I got two more results and some hits from my last chapter. It's not popular like my Nightfire story, but give it a few months, it will become a big hit. Now it's time to give you chapter 6. The team holds a baby shower for Starfire and everyone's invited. But there's another surprise coming their way and Raven is the only one who knows it. What is it? You have to read this chapter to get the answer.

Chapter Notes

There's going to be quick appearances of Teen Titan characters from season five. Though I didn't see those heroes yet in the season, I got the names of them on one of the websites I have on the Internet. Though on the off note, I don't want it to be the final season. It's because that the last episode is called, "Things Change" and I'm afraid that it would lead to the Titans disbandment. I'm still hoping that it won't happen. There is also a quickie prop/character from the show Jackie Chan Adventures. You'll see it later on in this chapter.

Titans Age

Starfire-18 (3 months pregnant)
Cyborg-20
Raven-17

Chapter 6: Baby Showers

Three months later, the Titans were doing their usual thing in the Tower, but they were doing something special for Starfire. Ever since they found out Star got pregnant, they've been taking care of her all month. They showed her what type of healthy foods she should eat, even though Star ate some Tamaranean food, pizza, and burgers once a day, let her exercise properly, and taught her ways of being a good mother. Though she had a few contractions during those months, the Titans were able to take her to the infirmary and comforted her until she was feeling better. Now after three long months they thought its best to give her something special.

Starfire was in her room, brushing her hair at her vanity desk. She still didn't wear her uniform so instead; she wore some of her clothes. They were a little too big for her, but it's good enough to hold her growing stomach for the past three months. Her pet worm Silky was sleeping next to Starfire and was slowly waking up. Ever since Starfire told her friends she was pregnant, it's like the weight of the world was lifted off her shoulders. Now she won't be afraid of anything. She can now be able to feel safe and happy at the same time. And with her child on the way, she has to be strong to not only the Titans, but to herself as well. A slight kick in her three-month-old plumped stomach then disturbed her thoughts. She placed her hand on it and smiled gently.

Starfire: "Now it's not nice to kick mommy my little bumgorf."

Starfire then heard some creature noises next to her. She looked down to her left and saw Silky looking sad knowing that it's no longer her bumgorf. Starfire could tell that it's sad so she picked her up, carefully since she has a baby inside her, and petted it gently.

Starfire: "Oh no, don't think of it that way Silky; you're still going to be my bumgorf too. But you see, there's going to be a new arrival coming in a matter of months. And once it comes into this world, you will have someone to play with. No matter what, you and my child will be my bumgorfs now and forever."

Starfire then tickled Silky on the stomach and it laughed and smiled peacefully. They were having fun when there was a knock at the door. Starfire placed Silky on her bed and approached the door.

Starfire: "Who there?"

Raven: "It's Raven, open the door Star."

Starfire opened the door and saw Raven's face.

Starfire: "Hello friend Raven, what brings you here?"

Raven: "I want to show you something in the living room. You mind coming with me."

Starfire: "Sure Raven, I'll go."

Starfire then left her room and followed Raven in front of her.

Raven: "So, how is your pregnancy going?"

Starfire: "Pretty good so far. Though my child has kicked me once in a while, it's just trying to be comfortable. And I've been eating well after you and the others showed me all the foods that can keep me and my baby healthy."

Raven: "Right… And what about the contractions you have, are they painful?"

Starfire: "Not much, it's just a little squeeze and little pain. It's nothing real serious but Cyborg told me that these contractions would get worse in the following months."

Raven: "I see. And what about that bulge on you stomach?"

Starfire: "It's normal for one thing and I can still fit some of my clothing. But in the later months I need to wear a manatry dress. Raven, why are you asking these questions?"

Raven: "I'm just wondering how your feeling today Star, that's all. Since you are pregnant I have to take care of you, that's what friends do. C'mon, we should get going before the others come."

Suddenly, something dropped from Raven and appeared on the floor. Starfire noticed it, picked it up, and examined it. It looked like a plain white stick with a smooth pointer at the end, and there was a screen that had two lines on it. Seem confused, Starfire looked at Raven, who was still walking away from Star, for an explanation.

Starfire: "Raven, what is this?"

Raven: "What is what?"

Starfire: "This white stick thing that you dropped."

Raven stopped right when she heard Starfire and the fear kicked in a big way. She quickly turned around and saw Starfire holding the white plastic stick. She quickly approached her and was going to grab it.

Raven: "It's nothing Starfire, just something I borrowed at Cyborg's room."

Starfire then looked at the back of the object and noticed it reads "Early Pregnancy Test".

Starfire: "Since when did Cyborg have something that says Early Pregnancy Test and why are there two lines it?"

Rae finally grabbed it from Star before she gets a little suspicious about it.

Raven: "I said it's just nothing!"

As soon as she said that, one of the ceiling lights suddenly exploded. Raven felt embarrassed as she put her hood up covering the blush on her face.

Starfire: "Raven, you've been acting quite strange lately. Is everything O.K.?"

Raven: "Everything's fine, I'm just getting some alone time for myself. Why do you ask?"

Starfire: "Well you've been away from our other friends for sometime, you've been getting sick once in a while, and you always stay in your room for long periods of time. It feels like you've been hiding something from us and not wanting to-"

Starfire then stopped right there when she found out about Raven's little secret and smiled at her suspiciously. Same time Raven looked at Starfire and was getting a little nervous.

Raven: "Starfire, what are you smiling about? Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, this isn't what you're thinking about. I'm just- Listen Starfire; I know what you're doing! It's not going to make me panic cause I can keep my emotions in check!"

Starfire: "You are bearing a child too, are you friend Raven?"

Raven turned completely red, clothes and all, and steam came out all over her body. At the same time, all the lights in the hallway quickly exploded and the backup lights went on, making Raven feel more embarrassed then ever. Knowing that it was already too late to keep it a secret, she decided to tell her the truth.

Raven: "Yes, I am pregnant."

When Starfire heard Rae's answer, she was filled with joy and hugged her, but not a bone-crushing hug since she has a baby inside her.

Starfire: "Oh that's great news Raven. Now we're going to have two little ones around the Tower, where we raise them, feed them, love them-"

Raven quickly got out of the hug using her powers to phase through the floor and appeared again a few feet away from Starfire.

Raven: "Just don't say it out loud O.K.? Someone would hear it."

Star quickly covered her mouth and felt a little embarrassed about it.

Starfire: "Sorry, I'll be as quiet as an Unhushion Ratzorg."

She then uncovered her mouth and asked a few questions about it.

Starfire: "Tell me; is it a boy or a girl? Who's the father?"

Raven: "First off, it's a little too early to know the gender. And ask for the father…"

She sighed realizing that she can't keep this a secret to anyone, including her friend.

Raven: "Could you do me a favor?"

Starfire nodded.

Raven: "Could you please not tell anyone about this?"

Starfire: "Of course Raven, I promise."

Raven: "O.K. The father of my baby is, LM."

Starfire: "LM? Are you sure that he's the father?"

Raven: "Yes, I'm sure of it."

Starfire: "I don't understand. I thought you had a crush with some guy who share your gothic attributes."

Raven: "Yeah well, he's not really my type. Though he looks cute, he's kind of annoying."

Starfire: "So how did you and LM do the hooking up and then the conceiving?"

Raven: "It's really complicated."

Starfire: "Oh but I must know, please tell me."

Raven did another sigh and decided to let it all go.

Raven: "Fine, I'll tell you. A week ago, we were called in on a threat at the eastern side of the city. When we got there Brother Blood and the Hive-Five ambushed us. We did our best to stop them and worked together, but most of us were seriously injured during battle. I for one just got a huge scratch across my waist. It wasn't deep, but it was seriously bleeding. I was able to heal it myself and close off the wound, but it was hard to cover the scratch I have. When we got back to the Tower, LM went to my room and was worried about my condition. He came with a first aid kit and wanted to help me with my problem, told me to remove my leotard so he can treat me better. But when he started putting ointment on my wound, I started to feel different about him. It was then one of my emotions started to take over."

Starfire: "What emotion are you talking about?"

Raven: "It's Love, the most caring and sensitive emotion that ever lived in my mind. Anyways, when LM finished patching me up, I wanted to say "Thank you." But Love took complete control over me and suddenly kissed him straight in the lips. And after that-"

Raven stopped there as a tear started coming down her face. Starfire noticed it and was saddened by her friend's trouble.

Starfire: "Oh Raven, I didn't realize that all this troubles you. I am so sorry."

Raven: "Don't be Star; it was my fault to let one of my emotions to take control of me. I should know better then to let LM in my room in the first place and throw caution in the wind."

Starfire: "So did you told LM about this news."

Raven: "No, I haven't told LM about this or any of the other teammates. Even if I do tell them, LM would freak out, and I do mean it in a big way."

Starfire: "But you could tell them now. I mean I told my friends about my pregnancy and all of you were fine about it."

Raven: "Yeah but this is different. You told them you were pregnant when Robin's not around and to me I'm not telling it to my friends, I'm telling it to its future father. I don't know what to do."

Starfire realized the problem Raven's facing and knows a way to ease her troubled mind. She places her hand on Raven's shoulder and started to talk to her gently.

Starfire: "Raven; please don't think of it that way. I know this is a tough time for you, but you can't take care of it alone. You have friends like me to help you though all this, like you did to me. Sooner or later, you have to tell them the delightful news and they'll be happy about this. As long as we're together, everything will be all right."

Raven smiled, knowing that it's true. It doesn't matter if she's pregnant or not, she knows that she has friend that can take care of her no matter what. She then hugged Starfire, careful not to harm the baby inside.

Raven: "Thanks Star, I'll tell them when ever its time. Right now, it's getting late so I suggest we head to the living room."

Starfire: "Agreed."

Both Starfire and Raven walked down to the living room.

In the living room, the rest of the team were in their hiding places along with their friends and the lights were off.

LM: "C'mon, what's taking those two so long?"

Cyborg: "You know those two, they always have their "girl talk" mostly everyday."

Beast Boy: "Tell me about it. Girls these days are a little complicated to us."

Terra: "What did you just say?"

Beast Boy: "Uh… Nothing…"

LM: "You know what, I'm going to check to see what's taking them."

Cyborg: "Shh… I hear them coming. Get down! Get down!"

The doors just opened and Starfire and Raven walked into the room. The one thing that got Star's attention was that there was no light in the area.

Starfire: "Why is the room a living so dark?"

Raven: "Looks like someone turned off the lights by accident. I'll turn it back on."

Raven headed to the screen wall and activated the lights. But at the very moment the lights were turned on-

"SURPRISE!"

Starfire's eyes were in disbelief to what she saw. It was a party filled with balloons, falling confetti, a huge banner that reads, "Starfire's Baby Shower", presents on the table, and on the kitchen table was filled with food, snacks, and drinks. Everyone was there including her friends, Galfore, The Titans East, LM's former team Last Hope, the Doom Patrol, Red Star, Kole, Gnarrk, Kid Flash, Jinx, Melvin, Bobby, Teether, Timmy, Pantha, Killowat, Argent, Bushido, Herald, and Jericho. Starfire kept starring at everything and was speechless at the time.

Starfire: "Friends, what is all this?"

Beast Boy: "Well since you are pregnant and all, we think it's best to give you a Baby Shower."

Starfire: "Baby Shower?"

Cyborg: "Yeah a Baby Shower. It's where friends and family gather together to celebrate the mother and the baby and gives the mother gifts for both her and the baby. Do you have this type of celebration on your planet?"

Starfire: "Actually on my planet we celebrate the baby's coming by hosting a festival of motherhood called Yarsha, where we eat amounts of Gorusha and the females would bathe naked in the Tamaran Pool of Peace."

Everyone except Galfore stared at her blankly as sweat drops appeared everywhere.

Starfire: "We're not doing that?"

LM: "Uh Star… Not now, not ever. Besides, you're on Earth and it's time you learn about baby showers right here."

Terra: "Yeah, we took care of you for three months; we think it's best we hold a party in your honor even though it's a little too early."

Cyborg: "The thing is that we just wanted to make you happy."

Starfire: "That's sounds fine, but it would've been better if I were naked in the pool of swimming."

LM: "O.K… Now that we got that disturbing thought out of our system, it's time we PARTY!"

Everyone cheered as the party started.

For a few hours, everyone was having a great time at the party, hanging out, playing video games, and eating food. When they got to the presents and Starfire was pleased to see the gifts all her friends gave her. Cyborg present was a metallic blue crib he made by himself that has an automated lock with a code just incase the baby ever gets out on it own and a temperature regulator and a hard exterior to keep the baby safe at all times. Galfore's present was a planetary mobile with the planet Tamaran in the middle and the other planets and stars circling around it and when it plays, it makes a musical lullaby from Tamaran. Terra and Beast Boy chipped in and gave Starfire a brightly orange Graco ComfortSport car seat, even though Cyborg and LM disagreed that they don't want the car seat in their cars, they had no other choice. Raven gave Starfire a light gray and blue Zippy stroller, incase Star want to take the baby out for a walk, and a Trend high chair. LM's present was a set of temp baby bottles that can automatically heat the formula and a formula container to go along with the bottles. Everyone else just gave Star baby toys, a few books on motherhood, diapers, and baby clothes. It was then that Mas y Menos gave Starfire some sort of moose doll that looks like a superhero.

Starfire: "Oh this is nice my little Spanish friends. But what is it?"

Mas Y Menos: "Alces Estupendos!"

Mas: "Es popular verdadero en México."

Menos: "Sí, cada uno ama esta muñeca, especialmente pequeños bebés.

Mas: "Y es un gran regalo para cualquier ocasión."

Speedy: "All right guys I think she got the picture, sort of."

Starfire just looked at the moose strangely then looked at Mas Y Menos with a confusing smile.

Starfire: "Thank you for the wonderful gift Mas and Menos."

Mas Y Menos: "Usted es agradable Starfire."

Cyborg: "Well, that's all the presents from everyone."

Batman: "Not everyone Cyborg."

The team looked left and saw the Dark Knight himself standing at the right doorway.

Cyborg: "Batman? What are you doing here and how long have you been there?"

Batman: "Can a good friend of Robin come visit his friends once in a while? And since this is a baby shower celebrating Starfire's soon to be child, I thought it was best to give her a special present."

Batman then approached Starfire as the rest of the Titans slowly back away, hoping not to get on the Bat's bad side.

Batman: "Starfire, I could clearly understand how it feels to loose someone very important to you. So I wish to say I'm sorry for what happened to Robin. He was a great man."

Starfire: "That's reassuring of you Batman, but you don't need to thank me. I just saw you on the rooftop at Robin's funeral, so that's enough gratitude from you."

Batman: "Anyways, when I heard that you are pregnant with Robin's baby and since you're having a baby shower, I got this special gift for you."

Batman then gave Starfire a flat rectangle present. Starfire carefully opened it and noticed it was picture of Robin with a wooden frame around it. A bit confused, Starfire looked at the Dark Knight for an explanation.

Starfire: "A picture of Robin?"

Batman: "It's for your child when he or she grows up. Just a little something to let them know where they came from. Also, since this child's going to have Robin's traights, I think its best I should train them on how to fight. If it's all right for you."

Starfire: "Well, since my bumgorf's going to inherit my powers, I think it's best you train my child to defend itself."

Batman: "That's exactly what I want to hear. Now I would like to stay and chat, but Gotham needs me. So this is goodbye."

Batman left the party in a hurry and from the windows; people would see the Bat Jet flying through the sky. Everyone at the party was in complete shock and were quiet during that time until Beast Boy said something.

Beast Boy: "O.K… Weird…"

Raven: "Better him then me."

After that little surprise appearance from Batman, the party still continued on. LM was talking to his old team, Last Hope, at the kitchen table, drinking a few shots of Sangria. Raven was looking on at LM, still afraid that he would freak out when he realize that he'll be the father of her unborn child. Starfire then approached her to help her out on the problem.

Starfire: "Maybe you should go talk to him now."

Raven: "I can't, there are people around and I'm a little nervous."

Starfire: "Sometimes it's best to tell him now then telling him later. And who knows, you'll never know if he'll like the news. It's your choice friend Raven."

Raven gave it a thought and decided to do it now while she has the chance. She then walked down to where LM was and listen to the conversation he's giving to Last Hope.

LM: "So there I was, fifteen of Slade's robotic soldiers around me, aiming their laser guns at me. They thought they all got me but they were wrong. When they fired, I jumped up high in the air and use an exploding grenade to blow them all into next Sunday."

Max Speed: "Damn man, you certainly push your life to the extreme."

Kill Switch: "Yeah, that was a real risk taker for you."

LM: "What more can I say, I take challenges you know."

Raven: "Uh… LM, can I talk to you about something?"

LM looked at Raven and still has a smile on his face.

LM: "Not now Raven, I'm on a roll here."

He looked back at Last Hope and continued his story.

LM: "As I was saying, after the explosion, five more minions appeared and tried to take me out. But focused to avoid all the shots and took out my Mac 11s to dispose of them in an instant."

Raven: "Listen to me, there's something I got to tell you about."

LM: "And then another one surprised me and tried to kill me by slashing me with it's metal claws, but dodged and avoid the attacks and then use my uppercut to knock the its head off it's body."

Raven: "LM I just want to let you know that I am pre-"

LM: "And then I said to the body, "So, how does it feel like to get you're head knocked off by the most rebellious son of a bitch of the Teen Titans?""

Raven: "I SAID I AM PREGNANT!"

Raven suddenly covered her mouth, knowing that she said the most secretive part loud enough for everyone to hear. The entire party went completely silent when they all heard it and everyone looked at Raven in complete shock. LM too was quiet not knowing what he just heard and turned around to look at Raven with a blank expression on his face.

LM: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you right. You said you are what?"

Raven: "I said I'm pregnant; I have a child inside me just like Starfire."

LM: "Well that's nice and all but why are saying it to me, in front of everyone, during a baby shower?"

Raven: "Well you did say that you like to take a challenge, right?"

LM nodded.

Raven: "Well now it's time to take a new challenge, being a father."

LM just remained there completely quiet after hearing what Raven said, as she was about to leave. But then she looked at LM one more time.

Raven: "Oh and one more thing, you should've known better then to come in to my room and aid me, then we wouldn't been in this mess in the first place."

It was then that Raven left, leaving LM dumbstruck and looked at his old team for some help.

Silent Night: "LM, on behalf of Last Hope and everyone in Zion, I would wish to say congratulations, dad."

His team then snickered a bit, trying not to contain the laughter inside them. LM on the other hand, was following Raven hoping ease the situation down.

LM: "Hang on Raven, please explain to me. I don't know what's going on here, unless you say something to me."

As soon the two left, the Titans and their friends had no clue on what happened just now.

Starfire: "Well I thought that went well, I think."

The Titans stared at Starfire knowing that she had something to do with it. Starfire then gave an embarrassing giggle and a sweat drop came down her head. At the same time, Connecter of Last Hope decided on something.

Connecter: "You know, I think we should get some stronger Sangria for LM to calm down."

Silent Night: "I agree on that occasion."

Well that's the end of chapter six. I think I made it a bit confusing, but made some sense of it, I hope. And if anyone doesn't know Spanish, here are the translations.

1. Alces Estupendos! – Super Moose!
2. Es popular verdadero en México. – It's real popular in Mexico.
3. Sí, cada uno ama esta muñeca, especialmente pequeños bebés. - Yes, everyone loves this doll, especially little babies.
4. Y es un gran regalo para cualquier ocasión. - And it's a great gift for any ocasion.
5. Usted es agradable Starfire. – You're welcome Starfire.

On the next chapter, Starfire's nine months pregnant and is ready to deliver her baby. Please Review.
