Thanks for the reviews!!! I had made me really happy. The last chapter was a flashback of Raven making love with the.. Mysterious guy. Though I don’t really get why it’s so bad (and I don’t really care... or want to know) she wasn’t pregnant while having sex. Or was she?! Buah ha ha ha. ...
Chapter Four
His Discovery
Several times they had made love. Raven could not forget. Twice in her room, most in his. The last few and most passionate of times in his. She closed her eyes and held her forehead, taking sips of tea and glancing at the clock every now and then. It wouldn’t be long before she’d be allowed maternity leave with all three of her jobs. She had saved plenty of money- for the time... but she knew how much babies would cost and sometimes she lost her nerves and things would break. Questions every mother thought before bringing her baby in the world.
Will we be ok? Financially?
What if he grows up to hate me?
And the worst- What if I’m a bad Mother?
Raven tried her best to push the thoughts aside and it was easy when she was working. She was kept so busy there wasn’t a chance to think of anything- let alone worry about being a Mother. She was only sixteen though... and society was against her and her child. Three jobs, pregnant... and only sixteen. However, it was no one’s business but her own and she kept her head held high. Other people didn’t worry her... she worried herself.
Raven untied the apron from her large belly and hung it up in the kitchen. She clocked herself out and left the restaurant without saying a word, keeping her complaints of aching feet and nausea to herself. She pulled on a black jacket and tied it, covering the swollen belly, and it was harder to tell she was pregnant. She walked to her apartment... even if she wanted to fly (which she really didn’t) she felt she wouldn’t even be able to get off the ground.
She unlocked the door to her apartment and walked inside, closing and locking the door behind her. She was taking no chances. She didn’t live in the best of neighborhoods, but she knew how to defend herself so it really wasn’t a problem. She took that back- it WAS a problem. She could defend herself, but to what extent with a child growing inside her? She locked the door twice, making sure the padlock was held tight.
Raven collapsed on the couch, bringing her feet up to rest on the coffee table. She let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes, then opened them only to turn on the television. As she suspected, nothing was on, but she kept the TV on to drown out other outside noises (such as cars). She pressed herself into the cushions of the couch and again let out a breath of air before closing her eyes, hoping to catch a little nap before she was due at the drugstore. Before she felt herself drift into sleep she heard a knocking, and grumbled. She stood and made her way to the front door and looked out the peephole. Eyes wide, she quickly looked away and stared at the wood of the door.
“I know you’re there! Open the door!” A male voice protruded. She slowly unlocked the locks and turned the knob, slowing pulling the door open. “Raven...”
“...Beast Boy.” She whispered. His eyes traveled from her face to her stomach and back to her face quickly.
“What? When? How... who?!” He shouted. She let him in the door.
“I’d better call in...” She told herself. She made her way to the phone and called her boss, explaining she had been sick all day and wouldn’t be able to make it.
“I understand.” He responded and she wanted to tell him he didn’t, but fought back the urge and said a thank you before hanging up.
“Well...” She turned back to Beast Boy. He was standing in the doorway still, eyes wide, puzzled and she sighed. “Come in.” Beast Boy slowly made his way into the living room and eyed everything around him.
“So... is this why you left?” He asked her.
“...Yes.” She answered truthfully, and kept her eyes directed at him.
“You could have told us.” Beast Boy made a step toward her and a glass on the kitchen table cracked, wrapped in a black aura. “Have you lost control?”
“No.” She said quickly. “Yes... maybe. I don’t know!” Raven felt everything begin to crumble and sat down. “I think it’s just the hormones.” Beast Boy stared at her blankly. What did he know about having a baby?
“Who’s the Father?” Beast Boy asked.
“Let’s just say his name is going to be Draven NightHawk.” Raven dropped her eyes to floor and Beast Boy looked at her for a moment.
“NightHawk?” He looked up at the ceiling, finger to his chin. “NightWing... Robin?!” His jaw dropped and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. “Does he know?”
“No! How could he?! And I don’t want him to find out!” She yelled, making the apartment rumble. Beast Boy backed down. “Please, Beast Boy... I don’t want him to know.”
“Don’t you think he has that right?”
“...” She remained silent for a moment. “I want to tell him on my own terms.”
“And when will that be?” Beast Boy asked.
“When I’m ready.” She looked at him, sort of pleading. “Please, Beast Boy... don’t tell him.” How could he reject her in this state? She looked more fragile.. .more scared than she ever had.
“Fine. I won’t.” He gave her a serious look, then blinked. “... I never figured...”
“Neither did I...” Raven admitted. “Robin...”
“I just always thought Starfire...” Beast Boy sat down beside Raven. “I mean... you’re perfectly fine yourself!” She smiled. “You know... they started dating a while ago.” Raven was taken aback. She knew it would happen sooner or later, whether she stayed or not. Well... if she had stayed Robin might have stayed with her... wouldn’t he? She shook her head and Beast Boy gave her a worried look. “They’re not serious though! They rarely go out! I mean... Starfire is the only enthusiastic one! No wonder Robin’s been so down in the dumps...”
“What?”
“Robin doesn’t even sleep in his own room... I guess I can imagine why now...” Beast Boy looked at her stomach. “He rarely got sleep anyway... when he did we found him on the couch.”
“Oh.” Raven didn’t expect this.
“But it’s been so long I guess... maybe he’s feeling better.” Beast Boy frowned. “Yeah... I guess he’s got a right to. After all, you left him!” Raven frowned as well. Not an angry frown, but a sad frown. She looked at the floor and Beast Boy immediately regretted losing his temper. “Sorry. You had your reasons, I guess.”
“It’s ok.” She whispered. “It’s my fault. I accept responsibility.”
“You really can’t do this on your own.”
“I’ve been fine so far.”
“...Well, now you have me.” Beast Boy grinned. “I’ll start coming over to keep you company... and I’ll help out financially. The city’s been donating to us lately for saving the world, you know. Then there’s Batman who gives a fair share to Robin.”
“Beast Boy... you don’t need to.” She felt her pride kick in. “I work already. I’ve got three jobs.”
“THREE JOBS?!” He stood up, jaw dropped, thinking how he could barely handle one when he worked at the Meaty Meat place. “Now there’s no way I’ll leave you alone. You’re pregnant! I may not know a lot about it... but I know you shouldn’t be working like that!”
“...”
“Yeah, you can’t argue the man.” He grinned and she smiled up at him. She stood and threw her arms around him, pulling him into a hug and he nearly dropped his jaw for the third time that night.
“I’m sorry.” She whispered. “I’m sorry.” She paused before letting go. “...Thank you.”
