Well, I got a few reviews from a few authors and I like it. Another thing is that someone post up my first story, "Nightfire" on the C2 list called "Generations" and I think it's perfect. Thanks. Now it's time to give you chapter 5. Starfire now knows she's pregnant, but the problem is she has to tell her friends about it. Will she gather up the courage to tell the Titans the news? And if she does, what will her friend's reactions be? Only one way to find out, read.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.

Chapter 5: Telling Friends

Starfire was back at Titans Tower, but when her friends wanted to know what took her so long, she bolted to her room and locked the door not wanting to talk to them. She was pacing back and forth in the room, figuring out how to talk to the Titans about her pregnancy. But the ideas she had lead to the same thing, telling her friends the truth. This made her sick to her stomach cause if she told them the truth, they would think of her as something different. She stopped pacing and looked at the full-length mirror. She thought that maybe she can keep this a secret. But that was a bad, because what she saw in the full-length mirror was her pregnant stomach growing from two weeks to a full nine months, and her clothes turning into a mantry dress. She turned her head away and closing her eyes, not wanting to see herself on her reflection but when she looked back at the mirror, she saw her old self instead of an extremely pregnant woman. She approaches her pink circular bed, sat on it, and put her hands on her face, not knowing what to do.

Starfire: "Oh, I don't know what to do. If I tell my friends about this, what would they think? Will they still treat me like a friend, or will they be mad at me and kick me out? Even if I do keep this pregnancy a secret, my unborn child will continue to grow in my stomach and they'll notice it. What am I to do?"

She was under deep thought for some time when she remembered what Robin once said to her before he died, "I just want you to be strong to the team, me, and especially yourself." After minutes of thinking, she finally made her decision.

Starfire: "No, Robin won't like to see me weak, even after death. I have to be strong for myself. I've made my choice, I will tell my friends. But the problem is, how am I going to say it?"

Suddenly, the alarm was ringing through out the entire tower, which made Starfire jump to her feet. It was then Beast Boy was knocking on Star's door on the other side.

Beast Boy: "Yo Starfire! Put the pedal to the metal! We gotta go!"

Starfire was completely scared when she heard Beast Boy. She doesn't want to go into battle, for she doesn't want to hurt the child inside her. She quickly thought up a good lie.

Starfire: "I'm feeling rather ill now. Please proceed without me."

With that, the team left, leaving Starfire behind.

Forty-five minutes later, Starfire was in the living room, washing dishes after eating for her and the unborn baby. The team was away for a while so she had some time to think about what to say. All her time eating she came up with a way on how to say it. It's not going to be easy, but she has to do it. Just as she was putting the last dish in the dishwasher, the Titans entered the living room, feeling a little bruised up.

Cyborg: "Ah man… Who would've thought that Cinderblock would hit so hard?"

Terra: "Tell me about it. How many times would that blockhead would escape prison and wreaks havoc?"

Raven: "At least he's more destructive then you once were."

Terra glared at Raven with a vain popping out of her head.

LM: "Still, it would've been a lot quicker if we had Starfire with us. She would've shot a star bolt at the support beam and make the abandoned department store collapsed below him. That would've been the ultimate equalizer there. I can't wait to have a word with her."

Beast Boy: "Well you can talk to her now cause here she is."

The Titans saw Starfire leaning on the circular table.

Cyborg: "There you are girl? What happened to you?"

Beast Boy: "Yeah… Why did you leave to your room in a real hurry?"

Raven: "And why aren't you wearing your uniform?"

LM: "You better have a good explanation for this Star."

Starfire knew her time is now and she doesn't want to wait another minute.

Starfire: "Friends, I would wish to have the talk of seriousness. You mind?"

The team looked at each other and was surprised to what Star said. Everyone knew Starfire was a cheerful, innocent, naïve girl that cared for her friends. She was never serious in her life except for the whole Blackfire incident on both Earth and Tamaran. They all decided to sit on the curved sofa and looked at Starfire.

Cyborg: "Well Star, what's up?"

Star sighed.

Starfire: "Well, how am I going to put this? You know we are friends correct?"

Terra: "Right…"

Starfire: "And as friends, we can trust each other on any secret so hard that it's impossible to say it?"

Raven: "O.K. what are you talking about?"

Starfire: "Well I guess I should tell you right now. Remember this morning I want to journey to the Mall of Shopping alone?"

They all nodded.

Starfire: "Well, I did the lying and went to the doctor to see what's wrong with me?"

Cyborg: "Hold up. Why didn't you bring one of us to the hospital with you?"

Starfire: "Because you will feel worried about me and scared that you will think it might be serious. As I was saying, the doctor put me under this strange testing machine that scanned my body. When the doctor gave me the result, he found something quite shocking and disturbing."

Terra: "Well tell us. What is it?"

Starfire swallowed lightly and knows that it's now or never.

Starfire: Friends "I- I'm- I'm pregnant."

And just like that, a silence filled the entire living room. The Titans were in complete shock after hearing the news that they remained silent for what seems to be like a long time. Then LM started to say something but was stuttering a little bit.

LM: "Wha- What?"

Starfire: "I'm bearing a bumgorf, a child."

Cyborg: "You're serious! How did this happen?"

Starfire turned her head away and a few tears were coming down her cheek.

Starfire: "Before Robin died; I told you that Robin was showing me some of his Earth custom in his room. I did the lying on that too. You see in Robin's room, we did the making out."

Again, another silence swept through out the place, leaving the Titans completely speechless.

Raven: "Whoa…"

LM: "Damn, that's some custom."

Cyborg: "So let us get this straight. You'd had sex with Robin the same night Robin died and you didn't know you had a baby until now."

Starfire slowly nodded.

Beast Boy: "Dude, I never thought about that. I mean you guys are teenagers, how can you two have sex so early? I know you should marry first before you can-"

Raven: "Beast Boy! They confessed their love for one another, before Robin's death. I know, she told me everything about it. I'm her best friend, I should know. But I didn't know that she would have a baby in the first place."

Cyborg: "So you're pregnant. And with Robin gone that makes you a-"

Starfire: "Single mother. I know. The doctor told me everything about this."

Cyborg: "So how long until your due date?"

Starfire: "Well I'm two weeks, so this will take about over eight more earth months. And I'm going to suffer some contractions throughout the months and I won't fight crime until the tenth month."

Starfire suddenly started crying so hard that it's impossible to talk now. She told her friends the truth and now she thinks they truly hate her. She then got up from the table and left her friends sitting there completely confused. Cyborg then stood up from his seat and looked at Starfire walking away.

Cyborg: "Yo Star, where are you going?"

Starfire: "I'm sorry. I said too much. I didn't really mean to. I believe you're upset about it and want me out. I think it's best I should leave now, start a new life. We are friends, but I think you would be better off without a pregnant Starfire."

Cyborg: "And where will you go?"

Starfire: "I don't know and I don't care. I just want to go far away from here as possible. To get away from my friends that truly hate me."

Cyborg: "But Star, we don't hate you."

Starfire stopped inches from the exit after we heard the news. She then turned around and looked at the team who was approaching her.

Starfire: "You don't?"

Cyborg: "We don't. We're quite proud of you being pregnant and you were brave when you told us the truth. I mean just cause we're shocked doesn't mean we hate you. Like you said before, as friends we can trust each other."

Starfire: "Still, with Robin gone this child won't have a father and-"

LM: "Star, Robin told me once that the Teen Titans is more then just a team, it's a family. And as a family, we stay together and help each other out on anything."

Beast Boy: "LM's right. We can't let our family be apart, no matter what. And it's about time this family has a new member."

Raven: "True, and with you being pregnant we'll take care of you with anything you need."

Starfire's face truly brightened when she heard her friends say those things.

Starfire: "You really mean it?"

Terra: "Of course Starfire, and that's a promise."

Starfire then smiled and have tears of joy. Then without warning, she gave her teammates a big, heart warming, bone crushing hug.

Starfire: "Oh thank you friends! Now I won't have to feel worry or scared or unhappy. You guys have made me day the most wondrous day of my life."

Beast Boy: "Uh… Star, baby on board. Remember?"

Starfire realized that she doesn't want to hurt the baby inside her. She quickly let go of the hug so the Titans catched their breaths. Starfire looked embarrassed as she put her hand behind her head and fakely smiled with a sweat drop coming down the side of his head.

Starfire: "Sorry… Guessed I did the carrying away."

LM: "Yeah well be more careful next time, especially with a child inside you.

LM looked at the team, thinking about what to do next.

LM: "So what are we suppose to do with Star's pregnancy."

Raven: "I think it's best we take turns to take care of her once a day and if she has a contraction, we have to take care her."

Terra: "And what about if she gets to her due date. Which hospital are we going to take her?"

Cyborg: Probably the closest. I know a place a few miles away from here. I'll give them the call about our little problem.

Beast Boy: "What about food? Does this mean we have to carry twice as much then before?"

While they were talking, Starfire was quite pleased of what her friends are doing. Now she won't have to feel guilty or afraid. She will never leave or start a new life somewhere. She knows the Titans Tower is her true home, the Titans are her family, and with her baby coming, it's clear that she's going to have a bright and cheerful future ahead of her.

End of Chapter 5. It's short but at least I didn't put too many details. On the next chapter, Starfire's baby shower and an unexpected surprise. What is it? Well you have to wait for my next update to find out. Please Review.
