"Slade, no! Robin…," Raven screamed at the computer screens. Horror struck Raven's face, screaming and groaning at the pain that was bestowed on Robin and Starfire.

'This is my entire fault,' she blamed herself, 'I never meant to harm them, I really didn't….' She watched the screens as Slade disappeared, noting that he would arrive home soon, and as Cyborg picked up a battered friend. As she placed a hand on the screen, tears fell from her face. Her hand clutched into a tightened fist, and her eyes were closed shut, wrinkles on the eyelids. Anger flowed, coursing through every vein in her body.

'How could I betray them? How could I be so secretive, so detached? I am apart of a team, an alliance. I was among friends….'

She heard footsteps, and quickly lifted herself from the chair, turned off the computers, and hustled out into the hallway, wiping her tears. Slade looked up, and saw her looking out of breath and teary eyed. Raven looked to her left, and saw him, staring her down, calculating.

"I am sorry you had to see that," he said, walking towards her.

"See what?" she said, sniffling.

"It was necessary for our survival," he reassured her.

"Our…what? But you…and then. Bleeding…he was bleeding…," Raven collapsed into his arms, head cried heavily into his chest. Emotional she was, and he was going to be their every step of the way. Whether it was for the want of the child, or not, wasn't apparent. He stood there, letting her cry until the last tear.

-xXx

"Will Robin be okay?" Starfire asked, hoping dearly that he would be alright.

"He wants you to go in. That's all he's been saying," Cyborg said, stepping out of the doorway so she could enter. Starfire ran past him, and dropped herself on his bed, throwing her arms around him.

"Oh, I am so glad to hear you are alright," she soothed, tears forming.

"It's just a couple of bad bruises. No broken bones," he smiled, resting a hand on her back. Starfire straightened her back, and his hand slipped down her back, to her tailbone. Starfire blushed, and Robin pulled his hand away a little embarrassed. Robin immediately changed the subject, trying to wipe away the embarrassment.

"I didn't expect that," Robin said.

"What did you not expect?" Starfire asked.

"Marriage between Raven and…," Robin couldn't say the name. His brain could not process the two words together. Marriage and Slade. How awkward.

"It is quite uneasy to think that this would have erupted into something like this. And I agree, Slade and matrimony do not blend together easy," Star comforted.

"Maybe this isn't supposed to make sense, this whole situation. There's the sanity, the fact that it's insane," Robin suggested.

"True. Is a person who is deemed insane, sane enough to commit a murder? Sane enough to marry his enemy and produce a child with her?"

"Maybe, just maybe…." The two shifted in discomfort. Starfire stared at Robin, who stared back behind his mask, and she snuggled up into his arms, as he lay slightly injured, drifting off to sleep.

-xXx

They seemed to happen often, these feuds. Raven always finding something to send him on a tangent, and he always there to forgive her and start over. This one however, seemed to carry on for hours, Raven very eager to carry this grudge.

"I want to go back to the tower, now," she demanded, heading upstairs.

"I told you to not threaten me with that!" Slade said, his voice raised and stressed.

"I have and I will. Do not tell me what I can and can't do!" Raven yelled back, stepping on the last step of the staircase.

"In order for this relationship to work out, you have to stay here! Going out there might confirm another's conspiracy, and we surely don't want that," Slade commented.

"What happens if I don't want this relationship anymore, eh? I want out. Now," she said sternly, walking, digging her heals into the wooden floor, to the bedroom to get her uniform. Slade stood in shock, his heart had skipped a beat when she said she didn't want the relationship, nor him.

"…Raven!" he called running up the stairs, "you didn't mean what you just said."

"Oh, so now you're telling me I can't think. Listen Slade, this was fun and all, but I want to go home."

"You are home."

"I want to see my friends."

"We can have these things arranged if you just talk and listen to me. Your mind isn't clear because of your pregna--"

"Your blaming my feelings on my pregnancy?"

"Your mood swings--"

"Mood swings!" Raven yelled, clearly agitated. Slade decided he would just let her steam, and then at a specific moment, her calmest moment, reason with her. "Don't think you can use my pregnancy as a scapegoat. I am still leaving, whether you like it, hate it, or whatever."

"Please don't go," Slade begged, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. Raven stopped, her face changed from angry to straight faced, and slightly sad.

"Why? Why should I stay?" she asked, turning around, facing him.

"First of all, because you are my wife and I love you, and secondly because I can't live or see my life without you," he cooed, meaning what he said.

"You really…do?" she smiled.

'Oh how these mood swings irritate me so. How am I going to survive this?' Slade thought to himself, dreading another run of convincing himself that she was right, even when she wasn't.

"Yes, of course I do, my love. Don't ever think one second that I don't." And once again, Raven was back in tears, smiling in happiness that he loves her, and crying because she feels incredibly stupid.

"Oh how could I have doubted you or your love?" Raven cried, running into his arms.

"I don't know, and don't particularly care. But as long as you know I will never leave your side, than my life goal is achieved." Raven smiled.

'What about the plan? That's a life goal.'

-xXx

"Dude!" Beast Boy yelled as he entered the room where Robin and Starfire lay, on the same bed, "at least put up a do not disturb sign or something!" Robin and Starfire jumped up in surprise.

"Nothing was going on!" Robin protested.

"We just fell on sleep, that is all!" Starfire yelled to back up his statement.

"Fell on sleep?" Beast Boy questioned.

"Fell asleep, Beast Boy," Robin clarified. Starfire blushed at another mishap at trying to speak the English language.

"Oh. Whatever. Cyborg just got the door. Pizza is here," Beast Boy informed the two.

"I will retrieve two slices for friend Robin!" Starfire said, speeding out of the room. Beast Boy and Robin looked at each other with wide eyes.

"She's like obsessed with you or something," Beast Boy commented, "and so are you with her, that is."

"She cares, that is all."

"Yah think something more will happen?"

"I hope so," Robin mumbled.

"What?"

"I don't know."

"Oh. Well, rest up fast. We can't fight with two people missing from the team."

"Tomorrow I will be back in action," comforted Robin.

"Good." Beast Boy walked back into the doorway, and Starfire knocked into him, pushing him into the frame.

"Oww!" he yelled.

"Sorry," she quickly said, handing Robin his pizza. Beast Boy sighed, and walked out of the room, leaving the two alone again.

"Well I guess it's just you and me buddy," Cyborg said, turning on Game Station.

"Yah, the only two sane ones left," Beast Boy sighed.

"Want to play?" Cyborg asked, handing him the control.

"I am so going to beat you this time!"

"No you ain't!"

"Watch me!"

"Loose? Oh come on Beast Boy I could so kick your--BOOYA!" Beast Boy frowned as Cyborg beat him once again.

-xXx

"I want to see them today," Raven said, waddling down the stairs, the child inside seven months young. Slade looked at her, as much as he respected and loved her, he loathed when they came into his house. "The last time I saw them I didn't have to walk like this," she continued. Slade smiled at her comment.

"I will contact them in a minute," he said tinkering with a device he had in his hand, walking toward the kitchen."

"Last time you waited until it was nearly dark," Raven reminded him, hands on her hips.

"This time that will not happen, I assure you."

"I know you have a rather big distaste for my friends and teammates, but I want to see them, and that should be a good enough reason for you."

"And it is, do not freight. As soon as I give the call, they will be here within five minutes. Go get ready what you must," Slade said, assuring her that he was going to make the call.

"I know, which is why I made a lot of food yesterday," Raven said smiling.

"I was wondering why you were cooking food for an army, well more like a bunch of hormonal teen--"

"They are young men and woman now, all expect Beast Boy who's just under eighteen."

"So the Teen Titans have grown up?" he mused, a sarcastic look plastered on his face.

"Oh be quiet and make the call," she slightly commanded him. Slade walked into the room with the many televisions and located a small communicator which contacted Robin on.

"Oh shit!" Slade gasped looking for his mask frantically.

-xXx

Robin opened up his ringing communicator to what looked like an unstable camera.

"Who the?" Robin asked, trying to follow the motions of the unstable scenes.

"Who is it?" Starfire asked, interested in Robin's confused expressions.

"I'm not really all that sure," Robin said honestly. After Starfire's shrug of 'who knows', the camera stopped moving, and it was faced upward toward a dark ceiling. Then static.

"I guess it was no one important," thought Robin, closing the device, going right back to defeating Beast Boy at another round of Game Station.

-xXx

"Oh how humiliating," Slade said, placing the mask on, covering the man that he only let Raven see. He reached Robin's communicator again, eager to hear what he had to say about the oddity of the last caller.

"Slade…. What is it that you want this time?" Robin said harshly from the other end.

-xXx

The other three stopped what they were doing when they heard the name. They all huddled around Robin to see the screen.

"It is not what I want. Raven wants your presence here, as soon as possible."

-xXx

"Are you sure this is not a trick?"

-xXx

"If it was, would I tell you? Now come, or face the wrath of your friend," Slade said, disconnecting the call. Was he going to hide from them, or this time around was he going to fess up and respect them on this neutral soil?

-xXx

"Raven wants us as guests?" Starfire cried with happiness, "oh how exciting! We have not seen her for some time!"

"It feels like months," Beast Boy added

"That's because it has been months you nitwit," Cyborg teased.

"That would explain it," Robin said joining in on the fun.

"Should we bring fine foods to eat? I have learned that when you are invited to someone else's home, it is only courtesy that you bring a dish," Starfire stated.

"What is there to bring?" Cyborg asked.

"Tofu!" Beast Boy said, happily.

"No! Not that. I don't think that is the kind of dish you would want to bring to someone's house. No one would eat it," Robin sighed.

"I eat it," Beast Boy defended himself.

"But you are the only one," Starfire pointed out, "you are supposed to bring a dish that everyone would enjoy, not just the bringer."

"In that case, we bring a couple of pizzas," Cyborg said.

"I'm sure she has a lot of food for us. Let's just go, and if she needs anything, we can go out and get it," Robin suggested.

-xXx

"Of course you're going to stay with me! Oh come on Slade! We are not fighting, or anything. Just change into uniform or something. Anything to make you more comfortable," Raven said, pleading for his presence.

"The only way I would be comfortable in my home with them is if they were locked up in cages. Preferably dead, but I think cages will do," Slade partially joked.

"Ha ha, very funny. They're going to be here soon, go get ready," she started shooing him away.

-xXx

Robin held up a fist to the front door, a little nervous to the events that were awaiting him to catch up to.

"Oh please, the suspense is killing me. Knock on the door," Starfire said, twiddling her thumbs, obviously nervous.

"Okay, okay," he said, tapping his knuckles firmly on the door.

"Yeah, looks like they aren't home, let's go," Beast Boy said turning around. Cyborg grabbed his shoulder, and twirled him around to face the door.

"Not so fast little man."

The door opened, and a purpled haired, pregnant, young woman opened the door.

"Oh hello friend, Raven," Starfire said, engulfing her in a hug, "we did miss you so."

"It is nice to see you to," Raven said, waiting patiently for Starfire to break the hug, "why don't you guys come in."

"So I see you've got a new look?" asked Beast Boy.

"Yeah, the uniform doesn't fit. I'm not as skinny as I used to be," she joked, " so I take Slade's clothing, sometimes."

"What about the other times?" Cyborg asked.

"I use my cape and an oversized shirt," Raven said embarrassedly.

"Well anyways. I'm hungry where's the food?" Cyborg asked.

"Oh, follow me," she said, walking towards the kitchen, Robin closing the door behind him. He felt on the edge, as if someone was watching him from afar, or above.

-xXx

Slade watched from the stairwell all that was going on, and glared profusely. He hated, loathed, and despised them being in his dwelling, especially after the last mess they left for him to clean. Even though it was pleasing to thrown Robin from a building, he usually didn't have to clean up the mess.

"May it be in Raven's favor today," Slade said, wishing, "so I do not just rip them apart ." Slade walked down the stairs, quiet, and careful not to make any noise, as he approached his wife and her friends.

-xXx

The five Titans were reunited once again, only the setting quite different, and their emotions blown into proportions no one thought they could reach. Robin was the most quiet, the most alert. He knew the last time he was here, Slade was not. But this time, he seemed to be watching, computing.
"Where's Slade?" Robin finally asked, very random towards the conversation. Raven looked up, the smile still heavy on her face from the previous joke.
"He should be down soon. Don't get to antsy, Robin," Raven remarked. Robin sighed, moving his position on the couch, obviously nervous.
"So how have things been these past months with him?" Beast Boy asked.
"Now that is not very--" Starfire started, but was cut off by Raven.
"Things are great. I couldn't ask for better because this life is the best." Beast Boy scowled. His eyes shifted, locking on certain locations, taking in information. He noticed the wedding band on her left ring finger.
"Was it beautiful, was it all you could have imagined it to be?" Beast Boy asked, still staring at the ring.
"What do you mean?" Raven asked, confused.
"The wedding, was it grand?" Raven looked at Beast Boy, with sad, forgiving eyes. She knew that he was still uneasy about it. She nervously twirled the ring around her finger as the memories flowed back. She was relieved that this scene was no longer a thorn in her side when she remembered it, when she relived it….

The temperature of the room was staggering, and the two lay in the sweat soaked sheets of the bed. The sheets stuck to the form of their body, as they retreated to the outside of the bed, hopefully finding a cooler area to rest on. Raven looked exhausted, out of breath, and dazed. How could someone be so wicked, and produce something so…grand. She knew things were different now, now matter how you arrange it. Raven blinked, several times, frantically thinking that she went blind, when she touched her face, and remembered the rag she put on. She could see a little light, but not so much so you could see features.

"No, do not pull it off yet," Slade said, his hand gently on her arm, "no need to see yet."

"What? I--"

"Do you care for me?" he asked, his voice bursting with wonder.

"I would tend to your every need," Raven said, feeling his presence getting closer to her back.

"Do you think we could spend the rest of our lives together?" Raven paused at the question.

'What is on his mind?' she pondered.

"I think we could spend eternity together."

'What? This sounds like an…oh crap,' Slade's feared.

"Then perhaps a chance for a marriage to you is acceptable?" Slade asked. Raven's heart skipped a few rhythms, and her heart lurched open, her sternum felt as if it cracked. The silence was slowly tearing his heart apart, as he saw her motionless, as if dead. He focused in closer, and saw her breathing very lightly.

"I don't know what to say," she finally said breaking the silence, "but yes!"

The pressure seemed to disappear, his heart light. He inched toward her, and planted several kisses on her neck, thanking her for that one word. The two fell, into a deep sleep, the most pleasurable and rewarding sleep the two have ever experienced .

"Raven? Raven…? Raven!" Cyborg said, as Beast Boy moved his hand up and down.

"Is friend Raven feeling ill?" Starfire said, worriedly.

"She looks spaced-out," Robin said, calming Starfire down.

"She is out is space?" Starfire questioned.

"Her mind is."

"But I never saw it leave her body!" Starfire protested.

"It's an expression," said Raven, breaking out of her trans, blinking rapidly.

"Seems you have triggered a deep memory," Slade said, standing behind the team, who was all huddled around his pregnant wife, trying to get her back into reality. Robin was the first to turn, and his facial features stiffened. Slade smirked under his mask at Robin's change of stance.

"Mind if I take a seat then?" he asked, his voice comical, "No, you shouldn't mind. The only person who should be "minding" is me. Minding your presence is enough, but to have it here, is something that takes a lot of concentration and energy." Raven looked disappointedly at him, as he sat down next to her, close. Beast Boy was ticked when he did that, but knew his composure had to be impeccable. The rest of the Titans follow suit, as they sat down in their seats.

"What did I miss?" Slade asked, wrapping his left arm around her, bringing her in close.

"Nothing at all, really. We just sat down before Beast Boy asked me a question," Raven said.

"Which reminds me, you still didn't answer my question," Beast Boy said, obviously eager to know.

"Oh, what was this question?" Slade asked, even though he knew exactly, word for word, what he asked.

"It was about our wedding," Raven said.

"Considering it was Beast Boy who asked the questioned, I figured he would want to know more about our honeymoon," Slade said. Beast Boy's gaze narrowed, and he felt hurt, but kept his feelings inside.
