We drove all over the city, searching up and down for Raven's unlikely fit of a blue minivan. After looking up and down everywhere within a 20 mile radius, all hope was lost. As we began to drive back home, little Mia began clapping and giggling loudly. I looked back, worried, but shrugged it off. As we drove further, she cried loudly. We two men looked at each other as Cyborg turned the car around and drove back to her giggling spot. Once again, she was happy. Cyborg stopped the car, now very excited and curious, and we climbed out (I grabbed Mia from the back). Slowly but steadily, we walked towards the front door. I knew I shouldn't and knew the baby's happiness at this spot probably didn't mean anything, but I couldn't seem to stop my feet from being attracted to this house. It pulled me in like a fishing line, each step bringing up my excited heart rate and making the baby coo even louder.

As I made it to the front door, I looked back at Cyborg, who nodded. Very slowly, I rose up my fist and knocked on the door. As it was opened, I saw what I had never expected to see in a million years.

It was Raven's home, like I had a gut feeling it would be, but in her arms was another baby. This one was green, with dark purple hair just a little longer than Mia's.

"What the…?" was all I could manage to say in my immense state of shock.

Raven's eyes bulged and she gasped at me. Her gasp turned to a sigh as she moved out of the way, letting me into her large home. Cyborg followed.

"Are you-err, babysitting?" I asked, putting Mia on the floor.

"I had triplets," she said, dazed.

"Triplets?" asked Cyborg, who Raven hadn't previously noticed (her eyes teared up when she saw him), "But isn't that thr-"

He was interrupted by a loud cry. Raven, her eyes growing wide again, ran out of the room and came back with another baby in her arms. This one's appearance made me want to cry. Unlike Mia and the other, who looked were far from normal, this one was. She had blonde hair and beautiful sky blue eyes. The baby was a female clone of me as a child. She instantly stopped crying as she saw me and reached out her arms. I held out my arms as well, silently asking to hold her, and Raven, surprised, let me.

The baby buried her head in my chest like Mia had done before and I smiled. I saw a single tear escape Raven's eye as she looked at me.
"Her name is Chloe. Chloe Arella."

Little Chloe closed one eye, almost as if she were winking at me. I winked back.

"And the other?" I asked, looking for her and finding her in Cyborg's arms along with Mia.

"Hannah Kori."

"You mean the middle names are…"

"The three most important women in our lives. Our mothers and Star."

My eyes twinkled like stars as I realized that I was right. Little Mia's middle name did come from my mother.

"So, you left Mia with me because…"

I was interrupted.

"Because I can't do this, Beast Boy! I can't take care of these three little girls all by myself!"

I nodded, understanding her completely. It had been hard enough to take care of Mia for one day, and I had Cyborg's help. I couldn't imagine taking care of three babies for 7 months all by myself!

Raven continued. "When the doctor told me I was having three, I completely freaked out. Money wasn't an issue at all, but I didn't know how I was going to find time in the day to take care of three babies. As they were born, my fears were proven true. They were a huge handful. If one wasn't crying another was. It was really… hard, Beast Boy. Really hard. I couldn't do it! I had to do something, and when I found you in the phonebook, I knew what. I decided to just drop one off, and I really was going to get her. I just needed your support. I'm sorry."

She frowned at me and I frowned back. This was going to be hard.

"The doctor says I was pregnant with triplets because of your animal blood… most animals have more than one baby at once, and so… I did too…"

I smiled as I bounced Chloe ever so slightly on my knee. I looked over to Cyborg, who was cradling Hannah. Raven held Mia, looking like she had missed her a lot overnight. I guessed that she had never been without the babies since the moment they were born.

"Did you get any help, Raven?" I asked, frowning.

"Who would I ask? I couldn't find you got the longest time, and I tried finding Starfire and Robin and you too, Cyborg, but it was an impossible mission!"

"Apparently it wasn't, since you found him," chirped Cyborg happily. Raven rolled her eyes.

"I had to talk to everyone in the world, or so it seemed at the time, trying to find you. I looked all over the place for you until the point when I was completely desperate. Finally, I found you. But I couldn't let you know there were three! No way would you do anything then! So, I just dropped her with you, as you know."

She ran her hand through her hair and looked at the ground. I frowned at her.

"Look, Raven… How about you go upstairs and take a shower? Maybe a nap? We can take care of them."

Raven's eyes lit up at this request.

"You mean it? No, no, I couldn't. You can just leave. I can take care of them. I don't need anymore help, it was just a breakdown, and…"

I laughed, which seemed to startle her.

"I love this father thing, Raven. It's fun! You go take your shower."

I put a hand on her back and helped her up. She seemed to walk almost in a trance to the staircase, my hand still on her back. I took the baby from her and she walked up the stairs to the bathroom, her mood switching from surprised to relieved.

"That was nice of you, BB," Cyborg said, watching me trying to balance two babies on my hips, "Really nice."

I returned his smile as I gave it up and placed Mia and Chloe on a blanket covered in toys on the ground. Cyborg handed me Hannah, who I gave a quick hug and placed on the ground next to her sisters.

I sat next to Cyborg on the couch, sighing and putting my feet up on the coffee table.

"Well, this is easy!" I exclaimed with a smile as I looked down at the three girls in front of me.

"Why doesn't this even faze you?" Cyborg suddenly exclaimed. I raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" I enquired of him, keeping my eyebrow raised. He raised his own and rolled his eyes.

"How the hell do you do it? You have triplets! By RAVEN! Why are you so calm? Why aren't you scared or confused that you went from being single to having 3 kids with Raven overnight?"

"I told you before, Cyborg," I said in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's natural. I don't know why it's natural, but it is. Why would I be fazed? I did sleep with her, after all. It isn't like I'm upset. I'm ecstatic! How many men wouldn't like to have three beautiful little girls with a gorgeous woman?"

"I don't know, Beast Boy, I think I would be completely shellshocked if anything like this happened to me. I still have no idea how you do it. It's close to amazing, buddy."

I shrugged, looking back down at my daughters… only to realize they weren't there.

"Oh no," I sighed, getting up, "Dontcha just hate kids, Cy?"

I walked out of the room to begin looking for them. The first one I found was Hannah, who seemed exhausted from crawling for so long. I picked her up and carried her around while looking for the other two. Next I found Chloe. She had crawled a little farther but not incredibly far. I looked all around the house for little Mia, but I couldn't find her. I searched every room downstairs and was scared to death until I saw the staircase. Worried that Raven would find her before I did, I quickly gave the babies to Cyborg and ran up the stairs.

A loud call of "BEAST BOY!" startled me almost enough to cause me to tumble down the staircase. Raven came to the top of the staircase carrying a seemingly giggling Mia.

"What the hell, Beast Boy? I've left you alone with them for 10 minutes! 10 MINUTES and you go and lose the fu-" she looked down at the baby- "Frickin' kid! Come on, now! You can't really be that stupid!"

I put my hand on my head, stifling a laugh. Being a father was harder than I thought.
