as they slumbered. Pearl continued her work, making steady progress as the once small bit of quilting grew larger with each hour. In truth, it was out of desire to help pass the time that she picked up the hobby, but she would never tell Greg that it also was a welcome distraction from her own thoughts.

While most nights it would help, sometimes around midnight, she would get swallowed in thoughts and lose herself for a while. The many questions she had hardly any answers ringing through her mind as she sat. She often wondered if this was Rose's plan all along, or if she had any rights to be the parent that Rose was not around to be. She worried what kind of future she would have with Steven and Greg…seeing how their lives are but a small fraction of what a gem could be.

There were many more thoughts and that gnawed at her mind, sometimes it felt like it was all too much for one gem to handle. But no matter how bad they got, they would always be washed away when she looked over to her side, seeing Greg fast asleep with a smile on his face.

"He shuffled a bit, nuzzling against his pillow before murmuring softly. "Mmmm smells amazing Pearl.." he whispered, coaxing a giggle from her lips. It filled Pearl with a strange sense like she never felt before seeing that even in his sleep he was thinking of her. And as the months had passed since their relationship together without Rose, Pearl found herself also thinking of Greg most of the time as well.

Setting her knitting back into its little storage spot, Pearl adjusted her pillow behind her, wiggling her way under the covers as she moved over to Greg, finding herself a comfortable spot against his chest as his arms instinctively wrapped around her. His head, nuzzled in her soft peach hair as she nuzzled against his chest.

"I love you Greg." she whispered, knowing even in his sleep he could hear her as she decided to give herself to sleep tonight as well, all her worries and doubts washing away as she dreamed.
