I am here with chapter 6!! This one SHOULD be a little interesting at the least...something exciting happens!!

Chapter 6: Hezar

Raven sat on her bed, smiling. In 2 weeks, she'd be Mrs. Raven Logan.

In 2 weeks, she'd be married.

To Beast Boy!

It's hard to believe that 2 years before, she had no feelings for him whatsoever. He was the midget who begged for laughter from his jokes. And now he's her fiancée.

She couldn't be happier.

Until one week, when she learned something. Something she knew would change her life, and Beast Boy's, along with all the other titans, forever. Waaaay forever. At least until they all died. Then it might be helpful.

But she couldn't tell. It was meant for her to tell, but she wouldn't. She was too nervous. And she didn't want to cause more tension than what was already there. She didn't want Beast Boy to worry, or any other titans to worry. She didn't want to worry herself.

She, Raven, was pregnant.

Raven was overjoyed at first, and flew home in a daze of happiness. She had planned to tell Beast Boy right away. But he wasn't home. He was with Cyborg and Robin at a video game convention on short notice. So she'd have to wait a week to tell. And in that week, she learned that if she were to tell him, he'd probably panic. Or maybe he wouldn't be ready. So she didn't tell.

Now, it had been 3 weeks. She was 3 weeks along. Raven was happy, but worried. If she didn't tell Beast Boy soon, he might think she was lying all along. But he never asked her if she was, so that'd be ok, right?

Another week passed...only 1 more week until she got married.

"Friend Raven, have you found your dress of wedding?" Starfire asked.

"Yes, Starfire. Remember we bought that a month ago?" Raven answered. She was surly from all the stress.

"Oh, sorry friend Raven..."

Raven groaned.

Beast Boy came in and sat beside her. "Howdy!"

She slowly turned her head to face him. "Hi."

"Bad day?"

She thought for a moment, then nodded.

'Just a bad day...' she thought.

"Raven, if something were wrong, you'd tell me, right?" he asked.

Raven sighed and stood up, ignoring his question. "I'll be back later." She said walked out of the room.

"Was it something I said?"

Raven closed her door behind her, and sat on her bed. The wedding dress she would be wearing hung daintily on a large hanger in her closet. She smiled, and then thought 'What the heck? Why not try it on one last time before the big day?'

So she did. Visions of what she thought would be the perfect wedding ran through her mind.

Until...

"Raven, it is so wonderful to see you" a voice said from behind her. Raven turned around, still wearing her wedding dress, and stared in awe at the man before her. "Y-y-you're alive...." she whispered. "Yes, and I have come for you." "Raven, it is so wonderful to see you" a voice said from behind her. Raven turned around, wearing her wedding dress, and stared in awe at the man before her. "Y-y-you're alive...." she whispered. "Yes, and I have come for you." Raven stared at the man before her. 'Hezar...'

"Hezar, is it really you?" she asked.

"Of course it is me. Who else would it be?"

Raven didn't know whether to smile, or frown, or kick and scream or what.

"What do you want from me?" she asked, growling slightly.

"Shh, Raven. Remember years ago?"

"I remember many years. Which one do you want me to remember?"

"Raven, not funny. You know why I am here." Hezar put his hands on his hips and stared at her. "That dress looks nice on you. Too bad you wont be needing it."

"WHAT!?" Raven exclaimed.

"Raven, my dear. You couldn't possibly have forgotten that we were betrothed, could you?"

Raven's eyes widened. She had forgotten.

"I cant marry you! You're nuts! I'm already getting married!"

"Yes, and you're pregnant too."

"Yes I—WHAT!? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!?"

Hezar smirked. "You don't remember me, do you, Raven? I am an empath also."

"THEN YOU'D KNOW I DON'T HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU!" She grabbed her regular clothes and went into the bathroom, slamming the door to change.

But Hezar didn't leave, because Hezar ALWAYS got what he wanted. From goods to girls. He leaned on the door.

"Raven, I am much better for you. Much better than a changeling."

"No, Garfield Logan, my future husband, is better for me."

Hezar growled. "You don't know. You would be so unhappy. All of your talent, wasted!"

"My talent is NOT wasted! I use it for good!" Raven opened the door, wearing her usual clothes.

"I would be supportive of you and your child. I'm the sort of person who would actually take care of you. And the baby. This, Garfield Logan person, he would be too afraid. And Raven, YOU are afraid. Of him. With me, you wont be afraid. You will be happy."

Raven glared at him. "You're in it, just because my father is Trigon. The powerful ruler of Azarath. And I am his heir. THAT'S why. If I wasn't his daughter, you would leave me alone. Correct?"

"Oh, come on, Raven..."

"OK, I'll go get my DNA changed."

She reached to close the door again, but Hezar touched her arm.

"Raven, I've loved you since the day I met you. We had a special something going on. That's why. And you could use your power for something much more. Something greater. Much greater than living with a changeling. You could be a mother, AND a fighter!" Hezar said softly.

Hezar was telling the truth. Even if he was determined not to loose, he really did love Raven. They were in love, at a time. Or so he had thought.

Raven DID use to love Hezar. But that was a long time ago. Almost 8 years ago. And a lot can change in 8 years.

"Raven, I will not give up on you. One thing made Garfield Logan open up to you," Hezar said sternly.

"Oh? And what is that?"

"Terra."

Raven's eyes narrowed. "Terra..." she muttered. The sound of the word made her twinge with anger. And Hezar smiled.

"Garfield Logan still loves her. I sensed it the moment I entered. But love can blind you, Raven. I do not have feelings for anyone else in the galaxy. So that is the number one reason why you would be better off with me," Hezar whispered.

Raven's heart was broken at that moment. "Really?" she whispered.

"Yes" Hezar replied softly, and he leaned in to kiss her. Raven didn't move, or hesitate, or anything, but let him kiss her.

'I cant believe I stopped loving him...' she thought.

When they were done, she felt no twinge of guilt. No twinge of doubt. A flame of hope.

Author's Note: You can pretty much guess what'll happen next....unless you can't...then you'll have to wait...teehee! Don't worry, Raven will return to Beast Boy in the end.
