Ah, life as I know it is about to change. I just got a for real job! So, that means I will have less time to devote to writing. Though I will try and sneak some time in whenever I can. Don't worry TOO much, there will be chapters now and then. This story has about... three major plot points for me to get through before it's done and I can move on.

Thanks for the reviews, I really enjoy the inflow of email!

Thyme woke up at five o'clock with what was now the usual routine. Head to the bathroom, puke her guts out, shower, then go have toast and read. But this morning something didn't feel right. She felt slightly sicker than usual.

It all became clear to her when she felt a shooting pain in her stomach. She doubled over in and grabbed the kitchen counter for support. No one else was awake yet and she didn't think she could yell out for anyone. Thinking quickly, she teleported into Raven's room and then collapsed on her floor.

"Ty?" Raven sat up in bed and looked over at the girl, realizing something was wrong. She then disappeared and reappeared in the common room and pressed the emergency button. She went back to Thyme and waited there.

Robin was the first to find them. "What happened?"

"I don't know, I just found her here." Raven checked her for a pulse and to her relief Ty rolled over and gave a small moan.

"We need to get her to the hospital."

"No, not there." Beast Boy came in and protested. "What about another place?"

"What would you suggest?" Aqualad asked, all of them were there now.

Speedy (surprisingly enough) had an idea. "What about one of those Teen Pregnancy Centers?"

"Cyborg?" Robin turned to face him. Cyborg was searching something on his scanners.

"There's one in the next town over. I can get her there in about twenty minutes."

"Then let's get going!"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"It's a simple case of high stress levels." The doctor stated. "It's just the baby's way of telling you that you are doing too much."

Ty was laying on a hospital bed in a small white room. It looked a lot like the nurse's office you see in a public school. Robin was with her and slightly embarrassed at the way he had gotten to be there. The doctor was under the impression he was the father.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" She said.

"You need more rest, and less excitement. Though… if you are living with teen superheroes then I guess that will be hard to get." The doctor considered this. "I suggest you not go with them on any of their missions, or whatever they do. And I am keeping you here overnight to make sure this doesn't become any worse."

"Alone?" She almost whimpered.

"Yes, alone." The doctor looked at Robin with an almost angry stare. "Visiting hours are until six. I'll be the doctor on call all night and the women who volunteer here will be happy to help you in any way they can."

"I'm sorry, but we can't allow that." Robin sat straight in his chair and made as if to stand. "She needs to be protected."

"I'm sure you are feeling very protective of her and the baby, but she is perfectly safe here." The doctor said. She flipped open a chart and pulled some bottles out of the cabinet. "These are pre-natal vitamins. You should take them daily." She handed the bottle to Thyme and left the room.

"I'll be ok." Ty blinked back tears. Each eye in turn, so as not to stop time.

"Just the same, I am going to see if I can arrange for one of us to stay here with you anyway." He stood and walked out into the hallway.

The building was small. Cyborg had driven right past it while they were looking for it. It had a small room at the entrance that was used as a waiting room. It had a door that led into the hallway he was in now, and the hallway led to three rooms, one bedroom used for overnights, an exam room, and a small lab that doubled as an office.

He entered the waiting room and saw something that would shock a normal person. Eight teen superheroes were seated, along with a teen couple and a young woman with a small baby and a two year old. The two year old was playing with Beast Boy, his mother staring, completely shocked. Mas and Menos were playing a violent version of Rock Paper Scissors, and Starfire was watching intently. Raven and Bumble Bee were cluing Speedy in on all of Thyme's experience that they knew of, and Aqualad was talking to the couple. Cyborg had gone back to the tower in case there was trouble, he had never been comfortable with doctors anyway.

"She is fine." He said as they all looked at him in unison. "She has to stay overnight for observation, but the doctor just says it's stress."

"I could have told you that." Raven mumbled.

"Can we go see her now?" By 'We' Beast Boy meant 'Me'.

"Sure, but I think that doctor will get mad if we send in more than two at a time."

They decided that Titans East would go in first and say their goodbyes before they left to get back to Steel City. Then Raven and Starfire would go, closely followed by Beast Boy and Robin.

"I'll leave this here with you, in case of an emergency." Robin said as he handed her his communicator. She had been moved to the bedroom and the doctor had come by to see her one last time before leaving. There was only a night nurse there now.

"I'll see you later Ty." Beast Boy said, she hugged him as he leaned over the bed and watched him leave. Once they were both gone she felt free to cry. She knew that this night would be awful. After spending two weeks with the Titans, she was not ready to give up the feeling of not being alone. She lay down and flipped through the channels on the small TV mounted from the ceiling. After seeing that there was nothing on, she turned it off and sighed.

"I don't even have a good book to read." She said aloud to no one in particular. She looked out her window and saw a small creature climbing down the side of it. She realized it was a monkey, when it opened the window and crawled in. It had a small purple backpack and when it hit the ground she saw it morph into Beast Boy.

"What are you doing here?" She asked in surprise.

"I brought you stuff." He sat on the bed and began pulling CD's and a Walkman out of the bag, along with the book she had been reading. "I didn't want you to get bored."

"Thanks." Ty flipped through the CD's and then looked at him with lonely blue eyes. "Don't leave, please. I don't want to be alone."

"Ok, but what about the nurse?" He whispered, hearing footsteps in the hall.

"I've got an idea."

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"I've never seen a green dog before." The nurse sounded unconvinced.

"My mom was dying the curtains in our living room when he was a puppy and he fell into the dye." Ty explained quickly. Beast Boy gave her a funny look.

"Alright, I guess a dog is ok. It's not like this is a real hospital or anything." The nurse winked. Ty couldn't tell if she was winking at the idea of having a dog in the clinic, or if she somehow knew that it was really Beast Boy.

After she had gone, Thyme and Beast Boy sat and talked until she was ready to go to sleep. "I'm not sure about this." She hesitated. "It's kinda weird."

"Well…" Beast Boy grinned and morphed back into "Fido", he was soon curled up at the foot of the bed and it took Ty only minutes to fall asleep.

Thyme: Congratulations on the Job, I hope you do well.

I should, I have a creative mind.

Thyme: I'll say...
