Don's cell started going off next to his bed. He blindly reached for it and answered.
"Hello?" He asked drowsily.
"Don? Ok now don't freak out but Casey and I are headed to the hospital; I think it's time." April said calmly over the phone.
"Time? Time for what?" Don asked, yawning.
"The baby Donnie. I'm having the baby." April said.
Don's eyes popped open and he jumped out of bed.
"WHAT?! Ok April breath in and out like we practiced. Oh man! I'm on my way to meet you there!" Don said heading down stairs.
April laughed.
" Don your just as bad as Casey- And he's the Father! I'll be alright, you don't have to come down, I'm in good hands." She said reassuring him.
"Ok, but as soon as we can, all of us are gonna come visit you." Don said.
"Ok see you then!" April said quickly, then hung up.
Don closed the phone and sighed.
"GUYS WAKE UP! APRIL IS HAVING THE BABY!" Don yelled.
Four forms came sprinting out of their rooms.
" My son what is the matter?! Splinter asked in panic.
" Yeah Donnie what's with all the racket?" Mikey demanded.
"It's April, she's having the baby." Don said; more calmly this time.
The others started grinning.
"Dudes, it looks like we're gonna be uncles!" Mikey exclaimed.
Leo smiled.
" Yeah I guess we are." He said.
5 days later…
" Hey guys, April just called and said they're home with the baby and we can come and see her if we want." Don said coming into the living room.
"Alright, well lets go meet this niece of ours." Raph said, cracking his knuckles.
The turtles and Master Splinter quickly made their way to April and Casey's apartment.
" Hey, Hey! Uncle Mikey's here, and he wants to see his little niece!" Mikey exclaimed coming through the window.
Raph, who had come in behind him, whacked him upside the head.
" Hey, sup guys? April they're here!" Casey yelled to the back.
" I heard." April said, walking into the living room with the baby in her arms.
The turtles crowded around her trying to get a look.
"Now wait a minute, don't crowd. We'll do this in an orderly fashion so everyone will get to hold her. Master Splinter will hold her first, then it will go from oldest to youngest." April said, pointing to the couch.
The turtles hung their heads but did as they were told. April sat down and handed the baby off to Master Splinter. He beamed with pride, as he looked at the sleeping baby in his arms.
" She's beautiful April, she looks just like you." He said.
"Yeah 'cept she's got Casey's black hair. Hopefully that won't make her a bonehead too." Raph said jokingly.
Casey punched him in the shoulder, while everyone else just rolled their eyes.
Master Splinter handed the baby off to Leonardo. Leo cradled her gently in his brawny arms. The baby moved in her sleep, and managed to snag one of his bandanna tails in her little hand. Immediately she went to sucking on it. Leo watched her for a moment before taking the tail out of her mouth.
"You won't get anything out of there little one." he said softly as he handed her to Raph.
In the process the baby got jostled a little too much and awoke. She took one look at Raph's face and burst into tears!
" Shh, Shh, don't cry, it's ok." Raph said panicking.
" Here let me try." Don said reaching for the baby.
Reluctantly, Raph handed her over to Don. As he held the screaming baby in his arms, he brought her closer to his chest and whispered soothing words to her. Finally she stopped crying and looked up at him, her green eyes still glossy with tears. Don smiled.
"There we go, all better." He said softly.
" So April what's her name?" Mikey asked curiously.
"Her name is Lexi; Lexi Shelley Jones." April replied smiling.
"Well its nice to meet you Lexi." Don said smiling as he gave her to Mikey.
" Hey there Lex! Who's a pretty baby? You are! I'm your uncle Mikey and as you get bigger I'm gonna teach you all about video games, comic books, and tell you all about our adventures; including how I became Battle Nexus Champion!" He exclaimed.
Three different hands came out and slapped him in the back of the head. Mikey grimaced, and for a moment it looked like the baby almost cracked her first smile. Almost.
" Aw c'mon! She even likes Mikey! That's not right!" Raph complained crossing his arms.
" She'll grow into you Raph." April reassured him, smirking.
"You make me sound like a piece of clothing." Raph grumbled.
" Ok, Well I think she's had enough excitement for today." April said taking her from Mikey.
" Awwwww! But I haven't even introduced her to the Turtle Titan!" Mikey complained.
"Say goodnight Lexi." April said smirking as she took the baby back to her crib.
While she was gone the guys ordered pizza to celebrate. While they waited they talked and laughed especially, about the new baby. Finally the pizza arrived and everybody dug in. Suddenly Mikey raised his slice of pizza.
"To Lexi! Welcome to the family!" he exclaimed.
"To Lexi!" Everyone cheered.
