Chapter 1 - New Beginnings
Raven and her boyfriend, Garfield had been going out for almost 3 years now. They were both 19 years old, and were in a very happy relationship. Their love for eachother grew stronger everyday and they felt as though nothing could ever destroy it. Things started off slow, but things picked up, as they were both taking things to the next level. On March the 18th, Raven conceived a baby, but she was unsure if she had or not, and she was scared but eager to tell Garfield. She woke up early that morning and went out to a close by pharmacy without being noticed and bought a pregnancy test, headed back to the tower then placed it under her pillow. After all, she diddn't want anyone to know or keep on asking her is she was or not, so she was planning to use the test later on in the day.
"Hey, Cyborg? have you seen Gar around?" Asked Raven as she entered the common room
"I think he went out to get somthing, he left about 10 minutes ago, he should be back soon" Replied Cyborg
"Oh, really? Crap..." She said, while staring at the floor
"Why? Is somthing wrong?" Asked Raven's "Big Brother"
"Oh... Uh... It's nothing, I just really needed to tell him somthing, it's important" She said as she quickly looked up from the floor, alarmed
"Aw, common Rae, you know you can tell me anything, were as close as brother and sister, I won't say a word to Gar or anyone... I promise" He said, putting down his controller and rasing his hand
"You promise?"
"Promise" He said assuringly
"Ok...Well... I think I'm-" She was interupted by the sound of the door swooshing open to reveal Garfield
Raven jumped out of her skin and turned more pale when the doors opened.
"Maybe some other time" She said to Cyborg short and quick
"Hey Rae, I got somthin' for you" Said Garfield cheerfully, holding up a small dark blue plastic bag
"Gar, thats so sweet, thank you" she said with a smile "Oh, and I really need to talk to you about somthing"
Raven walked to her room and Garfield followed behind her, carrying the plastic bag. When they got to her room, Raven instructed him to sit on her bed and she did so as well.
"So, what did you get me?" she said with a smile
Garfield perked up even more and he reached his hand in the platic dark blue bag and pulled out a dark purple box. When he revealed the box, Raven was surprised, and she brightly smiled.
"Just a little somthing to show you that what I said last night was true, I really do love you Rae, I always will" He said with a smile and loving eyes
Garfield opened the box to reveal a small silver locket, it had a purple gem and a green gem on the front of it, side by side, and on the back, it had an "I love you" inscription on it. Raven gasped at its beauty and hugged her boyfriend tightly. When she let go, Garfield opened up the locket and it had a photo of the two on their first date. They both looked so happy in the photo, this was a gift Raven would treasure forever. Garfield took the locket from the box and put it around his Girlfriend's neck.
"Its so beautiful, thank you so much Garfield" She said with a loving smile
"It was nothing" He said blushing "So, what did you need to talk to me about?"
Raven's smile dimmed as sudden nervousness washed over her, her eyes widened with fear.
"Oh, uh...I, I forgot" She said, her voice sounding a little shakey
"heheh, that happens to me to, you'll probably remember later, when you do, I'll be here" He said with a smile and an hand on her shoulder
"Thanks Gar" Replied Raven
"Hey, I kinda promised Cy I give him a rematch at Rally Racers...Do you mind?" He asked
"Not at all, go have fun, I kinda feel a little sick anyways" She said holding her stomach and closing her eye's for a split second
"Aw, really? I don't have to go, I can stay here if you want" He said, worried
"No, it's okay, just...Just go have some fun" She said with a weak smile and tired eyes
"Ok, feel better, if you need anything, just holler at your boy" He said with a hug
As soon as Garfield left, Raven got up and went to her dresser. She sat down on a stool and looked at her reflection and frowned... She looked awful. She began to feel light headed and thought it would be best to have a little sleep, but unlucky for her, as soon as she got up, she felt even more light headed and fell to the floor, un-concious. There was a loud thud, due to her fall, and it was lucky Garfield heard it, if he hadn't, she might have been in trouble, as when she fell, she hit her head hard enough to make it bleed. Garfiled called out Raven's name and then quickly ran back to her room, and opened the door. When he opened the door, all it revealed was an un-concious Raven. Garfield was shocked. He ran to her side as quickly as he could and saw her bleeding head. He picked her up bridal style and ran to the medical room as fast as possible, He kicked the doors open and laid her down gently on the bed.
"I'll be back in a minute Rae" He said as he kissed her forehead before running out the medical bay to the common room to get Cyborg.
As soon as he reached the common room, he called out for his best friend frantically.
"Cy! Cy! Come to the medical bay quick!" He called
"Why? What's wrong?" He asked alarmed
"Just GO!"
The two friends ran to the medical bay as fast as possible, Garfield turned into a green cheetah, while Cyborg ran as fast as possible the old fashioned way. When they reached the doors, they pushed them open to reveal an un-concious Raven with a bleeding head.
"Oh my god! Raven! What the hell happened man!?" He asked, running to his "Little Sister" to hook her up to the machines so that she could be in a stable condition.
"I dunno, I left her room and I was on my way to remach you, then I heard a loud thud from her room and ran back and I just saw her, laying on the floor" He said
"Well, if she dosn't start to heal herself soon, she may be stuck like this for a while, the cut is pretty deep, but it's nothing that I can't fix, but she fell pretty hard" Said Cyborg, his voice full of concern
"Do you know when she'll be awake?" He asked
"that just depends on when she starts to heal herself, I'll do everything I can to make her better Gar, I promise"
"Thanks Cy, you mind if I stayed here while you fix her up?" He asked
"No way man, afterall, she IS your Girlfriend, and I know you really do love her and I know she really loves you, me and Raven are as close as brother and sister, she tells me alot of things"
"Really? Like what?" He asked curiousily
"Well... Just usual stuff that happens in relationships, and other stuff, like personal stuff for example" He said while he was cleaning the blood from her head gently
"I'm hoping all the stuff she says to you is posotive" he said
"Yeah... Actually, the majority of it is, she must really love you"
Garfield smiled to his self, he thought that he would never find anyone who loved him as much as he thought Terra did. When Terra betrayed him, he vowed to not let anyone hurt him like the way she did again, Garfiled really did love Raven, and he knew she would never hurt him the way Terra did.
"Wow... She really does love me" He said to himself quietly
"She was also about to tell me somthing really important, she really needed to speak to you about it, she was just about to tell me when you walked in" He said
"Oh, really? I diddn't know it was that important, hmm... I wonder what it was about?" He asked curisoly before looking over to Raven
When Cyborg finished stiching Raven's cut up, time seemed to fly by. Raven started floating 1 inch above the medical bed she was laying on, this made a wave of releif wash over both Cyborg and Garfield. Cyborg started to run some scans on her to see if there was any perminent damage to her brain and just to be safe, Cyborg ran a few scans on her body, and found out somthing very interesting.
