Thanx to all the ppl who reviewed to my other chappys.

Again I wrote this one in class. I don't know how it is.

Raven woke with a really, really sick stomach. Rolling to her side, she puked in the bucket. Sitting up, she shakily wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and inwardly sighed. "Great," she mumbled sarcastically, "morning sickness."

Getting up, she stumbled down the hall to the bathroom. Washing her face with cold water, she looked up and sighed.

There was no one in the kitchen when she walked in. She saw a note on the table and picking it up she saw it read:

Rae,

I had to go to work. If you want me you can call me on my cell. The number is 683-5209. If you want it, I got you a job. I'll fill you in on the details when I get home. Help yourself to what's in the fridge. I'm not sure if there's anything edible in there but you can check. See you when I get back from work.

Rach

Raven walked over to the fridge and sighed. All teens and young adults were the same (Rachel was 20). There was not fit for human consumption in there. Closing the door she looked in the cupboards she found(much to her delight) a box of Fruit Loops. At least she could eat something. Filling a kettle that she found with water and putting it on the stove, she poured up a bowl of Fruit Loops and added milk. Leaning against the counter, she, impatiently, waited for the water to boil.

"Only another couple of months of morning sickness," she murmured then turned to prepare her tea after seeing steam shoot out of the spout.

Sipping her tea, she walked to the living room and sat down on the couch, leaving her cereal on the counter, not feeling like she could keep any solid substances down right now.

She sat down on the couch and turned on the tv using her powers. The channel was on Much already so she left it. Although she would never admit it, she loved the music that came on there. Finishing her tea, she stood up and walked back to her room. Looking at the walls which had been painted white, she made a mental note to repaint it as soon as possible. Seeing her bag dropped in a corner, she stooped down and started digging through it. Smiling when she found what she was looking for, she pulled out her laptop(A/N: I can't remember if I said she put it in there but if I didn't just say I did) and walked back to the living room.

Curling up on the couch, she placed the laptop infront of er and turned it on. Waiting for it to load. Glancing up at the tv, she saw 'Everybody's Fool' by Evenesence. Closing her eyes, she relaxed as the familiar words washed over her. Hearing the 'beep' that signaled that the laptop was loaded, she quickly typed in her password (boywonderissexy) and opened up a file on word. Typing 'Baby Names' at the top, she wrote 'Nikki Jay Rothen(Girl)' then 'Robbie Tylor Rothen(Boy)'.

"See what Rach thinks of my baby names," Raven muttered as she saved the document and got up stretching. Smiling to herself she walked to the bathroom. For a shower...who knows, maybe she'd go looking for baby stuff after.

Robin woke up with a start. Looking at the clock he swore. Damn early morning rising habits. It was 6am. Knowing he wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep he got up growling and stumbled to the bathroom. Instead he walked into a wall. Dazed he realized he wasn't in his room. He glanced around and groaned when he realized that he had fallen asleep in Raven's room.

Shrugging, he walked into her bathroom and jumped in the shower. Looking at the many different shampoos and soaps he chose a lavender scented shampoo and soap. Letting the warm water run over him he inhaled. The scent was pure Raven. Sighing he got out of the shower and grabbed a navy towel embodied with a black raven.

Wrapping it around his waist, he walked to Raven's door and peeked down the hall before he dashed across the hall to his room. Grabbing a clean uniform and mask he spiked his hair with massive amount of hair gel...just like any other day...but today wasn't a normal day, and the days would never be normal again now that Raven was gone.

Walking back across the hall and into her room, he tried to think of a password that she would use. Opening the trap door he once again sat down at the computer and tried nearly every word or phrase that came to mind. After an hour of this, he became very frustrated and agitated.

"Open up you freakin file," he yelled, hitting the monitor only to jump back swearing profusely as he cradled his throbbing hand. Taking several deep breaths, he decided to go to the gym to work off his frustration before he destroyed everything that was in the room. As it turned out, it took a very long time.

An hour later, Robin was still taking his anger out on the punching bag. Actually, the punching bag was resting on the floor for the fifth time in that hour. Robin was resting with his hands on his knees. His head was bowed and he was breathing hard. His normally spiky hair was flattened against his skull with sweat. Sighing he ran a shaky hand over his forehead and glared at the punching bag. Limping(he'd hit his foot really hard and twisted it) over to the water cooler in the corner of the room.

He was just regaining his breath when the room flashed red and the alarm blared. He ran down to the main room where the other titans were already assembled.

"It's Slade," Cyborg said looking at his leader in concern. He knew that Robin had spent the night in Raven's room and his disheveled appearance didn't lessen his concern. Raven's disappearance had driven Robin nearly to the breaking point. Cyborg was worried that Slade may drive Robin over the edge completely.

Robin's face was made of stone. "Let's go," he said and ran towards the door to the T-Car. The others exchanged looks, all wondering if they should let him go. They made a silent agreement that they would not let him go off on his own to fight Slade or allow him to lock himself in his or Raven's room after the fight. After the silent agreement, they followed their leader out the door.

Once they got to the scene, Slade-bots were everywhere.

"Titans Go!" Robin yelled as he took out his bo-staff and ran straight into the fight and started attacking the robots...no maybe 'attacking' is too light if a word. Ripping them apart would be better.

The other titans exchanged looks and started to fight. Soon the fight was so intense that they didn't notice Robin stop fighting and run down a dark and secluded alley.

Robin saw a figure in the shadows. He growled when he saw Slade dart into a nearby alley. Destroying the robot that he was currently fighting, he ran after Slade.

Once he got to the opening of the alley did he slow to a walk. Stepping cautiously further in, he was nearly to the end when he cried out in pain as he was struck from the side. Flying into a wall, he groaned as he rubbed his head and stumbled to his feet, only to have a hand clamp around his throat and lift him off his feet. He groaned again as he was shoved into the wall, his eyes snapping shut as his head slammed into the wall. Searing pain in his head and spots dancing in his eyes he couldn't see who or what was holding him.

"Hello Robin," Slade sneered venomously. "What's that matter Robin? Have you lost your will to fight? Or did you lose your reason to fight?"

Robin growled at the sound of Slade's voice. Blinking furiously to rid his eyes of the bright spots, he glared at Slade. "No," he growled, trying to pry Slade's hand from his neck. "I can still fi-" he was cut off when Slade's hand tightened.

"No Robin. I don't think you can. I've been watching you. You haven't been able to do anything since your little raven flew the coop," Slade said, smirking as Robin's face turned into a mask of insane rage.

"What did you do to her?" Robin demanded, fear pooling in the pit of his stomach. "Where is she?"

"Oh don't worry Robin, I know where she is...I'm just not telling you," Slade sneered, burying his spare fist into Robin's stomach. He watched in sick delight as Robin started coughing and convulsing. Laughing, he released his grip on Robin's neck. Robin fell to the ground with a 'thump'. Crouching down be the coughing boy who had curled up in a fettle position he smiled. Cupping the teenage boy's chin in his hand he forced him to look him in the eye. "Oh, and Robin, it's not what I did, it's because of what you did that she left."

With that Slade punched the fallen boy wonder in the back of his head, successfully rendering him unconscious. Dropping the boy's head, Slade stood up and walked back in the shadows and disappeared, laughing that bone chilling laugh.

About five minutes later, the remaining titans had destroyed all the Slade-bots, only then did they notice that Robin was missing. Their hearts jumped to their throats and they started their fearful search.

Beast Boy was walking past an alley as a dog when he heard a quiet groan. Quickly morphing back into a human, he called Cyborg and Starfire over. Cyborg went in first, soon followed by the other two.

Upon seeing Robin lying on the ground with small trail blood dripping from his mouth, Cyborg ran over and gently picked him up and ran to the T-Car. Not waiting for the other two he started driving to the tower as fast as he could. Starfire flew up and started following the car, Beast Boy was just behind her as a hawk.

Getting back to the tower, Cyborg jumped out of the car, pulled Robin from the back seat and raced up to the med lab. Gently laying Robin on the hospital bed and hooking him up to the machines, Cyborg leaned against the door frame and waited for Beast Boy and Starfire to get there. He didn't have to wait long.

"Dude...is Rob gonna be ok?" Beast Boy asked , throwing worried glances at his leader. He'd hardly ever seen Robin look so...weak...and it was scaring him.

"Yes, I wish to know that Friend Robin is going to be ok and Friend Raven is going to return to us," Starfire whispered then started crying on Beast Boy's shoulder.

"I don't know ya'll," Cyborg whispered looking at his feet.

"RAVEN!" Robin yelled shooting up from the hospital bed. Cyborg jumped up and ran over to Robin, leaving Beast Boy to comfort Starfire in the hallway, and tried to push him back in a lying position but Robin continued struggling and a steady stream of curses came from his mouth.

"Yo, Rob calm down man," Cyborg yelled at his friend, masking his surprise at the words that Robin was screaming, as he struggled to keep him on the bed. Finally he began to calm down. Hesitantly Cyborg backed away. Robin sat up, breathing heavily as he looked at Cyborg with a look of confusion on his face. Shifting his gaze from Cyborg he looked around the room.

"Where am I?" he asked, rubbing his head and looking at Cyborg again.

Startled by Robin's voice which wasn't the commanding tone that he was so used to, it was the voice of a normal teenage who was unsure of his place in the world and was insecure. Because of this it took Cyborg a moment for him to answer. "Your in the med lab Rob," he said looking at Robin who's gaze continued to wander. "You got knocked out," he continued. Robin looked at Cyborg then started to get up but stopped, wincing as he doubled over, one hand holding his throbbing head and the other resting on his stomach.

"Dude, are you ok?" Beast Boy asked as he walked in to see Robin doubled over on the bed. It made him look almost...human...and that scared him just as much as seeing Robin looking weak, especially since he thought Robin to be invincible. Starfire followed him timidly.

Wincing slightly, Robin lifted his head and gazed intently at the two titans. Unnerved, Starfire shrank back from his penetrating stare. "I'm ok, but I have a question, do you think you can answer it?" Robin asked glancing at Cyborg who nodded hesitantly. "W-who...are you?"

A/N: Another chappy done. How is it? Tell me what you thought of it. If you still thinks it drags a little I'll try not to have too much info in the next one. Now time for some voting. After Raven had her baby I was originally going to fast foward ahead sixteen years. Do you want me to do that or do you want me to go through important ages too. Send a review on which you think I should do. Also, do you want me to go through Raven's pregency or focus on certain points. I can't really write much more until I have the answers. Until next time R&R.
