Chapter 2

Beast Boy made it back to his apartment with a million things running through his mind. He had a lot to think over. He stuck Ravens phone number on his fridge and sat down on his couch. He had been so excited to see her that day he hadn't been able to eat. He hadn't seen her in five years and when he had left he had had a bit of a, well, a crush on her. So when she had called him up and said she wanted to see him about something, he had nearly jumped and screamed for joy right on the phone.

When he saw her sitting under the sun at the café he felt his heart go right back to where it had been the day he had separated from all of his friends. She had looked absolutely radiant; maybe even more since they had last seen each other, if that was possible. He didn't know why he had developed these feelings for her all those years ago, but it was clear that they hadn't faltered a bit over time. As soon as she came into sight his heart raced and he felt his palms go cold and sweaty.

And he couldn't believe what she had wanted to see him about. She wanted to have a child… with him! Never in a million years would he have seen this coming. He had wanted to scream to the heavens, "Yes! I'll do it, yes!"

But then he realized that this wasn't something to be taken lightly. This was a life they were talking about. He was twenty-three years old, but he would probably be twenty-four by the time the baby was born, so he had to consider that he was a little young. And he was still in college, but, again, he would be out by the time the baby came. But did it matter? Raven didn't really seem to want Beast Boy involved in bringing up the baby, but was that because she didn't expect him to?

And he couldn't believe he had had the balls to suggest that they have sex! He wasn't sure where the courage for that came from. It was true, he didn't like the thought of Raven going through some horrible medical procedures to get a baby. And when he mentioned that they do it naturally Raven hadn't screamed at him and called him a pervert. She had seemed taken back by the suggestion, as if she hadn't expected him to consider helping her at all.

After about an hour of just sitting on the couch and thinking about his meeting with Raven he decided to get something to eat and then think some more. He would have to take Ravens advice, again, and sleep on it. But he already knew what his answer was going to be, no matter what. He said he would do anything for her, and Gar Logan keeps a promise no matter what.

He made it to about two in the morning when he couldn't take it anymore and he had to call her and tell her his decision. He knew he would never get any sleep if he didn't let her know now. He jumped out of his bed, fully awake, grabbed his phone and the number on the fridge.

The phone rang three times before finally being answered. "Hello?" answered a very tired and disoriented Raven.

"Hey Rae!" said Beast Boy excitedly.

There was a slight pause on the other end. "Who is this?" asked Raven.

"It's Gar," he said, his heart racing.

"Gar?" she said, still confused from being abruptly woken from her slumber.

"Yeah, you know, Garfield," he said, shuddering at his own name.

"Garfield," she repeated. Finally it clicked and she growled, "What the hell are you calling me at two in the fucking morning for?"

"Oh, well, I've made my decision," he said.

"Couldn't it have waited until dawn?" she groaned.

"No, I had to tell you now," he said.

Raven moaned and sighed. "Alright, tell me that you don't want to do it," she said, just wanting to get back to sleep.

"What? No, I do!" he said.

"Garfield, I told you that it's okay," said Raven. "You don't have to do this."

"But, Rae, I do want to do it," said Beast Boy. "I want you to have a baby and I want to be the father! I'll help you do this."

Raven was quiet for a moment. "You… you really want to help me?" she asked. "Are you absolutely sure? Because I can't have you say yes now and then in a month change your mind."

"No, I'm in it for the long haul," he chuckled. "Which reminds me, do you or do you not want me to be in the baby's life?"

"Garfield…"

"Because, you know, I was kinda thinking that I could."

"Garfield…"

"Unless you don't think I'll be a good dad or something, or you just want to do the single parent thing."

"Garfield…"

"But, I think it's better for a kid to grow up with two parents rather than one."

"Garfield!"

"What?"

"Can we please talk about this in about twelve hours?" she asked, fighting a yawn. "I know you have a lot of questions and I'll be able to answer them better if I'm actually awake."

"Oh, okay," said Beast Boy, realizing he was depriving her from sleep. "I'll let you get back to sleep."

"I suggest you do the same," said Raven. "I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay," said Beast Boy, smiling at the fact that they would be talking again soon. "Goodnight, Rae."

"Goodnight Garfield," she replied.

"It's Gar."

"Whatever." And with that she hung up her phone and buried her face back into her pillow.

Beast Boy hung up his own phone and finally felt tired. Now that he had told Raven his decision he felt a wonderful feeling filling his whole body from the tips of his pointy ears to the bottom of his green feet. He smiled and dragged himself back to his bed, where he soon fell asleep.

The next morning Beast Boy woke up feeling really good. He had felt like he was just a normal guy for the first time in his life, the day before. A normal, boring guy who was going to college. And he had actually found himself missing his younger days when he actually meant something; when he was a superhero saving the city day in and day out. But suddenly he had a purpose again and he meant something to Raven.

Around two he decided to call Raven back up and he hoped that she'd forgive him for the very late, or extremely early, phone call.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey Rae, it's me again," said Beast Boy.

"Hello," she said. "Thank you for calling at a more reasonable hour."

"Yeah, sorry about that," he said slightly chuckling nervously. "I just really wanted to tell you."

"I think we should get together so we can go over everything," said Raven as if they were drawing up a contract or something. But, for all Beast Boy knew, she was.

"Uh, okay," he said. "When do you wanna meet?"

"What's good for you?" asked Raven.

"I'm free all day," he said.

"Alright, why don't you come over to my place so we can talk," said Raven. She gave him her address and they planned to meet in an hour. Now Beast Boy had her phone number and address. As soon as he hung up the phone he allowed himself a little victory dance.

He pulled up to her condo and let out a whistle in awe. She was living in the nice end of Jump City; the very nice end. He looked at the address he had written down and saw that it was right. Now he knew just how well off she really was. This kid was going to be living the good life that was for sure. He walked up to her door and knocked vigorously.

Raven opened the door and saw her old friend standing on her door step. "Come on in," she said, going back into her house.

Beast Boy entered and closed the door behind him. He had never been in such a clean home before. Everything was white and sparkling, he almost felt like he was in a museum. He couldn't see how a kid could survive a place like this, but then he realized that Raven would obviously make it child friendly once she was pregnant.

"You want anything to drink or eat?" asked Raven.

"Naw, I'm good," said Beast Boy, still looking around.

"Okay, come sit down," she said, sitting down at her table.

Beast Boy sat down and tried to make him self comfortable. He had expected her to live in an apartment with everything all dark and dreary, like her room at the tower had always been. He really was shocked to see so much… white.

"Garfield, are you sure you want to do this?" asked Raven, getting very serious.

"Oh yeah, all the way!" he said with a large smile.

"Why?" asked Raven.

"Huh?" he asked, not really prepared for this question. He had thought that once he agreed they would get right to it; discussing the baby plans, that is.

"Why do you want to help me have a baby?" asked Raven. "I mean, you made your decision really quickly. I don't think you understand how serious or important this it to me."

"Rae, you're one of my best friends," said Beast Boy. "And if you wanna have a baby, who am I to deny you that?"

"So, you really don't mind if I… use you?" asked Raven. "You're DNA, I mean."

"Of course not," said Beast Boy.

Raven sighed and said, "Okay, let's get started. First of all, let's get back to where we left off yesterday. Now, why don't you want to do this by in vetro?"

"Cuz it's really risky and it's not a sure thing," said Beast Boy.

"So is doing it naturally," said Raven.

"Yeah, but at least you wouldn't be spending thousands of dollars," said Beast Boy. "And you may end up with a dozen babies instead of just one."

"So you would rather us… sleep together until I get pregnant?" said Raven.

"I wouldn't be against it," said Beast Boy with an awkward grin.

"Well, either way, you have to make an appointment at the fertility clinic," said Raven.

"Why?" asked Beast Boy.

"To make sure nothing's wrong… down there," said Raven. "I would hate to spend months trying to get pregnant by you only to find out that you can't have children or something."

"Oh," said Beast Boy, feeling a little uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that Raven really wasn't interested in him at all. She did just want him for his DNA. But that was good enough for him, at the moment. "Okay, I'll get right on that."

"Good," said Raven. "Once we have that out of the way we can figure everything else out."

"Uh, Rae, are we gonna tell people about this?" asked Beast Boy.

"Let's see if it's even possible for us to have a child together first," said Raven.

"I hope we can," said Beast Boy.

"Yeah, me too," sighed Raven. "I mean, I only have so long to try and have a child of my own. If I can't make the deadline I set up for myself, then I'll have to adopt. But I really want to have the full mother experience."

"Wow, I never thought I'd hear you talking like this," said Beast Boy. "So when's your deadline?" asked Beast Boy.

"I've got about five months to get pregnant," said Raven.

"Oh, so I better get to that fertility place as soon as possible," said Beast Boy.

"Yeah," said Raven.

After about another hour of small talk Beast Boy decided to head home so he could make an appointment with the fertility clinic Raven recommended him to. He had originally thought that this whole thing was going to be really simple and easy. Now he was discovering that this was serious and complicated.
