(Lapis's POV)

I was still in the meeting with the Peridot to make a statement on why we should get another human to bring to the zoo, but no matter what, she won't take it. I know she works under Yellow Diamond, but I said Blue Diamond has an interest in these creatures. She only left and saw what others had to say and it's a very slim chance because that's a whole other diamond authority to her. I heard voices out of the room until the door opened and the Peridot walked in with a bit of an annoyed look on her face.

<figure></figure>

Peridot-I was told you already made a request for this '(Y/N)'. As long as it doesn't slow down our current mission. As for these other gems, I requested an escort, but with only three in your report, they said to use the ship. It's just a simple check-up on the cluster. The (Y/N) can wait until after.

Lapis-Ok... When are we leaving?

Peridot-Now. The ship is waiting for us.

(Pearl's POV)

The stroller was holding up just fine with (Y/N) aside from him trying to hide, but everyone needs to know who he belongs to... Us. I was the one pushing the stroller since Garnet could keep people at a good distance and Amethyst... We just don't trust Amethyst going wild with pushing the stroller. We had a few times where someone came too close, so Garnet kept them at a fair-looking distance and (Y/N) tried to pull down the hood of the stroller, so I pulled it back up. When we made it to the house and when Garnet knocked on the door, we expected no answer, so we just walked in.

Pearl-Hello... Mr. and Mrs. (L/N).

Amethyst-Anyone home?!

There was no answer and I smiled to myself a little before I took (Y/N) out of the stroller and he went directly to his room. I followed him and saw he just went straight to his bed like he missed the feeling of being in it.

<figure></figure>

I went up to him and sat next to him while he looked at me with a bit f relief in his eyes. I guess he was really homesick. He still blushed for me after that little stunt we did to break him in for us. He went under his blankets before Garnet came in the room and we gave each other a look.

<figure></figure>

Garnet-Nobody is home, but if you want, we can stay here until tonight.

(Y/N)-Mommy and Daddy aren't here?

Pearl-They just might be at work or something.

He looked a tad bit sad again, so I pulled him closer to me. After rocking him for a bit I saw a family picture in the hallway from his room. I know he is thinking of his parents, but he should only be loving us.

(Amethyst's POV)

Loved the couch they had here because it was a lot comfier than our couch at home. I turned on the T.V. and saw it was on a commercial break. While I was waiting for a burger one to be over, it took me to another commercial. This one was about some kind of tracking tag and you can get an app to pull it on the radar. I just changed the channel until I found a good show to watch until we leave tonight. When I saw (Y/N) come out here, he only looked out the window to see this neighborhood under construction.

<figure></figure>

Amethyst-Looking for something?

(Y/N)-My mom should be off today.  She might be back soon.

Amethyst-Oh... That's cool. Hey, wanna be a good boy and come lay with me? I made this form extra snuggly for you. ~

He did what I asked, but his eyes were still fixed on the window which got on my nerves. I don't want him to mope around for his parents when we finally get rid of them. Why does everything have to be so complicated? Killing that amusement park owner was so easy and nothing ever came back to us aside from missing posters in a few places. I stroked his back, but this was mostly to get him from pushing himself up to look out the window for his STUPID FUCKING MOTHER!!!

(Y/N)-Amethyst?... Are you ok?

Amethyst-Why do you ask?

(Y/N)-You're stroking kinda hard... I think you're mad about something.

Amethyst-Not sure what.

(Y/N)-I'm gonna... go to go outside for a bit... Garnet and Pearl are in my room if you want to talk to them about... gem stuff.

He tried to get up, but I held him against me and did not let him go. I just turned over to have me on top of him and gave him more cuddles while looking him in the eye.

Amethyst-Nah... You're staying with me.

He tried to talk to me, but I just ignored him until I paid half attention when he talked about his parents again.

(Garnet's POV)

Saphire used future vision and it just shows (Y/N) was really damaged by the disappearance of his parents. He slips into depression and doesn't play until he gets sick sometime soon. Pearl did not want that to happen either, so we had to get his parents in check and soon. Future vision helps a lot, but pitching ideas also narrows it down. We needed something that keeps them in our sights and control, even from a distance.

Pearl-Cameras will be an obvious choice and we will need them with a mic hidden in every room in the house and even catching outside. Including the bathrooms to make sure they don't plan anything in the house.

Garnet-They can still do it outside somewhere or runoff.

Pearl went on (Y/N)'s computer to look up how to track your child and it showed a few methods, but the one that stood out to her was...

Pearl-Chipping... A small chip is placed under the skin to allow fully secure tracking. I'm not putting anything like that in our baby!

After checking the future of this plan.

Garnet-... It won't be for our baby.

((D/N)'s POV)

I was trying to keep calm with my wife and then the door opened to show Garnet and Pearl and Pearl had a clipboard with her.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

(M/N) sat up and backed up against the wall with me when Pearl came up to us to give me the clipboard and show us the key to these chains. The clipboard she gave me had a list on it.

Pearl-You wanted to strike a deal?... Here it is.

Garnet-You will get everything on that list and follow those instructions. Only then we will let you see (Y/N) again.

I took a look at the list that Pearl gave me. Cameras with mics for every room in the house with bathrooms and closets included, get microchips to track us and our car, a tablet for the chips and camera/audio feed, and smart locks that can be locked wirelessly. New rules are no holding (Y/N), we call in every morning, evening, and night to check in with them, we will follow instructions over the phone in the event a gem is not in our house, we are to be locked in our room at 10 PM or told to by a gem, when we are both not home, we bring (Y/N) to them, and lots of other rules that reached 5 pages.

(D/N)-But these rules are-!

Garnet-It is that or no deal and you will stay here until you agree.

(M/N)-This is a violation of human rights! You can't do this to us! I mean... No leaving my room late at night or coming home late without getting locked out?!

Pearl-Then go sleep in the car or even get a dog house. We don't care.

I looked at the pool of lava and how creepy this room was...

(Timeskip 2 Hours)

((Y/N)'s POV)

(Y/N)-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Amethyst was blowing on my tummy while Garnet and Pearl were out to bring my parents home. I got excited to see them again and Amethyst wanted to play outside and she had me pinned in the grass. Just then I saw Mommy and Daddy come up to the house with Garnet and Pearl. THEY DID IT!!!

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

I ran up to Mommy and Daddy and they had a lot of bags and bandages around their arms.

(Y/N)-Where were you?! I missed you so much!

Mommy-Oh, Mommy and Daddy just went to the doctor before doing some shopping for the house. Pearl is going to help us make some home safety improvements for when Lapis comes back.

Daddy-Just stay out here and play with Amethyst... The gems are also staying over tonight. For protection until the house is safe.

I was starting to think they never wanted to bring me home because of Lapis or something. Now the house is going to be safe for us again and Lapis won't get in after whatever the gems do is done. Maybe when Lapis sees fighting won't work, she will finally listen to me.

(Blue Diamond's POV)

I was going through reports and found some related to 'her' planet. There, I read that the report was from a Lapis Lazuli talking about a human that goes by... (Y/N). A very odd thing to call a human, but I paid it no mind and read the rest of the report. Reading about that planet made me tear up from memories and I treated to my quarters to get my mind off of it.

Blue's mind-Oh Pink... Pink... I am so sorry. I should have done more.
