Sorry updates have been so slow. First it was my birthday, then it was AP Bio summer homework that I procrastinated on, then it was the start of school...yeah it's been hectic. But, alas! Another chapter? Yes, number three is here. It's also not very long, but I just wrote this now and in like an hour, and I got done what I wanted done, so it's all good. Whew. Enjoy.

It was 2:32 at Titans Tower, and all through the house—

"WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

"Duuude, turn it off!"

"I am trying, Beast Boy, I really am."

"Awww, why does your room have to be right next to mine? I need my beauty sleep!"

Robin Junior had woken up the two Titans with his wailing; first Starfire, who was sharing her room with him, then Beast Boy, whose room was right down the hall. Beast Boy had sleepily wandered over to Starfire's room to see what the heck she was doing to the child, then stuck around to see if he could help her quiet him down. At the moment, both teens would have rather been comfortably sleeping, but as it is quite obvious, they were not going to get the sleep they wanted. Starfire was trying to hold the struggling infant, while Beast Boy was stuffing two pillows up against his pointy ears while sitting on Starfire's bed.

Starfire gave up, putting the baby back down in his box, which was still being used as a makeshift bed. "Oh, I believe there is no way we can subdue his inner torment!" She lamented.

"Star, he's not being, uh, tormented. He's just throwing a tantrum; babies do that from time to time."

At that moment, Starfire's door was forced open and three teens marched in.

"If that thing doesn't shut up soon, I swear to Azar I'm gonna—"

"Now, now, Rae," Cyborg waggled a large mechanical finger at her. "No threatening little Robbie."

Cyborg seemed to be the only one out of the five teens who didn't look completely deprived of sleep. It was probably due to the fact that all he had to do was charge his batteries for a few hours to become completely refreshed. Robin and Raven, however, looked as exhausted as Starfire and Beast Boy. Raven's cloak was on, but her hood was down, revealing tussled hair and droopy eyelids. Her half closed eyelids did nothing to hide her anger at being awoken at two forty in the morning. Robin's hair was also messy; it wasn't suspended in its usual short spikes. He still wore his mask, though it was a little lopsided across his eyes, and he had on a red shirt and green pajama pants; a nighttime version of his uniform.

"Friends, I am terribly sorry to wake you all, but I am afraid the baby had a sudden urge to scream and cry. I tried to stop the noise but—"

"Don't worry Star," Cyborg chuckled. He walked over to the crying baby. "All this kiddo needs is a little TLC." He bent down to pick up the child. "C'mere, Robbie Jr., Uncle Cy's gonna make it all okay." The baby screamed louder and attempted to wriggle out of Cyborg's grasp. "Uh, guys, Uncle Cy needs a little help."

Starfire walked up to Cyborg and took the child from his arms. She then began to pace back and forth across the room, trying her best to rock the child to sleep. The baby did not show any signs of calming down. Starfire walked up to Robin, who was lightly dozing off next to Raven, despite the noise.

"Robin," She said, waking him up from his daze. "Perhaps you would know how to deal with this situation?" She asked hopefully.

"Starfire, what would I know about taking care of a baby?"

As Starfire was standing and talking to Robin, Robin Jr. twisted in her grip and reached out to a nearby Raven. He wailed even herder when his tiny hands couldn't reach her. All the Titans took note of this, a stroke of hope rising in four of their chests, horror in one. All eyes turned to Raven.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Raven, he obviously wants you."

"No Robin, I'm not holding a screaming child."

"But Rae, when you hold him," Cyborg said, "What if the crying stops?"

The Titans were silent. Screams still echoed in the air.

"Give him to me." Raven hissed through clenched teeth. Starfire almost shoved the baby into her arms.

Almost immediately, the baby began to quiet down; he looked quite happy to be held in Raven's arms.

"There…there." Raven nonchalantly cooed.

"See? All Robin Jr. needed was his mommy." Beast Boy joked. If she hadn't been holding the baby, Raven would have punched Beast Boy through the window and into the lake.

"Not to be rude, but I would very much appreciate it if you all left now. I would like to get the "eye shut"."

The Titans were too tired to correct her or complain about getting kicked out. They congregated in the hallway outside Starfire's room.

"Night dudes, see you after I wake up in, like, twelve hours."

"Yeah, guys, I'm off to bed too." Robin stifled a yawn and headed for his room.

"Night guys." Cyborg gave a little wave in Robin's direction.

"Wait. You're not seriously leaving me alone like this, are you?" Raven was holding the now silent and content baby out at arms length. She looked down at him with a sneer.

"Don't worry Rae," Cyborg patted her head. "I'll hang out with you 'till the little sucker falls asleep."

"What about my sleep?" She glared up at her taller friend. "And he's quiet now; couldn't I just put him back in Starfire's room?"

Cyborg laughed. "You're the only one keeping quiet him right now. Trust me, we all owe you big." He placed his hand on her back and guided her down the hall, baby in tow. "Right now, lets just get little Robin something to drink."

By the time they arrived at the living/Ops room, the baby's eyes were beginning to droop, and Raven had changed her arm's length holding position to just holding the baby against her chest. She still looked quite uncomfortable.

"How bout you just sit on the couch with "Robbie-Poo" and I'll get some warm milk and some herbal tea. How does that sound?"

Raven was finding it hard to stay mad, with Cyborg's constant string of helpfulness she was beginning to lighten up somewhat. She couldn't deny that she was glad that he was with her. "That actually sounds nice. Thanks." And the baby wasn't being as annoying as she initially thought. He was sucking his thumb as she proceeded to get comfortable on the couch.

A few minutes later Cyborg was done preparing the drinks in the kitchen and took them over to the living room where Raven had been quietly sitting with Robin Jr.

"Okay Rae, here's your tea and Robbie's—"

He halted his sentence at what he saw next. Raven was dead asleep on the sofa; she fell asleep in a sitting position, and yet, she looked completely peaceful. Cyborg marveled at this; he had never seen Raven asleep before. But seeing Raven in a sleeping state wasn't what surprised him. Nestled in her arms was an equally sleeping baby; thumb still in mouth. She had her arms loosely wrapped somewhat protectively around him. Cyborg almost wanted to take a photo of the moment with his built-in camera, but decided against it. His robotic body parts would be scattered all throughout the tower if she would ever find out about something like that.

So, instead of taking a picture or waking her up, he smiled.

Yay! Raven gets some love! Haha, I couldn't resist. To see if she finally warms up to the kid you'll have to keep on readin, so stick around. Who knows, Robin could be next. :Evil laughter:

Sorry again for shortness, but I don't think chapters for TKINMS will be very long. It's not a very serious story, so it might not even last that long. I dunno. I have absolutely no idea where this story is gonna go from here, I'm sort of winging it, and when a new idea will come to me I'll write a new chapter, so bear with me. And to those of you who put this story on their Author Alert thingy, why not post a review? I don't want to be anal about it or anything, I just like getting them. Also feed back would be awesome. I want to know if there's anything I could improve on, so just help me out a little! Until next time...
