[Raven's POV]

Parties are not my thing, they weren't my thing before and they aren't now even though I am six months pregnant. Although, the Titans basically begged me to do this baby shower more for them than myself. I keep in mind that is for them as I brush on the little makeup I have started to wear recently. Jason is throwing on some clothes, as I do so. I give myself another once over in the mirror rolling my eyes at the vanity of myself. Putting on makeup for a party? Really?

"So how do these gender reveal things even work?" I ask as I apply some chapstick to my lips. Jason turns around to look at me, I look at him though the mirror. He pulls his belt tight.

"From what I saw online its like the cake or balloons or whatever method they do just happen to know the gender" he answers. I snicker and brush my hair, which I have let get a bit longer than I would like. I turn around in my vanity chair and look at him as he pulls on a shirt.

"Babe, I think someone helps them with that. The doctor has to be involved. I still think we should have kept that part a bit private" I say he nod and puts on his deodorant and cologne. I turn back around, spraying the small bit of perfume I use, the same one I have always used. We both fall back into silence and focus on getting us the rest of the way ready. After that we head out the door to our car, Jason looks to his bike and pretends to reach for it dramatically. I shake my head and use the remote to unlock my car. He drives his bike whenever he can, so I have no sympathy of him having to drive with me in the car once in a while.

"So are we going to drive all the way there?" he asks I know what he means, he has never driven all the way to the tower. He doesn't know about the under water garage. I smile to myself as I slide into the driver's seat. I look in my reaview mirror and see the little carseat we already have sitting on the seat behind the passenger seat. It makes me feel butterflies in my stomach knowing that in three months that car seat will be occupied by a baby, and not just any baby. Our baby. We drive to the pier, I can tell he is expecting to get out. I stop the car and signal for him to stay inside the car, I walk out to the pier and wave my hand over the railing. A small red light appears at the top and the railing drops into the floor, a cement tube wide enough to fit a semi truck's height is lifted out of water by giant rails that cyborg carefully constructed a long time ago out of the left over parts from the spaceship Starfire was brought here on. Jason cocks his head to the side and looks at me, his features twisted into a puzzled look. I laugh to myself and get back in the car where he waits.

"Why the fuck did I not know about that?" he asks I throw my head back in a small laugh and turn the car over pressing my foot back on the break.

"You always got in somehow, didn't think you needed to know" I say his eyes narrow and glares at me. I let out another laugh and put the car into gear. The cement tunnel is dark, our headlights the only thing lighting our path. It's just a straight line all the way through so not too worried about it. Jason is gripping the 'oh shit bar' in the car as I go through. We finally reach the opening of where we enter the actual garage, a single light on showing me the open spots they have, we still have quite a lot. Not a lot of cars here, mostly the t-car and Robin's bike. The rest of the garage is like a workshop, where Cyborg spends a good amount of time. Making tiny fixes to the car that doesn't need anymore adjustments. I put the car in park and look over to Jason who was shaking his head.

"Never scare me like that again, I really thought we were going to die" he says I snicker and turn off the car, he gets out first rushing to my side and opens my door for me extending a hand out for me to grab to hold onto. Helping me out of the car and closing the door behind me. I smile and grab his hand walking with him to the elevator to take us up to the main rooms. I feel a little bit of nervousness in my belly. Unsure on who they invited or what they did to the living room. The elevator dings with every floor it passes, Jason's hand tightens around mine. I look to him and give him a small smile. He smiles back, I can feel him relax a little. I didn't even think about how nervous this makes him. The elevator finally opens to the living room A cascade of dark blues and purples around, I am taken aback. I walk out of the elevator my hand still tight around Jason's hand. The room doesn't at all look like the classic baby showers with the powder blue and the pastels. Instead the room is overflowing with the dark colors I enjoy. I press my lips together and take it all in. Black and blue balloons tied to the chairs around the breakfast bar, dark purple table clothes filled with cupcakes with black frosting and fingerfoods.

"For the love of Azerath this place is amazing" I say Beastboy walks into the room looking around a smirk planted on his face.

"We were hoping you would like it" he says, I walk over and wrap my arms around him, tightly. I have missed this little booger.

"I do like it, I love it. Wow, I did not expect this" I say he nods and points to the fridge.

"The cake is in there, instead of classic pink and blue for the gender we chose chocolate for boy, red velvet for girl and the frosting is all black" He says I laugh and cover my mouth with my hands taking in everything. It's a party that doesn't make me feel so out of place.

"Red velvet is just red chocolate cake...random fact for you" Jason says I turn around at him and see the awkward look on his face. Beastboy's ears stand straight up a bigger smile spreading on his face.

"Jason!" He exclaims and rushes passed me to hug him Jason's eyes widen in shock then accepts the hug, patting Beastboy on the back. A couple more footsteps are heard from behind me, I turn around and see Cyborg and Robin with black wrapped boxes in their hands.

Cyborg sets his box onto the coffee table in the middle of the living room and walks over to me, a smile planted on his face. He looks me up and down and pulls me in for a hug. I welcome it, I always forget how much I miss it here until I am here and I am flooded with memories. We pull apart a moment later.

"Wow, look at you. Your belly is showing a lot more than last time I saw you" He jokes I roll my eyes and scoff at him.

"Maybe because last time you saw me I was only a month or so" I reply he nods and laughs. He looks passed me and to Jason.

"Hey bro, how are you doing? Keeping her out of trouble?" he says giving him one of those bro hugs. Jason lets out a laugh and shakes his head.

"Trying to, it's harder than you think with this one" he jokes Cyborg laughs and nods patting Jason on the shoulder and turning back to me gesturing to the room, I give him two thumbs up and he fists the air in celebration.

We all get some last minute things put in place before other people who were invited started showing up, Titan's east is here. Some of the Justice league is even here. I smile as Batman walks in with a big blue box. He looks around the room and small smirk spreads on his face. Wonderwoman walks in after him, her face twisted in confusion at the dark party decor, I almost laugh out loud but instead I just sip my apple juice that Jason got for me. A couple of honorary Titans walk through the door with the same colored gift wraps. They must have put it on the invitations they sent out. Everything looks perfect.

"Hey Rae, how are you doing, I am going to be honest I didn't even know you were taken, or pregnant so this is complete news to me but congrats" Kid Flash says zooming around me, I smile and nod thanking him for coming and for the congrats.

"I know, I didn't even think you would be the first to get pregnant. For sure thought it would be Starfire" Bumblebee says approaching us, Kid Flash nods in agreement.

"I don't know what to tell you, shit happens" I say with a small laugh they chuckle at me while they eat the small finger foods from their plates. I look over at Jason talking with Aqualad his face lit up by the socialization. He seems cold but I know that he just doesn't get a lot of people to talk to anyway. I make my rounds talking to people, they all say the same thing which is that it is super shocking to them that I am the first one to get pregnant or that it was with someone outside of the Titans.

"So, how did you meet him?" I am asked by Kole, Gnarrk stands next to her looking around the room uncomfortably. Probably because everyone else is more...clothed.

"We went to the same High School until I had to stop going" I say Kole nods and looks up at Gnarrk.

"Was is it that whole issue with the girl dying?" Kole asks, my heart drops into my stomach, I had been trying not to think about Laurel since things have gotten better for me. I chew on the inside of my lip and nods slightly.

"Yeah, she was my best friend. I am happy I don't go to school though. It would have been way to weird with our identities out there" I add Kole nods in understanding and takes a sip of her drink. She is called over by someone from Titans East and I am left at the snack table. Most of the food has been eaten. Cyborg makes runs back and fourth to the kitchen to refill the foods that run out. I feel a hand on the small of my back I turn and see Jason, a small smile on his face. He looks like he is certainly having a good time here.

"Hey beautiful, Robin wants to know if you are ready to cut the cake" he asks me...I think to myself for a second and then nod to him. The quicker I know the faster I can come up with names. The smile planted on Jason's face relieves some tension I had in my chest. Worrying about how he would even deal with being surrounded by the Titans, how everyone would deal with being around him. So far everyone is having a good time. Starfire gleefully and loudly exclaims that she hopes my baby is a boy so that she can do her hair and nails when she gets older, although I don't think I would let her do that to my child. The crazy colors and the pigtails.

[Jason's POV]

Raven and I move over to the kitchen, standing out of the way while Cyborg gets everyone's attention and gets them all to surround the breakfast bar if they want to know the gender. If they want cake they surround as well, if it wasn't my baby it would just be for the cake. I keep my hand on Raven's back as she watches as everyone gets to the group. She has a little bit of excitement behind her eyes, a small sparkle that makes my heart do weird flips that I can't explain very well.

I feel a bit of excitement as well, my stomach fluttering like a school girl as I look down at Raven's belly. Her stomach has been growing a lot more these passed few weeks. Cyborg grabs that cake out of the fridge and sets it in front of Raven and I. The black frosting smells of buttercream and it tickles at my nose. I don't normally want sweets. Right now looking at this three tier cake with black buttercream frosting and red droplets on each tier, it calls to me. Maybe that's because I can't wait to help her see what color it is.

"Okay so does everyone know how this works?" Cyborg asks we both see a couple of shaking heads and to our disappointment Cyborg chooses to explain to them what it is. Instead of letting me just show them.

"So Raven and Jason told their doctor to let send us a letter with their babies Gender...and by that I mean we went over thee and told their doctor that we have permission." He gets a couple scattered laughs from the room, Raven being one of them. I guess she has her answer on how these things work.

"We, without opening it, went to a bakery and asked them to make the cake Chocolate for boy, and red velvet for girl, then to frost it black and decorate it. They did, we have it and BOOYAH! Raven cuts it open and we figure out which one it is" Cyborg finishes, he looks at the both of us and slides Raven this big knife. She grabs it in her right hand and I grab it with both of mine, I am pretty good with either of my hands but in this case, it's to keep me from shaking.

We guide the knife into the the cake and then again through the other side to make an almost perfect slice. Raven's breath quickens and I can feel her shaking, I can hear her whispering her encantation to herself over and over as it calms her. We put the knife underneath the slice of cake so that we can move it onto a plate for everyone to see. Raven grabs the plate with her left hand and holds it close to the knife. We both lift out of the cake eager to see the inside.

We pull it out of the cake and set it on the plate, my eyes fall on it. Raven sets the plate on the counter and turns to me with excitement. She throws her arms around my neck. I hug her back seeing what we are having the room erupts with loud celebration.

" We are having a boy! I am so excited" She says that twinkle in her eye that much bigger. She has been hoping for a boy. When everyone's celebration dies down a bit we hand out the cake and allow everyone to eat the cake and enjoy the rest of the party. I sit on the couch looking out at everyone having a good time. Names that I have been wanting to name my kid now flowing through my head as I now know which ones I can name him. Raven sits down next to me entangling her fingers in mine and leaning her head on me. I plant a small kiss on her forehead and lean my cheek on her head. We both sit here for a few, just taking in everything and thinking about the day and our new information.

"Congrats on the baby boy Raven" WonderWoman says to Raven, Raven sits up and thanks her, a smile on her face. They have a small conversation about how excited she is and how Wonderwoman thinks motherhood is just amazing. They say goodbye to each other and Raven leans back into me. She kicks off her shoes and puts them onto the couch making a small groaning sound as she does, she does that sound every time she takes off her shoes.

"My ankles are so swollen right now, my feet look like I am wearing clown shoes" She says I laugh and put a hand on her shoulder gently rubbing it. She releases another groan. I stop and look back around the room, seeing how many people actually showed up to see the gender of our baby.

"I didn't say stop" She pleads grabbing my hand with hers and placing it back on her shoulder to show me she wants me to continue. I can't help but smirk but, I continue rubbing small circles into her shoulder with my thumb, with enough pressure to know that she has a lot of knots in her shoulders. The tension in her shoulders and neck are actually what is probably giving her the headaches she gets in the morning. When I finally pull myself out of my thoughts I notice Raven drifting off to sleep while leaning against me. i worry for her social battery. Pregnant Women get really tired fast a well. I nudge her, startling her away but I guide her down to lay her head on my lap. She does and then she quickly closes her eyes falling back asleep almost instantly. I see a couple of the Women in the room awe in her. Admiring how beautiful it is that she is taking a small nap while still creating life.

Within the next two hours people started to head out, giving me either a firm handshake or a slight side hug while congratulating me on the baby boy to be and expressing they hope we enjoy their gift. A couple let me know they didn't get us a gift but they gave us a card that they hope is worth something. I tell each of them that we appreciate everything that they did even if it is just jotting their name down underneath a printed text in a card. The thought and good wishes are what matter.

Raven stays asleep through every interaction, snorting every now and then resulting in some shared laughs with her peers. By the time everyone has left and it's only us and the Titans it is around nine in the evening. The sun has long gone down and the lights in the Tower are shining just as bright as the sun was. Raven stays sleeping on the couch even after I have gotten up to go to the bathroom. So while she sleeps the Titans and I decide to clean up the tower, leaving the highly stacked presents.

"Today was a big success, I was worried that the cake baker was going to fuck up and make the cake marbled." Cyborg says hauling a giant trash bag into the room and setting it down to be taken out.

"It was a great party, we cannot thank you enough. I don't think I have ever seen Raven so excited to actually party" I say Cyborg chuckles a bit as he starts the next trash bag with cups and plates of food that were either left behind or empty.

"She usually is not one for parties, she lasted a lot longer than I thought she would. Thought for sure she was going to KO a lot sooner" he says I nod as I take the streamers down from the ceiling on a very high latter. Beastboy collects the streamers off the floor and shove them in his own trashbag.

"I thought she would hide in her room" he says I chuckle and swat the last steamer down from the ceiling. I step down from the latter carefully, looking down at the bottom to make sure I am hitting the steps. When I get down Beastboy helps me fold the latter back down by turning himself into a gorilla and closing it. It is a lot better to see that and not have it trying to throw cars at you in the middle of a battle. He sets the latter down onto the floor and continues with his trash pick up. I move the latter out of the way, so that no one trips over it. The living room where the presents are is the only area that hasn't been touched. Raven still sleeps on the couch, her swollen ankles tucked up onto the couch, her arm supporting her head while her other hand is on the side of her belly. I smile a little before I start cleaning the rest of the party tables they had put up with the snacks on it.

Robin turns the corner of the staircase and looks around the room.

"Wow, you guys really cleaned this place up" he exclaims, he looks a little impressed.

"We still have a lot to do, but yeah we wanted to get it done sooner rather than later." Cyborg says closing up another trash bag. "For super heroes no one really knows how to clean up after themselves"

I let out a laugh as I dump a plate full of half eaten chicken wings into the my trash bag. Beastboy makes a sound as if he is disgusted, I remember that he is peers over to the couch and smiles at seeing Raven asleep.

"Party wiped both of the girls out I guess, Star is upstairs knocked out. She fell asleep before taking off her makeup so I helped her out a bit" He says I look over at Raven wondering if she cares that she fell asleep in her makeup.

An hour or so later we finish cleaning up the place and loading the presents very carefully into the car, which a few that we will need to come back and pick up. Raven had started to stir and was no sleeping again in the passenger seat of the car. I said my goodbyes and thanked them all for the party. They thanked me for the help with the clean up. I got another stern talking to from Cyborg about treating her right and being the best father I can be. It warms me that he no longer looks at me like he wants to kill me. Now it is just that he wants Raven to be okay. Which I understand. I drive us home, very slowly in the tunnel since I have a fear that I am going to crash the car in the Titan's underground entrance. I come out the other side okay, even though it took forever.

Raven stirs some more sitting up in her seat and adjusting the seatbelt. She looks around and then to me, quietly nodding to herself and relaxing in the passenger seat. She reaches and places her hand on my lap, I grab it with my hand and kiss the back of her hand. We finally pull up to our apartment and decide to leave the presents in the car for the night. She needs to get inside an actual bed. I help her up the stairs, and to the room. She lays down before I even get a chance to ask if she wants anything to eat. I smile and make myself a sandwich. The living room of our apartment which is now the nursery feels a incomplete. We both already chose the names wanted for boy or girl. I set my sandwhich down on my plate that rests on the counter. I put up the letter forming the the name of our baby boy on the empty space we kept for the wall. Each letter is painted in a different way with cute little shapes on them and little animals. I stand back to make sure it is straight. It is perfect.

The name reads

Alistair.
