Chapter 1

Robin was in the gym when she found him. Raven nervously approached her leader, Robin. Though a few years had passed, and their friendship had grown since the time her father attempted to fulfill the prophecy handed down at her birth, she was still anxious about sharing any personal information. And what she was about to do was so beyond personal that it wasn't even funny. Sure, all she really was coming to do was to ask her best friend, and secret love, for two weeks off so she can isolate herself even more than usual. It was the motivation of her asking for the time off that she didn't wish to share, but knew she would have to. Robin wouldn't let her get away without divulging that information. "Robin?" she called to the boy wonder that was currently punishing a punching bag.

"Yeah, Rae?" He answered, using the nickname only he could without getting a death glare and threat, and thrown into the wall depending on her mood and if it was Beast Boy.

"Can I have the next two weeks off?"

"Two weeks?" Robin asked, brows knit together thinking 'Since when did Raven ask for time off?'

"Yeah, two weeks," Raven reiterated, feeling a now familiar feeling in her stomach alerting her to the fact that she needed to hurry this up and get out.

"Well, Raven, I don't know. Crime rates have been higher lately and two weeks is a long time." 'Besides, I don't know if I can survive two weeks without you.'

"Please, Robin, I really need this time off."

Robin was caught of guard by her response; never, absolutely never, had he ever had Raven beg him for something. "What's wrong?" he immediately asked with concern in his voice.

"What made you think anything was wrong?" Raven countered, the feeling in her stomach getting stronger and harder to ignore.

"Raven," Robin's voice came with that warning tone, "I know you. You never ask for time off, let alone beg for it."

"I just really want time off?" she asked in an I-hope-you-fall-for-this voice. Robin just gave her a look. She sighed and mumbled. "Its that time of the year."

Robin had a question mark over his head. "Time of the year?"

"Azarathians are slightly different from earthlings. Instead of having a period every month, we have them every six months."

"And that's why you want to have a vacation?" Robin butted in.

"No. See along with that, Azarathian women also have their times of the year. It is the one time each year when their sex drive is extremely high. All we want to do is have sex. Now if we're mated, that's alright. We have our mates there, ready and willing to do the job. And as mated women, we will only have sex with them. However, unmated women…"

"Unmated woman what?"

"They tend to sleep with any male in the general vicinity in order to satisfy their hungers. Though they start with the ones they actually would consider for mating or want to mate. If they can't have them, they move on to just whoever is around, other than a relative."

"Isn't that a little unsafe?"

"Pregnancy wise? No, we can't have children with anyone that isn't our mate," Raven answered. Seeing his look, she continued, "My father forced my mother to mate him. That's what made it so much worse, because she couldn't take another mate after that. Anyway, there aren't any diseases on Azarath you can get by sleeping with someone. Besides, the unmated ones are generally locked up during that time."

"Why does this happen? And why have you never asked for time off before?"

"It happens because that is when we will most likely get pregnant. It has something to do with a time when our kind almost went extinct and some elder decided to curse the women with the need to have sex whenever they were most likely to have child. Once there were more than enough, however, no one could figure out how to lift it. We just have to deal with it. It doesn't start until after the eighteenth birthday, and mine was about three months ago."

"Oh," Robin replied.

Feeling the lust that had been building up in her grow even more at the cute look on his face, she urged, "So, can I have the time off?"

"What will you do?"

"Lock myself away before it takes its full affect and I can't fight the urges."

"And if you don't hide before it does?"

"Then I guess I'll just jump the closest guy."

Robin felt a rage at the image of Raven jumping anyone. "Yeah, you have the time off."

She smiled with relief, "Thanks, Robin." She turned to leave. However, the feeling of Robin's eyes on her backside caused her restraint of Lust to completely dissolve. She turned back to him, walked straight up to him and pulled his mouth to hers in a passionate kiss. To say that Robin was surprised would be an understatement. However, that didn't prevent him from enjoying the kiss nor did it prevent him from deepening it.

After a minute, Raven was finally able to reign in her wayward emotion. She pulled back from the kiss. "Oh, god, Robin, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

Robin, however, had a slight smile on his face and made sure she didn't back too far away, "No, I've actually wanted to do that for a while. So, does that mean that you hope to be my mate?"

Avoiding his eyes, Raven answered the question with a question, "What do you mean?"

"You said that unmated women go after those that they actually want to mate. So does that mean that you want to mate me?" he asked with a cocky grin on his face.

Raven was going to reply that no, it was just that he was around, but another emotion took control of her before she could. "Of course, I love you." Raven clapped her hand over her mouth. She couldn't believe that she had just said that.

Robin, however, was grinning like the Cheshire cat now. He pulled her back up to him, took her chin in his hand and pulled it up to meet his lips in a sweet, chaste kiss. "I'm glad, because I love you, too."

Raven looked up at him with shimmering eyes. She flung herself into his embrace and kissed him in a kiss only seen in the movies, a kiss of true love. Although, that kiss of true love quickly turned into a kiss of true lust. By the time they pulled apart, they were both panting. Raven knew if she didn't leave soon, she was going to do all the dirty things to him that were currently going through her head.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Robin asked, suggestively, as he held her close enough to feel his erection. Raven resisted the urge to grind into him, barely.

"Yes, I don't want to do that until I am mated."

"Well, I don't want to share you, so I guess we'll just have to do that, get mated."

"Possessive, aren't we?" Raven laughed. The look on his face made her stop short, "You're actually serious, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am."

"No, I won't mate just because we want to go further in our relationship. Besides, we just got together now. It wouldn't be right. Plus, Mating is forever. There is no way out of it."

"Good, I'm glad," Robin told the dark enchantress, "I wouldn't want it any other way. Besides, we may have just told each other we loved each other, but we have been together for a long time, since before you entered my mind and formed our bond. I know everything I need to know about you and these feelings aren't new. Hell, the Titans all refer to us as the married couple of the group. Which reminds me, we can make it official in both worlds; we'll get married, too."

"Robin, being married and being mated are two very different things. For one, that bond that we have will only strengthen. We will be able to read each others mind at will as long as the other doesn't have a block up. We will feel each others pain, both emotionally and physically. We may even pick up a few of each others personality traits and abilities. There is no way to be closer than being mates. And there is no such thing as divorce. If you mated me, you would be stuck with me forever, even into the next life."

Robin pulled her closer, "Good. You're making this sound better and better."

"Not only that, but your life will be prolonged. Once they turn twenty, it takes about ten years for an Azarathian to age one year. Meaning, if we were to look fifty, we could really be somewhere between three hundred twenty and three hundred twenty-nine."

"So mating you means that I get to live longer, that's cool."

"Don't you understand? It means that you will watch everyone you know and love die."

Robin replied with a determined look, "That will be really sad, yes, but at least I'll have you. Besides, you would have to do that anyway, and it's not right that you should go through that all alone."

"Even when they get jealous in their old age that you don't look that much older than you do now?"

"It would still be worth it to spend my life with you, extended or not."

"What if you get tired of me, then what? There is no leaving as I have mentioned before."

Robin kissed her long and sweet in an attempt to kiss her worries away. "I'll never get tired of you, my dear Raven. Your name is on my heart. I couldn't live without you, especially not an extended life span."

Raven looked up into his unmasked eyes, something he only did with her, sensing for any insincerity, anything that would give her reason to doubt what he was saying. However, all she could see was love in his eyes. She took a deep breath before adding what would most likely change his mind, for he had a right to know everything about what he was getting into. "If I were to die from an injury, it wouldn't be that extended."

"What do you mean?" Robin asked.

"I mean that, we will be connected in every way. If one of us is injured in battle, the other will feel it. If one of us were to die in battle, well…"

"The other would too," Robin finished, connecting the dots.

"Normally, yes, all mates die at the same time. The only exception is if the mate has a strong will to live, especially if its for someone, like their children."

"So, if one us dies in a fight with a criminal, then most likely the other would, too?"

"Most likely, yes. You see why we can't be mated. If something like that were to happen, it would be horrible. I would hate to be the cause of your death. Besides, think of how bad it would be for the Titans if something like that happened, loosing both of us would devastate the team."

His arms clinched around her. "That would be terrible, yes. However, it's a risk I am willing to make. Besides, we can make sure the others are prepared for what could happen. We'll tell them about the connection and everything. Then, we'll make a plan for if that were to happen. That way, they would be sad, but still operational. After that, we'll just have to train more to make sure that that doesn't happen."

Raven pulled back and looked into his eyes, "Are you sure?" She asked, his confidence spreading to her. If he really wanted to do this, if he really wanted to marry her, they just may be able to do this and be happy.

He grinned down at her, "Absolutely." She felt a flutter in her stomach when he said this, and it wasn't lust, it was love. He then got a look in his eyes, "Take us to my room."

"Robin, we're not…"

"Not for that. Although, I can't say I would mind if we did. I have something for you." Accepting his answer, she used her magic to teleport to his room. The second he was able, he went and opened the second draw in his desk. From it he took out a safe from which he brought out a small velvet box. He walked up to Raven and kneeled, "Raven, will you marry, and mate, me?"

"What, you just happen to keep a diamond ring in your desk?" she asked, wanting to tease him and make him sweat. She had already agreed really.

"It was my mother's. Now, could you answer the question?"

The mention of it being his mother's brought tears to her eyes. He would never depart from something so precious if he was anything short of serious. "Yes, I will."

He got another smile on his lips before standing up and putting the ring on her finger. He slowly brought the hand to mouth, and kissed it. "Well, go get packed. I'll see if I can find a judge or someone who will do a ceremony this late."

"Wait, you want to get married now!"

"Yes, I do. Why wait? Besides, we have the perfect excuse for a two week Honeymoon.'

"You know, if I couldn't feel you emotions, I would say you were doing this only for the sex."

"Well, that's why it's so soon, but not why I am marrying you. I love you and don't want to worry about having missed my chance to be with you. I don't want to end up like Batman, all alone. Besides, the sex is just a plus. I mean, what man doesn't want the woman he loves to ravage him because all she can think about is sex."

She hit him lightly, but replied with a laugh, "I love you too."

"Good, now go get packed. Meet me back here in ten minutes." Raven moved to leave, but turned back to him. Robin looked at her. "Okay, what now? Do you really want to not marry me that badly that you have to keep coming up with reasons why we shouldn't?"

"It's not that I don't want to marry you; It's just I think you should be well informed."

"Okay, then inform me."

"Robin, you do realize that this so that I can get pregnant, right? That's is what this whole time of the year is about. It is the time that I will most likely get pregnant."

"I understand that."

"You aren't worried about it."

"Worried? No, I'm not. I love the idea of you having my children. The only thing that worries me is the idea of a hormonal you for nine months." He replied, laughing. "But I love you so I think I could deal."

Raven got an evil look in her eyes. "Well, boy blunder, that's where you would be wrong. You see, just like with everything else, the time period of pregnancy is different for Azarathians."

Robin gulped, "H-how long?"

"twice as long, eighteen months." Raven stated simply.

Robins eyes went wide with horror, images of a hormonal Raven and what she would do to him going through his head. However, the images of her pregnant and of her with their children, gave him back his brave face. "I don't care how long you would be pregnant, I would still love children."

"What about the team?"

"We will think of something when the time comes. Besides, it isn't certain if you will get pregnant or not."

"Your little swimmers would have to be very bad not to get me pregnant during this time period," Raven laughed. "However, that would be after when we turn 104. We're actually a lot harder to get pregnant before then. Though that never made sense to me; seems to defeat the purpose in my mind."

Robin just smiled at his love, "Then why are you worried? You must likely won't get pregnant anyways. And if you do, we'll figure out everything then. Now, I seem to recall telling you to go get ready so that I could marry you before you could change your mind."

Raven gave him a quick kiss good-bye before disappearing to her room. She was extremely nervous as she got her stuff together. She couldn't believe that she was doing this. She definitely didn't have this pictured as an outcome of her talk with Robin. She had always dreaded starting this cycle that seemed unique to Azarathians. However, something good had come out of it. She was almost giddy with excitement. She was actually going to marry Robin, tonight. She was even more surprised that she didn't have anything holding her back, telling her to think about what she was doing. Usually, she would never do anything like this. She would never do anything this sudden without thinking it through. With Robin, though, it just felt right.

By the time she got back to Robin, he was packed and sitting on his bed with a broad grin. "I thought I told you ten minutes. I was beginning to think I was being stood up."

"Well, excuse me if I am a girl."

"There is absolutely nothing to forgive in that aspect," he answered, looking at her with more than just love in his eyes.

"Richard, if you don't stop that, I may not be able to control myself much longer."

He just smirked, before taking her left hand. "We have to get going. There's a judge waiting for us with some provided witnesses."

"How'd you manage that so late?"

"I'm Richard Grayson, adopted son of Bruce Wayne. I can get almost anything I want."

"What about the others?"

"I left them a note telling them that there was something that we had to take care of and we wouldn't be back for about two weeks. If there was any trouble, call the other Titans or the Justice League if necessary. We are officially unobtainable. I also left Cy in charge. See I'm the leader for a reason, so we should get going. We'll let them know what was happening when we get back."

He held out his hand which she took, and they were engulfed in her soul-self. The next thing they saw was the courthouse. They looked nervously at each other before walking up the steps. Their provided witnesses were there with a dress and a tux ready. They were quickly ushered into separate rooms to get ready. The female witness helped Raven with a quick hairdo and make-up job, that while it didn't make her look stunning, made her look beautiful in her beautiful dress. Despite being happy about marrying the man she loved, Raven couldn't help but wish it was Star helping her get ready for the happiest moment of her life, someone who knew just how hard to pull, which hairstyles she would automatically hate, and who would give her an encouraging word or two. The man with Robin helped him into his jacket and with his bowtie before the two headed to where the judge was waiting. Robin was also wishing that his best friends could be there, Beast Boy making a joke to help his nerves and Cyborg to give brotherly advice.

Richard finished getting ready first and nervously awaited his bride with the judge and his 'best man'. Thoughts kept going through his head of if she had changed her mind. However, right when he was about to have a panic attack caused by these thoughts, Raven came out. In his mind, she was the most beautiful creature in the entire universe. She walked up to him shyly, and took his offered hand. Their wedding vows went by quickly for the two. It wasn't long before they were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Grayson. However, for them it didn't seem like it was fast enough.

After the ceremony, they thanked the three other occupants of the room for coming out in the middle of the night. They, in return, wished them a happy and loving life together. With that, the two went back to their rooms to change into their own clothes. Once they were outside, they walked into an alley, looked to make sure no one was watching, and Raven transported them to the isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere that she had rented.

There was a large living room and kitchen. There was a fireplace in the middle of the living room, perfect for cuddling up in front of. There were two rooms off of the main room. The first door led to the small office that was loaded with books. Seeing this, Robin smirked at his blushing bride. The second room was a large bedroom with a bathroom. The bedroom was beautifully decorated but not to the point where no straight man could stand to be in it. The main thing about the bathroom the two loved was the Jacuzzi tub that was big enough for the both of them.

They set all their stuff down in the bedroom. The next thing Raven knew, she was in Robins arms moaning as he kissed her up and down her neck. "Robin…Robin, wait. We have to mate first."

"I thought…"

"Sex is not mating. That is a common misconception."

"Oh, then, what do I do?" he asked his wife; he really liked the sound of that, his wife. She pulled him right up against her. Slowly, torturously, she licked both side of his neck. She then took both his arms and licked both his wrists.

"Do the same to me." Robin did as he was told, like the good little submissive that he was… not. When he looked up as if to ask if that was it, she grabbed hold of his left wrist again, this time she drug her teeth over it, just enough to make it bleed and licked the blood. She motioned for him to do the same, which he did. When he did, their scratches healed leaving only little, faint marks that looked like birds, a robin on her and a raven on him. She announced, "Now we're mated. Those markings symbolize whose mates we are."

"That was it?"

"Yes."

"No, offence, I just thought it would be more climatic."

"Well, sorry to disappoint, she answered sarcastically.

"You could never disappoint me," he told her, kissing her. The kiss immediately turned passionate. He held her as close as he could with their clothes in the way. He started making his way down her neck again. Only this time, there was nothing to stop them. They were already bonded heart and soul. She couldn't get enough of the sensations he was sending through her. Every kiss, every caress was sending shock waves of pleasure through her body. She stopped him long enough to take off her top. He just took a second to marvel at her beauty before taking one of her nipples in his mouth. He toyed with it using his tongue while he used his hand to play with the other. He squeezed and licked and nipped with all his might, while his beautiful wife writhed in ecstasy. When he felt that the one was sufficiently hard, he switched to the other, all the while making her moan.

She finally pushed him off her, causing him to fall onto the extra large bed. She straddled his hips with a devilish look in her eyes. She rocked against his already hardened member while taking off his top. She bent down and started to toy with him. Licking him here and there and adding kisses and soft touches, slowly making her way down to the area she had previous been rubbing against. She slowly unzipped his pants with her teeth, making him harder than he had ever thought possible. At first she took his throbbing member in her hand pumping ever so slowly. She continued to pull his pants and boxers down. When he was fully exposed, she began to lick him like it was a lollipop, causing many moans from her counter part. She didn't suck, just licked, pleasuring her man and torturing him at the same time.

Finally, he could take it no more and flipped them so the he was back on top. He kissed her passionately, before starting a path downwards himself. However, he completely bypassed her area of need, instead sending kisses down her legs as he exposed them. When she was completely unclothed like him, he started back up. This time, he paid particular attention to that area. He stuck a finger in, causing her to gasp in pleasure. He then added the next two. He was pumping them in and out. He stopped just before she came, teasing her as she had teased him, causing her to whimper with need. "Please Robin…oh god, please take me now."

Never one to deny his girl anything, he positioned himself over her. Looking into her eyes to make sure she was sure, he entered, causing her to cry out. Robin stopped, fearing he had hurt his lady love. However, after a moment, she began to move her hips up to his, setting the pace. They eventually started going faster, harder. Robin spurred by her moans. "More…More….Oh god…more." When they finally came, they came at the same time. Their cries of pleasure sounding as of the same person, and they fell, exhausted, as they made their descent from what they were sure was heaven. Robin lay tiredly on top of her absently stroking her hair, only able to think of one thought: he was going to love the next two weeks. This thought earned him a hit from Raven which he felt was worth it. He was right the next two weeks would be interesting.

A/N: So, what did you think? Should I leave it the way it is, or change it back to the way it was? Thanks to those who reviewed my original version:
