Authors Note- Sorry I didn't post in a while I'm very busy, but don't worry I wont bail out on you.
There was something special about that child. Something different. Well of course! Thought Raven as she sat on her bed. The baby was in a cave all by herself. She could possibly be the reason for all the disasters.
But there was something extra that Raven felt about the child. She never really held one or been with one. She would think that one would be utterly irritating to be with. But when Altaira was around her she was as quite as a mouse and her eyes started into hers as if she was about to speak.
When Raven named her she felt as though some one put that name in her head. As if she didn't think of it herself.
"Raven! Get out of your room!" Beast Boy screamed from outside her door.
"What is it?" Raven asked wryly as she rose from her bed and walked toward the door.
"Were building a crib and- WHOA! She needs changing!"
"She stinks more than my Stank Ball." Cyborg said as Raven came out of her room sniffed the bad odor emitting from the small child that was in Beast Boys hands wailing.
"Please, what is this commotion all abou-" Starfire said coming into the halls whiffing the malicious aroma. Her back lowered down and her face turned as green her eyes. "oh" She muttered impolitely unlike herself.
"Star, I thought you're in middle of buildin' the crib." Cyborg said as he covered his nose from that awful cent.
"Can we change the baby before I puke?" Beast Boy cried handing the sobbing infant to Cyborg.
"I'm not changin' the kid!" Cyborg said backing away from the child.
Raven's face went pink. She knew it would land to her. Hopefully it wouldn't be so bad. Why did I have to find her in the first place?
"I will gladly accept the role of the baby changing!" Starfire said gleefully. Raven looked up in surprise. She had no clue what she was getting herself into.
"Um, do we have diapers?" Raven asked dryly. She hadn't realized that the Titans Tower never had a child in it before and it wasn't equipped with baby equipotent.
"Oh shoot! We have to go shopping for baby stuff!" Beast Boy said panting running around in circles.
"When did Beast Boy become so devoted?" Raven whispered into Cyborg's ear.
"I guess he's tryin to show you that he's responsible." Cyborg muttered back. Raven nodded and laughed to herself.
"Then what shall I baby change her into?" Starfire questioned as she picked the baby from Beast Boys frantic arms.
"Find something-" Raven said.
"Toilet paper?" Beast Boy said calmly.
"The paper of the toilet it shall be!" Starfire declared as she walked off to the bathroom with the whimpering baby.
Raven walked up to Robin's research alcove. Raven opened the door and saw him talking on the phone by a dimly lit desk.
"Uh hu- yes.- Ok. That's ok.- Don't worry. -Ok bye." Robin said hanging up the phone and putting it back onto the receiver.
"So-" Raven started.
"There have been no cases of missing or kidnapped children in the whole metropolitan area. I called fosters homes, orphanages, organizations-"
"Well- while she stays I have to go shopping." Raven shuddered.
"For what?" Robin asked getting up from his seat.
"diapers."
"Oh- Alone?"
"I guess unless some one wants to come."
"I think it's smarter for all of us to go."
"And bring the baby?"
"No- we will leave one of us to baby-sit." Robin said walking closer towards the door.
"What is this talk of sitting on babies" Starfire asked abruptly as she entered the room with Altaira in her hands. Altaira's eyes watered from tears and only whimpered a small amount. Her bottom was covered by several layers of toilet paper.
"And it's not going to be Starfire." Raven said cynically but jokingly to herself. She gave Altaira a look. She definitely wouldn't want to hold her now. She realized that she smelled some what like an exotic fruit.
Robin smiled as he looked at the two girls. "Raven, maybe you can baby-sit?" Robin asked.
"No." Raven said quickly before any discussion came up about it.
"We'll ask Cyborg if he wants to-" Robin said leaving the room. The girls followed and found them in one of the extra bedrooms finishing the crib. The room was fairly small and was painted a light tinge of green which was an annoyance to the eye.
"Ok we have to buy supplies. Cyborg can you baby-sit?"
"I can!" Beast Boy screamed hastily.
"Um- what do I have to do?" Cyborg asked gradually.
"Please what is this sitting on babies? It is a horrible thing to do-yes?"
"I can!"
"Just care for her, feed her, etc." Robin explained as Starfire handed the baby to Cyborg.
"I don't know- Do I have too?"
"I can!" Beast Boy shouted. Raven laughed. Like Beast Boy could baby-sit!
"Well then- Raven-"
"No." She repeated. Even though she felt as the baby was different in a way she wasn't so interested to figure it out.
"I can! Please!" Beast Boy said kneeling be Robins side.
"Fine, Beast Boy." Robin said sympathetically looking down and him.
Ravens jaw dropped. Well it's funny to see what happens.
"Whoo hoo!" Beast Boy cried in joy.
Hopefully he won't screw anything up. Raven thought. But when did he ever not screw anything up. He might kill the infant for goodness sakes! Well I must give him a chance I guess.
"Don't leave" An echoed thought filled her head. Again it happened! As if someone put it in her mind, like telepathy.
