Peridot's pov

Centi was the best thing to ever have happened to me. After a few days Em returned from the hospital and Yellen and I got to experience something we wished we hadn't;a child screaming at all hours of the night.

Centi was nowhere near the perfect child, but then again the definition of perfect is highly debatable. All I knew was that she was my sister and I loved her. Yellen loved her too. It was as if someone had removed whatever rivalry we had.

Pearl seemed to be even more concerned for Centi's wellbeing than I was. At all hours of the day she reminded me-either in person or via text message- of how to properly care for a child. Pieces of information such as "Don't let her sleep on her stomach." Or, "Don't forget to pat her back in a circle when burping her." It was all information we knew, but I thanked her nonetheless.

After the second week of Em being home Pearl and Amethyst came to visit.

"Woah P... She's so... Mini." Amethyst exclaimed softly, examining Centi's features. Pearl was seated between us on the couch lightly cradling Centi in her arms.

"And remember, Peridot, that in the middle of the night babies can roll on to their stomachs and crush their windpipe and die, so you should watch her sleep."

"I... Think we'll be fine with just the monitor." Pearl nodded.

"I've always wondered what it was like to have a little sister... This is so cool!" Amethyst grinned as Centi woke up from her nap and looked up at her long lavender hair.

"Thank you for letting us visit." Pearl said.

"Don't worry, you girls are welcome any time!" Mother entered with a bottle. "I suggest you hand her off, Pearl, before she starts screaming." Pearl nodded, and gladly handed mother the now screaming child. The screaming subsided when mother began to feed her.

"We're going upstairs now." Mother nodded, and I led my friends to my bedroom.

"Have you seen Lapis's sister yet?" Pearl asked.

"Only once. Once she and Centi are big enough, mother and Lapis's mother have arranged a play date."

"Sounds like fun." Amethyst commented, already at home on my bed.

"Rose is going to have her baby soon..." Pearl trailed off.

"What's wrong?" I asked, grabbing her hand.

"What does she see in that... That beast? Gregory doesn't even attend Crystal Prep!"

"Greg is cool." Amethyst offered from the bed. "He has long hair and lives in a van."

"Exactly!" But now she's going to have a baby with him?"

"I don't know Rose as well as you... But I do know that she must love Greg an awful lot. Em said that a mother falls in love with a child before they're even born. Rose loves the baby unconditionally, and I'm sure that with the financial support of her family, she'll be a great mother!" Pearl smiled.

"Thank you, Peridot."
