She lives! Okay, I know that I haven't updated this in awhile, but in the middle of writing Unbreakable, I got writer's block, so I had to fix that. It's amazing what a trip to the movies can do for the dumb thing. So, anyways, the fourth chapter of Lost No More.
Disclaimer: If I owned them, let me tell you, you'd know.
Lost No More
Nightwing woke up the next morning before Raven, marveling her beauty. He smiled to himself. He considered himself the luckiest man alive. To him, Raven was his world, without her, he would be lost. His mind recalled the five years of Raven's absence from his life. Now that he thought of it, he wasn't really happy during those five years. Yes, he had Starfire, but, as it is now so oblivious, he didn't love the alien princess.
Nightwing began get out the food they had brought with them. Raven had told her beloved husband that, yes, Azarath had perfectly edible food, but it was raised on Azarath, therefore it would not be pleasing to their stomachs. So, in all certainty, they had brought Earth – raised food with them. He began to crack eggs in a pan, knowing full well that he was going to be the only one eating them.
An hour later, Raven began to wake up. Nightwing smiled. He had a question he was burning to ask his beloved wife, hoping her answer would co – exist with his. "Raven, honey?" Raven gave a soft moan to signify she was listening. "What do you think about kids?" "Kids?" the not fully aware Raven said, "Kids have horns… demons in disguise…" Nightwing chuckled. "Remind me never to ask Raven something while she's not fully awake," he said to himself.
After five more minutes of Raven trying to wake herself up, Richard decided he had better wake her up. She had promised him that she would show him around Azarath, and even though Azarath wasn't very big, it would probably take the whole day to be shown around. "Raven." Richard shook the woman, trying to wake her up. Now, if you put yourself in Raven's position, you wouldn't be too happy. So, Raven, not being truly awake, reached up and slapped her husband.
Richard staggered backwards, in complete astonishment. He couldn't believe that his wife had just slapped him! "What the hell was that for!" the buffed man roared. Raven, realizing what she had done, scurried out of bed and over to the black – haired man. She gently cupped his smooth cheek in her delicate hand. Slightly standing on her toes, the beautiful empath lifted herself up and kissed the spot where she slapped it. Richard cocked his eyebrow. "That still doesn't answer my question!" he said to the woman. She rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen where she saw that Richard had made her some tea.
Richard sat down next to the purple-haired woman he now proudly called his wife. He silently gazed at the violet haired beauty in front of him. "Raven?" he asked, still staring at her. "Yeah, Hon?" she replied from behind a newspaper she had summoned. Richard noticed the front page had a picture of their wedding on it, with a headline that read 'Arella's little girl is all grown up'. "Have you ever thought about kids?" Raven's head appeared above the paper. Her lips were in a straight line, and her eyes showing no emotion. "Richard, we've been married for only two days. I love you, but I want our honeymoon to be about our love, not our lust.." Richard's face fell. He read it as Raven not wanting kids.
Suddenly, Raven appeared at Richard's side. "Don't think this means I don't want kids. I love you, and I do want at least one kid, but it's too soon." Richard's face turned to his wife, catching her in an unexpected kiss. Raven fell into it, deepening the sign of affection.
Later that day:
"Mother, do you want to come to the beach with us?" Raven telekinetically asked her mother. Arella, even though her daughter couldn't see her, shook her head. "No, me daughter, I must attend to things here in the Great Hall." Raven turned to her husband and shook her head. Richard didn't see though. He felt like his wife was torturing him. Raven, who was by nature a modest person, elected not to wear the bikini her husband wanted her to wear. Instead, she had picked a black tankini. But, the top was fairly low cut, and the suit was moderately form fitting.
Raven waved her hand in front of a certain blue eyed man's face. He broke out of his trance and looked at the woman in front of him. "Sorry, honey, I know I was staring." He said. Raven did the unexpected. She smiled. "Soon enough, Boy Blunder, soon enough." All Richard could do was gape.
Richard sat next to Raven on the bleak beach of Azarath (think that one in A Series of Unfortunate Events). When Richard heard there were beaches on the asteroid planet, he almost fell out of the chair he was sitting in. But now that he saw them, he wasn't really surprised. Raven leaned over and whispered something in Richard's ear. A grin crept over his face as he turned and whispered in her ear. "Didn't know you were a closet romantic." Raven lead her two fingers up Richard's arm, and then playfully hit him. She lightly bit his ear and then whispered into it. "I'm allowed to be romantic with my husband, aren't I?" Richard gulped. Raven was getting… almost sexual. As much as he wanted a family, having sex on the beach with his wife wasn't his idea of a good thing. Plus, hadn't she said it was too early?
Raven chuckled. "Don't worry, Richie dearest, I was just testing you she said in an again normal tone. Although he was still trying to grasp what Raven had just said, Dick chuckled back.
"There." Said Raven, placing a small leaf on a stick on the top of a perfectly molded sandcastle. Richard grinned. "It's not done yet sweetheart." He said. A confused look came over his wife's face. Richard picked up a near by stick and began to draw on the sandcastle. However, he moved so Raven couldn't see what he wrote. Richard moved aside to let Raven see what he wrote. "Now, it finished." Raven gasped as she read what her husband wrote.
Raven and Richard Grayson.
Married 8-27-2015
Together forever and beyond.

Wasn't that lovely? Well, Dick wants some kids. I don't want to spoil you, so only read the Italics if you want to be spoiled.
"So, how about Kourtney for Kori's namesake, and Arella after my mother?" Raven asked her husband, patting her rounding belly. Richard pondered this looking ahead. "Kori Arella Grayson." He said. Raven nodded. "So you're saying Kori for short?" Raven asked. Dick nodded. "I like it. Kori will love it too. By the way, did you know she's pregnant?" "No, I didn't." he said. "Yeah, I think Kori said she and Roy decided they were gonna name him Adam Richard, Adam cuz Roy likes that name, and Richard for oblivious reasons." Dick turned to his pregnant wife. "Kourtney Arella it is."
Well, that's all for today folks. Oh, but before I leave, I want to dedicate this chapter to my best friend Sierra Walker. Give it up for 'er y'all.
Oh, wait I thought of one more thing. I wrote a one – shot called Recollections. If you haven't already read it, I advise you to do so.
My regards,
AZARATHGIRL
