Chapter 31

The warm sunshine shined in through the window and made her sleeping face glow. She sighed and her eyes slowly fluttered open. She snuggled into her pillow for a moment and then turned over. Beast Boy lay on his stomach with his arm spread out across her. His face was partly in his pillow and he snored deeply. She smiled, leaned over, and kissed him on the cheek.

She gently slid his arm off of her and sat up. She stretched and let the warm sunshine kiss her bare skin. She was certainly glad their suite was high enough that she could be bare in front of the window and not worry about anyone seeing her. She stood up and grabbed her robe that lay on the back of one of the chairs. She wrapped around her body and then headed for the bathroom.

She felt very good for some reason and very content. She looked in the mirror and saw that her still red face looked quite relaxed. She found this a nice change and smiled. She turned the shower on and took her robe off, hanging it on a hook on the door. She stepped in and began to hum to herself as she bathed.

Beast Boy awoke and found himself alone in his bed. He looked around and then realized the shower was on. He relaxed back into the bed for a moment and rubbed his tired face with his hands. He closed his eyes and wondered if he could get in another few minutes of sleep. He was shocked to hear the sound of humming through the shower. The only time he ever heard Raven hum was when she was extremely content. He smiled and felt very good. He wasn't sure if Raven was pregnant or not, but it didn't matter if it worked. She was happy and that's all he wanted for her.

Soon she was finished and he watched as she exited with her robe back on. Having gone into the bathroom with him fast asleep, when she came out and saw him sitting up and staring right at her she was quite startled and gave a small yelp of surprise.

"Whoa, you okay?" he laughed as he saw her reaction.

"Yeah," she said, regaining her composure. "I thought you'd still be asleep."

"Just woke up," he said, stretching again. "How do you feel?"

"Fine," she said with a smile, going to her suitcase to grab some clothes. "Very good, as a matter of fact."

"Well, that's good," he said, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and then standing up. He moved past her and into the bathroom to relieve himself. Once he was done he went to check how bad his bed head was in the mirror and noticed something very odd. The mirror was cracked. He found this very strange and exited to find Raven in her bra and panties getting dressed.

"Uh, did you see the mirror?" he asked.

"Yeah, why?" she asked.

"Well it's cracked," he said.

"It's cracked?" she said, looking at him oddly.

"Yeah, it's broken," he said.

"Let me see," she said, going into the bathroom. She looked at it and was shocked. "When'd that happen?"

"You didn't notice that?" he asked.

"No, it was fine when I got in the shower," she said.

"Wow, that's weird," said Beast Boy, scratching his head.

"Oh well," said Raven, going back to dressing. "It's just a mirror." She held a shirt up and looked at it before placing it back down and reaching for another.

He looked at her and felt that sense of peace come over him again. He went over to her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck. She jumped at his sudden attack on her neck and almost simultaneously one of the bedside lamps broke. They both jumped when this happened and looked at the broken lamp.

"What the hell?" said Raven.

"Did that lamp just break for no reason?" asked Beast Boy.

"Looks like it," said Raven. "What in the world is going on?"

Beast Boy felt his heart race as old memories came back to him. There was only one reason random objects would combust, break, or melt when Raven was around. Could it really be? Had it happened? Well, only one way to find out. He grabbed Raven by the waist, said a silent prayer, and began to tickle her.

"Ah! What're you doing!" she yelled/laughed.

One of the pillows exploded and showered them in pillows. Raven screamed and this only allowed the windows to crack. She covered her mouth with her hand and backed right away from the whole area.

"What the hell's going on?" she said, quite freaked out and upset.

"Oh my God, it worked!" Beast Boy practically screamed in shock and delight.

"What worked?!" she yelled in anger and confusion causing the other lamp to break.

"Raven, calm down," he said, going to her.

"No! You tell me what's going on!" she said, backing all the way up to the wall.

"I will, just calm down," he said.

Their room door opened and in walked Crystal looking very confused. "What's going on?" she asked, having heard yelling, screaming, and objects breaking from her own little room.

"That's what I want to know!" said Raven.

"Everything's okay," said Beast Boy calmly. "Crystal, go back to your room."

"But I wanna know what's going on," she said.

"Go," he said, pointing back to her room in a very fatherly tone. She rolled her eyes and did as she was told. He turned back to Raven who looked very scared and very confused. "Hey, you okay?"

"Do I look okay?" she snapped at him.

He couldn't help but smile and wrapped his arms around her again. "I'm so happy," he said, tears invading his eyes. "This is the best day of my life!"

"I'm so confused," said Raven, growing even more scared.

"I know," he said releasing her. "I know, but I'll explain. I'll explain everything."

And so he sat her down and slowly explained it all. He didn't leave out a single detail and made sure she understood everything. He watched as many things clicked in her mind and she made the same realizations that they'd made and came to the same conclusions. By the end she understood it all and was in shock.

"So this means…" she said, trying to wrap her mind around it all.

"Yeah, you're cured!" he said with a smile.

"This means…" she started again.

"You have your powers back!" he said.

"No!" she said, shutting him up. "This means… I'm… pregnant?"

He smiled and said, "Yes, you are. Only a couple hours pregnant, but still pregnant."

She smiled and then did something that Beast Boy had only seen her do months before when she felt as if she was close to death. She began to cry. But this time she was not crying out of despair but out of shock and joy. He smiled and took her into his arms and this time she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly.

After that Raven chose to practice her meditating again, since it had been years since she'd done any, and Beast Boy decided to explain what was going on to Crystal who was still waiting in her room.

"So what's going on?" she asked very dramatically as she crossed her arms in an exasperated way.

"Well, first of all, nothing bad," he said with a smile as he went and sat down on her bed. "In fact, today is a very good day."

"Why?" asked Crystal. "All I heard was stuff breaking and mommy-Raven screaming."

"She was just excited, that's all," said Beast Boy. "You see, she's not sick anymore."

"She's not?" said Crystal, her little head tilting in a curious manner.

"Nope," he said with a smile. "We've finally cured her so she's all better. Not only that, she's even got her superpowers back. Do you remember I told you she had powers?"

"Yeah!" said Crystal. "And I saw her use them in those old videos of you guys when you were teenagers. Does that mean she's gonna go out and fight crime again?"

"Eventually," said Beast Boy. "But, actually, there's something else I need to tell you."

"What?" asked Crystal, growing curious once again.

"Well, mommy-Raven," he began, feeling very nervous about how Crystal was going to react to this news, "is going to have a baby."

Crystal looked at him as if he had lobsters coming out of his ears. "A baby?" she said. "When?"

"Well, not for quite a while, actually," said Beast Boy.

Crystal took this in and then said, "Aren't you supposed to be fat if you're gonna have a baby?"

Beast Boy had to laugh at that and said, "Well, in the end, yeah, but not in the beginning. The baby isn't coming for another nine months."

"Wow, that's a long time," said Crystal. "So what's this baby gonna be to me?"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well is it gonna be like my cousin or something?" she asked, confused.

"No!" laughed Beast Boy. "It'll be your brother or sister."

Crystal's eyes went wide and she jumped up on the bed in realization. "I'm gonna have a little brother or a sister?!" she said excitedly.

"That's right," he said, happy with her response.

"Yes!" she shouted and began jumping about. "I always wanted a brother or sister! I hope I get a sister! I need to tell Nicole! Can I call her?"

"Uh, sure, if you want," he said. "Let me get my communicator."

He left her room, while she was still jumping about, and went back into him and Ravens room. He came upon a sight he had not seen in six years. Raven was hovering in the air, meditating as if nothing had ever changed; as if the last six years had never happened. He couldn't wait for the others to see.

He grabbed his communicator and went into the bathroom before giving it to Crystal. He dialed Nightwing's connection and waited.

"Beast Boy?" he answered.

"Hey, NW," he said with a soft smile. "How's everything going?"

"Everything's fine here," said Nightwing. "How's everything there?"

"Oh, you know, perfect," said Beast Boy. "Absolutely perfect."

"Absolutely perfect?" said Nightwing. "What does that mean? Are you saying… it worked?"

"It worked!" said Beast Boy victoriously. "She's meditating as we speak."

"Are you serious?!" said Nightwing uncharacteristically happy. "So she's pregnant?"

"She must be," said Beast Boy. "She woke up this morning and her powers were back and she feels fine."

"So that means last night you, uh, you know?" he asked.

"Dude, did you really need to ask that?" Beast Boy laughed. "And, yes, we did, obviously. Now hand the communicator to Nicole. Crystal wants to tell her some great news."
