AN: Despite my hardest efforts, I still do not own Teen Titans or anything associated with them.

Chapter 14

Beast Boy came out of his fourth interview that week with a large grin on his face. Evidently, his professors had been spreading his name all over the place and now every company wanted him. There were even a few Japanese companies who wanted his talents. They were all sure that Garfield Logan was the future of videogames.

He headed over to Ravens to tell her how his interview went, just as she asked him to. She was four months along now and was just starting to show. She had made it safely through and she was pretty hopeful that she wouldn't have a miscarriage. Her nausea had finally ended and all around she was feeling much better.

"Raven, I'm home," he said in a very Ricky Ricardo voice.

"Would you stop doing that?" she asked desperately from the kitchen, where she was fixing herself a snack. "You don't live here and you're not Cuban!"

"Yeah, but it gets you all riled up," he said with a grin.

"You just love to play with fire, don't you?" she said.

"You know it," he smiled and went over to her. "I just got back from my interview."

"And how did this one go?" she asked.

"Awesome, just like that other three," said Beast Boy.

"And which company was this one, again?" she asked as she left the kitchen and went to sit at the table with a sandwich.

"The big one from Japan," he said and sat down across from her. "And they said they would do anything for me to come and work for them."

"Does that mean you would have to move to Japan?" asked Raven.

"Probably," said Beast Boy.

"Are you going to consider it?" she asked.

"Why? You want to get rid of me?" he asked with a smile, but he was also serious.

"No," she said, knowing him better than he knew himself. "I'm just curious."

"Well, I'm not sure," he said, thinking. "I mean, I'll probably go for the company that offers me the most money. And if that happens to be one of the Japanese ones then, well, I just may go."

"Wow, you would really leave?" she asked.

"Why?" he asked. "Would you not want me to?"

"I don't really care what you do," said Raven swallowing a bite of her sandwich. "As long as you're happy."

"Well, I can't say that I'll be happy without you," he said, leaning back into his chair. "But, if I have a chance to work for one of the best videogame corporations in the world I would be an idiot not to take it."

"Damned if you do, damned if you don't, I suppose," said Raven.

"Yeah," chuckled Beast Boy. "But I don't have to make this decision for a little while. I still have like a dozen other interviews and I don't have to answer to them for a while."

"Why?" asked Raven. "Usually companies want an answer as soon as possible if they really want you to work for them."

"Yeah, well, I'm not done with my videogame yet," said Beast Boy. "I still have a month or two of work left. And when it's done I have to show it off to each of the companies and then they'll give me their final offer."

"I can't believe companies are coming to you and begging for interviews," said Raven. "Usually it's the other way around. You must be really talented."

"I happen to think so," he said with a pompous look that made Raven almost chuckle. "So, how's your book doing?"

"Fine," said Raven.

"You're so humble," laughed Beast Boy. "It's still number one on the charts."

"Don't remind me," said Raven, finishing her sandwich. "I'm still being bombarded by television and radio shows, not to mention the newspapers, for interviews. I'm so sick of being a celebrity."

"Yeah, being famous by the age of fifteen does kinda put you off of the whole celebrity thing," said Beast Boy.

"No, it put me off of the whole celebrity thing," said Raven standing up with her empty plate. "You, on the other hand, seem to still love being famous."

"Yeah," he laughed. "I do."

Raven rolled her eyes and took her plate to the kitchen. "Listen, I've got an appointment I have to leave for in fifteen minutes," she said as she washed her plate.

"For what?" asked Beast Boy.

"I thought I gave you a copy of my planner," said Raven.

"Yeah, you did," said Beast Boy thinking. "But I didn't see anything scheduled for today."

"Well, I have a sonogram appointment today," said Raven.

"What?" he asked shocked. "No you don't!"

"Yes, I do," she said calmly as she reentered the room.

"Then you changed dates or something," said Beast Boy.

"No, I just didn't write it down in your planner," said Raven, walking away.

"What? Why not?" he asked.

"Because there are some things that I want to do alone," said Raven. "And I knew that you would want to be there for everything, so I left out a few dates."

"Damn, and I thought I was being so secretive," he said, scolding himself.

"Anyway, could you leave so I can get ready?" she asked.

"Sure," he sighed and stood up. "So what's gonna happen at this sonogram thing?"

"The doctor makes sure the baby's doing fine," said Raven.

"That's it?" asked Beast Boy.

"Well, that, and today I'm finding out what I'm going to have," said Raven.

"You mean if it's a boy or a girl?" he asked, starting to get excited.

"What else would it mean?" she asked plainly.

"That's so cool!" said Beast Boy. "You gotta let me come, Rae!"

"No, I don't," she said and headed for her bedroom to get ready.

"But I want to know!" he said, following her.

"I'll tell you later," said Raven. "Now go."

"Please!" he pleaded.

"No!" said Raven.

"But why not?" he whined.

"Because I'm not going to be stuck in a cold room with you watching as a doctor puts cold jelly on my stomach and moves a monitor over it," said Raven.

"Is that all?" he asked. "I'll wait outside of the room, then."

"Then you might as well not come at all," said Raven. "I promise I'll call you as soon as I find out, okay?"

"But I want to be there," he pouted.

"That's it!" she shouted. "Get out!" She turned him around and pushed him from her room all the way to the door. The whole while Beast Boy was trying to talk her out of it, but she had made up her mind. She tossed him from her home and locked the door behind him, forgetting that he had his own key anyway. But he knew when he wasn't wanted.

When he got back to his apartment he couldn't think about anything else. He tried to do work on his videogame, but he found that impossible. He called Raven every fifteen minutes to see if she had gotten home yet, but, of course, she wasn't. He then tried to focus his attention on some television, but, again, that didn't work.

Finally, an hour and a half later, between his calls, Raven called him. He was so surprised that his phone had rung that he dropped it and nearly broke it. He quickly picked it up and answered.

"Hello?" he asked, anxiously.

"Could you have called me any more times?" she asked. "My phone says I have eight missed calls, all by you!"

"Sorry, I'm just excited," said Beast Boy. "So what is it?"

"I'm not sure I'm ready to tell you," she said calmly, knowing that it was going to upset him.

"Don't do this, Rae," he warned. "I've barely been able to sit for the past two hours! Now, please, tell me!"

"Do you really want to know?" she asked, a little bit of a playfulness in her voice.

"Dude, if you think I won't hit a pregnant woman…" he growled.

"Okay, okay," she said. "Are you at least sitting down? I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself or anything."

"Alright, I'm sitting down," he said dropping down onto his couch.

"And don't ever call me 'dude' again, got it?" she asked firmly.

"Yeah, I got it," he said sincerely. "So… what is it?"

"It's… a… girl," said Raven.

"It's a girl!" he said excitedly. "Cool!"

"Yes, I'm very happy," said Raven. "Are you feeling better now?"

"Oh, you have no idea," said Beast Boy leaning back onto his couch. "I'm so happy for you."

"Now I can do the rest of my planning," said Raven.

"Does this mean I'm gonna need an updated version of your planner?" he asked in a chuckle.

"No," said Raven. "Don't worry."

"Now is there anything else I don't know about going on soon?" he asked.

"No, everything's in the planner I made for you," said Raven. "And I have to call Kori up and tell her, so I'm hanging up now."

"Can I tell Vic, please?" he begged.

"Fine," she sighed. "I'm sure I'll end up talking to you later."

"You can count on it," he said happily.

"Goodbye for now, then," she said.

"Yeah, see ya," he said and the two hung up. He quickly dialed Cyborg up to tell him the newest baby news. He was so happy that Raven was having a girl, mainly because if it was a boy he knew he would long even more to be its father. But, it was a girl, so that helped him distance himself a little more from Raven and the baby; but not very far. He was still deeply in love with her and he doubted that he would ever not be.
