Chapter 8
(This is one month after the last chapter)
Kori woke up in the arms of Richard she felt safe, warm and content. Kori tried her best to not wake him, but it didn't help.
"Good morning Kor" said Richard "morning" said Kori giving him a peck on the cheek, "why you up so early" asked Richard
"I'm just going to get a glass of water" said Kori. Kori walked downstairs to be greeted by maxi the puppy that Richard had bought for Meagan a few weeks back. "hey sweet baby want a treat " asked Kori grabbing the dog a doggie treat from the cabinet , the toy poodle gobbled the treat up and then it crawled back into it's leopard print bed. Kori then poured a glass of water and walked back to her room. When she went back to her room Richard was sound asleep, Kori smiled and crawled back into bed.
Kori then felt two arms hold her waist and she went straight to sleep. It was almost 12 and Kori had finally woken up to find that Richard wasn't next to her. Kori looked on her dresser and found note that said
Dear Kor,
I'm taking Meagan to her vocal coach and then out for ice cream
Be back in an hour kay
Love you, Richard
Kori smiled at the note, she loved that Richard was really taking on the task of being a dad after 13 years of Meagan's life. Kori put on some clothes and went downstairs and made brunch.
Kori thought about what Meg said about her and Richard getting married Kori smiled at the thought of finally being Mrs. Richard Grayson, she would be delighted if he asked her to marry him.
Kori also had the thought of going back to being a titan or continuing her singing career. She not only thought about her singing career but, Megan's career as a singer. Kori had a hard decision to make but she defiantly wanted to marry Richard what ever she chose. Kori was sitting in the kitchen thinking, when Rachel approached her. "I could sense that something was wrong" said Rachel "yes, there is something wrong" said Kori looking down "shoot" said Rachel "okay so the day Meagan found out about Richard finding out about me being Starfire and well she brought the subject of marriage up" said Kori "ok" said Rachel "don't get me wrong I would love that, truly I would but I would have to choose between super hero and singer" said Kori
"Oh, Kor look its up to you what you decide, the only thing I can tell you is listen to your heart" said Rachel Kori giggled.
'What is so funny" said Rachel "your corny reference to my song" said Kori "oh now I see" said Rachel giggling back
"Anyway thanks for the advice I appreciate it Rae" said Kori
"No prob and I know it's been a while but don't call me Rae" said raven "alright" said Kori laughing
Later
Meagan and Richard had returned
"Hey Kor" said Richard then pecked her lips "hey Richard" said Kori "hi mom" said Meagan "hi Meg" said Kori giving her a daughter a kiss on the forehead and a hug. "how was your day you two" said Kori, "great after vocal class dad took me to the ice cream shop and I got my favorite ice cream cookies and cream" said Meagan "sounds like you two had a good time" said Kori smiling "yep and dad and I are having a daddy daughter day" said Meagan "I think that's great catching up time for you two" said Kori smiling even more, but a fake smile that Richard began to notice.
"Meg can your mom and I talk alone" said Richard "sure" said Meagan giving her mom and dad a hug before walking up the stairs to her room.
Kori began to look very saddened "Kori what's wrong" said Richard "nothing sweetie" said Kori with a fake smile "no there's something up, I know that fake smile you do when something's wrong" said Richard. "well remember the question meg asked you when I told you I was Starfire" said Kori "yeah, about us getting married why" said Richard "well, I thought about it and I wonder if we were to get married what career would I fulfill hero or a singer' said Kori "babe, look if we were to I would support you in whatever you decided that's what im here for" said Richard
"Really thank you" said Kori smiled and this time it wasn't a fake smile either.
