Review Replies:

Erika: They are ¼ demon, since Raven is ½, and Robin is full human. No, they don't have the gems.

KnightingGale: I loved your review. It made me smile. Thank you and everyone for the compliments

Febreese: They are identical in a sense. Most people think identical twins can sense things with eachother. I should know, my mom is an identical twin...hehehe… They look similar though. If you want a more accurate description, there's one in one of the earlier chapters.

Everyone Who Wanted Me To Update: Well, as you can see, I updated…hehehehehe

K.C. Whitestar: HAHAHAHHA…I love that. Inuyasha's necklace is awesome. My fav episode of all time is when Kagome gets all pissed and tells Inuyasha to sit live fifty times when he has the bolder in his hands above his head. It's HILARIOUS…so yeah…heh…

twobirdslover: It's okay if your review sucked. I'm just glad you like Mirror. Honestly, I wouldn't get mad if I got yelled at by someone who hated the story, but surprisingly, the only story I've ever been yelled about are my Hellsing because in my opinion, the annoying freaks who can't read, think I was completely off character, when I stated several times that things were different…so yeah…the only time I get mad is when people don't read and then yell about something that's there in black and white…heh…just crazy rambling's…


Chapter 10: New Beginnings

Raven watched nervously for any sign that AfterShock was there, but he wasn't. They were nearly an hour early, and Raven's nerves were completely on edge as she listened for every tiny sound. All she wanted was to see her children.

Glancing over at the pacing dark haired girl, Robin sighed. He knew how she felt, although he was keeping it inside. His gaze constantly flickered over to the path that led into the clearing. They had been there for a half an hour, and were still yet a half an hour early. He hoped AfterShock would show his ugly face soon. StarFire had not returned after her tantrum, and none of the Titans really cared at the moment. She knew where to find them and where they were staying. They figured she'd come back in her own time.

Terra watched Raven pace and look up constantly. She felt awful that there was nothing she could do to help ease her friends' worries. The blonde cast a glance at the quiet BeastBoy. For once, he had nothing to say. Cyborg on the other hand had his eyes fixed to his arm clock. Terra knew that they were all on edge and nervous, wondering if Ren and Jay really would be returned to them.

At that thought, AfterShock appeared. Ren and Jay were walking slowly behind him, an odd bracelet on each of their wrists. Raven made to attack AfterShock, but the villain shook his head as he pulled out a remote.

"I wouldn't do that unless you want them in pain." His grin widened when Raven, her anger blazing, went to stand next to Robin who squeezed her hand in assurance.

"We got want you want, now release them." Robin's voice sounded strange to him. His voice was calm, yet his entire body was nervous and jumpy.

"Oh goody." AfterShock acted as if he was a child at Christmas time.

"Here." Robin said placing the large rectangular box on the ground, keeping his eyes on AfterShock.

"Oh thank you very much. And for my part of the bargain…" He said as he pressed a button on the remote, and the bracelets snapped open and fell off. Both children looked momentarily at the bracelets on the ground, and then raced past AfterShock to jump into Raven's outstretched arms as she held them tight.

Robin sighed in relief, not knowing he had been holding his breath.

"I want you to leave and never bother us again." Robin said glaring at AfterShock.

"Now why would I do that?" AfterShock asked innocently as he picked up the telescope.

"Because." Robin began, but Raven cut in, "I will kill you." Her voice was deadly quiet, and her gaze had turned from loving and happy as she gazed at her children, to angry and dark as she gazed at AfterShock.

"Oh." Came his weak reply before he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"That was interesting." Robin replied quietly as he turned to face Raven and his children.

Raven looked calmer again, and her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she continued to hug her children.

"Did he hurt you?" Raven asked as she held her children out infront of her two look them up and down.

"No mommy." Ren spoke up, her eyes innocently gazing at Raven.

"He was weird though." Jay spoke up as he looked at Robin and then at Raven.

Raven sighed in a great relief. "Jay, Ren, I've never properly introduced you to your father." Raven said looking up at Robin who smiled gently at her.

Ren and Jay looked at Robin with solemn eyes, watching him as he knelt down infront of them.

"Daddy!" They shouted simultaneously as they leaped into his arms.

Robin was taken aback as he nearly fell over at their sudden weight. Grinning happily, he hugged them tightly, his eyes flickering to Raven who was trying hard not to cry, but failed as a single tear slipped down her face.

"Alright kids. Don't strangle your dad. It's time we introduced you to your mommy's friends." Terra said walking over and helping pull the twins off of Robin.

As Terra took Ren and Jay to meet Cyborg and BeastBoy, Raven stood and walked to the edge of the clearing, trying furiously to keep the tears from falling. Robin stood and followed her, his eyes soft as he came up behind her, and turned her around to face him.

Raven looked up at him, her eyes still hiding the tears she wanted to shed. "I…I…" She tried to speak but could not.

"Shhh." Robin said smiling, "It's okay now. They are both safe, and nothing's going to ever happen to them again." He said as he gave her a soft and gentle kiss on the lips that left her looking at him, confusion in her eyes.

"I'm so confused though." She whispered as she buried her head in his chest as he held her.

"It will be all right. I promise." He whispered as he held her until she fell asleep. Lifting her bridal smile, he walked over to the others who were ready to leave.

"What's wrong with mommy!" Ren and Jay asked, both of them obviously scared for her.

"She fine." Robin said smiling, "Just tired. We should let her get some rest. We can go home now, and we'll all talk in the morning." He directed this last part to Cy, Terra, and BeastBoy. They nodded knowing what he meant, and they all got into the limousine waiting for them outside the park, Raven snuggling in close to Robin.


Raven woke early the next morning to find herself on a soft bed. Her bed. Forgetting how she got there, she shot up and jumped from the bed and rushed out of her room, an odd scene greeting her as she looking into the living room and kitchen.

Terra was making breakfast with BeastBoy, who kept insisting they use tofu. Cyborg was fixing the TV, and Robin was sitting on the ground playing with Ren and Jay, both children smiling widely.

Raven just stood there for a few moments as the previous nights activities flooded her mind. Robin saw her and smiled.

"Good morning." He said as Ren and Jay raced over to her to give her hugs.

"It's nearly noon." Cyborg corrected from his place by the TV.

"So what?" Robin said laughing as both children raced back to continue playing. "Feeling better?" He asked standing and walking over to her.

"Yeah." She said with a yawn. "What time is it?" she said making her way to the couch and plopped herself down.

"Eleven." Robin said following her. He seemed nervous, and Raven raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" She asked seeing his nervousness.

"I need you to see something." He said casting a glance at Cyborg's chuckling back, and the quickly glancing away Terra and BeastBoy.

"Sure…" Raven said hesitantly as she stood and let him lead her near the window that looked out over the bay near her home.

"Beautiful isn't it?" She asked looking out the window.

"Like you." Robin replied, his nervousness slowly dying away.

Raven blushed and hid a smile. What he did next shocked her beyond all words.

Robin bent down on one knee, and Raven could feel the eyes of everyone on her back, even Ren and Jay's.

Robin pulled a small black box from his pocket and offered it to her as he opened it, and Raven's heart stopped.

"Will you marry me?" Robin asked, as the simple diamond ring glistened in the sunlight reflected off of the bay.

Raven's eyes widened, and she could say nothing for a few moments. She looked up hesitantly from him to see Terra, Cy, and BeastBoy all grinning at her, while Ren and Jay smiled happily and nodded their heads vigorously.

Looking back at Robin, her eyes tried to gaze into his, but his were masked. Noting her small frown, Robin smiled and pulled his mask off. Two brilliant blue eyes met her violet ones. She had longed to see the eyes she had seen only once before. She saw the love in his gaze, and with a small nod of her head, she muttered the one word both would always remember.

"Yes." She whispered as he grabbed her and swung her around, a smile on both of their faces.


So…how did everyone like the ending? I wasn't going to have him propose, but you really can't have a good family without a proposal now can you? I'm so cheesy...hehehehe….anyways, if you're reading this, I have a question for all of you…


I have already started a new Witch Hunter Robin fic. My first. I want to know what type of story I should do next. Please review with your answer:

1)A sequel to Mood Swings – already have an idea

2)Another TT fic – no idea yet

3)A Samurai Deeper Kyo fic – no idea yet

4)Rurouni Kenshin fic – already have an idea

5)Hellsing fic – no idea yet

6)Gundam Seed fic – starting a plot in my weird little head

7)DNAngel fic – Definitely have an idea (most likely will do anyways, since there's no enough Dark/Riku fics)

8)Inuyasha fic – no idea yet

9)Witch Hunter Robin fic – just started a fic, first chapter up. No other idea…

10)Cowboy Bebop – already have an idea

11)Other (This applies to other animes I have listed in my profile)


I hope you will all review and vote. I'm sorry I didn't do my short little dialogue with the characters this time, but I figure my mushy ending makes up for it

Anyways, please vote. As I said, I will probably do a DNAngel fic no matter what because there are simply not enough Riku/Dark fics, let alone active and updated ones…then again, I shouldn't be talking, but if you don't already know, I'm adding three new chapters to all of my stories for my b-day which is the 29. So, I'll be adding them in like two weeks… my b-day, your presents…hope you enjoyed

Plotting evil deeds,
