Chapter 25

Tears run down my face as I cling onto my husband for dear life. I sob onto his chest holding tight onto him, afraid he might disappear again. I hear his muffles letting me know the tear fest isn't one sided. I reach up and kiss him as we sob onto each others faces. "I missed you so much." He kisses me. I nod crying as he rubs my back softly. "You've gotten so big. Halfway through until we get to meet them" he smiles

"I missed you too." I breath trying to catch my breath. "yeah, they've been moving around."

"They're moving?" he asks with his eyes filled of guilt. "I missed it."

"They aren't strong enough for you to feel so its okay sweetie. As long a you are here to feel them when they do." I smile

"Yeah." He looks down, "I need to tell you about the mission and your not going to be happy."

"Don't." I look at him, "Please, I just got you back. Don't tell me yet, just spend the day with me." I smile. He nods kissing me again.

"I love you." he leans his head onto mine.

"I love you more." I smile.

"Marco and Brady took off with the furniture you picked, is there anything else we need?"

"yes, everything." I smile, "But now that your home.." we can find out the sex of the babies."

"You don't know?" he stood shocked

"No, I had the doctor write it down so we could find out together." I smile

"That's so sweet honey" he kisses me.

"Lets wait though" I smile, "lets reveal the genders to everyone, have a party with all of our friends, and a cake with balloons and streamers." I rant excitedly crying

"Raven are you okay?" he looks into my eyes.

"I'm so okay." I kiss him, "I'm just so happy!"

"anything for you." he kisses.

I look at my watch to see its still time to plan the party. I turn on my heel. "we need to go to the bakery and give them the envelope and they'll make a beautiful cake for each twin, and when we cut into them it'll tell what we are having." I jabber grabing his hand pulling him towards the elevator.

"Raven stop." He squeezes my hand. I turn to see his serious face hidden with the mask, "Your not okay."

I look down, "No I'm not. But I want to celebrate our children before you go missing again." I turn on my heel stomping now.

Nightwing follows behind me into the elevator, "This isn't fair, I had to."

"You had to leave for 2 months-" I breath feeling the twins stab into me warning me to calm down, "I was alone for 2 months Nightwing, I'm angry. But I really want to celebrate our children and my pregnancy. So please just shut up and we'll order a cake, get a photographer and throw a fucking party for our twins gender reveal." Nightwing nods standing silent.

"why all of a sudden do you want to do this?" he asks.

"Because I want to." I cry, "Is it so hard to just do what I want?"

"No, I'm just worried." He says dully

"I'm 20 weeks pregnant with twins, I'm allowed to be emotional and unreasonable." I sigh.

"Im sorry Rae. We can do anything you want." He smiles.

"I just want to go home." I walk out of the elevator into the lobby. Nightwing follows me not sure what to do or say. We get out the front door and are bombarded with Paparazi.

"The estranged husband is back, Raven are you happy?" a microphone is shoved in my face.

"are you pregnant?"

"Nightwing, did she cheat?"

Questions are hurled at us and we are blocked. I turn to Nightwing seeing no escape. I grab his hand and pick us off the ground. He objects but as our space is closing in we fly up the tall building and go through the sky until we land softly in front of our home. I sigh as I walk away from Nightwing to our front door.

"Raven. Wait." He begs. I ignore pushing through the front door.

"Nightwing!" a voice yells through our home. Not sure of the intruder I put up a ball of black energy unsure of the threat. Then as Nightwing steps in the little boy runs out from the kitchen with an action figure in hand. His blue striped shirt is cute with his tan kakhie pants. The small converse are black and adorable. His dark brown hair has a tint of purple in it. I blink unsure of who this child is.

'Hey buddy" Nightwing croutches to the floor accepting the child in his embrace. I freeze. What the hell is going on? "Have a nice day with Brady?" he smiles at the little boy.

"Yeah! We played with Racecars and dinasaurs." He giggled.

"That's awesome, do you remember that lady I kept talking about?"

"The beautiful girl who you love!" he giggles

"Yes I do love her." he smiles, "this is her." Nightwing turns to me.

The little boy looks at me with his violet eyes, he smiles shyly, 'Shes very pretty." He leans into Nightwing.

"Do you know what the best part about her is?" Nightwing smiled.

"What?" he smiled.

"She has the same powers as you." he smiles, "Shes going to help you."

"Really?" he asks in amazement, "I'm Falcon Roth" he smiles outreaching his hand. I stand in amazement staring at this child.

"Hi, I'm Raven Roth." I take his hand, "I'm your sister."
