Chapter 11

Alex's fever broke the next day and by the end of the week he was up and about. His cough remained for a few more days, but it was just something left over. He was soon his cheerful self, quiet and content. Beast Boy felt relieved and Raven was just happy that it was finally over. The two had become a little closer due to the experience and found themselves enjoying each others company more.

Beast Boy was napping on the couch with Alex lying on his chest. They had been to the park that day and both were tired out. Raven had decided to let them go alone so she could learn to be away from Alex. She had been a little nervous, but told herself that everything was going to be okay. Of course it was and she felt quite proud of herself.

Raven entered the common room and saw the two asleep on the couch. She couldn't help smiling at how cute they were. A father and son tuckered out after a day of play. She meandered her way through the room and saw that someone had brought the mail in. She decided to look through it, incase her last paycheck from the library had arrived. She found bills and fan mail, the usual. But then she found an envelope addressed to her. She picked it up and recognized the handwriting. Jacob.

She locked the door of her room and sat down on her bed. At first she wasn't sure how he had gotten her address, and then she remembered that she had made sure that any mail that was going to her old apartment was to be brought to the tower. She fingered the paper of the envelope nervously, unsure of what he might have written her. She slowly ripped the envelope open and pulled the letter out.

Beast Boy slowly woke up and found Alex was still asleep on him. He slowly moved and sat up, holding Alex close so he wouldn't wake up. He brought him to his room and laid him down on his bed. He knew that Alex had some time before his nap would be done. He closed the door and stretched. Sleeping on the couch sometimes left him feeling a little stiff. As he stretched he smelled himself and decided to take a shower. He hadn't realized that he had been playing that hard, but his shirt and pits told a different story.

Fifteen minutes later he emerged from a steam filled bathroom. He always felt refreshed after a shower. He headed towards his room with his dirty clothes when he heard someone crying. He stopped in front of Ravens door and listened. He knew it was coming from inside of her room. He decided to throw his clothes in his room and then went back to Ravens door.

He knocked and said, "Raven, are you okay?" Her crying ceased immediately and it grew quiet. Beast Boy knew she was trying to act like she wasn't there. "Come on Raven, I know you're in there. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she called out to him in a shaky voice.

"Can I come in?" he asked, knowing she would probably say no.

"I said I'm fine," she said with her voice sounding more strained.

Beast Boy sighed and said, "I'm coming in." He opened her door and looked inside. She was sitting on her bed wiping her face frantically. He saw a ripped open envelope and a crinkled letter lying in front of her.

"What do you want?" she asked trying to hide the fact that her eyes were red and her whole face was puffy from crying.

"I heard you crying," he said walking in. "What's wrong."

"Nothing," she said looking away from him, but then she started crying again.

He went over to her and sat down in front of her and the letter. "Raven tell me."

Raven wiped her eyes and picked up the letter. "Jacob wrote me," she managed to say over her lung spasms. "He's getting married and he says that I was the worst thing that ever happened to him. He says he hopes I rot in hell with my bastard child." She completely broke down began crying hysterically. Everything in her room was either exploding or flying around the room. Beast Boy quickly moved over to her and wrapped his arms around her. She began to weep into his chest.

"Why do you care what he thinks?" he asked as he soothed her.

"I don't know," she sobbed. She lifted her head and wiped her red eyes with her hands. "It's just… I liked him. I even thought I loved him, and I know he loved me. I just can't believe he would write something like this." She picked the letter up and waved it in front of Beast Boy angrily. He grabbed it from her and ripped it up.

"Well he doesn't matter anymore," he said throwing the piece of the letter. "And he doesn't deserve you tears."

"I know," she said still crying.

"Then stop crying," he said wiping her tears away. She wrapped her arms around him and he held her close to him. She slowly stopped crying, but didn't want to move. She felt safe in his arms, something she rarely felt.

Beast Boy felt her breathing become more normal, with a few little spasms, and her tears cease. He slowly released her and looked at her. She was still a little shaky, but she seemed alright. "Okay?"

"Yeah, I think so," she said trying to get her breath back to normal. "Thanks."

"No problem," he said pulling her into another quick hug.

As they pulled away from the hug they stopped so that their faces were only inches away from each other. Suddenly both of their hearts began to race. Slowly they both moved in and placed their lips upon each others. Soon the kiss turned into kissing and the kissing turned into something more. Raven pulled him close to her and lay back on her bed. Beast Boy followed her down and never broke the kiss. Their hearts were still racing and their minds spinning.

Beast Boy pulled his lips off of hers and said, "Raven?"

"Yes?" she asked, just as out of breath as he was.

"I don't want to do anything you're not ready to do," he said softly holding her cheek.

"Beast Boy, if I had never wanted you to be with me, Alex wouldn't be here," she said pulling him back down to her lips. Beast Boy took that as an invitation to go as far as she would let him. Everything he kissed, everything he touched, felt like the first time. He made sure he went slow and made her feel like she was being made love to, not having sex.

For a long time they laid in each others arms, silently. They couldn't see how words could help their already perfect situation. A feeling of calm serenity was spread throughout their bodies, making them feel as one. The feel of the others body touching their own made them long to forever keep the feeling. For the first time in what seemed forever their minds were at peace, not racing with questions, fears, angers, confusion, and the like.

"Mumma! Daddy!"

Beast Boy and Raven gasped and realized that Alex was up from his nap. They both quickly sat up and crawled out of her bed. They looked for their clothes and got dressed as fast as they could. Once they were dressed they checked each other out to make sure they didn't look too… rushed. They took a few deep breaths and then left her room.

Alex had been standing right outside of Ravens door and they almost tripped over him. His hair still looked disheveled from his nap… and so did theirs.

"Oh, hi sweetheart," said Raven with a quick panicked smile.

"What ya doin?" he asked with a little quizzical look on his face.

"Nothing," they both said at the same time.

He continued to look at them funny, and then a smile crept onto his face. He could feel the happiness that was exuding off of his parents and that made him feel quite content. So he continued on his way without another question. Beast Boy and Raven let out a sigh of relief as Alex left.

"Jesus, that was close," said Beast Boy leaning against the wall.

"Well let's be thankful it was Alex and not Robin or Cyborg," said Raven fixing her shirt some more. They stood in the hall silent for a few seconds.

"Are you… okay with what we did?" asked Beast Boy.

"Like I said, if I wasn't you'd have known," she said with a smile. Beast Boy smiled back and gave her a quick sweet kiss.

ONE MONTH LATER

Raven and Beast Boy sat on the couch watching Alex, who hadn't been able to take the smile off of his face for a month. He sat on the floor playing with the mechanical monkey his father had given him. Beast Boy sat with his arm around Raven, holding her close to him. They both had subtle smiles on their faces and both looked extremely comfortable. Robin was in the kitchen with Starfire, trying his best to help her prepare an edible meal.

It had been an interesting month. Raven and Beast Boy slowly introduced their new relationship to the others. It wasn't as shocking as it could have been, since the two already had a child together, but there was some natural surprise. They hadn't seemed to get along for so long it was actually a relief to see them happy together.

"Hey guys," said Cyborg as he entering from the garage.

"Hi Cy," they all said at the same time, except for Starfire who said, "Hello Cyborg."

"I just finished installin the new stereo in the T-car," said Cyborg getting a drink. "I was thinkin that we could all go for a ride and break it in."

"Sounds like fun," said Beast Boy.

"We can go after we eat the dinner I am making," said Starfire with a smile. Just then three pots exploded and goop filled the kitchen. They all took cover and tried to avoid the falling goop. Robin turned the heat under the pots off and looked at Starfire, who had a guilty look on her face.

"Star, did you put in that zorka stuff that I told you not to?" he asked crossing his arms.

"I… I thought you would not notice," she said innocently with a nervous smile.

"Guess we can go out to dinner, too," said Cyborg.

After cleaning the whole kitchen, and throwing away the pots and pans that held Starfires meal, they all headed out to the garage. All but Raven.

"Aren't you coming?" asked Robin.

"Uh, no, I'm feeling kind of tired," she said handing Alex over to Beast Boy. "You guys go ahead."

"Okay," said Beast Boy giving her a kiss. "Do you want us to bring you something back?"

"If you want," she said and watched them leave. "Have a good time. Cyborg, don't you be showing off that stereo with my son in that car."

"Gotcha," said Cyborg and they all left.

Raven sighed and headed for her room. She reached into one of the draws and pulled out something that was still in a plastic grocery bag. She went to the bathroom and locked the door, just incase they happened to come back.

After about twenty minutes Raven unlocked the door and emerged. Mixtures of emotions were on her face. She leaned against the wall and thought. Finally a small smile crossed her and she placed her hand on her lower abdomen. "Well, at least this time I don't have to run."
