AN: This is my twenty-eighth story and I still don't own Teen Titans!

Chapter 4

Beast Boy felt like he had just fallen to sleep when he heard someone knocking on his door. He fell out of his bed then dragged himself over to it.

"What?" he asked, very annoyed.

"We're back," said Robin.

"What? You just left!" said Beast Boy.

"We've been gone for almost three hours," said Cyborg.

"Well wake me up in another five," he said, trying to close his door.

"Beast Boy, we know what happened to the girls," said Robin, sliding the door wide open.

"You do?" he asked. "So, it was Doctor Light."

"It was his lasers," said Cyborg.

"How did his lasers knock up Star and Raven?" asked Beast Boy, confused.

"We're going to explain everything in the common room, so let's go," said Robin.

Starfire sat on the couch singing and giggling softly to her self. Raven looked as sick as ever and she was hugging a trash basket on her lap. The three young men entered and the explaining could begin. Beast Boy took a seat in between the girls and tried to wake himself up.

"How are you girls feeling this morning?" asked Robin.

"Wonderful!" said Starfire, laughing.

"Like Hell," moaned Raven. Beast Boy softly rubbed her back and Raven couldn't find the strength to give him an evil glare.

"Well, we know what happened," said Cyborg. "You want me to tell them?"

"Sure," said Robin, who was finally beginning to feel that exhaustion Beast Boy had warned him about. He sat down next to Starfire and she cuddled right up to him.

"Okay, this is what happened," said Cyborg taking in a huge breath. "When we fought Doctor Light two months ago he was usin some new laser technology he had come up with. Evidently, what the lasers did was make objects permeable for a window of about a half an hour. So when he shot a glass door, he could walk through it without breakin anythin. Y'all followin me so far?"

"I think so," said Starfire.

"Just get to the point!" groaned Raven, holding down her morning tea the best she could.

"Well, when he shot y'all, he made your skin permeable as well," said Cyborg. "But, since the lasers weren't meant to be used on skin, it had a somewhat different reaction on you. Your skin become like an open passage for other things. Consequently, DNA and genetic material."

Beast Boy raised his hand and said, "Uh, I'm kinda confused."

"Wait till I'm done," said Cyborg. "Anyway, as long as you didn't touch anythin with DNA and genetic material for thirty minutes, y'all should've been fine. But you girls, obviously, were touched, as were Robin and Beast Boy. But their bodies simply denied the extra DNA and genetic material, so nothin happened."

"But what were we touched by?" asked Starfire.

"Well, Star, you hugged me after the fight," said Robin. "And when we hugged, my genetics must have combined with yours."

"Right," said Cyborg. "And your body put the combined genetics in the one place it belongs usually. You're womb."

"So, Robin, you are the father of my child?" asked Starfire.

"We're pretty sure I am," said Robin with a small smile.

Starfire gave a gleeful scream and wrapped her arms around him. "This is most wonderful! We are to have a little bumgorf together."

"But what about Raven?" asked Beast Boy. "Who's the dad of her baby?"

"Well, let's see," said Cyborg, sarcastically. "Who grabbed her and hugged her after the battle?"

Beast Boy thought for a second then his eyes grew wide with realization. "Oh, crud," he said, his face going blank.

"You idiot!" she screamed angrily. "You did this to me! I told you not to hug me, I told you to leave me alone, but you just never listen! Now you've gotten me pregnant!" She shoved him so hard he fell right off of the couch. Then she stood up and ran out of the common room. The others were silent as she had this outburst and Beast Boy was simply stunned.

She ran to her room and slammed the door shut. She leaned up against it and suddenly tears began to fall from her eyes. She soon slid down the door and began to weep into her hands. Her powers did nothing as she cried, mostly because they had left her. She had noticed that the past few weeks they were becoming weaker, but she really didn't think anything of it. Now she knew why. Her powers could endanger her unborn child, and so now they were on hold.

She cried angrily for a very long time. She couldn't believe this had happened to her. She couldn't understand why she was always meant to suffer. All she ever did was right wrongs and keep evil from controlling the world. Why should she be punished for doing the right thing all the time? She knew that someone up there must have hated her. Why else would she be forced to live such a painful life?

"Oh God, I got Raven pregnant," said Beast Boy with a blank, shocked look on his face.

"It was an accident, B," said Cyborg. "I mean it really was an accident. It was neither you nor Ravens fault."

"No, it was my fault," said Beast Boy, shaking his head. "She always told me not to hug her, but I did it anyway. I always have to push her limit, and now I've done the worst thing ever to her."

"A bumgorf is not the worst thing ever to happen," said Starfire. "It is a blessing and a miracle and you should be happy to have one with one of your friends."

"Easy for you to say, Star," said Beast Boy. "You and Robin are a couple, having a baby isn't as shocking and horrible as Raven and I having one."

"Why don't you go and try to talking to her?" suggested Robin.

"Yeah, I've never seen her that upset before," said Cyborg.

"And what am I gonna say?" asked Beast Boy. "Sorry I knocked you up with a hug, can we still be friends?"

"Perhaps she will be relieved to know that you care about her," said Starfire.

"I guess," Beast Boy sighed. He slowly stood up and headed out of the room.

He arrived at Ravens room and he could hear her clearly sobbing and talking to herself.

"Why God?" he heard her cry. "Why do you hate me? I didn't ask to be half evil. Why must you punish me for the wrongs of my father?"

Beast Boy had never felt so terrible. Poor Raven had been through a lot in her life and she really didn't need this. He had to tell her that he did care for her and would do anything to help her feel better. He gingerly knocked on the door and waited for her to respond.

"Go away!" she called out.

"Raven, it's me," he said. "I want to talk to you."

"No, go away!" she cried out in between a sob.

"I know you're upset," said Beast Boy. "Trust me, I'm in shock too, but that doesn't mean we can't help each other. We're in the same boat here and I just want to help."

"I think you've done enough," she said bitterly.

"Please," he called to her desperately. "You're gonna have to talk to me sooner or later so please let's just talk now."

"I don't want to talk now," said Raven. "I just want to be alone. And I feel like I'm going to be sick again."

"Well let me help you!" said Beast Boy.

"How the hell are you going to help me?" asked Raven, slowly crawling to her shaky legs. "Watch me puke and cheer me on?"

"No, I can make sure you don't pass out or anything," said Beast Boy. "Will you please just let me in?"

"Whatever, do what you want," said Raven, slowly making her way to her bathroom.

Beast Boy sighed and slid her door open. He just caught her taking a seat in front of her toilet, getting ready to throw up. He closed her door and went over to her. She began to slowly cough and choke, then finally heaved. Once she started, she knew she wouldn't be able to stop.

Beast Boy looked around her bathroom and saw a washcloth. He grabbed it, ran it under the water in the sink, and then waited for Raven to take a breath. He got down next to her and began to rub her back lovingly. After a few good heaves she rested her forehead on her hands, which were grasping the toilet seat. While she took a short break, Beast Boy placed the washcloth softly upon her face. He washed it gingerly and then dried it with another towel. He did this swiftly and was done by the time she was ready to get sick again.

He did this for her every time she had a moment to rest. She said nothing to him, but he didn't expect a response. He was just glad she was allowing the two of them to have some interaction. He would fill a glass of water for her to drink, that way she would have something to throw up the next round.

After about an hour she was done and feeling quite weak. She was starving and could barely lift her head any more. Beast Boy washed her face one last time and lifted her up.

"Thank you," she said in a voice so soft it could barely be heard.

"You're welcome," he said kindly and helped her over to her bed.

Once she was in and she had curled up in her bed, Beast Boy went to get her some tea. When he returned with it she gladly took it and sipped the warm liquid happily. It soothed her burning throat and filled her empty, ailing stomach.

"Feeling better now?" asked Beast Boy.

"Hardly," said Raven, sipping her tea. "You didn't have to help me, you know."

"Yeah, I know," said Beast Boy. "But I'm gonna be helping you out a lot more now, so I don't mind."

"I don't need your help," said Raven, putting her now empty teacup down on her bedside table. "I can take care of myself."

"And the baby?" asked Beast Boy.

Raven was quiet. She lay back down in her bed and turned away from him. Beast Boy knew that he probably shouldn't have said anything, but he couldn't help himself. Raven wasn't thinking straight and he knew that. She was still in somewhat denial over the whole situation. He decided to leave her alone to rest.

"Have a nice nap, Raven," he said softly and left her.
