Choices

  Connie ran her fingers through Steven's hair as she scrolled through her phone. The hybrid smiled as he laid next to her, she was studying for history class while waiting for something to happen. She looked up from her phone as an idea came to mind, she looked down at Steven thinking. "Maybe I could keep a document? It would be easier to keep track of you three and if something were to happen..." it took a while of thinking but she eventually decided it was better to keep track of them. Pulling out a notebook from her bag she opened it quickly sketching something out, "Steven..." She spoke as she wrote his name on top of the drawing. The hybrid lifted his head hearing his name, opening his eyes he looked at the drawing. He sat up putting a claw on it, "Steven, your gonna scratch the paper and get it wet" Connie said taking his claw off.

'Steven (Hybrid)

· Still corrupting'

  "Could be the reason you keep getting these spikes of pain" Connie thought out loud.

'Steven (Hybrid)

· Still corrupting, could be cause of the pain

· Could still be growing limbs

· Cookie Cat's often calm him down

· Careful with left foot, unhealed bruising

· Careful with head too, new thorns/horns (???) Coming in

  The alarm on her phone went off as she sighed gathering her things, "I have to go bud" she said. Steven followed her as they went through Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst's rooms. Saying her final goodbyes, their caretaker left. On her way out she turned off the electric fence with a remote going through the built in door. Walking on the beach she was met with Greg "oh hey Mr. universe" she greeted, "Hey Connie have you seen Steven or the gems anywhere? They said they were going on a mission and that they'll be gone for a while. It's been five weeks!" He said concern lingering in his voice. "I looked everywhere I even tried looking at the temple but there was an electric fence and it's starting to scare me" he continued "uh, sorry but I haven't seen him or the gems anywhere" she lied as sweat ran down her face. "I'll be sure to tell you once I find something" she offered as Greg sighed "thanks for the help, Connie" she gave him a small smile "I'm sure we'll find them."

  She didn't sleep that night, she couldn't decide if she should tell him. 'I can't imagine what my parents would do if I randomly went missing' she made her final decision.  Connie ran to the temple opening the door only to be greeted by Amethyst happily jumping on her, she laughed as the purple Quartz got off. Petting her soft mane, she continued her journey to Rose's/Steven's room. He was happy to see her like always, "hey Jam bud" she said petting him while he put on a smile of satisfaction. "Time for your weekly checkup," she said making him lay down so she could make sure nothings wrong. She looked at his tail seeing the tip of it starting to curl "well that was fast" she stated. Lifting his arm Connie poked under it making Steven flinch and try to put down his arm, "still sensitive" she went up to his head pushing some of his hair out of the way only see a small horn. "Well nothing seemed to change that much," she said as Steven huffed, she chuckled a bit before calmly petting him "do you want to see your dad again, Steven?" He instantly lifted his head at the mention of his father. "I guess that's a yes, come," she said standing up as the hybrid followed excited, once at the door she told him to wait while she went to go tell Greg about the news about his kid.
