*All Hallows Eve*

It was late morning in Titan's Tower and rain showers were passing through Jump City. Bumblebee had decided to come over early to help Starfire and Robin set up for their Halloween party. Starfire had demanded to all the titans in advance that they had to dress up for the occasion. Cyborg was knocked out cold on the couch and snoring loudly with Beast boy lazily watching the TV. Hazel had politely requested to watch Rugrats to which the two men had agreed to. Raven lounged on the end of the couch, sipping on her tea and trying to get into her new book.

Starfire soon hovered over her in the air blocking out Raven's light, "What is it, Star?" Raven looked up from her book.

"Ivy has done the wetting of the bed and is crying for you." Starfire announced before flying off to help Bee with the streamers.

"Is it my turn or yours to wash the sheets?" Beast boy asked, sitting up on the couch. His green hair stuck out in different directions and it didn't look like he got much sleep either.

Raven closed her book and set her mug on the coffee table, "Yours but I'll get it."

"You sure?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

Raven nodded, making her way out of the Ops room, "Yeah, go ahead and lie back down."

This was third bedwetting in the past eight days from Ivy. Unluckily, for Ivy she had caught the flu and she had it bad. She couldn't eat without throwing it up soon after. She would sleep for more than ten hours at a time and her fever wouldn't break. It was even worse that she refused any of her medicine. Most of the cleanup dealt with her wetting herself and the vomit that didn't make it to the toilet or trash can. Since then, Beast boy and Raven had been tag teaming all the incidents so at least one of them could rest.

Raven found the girl standing in her room with wet clothes, "Let's get you a quick bath." Raven shuffled through the gold bags of clothes that still remained in the corner of the room and pulled out a clean outfit. She guided Ivy to the bathroom and stripped the soiled clothes off of her and turned on the tub faucet to warm.

"Are you mad?" Ivy asked after climbing into the tub with help.

Raven shook her head before pouring out some soap on a red wash cloth. It went by quickly and thankfully Raven wasn't splashed like she would have been in it was Hazel. Ivy's strength had really deteriorated, only giving her spurts of energy here and there. By the time Raven was done washing her, Ivy's head was resting on the cold edge of the tub, her green eyes closed.

Raven reached over to pull the plug, letting the warm water wash down the drain. "Stand up for me." She lifted the girl out of the tub and patted her dry with the towel.

"I'm hungry and my tummy hurts." Raven had finished zipping up the pink and yellow onesie on her. Raven bent down to pick her up, turning the light off in the bathroom.

"Does your stomach feel funny?" She asked, not knowing how to word the feeling of queasiness to a child.

Ivy rested her head on Raven's shoulder and didn't reply. Raven stopped by Beast boy's room to collect a purple and white blanket off the end of his bed. Once Ivy was settled on the U shaped couch, Beast boy caught her hand to stop Raven from leaving.

"Do you want help?" He asked, without sitting up this time.

Raven lightly squeezed his hand, "Can you get her some crackers and water and if she can keep it down can you get her take Tylenol?"

Beast boy shot up from the couch, "Of course you give me the hard job." He didn't complain any further as he shuffled into the kitchen.

Raven stripped the soiled covers and pillow cases off of her bed. Ivy had taken up residence in her room for the time being so she wouldn't get Hazel sick. It was a good thing that Robin demanded them to get flu shots from Cyborg a month prior; small kids were germ carriers. Bunching up the sheets she made her way down the hallway to begin the laundry and put new covers on her bed.
