Second chapter! I'm so happy for this. Btw I'm working on another TMNT story "Angels and Demons" (none of the turtles are angels or demons, don't get your hopes up) and though I'm still stuck on finishing the first chapter I want to ask you if it's a good idea to write two stories at the same time. For me the only obstacle could be an artist block (which is happening occasionally)but I could always recover and keep writing. ANYWAY, important part. Should I or should I NOT write "Angels and Demons" while "Ciara" is in progress? Tell me in the reviews and maybe next week I'll have a voting post on Twitter. Thank you. :)

Normal P.O.V

It's been a whole month since Raph became a father and though he still can't believe it he seems to get along fine with waking up every night by Ciara's cries. He can calm her down in a matter of seconds and he can realize what she wants depending on her cries.

"WAAAaaagh!" Ciara cried loudly at first but it got weaker later. Raph was patrolling with Casey so the other three turtles had to realize what she needed. "Maybe she just wants her daddy." suggested Mickey. "Yeah but her so-called-daddy isn't here." responded Leo angrily. "Woah, Leo what's gotten into you?" said Donnie while he made stroked Ciara's raven black hair, making her sleepy. (A/N: If anyone realized that sleep was what Ciara wanted and you realized it just from her cry then you are destined to be a parent.)"Well Donnie, Raph is a dad and he's out fooling around with Casey. What if Ciara needed something that only Raph could provide her? What could we do?" Leo said angrily and Donnie just sighed irritated "Leo, Raph has skipped many training and many patrolling and all outings for the entire month. He's worth of a break." "And if that doesn't convince you, just know that Casey's dad and sis would be out of town for Christmas and he invited Raph to spend Christmas with him at his place. But Raph rejected this because Ciara is his number one priority. Just one outing isn't that bad." added Mickey and Leo apologized for his outburst, explaining that he would handle the situation differently but yet accepting that his brother was worth of a day off.

Casey's P.O.V

And that was the last Purple Dragon. They're all beaten to the ground. I glance over at Raph who was just finishing off another one. Why would he deny my offer to spend time with me? I know that Christmas is supposed to be about family and stuff but I'll be all alone at holidays. I know I can pay a visit to the guys but I don't want to hang around all the time. That would make me look desperate. Raph yawned, again. He has been yawning and going tired all night. What's up? "Hey man, you ok?" I asked as I approached him. "Yeah, I'm fine." he said sleepy. "You insomniac?" I asked, probably thinking that this would be the deal. "No. Why would you think that, because I yawn all the time? Well I'm exhausting myself in training, as always. Nothing out of order." Raph snapped. "Ok dude, chill. So... have you reconsidered my offer. I'm not saying that you won't see the others during the holidays but we're gonna have tons of fun." I changed the subject. He said that he would think of my invitation but wasn't sure if the answer would be positive. "Thanks Casey, really. But I can't, I told you that." Raph said as we climbed up on a rooftop and sat on the edge. "Ok I get." I said slightly disappointed that I'll be on my own during holidays. I would join my dad and sis but they're just going in Washington. I've been in Washington more that three times already, it's exhausting. "So, what are your plans? Christmas is just around the cornern, you must have something scheduled. What are you asking for a Christmas gift? I asked a new hockey club since my previous got broken. So what are you asking for?" I asked eager for my friend's reply. As a kid I always liked to know what others ask for holidays and this habit has stick to me till this very day. "I've already received my gift." he murmured. "Well, what is it?" I asked. "Well... it's kind of a long story. Come with me." he said and walked towards the lair. Eventually we arrived and I saw Mickey and Leo. "Hey guys. How was patrolling?" Mickey asked. "Great. So where's D?" I asked and right after that he walked in with something in his hands. It was wrapped with a blanket so I couldn't realize what it was. "Oh, hey guys. How was patrolling?" he asked as well. "Fine. What are you holding there?" I asked and I swear, if he won't tell me right now I'm gonna grab it out of his hands. I'm so curious. What could Raph's Christmas present be so he'd have to take me down here and show it to me.

Normal P.O.V

Raph took Ciara in his arms and took her close to Casey. "Alright, don't freak out." he warned and showed the baby to Casey. He just stared at her as if he had never seen a baby before. "Wait, wait, wait, wait... THIS is your gift and your reason for not showing any signs of life for the past month?!" he asked surprised and Raph just nodded. "But... how? When? Where was I? What happened?!" asked Casey more eager and curious than ever.

~One Story Later~

"And that's when I swallowed it in and took Ciara under my care." Raph finished the story and Casey's mind was blown. His best friend just became a father. "So that's why you're so sleepy and you don't go out and you don't pick up your T-phone?" asked Casey, not waiting Raph to answer since he already knew. "And that's why I rejected your invitation. I'd love to hang out with you but..." started Raph and instead of finishing his sentence his green eyes trailed down to his daughter. "I get it, man. I guess being a parent is more difficult than what it looks like." stated Casey. "If you need any help you can call me, no matter what time of the day it is." Casey would sacrifice his relaxation and quiet for a little girl that wasn't even his own. But he felt Ciara as his niece. "Thanks Casey. I really appreciate it man. Hey tell you what, why don't you come and stay down here along with us. Unless if you mind loud cries in the middle of the night..." suggested Raph and Casey agreed. "Why don't we call April too?" suggested Leo and Donnie texted her. Her reply was positive. "These are gonna be the best Christmas holidays in the world!" yelled Mickey excited but he received many 'shhh' sounds because he almost woke Ciara up.

Done. So how was it? OOC for Casey I know but I want to think of Casey as that one eager and excited friend I have. Also about making Leo a complete douche it's because I know from my parents that when I was born they would barely go out and people would be like "How irresponsible of you. You have a child to raise." and I believe that everyone deserves an outing. So Raph is my parents and Leo is these stupid people (sorry Leo). Anyway, bye.
