Chapter 19: Nebula's Surprise

A month past and Raven and Nightwing were officially not separated or thinking of getting a divorce and were back together. Their family had never been so close. The other Titans were overjoyed that everything worked out between them. The tower was once again a place called home except when Nebula was around whom now seemed to be bothered by everything around her. She and Jhun were still living in the tower since Raven was not fully recovered and Nightwing had put the kids before the missions, but even they found that Nebula was becoming unbearable. She was even working on Jhun's nerves.

It was early in the morning in the tower and most of the Titans were still tired from a late night encounter with Cinderblock. Raven, who was now able to walk on her own, was carrying Arella to the kitchen to feed her a bottle when she caught a glimpse of Nebula in her room acting strangely. Raven stopped observing her more closely.

Nebula was rubbing her tight uniform against her stomach numerous times as if it wasn't staying down.

"What are you doing?" Raven asked dully. Her voice was like a cold dagger in Nebula's back.

Nebula screamed and turned to face her. "Girl, what is the matter with you! You just don't sneak up on people like that!"

Raven quirked an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

Nebula searched anxiously for an answer. "I'm…making sure my uniform looks presentable."

"You've been doing that everyday for the past week."

"Appearance is very important to me." Nebula folded her arms and stuck her nose high in the air.

"Why? You wear it everyday," Raven asked in disbelief.

"Because…"Nebula sputtered. "It occurred to me that I probably won't be doing this 'save the world' thing for the rest of my life so… I need…to take responsibility for myself now."

"Does Jhun know about this…certifiably insane epiphany?" Raven asked dully.

"Know what, Rae?" Nebula said irritably. "Go take care of your baby! Go do something other than work my nerves!" She scooted Raven out of the room and shut the door. Raven shook her head and went on about her business.

Later that afternoon, Nebula asked everyone to come to the common room to play a game of Mad Gab. She seemed to be in a better mood and everyone felt that it would be a bad idea to ruin it so, everyone gathered around the couch to play.

They all were enjoying the laughs they received as they tried to decipher the phrases given to them.

"Come on Star," Garfield pleaded.

Starfire pouted to him. "I believe that I suck at this game, yes?"

"Don't worry about it, Star," Cyborg told her. "We all can't win 'em all." He looked at his pitiful score of three points.

"Okay, all," Nebula said. "I have a puzzle for Jhun and no one had better help him."

"For me, Nebula?" Jhun asked.

Nebula nodded.

"Okay, let's have it."

Nebula smiled at him proudly. "Chime half ink a bay bee,"

Jhun thought for a minute.

"Can you get it?"

"I'm…having…a…baby?" he asked.

"Bingo! Bingo! You win the prize!" Nebula said excitedly.

Jhun smiled at her.

"Are you happy?" She asked happily.

"Yeah, we won!" Jhun replied not knowing why she was so happy over a simple game.

Raven gasped realizing what Nebula was trying to say. Nebula narrowed her eyes as everyone except for Jhun began to catch on.

"What?" Jhun asked noticing his wife's irritated look.

"You are…" Nebula began.

"…so lame," Jason finished. "Rin and I are ten and we get it!"

"I figured out the puzzle," Jhun said. "What don't I get?"

"And Nebula told me I was shallow," Nightwing muttered.

Nebula sighed heavily suppressing her urge to curse a rain storm on him. "From whose point of view is it from?"

"Yours," Jhun replied making sure he didn't miss anything.

"So…basically, what am I saying?"

"That you're having a baby." Jhun stopped and gasped. "Wait! You're having a baby?"

"Duh!" The twins answered simultaneously.

"Thank you, Twins," Nebula said turning back to her husband. "Duh! I don't know if you had noticed, but I'm a little stocky in some places and everything works my nerves! Went to the store, bought one them tests, peed on the stick, and surprise! The big blue plus showed up!"

Jhun was flabbergasted. "So…I'm going to be a dad?"

"Duh, Einstein!" Nebula yelled.

"Oh…" And with that, Jhun fainted with a huge grin on his face.

"Jhun!" Nebula cried dropping to his side and shaking him frantically. "Oh, boy! Nebulaedon, wake up! This is your wife speaking!"

Everyone began to laugh. Raven laid her head on her husband's shoulder. Nightwing took her hand intertwining his fingers with hers.

"Have I told you that I love you today?" he asked Raven.

"Twice," Raven replied. "I get the point already."

"I don't want to lose you again." Nightwing looked at Nebula and Jhun.

"Jhun, can you hear me? Say something!" Nebula rambled.

"You won't lose me," Raven told him. "It's like you said…we're partners for life."

Nightwing chuckled squeezing her hand and kissing her pale cheek. "Partners for life…"
