After overcoming their greatest foe from trying to destroy the Hamato family, the Turtles and their sensei, Master Splinter, were finally able to rest easy from their battle once more along with their growing offspring. Two to almost three years came to pass and Donatello was already expecting another child after having twins time ago. It was near the end of October and the whole family decided to take a little vacation back up to the farmhouse so the genius of the group can give birth there.

Everyone was happy that things were the way they should now with a new little member of the family along the way... However, there was something else that had been getting the attention of the secondary couple, Raphael and Michelangelo for quite some time seeing that their brothers' family was growing more than they ever expected.

The whole family was getting ready to pack to go upstate back to April's family's farmhouse as Leonardo and Raphael were loading up the party wagon until his son, Kotaro came in running towards him with a small backpack on his shell and yelled, "Daddy! I weady!"

The leader in blue turned and looked down to his little son while carrying a few bags dangling from his arms and one in his hand. "Aww, you sure are, Kota!" He smiled happily to him. "You have everything you wanted to bring with you?"

"Uh-huh!" the turtle tot nodded happily to assure his Dad that he had what he needed, opened his little backpack and started taking out the little things that were inside. "Cap'n Wyan toy! Bwanky! Teddy! More toys!"

"You're Cap'n Ryan action figure?" Leo knew obviously he was a big fan of Space Heroes more than Kota was who was heavily influenced by him. "That's great, son! Daddy and your Uncle Raph are almost done packing up the party wagon so we can get going for your Mommy to have yours and Amy's new brother or sister."

"Yay!" Little Kota cheered.

Raph had then rolled his eyes next to Leo and said, "What'd you do to the poor kid?"

"Huh? What do you mean, Raph?" he asked curiously.

"You already poisoned his mind thinking that guy's a hero."

The eldest turtle after hearing his second oldest brother's remark smirked to him and said, "Says the turtle who thought Crognard was able to defeat that dragon even though you did miss it. I still can't believe that happened though."

"Yeah thanks for that, dear brothers." The turtle in red responded hastily, "Watching the finale without me of a show I was in to. And he could totally do it!"

"Just why would they do away with him and end the show right there? It made no absolute sense." Leo said as he put the bags into the trunk of the party wagon.

"How am I supposed to know?! I didn't see anything of it!" Suddenly, his little daughter Rosie came running to him and tackled his leg with her little force. "Ow!" He looked down and saw her smiling widely at him.

"Daddy! My baggie!" She handed him a bag twice the size of Kota's and ran off. "Gettin' other bag!"

"Seriously why do girls need so many bags?!" Raph asked.

Leo laughed and responded, "Aw, you know. Little girls like to carry a little extra to keep them occupied. Amy mostly likes reading and coloring, but I'm sure she won't take much."

"Daddy! Daddy!" But then, Amedea suddenly emerged where Leo, Raph, and Kota were and brought out two big bags that were much bigger than Rosie's. She was having little trouble carrying them as she pulled one of them and pushed the other bag. "I have baggies! I pack myself!"

Shocked as he saw her struggling with the bags, Leo's jaw literally dropped with his eyes beady and white while his brother laughed at him, slapping his shell. "Yeah, she won't take that much."

After that 'shellshock' Leo rubbed his shell and went over to Amedea to help with her bags with a slight smile. "Let me take those for you, sweetie."

"Thank you, Daddy!" Amy smiled brightly.

As the sword wielder helped with his daughter's bags, Kota looked around the lair for a bit with a confused look. He got closer to Leo and tugged slightly on his leg straps saying, "Daddy, where Mommy?"

Once he placed the bags in the party wagon he heard his question and looked down to Kota. "Oh? He's probably with your Uncle Mikey getting everything ready. They should be in the kitchen packing up food for the road."

Leo was right, the other two turtles were in the kitchen packing up a few snacks for the road: sandwiches, juices, small bags of cookies and more. Donnie was wrapping up the last sandwiches calmly and turned to the small cooler they had.

"Ohh, it's running out of space for the last ones, Mikey is there anything else we can use? The cooler's full."

"No, problem, D! I think we can put the rest in with Ice Cream Kitty! She'll keep them extra cool!" Mikey then turned to their frozen dessert cat who was sitting in the last cooler they had. "Right, Kitty?" Ice Cream Kitty mewed and flailed her arms out, smiling.

The tallest turtle in purple chuckled at the cat's funny reaction and continued to pack, but decided to at least talk a bit. "So, looking up for the trip to the farmhouse again? Well, this time without the Kraang forcing us out." he chuckled.

"I'm actually excited myself!" the orange clad turtle replied to his expecting brother. "Maybe we can get in touch with the Punk Frogs and see what they've been doing! It'd be so cool to see how Napoleon is leading the tribe after he became in charge!"

"It would! It'd also be nice for the kids to see nature properly and let them run around in raw daylight without having to hide or anything."

"True that, bro! Little Rosie will be all over when we get there and let her craziness out! Just as long she doesn't make the chickens get angry, hehe." A sweat drop formed on the young turtle's head.

"Also check on them so they don't wonder off." Donnie looked away and then turned to his stomach. "And to finally get this baby out of me."

"Just a few more months. Are you excited for your kids to have a new addition?"

"More like one month to go. I really am, I just can't wait to see them get along with their new sibling!"

Mikey was putting the rest of the food in next to Ice Cream Kitty and pet her head as he replied, "And Rosie will be happy too, to have another cousin around."

"Yes she would." He smiled, "Also, just curious here, are you planning on having another with Raph?"

Eventually once Donnie had told him that, Mikey stood there quiet for a moment before he could answer him. "I... I'm not too sure about it. We were thinking, but... we're honestly not sure yet."

"Just asking. Maybe Rosie would like having a brother or sister."

"Yeah... Maybe..." Mikey then paused as he thought about it and remembered a day that occurred between both him and Raph and later pushed that memory aside.

After the said question, Donnie couldn't help but notice that Mikey's attitude changed a bit. "Hey... You alright?"

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, I'm alright!" he forced a smile on him so Donnie wouldn't wonder. "Say, why don't you check on what Leo's doing and ask if he's all set while I finish."

"You're right. Finished making the sandwiches anyway, be back in a bit to help put them in the party wagon." Donatello then waddled his way out of the kitchen carefully as he carried the cooler out.

After he left, the nunchucku wielder let out a heavy sigh and leaned forward against the counter where Ice Cream Kitty was in the cooler and looked to her with his arms crossed and his head laying on it.

"What am I gonna do? I am happy that Donnie and Leo are having another baby. I know our little Rosie's been curious in wanting a little sibling of her own, but it's been hard for Raph and me to have another right now. Well, maybe some time in the country, things will change and hopefully something will happen. But you understand what I'm saying, right?"

Ice Cream Kitty mewed and smiled to let him know she agreed with him. Mikey giggled at her response and then said, "Come on, let's get you packed in so we're ready to hit the road."

Meanwhile, Raph had finished putting on the heavy bags on the top of the party wagon and sighed. "Finally..." He wiped his forehead and checked around if there was anything else that needed to be packed. Once he made sure he smirked and shouted out, "Guys! Everything's all good, let's get outta here!"

Leo already had Amedea in one arm as he held Kota's hand when they too were ready to go. Splinter made his appearance as he held his walking stick and he awaited for the others to arrive. Donnie came with the cooler and an extra bag for the trip, but Rosie quickly out ran him while laughing almost making him trip.

"Careful, Rosie!" Mikey witnessed and warned her while carrying the cooler with Ice Cream Kitty in it. "Don't make your Uncle Donnie fall!" He then lend Donnie a hand and helped him keep his balance.

"Thanks, Mikey."

"Sowwy Mommy." Rosabella said until she then made it to the van and got in before Kota could.

"Hey!" Kota cried.

"Me first!" She blew him a raspberry with a triumphant look.

"No!" Amy then cried out. "I want first!"

The tempered turtle sighed when he saw the three little tots making a fuss over who gets on first and decided to butt in, "Alright, alright break it up. It doesn't matter who gets in first we're all going to share the same spot anyways."

"Come on, kids, in you go." Leo went to sit in as Amy sat in on Leo's lap with Kota sitting by him until Donnie got in as well and placed Kota on his lap. Master Splinter sat in the front passenger seat as Mikey went to put the last cooler in the back and got in with the other turtles sitting and with Rosie on his lap.

"We all good? Not missing anything?" Raph asked as he too sat in the driver's seat. Once everyone shook their heads he smirked. "Then let's go for Casey and April and we're out of here!"

He started the van and soon enough, they made their way out of the lair and up to the streets of the city. After a small drive they made it to a certain building of apartments and honked the horn to let their friends know they're here.

Casey Jones luckily happened to have been with April at her apartment as he popped his head out the window and saw the guys waiting for them. "Hey, Red! The guys are here!"

"Oh great!" She quickly got her bags and called out to her father, Kirby. "Dad! We're off, see you in a few weeks!"

"Have a safe trip all of you, and tell Donatello and Leonardo I say congratulations." He said to them.

"We will, come on Casey!"

"Whoohoo! Road trip!"

The two teens then came down and made it to the party wagon where the mutant family waited for them. Once inside, the tots felt their happiness rise at the sight of them. Kota got off Donnie's lap and ran to Casey and April shouting, "Uncle Casey! Auntie Apwil!"

"Hey, squirt!" Casey said to him.

"It looks like Kotaro is really happy to see you both." Splinter spoke.

"Aww, yes he is Master Splinter and hi to you all too!" April replied.

Just as everyone greeted them Rosie jumped off Mikey's lap also, "Uncle Casey n' Auntie Apwil!" she tackled them happily.

"And so is Rosie!" Mikey chuckled.

Amy too suddenly got off Leo and does the same. "Unckie Casey! Auntie Apwil!"

"Awww, all you little sweeties it's good to see you again too!" She carried and twins with Casey carrying Rosie.

Donnie giggled at what was happening but then said to them, "Kids, we know you're happy to see them but give them some space and let them sit down."

"Sowwy, Mommy." Amy apologized while in April's arms.

"It's no problem, Don." The vigilante teen added, "Its good seeing them again after a while. And it's good to see these little munchkins happy."

"We'll have time for that once we get to the farmhouse, in the meantime we gotta get a move on." said Raph.

"Sounds like a plan." Then April carefully stepped in and shut the door of the wagon and got a place next to Casey who held onto Rosie a little longer while she squealed and giggled.

"Everyone, settled in?" their master asked.

"I think we are, sensei. All seems good." Donnie smiled.

Raph nodded but turned to Leo and winked at him, remembering a little stop they had to do before anything else happened. Leo winked back to him as he turned to Donnie and placed a hand to his. The intellectual turtle felt his mate's hand on his and turned to him with a smile.

Mikey looked over to Rosie while she giggled and later decided to make funny faces to get her to laugh more just to see his little girl smile.

The sai wielding turtle had already been driving and took a glance through the rear-view mirror, he spotted Mikey making a few faces to make their daughter laugh. He gave a small smile but then he remembered what had been bothering him and his little love for some months. It saddened him but it still didn't make him give up hope.

"How you holding up, Donnie?" Leo said to him until he looked to his enlarged stomach.

"Good so far, just baby's moving a lot." Donnie placed a hand on his bloated stomach and caressed it gently.

The blue clad smiled to him as he placed his hand on his belly. "Anxious to get out little one?" He chuckled.

He felt a little movement under his palm from the little baby turtle inside, making Donnie look down and smile warmly at it and then at Leo. "Just a few weeks away from being here."

"And the kids should be excited. Another little Hamato."

Donnie smiled at him more and kissed his cheek happily as Mikey laughed with Rosie tickling her while she was still in Casey's arms. As Rosie giggled causing the others to sort of chuckle, Donnie looked outside and gave a questioned look. He spotted the familiar building but wondered why they were here.

"Hm? The Mutanimals lair? Why are we here?"

"Oh, just thought we could stop by to say a quick "hello" before we head upstate." Leo responded. "Leatherhead's been wanting to see the kids again."

"Oh? Hmm, well it seems ok, we're in no rush really."

Later, Raph parked the wagon at the entrance to the lair, once he made sure people weren't close by he signaled the others it was clear to get out. Once Kotaro made his way out, he looked around and suddenly spotted a human a few blocks away, he was about to walk to them but Donnie panicked and quickly got him.

"Sweetie no! You can't see those humans, they're not like Uncle Casey and Auntie April they'll get scared if they see you."

With a confused looked, he didn't know why he'd think the other humans would be scared, but instead he did as he was told and replied, "Ok, Mommy."

"Stay close Rosie. It's dangerous around here if someone will spots us." Mikey warned her as she held on to his leg and nodded.

"Yes, Mommy."

"So uh, what are we doing here anyhow?" Casey wondered.

"I dunno, they said they just wanted to pass by and say "hi" to the others." Donnie answered.

"It's just for a little." Leo said, "Besides, we won't see them after a while once the baby's born."

"True." The turtle in purple saw as Leo got close to their entrance and knocked.

Soon there was a sound coming from inside as the gates opened and out came Slash, Raph's once pet turtle, Spike before he mutated to who he was today. "Greetings, friends! It's been a while! How are the little ones?" the giant turtle spoke to them.

Before he could answer anything, Raph's daughter quickly passed by him and made it to the other mutant turtle. "UNCLE SWASHIE!"

"Hey there, Rosie!" Slash then picked her up and placed her on his broad shoulder. "How's my little niece been? You've been good to your Daddy and Mommy?"

"Yeah! She's been good. A little wild, I'd say." Mikey said adding that last part.

"Well, she does share your likeness, Mikey, I'll tell you that." The brute turtle chuckled.

"Wove uncles!" Rosie kissed his cheek and cuddled to him.

And just as Kota saw Slash, he gasped silently and hid behind Donnie's leg, terrified and shocked at his large uncle.

"Unckie Swash!" Amy too wanted him to pick her up as she reached her arms up to him until she got his attention.

"Ah, Amedea!" He looked to her and pick her up while he had Rosie on him. "And how've you've been? Are you and your brother excited about the new baby?"

"They sure are from what we can tell," Don chuckled and looked down at Kota hiding behind him. "Aren't you gonna say "hi", sweetie?"

However, Kota roughly shook his head and hid his face. Slash chuckled and said, "Well, maybe little Kota will be more acquainted if we head inside. The others are waiting to see you all."

"Wait, you knew we were coming?" Donnie asked.

"Raph here gave us a heads up that you were coming so we "spruced" up the place quickly before you got here." Then he winked to Raph as he winked back in return and got next to Mikey.

"Come on, let's go with the others." the red turtle said to him.

"Uh... Ok." he replied awkwardly going with Raph as the others followed and entered into their lair.

The expecting turtle had looked around the lair, but then something caught his eye, he started spotting little decorations here and there. Small but big enough to see. He tilted his head and started hearing some whispering as well. And just as everyone came in, Slash called out for the others and soon the lights flicked on as they all yelled...

"Surprise!"

"DAHH!" It got him by surprise but once he calmed down and took a good look at his surroundings with all the decorations, he cupped his hands over his mouth. They prepared him a surprise baby shower with both balloons of "It's a boy" and "It's a girl" and many blue and pink decorations around. "Is this... for me?" He felt his eyes tear up.

"Raph and I thought of this idea a while back. You surprised?" Leo said.

Donnie turned to Leo and smiled more, "You're all the best you know that?"

"Anything for my sweetheart." He smiled and kissed his cheek as Donnie giggled and returned the kiss.

"Well my friends, I think we have a celebration to begin!" Rockwell who was once human but now a monkey said to everyone.

"Let's get partying!" Pigeon Pete exclaimed.

"I'll go fetch the refreshments." Slash insisted.

Once the whole party started after a while with some laughs and a few activities happening to bring more joy to the shower, Leatherhead found his little friend Mikey sitting on back and decided to go say hi to his fellow turtle comrade after not seeing him for a little while, "Hello Michelangelo."

"Hey, dude!" Mikey noticed him as he looked to him. "It's been a few months since we last saw you. How you've been?"

"I have been fine thankfully. And how have you been, my friend?"

"Aside from the new baby, I've been good. Nothing else is really new besides raising the little one."

"That is good to know. We are excited for their new child on the way."

"Yeah. Their family is growing quickly with two kids to attend."

"And what about you and Raphael?"

"Oh, we're very happy for them. It couldn't have been better." he smiled softly to Leatherhead.

The giant alligator later noticed the way he was talking about the subject, it sounded a little off for some reason and cleared his throat a bit. "I'm sorry but am I making you feel uncomfortable with this subject?"

"What? No, not at all, dude." Mikey assured him. "I'm perfectly fine with it. I'm happy for Leo and Don expecting their third kid."

"I am not referring completely to them, but mostly to you. You seem to be off about it."

"It's... nothing really." Mikey turned his head down.

Leatherhead had then placed a hand on his shoulder and scooted closer. "My friend, I can trust you with anything, so I beg you to have the same trust in me."

Soon the youngest turtle looked back up to him and gave out a sigh before he spoke. "Well... It's something that's been troubling both me and Raph. And it happened not too long ago, about two weeks."

"Are you two alright?" The mutant gator asked curiously.

"Yeah, we're cool. It's just... We were planning in having another baby at one point. But..."

"But...?" He felt himself grow a little uneasy.

"...We just couldn't conceive."

Once he made that answer clear, a frown formed on his friend's jaw after hearing what he said. "Ohh... But I'm sure you will get the chance to carry another child soon, all you need is time."

"We even tried months before and still... nothing."

Leatherhead really didn't know what to say about that. He's never been in a situation like this one, but he tried his best to console his friend. "I may not know much about what is going on, but all I can say that maybe your time is not now. Maybe you will in the future, all you have to do is wait."

Mikey had then looked back up to him with sad eyes and nodded slightly to him. "Hopefully there's a chance and we can make a bigger family for Raph and I. And mostly Rosie."

"You will, Michelangelo. Do not lose hope."

Before the chat could continue, Don made his way over to them and brought two slices of cake with a happy look not aware of the previous talk between the two mutant reptiles. "Hey guys, I brought you some cake!"

The big blue-eyed turtle smiled to him as he took a slice of cake. "Thanks, dude. It looks good."

"It is, already had a few slices myself." Donnie giggled.

"Haha, for the little one for sure!"

Donnie laughed replying, "You're right, baby's so demanding for sweets!"

"Has a bit of a sweet tooth! Just wait 'til this baby tries out my delicacies!"

"Oh believe me, it's had me eating a whole lot of your delicacies for a lot of months." The pregnant turtle chuckled and rubbed his belly. "You better make sure you don't make me gain a lot of weight after all this, honey."

Mikey started to laugh as he began to take a bite out of the cake. "Mmm... This is good!"

"Told ya. Well I'm gonna continue helping out in handing out more cake." He smiled and went back with Leo and the rest.

"This cake is just too good. I wonder how you guys were able to get these. You guys made it yourselves?"

Leatherhead chuckled and replied, "No, we asked Kurtzman to get it for us also some balloons and gifts. The only things that were made by us were the decorations."

"You guys did excellent job. Donnie is really happy!"

"It's the least we could for our friends."

"We'd definitely do the same for you when we throw a party. I make the best ice cream cakes." Mikey smiled brightly.

"From what I have heard yes." The scaly mutant smiled to him.

After a while in the celebration, Leo and Don were already opening the gifts from the other Mutanimals excitedly. Amedea had been excited seeing all the new gifts they had gotten for the new baby and they even received a gift from their master giving them a small blanket he had made himself for the newborn. Kotaro was watching how his parents were opening each gift, he had been behind Leo and Don the whole time fearing to be alone with the Mutanimals.

"Ohh, all these gifts are so beautiful, thank you all." Donatello said.

"Yes, we can't thank you enough for all you've done." Leo thanked their friends.

"It's no problem. We look out for each other and do what's right." Slash said until he saw Kota had been cowering since they came in. "I see little Kota is still shy, hehe."

"Huh?" Donnie turned around and saw his son still hiding from them and sighed, "Kotaro, its ok there's no need to hide from the others. We're all friends."

But Kota remained silent and looked away until Amy looked to her brother and walked over to him saying, "Kota, it ok. Unckie Swash n' other unckies not scawy."

Kota looked to her and back at the Mutanimals and shook his head. "Mm-mm!"

"Ha-ha! You baby!" Rosie cried out to him when she walked over to her twin cousins.

This didn't appease to Amedea at all, insulting her brother the way she did and yelled back, "Wosie! You big meanie!"

But Rosie blew a raspberry at her. But before Amy would retaliate, Raphael overheard the commotion and made a stop to it before it got out of hand. "Rosie! Amy! C'mon not today and not now, it's a party get along."

"Nah, it's alright Raphie-boy." Slash said to his buddy, "If he's not ready then we'll give him some time."

"Yeah I know..." Raph went to pick up Rosie. "Just this little girl's a bit mean sometimes..."

"And she takes that trait up from her old dad." He reminded him and patted him roughly on the back with a chuckle.

Raph rubbed his shell and smirked at him, "Alright, alright, she's got a bit of me in her."

"So Leonardo and Donatello, do you know what you're having?" Rockwell asked them. "We didn't know what it was which is why we bought both balloons."

"We honestly don't know." Replied Leo, "But when that day arrives it will be a surprise to us."

"That sounds like a great idea. And once again congratulations to the both of you."

"Thank you, doctor." Donnie said with a smile.

"Thank you again for everything."

While they kept the conversation going, Amedea tugged on Leo's knee pads to have him pick her up as Leo looked down to her and put her on his lap. "When baby gonna be here?" She asked.

"Very soon once when we've gotten everything settled at the farmhouse, sweetie." He smiled to her.

"Wanna go now!" Kota cried still feeling scared of his uncles.

"We will honey. Just as soon as we finish the party we're all leaving." Donnie patted his head gently.

"Daddy?" Amy then said to Leo.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"No want Kota be scared no more."

"Oh, honey. Kota will grow out of it sooner or later. He just needs a little time to get use to things. It won't be forever and I'll guarantee after the baby is born, things will change."

Amy looked up to her father and then gave him a big smile and said, "Ok!"

Donnie looked over to his other two family members and smiled at Leo. "You're a good Dad, Leo. Also little Amy for looking after her brother."

Leo smiled to him as he's rubbing Amy's head as she's giggling. "Our little girl is growing up."

The bo wielder laughed a bit and hugged Leo closer with one arm having the other occupied with their son, and after that, they enjoyed the rest of their shower getting ready for their new arrival in less than a few weeks away.
