Chapter 13: Coming Home
It had been 3 weeks since the birth of Aphrodite and Raven and Garfield had started to pack up to go back home.
"Well Gar, I think that's everything"
"Yep, so I guess we go back now huh?"
"Yep, lets get rolling"
They walked down to the main room and signed out of their once home.
"Well come on Raven, let's go home...to our real home"
She nodded happily. She picked up their stuff with her powers and held Aphrodite in her arms.
She cooed softly as the wind pushed against her. She sighed and fell asleep against her mother's shoulder.
They landed in front of the giant T.
Raven put all their stuff in her room using her powers. She quickly put her sleeping baby in her room underneath the covers of her bed.
Gar knocked on the door heavily.
From inside they could hear Starfire's voice screaming "I'll get it!"
The door opened slowly. A long reunion of friends was about to take place and time went by too slow for comfort.
Starfire looked out and saw them standing there. Her eyes welled up 5x their normal size.
"FRIENDS! YOU HAVE RETURNED!"
She pulled them into a bone crushing hug.
"Robin! Cyborg they are back!"
Footsteps came closer and louder until they were in front of them.
"Raven, Beast Boy" Robin said
"It's Gar"
"Umm Right!" Cyborg said.
"Grass-Stain your back! Man it was boring without you! There was almost no one to play video games with, and no one to fight with!"
"I missed you too Cy"
Robin looked at both of them.
"I'm glad your both back"
Raven shook their hands.
"Come in both of you!" Cyborg greeted them inside. Their Christmas decorations were still up.
"You guys I hope had a good Christmas" Robin asked.
"Yes, you guys too"
"It was not the same without our friends" Starfire said hanging over Raven's shoulder. Starfire picked up Raven's hand, then growled seeing nothing was there. Then her cloak but nothing she wanted was there.
"Friend Raven, Gar...field said over the phone that when you were to return you were going to bring a surprise!"
"Actually Star, we have two surprises"
"May we see them!"
"The first one now, the second a little later"
She frowned then smiled again.
"Okay show us"
"I'm already showing you it"
"Huh"
"Notice anything different?"
Robin's eyes scanned her body (not that way! This is a BB/Rae story remember).
"Your finger"
She picked it up. The diamond band sparkled.
"Yep"
"You and the grass stain are gettin married!" Cyborg said.
"Wonderful! That is wonderful friends! I knew that you would find happiness!"
"Yeah we did"
Raven stared off into space. Her mother instinct and her demonic powers picked up a faint coo.
"Actually the second surprise is coming right up" She flew down the hallways into her room and picked up Aphrodite.
"Now everyone is going to see how cute you are!"
She giggled.
Raven walked down the hallways.
"Well where is it?" Robin asked.
"Right here, and it's not an it, it's a she"
She held out Aphrodite for everyone to see.
"Awww it is a baby! Were did you find it!"
"I didn't find her Starfire, she's mine"
"Huh? But that means you and Beast Boy would've had to..."
"Raven, is this true?" Robin stepped forward looking at the small pale infant.
"Yes Robin, she's mine and I'm keeping her, I love her"
Robin sighed.
"What the heck we could use another titan!"
She gave Aphrodite to Gar and gave Robin a friendly hug.
"I forgive you Robin, if you hadn't of done what you did, me and Gar would have never become this close and I never would have had Aphrodite"
"Your welcome Raven"
"We'll ya'll I don't know about you but I think that we should celebrate!"
"For what? Robin asked.
"Well Raven and Gar are back, there gettin married and they have an adorable new baby!"
"I agree with Cyborg"
"Alright we'll have a party"
The End
