Chapter 4

The next morning Raven awoke early as usual, after she packed in Gar's lunch, she washed his clothes, within his clothes, Raven found an empty packet. Frowning she studied the packet and then realized why it looked familiar.

It was a packet that held some sort of drug. Fury burnt within Raven, she was furious that Gar had begunindulging in his old habits. Here she was pregnant and finally clean, struggling to survive on the little money that was there, when he was using it unnecessarily on drugs.

Both she and Garfield had vowed to clean up their act after Raven fell pregnant and Raven stuck to her vow, obviously Gar wasn't as strong. Raven's fury ate at her, while she paced the tiny trailer. Everything made sense now, his deteriorating form, the little money, and his late nights.

Frustration and anger fuelled her, as she stumped down to the bathroom and got her heparin for her venous thrombosis. She removed the enclosed syringe and ripped the packet apart. Her mind distant, she didn't realize the heroin in the syringe. She then injected herself with the heparin.

Raven then disposed of the syringe and marched to the lounge. After a few minutes, Raven was in the clouds, the familiar high intoxicating her mind and senses.

When Gar returned home, he found a very angry pregnant woman, holding an empty heroin packet before his eyes. Before he could say anything she said, "Is this what you think of our marriage and our baby? Not as important as a fix?"

"Rae…baby"

"Don't, Rae baby me Garfield. How do you expect us to survive on the little you give me? We have been evicted. I got the note today."

"What?"

"Don't sound so surprised, with the little I get, I can't afford to pay the rent; the water was cut off a few hours ago and so was the power"

Garfield was quiet, and she turned around and stomped off. Garfield walked further into the house and found his resting place to be on the hard couch. He ate his dinner cold and went to bed feeling guilty and hating his weakness.

The next morning Garfield didn't go to work, it was his day off. He disconnected all the underground connections from the trailer, attached the trailer onto the old truck that Gar owned, and left the property with their home.

They drove around and slept at random places, and soon they found a spot to park the trailer. Three weeks later Gar and his wife were invited to dinner by Gar's boss at a restaurant in the city, when they got to the city, they began walking down the streets. Garfield had to meet his boss at some restaurant for dinner.

The two walked down the large street, it was dark and cold, but Raven refused to touch Gar, they had argued non-stop since she found out about his habit, the stress wasn't good for the baby, but the baby was in good health.

Raven had gone to the doctor a week ago for her check up and found out her estimated birth date, which was in two weeks.

When they finally arrived in New York three weeks after they met up, Raina was keen to explore, but remained firmly at Robin's side.

Having someone around whom she could trust with her life was very reassuring. Even though he was a murderer, Raina knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt her and do everything in his power to protect her. She hugged his arm tightly and pointed to a clothing store. He smiled at her and they went inside.

When they emerged from the store, it was dusk, and they were armed with a big plastic bag. Raina then stood on her toes, pulled her big brother down and planted a greasy kiss on his cheek. He laughed and the smiling pair continued down the streets as it got darker.

Kory walked down the street with Nikki, they viewed all the expensive clothes through the windows and laughed together, it was still early afternoon so mother and daughter had lunch at a restaurant. It's been three weeks after Kory's incident with the group of men. She took off this weekend because she and her daughter were going to go camping with Victor.

Nikki was very excited and after Kory told her when Kory picked her up from the bus stop, Nikki hadn't stopped talking about it. Kory laughed at Nikki's excitement; Kory knew that being alone with both her and Victor meant a lot to the ten year old. Kory looked at her daughter, and just saw her father. She had his raven black hair and a mixture of her green and his bright blue eyes.

She listened to Nikki as the little girl went into detail about her day at school. Kory then thought about her life, when she was Nikki's age, she was used as a sex slave by non other than her father. As it got darker, the two wondered down the large street.

As Robin and Raina neared a young woman and a child, Robin studied the woman hard, she looked disturbingly familiar

As Kory approached a couple, she glanced at them, the gorgeous guy looked strikingly familiar, and the woman as well. When they came close enough Kory froze. Those piercing blue eyes were undeniable. Robin.

Robin stared at the red head, could it be? Kory?

"She looked awfully familiar, and the little girl looks a lot like you Robin" Raina stated.

When the red head froze, her eyes fixated on her brother, Raina turned to Robin. He was staring right back at her. Raina's eyes moved from Robin to the woman and the child. When she heard Robin mutter, "Kory", it hit her like a ton of bricks. The red head looked familiar because she was Kory, the cleaner girl that worked for their family about ten years ago, and the one that had eyes for Robin. She then looked at the little girl and everything came together. The little girl was their daughter, she looked about ten.

"Robin?" Kory said uncertain moving closer.

"Kory?" he mimicked shocked. When they stood a meter apart she flung herself into his arms and hugged him.

"Oh my god, it's so great to see you again"

"Yeah, you remember my sister Raina?" he asked after she had hugged him.

"Of course, it's great to see you. You're looking gorgeous Raina"

"Thanks Star" Raina replied and as she did when she was eight, once again referred to Kory by her second name.

"Oh and this is my daughter Nikki" Kory said introducing the pair to her gorgeous daughter.

"Hi there, I'm Robin"

"Hello Nikki, I'm Robin's sister Raina-Lee, but you can call me the name my brother calls me, Rain"

"Raina could you watch Nikki for a second, I just need to talk to Robin" Kory asked. Raina nodded and asked Nikki about her day. The little girl began talking dramatically filling Raina in about her day.

Kory pulled Robin into ther entrance of a building and shut the door.

"Why didn't you tell me Kory?" Robin demanded.

"It wasn't that simple, I was young and scared" Kory said defensively.

Robin looked back at the object of his thoughts. There was no doubt in about it, she was his daughter. She was conceived when he was fifteen. Robin remembered the night clearly.

"God damn it Kory, you should have told me"

"I'm sorry Robin"

Raven and Garfield were walking towards four people who seemed to meet up. The guy was gorgeous, but looked totally captivated by the red head. Raven felt a tad of envy towards the red head. It's been a long time since someone looked at her like she blew their mind. Garfield normally looked at her as if she were a huge migraine.

There were skidding tires and loud gunshot sounds, before Raven could register, she felt something enter from the side of her protruding stomach, and she fell towards her left onto the hard ground.

There was screaming but Raven ignored it, Garfield was at her side in a breeze. Raven's hand went down and rubbed over her stomach, when she looked at it, it was enshrouded in crimson.

"My baby!" she screamed, and then Gar's voice could be heard, "Raven, you've been shot" before everything went black.

So shit hits the fan, I don't really think this was a great chapter, but I'll leave you to decide whether I'm right or whether I'm right. Either way, Review PLEASE!
