Chapter 6: Meeting Up
"So he was running at me when I kicked him! He fell right to the ground!" Victor said, laughing. They were all over at my house for dinner. Cyborg had become Victor Stone, Beast Boy now Garfield Logan, Raven now Rachel Roth, and Bumble Bee was now Karen Beecher. Everything was fine and the baby was due in less than a month. It had been now more than four months since I called them and they told me the Teen Titans were no more. Now every Friday we have dinner at each others house, this week was my week. Next week it would be Victor and Karen's house.
They moved in with each other and are going to get married two months after the baby is born. Speaking of baby it was starting to show. I was getting bigger and everybody new it. I was so excited, I just wished Xavier was there with me. We now know where Robin is. He is Richard Grayson, he lives with Carmen Anders. Yes he is with my sister and I'm not very pleased about it. Whatever, bitch and bastard go good together.
I heard they are getting married in one year, looks like it's a year of marriage. Rachel and Garfield are getting married too, 6 months after the baby is born. Everybody is getting married, but me. God I miss Xavier, I feel empty without him.
"Kori we'll do dishes," Garfield said, standing up. He and Victor started getting the dishes while Karen and Rachel moved to the couch in the living room.
"No I can do it," I said, standing up.
"No! Sit," they said, sitting me down on the couch.
"You need to rest," Garfield said and then walked away. Just then pain started to shot through my stomach! I screamed and rolled over holding my stomach. I heard a wine glass break and then people rushing over to me. Next thing I knew I was being rushed into a white hall with bright lights.
"Hurry!" I heard somebody shouting. I was placed onto a bed and a damp towel was placed on my head.
"Kori?" I heard a woman ask.
"What?" I asked back.
"I need you to push," she said. (I'm not going to give you detail so…) Around three hours later I was holding Alexis in my arms, my baby girl, light of my life, my healthy baby. Today was almost the perfect day of my life, all I was missing was Xavier and a wedding ring on my finger.
"What are you going to name her?" Rachel asked looking down upon my baby with beautiful dark red eyes.
"Alexis Xavier Anders," I said. "I would love to give her the last name Red, but we were never married," I said looking down at Alexis. She looked so much like Xavier. Same dark red eyes and I could see black hair with bits or red in it.
6 years later-Kori is now 26
"Hurry up Alex! Or you'll be late for school!" I yelled up the stairs as I heard Alexis close her door. (She sometimes calls her Alex cuz it takes to long to say Alexis.)
"Why do I have to get to school early today?" she asked, grabbing her black backpack and heading to the door.
"Would you rather take the bus?" I asked.
"Ewww! No!" Alexis said, slightly gagging.
"Then stop complaining. I have a meeting today," I said, getting into my black Explorer. It was a cold day and my Ferrari was in the shop getting fixed. I bought this car when it started to rain. About 15 minutes later I pulled up at Jump City Elementary. Alexis, Stacey, Audrey, and Tony got out of the car. I kissed Alexis on the forehead and drove off to work.
"You're late," Marie Phillips said as I walked in.
"Sorry, I had car pull today for the kids. I tried to get out of it, but all the other moms were busy," I said as I turned left and got into the elevator.
"Well next time don't be late. That is the reason I'm not married and don't have kids. I would be late to work all the time," Marie said pressing the button with a 37 on it.
"I can think of another reason why you're still single," I said in a hushed voice, but she heard.
"Why are you single?" Marie asked, shooting the question back at me.
"I'm single because I'm waiting to find the father of my child again. I've already told you this," I said, looking over at her.
"You've been waiting for Xavier for, what? Six years now? Give it up, you're not going to find him," she said, watching as the doors slowly opened.
"Well im sorry I still have hope for my love," I said and walked out the open doors. I worked at Wayne Enterprises for Bruce Wayne and… Richard Grayson. Yes I was working for him, but only because it pays well.
"Good to see Ms. Anders is finally here," Bruce said as I sat down next to Richard.
"Now that everybody is here we may begin," Bruce said sitting down at the end of the table.
"I have called you all here today because I'm going to be quitting soon," Bruce said and they all gasped with shock. I on the other hand knew what was going to happen sadly.
"I'm getting old and I need somebody to get ready to take my place. Richard come here please," Bruce said as Richard stood up and walked over to him.
"Richard will be taking my place when I leave," Bruce and everybody started clapping, but I instead was groaning with despair.
"Today Richard is going to be the boss, but I will be watching to make sure nothing goes wrong," Bruce declared.
"I'll be right back," Richard said and then walked away.
"Kori, you will be his assistant. So go wait by him if he needs help with anything," Bruce said and then I walked away.
"Hey Carmen," I heard Richard say. Great he was talking to his wife… Blackfire.
"Can you come down here? I want to see you, I miss you," he said. God! I think I'm going to puke! Once Richard hung up I walked over to him.
"Can I help you?" Richard asked looking at me.
"Yes, I'm Kori Anders, you new assistant," I said shaking his hand.
"Good,'" he said. I could feel his eyes on me, I felt disgusted!
"I was wondering if I could head home. My daughter is sick," I said smiling.
"Um sure, but can't you stay to meet my wife?" Richard asked just as somebody knocked on the door.
"I guess I could stay, but five minutes top," I said just before the door opened and Carmen (Blackfire) walked in wearing a skimpy black dress.
"Hey baby," Richard said before kissing her.
"Hey honey, who is she?" Carmen asked, looking me over.
"Oh yeah. This is Kori Anders, my new assistant," Richard said.
"Hi," I said smiling.
"Do I know you form somewhere," she asked looking at me.
"Umm…" I was about to answer when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked, relived that there was a way to stop myself from answering her question.
"I heard you need some help," Rachel said from the other line.
"Oh, I'll be right there. Just lie down and close your eyes," I said, pretending it was my daughter. Rachel caught on and said,
"Alright, I'll be waiting at your house," before she hung up.
"I'm sorry I have to go," I said and then walked out the door. I got home to find Rachel sitting on the sofa.
"How did you get in here?" I asked walking over to my room.
"I broke in. How do you think?" Rachel asked.
"Well I forgot!" I said walking back out in shorts and a tang top. I walked over to the kitchen and got some ice cream and two spoons.
"I'm now Richard's assistant," I said getting a spoon full of boysenberry ice cream. (I love that ice cream, and its low fat)
"Good for you," Rachel said, also getting some ice cream.
"That means I have to follow him everywhere like some love sick puppy," I said, cringing at the thought.
"Oh ya, that's not good," Rachel said, laughing lightly.
"I'm going out tonight, so I'm gonna need somebody to watch Alexis," I said looking at her.
"No," Rachel said.
"I'm going to find Xavier," I told her, hoping it would help change her mind.
"Fine, but only because I think I know where he is," Rachel said looking at me.
"Where?"
8 hours later: it's now 7:45
I was walking down the harbor in black pants and a dark purple t shirt. I was there looking for Xavier and waiting to for him to come out of hiding. I knew he would come out if he saw a girl walk by. It would only be a matter of minutes before he did show himself.
"Hey cutie," I heard him say from behind me. His hot breath brushed against my neck and brought back memories.
"What are you doing so far from home?" Xavier asked. I turned to face him and said,
"I'm looking for the father or my child, and I think I just found him… Xavier."
Well that's it! It was 6 ½ pages in my notebook, but it only took 2 days to write. Plz review! I hope you all are liked the chapter and the story so far!
