During dinner we all listened to Kyle talk about his new room. He was so excited about it. I was washing the dishes, Kat was drying, and April and Chrissie were putting them away. They were all talking about everything that was going on in their lives. They all had jobs and things to do during the day while I was stuck here in the lair.
I listened to them talk for a while. After we finished the dishes I left, I had nothing to add to their conversation. I headed to the dojo to meditate. I set up the candles and sat on the floor. I felt myself relax when I was meditating I sometime was able to see thing. Usually they were memories but today it was different.
I broke out of my trance and sat on the floor for a while trying to figure out what I had seen. It wasn't making sense. I blew out the candles and put them away. I headed in to the kitchen for a glass of water.
I saw master splinter sitting in the kitchen drinking a glass of tea. I sat across from him and drank my water. We sat there in silence. There wasn't much to say. I walked to go to my bedroom but something stopped me instead I walked in to Kyle's room. I kissed him goodnight and told him that I was going to bed, but instead of going in to my room I went in to Raph's room and slept there. It was a couple hours later that I felt Raph slip in to bed and wrap his arms around me.
The next morning I had to go out with the girls to start to get some stuff for the baby. I bought a crib, play-pen, high chair, bottles, and diapers, while the girls went and bought everything to spoil this child too. In about 3 months I would be having my second child, a little girl.
After we bought everything we hauled it back to the lair. We drove to one spot where we knew we could fit the boxes in to the sewers and we had the guys meet us there. We spent a half an hour dragging all this stuff back to the lair but eventually we got it all there.
I started to set up the room that would be the nursery. I still had that feeling from the night before. I couldn't figure out what it was but it was bugging me. While I was working Leo came in, he was watching me work. He knew something was wrong but he was waiting for me to talk.
I looked over and sighed. I waved for him to come over. I had been holding in this feeling for a while. I took a deep breath and explained to him what was going on. How I had this feeling and I was scared I felt like something was going to happen.
We talked for a while and he told me not to worry. I hugged him after we had finished talking and headed in to the kitchen to make lunch. During the day I did most of the cooking while the other girls were out. I set lunch on the table I had made homemade pizza we hadn't had pizza in a while since it made me sick every time I smelt it. I had figured out it was the smell of the grease on the pizza that made me sick so I made pizza and called the boys in to the kitchen.
After lunch the boys offered to clean up and I went to relax. I had a lot on my mind with the baby and the bad feeling. I sat there rubbing my stomach and feeling the little kicks against my hands in certain spots.
Later I woke up in Raph room. I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep on the couch. I got up and walked out to the living room to see the guys going through all this equipment. The other girls were sitting on the couch watching them.
I recognized some of the equipment, it was the stuff used to monitor the baby, they had used on me when I was pregnant with Kyle. There were also a few other things that I didn't recognize. I walked in and sat on Raph's beanbag chair. I watched the guys get the equipment set up.
Once they had it all set up they moved it in to the room where Donnie use when one of the guys got hurt and need a treatment of some sort. Once it was all set up in their Donnie wanted to try it out. I lied back on the cot that he had in the room with Raph on one side of me holding my hand and Donnie on the other by the machine.
Donnie turned on the machine and put the gel on my stomach. I shivered when the gel touched my skin. He moved the wand around carefully till I saw the baby on the screen I looked to Raph and squeezed his hand. He kissed my forehead and just stared at the screen. I lied back and smiled watching Raph knowing we were a family.
Donnie went about going over the baby's vitals and checking everything out. Once everything was done Donnie handed me paper towel to clean my stomach. Raph took it from me and did it for me.
The rest of the day was spent lounging around the house watching Kyle, relaxing, setting up the nursery, and cleaning. Raph took me on a walk around the sewers around the lair and we talked and laughed like we use to. When we got back to the lair everyone was gone. I looked around the living room and saw a note saying that they were going to go get pizza and walk around the sewers.
I sat on the couch and Raph sat next to me. I looked over at him and he looked nervous. "Emily," he said "you are one of the most awesome girls I have ever met, when were together I am happier and when you're gone I feel like something is missing. When you were taken I didn't know what to do, I blamed myself for what happened, and that you were gone. I know that I love you and always will. So will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" As he finished he pulled out a small box and opened it to show this ring that I had pointed out to April years ago it was from a Disney engagement ring collection and it was the one for Belle.
I looked at Raph shocked. I couldn't believe it.
