Drunken Dilemma

A BB/Rae Fic


September 17th



Raven awoke the next morning, very early in the morning actually, groaning in agony.

"Ugh… What is this…" she muttered, and got up off the bed. Her back was killing her.

As she held her back with one hand, her other moved towards her stomach, but then that's when she stepped back and looked down in shock.

Her belly was getting even bigger. She knew how Starfire had told her today she would be 18 weeks in… but now she realized she needed to do her own research.

As she walked out into the hallway, and looked around, suddenly a large rip broke the silence.

She stared down in surprise. Her shirt had ripped. Apparently the black spandex of her leotard couldn't hold her growing stomach.

"Gah… Not this, not now…" she whispered, messing with her tattered uniform.

But suddenly from down the hall, someone jumped out.

Beast Boy.

"I heard you up… Are you ok?" he asked, as she just stared at him in surprise.

"You heard me?" she asked, confused.

"… Yeah… I couldn't sleep…" he muttered sheepishly, as they both stood in front of each other.

Beast Boy looked down at Raven's belly, had a nervous chuckle and said, "Wow… she's-… getting big…"

"Yeah… I need to get to the computer room… to research… I mean… for research," she began, and walked away.

But Beast Boy followed close behind.

"I can go alone, you know," she muttered.

But as a sudden silence came about, Raven stopped in her tracks after realizing. After finding it odd for him to suddenly give up and stop talking, she turned around, and asked, "Beast Boy?"

He was just standing there, staring for a while.

"Raven… that night you… told me… That was… one of your other sides talking to me, you know, before?" he asked a bit nervously.

"Yes," she said.

But after her answer, Beast Boy went from looking down to straight at her.

"Then…" he began, but had a disgruntled sigh for a moment, before beginning to approach her, "Raven…"

"I… I…" he stammered, now staring at her face-to-face.

"I'm sorry… if this hurts you…"

He grabbed her by the shoulders, and kissed her. Raven's eyes bugged out very wide, her shoulders tense and all.

-----------------------------

"Come on…" a voice whispered inside Raven's head. It was Affection, watching the entire thing unfold, "Relax…"

Nearby, suddenly, Logic spoke out.

"No, Blue… Don't use me… use Affection, she knows better," Logic spoke out, as Affection smirked.

Suddenly, Logic's almost endless stare up stopped, as suddenly Affection's head locked upward. It always happened whenever her emotional sides were being used.

"Embrace it…" Affection told her now, smiling.

"He loves you, and you love him. That's all that matters," Affection said, as the locked head position went away, showing that Raven was done listening.

Logic, with her yellow attire and glasses, smirked. "She's going to take your advice," she said.

"Thanks for helping me out there, Yellow," Affection said, referring to the way Logic passed on Raven's attention to her.

"No prob," Logic said with a smile, looking away.

-----------------------------

After all of that, Raven relaxed. Her up-tense shoulders flew down, her face relaxed and she shut her eyes. All the muscles in her chest stopped tensing as she gave in to the sensations.

Then the kissed ended almost as abruptly as it began. They both stared into each other's eyes. While Beast Boy's look alternated between both her eyes, trying to see the look in her eyes for some sort of clue to how she took it, Raven was just staring at him, a very subtle smirk.

"I… I'm sorry if you-… if that… hurt you…" Beast Boy muttered, backing away and giving her space.

He turned around and began to walk off, but suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned back again to see Raven right in front of him.

"You know… It didn't…" she said softly.

After a long while of staring into each other's eyes, Raven cleared her throat.

"I'll… be doing research," she said going from her more emotional tone she had before to her usual monotone.

"Ok." Beast Boy simply answered with a smirk, waving.

She waved for a brief moment too, and then walked off to where the computers were.

---------------------

"Hey man… What are we gonna do once they're both… Well… Parents?" Cyborg asked Robin, who was sitting at a desk searching around the criminal records, which he did often.

"I don't know," Robin muttered, clicking on something else.

"Yeah, but doesn't that mean we're gonna be 2 down?" Cyborg asked, his voice showing a lot of concern.

"They can fight with the team if they want, Cy, or they can sit around with their child… It's there choice, not ours," Robin explained, as Cyborg shrugged.

"How are we gonna win a fight 2 down? I mean, you saw what happened when Beast Boy was chasing that girl that looked like Terra." Cyborg mentioned, as Robin turned in his chair.

"At least we think it looked like Terra," Robin muttered.

"All I know is that Beast Boy came back and helped us win the fight, and didn't wanna talk about it, so my guess is, he hit a dead end," Cyborg went on to say, as Robin glanced back to the PC.

"Right…" Robin replied softly.

"Yeah… but if she does come back… I smell a love triangle." Cyborg continued, as Robin turned with a serious look.

"Listen, this whole Terra thing was a long time ago, alright? Nobody wants to remember it very much, and if it was Terra that Beast Boy saw back then… that means she didn't want anything to do with the team or she would have talked to us about it. Now, just drop it, alright?" Robin answered with a bit of agitation in his voice, and turned back to the computer.

"Ok, ok, I get it, man…" Cyborg replied, walking out of the room.

But before he left, he muttered under his breath, "I don't have a sense of smell anyway…"

----------------------

As the day went on with no big trouble or anything, Robin and Starfire watched a romantic comedy together, Cyborg worked on the T-Car some and then hung out playing video games with Beast Boy. Raven did research for hours and hours, drinking her herbal tea, and then going back in her room to rest, even though she fell asleep for the night.

But with the recent inactivity in villains and such… One had to think…

How long would it last?


Author's Notes:

Sorry for the long absence of updates.. This chapter has actually been ready for upload for about 6 months now, but my life got busy and my computer/internet started messing up, so either I couldn't type the story, or couldn't upload it when I got the time... so sorry, but I tried to make it up by making the next chapter over 5000 words! Now if only I could make it over 9000 words so I could make the over 9000 joke again... : D
