Hello again. I've finally returned. Please forgive my tardiness in my update. I have struggled to write this chapter to my liking and I hope it is to your liking as well. To those who have reviewed, I give you many many thanks.

I do not own Teen Titans. What more can I say? Please enjoy the chapter!


It had been an hour since Robin and Raven spoke. During that hour, Raven threw up once more and went through a very informative meditation. When she finished with that, she chose one of her favorite books and laid herself across her bed on her stomach to read it.

"I wouldn't get too used to that if I were you," Robin said softly as he entered the room. Raven looked up and flashed him a quizzical look.

"Get used to what?" she asked as tension seeped into her voice. She began to fear the worst. Robin, however, dispelled the worry.

"Lying on your stomach," he replied. "Eventually you're going to be way to pregnant to do that." Raven studied her boyfriend thoughtfully.

"You're taking this rather well," she murmured flatly. Robin suddenly looked sheepish. In his customary nervous fashion, he ran his hand through his hair.

"I'd let you believe that, but the training room wouldn't support your theory."

"Why is that?" Raven asked slowly.

"Well," he began drawing out the word nervously, "let me put it to you this way: after you left the room, I inflicted several thousand dollars worth of damage to the room and its equipment. However, somewhere amidst the destruction, I think I came to a decision." Raven looked away.

"I see," she answered. Sorrow laced her voice. Robin's brow furrowed and we walked over to join her on the bed. He placed a hand on her shoulder and she stiffened.

"Something's upsetting you," he pointed out flatly. She turned and fixed him with a look.

"No shit, Sherlock," she deadpanned. "I'm pregnant and the father of my child, the love of my life has just told me he has no desire to be a part of my life. Should I be happy about this!" she bit out the last part angrily. Robin looked very startled.

"What?" he asked and looked very confused. "When in this conversation did I ever say I didn't want you or this child?" Raven looked at him so hopefully that his heart ached. He drew her very close. "One of these days, I hope you really get this. I. Love. You. Nothing is going to change that, ever. You mean the world to me." Raven took his hand and held it tight. Robin contemplated his next words very carefully.

"We're young. You're only nineteen and I'm barely a year older than that. We're also Titans, super heroes. It's a dangerous occupation. I can't lie to you; this whole thing scares me… a lot."

"It scares me too," Raven admitted.

"But as much as it scares me, I know this for sure. I will be right beside you and we'll take this challenge together." Raven said nothing for a long time. Finally, Robin just barely heard her answer.

"Thank you."

The two stayed together very quietly for about a half an hour. Both were very lost in their thoughts until Robin finally spoke. "You still have to talk to Cyborg, remember? He's probably waiting for you in his garage, working on the T-car or something."

"Oh joy," Raven groaned. "You coming?" she asked as she made to stand up. Robin cringed.

"You know how I told you I'd stand by you through everything?"

"Yes," Raven answered suspiciously.

"It starts after you talk to Cyborg."

"Coward."

"Maybe, but I'm a coward who's gonna live to see his kid," Robin said flatly. "I don't know about you, but being on the receiving end of Cy's cannon is anything but settling and safe." Raven rolled her eyes but nodded.

"I suppose it's for the best. This could get ugly."

When Raven entered the garage, Cyborg was busy buffing the T-Car. He turned when he heard the doors swish close. "Raven," he said tensely. She nodded. "You've come for our talk then?"

"Something like that," Raven replied. "You tried to fry Robin…my boyfriend. Why?" she asked flatly.

"I can't really explain it," Cyborg answered honestly. "I got worried and something snapped."

"Worried?" Raven looked curious. Cyborg shrugged.

"Yeah. I can't help it. You're like my little sister, Anna. I lost her in an accident. The same one that made me as much a mechanical as human," he explained. Raven nodded understandingly.

"Then you're trying to protect me, not unlike you would have your sister."

"Yeah, I guess," Cyborg looked a little lost and a little sad. Raven, in a rare show of affection, walked forward and hugged him.

"Thank you," she said softly. "I appreciate it, I really do, but…" she trailed off as her thoughts left her.

"But what?" Cyborg encouraged.

"I'm nineteen now, I'm grown up now. You can't protect me every step of the way anymore." Cyborg looked hurt.

"I don't think I can just let go," he said thoughtfully. "You've kinda grown on me…really grown on me." Raven shook her head.

"You don't have to let go…siblings never really do. You just have to step back a bit. Let me make my own decisions, my own…mistakes," she paused for a moment, "and Robin loves me, let him be the one to protect me now."

"I can do that," Cyborg said after a moment of silence, "but I'm still gonna look out for you." Raven nodded and cracked a small smile. To her surprise, Cyborg gathered her up again. "Love ya, Dark Girl." Raven made no reply, but when she returned his gesture, she said it all.

When they parted, Cyborg noticed how uneasy Raven looked. He became worried. "Something else on your mind?"

"Not exactly my mind," she answered evasively.

"Raven, what's going on?"

"I'm pregnant." That sentence stopped everything. Cyborg just stared at her blankly.

"Excuse me?" he asked slowly. Raven sighed.

"I am expecting a baby," she said in a mildly irritated voice. In any situation, she hated repeating herself.

"You are WHAT? PREGNANT?" he screeched. "HOW? WHO? WHEN?" Raven winced and rolled her eyes.

"I am pregnant. I had sex. Robin is the father. I am just shy of two months along."

"Raven, you're nineteen! How could this happen?" His voice became strangled, "P-pregnant..nnnngggghhhh." There was a loud clatter as metal struck concrete. Raven gazed at the motionless man before her with a mixture of worry and exasperation.

Using her telekinesis, she propped Cyborg up against a wall. As she departed she muttered, "That went better than I had planned."


I have looked back at my previous chapters and I know there is little humor in them. There will be soon; I am just taking the time right now to reveal the relationships in the tower. For those who are wondering, no, Cyborg is not in love with Raven. It is a sibling thing, family love. Yes, I have taken some liberties with Cyborg's past as I do not know what really happened. I apologize if this bothers you. As for Cyborg's reaction, my friend reacted the same way when he found out his own sister was pregnant. I hope you have enjoyed. Chapter five will be out in a week or so! Good-bye for now.
