I decided against waiting until next week to upload because this app doesn't always let me upload and I want this out. You're getting more insight in the Titans, their pasts and how they view each other, especially Bumble Bee.

Let me know what you think! Review and enjoy!

Terra opened the door with a smile. "Garth!"

Aqualad hugged her and picked her up. "Hey, babe!"

"I missed you so much and everything is so awful here!" Terra accidentally starting weeping.

"Hey, hey, hey? What's going on, angelfish?" He set her down and tried to peer into her face.

She wiped her eyes. "Come up to my room."

"I know this year sucks but happy Valentine's Day." Changeling set a box of dark chocolate on the bed.

Raven moved to pick the box up. "Thank you. This is for you."

Changeling took the large box. "Thanks. What is it?"

"Open it." She opened her own box and took out a piece of chocolate. She handed it to Sebastian, who was on her lap.

The baby took it and removed the rope from his mouth to eat it.

His family (including a quiet Charlotte) leaned forward to see how he'd take his first chocolate.

He licked it first then stuffed the whole thing in.

"Sebastian, no!" Raven tried to pry his jaw open but he wouldn't let her in.

"He's okay, Rae." Changeling poked the baby's cheek and he grinned, showing off chocolate covered fangs. "That's my boy."

Raven didn't like that and resolved to break the next one in half before giving one to Charlotte. "Bite into it."

Charlotte took a small bite.

"Here. I got you this." Changeling handed the little girl a box.

She tore into it and smiled. "It's candy!"

"It's cake." He corrected.

Charlotte's eyes widened. Her favorite sweet was cake. "Yay!"

Sebastian laughed.

"Why are they so little?"

"It's called a "petit four"." Changeling told her. "It's a little French cake."

Charlotte gave everyone one before taking one for herself and taking a bite. "Yummy!"

"You like it?!" He tickled her.

She giggled. "Yes!"

The bed starting lifting in dual colored energy.

Raven ran a hand over Sebastian's Mohawk and used her powers to set the bed down. "Thank you, Gar."

"You're welcome but that's not it." The green man handed over a small jewelry box and a giant fake house box.

Raven opened the jewelry box to reveal diamond earrings. She gasped. They were small but beautiful. "Thank you!"

Charlotte ripped apart her box and found a stuffed animal. A panther (her second favorite animal). She shrieked loudly before hugging it hard.

"They had to make it special." Changeling smiled.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Charlotte threw herself on him.

"You're welcome, Princess. You're welcome, too my queen." He kissed both. "And I have these for you."

Raven smelled the single fresh lily while Charlotte hugged her sunflower. "Thank you!"

He smiled before picking at the wrapping on his gift. He gasped when he got a peek. "Are these the Mega Monkey edition Beats by Dre.?!"

Raven nodded. "I notice you drooling over them every time you see them advertised."

"Thanks, baby." He kissed her head.

"Daddy, Bas and I drawed you this." Charlotte gave him a small booklet of construction paper coupons.

"Really?!" Changeling flipped through them.

The letters were painstakingly written (in impressive cursive for a four year old) with drawings on each page to depict the action of the coupon. Some were just scribbles because she and Sebastian had made it together.

"Yeah. It's fifteen." Charlotte pointed to the booklet.

Changeling smiled when he got to a particular page. "Mommy and Daddy alone time? What do you know about our alone time?"

"Sometimes you want to hug and kiss without us and you should." She nodded sagely.

Changeling's cheeks turned a light brown. "Oh my goodness."

SC

"Are you still mad at me?" Nightwing sat on the bed.

"Why do you not want to fix our family?" Starfire turned her face.

He rubbed her back in soothing circles. "It's not that. I don't want to take sides. This will blow over soon and we'll look like jerks for choosing one over the other."

She pouted for a moment before sitting up, adjusting her middle after laying on it for so long. "I do not wish to look like the jerk. I do not want my friends in pain."

"Neither do I."

She turned and sat at the head of the bed with him. "Come, bumgorf Christopher."

Christopher crawled to his mother and sat on her legs. "What's going on? Did we do something bad?"

"No!" She hugged him tightly.

Nightwing separated them and set Christopher on his lap. "No. Uncle Vic thinks Aunt Karen did something mean but she says she didn't. We're just trying to get to the bottom of it."

"Aunt Karen isn't mean. Uncle Vic has to know that." Christopher looked up at him with wide eyes.

"I'm sure he knows it deep down but he's hurt right now."

"And it'll blow over?"

"Yes, it'll blow over. I'm sure of it. Now don't you want to give Mommy her Valentine's Day present?"

SC

"Babe, you have to calm down." Kid Flash split his time between looking at Jinx pace and watching his six week old daughter frown at the tension in the air. "Tal knows something's up."

"She should know what kind of backstabber her aunt is." Jinx spun around.

"You don't even know if it's true."

"Fact, Tin Man can't have kids. Fact, she's pregnant. Fact, she won't talk about it." She held up three fingers.

"Why are you so whipped up?"

"Because! She's always Ms. Know-It-All and she'd do something like this?! She's supposed to be perfect!"

"No one's perfect, babe."

"Well she's supposed to be! We take her advice on everything! I mean I started wanting kids because she knows so much about them and convinced me I'd be able to keep them alive!"

"She's still that same person."

"No, she's not. That same person wouldn't have messed up so bad. And she won't even deny it."

Kid Flash stayed quiet for a moment. "Don't you want your presents?"

"Kid,-" She sighed.

"I know it's a weird day but it's still Valentine's Day. Here."

She came to the bed and took the box from him. She opened it and smiled at the necklace nestled inside. It was a heart with two charms, one garnet for Talah and the other sapphire for the new baby (the due date was in September). "Thank you, Wally!"

He smiled at getting her to smile, the only thing he'd ever wanted to do for her since meeting her. "You're welcome, babe."

"I got something for you, too."

He grinned. "Gimme!"

SC

Bumble Bee was apprehensive about answering the door. "Hey?"

"Hey." Changeling grinned awkwardly.

"What is that?" She looked down at the large package on the floor pointedly.

"It's for you. It was hard to get last minute but I thought you deserved a good Valentine's Day, too."

"You got me something for Valentine's Day?" Tears leapt into her eyes.

"Yeah. Rae and I were talking it over and I thought it'd be nice and she thought it was a great idea so we brainstormed and this is what we got."

Bumble Bee swallowed with difficulty. "Thank you."

"Want me to bring it inside? You shouldn't be carrying heavy things in your condition."

"Again, I'm pregnant; not deathly ill."

He chuckled as he picked up the yellow package. "Where do you want it?"

"On the desk." She backed away.

"Present!" Calvin looked over from sitting on the bed beside his brother.

Marco made popping sounds with his mouth.

"Go on." Changeling gestured to the box. "Open it."

Bumble Bee tugged on the black ribbon and peeled away the yellow wrapping paper. The box had Japanese writing on it. "It's sweets?"

"How do you know that?"

She pointed to a character. "It's from a candy shop."

"You read Japanese?"

"My family lived it Japan for a year. It's the type of place where you need to know the language and you better be good at it."

"Yeah, we went a couple summers ago and it was difficult to get around. Did you go to Tokyo, too?"

"We visited but we lived a couple hours away from Hiroshima."

"Oh wow. Why'd you live in Japan?"

"My father was commissioned by a gallery there. My mother wasn't going to let him go alone so we all went." She shrugged.

He stared at her in awe. "Your dad was an artist, right?"

"He could draw, yes but he was a photographer."

"Can you draw?"

"A bit. I'm bad at drawing people but I can draw a mean bunny."

"Have you drawn Hershey?" He grinned.

She giggled. "No. I should though. But honestly, I'm a better painter."

"Really?! Why haven't you said anything?! We could have been working together! We could have fixed up a room downstairs to be a studio!"

She made a considering face. "That sounds like a good idea. I haven't painted anything since I moved in."

"Have you drawn anything?"

"Yeah but you wouldn't want to see that." She blushed.

"Of course I would! I can't believe we didn't know this about you!"

"I don't talk about it a lot." She was embarrassed. Her art was a raw, sore subject for her.

"Can I see?"

She really didn't want to show him but had no logical reason why he couldn't. She went to a book on a shelf and brought it back.

He flipped through it and found many different drawings. A lot were flowers with dark lines and odd but pleasing to the eye pops of color but there were a lot of nature shots (with and without animals), furniture and strangely enough; letters, some American, a lot not.

"I never thought I'd quote Rae but I'm going to ask you something she asked me back when we adopted the kids."

Bumble Bee lifted an eyebrow.

"How many languages do you speak?"

Her face changed to show amusement. "What?"

"Come on. Tell me. It must be a lot." He really wanted to know.

She shrugged. "I don't know. I never counted."

"Let's count now." He held up his fingers. "Go!"

She laughed and shook her head before actually thinking. "English of course. Spanish. Italian. A Native American dialect. Greek. Japanese. A bit of Chinese. A few Russian swear words."

"So… eight?"

"Kinda."

"How'd you learn all those languages?!"

"My mother was half Italian and it was the first language I learned. I learned English and the NA dialect at the same time before I went to school. I met a group of girls that would become my very best friends and one of them was more mixed than I was and she knew the same languages I did.

She grew up in Greece and she taught us a lot of Greek words and I wanted to learn on my own. She also knew Japanese but I didn't learn until we moved. When we came back, it was fun to talk to her in it.

Another friend was Mexican and she taught me Spanish. I learned the Chinese through school because my mixed friend knew it and Russian, which she taught us because she cursed like a sailor and we wanted to know what she meant.

So I'm multi-lingual." She lifted her shoulders.

"That's so cool." He slid her a sideways look. "Do you curse in Russian a lot?"

She chuckled. "I don't curse in any language anymore. At least not out loud."

He grinned and elbowed her gently. "Well I love your stuff. I really like your fire ones. They're not always orange and red. I like that you use colors not expected and that you use, what's this? charcoal? with bright colors."

"Thanks. I got it from my friend. She was great with charcoal, even using coals from Kingsford to draw and she still used crayons and colored pencils instead of markers."

He noticed her tone. "Do you miss her?"

Her gaze dropped and she lifted a shoulder, not quite pulling off cavalier. "I haven't seen any of them in years."

"Don't you wish you could see them though?"

"It's over, Changeling. I don't even know where they are now."

He nodded slowly, gears turning in his head. "Open your present."

She set aside her sketchbook and finished opening the box. She laughed when she saw what was inside. "No way!"

"Yes!" He cheered.

She picked up a stick. Changeling (and Raven) had gotten her specialty apples, ranging from traditional caramel and candy to wild flavors with different topping combinations. They were individually wrapped but were packed in tight. "Thanks, C!"

"You're welcome!" He grinned.

"Look, Cal!" She turned.

Calvin stood up and floated over. "Apple, Mommy!"

"Yeah! Do you want one?"

"Yeah!"

She unwrapped it partially and gave it to him. "Be careful. Don't drop it."

"Okay, Mommy." He took a large bite and tried to talk around it.

"What?"

Changeling chuckled.

Calvin finished chewing. "Does Marco want some?"

Changeling laughed.

Bumble Bee smiled. "Marco has two teeth."

"Okay." Calvin didn't know what how many teeth a person had, had to do with them wanting an apple but he shrugged anyway. "Can I show him?"

"Yes. Just don't drop it on him."

Calvin heard the yes and ran with it. He flew back to the bed and began telling his little brother all about his treat.

"Don't you miss being that age?" Changeling asked.

"Two?!" Bumble Bee asked incredulously. "No way!"

"Come on. We had everything. Nothing was complicated. We had parents…"

Bumble Bee swallowed. "Want an apple? I think it's only fair since you did buy me like twenty."

He raised a brow but accepted.

SC

Terra sighed. "I'm really glad you're here."

"Because I relax you?" Aqualad traced a finger over her clavicle.

She blushed. "You're so dirty."

"Only for you." His mouth replaced his index finger.

She giggled and sat up a bit. "Not just because we have sex. You really center me. Some days are really hard but just knowing I have you gets me through it. Thank you."

He leaned on his elbow and stared her in the eye, pinching her chin so she'd look back steadily. "You're the water in my gills. I was swimming in a fog and getting with you was like taking a drink after being in the desert.

You bring out the best in me and really helped me through some of my biggest issues. I don't know where I'd be without you. One day I will get down on one knee and ask you to be my wife and we'll have children and fish and a big house somewhere out in the open so you never feel contained again.

But it'll have to have a pool. My kids have to swim."

She sniffled, trying to quell her happy tears but he was so sweet and planning their future. It was what she wished for all those years under her aunt's thumb. Someone to save her. "Maybe at the base of a mountain?"

He smiled. "Anywhere you want. But no deserts please. My skin cracks."

She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him atop her. "I love you so much! The day you ask me to marry you will be the happiest of my life!"

"Good. It'll be the happiest of mine, too as long as you say yes."

"Right away or-?" She teased.

He growled playfully.

"I'm sorry. Cyborg was really upset by that."

He nodded, knowing the subject was about to change (and not for the better).

"He's pretty upset by all of this. I can't believe Bumble Bee would cheat. But he can't have kids and she is pregnant. Why wasn't she more careful?"

Aqualad stilled, offended. "You don't seriously think she cheated, do you?"

"What other explanation can there be?"

He rolled off her and sat up. "She could have been implanted by space aliens."

"Garth?" She sat up and covered herself with her sheets, hurt.

"Look, I'm not trying to snap at you. Bee was a good leader and an even better friend. She kept us on our toes and looked after us. She was like a mom even then. I can't think of her as anything else. I don't want to. I mean she's so… righteous. She even got on the guys for not brushing their teeth twice a day. People like that don't cheat."

She sat there thinking. "I don't want us to fight over this. How about we don't talk about it? We can just try to support the two of them as much as we can and let their business be their business."

He reached out a hand. "Very good idea."

She shook it. "Thank you."

He pulled on her, making her fall onto his lips. "My girl is smart."

She giggled. "Garth!"

"Say that again."

"Garth!" Her eyes widened.

"Just like that." He laid her down.

"Oh Garth!"

SC

Changeling set the last bowl of snacks on the table. "Perfect."

"What are you expecting?" Raven asked.

"For them to see all these loving movies and realize how ridiculous this whole thing is and make up." He said immediately.

She blinked. "Everyone needs a plan."

"Thank you. It's almost time. Bas? Charlie? Where are you?!"

Charlotte popped up. "Hi, Daddy!"

Sebastian hopped, trying to float like his sister but his levitating left a lot to be desired. "Me! Me!"

Raven lifted him with her powers and set him on the sofa.

He jumped in place. "Fly!"

"Yeah, buddy!" Changeling shook his little head carefully. "You flew!"

Charlotte floated above the couch and then set on her feet on it before sitting on her bottom. "Is it going to be okay now?"

"Is what, Princess?" Changeling continued to mess with his son.

"I thought I told you not to worry?" Raven pulled Charlotte onto her lap.

"I know." Charlotte spoke quietly.

"You're worried about what's going on with the grownups?" Changeling asked as he sat by them before pulling Sebastian on his lap.

She nodded.

"Well don't worry. Daddy's going to fix this right up and everything will be good as new."

"Promise?"

"Promise." He kissed her cheek.

Raven checked her communicator. "It's two."

Changeling took a deep breath. "Showtime."
