AN: This is my twenty-eighth story and I still don't own Teen Titans!
Chapter 3
The whole room was deathly silent. Their breaths seemed to catch in their throats as Cyborg delivered the news. A wave of confusion spread through the room and all eyes fell on Cyborg, each looking at him in disbelief.
"Could, uh, could you repeat that?" asked Robin.
"Raven and Starfire are pregnant," said Cyborg.
Starfire gasped and said, "Of course! That is why I have been unable to stop the laughing." She giggled to herself and a large smile spread over her face. "When a woman of my planet becomes pregnant, the joy that goes through their body is so great that they begin to do the laughing all of the time."
"Wait a second, I can't be pregnant," said Raven, sitting straight up.
"Well, according to you're blood results, you are," said Cyborg.
"No, you don't understand," said Raven. "I can't be pregnant!"
"Look, I know this is probably gonna be hard for you to accept, but…" started Cyborg.
"No, no, no!" Raven shouted. "It's impossible. I'm… I'm still a virgin."
"Oh, yes!" said Starfire, realizing something. "I am a virgin, as well. But, wait, I do not understand. How can both I and Raven be pregnant when we haven't had the intercourse of sex?"
"That's a good question," said Cyborg, who looked as baffled as everyone else.
"Do you know how far along in the pregnancy they are?" asked Robin. "If we know, we can back track and see if anything happened when they conceived."
"No, I can't figure that out," said Cyborg. "For that they need to see an obstetrician."
"Alright, get one and get them to the tower, A.S.A.P.," said Robin. "We have to find out how this happened."
"Can I go back to my room, now?" asked Raven, who was feeling quite flustered.
"Sorry, Raven," said Cyborg, "but you're not well enough to leave just yet. I'm gonna get some fluids into you and make sure you eat. You've lost a lot of weight this week, and in your current condition that's not good."
Raven moaned and flopped back down onto her bed.
"Do not worry, Raven," said Starfire sweetly. "I shall stay so that you are not lonely."
"Joy," said Raven sarcastically.
A few hours later they were able to get an obstetrician to the tower. They had to make sure that none of this was going to be revealed to anyone outside of the tower and they even made the doctor sign a contract. Once that was done, she had a look at Starfire and Raven.
The boys sat outside and waited once more. They were all oddly quiet, still stunned by the news that both girls were with child. Robin had his arms crossed and he leaned against the wall in deep thought. Cyborg kept going over the results in his head, thinking that maybe somewhere he had read something wrong. And Beast Boy kept his hands in his pockets and kicked the floor aimlessly.
"This isn't good," Robin said at last. "This isn't good at all."
"Well, let's wait for what the doctor has to say," said Cyborg.
"How could this have happened?" asked Robin. "How can they be pregnant if they're still virgins?"
"Immaculate conception?" offered Beast Boy.
"I'm not in the mood for jokes," growled Robin.
"Dude, it was just a guess," said Beast Boy. "But the last time something like this happened that was the case, so don't get all pissed at me."
"Alright, calm down," said Cyborg. "For all we know my test results were wrong and they're not pregnant. Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet."
A few minutes later the boys were allowed back in for the results. The doctor looked a bit confused, but other than that everything seemed to be alright.
"Well, you're both about two months along," said the doctor. "How you became pregnant while you're both 'untouched', let's say, is a mystery to me. And, while I don't know anything about Tamaranean pregnancies so I can't help Starfire, I can help Raven with the morning sickness."
"It's not morning sickness," growled Raven. "It lasts all day long! It's nearly suppertime and my nauseas' just going down."
"Yes, for every woman it can be different," said the doctor kindly. "But, my advice to you is to eat small, frequent meals. That should help and it should only last another month or two." Raven let out a whimper and closed her eyes out of frustration.
"I shall have to return to Tamaran to get the details in what to expect in my pregnancy," said Starfire.
"You're not going anywhere until we know how you got this way," said Robin.
"I'll see you two in a few weeks, okay?" said the doctor with a smile. Both girls agreed and she was shown out. Once she was gone it was time to get down to business.
"Alright, first, let's get Raven back to her bed," said Robin.
"Thank Azar," said Raven as Cyborg removed the IV, which was giving her fluids, out of her arm.
"Starfire, until we know what's going to happen to you in your pregnancy, I think you should stay in bed as well," said Robin.
"Alright," said Starfire, giggling to her self.
"Cyborg, find out what we were doing two months ago, give or take about two weeks," said Robin.
"Got it," said Cyborg, heading off.
Robin helped Starfire to her room, though she really didn't need any help at all, and Beast Boy helped Raven. She was so tired and drained from this whole ordeal that she didn't mind the he was practically carrying her back to her room. Once both girls were in bed it was time for the boys to go over their past events.
"Okay, I've got everything we did two months ago," said Cyborg, using the large computer screen in the common room. "When we ate, where we went, who we fought, I've got it all."
"Alright, let's go through everything day by day and whatever we find suspicious we'll highlight," said Robin.
"Won't it be faster if we each took a day, that way we would be getting through it three times as fast?" asked Beast Boy.
"Fine, but let's get going," said Robin.
The three took a day and began to go through everything they did from sun up to sunset and beyond. There were twenty-four hours in every day and they usually spent most hours doing at least three different things. They had a long night ahead of them.
The hours passed and still they hadn't found anything suspicious. Cyborg had to leave to recharge his batteries at about four in the morning so he didn't shut down. Beast Boy had gone through two pots of coffee and was looking a little… twitchy. Robin didn't need anything to keep him going. He was determined to find out how his girlfriend had gotten pregnant. And whoever had done it was going to pay, and dearly.
"Dudes, this is impossible," said Beast Boy. "There's no way we can pinpoint when this happened to the girls."
"We're not giving up," said Robin.
"But I wanna go to bed!" whined Beast Boy.
"Yeah, man," said Cyborg. "Can't we at least take a break?"
"You just had one," said Robin.
"But I haven't!" said Beast Boy.
"If I let you leave I'd never see you again," said Robin. "No, we're going to keep working until we find something that might help us."
"But what if we don't find anything?" asked Beast Boy.
"We will," said Robin firmly. "Something had to have happened for both Starfire and Raven to become pregnant. Now get back to work."
"Awe, this sucks," moaned Beast Boy.
"Just think how upset Star and Raven are, B," said Cyborg.
"That's true," said Beast Boy. He let out a sigh and got back to work.
It was around seven in the morning when they finally discovered something. Cyborg had been scanning over the activities of a day about two months before and he found an event that raised some red flags.
"Boys, I think I've got somethin," said Cyborg.
"What?" asked Robin, practically leaping over to him.
"Well, remember our last encounter with Doctor Light?" asked Cyborg.
"Yeah," said Beast Boy, rubbing his eyes and letting out a long yawn.
"You four were hit with those lasers he had," said Cyborg. "After we beat him, we thought that the laser had no effect on us. Maybe it did, but we didn't know it. We never bothered to check them out."
"Good job," said Robin. "Let's go have a chat with Doctor Light."
"Uh, Rob, I don't think they'll let us see him this early in the morning," said Cyborg.
"Trust me, they will," said Robin.
"Okay, you go down there," said Beast Boy standing up. "I'm going to bed."
"Oh no, you're coming too," said Robin.
"Why?" complained Beast Boy. "We all know that you're gonna do all of the talking anyway. There's no reason I should have to go. And if I can get some sleep, then I can at least help you guys later on today. Like when you pass out from exhaustion."
"He's got a point," said Cyborg.
"Fine, you stay here," said Robin. "Cyborg and I will go, unless you want to stay and sleep too."
"Naw, I'm good for a little while longer," said Cyborg, stretching. "That charge I got a few hours ago gave me my second wind."
"Good, let's go," said Robin and with that he and Cyborg left for the jail.
Beast Boy was never so happy to see Robin leave. Now he could finally get some sleep. He slowly dragged his feet down the halls of the tower on the way to his room. He could barely keep his eyes open and he nearly tripped over his own feet multiple times. He was almost to his room when he passed Ravens. He stopped for a moment and pressed his ear to her door. He could hear her heaving. He felt so bad for her. Whoever got her pregnant was going to feel ever worse when they were through with him.
