AN: Just cause it seems too weird to say Garfield except when someone’s talking to him, I’m gunna keep calling beast boy, BB when it’s just narration. Or Beast boy... just seems to wrong the other way.
Chapter 2
Beast boy closed his eyes. The movie was really boring and his thoughts seemed to travel more and more to Raven. ‘Is she going to come back? Does she even want to? What if she found someone else.’ He sat in worry for the most of the movie and when they went out for pizza afterwards, he didn’t join in the discussion of the movie seeing as he wasn't paying attention.
~*~*~
Raven stepped through the portal into her old room. It was as clean as it had been when she left and she had a sneaking suspicion that someone had been cleaning it. She dropped onto her bed with happiness and breathed in deeply, inhaling the scent she knew was BB’s.
Midnight smiled and climbed onto the bed next to her. Raven rolled onto her side and took one look at her daughter before bursting out in laughter and picking her up. She tossed her up and down and Midnight squealed with delight.
Raven brought her daughter close to her once more and hugged her. “Lets go see where the others are.” she said, hopping off the bed and running into the hall. Midnight laughed and followed her.
Raven didn’t care that they were being so loud. She wanted everyone and anyone to hear her. As they neared the lounge, butterflies grew in her stomach and when they finally opened and she looked in...
No one was there.
The T.V. was off and everything was clean. Raven pouted slightly. ‘Oh well, there might be a disturbance somewhere.’ she thought.
Midnight peered around. “He’s not here.” she muttered sadly.
“Not yet.” Raven walked over to the stove and looked in the cupboards where she used to store her tea and with great happiness, found that there was some in there.
She grinned and made enough for her and Midnight and sat at the table waiting. Midnight smiled, copying her mother and sitting next to her sipping at the tea.
Raven got restless and started to wander around the room. Not much had changed except for a large calender had been placed on the wall and days had been ticked off to Beast boy’s birthday that had been the week before. She noticed that on the days date, it said: Movie Starts at 7, get there early.
‘So that’s where they are.’ She thought, glancing at the clock that glowed 9:30pm. “Pizza.” she muttered, grining.
Midnight tugged on her mothers dress. In the hurry to get back, she hadn’t bothered to change. “Can I go back into your room? I like it.”
Raven nodded. “It might be a bit before they come back.” she took her daughters hand and they went back into her room. Raven leafed through the many books that had gather dust in her absence. Midnight was jumping around in her Bean bag corner and plopped down on one in exhaustion. She yawned slightly and curled up, falling asleep soon after.
Raven smiled and set a small blanket over her and caressed her cheek softly. If there was someone she loved more that BB, it was Midnight.
Raven laid on her bed and sighed, staring at the ceiling and wishing that they would hurry up and get home soon.

Beast boy sighed as they walked into the tower lounge. He dropped down onto the couch and Terra sat next to him.
“That was a great movie wasn’t it Garfield?”
He closed his eyes, not wanting to listen to her rambling’s about the stupid movie.
“Hey B, did you leave out your tea junk?” Cyborg asked.
“No.” BB turned around and frowned when he saw two cups sitting on the table and the pot on the stove.
Robin looked confused as well. “I cleaned up before we left and that was definitely not out when we left.”
Beast Boy’s heart leapt. ‘Could it be?’ He thought.
As if on cue, the door to the lounge opened and in came his queen, his friend, his love. She looked beautiful. Her body was perfectly proportionate and her dark purple eyes were filled with amusement. The dress she wore had slits that ran all the way up to her thighs, and showed off all of the curves of her body.
“Hey guys, ya miss me?” she asked, walking into the room fully and over to where she had left her tea.
“R...Raven?” BB stuttered.
“The one and only.” she replied, smiling at him.
Terra growled slightly, not wanting the girl to have returned. ‘I was just cracking him too! She thought angrily.
Starfire, who had been talking with Robin before she had came in, rushed over to her friend and wrapped her arms around her in a bone-crushing hug. “Your back! I missed you!”
Raven hugged her back just as hard. “Hey Star, I missed you too. I missed all of you guys.”
Cyborg, Robin and Jinx came and greeted her. “Long time no see. We were wondering if you were coming back.”
Raven rolled her eyes. “I was starting to wonder too. I had to wait until my sister was old enough to rule Azarath.” She grumbled. “I would have been here sooner if she had been a few years older and more trained.”
Terra walked over to her calmly. “Glad to see your back.” she said in a strained voice, clearly stating that she wasn’t.
“It’s good to see you too Terra.” Raven forced out through the fake smile she held on her face.
Her eyes traveled to Beast boy who, in her mind, had to be an angle in disguise. ‘I didn’t think he would be this different. He is sooo much hotter.’ “Well, are you just going to sit there or am I going to have to come over to you?” she asked.
BB slowly got up and walked over to the girl. ‘He’s gotten so much taller!’ Raven thought as he stood in front of her. She smiled. “I promised I would come back didn’t I?” She said softly, reaching up and caressing his cheek.
It was as if her touch triggered something in his body and suddenly she was swept up in his arms, his lips pressing tightly against her own.
Raven melted in his arms and kissed him back as fiercely as he was kissing her. Only the lack of air pulled them apart. Raven’s eyes were shining with tears of happiness as she laid her head against his chest, inhaling his scent and reveling in his embrace.
The door to the lounge opened and all heads turned to the door as a small girl walked through, looking startled at all the people there. She backed away, slightly afraid.
Raven smiled and pried herself from Beast boy’s arms. She went over and picked up Midnight then turned back to the others who were looking at the child with interest.
“Everyone, this is my daughter.” Raven said, her smile as large as ever.
Everyone gapped at her and Midnight squirmed out of her mothers arms. She walked a few steps closer to the group and bowed slightly.
“My name is Midnight, it is a pleasure to meet you all.”
It was silent for a moment until Jinx and Star flew at the girl and picked her up.
“Oh she is so cute!” Starfire said, slightly pinching the young girls cheeks.
“Isn’t she?!” Jinx added, taking her from Starfire and showing Cyborg. “Isn’t she the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen?!”
Cyborg backed up a step. “Uh, Jinx... why are you looking at me like that?”
Jinx’s eyes were sparkling with mischief. “I want a little girl as cute as this!”
Cyborg sweat dropped and backed up once more. “Uh... Jinx.. It’s not that easy.”
Robin interrupted Jinx’s response. “So Raven, who’s the lucky daddy?” his eyes were filled with amusement as if he already knew.
Raven rolled her eyes to cover the blush that had spread on her face. “If you can’t tell, then your really stupid.” she muttered.
Starfire took Midnight from Jinx and showed her to beast boy. “Isn’t she so cute?”
Beast boy said nothing. His emerald eyes met the emerald ones of the small girl in front of him and he couldn’t believe what was going on. ‘She... she can’t be mine... can she? No, Raven would have told me but... her eyes, her hair, hell her nose is like mine... it can’t be...’ His eyes met Ravens and he asked her silently the question running through his mind. She nodded and looked away, face red.
He looked back at the girl that had been put down due to her complaining that the adults were “squeezing too hard.” Stunned with the new information that he was, and had been for many years, a father.
Midnight looked up at the man that stood in front of her. Suddenly she knew who it was and grinned. She hugged his legs and squealed happily.
Startled, beats boy tried to back away only to fall back on his butt. Midnight let go before he did and sat, staring in horror at what she had done. “I’m so sorry!” She said, eyes filling with tears.
“Don’t worry about it.” he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. He looked at the girl who’s tears were starting to spill over the edge of her cheeks and he suddenly felt bad.
A light nearby was surrounded in electric green energy and burst. Startled, Midnight stopped crying and waited for the screaming she knew she was about to receive. She was always yelled at by her tutors when her powers got out of control.
“Yea, definitely Raven’s daughter.” Cyborg laughed.
Midnight looked up at him in surprise. A smile soon replaced the frown and she could help but laugh in relief.
Beast boy got up. He needed someway to escape to his room and to think things over. He easily slipped past Midnight who was now staring at Cyborg with wide eyes. When he tried to slip towards the door Terra called to him.
“Where ya going Garfield?”
‘Damn’ he thought. “I just left something in my room. I’ll be back later.” he ran through the door and out of sight.
Midnight, who had looked away from Cyborg when terra had spoken was slightly confused. She walked over to the door that opened and down the hallway.
“Midnight, come here.” Raven cooed through the sadness that threatened to take control. She had seen his face and through his lie, he was upset with her and she knew it.
Midnight set her face to determination. “No. I’m going to see daddy.” she stated finally, walking down the hallway.
Raven stared after her daughter. The room was silent until jinx said quietly.
“You know, she takes after you.”
The room burst into laughter but pain still resided in Ravens heart. She gave a weak smile and said something about being tired and retreated to her room like she would have in the old days. She crawled under the covers and cried.
