Fifty Six-The reveal
Pearl's pov
I opened my eyes.
"Wh-what?" I tried to sit up, but Opal held me down.
"You fainted Pearl, are you alright?" Rose asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Why on Earth did I-" I remembered everything. "Rose!" I exclaimed, sitting up too fast for Opal to stop me. "You're pregnant?!" Rose smiled feebly. "How?" Her smiled faded.
"Um, Pearl... you've gone to Health class before, haven't you?" I suddenly felt like a complete idiot. Or as Peridot would say, a clod.
"Oh. But still! What are you going to do?"
"What any pregnant woman would do. Have a baby and love happily ever after."
"Rose, that's not always how things work out." Greg said, entering the room. "Here Pearl, have some water." I accepted the drink with a shaky hand.
"What do you mean Greg?" Rose asked.
"I mean sometimes a baby isn't the best thing for a couple. I know plenty of people who had kids and it ruined their lives. Just look at my parents." He looked down.
"He's got a point, Rose." Opal chimed in. "You're only fifteen-"
"Sixteen next week!"
"But still! You should consider this." She crossed her arms.
"I'll be fine." Rose assured. Opal sighed.
"I'll get Pearl home." She helped me up and out the door.
"Where did Rainbow and Rose's parents go?" I asked once we were safely in the car.
"Rainbow yelled that Rose was tearing the family apart, and her parents started yelling at each other. Eventually they all left in different directions when you fainted." Opal explained. "Rainbow's in her room talking on the phone, Mrs. Quartz is crying in the kitchen, and Mr. Quartz drove away." I nodded, and looked out the window.
"I don't think Rose understands what she's doing." Opal sighed, but I could tell it was for a different reason.
"Me neither, Pearl. Me neither."
(A/N) Rose is fricken Preggers y'all.
Random fact of the day: The Book's title, The Stars And All The Rest, is supposed to divide the characters.
For example, it could divide the economic classes, sepeeating families like the Baroques and the Fuertas from families like the Diamonds and the Lazulis.
Or, it could divide social classes, for example, dividing Jasper as a jock, Lapis as a popular kid, Peridot as a nerd, or Pearl as an outcast.
Or it could be about how some characters idolize others.
Whatever you wanna think.
