Beast Boy sat at a bar watching a bar lounge singer belt out tunes at 2 o’ clock in the morning.

Right now she was singing “Please Mr. Jailer”.

An hour later he met her backstage.

“Garfield,” Kitten said happily hugging him.

Beast Boy smiled and hugged her back.

“Don’t call me that in public,” Beast Boy warned.

“We don’t talk in public,” Kitten reminded him then pouted.

“You know that…” Beast Boy started.

“That Raven doesn’t like me, yeah I’ve heard the tired old song before,” Kitten said getting annoyed.

“You know that you and I are only friends,” Beast Boy said, “but Raven…” he said, “she’s not so trusting,” he added.

“Well we did date,” Kitten said running a hand along his jaw.

Beast Boy chuckled.

“That was years ago,” Beast Boy added, “I’m with Raven now.”

“Did you tell her?” Kitten asked.

“Tried to,” Beast Boy said.

Kitten raised a questioning eyebrow.

Beast Boy whispered what he found out in her ear.

Kitten squealed with delight.

“I don’t care what she says,” Kitten said, “I want to an auntie,” she declared.

“When she finds out I’m still talking you I might not even live long enough to be a daddy,” Beast Boy said honestly.

Kitten pouted.

“But I’ll find a way,” Beast Boy added.

Damn, after all these years I still can’t say no to her, Beast Boy thought, but she did help me pick out Raven’s engagement ring, he remembered, I have to pay her back.

“Damn straight,” Kitten said nudging him.

Soon both burst out laughing.

“But why didn’t she know that she was pregnant?” Kitten asked.

Beast Boy shrugged.

Hmm, Kitten thought, I guess I’ll never know, she thought, but Raven’s usually a lot more prepared than that.

Starfire sat in her office on a warm afternoon.

Then her cell rang.

Starfire quickly answered it.

“Afternoon caller,” Starfire said enthusiastically, “I’m Starfire and if this is a wrong number you can just kindly hang up.”

“Star,” Raven said.

“Raven, my dear friend,” Starfire said happily, “I’m waiting on some papers so I can talk for a few minutes.”

“I’m pregnant,” Raven revealed.

Starfire went silent.

“Starfire?” Raven asked.

“Um, congratulations,” Starfire said slowly, “a baby,” she said softly.

“Is something wrong?” Raven asked.

“Oh nothings wrong,” Starfire said brightly, “I’m just, filled with the surprise.”

“Oh,” Raven said, “anyway, um, I just wanted to tell someone…”

“Does Beast Boy your boyfriend earth mate know,” Starfire asked.

“Oh, uh, …yeah,” Raven told her, “he found out last night.”

“Glorious,” Starfire said, “I can’t wait for the day of its delivery.”

“Yeah,” Raven said dryly, “anyway, I just wanted you to know.”

“Of course, thank you for the news of a conceived offspring,” Starfire told her.

“Ok, bye,” Raven said and hung up.

“Bye,” Starfire said and hung up.

“A baby,” Starfire said softly.

Raven’s having a baby, Starfire thought, while I can’t even conceive.
