Chapter 5
“If she gets in anyone’s way, just sit her in the corner.” Raven was saying as she got ready to go back to Azarath the next morning.
“Rae, just calm down, she’ll be fine.” Beast boy said, hugging the frantic girl.
Raven laughed nervously. “Sorry.” she mutter. “This is going to be the first time I haven’t been with her. Well, at least not in the same place, I mean she was in the castle with me or..”
Beast boy silenced her with a kiss. “Calm down. She’ll be fine and so will you. Take your time, if there’s something that needs to be done while your there do it. She’s in good hands.”
As if on cue, Starfire and Jinx walked into the room. Star was holding a wiggling Midnight who was able to get away and run over to her parents. She clung to Beast boy’s leg and hid.
He chuckled softly and picked the little girl up. “Hiding are we?” She nodded and buried her face in his shoulder as Starfire came up to him.
“May I hold her?”
Beast boy pondered her question. “I think I’ll take her for a bit. We’re gunna go practice as soon as her mother leaves.” he said, eyes twinkling mischievously.
“I knew I forgot something!” Raven said suddenly. “If you have to go into the city on call, don’t worry about her, she can hold her own in battle. Just ask her aunt.” Midnight grinned and reached out to hug her mother.
“Behave missy.” Raven said hugging her before she kissed Beast boy lightly.
“I will. Tell Aunt Shadow that I love her!” Midnight called to her mother as she disappeared with a wave through a dark portal.
As she vanished, Starfire floated over to Robin who had just walked through the door, yawning.
Beast boy smiled and set Midnight down. “Did you want to go find some more animals to turn into?” he asked.
Midnight’s eyes grew large. “Yeah!” He smiled and took her hand as they walked out of the lounge into the training room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Beast boy flopped down onto the couch with Midnight next to him. “Rae was right, you can hold your own in battle.”
Midnight grinned and BB suddenly thought of something.
“Mid, How come you can show happiness but not sadness? Yesterday when you started to cry something blew up but you go around smiling all the time and nothing happens.”
Midnight sat thoughtful for a moment. “Mommy says that I only got part of grandpa’s anger so it would only affect me a little bit.”
“Oh.” they sat in silence until Robin and Starfire walked in hand in hand.
“Hey BB, Midnight.” Robin said as Star flew over to them.
“Are you hungry?” she asked. “I’ll make some sandwiches if ya are.”
Midnight nodded, scooting closer to Beast boy who laughed. “She’s not going to bite.” he whispered as she walked away. “Maybe when she was younger yeah, but not now.” He laughed again when her eyes grew wide.
Starfire brought her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “Thank you.” she said, taking a bite into it. “Mmm, it good.” she said through a mouthful of peanut butter. After she finished her sandwich she curled up sleepily next to Beast boy.
He smiled and wrapped an arm around his daughter. He closed his eyes for a moment and was woken up a few hours later by some yelling going on. He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the noise.
Raven and Shadow were arguing. ‘Wait, Shadow?!’ he thought bewildered. He stood up and walked over to where the two were. Midnight was sitting on the table watching them both.
“I’m not going to stay!” Raven was saying.
“But Rae! You have to! I can’t stop this by myself!”
“No Shadow, I turned the crown over to you. You have to do it yourself!” Raven shouted back.
“What’s wrong guys?” Beast boy asked.
“Tell Rae that she has to come back to Azarath to help me stop the rebellion!” said Shadow.
“I wouldn’t listen to him even if he did tell me!” Raven shot back at her sister.
“Guys, guys! Calm down!” Robin said, walking between the two. “Just let’s think about this rationally. Shadow needs help and the city has been fine. Why don’t we all go and help out?”
“Because, you can’t leave the city undefended and she needs to learn how to do things herself. Gone only a few days and your already making trouble!” Raven said, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Me an Jinx will stay. It shouldn’t be too much trouble, Slade’s not here any more, neither is Brother Blood. As for her learning on her own, you gotta help her, you can’t expect her to just be thrown into ruling and expect everything to be fine.” Cyborg said in a mater-of-fact tone.
Raven sighed in defeat. “Fine, but your not coming to me for every little thing you need!”
Shadow grinned. “Once in a life time thing, promise!” she then turned to Beast boy. “Hey ya, surprised ta see that you got a daughter?”
“Just a bit. So when we going?” he asked, leaning against the wall as Raven handed him a cup of tea.
“Tomorrow. I need to rest before we go back.” Raven said, heading for her room with Midnight skipping behind her. Raven turned when she stepped on her foot and smiled, picking her up. “Come on ya brat.” she laughed, walking into her room.
Beast boy sighed and sat down at the table as the others left, mumbling about things they needed to do. Shadow sat on it near him. “You alright?”
“It’s still a shocker to see Midnight. Why didn’t she tell me?” He asked.
Shadow gave him a small smile. “You know, she loves you to death. You should have seen her at my coronation, I didn’t think she was going to be able to keep her pants on.” she laughed. “She was so desperate to see you and Midnight’s always been asking about her dad. She saw pictures but never meet ya and she just wanted to see you so bad. She was almost as antsy as her mother but she kept it cool.” Shadow smirked. “I thought Rae was going to kill someone when she was told how long she had to stay on Azarath.”
Beast boy smiled slightly. “Yeah well..... I missed her a lot but I never expected her to return with a kid!”
“Oh yeah, you know the process to making one, which you did, but never expected to actually have one? Typical guys, all they wanna do is bang and bail.” Shadow scoffed.
Beast boy blushed. “N..no! I just... never really thought about it, is all.”
Shadow grinned. “Get outta here. Oh, by the way, I’m borrowing your room so you can tell my niece that. She wanted to sleep with me tonight.”
“Where am I staying then?” he asked bewildered.
She rolled her eyes. “Lets see, Midnight will be with me, Raven will be all alone in her room with no one to cuddle with. Hmm, where can we put ya?” she said sarcastically.
He couldn’t help but grin. “Yeah, yeah. I get it. Now get your ass to bed.” he said.
Shadow laughed and melted into the darkness beneath the table, no doubt going to BB’s room.
Chuckling slightly, Beast boy walked down to Ravens room and knocked on the door. “Hey Rae, can I come in.”
“Yeah.” was the reply.
He opened the door and Midnight sat on her mothers stomach, bouncing up and down. “Again!”
Raven rolled her eyes. “One more time.” she tossed midnight up and caught her once more. “Alright missy, go find your Aunt and see where she’s sleeping.
“She’s in my room actually.” Beast boy said, walking over to her bed and sitting down on the edge. “Said that she was taking my room again.”
Raven smiled. “Alright little one. Get a move on, were leaving early.” She kissed her forehead and set her down on the floor.
Midnight looked up at Beast boy and he smiled, leaning down and kissing her cheek. “Now get outta here ya bug.” Midnight grinned and skipped out, the door shutting behind her.
“So, where are you staying?” Raven asked, laying back against her pillow.
“I asked Shadow the same thing and she said, Quote ‘Midnight will be with me, Raven will be all alone in her room with no one to cuddle with. Hmm, where can we put ya?' “ His voice sarcastic. “Just like that actually.”
She smiled and patted the space next to her. “I guess that can be arranged.” Beast boy smiled and laid down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body tight against his. “She also said that you had ants in your pants and couldn't wait to get here..”
Raven shook her head. “She’s such a....”
Though she never got out what she thought of her sister. Beast boy kissed her deeply and pulled the blankets up around her shoulders. “Lets get some sleep.” he said quietly after he pulled away.
Raven nodded and curled up against him. ‘How I missed his warmth.’ she thought before falling asleep.
“If she gets in anyone’s way, just sit her in the corner.” Raven was saying as she got ready to go back to Azarath the next morning.
“Rae, just calm down, she’ll be fine.” Beast boy said, hugging the frantic girl.
