"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, it's a girl!" the nurse said, holding a little bundle in her arms as she gently rocked the crying child. She slowly walked over the bed and held out the baby towards the woman in the hospital bed. She looked absolutely exhausted; her muave locks were disheveled, her eyes were half-lidded but she was none the less joyous over her little miracle joining the world. A tired smile was on the woman's face, and she was gently holding her husband's hand, but let go to hold her daughter.

"Dick, she's beautiful." she murmured, as her husband stood up from his place on the chair beside the bed and leaned over for a glimpse of his little girl. She now had her eyes shut, and was sqirming slightly, trying to get comfortable within her new resting place within her mother's arms. "Look at her..."

"She's gorgeous, like her mother." Dick replied, kissing his wife's forhead. "Thankyou for giving me a child, Raven." he said, smiling at her. Raven moved over slighty, and Dick sat on the bed, one leg crossed over the other as he placed on arm over his wife's shoulders, and used his other hand to stroke the baby's face.

"What are we going to call her?" Raven asked, not taking her eyes off the baby. She had stopped moving around, and small breaths were heard, which meant the baby was now sleeping.

"Hope," he answered simply. "As she is as hopeful as her mother."

"Hope Mary Grayson... I like it." Raven said, satisfied with the name, and grinned at Dick's widened eyes.

"M-Mary? As in after my mum?"

"Yeah," she said smiling softly.

"We came as soon as Dick called us." Roy Harper(*) said as he entered the room with his excited wife. Kori was grinning from ear to ear, and holding a bouquet of orange tulips in her hands. "So, where is the little one?"

Raven nodded over to the crib beside her bed after she gave Kori a hug in greeting. "Congratulations, Raven! I am so happy for you!" she squealed excitedly, bouncing on her toes. "There's a little Titan in our midst!"

"Thanks, Star." Raven replied to her alien friend, smiling up at her. "Dick should be back soon, he just went to grab himself some coffee."

"Can I hold her?" Kori asked, looking over at Hope. Hope had a white and pink striped beanie over her head and her body was wrapped within a few blankets to keep her warm.

"Yes, definitely!"

The scarlet-haired alien smiled, pushing back her long hair as Roy came to stand beside her, and Kori gently picked up the baby and held her in her arms, cradling Hope as she would've done for Silky. "Oh, hello little one!" she cooed, bouncing Hope slightly as Roy looked over her shoulder to get a better look.

"She's a cutie, Rae."

"Yeah, she takes after her dad." Dick laughed, as he walked back with two cups of coffee, handing one to Raven as he sat down on the bed beside her. "It's good to see you guys, how've you been?" he asked, looking over at his two friends. Raven glanced at them as well, taking a sip of her own coffee. She would've preferred tea, but apparently they didn't sell tea here.

"Nothing, really. We're still looking for an apartment." Roy replied, looking down at Hope. Raven knew he wanted a child of his own, you didn't need to have powers like her's to know that. He was practically projecting his own thoughts about having his own boy or girl. Starfire nodded along with him, looking up at her husband before looking at her friends.

"Yes, we were hoping to find a home before Hope was born."

"You guys will find some soon." Dick assured, taking a sip of his own coffee.

"Hey there, dudes!" came a happy-go lucky voice as Garfield(**) and Victor(***) walked into the hospital room. "How are you?"

"Hey, y'all!"

"Shh!" Raven whispered harshly, holding Hope against her chest. The baby's hair has slowly begun to grow lighter, from her father's thick, black locks to her mother's purple tendrils. "She's sleeping. Azar, keep your voices down!" Dick raised an eyebrow at his two teammates.

Garfield laughed nervously, his shoulders raised up guiltily. "Heheh, sorry, Raven."

"Hey, guys." he greeted.

"Just came by to see how the little squirt is doin'." Victor smiled, walking over to Raven. "She doing well?"

"She's been really well. I'm allowed to go home in a few days so Hope will be able to come home as well by next week." Raven smiled softly. Even though she was allowed to show emotion now to a degree due to the defeat of her father, Raven still restrained herself, no matter how much Richard tried to convince her otherwise. "I just can't wait to take her home..."

"Me too, Rae. But we can tell, you're still worried." Dick said with a sigh, as Garfield and Victor nodded in response.

She shrugged, and handed the baby gently over to Garfield who had motioned for the sorceress to hand the baby over to she could talk freely without having to nurse the baby the whole time. "Of course I'm worried. How much of my power is she going to inherit? Will it draw her to the side of evil? Will her powers restrict her as much as they did me?" she asked, glancing at her friends and husband. She sighed, and looked down. "I honestly don't want her to go through what I did."

"But she won't. Raven, you named her Hope for a reason, did you not? So, stop doubting her." Victor said, folding his arms as he held his gaze with his 'little sister'.

Dick nodded in agreement, before pulling her to face him. He pressed his forehead to hers. "She'll be okay, I promise."

"Alright, alright..."

It had been a few weeks since Hope Grayson was allowed to go home from the hospital, and Richard and Raven couldn't have been more excited. They were finally a proper family.

A wail was heard through the walls of the bedroom of the young parents, and Raven woke up with a groan. Swinging her legs over the bed, she tried not to wake up Richard as he had gotten home late from being on patrol as Nightwing with Victor. She wrapped her signiture cloak around herself as she glided mid-air towards her daughter's room. Hope wasn't crying very loudly, but enough for Raven to know she wanted something.

"Hey, little one." she greeted softly, picking up her daughter and cradling her in her arms. "Are you alright?"

Sensing her daughter's discomfort, Raven walked over to the white, pillow-covered rocking chair which was in the corner of the room, and sat down softly. She nursed Hope gently, holding her comfortingly against her chest. As much as Raven thought otherwise, she was a good mother. She had practice as well with Melvin, Timmy and Teether anyway, seeing as those three were practically her own children anyway. They lived with her and her husband, their rooms right down the hall. Melvin had her own room (Bobby stayed in there as well) while Timmy shared with Teether.

Hope whimpered against Raven's shoulder, slowly opening her large, blue eyes to stare up at her mother's face in curiousity. Raven in turn smiled down at her daughter, kissing her forehead gently while Hope let out another gurgling sound. Raven patted her back gently as well.

"Rae," she heard from the door to Hope's room. She looked up, a little startled to see Dick there, revealing him as the one who had whispered her nickname. He was leaning against the entrance, arms folded and one leg crossed over his supporting leg. "Is she okay?"

She didn't know how she had not sensed his presence, and guessed that she had been to focused on Hope. "Yeah, she's fine." she replied.

"Here, let me take her." Dick said, holding out his arms and walking over to his wife, grinning his ever-charming smile. He pulled his daughter up, and held her over his shoulder.

"Dick, you've hardly had any sleep..." she said, protesting lightly against his wishes, but let him take her anyway.

"Neither have you, Raven." he said back. Raven rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, you're still the same after all these years..."

"You know you love it."

A/N: Thankyou for reading this. :) This story is basically going to explain in detail/story form my version of the canon after the Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo movie and Robin's depature from Young Justice (this hasn't actually occured in YJ, so don't worry viewers!). It's going to have characters from both TT and YJ. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.

I hope you enjoyed this one. For those who have already read my Teen Titan's stories, I guess they also fall under this as well, seeing as they're part of the same canon.

Again, thanks to Smiles-X-Giggles for pointing out my mistake. :D

(*) Roy Harper is Speedy/Red Arrow, and the husband of Starfire in this story.

(**) Garfield Logan is Beast Boy/Changeling.

(***) Victor Stone is Cyborg, and the husband of Bumblebee in this story.

(?) Smiles-X-Giggles asked about Melvin, Timmy and Teether, whether Robin and Raven had adopted them, and I guess I haven't thought about that yet. I think they would've, seeing as Raven basically seemed like their mother anyway. They would be (seemingly) older siblings to Hope, so I might have to readjust my canon just a tad. :3

Couples to be involved: Robin x Raven, Cyborg x Bumblebee, Speedy x Starfire, Kid Flash x Artemis (perhaps Jinx just to rial things up), Superboy x Miss Martian and some others, perhaps. These are the main ones. :)
