Chapter 14
“Friend, how are you feeling?” Starfire asked as Raven waited for all the Titans and everyone else to arrive at the water side where she was to be married. She was waiting in a small building off to the side for it to begin.
“Nervous, extremely nervous.” she muttered, her stomach queasy. She shifted uncomfortably in her wedding dress. ‘I can’t wait to change.’ She thought.
Jinx smiled from beside Cyborg, who was Beast boy’s best man. He was waiting for more people to gather before he joined Beast boy. “You’ll be fine.” she said in her light blue bridesmaid dress. Her stomach was bulging slightly after the four months since their return. She had informed the others that she was pregnant with Cyborg’s child a few months ago.
“Yeah, you can’t be as nervous as B. You should have seen him this morning, pacing up and down the common room.” he shook his head. “Makes me wonder how I will act when we get married.” he added unblushingly when he looked at Jinx.
Terra, wearing a dress similar to Jinx’s, smiled at Raven. “I can’t wait until after the wedding. I know Garfield was hinting that he was going to stuff cake up your nose the other night.” she said, her grin widening.
“Oh really? We’ll see about that.” Raven said smirking as Robin walked towards them. She lost her smirk as he neared and her stomach did a turn, it was almost time.
“Better head up there Cy, he’s going a little nuts.” He said, wrapping his arm around Starfire.
“Alright. Good luck.” Cyborg winked at Raven and gave Jinx a quick kiss before heading out the doors to stand by his best friend.
“Feeling alright there Raven?” Robin asked as his friend remained silent and stalk still with her eyes closed.
“Fine.” she said quietly.
Starfire hugged her quickly, “You shall do fine.”
Robin grinned. “Yeah, and think, soon you’ll be off to Africa for a week for your honeymoon.”
Raven couldn’t help but smile. Beast boy had been in contact with the people that had raised him after his parents had died. They were waiting to welcome Raven into the family and Beast boy was thrilled.
‘Of course, he said he also couldn’t wait for a few other things to.’ She thought with a small blush.
Midnight came bounding into the room in her flower girl dress. She was thrilled that she could take part in her mothers wedding. “Daddy’s really nervous.” she giggled. “But he didn’t want me to tell you that.”
Raven smiled and hugged Midnight tightly. “ I love you sweetheart.” she said softly.
Midnight smiled. “I love you too mommy!”
In the distance, music started to play.
“It’s time Raven.” Robin said with a smile. He held his arm out to Starfire and they headed out the door.
“Do not be so nervous friend Raven!” Starfire called as they left.
Jinx smiled and gave her arm a small squeeze as she waited a moment and followed the two out.
Terra hugged her which surprised the dark woman. “I’m glad were friends now. Good luck.” she whispered before following the others out.
Raven took a deep breath and moved towards the door with Midnight in front of her. “Alright sweety, go ahead.” Midnight smiled and headed out of the room leaving Raven alone.
‘Alright, here we go.’ she thought before moving out to the side of the building and waiting for the music to reach the right part.
When it did, she took another deep breath and headed out.
~*~*~
Beast boy fidgeted nervously as he waited for Robin and Starfire to walk down the aisle.
“Relax B.” Cyborg whispered.
Beats boy nodded. Jinx and Terra had made their way down and Midnight was now skipping down the aisle throwing petals on the ground. The music changed and his heart skipped a beat as Raven appeared from around the corner and walked slowly towards him.
‘She beautiful...’ He thought. She wore a crown that held her veil in place and her long, white silk dress that trailed behind her slightly.
Raven gave him a small grin and he could see that she was nervousness that was dancing in her eyes, along with happiness and love. He gave her one of his famous lopsided grins as she neared and he took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
“Your beautiful.” he whispered as he led her a few steps forward.
She smiled as they waited for the man in front of them to speak.
To both Raven and beast boy (they were sure to everyone else as well) that the ceremony took forever. However, as it neared to an end, Raven felt beast boy become stiffer next to her. She squeezed his hand gently and he glanced over at her. Her smile seemed to loosen him up and they turned back to the man.
“Do you, Garfield Mark Logan, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
Beast boy gulped and opened his mouth. “I do.” he said in a strong voice that surprised both Raven and himself.
“Do you, Raven Relithian, take this man, to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
Raven looked at him and smiled. “I do.”
Beast boy let out a breath that he didn’t realize he was holding and they exchanged simple silver bands.
“With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Raven smiled nervously as Beast boy lifted the small veil. She was worried something would happen but put it behind her as his lips met her own and the world ceased to matter as a thought shot across her mind. ‘We’re married.’
Cheers and clapping erupted around them as they drew apart. Raven was having slight trouble holding back the tears of happiness .
As they walked down the aisle hand in hand, Beast boy whispered in her ear. “When happiness fills the heart, sometimes it leaks out of the eyes.”
As they got into the T-car that Cyborg was going to be driving (he had put up a black screen in between the seats line in a limo for their privacy) Raven wrapped her arms tightly around Beast boy and kissed him again.
“What you just said, was beautiful.” she whispered.
He chuckled slightly. “See, kid movies are useful.”
Raven smiled. “I know, Mulan II. Please, I watch that more than you.”
“Ready to go?” Cyborg asked, putting the black window down a bit.
“Rock it away Cy.” Beast boy said, wrapping his arms around Raven. Cyborg seemed to take his words to heart as the stepped on the gas and sped off to the Tower where the reception was going to be held.
~*~
Raven had changed into the dress she had worn the first day she had returned to the Tower after the many years apart and was wandering amongst the guest with Beast boy at her side. They had already danced and had dinner, now everyone was just enjoying themselves.
“Hey B, few people want to know when your gunna open the presents so you can get on with the cake.” Cyborg called with a smile.
Beast boy grinned, “I think we can do that now.”
They proceeded in opening gifts which included many books for both Raven and Beast boy and from Cyborg and Jinx, they received a ball and chain connected to two shackles. (AN: Funny thing is, one my moms friends got that for her wedding.)
Everyone burst into laughter when Beast boy took it out and held it up for everyone to see. He turned to Cyborg with a grin. “This is awesome man.”
“And it’s for both of ya.” he said with a wink. “So you’ll never be separated.”
“Any key?” Raven asked.
“Nope, you’d be stuck with him forever.” Jinx said.
Raven smiled even more and wrapped an arm around Beast boy. “Too late, I already am.”
More laughter rang through the air as they finished opening the presents and moved on to the cake. Midnight had rushed from her hiding spot in the corner when they went to cut it.
Beast boy smiled at Raven as he held the piece for her and she did the same for him.
“Oh yeah, Garfield, I have something I want to give you.” she said sweetly.
“Oh yeah? What?” he asked slightly confused.
Raven grinned and whispered in his ear. “This.” with that, she took the piece and shoved it in his face, getting part of it up his nose. He jumped back, trying to get it out.
“Rae!”
The others around them laughed. Raven grinned and brought Terra over to her side. “Thanks to Terra here, I knew what you were going to try and do.” She said.
“Terra! How could you tell her?” Beast boy asked as he wiped frosting off his nose.
Terra laughed. ‘She’s my friend, I had ta warn her.”
Beast boy grinned as he took two large handfuls of cake. “Since it would be rude to make her wait.” He took one and shoved it into Raven’s face. “That one was for you and since you two are the best of friends, I think you can share the consequences.” he took the other and mashed it into her hair.
Both girls started laughing as they took the cake away from their face. “What’s so funny?” beast boy asked, confused.
“Nothing, nothing.” Raven said as she picked up Midnight who struggled to get to her father.
Beast boy took her happily. “See, at least someone loves me enough not to shove cake up my..”
At that moment, Midnight, who had taken a handful of cake without her father looking, shoved it in his face. She burst into giggles and slipped from her dads grasp.
“Is everyone out to get me?!” he asked as he wiped cake off his face for the second time.
Raven and Terra started to laugh once more. “Serves you right.” terra said. “Now, before all this lovely cake that Cyborg made goes to waste, I suggest we get it all cut up for everyone else.”
They agreed and got it all passed around. Beast boy sat on the counter with Raven next to him on one side and Midnight on the other.
“You two are so going to get it later.” he said, wrapping his arms around his two girls.
Raven smiled. “I’m sure I will. But Midnight gets hers while we’re gone, she has to stay with Aunt Star.”
Midnight pouted while beast boy chuckled and kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry, she’s lightened up a lot.”
Raven smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder. “This is the best day ever.”
“It’s not over yet.” Beast boy said. Raven frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
“I know we weren’t supposed to get each other things but this is for all of us, that is, if you want it to be.” he took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Raven.
She took it with a puzzled look on her face and opened it up. After reading it, her eyes widened greatly. “This is...this is...”
Beast boy smiled and kissed her cheek. “Adoption papers. I want Midnight to have my last name, like you do now. All you have to do, is come with me after we get back from Africa and sign some stuff and it’ll be official.”
Raven looked at him with tears in her eyes and she hugged him tightly. Midnight, who was looking slightly confused asked. “So, when you get back, my names not going to be Midnight Relithian, it’s going to be Midnight Logan?”
Beast boy nodded and Midnight was silent for a moment before smiling. “Cool!” She hopped into her fathers lap and hugged him tightly.
Beast boy smiled and kissed her forehead.
“Hey Rae, you going to throw the bouquet so you can get outta here?” Jinx called.
Raven laughed. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” She hopped off the counter and waited for all the women to get behind her.
“Here it comes!” She tossed it in the air and she turned around to see Starfire catch it. Terra was hugging her and Jinx had turned to Robin. “So when’s the wedding?” She asked.
Raven smiled as Beast boy walked back through the doors that led to their living quarters with suitcases in his hands.
“Ready?” he asked.
Raven nodded and Picked Midnight up. She gave her daughter a kiss and big huge before letting her father do the same.
“Sorry to leave on you all before you yourselves go, but we have a flight to catch.” He ushered Raven towards the door and followed after her as she waved to the crowed that was hollering and clapping.
“Now who’s going to help pick up?” Cyborg whined as they left.
~*~
“Kamaria! Akin!” Beast boy cried as the vehicle that was bringing them to the tribe, stopped. He rushed out of it and into the loving arms of the people that took care of him before her arrived in the United States.
“Dinari!” (Our shining star) they cried, hugging him tightly.
“How are you?” He asked excitedly.
“Very well, and you? You have grown up to be a fine young man.” the man said.
Raven walked forwards slightly, unsure of what to do. Fortunately, Beast boy took her hand and led her to his ‘parents.’
“Raven, this is Kamaria, my mother after my parents died. Her name means ‘like the moon.’ This is Akin, my ‘father.’ his name means ‘warrior.’ “ he said, explaining.
“Hello.” Raven said, slightly nervous.
Kamaria hugged her tightly. “We have heard much about you from Dinari.”
“Dinari?” Raven asked, slightly confused.
“It’s what they called me. It means ‘our shining star.’ “ he blushed slightly. “They could not have children of their own so when I was found, weak after my parents had died, they believed that I was their ‘shining star.’
Raven smiled. “I like it.”
Akin smiled. “We are glad. Now, we must choose a name for you.”
“I already thought of one, if you don’t mind.” he said.
“Go ahead Dinari. She is yours to name.” Kamaria said, laughing slightly.
Beast boy smiled. “Sauda.” he said softly.
His ‘parents’ smiled. “A fitting name.” Akin said in his gentle voice.
“What does it mean?” Raven asked.
Beast boy smiled and hugged her. “Dark beauty.”
Raven smiled back. “ I like it.” she leaned her head against his shoulder.
“Come.” Kamaria said, beckoning them towards what looked like a newly erected hut.
That night, Raven and beast boy were married the tribes way before they were able to go into their place where they were going to stay.
The bed was made of a soft cloth and filled with feathers. When Raven heard this, she glanced at Beast boy, seeing how he would take the fact the he would be sleeping on something from a fellow animal.
He seemed to have no problem and explained latter that it was how he grew up sleeping on them, before he was a vegetarian. “It doesn’t really bother me. It’s just how they live and how I used to live for a little while.”
They both had crawled into bed under the warm blankets made of the same material. Raven was tired but Beast boy had other ideas that became apparent when he started kissing the back of Raven’s neck and sliding his hand up her night shirt.
“Gar...” she said with a smile on her face as she turned towards him. He silenced the rest of her sentence with a passionate kiss. She moaned slightly as he pulled her body closer to his and trailed kisses down her neck.
Each kiss was as soft as a dandelion puff that sent fire throughout her body. “Gar...” she said quietly.
“Hm?” he asked, sucking lightly on the hollow spot of her neck.
“I love you.”
He looked into her eyes and smiled. “I love you too Rae.” he slid his hand into hers and kissed her softly. “I’ll always love you, and Midnight.”
Raven smiled. “I’m glad you got to know her.” she said as she leaned her head against his chest.
“So am I.” he was quiet before he started kissing her again.
Raven could resist a small laugh. “Someone’s a little eager huh?”
He kissed her cheek then trailed kisses to her ear and bit it lightly before licking it. “I’ve waited 7 years without anything but the thought of you. How much longer are you going to make me wait?” he asked, his warm breath sending chills down her spine.
She smiled seductively. “I could be mean and make you wait a few more days but then, you’ve already got me.” she slipped off his shirt and smiled as she ran her long fingers down his chest softly, making him groan.
“Still the same weak spot I see.” she said with a smile.
“Yeah.” he trailed kisses down her neck once more and ran his hands along her curves to her hips and smiled. “Rae, you want another kid?”
~*~*~
“Mommie, daddy!” Midnight cried as her parents walked through the door after their week long vacation. She wrapped her arms tightly around her parents legs. “I missed you!”
Raven kissed her daughters cheek. “We missed you too baby.”
Beast boy smiled and lifted her up. “Were you a good girl?”
Robin smiled from on the couch. “Besides the little hide and seek game, everything was great.”
Midnight smiled. “That was fun!”
“Any trouble while we were gone?” Beast boy asked.
Starfire shook her head. “Nothing very troublesome. Dr. Light showed up and asked where you were though.” she giggled. “He heard that you returned.”
Raven rolled her eyes, “and he showed up because?”
Robin shrugged. “I thought he just wanted to see if you were the same.” he said with a grin.
Raven shook her head and looked around the common room. Cyborg and Jinx were playing air hockey- Jinx wining of course- and Robin and Star were cuddled up on the couch. Terra was sitting on the counter, talking to someone on her communicator.
“You know, I’m glad that we’re home.” Raven said, leaning against Beast boy.
“Me too.” he said, kissing her cheek before kissing Midnights. “I love my family, all of you guys.”
~*~
3 weeks later:
“Mommy, hurry up!” Midnight called from the lounge. “I want to go to the Zoooooo!”
Beast boy smiled as he held a fidgeting Midnight. For her birthday that was coming up, they promised to take her to the zoo and her mother was being rather slow.
Raven smiled as she walked into the lounge. She kissed Beast boy and whispered. “Well, it looks like you’ve gotten your wedding present, but it’s going to be delayed just a few months longer.”
Beast boy looked slightly confused. “What do you mean?”
Raven’s smile widened. “I’m pregnant.”
“Friend, how are you feeling?” Starfire asked as Raven waited for all the Titans and everyone else to arrive at the water side where she was to be married. She was waiting in a small building off to the side for it to begin.
“Nervous, extremely nervous.” she muttered, her stomach queasy. She shifted uncomfortably in her wedding dress. ‘I can’t wait to change.’ She thought.

“Kamaria! Akin!” Beast boy cried as the vehicle that was bringing them to the tribe, stopped. He rushed out of it and into the loving arms of the people that took care of him before her arrived in the United States.
“Dinari!” (Our shining star) they cried, hugging him tightly.
“How are you?” He asked excitedly.
“Very well, and you? You have grown up to be a fine young man.” the man said.
Raven walked forwards slightly, unsure of what to do. Fortunately, Beast boy took her hand and led her to his ‘parents.’

He kissed her cheek then trailed kisses to her ear and bit it lightly before licking it. “I’ve waited 7 years without anything but the thought of you. How much longer are you going to make me wait?” he asked, his warm breath sending chills down her spine.
She smiled seductively. “I could be mean and make you wait a few more days but then, you’ve already got me.” she slipped off his shirt and smiled as she ran her long fingers down his chest softly, making him groan.
“Still the same weak spot I see.” she said with a smile.
“Yeah.” he trailed kisses down her neck once more and ran his hands along her curves to her hips and smiled. “Rae, you want another kid?”

“Mommie, daddy!” Midnight cried as her parents walked through the door after their week long vacation. She wrapped her arms tightly around her parents legs. “I missed you!”
Raven kissed her daughters cheek. “We missed you too baby.”
Beast boy smiled and lifted her up. “Were you a good girl?”
Robin smiled from on the couch. “Besides the little hide and seek game, everything was great.”
Midnight smiled. “That was fun!”
“Any trouble while we were gone?” Beast boy asked.
Starfire shook her head. “Nothing very troublesome. Dr. Light showed up and asked where you were though.” she giggled. “He heard that you returned.”
Raven rolled her eyes, “and he showed up because?”
Robin shrugged. “I thought he just wanted to see if you were the same.” he said with a grin.
Raven shook her head and looked around the common room. Cyborg and Jinx were playing air hockey- Jinx wining of course- and Robin and Star were cuddled up on the couch. Terra was sitting on the counter, talking to someone on her communicator.
“You know, I’m glad that we’re home.” Raven said, leaning against Beast boy.
“Me too.” he said, kissing her cheek before kissing Midnights. “I love my family, all of you guys.”

3 weeks later:
“Mommy, hurry up!” Midnight called from the lounge. “I want to go to the Zoooooo!”
Beast boy smiled as he held a fidgeting Midnight. For her birthday that was coming up, they promised to take her to the zoo and her mother was being rather slow.
Raven smiled as she walked into the lounge. She kissed Beast boy and whispered. “Well, it looks like you’ve gotten your wedding present, but it’s going to be delayed just a few months longer.”
Beast boy looked slightly confused. “What do you mean?”
Raven’s smile widened. “I’m pregnant.”
