Suzuki and Wanda introduced Joe and Chuck to Chloe and the turtles. Then everyone sat down on the floor in a circle.
"We're here to explain why our craft store is named The Amelia Craft Store," Joe said.
"We own the store but our wives, Alana and Chris manage it," Chuck said.
"I'm married to Chris and we have 9 year old identical twin girls named Josephine and Cheryl."
"I'm married to Alana and we have 9 year old identical twin boys named C.J., which stands for Charles John, and Matthew."
"I'm going to let Chuck tell the story since he was there."
"Better make yourselves comfortable since this might take a while."
Flashback
Amelia and Chuck were in Chuck's car with Amelia driving. Heading towards them was a truck that had a bad smelling guy with a beer can on the dashboard and he was driving with his eyes closed.
Amelia tried to swerve to avoid the truck but it was too fast. The truck crashed into the car leaving Amelia unconscious and Chuck injured with cuts and bruises.
Luckily, a lady witnessed the crash. She raced to the payphone on the corner and dialed 911.
Chuck was lying in a hospital bed covered in bandages and hooked to an IV. Just then, Joe entered the room.
"I'm glad you're all right," Joe said, rushing over with his arms outstretched and then dropping them once he reached the bed. "I don't want to hurt you."
"It's ok," Chuck said, holding out his arms. "Just be careful."
Joe carefully wrapped his arms around Chuck who returned the gesture. The two of them squeezed each other tightly but carefully.
Joe and Chuck released each other a few minutes later. Then Joe sat down on the bed.
"How's Amelia?" Joe asked.
"She's in intensive care in a coma," Chuck replied.
"You think she'll make it?"
"The doctors don't think she will."
Joe and Chuck wrapped their arms around each other. They stayed in that position for a while.
A couple hours later, Chuck was sitting up in his bed when Joe came in. Joe walked over to Chuck and sat down on his bed.
"There's something I need you to know," Joe said, trying to stay calm.
"Would it have something to do with Amelia?" Chuck inquired.
"She didn't make it."
"I never should've let her drive my car."
"You didn't know that the drunk driver would run into you two."
"I hope he gets a long prison sentence."
Joe and Chuck wrapped their arms around each other. Then they squeezed each other tightly and broke down completely.
End Flashback
Back at Suzuki and Wanda's apartment, Chloe was the only one with dry eyes. Joe and Chuck had their arms wrapped around each other along with Suzuki and Wanda, Mikey and Donny, and Leo and Raph.
"Our wives stayed at the house with the babies during our time at the hospital," Joe said.
"Amelia had a difficult life in the past and she was turning her life around," Chuck said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Suzuki and Wanda got up to answer it.
The two of them let two women in. It turned out to be Alana and Chris.
