AN: I've never owned the Teen Titans, so why would I now? Quite asking!

Chapter 7

The amount of gasps that filled the room seemed impossible. It was as if the whole world had stopped. And Terra just stood there, smiling and looking into Beast Boy's eyes.

"Wh… what?" he stuttered out.

"I'm pregnant! Isn't that great!" she said, wrapping her arms around him.

Beast Boy just stood there with a blank look on his face. He pulled her off of him and held her out at arms' length. "But… but we used protection. How… how could?"

"I guess it didn't work," she said in a giggle.

Starfire began to clap and said, "Congratulations friends! This is, indeed, wonderful news."

"Yeah, uh, congrats man," said Cyborg, scratching the back of his robotic head.

Terra wrapped her arms around Beast Boy again and said, "Just think! You'll be a daddy!"

Beast Boy couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. He felt like he was going to faint and he even wobbled a little bit. He would have fallen over if not for Terra's hugging arms. He finally regained a little but of his consciousness and looked over to Raven. She was just as shocked as he was and was holding her hand over her mouth from her gasp. She shakily put her hand down and he watched as she pushed her emotions out of her, so that she looked completely neutral.

"Congratulations, I'm very happy for you," she said in her plain voice.

"Thanks Raven," said Terra smiling widely. "Come on, BB, we've got things to talk about." She grabbed his hand and led the still stunned Beast Boy out of the room.

She brought him into her room, where he finally snapped out of it. "Terra, are you sure you're pregnant?" he asked.

"Of course I'm sure," she said. "Aren't you happy?"

"Well, to be honest, no," he said upset. "I just… I can't believe this happened. We used protection, we were so careful."

"Well, it doesn't matter now," she said going to him and getting close. "We're going to have a baby and we're going to be together forever!"

Beast Boy walked away from her and ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh God!" he groaned.

"Don't worry," she said going over to him in a comforting way. "This is just what you needed to snap you out of that "break" we were on."

"Terra, we weren't on a break!" he yelled. "I broke up with you! I don't love you!"

"Oh, I know you love me," she said calmly. "We're going to have a child together. What could be more proof of our love than that?"

"But…" he said, starting to feel desperate. "I love someone else."

Terra stared at him for a second. "What?"

"I… I'm in love with someone else, Terra," said Beast Boy.

"Well I don't care," she said getting serious.

"Terra, I can't be with you if I'm in love with someone else," he said and headed for the door.

Terra didn't want to do it, but she had no choice. She had to use the last card up her sleeve. "Beast Boy, if you break up with me I will tell everyone that you broke up with me because I'm pregnant."

Beast Boy stopped and turned to her. "You wouldn't."

"Oh, wouldn't I?" she said going over to him. "How do you think the public will like you when they find out that you knocked up your girlfriend and then left her? You won't be a Titan for very long."

"Terra this is insane," said Beast Boy.

"Then stop being such a child and step up to your responsibilities," she said.

Beast Boy stared at her and felt hatred growing within him for her. Then he realized that it wasn't her fault that she got pregnant, it was both of theirs. But they had been careful, so it must have been fate. But where did that leave him with Raven? He sighed and said in a defeated tone, "Alright. I'll get back together with you."

"Good," said Terra with a smile and she wrapped her arms around him. "It'll be like these past two months never happened."

"Yeah," said Beast Boy sadly. He pulled away from her and said, "Listen, I have to go think so I'm gonna go to my room."

"Okay sweetheart," she said and kissed him on the cheek. He coldly turned away from her and exited her room.

When Beast Boy had dragged Terra off, Raven immediately left for her own room. She locked her door and let all of her emotions out, just to relieve the pressure on her brain. She felt tears stream down her face and she wept as everything in her room flew about, melted, and/or exploded. She didn't care; it didn't matter. What was she going to do now? Could she and Beast Boy ever be together? No, not as long as Terra was going to bare his child.

After a few minutes she brought herself back and calmed down. She had just needed those couple minutes to get rid of all of those annoying feelings. Now she could think clearly; she could figure out what she had to do. She thought deeply and then formed a plan.

The remaining three Titans were still shocked by Terra's news and each had different feelings about the situation. They were still cleaning the common room of all of the glass and such.

"How wonderful," said Starfire dreamily. "Soon we shall have a baby Titan."

"It's not wonderful, Star," said Robin in sigh. "A baby is a big responsibility and takes a lot of work. Terra won't be able to be on duty for the next couple years."

"Poor B, I've never seen the guy like that," said Cyborg. "He really doesn't look happy about this."

"At least they were trying to be careful," said Robin. "I'll have to tell Beast Boy I'm proud of him for that at least."

"I must go make us the Tameranean Expectance of a Child pudding," said Starfire flying into the kitchen.

The common room doors opened and in walked Raven, looking a little tired. Little did they know that she had just let loose in her room.

"Raven, is the news about Terra and Beast Boy not wonderful?" asked Starfire with a smile.

"It certainly was a surprise," said Raven, a bit of sadness in her voice. She walked over to Robin, who was tying up another trash bag of broken glass. "Robin, I need to talk to you."

"Sure," said Robin. "What about?"

"Um, can we go somewhere a little more private," she said, indicating to Starfire and Cyborg who could never keep a secret or any private information of any sorts.

"Okay," said Robin. And with that the two headed out of the common room and to a more soundproof location. They ended up going to Robin's thinking room, where he did most of his investigations. "So what's up?"

"I'm thinking about leaving the team," she said plainly.

Robin was shocked by this and his eyes behind his mask widened. "Why?"

"I just don't think it's really necessary that I be here anymore," she said. "And I know of a town about an hour away that has been having some problems lately. You know, with thieves and such. I think I would do more good there than I would here."

"Oh, I don't know, Raven," said Robin scratching his neck. "Terra isn't going to be able to fight now that she's… pregnant, and we always need all the help we can get."

"Robin, we're not kids anymore," said Raven. "I'm sure you'll be able to manage fine. Besides, I really wouldn't feel right if I just sat here bored to tears when there's a town out there that needs protecting."

Robin thought and then sighed. "I guess it would be wrong of me to deprive a town of safety. And we don't really get all that much trouble nowadays anyway."

"So, does that mean it's okay for me to leave?" she asked. "I mean, I'll still be a Titan, I'll just be stationed somewhere else."

"I suppose so, if it's what you really want," said Robin.

"Thank you," she said nodding. "I'll be leaving tonight, if that's okay."

"You do what you think is right," said Robin.

Beast Boy was in his room, lying on his bed. He couldn't believe what was happening. He never thought that something like this would ever happen to him. And Terra had backed him into a corner. Now he really had no choice but to be with her. But he didn't want to just tell Raven that it was over. He didn't want to break her heart. He had basically promised her that he wouldn't. He decided it was time to talk to her.

As he exited his room he saw Robin and Raven departing. Robin was going back to the common room and Raven looked to be heading for her room. She saw him, but went into her room anyway. He quickly reached her room and saw that she had left the door open. He walked in and her arms wrapped around him. He quickly did the same to her and Raven closed her door with her mind.

"What are we gonna do?" asked Beast Boy.

"There's nothing we can do," said Raven. "You and Terra are going to have a child together."

"I don't wanna be with her," he said, almost crying. "I wanna be with you."

"I know," said Raven. "But we can't be. Not now."

"Raven, Terra is forcing me to be her boyfriend again," he said, releasing her from the hug and looking into her eyes. "If I don't, she says that she'll tell everyone that I'm breaking up with her because she's pregnant. I… I don't know what to do. She's forcing me to be with her, but I don't wanna leave you."

"It's okay, Beast Boy," she said, looking into his sad eyes. "I understand."

"I can't stand the thought of you watching her hanging off of me," he said.

"I know," said Raven. "And… and that's why I'm leaving."

Beast Boy looked at her for a moment, then managed to speak. "What?"

"I'm leaving the tower," said Raven. "I'm going to protect a town outside of the city."

"Raven… you… you can't leave," said Beast Boy.

"Beast Boy, it's for the best," said Raven. "I don't want to see you with Terra, and I know you don't want to see me. I'll just distract you and make you feel worse. You have a responsibility now."

"But... but…"

"Please, don't," she said, stopping him before he could continue on. "It's okay. You've already given me something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. And you've helped me realize that I don't have to be afraid of letting people get close to me."

"Raven, I don't want you to leave," he said bringing her close again. "I… I love you. And I know what you're gonna say, we've only been together for two months and that people don't fall in love that fast, but…"

"I love you too."

"…I do love you and someday I… wait, what?"

"I love you too," said Raven.

"You… you do?" he asked, shocked.

"Yes, I do," she said with a small smile. "Like I said last night, we may have only been in a romantic relationship for two months, but we've known each other since we were barely teenagers. So… I think it's okay if we love each other."

Beast Boy looked into her violet eyes as they began to tear up. He leaned in and kissed her, then wrapped his arms around her. He felt tears creeping up into his own eyes, but he didn't care. He may have been a guy, but he had a damn good reason for crying. The woman he loved was leaving and the woman he barely tolerated now was pregnant.

"This isn't forever," said Beast Boy. "We'll be together again, I promise."

"I know," said Raven through her tears.
