"Say it again Logan."

"Doll."

"I would be so mad at you Beast Boy if Logan wasn't so lovely."

Raven was bouncing Logan on her lap while Beast Boy was sitting on his knees in front of them them.

"Why?"

"If you hadn't said I looked like a Barbie doll, Logan's first words could have been something more than doll."

"Like what? Videogame?"

"Videogame."

Raven just glared at Beast Boy, and thou he looked away he couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't laugh at me."

"I'm not laughing."

"Yes you are."

Finally he fell on his butt he was laughing so hard. Raven looked down. Logan looked up at her and smiled.

"Mama."

Raven forgot about the man laughing and just looked at the girl. The man forgot about laughing.

"Mama smile."

"Is she supposed to talk so much?"

"Actually due to our powers, when we first understand how to do thing, we really can do it."

"Mama is smiling."

The girl laughed and clapped her hands as Raven smiled to her.

"You're just jealous she said mama first."

"Technically she said Doll first, then videogame."

"Not when I'm going to tell the story."

Raven looked at Beast Boy and smiled, before he got his knees and kissed her.

"Mama kiss dada."

"You hear mama, mama kiss dada."

"Then we better do it dada."

Then they kissed again as Logan was beaming towards her parents.

--

Beast Boy swore and hid his head under the pillow, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't ignore the telephone.

"Beast Boy, get the phone."

Raven slapped her arm on his chest, and Beast Boy knew he couldn't ignore it anymore. Irritated he rubbed his eyes and grabbed the communicator, which also worked as a phone.

"Yes?"

"Beast Boy?"

Suddenly he was wide-awake. He sat up, to Raven's disappointment, and went out of the room.

"Terra?"

"Long time, no hear."

"What are you doing?"

His heart had stopped beating. The last time he had spoken to the girl on the other line, she had pretended not to know him. She had broken his heart.

"I need to talk to you."

"Terra I don't think that is such a wise idea."

"Please."

"Terra I'm engaged."

The silence was horrible.

"Please."

"Terra, its Raven."

He could feel the hatred and anger through the phone.

"Please. Just coffee. Our diner."

Silence. He wanted to tell her no. To be sure. But he wasn't. As quickly as he had heard her voice, something changed. He wanted to see her.

"Thirty minutes."

"Thank you."

Then she hung up. His arm fell along his side like dead meat. He felt like he crap. He couldn't breath, and he had a lump in his chest. Beast Boy turned and opened the door.

"Rae. Rae?"

She was awake, but she didn't turn or give any notion that she had heard him. The lump grew.

"Raven?"

"What?"

Her voice was deadpan. He hated deadpan more than anything.

"I have to go."

"Where?"

"Out."

"It's five in the morning."

Silence. He didn't know what to say.

"With who?"

He wanted to tell her, but when he opened his mouth he couldn't form that name.

"Nobody."

"Be safe."

He said nothing. He quickly got dressed and walked to the door, but he stopped with the door open.

Raven never made a sound when she cried. The few times she actually cried. But even Raven couldn't stop the sound of her tears falling from her nose and down on the mattress.

He closed the door behind him.

--

"Mama sad."

"Mama's not sad precious."

"Mama is sad."

Logan was looking up at her with her father's green eyes, and it took all of Raven's control to not let her emotions break her heart.

"Logan your barley 16 months old. Pretend to be one. Now play with your toys while mama packs our bags."

Logan looked at her a few more seconds, before giving up and sitting down with her stuffed animals. Raven turned back to her suitcase.

The door opened and she knew who was standing there.

"You're leaving?"

"You stopped loving me."

Raven couldn't turn around, but her voice was as blank as ever.

"You really thought I wouldn't feel it. You reek of her."

"What do you mean?"

She turned and looked at him.

"Every person you meet leaves a mark. Like a signature. Some for only a short period, and some will last forever. And you left me at five in the morning for her."

Silence. She wanted him to say something. Anything. But he said nothing.

"I'm not like the other girls Beast Boy. I don't care about flowers and cerise napkins. But I do care about you, about us, and you hurt me leaving me for her."

"Terra?"

"Don't say that traitors name."

Her voice cracked, and her anger and pain was suddenly very clear.

"She was your first love, and therefore you and her will always be connected. I know that. But…"

She looked down. He wrapped his arms around her, but she didn't have the strength to put hers around him.

"Your wrong. She wasn't my first love Rae. You were. Before she even entered our lives you had my heart. I can't deny I had feelings for her, but nothing that compares to you. And if you don't believe my words trust what you feel."

Raven closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. She could hear his heart beat so loud.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

She could feel her. Lingering there. Both the good, and the bad. But as she went deeper and deeper into the emotions of the man standing in front of her, she was shocked to find that it wasn't as big as it had first felt. She found something more, something that made her almost disappear. Vanishing in the ocean that was his love for the woman standing in front of him. Raven knew he had loved her, but she had always tried not to dive into his emotions. Now that she did she found his love filling her up in ways she never before had felt.

She wrapped her arms around him, and he pulled her closer.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm the one who should apologise Rae. I never should have left."

"No you shouldn't."

She looked up at him.

"But I forgive you. You came back. Did you get what you were searching for?"

"Actually I never saw her."

Raven got a confused look on her face.

"You've been gone for four hours."

"I know, but as I was standing outside the diner I realised she had nothing left for me. Nothing that I neither wanted nor needed anyway. And I turned and walked away."

"Then what have you been doing for four hours?"

He grinned as he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a box. Raven recognised it as a doll box.

"To congratulate Logan with learning to talk."

"A doll."

Raven shook her head as she took the box. She turned it and a shocked look washed over her face. She looked at him, then the doll, then him again.

"A teen titans Raven doll?"

"It was hard to find. Sold out almost everywhere."

"But Robin it's embarrassing."

"It's for charity Raven."

"Come on Rae, I think its kind of cool. Soon people will play with small versions of us. Eat out of lunchboxes with our pictures on it. Swap teen titans picture cards."

Raven sat down and looked at the others with her emotionless face. She didn't want to say the true reason she didn't like the idea of a Teen Titans line of merchandise.

"It'll be awesome."

"That's because children will want to play with you."

No one seemed to hear her whisper, and she was fine with that. She just rose and went out of the room.

Three weeks late Raven entered her room, and was surprised to find a box on her bed with a post it on it. She went over, and was stunned to see a Teen Titans Raven doll.

Children will play with a hero.

Don't forget that's what you are.

"To remind Logan what a terrific mother she has."

"And what about her father?"

"Ah she's smart. I think she'll figure that on her own."

Raven hit him playfully on the arm.

"Not to forget you'll probably tell her every single day."

"Hey the girl deserves to hear a few stories, and beside I know you won't tell her."

"No. I'm more modest."

He bent down as she pulled him to a kiss.

"Doll."

Raven turned her face from father to daughter and got down on the floor. He quickly followed.

"Yes Logan. That's a doll."

"Mama."

Raven unwrapped the doll and gave it to the girl.

"That's right Logan, that's your amazing mom."

Raven and Beast Boy looked at one another again before kissing, again.
