Family Ties
a/n: Yay, a new chapter. Sorry if I went on a bit at the end of the last chapter. I felt like I had to introduce Lucianna properly. God a lot happened in the last chapter and I had no idea that they were going to happen when I first started writing, must have let my inspiration get a bit carried away when I was writing it. And by that I meant my original turtle girl getting knocked up by Kraang experimentation. I have rambled a bit so the word for this chapter is cheese. Enjoy ! :)
Chapter 2
The kids were settling down to watch an episode of Space Heros. "Sorry the television is set on Japanese. I could turn on the subtitles if you want or change the language." Donnie said
"No thanks our whitelighter/ elder halves allow us to understand other languages." Wyatt replied. Melinda came over to him and began to climb all over him. "Melinda go away!" He screamed pushing her off of him. "Go annoy mom or dad." He said to her. She didn't get a chance to go anywhere as Samie came into the room and scooped her into her arms. "Hey baby cous. Do you want to see your mommy?" She asked tickling Melinda as she screamed in delight.
"Yeah we get mamma." She said. Samie placed her down and held her hand as she walked toward the kitchen.
When she got there she seen her mother with her sisters sitting there. "Mamma!" Melinda cried out and ran over to piper. Samie sat down at the table and put her head down on it in fatigue and nausea.
"Mommy what's wrong with me?" She asked in a quiet voice.
"Baby its perfectly natural for you to feel this way. Your body is adapting to your baby that's all." Prue told her.
"Your mother is right Samantha. It is perfectly normal to feel horribly crappy in the first trimester." Piper reassured her. Samie still didn't lift her head off of the table.
"Samantha honey lift your head up. Come on I will get you little brother to make your favorite breakfast before the others start training." Prue said.
"Mom I just don't know what to do about this." Sam put her hand over her mouth before getting up and running over to the sink where everything that she had eaten in the last 24 hours had come back up on her. "Now tell me this is normal." She said when she was finished.
"You know it is, now go and brush your teeth and I will clean this up for you." Prue said and the teenager ran out of the room and into the bathroom.
"Prue you haven't changed a bit have you?" Paige asked. "You used to do that for us when we were sick."
"Yeah, I guess I haven't I protect my kids the same way I did for you three growing up. And I know what Samie is going through isn't her fault and I feel like it's my job to tell her that."
"You're her mom of course it's your job to protect her and tell her that it isn't her fault, you do it for all of us mom." The four woman turned around at the sound of his voice.
"Leonardo, I thought you were running katas. Why are you listening into our conversation?" Prue asked.
"I didn't mean to although it was pretty hard to miss what you said mom." He said his bright blue eyes sparkling.
"Just go and finish your katas." Leo walked to the fridge and brought out a bottle of vitamin water. He left the kitchen. "There is so little privacy in this family, extended or not." Piper laughed at this comment thinking back to the multiple times Prue had just walked into her own bedroom over the years. "Hey don't laugh at me sis." Prue said.
Half an hour later five teenagers sat in the dojo facing their father. "Today you will be working with weapons. But you will not be using your own weapons. Lucianna use Samantha's staff. Donatello use Leonardo's swords. Raphael use Michelangelo's nunchaku, Michelangelo use Raphael's Sai and Leonardo use Donatello's bo." Samie looked on knowing it was no use.
"Sensei can I join in. I will take it easier if we aren't sparring." She said.
"Definitely not my daughter. You are in a very delicate condition and I do not want you to get hurt." Splinter told her. "Now do you remember when I was teaching you to use your own weapons how I told you that the weapon should be an extension of yourself." The teens nodded at their father. "Good today I want you to find a part of yourself that will allow you to use any weapon expertly." He brought a random weapon off of the wall and used it before picking up another and using that. "You see my students, being able to expertly handle more than one weapon gives you an advantage over an enemy who only uses one expertly." He said. "You know the basics of most weapons but I am going to give you more advanced katas to practice with. But first I want you run the basic katas with these weapons to get you used to it before we move on. Hajime."
The katas began and by the end of it Mikey nearly cut his head off, Donnie nearly stabbed his thigh, Luci, Leo and Raph had very sore heads from being whacked by either a nunchaku or a bo staff. And Sam got a first hand view of it all. "Samantha. If you please to take use sword borrowed from your sister then I would be happy for you to join in as long as you take it easy."
Sam jumped up and unsheathed the sword. "Arigato Sensei." She bowed before running through the basic katas with one sword perfectly.
"Well done child." Splinter watched as his six children stood in front of him. "Now for the more advanced stuff..."
Prue was now sitting in the living room with her sisters. "How long have your kids been studying martial arts?" Phoebe asked.
"They had not long began their training when we were introduced, so I would guess from when they were able to walk on their own two feet without too much difficulty." Prue said.
"And you are perfectly okay with your children beating each other up everyday?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, and besides I couldn't think of anyone else I would have teaching them martial arts. Yoshi is the greatest Ninja Master in a century. And the Hamato Clan is Centuries old and there is only one other clan of it's kind. So I guess he is the only person I trust enough to train them. If I had a problem with it then I would have said something about it in the past."
"I guess they do have talent in martial arts." Paige commented.
"Yeah, and it gives them something to do other than lying around in here all day. They would end up socially reclusive if they didn't learn these skills. And it scares me to think that it could have been very different for them if they didn't have their father around."
Wyatt and Chris were watching the training from the side of the dojo. "Wy, are they going to hurt each other?" Chris asked.
"I think they are too busy trying not to hurt themselves. Now shush." Wyatt responded. The boys watched as the others let the girls take out some stress in the form of a sparring match. Chris's eyes bulged out of his head as Lucianna spun the staff around behind her back. "Lucianna, you must learn how to find an opponent's weak spot and use it against them." Luci was about to land a blow on her sister's plastron but then remembered about her condition. She hesitated, and that was all Samie needed to gain the upper hand. She countered the move with a sweeping leg kick before using the momentum to kick herself off of the ground and directly toward her sister. Soon enough the two were back on their feet. This time it was Wyatt who was really impressed. "Yame!" Splinter ordered. The girls stopped in their tracks and bowed to each other respectively before sitting beside their brothers. Leo and Donnie were up next. It would be pretty much the same fight, other than Don using Leo's Katana instead of Luci's one. Raph wanted to get in on the action, and he knew that was why their father was making him wait. He would be next though and it would be the perfect time to get Mikey back for the prank he had pulled the other day.
They began to spar with the others weapon and Mikey was at a disadvantage. He was the master of chains and there was no chain on a Sai. Raph smiled slyly as if he realised that his younger brother was out of his comfort zone. What he had forgotten was that he was out of his when he was using nunchucks. Reality hit him in the head when he swung his arm and was hit by one of the nunchaku. Mikey laughed at im and spun the sai around in his hand. The master of nunchaku wasn't too bad with sai. He jabbed at thin air but Raph was waiting for that and countered with a kick. "Yami." Splinter called.
"Raphael, Michelangelo. I want you two to stay for extra practice with these weapons. You have not honed your skills this morning. The others may leave." Raph and Mike threw the others dirty looks as they walked out of the dojo. Wyatt and Chris seen that training was over and ran back to the living area to watch Crognard the Barbarian.
"What are you two doing?" Piper asked as the boys sat down in the living area.
"Nothing." Wyatt answered.
"Yeah mom we were in the bathroom." Chris continued.
"At the same time for that long. I though I raised honest kids."
"Look Crognard is going to throw Smooch, this guy rocks." Wyatt said trying to distract his mother.
"Wyatt, Chris we do not lie to each other in this family." Piper warned.
"Okay we were watching our cousins train." Wyatt gave in knowing that his mother would be very angry if he never.
The turtles sat down on the couch. "How was training?" Prue asked them.
"Us boys got showed up by the girls." Raph said.
"So we showed you up because we are actually willing to put time and effort into learning katas with other weapons rather than our own." Luci scowled at her younger brother.
"No you show us up by being strong and independant." Raph responded.
"Do you even know how sexist you sound when you say that. Mom's family is pretty much full of women who are and were strong and independant." Sam argued "And you just don't like the fact that we know how to use more than one weapon and you don't."
"Well at least I didn't get myself pregnant." Raph retorted in anger. Everyone looked at him shocked that he would actually say something like that.
Sam looked hurt. Raph seen how hurt she was, so he went to apologise. She wouldn't let him and ran towards her bedroom. "Raphael. Apologise to your sister immediately." Splinter yelled at him. Raph felt like crap. It wasn't her fault, it was the Kraang. They did this to her, and he was back to being pissed off again. He went to find his sister.
He knocked on her bedroom door. "Sam unlock the door." He said.
"Go away Raph." Her voice was muffled through the door and because of the door and the fact that she was crying into her pillow.
"Samie, I just want to apologise."
"I don't care go away. I don't want to talk to you." Raph gave up and walked away without apologising.
"Fine then, just stay in there by yourself." He yelled to the locked door in anger. Then immediately felt guilty for yelling at his sister again. He turned away and decided to try again later when she had calmed down a bit.
Sam was in her room, someone appeared in front of her. "It isn't fair is it?" Asked the strange woman who stood before the teenager. "What your brother said to you?"
"Who are you and how did you get into my bedroom?" Sam asked not answering the question.
"Take my hand and I'll show you." The woman held out her hand, but the turtle wasn't born yesterday and never took it. "Please, I'm not going to hurt you. I only want to show you the truth behind your words." Sam still didn't completely trust her, but still took the hand thinking that she could handle it. They shimmered out again, without anybody even knowing about it.
a/n: This update took a really long time and this is just chapter 2. If this sounds stupid in anyway just tell me and I will try and make it better.
