"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Greyson, it's a beautiful baby girl." The doctor held up the precious infant and placed it gently in Starfire's careful arms.
"She is perfect" Starfire just barely whispered.
"She's better than perfect" said Robin as he kissed the heads of his tiny newborn baby and his exhausted wife. A scribing nurse asked "What can we call this little thing?"
"Her name is Samantha Rose Greyson" smiled Starfire.
The nurse took down the name and left the room. A serine silence over took the new family of three. Starfire stared at Robin and back down to her priceless treasure. The beautiful little girl with black hair slept soundly cuddled up into Starfire's chest. Her tan skin matched that of her mothers but there was no doubt that she was any others daughter but Robin's. Her crystal blue eyes were memorizing, yet perfectly matched the orbs that donned Richard Greyson's Face. She truly was an angel. Robin took her from Star's arms and held her close to him. Her tiny body shifted every so slightly as the always graceful Robin sat in the chair next to the bed.
"I will always love you my little Samantha Rose." Robin cooed in her ear as he nuzzled her cheek with his nose. It was a perfect picture, A truly happy ending to a heroic life style. Unfortunately for Robin and Starfire there happy ending was yet to come.
Robin placed Samantha in a basinet across the room and walked back to Starfire's side. he place a soft caressing kiss on her forehead and went to take his seat next to her as the window on the far side of the room shattered. Glass spilled across the floor and smoke filled the room. Robin dashed to Samantha's Bed and pulled the infant out as she cried from the sudden awakening. He ran across the room yet again and handed the baby to Starfire as he prepared himself for what ever broke through the window. As the dust cleared Robin could make out the image of a person standing in the window pane. A girl to be exact, but not just any girl, Terra stood in front of the new family. Adorn in an orange and black suit with an S in the upper corner.
"What do you want Terra" yelled Robin furiously as he pulled out his bo-staff.
"Slade says that if he can't have you he'll take the next best thing, your child. He says that if you can't be taught to obey then maybe she can." Terra leaped from the window towards Samantha only to be intercepted by a bo-staff to the stomach. She flew back onto the floor but was on her feet in minutes.
"Starfire, Get Her Out Of Here!" Star didn't need any further instruction. She flew out of the bed and headed for the window, but terra was too quick. She swiftly closed the gap between them and reached for the baby. But Starfire was having none of that. In quick instant her eyes lit fiery green and blasted Terra into the wall. Terra crawled out of the rubble only to be met with a quick upper cut to the jaw delivered by Robin. Starfire quickly grabbed Robin's hand and flew both him and Samantha out of the hospital room before Terra even had a chance to stand again.
Star flew all the way back to Titan Tower . She placed Robin on the ground and crumpled to her knees around Samantha. She rocked back and forth holding the infant close refusing to let go.
"Starfire it's ok. We're safe." encouraged Robin trying to get her to relax.
"No it is not safe. It will never be safe for her. Robin people will always be after us. We are Robin and Starfire of the Teen Titans. No one will ever see us as Richard and Kori. She can never be safe as our daughter."
Robin knelt down next to her and ran his hand threw Samantha's Short soft hair, and then kissed Starfire on the cheek. The both knew what they had to do; keeping Samantha meant that she would never really be safe. She would always be hunted by the villains of her parents. She could never be normal. That was not the life that they had envisioned for her. They wanted her to be happy, and if being happy meant that they would have to be out of her life then they were willing to except that. They loved her and would do anything for her. This was the sacrifice they chose to make.
The next evening Starfire prepared a bassinet lined with the softest blankets and pillows. She fed Samantha and placed her in the basket. She fit snuggly and fell asleep almost instantly. Robin rounded the corner and wiped the tear from his eye. He didn't want to make this harder for Starfire than it already was. He walked up to the basket and kissed his precious daughters forehead. He then pulled something out of his pocket. It was a tiny gold chain with a small circular pendant on it that read Samantha Rose. On the other side was an engraved rose. Robin clasped it around her neck and pulled Starfire into his arms. This was the last time they were going to be together as a family for a long, long time.
"Starfire you don't have to do this." pleaded Raven "We can take care of her. We can protect her."
Starfire gave her a hug. "Thank you friend Raven but i do not wish for my daughter to grow up and not know what it is like to do the 'Going out' and 'Hanging out with friend' with out the worry that she will be killed. This is better for all parties. Robin and I have already selected the family we will be giving her to. They are a lovely little couple who cannot have children. Oh imagine the looks on their faces when this little angel shows up." Star had to wipe away a tear and take a breath as to not cry and let her guard down. "They are Richard and Jayne Stuart. How funny! At least one of her parents names will be correct."
"Robin really, we can handle it here. If your guys want to live your life somewhere in secrecy then man thats fine. Don't do this Dude" Cyborg argued.
"Thank you. It means alot, but me and Starfire have already decided that's not what we want for her. She will never be afriad to show her face in public because of who she is."
"Thank you friends we appreciate all of your kind words but we must go. We will return shortly." And with that Starfire, Robin and Samantha all left. They flew for miles and miles till they finally approached Gotham City. They went past all the big buildings and started to come out to a farm like area. They came up to the house and slowed. This was it. The day their baby girl's life would really begin with her new parents Rick and Jayne. Slowly they walked up the cobblestone pathway and approached the door. Robin gave Samantha a kiss on the head and Starfire followed shortly thereafter. They placed the basket on the Porch hit the Doorbell and flew up in the air. The door was answered almost immediatly by a shorter woman with softer carmel brown hair. She looked down and picked up the basket.
"Whats this?" Asked the stoutly woman. "Rick! Come quick! There's a baby on the doorstep! Rick!"
"Im coming woman! Oh my God your right. Oh and is she beautiful. Look at those baby blue eye."
And with that Rick and Jayne Brought little samantha into there home and out of Robin and Starfire's lives and as they watched from afar they knew they had done what was right. Samantha would never have to worry about evil villians coming after her and crazed lunatics wanting her to reek vengance on her parents. But she also would never know who she really was, That is untill they day she discovered she was not like all the other boys and girls in her Gratuating class from Gotham High School. Not even in the least bit.
