Pearl's pov

The weather was finally warm for a change, so the Saturday after Opal saved the Audio Video club we jumped at Rose's invitation to visit her home.

I, of course, was estatic. Rise had requested only Opal and I attend which meant Amethyst couldn't possibly ruin anything, and I didn't have to crowd into the backseat fot the first time in weeks!

"I'm so excited to see Rose!" I exclaimed. "It's been so long since we've simply had a chance to talk!" Opal nodded.

"Yeah. You're both pretty busy. But now we're... here?" Rose's father's car was parked in the driveway, an odd sight as he was almost always working, but not totally unexpected. However, Greg's van was in the driveway too, and it appeared Greg had attempted to park as far away from Rainbow's car as possible without hitting the house.

"Oh..." I said, with minor disappointment.

"Looks like it's a party." Opal slung her purse over her shoulder and got out of the car, ushering me along.

"Why is everyone here?" I whispered as we neared the front door.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence," Opal whispered back. She knocked on the door tensly. I begged for the atmosphere inside the house to be different, but from the moment Mr. Quartz opened the door I knew it wasn't true.

Rose sat on the sofa in between Rainbow and Greg. Rainbow sat with her arns and legs crossed lookinh rather aggrivated as she looked away from Rose. Her tulle skirt falred around her and made her look like a model. Greg, however, sat with his head in his hands, looking like any second he could laugh or cry. Rose sat stoically in the center, glaring at her mother, whom held her usual strained smile, but also smiling at Opal and myself.

It was evident in the air that a screaming match had just commenced. From the way Mrs. Quartz held the strained smile she broke into when she fought with her husband to the way Mr. Quartz held his cigar in his mouth.

"Oh look who's here. It's Opal, come to save the day with her enthusiasm. Well news flash, Opal, you can't." Rainbow said with heavy hostility.

"Um... did we come at a bad time? We can leave..." Opal offered uneasily.

"You're already here. Stay." Mr. Quartz said bitterly, lighting his cigar.

"Could you please not smoke in the house?" Mrs. Quartz asked, exhausted.

"It's my house." She sighed.

"What's going on?" Opal asked. Rose smiles and chuckled.

"You'll never believe it, Opal. I'm going to have a baby."
