Chapter Eight: What People Wait For

3 Months Later…

Today was the big day. The day of Gar and Mother's marriage.

I woke up early at 4:30, just wide awake laying on my bed thinking to myself. These past 3 months have flown by. And things haven't been exactly normal. I did notice some things that were unusual.

2 months before Mother was acting weird. And when I mean weird, I mean WEIRD. It was so freaky. It started when I was sent to get cheese and pepperoni pizza…

Flashback

"Alright guys I'm back with the pizza!" I called out. I was carrying 2 boxes of pizza.

Gar ran here so fast, he would've made Kid Flash (now just Flash who's married to Jinx and father of Tone(she's 5)) jealous.

"Gimme dude! Hey Rae, Jay's back with the pizza!" he yelled and Mother emerged from the hallway.

"Oh. That's good." Mom said and we took a slice of pizza. I got full with 3 slices, Gar 4, and Mother ate nearly a whole box of pizza.

"Dang Rae! You must've been hungry!" Gar exclaimed, clearly impressed and shocked.

Mother gripped her stomach. "I don't feel good…" she muttered and ran to the bathroom. I heard her vomiting and Gar sprinted to the bathroom. I went after him. When I came, she was still vomiting and Gar was patting her back. He looked worried. I carefully examined Mom, but I didn't think she was sick. But why would she eat all that pizza?

"Easy Rae. Everything's fine." Gar soothed. Mother finally stopped throwing up in the toilet and stood up shakily. Gar flushed the toilet but some of the vomit was on the floor.

"Jay! Go get paper towels!" Gar ordered urgently.

As I ran, I heard Garfield say, "What happened, Rae?"

End of Flashback

After that, she started getting moodier and had bizarre mood swings. Most of the time she was back to normal but my mother spent some of that time meditating to keep her emotions under control. Suddenly, seeing my mom felt awkward. Like seeing a stranger in your house. I wanted to see what kind of mood Mom was in so I decided to talk with her. I found her in the living room watching a soap opera. That was her new addiction.

Flashback

"Hi Mom." I said and I sat next to her.

She studied me carefully and replied, "What do you want?"

Boy, I really wanted to smirk right now. "A pony, a flashlight, and a dancing hot dog." I lied easily.

"Kids these days. Always wanting something like a dancing hot dog!" Mom shouted angrily and threw a throw pillow at me in the face. "And Jenny can't even admit her love for the poor guy Tom and you want a dancing hot dog!" I laughed and ran into Gar in the hallway.

"Um, what's your hurry Jay?" Gar asked curiously. "And is your mom okay? I heard her yelling."

I said, "Yeah, she's ah…peachy. No worries Garfield."

"Right." he said and walked to the living room.

"Piece of advice: She's in her mad mood right now. AND watching a soap opera."

Gar stopped dead in his tracks. "Oh. Wouldn't want to get in the way of her and The Perils of the Pearls." Gar responded and dashed to his room, slamming the door.

"QUIET! JENNY AND TOM ARE TALKING!" Mom yelled and I snickered. Who knew that this would be fun? It was as if-no. It couldn't be. No. No way. I headed to my bedroom and locked the door.

I slid down to the floor with my back on the door. I tried to remember what Gar said when he gave me The Talk. I shivered in the memory. He spoke very little about this certain subject….

End of Flashback

Pregnant women. That was the subject. So imagine my discomfort and multiply it by waffles. That was seriously uncomfortable. Actually, Uncle Cy used to say multiply it by waffles(meaning a lot). Yeah, back to the subject. Anyways, my mother should've told Gar and I. But did Gar already know? I think he did but it was unconfirmed.

The other weird thing that happened was a training incident with Gar. I was just training with him outside. Like normal. So I had powered up to my dark energy warrior form with white eyes and Gar had transformed into a kangaroo. When we were sparring, I tripped over a rock and Gar accidentally gave me a punch under the chin. I flew into the air and he kicked me when I came back down. I hit a tree and I swear I heard someone in the woods. I heard someone say, "Oh great." and then I heard some rustling. I had ran to go see who the person was. But just when I thought I had caught up to the mystery man, Gar had transformed into a wolf and pulled me away with my cape in his jaws. Someone had been in there and I wanted to find them.

So that was basically it in my weird life. Yesterday, Gar had a bachelor party and a week before, Mother had a bridal shower. Soon enough she'd have a baby shower. I wasn't supposed to go to the bachelor party because they didn't serve any appropriate drinks for kids my age. Or kids at all. It must've been pretty wild because Gar slept like a rock. As soon as he got to bed, Gar just fell on it and immediately started to snore. I know this because I snuck in his room to ask him how it went. My mom said the bridal shower was alright and she invited Aunt Bee, Jinx, Argent, Kole, Chesire(she was sorta a good girl now), and Pantha. Mother didn't invite Starfire for obvious reasons. I think Gar invited Gnarrk, Uncle Cy, Jericho, Mas and Menos, Flash, Herald, Aqualad, Kilowatt, Hotspot, Thunder, Lightning, Speedy, the Doom Patrol (except Rita, duh), and not Father because…well, you know.

I stole a quick glance at the clock. 5:12. I sighed and decided to go back to sleep. I needed a lot of rest for today.

When I woke up again, it was 9:28. I cursed. I should've gotten up earlier! I put on some jeans, a green shirt with gray sleeves, and tennis shoes. Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door.

"Dude! Open up, Jay." I heard a voice say urgently.

I got up and opened the door. Gar was there wearing white plaid shorts and a black T-shirt. "What's up?" I asked groggily. I was still kinda sleepy.

"Have you noticed that your mom's-"

"I KNOW! It was pretty obvious, Gar. She's gonna have a baby in like, how many months?"

"It'll be 6 months or so. Demon pregnancies are kinda short."

"Good to know." I sighed, even though I didn't really care ."Are we gonna have breakfast yet?"

"Yup. We're gonna have dairy-free waffles!" Gar exclaimed and ran to the kitchen. I followed him. I saw that Mom wasn't here and Gar was quickly making waffles.

I asked him, "Where's Mom?"

"She went to a hotel with her girlfriends. They're gonna get ready for 3:00." he answered. I got out the forks, syrup, and soy milk(Gar insisted). Afterwards, I jumped on the couch to just channel surf so I could kill time.

After watching an episode of You Owe Me Five Bucks, Chuck, Gar yelled, "WAFFLE TIME!"

I put my hands over my ears. "I'm like, 10 feet in front of you!" I complained. "No need to yell!"

He grinned and showed his fangs. "I know. Come to the table."

I sat down at the table and received my waffles from Gar topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. I greedily picked up my fork and started to eat. Gar did the same.

We ate 6 waffles each. Gar groaned. "I'm so full."

"Ditto."

"You know what Rae would say to us right now?" he asked.

I smiled. "YOU IMMATURE PINHEADS! WHO EATS THAT MUCH?" we both yelled and started to laugh.

"You excited?" I asked him.

"Yeah of course! I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman on Earth. Why wouldn't I be?"

I shrugged. Gar asked, "Are you?"

"Sure. Although being in there for an hour doesn't sound fun."

He laughed. "The party is what's gonna be fun, kiddo. Not during the ceremony. Personally, I think it's a waste of words in the beginning." Gar confessed and we laughed even harder.

"So you'd be my step dad?" I asked him.

"Yessir." he answered. "I'll officially be your new dad when we're done with the adoption process. Would that be okay with you?"

"Yeah, since I barely know…him." I responded uncomfortably. "And you're pretty cool too…Dad." I added.

Gar chuckled. "That's about right. Dad." he tried. "I wonder how it'll sound when my second kid says it."

I grinned. I was his first. It made me feel good. And loved.

"Cy, you're not that good at tying ties." Gar grumbled.

Uncle Cyborg huffed. "Sheesh, man! I'm just tryin'!"

"Here, lemme do it." I sighed impatiently. "I did my own." I pointed to my neatly tied red tie.

"Where'd you learn to do that?" Uncle Cy asked me while I tied Gar's darker red tie.

" The night Gar took us out to go propose to Mom. Did you know there's so many videos on that? " I answered. "There. You're good to go, Dad."

"Thanks Jay." Gar answered and ruffled my hair.

Uncle Cy asked, "So he's Dad now?"

I rolled my eyes. "Well, he's getting married to my mom, isn't he?"

We got into our positions for the wedding. Rita walked Gar down, then Steve walked Mom down, then Uncle Cy(the best man) with Aunt Bee(the maid of honor), Speedy with Chesire, Hotspot with Argent, Jericho with Kole, and Flash with Jinx. Behind them, Patty was the flower girl and kept throwing petals at Flash instead of on the floor. Everyone thought it was cute and so did Flash. Jinx kept on smirking at Flash and he smiled in return.

I sat in the front bench with the other Titans. The priest yawned. He must've thought it'd be a long ceremony too.

"We are called here today to witness the union of this woman and…elf." the priest said.

"Hey! I'm just green, okay?" Gar protested and the crowd laughed.

The priest waved this aside and continued what he had to say. It was so boring. After the first fifteen minutes, I fell asleep until Aqualad had to shake me awake when Dominic walked with the rings on the pillow.

Gar and Mom took the rings and the priest said, "Do you, Raven Rachel Roth, accept Garfield Mark Logan to be your husband from this day forward, for better or for worse, for rich or for poor, and in sickness and in health; to live and cherish from this day forward until death has you part?"

"I do." Mom said and placed the ring on Gar's ring finger.

"Do you, Garfield Logan, take Raven Rachel Roth to be your wife from this day forward, for better or for worse, for rich or for poor, and in sickness and in health; to live and cherish from this day forward until death has you part?" the priest asked him.

"Sure do." he answered, winking at Mom. She rolled her eyes, but she was smiling.

"Now I proclaim you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." the priest said. "Now I can get out of here and go to Hawaii." He left.

Gar kissed Mom and the guests cheered. After their kiss, they walked outside to go into the limo.

"Congrats guys!"

"YES IT'S OVER!"

"It was about time!"

"To the hotel! LET'S PARTY!"

The guests congratulated my parents and quickly jumped in their cars. And then, some fan girls ran over here. Uh-oh.

"OMG! THEY"RE FINALLY TOGETHER!"

"Changeling! I love you!"

"CxRAE! CxRAE! CxRAE!"

A fan girl looked at me curiously. "Who are you?"

"I'm-"

"Jay! You're coming with us." Gar said and pulled me into the limo. The limo driver shut the door and started driving. The party was free, courtesy of the mayor of Jump City. The fan girls started to run after us but stopped after a mile and an angry Chihuahua. I never knew fan girls were THAT devoted!

"Finally. I thought they'd never stop yelling." Mom said in relief.

Gar grinned and gave Mother a peck on the lips. "It was worth it."

"Can you not make out in the car?" I groaned.

Mom poked my stomach like she did when I was a baby. "Get used to it." she smiled.

"That's gonna be a difficult adjustment." I muttered. But I was happy for them. My parents.

"You know, Gar? I may not know my father enough to say this, but you're the father I always wanted." I said. And I meant it. Every word.

Gar gave me a warm smile. "I want you to know I'll always be there for you, Jay. Even though you had a jerk for a father, you turned out well, dude." he replied and Gar hugged me. I hugged back. I knew he'd be there for me and Mom. Always.

"Boys, we're here." Mother said and we both looked out. A grand hotel stood. It was white and the glass door were in the shape of an arch. Two marble statues were by the entrance. It looked a bit like a church but you wouldn't mistake it for one. It had polished marble floors.. The hotel's property was in the shape of a U. Neatly trimmed green grass and bushes were on the top straight parts of the U. The rest of the U was the hotel. Expensive cars were parked in the inside of the U near the grass and bushes, courtesy of the valet. Elegant men and graceful women walked inside regally into the majestic building. I looked up and saw that the hotel rooms had small white balconies. People on the balconies must've had a bird's eye view and seen the green hills and waves crashing against rocky shores that we had passed on the way here. Some of our guests had already arrived and entered the hotel. No, it couldn't be called a hotel. It was a PALACE.

"C'mon Jay. Let's party!" Gar yelled in excitement and ran inside like a child.

Mom sighed in amusement. "I wonder why I married that man." she told me.

"I can't believe it either." I said and I chuckled. My mother gave me a small smile. We walked inside to the ballroom where many people were and there was a large white balcony. There was a scenic overlook which I guessed they had before.

Jinx approached Mom with Tone at her heels. She had red hair, pink eyes, and her father's skin tone.. Tone was wearing a light blue dress. "Hi." she said shyly.

"Hi Tone." Mother replied.

Jinx hugged Mom. "Congratulations! Wally was so surprised when you told us over the phone that Gar proposed to you. We were eating Chinese take-out and he choked on his noodles." Jinx said. Tone giggled in the memory. Then she disappeared. I blinked. I swear she was standing there.

"Where's Tone?" I asked Jinx.

She frowned and then looked down. "Tone, reappear now." Immediately, Tone had reappeared and laughed even harder. Jinx smiled at her daughter and picked her up. "That's her power. Disappearing. And I think she can go through solid objects too. We call her Tone because of that but her real name is Rosemary Ellen West." Jinx told me.

Then she turned her attention on Mom. "So, is it really true that you're…?" I left when she asked that, partly because that was uncomfortable with me and partly because I wanted to see the rest of this place.

I saw Gar laughing with Aqualad and Cyborg. They were all holding glasses of wine and seemed like they were enjoying the party. I saw Speedy and Chesire were kissing in one corner fondly watching an Asian toddler with brown eyes and black hair with a red streak in it. I guessed he was their son. Dominic and Patty ran to meet him with Tone. Pantha and Wildebeest were talking and watching a football game in the bar. Argent and Hotspot were hugging and smiled at each other. I think Argent was pregnant because she didn't look as skinny as always. Kole and Jericho were talking with Gnarrk. Thunder, Lightning, and Kilowatt were seated around a table arguing about who was stronger. Bushido was dancing with a redheaded girl with brown eyes. Rita was chatting with Aunt Bee while the rest of the Doom Patrol stood there feeling uncomfortable. Mas and Menos were debating with Flash about who was the fastest and coolest. I smirked at that. Flash couldn't understand what the Guatemalan twins were saying.

Weird. Everyone seemed to have something to do but me. I stole a quick glance at everyone and saw that there wasn't anyone to hang out. I would hang out with Gar, but he was busy with his friends. I decided to just watch the football game and drink some soda. I walked to one of the fancy coolers and took out a can of Boo-Yah! energy drink (endorsed by Uncle Cy). I drank the whole can and I felt…great. Yeah. I went and took another. And another. I cheered when the Jump City Jaguars won against the Gotham City Gators and gave them a toast while drinking a whole can in one gulp. I felt so alive. I drank 3 more cans and I felt really hyper. I remember a crash before the world turned black.

I woke up feeling dizzy and a sharp pain in my left arm that disappeared quickly. I was on a bed in a small, luxurious room. It wasn't my room. This room had white walls, a 38-inch TV, a dresser, a nightstand, a stylish lamp, and a black armchair. The floors had a milky white carpet that tickled my bare feet. I saw a bathroom near the door. I frowned. What was I doing here?

"Next time, try not to get caffeinated and accidentally knock the 51-inch plasma TV in the bar." a voice said dryly.

I whirled around and saw Mother standing there in black pajama pants and a blue tank top. There was a bump on her stomach revealing she was pregnant. "Mom? What…?" I mumbled, a little disoriented.

She smirked. "Your left arm is sprained. I healed it as best as I could but you still have to wear that cast for 2 weeks or so."

I looked at my left arm and noticed the blue cast. "Oh. Um…whoops?" I laughed weakly.

Mom rolled her eyes. "Thankfully the Mayor is paying for the damages and is making sure young children do not take Boo-Yah! energy drink."

"That was a good call." I said sheepishly.

"And hears some more delightful news for you. You've been out for 6 hours." Mom told me.

My eyes widened. "Seriously?"

"Yes, you did."

"So, where's Gar?"

"He's upstairs. Changing. So I thought I'd check on you." Mom answered.

A grin quickly formed on my face. "So in your hotel room, is there only one bed?" I asked.

Mother frowned. "Yes, why-"she stopped and gave me a glare when I started to laugh. "Grow up! We're married!"

"Yeah, I know. Have an enjoyable night, Mrs. Logan." I teased. She blushed and went through the ceiling.

Hey, it was her night. I bet lots of lonely people wait for this. Like my mom. :D

And that's a wrap! Review please and I will give you a virtual hug!
