You were in the middle of a mission with Garnet and Steven, one of the corrupted gems that were still there had attacked and Garnet was closest because of your hesitation. You were slipping, and it was getting harder and harder to control it.

Garnet noticed, and held you close, wrapping an arm around your shoulder.

"We should head back. We've already bubbled two corrupted gems, we'll come back tomorrow." You nod as you three head to the warp pad, warping home, fear evident on your face, keeping your head down to not face Steven. Nor Garnet.

When the three of you returned, you went to your room, relaxing once the door closed. You made sure no one entered, and sat down in the small nursery Pearl and Amethyst helped you make. They made you feel safe.

Your physical form changed to that of a L-A human. It was your way of destressing and calming down. You crawl into a wobbly waddle, going over to a touch pad, pictures of the gems popped up once you approached.

Pewi? No.

Lapi? No.

Bismy? No.

Amet? No.

Pirb? Yes. You splay your small hand to the contact picture of Pearl, the image shaking as it called.

"Oh! Y-N! You're back from the mission already?"

"Ya, Pirb... Comes down, pease??" Recognizing the change of voice and how you pronounced things, you heard Pearl smile.

"Of course. I'll be down in five minutes. Can you wait for me?"

"Yah, Pirb!"

"Good girl!" You giggle and coo as the call ends, falling on your rear before getting on all fours and crawling to get some coloring books out and crayons Amethyst had gotten you.

Exactly five minutes after the call, you heard Pearl come down, having dealt with the unbearable mess that is Amethyst's room to get to the small nursery she, Amethyst, Lapis, Peridot, and Bismuth built.

"Hey, Y-N!"

"Pirb! I 'aited!"

"Yes, you waited, good girl! That mission was scary wasn't it?"

"Ya! Two big meanie gems twied attacking me den, den, Garnen came in, pow pow! Dey were bubbad and sent hewe!" Pearl picked you up, setting you at the small table you generally ignored accidentally, and made you something to eat.

"How grand, Y-N. I wish I could have joined you, to help, but Steven and Garnet were insistent that I stay and help Amethyst with getting groceries with Greg." She made you your F-L-F, making you squeal and kick your little legs, hitting your hands against the plastic. Pearl, after letting the food cool down considerably, set the food down at the table you sat at, sat on her legs, and began feeding you.

That was when Garnet and Steven and a very distraught Amethyst came in. You hadn't noticed until you ate whatever Pearl gave you, and drinking a bottle of milk, your small hands holding it as you practically inhaled the delicious liquid. To say you were shocked was an understatement. You looked at the stars in Steven's eyes, and the blank stare of Garnet's hidden eyes, and you hid behind Pearl, who ran her slender fingers through your H-C H-L hair, and looked at the two gems.

"How long has she been like this?" Garnet broke the silence.

"Not long. Ever since after the mission you three were on. Ever since the war, she has had attachment issues." Pearl picked you up as you hid your face in her shoulder, shaking.

"When she found Amethyst and I in the Kindergarten, she hasn't let us go since. This is what humans call a 'Littlespace'."

"Mm. Where trauma causes one to regress to process emotions or avoid certain situations." Pearl nods.

"Right. She was afraid of telling you both incase you didn't love her like you do when she is one of us." Steven chuckles.

"Miss out on this cutie? Man, she has us wrong. We're not like that." Garnet nods.

"Yes, she could've at least given us a note or some sort of sign to tell us when she was slipping." Garnet smiled, walking over to you and Pearl, and gently rubbing your hair.

"Come, N-N. We can unfuse if it makes you feel better." You look at Garnet, confused.

"Wubi an Safi ould ufoos fo me??"

"Yes." Garnet takes off her shades, her eyes looking at you with excited, gentle, and calm eyes, letting you enter her arms without much hesitance as you sit comfortably in her arms.

"I wike Garnen bettew.." You lay your head against her chest, looking at Steven, who cooed at you, loving this form.

From a hard day to a pleasant evening, it wasn't as bad opening up as you thought.
