Chapter VI: Surprises
Cyborg sat on the couch, flipping through the channels. A month since Raven, BB, Starfire, and Robin had been married. They still weren't back from their honeymoons. And Fayrii and Jack had needed to go back to their dimension. Something about a war or the other. So Cyborg had the entire tower to himself. Lately he was learning how boring it was to live alone.
Cyborg spent most of his time either eating, charging, or talking to Blackfire. Thankfully, the city had been quiet lately. Although Cyborg thought something was up. Cyborg changed channels again to the science channel. A show called 'UFOs: Do They Exist?' was on. Cyborg smiled to himself as pictures of flying saucers were shown. Of course UFOs exist, else where would Starfire, Raven, Fayrii, and Jack come from?
The narrator changed course, "But then, there are those hideous aliens in Jump City, always causing trouble. Plus two more have been seen. Are we not safe?"
"Oh yeah? Well screw you!" someone yelled, and a familiar disk smashed into the TV, breaking it. Cyborg turned around to see Robin standing there with Starfire.
"Wazzup guys?" Cyborg asked. Robin's mood lightened, and he smiled and shook Cyborg's hand.
"Hey Cyborg," Robin greeted. Starfire flew into them both.
"Friend Cyborg it is nice to see you!" Starfire said, as hyper as ever.
"Good to see you too Starfire," Cyborg said, as his gut was being squeezed to death. Starfire let go, and Cyborg took deep breaths.
"So, you're fixing the TV, right?" Cyborg asked Robin. Robin gave him one of those yeah-right looks. "So, where did you guys go off to?"
"We traveled to the water enveloped island called Hawaii!" Starfire exclaimed joyfully, "And then we partook in the ritual of..."
Robin's hand gently covered her mouth, his cheeks slightly red. "That's more than he needs to know, Star," he explained. Starfire blushed. Cyborg showed that evil grin that Robin used when he had just kicked butt.
"I shall go get our things," Starfire said, and she walked off. Robin watched her go, a bit of drool coming out of the corner of his mouth, until Cyborg picked him up and took him out into the hallway. Cyborg pinned him to the wall.
"So, what 'ritual' did you partake in, eh Robin?" Cyborg chuckled. Robin glared at him.
Cyborg continued his teasing, "I'll bet you thoroughly enjoyed your time doing her..." Cyborg didn't get much further before Robin kicked him in the stomach, tripped him, and pinned him to the ground.
"Don't you even think about talking about Starfire like that again, because if I do, the consequences won't be pleasant," Robin threatened. Cyborg was smart enough to know Robin meant it.
"But what about you, eh Robin?" Cyborg asked as he got up. Robin's cheeks turned the color of an apple. Cyborg burst out laughing.
There was a knock heard at the door. The two got up and walked down to open it. On the other side was Raven with Beast Boy.
"Hey guys, how are ya?" Beast Boy asked.
"Hey Beast Boy, hey Raven," Robin greeted.
"Wazzup?" Cyborg asked. Just then, a purple and red blur came flying down the stairs. Starfire hugged Raven and Beast Boy.
"Friends you have returned!" Starfire shouted.
"Yeah," Beast Boy choked.
"You're. Hugging. Me," Raven managed to get out. Starfire let go.
"Where did you depart for your moon of honey?" Starfire asked.
"Okinawa," Raven stated simply. The Titans stood there for some time, not entirely sure what to do next.
"Um, anyone want pizza?" Robin asked. There was a chorus of 'yes' and a 'maybe.' Jumping inside the T-car, the Titans drove down to the pizza parlor.
Two weeks later, the boys were sitting at the breakfast table, doing what they were supposed to do: eating breakfast. Beast Boy, however, was worried about Raven.
"C'mon, BB, Raven's probably meditating," Cyborg reassured to a pacing BB.
"But she would have come down for a cup of herbal tea already," Beast Boy countered. After a few more minutes, Beast Boy left to go check on her.
"Hey Robin, why aren't you worried about Star; shouldn't she be here by now?"
Cyborg asked.
"It's the link," Robin answered, "I can sense her in the living room. Plus, I'm feeling happiness from her. While I am curious as to why she's in the living room by herself, she feels alright."
Suddenly, Robin felt funny. "Now something is wrong," he said, and he got up to leave.
Starfire was in the living room by herself, holding her stomach. She smiled at him as he sat down next to her, and then lowered her head again.
"Star, what's wrong?" Robin asked. "Do you have stomach ache?"
"No," Starfire answered. "It is not an ache of the stomach, but my stomach feels strange."
Robin sat for a while, running through his head. He didn't quite get it. Starfire sighed.
"I feel like it is getting bigger," Starfire hinted again. Robin's mind searched again: hmm, getting bigger, it's not fat, Starfire could never be fat, let's see...oh.
"I...see," Robin answered, understanding dawning. Just then, Beast Boy and Raven walked in. Raven didn't look too comfortable. Starfire and Raven were staring at each other, nodding back and forth. Robin and Beast Boy looked at each other and shrugged. The girls were using Raven's mind speak. After a few minutes, the girls just sat there, so Robin assumed they weren't talking anymore.
"Um, Star?" he started. She turned back to him, so she hadn't been mind talking then. "Perhaps we should go to the doctor?"
Just then a snickering was heard coming from the kitchen. Beast Boy and Robin looked at each other, and then snuck off to the kitchen. Painful sounds of, "OW!" "AHHHHH!" were heard from a certain bionic man. The two boys walked back out with a grin on their faces, and a battered Cyborg dragged himself behind them. The five entered the T-car, and drove off to the hospital.
Upon inspection, the doctor issued his report: both Starfire and Raven were going to be pregnant. Starfire was given commands to not fly, tumble, eat candy, not be hyper, and she probably shouldn't go fight until it was over with. The same thing was for Raven, which wouldn't be too hard for her.
Two days later, the titans were sitting on the couch, watching TV, when there was a knock heard at the door. A voice sounded through, "ROBIN! YOU LET ME IN THERE RIGHT NOW!" The voice belonged to one person: Batman.
Robin's face drained all of its color, and he melted on the spot. Slowly, Robin walked over to the door, and he was certain he could hear the funeral march playing. Robin opened the door to see a towering, enraged Batman over him. Batman lifted him up by the shirt.
"HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT WITHOUT TELLING ME! I SHOULD..." Batman's lecture went on for some time. "...UNDERSTAND?"
A close-to-death Robin nodded his head. Batman dropped him and left, with a muttered, "Congratulations."
Robin lay on the floor for a while, thinking of his luck. Bad news: Batman had found out about the wedding. Good news: He didn't know two Titans were pregnant. More Bad News: What would happen when he did find out?
Robin picked himself up and walked over to the couch, and sat back in his seat, his face still pale. Eventually, he returned to normal.
