Chapter Twelve
Babies don't pop out.
Starfire shifted, and closed her eyes.
"Aqualad, do you remember first meeting him?" She asked Raven.
"Yes, Beast Boy hated him." Raven replied, nodding. Starfire glanced at Beast Boy, who was telling a joke to a sweat-dropping Cyborg.
"When you left, friend, when you, Robin, and Beast Boy left, he whispered" Starfire cut off and looked seriously at Raven,
"In my ear, he whispered...I'll save one of you, I promise." Starfire choked out, and gave a helpless face to Raven.
Raven blew her bang out of her face. She took a deep breath.
"Starfire, that didn't mean he wanted to Glalalak with me." She sighed. Starfire blushed,
"Oh." She said and grew a crimson red. Raven shook her head and suddenly a thought struck her I haven't meditated in days. She thought, and her eyes grew big.
Wait a second, why was Aqualad all suspicious? Yeah, Starfire and I had a crush on him, but he was being sarcastic and Starfire doesn't get sarcasm. Guys are so annoying; nobody can ever figure them out. Raven sighed and walked over to Beast Boy, who was waving away the leaving guests.
"Beast Boy, why was Aqualad acting so suspicious?" Raven asked wearily. Beast Boy blushed and smiled a humiliated smile.
"Uh, I don't know." He said and started to whistle. Raven made him fall with her powers.
"Tell me." She stated. Beast Boy rubbed his back,
"Geez Raven, can't you take a joke?" He whined and got up.
"See, Aqualad can't stand the fact that someone who isn't all 'savey the worldy' is going out with you." He said, playing with his fingers. Raven sighed,
"Beast Boy you do save the world." Beast Boy scratched the back of his head.
"Oh yeah." Raven gave him one of those classic teen titan's "Kill me now" faces to Beast Boy and clenched her teeth.
"Tell...me...now."
"Uh, we-ell, while you guys were somewhere else, uh I uh made this kinda bet with Aqualad we'd never get together. 'Cause he said we would and I said no friggen way and then we got together and I never paid him. So he's all mad. Don't worry though! Nothing to be afraid of!" Beast Boy explained and took a big breath at the end. Raven rolled her eyes and started to help Starfire clean up.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Raven lay awake in bed, she was tired, but not tired enough to sleep. She ached, and was hungry. She rolled over, but suddenly felt a pain. It was wrenching, possibly the worst thing she'd ever felt in her life. She threw the blankets off, only to get hit by another wrenching pain. She gasped for breath,
"TITANS! GET OVER" She took a breath again,
"HERE NOW!"
The titans came, and Starfire broke open the door and came to Ravens aid. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy's mouths hung open, and Cyborg managed to grunt out, "I'll go get the T-Car." (A/N: That's always reminded me of T-Mobile...Ok keep on reading).
"This...kid isn't...waiting!" Raven yelled with a definite tone of annoyance in her voice.
"Raven! Can't you just say Azarath Metrion Zinthos and the baby'll pop out?" Beast Boy asked.
"Beast Boy. Babies don't pop out."
"Well how do they"
"Okay! We're at the hospital!" Cyborg interrupted and swerved into the parking lot. Robin and Starfire's hands had formed fists around the seat edges, Raven hadn't noticed how fast Cyborg had driven.
The Titans rushed her into the hospital, and the secretary gasped,
"Oh my lord, Doctor Gurts! Doctor Gurts come quickly!" She screamed into the intercom. The Titans exchanged a glance, and Raven clenched her teeth again.
"Kid. Coming. Now. Not. Waiting. For. Doctor. Gurts." She said with breaths in between every word.
A doctor rushed down a flight of stairs and helped Raven into a wheelchair, running into the elevator. A moment of silence passed, and of course Beast Boy broke it.
"Sooooo, what are we supposed to do?" The secretary got up and walked over to the Titans.
"Do you want to wait for Raven? There's a special waiting room for you lucky aunts and uncles!" She said with an 'o-so-perfect-I-use-whitener-every-single-night-and-my-life-is-way-better-than-yours-any-day-plus-I-want-to-go-home-so-hurry-up' smile. Starfire gave a confused look,
"I am not an ant. Robin, is this one of Earth's strange customs?" Robin looked at the other Titans, it wasn't going to be easy to explain.
"Yeah Star, I'll uh, explain later." He said, trying to get help from the others who ignored him.
The secretary clapped her hands and led them upstairs to a neat and tidy "Martha Stewart" waiting room. She smiled and walked out of the room, leaving the Titans standing. Beast Boy scuffed his foot against the floor,
"Who wonders how Raven's doing?" He asked, looking up.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Raven was in the emergency room, and had screamed,
"You idiots I'm pushing!" A couple times, along with some language we'd have to put in the "M" section. Doctor Gurts suddenly paused.
"Raven," She started, and looked at a loss for words.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
