A/N: My very first oneshot. Just a cute little story I came up when listening "In My Daughter's Eyes" and, as usual, thinking about BBxRae. God, I'm obsessed. Enjoy, my duckies!
A picture-perfect family. Raven and Beast Boy, smiling happily at the camera while sitting on the couch. A beautiful three year old girl, Joan, sat on Beast Boy's lap, smiling wider than both of her parents. Her pretty green hair and skin gave her the look of a female version of her father. Her hair was in pigtails, tied up with red bows. She wore a pink dress. In between the couple was six year old Brandon. He didn't look quite as happy as his sister to be photographed. His long, purple hair framed his sullen face. His long bangs nearly covered his red chakra, but the bottom of the gem peeked out from under the lavender locks of hair. He wore a purple turtleneck and jeans. Beast Boy wore the same, except a green turtleneck. He had one arm around his son and his wife and the other around the small girl in his lap. Raven wore a purple sweater and jeans, and her hand was placed on her pregnant belly.
"Mommy?"
Raven looked up from the family photo she was examining. It was the most recent one, taken just weeks prior. Raven was seven months pregnant with her third child, and it was rather obvious from her stomach.
"Yes, dear?" she asked, sweetly. The just turned three year old's eyes shifted to her mommy's belly.
"Why are you so
big?"
Raven chuckled at the innocence of the child. What a
cute kid.
"Mommy told you, sweetie, Mommy has a baby growing inside of her."
"Mommy?" Joan asked again, her green eyes looking at Raven curiously.
"Yes, Joan?"
"Did you swallow a baby seed?"
"A baby seed?" Raven raised her eyebrows curiously at the tiny girl.
"Well, daddy said
when you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon grows inside you,"
The girl pushed an emerald lock of hair behind her ear as she talked,
"So if a baby's growing inside of you, you must of swallowed a
baby seed!"
Raven laughed at this, picking Joan up and
hugging her. "Not quite, honey."
The girls eyes twinkled with curiosity at the response to her guess.
"Well, if it's not
the right answer, mommy, than how did you get a baby inside of
you?"
The mother's pale complexion became a little paler at
the seemingly innocent question.
"I'll tell you when you're older, dear." She cradled the now slightly confused little girl in her arms, "I'll tell you when you're much older."
A/N: Well? How'd you like my first oneshot? Short, but it got the story across. If you like the character of Joan, please tell me, and I'll write future stories with her and her siblings in them. Please review!
