Another chapter! Hope you like it. Let me know what you think about it in the reviews. Next update on Friday.

Enjoy!

"When I saw the news, I rushed straight from work! Where is she?"

James looked around the room in a state of panic. His white button-up shirt was untucked and his tie loosened. His dress pants appeared wrinkled and out of place.

"She's fine," Raven said with ease. "After I gave her a good shower, she went straight to sleep. Probably exhausted."

James exhaled then flopped on the couch next to her. Farah's daycare was all over the news that day. Once James saw the helicopter view and the name of the building on the headlines, he dashed out his office, making an excuse to his boss why he had to leave his job early.

"I can't believe that happened today!"

"Neither can I. I was having a tantrum," Raven said softly with a warm mug in her hands. "Want anything to drink?"

James sighed. "Water would be fine."

Raven went to the small kitchen and prepared a cool drink for her good friend. She kept thinking back to the moment she saw Beast boy again. She wondered if he had noticed her. Deep within her, she wished he did, but logically, she hoped he didn't.

"How is she doing?"

Raven sighed and gave him the glass of water. "She's doing fine, I guess. She seems traumatized by what happened. When we got home, she wouldn't let me go. She was scared to be left anywhere by herself."

James shook his head in disappointment. "I hope the person who caused the fire rots wherever he is."

"I'll make sure Light never sees day again." Raven thought vindictively.

Right on cue, Farah started to cry from her room. Raven quickly sprang from the couch and lightly sprinted to her daughter's bedroom. Seconds later, she came back out with small Farah in her arms. She wore her small red onesie pajamas and her hair disheveled. She rested her head on her mother's shoulder with her thumb in her mouth. She looked adorable, but she was very tired and it could be seen from the small bags under her eyes.

"Farah, Uncle James is here, look." Raven turned to the little girl. When Farah saw the man she knew so well standing in front of her with his arms open and a warm smile on his face, she migrated to him and snuggled into the comforting warmth of his large chest.

"She's so out of it." He said, bouncing her up and down lightly in his arms.

Raven nodded. "She might have problems sleeping for a couple of nights. I'm not sure what she saw while she was in there, but it must have really scared her."

James continued looking down at Farah. She was starting to drift off to sleep once more. "She'll get over it. She's a strong girl."

"I hope she does," Raven said under her breath.

"25, 26, 2.7.."

Beast boy did his final bench press then stopped. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a small towel and exhaled. Ever since their last mission, Beast boy couldn't get the image of the little girl and her mother out his mind. The little girl reminded him of his own appearance. Before he turned green, he was a blonde with curly locks and the same skin tone. He couldn't remember the full details of what she looked like because it was only a short amount of time before she was snatched away by her mother, but he felt a spark in her. And those eyes! What child have purple eyes? He asked Robin and Cyborg if they noticed the unusual eye color, but they didn't. The only person he knew with those special eyes was Raven. There's no way it could be natural. And her mother, same body figure as Raven's. She had long black hair and fair skin like her daughter, but other than that, she and her daughter looked almost nothing alike.

Beast boy groaned and scratched his sweaty head. He wished he had a longer time to study them. He wished he could have seen the mother's fingers, but it was tucked away in the fabric of the little girl's clothes and her hair. If Raven was still in Jump, then she needed to disguise her appearance and the only way she could do that was through the holographic rings Cy made for them all. Although Raven told him she wasn't pregnant, as time progressed and he thought more of possible reasons why she left, he became paranoid that she indeed was, and seeing that little girl made him even more uneasy.

Cyborg entered the gym with a water bottle in hand and a small towel draped over his shoulder. "Well if it isn't the hero himself!"

Beast boy gave a small laugh and watched Cyborg begin his own workout. His mind was still wrapped around the whole ordeal. He didn't want to make any conclusions, but he strongly believed that woman was Raven. Logically, it wouldn't be possible, but he had hopes that it was her.

"Cy, can we, uh, talk for a minute?"

Cyborg stopped lifting the heavy weights and looked at Beast boy. "Sure, BB! What you wanna' talk about?"

Beast boy paused for a few moments. Cyborg was his best friend. He felt like he could tell him everything...everything except for this, but he had to tell someone, and Cyborg seemed to be the only one who could understand..he hoped. "Would you believe me if I told you that Raven and I had..sex?"

Cyborg stopped lifting the dumbbell for a moment, cringing at the thought of seeing his best friend and sister intercourse in such a way. He looked back, confused at the random question. "Um, no."

Kicking his feet, he paused and looked up. "Well, we did." Beast boy said bluntly.

Cyborg stared at him with disbelief. He made an uncomfortable face then gave a nervous laugh. "Good joke, BB."

Beast boy considered the idea of playing off Cyborg's disbelief and agreeing that it was a joke, but he was in too deep. Too late to step out now. He shook his head slowly and played with his fingers nervously. "No." He said softly. "I'm not joking."

Cyborg dropped the weights and strode closer to him, crossing his arms in the process. He never imagined Beast boy and Raven would get into a relationship. Terra was his girlfriend, not Raven. He had to admit, Beast boy and Raven did have an unusual friendship. There were times when they would hate each other then there were moments where you couldn't separate them. However, sex? No. Cyborg didn't think they would do that. Not one bit. He talked to Raven before and whenever Beast boy came up as a topic, she wouldn't say anything out the usual. A playful insult would be made about him then the topic would change to something else.

But he gave Beast boy a chance to explain himself.

"Was," Cyborg paused. "This before you got with Terra?"

Beast boy paused another moment, staring into the human eye of his metallic friend then shook his head. "Nah." He said silently.

Cyborg was shocked to hear this coming from Beast boy. He never saw him as the cheating type. Sure, he had his moments with Terra, but not serious enough to cheat on her. And Raven? That was the last person he expected. Damn, she was good at hiding stuff. He looked away, trying to process everything. "Are you going to tell Terra?

"I'm not sure if I will."

"Not sure? You cheated on her. She has the right to know." He fumed.

"I know, I know, Cy, but that's not the main thing I wanted to talk to you about."

Cyborg silently groaned. There was more? He didn't know what could be worse than cheating on your significant other, but he promised to listen, not bash him on his mistakes.

"Before Raven...left, I asked her if she was pregnant.."

Cyborg quickly fixed his gaze on him and became serious. Whenever Raven became a subject matter, he didn't waste any time goofing off. Beast boy gulped in fear because he knew how Cyborg felt about the empath. Cyborg balled his fists, which didn't go unnoticed by Beast boy.

"Was she?" He asked in a low tone.

"No!" Beast boy said quickly but then paused. "Well, that's what she said." Beast boy was now standing in front of Cyborg."When I rescued the little girl from that building and looked down at her face, this may sound strange, but...I saw me in her."

"What are you trying to say, man?" Cyborg was slowly inching closer, slightly shaking-from what Beast boy assumed-was anger.

"I..I think Raven was pregnant."

Cyborg stood over Beast boy with anger in his eyes. "You got Raven pregnant!?"

Beast boy slightly cowered back, but he still stayed in his spot. "I..I..think so."

Beast boy opened his mouth to say more, but he meeped when he saw a metal fist coming towards his face. He jumped back and stared at Cyborg with fear and confusion. "Cy, what you doin'!?"

Cyborg tried to punch Beast boy again. He didn't hate his best friend, but someone needed to knock some sense into his green head. "You telling me that you got Raven pregnant and for two years, you ain't say nothing!?" Beast boy continued ducking and sliding out the way of his angry assault.

Beast boy fell back against the gym wall when Cyborg landed a hard punch to his cheek. He stayed on the floor, groaning in pain and holding the side of his face. Beast boy bent and spat a small amount of blood onto the floor. He wasn't angry with Cyborg; for everything he's done to Raven, he deserved it. Cyborg stood over him and rolled his eyes. After exhaling tiredly, he helped Beast boy back up to his feet and stared at his swollen cheek. "You know how I feel when anyone messes with Rae, even if it's you."

Beast boy smirked and nodded his head. After spitting another small amount of blood from his mouth, he began talking again. "I'm not sure specifically if the woman I saw was Raven. She didn't look like Raven, but she reminded me of her, and the kid had purple eyes. No one else has those type of eyes but Raven."

Cyborg sighed and shook his head. He was still angry that Beast boy got Raven, his little sister, pregnant, but sympathetic because he knew that it wasn't entirely Beast boy's fault. Raven was known for keeping secrets and doing things on her own.

"Did you wear a condom when you guys..you know?" Frankly, Cyborg was confused as to when Raven and Beast boy had the time to have sex. During the day, Beast boy would be with Terra and Raven would be locked away in her room.

Beast boy gave a nervous smile and kept his mouth shut. From the looks of Cyborg's fists, he could punch him again at any moment. Out of slight fear, he answered his question with a slump of his shoulders. "No."

Cyborg sighed and looked away. He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. "Robin went over safe sex, you know."

Beast boy blushed. "..Kinda fell asleep during that lecture," He said with a low and embarrassed tone."But I know how to work a condom!" He said defensively. "I just didn't like the way they felt." He finished in a whisper.

Cyborg rolled his eyes at his answer. He resisted the urge to punch him in the chest. But instead, he placed a strong hold on Beast boy's muscular shoulder. "I'm mad that you got her pregnant, but I am happy that you possibly found her."

Raven silently read her book on the couch. The TV was turned off and the lights were dimmed. It was almost 10 at night. Thankfully, it was a Friday night, so she didn't have to worry about the wrath of Schwartz until Monday, giving her enough time to figure out who could watch Farah while she was at work until the daycare was rebuilt.

Time continued to pass and Raven became more engrossed in her book. She failed to hear her daughter climbing out of her bed and walking towards her. Raven slightly jumped in fear when she saw her young daughter standing at the end of the couch with her finger in her mouth and tears running down her face. Raven placed the book down and scooped upset Farah in her arms. It pained Raven to see her so scared. This was nothing that will go away overnight, but she hoped that James was right and that she would indeed get over this ordeal soon.

Raven lied back on the couch with Farah in her arms. She ran her fingers through Farah's soft hair, making the little girl more at ease in her arms. She continued this soft treatment until Farah fell asleep again. Raven sighed and brought the little girl with her to her bedroom. There was no way that Farah would sleep by herself in her own room. Although there was a night light plugged in her wall, she would still get spooked. Raven lied herself and Farah on the bed and pulled the sheets over their tired bodies. Farah slightly stirred, but quickly went back to sleep when she felt her mother's warmth consume her again. Raven brought her close to her chest and continued to massage her head. When Raven started to drift off to sleep herself, she kissed the top of Farah's head.

"I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Terra, you have to be more careful during battles."

Terra rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. She hated being scolded by Robin. "I know, Robin! I told you I was sorry. You saw me try to stop the rock."

Robin stayed silent. She could tell that he was still angry even when she gave him numerous apologies the hour before. She sighed and crossed her arms. "Everything is my fault."

"I'm not saying that everything's your fault. I'm just telling you to be more vigilant."

Terra turned her attention to the TV in front of her and tuned Robin's voice out. Robin groaned in annoyance and stomped away from the geomancer.

Beast boy stared at the scene and whispered. "Quit being so stubborn."

"Can it! I don't want to hear anything from you."

Beast boy huffed then walked away from her too. He didn't have the energy to deal with her at the moment.

"Fiends! We should not bicker. It was the accident. We should do the forgive and forget."

"I can't simply forget the fact that innocent children were almost killed!" Robin spat lowly from his seat in the kitchen.

Beast boy kept quiet and continued thinking about the little girl he rescued. He pondered the thought of her actually being his child. She indeed resembled him when he was a child and she had Raven's eyes. There was no denying that fact. She really could be his! The more he thought about the idea, the less he believed Raven when she told him that she wasn't pregnant. He didn't know why Raven left, but he certainly considered that as a reason now that he saw the little girl. Beast boy snapped from his quiet reverie when Terra rose from the couch abruptly.

"They weren't killed, Robin. We handled it and took Light to was the mission and did what I was told. " Terra said, walking away. She understood that the kids were in danger, but she didn't do it on purpose. Everyone made mistakes on this team. She simply didn't understand why Robin was getting on her for something that obviously had an unintentional outcome.

Beast boy only stared at his girlfriend in anger. He didn't like the way she was acting about the whole ordeal. Robin was right. What if those kids were injured in that fire. And if that little girl was indeed his; she could have been dead for sure. Beast boy shivered at the thought. He never saw himself as a father, but if he truly was, hearing that his child is dead from a fire would break his heart for sure. He looked back at Terra again.

"'Terra! This isn't something to take lightly! Being a Titan isn't just beating up bad guys. We have to protect the people too. And if you can't understand that, then maybe you shouldn't be here!"

Everyone stared in shock. No one expected Beast boy to blow up like that. Terra glanced back, feeling hurt, shocked and embarrassed. She blushed then quickly turned and ran out of the common room.

"Damn, BB," Cyborg said impressively.

Beast boy sighed and sat back down on the couch. He ducked his head in his hands for a brief moment before responding. "I didn't know I would sound that harsh."

"Well, I think she..got the message," Robin said quietly.

"Because you decided to run off like that, you can organize the upstairs shelves by authors."

"Anything else?"

"And restock the printing papers in all the copying machines."

Miss Schwartz handed Raven a large stack of printing paper that was still unopened.

Raven took them and walked away from the old woman obediently. She was placed on light punishment for "abandoning" her shift. It wasn't much. Simple extra tasks that she needed to accomplish around the large library, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. She wished she could use her powers, but surveillance camera littered the corners of the large establishment like a prison.

She tried to avoid fighting with the old woman because she didn't want to risk losing her job. It was bad enough that she was walking on thin ice with the woman as it was. Schwartz might not understand, but Raven will place her daughter before anything else.

"How's your daughter, Rach?"

Raven looked up from the copying machine to the big gray eyes of her young coworker. "She's fine, just a little scared that's all."

The brunette nodded her head. "That's good. I'm happy she's safe."

"Yeah, so am I."

"And I can't believe that Schwartz is punishing you for leaving to get your daughter! I swear she can be so evil!

"Eli!"

Eli squealed and frantically went back to work on the computer when Schwartz screamed her name and came walking out of a nearby room. Unlike Raven, she had feared for the old woman, and it made Raven laugh sometimes. She had fought large monsters, evil murderers, and the powerful Trigon. No miserable woman will scare her.

"I'll talk to you later, Rach," Eli whispered when Schwartz walked by with a long wooden ruler in her hands.

Raven continued her many small tasks. She walked up to the second level and looked out the big bay windows that were behind the second lounge area. It was a beautiful view of the city with Titans Tower in the back, as usual. She didn't mind working at the library, but she couldn't stand her boss and some of the labor that came with it. She wished she could be back home with her daughter or at the Tower with her friends. There were many times when she wished she could see them once more or see how life was for them without her.

When Robin held her back at the fire scene, it wasn't the consultation she wanted with him. She thanked Azar that he didn't notice her. Robin can become so concentrated on one thing that he could miss the important details right in front of him. Raven closed the lid of the copying machine then moved to the next one. She missed fighting criminals and releasing her anger on them. Besides meditation, it was a good outlet for her powers. She simply missed her old life.

Now, she has a new life. A life that involves her daughter which is the only bright outcome to all of this.
