This story will be full of the turtles and their children. I will write them off some of my own ideas, however, I would rather be writing from your ideas. You can request your stories by reviewing or PM-ing me. They can be of any genre. Hurt/Comfort; Romance; Family; Humor; Tradegy; Angst. You can even request the name, age or gender of the child. You can say if whether you'd like the turtle to have a wife. You can say whether you'd want the child to be human, mutant or hybrid. You name it, I'll write it.

Father And Child: Leonardo and Eight Year Old Son

Genre: Hurt/Comfort ; Family

Requested By: Me

"GAH!" Eight year old Teiji yelled as he hit the floor in the dojo.

He gritted his teeth as he rubbed his butt and hoped his yell hadn't alerted any of the adults. He wasn't supposed to be in the dojo after training. He heard his father and uncles discussing that they didn't want him turning out to feel as if he had to always be better, like his father had as a child. However, that was exactly what Teiji wanted.

His father was a hero. A knight in shining armor. Master of the shadows. One day, Teiji would be just like Hamato Leonardo.

Teiji picked himself up and formed position again. He performed the kick once more. He knew he could do it. He held in his pain when he face planted on the floor again. But of course, all his falls caused various echoes to flow through the lair.

"Teiji?"

Said turtle snapped his head up, dark eyes wide in panic. "Dad?"

Leo stood with his arms folded, "what exactly are you doing?"

Teiji jumped up from the floor and bowed, "sorry, Dad. I was... Um... Getting better at my kicks."

"Uh huh. I've already told you that kick is too high for your level. It is also dangerous to perform it with no one around or at least no mat to land on." Leo lectured.

Teiji's throat clogged. He did it again. His father was angry at him. Sometimes he felt as if he was nothing but an annoyance to the amazing ninjas of his family. He was opposite of his parent, he had the same passion for martial arts as him, however, took much longer to learn than he did.

Why couldn't he not disappoint Leonardo once in awhile? Was he that stupid? Was he that much of a failure to them?

Leo stopped abrupt in his lecture and eyed the turtle who's head was bowed. He caught the clenched little fists and the slight shake of his shoulders.

"Teiji? Son, are you okay?" Leo asked gently and got down to one knee. He never meant for the younger one to cry.

The boy nodded and wiped his arm across his face. "I'm fine, Dad, don't worry about me."

"No, you're not fine." Leo said softly and took his son in his arms, adjusting himself so Teiji could sit on his lap. He may he a strict Sensei but when his child was troubled he was immediately there for him and let the extreme caring side out. "Son, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He replied back. His face flushed in embarrassment.

Leo gave him, 'The Look.' The Don't-You-Lie-Cause-I-Know-Something's-Up look.

Teiji's lip quivered in response as he watched his father's expression in sadness.

"Come on, just tell me. Did you hurt yourself when practicing?" Leo edged on, determined to understand.

With a slight shake of his head the younger turtle laid his head on his father's strong chest. Listening to the harsh but peaceful heartbeat banging against it. "I disappointed you again, Father. You're angry."

"You- what?" Leonardo blinked confused. "You've never disappointed me; you never will, Teiji. Remember that."

"Huh?" The little one asked as he looked up into his father's deep eyes.

"I'm proud of you, my little warrior." Leo smiled gently as Teiji dipped his head at the oldest's words. "There're just some rules I have to make you obey so you don't get hurt. You are my littlest pride. I love you, you don't need to make sure you're perfect in your ninjutsu just to impress me."

Teiji blinked in shock. His father figured the reason behind his extra training without him having said anything. In turn Leonardo chuckled softly, "I was once like you too, y'know."

Teiji tilted his head, "really? But you're so...awesome."

Leo laughed deeply at this comment. "I'm glad you think so, Teiji. You're awesome too."

Dark eyes widened in disbelief at those words, "honest? You actually think I'm awesome?"

"The awesomest." Leo grinned.

Small arms wrapped tightly around the eldest's neck as Teiji buried his face into Leo's neck. "I love you, Dad."

Tucking his child's head under his chin Leonardo hugged him back caringly, "I love you too, my Little Warrior."
