The weeks flew by quickly and once April started to show, she and Raphael decided that it would be best for her to move into the lair. The last thing that any of them wanted was for the foot clan to kidnap April and hurt her or the baby.

Splinter and the rest of the turtles took the news of April's pregnancy surprisingly well, even Donatello. Despite the past, he still loved his brother and April and when she asked him to become her doctor, he was honored. He quickly dove into studying pregnancy and child birth for both humans and turtles. Don knew that this pregnancy was very unique and that none of them, educated or not, would know what to expect.

After days of working, Don finally managed to perfect the sonogram machine that he had been working on. It helped that he had been to get an old, used machine to fix up instead of having to build on from nothing. Maybe now they could get a look at what was happening on the inside of his best friend. He picked up his shell phone and dialed April's number.

"Hey Don, what's up?" April answered.

"Hey. I was just letting you know that I finally finished the sonogram machine. You can head on over with Raph if you'd like."

"Oh wow, okay, we will be there in a bit. I'm so excited. See you in a few." She replied. He could hear her smile in her voice which made him happy.

He knew now that they were not meant to be. As crazy as it seemed and as different as they were, April and Raphael were made for each other. While Donatello still loved her, he could now say that he was no longer in love with her and that was a very freeing feeling.

After getting off the phone, Don quickly began to set up the machine in his office. After April asked him to become her doctor, he and Leo had managed to build a private office for her checkups and for the birth. He figured that she would appreciate the privacy of a separate room and since Don had his own place, they didn't have to worry about Mikey trying to catch a peek of the now 'extremely hot because of pregnancy hormones' April.

When the perimeter alarms blared loudly, Don knew that April and Raphael had arrived. He quickly shut them off and let the couple in. Before he was able to greet them, he could hear April's raised, aggravated voice.

"I swear to God Raphael...if you EVER again laugh at how I walk while carrying YOUR child, I'll make it so that you waddle for the rest of your damn life!" April said as she turned and walked by Donatello. "Oh, hi Donny."

Raph shrugged his shoulders at his brothers questioning eyes and both followed the angry woman to Donatello's makeshift office. "Gez, what did you say to make her mad this time?" Don whispered. The two stopped as April walked into the private room.

"All I did was crack a joke bout her waddling an she snapped at me, man."

"And you didn't give her any sass back. Maybe there is a brain up in that hard head of yours." Raphael sent his brother a glare that sent chills up his shell. "Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood."

"It's alright. I just have to deal with it. Cause if you think that was somethin, you should see her when she's really pissed. I'm a ninja an all but she scares the shit out of me." Raph said as he rubbed the back of his head as his brother patted his shell, letting him know that it would be ok.

"Alright April, lets get you up on the table." Don said as he and Raph walked into the office. Raphael helped her up on the table and then backed away so Donatello could have room to work.

"So...do you have any idea what this pregnancy and delivery is going to be like?" April asked.

"No, unfortunately I don't. Because your situation is so unique, we're going to have to wing it. Right now the only thing that we can find out is if you are carrying a baby like a human would or if you are carrying an egg like a turtle." The couple nodded and Donny started prepping to do an ultrasound. "Okay then. I'll need you to lift up your shirt and lay back."

April did as she was told then reached her hand out towards Raphael. He took her hand and walked to the opposite of the table as his brother. The gel that Don squirted onto her abdomen was cold and gave her goosebumps. April took a deep breath in and looked over to Raphael. He smiled his usual cocky smile and looked up the machine's display screen.

Before she could turn her head back towards the screen, a steady beat filled silence of the room. April's eyes grew wide and she quickly looked to the display screen. Even though she had never seen an ultrasound before, there was no denying what that black and white picture was. "That's..." Her words were lost to her but Donatello understood and nodded his head.

"Yes April, that's your baby and it's heartbeat." Her breath was taken away and she wore a smile from ear to ear. April looked up and Raphael and her heart skipped a beat. The man she loved had a look in his eyes that she had never seen before. Absolute and overwhelming amazement.

"That's our baby, Raph. That's our baby." April said as she squeezed his hand. He smiled back at her and then kissed her forehead.

"Well, looks like there is just a baby and no egg, which is a good thing. According to your last cycle, by human standards, you should be about 10 weeks pregnant. But you look and measure as if you are more than half way along. I think...I think I might be able to tell you what you're having." Don adjust and pushed his glasses farther up on his face.

"Really? I don't even see how you can tell what you're looking at in the first place." Raphael laughed.

"That's why I'm the genius brother and you're the hot headed one," the turtle in purple snickered," anyways, from the looks of it, you two will be having a little girl."
