A/N: Last chapter, guys! I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed writing it! Please let me know if I should continue writing Teen Titans fanfics! Oh, and also, I have written another Teen Titans fanfic, in case you didn't know, called "Make You Love Me". It's another Robin/ Starfire fanfic, and if you like this story, I know you'd love the other one! Anyway, onto the last chapter: A Look Into the Future. Oh, by the way, I think I'm going to give this a strong PG or a light PG-13.
Epilogue: A Look Into the Future
Starfire stretched and yawned as she slowly rejoined the waking world once more. The sunlight that filled the room came gradually into her vision, and she smiled against the warmth of the sunbeams. What a glorious day it would be!
She felt stirring next to her and an arm slide across her waist. She smiled wider and turned over to be greeted by her husband's arms. He pulled her to his chest, enveloping her in a morning embrace. She gladly accepted it, placing her hands against his broad chest and kissing the base of his neck.
"Good morning," he whispered gently.
"Good morning to you, too," she replied. "Did you sleep well?"
"I always sleep well with you in my arms," he replied with a warm smile. She grinned up at him and kissed him again.
"I think it's time for breakfast," she said, the smell of tofu eggs wafting in the air. His eyes glistened in a teasing manner and she was left confused. "What's the smile for?"
"I just can't believe how much your English has improved," he said, his grin growing. "You sound like a normal person now."
She gave him a small whack. "Well, after being married to you for 14 years I think I'd improve."
Nightwing laughed and kissed her again. "I just love it when you're like this." He held her tighter against his chest and kissed her longer. When he lifted up, he looked into her dazed eyes.
"I'm hungry," she said in a small voice. "But if you're going to be like this the whole morning, I think I don't want to leave this bed."
He laughed and lifted up. "If there's one thing I've learned through the years of our marriage, it's to not get in the way of you and food."
Starfire lifted up, too, and got out of bed. She faced the window to their room and looked out onto the city, wrapping a robe around her. She smiled joyously. Not one day after the incident 20 years ago had she not thought about what the world could have turned out to be like if she never went back in time. And every day since then, she'd grown to love Robin – and then Nightwing – more and more.
As if responding to her thoughts, she felt her husband's arms slip around her waist. His face lowered and he gently kissed her neck, sending her into a fit of giggles. He grinned and continued.
"Breakfast," she said in a warning tone. He held her tighter.
"Now why is it," he said in a warm, deep voice that sent tingles up her spine, "that when I start getting romantic, you mention breakfast?"
"Because, while your arms and lips are very welcoming indeed," she explained, trying her best to remain in control with his body pressing against hers, "breakfast is calling my stomach away. And wherever my stomach goes, I go."
She turned around in his arms and smiled. "I think they'll miss us if we're not there."
"We could say we got sick of tofu eggs," he said, a comical look in his eyes.
"That would hurt poor Beastboy's feelings," Starfire said in a small pout.
"Raven can heal his woes," he said pleadingly.
"But that doesn't change the fact that he'll be mad at us," she argued.
Nightwing sighed and said, "Alright. We'll go. Just one more kiss." Starfire giggled, and before she could reject, his lips were devouring hers in heat and passion, filling her body with fire. His touch made her tense and tremble all at once like he had done millions of times in their marriage. She kissed him with just as much intensity until they broke apart, which seemed too soon to Starfire. He was making this too hard.
"Okay, now we'll have breakfast," Nightwing said in a rough voice.
"I changed my mind," Starfire said. He looked at her with mischievous eyes and grinned wryly.
"Too late," he said, pulling away and grasping her hand to lead her to the kitchen. She stayed put, firmly standing her ground.
"I'm not hungry anymore," she said, trying to pull him back to her. To her surprise, he quickly came back. But before she could think that he was going to be romantic again, he lifted her up into his arms, putting his arm around her back and one below her legs to support her, and started carrying her. She laughed and kept the bed in sight, but when they passed it, she began laughing harder.
"So now YOU want breakfast really bad, huh?" she asked, looking up into his face. He grinned down at her with a look that told all. She laughed more and wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they arrived to the kitchen, they saw Beastboy cooking, as usual, and Raven standing by the counter with a cup of tea in her hands. They both turned when they heard them coming and watched as Nightwing placed Starfire on the ground.
Raven smiled and said, "You really wanted breakfast, huh, Nightwing?"
"What can I say?" Nightwing replied with a cute shrug. "I'm a hungry guy!"
"Well, good," Beastboy replied. "I made extra this morning."
"Have the kids eaten yet?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah," Beastboy replied and shoved his thumb towards Cyborg's hallway. "They're playing with Cy right now."
As if to prove this, they watched as Cyborg ran quickly across the room, three kids hot on his tail, whooping and hollering. They kept their eyes on them until they disappeared into another hallway. And then they started their laughter.
"Here's breakfast," Beastboy said, setting the plates on the table for Nightwing and Starfire. "Enjoy."
"Thanks, BB," Nightwing said, sitting down in front of his plate. "You always did love to cook."
"Yeah, even if it's not real meat," Raven put in, sitting down next to Starfire, her tea in hand.
"You've seemed to like it for the past 12 years," Beastboy said, coming around to kiss his wife on the top of her head. Raven didn't say anything as she sipped her tea, but no one could miss the smile that was growing on her face. [A/N: Yes, I like Raven/ BB pairings, too.]
"Okay, guys," they heard Cyborg huff as he entered the room with one kid on his right arm, one kid on his left, and another kid hanging onto his right leg. "Uncle Cy needs a break. Who's up for video games?"
The kids quickly got off of their uncle and scrambled to the couch, searching frantically for the remote and the video game controllers. It didn't take long for a cloud of dust to envelope them as they wrestled for the luxuries. Meanwhile, Cyborg came to the table, grabbed a glass of orange juice, and wiped sweat from his head.
"Those kids of yours are going to kill me one of these days," Cyborg said to the two couples.
"Only one of them is ours," said Raven. "Blame it on Starfire and Nightwing."
"No," Cyborg said, glaring at Raven and Beastboy. "BB Jr. is one heck of a fighter. I hate racing him when he turns into a cheetah."
"A chip off the ol' block, eh?" BB said with pride, looking over at the cloud of dust where the kids were......... somewhere.
Starfire sat back and looked at Cyborg, having finished her breakfast. "Galaxy isn't causing you problems, is she?"
"No," Cyborg said with a smile. "She's as good of a fighter as the boys. She whoops up on them a few times, too."
"A chip off the ol' block, eh, BB?" Nightwing threw at his friend.
"She's beating your boy, too," he countered.
"But BB Jr. is older than her," Nightwing pointed out.
"That doesn't make a difference!"
"You guys aren't any better than the kids," Starfire said with a shake of her head. "You should know by now that girls are stronger in battle than guys."
"You said it, Star," Raven agreed.
"Eh, quit your whining," Beastboy said with a wave of his hand.
Cyborg got up after a while and headed over to the kids. "They need a referee."
When he was out of earshot, Beastboy said, "Either that or fresh meat."
They laughed and looked over in the kids' direction as Cyborg tried to split them up, only to be enveloped in the cloud of dust, too. After a while, Nightwing looked over at Starfire and smiled.
"Are you finished with breakfast?" he asked, his eyes glistening.
"Yes," she said, setting her plate aside. She got up at the same time he did, and they both put their plates away.
"Leaving already?" Raven said as they started to head towards their room again.
"We haven't gotten changed yet," Starfire said easily. "I'm still in my robe! We should at least be ready to greet the day!"
"Mm-hm," Raven said as she sipped her tea, a mysterious glint in her eye. "We wouldn't want you guys to be lazy slobs all day."
"Don't ever stop being your cute self, Raven," Nightwing said as he took Starfire's hand and walked down the hallway. "You'd make people feel unwanted."
Raven smiled into her tea as she watched Starfire and Nightwing retreat down the hall. Beastboy came up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at him with a smile.
"You know, I like that idea," he said, returning her smile. "I think we should get dressed, too."
Raven laughed lightly as he took her hand and pulled her up, leaving the tea on the table.
Starfire smiled against Nightwing's chest as he held her close, standing once again in front of the window. He rocked her back and forth, his eyes closed and his chin resting on the top of her head.
"I love you, Star," he whispered. She looked up at him, warmth in her eyes.
"I love you, too," she breathed. He opened his eyes, and showed complete seriousness in his gaze, wiping her smile away.
"I mean it," he whispered, holding her tighter as if he never wanted to leave this spot. "I've loved you since before I can remember, and I want you to know how special you are to me."
"You have proved many times how much you love me," she said in reply, the warmth back in her voice and eyes.
"Impossible," he whispered, his gaze intense. "It would take me forever to prove how much I love you."
Starfire smiled and said quietly, "And how long is forever, Nightwing?"
He bent his head to where his lips were hovering just an inch from hers and murmured, "I guess we'll know when we get there." With that, he began showing her once again just a small taste of his love for her. He captured her lips with his own, holding her body against his. He poured out all of his passion into the kiss. Since the day twenty years ago when he nearly lost her, not a day had gone by that he took her presence for granted. Every day he loved her a little more. Every day she brought a little more light to his life.
So he wanted to return the favor. He held her tight, never wanting to let go. He moved his hands to the back of her neck where he tilted it back and deepened the kiss. Her arms tightened around his neck as she passionately gave him her all. With a slight groan, he easily slid his tongue into her mouth, sending their senses into ecstasy and their bodies into fire. Heat moved through the blood in their veins as taste after sweet taste was taken.
And more tastes would be taken and more trips of ecstasy made as long as their love lasted – which was indeed forever.

Now that business is over... what do you guys think of that last Teen Titans episode?! Oh yeah, baby! That's so now my favorite. And if you don't know which one it is, it's the one where Robin takes Kitten to the dance. I was cracking up and saying, "Oh yeah!" so many times that my older brother (who is not one for romance at all) kept telling me to shut up and finally left the room ^_^. More for me! Anywho, I would like to write a fanfic on that... but I don't know what I'd say, since it kind of explains it.
...However it does leave question at the end...
OOH! New idea for a fanfic! All of you, look out for one about Robin and Starfire's dance, okay? It'll probably be a one-shot fanfic, but who knows? It may be good! I just hope the idea wasn't already stolen... I don't check that kind of thing... O.o... Yeah, anyway, hope you guys liked it!
