&quot;You know what else is an option? Slapping you!&quot;

"Raph," She looked in on him from the door way. "You need to see this. Spike fell asleep watching the eggs."

Raph looked up. “Really?” He stood.

"No problem." He smiled and held her.

She cooed softly then looked back at where Spike was. “I should get him back to the ghost station and put him to bed.”

"If that’s what you wanna do." He smiled.

"Can you get him for me?" She asked him. "I don’t trust my hooves enough to go near the eggs…"

Raph nodded and picked up Spike.

Story took their son in one arm, wrapping the blanket around him so he wouldn’t get cold on the way home. “I’ll see you tomarrow Raph.”

"Be safe Story."

"L-Leo!? Leo! The eggs are cracking!" He panicked.

“Wh-What!?” Leo yelp, throwing his book down and running toward Raph.

Raph looked at his brother, helplessly.

"Are they all cracking?"

"Just the seven that are supposed to." Raph told him.

Leo grabbed Raph’s hand and rushed to where the eggs were.

The smallest egg had hatched first, the little baby girl sat in her egg shell, chirping loudly.

Leo rushed in, kneeling beside the new born.

The tiny turtle clicked and chirped whining softly. Raph churred softly and knelt next to Leo.

A small smile crawled across his face.

The tiny turtle looked at her fathers and chirped softly.

"Raph," She looked in on him from the door way. "You need to see this. Spike fell asleep watching the eggs."

Raph looked up. “Really?” He stood.

"No problem." He smiled and held her.

She cooed softly then looked back at where Spike was. “I should get him back to the ghost station and put him to bed.”

"If that’s what you wanna do." He smiled.

Raph nodded and picked up Spike.

"Raph," She looked in on him from the door way. "You need to see this. Spike fell asleep watching the eggs."

Raph looked up. “Really?” He stood.

"No problem." He smiled and held her.

She cooed softly then looked back at where Spike was. “I should get him back to the ghost station and put him to bed.”

"If that's what you wanna do." He smiled.

"Raph," She looked in on him from the door way. "You need to see this. Spike fell asleep watching the eggs."

Raph looked up. “Really?” He stood.

"Yeah," She wrapped the blanket around her a bit tighter but looked behind her at where he little dragon had curled into a ball. "He refused to leave the smallest one’s side."

Raph gave a sad smile. “The smallest one… is a girl… she might not live more than six months.”

"I told you before…" She smiled back at him, looking a bit tired but trying her best to give him hope. "Don’t count any of them out. They’re your kids after all, they’ll be stubborn."

He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. “You should sleep. You look exhausted.”

"I know…" She smiled as she leaned against him. "I just can’t seem to sleep right now."

"I wonder why. You aren’t sick are you?"

She sighed and nodded. “It’s nothing… Just a little stomach bug.”

He looked at her. “You sure?” He raised an eyebrow. “Leo said the same thing and he turned out to be pregnant.”

"I knew you were gonna say something like that." Story looked up at him calmly. "Raph, lets not jump to any conclusions. Okay?"

"I’m not, but I’m just saying. It’s possible and you know it as well as I do."

Her mask of calm vanished and she let her own worry show as she stared at the ground. “All too well….”

He kissed her muzzle softly. “If you are pregnant I’m here for you. Even if you aren’t, I’m still here for you.”

She smiled and nuzzled him. “Thank you Raphael.”

"No problem." He smiled and held her.

"L-Leo!? Leo! The eggs are cracking!" He panicked.

“Wh-What!?” Leo yelp, throwing his book down and running toward Raph.

Raph kissed Leo. "One of the eggs was cracking earlier. I didn't know what to do."

"It was?!" Leo asked, his eyes lighting.
