Chapter III: Jake
Robin slept uncomfortably all night that night.
The baby had been made a bed in Starfire's room and they had set up two walkie-talkies; one for Star's room and one for Robin's. When ever Robin even heard the slightest sound, he would sit straight up and would be ready to run to Star's room – before he realized that the sounds were really only bugs or creaky floor boards.
Then he heard a sound from the walkie-talkie.
"Aaaaaaaa!"
Robin shot out from his bed, grabbed what he could of what was bought earlier that day, and bolted to Star's room. He wrenched the sliding door open and nearly tumbled inside. Star looked at him in surprise. He was draped in baby blankets, bottles, new diapers, bottles of powder, and boxes of wipes.
"What's –(pant)– wrong?" he gasped.
"Nothing," she said, happily.
"But –(pant)– I heard –(pant)– the baby –(pant)– scream."
"He did not scream."
"What?"
"He was laughing."
She pointed to the baby's temporary bed of blankets, pillows, and curtains (A/N remember in Can I Keep Him?). The baby was happily playing with Silky, Starfire's mutant pet.
"Oh," said Robin, a blush coming over his cheeks. He felt like an idiot.
He put down the stuff and came over to stand next to Starfire, who watched the child play, happily.
"Robin," she said, "I believe it is time we did 'the naming'."
"Naming? Oh, yeah! Hmmm…" He looked at him.
"I was thinking that we might name him Gursafink," she said proudly.
"Uh, well, that's a, um – good name – but I was thinking we should give him and Earth name. You, know, since he's an Earth baby?"
"Alright," she said. Though she sounded a bit disappointed. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well, how about Jake?"
She thought about it. "Jake… it is most appeasing!"
"Alright, Jake it is."
They looked proudly at the baby boy and smiled at him.
Unbeknownst to them, an orange and black spider was watching from above. And miles away, Slade was watching their every move from that very spider's viewpoint. He sat back as a plan formed in his twisted mind.
Ooooooh! Cliff hanger! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
