Changes were something she never ever liked. Of course, changes had to come to move forward in life. And once you put your mind of it, it all falls in place, but if you don't prepare, and let it come crashing like a wave, it's when things go for the worse. Way worse. Like rocks with waves crashing and pressing until one is left pulverized and drowning. The fear that comes in those moments it's cold and sweaty, the one of unknown, and regretting everything in life.

Waaah, waaaaah!

The baby! He's here!

Waaah!

Rae?

Okay, she wasn't regretting this, she had kind of prepared for this, but it sure was a great half and half. It was a new change. The empath looked towards the sounds, cold sweat and feeling about to faint, and suddenly a bundle was placed into her arms. She looked up towards her lover and to the teammates, then seeing the nurses gush about how beautiful the child is and how it came normal ('Of course they would mention that. It was the only thing people first notice of course.'). She looked inside the wraps in the blankets and saw the small rays of blond hair and closed lids, now whimpering instead of crying. The baby was born crying, but upon reaching her arms, it had just calmed down. The pain had worn off, and instead it was a new found fear. The fear of being a… Mother.

A fucking mother.

Garfield stood besides her, looking at their newborn son. He was elated to the presence of the small Logan offspring especially in his soon to be wife. It must've appear like a dream to him. 'Heh, Gar the dreamer' she thought slightly jokingly at her own joke. The newly parent took a sight towards the child and felt a creeping dread in her spine, but also the emotions of confused and… love. It was a lot to take into, the empath hated hospitals mostly by just the patient's emotions and here she was, soaking and basking in her family and friends' feelings. She was slowly close to falling asleep, after the adrenaline and fear just kicked out and was replaced with tiredness and numbness.

"We better take the baby boy and leave the mother rest." Said a nurse taking the child into her arms and cooing. The baby was showing discomfort, and so Garfield took him instead. "Have you guys decided on a name?"

Garfield look at Raven, and smiled. She was mostly out of it, and so he decided on the name. It was something they had already discussed. "Crow. Crow Logan." He smiled.

'Crow? Who name's their son Crow?'

'Someone with a wife named Raven?' he smiled

'That is the most stupidest thing ever and we're not married yet!'

He walked towards the incubator close to the bed and placed the newborn there, and looked slightly worriedly at his almost wife, to later face his friends, having forgotten they were there. He walked fast towards the large group, that all wanted to see the baby. They were outside the room looking through the window, and still had yet to see the kid. 'Oh, that reminds me!' He took a picture of the new addition of the family with his phone and walked fast towards the door again and went out, but not before turning off the lights and closing the shades, to give Raven her much needed sleep.

"Oh joy! I can't wait until Mar'i sees her and they play and all!" Kori claimed as she almost flew with her happiness. Like, literally.

"Kori.." Dick muttered low with a hand on her shoulders. "But yeah. Mar'i even if a baby, when she grows, she'll be able to play too."

"And with Victoria so close to her first birthday, she'll have two friends to play soon! Booyah!" Victor smiled, throwing a small fist into the air, silver ring glowing. "Send me the picture so I can send it to Karen!"

"Sure!" Changeling said as he sent the picture to their group chat in the whatzup app. They all took their phoned and 'awwed' at the photo of baby Crow Logan with blonde hair.

"Damn, we sure are all growing and settling in with this retirement…" Victor said after the moment of silence they all shared.

"Yeah…" Gar muttered and looked to the window, to his own family.

And he was sure he was very much pleased with retirement. One by one they all left, leaving the green shapeshifter to go back to the room and take a seat besides his lover. She woke up slightly to take his hand and scoot closer, wincing at the pain of childbirth. The man moved closer to her, softly telling her to be more careful. She smiled a bit.

"Happy now?"

"I've always been happy, as long as we're together, Rae."

"Yeah, but now you have this glow now…"

"Rae…" he kissed her forehead, "As long as we're together and happy, there will always be the glow…"

"..." she just closed her eyes and went to sleep, too exhausted to continue.

Gar stayed looking at her for a while, but he then took the incubator and placed it close to him, to take the baby into his arms and smother the boy with his joy. He desperately wanted to be a father. Granted, he thought they were going to have a girl, but after the 4th month had come and news of the boy came, he was just equally happy. As long as his child was healthy and amazing and… normal. That was what worried him the most. If the kid came green or well, greyish pale (tho that was easier to hide), or their natural hair colors. It was something not common at all. Not normal for people. For now, little Crow was just.. Perfect to his eyes.

Yeah, he wanted the normal life for his family. But… now looking at his wife… will it be possible?

Exactly 1k of words. is it alright for a prologue?

Guess in saying to wait a month for the new story has been basically wait a day. I read yesterday about four bbrae fanfics and that was all it took to take me out of the rogue one fandom. slightly.

I hope you guys like this start. I have half of the story planned out already. Soon to be finished in my google drive docs. Maybe I'll start next chapter but for that you'll have to wait maybe exactly a week given this will be hell week for me.
