Here is a new Chapter for you. I hope you like it. I plan on making another part to this story, where Robin and Raven's children are sixteen and eighteen. Hope you look forward to it. Ok so I managed to get another chapter up before Christmas. I don't know how many I'll be able to do so don't count on to much.
Last Time…
Victoria smiled. She pulled out a book and handed it to Nightwing. Raven was still seeing stars in her eyes.
"This is the list of gardens that hold weddings. They also give a detailed explanation of the garden and it's facilities," she informed.
"Ok," said Raven. "We'll pick and then call you."
"Ok," she said. "This is my home number, if you need to call that."
"Thanks," said Nightwing.
Chapter Four/ The wedding day
"Nightwing," called Raven. "I need your help with something."
"Coming," he called.
Nightwing was in his room, getting ready for the big day. Today he was getting married to Raven, his one true love. He exited his room and walked over to Ravens.
"Raven, open up," he called.
She ran over and opened the door. She wasn't dressed yet; she was in her bra and underwear.
"Yes Raven," said Nightwing, trying to keep his urges to himself.
"Not right now," she said. "I need you to get me some of that tea you bought for me, I don't know where it is and as you can see I'm in no condition to find it."
"Oh sure no problem," he said.
He kissed her on the cheek and took off for the kitchen. He went into the cupboard and found the raspberry flavored tea. He started the water and got out a mug for her. About five minutes later he took the tea to her room.
"Raven I've got your tea," he said.
She opened the door. He noticed her eyes had tears in them and she looked as if she was miserable.
"Raven, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing," she cried.
He walked into her room and set her tea down on a table.
"Raven something's wrong, you don't cry for nothing," he said.
"Why me?" she asked. "What do you see in me that Star doesn't have, or more?"
"Raven, you are the most beautiful woman I've set eyes on," he said. "Sure Starfire may have beautiful skin and a bright smile, but it's you I care about. I love how your skin shines in the moonlight, your eyes they sparkle brighter than any light, your personality is just so good, I love to be with you. I love it when your happy cause it makes me happy, I just love to be with you. Star might have thought that her and I were meant to be but she was wrong. Raven I love you, and you only."
She looked at him, her eyes shining. She put her head on his chest and started to cry.
"Thank you Nightwing," she said. "I love you to."
"Richard," he said.
"What?" she asked.
"My names Richard," he said. "If were going to get married we should call each other by our real names, not hide from each other."
"Ok Richard," she said. "My names actually Raven."
"Today's their big day," said Changeling. "I'm really going to miss them."
"What are you talking about?" asked the Hawk. "They're staying at the tower."
"I know, but they'll want to leave soon after that," he said.
"No they won't," she said, reassuring him. "They love you guys. You're all like they're family, the people they can always count on."
"You're right," he said. "I'm just being stupid."
"Naw," she said. "Just nervous about losing to of your greatest friends."
He smiled at her. She looked out the window, he face full of guilt.
"What's up?" asked Changeling.
"Nothing," she said, although she didn't keep the guilt out of her voice.
"Something's wrong," said Changeling. "You sound guilty or something."
She continued to look out the window. Tears started to form at her eyes but she held them back.
"Nothings wrong," she said again. "I just don't like hiding from the other Titans."
"Oh well I can introduce you to them," he said. "If you want?"
"That'd be nice," she said.
He held up his arm and she perched onto it. He walked into the living room holding the bird. Raven and Nightwing were sitting on the couch talking about the way the garden looked, Cyborg was watching the big screen, and Starfire was cooking something.
"Hey guys," said Changeling.
Cyborg looked up and nearly dropped the remote.
"No way," he said. "No birds, get it out."
Nightwing and Raven looked up and saw the hawk. Raven got up and stroked its soft feathers. Nightwing just looked at it, impressed.
"Why not?" asked Raven. "It's not hurting anything."
"It'll poop all over the place, I don't want to clean it up," said Cyborg.
"She hasn't pooped in the tower yet," said Changeling.
"Whoa wait a minute," said Cyborg. "How long has that bird been in here?"
"About two months," said Changeling.
"TWO MONTHS!" screamed Cyborg.
"HEY," shrieked the bird. "I don't poop in a room, thank you very much and the hunting was bad. Changeling was helping me so I wouldn't die."
"I don't care what he was… wait did you just talk?" asked Cyborg.
"Yes I did," she said. "I can talk to humans as well as my own kind. Now if you don't mind I'm going out to hunt."
With that said she flew out the open window and down to the coastline of their island.
"Why'd you have to upset her?" asked a furious Changeling. "You couldn't have just accepted her?"
"I didn't know she could talk," said Vyborg. "I didn't realize she was domesticated."
"She isn't," said Changeling. "She's not stupid you know? She wouldn't crap all over the tower floors."
Cyborg got up and walked to the kitchen. He started to prepare breakfast for the Titans. Angrily chopping some potatoes. Changeling glared at him.
"Oh grow up," said Raven. "It's just a bird."
"She's my friend," he said. "I can tell her anything and she understands me."
Changeling finally calmed down.
"Sorry, I just got annoyed," he said. "I've known her for three months, she's like my sister, I can tell her everything."
Raven looked at him with a new sort of respect. He had managed to keep this bird safe and healthy for two months and actually build a relationship with her. Terra was gone; she went back to New York for a while. She wanted to see her family again but she was going to be back today.
"Well tell her she's welcome to see our wedding," said Raven, smiling at him.
Raven's dressing room…
"I'm so nervous," she said. "I can't believe this. Me? Getting married? It just doesn't seem like it could have possibly happen."
Victoria smiled at her. She was fixing the dress the Raven was in. Though her deep loathing of dresses had kept her out of one for all these years, she had insisted that she wear one for her wedding, if that came ever.
"It is happening," she said. "Richard chose you, because he loves you. Tell yourself this, he chose me because he loves me, and he wants to spend his life with me. To hold me when I'm sad, to be by my side for all eternity. He loves me and he wants to be with me for the rest of our lives."
Raven had tears start to form in her eyes. She laughed and then hugged Victoria.
"Thank you," she said. "This wedding is what I've always dreamed about."
"You're welcome," she said. "Now let's get ready."
Nightwing's dressing room…
Nightwing paced the floor, back and forth. He was really nervous and he was anxious. He fought villains, monsters and robots, he fought against pure evil when it came to earth, but this simple thing scared the crap out of him.
"Yo, they want their floor to still be there when you leave," said Cyborg. "You're gonna wear it out."
"I'm just so nervous," he said. "I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm………scared."
Cyborg didn't laugh or look like he was getting a Christmas gift in October. His face became soft and caring.
"It's normal to be scared," he said. "I'll probably be scared when I get married. Don't worry about it. Raven loves you, she won't turn you down."
Nightwing stopped pacing and sat down in a chair. His tuxedo's coat was hanging off the back of it. He put his face into his hands. Cyborg just stood there and let him work things out. Nightwing looked up and smiled.
"Thanks, Cyborg," he said. "I really needed that."
"No problem," said Cyborg. "Now let's go, you have to get to the alter."
The Wedding…
Nightwing stood at the alter waiting for the wedding to start. He was really nervous but was doing a very good job of hiding it. He looked over at the front row. He saw his Stepfather, Bruce Wayne, the Titans and he saw some people from the press. He looked up to see two large hawk eyes staring down, intently. He smirked at the bird, and he could have sworn he could see it smile back. The music started and he snapped his vision back to the aisle. He saw the flower girl start to come down and throw the flowers, the brides maids and then, Raven. He looked at her and smiled. She was beautiful. She walked down to him and he held out his arm for her.
"You ready?" he whispered.
"Ready as I'll ever be," she said.
Together hand in hand they walked down the asile.
(I really should stop it here and make you wait until after Christmas for the rest of the wedding, but I'm feeling generous. Lol, here's the rest of it.)
The minister stood at the front with his white robes on. He opened a book and started to talk.
"We gather here today, to wed these two in holy matrimony. If there is any objections, speak now," he said looking around.
No one said anything.
"Then we may proceed," he smiled. "Do you Nightwing, take Raven to be your beloved wife, to help her in sickness and in health, and stand by her side until death do you part?"
"I do," he said.
"And do you Raven, take Nightwing to be your beloved husband, to help him in sickness and in health, and stand by his side until death do you part?"
"I do," she said.
"Nightwing, you may now kiss the bride," he said.
Nightwing lifted her veil and kissed her.
There, huff, I got, puff, another, huff, chapter up. Lol, anyways and it was up just in time, I got it up just before Christmas. R&R and I'll get typing another one, I doubt it'll be up before Christmas though.
