Chapter 1:Surprise
Raven felt that something was wrong with her, but she didn't know what? She decided it was probable nothing and started to get dressed. She wore white jeans, white spaghetti strapped tank top, white sneakers, and a white Atlanta hat. Rae went into the kitchen to make her herbal tea. As the kettle whistled Nightwing walked into the room. Raven went over and poured her tea into a mug.
"Morning Raven, "said NW.
"Morning," said Rae.
"Nice sleep."
"Yeah, you."
"Yup."
Nightwing fixed a cup of coffee and sat at the table reading a newspaper. Raven joined him at the table. They sat at the table in complete silence. Nightwing was wearing black pants, black sneakers, and a black t. Soon the other titans came town to have breakfast. Cyborg and Beastboy once again were having a tofu vs. meat fight. Raven already left to meet up with some other friends.
Raven was walking in the outskirts of the city. She kept walking until she came to the park. Rae walked to the fountain in the middle of the park. Her friends were already there waiting for her.
"How long have you guys been here?" asked Rae.
"Not long," said Karen (Bumble Bee).
"So what are we doing today?" asked Tiara (Toot).
"We could go to the mall and the zoo," said India (Dream Wolf).
"That's a good idea," said Jennifer (Jinx).
"Then lets go," said Terra.
All 6 of them left the park and went to the mall.
Nightwing was in the training room working out. Everybody was doing his or her own thing. Cyborg was doing upgrades to his car. Changling was at a comic convention. Starfire was at the mall. There wasn't much crime-fighting happening.
At the mall Kori (Starfire) was in "Pink Rainbow Unicorn." Everything in the store was pink. She was in the dressing room trying on dresses.
"I'm sure Nightwing would love seeing me in this," said Kori.
On the other side of the mall Rae, Terra, India, Tiara, and Jen arrived. They walked around for a bit.
"I'm bored already," said Tiara.
"Me too," said Karen.
"You guys want to watch a movie?" asked Jen.
"Sure," everyone said.
"What should we see?" asked India.
"Well we could see X-Men 5, Shrek 3, John Perkins, Baby Bash, Ding Dong, or What I Would Do For Love," said Tiara.
"That's a tough choice," said Jen.
"What's Ding Dong?" asked Terra.
"Who knows? I was just reading them off," said Tiara.
"Lets see X-Men 5," said India.
"Ok," said everyone.
They each got their tickets and got their food and drink. They want into the theater and found their seats. Once they left they went to Macy's.
"That movie was great," said Karen.
"Yeah," said Jen.
"Cyclops is really cute," said Terra.
"He's alright, but Wolverine is cuter," said Rae.
"I agree with Rae," said India.
"So do I," said Jen.
"What is with you guys and liking older guys?" asked Terra.
"Why is it so hard to find anything in here?" asked Terra.
"Because everything in here is so expensive," said Tiara.
"Then why did we come in here?" asked Rae.
"Bored," said India.
"Lets go to the zoo now," said Karen.
They left the mall and walked to the zoo. As soon as they arrived at the zoo they went to the monkey cage.
"Look at the little monkey," said Tiara. (Just like Beastboy but way cuter)
"He's so cute," said Terra.
They walked around the zoo for 1 hour then left.
"What should we do now?" asked Karen.
"What else is there to do?" asked India.
"We could go to the doctor," said Jen.
"What!" everyone said.
"When was the last time we went to the doctors office for a check up? Asked Jen.
"Not like we have anything better to do," said Tiara.
So they went to go to the doctor's office. They were now waiting in the waiting room. Everyone was already done with their check ups except for Raven.
"Raven Roth," said the nurse.
Raven got up and followed the nurse. She was now waiting for the doctor. The doctor finally came after about 10 minutes.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Singer. What seems to be the problem?" asked Dr. Singer.
"Well I've been feeling a little queasy in the morning lately," said Rae.
"Really. I think I have a feeling what the problem is, but I'll take a test just to make sure."
After the doctor took the test Raven was free to go.
"So how was it?" asked Terra once they left the hospital.
"Fine. I just had to take a test and return back next week," said Rae.
"Oh," said Terra.
They had dinner and then went separate ways. Raven returned at the tower at 10:00. She went into the kitchen to make some herbal tea.
"Just getting in."
Raven jumped and turned around to see Nightwing leaning against the doorframe.
"Don't scare me like that," said Raven holding her hand to her chest trying to calm her heart rate.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you," said NW.
Raven rolled her eyes and began to drink her herbal tea. Nightwing walked into the kitchen and sat on a stool. Raven joined him.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Excuse me?" Raven asked a little confused.
"Are you just getting in?"
"Yes."
"Did you have fun?"
"We really didn't do anything, but go to the mall, zoo and the doctors office."
"Oh. Why did you go to the doctors?"
"Out of boredom."
Raven finished her herbal tea and put her cup in the sink.
"So what did you do all day?"
"Nothing much just train."
"Is that all do on your time off."
"Not all the time. Sometimes I visit Titans East."
It was now midnight and everyone was in bed.
1 week later.
It was a normal day in Titans Tower. Everyone decided to stay in today. Nightwing, Cyborg, and Changling were playing video games. Starfire was cooking 1 of her Tameranian dishes. Raven was in her room reading 1 of her books. Suddenly the phone rang and Raven picked it up.
"Hello."
"Hello, may I speak to Raven?"
"This is she."
"Oh, Raven this is Dr. Singer. I have the test results back when can you come by the hospital."
"Now would be fine."
"Good."
Raven left the tower and went to the hospital. She checked in with the front desk and now waiting for the doctor.
"Raven it's so nice to see you again."
"Is there something wrong?"
"No. There's nothing wrong. What I have to tell you is good news."
"Then what is it?"
"Well, congratulations you're going to have a baby."
"What?"
"Yes, its what the test said."
"Ok, thank you."
"Your check up will be on June 15."
"Ok."
As Raven left the hospital she couldn't believe what had just happened. She needed to tell someone. She kept walking down the street until she came to a building. She went inside to talk to her friends.
"Hey, Rae," said Tiara.
"Hey."
"Something wrong?" asked Karen.
"Yes, I went to the doctors today for my test results."
"So what did they say?" asked Terra.
"I'm pregnant."
Everyone just looked at her in silence.
"What?" asked Terra breaking the silence?
"I'm also shocked."
"Whose the father?" asked Jinx.
"I don't know. I don't even remember doing it."
"Were you drinking?" asked Tiara.
"No."
"I don't get it. How can you not know if you weren't drinking?" asked Tiara.
"I don't now."
"Well think back on the last thing you remember?" asked Karen.
"Well we did go to that planet."
"What was it called Blue Tooth?" asked India.
"Yeah."
"Ok, so what do you remember from that planet?" asked Jinx.
"Well, first they gave us rooms, went over plans to Yellow Tooth, got captured, and then left."
"Really. I put a camera on your clothes. I'll check it out," said Tiara.
"Ok."
"I'll be right back."
"Ok," said everyone.
Tiara walked down the hall until she arrived at the security room. She pulled out the tape from Blue Tooth Planet and played the tape. She looked through it 2 times and still didn't find anything. There wasn't any clue as to why Raven is pregnant.
Tiara went back to the group.
"I couldn't find anything."
"Then how am I pregnant?"
"Well, I could get a blood sample of the men to know who the father is."
"That could wok," said Jen.
"So, what now?" asked Terra.
"We could watch a movie," offered Karen.
"Ok."
They watched I' Robot. Raven left after the movie was over to get the blood samples. She came back after about 30 minutes with the blood samples.
"I'll run a test on them now."
First she tested Cyborg's DNA. It came out negative. Then she tested Changling's DNA. It came out negative. Last she tested Nightwing's DNA. It came out positive. It took her 3 hours to finish testing the blood.
Everyone had left to go home already. Tiara went through the test 2 times to double check. It was now midnight when she finished.
The next day Tiara went to Titans Tower to give Raven the test results. She rang the doorbell and Cyborg answered it.
"Hey little lady."
"Hey. Is Raven up?"
"Yeah, she's on the roof."
"Thanks."
Tiara walked to the elevator that led up to the roof. When she got there Raven was meditating near the edge.
"Hey, Rae."
Raven opened her eyes from her trance to greet her.
"Hey."
"I got the test results," said Tiara holding up the envelope.
"You do?"
"Yeah, it's right here."
Tiara handed her the envelope. Raven took it and started to open it up. As she took out the sheet of paper she couldn't believe what she saw. It read:
Medical Information-For Raven Roth
Who's the Father?
Cyborg-negative
Changling-negativeNightwing-positive
"I can't believe this."
"The test don't lie Rae. I did it 3 times and it was the same thing."
"Why did you put a heart?"
"To make it look pretty."
Raven rolled her eyes at that. She put the paper back into the envelope. They walked back into the tower.
"Well I got to go now."
"Ok, bye."
Raven went into her room and put the envelope under her pillow. She then went into the kitchen to make some tea. As she entered the kitchen Nightwing was there drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. He didn't seem to notice her come in. Raven grabbed the kettle, poured water in it, and set it on the stove. She got a cup from the cupboard and a tea bag. She then took a seat right across from Nightwing.
"Article very interesting?" asked Rae.
Richard jumped at the sound of her voice.
"Yes it is," said a dumb-founded Richard.
Raven couldn't help but laugh at him.
"When did you come in?"
"A few minutes ago."
He continued to read the newspaper. Raven got up to get her tea. She sat back down and read her book. They complete silence until everyone else got there. Cyborg came down and made breakfast. Soon Starfire and Changling came in.
"Who's hungry?" asked Cy.
Everyone got a plate of what they wanted. Cy handed Raven her plate.
"Here you go Rae."
"I'm not hungry."
"You sure."
"Yeah."
After they ate breakfast they went to do their own things.
1 week later
Raven still didn't tell her teammates that she was pregnant. She was beginning to have morning sickness. After she was done throwing up in her bathroom she brushed her teeth. Then she left to meet up with her other friends at "Irreplaceable."
"You still haven't told them?" asked Karen.
"No."
"Well, you can't keep this from them," said Terra.
"I know."
"There are going to get worried," said India.
""I'll tell them tomorrow. I promise."
"Are you guys hungry?" asked Jen.
"I'm not."
"Morning sickness," said Terra.
Raven nodded her head. They ordered lunch except Raven who just had a glass of water and some crackers.
It was now dinnertime. Victor made steak, hamburgers, mashed potatoes, and string beans. Everyone had their plate.
"Here you go Rae," said Vic.
"I'm not hungry."
"Rae you haven't eaten anything but crackers for 3 weeks," said Vic getting worried about her health.
"I just don't feel well right now."
It was now 10:00 pm and everyone was asleep. Raven was walking through the halls going to her room. When she came to her door she heard footsteps behind her.
"Can we talk?" asked NW when he came near her.
"Ok."
They went inside Raven's room to talk.
'Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"Well, you haven't been eating a lot."
"I haven't been feeling well."
"There's something more isn't there."
"Yes there is."
"Then what is it?"
"I'm pregnant."
"What!" said a very surprised Richard.
"I went to the doctor and she said I was pregnant."
"Wow. Who's the father?"
Raven went to her bed and took out the envelope from under her pillow. She then handed him the envelope. Richard took the envelope and opened it. What he saw shocked him.
Medical Information-For Raven Roth
Who's the father?
Cyborg-negative
Changling-negative
Nightwing-positive
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"How?" asked Richard once he found his voice.
"When we were on Blue Tooth Planet."
"I don't remember that," said Richard even more confused.
"They must have cast a spell or something."
"Oh," Richard said finally understanding.
There was a long awkward silence. They didn't know what else to say or do. Finally having enough of the silence Richard broke it.
"So when do we tell the others?"
"We'll tell them tomorrow."
Richard nodded his head then turned to leave. Before he left he turned around.
"Who else knows?"
"Terra, Jen, Karen, India, and Tiara."
He nodded his head again then left for his room. The next morning Raven was on the roof trying to figure out how to tell the others. She then felt a presence behind her. She recognized that it was Nightwing's aura. He walked up to her and stood beside her watching the sunset.
"So when should we tell them?"
"After breakfast."
He nodded still looking at the sunset. It was still early and the others were still asleep. They just stood in complete silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence like the night before.
"Lets go inside. I'll make some tea."
"Ok."
They made their way inside and toward the kitchen. He grabbed the kettle, poured water in it, and set it on the stove to boil. Raven sat at 1 of the stools at the counter watching him. He then took a seat across from her.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?" asked Richard confused.
"For not telling you sooner."
"There's nothing to be sorry about," said NW with a sincere smile.
The teakettle began to whistle. Nightwing got up and poured the tea into a cp and handed it to Raven. It wasn't long until the others came in. Cyborg cooked breakfast while the others sat at the table waiting. He cooked bacon, waffles, pancakes, sausage, and grits. Raven and Nightwing sat beside each other, Starfire and Changling sat across from them, and Cyborg sat at the end of the table. Everyone was eating his or her breakfast. Changling had tofu everything. Star had waffles, bacon, and sausage. Cyborg had everything. Nightwing had pancakes, sausage, and grits. Raven had a bowl of grits and crackers.
After they finished eating Cyborg and Changling went to play video games. Star was cheering them on. Nightwing and Raven were in the kitchen talking.
"We should tell them now."
"Their busy," said a nervous Rae.
"You can't keep it from them."
"I know."
"Then tell them. I'll be right behind you."
They walked out of the kitchen and towards their teammates. Nightwing cleared his throat to get their attention. Cyborg put the game on pause and turned to his leader.
"Is there something you want to tell us?" asked Cy.
"Yes, we do," said Nightwing who looked down at Raven.
The other 3 looked at them expectantly.
"I'm pregnant," said Rae.
The others were shocked by this news.
"Who's the father?" asked Changling after he recovered.
"I am," said Nightwing.

Ok, so that's the end of this chapter. I'll work on typing up the next one. Maybe. I guess. I don't know. I need the inspiration.
