Chapter 3: The Tests

When they reached home, the infants started cooing.

"Great, they're awake." Raphael groaned.

"Maybe they're hungry. I know I would be." Donnie said as he took Fede out of the basket to go to get him something to eat.

"I hope they like pizza!" Mikey said as he took Coco and Bloomer and went into the kitchen.

Raphael took Lucia and Leo took Daisy into the kitchen.

As all of them walked into the kitchen, the saw Master Splinter sitting at the table watching all of them.

"My sons, why are you back so early? And what are those that you are holding?" He said sternly.

"The Shredder was going to use them to his own will so Karai took them and gave them to me to keep away from him." Leo said, afraid of what Splinter would say.

"Karai gave them to you, and you took them?"

"Yes. She was telling the truth."

"And how do you know?"

"Because if she wasn't she wouldn't have giving them to me. She would have gave it to each of us and wouldn't have told me the story..."

"Hmmm... I don't know if this is a good idea..."

"Master Splinter, even if it was a trap, these babies should not be in it. They are- too innocent..." Leonardo finally said with a sigh as he looked down at Daisy.

"Very well, you may keep them. But only if you all take care of them. I have passed the stage."

"WE WILL!" They all said in union.

"Let me go get the baby supplies I had in the cabinet..." Splinter finally said as he left.

"Nice going, Fearless." Raphael said.

Leo sighed. He looked at how close Donnie and Mikey had gotten to Fede, CoCo and Bloomer as they fed them with pizza. Coco chowed down on it, Bloomer pushed it away and Fede looked at it carefully. Leo then looked at Daisy. She was looking back it him and giggling at him. He smiled and went to get her something healthy to eat. Raphael got some lettuce to Lucia.

After they all ate, Donnie give each of them a test to see if they were a trap or something. Soon, each one was tested and the only wrong with them was that they had a steroid to enhance their fighting skills.

"Hmm... It seem that The Shredder put them with a fight-enhancement drug but other than that, they are harmless." Donnie said, looking at the sheet with all of the infants' tests.

"Can you take it out?" Raphael asked.

"Only if it causes harm." Donnie said. "If I take it out it could damage them."

"Looks like we just have to wait." Leonardo said.

All the five babies yawned. Coco and Bloomer reached for Mikey, Daisy cooed and reached for Leo, Lucia call out for Raph and Fede was banging the table for Donnie.

"Good Night guys..." The four said in union as they took their new child/children to their rooms.

"I'll put you in Spike's old place. You could fit their for a while." Raph said as he put Lucia down for a rest... "I know this is mushy but, I have a feeling we're going to be really close, Lucy... Even if I don't know you so well..."

Lucia reached for Raph and whined. Raph pulled her out of it.

"What's the matter, huh?" Raph asked only to see Lucia hugging him and cooing softly. He then rested her back in but she held onto his hand tightly, so Raph decided to sleep on the floor nest to Lucia.

He pulled the mattress off with the blankets and laid it next to Lucia. Then he put his hand in with Lucy so she could hug it. She went fast to sleeep, hugging the hand like a teddy bear. Raph sighed and took off the light. After a few minutes he heard Lucy.

"A hgv jhu mhkig, ie drj phgebjo lgkje."

Raph didn't really meant, but his mind told him, "I wuv you Raphie. We are already close."

In seconds, Donnie had made a mini bed out of Fede's basket.

"I hope you like it, Fay. It's really comfy." Donnie said as he put Fede there to rest.

"Arp!"

"Oh! I guess I forgot to burp you... Sorry." He said as put the blanket on Fede and took off the lights.

"Sleep Tight, Fay."

"MY ROYALE PRINCE AND PRINCESS WILL BE SLEEPING IN THE MOST COMFORTABLE PLACE IN MY BEDROOM!" Mikey whisper-shouted at them. CoCo was intrested while Bloomer was, not so much.

"WELCOME, TO THE NEW AND IMPROVED CLOTHES PILE THAT I FOUND WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!"

As Mikey showed them it, CoCo clapped her hands and started giggling while Bloomer was Babbling angrilly for some reason.

"Don't feel bad Bloomer! It's for two!" Mikey said as he got out the two pillows from the basket and put the in the clothes-pile to rest. CoCo found it comfy and grabbed her pillow and Bloomer and cuddled up to sleep. Bloomer blabbered something and hugged up his pillow and blanket and stared at Mikey, trying to find out what he was doing.

"Don't feel bad Bloom! You're with Co-Co! You should get some rest. I know I want to."

Leo scoped for something to put Daisy on.

"Umm... the desk?"

"BIHBIUIIGKGYUVHHAAAAAAA!" Daisy blabbed angry at what Leo just said.

"Well, I don't know what to do! What to babies sleep on!?" Leo said only to fing Daisy, curled up in his arms, suggling to his plastron and snoring peacefully.

"I gues some sleep on their dads..." Wait, I'm a dad?! Oh man! Now I gotta be a leader, not just for his team, but for his daughter! He was going to panick, but he could panic in the morning. Right now, his focus was on Dase and sleep...

Master Splinter watch each of his sons take care of their child. He chuckled silently to himself. He was now a grandpa and he was going to be the best grandfather ever. He watched Lucy. It reminded him to much of Miwa, no Karai. He sighed at how his daughter betrayed her master to save them. It spoke to him that she is a good person, still. Splinter went into his room. And went to bed. He sons were changing everyday they went up to the surface, good or bad. And this change was a good one.

But little did they all know that their change, would change for the good, and the bad. The thing they needed to do, was observe and help, as much as they could.
