Shattered Mirrors Ch2. (Just Another Day)

Raph POV

As his eyes opened, Raph shifted as her aroma filled his nostrils, with a devilish smile curved onto his lips, he slyly leaned his beak towards the crook of her neck, giving her a small lick, watching her like a hawk stalking it's prey.

She moaned towards his actions, mumbling under her breath still sleeping soundly, slowly moving his hand down towards her tail, lightly he squeezed it, well that's what he thought he did.

Suddenly April squealed in shock, literally jumping in response, then crashing to the hard cement floor, as she fell off the bed before he could even grab her in time, staring at the edge of the bed, Raph's face went white, that wasn't what he was aiming for…

Now the question was, should he go check on her and suffer her wrath that he truly feared at the moment, or act innocent and pretend to be sleeping.

Taking the easy road, he shut his eyes quickly, she wouldn't notice he was really awake, only thinking he was sleep touching, thinking on that notion, it did sound pretty pathetic even in his head.

A horrifying growl came towards him, unable to help it, he couldn't stop himself from shuddering by it.

(Shit, did she notice… Not that I did it on purpose… Wait, I'm the tough one here, why am I acting like some pussy?)

Opening his eyes meeting the malice filled green eyes that glared at him furiously, he shuddered yet again.

(Damn… she is scary… no way anyone is brave enough… or stupid, to act all tough towards the likes of her, when she is this pissed off…)

Thinking as quickly as he could, Raph wondered if he could figure a solution to this, he could kiss her, which normally smooth things over, or…

Taking the first option before considering if there were others, Raph planted his lips against hers, with a sigh she looked at him.

"Nice try, why did you pinch my tail?" April pulled away crossing her arms, not very amused with him.

Chuckling still feeling the full effect of the woman stare, he rubbed his head, "Well, I was trying to massage it… I must have put more force then I attended to…"

April looked at him over, then shook her head, "I believe you, but Raph, please be gentle next time, that really did hurt."

Placing his arm around her brushing his cheek against hers, letting out a small chirp as his apology, she blushed kissing him on the cheek.

Normally he wouldn't do such things as chirping, but he has seen Donnie do it and it really did butter her up, though there was no way in hell he was going to do it in front of his family, he would prefer the woman look, over that humiliation.

Well, not like his family could say a word, for each one of them have been a bit more open towards their turtle side showing it more, but only in the lair though, outside they were ninja's with a reputation to uphold.

Pulling her in, Raph licked her neck as she moaned and gasp, trying to pry him off her, not for she didn't like it, but it was time to get up, nether of them had the luxury to sleep in per say.

Knowing the daily schedule all to well, that was a pain to him, Raph sighed, giving a love bite before getting out of bed as his way in teasing her, only to receive a slap on the rump in response, which did make his tail tingle with delight.

Looking over his shoulders, he smiled, almost debating if he should say hell with it and jump her, pinning her to the bed, she might complain at first, but in truth she would like it all the same.

(Damn, she is gorgeous … But I made a promise, I wonder if I should grab her in the shower later? Mmm she does smell so damn delicious when her body is all wet and silky. Not to mention how hot she looks, when the water drips off that perfect figure… huh where did she go?)

Realizing April walk out of the room while he was in his fantasy world, Raph crossed his arms quite disappointed; he should have jumped her when he had the chance.

April POV

Smiling to herself, April wondered how long it would take Raph to notice that she slipped out of the room?

Sure, she could tell the red clad turtle was getting pretty aroused, which was a turn on, yet she couldn't let him hold her hostage for the remainder of the day, though the thought was really amusing to the point she did consider at one moment to let him do it.

Shaking her head, she had things to do, for starters was to see how Uncle Leo was doing, April smirked more when she reached the bottom of the stairs hearing Leo voice coming from the kitchen area of the lair.

"No Luke, that's not where your baby food goes! Willow stop patting your bowl, you're going to knock it over. AH jeez Luke," Leo yelped as the thud came afterwards, followed by a wailing laughter from Mikey.

(Well, Leo is doing well as usual; I swear those two kids love torturing him…)

Leo growled under his breath, "Mikey, you're not helping…"

It was apparent that Leo was stressed already, he does love the children to bits, but they had the habit making Leo frantic to the point they could even make him cry, though April never would want to see that, it would be just to hard for her not to laugh at him.

Reaching the dining room, there standing, holding Luke, was Leo covered head to toe in baby food; April wasn't sure who was feeding who at the moment.

As for Mikey, he was sitting at the table, pounding his fist into it, laughing so hard that any given moment the young turtle was going to fall off his chair, all the while Willow clapped her hands, happy as could be.

Sighing to himself, Leo finally looked over towards April as a look of relief came over him, "Oh good your mommy is up," Leo tried to pass off Luke to April instantly.

With a smile April gladly took Luke, cuddling him in her arms, just to have Willow pout, then cry, for she too wanted her mother to hold her.

"Well have fun," Leo took this as his cue to run while he still could, he had his share of the kids for the morning and now he had to go wash up.

Watching Leo leaving in a rush, both Mikey and April held back their laughs, noticing Leo's shell was painted with food hand prints, how did that happen, who knows.

Shaking her head with a smile, April took a dish towel wiping Luke's face, "Now let's see if we get some food in your tummy little one. Mikey can you help?"

Getting out of his chair, Mikey went to Willow taking her out of her high chair, whisking her into the air, "Willow do you want Uncle Mikey to feed you?"

Willow squealed clenching her hands indicating she wanted Mikey to hug her, smiling Mikey love taking care of the kids, holding Willow, he made bubbling noises near her neck making her squeal louder in pure glee.

Donnie POV

Mouth dry, the nightmare once again came to him before daybreak, Donnie laid there staring at the ceiling, wondering if he should even bother getting up, he felt depressed, scared, this was starting to hinder his already poor state mind.

Sighing, he rolled over holding his pillow between his legs, clenching it tightly, then suddenly something hit him in the shell, startling him.

"Get up Donnie," Raph voice came from the side of the bed, slowly Donnie turned around to meet face to face with his older brother that had his arms crossed with a frustrated look on his face.

It was obvious even to Donnie, Raph probably preferred to be doing other things, or be with April than to deal with him, a part of him wanted to tell Raph to leave and not bother.

Sighing Raph slumped down onto Donnie's bed shaking his head.

(Was I showing my expressions again? I am not really good at hiding this…)

"Ok, I understand we both don't like doing this… But we promise April and you still need some supervision… I know this blows, but Donnie trust me when I say this, I think you are healthy enough to do things on your own… but we both know what happen the last grace period we gave you…" Raph trailed off, he really didn't wanted to put the salt in the open wound, but last time they let Donnie to do what he wish without a schedule, he had some kind of a breakdown in which he almost got himself killed.

(Yeah… It's pathetic that I still need so much help still…)

"Raph… Sorry," Donnie sat up leaning his shell against the wall holding his legs.

Biting his lip, Raph jump off the bed, "Well don't be, come on I need your help either way."

Tilting his head Donnie wonder what he meant by that, help with what?

Heading towards the door, Raph looked over his shoulder with a devilish smile, "Well, come on, we need to replace them now or Leo will have both our shells!"

"Fix what?" Donnie tilted his head trying to read Raph.

Shrugging sighing under his breath, Raph rubbed his head, "The camera's you set up years ago in the sewers that we use to keep an eye around the outside of the lair for our safety. Some damn reason, last night a bunch of the outer hunk of junks, just stop working all together, not sure why, so it's our job to replace them."

"We? Are you sure… I'm… I'm not…," Donnie started feeling doubtful of his capability to help Raph.

Raph roared smiling more, "You're worried about you being able to do this, you do remember I know jack shit about this kind of stuff right?"

Raising an eyebrow Donnie didn't understand why would they be doing it then, "Ok… why us?"

"Simple no one else wanted to do it, besides how I see it… If I make you do all the work and if something does go wrong and you get shocked or worse, at least it's not me in the end."

(That's why he wants me to go with him to be… to be his dummy?)

"Thanks Raph… Love you too," Donnie sighed, getting out of bed, could this day get any worse?
