"Oh! Friend Raven would you like to join us in a game of videos? It is most joyous!" Starfire said happily over the sounds of the game.
Beastboy and Cyborg were in a middle of a game and seemed to enjoy Starfires happy cheering. She looked around the common area, looking for one in particular. Her eyes scanned the whole area, but she couldn't find him. He must have left before she got here; she took slow steps to the kitchen to make her some tea.
"Friend Raven, is something troubling you?" She jumped at her voice, and turned to face her. She was standing near the stove and had a concerned look on her face.
"It's nothing Star, just got some… things on my mind." Her hand came to her stomach under her cloak and she sighed.
"Do you wish to talk about it?" Raven smiled at her but shook her head.
"It's nothing important… just… I can't decide what book to read next." She gave her a fake smile to assure her she was alright.
Starfire nodded and seemed to think it over before she smiled and walked back to the couch. She shook her head and went back to her tea. Her mug was already on the counter so she took the kettle out of the cabinets. She placed it on the stove and poured some water in it, she waited silently for it to be ready. Once it whistled she turned the stove off and poured it into her mug.
"Friend Cyborg is victorious!" she heard Starfire call, and Beastboy complaining.
"Dude! You cheated; you know I deserved to win!"
"Don't get jealous 'cuz you're no match for my skills!" She heard the door open and the familiar sound of his footsteps echoed into the room, there seemed to be a moment of silence before Starfire smiled and broke it.
"Friend Robin, you should join us in a game!" she flew to him and dragged him to the couch by his arm. His masked eyes wandered over to her and seemed to narrow at her, her body tensed and she quickly walked out of the room.
"Raven!" she ignored him and continued to her room. She heard the door open behind her and heard someone trying to catch up to her. She nearly made it to her room until a hand on her shoulder made her stop. "Tell me what's wrong Raven."
"It's none of your concern Robin."
"You've been ignoring me for the past two months Raven." His hand tightened on her shoulder a bit.
"It's nothing."
"I don't have anything to say to you."
"What do you mean?"
"Was it something I did? Or said?"
"Yes and no."
"So I did something to upset you?"
She felt her throat close on her for a moment; her eyes got watery but she didn't let a tear fall. She wasn't going to cry especially in front of him, she felt his hand loosen on her shoulder.
"Can you tell me what I did so I can make it better?" she shook her head.
"You can't make it better."
"And why is that?"
"You can't undo what's been done." She shrugged his hand off and walked the rest of the way to her room.
The door closed silently behind her, she turned and made sure it was locked. She walked to her bed and sat on it, looking around her room she sighed. She placed her head in her hands and let out a frustrated sigh. She looked over to her dresser where her mirror rested on top, she walked over to it and held up to herself and entered her mind.
She landed softly on the ground and looked around; none of her emotions were around. She pulled her hood up and walked down one of the paths in front of her.
"Raven!" Happy called out to her. She turned and faced her, a giant smile covered Happy's face. Happy grabbed her arm and dragged around a corner to where her other emotions were in a huddle whispering among themselves.
"What are you guys doing?" Raven asked curiously. The whispering stopped and all eyes turned to her.
"Just talking and stuff." Bravery replied. She noticed some of her other emotions shift uncomfortably, she narrowed her eyes at them.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Wisdom cleared her throat before speaking, "We think you should tell him." Raven stood there shocked for a moment before she shook her head and turned around.
"I'm not going to tell him."
"I think you really should tell him, he's going to find out you know." Love replied. She turned and narrowed her eyes at Love.
"This is your fault you know." Love stared at her and shook her head.
"It was your decision." Love shot back.
"Your right… it was my fault, I should have been more careful. I think I should go now." Raven turned and walked down the path she came from. Once she reached the spot she had come from, she teleported herself back into her room. She carefully placed her mirror back on her dresser.
She looked at her clock that sat on her nightstand; it read fifteen minutes past ten. Her stomach growled and reminded her she hadn't eaten anything at all except her tea. She was too tired to teleport herself to the kitchen so she decided to walk there.
Raven stood on the roof, with an apple in her hand, staring out into the ocean. She took a bite and took a quick glance up at the twinkling stars above. So many thoughts ran through her head it was getting hard for her to think; she knew she had to tell Robin, but she was scared. She didn't even know if she wanted to go through with it. Her hand went to her flat stomach and she smiled a bit before she shook her head and clutched her cloak to her body. She was to lost in her thought that she didn't hear the rooftop door open.
"Couldn't sleep huh?" Robin's voice echoed into the night.
"Not really, what about you? Why are you still up?"
"I'm not that tired, I was working on a case I guess I lost track of time." He shrugged slightly and stood next to her.
"Hmm that figures."
A comfortable silence crept between and mixed into with the night, she had almost forgotten he was there until he spoke up again.
"Can you tell me what I did; I promise I will try to fix it." She sighed and shook her head. "Please?"
She turned away from him and looked around; she took deep breaths to steady her pounding heart. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist; she sighed and took a deep breath.
"I don't know how to tell you." She said truthfully. He tightened his grip a bit.
"Just try," he coaxed.
She listened as the waves crashed against the shore, and tried to steady her thoughts. The shining moon above them provided enough light for them to see around them.
"Well…"
"You see…"
"Umm…"
"How do you put it…?"
"It's like this…"
"Don't freak out please."
"But…"
"Umm… I…"
"Think… I'm…. umm…"
"Rae, you know you can tell me anything." She nodded and took a deep breath. She could hear the blood pounding in her ears.
"Well…"
"Umm..."
"Rae…"
"Robin, I'm pregnant…"
