Chapter 7: Mom's Having Another Baby!
Nightwing and Cyborg were in the common room of Titans Tower making sandwiches for Rin and Jason.
"So…" Cyborg began breaking the silence, "How are things going with Raven?"
"Fine," Nightwing replied stubbornly.
"Oh," Cyborg said simply as he went back to what he was doing.
"She's pregnant."
"What!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"Yeah."
"So what is she going to do?"
"She's staying with Nebula until things die down between us."
Hopefully he doesn't mean die out, Cyborg thought to himself. "And the twins."
"Will only be here on weekends," Nightwing replied sadly. "Raven and I agreed that they won't be going on missions."
"And who's going to watch them?" Cyborg hoped he would not point the finger in his direction.
"I'm working on it!" Nightwing yelled just as the residents (and the hopefully temporary residents) walked into the room.
"Hey, everybody," Nebula greeted pleasantly. "What's happening?"
"Hey, Neb," Cyborg returned. "It's been awhile since I seen you around here."
"Yeah, I know," she admitted. "It's good to be back. I almost forgot what this big ol' 'T' looked like."
"Hey, Raven," Nightwing said softly. He gave her a small smile.
"Hi," Raven returned. The twins exchanged glances between both of their parents.
"Here's their bag," Jhun said setting a large bag on the floor.
"Great," Nightwing said. He then turned his attention back to his wife. "Raven, how are you feeling?"
"Better," Raven replied vaguely.
"And sick," Nebula added bluntly.
"Sick?" Nightwing asked now concerned by Nebula's words.
"It's nothing to be nervous about," Raven assured him. "It's perfectly normal."
The twins looked up confused.
"Throwing up is normal after fainting?" Rin asked.
"You didn't tell them?" Nightwing asked.
"Apparently not," Raven replied.
"Tell us what?" Jason asked dully now curious.
Nightwing looked at Raven who just sighed.
"Well," Raven began, "Mom's having another baby."
"Isn't that exciting?" Nebula asked the twins hoping to at least be somewhat convincing. Everyone in the whole room knew that they may have been only ten years old, but they were notstupid. This only screwed things up even more with their parents.
Rin put on a good face for her mother. "Yeah! I hope it's a girl. Boys are no fun."
Jason glared at her. "So you're saying that I'm no fun?"
Rin did not reply; she simply folded her arms. "Mom, are you happy?" She looked up at her mother who was wobbling and then suddenly collapsed. Jhun caught her before she hit the floor.
"Raven!" Nightwing yelled as he ran to her side.
"Mom!" The twins yelled simultaneously.
Raven cracked her eyes. "Like I said," She began weakly, "It never felt like this the first time."
Nightwing took her hands and helped her back up to her feet. Raven stared at him blankly.
"Are you okay?" He asked, too scared to let her go.
Raven nodded. "I'm fine."
"You sure?" Rin asked worriedly.
Her mother nodded again.
"Okay, people," Nebula started. "To the couch! Get her to the couch!"
They sat her down on the semicircle couch.
"I'm fine," Raven told everyone. "I just had a dizzy spell; it's perfectly normal."
Rin laid her head down on her mother's side. "Mommy…" She whined.
"I'm fine," Raven said again.
"I want to stay with you," Rin begged. "What if you faint again?"
"Nebula and Jhun will be there to take care of me. You don't have to worry about me; just have fun with your dad."
Rin looked at her father in defeat. "Okay," she pouted.
