A/N: Hey peeps! ) Many of have said I need some sort of "signal" alluding to a flashback, since apparently it is hard for you to get that there is ALWAYS a flashback at the beginning of a chapter. Except for this one, because I can't think of a good flashback. But, just for you, I'll put them in italics from now on. Teehee. Oh and by the way, YES, he can be that stupid! He bought the tickets from some website because they were cheaper. Stupid BB.
Days went on and with them went Raven's perfect figure. She began to grow and grow, swelling up like a badly jammed finger. She felt terrible about herself now, at her 5th month, and Beast Boy got to take the effects of her emotions. This was all cured with a gallon of pickle and sauerkraut ice cream, however. Beast Boy had to import it from Germany in freezer boxes for his wife.
It was a day just like
any other. Beast Boy and Raven were sitting on the couch, Beast Boy
reading "So You're Going to be a Daddy… Again!" while Raven
quietly read over his shoulder. Joan played happily on the floor.
Brandon, having opened up some since his trip with Beast Boy, read
his own book in the corner of the room.
Suddenly, Raven stood up
and walked to the phone. She called someone and only spent a short
time talking. Afterwards, she looked at Beast Boy.
"I need you to go
shopping with me, dear."
"Oh, Rae?" moaned Beast Boy, "Do
I have to."
Smirking, Raven nodded. "Robin's coming over to get the kids and then we're going. I need some Maternity clothes."
Beast Boy sighed and waited for his friend. When he got there and proceeded to leave, he sighed again and got up. Raven let him put on her jacket for her (A/N: Aw, isn't he sweet?) and they began to leave. Suddenly, however, Raven gasped and grabbed Beast Boy's hand.
"What is it?" he asked, worried about her health.
"Beast Boy," she said, a wide grin on her face, "The baby!"
She put his hand on her stomach and he could feel a light kick. He gasped happily and laughed.
"A feisty little thing, isn't she?" he asked, smiling.
"Or he," sighed Raven, rolling her eyes. Beast Boy rolled his right back.
"Whatever you say, dearest."
They made it to the store and walked in. Beast Boy was amazed at the wide amount of selection they had. One thing they had there, however, shocked and disturbed him.
"Raven… my daughters are never touching boys! Ever!"
"What?" she asked, looking up from a dark purple maternity shirt's price tag, "What are you talking about?"
Beast Boy, his eyes wide, pointed to a sign on the far right. It read "Teenage Maternity Section".
"That's gross! Is
the problem really that bad, Rae?"
Raven nodded, looking back to
her shirt. Sighing, Beast Boy wandered off to the dreaded section.
There he found many very young and pregnant girls, searching for
skimpy clothes that would accommodate their growing children. It
disgusted him to see the pregnancies being taken for granted. These
kids just wanted it to be over. Half of them, if not more, probably
didn't even have the babies' fathers in their lives. A lot of
them probably didn't even know who the father was! It made him sad,
not really for the mothers (they did, after all, get themselves into
this situation), but more for the poor little babies, the little boys
and girls who would have to live without a father, and who would be
ridiculed their entire lives for having such a young mother.
Sighing once more, he wandered back to Raven who didn't even seem to have noticed him gone.
"Oh, hi," she said as he arrived, "Do you think this will fit?"
Beast Boy nodded, trying to hide his sullen look from his wife. Nodding, she bought it, going to the fitting room. Beast Boy followed her, thinking of his best compliments.
A/N: Yes, I know, short. Isn't it always? Anyway, like "An Outcast Named Raven"'s latest chapter, this came out seeming like a Public Service Announcement. Anyway, please review as I have FOUR quizzes tomorrow and I need some cheering up in the morning. )
Also, please read and review my other stories. And lastly, I'd like to know in your reviews… Once the new baby is born, do you guys want me to continue the story, sans flashbacks? Or end it with the birth? Thanks in advance for reviewing, teehee.
