Chapter 11: Panic
Raven was sitting on the edge of her bed crying incessantly. Her heart felt heavy. She could not believe how bad things have gotten. It was bad enough that she and her husband were separated, but for Nightwing to surprise her with divorce papers. That was like murder.
She rubbed her bulging stomach sadly feeling sympathy for her unborn child. "I'm sorry," she cried. "I'm so…" She suddenly stopped feeling a sharp pain within her. "No, not the baby. Not the baby…"
Her water broke onto the carpeted floor and her contractions commenced. Raven gasped from fear. She was two months early. Her baby was not ready to come out.
She screamed from both her fear and her pain. She then heard panicked running up the stairs to her room. Her bedroom door was then enveloped in dark energy and was forced off of its hinges. Nebula, Jason and Rin ran in frantically.
"Raven!" Nebula yelled.
Raven was in tears enduring the pain from her contractions.
"Mom!" Jason yelled. He and his sister ran to his side.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Rin asked frantically.
"Nebula, my water broke!" Raven cried. "Please get me to the hospital!"
"Okay, you just breathe and do not panic," Nebula told her as calmly as she could without panicking herself. "Twins, you got to get your daddy and Jhun and tell them to meet us at the Spirit City Hospital."
"But…Mommy," Rin started. She wanted to be with her mother.
"Do as I say!" Nebula yelled to her.
"Its okay, Rin," Raven told her painfully. "I'll be fine; just do as Nebula asks, please?"
Rin nodded and then she and her brother teleported out of the house.
"Oh, Lord," Nebula said grabbing an ailing Raven. "I'm glad I didn't leave the house." She then teleported herself and Raven to Spirit City.
Nebula, later, ended up running alongside Raven who was lying on a gurney. She was trying her best to keep up with her and the six other doctors which proved to be difficult since she did not want to get in the way.
"We need to perform an emergency C-Section!" One of the doctors yelled.
Raven took Nebula's hand squeezing it tightly. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you!" She cried.
"Like you ever have!" Nebula joked.
"He wants to get a divorce," Raven continued. "He sent the divorce papers through the kids and I got them when they came home. It's my fault, Nebula. My fault! The baby is premature and my marriage is failing." The doctors whisked Raven into emergency surgery leaving a now very upset Nebula in the waiting room.
"That's it," Nebula said. "I'm going to jail after I kill him."
"Nebula!" Someone yelled. She looked to see Jhun and Jason running toward her.
"How's Raven?" Jhun panted.
"She's getting an emergency C-Section," Nebula explained. "She's two months early and in premature labor, Jhun."
"She will be okay, right, Nebula?" Jason asked hopefully.
Nebula hugged him. "She'll be just fine, Jas," She assured him.
Then a huge ball of black energy appeared in front of them and melted in front of them revealing Rin, Nightwing, Cyborg, Garfield and Starfire.
Nebula, still angry, slapped Nightwing on the back of his head.
"Nebula!" Starfire yelled.
Jhun grabbed her and pulled her back. "Nebula, what's wrong with you!"
"What? He's lucky that I didn't electrocute him!" Nebula retorted.
"What did I do to deserve this!" Nightwing asked angrily rubbing the back of his head.
"Do the words 'Divorce Papers' mean anything to you?" Nebula asked angrily.
Nightwing's look softened.
"Yeah," Nebula continued. "I heard about them. You sent them through the twins? You ought to be ashamed of yourself!"
Cyborg looked at his leader shocked. "Nightwing that's low!"
"I leave her for five minutes so she could deal with whatever she was dealing with and then she goes into labor!" Nebula told Nightwing.
"I was stupid!" Nightwing yelled. "I wasn't thinking!"
"Ya think!"
"Okay, cool it!" Garfield yelled. "Both of you! If you two are going to fight, we need time to sell tickets."
Nebula and Nightwing still stared coldly at each other.
"Look, ya'll," Cyborg started, "none of this is helping Raven."
"Yes, please," Starfire added. "Do not fight."
"Humph!" Nebula sneered, breaking away from her husband's hold and walking quickly outside.
"Nebula!" Jhun yelled running after her.
"This is my fault!" Nightwing said to himself.
Jason glared up at his father feeling no sympathy for him.
