A/N: Hello! You know, time really flies. It has already been a week since I updated. Wow. Well, I know I'm a slow updater (once a week is nothing compared to my summer pace), but there's no school in summer, soo…. Anyway, I'm going much faster now than I was a couple months ago, so be appreciative. ) Enjoy the chapter.
"No! Sophia, don't touch that!"
"Brandon, stop it! No, not faster, stop it!"
"Don't eat that, you two! It's poisonous!"
Beast Boy had made the biggest mistake of his life. He had supported Robin's idea of giving their wives free spa vacations for Mother's Day. Little did he know that the all you could eat meat convention in Gotham City was the very same weekend. He had accepted Robin's begging pleas to go, and Cyborg went with him. So here he was, stuck alone with two rambunctious toddlers and two very very tiny babies to watch. At the moment, he was trying to calm down both of the babies while chasing around both of the older children. Brandon was always a very quiet little boy when he was by himself, but if you teamed him up with Sophia then you were in trouble.
Beast Boy was amazed that the two even had that much energy in them. They had already broken three glass plates (from breakfast), the brand new big screen TV in the living room, six of Raven's special Azarathian plants' vases (they threw up half their weight from plants that they actually ate), half of the lamps in the house, the computer in Raven's office, two ceiling fans, Joan's crib, and the new family car. And they had been out of bed for four hours.
"Please, guys, stop!"
It finally happened. The two, completely exhausted and due for a nap, just collapsed to the floor. Beast Boy, overjoyed that the two children had just fainted, sat on the couch, which had a couple holes in it as if a dog had ripped it up. He rocked the baby girls in his arms to sleep and rested his head back.
"Thank God."
He had almost managed to drift into a nap of his own when he heard the door open.
"BEAST BOY!" he knew the voice instantly as his wife's, "YOU DESTROYED THE HOUSE! AND… WHAT THE HELL? YOU KILLED THE KIDS!"
Beast Boy chuckled nervously.
"Don't worry, Raven, they aren't dead. They just fainted…"
"Oh, I of course I won't worry. Why would I? My son and niece are passed out on the floor and my husband is all fine and dandily napping! What is there to worry about?"
Beast Boy stepped forward to put his arm on her shoulder but realized he couldn't because he was holding the two babies.
"Calm down, sweetie. They just destroyed the house and got a little tired, that's all."
He realized what he had said and mentally hit himself again.
"I mean… err…."
Raven rolled her eyes and took Joan and Annie from her husband. She put them into two baby swings and began to meditate, gathering her energy. Beast Boy just watched her while she meditated until she was done.
"You better be glad as hell that I can do this, dear," she groaned, and began fixing the mess the children had made.
"Hope you don't expect to sleep in our bed tonight, sweetheart," Raven spat, "And by the way, those tickets you gave Starfire and I? They were fake. We were almost arrested. Thanks for asking why I was home."
She ran up the stairs.
"But, Raven! Wait up! Rae?"
He sighed, picking up and the toddlers from the floor.
"I hate PMS."
Beast Boy snapped out of his flashback when he finished his shower. He pulled on his clothes and practically ran downstairs, where he found Robin with Annie on his hip.
"Oh, hi, Beast Boy," he said, "Let myself in, hope you don't mind."
"Of course not, Robin, you're as good as family. Oh, hi, Annie."
"Hi, Uncle BB!" she said happily. Robin put her down and she ran off to play with Joan. Beast Boy smiled.
"She's a cute kid,
Robin. She looks just like Star."
"Yeah, she does, doesn't
she? And thanks. Well, I have to get going. I'm taking Sophia to
get her hair done."
The two smiled at each other.
"Have fun," Beast Boy said.
Just as Robin left, Brandon came down the stairs. He looked sullen as always, but Beast Boy thought that he could see a little bit of color to his son's pale complexion, the kind someone gets when they're very happy.
"You ready to go, kiddo?" he asked, almost a little nervous to be alone with his son. Brandon nodded as Beast Boy called and told Raven they were going. Beast Boy, with his son behind him, walked to his van. He helped Brandon in and got into the driver's seat.
"Where do you want to go, son?" Beast Boy asked, looking at the boy.
"Um…" said
Brandon, looking a tiny bit scared, "Maybe we could go to the book
store, dad?"
"Sure," Beast Boy said, although he was a
little disappointed at his choice.
When they got there,
Brandon ran in excitedly. He ran immediately for the comics section.
Beast Boy's eyes widened and he followed his son. Brandon was
looking at some of the superhero comics.
"Brandon, you like this
stuff?"
Brandon looked a little embarrassed as he looked at his dad who had knelt down beside him.
"Yeah. I love to read, you know, but it is fun to enjoy some comics like these once in a while."
Beast Boy gasped and hugged Brandon tightly.
"You really are my son!"
Brandon giggled as his dad let him go. Beast Boy was surprised at his sudden change of heart, but he guessed that the little boy just needed his father's love and approval to open up a little more.
"Hey, dad, look!"
Brandon called after the two had looked for a little.
"What?"
Beast Boy walked over to him to see what he was pointing at.
Surprisingly enough, it was a Teen Titans comic!
"Wow, Brandon, isn't that cool?"
"Can I have it?" Brandon asked excitedly. Beast Boy saw a little smile on his lips for the first time in a long time.
"Of course!"
The two boys bought it and left. They went to see some funny Pirate Movie, which they both thoroughly enjoyed, and then to lunch. Once they both ate, they returned home. Raven couldn't stop Beast Boy from talking about it all night.
"And during the movie, Brandon actually laughed, Rae! He laughed!"
"I know, honey," Raven said, sighing, "And I know it excites you, and I'm glad that he opened up! But I'm really tired."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
Beast Boy turned over in their bed and fell asleep with a great big smile on his face.
