Chapter 7

Raven had never felt as afraid as she was then. She lay there in Beast Boy's arms in intense pain.

"Beast Boy," she said weakly. "I'm scared."

Beast Boy lost a couple of tears. He was afraid more for Raven than the life of his child, knowing he could always have another child, but could never find another Raven.

"I know," he choked out. "I am too."

"Just hang on." Robin whispered, biting his lip. The guys were more scared than anything. Raven looked as if she was not going to make it, but was willing to hang on. She was stronger than that, just going to loosen her grip and let herself die.

Beast Boy's mind was playing the scene over and over again. Raven, running to save herself from her fears, and trips, hitting the metal floor with a loud crash. She hit her head pretty hard and he stomach even more. The baby. Beast Boy wished he could see inside her and know what was happening to his child.

Starfire ran in. The medical personnel were not following.

"Starfire?" Robin asked. "Why aren't you in the other room?"

"The medical assistance needed to fly to the top of our Tower to get to Raven." Starfire answered.

"Raven?" Beast Boy asked as she loosed her grip. She groaned as the pain became more intense. But she stopped and looked at him. They stared into each other's eyes before two men had arrived.

"You'll be okay. I promise." Beast Boy said to Raven as the men put her onto a stretcher. He did not let go of her hand until the loaded her into the helicopter to fly her to a hospital. He got in with her and the men shut the doors.

The rest of the Titans waited until it was overhead before getting into the T-Car to follow them.

Inside the helicopter, the men were constantly checking to make sure she was breathing and asking a bunch of questions. But they had gotten into the hospital, where Beast Boy grasped Raven's hand yet again. He saw the Titans and they all followed behind.

The doctor in the maternity ward saw Raven and quickly began to ask questions. Beast Boy was just trying to keep up with him.

"We will be taking her in for an emergency C-Section, which just might save the baby." The doctor informed Beast Boy. "But you must wait out here."

Beast Boy was not in the mood to protest to he went out to the other Titans, who all had worried looks on their faces, Beast Boy not coming out with Raven.

"They have to do and emergency surgery." Beast Boy told them. They all gasped in shock.

"Will it save the child?" asked Starfire. She was on the verge of tears.

"We don't know." Beast Boy answered, sitting down on the couch. "But more importantly, will Raven be okay." The Titans could not say anything. No one had the nerve to.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The Titans could not stand the wait that they had to endure. They could not do anything for Beast Boy, no matter how beat up he looked. He was just sitting there in a trance-like state, waiting for someone to come out to say that Raven was all right. But then he remembered the talk that they were going to have with the Titans after their date.

"Uh, guys." Beast Boy said, breaking the silence. "I have to tell you guys something."

"What's it about, BB" asked Cyborg.

"It was about Raven." He began as the others crowed around him. "Well, a while after Raven found out about the baby, she was having these nightmares that we thought might have been visions."

His eye widened in realization that what had just happened was familiar with one of her nightmares. But he continued. "The first one was what had just happened. She ran down the stairs and tripped, but she and the baby were killed."

"You don't think?" Cyborg said, turning his attention from Beast Boy to Robin.

"I hope not." Robin whispered.

"You will not have to wait long." Starfire pointed out. "Here comes a person now."

The doctor who had asked Beast Boy everything came over to him. He had his head up. That was something Beast Boy was hoping for.

"Is Raven okay?" asked Beast Boy shooting up and clinging to the doctor's shirt.

"She is all right." He replied, shooing Beast Boy off him. The Titans were all so happy. But Beast Boy broke it away for a second.

"Guys, there is nothing to celebrate yet." He said. "Is the baby ok?" He bit his lip, preparing himself for when the doctor said no.

"The baby is alive, but is breathing shallow." He told them. "We will take it in and see if we can get it to breath the way it is needed. Raven will be taken into a room in a few minutes."

The Titans stared at Beast Boy. He smiled. "'Kay. Now we can celebrate." Beast Boy sat for a second though to think. They stopped celebrating to ask Beast Boy.

"You all right, Beast Boy?" asked Robin. They all sat down.

"I'm so happy now, I don't know what to think." He sighed.

"You're a dad now." Cyborg smiled and slapped him on the back, causing Beast Boy to go flying across the coffee table.

"Not exactly." He broke the joy in the room. "If the baby is breathing shallow, then it may not breathe at all." They stayed silent until Raven was taken out of the ER to a new room. They decided not to disturb her until she was settled in, so they stayed out of the way.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Beast Boy went to the nurse at the reception desk.

"Could you tell me where Raven of the Teen Titans is?" he asked.

"Room 690, Level 5, to the right, down the hall, tenth door on the left." She said, not looking up from her magazine.

The Titans got to her room quickly, and knocked. There was no reply, but they went in anyway. Raven was sitting in a bed, picking at her hospital bracelet. She looked up as Beast Boy ran over and hugged her.

"Raven, how do you feel?" he asked. She kissed him lightly.

"Sick, tired, like I'm going to float out of this bed." She said holding onto his hand. "Please tell me that the baby will be ok."

"When I asked the doctor, he said the baby was alive, but breathing shallow." He frowned. She said nothing else.

"Do you want us to go and see if the baby is ok?" asked Robin.

"Oh, please!" she said, squeezing Beast Boy's hand. The others left, leaving them to talk.

"Did you get a glimpse of our baby?" asked Beast Boy.

"I was unconscious, so I didn't see anything." She said, her voice becoming monotone again.

"I just want to see our child." Beast Boy frowned. He dropped her hand and sat back in a chair. Raven had never seen him like this. He was in pain. Not physical that she could fix, but emotional, that she had never had. Not until this moment anyway.

Starfire burst through the door and over to the couple. She was smiling, another good sign. The two looked up and crossed their fingers for all the luck in the world.

"The people of medical assistance say that the child will be fine for now." She informed them. They let go of their breath, and hugged each other.

"Can we see it?" asked Raven, not letting go of Beast Boy.

"Of course. But you must go down to the nursery." She said. Raven got out of the bed and put on her robe. The two followed Starfire to the nursery where a nurse led them in. She took them to an incubator, where a tiny baby was hooked to wires and machinery.

It had a folder hooked onto the machine and they quickly took it off and read it.

"We have a baby girl!" whispered Raven and kissed Beast Boy. They read through the rest of the report and quickly put it back.

They studied their child. She was green like her father with little spirals of dark green hair, popping out of her head. She had large purple eyes like her mother and a tiny chakra on her forehead. The nurse came over to them.

"The baby will be on the incubator for a while." She said.

"How long?" Beast Boy asked, putting his arm around Raven.

"A week or two." She answered. The couple's eyes widened. "Don't worry. If everything is ok, she can go home with you as soon as she is let off it."

The couple left and went to the other Titans.

"So what's up?" asked Cyborg.

"We found out that the baby is a girl." Raven said. "And that she will not be able to leave the hospital for around one to two weeks."

They all went back to Raven's room where she sat down. She could not stand the thought of having her new daughter having to be hooked up to machines the first few weeks of her life.

"You know, Rae." Beast Boy pierced her thoughts. "We should think about names for her."

"Well, what do you have in mind?" she asked.

The Titans went into deep thought. What would be the best name for the first child in the Teen Titans? Beast Boy was the first to speak.

"How about we name her after Terra?" he suggested. He looked at Raven and noticed a ticked off look on her face. "Never mind."

"I know the perfect name." Raven began. They all looked at her. "Jade."

"Why Jade?" asked Robin. Raven smiled.

"Well, she looked like Beast Boy and she had some jade green hair." She said simply.

"All right then. Jade." Beast Boy said, trying the new word on his tongue for the first time.

So the baby is alive. Hallelujah! R&R. Tell me, should the baby live or not. I'll be waiting!
