Chapter 3
Mikey's P.O.V.
2 months later
I was now 4 months pregnant and was more than slightly showing now and now I had stopped with the morning sickness. Now I am in the second part of my pregnancy where I am craving different things. I walked into the kitchen because I was craving something I rarely eat, vegetables. I mixed them in a bowl and grabbed ranch dressing to dip them in. Raph and Don came in shortly after and stopped and stared at me.
"Why are you staring at me?" I asked picking up a broccoli. "You are eating vegetables, you never eat vegetables." Raph said. "What I was craving them." I said stubbornly. "Oh great, the cravings have started." Don said as he came to sit down next to me. "I can't help it. The baby likes it." I said as Leo and Splinter came in. They stopped and stared at me as well. "Leo, Sensei Mikey has started the craving part of her pregnancy. Mikey after breakfast Leatherhead had helped me gather some supplies. I have an ultrasound machine now we can see how the baby is doing." Don said. I nodded as I munched away on a carrot. Raph got done at the same time I got done so I pulled him along with me.
"Okay Mikey, I want you to lay down here. This is going to be cold." Don said. "Donnie, isn't Mike supposed to be smaller than this?" Raph asked. I was worried about it too. "Well yes, but this could mean that Mike is carrying more than one child." Don said. "What!" I asked. "There is a chance. Can you us tell exactly what Stockman used to inject the semen with?" Don asked. "Well, it was…" I paused to take a deep breath as I felt Raph take my hand. "You can do this Mikey." Raph said pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"Stockman had strapped me to a table and made sure that my legs were spread wide apart. Then he took huge syringe type thing and had it pushed really far into me that it hurt. I was sore for days after it." I said with a shaky breath. "Then it is possible that there could be more than one baby in there." Donnie said as he grabbed some jell and a wand type thing. "How can that thing get through the shell Donnie?" I asked. "I beefed it up so that it could. Now like I said before this will be cold." Don said.
I jerked when the jell touched my skin and shell. Donnie started rubbing the jell around and we turned to the screen. "Well Mike it turns out that you have twins after all." Donnie said. "Great," I moaned just as Don turned on the sound and we could hear the heart beats. "Why are they beating fast? Is that normal?" I asked slightly in a panic. "It's perfectly normal Mikey. Do you want me to get Leo and Sensei so they can see this as well?" Don asked. I nodded as I turned my head back to the screen where I could see the two little babies growing inside of me.
"We are going to have our hands full." Raph said. "And we are going to have to get you condoms or something." I said with a smile. Raph laughed and gave me a quick kiss before Leo and Master Splinter came in behind Don. "There isn't anything wrong with the baby is there Don?" Leo asked concerned. "Nope but you might have to get used to saying babies. Mikey is having twins." Don said. "Really?" Leo asked. "Yep." Don said.
"Can you tell what they are yet?" I asked. "It would seem like they are taking after the turtle side of their genes. If you look here they are forming their shells although they are soft. You can also see that their toes and fingers are forming as well. It would seem that they are taking after Casey there it would seem that they are going to have five toes but three fingers." Don said. "When do I start to feel them move?" I asked. "I would say in another month or so." Don said. Don went and pressed a button to print out a picture of the sonogram. Raph then helped me to clean the jell off my stomach and was helped off the bed.
"So can I get you anything Mike?" Raph asked. I looked at him with a smile before voicing what I wanted. "Some peanut butter ice cream with ketchup, chocolate sauce and pickles." I said to Raph. Everyone looked at me with pure horror and coughed back a gag. "Are you sure Mikey?" Raph asked kinda unsure whether or not to go and get it for me. "Absolutely." I said with a smile before sighing in content and placing a hand on my baby bump. "You better get it for her; this stage also means that she will get particularly moody." Don said to Raph with a smile. Raph grumbled before going into the kitchen.
Just as Raph walked into the kitchen April and Casey came in through the elevator. "Hey guys, Mikey how are you doing?" April asked walking over to give me a hug. "I'm doing great. I had the first ultrasound today." I said with a smile. "Really that's great. How is the baby doing?" she asked. "Babies, April. I am having twins." I said with a smile. I looked over at Casey who fainted again. "I think that's become a regular occurrence for him." I said to April. "Yeah I think so too." April said right before Raph came out of the kitchen with a bowl of the weird concoction.
"Here Mikey. Take your strange craving and eat it before I become sick from the smell." Raph said with a smirk. I took the bowl and spoon and began eating it. "Aww, the cravings. So what is she craving so far?" April asked. "Well this morning she was eating vegetables with ranch and now its peanut butter ice cream with ketchup, chocolate sauce and pickles." Raph said. "Now that's disgusting. But then again it is Mikey we are talking about and he was always an oddball." April said. "Hey!" I complained loudly. April smiled as she went to go and wake up Casey.
"So April not that I'm not happy that you guys are here but why are you here?" Don asked. I looked at them finishing off my ice cream. "Well I was hoping that Mikey and I could go back to my house and hang out with me and Angel for a while." April said. "Yeah, does Angel know of the change yet?" I asked. "Well no not yet. So this going to be a surprise for her." April said with a smile. "I would love to. Maybe you guys could give me tips about what to do with my hair too." I said in a valley girl voice. "Okay you do that to well." Raph said stepping back from me. April and I laughed before I grabbed my street clothes. I stopped before I got to the stairs. "I won't be able to wear the street clothes April." I said with a frown. "No worries. I brought a trench coat for you to wear." she said. She pulled it out of the bag and gave it to me. I shrugged it on and it fit perfectly. I turned to Master Splinter to give me the permission to leave with April. "You may go my daughter just be careful not to strain yourself." Sensei said. "Don't worry Sensei, I won't get caught, I will be with April." I said giving my father a hug. I gave Raph a quick kiss before I left with April. Casey stayed behind while April and I headed up to the surface.
Raph's P.O.V.
"Is she really having twins?" Casey asked as Mikey and April were gone. "Yep, we are going to be busy once they are born." I said. "Have you figured out the genders?" Casey asked. "Not yet, it would seem that they are more turtle than human Case." I said with a smile. "You are really getting into this whole father thing aren't ya bud." Casey asked. "You know, Mikey meant it when she said that you can be the uncle instead of the father Case." I said putting my hand on his shoulder. "I know but I just can't shake the feeling that those kids will change my life." Casey said. "I know Case, but you need to get it through your thick head that even though you won't be the one to raise them you will be in their lives Casey." I said. "You sure about this Raph. I just can't help but feel responsible for them. If I wasn't captured then Mike would be almost 5 month's pregnant." he said.
"Casey, I don't think that it would have mattered. Stockman would have used someone else's sperm. I'm just grateful that it's yours instead some random strangers." I said. "Really Raph, you don't care that your mate is carrying my child?" Casey asked. "Dude, I don't really care. This actually gives us a chance to build the family. Who knows maybe in a few years after the twins are born Mikey and I will have another kid. Now let's stop with this mushy stuff and go for a ride." I said. "Alright baldy let's get out of here." Casey said. "Bonehead." I said as we left the lair after the conversation.
