(Also, keeping an eye on a kid when they're asleep isn't abnormal behavior for a parent/guardian/older sibling whatsoever. Granted, this isn't something you'd do for hours or all night, but Pearl is an alien who doesn't sleep, doesn't fully grasp the concept of sleep, and is an extremely protective, motherly, and anxious individual. Why is anyone surprised that she used to do this? The fact that she asked Garnet and Amethyst if one of them could watch him for her basically confirms that she did it out of concern for Steven's well-being while he was asleep. She was probably scared that he could stop breathing or something and her fear was completely rational! Lion lied down on his FACE.) But a parent/gaurdian/sibling wouldn't do it for the whole night, which is what she was doing. Also, other nights, when Lion probably wasn't trying to lay on him, she still watched him sleep even though there was no way anything could have sufficated him. Additionally, she admitted that she liked to watch him sleep, making her reason to watch him a non-prtective reason, but instead a self-seeking reason. About the thing if Pearl loved Rose, as you said, she seems to be an "anxious individual", which could  mean that she also cared and sometimes over-protected Rose, even though it seems that Rose took care of her most of time.
