Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. I wish I did, but I don't. Well, here's chapter 3. Enjoy!

Starfire woke up the next with a smile. She hopped out of bed and took a quick shower. She soon got out and got dressed ready for work. She remembered that she had to pick up her kids so she called up Raven. "Hello," came Raven's tired voice. "Hello Raven. I am just calling to tell you that I am coming to pick up the kids," said Starfire. "Its okay, we'll drop them off later," said Raven. "Thanks," said Starfire hanging up. Star grabbed her purse and keys and locked up the house. She got in the car and started off to work. When she got there she unlocked the daycare and flipped on the lights signaling that it was open.

Robin

Robin woke up early in the morning and got up. He took a shower and got ready for work. He remembered that he had to call Starfire today so he grabbed her number and walked out the door. He parked his bike and walked into the hospital. "Hey Robin! How was your date," asked Clark. "It was great! I even got her to go out with me on Friday," answered Robin. "So, she's unavailable," asked Clark. "Sorry, she's mine," said Robin. "That sucks. She was so pretty," said Clark. "Not only that. She has a great personality. She is sweet and funny yet mysterious. She has a dark past from what I can tell," said Robin hanging up his coat. "So, you're saying that you know everything about this girl except her past," asked Clark. "Yeah, I brought it up one time and she instantly turned depressed. It scared me," said Robin. "Wow, she has to be interesting. I have got to meet one of her friends," said Clark. "Maybe I can hook you up. I have to call her today and she might know a few people," said Robin.

"Would you really do that for me," asked Clark. "Yeah, but I have to start work. I'll call her at lunch," said Robin walking into the ER.

Starfire

Ding, ding. Starfire's head perked up as her first parent coming in the door. "Good morning Mrs. Smith. Will I be watching Mark today," asked Starfire. "Yes, I was originally going to spend the day with him, but I was called in," said Mrs. Smith. "Well, that's okay. What time will you be picking him up," asked Starfire. "Around 4:30," answered Mrs. Smith. "Okay then, see you later," said Starfire. Mrs. Smith left leaving Mark at the daycare. An hour later the place was filled with kids. "Okay kids! It's movie time," shouted Starfire over the kids laughter. "What movie are we going to watch," asked a kid. "Today you are going to see...The Lion King," said Starfire popping the tape in. All the kids glued their eyes to the screen. Starfire sighed as she waited at her desk for Robin to call.

Robin

Robin walked out of the ER a couple hours later and sat down in the cafeteria. "So, will you call her," asked Clark sitting next to him. "Fine," said Robin taking out his cell phone. He dialed Starfire's number and listened to the rings. "Hello, Starfire speaking, how may I help you," asked Starfire all professional like. Robin laughed into the phone. "What's so funny? They pay me to say that I didn't ask," said Starfire. "Nothing. So, having a good day," asked Robin. "Yeah... JIMMY! Don't pull Cecile's hair! Sorry, Jimmy wasn't watching the movie," said Starfire. "You see why I hate kids," asked Robin. "No. Kids are adorable and anybody who hates them are crazy," answered Starfire. "Then call me crazy because I hate them," said Robin. Starfire giggled into the phone. "Robin! Ask," said Clark. "Who was that," asked Starfire. "Just a friend. He wants to know if you have any friends who want a date," said Robin. "I do, but she is engaged," said Starfire getting up. "Sorry, her friend is engaged," said Robin. Clark looked away.

"Hold on a sec," said Starfire. "Ok," said Robin. "Movie times over! Nap time," said Starfire turning off the movie. Robin could hear moans and "I don't wanna take a nap" in the back round. Robin laughed. "What? It's time for their naps," said Starfire. "Whatever. So what are you doing today," asked Robin. "Nothing really. I have to watch my kids, but that's an all day job," said Starfire. "I bet," said Robin. "If you'd like, you can come over," said Starfire turning out the lights. "Sure, what time," asked Robin. "Doesn't matter," said Starfire. "How about I come over around 8:00 so I can get out of my uniform," said Robin. "Okay, I'll see you then," said Starfire. "Okay, you live in the apartment building on Fifth Street," asked Robin. "Correct. I'll see you soon. Bye," said Starfire hanging up. Robin hung up the phone. "I hear you have a date tonight," said Clark. "Yeah, I'm just going to her place though. Nothing to date-ish," said Robin. "Yeah, well tell me that after you kiss her," said Clark. "I'm not going to kiss her! Why do you think I'm going to kiss her," asked Robin shocked. "Because, you always kiss the girl after your second date," answered Clark. "Whatever. But if I do end up kissing her, I'm not going to tell you," said Robin getting up.

"Where you going," asked Clark. "I want to finish up early so I can get ready for my date," said answered Robin. "Yeah well! I'll show you who has a date!" shouted Clark. Robin just waved him off as he walked out of the cafeteria.

Starfire

Starfire hung up the phone and sunk into her chair. I can't believe it! He asked me out on another date! I can't wait for Friday! Wait, I'm going to see him tonight. What am I going to wear! Oh man the kids. He doesn't like kids, but I can't get rid of them just because of him and Raven will kill me if I dump them on her doorstep again. He'll just have to live with them I guess. My house! I have to get it straightened up! Shit! This sucks. I have to work all day and clean up my house too! Oh well, the things I do to impress people thought Starfire. Ding, ding. Starfire looked up and she saw Raven and Billy walk in. "Hey, how were they," asked Starfire walking over to her friends. "They were fine. Billy wore them out with that video game of his," said Raven. "Crimson beat me at my own game," said Billy in shock. "Looks like they had a busy night," said Starfire. "Yeah. So, how was your date? Did he kiss you," asked Billy. "Billy! Don't ask those kind of personal questions and go put the kids down on a sleeping bag," said Raven. Billy nodded and walked off.

"How was your date," asked Raven. "Perfect! Robin is so perfect! Only one flaw though," said Starfire. "And that would be," asked Raven. "He hates kids," said Starfire. "Well, maybe he isn't so perfect for you," said Raven. "I don't know, but he's coming over tonight," said Starfire. "What are you going to do with the monsters," asked Raven. "He'll just have to live. I can't just keep on calling a babysitter for them," said Starfire. "That's right. Show him whose boss," said Raven. "Can you the monsters Friday night," asked Starfire. Raven fell over anime style. (For those of you who don't know what that is, it is when a person just falls over with a seat drop on their head. Its quite funny). "Whatever happened to not calling a babysitter," asked Raven. "He is taking me out to dinner," said Starfire. "Oh, so that's why you want the monsters at my house," said Raven. "Yeah, we'll watch them," said Billy walking back to them. "Billy! She can't just keep on dumping them on us," said Raven. "Come on Rae, this is the first boyfriend she has had in one year. Let her have some fun," said Billy. "I understand her predicament Billy but she needs to learn that she can't dump those three on us every single time she has a date," said Raven.

"Raven, you know I would hire a babysitter, but I don't have the money to pay. You guys are my only hope if I want to have a personal life," said Starfire. "Rae, let her go on her date. Its not like we have anything better to do," said Billy. "Billy please don't make me chose. I don't want to have those monsters tearing up my house every Friday," complained Raven. "They don't tear up our house! You just want to have an excuse not to have them. You are a great aunt and a great example," said Billy. Starfire sat down on the rug watching them fight with interest. "Billy I love those kids, but I don't want to become their mother! If Star keeps on dumping them on us every Friday I will go out of my mind," said Raven. "Like you aren't already out of your mind," whispered Billy almost inaudible. "What was that" asked Raven tapping her foot. "Nothing," said Billy all to quickly. "Whatever. They are not coming over Friday. End of story," said Raven stomping her foot to prove her point. Starfire got up and stared at her feet with a hurt look on her face.

"Well, thanks any way. I suggest you leave. The kids will be waking up soon," said Starfire sounding emotionless to hide her pain. Raven walked out. "Sorry Star. I tried. I really did. Look, if you want I will take the kids out to dinner Friday and you can go on your date," offered Billy. "No Billy. Raven is right. I need to learn responsibility," said Starfire clapping her hands to wake up the children. "Star, you are entitled to some happiness," said Billy. "I know, but I can't depend on you guys to baby-sit every time I have a date," said Starfire. "BILLY," shouted Raven. "I got to go. My offer still stands. Call me if you change your mind," said Billy running out the door. Starfire sighed as the kids woke up and walked over to the story rug.

Robin

A few hours passed and Robin walked out of the ER covered in blood as usual. "Clark, did any one call for me," asked Robin walking out. "No, but I called a friend who called a friend who knows this guy who called a friend and hooked me up," said Clark seemingly happy. "Repeat please," said Robin with a confused look. "Never mind. You might want to get going. You have 45 minutes to get home, shower, change, and get to your girlfriend's house before you're late," said Clark shutting down the computer. "I know. I'm leaving," said Robin grabbing his keys and running out the double doors. Robin got home and took a quick shower to get the smell of blood off his body so Star wouldn't get sick. He got out of the shower and changed into some baggy, khaki jeans and a blue t-shirt. He looked at his watch; Quarter till eight. He grabbed his jacket, helmet, and keys and walked out the door. He jumped on his bike and was at her apartment building five minutes early.

He got off his bike and walked up to the listings and read Starfire's name. He walked in the building and got to her door. He took a deep breath and knocked.

Starfire

(This is after Starfire got off of work) Starfire got out of the shower and got redressed. She was wearing a long, pink skirt (ankle high) and a pale pink shirt. He hair was up in a ponytail with 2 pieces of hair hanging down. She walked into the kitchen and started making dinner. "MOMMY!!!!! CRIMSON PULLED MY HAIR," cried MoonFlower walking up to her mother. "Awe, come here baby," said Starfire bending down to pick her child up. "Mom! I didn't do anything to that crybaby. She just wants me in trouble," said CrimsonSun walking in. "Mommy, Crimson did pull her hair. I saw the whole thing," said SeaDiamond. "Crimson, I am in a good mood so I will let you off the hook as long as you say you're sorry," said Starfire feeling generous and happy. "Sorry MoonFlower," said CrimsonSun not wanting to get into any trouble. MoonFlower just jumped out of Star's arms and ran happily into the living room with SeaDiamond. CrimsonSun just walked into his room. Starfire went back to cooking dinner when she heard a knock. "COMING," shouted Starfire. Starfire walked up to the door and took a deep breath. She opened the door and there she saw Robin just standing there.

"Hi," said Starfire moving out of the way so he could walk in. "Hi," said Robin. "I hope you like spaghetti because I'm making that for dinner," said Starfire closing the door. "Yeah, that's fine. So, how are you," asked Robin quite nervous. "Fine thank you. Umm... you can sit down. Dinner will be ready in a second," offered Starfire. "No, its okay. Is there anything I can help you with," asked Robin trying to be polite. "No, but thanks any way," said Starfire walking back to the stove. "MOMMY! I GOT A OUCHY," cried SeaDiamond. "Oh, oh, oh, oh. What happened baby," asked Starfire. Robin just watched Star with a content smile on his face. I could get used to this living. Star is so...sweet and caring. God, why does she have to have kids? I guess I'll have to learn to accept that. She seems so...perfect thought Robin. "I stepped on my crown and now I gots a ouchy," cried SeaDiamond. "Oh, you poor baby. Let mommy get you a ouchy healer and you'll be as good as new," said Starfire getting up. "Robin, can you hold SeaDiamond while I get her a band aid," asked Starfire.

"Me," asked Robin shocked. "Who else has the name of Robin and is in this apartment," asked Starfire. "Did I mention that I don't do well with kids," asked Robin innocently. "Robin, its just for a minute. Will you please," asked Starfire. Robin sighed and stood up. "How about you tell me where the band aids are and I'll go get them," offered Robin. "Robin! Seriously, I need you to hold SeaDiamond for 2 minutes. And I don't want you looking in my place. Just please hold her," said Starfire sounding annoyed. SeaDiamond started to cry and Starfire instantly turned soft. "What is it," asked Starfire looking at her daughter. "My ouchy hurts and you are scaring me," cried SeaDiamond. Starfire sighed. "Never mind Robin, I'll get it and watch her," said Starfire disappearing down the hall. MoonFlower walked into the kitchen and looked at Robin. "You know, if you are trying to get my mommy to like you, you aren't doing such a great job. My mommy says that you would be perfect if only you liked us. Do you hate us?" asked MoonFlower in a talkative way. Robin blushed. "Its not that I hate you, its just I don't know how to act towards kids," said answered Robin. "I can teach you. Then my mommy will marry you," said MoonFlower excitedly. Robin's eyes went bug eyed as MoonFlower skipped out of the room.

Starfire returned a few minutes later with SeaDiamond who was currently staring at her "ouchy". "Robin, are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost," said Starfire. "Sorry. MoonFlower just said something," said Robin. "What did she say," asked Starfire putting SeaDiamond. "She just said that you thought I was perfect and that if I liked kids you would marry me," said Robin. Starfire blushed. "She is lying. I didn't say any of that. She is just wanting a father," said Starfire trying to cover up her blush. "I know, I was just surprised. But I do have to say you have the cutest kids," said Robin. "Thank you, but I thought you hated kids," said Starfire. Robin shook his head. "What I mean is I just don't get along with them," said Robin. "Well, you lied to me. You said you hated kids," said Starfire walking over to the stove. "Then I lied," said Robin. Starfire nodded. "KIDS ITS TIME FOR DINNER," shouted Starfire while turning off the stove. She poured the sauce on the pasta and set it on the table.

CrimsonSun raced out of his room and MoonFlower and SeaDiamond skipped into the kitchen. The kids took their seats and Starfire served them. "I think you are a big boy. Can you serve yourself," asked Starfire to Robin. "I think I can," said Robin. Starfire giggled. Robin served himself and then they ate in silence except for a few slurping noises. "Mommy, we're done, can we go play video games," asked CrimsonSun. "Yes, but only for a half and hour. Then its bed time," said Starfire. The three kids scurried off to the living room and glued their eyes to the screen. "Robin, can you hand me your plate," asked Starfire starting to clear the table. "Let me help," said Robin getting up and grabbing a few plates off the table. "Thanks, but you don't have to. I can handle it," said Starfire walking over to the sink and turned on the water. "But I want to," said Robin walking over to the sink as well. "Thanks. I appreciate it," said Starfire starting to clean the dishes. A few minutes later they finished the dishes and Star turned off the water. "All done. Now what do you want to do," asked Starfire throwing the towel she was using in the sink. "I don't know," said Robin. Starfire started walking to the table but slipped on a puddle of water on the floor. Robin tried to catch her but he fell in the process.

As soon as Starfire hit the floor and looked over to Robin who was next to her she started laughing. Robin looked at her in a confused fashion. Starfire just kept on laughing. She tried to stop but the more she tried the harder it was to breathe. "Starfire, what's so funny about falling," asked Robin still confused. "The..... look..... on..... your..... face," answered Starfire cracking up. Robin thought about it for a minute and cracked up as well. A few minutes later they both stopped laughing so they could breathe. "Starfire, what just happened," asked Robin getting up and helping Starfire up. "I don't know, but I couldn't help myself from laughing," answered Starfire. Robin looked at his watch. "Look its getting late. Maybe I should leave," said Robin. "Yeah, maybe you should," said Starfire. Starfire lead Robin over to the door. She knew the kids were sound asleep so she walked him out to his bike.

"I had a great time tonight," said Starfire. "Me too. I am glad I was able to see you," said Robin. Starfire blushed. "We are still on for Friday, right," asked Robin. "No, I forgot. My friend can't baby-sit and I don't think we can take them with us," said Starfire looking disappointed. "Don't worry, I will ask my friend," said Robin. "I don't know. I haven't met him," said Starfire. "Why don't you come over to my place tomorrow night and bring the kids over to. Clark is coming over so we can place some cards," said Robin. "Sure, what time and where do you live," asked Starfire. "I live in the apartment building on Maple Street and come over around 6:30. I get off early," said Robin. "Okay, I have the day off tomorrow," said Starfire. Robin walked over to Starfire and she hugged him. "Thanks again," said Starfire. "No problem. Night," said Robin. "Night," said Starfire kissing him lightly on the cheek. Robin blushed and put on his helmet. "Bye," said Starfire waving after him.

Star walked back up to her apartment and she turned off all the lights. She quickly opened the kids' room to check up on them. When she saw that they were okay she closed the door and walked into her own room. She changed her clothes and fell asleep.

Robin

Robin arrived home 10 minutes after he left. He unlocked his door and closed it. He walked over to his machine. He didn't have any messages so he walked into his room and changed into his nightclothes. He got into his clothes and fell asleep instantly.

A/N: Okay, I am sorry if it sucked. I like this plot and I am going to keep writing it. Well, I want a few reviews, but that is all I ask for. I know the people are out of character for themselves, but that is because that is how they act on the show. This is how I think they would act in reality. I know Raven seemed mean, but she brought up a good point. Well, please read and review
