Robin's POV
Where are they? I thought to myself. It's been almost ten minutes since they left. I wonder if Bee really is the pregnant girl in Titans Tower. If not, then Raven is, but that's highly unlikely-
Just then, Starfire, Terra, and Bee came back into the Common Room. Starfire and Terra were ghost pale and Bee's face was flushed. It was at that moment that I knew that Bee was pregnant. Why else would she blush like that?
I stood up from the couch and walked over to them. Since they had left Beastboy and Cyborg had stopped fighting over the engine piece. Cyborg was now busy re-fixing the engine for the T-car while Beastboy began to play a video game. He had asked me to battle him, but I declined, too busy wondering what Starfire and Terra were telling Bee in the hall. Raven still sat on the couch, reading. They were all still unaware of the current problem at hand, though, and I hoped that it would stay that way until some my questions were finally answered.
My eyes lingered from Starfire to Terra for a moment, trying to figure out just what had happened. They said nothing to me, instead looking at the wall behind me. I then looked at Bee, wondering if I should try to comfort her about her pregnancy, but she wasn't looking at me either. She was looking in the same direction as Starfire and Terra.
I turned around, wondering what the hell was so damn interesting about a wall. That was when I realized they weren't looking at the wall, but at one of the people sitting on the couch. They were staring at Raven as she continued to read her book, oblivious to the stares she was receiving.
But why would they be staring at-
I put two and two together, thinking things over again. I gaped at Raven myself.
No way!
"Raven?" Starfire asked suddenly.
Raven looked up from her book, looking none too happy that she had been interrupted while reading. "Yes, what is it?"
"Can we talk to you for a sec?" Bee asked.
Raven froze for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "Why?"
Cyborg and Beastboy looked up from what they were doing to listen to the conversation now.
Terra rubbed the back of her neck, Bee shifted in her spot awkwardly, and Starfire sighed. I just stood there, frozen, still petrified at the thought of Raven - Raven of all people - to be pregnant.
Who's the father?
"We just need to talk to you." I said finally. "In private."
Cyborg stood up from the table he was sitting at. "Is there something the rest of the team should know, Robin?"
I shook my head.
"Just give us a sec, Sparky." Bee said in a sweet tone.
Cyborg didn't move, but obeyed what his girlfriend said. I looked back at Raven. She was still sitting on the couch, not moving an inch.
"Raven, we need to talk to you." I said again. "Come on."
She glared at me, but snapped her book closed obediently. She stood up and dropped her book on the coffee table, walking towards the four of us. She still glared at me as we took her into the hallway. We didn't say anything until the doors to the Common Room slid closed so Beastboy and Cyborg couldn't hear anything. When it was quiet in the hall, I turned to Raven. She stared at the floor, waiting.
"Raven, we know what's going on." Bee said, stepping closer to her.
Raven moved away from her. She finally looked up at us, her eyes filled with worry and fear. "What's been going on?"
"Do not say that, Raven." Starfire said. "We know that you are pregnant and we would like to help you, if you would let us."
Raven's blue eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about?"
I groaned. This is going to be difficult. "Raven, I found a pregnancy test in one of the bathrooms earlier and it was positive. I asked Starfire if it was hers and she said no, and then she asked Bee and Terra and they said no. You're the only girl left in Titans Tower." I put my hands on her shoulders, hoping she would tell us the truth. "Raven, we can help you out-"
"That's just it." She interrupted. "I'm not pregnant."
I stared at her. "But-"
"Let me finish." She said again. She pushed my hands off her shoulders, sighing deeply and rubbing her temples. "I'm not pregnant because that test was wrong."
"How could it be wrong?" Terra asked suddenly.
"I went in to see a doctor after I took that test last night." Raven said calmly. "She said I wasn't pregnant, but the drugs I'm taking right now made the test positive by accident."
"You're taking drugs?" I said harshly. "Raven?"
She shook her head. "Not those kinds of drugs, Robin! They're prescribed to me by my doctor. I'm taking Anticonvulsants so I won't have convulsions." She argued. She crossed her arms, her expression telling me that she was very irritated by all this. "My doctor explained to me that Anticonvulsants can sometimes make pregnancy tests positive, but I'm definitely not pregnant."
"So why'd you take the test?" Bee asked, now crossing her arms.
Raven blushed, one of the few times I had actually seen her blush. "Uh . . .I had an affair with an old friend from Azarath, let's just put it at that?"
All was quiet for a moment between the five of us. I watched Raven carefully, wondering if she was really telling the truth. The only problem was, I believed her. Raven was smarter than to go and get herself pregnant, so it all made perfect sense.
In the end, no one was pregnant after all. What a damn relief!
"Okay, Raven." Starfire smiled at her. "We believe you."
"Great." Raven said. She smiled. "Who wants waffles?"
[AU: Raven's 'old friend from Azarath' has nothing to do with the new story I'm writing. And, yes, this story is going to be longer than the original 5 chapters, just because I feel this story needs to have more an explanation to it, you know? I'll pretend you said yes to the question. So, yeah, that's it. Signing off - ShadowManipulator7 '-.-']
