Chapter 9

Raven held Jade in her arms. It was the day that they finally could go home. Beast Boy was packing up their things, while the others were fixing up the T-Car, so that Jade would be comfortable.

Raven looked down at her baby, who snored softly in her arms. She could not believe that she actually had a baby and she was a mom, and she was responsible for the life of this little wonder that she beheld so closely. She was on the verge of tears, but wiped them away quickly.

"You ready to go home?" Raven asked Beast Boy. He stood up, with their stuff in his arms.

"Yeah." He smiled. They headed towards the door, taking a final look at the room.

They walked out to the parking lot, where the others were waiting. Cyborg was in the driver's seat, and Robin in the passengers. Starfire was outside. She gave them a warm smile and called them over.

"Friends, you may ride in the T-Car, and I will fly home." She smiled and took the baby in her arms. She gently placed Jade in her seat and latched together the buckle.

"Thanks, Star." Beast Boy said.

She gave him a hug and then Raven, who hugged back. Raven smiled down at her baby, and teleported herself to the seat next to Jade. Beast Boy climbed in beside her and kissed her lightly on the cheek. She didn't even notice though, for she was too caught up and watching her baby like a hawk.

She scanned her daughter over. She looked more like her father as she slept. Her little fist was clutching Raven's finger and stirred. Raven could not believe how small she was. She was premature, but she felt a lot bigger and heavier inside of her.

"Raven?" Beast Boy asked. "You have been awfully quiet since we left. You okay?"

"I just want my baby to be safe." She replied. "I don't want to lose her like we almost did."

Beast Boy sighed. She was being a bit overprotective of Jade. She has healing powers like her mom too, so what did she have to worry about?

The car stopped in front of Titans Tower, where Raven fiddled with the car seat. Her hands shook as she unlatched it and took Jade into her arms. She stepped out of the car and up to the door of the tower. Raven walked to the main room and passed by it without the slightest stare.

Beast Boy could not keep up with her pace as he tried to carry every last bag into his arms. Before he knew it, he was on the ground, on his back, trying to get up.

"Do you want some help?" asked Cyborg, picking his friend up, off the ground.

"Could you?" Beast Boy asked pointing to the pile of bags. Cyborg nodded and heaved them into his arms.

Raven was sitting quietly in her room, rocking the small bassinet that Starfire got them, back and forward. Cyborg bashed through the door and dropped the bags onto the ground, waking the baby. Jade began to cry, making Raven give the hybrid a nasty glare.

"Look what you've done!" she cried. Before she had the chance to chant her spell, and small black light rose from Jade's chakra. It swam over to Cyborg and began to grow over him. He started to panic as he rose a few feet from the ground and began to hit the wall.

Raven stared in shock as the banging became more constant. As Jade cried harder, the banging became slamming against the ceiling and floor. She placed a hand over Jade's chakra and cut off the energy. Cyborg fell hard to the floor and stared at them from the floor.

"Are you ok?" Raven asked, placing Jade in the bassinet and running over to her friend.

"Just fine." He said, sarcastically.

"Do you want help?" she tried to help him up.

"No the floor is just fine." He repeated his sarcasm.

She sighed, and helped him off the ground.

"She is too powerful, even for a baby." He said.

"I know," she sighed. "But she is just a baby. She has no control. I didn't have control when I was little."

"She gets more powerful as she cries, and when that happens, she goes after the person she is angry at."

"So I have noticed." She scoffed.

"I guess as long as she is not upset with one of us, she will have her powers in check." He smiled. He left quickly, not turning his back to them.
