I'm going to become half of you." and not "Steven, I'm choosing not to exist for you. I'm choosing to become half you." It doesn't sound like she had much choice in the matter. Human-Gem 'breeding' wasn't something that was ever done before. Obviously complications are going to arise.

The womb thing doesn't necessarily mean he was born. It only means that he was conceived and carried to a point. For all we know at the height of his baby growth Rose could've just retracted into her gem which then took the place of his umbilical cord and came to rest where it is now. Rose carried Steven to term and gave him her gem. Steven was like anyother fetus esept having an embilical cord to be fed and nutured thrown, he had her gem. So when Steven was ready to be born, she retreated into her gem and is not half of Steven. "Rose carried Steven to term and gave him her gem."

"So when Steven was ready to be born, she retreated into her gem and is not half of Steven."

There's a flaw in those statement. If Steven was born then there would have been no need for Rose to give Steven her gem because it would have been (albeit still strange on the account of the mother not being technically alive) a normal birth. First, Ment to say "is NOW half of Steven." Second,  Steven did not have an embilical cord to be nurtured threw, he had Rose's Gem. It was necessary for her to retreat into hr gem for Steven to be born. You can cut a Gem from its gem and it live like you can an embilical cord
