No one said a word, though they should have. Starfire glanced at Robin and Cyborg, while Robin stared at the floor, trying to process everything. Cyborg wasn't shocked at all. He stared at Terra, seeing her face drop and turn red as if she was about to sob right there in her spot or worse, kill Beast boy and Raven.

Raven avoided everyone's gaze and held onto the silent Farah even tighter. Her anxiety came back, and it was overbearing. She felt her knees buckle and her hands tremble slightly. Things were too quiet. Someone needed to say something...anything!

Robin opened his mouth to say a word but then he closed it. Even he couldn't comment on this sticky situation.

"I am confused," Starfire broke the silence. "Beast boy and Raven, you two had..the intercourse?"

The two didn't answer her question. They only looked at each other with frowns.

Starfire continued, glancing back at Terra. Her eyes knitted together in confusion as she tried to understand the drama. She was not fully accustomed to infidelity since it was not common on her own planet, and she never witnessed it from Robin. "But is friend Terra not your mate?"

Terra dropped the bags, causing a large thud to ring throughout the room. She huffed then walked through the doors. No one commented on her departure, but they did turn to Beast boy.

He sighed then followed after her.

"Terra, wait up."

Terra turned. Her face was red with fury and if looks could kill, Beast boy would be long dead. Beast boy stopped in front of her. His hands were open to hold her, but she pointed her finger and jammed it into his chest instead. "You had a kid with her!?"

Beast boy kept taking steps back the closer she strode to him. He gulped. "I understand that you're mad. You have every right to be, but I can explain. "

"Cut the bull, Gar!" She snapped. "You had a kid with her which means that you guys had sex years ago! When were you going to tell me?"

Beast boy had nothing to say to explain himself. "I've been meaning to tell you-"

"You cheated on me, you lying dog!" She slapped him hard on his cheek, causing Beast boy to swing his head to the right. He still didn't do anything in retaliation. She deserved to be mad at him. He longed to tell Terra, but couldn't find the guts or the right words. Now, she knows and everything was out in the open to be seen.

He rubbed his cheek slowly and glanced down at her. "I'm sorry. That's all I can say."

"You knew exactly what you were doing when you placed your dick inside of her." She started to walk away, looking at him in disgust. "Now she's back and she has your child, so go have fun with her instead."

Beast boy frowned and stared at the floor. Before she could turn the hallway, he spoke. "So..what are we?"

Terra paused. She sniffed as the tears finally flowed down her cheeks. "I don't know."

Beast boy stood in his spot and stared as she continued to walk away. It's great that he was able to finally bring Raven back, but he expected Terra's reaction the day Raven agreed to come back. Farah was his little secret that finally got revealed. Although his feelings for Terra were diminishing, he still felt bad for making her upset and ruining their relationship.

"Here's your room. We didn't touch a thing since you left."

Raven walked in with Farah still in her arms. Farah kept her head buried in Raven's shoulder with a few glances up and down. Raven smiled as she scanned her old bedroom. It's been such a long time since she had set foot in the dark interior.

"Friend, your little bumgorf is so adorable!" Starfire said sweetly. She stood behind Raven and tried to touch Farah's little hands but the toddler squealed in protest and quickly tucked them away before Starfire could grasp them.

"Don't worry about her," Raven said in reassurance. "She can be shy when meeting new people."

"We'll leave you two alone. I'm pretty sure your room needs a few dusting." Cyborg placed their suitcases near the door and gave a smile.

"Yes! I shall prepare a large feast in celebration of your return!" Starfire beamed before flying down the hall.

"I'll make sure we have edible food to eat," Robin said with a smirk.

"Thank you, so much."

"Don't sweat it girl. We're just happy you decided to come back."

Raven nodded and smiled when they left, leaving her and Farah alone in the room.

Farah finally looked up and stared at her surroundings. After glancing at about every inch of Raven's room she opened her mouth and talked frantically. "Mommy, why are they calling you Raven? And why is the guy made of metal? And that lady, why is she orange? And what was she talking about? Where did Beast boy go?"

Raven stayed silent. This was one of the confrontations she didn't want to have but knew would happen. She placed the toddler on the trunk that was at the end of her bed and got on her knees to be at her eye level. Raven placed her little hands in her owns and gave a small reassuring smile.

"Farah, mommy hasn't been honest with you..." Raven said softly. She paused, trying to come up with the right words to say. She found it hard to tell a 3-year-old the complicated reasons as to why she left her old life. So she kept it simple. "Before you were born, I lived here, with my friends and my name was Raven. They're my family..our family." Farah looked down at her mother, trying to process everything she was telling her. "And when you were in my tummy...I left and changed my name to Rachael because I wanted to have you and didn't want them to find me."

"But why do they look like the way they look?" She asked, still keeping eye contact with Raven.

"Because they're superheroes who fight bad guys like Beast boy. Starfire, the orange lady, can fly and throw starbolts. Cyborg, the metal guy, is half robot and is super strong, and Robin, he's human like you, I mean, us..but he's a really good fighter." Raven glanced and saw the slight confusion on her small face. " Ok, um..in other words, do you remember when you saw them on the TV?" Farah nodded eagerly, remembering watching a news segment on the Titans a few days before. Before Raven could finish, she asked another question.

"Why did you leave?"

Raven closed her eye, remembering the memories vividly. "Because it wasn't safe to have you here." Although that wasn't the only reason.

Farah tilted her head as she gradually started to connect the dots."Are you a superhero too?"

A knock interrupted their conversation. Raven walked to open the door and smiled shortly when Beast boy came in. Raven gave a sigh of relief. "Never have I been so happy to have Beast boy in my room." She had intentions to tell Farah about her powers, but she felt that it was too sudden. There was already so much information being told to her at once.

"How you are you guys doing so far?" He looked at them. His hands were in his pockets and his smile was big, though it was fake and he was just coming from an argument.

"We're doing fine, right Farah?"

Farah sat silently on the trunk. She was so confused but was happy to see Beast boy.

"Hey! Turn that frown upside down!" Beast boy transformed into a small kitten and hopped into Farah's lap. Her eyes lit up and she dropped her bear to lift the green animal in her small hands. Having never had such a small animal, she lifted Beast boy's kitten form weirdly causing him to wiggle out of her hands and onto the floor. She hopped off the trunk and chased him around, laughing.

Raven looked around her room, taking in the small details that she remembered so well. She started to wipe down the tables and counters. It's amazing how much dust can accumulate in a few years.

"I got you!"

Farah held the green kitten in her hands tightly and started to pet it harshly, forgetting that it was Beast boy that was in her arms. Again, he ran out of her arms and morphed back to his original form. "We have to teach you how to pet a cat." He said out of breath.

"See Rae, I told you that everything would be fine!"

"Is it really?"

Beast boy looked at her. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm not stupid, Beast boy. I saw the way Terra looked at us. She's obviously not happy that I'm here and especially that I had your child."

Beast boy groaned and flopped onto the bed, crossing his arms behind his head. "Ok, you're right, but don't worry about her. She'll get over it eventually."

Raven continued cleaning the dust around the room. "It's hard to simply 'get over' the fact that your boyfriend cheated on you and kept his child a secret for years."

"Technically, I've only known Farah as my daughter for a month." He smirked and chuckled when he heard her mumble a "shut up."

"Gar, I'm not going to tell you how to handle your relationships, but you need to fix this. Terra is highly upset. I could feel the anger radiating off from her."

Beast boy looked at her. "I know, I know. I will. I just don't know how…"

"Figure it out. Quick."

Beast boy silently agreed but continued to stare at Raven. Her back was towards him as she was still cleaning, and all he could do was take a deep look at her. Her curvy body and small waist. He missed seeing her on a daily basis, especially in her leotard uniform. At times, he would imagine what it would look like on her now. It would hug her so well. Beast boy stopped his seductive thoughts when he felt Farah's small hands pat his forehead.

"Beast boy, look. This is my doll, Cynthia." Beast boy smiled and took the blonde doll in his hand, examining it too. "I wanted to bring Mr. Petey, but mommy said no." She said with a pout.

"Cynthia looks..pretty?" He stared at the plastic figure. The face was beaten up and her blonde synthetic hair was tangled and stiff from constant use. The clothes on the doll were stained with marker drawings and the shoes were missing.

Farah snatched the doll from his hand then climbed off the bed again to open her suitcase and go through her belongings.

Beast boy looked back at Raven again. "Since you're at the Tower, why don't you take the ring off?"

Raven stiffened. "Um, I'll do it later."

"But why? I mean. There's no need to hide anymore-"

"Stop it, Beast boy." She said with a stern tone and giving him a hard glare too.

Beast boy quickly shut his mouth and looked back with confusion. "Has...has she seen what you really looked like?"

Raven bowed her head, leaning against the dresser. She looked up in the mirror and stared at her reflection. "No."

"But why, Rae? This isn't who you are."

"When she was younger, I would take it off whenever I came home from work. I wanted her to know, but..it were the small things that hindered me from doing that, so I decided to simply leave it on." She looked down at the silver ring that was sitting on her finger. All this time, she saw it as a second skin to her. Frankly, she couldn't remember the last time she took off the ring.

Beast boy got to his feet and leaned next to her on the dresser. "What happened?"

She continued to look down, taking a small side step away from him. "It was nothing big. There were times when I almost left the house without it on. I'm always late, so when I'm rushing, I would leave it on the table and just..forget. I was almost caught one morning by my neighbor. I walked right out the door and he called me. Thankfully, he didn't see me because I teleported myself back inside, but it was too close for comfort." She paused then finally continued. "I also didn't want to confuse her. She's so young, Beast boy. What is she going to think if she sees her mother change appearance on a daily basis with a flip of a ring? She might tell people. And I-..." She sighed and shook her head. "That's it."

Beast boy only nodded his head and stared at her. Slowly but surely, he wrapped a strong arm around her frame. At first, she was stiff and resilient to being in his touch but she soon relaxed in his arms when he wouldn't let her move away. "Raven, you're beautiful, and I don't think you should continue hiding who you really are." He placed a strand of her long hair behind her ear. "She's your daughter. She'll love you no matter what you look like. You're here, with us now. So if she tells one of us, we wouldn't be shocked." He said with a small laugh.

Raven looked up at him. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're right."

Beast boy smiled, showing his signaturefang. "Of course I am."

Please, little bumgorf, what is it that you eat?"

Farah sat silently in one of the chairs at the table. Raven held Farah's hand to help ease her slight fear, but the small blonde only stared back up at Starfire who had a big grin on her face.

"Would you like the pudding?" Starfire brought out a small bowl of brown glob from the fridge. Farah looked at the bowl with uncertainty but she still reached for it. Raven turned her attention back to them and quickly stopped her from touching the spoon.

"I don't think you're referring to the same pudding she's thinking, Star," Raven said politely.

"It's alright ya'll. Cyborg's whipping up his famous barbecue dinner." Cyborg stood in front of the stove with a large red apron tied over his body and a white chef's hat on his head to boost his pride. The fire to the grill was blazing but the smell of the meat was mesmerizing in the Tower.

"Dude, are you cooking my tofu?"

Cyborg looked back at him with a small scowl. "Usually, I would leave you to cook that disgusting crap, but since it's a good day, I'll be nice and cook it for you."

Beast boy looked at him in shock then grinned. "Wow, ok then. Better cook it well."

Everyone was at the table, waiting to be fed. Starfire and Robin sat next to each other on one side of the table as well as Terra who had her arms crossed and her eyes down, ignoring everyone. Raven and Farah sat next to each other across from them with Beast boy next to his daughter. Cyborg's empty seat was next to Beast boy.

"Alright now! Let's dig in. Farah, I hope you like BBQ food." Cyborg said in delight as he placed large plates of food on the table.

Farah looked at the meat in secret amazement. Never has she seen so much food on one table in her short life.

"Raven, she harbors your eyes!" Starfire whispered in amusement as she continued to stare at Farah's small body.

Fortunately for Raven, Farah was not listening. She still had the ring on, hiding her identity. No one questioned it and Raven was grateful.

"I just can't believe that she's the little girl we saved a year ago!" Robin said in disbelief. "And you were the woman I held back!?"

Raven nodded.

Robin grinned then placed his face in his hands, inwardly beating himself up. She was so close yet she managed to get away. If only he was more vigilant. So many different scenarios ran through his head, but the only thing he managed to say was, "Wow."

"Right! It didn't hit me until I saw her again." Cyborg said.

"Please, I do not remember seeing Farah."

"You weren't with us, Star." Beast boy started. "You and Terra went after Light while we stayed to stop the fire."

Raven didn't say much about the conversation. She was still very upset about what happened that day and remembers well that it was Terra who caused it. Raven tries not to hold grudges but almost killing her daughter isn't something she can brush under the rug.

"Enough talk, let's eat."

Robin was the first to take a plate and take a stack of ribs from the compilation of meat on the white dish. Starfire and Beast boy then joined. Raven took two plates. She placed a small number of meats on the plate such as a hot dog and a burger patty. She cut a singular rib from the stack of baby back ribs and placed it on Farah's plate. Once Raven took her own share, she placed the dish in front of her daughter and started to eat.

Farah glanced down at the plate then up at everyone else. Her chair was raised to its highest so that she could actually see and eat the food on the table. She glanced to her left and saw her mother eating, and if her mother was doing it then it must be fine. She glanced at Beast boy and saw him eating some white thing, but at least he was eating. Raven noticed her daughter's uneasiness. She rubbed her back and nodded. "Go ahead, Cyborg makes really good food."

"Yes ma'am, I do!" He grinned.

Farah took the burger in her hands. She took one bite then started to eat it contently when the flavors swam through her mouth. Cyborg noticed this and smiled. He poked Beast boy's side, catching his attention and whispered, knowing that Farah still didn't know that Beast boy was her father. "Looks like your own daughter isn't a vegetarian. She's on the meat side."

"Whatever dude, I'll change her when she gets older. Right, Farah?"

Farah continued to bite and nibble, too focused on her food to listen to Beast boy. Cyborg laughed while Beast boy grimaced in his seat at the sight of her eating the meat.

"I'm sorry to burst the happy bubble here, but am I the only one who's confused by all of this?"

Everyone looked at Terra due to her outburst. She was still angry, obviously. "Are we going to just sit here and think that nothing's wrong with any of this?"

"What do you mean friend Terra? There is nothing the wrong. Raven is back and we are very happy!"

"What do I mean? Yeah, Raven's back, that's awesome and all," She said sarcastically. "But she has a kid!" She yelled.

Farah stopped eating and looked up at Raven, scared.

"Terra, stop it. We can talk about this later in private." Robin gave her a hard stare. He moved to stand, but Terra only waved him away.

"No! Let's squash this now. I'm pissed at you, Beast boy because you cheated on me with her and kept this child a secret from me, from everyone! What are we going to do with a kid running around here? We're superheroes, not babysitters."

Raven balled her fist. This was exactly why she didn't want to come back.

"Terra, you're getting out of line. So what if Raven had a child. It doesn't matter! She's here, and we're ready to support her. There's nothing wrong with that."

She turned to Cyborg in disbelief. "Forget the fact that she's back. What are we going to do about her?" She jabbed a finger in Farah's direction. "Robin, what are you going to do about it? Paparazzi will notice her and start writing stories about this. The criminals are going to use this to their advantage."

"Not if we keep Raven and Farah here."

"Oh, so we're going to hide her and a baby in the Tower? What if they find out anyway? It seems like a lose-lose situation for us all."

"Friend Terra, stop. You are scaring the bumgorf!"

"Me? Scaring her? What if she sees Plasmus or Control Freak or worse, Slade? That's when she'll be scared."

Raven abruptly stood from her seat and carried Farah in her arms who started to silently cry. Without saying a word, she walked through the doors.

The Titans gave strong, angry scowls Terra's way when the doors closed. She crossed her arms and sat back down. "Don't look at me like that. You guys know it's true. She should have stayed wherever she was at."

"Damn it, Terra! Do you know how much coaxing I had to do to make her come back!" Beast boy pushed the plate away from him in anger.

"No, and frankly, I don't care. You should have kept your nose out of her business. I'm pretty sure she was fine before she came back here."

Starfire stood from her seat. Her hands were shimmering green as she marched towards Terra with her finger pointed. "You are being the..the...CLORBAG VARBLERNELK!"

Terra still kept her stubborn posture then simply turned her head. "I don't even know what that is.'' She said slowly.

Beast boy got up from the table and chased after the two.

Cyborg sighed and started to play with the remaining food that was on his plate. "All this screaming made me lose my appetite."

Beast boy stood in front of Raven's door and stared at it sadly. His ears drooped when he could perfectly hear Farah's muffled cries, and Raven's soft voice on the other side. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but then he lowered it with a defeated frown. Should he try to talk to them? Was now the right time? He finally found the courage and knocked on the door loudly. There was a long pause. Beast boy dropped his head and turned to leave, but the door swooshed open before he could take another step.

He walked in and saw Raven sitting on her circular bed with little Farah in her lap, crying. Beast boy frowned and nervously sat next to them. Raven made no mention to him. She had an angry expression on her face and tried her best to not look at him. Farah continued to cry albeit her mother rubbed her back lovingly and whispered soothing words of encouragement.

"I'm sorry about what she said..."

Raven ignored his apology and continued to cradle Farah. Before they reached her bedroom, the toddler asked Raven what Terra was talking about at the table, but Raven only hushed and advised her to not think about it.

Beast boy transformed into a small puppy and slowly walked to the other side of the bed where he could see both Farah's and Raven's faces. Raven rolled her eyes, still upset, but Farah started to calm down when she saw the small dog sitting on the bed with his tail wagging. Once he gained her attention, he ran to her and nuzzled his dog body into the crook of her arms. Farah stopped her crying and sat up, forcing Ravne to put down her arms and lean back. Tears were still in her eyes, but she was now looking at the small dog that was rubbing and playing in her lap. Raven used the sleeves of her cardigan to wipe Farah's puffy eyes and nose. Beast boy barked then licked Farah's small red nose. She gave a small smile, but she was still sad.

Raven pulled Farah's hair back from her face tenderly. She then cupped her small young face into her warm hands to have her look up. "Don't listen to her, sweetheart. She's just a bitter lady that doesn't like to see people happy. Ignore everything that she tells you because she's wrong. Starfire, Robin and Cyborg loves you and would hate to see you leave."

Farah didn't say anything but she nodded her head. Beast boy hopped from her lap then transformed back to normal right next to Raven. He looked at Farah with warm eyes. "Yeah. Don't worry about her. She's a big fat meanie!" He said in a funny tone.

Farah gave a small giggle.

Beast boy gasped. "Was that a smile I saw!?" Farah smiled then turned from Beast boy and snuggled into her mother's arms playfully.

Raven held her close, playing with her locks. She looked at Beast boy. "I told you this would happen."

Beast boy exhaled and swept a hand through his hair. "I'll fix it, Rae. Don't worry."

"I'm not going to stop worrying until I know with certainty that she won't terrorize my child."

"I'll make sure of it. She's not going to mess our child."

Raven glanced back down at Farah. She had a strong feeling that this was only the beginning of the troubles they will face here at the Tower.

Thanks for the reviews! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next update on Wednesday.
