"Rae?" She looked up.
"Yes Gar?" He smirked.
"Since when do you call me by my real name?" Raven sighed.
"Gar, we're going to be leaving this behind in a matter of ten months! Soon, we'll be normal people. Living normal lives. Raising a family." Beast Boy put his arm around her.
"I know Rae; I know. But once the babies are born, we'll spread apart. But, we'll still be friends. Just because we're all going to live normal lives, doesn't mean that you'll never see the girls again. The guys and I have already started house hunting. We have several on reserve; all in the same neighbor hood."
Raven looked up. She had a doubtful look on her face. Beast Boy took a deep breath; he held out a small box.
"You asked for a happy ending. And I promised one for the both of us." Raven gasped ever so slightly. "And I always keep my promises. Raven." He got up and bent down on one knee. "Would you marry me?" Raven took deep breaths.
"Rae? Raven? Raven!" She was hyper-ventilating. "Rae! Are you alright?"
"Just….Just…Just let me think for a minute." Beast Boy's face fell.
"You don't want to marry me?" Raven shook her head.
"No, I'm just…scared. I don't know what's going to happen. After our baby is born, we're going to leave everything we've done for such a long time. I'm afraid." Beast Boy held her close to his body.
"Don't worry, whatever happens, everything will be okay. I promise." Raven sighed peacefully.
"So are you going to marry me or not?" Raven said coyly. Beast Boy smirked and kissed her.
-Ten minutes later, in the living room-
"You too?!? Damn. I'm going to be broke in a matter of hours at this rate!" Bee groaned as she laughed.
"Oh Friend Raven!" Starfire hugged her tightly.
"Star! I know! You're my best friend! But! You've got to Stop! Doing this!" raven gasped.
"Star! She can't breathe!" Kole cried. Starfire squeaked.
"Eep!" She let go. "Oops. My apologies!"
"It's (gasp) alright (gasp) Star…." Jinx laughed.
"Note to self: Never let Starfire hug you. Hug her first."
"Or start talking about Robin." Kole had a mischievous gleam in her eye. Starfire smiled.
"Ooh! Robin! He is the most thoughtful, sweet, kind…" Kole smirked.
"What I tell you?" Bee laughed.
"Come on Rae! We have shopping to do." Raven groaned.
"Great."
-One very long hour later-
"You sure? We could find something more decorative." Starfire suggested. Raven shook her head.
"Star, I was never good with the frills and bows. What we got is fine." Starfire shrugged.
It was a white silk dress. Lace sleeves and a small ribbon below the chest.
"You know, we shouldn't be wearing white." Jinx pointed out.
"Why not?" Kole asked.
"White is a symbol of purity and virginity. As we all know, none of us are virgins."
"Hm. I see your point. But I still can!" Bee grinned. Kole laughed.
"I hate you." The door opened. The six guys walked in with the groceries.
"Hi. We were just wondering, when will Beast Boy and Raven's wedding?" Robin asked.
"A week after Jericho and Kole's." Jinx answered as she wrote down everything in a planner. "At the rate you guys are moving, we will be out of here a week after the kids are born!" They all nodded.
-The next day-
"All right. Jericho and Kole are going to be married in two days people! We have work to do!" Bee clapped her hands. Kole, I want you to talk everything over with Jericho. Raven, Starfire. You are on decoration committee. Jinx, find some bride's maid's outfits. Make them fancy, elegant, and yet simple. I'll go out and get the little do-dads we'll needs. Okay? Thought so." No answer. "Come on! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"
-Jericho and Kole's room-
"Jericho?" Kole asked softly. He looked up from his book. Jericho smiled and patted the spot on the bed.
Kole stepped into the room and sat down quietly.
"Kole…What's wrong?" Kole shook her head.
"Oh nothing. Nothing. No. Nothing at all..." Her voice trailed off.
"Are you sure? Do you…not want to get married?" Kole gasped.
"No. Jericho. I love you. I'm just…nervous." Kole leaned against him. Jericho hugged her.
"We all are. None of us were expecting this. But it will turn out fine. Trust me."
"Oh Jericho. I do trust you. But…I…" Kole sobbed into Jericho's chest. "What if we're not good parents? What if our child hates us? We're so young to do this!" Kole cried. Jericho stroked her hair and kissed her on top of her head.
He put his hand under her chin; Jericho's apple green eyes were soft.
"I'm going to take care of you. It may seem tough, but we'll get though this. Together. Everything will calm down once we're married."
"Do you really want to do this?" Jericho nodded; he dried the rest of Kole tears. Kole took a deep breath and sighed. "I love you Jericho." She whispered. Jericho leaned down and kissed her.
