Disclaimer: If I owned the Teen Titans, Robin wouldn't be dressed like a summer Christmas festival.

I just got back from the dentist, and they gave me like 10 numb shots even though I can live without any. So now...I think my brain has numbed over...so I'm sorry if this chapter seems a bit slow.

Chapter 4

Raven and Robin departed for Hawaii that morning, and arrived around noon. They checked into the same hotel they were in three years ago, but in a smaller room. The view was the same as they were only a floor below the Presidential Suites.

This was their chance to do all the activities they had missed out on earlier: Sight seeing, hikes to volcano parks, lots of shopping, and later scuba diving and snorkeling. Every evening the pair would return to the same secluded area to watch the romantic sunset like they did when they were younger.

One night in the hotel room, Raven took out her mirror and showed it to Robin.

"That's a nice mirror you got there," he replied, "It's...spiky."

"It's not any mirror. It's a mirror into my mind I use for meditation."

Before Robin could show any confusion, Raven grabbed his hand and both disappeared into the swirling vortex, and landed gracefully on a rock, well, Raven did at least.

"Raven, where are we?" Robin got up and massaged his head. He looked around at what seemed be somewhat close to outer space, except the stars were red. Many others, leading a path somewhere, joined the floating rock underneath him.

"Where do you think we are? I just told you a second ago."

"Um, I thought I knew, but you have to say, this is a bit scary."

"You're calling my mind scary?"

"Well, we're walking on jagged rocks floating in a black and red void. Sure, why not?"

"You're going to meet my emotions."

"You're what?"

Suddenly, a pink clad version jumped up and hugged Robin until he turned the red. She started to giggle. "Oh Robbie-pooh!"

If Robin ever showed fear, this was it. He screamed and grabbed the real Raven, completely shuddering at the voice. "IT'S HER! IT'S HER! IT'S KITTEN! Get me out of here! Get me—"

A slightly disgusted Raven slapped him. "Get a hold of yourself, Richard. That's Happy Raven."

He turned and faced the giggling pink Raven. "Um..."

Happy laughed. "You look so hilarious when you're scared."

More Ravens rose from the ground around them, all clad in different colors ranging from yellow to gray to purple to red.

"I've never seen so many beautiful women in my life," said a goggling Robin. Raven rolled her eyes.

"Well, this is Intelligence, Bravery, Timid, Rude, Caring, Anger, Sarcasm, Openness, and Love."

"So this is kind of like, talking to yourself?" Robin began to weave in and out of the emotions and Love planted him a kiss at the end. "Whoa, sweet."

"Isn't it? My food is seriously being kept down by that," droned Sarcasm.

"Yo Robin, your breath stinks like poo," yelled Rude, belching.

"What?"

Raven pulled her husband out of the crowd. "I think it's time to head back. You'll have plenty of time to get accustomed."

"That was the single most weirdest moment of my life," said Robin when they were transported back into the hotel room, "And does my breath seriously smell like poo?" He brought his hand up to his mouth and breathed into it.

Raven laughed. "So, want to go for a midnight swim?"

"In the pool?"

"No, in the ocean."

Robin stared out at the window and was surprised the beach was practically empty, with only a few people packing away. Sometimes, parties would be held late into the night and surfers would glide under the moon like eerie ghosts.

"Uh, sure." Then it hit him that he hadn't seen Raven in a swimming suit yet. He turned around and found her completely changed, and his mouth flew open.

Raven was wearing a two-piece dark blue, almost black, halter-top. The delicate ties fell lightly down her back like two streams of dark water. She smiled as she posed for him. "You're not swimming in your clothes are you?"

Robin tore his eyes away from her beautiful body and found his trunks. He changed in the bathroom and both walked down to the beach with towels in their hands.

"I assume there won't be any sharks?" Robin sounded a bit worried. "It would be great if we returned with all our flesh."

"Who do you think I am?" Raven got into the cool waters, letting the serenity wash over her. "I'll keep them away with my powers."

They playfully swam under the midnight sky where stars glistened like diamonds embedded in a blanket of black velvet. When the water got too cold, Raven and Robin ran towards the empty hot tub next to the pool, both soaking in the bubbly warmth. He wrapped his arm around Raven and both stared at the sky, sparkling like spilled glitter.

"Raven, can I ask you something?"

"I would think that being married gives you the right to ask questions whenever."

Robin slowly chuckled but remained silent for a while.

Raven shifted and turned to face him. "Richard, what's on your mind?"

"Have you ever considered kids?"

A nearby trashcan melted and exploded. This was not what Raven had in mind. "So soon?" she whispered, still stunned.

"Well, it's just that..." Robin paused and looked into the illuminated water, "It's just that I want a family." He looked up and stared deep into Raven's violet eyes that were reflecting the shimmery glow of the tub. "I want us to be the parents we barely knew or never had."

Raven sighed heavily and stroked his cheek. "I understand."

"You do?"

"I've had my fantasies. I had wished to have a child and to love it like I've never been loved before from my parents. My father just uses me as a pawn for power, and I hardly remember my mother."

"You seem a bit uncertain still, though."

Raven sighed again and started popping the bubbles that swam to the surface. "I just don't want Trigon to use our child as another pawn. And he or she would have to learn how to control their emotions, like me..." She trailed off. "I don't want Trigon to harm or control his grandchildren."

Robin pulled her into a tight embrace and softly kissed her forehead. "Then I'll promise to protect them."

Raven smiled and looked into his eyes. He had taken off his mask before swimming and the two orbs were shining from the watery reflection and the sea of stars above. It seemed like the sky and the ocean had come together to create those perfect eyes.

"I know you will, Richard, I know you will."

Both got out and headed back to their room, dripping water and holding hands.

A little short but my stomach is as empty as an Easter egg during the winter. Or my sister's brain.
