Chapter 7

Beast Boy drove as fast as he could to the hospital and prayed that he wasn't going to get stopped. But Raven was in distress and he didn't care who or what got in his way. She was far more important than a speeding ticket.

He made it into the emergency room where he was directed where to go from there. It took him nearly twenty minutes to make it to the right wing and section of the hospital. There he gave Ravens name and his name to the person at the desk and he was given a room number.

He slowly entered the room and saw Raven, lying on her side in a bed. The room was dark and she appeared to be napping. He quietly made his way in and sat down in the chair beside her bed.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a low voice.

"I got a call about what happened," he said softly.

"Well I don't need you right now, Garfield," said Raven, turning over so her back was facing him.

He stood up and went around to the other side of her. "Yeah, you do," he said sweetly. "And it's okay."

"No it's not okay," she cried. "Having a miscarriage is not okay!" And she turned over again.

He quickly went around the bed again and sat back down in the chair. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Do I look like I'm fucking okay?" she asked, tears falling from her eyes. The blinds in the room flew up and down and then broke off the window. Raven was too upset to care about her powers.

"I meant are you in pain or anything?" he asked, taking her hand. "What can I do?"

"I said I don't need you!" she yelled and pulled her hand away from him. She curled up as tightly as she could and began to cry.

"It's alright, Rae," said Beast Boy, moving his chair closer to her. "You're gonna be fine."

"No I'm not," she wept, sounding a little more vulnerable. She began to really cry, something Beast Boy had never seen before.

"It's alright to cry," said Beast Boy sweetly. "And you said that this in vetro thing doesn't always work."

"There's a difference between it not taking and my body rejecting it two months in," said Raven getting upset again. "I'm just not meant to have a baby."

"Don't say that," he said, taking her hand again and holding it tightly.

"It's true!" she cried. "God obviously doesn't want me to have children. He wanted me to die and he doesn't want my demon blood to continue on."

"Raven, don't talk like that!" said Beast Boy. "God didn't want you to die, Trigon did. And just because you lost this baby doesn't mean you're not meant to have one."

Raven turned her face more into the pillow and cried even harder. Everything in the room was shaking about, even Beast Boy's chair. But he really didn't care. He got even closer to her and took her into his arms, which she actually accepted. She wept into his chest and he just lovingly rubbed her back and tried to calm her down.

"How do you know I won't lose another baby?" she cried.

"I don't, Rae," he said softly. Then he moved her face from his chest and looked straight into her weeping eyes. "But I'm not gonna just let you give up. You are a beautiful woman and you deserve to have a baby. And I'm gonna be there for you no matter what. I promise."

Raven sniffed and looked into Beast Boy's kind face. Her eyes were burning, her nose was running, and she felt sick from the medication she had been given to help with the pain she had felt with the miscarriage. But all of that seemed to fade away as she felt comforted by everything Beast Boy said to her.

"You promise?" she asked, her breath catching in her throat from her sobs.

"I promise," he said, wiping her tears away and kissing her forehead. He brought her into another embrace and wished with all of his heart that she knew how much he really did love her.

Later that night Raven was allowed to leave the hospital. Beast Boy took her home and made sure she was comfortable, and he wasn't planning on leaving. He didn't want her to get upset again and he didn't want her to be in any pain.

"Oh, this is going to suck," said Raven as she got comfortable in her bed and took out a whole folder of papers.

"What?" asked Beast Boy.

"Well, now I have to find out how long I have to wait to go through the in vetro process again," said Raven, looking through the papers. "Which means I have to set up more appointments and all that. I'm sure I have to wait a little while for my body to go back to normal."

"Just make sure not to rush anything," said Beast Boy. "I mean, I know you're on a time schedule, but just make sure to take it slow."

"I know," sighed Raven. "I just… I had all of this planned out perfectly. And now I have to start from square one again. I just don't understand why I had to lose the baby." She felt her throat tare and tears filled her eyes again. As strong as she was, she knew she wouldn't be able to get over this very easily.

Beast Boy quickly went to her and crawled onto her bed. "Rae, a lot of women lose their babies the first time they get pregnant," he said before she could get upset. "And sometimes it can't be explained. But all you have to know is that it wasn't your fault."

Raven took a big breath in and nodded, keeping her tears back. She put all of the papers back into the folder and stuck it back in her draw. She sighed and relaxed into her pillow.

"Do you want me to make you some tea?" he asked.

"Yeah, but I'm starving, too," she said, suddenly realizing that she hadn't eaten all day.

"I'll go make you something," he said with a smile and hopped off of her bed.

She let a small smile grace her face as she watched him quickly head out of the room. He came up with her tea a few minutes later and then quickly ran back to the kitchen to finish making her something to eat. By the time she had finished her tea he had come up with a tray of tomato soup and grilled cheese. She was surprised that he had used real cheese and hadn't gone out to buy some soy cheese to sneak it to her.

"Thank you," she said with a small smile as he placed the tray on her lap.

"No problem," he said with a large, genuine smile. "Anything else you need?"

"Not right now," she said taking a bite of the grilled cheese and savoring every flavor.

"Okay, I'm gonna make myself something, if that's alright," he said.

"Sure, whatever's meat-free is yours," she said as she sipped the hot soup.

"Awesome!" he said and ran back to the kitchen.

Raven had to roll her eyes and let out a small giggle. He really was predictable. She was happy to eat her soup and grilled cheese in peace, though. She couldn't wait to eat and then go to sleep. She was exhausted, she had cramps, and mentally she just needed to let go. She was happy that sleep allowed her some rest from her life.

After Beast Boy had eaten and cleared Raven's tray away he helped her settle in for bed he got her some aspirin for her cramps and then tucked her in. Once she was asleep he made himself a bed on her couch and finally got to sit down for the first time that day. Now he had time to think about everything.

'Poor Raven,' he thought as he snuggled into the couch. 'After all we've been through already, she has a miscarriage. Now we have to go through the in vetro thing all over again. I have to make sure she's okay. I can only imagine how much pain she's in. Not just from the cramps, but from losing a baby. Thank God she's letting me take care of her. I'm sure she'll kick me out in the morning, but I have to remember that she needs to be comforted, whether she likes it or not.'

He sighed and decided to try to go to sleep. He wished he could sleep next to her, to hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay. He didn't know why he cared so much about her. She was beautiful, there was no doubt that, but he knew there was something more than that that attracted him to her. He just wasn't sure what it was.

The next morning Raven woke up feeling extremely sore in her abdominal region and let out an immediate moan. She crawled out of her bed and went straight to her medicine cupboard for some painkillers. Once she had swallowed a couple pills she made her way out to her living room/kitchen area and saw Beast Boy passed out on her couch. It was still fairly early, so she hadn't expected him to be up. Truth be told, she didn't even know he had spent the night.

She put her tea kettle on the stove and then slowly made her way over to the sleeping Beast Boy. He was on his stomach with an arm hanging off and resting on the floor. He looked almost as exhausted as she was. She let a small smile grace her face and she softly covered him up with a blanket.

She crawled back into her bed with her cup of tea and a heating pad on her stomach, to ease her cramps. She opened her current book that had been sitting on her bedside table, and got comfortable. It took a full hour for the medicine and the heating pad to kick in, and once they did she began to feel much better. Physically, that is.

Beast Boy woke up with his face smooshed against the couch pillow, which was soaked with his own drool. He slowly lifted his tired head and wiped his sticky, moist face. He sat up and gave a good stretch. His neck was stiff and he tenderly began to rub it as he began to wake up. He looked around and realized that he was at Ravens. He twisted his head towards the clock on the wall, making him groan from his stiff neck, and saw that it was ten in the morning. He couldn't believe he had slept in that late and decided to quickly check on Raven.

Raven had finished the last chapter of her book and decided to take a nap. Beast Boy found her curled up in her bed, though it was clear that she had already gotten up that morning. He saw the heating pad pressed against her abdomen and the empty teacup resting on her bedside table. He decided to leave her be and let her rest.

Once he had gotten something into his stomach and fixed Ravens couch, which still had his imprint on it, he decided to go online and research what he should do now. He needed to know what would be the best thing for Raven.

He found a great website that gave him all the information he needed to know. He read that what she needed was love and support. The hardest thing was that it said that she shouldn't think about having more children until she was fully over losing the baby. That he wasn't sure he could talk her into, but he could definitely give her love and support.

When he checked on her again he saw that she had woken up and was going to get some more aspirin. He quickly told her to get back in bed and ran to get her the bottle.

"Thank you," she said softly as she took the pills and the glass of water he had gotten for her.

"No problem," he said with a smile.

She weakly gave him a small smile back and downed the pills. Beast Boy silently took a big breath in and crawled unto her bed. Raven finished her glass of water and watched queerly as Beast Boy sat down next to her. He gave her a kind smile and gently took her hand.

"You okay?" he asked.

She looked at their holding hands and then back to him. "I don't know," she said hesitantly.

"Well, I'm here for you, Rae," he said, giving her hand a slight squeeze.

She was silent for a few seconds and then gave him a small smile. "I know."
