Glow Week Day Four: Nurture/Nature
Comet was a... well, Comet had lots of love to give to his parents. Instead of play with the other children at the park, Comet preferred to stay with his parents and watch. He was curious, but reserved.
Tons of pediatrician visits told them nothing was wrong, but Connie couldn't stop her worrying until they had visited the Crystal Gems one particularly sunny day.
"Whoa, who let these little crazies in the house?" Greg asked with a hearty laugh as the girls squealed and ran for him.
Steven glanced away and down to his son, clinging to his leg. Comet was only 3 since Connie had had a lovely 3 months of recovery before they'd accidentally made a third child. But now his pink eyes met with his fathers and Steven immediately picked him up. Comet hadn't shown any signs of gem powers at all, but his eyes turned pink when he was feeling frustrated or nervous.
"Hey there, Comet. Grandpa will come see you once you're calmer." Greg had easily picked up on Steven and Connie's hints that Comet was gun shy. The gems took a bit longer but once they'd seen a bit of overstimulation, they'd backed off at a warning from two pink eyed people.
Connie patted Comets back as he laid on Stevens shoulder. The man instinctually began to sway to soothe him in the way a parent does once they are accustomed to the lifestyle. "Doctors say he's fine. It's just a bit behind his milestones."
Steven had the urge to remind her about milestones not being concrete, but kept his mouth shut as Garnet stepped out of the temple room and grinned. "I... predicted something like this might happen."
The girls gasped and little footsteps turned into them climbing Garnet.
"Garnet, yesterday I beat Azalea in a race!"
Lucky giggled as Garnet picked her up one handed and Azalea up by the back of her shirt. "I bet I could beat both of you."
"That's no fair! You have future vision!" Azalea proclaimed. "Amethyst has to play too! Mommy, Daddy, can we go play outside?"
"Of course." Steven grinned and moved out the door. "It's a beautiful day just... Be safe. Please."
"And you say I'm a worry wart," Connie teased as they all piled out. The day was too nice to not join them, and despite his care to make sure his father was okay, Steven was a tiny bit of a helicopter parent.
"I just love soaking up as much memories as I can. Plus, there's always a chance of trouble," Steven pointed out, pulling her onto his lap. "I love my perfect little family."
Greg chuckled and sat down wearily. "It's nice isn't it?"
The longing in his father's voice made him once again feel guilty. He'd never experienced anything like this with Rose. It wasn't fair.
He watched as Lucky and Azalea charged across the decidedly slippery sand to try and slap Garnets hand and race back. The unending energy was fascinating to him. Even with his stamina being endless, he could still only tolerate running for so long before he was too sweaty and bored to continue. But their little bodies seemed to be bursting at the seams with motivation.
Except his little Comet. Comet had one arm behind Steven as he leaned and one hand playing with his Mommy's hair as she rested back against him.
After a while Garnet tagged Pearl in, who Azalea immediately began asking to show all the places she'd been. After careful and straightforward discussion, Pearl knew which places to show and which to save for an older age where she would process the real story better.
Garnet was silent, stoic as she watched the children of what she supposed was like a human son to her. She could see endless possibilities with every ticking second, but the scene in front of her was far more interesting.
The rest chatted until the girls asked for water and dinner, so they all packed up and headed inside.
"You coming, Garnet?" Greg asked. "It's gonna get dark soon."
"I'm not afraid of the dark. I've got me as company."
As dinner came near, Connie heard the front door open and shut. Immediately her Mommy Senses were tingling and she followed the sound to watch as her 3 year old walked down to the beach and sat next to Garnet. "Steven."
He excused himself and joined by her side. They watched as Comet did his signature lean and Garnet patted his head. No words that they could hear through the screen or the ocean were exchanged. It seemed they were sitting in a comfortable silence.
"Maybe he's just quiet," Connie relented softly. "Maybe we just birthed a quiet child, and I have to be okay with three blabbermouths instead of four."
Steven sighed in relief. "Yeah, you think? Come on." He lifted her into his arms and thought really hard about telling Garnet dinner was ready. If he thought about it hard enough, it'd eventually become a possibility that he would. Instead he kissed his wife and sat her down gently, tapping her bottom as he passed. "Time for food, girls!" Then he paused midstep. Connie giggled just as Steven scoffed in offense. "Wait, what do you mean four blabbermouths? We only have three kids!"
She only laughed harder.

Glow Week Day 4: Nature/Nurture
Conniverse kids 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
When Connie heard the sharp gasp, she immediately turned to see Steven staring at his phone in horror. "What's the matter?"
He heaved a heavy, sad sigh and shook his head. "I accidentally deleted it."
Connie crossed over to pull his head into her stomach as he began to sniffle. "Oh, I know how special it was to you, Steven."
*
Lucky knew it would be her dad texting her at 3:45 to tell her he loved her, even though they were headed to the roller rink after the rest of the De Mayo- Maheswaren kids got off from school. She was still at the school with them even with being almost 18 and graduated early after she'd fallen in love with teaching. "Don't crash the van, Azalea."
"Actually, it's a van," Celeste mumbled as she turned to the next page in her book. "A van." She drew out the syllables like Lucky must be stupid and Azalea cackled.
"Fine then," Lucky replied cooly. "Don't crash Grandpas van."
"Careful, every time you say that it makes me wanna do it just to see if I have healing powers too," Azalea said, glaring at her a dangerous amount of time.
Lucky rolled her eyes and sighed. Azalea was definitely turning up the alternative teen vibes. At 13, she became they and they shaved their hair down to a pixie cut and dyed half of it lilac and half of it jet black.
Needless to say, Azalea got two suspicious parents trying to not freak them out while they drowned them in questions and their dad pretended to not be terrified out of his mind. Now they were 16, just barely.
Seraphine and Celine were still in their football gear, and once again Lucky wondered where the hell they'd gotten sports from among the musically and theatrically talented family. Comet was by far the least talkative of them all, but that kid could sing his heart out.
A notification on another app drew her attention back to the phone to see her dads text:
'Lucky,
I have kept a voicemail from you for over two years. All you did was to call me to tell me you loved me. I usually listen to it about 20 times a week. This morning while listening to it I received a phone call and accidentally deleted your voicemail. I am heartbroken and want it back on my phone. Please call me and leave me another "I just wanted to say I love you" message.'
Despite being a recently retired daredevil, Lucky was cursed with her father's proneness to tears. They healed too, but nothing felt quite as good as having a dad who loved them so much. She cleared her throat and held up the phone. "You know what we should do? We should leave dad one of those voicemails where we just tell him we love him."
"You'll both cry," Azalea laughed. "I suppose this one time I can let the L word slip."
Comet scoffed. "You're killing me, Azalea."
They grew an identical sneer to his. "Doesn't seem to be working."
"If you guys start arguing I'm going to record it for blackmail," Celeste warned them.
"I vote Comet. He's got super strength and music powers," Celine laughed. "I've been waiting for this fight forever."
"Not while they're driving!" Lucky pleaded but Seraphines voice carried above hers.
"Azalea could grow him a flower!" She belly laughed as Azalea glowered at her in the mirror.
"You guys realize you guys don't have your powers yet, right? At least I'm not a–," They licked their fingers and raised their hand to the flower bouquet sitting in the passenger side window for their father to give to their mother. At a single stroke they grew full of life again and they smirked at the twins. "At least I'm not a late bloomer. Or a crybaby."
"Hey!" Lucky snapped. "Pay attention, all of you. And I will have you know I will not cry today, and haven't in a while."
Comet raised a silent eyebrow but said nothing.
"Right. Okay..." She fumbled with her phone as she called her dad. What if this one wasn't as good? Lucky was a Daddy's Girl for sure, she'd feel so terrible if he hated it.
It rang a total of seventeen nerve wracking times for Lucky before the automatic voicemail began. 'Hey, you've reached the voicemail box of Steven Universe. If you're a Crystal Gem or Homeworld gem, please press one, and you'll be redirected to my business line. Thanks for calling!'
Their dad was such a happy-go-lucky dork. He was the greatest.
"Hey, Dad! I, ow!" She grunted at Azalea smacked her. "We were just calling to tell you how much we love you!" Lucky giggled.
Comet leaned forward. "Hey, Dad. I love you.”
"I love you too dad! It's Azalea, your favorite!" They waved at the phone even though he'd never be able to know.
"Twins reporting in to say you're the best dad in the world!" Celine cried from the very back.
"–And we love you! Dude, we had one job," Seraphine scolded as she retouched her makeup.
"Hi, Daddy!" A seven year old Celeste was suddenly torn away from her book with his same goofy grin. "I love you!"
Comet crossed his arms and mumbled under his breath, "She sure knows how to turn it on after threatening blackmail."
"Alright, Dad. Bye. I love you." Lucky clicked off the phone and half smiled, half grimaced. It probably could've gone cleaner if they'd done some more planning.
Comet rolled his eyes at her as Azalea crooned, "Daddy's Girl! Lame! Basic! Come to the dark side, be a Mommy's Girl."
"Yeah Seraphine, we all know Dads your favorite," Celine teased.
Her sister frowned into the mirror. "I love mom! We're getting distracted from Lucky."
Lucky scoffed. "I love mom too, Sera! Dad and I just vibe on the same level!"
Comet chuckled. "You're picking up his outdated slang that was outdated when he started using it." He kicked up his feet on the center console and ignored them swatting at his boots. "How strange it must be to not be loved by both parents equally."
"We should send mom a voicemail too," Celine suggested. "I'm all sweaty and gross, but we can't just send Dad one and not Mom."
"Only if Comet will sing~!" Azalea swerved the car back and forth until their siblings were all screaming.
*
When his phone started ringing, he broke out into the biggest grin ever out of nowhere. Lucky was sending him his voicemail, and as much as he wanted to talk to her, he kept his self control at bay until it stopped ringing entirely. He left it alone another couple of minutes longer, feeding the anticipation so she could for sure get everything in.
At the sound of her voice he teared up. The background noises of her van rattled a bit and he loved it. His daughter told him she loved him and that's it. He almost pulled the phone away from his ear before he heard Comet, projecting for once, telling him he loved him too. Steven pressed a hand to his heart and leaned forward as if that could help him hear it better when Azalea all but shouted how much they loved him and claiming once again they were his favorite. Which was not true. He'd explained it many times that he didn't have favorites, but if he were to take someone out for ice cream, he'd take Azalea. When called out he pointed out that Lucky was lactose intolerant and Comet didn't like ice cream, Celeste’s preference lied with crème brûlée and the twins were on a weird keto diet. Speaking of which, his puzzle piece twins were finishing each others sentences to tell him they loved him too. Celine was the forgetful but loyal twin and quarterback for the schools girls football team (which he was now learning just to be the loudest and most with it parent in the stands), and Seraphine was the organized jock cheerleader twin that he had no idea how to be more impressed with. Celeste, the little genius she was, squealed when she said she loved him and it made his heart ache to hold her.
"Alright, Dad. Bye. I love you!"
"Hey–!"
Connie poked her head around the corner, smiling at how he was shaking his head in disbelief. "Mind if I join you?"
He nodded tearfully. "We make such good children."
"Steven, we are out. of. time. I spent so much of my 20's and 30's pregnant or with babies." Still, she grinned. "Don't tell me we're adopting already."
He took a huge sniff of her perfume and sighed dreamily. "Maybe. I love kids."
Connie scratched at the scruff on his chin. "I wish you could carry them instead of me. It's so not fair you're the favorite." She squeaked as he pulled her onto his lap.
"Don't be ridiculous! Our kids love you. You're easily the hottest mom, you're organized and poised and you're smart, ugh." He pushed into her neck so he could press longing kisses there. "So incredible."
She playfully shoved him away. "Don't lie to spare my feelings. I'm perfectly fine with being a badass who doesn't take shit. If I'm not the favorite, so be it."
Just then her phone rang and she pulled it out to see Lucky calling. She almost answered but Steven snatched it away. "Biscuit, you give that back," Connie told him sternly.
Despite the momentary dip of his arm he let it go to voicemail and handed it back. "Just a bet. I bet they send you one too. Especially if Comet and Celine were in there."
Sure enough her phone lit up with a voicemail notification and she smirked victoriously up at him. "I'll bet mines better."
Honestly, it was a perfect tie.
As soon as she hit play, the kids started singing in a beautiful harmony, "Momma, I killed a man!" and then giggling as they shouted they loved her to Homeworld and back and then a hundred times over. Then it dissolved into arguing with Comet that he was her favorite so he should go first, him being so much like Azalea it was a little ridiculous the universe hadn't just made them twins. Comet must have grabbed the phone just at the end as he shouted, "Bye Mom! We love you!" and it cut out.
*
When they all were gathered up from their various activities again, they pulled up to see the living room, porch and their parents' bedroom light on.
There they were up in their bedroom with the window wide open, slow dancing and completely absorbed with each other. Their dad must have said something super lame because their mom threw her head back in laughter and he chuckled at himself before noticing the van.
He turned Connie and waved at them cheerfully.
Comet snorted. "I can hear mom now. 'Steven, you don't need to wave at them. They'll be inside in a minute.'"
Sera did her best impression of their father. "'Oh, Connie! I'm so in love with you! I love our kids! I love our life!" They fake swooned as they fell out of the van and into Luckys arms.
"Very funny. Hit the showers, you guys smell like little boys."

Day Three Glow Week: Rain or Snow
Connie bounced up to him with wide, shimmering eyes. “It’s raining.”
Steven cracked a smile and glanced out the rain covered window. “Good observation. You get a gold star.”
She tugged at his arm and he let her pull him into the humid night, almost immediately drenched from head to toe. She splashed in a puddle and whooped at the top of her lungs and of course, he followed suit.

Day Three of Glow Week: Rain or Snow
Steven liked rain. He loved rain even. The soothing sounds of the pitter patter against his roof, the huge droplets versus the thin spray, the coolness against his skin. He enjoyed it immensely.
Connie loved rain too, but her dislike for sudden loud noises had manifested into the fear of thunderstorms. The soothing rumbles she could handle just fine, it was the terror of not knowing when the next loud crack would come and nearly deafen her. Their proximity to the ocean did nothing for her either, the waves were tumultuous and only added to the sensory discomfort.
At the first loud crack, Steven stood up from the dinner table and called her. "Hey, Connie. How are you doing?"
She was sniffling, probably curled up into a ball. "I'm s-so glad you c-called. I'm so scared."
With that he whistled and tucked the phone between his shoulder and ear. "Five things you can see in your room."
She whined, he could hear the tremble behind it. "My door, the clothes in the closet, my computer, my blanket–,"
The call cut out for a moment, only a moment, and she dropped her phone.
"And you."
She looked like how she sounded. Her body was shaking and her eyes were red from crying. Her blanket was tucked tightly around her so only her face was visible, a face covered in tears and tense with anxiety.
He surged for her and wrapped her in his arms, cradling and rocking her gently. "It's going to be okay. I'm here."
She nodded, but another loud bang had her shoving off her blanket and climbing into his lap to cling to him in panic as she hyperventilated.
"Hey, Connie! It's okay, I promise! You're safe." He hated the way she was so afraid. He longed to do nothing but soothe her, but he didn't know how to fix weather. There probably wasn't a chance in hell he even could, his powers were in different fields.
"Here, I have an idea." He kissed her cheek as she loosened her grip. Summoning a bubble came easy, and Connie leaned back to stare at the pink safety.
She wiped at her face and tried to strain for the sound of thunder, but not much could pass through when he'd made it so thick. It was warm too, or maybe it was his natural body heat against her.
He watched her face silently, ready to break it if it was too much. Her eyes went up and around them, a hand tentatively pressed against it. Oddly enough, he found that cute.
"Thank you."

Glow Week Day Two: Casual or Surprise
Connie had told Steven they were going to the fair. She had told him it was casual. She had told him he didn’t need to do anything special but be there with her. She’d told him a lot of things, but apparently telling him things didn’t matter when he had selective hearing.
“Connie!”
She turned, expecting anything else but the suit jacket and matching skirt with ballet flats. “Oh my stars. You look beautiful.”
Steven rocked back and forth on his feet and smiled. “Thank you. You always look beautiful.” He grabbed her hand and kissed it. “Ms. Knight.”
She curtsied. “My Liege.”
“Shall we?”
“We shall.”
The skirt was not versatile in any way shape or form, but to Connie’s astonishment it just worked. Steven managed to use his sheer willpower and grace and pulled it off. She felt like she was dragging her jaw behind her the whole time, or self consciously tucking her hands over her own button up and jeans. She’d even thought her jeans were a bit too formal with how form fitting and decorated they were.
“So, riddle me this,” Steven murmured, pulling her from her thoughts. “You’ve been staring at me all day, what’s the matter?”
Connie wrinkled her nose and fed him another mini corn dog. “Do you know what casual means?”
Steven, despite being 19 now, still grew a little confused at times with terms. Half human body, whole human heart, but a little bit easy to have something go over his head. “Wear whatever you want?”
“Oh, Steven.” She smiled widely and shook her head in adoration. “Sure, let’s go with that.”
It wasn’t until that night at 4 am that she got a text filled with crying and laughing emojis and nothing else.
The following text came five minute later in the form of a video. He was topless with a horrified look of shock on his face. “Why wouldn’t you have said anything?! I didn’t mean to come overdressed, I would’ve just gone home and changed! I’m so so sorry, ugh, I’ve gotta make up for this somehow.”
She quickly messaged him back, ‘Why would I care? You looked so pretty!’
What felt like on the other side of the world, Steven picked his phone back up after scrubbing at his face in humiliation. He read her text and got even redder. “Please let me grow out of this phase before she becomes president.”

day 2 - CASUAL
Entry for @glowweek
Out of curiosity of how Steven would look with straight hair, Connie convinces him into straightening his hair. Unsurprisingly, he ends up looking like Greg from the 80s.
I was also going to draw Steven helping Connie dye parts of her hair a teal color, but I had run out of time. might make it later though :D

Another Glow Week Submission since I was late 🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵
Fireflies-
It was nearly Midnight. Summer breezes filled with the smells of dirt, animals, flowers and nature musk flowed through the night and rustled the grassy planes. Small creatures skittered about in the darkness and under logs and rocks to hide.
Out in the middle of the field were two star crossed lovers, gazing at the sky.
Connie could hardly believe Steven sometimes. He was so spontaneous and quick minded. While she herself was strategic and methodic. It left a sense of excitement in their relationship though, and she always looked forward to little moments like this.
*
Steven had woken up sometime in the night and stayed out of bed long enough for Connie to desire his warmth and seek him out.
He was standing on the porch just off the living room with his head tilted all the way back. She waited for him to move, but he did not. After about 5 minutes, she slid the door open quietly.
"That can't be comfortable." She crossed her arms and smirked at the hybrid.
"Actually, it's not as uncomfortable as you think." His head remained craned for a few extra seconds then he turned to look at her. His eyes flashed luminescent pink for a half a second and he walked close to her. "Let's go."
Connie was taken aback. "To bed?”
Steven shook his head. "No silly. Go out."
She snorted and poked the hybrids chest. "And go where, exactly? Everything is closed. It's past 11."
"We aren't going to a place of business, Connie," He said walking into the house past her. He looked back and motioned for her to follow him. A yawn broke through her curious grin and she did as directed.
Lion was sleeping on the living room couch when they came back in, but Steven stroked his mane until the mighty beast stretched and opened his eyes to give his owner a dirty look as if to say, "What?"
Steven leaned in and whispered into his ear for a bit and Lion stretched once again, yawned and stood by the back door with a huff of complaint at being woken.
"Connie, go grab your phone just in case Lion takes off."
He disappeared into the storage closet and Connie called out after him. "I never said I was going anywhere! I'm sleeeepyyy..." She whined.
"You'll live, Berry," Came the smug response.
Connie decided she was too tired to argue and went to grab her phone. She clicked it on and grimaced at the brightness. 11:11. "This had better be good, Universe," She mumbled, wrapping herself in her favorite robe.
By the time she was done, Steven was on Lion and ready to go. Connie crawled up and no sooner had she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend did Lion took off running through their open back door and across the sand. Connie could feel Lion getting ready to warp so she tightened her grip just before a loud roar ripped a hole in front of them that they charged through without hesitation. When the portal opened, it was to a field of grasses and flowers.
"Oh, Steven. It's gorgeous!”
"Wait there's a lot more where that came from! If you think that's cool, look at the blank area in the middle of the field. It's just big enough for two people, even if one of them is 6’11." He smirked and Connie rolled her eyes.
“My very big boy." She laughed and poked his side.
She stepped away as Steven reached into Lion and pulled out a massive blanket.
He spread it out over the flat area inside the plains and Connie sat in the middle of it all wondering what she was doing here.
"Steven, what-?"
"Just come lay on me," He implored, patting his chest.
Connie could never resist his sweetness. So she scooted a bit closer to listen to his heartbeat.
*
And now there they were, laying back on their blanket and staring up at the sky.
"There's Homeworld," Steven said, pointing towards a cluster of brightly colored stars.
"Hm. I see Ursa Major." Connie pointed in front of them. It was dominating the sky tonight it seemed.
"The Big Dipper!"
"Ooo, I wanna find the little dipper!" Connie scanned the sky and pointed at the tiny constellation.
"Aw, the little dipper is so small and cute." They said at the same time.
The Jam Buds burst out laughing and turned toward each other. They didn't need to tell each other they loved them, they could see it in their eyes. Connie laid her head on Steven's arm and nuzzled him sweetly.
"Thank you for bringing me out here," She whispered. 
"Just wait." Steven stood and brushed the grass, causing a cacophony of green lights to rise slowly into the night air.
"Firefly chasing?" Connie proposed.
Steven laughed and nodded. "You’re on!!!!"
They chased the fireflies over and over, through the grass and into the air. Steven would even jump to catch a wayward one to present to her.
They did that for hours and hours. It was nearly 3 by the time they decided to just enjoy nature for awhile. They laid down and cuddled; listening, smelling, seeing and soaking in everything there was to offer.
Connie felt her eyes growing heavy, so she cuddled in farther to Steven, taking in his faint cologne and natural musk. Her eyes fluttered shut and stayed. 
*
When she woke up she was back in her house, in their bed. There was a note on the mirror that said 'I love with our adventures, but I love you way more’.
Connie's cheeks turned burgundy and she shook her head. "He's so fricking cute, I swear I can't with him."
She laid back down and laughed as her eyes grew heavy again and she drifted off to sleep, wishing he was there again to take her on another adventure.
