Blue

This is an AU/Tcest/Mpreg story. Interested then read. Not your cup of tea. I can totally respect that, but pass my story by and don't get all preachy. To each their own.

I own nothing. Dammit to hell!

Chapter Ten

Raphael's Point of View:

My mate kept his word and allowed Donnie ta give him a full exam. Tha Genius was very gentle in how he went about tha physical by explainin' each step thoroughly ta Blue so he would understand exactly what Don was doin'.

"Ya just let me know if anythin' is too much for ya," I fretted as I watched Blue's face carefully, "I'll make Donnie stop if ya're feelin' overwhelmed."

"I'm okay, Raph," Leo assured me as he leaned back on a hospital bed that the head had been raised for my mate ta sit up, "Donnie is not making me uncomfortable."

"Leo, I'm going to ask you something that is assuredly going to make you uncomfortable," Donnie stated with clear reluctance as my mate and I frowned, "Would you allow me to examine your anal area so that I know if you suffered any tearing during your time with Bishop? I need to check you out and make sure that you had no serious complications from…the events that took place."

Blue blushed and looked down clearly stressed. It hurt ta see Leo gettin' upset, but I hoped that he would agree so that I could be reassured that I hadn't hurt my mate durin' tha time I wasn't in control of myself. It was somethin' that I had thought about and had been very worried of since findin' out about what happened between my mate and I.

"Are you sure that is necessary?" Blue asked as he kept his head down, "I…I haven't felt any pain…down there at all."

"Brother, I wouldn't have asked unless it was something that was important," Donnie sighed as my mate looked back up at him, "I'm so sorry to ask this of you, Leo."

"Please, Blue?" I asked as Leo looked over ta me, "I need ta know that I didn't do damage. Would ya do this for me?"

Blue shuddered for a moment before Fearless stepped forward and nodded tensely. Donnie covered Leo's lower half with a blanket and propped his legs up and apart. I had no idea that a wave of anger would rush through me at tha thought of Donnie lookin' at my mate in such a private way.

"Be quick," I snarled as Donnie looked up at me in surprise as he pulled on some special-made, rubber gloves, "Don't ya look at my mate too long down there. That is not an area for ya ta see under normal circumstances."

"Raph, I am not thrilled with this either," Donnie crabbed as I huffed, "I am the doctor of this family. I am only looking for professional reasons to keep my brother healthy. I would hate if an infection is forming and it affects Leo's baby."

"Then…then hurry and look," my mate stuttered, "Get this over with, Donnie."

Donnie nodded and slid tha blanket up ta check out Blue. My mate looked up at tha ceilin' and refused ta meet my eyes as Donnie began ta do whatever he was doin' down there.

"It's goin' ta be alright," I soothed as Blue winced and closed his eyes as I held both of his hands within my own, "Are ya done yet, Donnie? You're hurtin' my mate and that is pissin' me off. What tha shell are ya doin' down there?"

"None of your business and I'm done," Donnie stated as he snapped off his gloves and helped Leo lower his legs back down, "Everything looks fine and there was little to no tearing that occurred. I see no scarring."

"Great," Leo gritted out as he blushed, "I'm so happy."

Donnie began ta get some medical machine hooked up when I noticed a look on Blue's face that I recognized and I barely got a wastebasket up in time as my mate began ta gag and vomit.

"Whoa! Shell!" Donnie gasped as he hurried over ta help me with Blue, "Leo, just relax and let it all out. I know this was hard for you. Get everything out of your system, Bro."

"LH, is right," I grunted as Leo's latest bout of mornin' sickness tapered off while Donnie and I supported my mate's torso, "Ya can't handle stress too well right now."

"Shut up," Blue groaned as Donnie took tha wastebasket away as I eased him back down on his pillow, "You think about your little brother examining you down there and see if you don't get sick to your stomach whether you're pregnant or not."

Donnie and I exchanged looks and did indeed understand.

"That's all done with, right, Donnie?" I demanded as tha Genius went back ta fiddlin' with tha same piece of medical equipment, "Blue is a male and will not be givin' birth from his nether regions so that is tha last time that ya got ta see my mate down there, right?"

"Right," Donnie agreed as I watched Blue breathe out a sigh of relief, "That is the last time you have to go through that, Leo."

"Thank God," Blue sighed as he closed his eyes for a moment, "I don't think I could go through that again."

"Leo, we are just going to do an ultrasound now and take a look at your baby," Donnie offered as my mate perked up.

"We can see the baby?" Leo asked clearly excited.

"Fetus will be tiny and not completely formed, but we will see the little one," Donnie smiled out as Leo sat up straighter with a tentative grin that was good to see, "Hold still."

I watched as Don spread some goop on Leo's stomach area and began ta move a wand-thin' against his plastron as if he was searchin' for somethin'. I saw a grainy image flickerin' on a small screen and then jumped as a thumpin' noise filled tha air.

"I'll be damned," Donnie grinned out.

"What?" Blue asked as he sat up even straighter, "Is that the heartbeat? Why does it sound like that? Is there something wrong with my baby?"

"Nope," Don giggled as he looked ta me, "Congratulations, Mr. Stud, you've knocked your mate up with twins."

Leo and I gasped loudly and I barely made it inta a chair before my knee gave out. Twins? Blue was carryin' twins?

"Look, Leo. Do you see the two, little hearts beating right here?" Donnie asked as my mate leaned in closer, "Those are your babies and I can see the carapaces beginning to form. You're hearing both of the babies' hearts beating."

"Twins," Blue breathed, "Donnie, are you sure?"

"As sure as I know that we are all green," Donnie chuckled as I continued gapin'.

"I can't believe this," my mate whispered as he traced a finger on tha screen before lookin' towards me and rollin' his eyes, "Two, little imps. Raphael Hamato, you are going to be the death of me."

"I-I didn't…it wasn't…twins?" I stuttered and then froze when Leo threw his head back and began ta laugh hard.

"Now that's a nice sound," my purple-banded brother chuckled as I nodded.

Donnie and I smiled as we hadn't heard our brother laughin' like this in several months. Mikey and Master Splinter came inta tha room and looked curious as Leo continued ta howl on tha examination table with tears of amusement runnin' down his face.

"My son, I am glad to hear your laughter, but what has you so amused?" Father asked as Leo got himself back under control.

"Why don't you ask that Beast over there?" Blue snickered as he pointed ta me.

I blinked as everyone turned ta me and I shrugged helplessly.

"Well?" Mikey demanded as Donnie and Leo grinned.

"T-two," I blurted as Mikey and our father looked confused and turned ta my mate.

"I'm expecting twins," Leo announced and I jumped as Mikey squealed happily.

"I want to see! I want to see!" our baby brother cried and settled when Donnie again located tha two, tiny lives that were growin' in my mate's stomach and we all listened ta tha dual heartbeats.

"Two blessings," Master Splinter sniffled out as he watched tha screen while Leo looked proud and a little nervous, "Are my grandbabies healthy?"

"Parent and babies are all doing well," Donnie announced as he cleaned my mate of tha goop and allowed Blue ta sit back up, "I still want you on bed rest, Leo. Twins mean that this pregnancy should be handled with even more care."

"Okay," my mate agreed as he placed his hand on his stomach and smiled softly, "I understand."

I tried ta stand, but tha world swirled and I lost all sense of anythin' as tha world went black.

Leonardo's Point of View:

I looked up in time to see Raphael pass out cold. I know I should be concerned, but I couldn't help the bark of laughter that escaped me. Big, bad Raph taken out by the news that he was going to be the father of twins. Ha!

"Is he okay?" I giggled out as Donnie checked Raph over while Mikey fanned his older brother's face with a magazine he had grabbed off of a desk.

"Right as rain," Donnie answered with a chuckle, "Took the news of what happened to you two with controlled ease, stepped up when he found out about your pregnancy like a champ, but faints at the idea of twins. I'm loving this."

"No teasing," I snickered out before thinking for a moment, "Okay. No over the top teasing."

"Party pooper," Donnie hissed before cowing at Sensei's stern look, "Mikey, help me lift Raph onto that cot against the wall. He should wake on his own in a little bit."

I shook my head as I stood from the bed with Father's assistance and frowned when Donnie looked up at me and nearly dropped Raph on his head.

"What are you doing?" Donnie demanded.

"I'm going back to my room," I soothed, "I'm tired."

"I will assist your brother," Master Splinter assured, "Do not drop Raphael, Donatello, he may seem hardheaded, but I do not want you to physically test that theory."

I smiled at Father's joke. Raph really was a hardheaded individual, but it does seem that finally there was something that even took him by surprise. Sensei walked me back to my room and helped me into bed despite the fact that I didn't need the assistance. He sat in Raph's chosen chair and took my hand.

"Child, you have been through so much. It has been a joy to see you smile again," Father sighed as I grinned at him, "I have been meaning to sit with you and ask about how you are doing mentally. You realize that your fears that you were holding within yourself before we knew of your pregnancy were never grounded in truth now, right?"

"Yes, Father," I agreed, "I feel…how to explain it? Safe. Accepted. I didn't want to hurt the family, but…."

"What, Leonardo?" Sensei asked.

"I didn't want anyone to hurt my baby either…or babies now, huh?" I offered before looking down at my stomach, "I would have left the clan if it had been necessary to protect my young. It was a decision I had decided on if you and the others couldn't accept that Raph was the parent of my child…um…children."

"You are going to make an excellent father," Master Splinter complimented as I blushed, "Sleep, my son. You must take good care of yourself right now so that I can hold my grandbabies in my arms one day."

I laid back and smiled again when Father kissed my forehead before leaving me in my room to rest. I heard Raph coming before my door even swung open about thirty minutes later.

"Feeling better?" I teased as Raph glared half-heartedly.

"Shut up, Blue," the red-banded turtle murmured before sitting on the edge of my bed and placing a hand on my stomach, "Twins."

"Mmhm," I hummed as I allowed Raph to stroke my lower plastron.

"I had told everyone ta keep their voices down because ya were sleepin' for two whenever ya got some sleep," Raph chuckled, "Blue, ya were sleepin' for three. Two babies are growin' in there! Hi, Babies! Welcome ta tha family."

It was endearing how excited Raph looked as he continued to stroke my lower plastron. I don't think I had any worries now that Raph wouldn't be a good father.

"I'd like ta kiss ya now," Raph admitted as my eyes flew to his face in surprise, "May I?"

"Raph, you don't have to do this?" I breathed.

"Do what?" Raph inquired with a raised-eye ridge.

"Look, I'm pregnant with your twins, but you do not have to promise your life to me," I counseled, "You don't owe me anything, Raph. You are as much a victim in this as I am."

"Ya think that I am callin' ya my mate because ya think that I feel that I owe ya for what I did?" Raph demanded as I nodded, "Shell no, Blue! I'm callin' myself ya mate because that is what I am. I know now that I've been searchin' and wantin' ya for a long time. I love ya and our twins. Will ya let me prove it ta ya?"

I blinked up at my brother in wonder. It was shocking to realize that he meant every word. The truth was that I had always harbored a secret attraction for Raphael. I had denied these feelings for years since Raph and I had been raised as brothers, but when he had declared that I was his mate, hope had flared. That hope died when I decided that Raph was only doing this since he felt responsible, but my fears had just been laid to rest. Finally, I nodded and gasped as Raph leaned in and kissed me. His tongue swirled in my mouth and I moaned as the kiss grew deeper.

"I love ya, Blue," Raph sighed as he pulled away, "It doesn't matter ta me if we never have sex again or ya can't return my love in that way, but I will always be at your side. That is where I belong."

I bit my lip as I looked up at the red-banded turtle. There was one more truth I had to tell.

"There is something you need to know. We've had sex here in the lair," I blurted as Raph grunted like he had been punched, "It happened when you were sleepwalking one night and you took me by surprise."

"Shell, I woke one mornin' thinkin' that I had been with someone! Did I force ya again?" Raph growled looking upset.

"No," I denied, "I…I think you were looking for me in your sleep and followed my scent. When you were under that drug in that lab, it was all about the rutting and despite the fact that I did feel some pleasure at the intercourse it was hard to accept, but when you came to me that night…you were so gentle and your touches felt…um…good. It was the first time you kissed me and it was just like how you kissed me just now. I swore it would never happen again because you are my brother."

Raph pulled back and looked down as I sat up and jerked him forward to give him a kiss of my own. My brother eagerly returned the kiss before we broke apart.

"I think I'm falling in love with you," I sniffled as I shook in Raph's arms feeling disgusted at how overly emotional I was acting thanks to the pregnancy, "Looking back on things, I think I have been for a long time. I can't promise you that I will ever be ready to be with anyone like that again, but if you will have me for your mate, then I accept as long as you swear to protect my babies too."

"I swear ta protect tha three of ya until my dyin' day," Raph agreed as he rubbed his hands up and down my trembling arms, "I ain't ever lettin' ya go, Blue. Ya're mine."

I nodded and allowed Raph to wrap me in his arms. I yawned and my new mate eased me back down and I fell asleep feeling secure in the knowledge that the nightmare of what happened to me because of Bishop was in the past to be forgotten forever.

To be continued…
