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

Chapter 8

Raven had always liked her uniform. That was why she had kept it for so many years. A black, long sleeved leotard that shown blue in the light with a dark blue cloak. That's not including her belt of large, red jewels that hung loosely around her hips. If there was one thing she had in life, it was a nice figure. Well… she had a nice figure. Now that she was four months pregnant she had a lovely bulge where her once flat stomach had once been. No, it wasn't all that large, since she was only four months along, but to Raven she looked like she was hiding a balloon under her suit.

"For the last time, you're over reacting," sighed Beast Boy. He was sitting on her bed, waiting to escort her to the med bay for her obstetrician appointment. At the moment, she was standing in front of her mirror looking at her changing body. "You're supposed to look like that."

"I'm supposed to look like I swallowed a bowling ball?" she said, getting a good look at her profile.

"A bowling ball?" exclaimed Beast Boy. "Raven, you look like maybe you've gained like ten pounds."

"Oh, so now you're saying I look fat?" she cried.

"No, no!" he said quickly. "I just think you're getting a little too upset. Don't worry, the doctor is gonna say that you look perfectly normal."

"I somehow doubt that," she said lowly.

Beast Boy sighed and looked at Ravens clock. "Look, we better get going or we'll be late," said Beast Boy.

"It's a one minute walk," said Raven, her eyes not leaving the mirror. "I'd say it'd be pretty impossible for us to be late."

"Well, we've got one minute before it's 3:00," said Beast Boy. "So if you want to be there on time we've got to leave now."

"Fine," huffed Raven. She grabbed a pair of her shorts out of her bureau, wrapped her cloak around herself the best she could so that her bulging stomach wouldn't show, then she and Beast Boy left.

Over the past month Beast Boy had definitely shown Raven that he could step up to the plate and be there for her. He had set up appointments for her, bought her pregnancy books which he actually read as well, and even got her special caffeine-free tea. She still hadn't made up her mind on whether she was going to keep the baby or not, so he was doing his best to make her happy.

The doctor was setting up all of the equipment she was going to use on Raven. They had shipped it all in so that Raven never had to leave the tower. They all knew she'd be horribly embarrassed if she had to go into the city's hospital as a pregnant nineteen year old superhero. Just as the doctor was turning the various machines on Raven and Beast Boy entered.

"Hello," said the doctor warmly.

"Uh… hello," said Beast Boy. "Who are you?" Both had noticed that this wasn't the doctor that had been seeing Raven.

"Oh, I'm filling in for Dr. Powers today," said the doctor. "And, don't worry, I've signed the contract and all that so don't worry about me blabbing my mouth about any of this."

"Well that's reassuring," said Raven nervously. This new doctor was a pretty and young and Raven suddenly wondered if maybe she should hold off on the appointment until her other doctor could come in. Then she told herself she was overreacting.

"My name's Dr. Sawyer," she said with a sweet smile. "Go on and put this gown on."

Raven took the thin gown and went to change. She hated these stupid sonogram appointments. She had to wear this horrid gown and expose her stomach so the doctor could put a sensor on it and look at what was going on inside of her. That's why she brought the shorts. Beast Boy wanted to be there and she wasn't about to sit there with her lower stomach and underwear showing.

She came out of the bathroom and went over to Beast Boy and Dr. Sawyer, who were chatting and smiling. She suddenly felt an odd feeling come over her at the sight of this pretty little doctor smiling and flipping her hair in front of Beast Boy. And it wasn't a positive feeling.

"I'm back," she announced to get their attention.

"Great, jump up on the bed and we'll get started," said Dr. Sawyer.

"Oh, yeah, here I go, vroom," said Raven sarcastically and carefully crawled onto the bed. She got situated and then lifted her shirt so that her stomach was exposed.

"Wow," said Beast Boy, not realizing he was speaking out loud.

"What?" asked Raven, alarmed.

"Oh, uh, nothing," he said quickly.

"You're shocked at the size of my huge stomach, aren't you?" she asked, sadly.

"No, it's just that, well, I've never even seen your stomach before," said Beast Boy. "It looks cool."

"It looks cool?" asked Raven.

"Well, ya know, I can actually tell that you're pregnant and it's cool," he said, trying to choose his words the best that he could.

"Look, could you please stop talking?" asked Raven, massaging her temples.

"Yeah," he sighed, his ears drooping.

The doctor squeezed some cold jelly onto Ravens stomach, making her shiver, and then placed the sensor on. "Alright, let me see what we've got," said Dr. Sawyer with another smile and she began to move the sensor around.

"What are all of those blobs?" asked Beast Boy, looking closely at the monitor.

"My guts, Beast Boy," Raven sighed.

"Well, that part is," Dr. Sawyer chuckled. "But right… there is a baby."

"Oh," said Beast Boy, tilting his head and trying to figure out the difference between the blobs.

"So, have you thought of any names for them?" asked Dr. Sawyer.

"Well, I'm not sure what Starfire's going to name hers," said Raven. "But I want to know the sex of my baby before I start thinking of names."

"Starfire?" asked Dr. Sawyer. "She's pregnant, too?"

"Yeah, didn't you know?" asked Beast Boy.

"No, I was given the information on Raven only," said Dr. Sawyer. "Wow, this tower of yours is going to be full of children soon."

"Wait a second," said Beast Boy. "If you didn't know about Starfire then why did you ask about naming the babies?"

"Because I was curious to know what you're going to name your babies," said Dr. Sawyer, becoming as confused as Raven and Beast Boy.

"Okay, this is where I'm getting confused," said Raven giving a frustrated sigh. "You're saying baby in the plural form, not the singular."

"Well, I would think that you would say baby in the plural form when you're having two," said Dr. Sawyer plainly.

They were both silent for a moment. "Two?" they asked together.

"Uh, yeah," said Dr. Sawyer, innocently. "You knew you were having twins, right?"

Raven and Beast Boy looked at Dr. Sawyer blankly for a second, then looked at each other, then back to her. They both dumbly shook their heads.

"Oh," said Dr. Sawyer. "Well, um, yeah, you're having twins."

"Are… are you sure?" asked Raven, feeling a little dizzy. She seemed to have forgotten to breath and was now feeling a little light headed.

"Yes," said Dr. Sawyer, nodding. "I can show you." She moved the sensor around on Ravens stomach and stopped. "See, here's one and… here's the other."

"I'm… I'm having… twins?" she said again, feeling like maybe she had been hearing the doctor wrong.

"Yes," said Dr. Sawyer again. "Do you want to know what they are?"

"I'm… I'm not sure," said Raven, still slightly dazed. "Beast Boy, do you think we…"

Suddenly Beast Boy toppled right over and lay unconscious on the floor. Evidently he had forgotten to breath as well, but wasn't as quick as Raven to snap out of it.

"Is he alright?" asked Raven, concerned.

"I think he's just fainted," said Dr. Sawyer looking over to the passed out Beast Boy. She went over to him and gave him a little shake. "Beast Boy, wake up. Come on, wake up."

Beast Boy felt like the room was spinning and he lazily opened his eyes. They focused and he saw Dr. Sawyer kneeling next to him and Raven looking down on him from her bed.

"What happened?" he asked.

"You fainted, Beast Boy," said Raven.

"Come on, let's get you up," said Dr. Sawyer, giving him her hand. She slowly got him to his feet and then sat him down in a chair.

"So, is it true then?" asked Beast Boy. "Raven's having twins?"

"Yes," said Dr. Sawyer. "Just don't pass out now."

"Uh, sorry about that," said Beast Boy.

"Don't be," said Raven, almost kindly, which shocked him. He suddenly noticed that she had a slightly blank look on her face. "I almost fainted, too."

"Well, would you two like to know the sexes of your babies?" asked Dr. Sawyer.

"I'm not sure," said Raven, again. "But, I guess it would make things a little easier. And I did want to know when I thought I was only having one. Do you want to know?"

"Why not?" Beast Boy sighed. "We might as well."

"Okay, then," said Dr. Sawyer with a soft smile. "This one is a… girl. And this one is a… boy. You've got one of each."

Beast Boy and Raven both took this in, but both were silent. It was all too much. Just when they thought they might be able to handle everything, another curve ball. Would it never end?

"Well, they both look fine and healthy," said Dr. Sawyer, realizing that she wasn't going to get much of a response from the two. "But you're still a little thin, Raven, so make sure to keep eating. And… that's it, you're done."

Raven nodded and covered her stomach once more. "Thank you," she said simply and slid off of the bed to go change. When she had first heard the word 'twins' her mind had filled with thousands of thoughts, but it had overloaded, leaving her flat line. She felt like she was in a dream. A four month long dream.
