Grandma and Grandpa Calls were having tea in their apartment when they heard a knock on the door. Grandma Calls answered the door and let Leo, Mikey, and Raph inside.
"Everything all right?" Grandma Calls asked with concern.
"Chloe's water broke," Leo replied.
"Roger and Donny went with her to the hospital," Mikey chimed in.
"We came to bring to the hospital to see your great-grandsons when they're born," Raph said.
"Lead the way, then," Grandpa Calls said with a smile.
Chloe was in the birthing room with Roger, Donny, a nurse, and a doctor. She was hooked up to an IV and there was a water bottle nearby.
Chloe felt a contraction come on and she started breathing. Roger held her hand during the contraction and Donny gave her water after the contraction ended.
"That really hurt," Chloe said.
"You're doing great," Roger said.
"How far apart are the contractions?" Chloe asked.
"Right now they're ten minutes apart," Donny replied.
The turtles, along with Grandma and Grandpa Calls, were sitting in the waiting room. The receptionist had just told them that Chloe was currently in labor.
"How much longer are they going to be?" Mikey asked.
"I have no idea," Raph replied.
"It might take a while but it'll be worth the wait," Leo said.
"I was in labor with Chloe's dad for four hours," Grandma Calls recalled.
"Every time a contraction came on, she screamed and squeezed my hand tightly," Grandpa Calls recalled and Grandma Calls nodded in confirmation.
Chloe's contractions were currently four minutes apart. She felt ready to explode from all the pain.
"You're doing great so far, Chloe," Roger said.
"Remember to focus on your breathing during the contractions," Donny reminded Chloe.
"I'll do my best," Chloe said.
"We have another contraction coming soon," the nurse said.
When another contraction came on, Chloe screamed, "I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS! GET THESE BABIES OUT!"
"I just heard someone scream," Mikey said.
"It must be Chloe," Leo said.
"I hope everything's all right," Raph said with concern.
In the birth room, Chloe felt another contraction come on and screamed, "ROGER, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU DID THIS TO ME!"
"I hear women in labor say that a lot," the doctor told Roger.
"That makes me feel better," Roger said.
"Chloe, we're going to have you push on the next contraction," the nurse said.
"Everything's going to be fine," Donny said.
"I hope so," Chloe said.
