Chapter 7
Reviews:
Terra Rock: I'm sorry if it was confusing. I know it was short and I'm really sorry but I had writer's block for Raven's part. I really don't know what's confusing you so if you tell me what you found confusing say in the next review and I'll try to explain it to you.
Inspector: Tis ok. Flamers are(correct me if I'm wrong people but this is what I think it is) are people who criticize stories just because the don't like the pairing or something. I don't really know but that's what I gather from seeing it in summaries. Thanks for the complements. It gives me a huge shot of self esteem. I will do it don't worry.
-titans-phanatic-lol-: Thank you I try. You'll find out where Raven is in this chappy don't worry.
lllonegood: I have no idea why I didn't get that. Harry Potter rocks! Thanks. Sorry if you didn't quite get it. I hope you find out what you needed in this chapter.
pureangel86: To tell you the truth...I don't really know how he knew her password but he forgot just about everything about the titans so I just put that in. There is a method to my madness...I just don't know what it is yet. I'm not sure about that yet but everything will come together in the end...somehow.
Jessie: Your not allowed to quote me. Not in a mocking way anyway. You do have a chance to kill me...but not if I kill you first -starts walking around in the shadows holding a butcher's knife saying 'here Jessie Jessie Jessie.'- yes Jessie you have killed me and that's why I'm still writing this story. You'll be in the story LATER! Now stop asking.
Tecna: Thank you. Thank you-bows-. Glad you liked it. Hope you like this chapter half as much.

Just a little note before I start the story: when Raven and Rachel are alone, Rachel calls Raven Raven. When they are out in public or around other people, Rachel calls Raven Rebecca. Hopefully this will make the story a little less confusing.
Story Starts Now...I think:
After her shower and the few spoonfuls of cereal that she was able to down, Raven settled down on the couch, again, and checked her emails. There was one from the goth guy named Zack that she met at a party that she went to. They'd started talking and found that they had a lot in common. They'd exchanged emails and phone numbers and even went on a few dates.
Smiling, she opened it up and read:
hey rae,
I heard that u left jump. the titans is lookin 4 u. I think somethin happened 2 that robin dude...hes gone bac 2 his home or somethin. Can u tell me where u is? I wont tell no1 else. We could hang or somethin. Email me bac. Get on the net nite 8 ttyl.

Chuckling, she emailed him back:

rae :(
Sending it she jumped when the door opened. Seeing it was only Rachel, she settled back down and started scrolling through her links to find something to do. Seeing nothing she started a game of solitaire.
"So when are you going to shop for baby stuff?" Rachel asked, stirring Raven from the little concentration that she was using at the moment. "And are you going to change your name?" she continued after a pause. Raven sighed, she wondered when this would come up.
"No I'm not really going to change my name. When I go to parties I go as Rebecca Rothen so that's what I'll use now. That matter is solved. As for baby stuff, I really wasn't going to get much till I found out if it was a boy or girl but I think it's twins...a boy and a girl," Raven said, looking at her stomach, which was still quite small compared to what it was going to be in a couple of months.
"And how do you know that?" Rachel asked, rasing an eyebrow.
"Because I can fee them. They share a mind link and I can hear them talking to each other. They're gonna be hell to look after when they're born," she muttered, rubbing her temples.
"What are you going to call them?"
"I think I'm going to call the boy Robbie and the girl Nikki."
"Ok...well what are you waiting for? We have to get stuff for two babies!" Rachel exclaimed grabbing Raven's hand.
"But Rach I don't..." Raven rambled but by then Rachel had tuned her out.
"Rae, I'm gonna pay for but you can pay me back when you can," Rachel said, looking Raven in the eye knowing that she would never accept charity. "You can consider this their birthday, baby shower and Christmas presents from me ok."
"Fine," Raven sighed, knowing that she was fighting a losing battle. "We'll go when you want to.
"Ok! Get ready!" Rachel exclaimed then seeing Raven's questioning look she rolled her eyes in mock hopelessness. "We're going to get baby stuff."
"Fine...but you have to call me Rebecca," Raven growled, not quite able to suppress a smile. Shaking her head, she followed and overexcited Rachel to the car. Frowning slightly she wondered how she was going to be able to survive this trip.

"We are NOT going to go in there," Raven or Rebecca said. "they only have pink and baby blue stuff in there...my kids are not going to have those colors," she said, crossing her arms and glaring at Rachel.
"Come on Becca."
"No! We're going to Hot Topic. They have a baby section(A/N: Dunno what's in the store. Never been there. I want to go but I don't know if or where one is in Newfoundland. Correct me if I'm wrong. And if you know of one in Newfoundland or around like in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick even P.E.I. please tell me. Since I've never been there please just go along with me on this.) and it's mostly black or other dark colors," Rebecca said and started walking towards the store. Slightly taken aback, Rachel quickly got over her surprise and followed Rebecca with a little less excitement then before.
When she did get there, Rebecca was already going through some baby clothes that was on the rack. "What do you think of these?" she asked holding up some suits when Rachel got there. One said 'Life Sucks' and the other said 'Prep Killer.'
"They have those for babies! They are so CUTE!" Rachel squealed, grabbing the clothes and holding them up.
"Um...ya," Rebecca said. "There's some blankets and cribs and stuff over there. I'm goin to go look...you can come if you want," she said and walked away.
Rachel, however, stayed and picked out more baby clothes. After seeing the type that Rebecca wanted she picked out the ones that she thought Rebecca might like.
Rebecca gasped when she saw two cribs set up by the wall. One was black and had blue stars and moons decorating the frame while the other was dark purple and had black ravens on the frame. There were matching blankets and mobiles for each.
Rachel, upon hearing Rebecca gasping, went up and stood beside her. "I take it you found your cribs," she said looking at Rebecca's choice. She smiled when all she could do was nod.
"Alright, we'll get some stuffed animals, some bottles, blankets and paint for yours and the baby's rooms. Here look at these, pick the ones you want and I'll get it fixed so they'll deliver the cribs to the house," Rachel said. After finishing saying this, she shoved a pile of baby clothes in Rebecca's arms and walked to the checkout.
Five minutes later, Rebecca was still going through the clothes. She'd only got rid of two outfits. She looked up for a minute when Rachel showed up.
"Can't decide can you," Rachel said dryly. Rebecca shook her head. "How bout this, we'll go fifty fifty. You pay for half and I'll pay for the rest k," Rachel suggested with a smile.
"Thanks Rach,' Rebecca said with a quick hug then she bent down and picked up the clothes. "You're the best."
They walked to the cash and bought the stuff. It turned out that Rachel had already bought bottles and ten stuffed animals. They carried it to the car then they walked back into the mall and went to the paint shop.
"What color do you want for your room?" Rachel asked as they walked to the wall with all the paint samples.
"Very very very dark purple," she answered looking at the samples. "This one here," she murmured pulling on out.
"And for the babies?"
"Deep blue and deep purple," she replied, her violet eyes skimming the samples. "These two."
"Ok. Lets go," Rachel said. They walked to the checkout and Rebecca was taking gout her card when Rachel stopped her. "My house, I'll pay," she said ignoring Rebecca's objections and paid for the paint.
Thanking the cashier, Rachel groaned as she lifted the cans. "Hey Becca, think you can help a bit?" she muttered.
"No prob. Azarath Metrion Zinthos," Rebecca chanted quietly and the cans lifted up a bit so they were lighter but unnoticeable. The girls were able to lift them with ease and walk out to the car like it. They put the paint in the backseat and got in the front.
"So what are you going to do when we get home Rae?" Rachel asked, turning on the car.
"Well I'm supposed to get on the net and talk with Zack at eight. I think I'm going to paint my room," Raven said looking out the window. "When are the cribs coming?"
"Um...tomorrow. Now about that job. There's a club a few blocks from where I work that's looking for a waitress. What do you think?" Rachel asked, glancing at Raven.
"I guess I'll try it...are you sure you couldn't get a job for me where I don't have to socialize," she said smirking.
"I'm sure and I think that you will like it. It's a goth club."
"For that much I thank you. I'll be around my own kind...I still don't like people though."
"I know. Your boss's name is Fred. I talked to him and he said that you can take time off when you have the kids. He has a kid now so when yours are born you can take them to his house and his wife'll babysit them. The house is right next door so you can check on the during their breaks or somethin."
"Thanks Rach. You're a lifesaver...literally," Raven said smiling slightly.
"Are you hungry? If you are we can stop and get some grub...not like there's much at the house."
Raven was about to answer with her usual 'no' when her stomach growled.
"Food it is," Rachel muttered, turning the car into McDonald's drive-thru. "What are you going to have?" she asked rolling down the window.
"Fries and a Mountain Dew."
"That's all?" Rachel asked. Raven nodded. "Ok. One large fries, one medium fries, one medium Pepsi, one medium Mountain Dew and one Big Mac," Rachel said into the mic.
"That will be $18.95. Pay at the window."
They drove up to the window and a prep was standing there. Rachel handed her a twenty and the prep upon seeing the goth girl in the passenger seat she opened her mouth but was quickly silenced by a glare from Raven.
"Here's your change," the prep managed to squeak as she shoved the food and change at Rachel then slammed the window and backed out of view.
"Um...thanks," Rachel said, looking at the closed window.
The drive home was in silence. Rachel ached to start a conservation but she could tell by the look on Raven's face that she was thinking hard. When they pulled into the driveway Rachel turned off the car and got out.
Raven came out of her trance when she heard the door slam. She'd been thinking about what she was going to do with the babies when they were born. She didn't want to live off of Rachel forever. She was keeping them and when she got a job that payed well, she'd rent an apartment. Sighing, she got out of the car and helped Rachel get the bags into the house.
After eating supper(it was actually Rachel forcing Raven to eat) Raven got out her laptop and logged on msn. Her name was 'Goddess Of The Night' and Zack was on and his was 'Zack: Prince of Darkness'. Rolling her eyes and chuckling slightly she messaged him. Their conservation was like this:

She exited out of the window and closed the laptop. She grabbed her can of paint from the porch and walked to her room.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she chanted and her room was bathed in her dark power. When the power disappeared, the room's walls were painted dark purple. Her bed from the tower was there along with some of her statues and books that Robin hadn't had a chance to take...not that she knew that he was taking them. Smiling to herself she looked around the room and picked a book off the shelf, curled up on her bed and started to read. After an hour she fell asleep.
A/N: I was going to stop here but then I thought of all the nice reviews that I got hint hint
The next morning Raven was woken up by Rachel shaking her.
"Morning sleepyhead," Rachel said teasingly.
"Five more minutes," Raven muttered and tried to hide her head in her pillow.
"No you have to get up right now or else you'll be late for your first day of work," Rachel said sounding like a prep. She smiled wen Raven groaned.
"I hate you."
"I know."
"You had to get a job for me where I had to deal with people and get up in the morning didn't you," Raven mumbled as she stumbled out of bed, grabbed a pile of clothes that was on a chair in the corner of the room and stumbled to the bathroom, a steady stream of curses following her.
"Breakfast is on the table, Rachel said fifteen minutes later when Raven exited the bathroom and sank down in a chair. She grabbed a slice of toast and took a bite. With a flick of her wrist a cup of already made tea floated towards her open palm. "So that's why the kettle was on when I woke up," Rachel said as Raven took a sip.
"Shut up and let me eat," Raven muttered.
"Not a morning person are we?"
"I'm a night person...Rach I gotta ask you something."
"Ask away."
"Can Zack come stay for a while?"
"Sure he can. Do you like him?"
"No," Raven muttered blushing.
"You're blushing."
"Can we stop this conservation now. I think it's time for you to go to work."
"Oh damn! Your right!" she yelped when she glanced at the clock. "Now where'd I put those..."
"Keys," Raven finished holding up the keys.
"Yes."
The girls ran to the car and got in. Rachel put in a cd and cranked up the volume.
"Here we are," Rachel said ten minutes later. "I'm going home at seven. Here's the house keys in cause you want to go home before that. If not, be ready at seven. If you need me here's my cell number and the office number. Go get em tiger. Good luck!" Rachel said.
"Thanks. Remember if you call me I'm Rebecca," Raven said closing the door. She waved until the car was out of sight. Only then did she turn and look at the place that she was going to be working. It was a gloomy place. 'Just my kind of place,' Raven now Rebecca thought. She walked up the steps to the location of her new job she opened the door. God help the men who decided to try and flirt with her.
A/n: how was it? 14 pgs...I think that's pretty good. Of coarse the reviews took up space and so did the conservation. Oh well. Tell me what you think of it. Any mistakes...please don't hurt me I'm typing this part at 3:02 am. Hey Inspector! What do you think of my story? There's going to be more don't worry. R&R.
