A Walk in the Park

I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton

The next day was the first official part of the reception. The superheroes in attendance partied like they didn't have to stop.

Kids ran all over the reception hall, having a blast. Adults drank and had a merry time. It was great fun.

"I'm tired!" Red Arrow whined.

"I'm tired!" Cheshire snapped.

He pouted.

"Arrow!"

He smiled accidentally.

She blushed. "I just had a baby. Leave me alone."

"Two isn't strong enough."

She swatted his chest.

Lian shrieked. "Arrow!"

Red Arrow's expression flattened.

Cheshire grinned. "That's my baby!"

"Look at them!" Changeling took pictures of his oldest kids dancing with his youngest kids. Charlotte was holding Apollo's hands as he hopped around and Sebastian swayed with Artemis. It was the cutest thing.

Raven smiled as she waved away birds. For once, her family was at peace.

Jinx frowned as she grappled with Bertram, who wanted to get down and run.

Kid Flash held Talah as she jumped all over him. "I don't know what to do. I'm tired."

"Why does he want to run so much?!"

"Freedom."

She tried to understand that. "Fine. But I can't keep up with him."

"Switch?"

"Switch." They switched children and ran into new unique problems.

Bumble Bee finished tossing her cookies in the bathroom and came on out. "I hate this."

Cyborg rubbed her back and led her back to their table where Hot Spot and Argent were watching their children, who were giving the couple the flux. "How are we going to have five kids?"

Hot Spot avoided Marco's claws and teeth as he wanted to play as a snow leopard. "I can't believe you're going to have five!"

"Yeah." Bumble Bee sighed deeply as she sat down. "Five of them. I don't know how Marcy does it."

"Five, Mommy?" Calvin peered into her face.

"Yeah. Five of you little honeybees."

Calvin beamed. "That's a lot."

"Boy, don't I know it."

Cyborg smirked. "It'll be exciting."

Hot Spot watched Argent as she watched the Stone family. He loved how envious she looked as she looked at the family interact. She wouldn't have to be envious anymore. If she'd have him. He checked his watch and saw it was time.

A spotlight found them and Argent looked around in confusion. "What's going on?"

Hot Spot stood up then got down on one knee in front of her.

She immediately burst into tears.

"Toni. Antonia Louise Monetti." Hot Spot began seriously. "I have loved you for so long that it's impossible for me to remember a time when you weren't all I thought about. I know I've made you wait so long and I'm sorry. I just wanted to be sure we were doing the right thing but I've always been sure of you."

Argent was inconsolable.

"If you have me, I will make your dreams come true. Every last one. You have my heart and without a doubt I love you. Please, Toni, will you marry me?"

It was pin drop quiet as she tried to stop crying. She nodded so hard, they all thought her neck would snap. "Yes! Yes! Of course I'll marry you, Isaiah!"

Hot Spot shot up and pulled her to her feet to kiss her deeply as applause rang out.

Kole ran straight to Jericho. "Joey!"

"What's up?" Jericho signed as he played with Junior.

She plowed into him. "I just talked to Changeling!"

"Okay?"

"Guess what he said!"

"Something about an animal."

"No!" She giggled.

"Something about his wife."

"No!" She was tired of having him guess so incorrectly. "I'm pregnant!"

His eyes widened. "What?!"

She nodded as she watched his hands for the first words he'd sign upon getting this news.

"I love you so much!"

She fell into tears. "I love you so much!"

"Mommy!" Junior wondered why his mother was crying.

She kissed his outstretched hands. "You're going to have a little sister!"

Jericho was cool with that. He was so happy, he was cool with everything.

The press was shocked when Aqualad revealed his new superhero name; Tempest. It was a brand new start to their lives together so he wanted a whole new name.

Christopher helped Mar'i eat her solid food. Now that she had (albeit a few) teeth, she was dismissive towards Starfire's breast milk so he fed her as often as he could.

Starfire rubbed her stomach as she watched them bond. She couldn't wait to see what she was having this time (having opted not to know) and how it would fit in with their existing brother and sister.

Nightwing looked over his family before offering a hand to his bride. "Would you care to dance?"

Starfire's eyes lit up harmlessly. "Yes!"

Nightwing swept her up into a dance, Christopher and Mar'i giggling.

The party raged for nearly twenty four hours. It was a little unheard of but that was how traditional Russian weddings were so that's what the Titans did.

It was pleasurable and fun was had by all.

Aqualad- Tempest led his new wife to his pod of the T-ship and settled her in. "How are you, Mrs. Garth Shayeris?"

"I'm perfect, Mr. Garth Shayeris." Terra beamed back.

"Ready for our next adventure?"

"With you; forever."
