Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.
Chapter 12
The Titans had been home in Jump City for the past two days and Richard checked Kori and their son into the hospital almost as soon as they arrived back. To explain the bumps, scratches and bruises on mother, child, and himself, Richard claimed that the family had been taking a camping trip, leaving their three year old at her grandfather's house. The only truth in the statement was that their son was delivered unexpectedly.
Richard stayed with them day in and day out. On the third day of being home, Bruce arrived with Alfred and Mari.
Mari jumped for joy at the site of her parents and scrambled into Richard's lap, "Daddy!"
"Oof!" Richard grunted and then hugged the small child in his lap, "Hello, sweetie!"
Kori giggled weakly at the scene that was before her. Her body had completely recovered from birthing her son in hostile conditions, but she was still weak. Richard had made sure that the curtains were open at all times so his wife could regain her power from the sun.
"Where is my grandson?" Bruce inquired from the doorway.
"The nurses are taking care of him now." Richard explained, "They're trying to understand how he can be so healthy when he was born prematurely." The man chuckled, "To be honest, I'm not sure if I understand either."
"Considering who his parents are," Bruce grinned, "I'd say I understand completely."
"What's my brother's name?" Mari questioned, ignoring the conversation her father and grandfather were having.
Kori and Richard exchanged glances and Kori whispered, "Well, we aren't sure."
Mari looked startled at this response but was quick to state her opinion, "What about Bobby! No, no, Ricky! No, no, Phillip! Wait, I've got this!"
The adults chuckled at the determination in Mari's face as she attempted to pick out the suitable name for her brother. "Mari, why don't you wait until you meet your brother to pick out a name for him? I'm sure seeing him will help you pick one out better," Kori suggested sweetly from her bed.
"Okay mommy!"
A few minutes passed, involving excited conversations between the adults and silly remarks from Mari. Bruce was about ready to take the child home when the nurses came in with the baby boy. He was wrapped up in a soft blue blanket. He was sleeping soundly. Bruce couldn't help but gush at the tuft of red hair that was ontop of the boy's head.
"He's the healthiest thing I've ever seen!" The blonde nurse exclaimed as she placed the bundle in Kori's eager arms. "You're free to take him home, once you name him for us."
Mari's eyes widened at her baby brother and a name came to her almost immediately, "Andy."
Kori and Richard looked at each other. Kori beamed at her husband who smiled back. "I like that name."
"Andrew," Richard told the nurses. "Andrew Peter Grayson."
A/N: In case you didn't know, "Andrew" is a Biblical name that means "strong" and "Peter" is Greek for "stone." This is the last chapter. I'm sorry for it being so short, but there wasn't much else to tell. I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
God bless,
