After two weeks later, Raven and Robin still weren't talking. They were leaving Rome in a few more days. Raven begged and Robin always rejected her.

"But Robin you told me that you might get back with me. I am truly, deeply sorry. You're a smart boy you should know it's hard to take control of your hormones and it was really hard for me because I'm going through some things." Raven stopped Robin in the hallway, "I mean, can't we at least be friends, again. Please."

"Okay, okay, we can be friends," Raven smiled at his comment, "But nothing more."

"Alright, nothing more." She said sadly as he walked away.

"Congratulations, you two are finally friends again." Austin came and unlocked the door with his card.

"Yeah, yippee." She said as she walked into the suite behind him, "It hurts when the one you love only wants to be friends, it does Austin."

"Yeah, I know how you feel, I really understand." He said with an attitude.

"AJ, what I say?" She asked befuddled at his sudden mood change.

"Nothing, Moon, I thought you were smart. After ten millions years and all of this time. With all of the flowers and notes and be my valentine chocolate and cards every year. You still don't get it, you really don't get it." He slammed the door that connected the kitchen, dining room, and den with the bedroom. Raven suddenly gasped as she realized what Austin meant.

She got up and knocked on the door, "Austin, I had no idea, I'm sorry. I was just so caught up with other things, people, and myself that I never really paid you any attention." How could she have been so blind and dumb.

Alessandro and Raven had been going on dates since the first time Robin had rejected her. They visited gardens. The Roman Coliseum, and any other famous attractions in Rome. Alessandro even reserved her a private light show and it showed a whole story. It was really amazing. Even though Alessandro bewitched and captured her so much, she still didn't feel the same way with him as she did when she was with Robin. And the feeling Robin gave her was so dreamy, romantic, and amazingly beautiful that she could not give any of that feeling away.

He opened the door, "I'm sorry, Moonlight, it's not your fault at all. I had just finally blew. I'm the one who should be sorry and I am. I should at least be happy that you are with someone that you actually truly love. And I am happy for you, Moonlight, I'm happy that you found love. I just wish the one you love will just forgive you and stopping breaking your small, fragile heart."

"Thank you, AJ.", She smiled, "I have to go find Alessandro, see ya later." Raven grabbed her key and left out.

Raven sighed as she pressed the down button on the wall beside the elevator. The elevator opened and there was Alessandro pushing a food cart. He stepped off the elevator as the doors closed.

"Oh, Carvino, I was just bring you and Austin a crème caramel. Here you can have yours now." Alessandro handed her the delicious desert.

"Who ordered this for us?" Raven took the crème caramel.

"Oh, it was said to be sent by an anonymous person." Alessandro said with really no clue.

"Oh, well I was wandering, if maybe you and I can have a picnic at the Janiculum Hill at five." Raven asked anxiously.

"Sure, Carvino. I'll be in the lobby by 4:25, it shouldn't take an thirty minutes to get there." He smiled, "See ya there, veda il ya." He handed her Austin's desert on stepped back on the elevator.

"See ya." She dropped Austin's desert off and walked over to Terra and this girl named Nicole Diaz's or just Jinx suite.

"It's me." Raven answered Terra as she opened the door, "Hey Terra, Jinx. I'm going on a date and I need something to wear."

"With, Robin?" Terra asked smiling.

"No, with Alessandro."

"Oh." She frowned digging in her closet, "Here this is absolutely cute. You have to wear and your legs are worth a trillion dollars. It's perfect!" Terra pulled out a royal blue, white polka dotted, ruffle front shirt, navy blue high waist shorts with a matching big buckled belt, red peep-toe platform pump shoe, and a yellow money bag purse.

"And I have a some red bangles for you to wear and red hoop earrings." Jinx perked up although she was a very sarcastic and down to earth girl.

"Oh and I am a very good beautician." Terra handed Raven her brand new outfit, "Put it on." Raven put the outfit on and when I'm telling you she looked like a big superstar, I'm not telling you wrong!

"Wow, I wish I had your looks." Jinx smiled at her.

"Me, too, come on let's do your hair and makeup." Terra instructed her. When they were through, Raven looked amazing. Her violet locks hang loosely. They were very shiny and bouncy. She had on red lipstick and a little navy blue eye shadow. She also had on a little gold bronzer.

"Thanks you guys, I could've never done better myself and for free. I love you guys." She smiled.

"For free, who said this was all for free." Terra said with an attitude then they all started to laugh, "Hey girl it's five minutes to 4:20, you better get going."

"Bye." They waved at each other as Raven ran out of the suite. She was too excited to get on the elevator so she ran down five flights of stairs and she made just on time.

"I'm here, 4:25 on the dot." She smiled at Alessandro as she came down the stairs.

"Yeah, and they say girls are always late. Wow, you look, you look, absolutely exquisite." He smiled, "Oh, here." He reached into the picnic basket and handed her a yellow rose with pink tips.

She smiled and took the rose, "Grazie."

"Il (il) vostro benevento. You like?"

"Si. Let's go." She put her arm through his and he escorted her out of the building.

"Ah." Robin sighed as he watched the couple walk to a small car out of his suite window he was sharing with Geo-Force.

"I reserved a poste italiane car, just for you, Carvino." Alessandro opened the small, red car's door for her.

"Grazie." She smiled and sat down on the small black seat. Alessandro took off and in no time they were at Janiculum Hill. They walked until they found the perfect spot. Alessandro spread the blanket on the ground smoothly. He sat peanut butter, jelly, lemonade, wheat and white bread, and the need utensils.

"Well, I hope you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, lemonade, and mocha brownie torte." He asked nervously.

"Well, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and lemonade, yes, mocha brownie torte, I haven't even heard of."

"Well, when I tell you it's squisito, I'm not lying." They both laughed. For awhile they talked about their childhoods and the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to them. By then they both had eaten up all of the bread with peanut butter and jelly. And stuffed their mouths with mocha brownie torte. Now they were lying on the blanket and counting each star.

"Wow, the stars are so amazing. They're always so bright and shiny." Raven looked at them in awe. Sure she had seen before but she never really paid that much attention to them.

"Kind of like you, Carvino." He turned to face her.

"Humph, I'm not always bright and shiny, amazing, maybe." She turned to face him also.

"To me you are , Carvino. I love you." He smiled.

"I, I love you, too, but I'm not in love." She whispered the last part. She really whispered the whole thing. But just hoped he didn't hear the last part the most, "We're leaving tomorrow. Why don't we give each other our email address, home address, and uh cell phone numbers. I have long distance."

"Sure.", They did what Raven mentioned, "It's getting late, let's go back to the resorts." Alessandro smiled as they cleaned up and got ready to go.

Back at the hotel Robin was sitting in front of the resorts on a bench. Alessandro opened the door for Raven as she got. She gave him his coat and thy each other a short goodnight kiss.

"Good night." Raven smiled.

"Sleep tight." He smiled as he got in the car to take it back to its rightful owner. Raven turned around feeling good but still not over Robin. Sure Alessandro was cute with his gelled black hair, stunning, regular-sized, ocean colored, eyes, and cute pink lips that were so smooth and luscious. But Robin had more and she just couldn't let go. When she looked up she saw Robin looking at her surprised and pissed.

"Oh, hi Robin." She looked away.

"Don't, oh, hi Robin, me!" He screamed.

"What'd I do!" She yelled back.

"You kissed him and right in front of me, duh! How could you!" He said in an obvious way.

"Well, since when can I not have a boyfriend without your approval! We're just friends Robin, remember, you said it yourself! We're just friends and nothing more!" She stormed to her suite angrily. When she got in there Austin was already sleep. She reached in her pocket and grabbed the picture of her pocket that Alessandro had gave her of him. He was dressed in his hotel uniform and he was smiling his big 100-watt smile, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the strawberry milk mustache around his mouth. That cheered her up. He cheered her up. But once again she couldn't love him like she loved Robin. She went to sleep with the picture in her hand. She slept without a stir and with wonderful dreams. That whole morning while she was getting ready to leave Roma she couldn't help but think about Alessandro. She even thought that maybe one day she would forget about Robin and her an Alessandro could be in love with each other. They would visit each other and talk on the phone all day long. And one day one of them would move to Rome or America. She figured maybe should could move to Rome. Because she knew Italian more than he knew English and then she could really forget about Robin.

"Come on Austin we have to go." Raven said as her and Austin closed the suite doors. They were going to miss it. It actually would be an hour before they had to meet in the lobby, but she just wanted to say goodbye to Alessandro and Austin wanted roam around the resorts.

"Hey, Miss Tavares, do you know where Alessandro is at this moment." Raven asked the friendly desk clerk.

"Si la dalla fontana." She pointed to the fountain and smiled at the young girl. Raven said thank you and walked over to the fountain. She heard two people laughing. She started to get suspicious as she got closer.

"Huh!" Raven gasped at what she saw. She saw Alessandro and some Italian girl making out by the fountain, "Alessandro! What in heavens are you doing!"

"Carvino, aren't you suppose to be getting ready for America." He jumped up surprised. Bam! That caused it. Her first panic attack. All of sudden she started sweating, shaking, her heart started to race really fast, she couldn't breath, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, she started to choke really bad, she felt like throwing up, her body felt exhausted, she started to itch uncontrollably, her whole body felt numb, she was crying uncontrollably.

"Carvino! Rosalinda, go get Miss Tavares! Hurry!" Alessandro rushed over to Raven. She was still standing through all of this. Then, she started to fall, but her knight in shining armor caught her and saved her life.

"She's having a panic attack!" Robin held the crying and scared Raven in his arms. Then everything stopped and she was fine again, just like that, "Are you okay, Rae?"

"I'm fine." She said weakly as she looked at Robin and Alessandro and started to cry.

"Um, I have to go. Come on Rosalinda. Bye Rachele, I'll never forget you." He told her as she turned her face away from looking at his. He hopped on his motorcycle and drove away with the Italian girl. Raven looked at Robin and started to cry freely.

"Rachel, what did he do to you." He looked down at her and smoothed her hair away from her face.

"He practically dumped me. He told me he loved me, we had sex, we kissed, we went on a million dates, we watched the stars together each night, and everything else. But he didn't care, I caught him kissing that Italian girl. I broke down, Robin, my body and emotions finally gave up. I'm going crazy, I'm turning into Jason." She told Robin everything.

"No, no, you are not turning into Jason. I'm sorry I put all of this stress on you, I'm sorry, you hurt me Raven." He looked down at her but not in the eyes.

"Robin, I thought you hated me, what are you doing here now, comforting me? Shouldn't you be wandering around the resorts with your friends for last time instead of spending your time helping my slutty self? Am I worth that much." She asked him.

"No, why, I love you too much. And your worth everything. You're so valuable to me, Raven. I can't kill you down like this. But you have to promise you'll never be unfaithful to me anymore." He smiled.

"I promise." She smiled back.

"Your eyes are still stunning." He looked her in the eyes for the first time in three weeks as they stood up.

"And you're still the best thing that has ever happened to me." They both walked in holding hands.

September

Four months had passed since they had been in Rome. Raven and Robin practically had spent the summer together. Robin was mad because Raven and him had never made love. She did it with everyone else except her own boyfriend. But she said no, because she believed that they should wait for marriage. Then he got even more mad and said that she waited to say that to him. And she said that those times were some of the biggest mistakes she had ever made.

"Wow, Rae, you are getting fat." Terra told her as they were trying on new clothes. All of the seniors had plan to wait another year for college for some reason.

"Yeah, I noticed that myself." She looked at her poking stomach that was flat only one month ago.

Terra sat thinking for awhile, "Hey, Rae, when was the last time you had your period."

"Why, that's none of your business!" Raven screamed lowly.

"Well, when?"

"I don't know like a few days after we arrived in Rome." She said as she stepped in the dressing room.

"And you never thought about being, pregnant?"

"No!" She screamed and everyone in the big store stopped to stare.

"Raven, you're bringing attention." Terra said starting to get mad.

"What makes you think that?" She said as she opened the door and motioned for Terra to come in.

"Wow, you look hot." Terra licked her lips at Raven in a thin yellow halter bikinis top and bottom.

"Terry!" Raven through the hanger at her.

"What you do." They laughed, "You could be pregnant you know. I mean you an Alessandro had sex and then your cycle came on. Then for four months it stopped. I don't know what you think but I think it's very irregular. And for the fact your little belly is getting so fat that you are going to have to take your belly ring out anytime soon."

"Okay fine, on our way out I'll get some pregnancy tests." She smiled knowing Terra was right. Raven started to take off her bikini top. She had the perfect breast. They weren't sagging and they weren't too high. They weren't too big or too small. They were just right. And her nipples were pure pink. They went great with her grey skin. (Okay I know you guys are thinking I'm so nasty. But I'm doing this for a reason and you'll see it later on into the story. Hold your horses! Lol.) Then she slipped off the bottoms. Her vagina was clear with no pubic hair or it wasn't red or funny looking. (I'm so sorry but I hate writing this nasty stuff, but I have to say this to get to my point. And as for the "V" word I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't just vulgar, sorry!) And her butt cheeks were big and round. Terra was taking note of all of this. She had never noticed how perfect her body was and how curvaceous her body was. Terra was staring hard as Raven put her clothes back on.

"Okay Terra, you're really freaking me out. Can you stop staring and talk about something else." Raven chuckled as Terra snapped out of her daydreaming, "Let's go." Terra was thinking the whole time Raven was talking. Thinking about her best friend in crazy ways.

"Terra,", Raven waved her hand in Terra's face, " Tara Emanuela Markov, snap out of it. What is wrong with you girl?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Terra put on a fake smile.

"Terra what's wrong, I'm your best friend, remember you can tell me anything." Raven smiled at Terra.

"Nothing's wrong, Rae. I'm just a little tired."

"Okay if you say so. Let's go get the tests and get you in bed. Aubrey and Miranda's gone some place again and I want someone to come stay with me." Raven and Terra smiled at each other as they walked into a store.

Back at Raven's house they were both so anxious to find out if she was pregnant. She peed in a cup, it was a lot since she'd been holding ever since Terra was talking about how she needed to make sure she wasn't pregnant. She stuck a First Response pregnancy test in the cup. They both waited in the bathroom for about five minutes.

"Okay here we go." Raven took it out the cup, "You read it." She covered her eyes. For awhile they sat there in silence.

"Well?" Raven asked with her hands still over her eyes.

"Raven it's positive." Terra said slowly and lowly.

"It's positive. I'm pregnant." It's funny how before she knew if she was pregnant or not, she was hoping she was. And now that she know she is, she's not so happy and wanted to cry. She knew it wasn't Robin's or Red X's baby, so it had to be Alessandro's.

"You have to get an ultrasound right away, Rae." Terra looked at her with her big, blue eyes.

"Tomorrow, I'm asking Kane and Belinda's mom to give me a ultrasound. She works with that type of stuff. I think I want to go to bed now. Goodnight." Raven walked out of the bedroom.

"Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bight." Terra whispered at her friends retreating figure.

Raven walked to her bedroom slowly starting to cry. What if she really was pregnant. How was she going to Robin or anyone. She knew Robin would be hurt because it's wasn't his baby and Alessandro lived way in Rome, so it was no chance he would find out. Oh, she had forgotten that they gave each other their email and home addresses. It would be hard just to communicate with him in anyway. She lied in her bed and stared at the wall until she fell asleep. She was knocked out in minutes. Terra came in seconds later and crawled in the bed with her. She started to think about how she was studying Raven earlier and why she was studying her in that way. Then she realized she always did that with girls, boys, Kory, Kane, Belinda, and Jinx. But she never really paid attention until she started doing it with her best friends. It was just so weird. She finally came up with a solution why she did it and fell asleep on it.

The next day Raven went to Dr. Elliott's office. To her surprise there weren't any patients for her. She's usually so busy, she doesn't see Kane, Belinda, and their little sister, Charlene, for longer than 2 weeks. So that was just Raven's luck.

"Hello, hey Dr. Elliott." Raven knocked the door.

"Rachel, dear, what are you doing here. And call me Evelyn." Evelyn smiled as Raven entered the office.

"Um, Dr. Ell, um, Evelyn, I need an ultrasound." Raven stuttered as Evelyn's frown turned upside down.

"An ultrasound, why?" She asked mad.

"I think I made be pregnant. I took a home test, it turned out positive. Also I'm pretty much having all of the symptoms." Raven looked away.

"When was your last menstrual cycle?"

"May, 23."

"Are your breasts starting to swell up and are you having fatigue?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"How about morning sickness, lower backaches, or frequent urination? Are your nipples suddenly getting darker or have you had any weird food cravings?"

"Yes."

"All of it?" She asked surprised.

"All of it." She told her confidently.

"Okay can you lay on the table for me." Evelyn said as Raven lied on the white sheeted table. Evelyn did some things and then put this little mouse thingy on Raven's belly. She turned on the computer screen and some static came up then a little thing moving around.

"Yep, Missy, you're pregnant alright." Evelyn sighed at the young girl who was like a daughter to her especially since her own parents died, "Would you like to know the gender?"

"Yes please." Raven swallowed hard.

"Well it's a boy. You see this little bitty thing right here, that's how I know. Looks like he's a big thumb sucker. You're about twenty weeks pregnant." Evelyn smiled at Raven for the second or third time that day.

"I can't believe this." Raven started to cry.

"Don't worry, Sweetheart, you're going to get through it, I promise." Evelyn smiled as Raven left out, "Oh, and it's free!" Raven walked down the long hall back to where Terra was waiting for her.

"So, what!" Terra said anxiously.

"Terry, I'm pregnant with a boy." Raven stormed out of the building right passed Terra. She slammed her car door and started to cry.

"Rachel, what the hell, don't you dare have an abortion or give it away for adoption!" Terra opened the driver's door.

"Never! I wouldn't, it isn't that. It's going to be hard to tell, Robin!" She pushed Terra back and stepped out of the car screaming at Terra. Then all of a sudden it started pouring down raining.

"Raven I'm sorry, I, uh, you embarrassed me in front of all of those people in that clinic!" She screamed at Raven in the rain, "Now, I'm going to embarrass you! Hey everyone, look this pale, blue haired, ex-cheerleading, pregnant slut, is trifling and mean! Look at the slut, look at it! don't you just hate her!" Raven looked at Terra and started to cry more. It was thundering and lightening by now.

"Gosh, I'm sorry, Terra." Raven was crying so hard that her snot was starting to come out of her nose and se started to shake and shiver.

"I'm sorry, Rachel. I just, I really have no excuse this time. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." They stood in the rain hugging each other for about five minutes, "Let's get you home and out of the rain." Terra got in the diver's seat as Raven got in the passenger. Terra handed her a small blanket and about five minutes into the ride she was knocked out again.

"Rae, wake up, we're here. Let's go call Robin and Miranda. It'll be much better to gone ahead and tell them now. Raven immediately got out of the car and ran upstairs to her bedroom to call Robin. She picked up the phone and quickly dialed his number.

"Hello. Um, hey, I have something to tell you." Raven answered hello.

"Gone ahead, I'm ready." He assured her.

"Uh, I'm just gonna gone ahead and tell you." She sighed and inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, "Robin I'm pregnant with Alessandro's child, I'm so sorry." She said all in one breath.

"What. Are you sure? Did you get an ultrasound?"

"Yes, I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I'm having a boy." She said, "I'm sorry, Richard. I'm so scared."

"Ha, it's okay, Moonlight, you're going to get through it, I promise, you are." He smiled, "And if it makes you feel any better, I'm smiling right now and I will be when you have that precious little boy of yours."

"Will you help me shop and pick a name for him." Raven, too, smiled.

"You know I will. Bye. And remember don't worry."

"Bye.", She hang up the phone, "Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be."

"Well, that's because Robin's a good person and a great boyfriend." Terra smiled at Raven as she smiled back, "Now let's get some shuteye."
