Mikey woke up the next morning finding that he was snuggled against Raph. He smiled as he thought about his current state of health. Man I can't believe it's almost over, I lost like 40 to 50 pounds I know it. No sweets for two weeks I think I can live with that, because I don't want to be sick again. He looks at Raph well at least not as sick as I've been. I like being sick my bros let me cuddle with them. I like to be held and comforted by them; they don't understand sometimes just how much I need it.
He snuggles closer to Raph and closes his eyes again. Man I love this, is the thought on his mind when he falls asleep. When he awoke again Leo and Donnie where coming in with breakfast. "Hey Mikey your up good, before you eat I want to check everything out again ok."
He just nods at Donnie and Raph gets up and moves off the bed to get his and Mikey's food. Donnie sits in Raph's spot and does all the normal checkups. He didn't draw blood today he figured he would wait until tomorrow or the next day seeing as how he just drew some yesterday.
"Well so far all's good we'll just do blood work in a couple of days to see if it's completely gone."
The other three breathed a sigh of relief. They all sat down to eat breakfast, and enjoy each others company again. After they had finished and Raph and Leo where cleaning up; April came in and said that Donnie's computer was receiving a message. Don left and found that it was from the Utrom home world. During the 30 minute conversation they discussed Mikey's current state of health, fresh air and healthy food to be the only cure, and a few unrelated theories. Don told them that as soon as Mikey's blood is all clear he would let them know.
Donnie saw Leo in the kitchen and said, "The professor and Mortu's findings match those of mine and April's."
Leo responded, "So we need to keep Mikey in the fresh air and feed him healthy foods until his system is clear."
"Pretty much", Don said as they both made their way upstairs.
Mike and Raph weren't in the room, Don and Leo looked at each other, and said in unison, "Outside."
Sure enough they were outside. Mikey was giggling about something when they went to where he was sitting. They followed his gaze to where Raph was kicking his legs behind him high enough to kick his rear. He was muttering to himself and they couldn't pick up what he was saying. Both looked at Mikey about ready to ask him what was going on.
He looked up and said, "He's beating himself up for getting angry and locked into solitary when we where in space. All I wanted to do was come outside and enjoy the sunshine, I get set on the swing propped up, and given a show." He laughed again.
Raph walked back over once he seen the others staring at him with Mikey. He slowly sat down next to Mikey, he knew he would have bruises from a couple of them he hit himself pretty hard. They just stared at him dumbfounded as to what to say, but Mikey said it all.
"Things happen that we cannot control, so don't beat yourself up; I got sick it happens all the time we all know that."
They all blinked at Mikey unsure of what to say. Raph scooted closer and wrapped Mikey in a hug. Donnie went to the other side and gave Mikey a hug. Leo stood behind them, placed his chin on Mikey's head, and his hands on Raph and Don's shoulders. Mikey was happy and content being embraced by all his brothers.
"It's crazy the only time we act like this is when one of us is sick, we should hug more often", Mikey said.
"We need to do this more often", Don responded.
"We will", Leo and Raph said.
"Promise because I like this", Mikey replied.
"It's a promise", his three elder siblings said.
They spent the day in each other's company. They went to a lake close by, with a picnic lunch, blankets, etc. April, Casey, and Splinter stayed behind letting the brothers enjoy some quality time with each other. When they got to the lakeLeo put the blankets on the ground spreading them out. Raph sat down and propped Mikey up against his side, he noticed that he didn't lean on him so heavily now. Lastly Donnie brought out the food for them to eat. After they ate Donnie pulled out The Hobbit and began reading, after about an hour they decided to swim in the lake. Leo stayed close to the bank with Mikey and sat down. Raph and Donnie were swimming around, and Mikey just leaned against Leo and took a cat nap.
When Mikey woke again it was getting dark, he thought to himself that he must've been more tired than he thought. Don opened the door smiling at Mikey, he and the others came in with food as usual. Mikey smiled, "Sorry I fell asleep earlier."
"No problem bro", Leo told him.
Mikey attempted and succeeded in sitting up on his own. He beamed with happiness, and his brothers smiled. They ate while Donnie read from the book again. He stopped reading when he noticed Mikey's eyes get heavy as he was slowly drifted off to sleep. Don and Raph took their dishes downstairs to the kitchen. When they came back up Mikey was using Leo's stomach as a pillow and had a hold of his hand. They both smiled and climbed into bed wrapping an arm around Mikey. The next two days go by in pretty much the same way.
