Chapter #2 : How To Tell Him? How To Tell Them?

Phioenix woke at 5:30 and went to see if Raven was wake. She needed to know if she should tell Cyborg alone or infront of the others or even at all.

She knocked on the door across the hall and a voice on the other side sounding fully awake said softly, "Who's there?"

Phioenix replied, "Raven it's me, Phioenix. I need to ask you something important."

Raven asked, "Is it about our secret?"

Phioenix replied with a yes and Raven opened the door. "Come in and be quiet, Kallee is still asleep and I want to keep it like that."

Phioenix nodded and asked Raven after the door was sealed shut, "When should I tell Cyborg?"

Raven sat on her bed and run a finger through her daughter's soft baby fuzz. She asked, "How do you think you should tell him?" Raven knew this was really Phioenix's choice not hers.

Phioenix frowned, "If I knew that I wouldn't be asking you now would I?"

Raven sighed and sat straight up keeping watch of both her baby and Phioenix.

She said, "Well I ran and that's not a good one. Telling him alone is good but saying you're pregant too much can get irritating. telling him infront of the others may make him upset you didn't tell him first. I guess telling him alone first then the others right after is the best choice. What do you like most?"

Phioenix thought then said, "The last one so I can get it over with as soon as possible. What do you think my sister will do?"

Raven answered, "Smile so big she'll lose her face. She doesn't care about ages much. She'll probably be so happy for you, she'll put you in one of those hugs of hers and kill the baby. You'd better tell Cyborg to stay at your side close when you tell the other titans so he can be smashed instead of you."

Phioenix showed fear on her face. Raven giggled and said, "I'm kidding. I'm sure that won't happen."

But Phioenix still looked scared. raven smiled and said softly and comfortly, "Hey, relax. It's ok, you'll be fine. And if you go to the hospital, you're probably far along enough to tell if it's a boy or a girl."

Phioenix smiled and asked, "Really Raven?"

"Yeah," Raven replied.

"Would you come with me, I just feel comfrotable with you here. Cyborg too, but will you come with us?"

Raven felt like she trusted Phioenix and she could tell her anything as well. she didn't know why or how but she just felt that way. She smiled. She felt like she had a little sister or something, she felt that Phioenix was some sort of family. She nodded.

Kallee's eyes shot opened. Raven and Phioenix just looked. Kallee didn't cry. No, she just looked around. she was only a week old but capable of crawling from birth even though she was very tiny. She could talk but she didn't much. Why she didn't cry any Raven hadn't a clue.

Both Raven and Phioenix smile as Kallee crawled over into Raven's lap. Her little tail in her own lap. Phioenix looked down at her own belly and placed her hand on it. Now also like Raven, she didn't change in appearence much. At her point now she had a belly, but it was hard to notice.

Raven looked at her and asked, "Do you even want it?"

Phioenix didn't respond. She was daydreaming.

Raven snapped her fingers and Phioenix jumped and answered, " I.....I....yes, I'm pretty sure I do. But I.. I...," she sighed and continued, "I'm just not sure. I think I want to wait til I see it, then decide. but I'm pretty sure I will."

Raven smiled, "That's good."

Phioenix left to tell Cyborg at 6:23. She knocked on his door and he, unlike Raven, answered it by opening the door.

"Oh, hey Phi. Waz up?" Cyborg asked as he let her in.

Phioenix sat on his so called bed and looked at his smile. Her expression showed one of deep thought and worry.

He closed his door and sat by her," What's wrong bay? You look like something big just happened in your life but no one else is there. I'm here for you if you need to talk to me bay, I'll always be here. No matter what."

Phioenix just huged him and cried. He held her close the whole time.

She asked through her tears, "Cyborg, you'd still love me if something happened that would change our lives completely, right?"

He kissed the top of her head and answered, "Always means always bay." He paused, then asked, "Why? What's happened? Are you ok?"

Phioenix let him go and said, "No, I'm fine, sort of. You remember that night in my room?" He nodded and smiled. She continued, "Well, I'm gonna have a baby because of it."

She looked up into his eyes as more tears poored down her beautiful face. He grabbed her and held her tight, "Shh..it's ok. I'm really happy. I just can't wait now. I didn't think I could have kids, so I always hid my longing for one. This is a miracle bay."

Phioenix asked confused, "A..a miracle? How?"

Cyborg smiled," I didn't just think I couldn't have kids, the lab that helped me told me I couldn't. That's why. Let's go tell the others."

Phioenix nodded and they went and told the team. Starfire screamed she was so happy and Robin and BeastBoy congradulated her. Raven and Cyborg talked a while before the three of them (Phioenix, Raven, and Cyborg) left for the hospital. Raven had brought Kallee because Beastboy was hard to trust with a baby yet and she couldn't part with her this soon. When they got there, Phioenix was nervous.

"Come on, it's safe. Trust me," Raven said as she climbed out the car.

Phioenix got out and went with her boyfriend and new friend . She stopped when she was close enough to smell the inside.

"That smell, I can't do it guys."
