A/N: Hello again, this is the revised version of Chapter 13. You see someone pointed out that Zoe who is four years old should never be left alone in the bathroom while bathing. This is true and i agree. However i did not intentionally write that. I wrote something else to that and i most have forgotten to save it or what not. I apologize because it is true that children should be supervised all the time. However, that was no reason for you to be alarmed. this is a fic and sometimes we tend to forget that this is just pretend. If you feel that this is reason enough for my fic to get deleted then go ahead and report me, because i honestly don't want to waste my time or yours if you feel that my story is not adequate enough. THIS is not for those who like this story, this is for that person who pointed it out. I thank you for that, but i don't see how this story should be deleted because of that detail. I'm not concern with you not reading the rest of the story, it is your choice whether you want to read it or not, but don't presume to think that i don't know about child safety. I'm well aware of the dangers children of all ages are always facing. I myself have a nephew and a niece on the way, thus implying that i should have some common sense when it comes to child wellfare...With that said, thanks for pointing it out, but i don't see why my story should be deleted because of that. Do the rest of you wish for it to be taken down? Because i'll that myself instead of waiting for to do it for me.
Who ever said that pregnancy was one of the most wonderful experiences a woman or a couple could go through, was seriously drugged or fucked in the head. Raven wore a scowled on her pretty face and her moods were getting worse.
The young mother to be sat in her office going over the budget for the next publishing debut party for the ever popular Socialite books. It seemed that more and more people wanted to get more books out of the woman and her team. She was exhausted and tired. Carrying a child was no easy task, but carrying two was even worse.
By no means did she regret being pregnant. Oh no, this was what she and Richard had been looking forward to. Zoe as well was over joyed with the news of being a big sister, even more overjoyed knowing that it was two her mommy was going to carry.
Robin watched amused as Raven's brows raised higher and higher the more she read the budget. It was no surprise to him when his lovely wife crumbled them up and threw them in the bin. He laughed and she turned those pretty lavender eyes on him and he stopped "Hi"
She growled at him "fuck off"
"What's the matter?"
"You are not making me throw this stupid party ever again. I hate that I'm stuck with it and you are just going to sit around doing nothing. What happened to helping your soul mate especially since she's carrying your children?"
Robin shook his head and walked into the room "I'm sorry honey. I just had a very busy day with my father and I would have come sooner honest, but..."
"Shut up Robin. All I want right now is to go home and sleep. I'm too tired to be here"
He rolled his eyes "this wouldn't have happened if you would just stay home with nana and zoe. I can manage this company well enough"
She stood up as best she could "right. Make me out to be the invalid wife that you want me to be"
"Here we go again" he muttered.
"Yes here we go again Mister. I don't want to be useless or feel as such. Understand?"
"Then why complain to me about your displeasure? It seems that you don't want to listen to me. I know that you are a very self sufficient kind of woman Raven, that's what I love about you, but you are in a very delicate condition my love. I just want to be able to help you and our babies stay healthy. Now why don't we head home?"
Raven sighed and walked over to him closing the gap between them. She put a hand to her back, the added weight of pregnancy making it painfully hard to walk. She more like waddled than anything else. Robin felt extremely worried and sorry for his wife, but they knew she was being stubborn by coming to the office almost every day.
Their marriage had been just a month after Kori's and then the adoption of Zoe two months after that, Raven was almost seven months and she knew that she had to stay home sooner or later in case that she went to an early labor.
Robin took her hand once she was near him and kissed her lips sensually. That was one thing he loved about her pregnancy, she was more aroused and he was too. They had times when neither left the bedroom because they were busy having incredible sex "how are you feeling today?"
Raven put a hand to her swell "just peachy" she replied tiredly. Of course she wanted to tell him off to hell and back for impregnating her with two babies at the same time, but she loved him and those babies. Just not the constant kicking.
He chuckled and also placed a hand to her stomach "how many kicks have you felt today?"
She grinded her teeth. Leave it to him to know more about babies than her, even though she had a child previously "a lot". But who could blame him? He was after all going to be a real father, not just Zoe's step dad, but they were going to have their own children. He had become a perfect doctor making sure her daily vitamins were taken and how many kicks the babies gave were normal.
Robin smiled as he felt one of the children kick trying to tell him that Raven was indeed right "that was a good one. Do you want to go eat something or go straight home?"
She looked into his eyes and smiled "I want to go out. We haven't been out in a long time" he nodded.
"Want to go shopping?"
She groaned again "you sound more like a woman than I do. You know how I despise that very activity"
Robin smirked "now, now. No need to get all pissy at me for trying to relax you. I know you hate shopping, but you love shopping for the babies and Zoe. I was thinking of going to a baby store"
"alright"
They walked into a cute baby store called Stork. They looked around at all of the baby things that were very popular. Raven and Robin wore sun glasses and hats not wanting people knowing it was them. It had been very skillful the way his parents and her father arranged for their marriage to be kept a secret and it had actually worked. Now it was up to them to keep the fact that they were going to be parent a secret as well. But when you are famous and very known, that is something nearly impossible to do.
"Honey look at these cribs" Raven turned to robin and she came face to face with two baby blue cribs.
"Those are cute. What if one of them is a girl though?"
Robin shrugged "hey, a girl can like blue too"
"True. Do you want to get those two?"
"Well, they are very nice and we should have bought them a while back. Sure why not?"
Raven called over a young woman not realizing who it was. "Well well well, if it isn't Raven Roth" the woman spat. Both raven and robin looked at the woman.
"Amber?"
"Why, Mr. Wayne you recognized me. That means a lot to me" she however narrowed her eyes at Raven who also narrowed her own eyes. Amber's eyes then strayed down Raven's form and her eyes widened "you two are having a baby?"
Robin smirked and put his arms around Raven "why yes. My lovely Raven and I are going to have twins in a couple of months." the young woman almost chocked.
Raven enjoyed seeing the envy and jealousy in Amber's eyes. She never had a chance with Robin, there was no way in hell raven was going to let anyone take her soul mate "yes twins. Robin baby I think I want to end this shopping spree here. Ms. Dell if you would please take our order then we will be on our way" Amber smiled stiffly and then processed their order, but not before talking to her boss.
That said young woman went over to his boss "Mr. Welchi...you see that woman there, that's Raven Roth, you know that famous CEO" the man put his glasses on and looked at the young woman up and down "and that man is Richard Wayne. You know they were on the news a while back, they said they were engaged. These two obviously are going to be parents and you know what that means?"
The old man cleared his throat "what?"
"There hasn't been any news about them for almost eight months and I'm sure the media would love to know that they are going to be parents" the old man shook his head. That young man was always nosy "and your store could get the publicity it needs" the old man smiled and hurried to his phone. Amber grinned, she knew how much those two hated media publicity, but her score was yet to be settled.
Raven tapped her foot irritably. She could not for the life of her figure out what was taking so long. All that woman needed was to swipe the credit card and then she would sign. Robin was too busy looking at different baby outfits which consisted of his favorite baseball team and showing them to raven. She would of course sneer in disgust and he would hang his head.
Enough was enough. Raven walked up to the cashier's desk and demanded to know what was taking so long "I'm sorry miss roth, but our machines are a bit slow"
Raven smirked "yes, just like the help here" Amber chuckled lightly even though she wanted to strangle raven for that comment "look we have to head home, how long will it take?"
"Just a few more minutes" so raven took in a deep breath and tried to relax. She walked over to Robin and hugged him making sure Amber got the picture "bitch"
Robin looked down at his wife "what is it?"
"These people are just taking too long. I'm hungry" he rubbed her shoulders and Raven began to relax "thanks"
"Don't worry. I'm sure it will be soon, then we can go and get you whatever you want to eat"
There was a commotion outside the store and the people inside were wondering what it was. Raven for her part found rocking chair and took advantage of it. Robin walked over to the door just as the owner and Amber got there and his eyes widened "oh shit" was the only thing he muttered.
"Well, it seems that you have a fan club Mr. Wayne" he turned to the woman who was smiling.
"It was you, wasn't it?" she shrugged
"I have no idea what you are talking about. Besides I was at the desk waiting for the credit card machine to work. You of all people never saw me pick a phone up" the media was scrambling trying to get near the shop and people outside were trying to see what they were looking for.
Robin turned to the owner "is there a back way out of this store?"
"I'm sorry sir, there is no back way" some people left the store and they were suddenly asked questions.
Raven was rocking back and forth with her eyes closed "Raven" she opened her eyes to look at her husband "we have to get out of here before something happens"
"What?"
"The media is outside this store. We have to get out" those people that were still left in the store didn't dare go out. Those people out there looked vicious.
Amber laughed as the couple that had left just a minute or so were being asked questions after questions. Too bad, if only that was Raven and Robin. That would be better. So she looked back into the store to see Robin helping Raven up and she became angry.
Why did she have to be the one to end up with Robin or better yet Richard Wayne? One of the wealthiest men alive. Why is she the one he loves? Why is she the one that is glowing with pregnancy and happiness? Why, why couldn't it be her, why did it have to be Raven Roth? She already was famous and had money, so why couldn't raven leave Robin to her? She fisted her hands and opened the door.
She walked up to the media "the people you are looking for are inside that store" without a second thought all of the paparazzi went into the store alarming everyone inside. Robin put a hand to his face in aggravation and the other he kept on Raven who was trying to keep calm. Any minute now she was going to explode.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne what is your business here in this store?" one of the reporters asked. The others laughed thinking that the question was self explanatory. A woman looked at Raven "Miss Roth is it a surprise to learn that you and Mr. Wayne have yet to be married, but already are going to be parents. Is your father happy knowing that you are having a child out of wedlock?"
Raven fisted her hands and spoke through clenched teeth "That is none of your business"
The woman raised an eyebrow "But miss roth, you pride yourself in being perfect. Always doing what's right, never letting dirty clothes hang out for the world to see. Now we find you in a baby store with you very pregnant and with the man that was claimed to be your fiancé. What are we supposed to conclude from this Miss Roth?"
Robin put a hand to Raven and she looked back at him "don't worry I'll handle this honey" he sat her on the rocker once more and then went over to the reporter "Miss Roth is not Miss Roth. She is Raven Wayne, we are married and yes we are going to have a child, well twins actually. But raven and I have been parents for far longer. We have a daughter named Zoe who is four years old and if there is anything else that you wish to learn about us, I'll be happy to tell you. There is no need for us to hide anymore"
Amber was seething. That was not going to so easy. She cleared her throat and was soon side by side with Robin "oh, but robin isn't Zoe your step daughter? Last I remember Zoe was the daughter or Miss roth and another man" Robin wanted to kill the woman for putting her two cents in the whole ordeal. Raven had enough of this. She stood up.
"What does that mean Mr. Wayne? Miss roth had a child with another man and you are now taking that place as the child's father?"
Robin didn't know what to say but the truth "yes Raven had a child with a previous man. They are no longer together. And zoe is my daughter wether biologically or not. She knows me as her father and that's all that counts"
Amber laughed "of course she sees you as a father. She never knew who her father was because Miss Roth didn't have the balls to tell her. That child will grow up confused and this..." she never finished her sentence because Raven had punched the shit out of her.
The people around them were stunned in silence watching as Raven took in deep breaths and her fists kept clenching "you bitch. I will not allow you to slander me anymore. I never did anything to you. Just because my husband chose to ignored you because of your slutty ways, you think you could say whatever you want? Don't forget Miss Dell you are still bound by a law suit and you know what, I will see that you don't work anywhere in this city ever again. And that's Mrs. Wayne to you" some of the people that were still left in the store clapped as Raven tried to calm down.
She was exhausted and this bitch had to make her day even worse. Robin smiled at his wife and took her hand "lets go home"
"Please lets" both walked out of the store with the media taking pictures of them. And some of Amber as she was still holding her face in her hands because of the pain.
Once they were home raven went straight to bed and Robin stayed with Zoe "daddy can I have the babies already?"
Robin chuckled as he stripped the child "soon honey. Now get in the bath tub. I'll come and check on you in a minute" she nodded happily as he walked out of the bathroom to check on Raven. Nana came up and Robin stopped before entering the room "Nana could you please look after Zoe for us?"
The old woman smiled gently at the young man she loves like a son "of course dear. Go on and tell raven to take it easy for us"
He nodded "I'll make sure she is relax" with that both turned to their destinations.
She was counting the kicks again when Robin walked in. He sat on the edge of the bed "that was some punch" Raven laughed and he laid his head on her swell "how is going in there you two?"
He was responded with a swift kick which made Raven take in a deep breath "they haven't stopped since we got here. Where is zoe?"
"She's taking a bath right now. So you know what the means?" he asked suggestively. Raven smirked and walked over to the door of their room and closed it. If anything nana was near by anyways and could look after Zoe. Right now Raven was in the mood as so was her dear husband.
She put a hand to her shirt "oh I know what that means to me, what does it mean to you?"
Robin stood up from the bed and began to unbuttoned the shirt he wore with a naughty grin on his face "if you come here I'll show you"
She shook her head "no, you see I'm the boss and what I say goes. So when I say that you should come her, then you should come here" Robin threw his shirt on the floor and then began to work on the zipper of his pants all the while walking towards her.
Raven was already taking her pants off. She took a moment to look at herself and felt a little bit of apprehension. Does he still find me attractive? Do I look very fat? God, can I even make wild steamy sex with him as we did before I got this big? She stopped pulling her pants down and looked at him with watery eyes. Robin was confused and quickly reached her side.
"Raven what's the matter?" she bit her lower lip trying to keep from crying. How can robin find her attractive as big as she was? This always bothered her whenever they were going to have sex, but it bothered her more now because she had seen how nice Amber had looked and was sure that men were probably flocking her way. Raven felt fat and ugly and being near that woman only made her feel even uglier "sweetheart what's the matter?"
"I'm ugly and fat. How can you want to make love to me?" Robin was taken aback by that. By god's grace was the woman crazy. Of course her found her attractive, even with pregnancy. She was the most beautiful creature to ever grace his life. Robin chuckled at her and took her hand in his bringing it to the front of his pants.
"How can you think that when all I want is to make love to you. You arouse me more than words can describe" his voice dropped in huskiness and it sent shivers down her spine "I want you so badly that it hurts. My lower body is on fire" she gasped as his lips attached themselves to her neck and his hands went to work on her breasts.
He turned her around so that he could walked her back to the bed. His hands lowered to her hips to guide her "Robin"
"I never get tired of hearing that name coming out of your mouth" he said breathless...
"You will always be my robin" was her reply. And the rest as they say is history. Both lovers made love till their hearts content ignoring the world outside of their nest.
A month later...
Raven and Robin were both painting the nursery while Zoe played with the paints "this shade is nice"
"Tell me again why we are painting it cream color"
"Robin, this is a light beige color not cream. And this color is a neutral one, since we don't know what the babies are I thought it would be perfect"
Robin put some color on the ceiling "and who's fault is that for not wanting to know what sex our children are going to be?"
Raven turned to him and threw a dirty rag at his face "shut up. Besides, it's better to be surprised. It was the same case with Zoe" Zoe hearing her name looked up at her parents as they talked. She cocked her head to the side in confusion but then returned to painting hands on the wall.
Nana walked into the nursery and smiled "I got your snacks kids" Raven and Robin both stopped arguing about the sex of their babies and walked over to nana. Robin picked Zoe up in the process "and Kori is waiting in the garden with Roy"
"Thanks nana" Robin put one hand on Raven's lower back and began to guide her. It was an old habit that raven had hated at first. Thinking that he was showing his possession over her, but she sort of grew to love it a lot.
Out in the garden the trio found Roy and Kori making out. Raven giggled and Robin cleared her throat "excuse me but there are children present" he proceeded to cover Zoe's eyes with one hand and the other he put on Raven's stomach "I don't want my kids getting any ideas before they are of age" the couple laughed and Raven rolled her eyes. As if Zoe never saw them kissing like crazy high school kids.
"Oh be quiet robin, we kiss in front of Zoe all the time"
"But we don't do it like you know...like we want to...ah hell whatever" he placed Zoe down and she ran to kori.
"Auntie kori uncle roy...can we go to the zoo again?" kori kissed the child on the head and turned to roy.
"What do you think honey. It would be perfect time for you to practice"
Raven and robin looked at each other confused then back at the couple, just in time to see Roy take Zoe into his arms and tickle her "yeah it would be great practice"
"Practice for what?" inquired Robin
Kori blushed and then put a hand to her own stomach "We are going to have a baby too" both raven and robin were wide eyed.
"Wow. That's great"
"Welcome to the club Roy" both men shook hands as kori and raven began to talk about the wonders and bad things about pregnancies.
Nana came out as fast as she could with the phone in her hand. She frantically called for raven "Raven...Raven come please come take this call"
The others turned to the old woman "nana what's the matter?"
Nana panted a while and then handed the phone to Robin "I'm sorry Raven, your father he is in the hospital"
"What?"
"He's dying" and then the world went black for the young woman who was caught by both Roy and Kori.
Robin dropped the phone and gathered his wife in his arms while nana cried. Derek Trigon was in his last hours of life. Hopefully this would not hinder Raven and her family in any
way.
A/N I hope i wasn't mean to any body. i just had a rough day and i don't like people telling me that my story should be deleted. It is not the best of stories out there, but i believe that i have satisfied many and that is all i'm looking for. I want to make people happy and have them enjoy this fic. I apologize to the reviwere who left that review. I'm just not in the best of moods at the moment and i think i might have taken it out on you. However, i will not delete what i wrote in the beginning. Thank you.
