Good News for ya all! Jade is going to live. On With The story.

Chapter 8

Raven sat alone in her room. She was, once again, thinking. Her mind was heavy with questions of her daughter's life. Would she live to see outside of the hospital? Would her mother and father at all hold her? Would she even leave the nursery alive? She had high hopes, but with each passing second, she began to lose hope that any of those questions, would be answered with a positive answer.

She closed her eyes to sleep, but could only see her baby, helpless, cold, unable to get a steady breath.

Beast Boy entered the room, hoping that she was asleep, with all that she had been through. But she lay wide-awake, toying with her hospital bracelet.

"Can't sleep?" he asked, pulling a chair over and sitting next to her.

"How did you guess?" she said, putting her hospital bracelet down long enough to pull him into a hug.

"What's up?" he asked her, pulling away from their embrace.

"I'm too worried to rest." She answered. "How is Jade looking now?"

"She is breathing a little better, but not a lot of progress has been made." He told her.

She stared at him, her eyes widened with sadness. She got off the bed and went over to the window. She sighed and tried to keep the lump in her throat from making her burst into tears. She watched the busy street below, with nothing but lower hopes then ever before.

"You know, she still has a chance." He said from his seat.

"I know." She whispered. "But back in the nursery, she just looked so…helpless. It seemed as if I could help her, but instead, chose to watch her lose more chances to live."

She walked over to the bed and sat down, and stared into his eyes. The Titans came into the room and started to speak.

"How are you two?" asked Robin.

"Fine." Said Raven, giving them a fake smile.

"How many more days do you have to stay here?" asked Cyborg.

"6 days." Raven said, touching the bandage that cover the side of her head she hit when she fell.

"It will fly by though." Beast Boy kissed her bandage.

"Well, if the child is well by then, you may leave with it in your possession." Smiled Starfire.

"I hope." Raven whispered to herself. She relaxed on her pillow and closed her eyes. Before she knew it she was asleep.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Raven awoke the next morning, her head still full of questions. She stared at her sleeping fiancée who lay over the side of the cot. She smiled and kissed him, making him stir. She got up and went to the bathroom and washed her face, taking special care not to get her bandage wet.

"I wonder how the baby is today. I hope she is ok." She thought. She finished in the bathroom and walked to her bed; where Beast Boy was awake, watching the TV. She sat on her bed without saying a word and started watching the news report.

"You ok?" Beast Boy asked her. She gave him a fake smile and took his hand.

"Everything is fine." She lied. "Why?"

"I just want to know." He frowned.

She could not take the silence and finally broke. "I am worried for the baby."

"Of course you are." He said, his voice showing less worry. "I am too."

The sat in silence for a little while before Starfire rushed through the door. She had a grin on her face.

"I have good news for you." She said happily. "Your child is alive still."

Beast Boy and Raven let go of their breaths.

"In fact," Starfire began. "The doctor says that the child is getting better fast than expected."

Raven suddenly shot up. "I think we should go see her."

She put on her robe and ran out the door, followed by Beast Boy and the other Titans. When Beast Boy caught up, Raven was staring into the window, with her hands clapped over her mouth.

Jade's hands and chakra were glowing.

"She has powers." Raven said. "She's healing herself."

"Let's go in." Beast Boy whispered. They both walked into the nursery and explained what they thought was going on, to the nurse.

"Would you like to hold her?" the nurse asked. Raven nodded and waited for the nurse to get her out. "She is premature so be careful."

She handed Jade to Raven. Raven felt a sense of happiness surge through her as she held her daughter. She noticed the tiny chakra on her baby's forehead was glowing a deep shade of red, which did not seem like a good sign. Jade then released the energy, sending a small punch-like blow to Beast Boy's forehead, knocking him back somewhat.

"She is strong." Beast Boy laughed softly. "Would you like to go?"

"Yes." She said, not looking away from her child's sleepy face. She put her back and they walked out together.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Raven and Beast Boy went back to the room, Beast Boy still rubbing his head from where Jade somewhat punched him.

"If she is that strong now, she will be invincible later." He smiled.

A knock came from the door, and the doctor came in.

"How are we doing today?" he asked and walked over to Raven.

"Aside from a few bumps, we're fine." Smiled Raven.

"I have some good news for you." He said. "The baby is going to be able to go home, tomorrow. She has made a lot of progress."

"Wonderful!" yelled Starfire who had just entered the room to hear the last sentence. The doctor left so Cyborg and Robin could come in.

"Wow." Smiled Raven. "This is happening so fast."

"I know." Said Beast Boy. "I can't wait."

Short chapter I know. I want to thank my friend The Gecko for his help.
