I do not own

Jade put her other pillow over her head to muffle the baby cries. It was most likely Haru and with his teeth coming in he was cranky. She heard some of them get up and help, she wouldn't be of any use with "no real experience in childcare". She grumbled as she got her iPod, and fell asleep listening to Frank Sinatra. When she woke up, she smelled breakfast cooking taking her headphones out she connected her iPod to its charger. She headed out and walked to the living room, where she saw Nathan eating toast, Boston and Asher eating and holding their daughters. Asia was clapping smiling at Frozen being on for the thousand time. Niva was ignoring the movie for once and concentrating on getting her spoon to her mouth.

"Hey Sis!" Boston and Asher said tired

"Hey." She said going into the kitchen

Her father was cooking though he was the first to say hello to her, she said hi. The kitchen was bigger and at the table close to her on the left side. Highchairs Haru and Aja, then Uncle Leonardo, then Uncle Donny working on something. A mug full of steaming coffee away from him so he wouldn't accidently hit it. On the other side was Uncle Raph next to her, reading the paper and eating eggs though some was on his cheek. Madison who had Vanessa on her lap, eating her own food.

"Morning kid." Raph said

"Morning sensei." She got a seat and sat down next to him and began making a plate. As she ate she could hear a scene replaying.

"Can you keep it down?" Leo yelled

They lowered it with a sorry, Jade as she ate could not help but look at her hand and her uncles that had a fork with some egg on it. The green scaly look, the different shades of green her blood family had. Yet her tanned skin had some leather like feel to it, only if she didn't lotion five times a day. God she hated Bishop more than them combines. She couldn't just be a green female mutant turtle, she had to be human. God she wish she could get revenge on the man, but she had enemies that were alive she had to fight.

Raph watched as his plate and food went cold, and he was feeling cold himself. He looked to Jade's juice was frozen, and food was frosted over. He looked at her, she wasn't even focusing on her surroundings.

"Jade?" He questioned

She snapped out of it, shoveled her food down putting her plate in the dishwasher. She went for her room, she would gather some stuff and then head out to wherever. Though Asia ran over to her "Frozen play?" She asked Niva was behind her nodding.

"You be Elsa." Niva said with a smile

Jade resisted rolling her eyes, she was always Elsa and if she had to sing Let it go, one more time even lip-syncing she would freeze all of New York over. She chuckled that would be interesting,

The girls took a step back at seeing their aunt's ice form over the stairs. Nathan walked to her "Cousin?" He asked worried.

Nathan looked at her concerned, he may not have been here long, but he's sure her doing this with a blank stare was bad. He recognized the look, he saw it in himself when he came out of it, when he as in the bathroom. He picked up the little kids and walked away from her, he felt safer that he was behind Boston and Asher.

"I'm going out." She said running to her room, she quickly got her tablet and purse. She jumped over the railing and headed out.

Nathan put down the babies "I'll go tell our dads." He said heading to the kitchen, he smiled a little he really enjoyed saying that. He wasn't held prisoner by Bishop, but still he's been tortured and prodded. He could understand how the walls could close in on you.

"Hey um uncle Mikey, Jade headed out." He said shy

Mikey who was eating nodding "Thanks, I'm sure she has her phone?" He said unconvinced

"Another hissy fit, goddamn." Madison said rolling her eyes, eating her egg whites.

"Madison." Raphael he said upset at her

"Sorry." She said getting up and tossing her plate and her daughters in the sink. She picked up her daughter "I'm going to do some meditation." She said heading out

Jade made it to April and Casey's new place, but with it being a Saturday morning she figured she should give them a break. She continued walking, doing some window shopping, she bought some stuff. It was mostly for herself, she wasn't being selfish she spent most of her money for her nieces and nephews. She really didn't want to inconvenience April and Casey since they had their own children and business's to worry about. Even though Madison demanded a Bratt Decor Parisian 3 round crib black. It cost originally nine hundred dollars but because of their uniqueness, it was more since it was specifically designed. She could not help but feel bad, Vanessa would be a spoiled rotten little girl. Possibly Madison would wonder why, if she got her own head out from the clouds.

She was eating some McDonalds, cheeseburger with small fries and vanilla milkshake. She was looking at her tablet, nothing interesting. She went to her email and looked at what Irma sent her for information on their next big mission. She once again ignored her phone, though got up she was babysitting for Casey and April until her brothers could come. Thankfully they weren't into Disney, they were into old school anime. So Yu Yu Hakusho, Ranma ½ with some Sailor Moon. She tossed her empty milkshake and headed out only to bump into someone.

She froze, he really came out of nowhere and he most likely felt her scale skin thanks to this windy weather. "Sorry." She said heart beating fast

"No, it's my fault truly." He looked at her

She looked at him wondering what was going on "Beautiful, it is fitting." He said smiling at her

She looked down to realize her necklace was out, she smiled thinking of Uncle Leo. She then looked to him "Thank you my uncle got it for me, you read and speak Japanese?" She asked surprised.

"Yes, I spent three years there and yourself?"

"I spent some time there." She said thinking of her grandfather's funeral and meeting the ancient one. "My father wanted me to know my roots."

"What did you think of it?" He asked truly intrigued

She thought about it, it was winter time, and on that island so high up. It was quite cold well to her cold blooded family. To her she felt wonderful, just wearing a fur hood, she made just like Cerise from Ever After High. She didn't need it, but she had to show off her amazing sewing skills.

"We went in the winter time I quite enjoyed Hatsumode with my extended family." She said with a smile

"It is beautiful, so which mean you got to go to Dezome-shiki?"

"Yeah, it was amazing with the dancers." She said "Everything was beautiful with freshly fallen snow when I woke up, how did you care for the winter?"

He frowned "Unfortunately Dezome-shiki was the only one I could experience. I was mostly there for spring and summer festivals, my job would then schedule me for meetings during winter and fall."

"That's unfortunate." She said he put a card out "I'm Jackson Dallas, call or text anytime. I would really love to talk to you more but I got to grab a bite to eat." He said then pointed outside "Then got to go back to work."

She took it "I understand, I'm Jade I'll text you soon." She left

She got on a rooftop and answered her phone "I'm babysitting April and Casey." She reminded before hanging up and jumping again.

Lair

Leonardo looked at his phone upset that she just cut him off. He looked to his brother Raph was watching some sporting event, while Vanessa was playing with some toy next to him. Madison was doing an exercise with Mikey, Boston and Asher.

He was really missing those days, he looked to the empty hall, if they kept expanding they would have to use it. He wished Master Splinter was alive to see their family grow and see his children, though his eyesight was the first to go. He would have to go by touch and the smell of them, he went to the baby room. Hopefully they would want to take a bath and make it easy for him. He could not help but have the small fear their mother would come back for whatever reason.
