You are My Universe (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)

"Kay." She stood up pulling her shorts down a bit. "I wonder how excited Sadie and Dennis are right now?" She laughed. "Alice, the other quints, and I pooled our money together and paid for their honeymoon."

Pearl blushed, and said, "I'm sure I could, but I wouldn't tell you because I have class."
 
"Well, when they are heading out for it?" Steven asked her as he laughed with her before he prepped the sofa for his dad to sleep on. "That is really cool and I hope they all have alot of fun," he added with a smile before he yawned. He held her hand before going to his bed and sitting on it. "Where are they going?" he asked.

Amethyst and Garnet couldn't help but smile at Pearl's intense blush and flusterness. "Pearl, you get flushed when anyone just mntions a naughty word," Amethyst couldn't help but tease before shapeshifting into Amethyst. "I am a prim and proper lady; lewd behavior? me? why how absurd!" Amethyst said though her imitation was devoid of malice. "Like we all could as Gems, but would yo want to?" she asked her.

"It is something to ponder about, Pearl. Everyone has needs, physical, mental and emotional. From what I udnerstand, beyond reproduction, it tends to be considered an intimate and passionate exchange, much like fusion is and hence those that abuse it are considered disdained," Garnet added.
 
"After dinner tomorrow, and I get to babysit Mason all weekend." Rai said as she followed Steven and pulled the covers down on his bed. "They're going to the city of love, Paris."

"Amethyst!" Pearl yelled blushing deeper before regaining her composure. She cleared her throat before continuing to speak, "I understand quite a bit about that, and I would be willing to at least give it a chance. I can't guarantee I'll do it more than once."
 
"Wow, hope they take lots of pictures," Steven said as he wrapped an arm around her before he snuggled up to her under the covers. "I'll help you take care of Mason," Steven told her with a soft smile.

"Pearl, I'm gonna stop joking and be real. You sure you want to? Like, have you even shapeshfited into that sort of human form and such?" Amethyst said as she got a slightly more serious tone as she crossed her arms. SHe wanted Pearlt o be happy, but she didn't want Pearl to get into something she wasn't ready for. "And how would you even know what to do?" she added.

"The best person to talk to would probably be Greg, if only because he could probably explain how Rose did it," Garnet added.
 
"I know." Rai said with a smile kissing Steven. "I was planning on coming back here after dinner with him."

"Raiden did joke about learning about that kind of stuff from the internet." Pearl said thinking before her eyes big and she had a look of disgust. "I'm not sure we want him to explain how Rose did it... and honestly I think I'd be more comfortable talking to a female about it."
 
"All right, that'll work and Dad could help us if we need it," Steven told her before he yawned once more and snuggled up closer to Rai. "Good night, Rai, I love you," Steven told her softly before he kissed her forehead and he was on the trail to fall asleep.

Greg went up ahead to unlock the beach house while the Gems were still talking. "Yeah, but would you even know what to search?" Amethyst said as she raised her eyebrow. "I am not sure who you could talk about that," Garnet confessed before Greg got the door open for them to ebter and get some well-earned sleep.
 
Steven fell asleep holding Rai in his arms and with a smile on his face.

"Looks like they've already fallen asleep," Greg told the Gems in a hushed whisper as he saw them asleep. "I'm gonna change and then head to asleep as well," he told them before he went to the bathroom and changed into some pajamas before heading to sleep in the couch that Steven had prepped up for them.

"Well, god luck, Pearl," Amethyst told her with a smile. Score she and Garnet went to bed as well.
 
The next day went by pretty fast, Rai made breakfast before heading home to help get ready for dinner. Eventually evening came, and Steven and everyone else made their way to the Kostas house. It was a small farmhouse with a large yard located just outside of town. There was a chicken coop with probably five chickens, a couple of goats roaming around the yard, and a large white dog with brown spots was sleeping on the porch that wrapped around the house.
 
The rest of the day came by quickly and Diego could not spend time with Pearl because he had to come into work. His co-worker calle din because of a nasty hangover so he just stood voer the bookstore and managed the whole place, it was a quiet place.

"Is everyone ready?" Steven asked everyone. Greg looked confident that everything will go all right. Garnet just smiled and nodded while Amethyst gave a thumbs up. "Are Lapis and Peridot just running late?" Greg asked.
 
Pearl did stop by the bookstore to bring Diego lunch and spend sometime with him. She did have to leave to go back to the beach house to meet up with everyone.

She walked into the house in the time to hear Greg's question. "They said they'd meet us there." She said.
 
However, Diego was happy to see that Pearkl did come visit him for some quality tiem together and she even brought him lunch. They spent some time talking about various topics and just enjoying one another's company. Pearl brought him some pizza from the Pizza family for lunch and he eventually waved her good-bye.

Greg held open the door for Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst to step in while Steven walked in alongside Rai. "Good evening," Greg told them cheerfully, going to make a good first impression.
 
Rai met them at the door to let them in. The door opened up to a small platform with two sets of stair; one leading to the second floor and the other to the adjoining living room. Chris, a man looking like an older Chris, and a third man that was significantly paler than the other two sat on the couches watching football. They all stood up when seeing the guest. "Everyone these are my grandfathers, Chris Senior and Giorgios." Rai said. Two women walked out of the kitchen. "This are my grandmothers, Tula and Haris. And this is my boyfriend, Steven, and his family; Greg, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl."
 
Steven led Greg and the Gems through the house and following Rai up to where the grandparents were. "It's a pleasure to meet you," Greg said with a smile as he presented his hand for them to shake. Amethyst just waved while Garnet just nodded. "It's nice to meet you all," Steven told them with a big smile on his face.
 
"Well dinner is almost ready." Tula said. She was slightly tan with dark grey hair and was clearly Rai's paternal grandmother. "If you ladies would set the table." She was referring to the Gems.

"Rai go get Greg a beer while you're in the kitchen." Chris Sr said.

"Yes, sir." Rai said as she went to retrieve the beer.

Pearl and the other Gems followed her so they could seat the table, seeing Lapis and Peridot already there. Lapis was stirring a pot and Peridot was standing on a stool cutting vegetables.
 
"Um, Rai wait, I don't really drink beer or any alcohol really," Greg told her so she wouldn't have to go and do so. Both Steven and Greg took note of how traditional everything was, though it didn't look like there would be much issue... yet anyway.

"When did you guys get here?" Amerhyst asked Lapis and Peridot when they were in the kitchen. "Shouldn't we go and help?" Steven asked Rai's grandparents.
 
Rai returned to the living room with two cans, saying, "That's why I got you a soda, Mr. Universe." She handed one can to Greg and the other to Steven.

Chris Sr raised an eyebrow at her. "Calling your boyfriend's father by his last name Rai?" He asked.

"Yes sir." Rai said before returning to the kitchen.

Chris Sr nudged his son, saying, "Keep your eyes on those two or you might be a grandpa again."

Giorgios chuckled at Steven's question, "If we were having barbecue then we'd be working the grill but since we're not, the food is the women's job."

"About ten minutes ago." Lapis said.

Pearl went to the counter that had a stack of plates, utensils, and cups on it. She grabbed the plates and handed them to Amethyst. "Put one out for everyone." She instructed before grabbing the silverware so she could go behind Amethyst and place the silverware in its spot.
 
"Thanks, Rai," Greg saidnwith a smile before he and Steven looked to Chris Sr."i don't mind. Not a lot of people call me Mr. Universe nowadays," Greg said with a smile before Steven also chuckled. "That doesn't make sense though," Steven said with a frown as he looked at them.

Amethyst just shrugged and nodded before she went and put the plates. "So far, these guys aren't like Andy, least not as much back then," Amethyst noted to Pearl.
 
"Before she was dating your son did she call you by your first name?" Chris Sr asked.

"Yeah." Greg responded in a questioning tone.

"That's because to our community, you call your friends' parents by their first names but if you're dating someone and things are pretty serious, you call their parents by their last name as a sign of respect." Chris Sr responded. "Rai calling you by your last name is our communities way of her saying that she wants you to know that she respects you as her possible future father-in-law. Molly did the same with me and my son did the same with her parents."

Rai started putting food on plates, telling Amethyst, "That's because dinner hasn't started. When everyone is together they'll start being embarrassing."
 
"Well, I mean she can still call me Greg. It doesn't bother me," Greg explains to Chris Sr. "I'm gonna go help out," Steven said, not really comfortable just standing there when he could go out and help with the cooking. "I imagine that you'll be heading back to Greece within a few days since the wedding ended," Greg wondered out loud. "Beach City's never really had such a large group of people here before," he noted.

"Well, I'm sure it won't be that bad," Amethyst said in a reassuring tone. Garnet just placing a comforting hand on Rai's shoulder.
 
The two older men laughed. "We live in Florida." Chris Sr said. "As does most of our family."

"I just wanna apologize in advance for anything they say." Rai said quietly so only the Gems would hear.

"Okay dinners ready!" Tula called.
 
Greg and Steven turned to Tula and proceeded to head to the table. "I helped ut," Steven said as he is carrying several large dishe and placing them on the table so everyone could help themselves. "Oh wow, this looks really nice," Greg complimented before he pulled the seat for Pearl, Steven for Rai while Garnet and Amethyst sat themselves.

"Did Rai explain do you about Gems and eating?" Steven asked curiously.
 
Everyone took their seats. "Rai would you say grace?" Tula asked.

"Yes, ma'am." Rai said as she folded her hands and bowed her head. "Thank you, Lord, for the food you have given us and for another day so that we may follow your word. I pray that you bless everyone at this table, amen."
 
Steven and Greg just folded their hands while also bowing their heads. They were not believed though. Both Greg and Steven were agnostic and in fact Steven never gave much thought on that given that Beach City was never religious, even lacking a church. The Gems just followed to be respectful, but they didn't seem to believe in a fed, the closest formally being the Diamond Authority, though they've long stopped believing in them.
 
After the prayer everyone who wanted to eat began to. "So is Steven an only child?" Tula asked.

Rai took a deep breath and closed her eyes knowing this was just the beginning of the questions.

"Yes, he isn't pearl said politely.

"And you all never considered adding more children?" Tula continued to ask.
