Disclaimed: TMNT, not in any way is it mime.

Summary: Michelangelo is now 30 years old, his family and allies have either been killed or moved on with their lives. But, when four new lives enter his life, he will have a meaning worth living for, once again.

My head, is crazy at the moment I've got to many ideas for my own good and I'm pretty much going, duck, duck, goose, just so I don't leave them unfinished. Enough of me talking, here's my new story, hope you like.


Michelangelo let's out another aggravation sigh, he still couldn't believe it he was alone all completely alone. The lair just wasn't the same anymore without out his family, Leo was the first one to go, after Master Splinter, as he gave his life to save his brothers, Raph soon followed after that, the hot head had saved Donnie from a following building and Donnie had died protecting him.

April had moved on with her life, most of his allies were killed or taken, never to be seen again, Karai went missing and was soon found dead. Casey had made to much trouble going around New York making quite a few people upset with him and soon was killed.

Now it was just him, no family and no friends, sure he could still go see April, but she was often busy now with a full time job and often didn't come around anyway.

His eyes narrowed and blink in disbelief, in the first time for years there was sound, sound made by somebody else, that wasn't his footsteps walking around an empty lair. He stays to listen to the sound just for a bit more, denial about the whole situation.

"Crying, why do I hear crying?"

He stands up from his bed and opens up the door before walking out of his room he follows the sound and walks into the sewers.

"A child?"

He knees down towards a small bundle carefully unwarping the small blue blanket around the fragile form and the child blue teary eyes looking straight up at the older turtle. Black hair and small patches of dirt coving the child blue jumpsuit … he was no, more older than a year old.

"I do not understand," Mikey said as he gently picks up the toddler.

The child giggles at him, waving his tiny hands, he did not seem afraid, Mikey places his finger above the toddler noise; the child grabs hold and giggles. Soon the boy hands take Mikey's and rests the side of his head, yawing before sleeping.

"Why would someone leave you out here?"

"Ow," he yells as he feels something tugging on the end of his mask.

"What the?"

His hand goes behind his head and he picks up another child, black hair and red jumpsuit, Mikey winches in pain as the child pokes him in the eye. His eyes drifted to the first one, eyes beaming up with joy and hands moving towards the second one.

"Are you brothers?"

He quickly holds to the two at the sight of a third walking away, brown hair and a purple jumpsuit, he rushes over and catches it before the child falls into the ditch.

"Okay, what the shell is going on?"

The purple and blue are waving their tiny hands smiling and eyes beaming up with joy, the one in red struggles to remove himself, but Mikey strong grip isn't letting him go. His eyes narrowed a fourth one, but unlike the others it was a girl, black hair and a black jumpsuit, she looks at him with a smile and he picks her up.

"You've got to be kidding me. I can't look after kids, where are the humans who left them?"

As his eyes scan the area for anyone still walking around, he didn't see the children hurt eyes, but soon was caught to the sound of small whimpers.

"What's wrong, are you cold, hungry?"

Crying…

"I'm too old for this," he sighs, before noticing red, purple and black blankets on the ground. He picks them up as he walks back to the lair.


He places then gently on the bed, the three had fallen asleep on the way here and now four human babies sleeping peacefully in a bundle, Mikey frowns as he sits himself on the edge of the bed.

What was he going to do now?

He can't just leave them on someone door step, they had already proven that to be a difficult task and he can't look after them. He didn't have the money, sure April would come every so often to just drop some of her pay check she had earned from work, but he didn't want to trouble her. Not after everything she had done for him and his family, his eyes drifted to the old T-pone sitting on his bookshelf.

It hadn't been used since Donnie was around and now broken of old age, even if he did just call her, like he used to be able to, he no longer knew where she lived. His eyes moved down as he felt a sudden poke in his leg, the toddle in purple lifts his tiny arms up suggestion to be picked up.

But, Mikey is in no mood and his eyes soon drift towards the wall, he sighs at the sound of wimping. Picking the boy up by his collars, Mikey dull eyes meets the child, the kid giggles with joy and Mikey rolls his eyes. He knows he isn't fit to be a parent, he had lost all meaning to his life once his brothers died and now, he didn't know why he even bothering to hang on any more.

"You should be scared of me, kid," he said, in a firm voice.

"I'm a giant mutant turtle and my job is a ninja saving the city, from just your stander banker robbers. And, you're what, a freshly, meat bone human."

He places the child onto his head and the toddle giggles as he claps his hands together, before yawing and falling asleep.

Mikey sighs giving in, he didn't want to bother April, but she is the only one who can help him. He gently removes the toddler from his head and holds him in his arms, his eyes glaze over to an old box near his bed, as he walks over still holding the child in his arms, he checks to see if it stable.

Making judgement, he carries it over towards the bed, he gently places the toddler back down with his brothers and picks up the old blankets that came with them and placed them, into the box. As he carefully places each child inside, he picks up the one in purple last.

"I'm sorry child, but I'm not the turtle I used to be. But, I know someone who can help me look for a family, you four will be better of living in the world then a shelter one."

Gently placing the child in the purple jumpsuit between the red and the blue, he lifts up the box and closes the door behind him.


It was difficult to find, but he was sure it was her apartment, perking through some windows he observer some familiar objects and old T-phone sat on top of a self and so he waited, onto of the roof top, watching over three silent toddlers. At the sight of April walking towards her apartment, he climbs down the fire escape, trying his best not to wake the four and waits out the window.

She walks in and notices, she smiles, but he doesn't smile back, April sighs before walking up towards the window and opening it and he walks in.

"Hey April," he said, placing the box gently down on the floor.

"I'm not going to hug first," her voice is firm and arms crossed.

"Fine by me," he said, looking around the room.

In the end April gives up and takes him into a hug and he returns it.

"Mikey, where an earth, were you?" she asked. "Every time I go to the lair, you're never home," she said breaking away from there hug.

"Someone needs to protect the city."

"Mikey, you and I both know, after the Shedder the city crime isn't like it used to be."

"Because I'm keeping it in check."

"I know, but I wish you well take it easy. What happens if you're hurt one day and I'm at work? You, don't have anyone to path you up anymore, not after-"

"Don't," Mikey waned her. "Don't bring him up don't bring any of them up."

April sighed, Mikey didn't want anything to do with his brother's after they had died, it was as if every time they were brought up in a conversation whatever was left of his heart would only break. April thoughts were soon cut of at the small sound coming from the box, she notice that Mikey went to bend down and she was shock at the sight, toddler in a black jumpsuit.

"Hey, it's okay," he said, as he slowly stands up. "I don't blame you for crying, stuck with three boys. That's got to be a pain," the child giggles. "My older sister was the same, she had all us to put up with."

Curiosity brought April closer towards the box, she leans and smiles at the sight, the one's in blue and purple were waving their arms at her, but she frowns when she notice the one in red was trying to escaped. Her hands were about to grab him, as he climbs to the top, but was scoped up into Mikey's, the girl in his arms cross her hands and the boy in red turns and frowns.

"There adorable, Mikey, but where did you find them?"

"Found them, in the sewers, they were all over the place."

"But, who would leave them out on their own."

"Don't know, April, but they did, they were all over the place. The kid in the blue, was the only one not wondering around. Mind if I let them out?"

"Go ahead Mikey."

He places the two down beside him and lifts up the other two placing them all in a group, he looms over them not daring to take his eyes away.

"As much as it really is nice seeing you, what are you doing here?"

"Could you find them somewhere to live? A safe place, I can't look after them."

"Why, because the city needs you?"

She didn't mean to come out and sound so hash, but she didn't want to one day walk into the lair and find him dying because of it.

"It's my job."

"It's not your job Mikey, I get it. You're carrying on the job that your brothers had left behind, but I'm sure they wouldn't want you, to turn out like this. They would want their little brother to be happy," all toddlers glace up at the two, the purple one clumsy tripping over his own hands.

"April, please," he begged. "Look at me."

"I am, looking at you, your old, your tired, you hardly smile."

"I've got nothing to smile about!"

April gasp and the children flinch at the sudden outburst.

"I walk home into an empty lair, I've got know family. All dead, how do you accepted me to smile, when I walk into my nightmare every night, the only different is, it's not a dream."

He stumbles towards the couch he didn't mean to lose his temper, but he couldn't keep it in anymore, he covers his eyes and the children walk towards him, all but the purple one.

"Mikey, I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry. I don't know how long I can be here, every day it's the same, I just want my big brothers back."

April sits herself next to him, her eyes glace towards the child in the purple jumpsuit and her eyes widen, and he starts to stand arms out and looking director at Mikey.

"Mikey," April nudged, "look."

Mikey wipes away the tears starting to show and surprised by the sight, instincts, he opens up his arms and the child walks towards him, he falls, but Mikey is there to catch him.

"Hey there little guy," he holds him and he rested his head closer to his heart. "That was pretty amazing, pretty amazing indeed."

The toddler giggles as Mikey holds him into his arms.

"Mikey, you do know. If I can find a family for them, they might be slipt up."

Mikey glances over to her, he didn't want the children to break apart as far as he was aware of, they were there only family each other had and he didn't want to be the reason to why they never knew each other.

"But, you can't look after them," he said, as he removed the toddler from his arms and placed him down with his sibling. "And, I can't."

"Maybe this is what you need, it will help you get your life back on track," April said, careful about her words.

"What about the city?"

"The city is just fine, no Kranng, no Shredder and the police can protect the people from bank robbers or street gangs, not to mention the Purple Dragons haven't been seen in a while."

"April."

"Please, just think about it. I worry too much about you Mikey; you haven't been the same in a very long time. And you know, just as well as I do, if your family can see you they, be heart broken."

April was expecting him to snap, she knew that whenever the others were brought up, Mikey just never seem to be able to handle it.

"Da-da, daddy."

Both eyes widen and glaze down to the floor at the words the girl in the group had spoken. Her arms, wide open, eyes beaming up with joy and smelling, Mikey picks up the child in the black jumpsuit and holds her near his face.

"Daddy," she said again, gigging, Mikey and her forehead meet and in return her tiny arms warp around his face.

"And besides, I think they've found the perfect father," April giggles.


Okay, so I know there are a lot of reincarnation fic's out there, but I had to add one to the collection.

How would Mikey handle of being a father to four? Is he even up to the task?
