It's amazing!
The snow just keeps falling and falling!
I'm glad you're staying here with us, Dad.
Yeah, me, too, buddy!
It's way too cold to stay in the van during this blizzard.
Besides, the heater in the van hasn't worked
since I got that sweet mini-disc player installed,
which I do not regret.
I've never seen it snow like this before.
That's not entirely true.
- Really? - You mean back when ...
Oh!
That was about 14 years ago!
There was a snow storm happening just like this around then.
14 years.
Hey, I'm 14 years!
That's right, little man. You were only a few months old.
And it was snowing so hard,
I thought we were going to become Snowman
and Snowman Jr., son of Snowman.
But Vidalia was out of town visiting family,
so she let us crash at her place for a while.
It was the first time you ...
Dad!!
I'm not that far away, Steven.
Don't forget our... arrangement.
Good gravy.
That's what you get for raising me to love music.
Luckily, I have a song for this story already.

Hey, little Schtu-ball.
You're doing a lot of dancing in there.
You want to get out of there and show me your moves?
Hey, now. You unbuttoned all your buttons I buttoned up!
Let's get you buttoned back up.
Ookie-pookie!
There! Huh?
What's...
Does your gem need to breathe?
Hmm.
How about this?
Oh! Um, hey, y'all!
- Hello! - Yo, Greg, check it out!
We brought gifts for Lil' Rose!
Amethyst, we've gone over this.
Steven is a ...
Human baby.
And Steven is...
Not Rose.
Can I get you guys anything?
We've got water, old plates, uh...
How about some tea?
No. We're just here to drop off these gifts.
Right! Sure.
Here you go.
You'll probably have to open that up for him.
It's just a box,
made to look like it's been carefully wrapped.
- Ta-da! - Whoa!
Thanks, Garnet, but I don't think he needs this.
Oh, he'll need it... in the future.
Let's open mine next!
Wow! Diapers! This is so practical!
Wait. Are these adult diapers?!
They're way too big for him.
So tell him to make himself bigger!
You can do that, right, Lil' Greg?
You can call him Steven.
That's the name Rose and I liked the most.
Well, whatever you call him, he'll need this.
Uh, thanks. This some kind of kid's book?
Oh. A dictionary.
Obviously, it's the best gift
for a being that can't yet communicate.
Well, maybe you guys could use it to look up what a baby is.
These gifts are great,
but Steven's just too young for this stuff.
Nowadays, he's really into this.
♪ Carabiner ♪
♪ Carabiner! ♪
Whoa! He loves it!
Hey, Lil' ... Steven!
Hmm. He's certainly captivated with those things.
Well, next time, we'll just bring
a big box of keys for Steven.
Whoa!
- Ooh! - Buh?!
What's happening to him?!
It's Rose!
Is that possible?
Is he gonna turn into a laser?!
Relax, y'all. I got it all figured out.
Rose is trying to shape-shift back to her old self!
- What?! - She can't shape-shift
because she's trapped in a baby!
- Trapped in a baby? - Rose?
Rose, it's me. It's Pearl! Are you in there?
Glow twice for yes!
Baby, please. I'm trying to talk to Rose.
Rose hasn't shape-shifted, and she isn't trapped.
Steven is a fusion.
Rose could be trying to unfuse.
Whatever Steven is, something's happening,
and I ... What can I do to help?!
Well, what do you do with a human baby when it glows?
First off, human babies don't glow.
And letter number "B"...
what if they do?!
Okay, Vidalia has some books on babies I've been reading.
They'll help us figure something out.
Calm down. You got this.
Guys, if this is anything like a fever, then we should ...
Uh, guys?
Guys?!
You kidnapped me?!
Yep!
Some of our actions were a bit regrettable.
At the time, we thought it'd be better
to handle things our way.
Nah. We straight-up 'napped you.
Steven! My van!
Give me back my babies!
He looks mad.
He'll thank us later.
Greg was doing his best up to this point.
But the situation has changed.
Steven is clearly a gem.
Good thing we left without any explanation.
All right, Rose, we saw that glow.
So why are you still a baby?
Is it... really fun or something?
Garnet, hold me!
All right, I get it.
This rules.
But it's been so long ... like months!
That's longer than I was a toilet.
Come on, Rose!
You have to change back!
Baby. Normal.
Baby...
It's so easy!
Why can't she do it?
Because it's not shape-shifting.
It's fusion.
Steven, I understand Greg is part of you,
and you don't want to unfuse in front of him.
That would be very rude.
But he's not here now.
It's just us!
You can take a little break.
Here. I will, too.
I'm here!
You know me! You know them, too!
I don't understand!
Steven!
How am I gonna catch up with them?
Dog.
Sled.
Dog, sled.
Hey! Hey, you kids!
Everyone, calm down.
Look, we can all see her.
She's right there!
She just can't reform because
she has this... baby around her.
Rose, I know you're in there.
I can let you out.
We'll be together again.
I can't.
I can't!
She wanted this so much.
I just don't understand why!
"Everything should grow, and everything should change.
And ... And isn't it so great
how it comes so naturally to humans."
Well, it's not natural for us!
It's not natural...for me.
It will be...
for him.
What about Rose?
This isn't about Rose.
From now on, everything has to be
about Steven.
He-l-l-l-l-p!
Help!
Ugh. Thanks.
Hey, wait a minute!
Why did you take Steven on a joyride
in the middle of a blizzard?
What's the big idea?
There wasn't really a big idea.
Just a bunch of small ideas that never came together.
My apologies, Greg.
We thought we knew what Steven was.
But we didn't.
Honestly, I'm not sure if I do, either.
I never glowed when I was a kid.
We never were kids.
I don't know how we're going to figure this out,
but I think we'll have a better shot
if we do it together.
Wow. You guys were wrong about everything.
Well, that was a ...
A really long time ago, wasn't it?
Cut us some slack, will ya?
We couldn't have known what to do, even me.
Especially me.
No, I mean about changing and growing,
and how it doesn't come naturally to you?
But look at you now!
I know you'll never stop missing Mom,
but I bet she would've loved this.
I do.
- Hear, hear. - Hear, hear.
It wasn't such a big deal
when that teenaged girl kidnapped Steven.
That was his babysitter. She took him to the park.
You really scared her when you threw that jungle gym at her.
