Chapter 2. The day Kyte and Zelda were born

Drip.

"Beast Boy." Terra's voice was shaken.

Beast Boy walked into his room. "Yah?" He stopped dead in his traces. Terra's water had broken. The nine months had past and she was still pregnant. It had been three days since the due date and now the baby was coming.

The baby was coming!

Beast Boy started to panic. "What do we do? What do we do?" Terra was about to respond when a contraction hit. She started the breathing method. Another contraction hit and she screamed. Beast Boy grabbed his communicator. "Dudes, Terra's gone into labour!"

Cyborg responded. "Get her to the T-car, BB. We've got to get her to the hospital ASAP."

(--- --- ---)

Cyborg brought Terra and Beast Boy to the hospital. Starfire had joined them in the car, trying to comfort Terra, but to no avail. Robin followed on his R-cycle. Valere, Raven, Jinx and Gizmo remained at the tower in case of an emergency.

Robin and Cyborg had been at the hospital for six hours before giving in and heading home. Valere and Raven decided to replace their friends and went to the hospital to keep Starfire company. When they found her she seemed worried.

"Friends, our friend Terra has been in… uhhh… labour? Yes, labour! She has been in labour for too long." Starfire said as Valere and Raven approached her.

"Do not worry, Star." Valere placed a hand on her shoulder. "On average, it takes eight hours for a human female to give birth."

Starfire nodded. "You are probably right, brother. I will wait a little longer before I go back to our home."

After an hour, Starfire left. Raven turned to her husband. "I have a weird feeling."

Valere looked at her. "What do you mean?"

She was about to reply, but something else hit her as strange. "Have you sensed anything from me?" His eyes grew a little wider at his wife's statement. She knew something was wrong with him. "How long has it been since you last sensed my emotions?"

"I… I don't know." He shrugged. "Maybe it's because little Zelda's life force is very strong." He rubbed her stomach when he said the baby's name.

All of a sudden, Raven let out a horrible scream.

Drip.

Valere got up as he realized that Raven's water had just broken. "Nurse!" Several turned towards him. "My wife just went into labour!"

A few of the nurses rushed over to Raven and helped her on to a stretcher. Another yelled out for a doctor. Valere followed the nurses as they brought his love to a labour room. Beast Boy spotted him before he went into the room.

"Dude," Beast Boy had a giant grin on his face. "I'm a father."

Valere slapped him hard on the arm. "Good for you. I'll be one in several hours, as well."

Beast Boy was stunned. "Raven just went into labour?"

"Ya." Valere turned to go into the room where Raven was giving birth, but stopped. "By the way, what did you name your baby boy?"

"Kyte." Valere gave a chuckle and entered the room. That's when Beast Boy realized that his friend had known the sex of his child before he did.

Seven hours later.

"Breathe, Raven." Valere said thought the pain in his left hand, which was being created by Raven squeezing it. It had never really healed properly from his fight with Slade. "Breathe."

"Don't you be telling me to breathe. You don't know the pain I'm in." Raven yelled just before another contraction hit and a terrible scream ripped through the air.

"Push." The doctor said. "It's coming"

Valere looked over at the doctor as the baby came out. A nurse cut the umbilical cord and took the little girl o clean her off. The doctor moved next to Valere and Raven. "Congratulations. It's a healthy girl."

Raven smiled through the exhausted. "We knew that." She took her child from the nurse when she returned. "Her name is Zelda."

Valere and Raven looked at their little creation. She basically looked like her mother, pale, a few strands of purple hair. But, her eyes were that of her father, pale green. Raven saw something in her daughter's eyes that was on a level that only Valere could reach. Determination.
