"Robin I need ice."
"Robin this tea is too warm."
"Robin open a window, now."
Raven and Beast Boy looked as their former nice friend was commanding her husband around the entire tower. All of the women experienced differences now, being pregnant, but Starfire was always in the extreme. When she threw up she could stay there for hours, not to mention her mood swings.
"Is this normal?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything about tameranian pregnancies."
"Raven Robin thinks I'm fat."
Suddenly the orange woman had thrown her around Raven and cried like there was no tomorrow. Robin, worn out by the demands of his pregnant wife, was just standing there.
"I'm sure he doesn't think you're fat Star."
"Yes he does. I'm hideous. Who wants to bake a cake?"
Starfire jumped up and ran over to the kitchen.
"Robin where have you hidden the tameranien globnot?"
"Check in the pantry dear."
"I can't find it, where is it?"
Robin sighed and walked over to her. Beast Boy sank more and more down in the couch.
"I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the old Starfire."
"I don't think you're the only one."
Raven looked over the back of the couch at Starfire who was now in heat and all over Robin. She looked away. The door opened and Cyborg and Bumblebee came in. Bumblebee sighed happily and collapsed on the couch next to Raven.
"How did it go?"
"Fine. The kid's healthy and growing okay."
"So, what are you getting?"
Cyborg and Bumblebee looked at one another before they looked at them.
"A boy."
"Congratulations."
Raven and Bumblebee hugged as Beast Boy jumped to his feet and clapped Cyborg on the back.
"Dude that's great."
"I don't really care what we get as long as it's alive and healthy when we get it."
They looked down at the twins who where playing on the floor. Cyborg bent down.
"Hey kids did you here that, you are getting a baby brother."
Victor just looked at him with his big eyes before he turned back to his toys. Vanessa got to her feet and wobbled over to him and laughed as her father picked her up.
"When's your term?"
"About a week after Starfire."
"Starfire calm down."
Everyone turned towards Starfire as she was hysterical. A cup had broken.
--
The entire tower was shaking as Cyborg was thrown against the wall. Raven stood in front of Starfire trying to protect them both. Bumblebee was standing by the door and ducked as a bullet passed by her. Beast Boy and Robin were all over the place trying to do the job of six. Raven could feel how she turned pale.
"No, not now."
Her body started to sway and the shield became weaker and weaker.
"Rae are you okay?"
"I'm sorry Star."
Then Raven fainted into Starfire's arms.
"Robin, Beast Boy, help."
"Raven."
Beast Boy, as a gorilla, hit the man attacking him before starting to run toward the women. Robin swore before he followed. Bumblebee screamed as Cyborg jumped the man attacking her, bringing him to the ground.
"Daddy."
Beast Boy froze. If it hadn't been for his sensitive ears he never would have heard the little girl. He looked over his shoulder at Logan with the twins behind her. A green shield was blocking the strikes a man was targeting at them, but it was only acting out of instinct and had no control. Beast Boy looked over at Starfire and Raven who were about to be attacked, swore before running towards Logan, Victor and Vanessa. He hit the man from behind, picked the children up and carried them up to the roof. He morphed back.
"I'm sorry."
Logan was shaking and Beast Boy hugged her tight.
"It's okay Logan. You did well."
Now the twins started to cry as well and Beast Boy used the next ten minutes trying to calm them all down.
"Victor. Vanessa."
The door opened and Bumblebee ran out on the roof and hugged the twins.
"The others?"
"They stopped the criminals. The police are down stairs collecting them."
Beast Boy was relived, but the picture of Raven passed out in Starfire's arms and him leaving her, it wouldn't leave his mind.
"You did the right thing Beast Boy, you know that right?"
"Still doesn't change the fact that I left her when she needed me."
He looked down at the girl holding his hand. Her purple and green hair was bobbing a long with her head and she was yawning. He figured her powers where still taking a lot out of her.
"If anything had happened to Logan because you focused on Raven, she would never have forgive you, you know that."
He picked the girl up in his arms. She placed her head on his shoulder.
"She's pregnant Bee, she's pregnant with my son. I didn't just abandon my wife I abandoned my son. Starfire and Robin's son."
"To save your daughter. To save my daughter and son, Robin was on his way to help Starfire and Raven Beast Boy."
"I know that, but how am I supposed to now look at him when he is born without knowing that I choose his sister over him."
Bumblebee grabbed his hand.
"You will look at him and know that you would give your life for that child, just like you would Logan."
"Beast Boy?"
The door opened again and this time Raven was standing there. When she saw her husband and daughter she threw herself around his neck and kissed him.
"Thank you."
Raven felt how distressed he was and smiled gently.
"You did the right thing."
"You sure?"
Raven hugged him as tight as she could with her no longer flat stomach.
"You saved their lives. You did the right thing."
Then she kissed him again.
"Robin is waiting for us. He's talking about asking one from east tower to come and help us during our situation."
"That sounds good."
Raven nodded to Bumblebee who took her children and left. Raven looked at Beast Boy again, knowing his guilt hadn't diminished or gone away.
"I left you Rae."
"I know."
"No you don't. I left our son."
"You saved out daughter."
Logan was fidgeting in her sleep and her skin had turned a tone greener.
"Why won't anyone yell at me for leaving you?"
"Because anyone in the same situation would have done the same."
"If anything had happened to you."
Raven placed her hand on his cheek.
"If anything had happened to Logan while you were saving me and the boy you would never have forgiven yourself. You knew Robin was going to help us and you did the only rational thing. You believed in Robin and Starfire to keep me and the baby safe and you went after the three people in that room who needed you the most."
Her hand lowered to his chest next to a much calmer and less greener Logan.
"You are one of those guys born to be a father and you have always but children in front of others. That is one of the reasons I love you so much. Why you are a kind of guy Logan will look up to. Our son will look up to."
Beast Boy smiled and kissed Raven's forehead.
"I knew there was a reason I loved you so much. Thank you."
Raven smiled and together they walked down to the common room. Cyborg and Starfire was cleaning. Robin was standing by the window.
"I'll put Logan to bed."
Raven nodded and walked over to the almost frozen figure.
"Robin?"
"How could I not notice how weak we are?"
"We're not weak. It's natural that we aren't able to do the things that we used to do, but you had idea someone would exploit it this much."
"I'm the leader Rae, it's my job to think ahead. What if something had happened?"
"Robin we're titans. We've risked our lives since we were kids."
He looked at her stomach before looking out again. Raven sighed and glanced backward at Starfire. She was on the brink of tears. She looked back at him.
"You talked about asking some from the east to come and help us?"
"Yes. In our situation I think that is best and since Flash and Jinx has joined them I'm sure they are capable of helping us out."
