Chapter 4: Tell Me How the Story Ends

The next morning Raven walked into the living room to find a note on the table. It said that Teresa would be gone until about noon, and not to wait up for her, that she'd meet her at the mall later.

Sighing Raven made herself a cup of tea and sat down infront of her radio. She flipped through the stations trying to find her favorite. Even though it was about eight in the morning she needed to hear something, but what she did not expect was the song that began playing just as she found her favorite station. The song was called 'She Walked Away', and it almost caused Raven to burst into tears.

She couldn't take one more day

Home was more a prison now

Independence called out

She had to get it

A flight was all she needed

To give her reason

She slammed the door with no goodbye

And knew that it was time

Now she's driving too fast

She didn't care to glance behind

And through her tears she laughed

It's time to kiss the past goodbye

I'm finally on my own

Don't try to tell me no

There's so much more for me

Just watch what I will be

She walked away

Couldn't say why she was leaving

She walked away

She left all she had believed in

She walked away

Not a day goes by

For the one's she's left behind

They're always asking why

And thoughts of her consume their mind

God please let her know

The love we tried to show

We'd promise anything

If you'd just bring her home

Tell her we love her

Tell her she's wanted

One more thing God

Tell her please come home

Please come home

The choice is yours alone now

Tell me how this story ends

A tear slid down Raven's cheek and she quickly wiped it away as the song ended. She felt like she had deserted her friends, but she had no other choice, or she would have ruined their lives. Raven felt that the song really touched her own life as it was right then and there, she just didn't know how the story would end.

Deciding to pull herself together, she considered the fact that she'd need new clothes. Getting changed, she grabbed the purse that Teresa had bought her the other day and took off towards the mall, walking.

It didn't take her long to reach the mall, having taken care of a few muggers try to beat up a young woman. She didn't do too much because she wanted to keep low for awhile. At least until the other Titans decided not to look for her anymore. She missed them. Some little part of her told her she'd always miss them, but she knew she had no other choice.

Sighing, the dark haired girl began to go into a few stores, finally meeting up with Teresa not long after that.

------ ---------- ---------- --------

It had been nearly three weeks since Raven had left, and the Titans were always depressed. None of them realized how much she really impacted their lives. The one thing that kept running through all of their minds was; what were they going to do without her?

Robin had called the five remaining Titans to a meeting. He didn't know what to do. The entire team had been depressed for three weeks. Even Terra was sad, at least in his opinion.

As the five Titans gathered in the living room, they all sat on the couch, Robin standing and facing them.

"Alright, we need to decide what we're going to do about Raven." Robin stated, trying to keep this from turning into an argument like their last meeting. They hadn't faced any hard villain's recently, this being overly good because Robin doubted they would have been able to do anything anyways with the way everyone was looking at the current moment.

"What's there to decide?" Terra said in a snappy voice. "Raven is gone and she's not coming back. She doesn't want to, and she especially doesn't want us to come after her as we all know." Her eyes narrowed daringly on Robin who only glared back.

"Good Friend Raven said she didn't want us to come after her. Does this mean something of great badness has happened? Or does she not like being a fellow Titan?" Star asked a look of utter sadness on her face.

"I'm sure something just came up that she had to take care of." Cyborg said. He seemed to be the most optimistic out of all of them.

"Dude, she ditched us. Stop acting like it was just a dream. She probably hates our guts." BeastBoy said angrily.

"That's enough!" Robin growled in frustration. He wouldn't let this turn into a bickering fest.

"Let's just let her do what she wants to do!" Terra said angrily standing up. "She has rights, and they let her make her own decisions. Just let her be. If she ever wants to come back, then she'll come back. Otherwise, we'll never see her again. You miss her, we miss her, and I miss her, but that isn't going to change her mind. She's made her choice; now let's let her do what she wants. She probably left because we'd be in her way. We don't know if she'll come back, but we do know that we'll survive, just like she will, so let her be." Terra looked determined and pissed. She had come to stand infront of them, her eyes looking at everyone, daring them to say anything else.

Everyone simply nodded, knowing she was a stubborn as Raven. No wonder they had come to terms with eachother.

"Alright, we'll let her do what she wants." Robin said completely reluctant. He missed Raven, more than he'd ever admit, although he felt guilty for her leaving. Had he done something? Of course not. He hadn't done anything out of the normal. He had a feeling though that he'd see her again, someday.

------- --------- ------------ ----------

It was nearly ten weeks later after the shopping spree when Raven was scheduled to go into the doctor's office. Teresa had told her to come in around noon so that they could have lunch after words.

Raven was now 4 ½ months pregnant and she was starting to notice. She was wearing a somewhat baggy shirt and yoga pants as she sat in the taxi on her way to the doctor's office.

Raven didn't have to wait very long once she got there. Teresa smiled excitedly as she and Raven walked into a cozy room. She was going to find out if her baby was healthy so far. She was beyond nervous, being a young mother posed certain risks, but she was still just as excited.

"Alright, let's see how the baby is." Teresa said as she turned off the lights and had Raven lie down. She lifted her shirt up slightly and put a bunch of gel on her stomach and turned on her ((sorry all, I've been thinking of it all day, and now my mind is blank. I'll probably remember in an hour or so…hehe.)) machines.

Raven looked at the screen. She really didn't know what she was looking at until Teresa began to show her several things.

"Well, there's where the head is…"She moved the little stick thing around for a moment then almost gasped in surprise.

"What?" Raven asked nervously as she looked between the monitor and Teresa's surprised face.

"Well, let's just say we better go get another crib." Teresa said grinning like she herself was having a baby. "You're going to have twins."

Raven's eyes widened and she almost passed out as all she could do was stare at Teresa as if she had two heads.

"Wh...What…did you just…say?" She stuttered looking at the monitor disbelievingly.

"You're going to have two babies." Teresa said happily.

"Holy shit, how the hell did this happen? That damn bastard. When I get my hands on him…" Raven began ranting about how she was going to kill the father.

"Now, now, I've never heard you sware so much. Why don't you just be glad and excited?" Teresa suggested.

Raven sighed in exasperation. She couldn't have anyways. She had always cared for the father, but she was never going to admit it. She would have sacrificed herself to save him if ever the time came, but she prayed it never would.

"When will we know if they're boys or girls?" She asked nervously.

"We'll have you come back in another five weeks so that we can make sure everything is going alright." Teresa said smiling ecstatically.

"Alright." Raven said pushing up from the table and using a paper towel to clean the gel from her stomach.

"I can probably take the rest of the day off." Teresa offered as they exited the room. "We can go shopping. Have Visa, will buy." She joked.

"No, I'm going to go home and take a nap." Raven said quickly, getting out of the shopping spree was priority number one right now.

"Alright, I'll bring home Chinese tonight." Teresa said as the dark haired girl left the office and went back to the apartment.

----------- ---------- --------- ----------

Terra had been sitting on the roof watching the sunset when her cell phone rang. She sighed as she answered it, but was completely surprised to who it was.

"Raven?!?" She shouted into the receiver, and then quieted down, knowing how tense the Titans were recently.

"Hey, I told you I'd keep in contact." She tried joking.

"What's up? How are you? The baby?" She said throwing out a bunch of questions.

"I'm good. I just got back from a doctor's appointment. I'm good, so are the babies." She said with a sigh.

"That's good. Wait, what did you just say." Terra asked replaying the babies part over in her mind.

"I'm having twins." Raven muttered into the phone.

"You're joking right?" Terra asked in disbelief.

"Does it sound like I am?" Raven said a bit annoyed.

"Wow…." Terra said still in disbelief.

"How is everyone? I heard a song a few weeks ago, and it reminded me of you guys." Raven said, her voice faltering for a brief moment.

"We just had a meeting. I finally got everyone to get off your trail. Robin's really upset. Star thinks you hate her, as does BeastBoy and whatever you said to Cy made him way to optimistic." She muttered a bit annoyed at Cy's perky personality.

"Thanks." Raven said as she sat down on the couch and leaned on a cushion.

"So um, I have a theory, I just wanted you to confirm it." Terra said after a momentary silence.

"Yes?" Raven asked stretching while she held the phone to her ear with her shoulder.

"Who's the father?" Terra asked suddenly.

"I thought you'd have figured it out by now." Raven said dully into the mouth piece.

"No, but I have a guess." She said excitedly. "Is it Cyborg?"

"No."

"BeastBoy?"

"No."

"Robin?"

Raven remained silent. She had no wish to say it completely out loud. She couldn't admit it; she was too embarrassed about the whole thing.

"I knew it!" Terra shrieked, causing Raven to thrust the phone from her ear, and return it after she had quieted down.

"So what happened? Why did you, you know…?" Terra asked.

"He was drunk. So was I. I seem to be the only one who remembers it though." Raven replied with a heavy sigh.

"Drunk? I've never even seen you drink, let alone out fearless leader." She started laughing.

"Shut up. Robin and I went to a club and got drunk. That's all. It was an accident. He's with Star. Always has been, and always will be." Raven said a bit agitatedly. "I got to go. The doctor who I'm staying with is bringing home Chinese and she should be here any minute. I'll call you again in a few weeks when I find out if it's a boy or girl, or either." Raven said.

"Bye." Terra said.

"By…"Raven was about to finish when Terra shouted a quick 'Wait!'.

"We miss you Raven." She said quickly then hung up.

Raven stared at the beeping phone. "I miss you guy's too."
