Sickness
-RavensPOV-
I woke up this morning and I could smell the eggs all the way in the kitchen. I shot straight up from bed and made way to the kitchen, as I was walking down the hall I got a bit dizzy. Most likely do the surprise awaking this early. I never woke this early, but everything smelled so good.
Finally I made my way to the kitchen, but as usual, all I grabbed to eat was a small portion of eggs and fruit then a cup of herbel tea. After I ate I contacted Garfield, to see how he and Nightstar were doing.
'Here kitty kitty kitty kitty, here kitty kitty kitty!'
'Really Raven? Here kit-ty kit-ty!? I may be a cat right now but...Uhm, I'm not a kitten!'
'Is the kitten mad?'
'Kitten will bite your head off Raven.'
'I'd love to see him try. So how is Nightstar?'
'Ugh, she's still all lovey dovey with Damian, and she's all droolly over the presents he's leaving her! Damn kids and their...'
'Hey! Let it go Garfield, it's sweet that he's giving her small gifts. They really care for eachother.'
'But it's not like they're alone! Nightstar has me, you, Cyborg, and about everyone else to talk too. Damian has his mom and whoever else is with him! They act like they are the only two in the world!'
'Because they're both children, they depend on each other and naturally have a bond living in this world.'
'But Ravveenn...'
'No buts. Now how have you been? I haven't seen you in weeks!'
'Two weeks Rae, that's all, we've been separated for a lot longer. Remember that time when you had to go build and help the people in Washington?'
I sighed.
'Yes that was horrible. But we're still in the same building, we can at least try harder to see each other.'
He laughed.
'I know, I know, just work your magic on star again. That way we can have story time and see each other!'
I made it successfully back into my room. I hovered in my usual spot, criss-cross, in meditating position.
'What have you been telling Nightstar?'
'Just old adventures the Titans had, before Star and Dick were together.'
'Which ones?'
'Me putting a virus on Cyborg, him trying to eat us, then another time when mad mod got everyone to dress in his fashion and everyone ended up naked.'
'Mhmm yes, that's enough now...'
I started to feel uneasy. There was a turning inside me and I became dizzier, I fell on the ground, holding my stomach in sickness.
"Ugghh..." I felt so sick, like I was going to hurl.
'Raven? Are you alright?'
'Yes beastboy, I'm fine. Just not feeling to well, I'm going to go. Love you.'
'Love you too, feel better.'
I stood up and made my way into the bathroom. When I was finished, I wiped my mouth and rinsed with water. Grabbing a handful of water I splashed it on my face and I looked at myself in the mirror. I rolled my eyes at my wet grey slightly pink face.
"You better not be getting sick Raven." I glared at myself in the mirror, then dried off my face and laid down in bed.
-BeastBoysPOV-
Raven ended the conversation. I really hoped she wasn't getting sick. There aren't any doctors around anymore. There's a selected group of them, of doctors who were the best of the best in the old world, but there's hardly any more medicine for common sickness's.
People who are sick in this world have to tough it out. Except Nights, when she was sick Starfire had all the doctors in the building and city come over and help her. But for the others, they have to be strong and somewhat isolated.
If Raven is sick then she'll have to go in total isolation, I wouldn't be able to sneak peeks at her when she's in a room near me, no more smelling her lavender scent as I walk down hallways, and no more kisses from the girl I love.
I slumped down on the desk I was sitting on, in Nighstars room. A small mew escaped my lips in worry. Nightstar titled her head, she pet me gently.
"Beastboy? Is everything all right?"
She stared at me with her innocent bright yet dark green eyes, she continued to pet me. I straightened up and did the best cat smirk I could.
"Yeah Nights, everything is fine..." I glanced away from her. "...Raven might be sick. So we can't see her for a little while longer."
"The doctors can fix Raven beastboy, you have no need to worry. I will tell mother to-"
I looked at Nightstar panicked. "No!" I stood up on all fours. "She can't know you know Raven! She can't know you know I speak! She can't know anything Nightstar!"
She looked at me afraid for a second, but she nodded and pet me again.
"Okay beastboy, I won't tell."
"Thank you Nightstar, and I'm sorry I yelled." I looked at her worried, I didn't mean to make her afraid. She responded with some giggles, I tilted my head in confusion, old habits.
"You didn't yell silly. You got worried and scared. It's okay."
I rolled onto my back, I let my paws play with the air and my head lay on the desk, looking at Nightstar.
"Why are you so smart all of a sudden?"
Her jaw dropped in disbelief and she took a step back from me, getting defensive.
"Hey! That's not nice!" She was pointing at me, I laughed and her door opened, I shut up immediately. Starfire came in and looked around.
"Hello Mother!" Nightstar stood in her spot and waved, smiling. Starfire glared at me. Nightstars hand fell to her side and she looked at her mother confused.
"Who were you talking to just now?" She asked in a curious demanding voice, taking slow steps towards her daughter.
"To Beastboy mother. I was asking him about my hair."
Starfire smiled deviously, her chin went up as she looked at me, as if she was going to have fun torturing me.
"Oh and what did he say?"
Nighstar looked at me. "Come on beastboy, tell mother what you told me."
I mewed, twice. Nightstar giggled, she looked back at Starfire smiling as if I just said the funniest joke in the world.
"Did yah' hear that mother!?" She continued to laugh and grabbed a handful of her hair. "My hair looks like black goo!" She laughed harder.
Starfire smiled with her and patted her head. "Yes daughter, your hair does remind me of the black swamps on Tamaran."
They laughed together, I wrapped my tail around my body and licked my paw. Typical cat stuff. Starfire left and Nightstar looked at me extremely worried.
"That was really close Beastboy!"
I nod. "Next time, let's try to be more careful. And hey, nice save." I lifted my law and she shook it, smiling.
"I've been learning!"
"From...?"
"Damian!"
"You're not gonna lie to me right? Ever?"
She shook her head. "No way! I can never lie to you!" She scratched my head, I purred.
"Good."
-RavensPOV-
I was in the bathroom again. Why am I sick? I'm the cleanest person I know, I shouldn't be sick.
I rolled my eyes again, wiped my mouth with a dry towel and leaned against the toilet. I sighed and prayed to Azerath I wasn't getting sick.
After a few moments I stood up, dizziness came upon me again and I leaned on the wall for support. I held my temples until it passed. I walked back into my room, put on tea, and began to meditate. Focusing on making myself get better.
"Azarath, metrion, zinthos...
Azarath, metrion, zinthos...
Azarath, metrion, zinthos...
Azarath, metrion, zinthos...
Azarath, metrion, zinthos...
Azarath, metri..."
That's when I felt it, that's when I knew. I fell onto the ground, looking at my door. Quickly I made my way to Nightstars room, not caring if anyone saw. I could smell the mashpotatoes and meat they were cooking for dinner and the fruits they were preparing for lunch.
I opened Nightstars door and looked at the surprised faces of Beastboy and Nightstar, I shut the door and walked towards them.
"Beastboy."
He ran toward me and grabbed me by my arms. His green eyes examined me.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"Nothing Beastboy it's just...ugh." I felt dizzy again, and yuck, I could smell Beastboys horrible body order past the good one. I sat down and he kneeled next to me, he was looking directly at me.
"Raven, are you okay?"
Without hesitation I say. "Garfield, I'm pregnant."
He stared at me shocked. Nightstar squealed.
"Congratulations!" She was above Garfield and I, hovering, smiling. She started to go on and on about having another friend. I didn't pay attention. My focus was on Garfield, he was still in shock. He whispered.
"You're pregnant?"
I nodded.
"How?"
"Well you know, when a man and a wo-"
He covered my mouth. "You're pregnant?"
I nodded again, a bit frustrated.
"You mean...I'm gonna be a dad?" His smile was small and grew bigger and bigger. If he could have smiled any bigger I swear he would look like a green joker.
"Yes you're gonna be a daddy but-"
"How did you find out? What will we name it? Is it a boy or a girl?"
He too started to ramble. I rubbed the temples of my forehead, he wasn't seeing the problem.
"Garfield mark Logan, you listen here." I glared at him, he shut up and stared at me, frighten. I felt my face soften as I touched his shoulder and part of his neck.
"I want to keep the baby.-"
"So do I! Why-"
"But Starfire. When she finds out...she'll know everything." I looked at him concerned, his worried eyes stared right back into mine. Tears filled my eyes, he embraced me in a tight warm hug. He rested his head on mine.
"It's okay. We'll find a way. We always do."
I began to cry. Nightstar stood by her bedside, not knowing what to do I'm guessing.
-NightstarsPOV-
I watched with confused sadness yet happiness. Should this not be a joyous time? What was wrong? What's so bad about mother finding out?
I watched as Beastboys arms wrapped around her tighter, she was leaning into him, crying. I tilted my head confused with all this. They continued to hug eachother, saying things I couldn't understand. I picked up some words, Escaping, happiness, death, torture. What were they talking about?
Beastboy kissed ravens forehead as they continued hugging. He rocked them back and fourth.
"It'll be okay Rae, everything will work out, you'll see."
She sniffled and smiled. "I told you not go call me Rae."
"And I told you not to call me Beastboy."
Raven looked at beastboy confused. "But I haven't called you..."
"Shhh, shhhh now..." He held her head to his chest, she laughed as he continued and was rubbing her head. His voice had a playful toon so I decided it was safe for me to come back in, I flew above them upside down.
"Can I babysit?"
"No." They both said at the same time giving me hard glares, I laughed.
