It's amazing how many stupid mistakes one can find after reading the thing out loud. It's about time I did that. Sorry if some of my chapters had a few mistakes. I'll try real hard now not to repeat myself.

Chapter 6

Raven woke up, not knowing where she was. It took a while to realize she was in her own room, in her own comfortable bed. And then, she remembered what had happened. With a jolt, Raven sat up and someone stirred beside her, startling her.

"Raven, you're awake." It was Robin.

"Oh Richard, it's just you." Raven sighed with relief and lied back down next to him, facing the other way. Robin wrapped his arms around her waist.

"How are you feeling Raven?" He rubbed his hand over her abdomen, thinking of his son or daughter growing inside. Raven, thankfully, still sensed the presence of her child after the ordeal.

She placed her hand on his to stop the tickling feelings. "Better. So what happened? What happened to Starfire?"

"You were right. She was jealous of us for the past three years, and today, she just sort of...lost control. I talked to her and she'll turn around, soon I hope."

Raven felt a twinge of guilt. But why should I feel guilty for the choice of Richard and mine? I hope Starfire moves on though..."Of all things, that really scared me. Thanks for saving me."

"Oh what's that? Raven's scared?"

She giggled and nudged his stomach with her elbow. She turned to face him and smiled. There was a long pause as each stared into the other's eyes, lost in the swirling pool of the sea or the heart of an amethyst.

"So," said Robin, "How do think our kid's going to be like?"

"Better not stupid like her father."

Robin laughed. "Or a scaredy-cat like her mother. Wait, how do you know it's going to be a girl?"

She rolled her eyes. "Do you really want me to trust Beast Boy's, what's it, beastly sensors?"

"You got a point there. So, what will we name her?"

"You worry too much. I'll name her after she's born."

"Going to go for the first impression tool?"

"Well, that's what I used on you."

"Really now? So what did you...think?"

"That you were ever so handsome, intelligent, and as stubborn as an ass."

"Well I thought you were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen." Robin kissed her. Raven's insides melted.

"Aw, Richard. That is just so sweet." Both remained silent for a while. Raven turned around and gazed at the twinkling stars. Two shooting stars whizzed past and one crossed the other's path. It reminded Raven of her and Robin: two star-crossed lovers brought together by destiny.

The next day during breakfast, Starfire came out looking very pale. She hadn't slept a wink last night and most of the time her eyes were full of warm crystal tears. Once she entered the room, the conversations halted. Raven was staring at her with expressionless eyes, almost sad.

Starfire sighed and looked down. It was her fault, yet it wasn't at the same time. Beast Boy decided to break the awkward silence.

"Uh, good morning Starfire. Would you like some of my famous signature tofu recipes?"

Starfire eyed him with a hint of suspicion. "No thanks Beast Boy. I- I'm fine." She sat down at the end of the table and grabbed a pancake and some syrup. Starfire looked so lonely that even Raven softened up.

"Um, Starfire, would you like to meditate with me on the roof after breakfast?"

Everyone, including the Tamaranian, stared at her with surprise. Out of all people, the titans thought she'd be the last to be so kind this early to her. However, soon the visage of Starfire hardened. She didn't need more yelling or questions.

"I am sorry Raven, but this morning I do not wish to." She left her half eaten breakfast and left. Raven stared at the closing door and followed.

Starfire felt someone behind her and whipped around to stare face to face with Raven.

"Look Starfire, we should talk."

"No Raven, there is nothing to talk about!"

The dark titan took a step back and frowned. "What do you mean, there's nothing to talk about? We should sort this out before it gets worse!"

"Look, you cannot just show up and tell me how to live my life. You took the only boy I would ever love, and all the effort of trying to please him has drained me of everything I have."

"Wait, I took? I did not take Richard away from anybody. It was his choice!" She remembered the two meteors last night. "It was fate!"

"I do not know of this fate you talk about, but all I know is if it were not for you, Robin would be with me!" She turned around sharply and began to walk away.

Raven scowled in confusion and said quietly, "You're not making any sense, Starfire."

The redhead spun around again. "Well, Raven, you are not either! Robin does not deserve you!"

"What?"

"You heard me, he does not deserve you!" Her voice was shaking now. "He deserves someone like me!"

"Starfire, something's wrong, isn't there?" Raven made a few hesitant steps forward.

The other titan remained silent and quickly walked away. Please Raven, I do not wish to argue anymore. Love hurts so much it needs a long time to heal.

Unknown to Starfire, Raven could read minds. She caught her last thoughts and knew it was confusion that was swallowing up Starfire and not so much as black hate. Smiling slightly, Raven went back to finish her breakfast. Her appetite was growing.

It was eight months later, give a few weeks and nothing changed much. Raven could pretty much walk around blindfolded because the inside of the towers was pretty much all she had seen for the past. Robin had been chasing leads to Slade for four months straight. He kept getting information about Slade's heir. Many days Robin would disappear into his room, wishing to be alone, and then return to Raven's side late into the late when she was already asleep.

Starfire was warmer, but still the same ice towards Raven. It must have hurt her a lot to still be like this after almost four years. Beast Boy and Terra were spending a lot of time together at the mall or at a theme park. Cyborg left for some special training and would return in about a few days.

With pretty much no one to talk to, Raven spent hours meditating in her room, not that she minded anyways. During meditation, she could catch glimpses of her child and could nourish it with her powers. She could sense it was girl and a slightly active one at that. It was even caught sucking its thumb once, which made Raven laugh heartedly. How she couldn't wait to hold the child in her arms.

A sudden knock on Raven's door brought her out of the serenity. It opened and in stepped Robin.

"Richard." Her voice had a hint of coldness to it. "This is the first time I've seen you in days."

"Raven, honey, I've come to um, apologize for that." He sat down next to her on the bed. Raven continued to stare at the light pouring from the hallways onto the floor, illuminating the reddish-purple carpet.

"Raven, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I haven't been there for you for the past few...months."

Tears started to build in Raven's majestic eyes. "I've been so lonely," she whispered.

Robin leaned over and pulled her into a loving hug. "I know. Me too."

Suddenly Raven felt a jolt and sheer pain. She started gasping and clutching her stomach. Robin looked startled and his eyes flashed with fright.

"Richard," Raven breathed, "She wants to see the world."


Sorry about the shortness. Some chapters call to be short, and this is one of them.

Next Chapter: The child is born. Possible song-fic. The second genre of the story comes in place.

Review and you shall make me smile.
