Rose’s grip slacked slightly as she stared forwards. Blinking a few times before releasing her, nervously staring down at her.

❛ I-I don’t really know. I haven’t had much time to question... this. It’s weird. ❜ ⠀

⠀

Rose chuckles as he picks the boy up. Hugging him tight before placing him on her shoulder.

❛ Then let’s “hang out” as some 𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑠 say! It’ll be fun—— to bond like you said! ❜ ⠀

❛ You don’t even have to ask, Steven. I’d love to spend time with my favorite son! ❜ ⠀

❛ I see… I’ve had my fair share of complex and confusing feelings. If you need anything, I’m here for you. ❜ ⠀

❛ What’s wrong, Steven? Feeling lonely? ❜ ⠀

⠀

⠀ ⠀

Oh, it’s fine! She was just… thinking to herself!

❛ Ahaha, (*𝙚𝙭𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚)?! You’re truly too kind! I don’t use anything like that for my hair, unfortunately. ❜ ⠀

⠀

[☆𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋☆ 🇵🇸 @WellSpokenCutie]

Sorry! She couldn’t help but admire those beautiful pink locks!

Oh!

What a… nice smile!

❛ Aww, c’mere, my little star! ❜ ⠀

Rose stands, scooping the boy into her arms. Kissing his cheek as she hugs him tight.

@Shielded_Gem 🌺 / / Happy Birthday!!🎊🎂

⠀ ⠀

Rose held her close, tears beginning to form in her eyes as well. A slight smile tugging at her lips. A laugh escaping her as she tightened her hold, tears pouring down.

❛ Pearl… it’s so good to see you. ❜ ⠀

⠀

[⋆｡˚. ੈ𝓡𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝓠𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑧༉ @HIBIISCUSPETALS]

⠀ ⠀

Rose slowly approaches the other gem, arms gently wrapping around her. Pulling her into a warm yet hesitant embrace. Silence following her actions until she spoke,

❛ Hi, Pearl… ❜ ⠀

⠀

——— thumb wiping away the tears that fall from his eyes.

⠀ ⠀

Warmth spread throughout her being, the gem comforted by those words. Comforted by the presence of the child she thought she’d never meet.

❛ I love you too, my 𝑠𝑜𝑛. ❜ ⠀

A hand gently cups his cheek, ——

⠀ ⠀

A sigh of relief escapes her as she kneels before him, wrapping her arms around him. Hugging him tight——.

❛ Thank goodness. I’m so glad. ❜ ⠀

⠀

[⋆｡˚. ੈ𝓡𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝓠𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑧༉ @HIBIISCUSPETALS]

⠀ ⠀

Rose returns the gesture, her free hand taking ahold of his. Both hands gently squeeze his. A soft smile on her face.

❛ Wow, uh, I- Nevermind about me. Are you feeling alright? No dizziness, right? ❜ ⠀

⠀

[⋆｡˚. ੈ𝓡𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝓠𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑧༉ @HIBIISCUSPETALS]

⠀ ⠀

Tears gather in the corners of her eyes. Hands trembling as she rubs her temples.

❛ I-I don’t know... Everything feels so fuzzy a-and clouded in my head... ❜ ⠀
