Chapter 7

We had been at the cottage for a week. April was extremely upset due to our mother's death. Raph and I had barely talked and I had spent every night much like tonight sitting in my room on my bed holding the envelope and present my dad had given me. I couldn't do it tonight I don't know why I was having such a hard time but I was. I put the box and envelope away just as I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I told whoever was there as I sat on my bed with my book. Much to my surprise it was Leo.

"Um hey." I said not really knowing what to say.

"Hey." He said nervously.

"Did you need something?" I asked as he was looking around my room.

"I'm sorry." He said leaving me confused.

"Sorry for what." I asked as I motioned for him to sit with me on the bed.

"For the way that I've treated you." He says looking down at his hands.

"Leo." I said taking his hands in mine causing him to look at me. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Nothing alright, you were doing what you thought was best for your family. I'm not mad." I said with a smile. Leo smiled back just as I got off the bed Leo pulled me back causing me to look at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" I asked not sure what was going on.

"Wait here." He said as he got off the bed and went to the door to shut it all the way locking it. He walked over to me pulled me off the bed and pined me up against the wall. I cried out in pain.

"What are you doing?" I shouted before he covered my mouth.

"I'd shut up if I were you." Leo said as he pressed up against me as the tears started to flow. I started to scream against his hand but he just slapped me across the face causing me to cry out in pain. He held me tighter against the wall as he started kissing my neck as his hands roamed over my body. I tried to push him away but he was too strong for me.

"Let go." I screamed at him as the tears were coming.

"Don't think so." He said next thing I know the door was being knocked down as Raph was dealing with him. I just slid to the floor and started crying. April came over to me and held me as she rocked me back and forth.

"Raphael enough, go to Summer my son." Master Splinter says as he puts a hand on Raph who snaps out of it and turns facing me. He runs to me and holds on to me, the same way I hold on to him.

"Leonardo what is the meaning of your actions." Master Splinter asks him, as Raph helps me stand up. I lean against him for support as I face Splinter and Leo. He doesn't say anything he just stands there. Looking at me with pure hatred Raph comes and stands in front of me protectively.

"Leonardo, either you answer or you leave." Master Splinter says to him looking very distraught.

"Fine I'll leave." Leo says as I step from the side of Raph slightly only to have Leo toss a dagger at me going straight through my throat.

I shot up out of bed with a scream. I looked around my room to see that I was ok that everyone was ok. Before I knew it Raph runs into my room.

"You ok, what happened we heard you scream from outside." Raph says checking me over.

"Fine, just a bad dream." I said in barely a whisper as the tears started to fall. Raph held me as I cried, happy to be here alive with him.

"You're ok, you're ok, I'm not gonna let anyone hurt ya." He tells me as he kisses the top of my head.

"My child what was the dream about that had frightened you so." Master Splinter asks but I couldn't turn around to face him, I was too scared that I would see Leo and the tears would really start.

"It was nothing." I said holding on to Raph tighter.

"Sum come on lay down alright." Raph said as he tried to loosen my grip.

"I don't want to be alone." I said to him.

"I'll stay with ya." He said as I laid down.

"You guys can go I'll take care of her." Raph says to them puting the covers over me as I start to cry again.

"Man that dream must have scared here." Mikey said.

"Apparently shell-for-brains." Raph says sounding annoyed.

"You need anything Raph you come get us alright." April says to him.

"I will thanks Ape." Raph says as I hear the door shut. Raph sighs and lies down next to me. I turn over to face him. I start tracing random patterns over his chest. As the tears subsided.

"Are you still mad at me?" I asked him avoiding and eye contact with him.

"I'm not mad at you Sum, I'm mad at me." He said I looked up at him confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused.

"I could have protected ya, and I didn't, I broke my promise to you twice I…I….." He was going to continue but I cut him off.

"Raph." I said looking at him. "You met me after it happened and if I knew you before it happened you can't blame yourself for it. It wasn't your fault." I said looking him in the eyes.

"I love you." He told me making me smile.

"I love you too." I said as we learned in to kiss. I smiled into the kiss as Raph rolled us over so he was on top.

"What is it with you we can't even kiss anymore without you wanting to have sex." I said smiling.

"Can you blame me?" He said causing me to laugh. As he started to kiss my neck. Next thing you knew we were making love.

I woke up to find Raph looking at me smiling.

"Morning." He said as he leant down to kiss me which I eagerly returned.

"Morning." I said once I pulled away.

"So how was your night?" He asked casually causing me to laugh.

"Fine." I said with a smirk.

"Just fine." He asks in disbelief. I smile and give him a quick kiss.

"Correction it was amazing." I said as I kissed him again. "And how was yours." I asked.

"No words can describe how amazing it was." He said smiling as he kissed me again.

"We should probably get up." I said to him. He nodded and helped me up as I headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I walked out I saw him waiting for me I smiled and headed to my closet where I grabbed a change of clothes and headed back into the bathroom to change. Once I walked out he walked over to me and smiled as he gave me a quick kiss before taking my hand and dragging me out to the living room where everyone was sitting. They all turned only to have everyone turn to look at us.

"What?" I asked

"Nothing, just never pictured you as a screamer Sum." Mikey says leaving me look at him with my mouth hanging open.

"Excuse me." I said in almost a growl like sound.

"Nothing." Mikey says in barely a whisper obviously scared. I shake my head and pull my hair up only to hear April gasp. I finish tying my hair before I turned to face her.

"What now?" I asked April.

"Yo dudette what's that on your neck." Mikey said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I walked over towards the mirror in the hallway to see what they were talking about. When I looked in the mirror I saw that on the side of my neck there was a huge hickey. I screamed when I saw it. I was never going to live this down I thought.

"Oh my God." I said in shock. I quickly put my hair down trying to cover it. Raph walked up and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.

"Sorry babe." He said I just smiled.

"It's not your fault I'm a screamer." I said trying to lighten the mood he laughed and kissed my neck. I quickly turned around.

"Let's not do that until it disappears alright." I said he nodded and gave me a kiss. We walked into the living room where I saw April's purse and started going through it.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Yea where the hell is your make up bag it's always in here." I said going through it. When I was going through her bag I spotted something , the pill I gasped me and Raph didn't use protection.

"Oh shit." I said as I realized how major this was. "April." I said to her.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"I have a small issue." I said in a tiny voice.

"What type of an issue?" She asked as I took her hand and dragged her into my room leaving everyone looking at us confused,

"Women." I heard Raph mumble.
"I heard that." I shouted causing everyone to laugh. When April and I went in my room I shut the door and locked it and started pacing.

"Sum you got to stop I'm getting dizzy, what the hell's the matter." April asked.

"Well um….when me and….me and Raph ……you know …..um …had sex…..we…..we….didn't……we didn't use protection." I said causing her to look at me wide eye.

"YOU WHAT." She screamed. "Are you crazy Sum you could…..you could be." She started but I knew she wasn't going to say it.

"Pregnant." I finished for her in a whisper.

"Exactly, my god I thought you had more common sense than that." She said now she was pacing and I was sitting on the bed.

"Alright here's what we are going to do." She said as she stopped pacing and turned towards me. "When is your period due?"

"Next week." I said

"Okay well if you don't get it by next week we will go out and buy a test alright." She said heading towards the door.

"April." I called before she left.

"Yea."

"Don't tell anyone, please." I asked her.

"Trust me honey I'm not gonna be the one to tell them if you are." She said I smiled as she left

It had been one week and I was still late. I thought a couple of times about telling Raph but I couldn't. I just took the test and April and me were in her room waiting for the results. The timer went off and April walked over to the test, she sighed and handed me the test, I looked down at it and saw the little pink line saying that I was pregnant. I felt my life flash before my eyes. I got up out of the room, into the living room where I saw Raph sitting. He saw me and smiled I motioned for him to follow me into my room. When he got there he shut the door and came in behind me.

"What's wrong." He asked.

"Raph we need to talk." I told him.

"What is it, what's the matter?" He asked coming closer.

"I'm pregnant." I said to him.

(A/N: You know most authors would stop here and I was considering it but I think I'll keep going just for the hell of it.)

"What?" He asked.

"I said I'm pregnant." I said with tears running down my cheeks. I hung my head afraid to look at him. Out of nowhere I'm being swung through the air.

"I love you." Raph said over and over again as he kissed me. I pulled away slightly leaving him confused.

"You're not angry." I asked him confused.

"Summer why the hell would I be angry you're pregnant with my baby. I'm gonna be a dad." He said the last part in a whisper as his hand went to my stomach. I smiled at him as he kissed me.

"Come on lets go tell everyone." He said like a kid on Christmas. He started towards the door but I just stood there. He turned towards me." You comin'." He asked.

"Raph they're gonna hate me." I said. He walked over to me and took my face in his hands.

"Sum they won't hate you, hell I even think Leo will be a little excited about becoming an uncle." Raph said before he gave me a quick kiss. He took my hand and led me into the living room where everyone was sitting.

"Guys can we talk to you for a sec." I said grabbing everyone's attention.

"Sure what's up guys?" Don said. I nodded towards Raph so he would tell them.

"Summer's pregnant. I'm gonna be a dad." Raph said causing the whole room to gasp. Here we go I thought.
