haywire.
Chapter VII: It's time
Robin and Beast Boy in the past few days had become almost impossible to keep away from the girls. Both of them would wait hand and foot on them, and Starfire was certain the only feeling she had had from Robin was concern.
Five months passed. Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven had begun to wonder if Robin and Beast Boy had been brainwashed. However, today both boys seemed to be partially themselves again. Robin had picked up something he hadn't for a long time: the newspaper. Beast Boy had resurrected his old habit of fighting with Cyborg over food again. To Cyborg, it was good; he had kind of missed fighting with BB.
"For the last time, I am not eating parts of animals that have been cut out, squeezed free of blood, cooked, and stuffed into packages!" Beast Boy shouted. Robin, who had been chewing on some bacon, spat it out. Starfire decided that she would skip breakfast today, while Raven continued to sip her tea.
The ordeal of breakfast was finished, and the Titans piled into the car, heading to the hospital. Today the doctor was going to do an X-ray. The T-car pulled to a stop in front of the hospital (it might have spun out if Robin and Beast Boy hadn't insisted on normal speeds). They walked into the hospital and waited outside the X-ray room. The doctor came out, and Raven and Beast Boy went in with him.
"Well, let's take a look," the doctor said, and he put a...the thingy that looks like a stethoscope except it's like an x-ray camera on Raven's stomach. An image came up on a small screen. The doctor moved the thingy around until it showed the baby's head. Raven and Beast Boy looked at the child. It was sitting there, sucking on its thumb. The doctor moved the thingy again, and then turned it off.
"Well, you're going to have a boy," the Doctor said. Inside Raven mind, however: a mini BB. That's all I need. A mini BB that also cries, comes with diapers, and drinks milk. On the other hand, it won't be talking or eating tofu for a while.
The two went back outside, and Starfire and Robin came in. Starfire lay down on the table, and the doctor turned on the camera. Robin stared at the small image. The doctor manipulated it to show the head.
"Well, it's a girl," the doctor reported. Starfire and Robin smiled. Then the doctor pointed to the screen. Robin and Starfire's smile faded.
"What's that?" the doctor asked, moving the camera again. Robin studied the screen, but couldn't understand anything it showed. The doctor chuckled.
"What do you know," the doctor said, "You have twins."
It was never quite sure who fainted first, Starfire or Robin.
In the next two months, Fayrii and Jack visited again. The two brothers were grinning happily. Then they saw Raven and Starfire, followed by Robin and Beast Boy's reports.
The first words out of young Jack's mouth were, "You had..." The last word wasn't spoken, Fayrii's hand was quicker. But the older brother's eyes were as wide as dinner plates.
Later that day, the seven piled into the T-car, going shopping for the new arrivals. They stopped by the mall, and walked in. Cyborg, Jack, Raven and Beast Boy headed to the boys' section, while Fayrii, Robin and Starfire went to the girls section. While they were in the walking path, Fayrii was normal, but as soon as they entered an area, the Half-faerie was holding his breath.
Starfire wanted to get her girls things that were pink and fluffy. Robin wanted to get something red. Robin didn't want extreme girly-girl daughters, either. When they got old enough, he wanted to personally teach them everything they knew. Starfire wanted to teach them to fly and use starbolts, to enjoy being a girl (the flying and starbolt part Robin was fine with, the girl part, not so much). Fayrii wisely reminded them that they were looking for baby toys, clothes, cribs, and diapers. They decided on a blue and white crib, and red and purple clothing. The toy part was easy. Anything that Robin didn't think would make the babies even think a scared thought was put in the cart. Diapers were next, about ten boxes. Then came carrying things and strollers and whatever I missed.
Raven and Beast Boy's shopping trip wasn't too difficult either. Beast Boy would let their son be dressed in black and a dark green. They didn't get many toys however, after Raven made a comment about Beast Boy already owning enough. They got a dark green carriage, diapers, dark green and black clothes, and everything else in those colors.
Fayrii and Jack flew to the tower while levitating everything behind them. Everyone else file into the car. They reached home, and everything was put in a place. Robin settled down next to Starfire to read a book, Fayrii and Jack went downstairs, Cyborg turned on the TV, Raven decided to meditate, while Beast Boy went to follow Raven. Downstairs, Fayrii and Jack descended into the basement, and locked the door behind them.
After making sure no one was listening, Jack asked, "Is it time?"
Fayrii nodded, "It's time." The two boys used white magic to create a glowing orb. Then channeling their psychic energy into it, they put a spell of good luck upon the Tower.
Two more months later, an argument was ensuing. Fayrii, Cyborg, Jack, were standing by the door, waiting for Robin and Beast Boy to go, who refused to move from the girls on the couch.
"I'm not going anywhere," Robin said, folding his arms and saying it for the twentieth time.
"I will be alright Robin," Starfire assured. Robin shook his head.
"Robin and I aren't going anywhere," Beast Boy answered, his arms folded and his eyes closed.
"Please Robin?" Starfire asked, and made a puppy dog pout. Robin stared at her for a while, and then tore his eyes away. But the image stayed in his mind, and he dropped his arms and head in defeat, and then walked over to the waiting boys.
Raven looked to Beast Boy, who began to defend himself, "It's gonna take more a face to pry me away..." Beast Boy was cut off as Raven kissed him. He walked dizzily for while, put his finger in the air, and said, "I'll be back in a minute," before hitting the ground. They other boys helped him up, and they left.
At the pizza parlor, where the boys were ordering lunch, Robin and Beast Boy were relaxing, beginning to finally the grasp the fact that the girls didn't need them 24/7 (about nine months late, Cyborg muttered).
Everything was going fine, until Robin suddenly hit the ground, holding his stomach in pain.
"Robin, what's wrong?" Cyborg asked as they all ran over to him.
"It's not me," Robin grunted, "It's Starfire. It's a contraption." Immediately, Fayrii and Jack picked up Robin by the arms and flew the five of them over to the Tower. Sure enough, when they got there, Starfire was in a contraption. The T-car never gone so fast when it zoomed to the hospital. Starfire was rushed into a room with Robin next to her. Another doctor came out and advised Raven to stay here in a different room. She and BB went into a different room. Cyborg, Fayrii, and Jack were left out in the waiting room. Cyborg paced about, Fayrii tried to keep himself busy playing a energy game, while Jack simply waited patiently in a seat.
Robin stood next to Starfire, holding his stomach. The pain vanished. Another contraption done with. Starfire grabbed his hand. Robin managed a smile. Another contraption came, Robin found himself in a problem. Starfire grip was hurting his hand. In return, Starfire felt the pain from him and tightened her grip. So Robin's hand was slowly being crushed harder and harder.
The doctor decided it was time, and Starfire was instructed to push. She doubted she could, yet the doctor thought she was doing perfectly. Sometimes it paid to be super-strong.
"We have one!" the doctor shouted. A crying was heard, and the doctor took a screaming baby girl out and handed it to a nurse, who started to dry it off. Starfire was instructed to push again, and the doctor took out a second crying baby girl. The two babies were dried off, and handed to a happy Starfire and Robin. Starfire was smiling and had tears; Robin was also smiling and slightly laughing. He cradled the crying baby in his arms, and couldn't do anything else but smile at the precious one in his arms.
Meanwhile, about the time Starfire had begun to push, Raven had gone into labor. It was a very painful thing, and Raven was frequently having thoughts about killing Beast Boy. Beast Boy stood panicking.
"Beast Boy," she asked.
"Yes Raven?" he answered.
"Can you get me a glass of water?"
"Of course," he replied, and ran off. Beast Boy headed down to the waiting room, filled a glass of water, and came running back. However, the doctor didn't know he was coming, and so when he opened the door fast, it came in contact with Beast Boy very unfriendly.
WHAM! Beast Boy, knocked in the head, fell to ground. The doctor saw him, and picked him up, running back in.
"Sorry, but your husband's been knocking partially unconscious," the doctor explained, putting Beast Boy in a pull-out bed next to Raven's.
"What does that mean?" Raven asked.
Partially knocked out BB answered by saying, "I want a cookie."
"Alright, you need to push this time!" the doctor ordered. Raven began to push, and Beast Boy started singing some song (You can't blame him, he's been partially knocked out).
While BB was singing, he looked down where the baby was coming, and shouted, "WHOA!"
"SHUT UP!" Raven yelled, and Beast Boy leaned back on his stretcher. After a few minutes, a baby boy rested in Raven's arms.
The girls had been moved into the same room, and the boys filed in silently. Starfire was beaming with the twins in her arms, and Raven was slightly smiling with her son in her arms.
Fayrii wanted to know immediately, "What are their names?"
"The one in my right arm is Whitefire, and the one in my left arm is Bluefire," Starfire answered happily.
"His name," Raven stated, "is Mirgath." (A/N: My creation!)
Whitefire and Bluefire looked identical. They both had skin Starfire's color, and small amounts of red hair could be seen. The difference between the two was Whitefire's eyes were white, while Bluefire's eyes were deep blue. Mirgath had skin like Raven's, yet had hair and eyes like Beast Boy. Currently he was staring off at the ceiling.
Robin took Bluefire from Starfire. She does have my eyes, Robin thought to himself.
"So you're Bluefire, eh?" Robin asked the little baby. A leaky sound was heard, and Robin's smile faded "And you peed on me."
Cyborg spoke up, "Alright Fayrii and Jack, let's go and wait in the T- car." Jack and Fayrii reluctantly followed.
