Chapter 7, Part 2 Connections

"Raven, you look magnificent tonight," the Caped Crusader complimented. "How are you feeling?"
"Thank you Batman," Raven said, bowing her head slightly. "I already miss the baby, but otherwise I'm fine."
"Have you discovered her powers yet?"
Raven flushed. "Yes I have. She's a very strong emotipath. Very strong for one so young. We have a mutual connection, and she also feels what everyone else feels."
Batman gave a rare smile and patted Raven's shoulder before walking away.
Raven looked around and sighed. Suddenly she looked up and her eyes widened happily. "Saybia. Good choice DJ." She muttered.
All of the sudden, a familiar hand snaked around her slender waist.
"Robin," she breathed, turning to face him, and was once again taken over by his amazingly blue eyes.
He pulled her close against his body and began swaying gently with the music. Pressing his lips to her hair momentarily, he sighed, and tilted her chin up so he could see her face.
"Oh Rave," he mumbled, running a hand down her arm. "Earlier, what I was trying to say...What I need to say is..." He paused and looked away, cheeks red.
Rae took a deep breath, and turned his face back to hers. "Look at me," she said gently but commandingly. "What is it Robin?"
Robin gazed at her intensely. "I...was wrong Rave. We need you on the team. I've seen how not being there has hurt you. And how it's hurt us, and how it's changed the team."
Raven's eyes filled with tears, and Robin pulled her closer, resting his cheek on her head.
"Us, Robin?"
"You, and me, and us." Robin whispered into her ear. "I care so much about you Raven. And I felt I had lost you. I HAD lost you. I knew how to fix things, and I didn't." He looked into her eyes as a tear slid down his cheek. "I'm such an idiot."
"An idiot that many millions of girls want to be with." Raven replied, barely audible as she wiped his tear.
Robin stopped dancing and looked at Raven, blue eyes baring his soul to her. "An idiot who only wants one. For him, for his team. Who wants to be a father to your daughter if he can." His dark lashes glistened. "I want to make this better Raven."
Raven hiccupped and smiled. "My daughter has a Father. What she needs is a daddy. Can you do that?"
Robin's face nearly broke in half from the size of his smile. "Yes. Yes I can."
"Part of that means standing beside me too, though, because Ace and I are a package deal." Raven smiled playfully.
Robin nodded, smile never faltering. "I'll do that too. Raven, I love you two so much."
Suddenly they realized that they were surrounded by everyone in the room.
"Were you listening?" Raven asked indignantly. Everyone else just smiled and shrugged, and one by one, began clapping in approval of what had just taken place. Robin took her arm, and smiled at her again.
"Everyone, our Raven, once again a member of our team, and an extraordinary mother."
As everybody applauded again, he bent and kissed her. All of the sudden, Raven fell to the floor, clutching her head and quivering. "The BABY!" she screamed.
Robin knelt and grabbed her. "What's happening Raven?" he demanded.
"Acelin. She's in trouble. Great danger. She's so frightened. Something horrible at Titan Tower. MY FATHER!" She gasped, before leaping up and bolting to the door, members of the Teen Titans in hot pursuit.
