Chapter Three
Sudden Appearance
Robin waited beyond impatiently at home, pacing back and forth so many times it's a wonder he didn't wear a hole in the floor. He tried to take his mind off it by watching a little TV but found he'd stray away from the program and go back to thinking about Starfire. He looked at the clock, it read eight thirty pm, and groaned loudly.
"Tomorrow is not going to come soon enough." As if hearing his complaint two headlights appeared as they came up the driveway. Robin scrambled over to the window hoping this wasn't some kind of delivery or something. He saw a man get down and then help Starfire out of the car. He walked her to the door and in the same instant Robin flung it open. The man tipped his hat to her.
"Have a goodnight."
"Thank you I will." He returned to his vehicle and drove off. She walked in with Robin.
"I thought you weren't going to be home until tomorrow morning." Starfire shrugged.
"I decided I was well enough to return home a little earlier."
"Oh. Say what was wrong in the first place, I mean you seemed fine when we got to the bowling alley. Are you allergic to something?" She smiled and shook her head.
"Oh no nothing is wrong."
"Then what's up." She took his hand and led him to the sofa. Upon sitting down she took his hand.
"Robin, I have the most wonderful news." He continued to stare at her bemused. Starfire's eyes became bright and misty looking deep into Robin's. "Robin…I am pregnant." He sat positively stunned for a lonnnnng moment. He blinked a couple of times with mouth hanging ajar. Starfire smiled hopefully at him waiting for a response. After a couple of silent minuets and Starfire was sure Robin was not about to make a statement on his own any time soon she shook her head. "Please Robin, speak." Robin slowly stood up with his mouth still hanging open and gently guided Starfire up with him. He curved his mouth into a grin and laughed.
"That's great." Starfire's eyes lit up with euphoria and Robin grabbed her waist and spun her around. "THAT'S REALLY GREAT!" The two laughed happily and joyfully before Robin lost his balance and the collapsed onto the sofa, Robin beneath Starfire. Robin let out a puff of air. "Wow Star the wind just got knocked out of me, are you gaining weight already?" She playfully smacked him in the arm with a mock affronted face. With a sly smile she snuggled herself around on top of her husband.
"You on the other hand…well you are quite comfy," she said making Robin's chest into a pillow.
"Star if you take a nap on me how am I supposed to go to work, and earn money, and put food on the table, and pay for the house, and bla bla bla see it just starts a chain reaction." She smiled with her eyes closed.
"You will simply do the calling of sickness. Besides you need not attend your duties for several hours."
"Even so that's not really a good idea, you know there's this thing called 'karma', I'm afraid I just might end up with a spontaneous flu or something." She twisted herself around faced Robin.
"You need not worry; I will take good care of you." Starfire's hair fell around forward making a red drape around Robin's head. She let her head fall and they met with a warm kiss. She pulled her head up and Robin smiled.
"Gotta love that karma." She giggled lightly playing with his hair. He wanted her to continue and never stop but found he had to rise. "I really to get some sleep or something."
"I am fine here," she said and as Robin made an effort to get up she tried to stop him and two fell to the floor. Silence passed between them finally Robin shrugged.
"You win."
THE NEXT DAY………..
Robin and Starfire arrived at Beast Boy and Raven's house around five thirty, Robin couldn't get away from work any earlier. They were welcomed at the door by Raven who wore a white cooking apron that she had received for Christmas. Robin eyed her clothing with a nodding smile.
"What?"
"Nothing, you just look really cute Raven."
"So does that mean you'd like to eat out on the front porch or something?"
"I'm kidding Raven you know that," said Robin waving his hand. Raven eyed him expressionlessly and turned to Starfire.
"So Star would you like to come in?" Robin threw his hands in the air.
"ALRIGHT! Raven I'm sorry for calling you cute, is that better?" Raven looked up and thought it over for a moment. A small grin crept across her face.
"For a load of dishes we'll let bygones be bygones." Robin sighed heavily not relishing the idea of doing the dishes under Raven's watch while Cyborg and Beast Boy had font row seats. Raven took his resenting silence for compliance and beckoned them inside. Robin glanced at Starfire and she shook her head with a smile.
"Do not look at me; you are the one who referred to her as 'cute'." Robin followed Starfire in and he took her thin jacket placing off to the side with his. He walked by Raven as she sautéed some vegetables while also checking some brisket in the oven. "Do you require assistance friend Raven?"
"It would be appreciated," mumbled Raven from inside the cupboard. Starfire nodded and Robin wandered into the living room where he found Cyborg and Beast Boy watching a big screen with serious intensity. Upon glancing at the program Robin understood why; it was the top of the ninth in California Angels v/s Boston Red Sox. Robin took a seat beside them although they watched the game with such concentration that they took little to no notice of him. They then heard Raven shout from the kitchen;
"Beast Boy could you turn that down! And I could use some help with setting the table." Not taking his eyes off the screen Beast Boy slowly got up but hardly moved.
"Raven this is why we got a plasma TV-"
"Beast Boy…"
"Ahhh women, geez." He mumbled as he sauntered into the kitchen. He passed by Robin and doubled back with a quick wave. "Hey Rob when'd you get here?"
"Ohhh hours ago," said Robin through a chuckle. Cyborg switched off the TV and set the remote aside.
"Well you know we would have said 'hi' but the game was on." Robin shook his head.
"That's fine…" He paused in mid speech. He put a hand to his temple and rubbed it gingerly. Cyborg leaned forward a little bit to get a better view of Robin's troubled face.
"Are you okay?" Robin blinked his eyes open and grinned.
"Sure, I've just been having this headache lately. That's all." Cyborg nodded guardedly not sure if Robin was entirely truthful. He shrugged it off however merely taking it to be Robin's renowned anonymity. Soon after Robin and Starfire's timely arrival Raven sound the diner bell and they all took their seats at the table. They all laughed out loud as Robin and Cyborg reminisced about their days as Titans.
"Then you flew up in the T-Ship, which you had Beast Boy put back together," said Robin through a chuckle.
"We were stranded on some weirdo planet, what was I supposed to do?"
"I didn't do that bad a job did I," asked Beast Boy gesturing to himself with his fork.
"Maybe not but who really patches up a hull breach with masking tape?" Beast Boy shrugged and scarffed down his meat substitute. Starfire giggled and nodded towards Robin.
"Please Robin, continue."
"Anyway so there you and I are," e said glancing at his alien wife. "We climb on it and after hours of searching the planet we finally find you, Raven." Raven covered her face with her hand.
"Here it comes."
"We find her covered in these little chinchilla things and we say 'Hey Raven we got the ship fixed up lets go home' she looked up at us and through a content sigh she said…'five more minuets'." They all burst out laughing; Beast Boy almost fell out of his chair. Even Raven was forced to giggle a little at the mention of reluctance to leave her diminutive worshipers. Still chortling slightly rose to his feet and brought a glass of wine along with him. "But enough about all that; I think its time to recognize the real reason why we're all here."
"Yeah it's about time too," said Beast Boy lightheartedly. The others laughed while Robin waved a hand at him.
"As I was saying; a few days from now will the forth year our good friends Raven and Beast Boy…" He tipped his glass to them and they smiled and took each other's hand "…will be married. Congratulation's guys and remember your always among friends." Starfire and Cyborg sent them affectionate nods and stood alongside Robin with their glasses. Cyborg raised his up and puffed out his chest.
"TO BB AND RAVEN!"
"Here here," said Robin.
"Klantar!" Exclaimed Starfire. They took a few sips taking a few moments to shine the light on their friends. After Cyborg and Starfire sat down Robin remained standing. Raven eyed him curiously.
"Is there something else?" Robin glanced down at Starfire as if looking for her approval. With her sparkling eyes she beckoned him to continue and he bit his lip with a smile.
"I'm afraid I can't give back the floor just yet, because Starfire and I have an announcement." Raven arched a brow already having a good idea what it was. He took her hand and looked around at each of them. "We have a child on the way." Cyborg and Beast Boy sat astounded out of reality. Finally Cyborg hit his knee. Robin sat down beside his wife.
"HA! You mean to tell me your gonna have a Robin jr. running around soon?"
"Oh well we are not entirely sure if our child is a male or female yet," said Starfire timidly.
"It's just a figure of speech anyway."
"That's incredible news," said Raven. "How far along are you?"
"Our physician stated that I was at least month into the first trimester, however he was basing that on the assumption that I am of human anatomy."
"Oh yeah that's right, how does it go with…your people," asked Cyborg awkwardly.
"Tamaranian pregnancy is a slightly longer process, however I believe he or she will be due close to this time next year."
"We're gonna have to have another party," said Beast Boy with a grin. A content silence passed through the atmosphere. They would each look at each other as though to assure themselves that everything was alright and it was going to stay that way. Robin cocked a smile and stuck his glass out. The others followed suit and they lightly clanged their glasses together. Starfire then disappeared into the kitchen and moments later emerged with a large chocolate cake.
"Would anyone desire the desert?"
THE NEXT DAY IN TOWN…………..
Raven and Beast Boy waited before the empty desk of a travel agent they had hired to help with the cost of their vacationing. Raven remained seated while Beast Boy impatiently paced back and forth behind her. Raven finally twisted her head around to face her edgy husband.
"You know I'm sure if you keep that up a little long he'll have to come on out to tell you to stop."
"We've been waiting here for an hour and a half!" Exclaimed Beast Boy. "If he's gonna keep us waiting for this long he better have come up with something good."
"I will admit I would have rather spent an hour and a half at the café."
"I don't know why you keep going to that Rae its just a bunch of caffeine hyped people too depressed to get a job."
"Poetry is symbolic, it conveys a message. You know, it's supposed to tell you something."
"Well right now it's telling me to turn around, go home, and go back to bed." Raven rolled her eyes from Beast Boy incorrigible slurs." Beast Boy let out another intolerant sigh and stopped when he spotted something through the window across the street. He passed by Raven and stared out the large pane of glass. Wandering what caught his attention so grippingly Raven stood up and walked up behind him.
"What is it?" He pointed to an alley across the street.
"Isn't that Taka?"
"Who?"
"You know Taka from a few years back when Robin and Star got married. Yeah that is her." Raven looked ahead and sure enough there was the young Japanese girl emerging from the darkness of the narrow alley.
"Wonder what she's doing here."
"Come on," said Beast Boy. They walked on outside and started waving at her. "HEY TAKA OVER HERE!" Taka's head jerked around at the sound of her name and she caught sight of Raven and Beast Boy. Raven signaled her to come forward and Taka complied with little regard for traffic. She blindly crossed the street with a sleepy eyed look about her as if she hadn't had a wink's worth of sleep in days. Beast Boy glanced down the road and to his alarm saw an eighteen wheeler rolling down the street toward Taka.
"Oh God Raven it's gonna hit her!" Raven's eyes widened at the sight of the huge vehicle.
"TAKA LOOK OUT! MVOE BACK! MOVE!" Taka turned her head and froze on the spot at the sight of the oncoming truck. Within a split second she put her hands up and the semi smashed right into her. As Raven clung to Beast Boy's arm their faces gradually changed from horrified to astounded as the front end of the truck crumpled up like a coke can leaving Taka completely untouched. The truck bounced back a few feet from the inertia that should not have occurred. Once the noise quieted the last bit of shrapnel fell to the ground Taka stared down at her hands almost unable to believe what just happened herself. Overwhelmed by shock Raven and Beast Boy could only stay rooted on the spot as they also now spotted Blackfire flying over the top of the building which Taka had walked alongside. Taka saw them looking up and as she turned her eyes to see what they saw received a starbolt on the side of the head. With a loud gasp Taka fell to the ground and remained motionless. Raven and Beast Boy ran up to her. Raven's fists covered in dark energy again after years of nonuse. She lifted a couple of mail boxes off the ground pelted them at the purple haired Tamaranian. She dodged them all and locked her eyes with Raven's. For a split second Raven received a few brief flashes of totally different consciousness. Blackfire sent her an evil leer and flew off in the opposite direction. Raven looked after her for a moment then bent down beside Taka. Beast Boy already finished checking her pulse and nodded.
"She's alive, but God knows how. What do you think?" Raven examined her and looked up at Beast Boy.
"Let's take her to the tower. I can treat her here but I'd be more comfortable in a medical environment." Beast Boy nodded and pulled out a cell phone.
"Alright let me give Cy a call." While Beast Boy stood up and attempted to make contact with their friend Raven concentrated on a fine chain around Taka's neck. She reached down and pulled the chain up and out from inside her collar. Attached to the thin chain was a small gold triangle. With a narrowed gaze Raven turned it over and over hoping to find some kind of marking. To her dismay both sides were completely blank and gave no clues whatsoever. Raven carefully removed it from around her neck and slid it into her pocket. As police cruisers and fire trucks arrived to restore order two former Titans and a visitor discreetly took their leave.
Again please don't report me, It's just that I can't help but want to back to the way things were. You have to admit it's a lot of fun just talking to one another, plus it's only polite to write back if someone takes the time to review. Anyway hope you enjoyed this chapter. Laters!
