Raven and the Lone Daughter

Chapter #1 : What Is It?

Raven walked up the island on cold halloween night and stopped before entering any light from the windows. She sighed and looked at the object in her arms. she smiled and took a deep breath.

The rest of the team had thought Raven was gone for good becuase she disappeared about 3 1/2 months ago leaving a note not to search for her behind.

Raven entered the tower slowly not sure if she should even be back here. She entered the elevator. She was happy to be home and anxious to tell the others why she'd left and what she was holding, but at the same time she was scared of what they'd think of her. Would they still want to be her friends? Would BeastBoy still stay her boyfriend if he hadn't moved on already? Would BeastBoy even understand why she'd left? She decided to let these questions answer themselves as she told the others her secret.

Lately, the titans didn't hear when the elevator and the doors moved and opened. So they didn't hear Raven coming. They all were still upset about her leaving and since she left, crime seemed to stand still. BeastBoy was the worst. He missed his girlfriend so that he hardly ever left his bed let alone his bedroom. Starfire was lonely with felmale questions and Raven's dry humor. Cyborg wanted his best friend back, his friend who totally understood him. Robin just missed his teammate and friend. And while she was gone, a new girl came who was just, hard to understand so she reminded them of Raven sometimes. Her name was Phioenix, and she was Starfire's little sister but nothing like Starfire except for powers plus magic. She wasn't to replace Raven, she just needed a place to live when enchanters were bannished from Tammeran.

Raven walked into the hall to see BeastBoy who looked hungery, very hungery. She smiled overwelmed to see him, but hid that feeling and said claimly, "Hello BeastBoy, I have a supprise for you, but you can't see it until we're infront the entire team. You want to walk with me?"

Beastboy was jumping at the idea. He walked next to her but he was so happy she was back he was having trouble not sqwilling. But he mannaged..........................somehow.

When they entered the mainroom all,including Phioenix, the others were there. Gasps and sqwills were heard and Raven smiled.

Robin was the first to snap out of the linggering trance and said, "welcome back Raven. We all missed you alot."

She smiled and said, "Glad to be back. So, who's she?" and she pointed to Phioenix with the sound slight fear in her voice.

Starfire said happily, "This is my little sister, Phioenix, she is a lot like you Raven. She does magic. She is staying here until my planet allows enchaters to return." She was happy to see Raven and so she went to give her one of her death hugs but Phioenix was shacking Raven's hand at the moment.

When Phioenix moved, starfire ran over to hug Raven but she held up the object in her hands and shouted, "No starfire! Don't!She's fargile!"

Everyone's mouths dropped. They all thought, she? Who's she? What's she? BeastBoy was the first to come back to and said to Raven smiling, "A baby? Was that the supprise?" When she nodded he continued, "That's great Rae! I'm I dad! .................It is mine, right Rae? I am the father, right?"

Raven frowned, "No Cyborg is, of course she's yours! But she's mine too. Always remember that Beastboy."

He nodded and jumped up and down around the room. The others all took turns congradgulating her and catching up on the 3 mouths they missed together. Phioenix had sort of frowned when Raven joked about Cyborg that time but shrugged it off.

Raven decribed why it was shorter then human pregancncies and why demons were so short. she also explained why she'd left.

When she finished, Robin said, "Raven, we'd still like you if you had a kid at 14. We're your friends, we care about who you are not why you are." Everyone agreed.

Raven smiled and said, "Thanks."

Phioenix said,"Plus you're 16, it's not like you actually are 14."

Everyone else said, "Phioenix!"

She looked around, "What? OH sorry." She had an expression of embrassment.

Raven ignored her comment and they all sat around and continued to catch up on the time pasted. At about 11 P.M. all the others except Phioenix, Raven, and BeastBoy went to bed. BeastBoy was asleep and droling on Raven's shoulder.

Raven used her powers and moved him to his room and then cleaned her shoulder well. She sighed and leaned back on the couch.

She pactically jumped through the roof when Phioenix said out of nowhere ruining the silence, "Is he gone?"

Raven thought she'd ask," Who? BeastBoy? Yes. Why?" Raven was very curious to why she asked that.

Phioenix nodded and sat next to Raven on the couch. She looked upset and very scared.

Raven was slightly worried of this new friend. She asked," What's wrong?"

Phioenix replied with a lie, "Nothing, nothing, I'm fine really."

When Raven gave her a look. She sighed and said, "I'm not fine. I'm horrorible. I'm in it deep. I need your help because I feel only you can help me with this."

There was silence then she continued, " I'm pregant. And I'm only 15. Like you, it's a short phase. Should be born in 2 months. I'm scared Raven. I don't want this yet. I'm just a kid. Please help me?"

Raven looked at her with concern and sensarity. "No I'll just walk away, of course I'll help you.I know how you feel but all I can do is support you, you have to walk it on your own. understand?"

When Phioenix nodded and Raven continued, "How long have you known? Better question, how long is a Tammeranian pregant?"

Phionix took a deep breath and replied, "I've known for 2 months and a Tammeranian is only pregant for 4 months in earth time."

Raven nodded. Suddenly, Phioenix huged her gently, and said,"Thank you Raven"

Raven just sat there and said, "Your welcome?" She wanted phioenix to let go but she senced phionix felt so relived to finally get it out she said nothing.

Phioenix let go and Raven said, "Wait, you've been here for almost 3 months, who's the father?"

Phioenix smiled and confessed, "Cyborg."

Raven went wide eyed and thought, 'Wonder how that worked?'

Phioenix's smile faded as she asked, "What? Is there something wrong with that? Please tell me why you're staring off into space like that?"

Raven slightly shook her head and snapped back to reallity saying, "How is that possible?"

Phioenix smiled a strange smile and said, "Want me to tell you?"

Even though Raven was......well Raven, she was still a teenager. Raven smiled and said, "No I want to keep on guessing like a fool."

Phioenix told Raven exactly how it worked with Cyborg and then both girls looked at Raven's daughter. Phioenix smiled and asked, "Is it worth it? The baby I mean? Was she worth it Raven?"

Raven picked up her quiet baby, looked into her eyes, and with a smile she answered, "It was diffinently worth it, Kallee will always be my everything now and she will always be worth it."

Phioenix smiled and both girls headed for their own bedrooms for the night, for it was now 12:15 A.M.
