Hey, it's me. I know it's my latest update yet, and I'm sorry for the wait. Anyway, here's chapter 11
disclaimer: I own nothing. QUIT MAKING ME FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!!!!
Robin woke up the next day feeling much better than he had felt in 6 months. Bruce and Alfred knew, they finally knew. And, they took it pretty well. Now, he had nothing to worry about. He yawned and stretched his arms. He looked at his calendar, December 15th, his birthday. He smiled to himself and got up. 18, he was still too young to drink, but at least he could vote. After getting dressed, combing hair and etc. he walked downstairs to have breakfast. He was surprised to see no one there. 'Hmm..maybe they ARE mad about the whole pregnant thing.' Robin thought to himself.
He looked into the refridgerator and seeing tht there was not much, decided to go out for breakfast. He was about to leave when he heard someone coming down the stairs. He smiled when he saw it was Starfire. "Morning. Where's my birthday present?" Robin greeted.
Starfire smirked. "Your present is my presence." She answered as she walked over to him. He fake glared at her and she giggled. She then gave him his real present. It was wrapped in red, yellow, and green wrapping paper. He smiled at the colors and then opened it. It was a watch. He held back a chuckle since he knew how sensitive Starfire was, especially now.
He smiled at her. "It's great. Thank you." Robin said.
Starfire beamed. "I welcome you!" she said happily. "So, what's for breakfast?" She asked.
He raised an eyebrow. "You want me to make breakfast on MY birthday?" He asked jokingly.
Starfire giggled. "Well, I would cook, but I should really stay off my feet as much as possible since I am pregnant." She said.
Robin rolled his eyes. "Why don't we just go out to breakfast." He suggested.
"Agreed." Starfire said. Robin took her to his favorite restaurant in Gotham, a place called Penelope's Pancakes. (yeah, I know it's lame. Sue me.)
They walked inside and instantly the warm smell of coffee and pancakes greeted them. Robin led Starfire to a small table in the back of the small restaurant. They both looked at their menus. Soon, a waitress came to their tables. "Welcome to Penelope's, may I take your order?" The waitress, who's name tag read Mae asked.
"I'll get a medium coffee and pancakes." Robin said. Starfire was still trying to make up her mind. Mae wrote down Robin's order and then turned toward Starfire.
"I suppose I shall get the milk and eggs." Starfire said. Mae nodded and then walked off. Starfire stared out the window while Robin examined his new watch. "So, what did Mr. Wayne say after I left?" Starfire asked.
Robin shrugged. "Nothing much. Just all the stuff about me being irresponsible and unreliable and how disappointed he was. He didn't seem as mad as I thought he would be." Robin said. Starfire nodded. Mae came back with their food and set it down. After they thanked her they began eating in silence.
"What about Alfred?" Starfire asked.
"He wasn't that mad either." Robin said. He left out the part about him suggesting they get married. He wasn't ready to deal with that yet. Starfire nodded and they continued their breakfast in silence.
After half an hour they were both done with breakfast. Robin paid the bill and left a generous tip for Mae. The ride back to the mansion was mostly quiet. When they got there, they walked inside and Alfred and Bruce were sitting at the table. They both glanced at Robin and mumbled happy birthday before getting back to their food. Robin sat down and Starfire sat in the chair next to him. Alfred passed him a box wrapped with yellow wrapping paper. Robin opened it and saw a lot of dress shirts and ties.
"Uhmm...thanks." Robin said as he looked at the shirts. When was he ever going to use these? Alfred smiled slightly and then got back to eating. Bruce passed an envelope across the table to Robin. He always gave Robin cash for his birthday and Christmas. That way he didn't have to go shopping for something Robin would like. Robin opened the envelope and his eyes widened. "Bruce, this is alot of money." Robin stammered.
"Obviously, you have no idea how much it costs to raise a family." Bruce said with a hint of anger in his voice. The rest of the meal was spent in silence.
5 days later
They were leaving to go back to Jump City tonight, the 20th. Robin had been thinking alot lately and he was ready to do what he had to. He got dressed in loose blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt. He walked through the halls until he got to Starfire's room. He knocked lightly on the door and waited. He heard shuffling inside the room and then the door opened to reveal Starfire. She was wearing a denim skirt and a baggy pink shirt, considering she was pregnant. "Ready to go?" Robin asked. Starfire nodded and they went outside and into the car.
Robin had promised to take her around Gotham on the last day they were there. As they drove through the city Robin told her what everything was and they went to all of his favorite places. Soon, it was late and they were about to go back to the mansion to get their stuff before going back to Jump City.
"Robin, why are we here?" Starfire asked as she looked over the railing of the hill they were standing on at the magnificent view of the city.
"Well, it's one of my favorite places. Plus, I need to ask you something, but i'm kinda nervous." Robin admitted.
Starfire walked away from the railing and back to Robin. "You do not need to feel nervous. You can ask me anything." Starfire reasurred him.
"Well, we've been together for a long time...." Robin trailed off, but Starfire's reasurring smile kept him going. "And we've been through alot. Especially lately. And we're going to have a child, and I want us to be a family. So, I guess what I'm asking is," at this point he got down on one knee. Starfire gasped. He reached into his pocket and opened a violet box to reveal the most beautiful diamond she had ever seen, which said alot considering she was royalty. "Will you marry me?" Robin asked.
"I don't want you to feel obligated to marry me because I am pregnant.": Starfire said.
Robin shook his head. "That's not it. I'm asking you to marry me because I love you and I want to be with you forever." Robin said sincerely.
Starfire's eyes welled up with tears and she nodded her head enthustiastically. "Yes, I will gladly marry you." Starfire said, barely able to keep herself from flying because of her happiness. Robin smiled and slipped the ring onto her finger. He then stood up and they walked back to the car hand in hand.
Yeah, I know it was probably one of my worst chapters, but I'm having some serious writers block on this story. Plus, I had the best idea for a one shot and I needed to update this first, so it might have seemed a little rushed. and I barely described anything. Maybe I'll edit this chapter later, but it had already been two weeks since my last update so i'm just going to update this. Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! I'm way too lazy to do review responses though. If you haven't, read and review my one shot, Your One True Love, I swear it's better than this chapter. Sorry about the late update. Please review.
