Chapter 3

"What happened? Is that Eden?! What happened to her why is she unconscious!?" April asked as she followed Raph with Don in tow. Don was busy trying to get the medical area ready while Raph set Eden on the table.

"I don't know! I was on my way home when I passed by your place and found a couple of thugs robbing your store. She was already unconscious by the time I stopped them." Raph said in an irritated tone at the same time calm April down. April went by Eden's side and caressed her face completely sadden by the look on it.

"Oh Eden, what did they do to you?" April looked over towards Don as he came with a first aid kit. "Where do you want me Don?" April shook off her sadness and became determined to help Eden. This was someone she had grown fond of, and to them badly hurt and lifeless as she was felt sickening to her stomach. "Here, get the needle and the stitching ready, your hands are smaller than mine." April did exactly as she was told, Don worked on cleaning and disinfecting the larger gash on Eden's eye brow. 'This was caused by a blunt weapon or hard surface.' He though and began examining her head and checking her eye dilation.

"Don, I got the needle ready." April carefully handed the needle to Don. With a skillful hand Don began making quick work of the wound expertly stitching the skin together making it seem so simple and not once grimacing when the needle went through the skin. April could only watch for a little while before looking the other way. Even after knowing the turtles and dating Casey one would think she would be use to stitches and blood.

After an hour Eden was cleaned up and sleeping soundly in the medical bed. Her bruised side of her face had swollen severely, Don couldn't really do much about that. April sat next to her bed, gazing upon her wondering what could have possibly happened that had gotten her into such a situation. April sighed and held her head. Don was coming in the room after finishing washing up and putting away the tools her just used not too long ago on Eden. Looking over towards April, he could relate to her situation right now. Many times had Raph come back banged up pretty good, and then there was the time Leo had come crashing into April's apartment window covered in bruises and cuts.

Don couldn't stand to see April so distressed, with all that's been happening with Casey and now her friend was lying still as death in the lair, all he wanted was to hold the woman he adored so dearly. Tell her things would be okay, comfort her, tell sweet nothings and make her feel worried free for once. Then it dawned on him, this was his chance to do exactly that. She needed someone to be her rock. He could defiantly be it.

April picked up her head and noticed Don had entered the room. She smiled, and couldn't help but feel butterflies flutter in her abdominal area. Blushing lightly she quietly stood up and went over to him. "Thank you, she's couldn't had better care anywhere else but by you of course."

"You know you should get to sleep too, you been helping me with her since she got here, you can take my bed if you want." April again felt the strange butterflies, 'What is this? Why am I feeling as if…am I?...' she thought.

"April?"

"Huh? Sorry what?"

"I asked if you would want more blankets because my room gets cold often." Don looked puzzled. April hardly spaced out unless something was bothering her. "Are you worried about your store? If you want I can check on it as soon as it starts getting dark. Raph made sure to lock before he came back."

April looked at Don before answering, then it happened. It all happened so quickly, yet at the same time it felt like everything stood still. April had caressed Don's cheeks, planting her lips on to his. For a moment she stopped only to find a better position. Completely shocked didn't know what to do, I mean for god sakes the woman of his dreams was kissing him and all he could do was stand there like an idiot.

April didn't feel a response, she began to pull back and then looked Don in the eyes, "I-I'm…sorry…I shouldn't have…" just about she was about to leave the room, Don reacted. Grabbing April he pulled her in, kissing her as if it was his dying breath. He wanted to not just tell her how he felt but show her exactly how much he loved her, how much he adored her, and how he wasn't just about to let her go without pouring out his devotion first. It took a little while to get their lips to be comfortable but soon they were both wrestling with each others tongues.

Gasping for oxygen, Don leaned into April having their foreheads touch intimately, April leaned up against him, "….April" "Don, I know…Casey and I…I know it hasn't been long but I feel something different with you…like it's always been there but—" Don kissed her interrupting her speak. Don pulled back and looked straight into her, "April, I love you, wait I take that back I absolutely adore you. More than anything…but the last thing I would want is this to be a rebound…there is nothing more I would want than to make this official and be together."

"Don, I would never do such a thing to you. I want this, more than anything…I was so stupid to not see it before...I care for Casey, but I want to move forward and I see that with you Donnie."

Don sighed, "You don't realize what you would be sacrificing…" "Don, my life is already not normal" "Yea, but we would never really settle down like you wanted to, I couldn't exactly live on the surface with like Casey did, I can't take you out on dates like Casey did, I wouldn't—" April kissed Don to keep him from rambling.

"I'm willing to make this work. I want you Don, not what Casey could have given me." Don smiled before just scooping her up and embracing her, enveloping her in his arms. April couldn't have felt more secure than what she was feeling now.
