6 months had past since Robin and Starfire had returned to the tower. They were now legally married and Starfire had turned 18. Starfire had to stay off her feet as much as possible in the last 3 months and luckily there hadn't been much crime since they were a titan short.
The baby was supposed to be born a few days ago, so it was overdue. Starfire's parents had come to Earth since they wanted to be there when the baby was born and were staying in a hotel since Moonfire said that the tower was too dirty for him to stay in. Needless to say, Moonfire was driving Robin crazy and he couldn't wait until he went back to Tamaran.
"Robin, have you decided who's going to be the best man yet? The handsome me, or metal man." Beast boy said as he continued to follow Robin around pestering him about his decision.
"For the millionth time in the last 10 minutes, NO!" Robin said as he tried to ignore Beast boy, a very difficult task.
"Come on man, I've known you longer anyway. And why would you want a grass stain to be your best man?" Cyborg asked.
"Hey! Take that back!!" Beast boy yelled as he shook his fist in Cyborg's face.
"Make me!" Cyborg countered.
As the two continued to bicker, Robin took the opportunity to sneak out of the room unnoticed.
Robin then walked into the living room to watch t.v. Just as he was getting comfortable the doorbell rang. Robin sighed and got up to answer it. And unfortunately for him, it was Moonfire.
"We've come to visit our daughter." Moonfire said. Even though Moonfire and Sunfire were not staying in the tower, they came over often to visit Starfire.
"She's in her room." Robin told them.
Moonfire walked past him and toward Starfire's room. Sunfire smiled at him and then followed her husband.
When they got to Starfire's room they saw her laying on her bed watching some soup opera. She had a box of tissues on the table next to her and was crying loudly as she watched Rebecca die of some terrible disease that Professor Wix infected her with as revenge for dumping his son. (Some soup operas are this corny.)
"How are you doing dear?" Sunfire asked as she sat on the edge of the pink bed.
Starfire smiled at her. "Very wonderfully! Although I do wish the baby will be born soon. It is quite boring to stay in bed all day." Starfire whined.
"And then once you have the child you can return to Tamaran and train the future prince or princess." Moonfire said from his spot in the doorway.
Starfire shook her head. "I told you a million times, I'm going to stay on Earth after the baby is born and raise the baby here." She explained.
Meanwhile, Raven was in the kitchen drinking tea. The phone rang, and since Robin was watching t.v, and Cyborg and Beast boy were nowhere to be found, she took it upon herself to answer the phone.
"Hello?" Raven said in monotone. "Is Robin here?" The person on the other line said. He sounded frantic.
"Um..yeah, and who is this?" Raven asked.
"Tell him it's Bruce and that this is urgent." Bruce said.
"Okay, one minute." Raven said. She then set down the phone and hurried to the living room. "Robin, Bruce is on the phone. It sounded important." Raven explained.
Robin immediately ran to the phone. "Bruce?" Robin said as he answered the phone.
"Robin, you need to get to Gotham immediately." Bruce said.
"Why?" Robin asked. As Bruce answered his question, Robin's eyes widened and he turned very pale. "Okay, I'll be there in a few hours." Robin said. As soon as he hung up the phone he slumped against a wall since he seemed unable to stand up on his own at the moment.
"Well, what is it?" Raven asked when she saw how worried he looked.
"It's Alfred........he's dying." Robin said.
(I so want to end it here, but I'm going to make it a little longer since it took me so long to update.)
Raven was silent and Robin immediately went to go pack. He threw random things in his suitcase not really caring since he had too many other things on his mind. When the suitcase was full he shut it with a loud clicking sound.
Robin then hurried to Starfire's room. Moonfire gave him a dirty look as he hurried past him into Starfire's room. Starfire saw the look on his face and immediately knew something was wrong.
"Robin, what is wrong? " Starfire asked.
"I have to go back to gotham for a few days." Robin explained as he sat on the edge of her bed and took her hand in his.
"But what about the baby? What if the baby is born while you are away?" Starfire asked.
"I'll be here when the baby is born. I promise." Robin said.
"But what is so urgent that you must leave for Gotham at such short notice?" Starfire asked.
"Star, Alfred's dying." Robin said sadly.
Starfire's eyes widened and then filled with tears. "Will you tell him goodbye for me?" She finally asked when she could talk again. Robin nodded and then quickly kissed her goodbye. Sunfire looked at him with sympathy and Moonfire just stared at him without any compassion. He hurried out of the room and towards his car. He threw his suitcase in the trunk and got into the car. He quickly pulled out of the garage and drove quickly towards Gotham with one thought on his mind.
'Please don't die Alfred.'
