Chapter Three:
"YOU'RE WHAT!"
A few days later, in the afternoon the phone rang. Beast Boy was just about to pick it up when an orange streak came speeding by. "Hello?" Starfire answered as the changeling was thrown back on the floor.
"Yes…
Thank you
Sure……
I promise…..
I……
No……
Ok…..
And thank you again" she said hanging up. "Who was that and why'd ya push me?" Beast Boy demanded. "I didn't er…see you there" she lied again. Beast Boy narrowed his eyes and looked at her smiling face. He walked back to his game still watching her. "Hey Star wanna-" Robin was cut off by the alien. "No thank you Robin, I need to think about something very important" she sighed walking off to visit her Gothic friend. "Ok we'll talk later then" he said confused. "Something's up with your girlfriend Robbie" Beast Boy said with his eyes glued to the TV screen. "As much as I hate to admit it you're right" Robin sighed sitting down next to him. "And I'm gonna find out what" he announced. But the changeling was so entranced in the game he didn't even hear him.
"Raven?" Starfire called. "Raven?" "What?" Raven asked in her monotone voice. "I need your help with something" Starfire asked softly so no one could hear her. "Alright as long as you don't put up a fight when you go to the hospital" Raven snickered. Starfire's eyes went wide. "Yeah I figured out your secret" Raven smiled.
"May I come in?" Starfire squeaked. Raven sighed and opened her door to let the alien pass. A few hours passed and the two girls chatted away. "Raven have you seen Star?" Robin asked from behind the door. "No" Starfire hissed. "Um…I think she went into town, she'll be back soon" Raven covered for her friend.
"Thank you" Starfire let out a sigh of relief as she heard her leader's footsteps fade away. "You know you'll have to tell him sometime" Raven reminded. "I know" Starfire whimpered. "Wait how did you know he is the…" Starfire began. "I didn't, but now I do" Raven interrupted. Starfire's eyes went wide. "But what if he rejects me?" she asked changing the subject. "He won't" Raven reassured with some compassion in her tone. Starfire smiled and gave her friend a light hug. "Thank you friend Raven I shall tell him now!" she said jumping up with courage. Raven rolled her eyes and started thinking. "This is going to be big."
Starfire flew around the tower looking for Robin. He was in the gym punching the crap out of the punching bag. "Hello boyfriend Robin I have something very uh…important to tell you" she said searching for the right word. "So do I" he said stopping. "Please join me in my room" she offered. He sighed and followed her down the hallway to the bright pink room. He sat down on the bed while she started walking around the room.
"Listen Star, I know you've been acting well…strange…and I just want to know what's bothering you. We're really close and I mean really close. You know you can tell me everything. We need to work things out between us and its hard when we keep secrets and if you can't be truthful I'm not sure that we can go on like this. I want to help Starfire but I can't if you don't let me in and-" "Robin" she said interrupting him.
"Yeah?" he asked. "Shut up." "Starfire" he said angrily. "You could at least let me finish" he snapped. She gave him what an idiot smile and whispered something in his ear.
"YOU'RE WHAT!" he screamed almost falling over. "Pregnant?" she said innocently. "And I'm the…" he started. "Father" she said finishing his sentence. Robin felt his body go numb and he passed out. "Robin?" he heard his name. "Yeah" he asked sitting up. "Where am I?" he asked then was blinded by pink. He looked at Starfire and remembered what she had just told him. He picked her up a spun her around. "You're not mad?" Starfire asked as he set her down. "This is wonderful! We're going to be parents! But we're only teens. But we'll have kids. But we're superheros. But if they inherit your powers so will they. But we don't know how to raise kids. But we're going to be
parents-" he was cut off by Starfire's lips pressed against his.
"I love you so much" he said after the kiss. She pulled him into a hug and added her own I love you too. "Starfire?" he asked. "Yes?" "Can we do this?" Robin said. Starfire smiled and nodded. "I'm as sure as a glordian sucmuffler" she answered. "Thank you Robin" she whispered. "For what?" he asked. "For staying with me" she said. "Always" he smiled and gave one long passionate kiss.
