Author's Notes: Sorry this is late, had a very busy weekend! Hope you guys like this one! Just wanted to throw this out there, but if any of y'all are descent artists I would love to see some of my stories come to life! If you post anything on or Tumblr please tag me and let me know, because I would really enjoying seeing some pictures! I'm a visual person so it helps with my writing as well.

BBRae Week Fall 2015 – Day 7

Baby's 1st Halloween

"Come on, Rae! Everyone is waiting for us!" Garfield called to the person on the other side of their bedroom door.

"I'm not coming!" Came Raven's reply.

"Oh come on Mama! You look great!" He tried to reassure her.

"I look ridiculous! I told you I didn't want to dress up this year!" She retorted.

"But Mama, you look awesome! Were so going to win best couples costume this year!" He exclaimed.

"I don't care! This whole thing is stupid! I'm staying in here until she decides to leave!" Hollered Raven. The "she" she was referring to was their 3rd child still growing inside Raven. Raven was already eight and a half months pregnant, and was due any day now.

"Rae, Sweetheart, don't talk like that! After all it was you who agreed to us hosting the Halloween party this year, remember?" He reasoned.

"No, I agreed that our students could host the party at our tower. We are not the hosts!" She argued back.

"Well every past, current, and future Titan is out there waiting for the best heroes ever to make their entrance! Do you really want to let them down?" Garfield's last statement seemed to have won his wife over, because after a moment of silence, the door to their room opened up to reveal a heavily pregnant Raven dressed up as a cow, with the otters sticking out over her extended belly.

"I swear, Garfield, if anyone laughs I'm throwing you and them out the window!" She threatened.

Garfield simply smiled, and extended his arm out for her to hold as they made their way down the hall and into the common room, where the main part of the party was being held. When they entered they were immediately greeted by their fellow Titans and long-term friends. Some snickered at the couple, but were quickly silenced by a four-eyed stare, compliments of a moody half-demon. The couple joined a group of their old friends, the Grayson's, the Stone's, and the West's.

"Wow Raven, some farmer you got there." Teased Jennifer. She and her husband, Wally West, were dressed up in a sexy version of Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.

"Says the couple coping our idea from three years ago. At Garfield and I keep it original." Raven shot back.

"Haha! She got ya there girl!" Karen remarked. She and her husband, Victor Stone, were dressed in couple's police costumes.

"Whatever. At least Wally and I make it work." Jen tried to recover, but her comeback was weak.

"Oh I'm sure you guys do." Raven fired back, earning a round of laughs from everyone, but the couple in question who were both blushing profoundly.

"Anyway, you look good Raven." Wally complimented, trying to change the subject.

"Thank you, Wally. So do you all." Raven returned the compliment. After all, the teasing was only for fun.

"So how much longer until your due Raven?" Richard Grayson asked. He and his wife Kori where dressed up as a ghost buster duo.

"Any day now, but I wish it would just happen already!" Raven answered, arms wrapping around her stomach instinctively.

"I think all of us mom's know exactly what you mean." Said Karen.

"Oh here we go again! More "Mommy Talk!" Groaned Victor.

"Oh shut it, Sparky! The adults are talking!" Karen scolded.

"Then I guess that's our que to leave kids." Joked Wally as he and the rest of the guys wondered toward the food table, leaving the ladies to their gossip.

"So Raven, how did Farmer Logan convince you to wear that?" Jen questioned, motioning with her hand towards Raven's cow costume.

"It's a long story. Let's just say it was this or a basketball, and this made the most sense." Raven explained, earning a chorus of laughs from the other women.

"So where are all of the younger Titans in the training?" Kori asked Raven.

"Probably on the roof. You know how the feel about having fun front of the adults." Raven replied.

"Oh yes, that is true." Kori agreed.

"Yeah, and it's probably for the best. If they're anything like we used to be, I don't want know." Remarked Jen.

"Oh we weren't that bad." Reasoned Karen.

"You weren't." Jen clarified.

"Well I – "Raven was cut off by a ball of trash and dirty laundry hitting her square in the middle of her back, causing her to fall forward. Thank goodness Kori was in front of her and was able to use her strength to catch Raven and lift her back up. The group of female Senior Titans looked around for the source of the projectile.

"KIDS!" Jen shouted causing all eyes to fall on her. The music ended and the large group of children ranging in ages from twelve to nine, looked down guiltily. The eldest child step forward and apologized.

"We're sorry Mom. We didn't mean for the ball to hit anyone. It was an accident." The child, a tall, slender, red-headed boy, explained.

"Yeah Mom, it was an accident! I accidently used my powers and it jinxed the ball to fly in the opposite direction." Explained a nine year old girl, with pink hair and eyes. You couldn't tell she was Flash's daughter until you saw her run.

"I don't care what happened! You two almost knocked your Aunt Raven over! Do you have any idea what that could have done to the baby!" Jen reprimanded.

"Mom, are you alright!" A very concerned ten-year-old boy came running over to his mother, who was being supported by Kori and Karen.

"Yes, I'm fine Mark, but you all should have been more careful. What have I told you and your sister about playing that disgusting game?" Questioned Raven.

"To play it outside or on the roof. But it's dark outside, and most of us can't see in the dark, and the roof is being occupied by the older kids." Mark complained.

"Well than you don't need to be playing." Raven announced, which followed by a series of moans.

"But Mom!" A little girl identical to Mark whined. "It's a party game tradition to play Stankball! Daddy said so!"

"Is that right?" Raven glared at the changeling in question.

"Oh! Thrown under the bus by your own little girl!" Wally teased Garfield as he tried to avoid his wife's accusing glare. Seeing as he was now the center of attention, Garfield decided to use this moment to get the party back in gear.

"Now, now, everyone, lets just all calm down. Clearly the kids are sorry for what they have done and they won't do it again. Right kids?" Garfield looked at them, pleading them to agree with him. A chorus of agreement followed, so Garfield continued. "Great! So since we know no one was really hurt, and the kids apologized, why don't we just continue with the party, huh?" Garfield scanned the room to see everyone excepting his conclusion, but before the music started back up an all too familiar scream was heard.

"Raven!" Garfield yelled as he sprinted over to his now bent over wife. "Rae! What's wrong?"

"Gar…it's time." Raven breathed out just in time for another contraction to course through her body. The twins let out a dog-like whine at the sound of their mother's screams.

"It's time!" Garfield shouted as he scooped her up bridal-style and ran into the elevator that led to the infirmary. Victor ran in after him, along with Jen and Kori. Karen was going to go with them, but decided it was best for her to stay back with the twins, who she had to stop from going after their parents.

"Why can't we go?" Whined the girl.

"Because, Maria, the birth room isn't a place for kids." Karen explained gently to the confused children.

"Why not?" Mark challenged.

Boy, this is going to be a long night. Karen Thought.

Garfield ran inside the infirmary and gently laid Raven on a near by bed. Victor instantly began setting up all the equipment and prepared Raven for the birth. Garfield held her hand, but kept his eyes shut while Victor administered the variety of shots. The medicine didn't seem to have any effect on her, though. She continued to scream as the contractions kept coming, sooner and sooner. Her face was covered in sweat. She tried to use breathing exercises she learned while pregnant with Mark and Maria, but the pain continued to drain her body. Suddenly, Raven felt a gush of water come out of her and she shrieked.

"Ahh!"

"Vic, what happened?" Garfield yelled.

"Her water broke! It's time Rae! I need you to start pushing!" Victor ordered. Immediately Raven began to push as hard as she could. Garfield could have sworn her screams were even louder. The lights began to blink on and off due to her powers, but they kept at it.

"Keep pushing Rae! You're doing great!" Victor encouraged her as he waited for the head.

"Come on, Mama! Keep breathing, deep breaths!" Garfield couched her, ignoring the pain coming from his squeezed hand.

"Ahh! I'm going to kill you, idiot!" Raven threaten through clenched teeth as she continued to push.

"That's the Raven I know and love! Keep going, Mama!" Garfield encouraged.

"Hey guys I see the head! I see the –"Victor abruptly stopped his cheering.

"Victor, what's wrong?" Garfield asked worriedly.

"Crap. This isn't good, guys." Victor exclaimed. He widened his eyes. "It looks like something isn't right with her. It's the umbilical cord… it's wrapped around her neck."

"What does that mean?!" Raven yelled through her pushing and pain.

"If we don't get the baby out now, she is going to die." Victor said solemnly.

"Well do a C-section," Jen suggested from behind him.

"It's too late. By the time I get everything ready the baby will be dead. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to rely on faith alone for this one." Victor was a man of science, but right now science was failing him. The girls behind him began to cry and even Raven and Garfield began to shed a few tears.

"Oh please, God! Help us!" Garfield pleaded. He took Raven's hand and placed a kiss on it. "Come on Rae, we can do this! You can do this!"

"But it's hopeless Garfield. How can a half-demon ask for a miracle?" She asked weakly.

"Because you're not just a half-demon. You're a mother, a friend, a wife. Rae, you're my hero and you're our kid's hero. Don't give up, Rae. Heroes never give up." Garfield whispered the last part into her ear and placed another kiss on her temple. "I love you, Rae."

"I…I know." She whispered back and with her no found confidence, she began to push again. Victor prepared himself as the baby's head slide out of her mother. The lights were now out of control and the whole room began to shake. Glass objects began to break at random and some pillows started to explode. Raven tuned it all out and focused on her most important mission of her life, saving her daughter's. As soon as the baby was out, everything went still. Victor wasted no time into cutting the umbilical cord. He brought the baby over to the cleaning table, where her aunts were already waiting. Garfield and Raven closed their eyes and held on to each other as they waited for the sweet sound of a baby's cry, indicating life. After what few agonizing moments, the sound they were waiting for erupted from the tiny baby girl. All of the lights in the room burst, sending a shower of glass to fall all over the place. Everyone covered themselves, except Victor who used his large size to cover the baby.

"Well she certainly is your baby, Raven." Victor remarked as he stepped away to let the two, more experienced females, clean the baby. Raven laid her head down on her pillow, and breathed a sigh of relief. Garfield smiled down at her, and began to gently brush her hair out of her face, allowing her to take a moment to rest. The crying baby was wrapped up in a soft, pink blanket and handed over to Garfield, who brought her over to her mother. Raven was very weak, so Garfield held the baby for her, but at just the right height that she could still see her perfectly. She had light grey skin, green tufts of hair, and dark, forest-green eyes. She was very small, but showed no signs of her recent ordeal. She continued to cry until Raven was able to find the strength to hold her. As soon as she was in her mother's arms, she quieted down. Her little chest rising up and down reassured them that she was still ok.

"Jen, could you go get Mark and Maria? Rae and I want to reveal her name to them first." Garfield requested and Jen did so. She returned with the two excited twins, as well as Karen and Wally.

"Aww, would you look at that! She's so precious!" Karen exclaimed.

"Yes, Friend Raven! You and Friend Garfield have produced another beautiful bumgorf!" Kori gushed.

"Yeah, wait to go Rae and Green bean!" Victor congratulated.

"Thanks guys! And thanks again Vic for your help. We definitely couldn't do this in a regular hospital." Garfield said, grateful for his best friend.

"That's for sure! Just look at this place! You weren't nearly this messy with the twins, Rae!" Wally exclaimed, earning him an elbow to the stomach by his wife.

"That's because I didn't do this." Raven said looking down at the precious bundle she held in her hand.

"Mom! Dad! Can I hold her? Please, please, please!" Maria begged. Garfield chuckled at his oldest daughter's excitement.

"Sure, Sweetie, if it's alright with your mother." Garfield said whiling looking over at his wife, who shook her head in agreement.

"Of course you can, but you need to sit down first and be calm and still, understand?" Raven instructed.

"Yes, Ma'am!" Maria answered, shaking her head rapidly. She sat down in a chair her father brought over for her and then waited patiently for him to hand her the baby. Very carefully, Garfield took the new born away from Raven and placed her in the waiting arms of her older sister. Garfield made sure the little girl held the baby just right before removing his hands and stepping back over beside his wife. In an instant, Mark was by his twin's side, looking quizzically at the little bundle in her arms.

"She's so tiny!" Exclaimed Mark.

"She's not even a day old, Stupid! Of course she's small!" Maria insulted.

"Hey kids, don't yell around the baby!" Garfield scolded.

"And Maria, don't call your brother stupid!" Raven added.

"Mom, what's her name?" Maria asked, avoiding her mothers' scolding. Raven looked at Garfield, who shook his head, encouraging her to answer. Everyone in the room waited in suspense, and Raven was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed, but she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Arella. Arella Rachel Logan." Answered Raven.

"Arella? What kind of name is that?" Wally questioned, earning him another elbow to the stomach by Jen.

"It's my mother's name. We agreed to name the twins after Gar's parents, so we wanted to name our next child after my mother. And I've just always liked the name Rachel." Explained Raven.

"Well I like it!" Exclaimed Victor.

"Alright Logan's, time for a family picture!" Karen announced, pulling out her communicator to take the picture.

"I don't think right now is a very good time for a picture, Karen." Raven said while noticing for the first time that everyone was still in costume. Including her, although the bottom half of her costume was torn off. She was covered by a thick blanket, but she still looked a mess and she still hated the stupid cow costume.

"But we need to capture the moment!" declared Karen.

"Come on Rae, it's only one picture. We took tons of pictures when the twins were born." Reasoned Garfield.

"Yes, but I also wasn't wearing this ridiculous costume!" Raven retorted.

"Which will make this picture all the more special!" teased Garfield. Raven rolled her eyes, but she didn't complain any further. Garfield gently scooped the baby girl out of her sister's arms and laid her into her mother's. Garfield then motioned for the twins to come over for the picture. Mark teleported himself on the other side of his mother's bed, while Maria run up to her dad and stood beside him.

"Alright everybody, say Happy Halloween!" Karen ordered.

"Happy Halloween!" Shouted the Logan family. With a click of a button, the picture was captured.

"And Happy Birthday to you, my little one." Raven whispered, gazing lovingly at her newest bundle of joy.
