Theory: Leonardo's body remutated to have a uterus that way he could support a life inside of him, he also no matter how gross it sounds basically had the birth canal shift to his backside's exit and it the infant will be pushed out through his butt, it will widen at least 4 inches to push a soft shelled infant out, and the infants shell would harden in the air while leo's body went back to normal best it could.
GHG: please no picking at our theory, we have tried and will keep trying to pretend its sound. And sorry for interrupting katt's notes. And yes his water does break even if we never mentioned it.

Raph growled as he watched the news, the foot clan had struck again; they had robbed another high tech store! what was Karai planning?
He stood up and paced as he thought, pacing seemed to help his thinking these days.
Some reason Karai was stealing and buying all kinds of High tech stuff. She said one the news to aid people of the fair city, he highly doubted, she had to be plotting something.
"Hey Raph, what's new in the news?" Mikey asked as he walked over.
"The foot ninja stole some more high tech equipment" he grumbled his hands curling into fists on the couches arms.
"And then she 'claims' that it's to help the city." Raph snorted.
"I guess she's taking her dads legacy of tricking everyone one in New York up," said mikey a frown on his lips.
Mikey shook his head. "How can the humans be so stupid." He sighed. "How's Leo?"
"Sleeping its almost the due date so he's kinda tired," said raph with a sigh
Mikey nodded. "Don said mother's do more sleeping then staying awake closer they get." He agreed.
Raph rubbed his forehead "well let's hope Leo doesn't see the news other wise he'll never rest the week the baby's born"
"So that's why you're keeping the volume down?" Mikey asked with a snicker. Raph shot him a look.
"You want him to run himself ragged?" said raph his dirty look still on mikey "We better patrol longer tonight just incase the foot are planning another robbery" added raph
Mikey nodded. Raph sighed. "Damn, Leo's so hyped up about getting back into training after the kids born, barely convinced him he had to stay down a week afterward. I kinda can't blame him, but..."
"Yeah, just imagine if it was you raph, you would have gone crazy before the third month" said mikey with a chuckle
Raph shot him a glare. "Yeah and I'm sure you'd just revel in the idea of being allowed to laz around all the time." He rolled his eyes.
Mikey smiled at his brother not daunted "So should we wake Leo up for dinner or just let him sleep?"
"I dunno. Hey Donny? Should we wake Leo for dinner or let him sleep?" He asked, still unsure half the time.
"I guess we should after he eats Leo can go back to bed," said Donny
Raph nodded. "I'll wake him!" Mikey offered, a little more excited then needed.
Raph raised his eye ridge a frown on his lips "Mikey if you do anything stupid I will hurt you." warned raph
Mikey sobered up, he knew the seriousness even if he still tried to be his goofy self. "I won't, I promise." He said.
"Good" said raph watching mikey head up the stairs ready to wake Leo up
Mikey looked in the pairs room, and found Leo asleep, half on his side, half on his shell, with the blanket down around the shoulders. Mikey stepped inside the room.
"Hey Leo, its time for dinner" he said softly shaking his brother lightly
Leo groaned softly, and mumbled before he opened his eyes. "It is?" He said softly, he sounded tired even though he slept most of the day away.
"Yeah, you want to have some or more sleep?" asked mikey
Leo nodded, and sat up, getting to his feet, ignoring Mikey who hovered nearby. "What're we having?" He asked.
"Were having some pasta and garlic bread," replied mikey
Leo nodded, and headed out the room and downstairs, waving off Mikey's assistance, even if his progress down the stairs was slow, he could feel his stomachs and the child's protests at being hungry.
He spotted his mate sitting on couch waiting for him
"I see Mikey gotcha up without incident." Raph remarked, and got a withering look from said turtle.
Leo gave a soft smile and small semi tired nod before heading for the kitchen just wanting to eat and go back to bed.
Raph, Mikey and eventually Donny followed him. Splinter followed as well.
Leo took his seat swatting away any help from the others, he really hated it that they kept coddling him, but soon it would be over
"Another thing I won't miss when this kids out." He mumbled, as he took a bite to eat.
Raph sighed sitting next to his mate starting to eat as well, splinter smiled at this eating his own meal
They all ate in silent for a bit.
Raph finished his food first taking it to the sink putting it in
Leo sighed, as he was one of the last to finish.
He got up putting his dish in the sink watching his brother's head out for what he knew was patrol; they always went on patrol after dinner He walked to the kitchen door and watched them get ready to leave. "Good luck guys." He called to them.
Raph nodded to Leo before he vanished out of the lair door with Donny and mikey
Leo sighed; it wouldn't be long before he could go out on patrols with them again he reminded himself.
The baby lightly shifted now that it had been fed it was trying to make him go back to bed; he rubbed his belly yawning a little
He looked to Splinter. "I'm headed back to bed." He said. Splinter nodded and watched him head back up to the room.
Leo walked up the stairs closing his door feeling his eyelids droop with tiredness; he pulled off his mask laying it on the table sitting on the bed before lying down He rubbed his eyes before he grabbed the blanket again and pulled it over himself, and shifted till he found a comfortable position.
He closed his eyes drifting off relaxed his breathing evening out. Little did he know later was going to be less than relaxing
Splinter moved to watch TV while he could, enjoying the peaceful silence of the lair at the moment.
After an hour of quiet leo woke up huge pains shooting through him, he remained still thinking it was just false labor again, but it only got faster and more painful the more he waited
He moaned and whimpered as he squeezed his eyes shut. "Master Splinter?!" He painfully managed when he realized it wasn't going away or getting better.
Splinter ran up the stairs after hearing his son's distress "Leonardo what is wrong?" asked splinter seeing his son clutching his stomach
"I-I don't know, ahhh, I don't think these are false labor pains," he moaned out.
"I'll be back in a moment with the supplies," said splinter becoming serious within a moment, sprinting down the stairs
Leo nodded. and continued to hold his stomach, wishing it wasn't so painful. Splinter considered if he had time to call his other sons back home.
He gathered the supplies quickly grabbing the cell shell the left behind hitting in Donatello's number
"Master Splinter, something wrong?" Don asked when he picked up. "I suggest you three get back to the lair as soon as possible, Leonardo appears to of gone into labor."
"Yes sensei, we'll be back in a sec," said Donny hanging up his side of the line, splinter ran upstairs ready to help his son
Leo was rolled onto his shell; half sitting up with his eyes squeezed shut.
"Leonardo sit up," said splinter putting the supplies on table by the bed. "Spread you legs apart, the baby cannot come out if you have them curled like that," said splinter in a commanding yet soothing tone
Leo nodded and did as he was told. He gritted his teeth as he felt another hard contraction.
Splinter handed him two pills "Your brother Donatello said theses would dull some of the pain" leo nodded numbly taking the pills from his father popping them in his mouth swallowing hoping what donny said was true.
He was relieved to feel the pain dull to a more manageable level.
Leo still gripped the side of the bed "Push Leonardo, push" said splinter egging on his pained son holding up his legs.
Leo gritted his teeth as he pushed hard with the next contraction, given a pause, and then pushing with the next one.
Raph, mikey and Donny ran up the stairs to Leo's room after hearing a loud groan of pain coming from it
Raph was the first to run in. Splinter glanced up at their entrance, since Leonardo seemed to be paying to little else then the dulled pain.
He pushed again the pain still shooting through him even if it was dulled he didn't like it, he grunted as the contraction finished another one starting a second later
"Anything we can do?" Raph asked. Leo moaned as he pushed with the next contraction, it was an experience he hoped he wouldn't have again in a while.
"Support your brother, hold his hand, because he is going through more pain then any of you have felt before" said splinter, donny came over to splinter helping him Raph nodded and moved over to his mate, sitting next to him as he supported him, as well as holding his hand. Mikey stood back and watched at a loss.
"My son, if you wish to do something help donatello and I" said splinter looking up at mikey before Leo had another contraction, Leo whimpered squeezing raph's hand Mikey nodded and moved over to assist Splinter and Don. "I think I see the head." Don said.
"Come on Leonardo, push," said splinter now also seeing the head
Don moved up to help the kid along as Leo pushed harder on the next contraction, pushing out further.
As the contraction ended Leo slumped for the moment tired, another one came at him making him wince, Leo pushed again giving raph's hand another squeeze "Come on Leo, I know you're tired, it'll be over soon." Raph said encouraging as he rubbed his shell with his freehand.
Leo nodded as another wave of pain struck him, he bit his lips pushing, and He had to push.
Don took the chance on the break to turn the child gently as he'd seen online; he could feel the soft shell just inside. "Ok, come on Leo, a couple more hard pushes should about do it..."
The contractions all blended together as time between them became scarce, Leo gave one long hard push listening to Donny.
Donny gently helped the kid along. "Nearly out, give me one more." He encouraged. "Then you can rest all you want." He added. Leo panted for a moment of rest, before he pushed hard again.
The baby came out with ease thanks to that last push Leo slumped back closing his eyes panting; donny cut the immbelice cord cleaning the baby
Raph supported him as he slumped. "Good job Leo." He said, and grabbed a cloth from the supplies to wipe his mates head.
Leo looked up at raph tiredly wanting sleep desperately
Splinter and Mikey let his legs down to rest on the bed with the knees up. Mikey scrambled off the bed, to grab more cloths to clean the kid with.
Leo yawned starting to fall asleep, his body going lax his breathing starting to even out
Raph looked at Don wondering if he should keep him awake or not.
"Let him sleep, he deserves it" said Donny cradling the baby as it started to cry
Raph nodded, and carefully laid Leo back on the back on the bed as he fell fully asleep, body relaxed.
Mikey ran back in the room helping Donny finish cleaning the baby "Now that the baby's clean you want to hold him raph?" asked Donny
Raph nodded and moved forward, carefully taking the kid from his brother. "Support the head and shoulders." Don advised and watched Raph does as he was told.
He held the baby who opened his eyes showing hazel eyes specks of gold in them looking up at raph making a soft coo noise
He smiled softly as he looked at the baby, feeling an instant parental connection to it. He was glad that Mikey decided not to make some snide comment about him being tender. "So Donny, did you get a look at the gender?" Mikey asked looking at his mate.
"Congrats raph you have a baby boy" said Donny with a wry smile watching the two.
"He's got beautiful eyes." Splinter commented. Raph nodded. "A boy, no wonder he had so much spirit." He chuckled.
The little boy cooed reaching his little hand up trying to grab raph's bandana "Sheez, I'd almost think the kid didn't want me here when he was born." Raph joked, meaning they were out when Leo went into labor. The baby managed to catch on and tug lightly with a happy smile.
The baby looked around his little hand still holding raph's bandana, he spotted Leo reaching for him cooing again "Yeah, that's your...uh..." He paused unsure what to call Leo.
"That's your mommy," said mikey breaking out in a huge grin.
Raph shot Mikey a mild glare. "Leo'll kill ya if he hears ya calling him that." He remarked. The baby cried slightly, it seemed to want to be held by the other parent, even though he was asleep.
"Shh. Leo's sleeping he'll hold you soon promise" said raph easily rocking the baby trying to sooth him.
The baby sniffled and settled down again, still clutching the bandana tail in his tiny hand.
Then he started crying again, this time because it was hungry.
"How are we going feed him? Do we have baby bottles?" asked mikey guessing why the baby was crying
Don nodded. "April sent over some she'd gotten, be right back." He turned and dashed out of the room to fix and retrieve one.
The baby still cried clutching raph's bandana possessively, waking up Leo from his sleep Leo blinked at the crying. "Wha..." He managed groggily. The baby blinked and looked at Leo all red faced and watery eyed from crying.
The baby reached out to Leo not caring he had just woke up making a coo noise. Leo rubbed his eyes tiredly, whose baby? He blinked his memories coming back to him, it was his baby
Leo struggled to sit up, and managed to do so with Mikey's assistance since Raph's arms were full. "Let me..." Leo quietly requested of his mate, and Raph handed the now happy baby over.
The baby happily cooed smiling up at Leo reaching up to touch his father's beak. Leo smiled softly cradling his baby leaning down giving him a small kiss on the forehead.
Raph smiled as he watched. Don reentered with the bottle. "Oh, Leo, you're up, just in time for first feeding, if he's still hungry."
Leo nodded still holding the baby taking the bottle from Donny wanting to try and feed the baby "Lets see if I can actually feed our little one" he said softly
He carefully pressed the bottles nipple against the babies' mouth. The child stared at it a moment, before it let the bottle slip in his mouth, and waved an arm as it started to suckle.
Leo smiled lightly feeling a swell of love bubble in his chest, "Are we going to name him Kane?" asked Leo looking up at his mate
Raph nodded. "I think that name fits." He said, and heard agreements from the others.
Leo smiled "Hey Kane" Leo said softly to the newborn as he ate
"I wanna hold him next." Mikey spoke up as he watched. "Mikey..." Don started, warning him.
"If your gentle with him you can hold him" said leo "But let him finish eating first"
Mikey nodded as he sat down next to Don again. Leo kept feeding Kane who burbured softly in contentment. "Perhaps Splinter should get to hold him next, he is the grandfather." Don said.
Leo nodded to Donny lifting the bottle away as Kane finished eating handing him to splinter
Splinter gently took the child who blinked staring up at him, seemingly slightly baffled since Splinter didn't look anything like his parents.
Kane reached up reaching for splinters pink nose and whiskers, curious of how it felt.
Splinter smiled gently as the child gripped his nose, and then cooed as he smiled, he made a small Oooo noise as he wiggled his small digits.
Kane blinked still looking up at splinter letting go of his nose feeling the fur around it.
"Hey Leo, when you're up for it, I think we should get these sheets cleaned, and the bed cleaned." Don said softly. Leo nodded. Splinter watched the child as his tiny fingers played through his fur.
Mikey grinned and waved cheerily at the child when he looked toward him
Kane hiccupped at the wave starting to cry his hands coming away from splinters face, mikey eeped wondering if his waving had scared the baby
"Mikey!" Raph said angrily. "All I did was wave!" Mikey panicked as the infant cried.
Kane hiccupped again his crying slowing down as he looked at Mikey again
Mikey and Raph both looked baffled. "He still likes me!" Mikey grinned again.
"I guess he didn't like it when you waved" said Donny slightly bemused, Kane reached out for mikey curiously
Splinter moved over and handed him to his youngest son. Mikey carefully took the confused child who hiccupped again, though didn't cry this time.
"Hey little guy" said mikey to Kane as he held him, Kane reached up for mikey's bandana wanting to tug on it
Mikey managed to ignore Raph's critical watching for the moment. Mikey smiled as he let him grab onto one of his tails, and pull it with a happy coo.
Kane happily tugged on the bandana tail again before touching mikey's beak with his free hand
Mikey lightly nuzzled the tiny hand on his beak.
Leo smiled watching this, Kane smiled his little fingers tracing mikey's beak Leo leaned up and put a hand on his mates shoulder. "Relax Raph, I don't think he'll hurt him." He whispered softly.
Raph gave a half nod, taking leo's hand off his shoulder giving holding it and giving it a soft squeeze
Leo squeezed back gently. Kane continued to happily play with Mikey.
Mikey smiled looking up at his mate "Wanna hold him donny?"
Donny nodded, and carefully took the child, though mikey acked as he kept hold of his bandana.
Kane kept a grip on mikey's bandana reaching for Donny's bandana tail
"Heh, the kids obsessed with our bandana's" Raph remarked. Kane cooed as he managed to grab Donny's bandana, and seemed happy about it.
"I'm guessing he wants one," said mikey trying to pull his bandana free without upsetting Kane.
Kane hung onto the orange tail possessively. "Well, he's a little small to wear one yet." Leo said.
The sound of the phone ringing broke the silence, Kane clutched onto the bandana tighter a little scared of the sound, his tiny eyes widening at that.
"Oh great, that's probably Casey, we were on the way to meet him when we got called back." Raph said, and got up to step out of the room so the noise was less loud. He picked up. "Hey Case"
"Where are you guys?! We were supposed to meet up an hour ago!" said Casey on his end of the line
Don tried to calm the startled child down, who looked on the verge of crying again.
"Sorry Casey, but we got called back, I think we're gonna have to cancel the patrols tonight."
"Alright, but what happened? Or would ya rather talk about it tomorrow?" asked Casey worried for his friends
Raph chuckled. "Well, Kane wouldn't wait for us to get back later tonight." He chuckled. "Ok, who's Kane?" Casey asked baffled. "Mine and Leo's kid Case." He smirked at the stunned silence.
A few moments later Casey came back into reality "Holy… Congrats raph, you want me to tell April for ya? Because I can guess she'll be ecstatic over it"
Kane hiccupped and cried when Mikey pulled his bandana loose. "Mikey, what'd you do?!" Raph yelled back into the room. "Nice lungs on him dad." Casey remarked over the line, and Raph rolled his eyes. "Yes, tell April for us, you guys can probably come over tomorrow." He said. "How's Leo?" Casey asked concerned again.
"He's fine, just tired right now, the labor was hard on him so I'm guessing as soon as Kane is sleeping he'll go out like a light." said raph. Leo grabbed his bandana from the table by his bed "Give this to Kane" he said handing it to splinter who was the closet one near the bed.
Splinter offered the bandana to the child who blinked, and latched onto the blue cloth, letting Don's go, seeming to happy he has his own as he coos again. "Yeah, I guess so, I don't think guys have the pain tolerance women have when it comes to that kind of thing." Casey said.
"I better go Casey, I have to see what mikey did wrong, see you and April tomorrow" said raph, Kane smiled hugging the blue bandana happily
Casey nodded. "Tell Leo congrats for me." He said and hung up to head back to April's, or home or something. Raph shook his head and tucked the comm away and walked back into the room.
Kane cooed happily looking up from his bandana seeing raph he reached with one of his hands to raph, "Casey says congrats" said raph looking at Leo
"He'll also let April know for us, and they'll be by tomorrow as normal." He added. Leo smiled and nodded. Raph went over and took the child from Donny. "So, I see Kane's got his own bandana now." He chuckled.
Kane smiled up at his father still clutching his bandana using his free hand he felt raph's beak like he did with mikey's. "Hey Donny do we have a crib for him?" asked mikey as he realized soon Kane would be sleepy
Leo and Raph looked to Don as well. "Yeah, I think I read it's not safe for the kid to sleep in the same bed as the parents..." Raph said.
"I knew I forgot something…" said Donny feeling a little foolish, he had been caught up in trying to keep Leo from straining himself and the ninjas attacking he had completely forgotten.
Raph rested the child so he was laying vertically up his chest, his small head resting near his shoulder. "Oh man, where's he gonna sleep?" Mikey asked.
"I guess we have to try and make a crib" said donny, Kane gave a small yawn his fingers curling around leo's bandana as he started to fall asleep in his fathers arms
Mikey nodded. "We better hurry up, think the little guys falling asleep already." He said watching the child that Raph was holding.
"I think we could rig one up with some extra stuff I have in my lab" said Donny getting up, mikey followed suit
"My son, are you up for getting up so we can clean the bed?" Splinter asked Leo. Raph continued to hold his child as he fell asleep, holding his dad's bandana, Leo may never get it back.
Leo nodded getting up stumbling a little before being able to stand evenly on his own feet.
Splinter moved over and gave him asstance and support as much as he can, leading him to where he can sit down for the moment. Once he was comfortable he went about taking soiled sheets off the bed.
Raph walked over to where Leo sat, sitting next to him carefully trying not to wake Kane
"Leo I don't think your ever getting your bandana back from him" said raph a smile on his lips looking at his mate
Leo chuckled. And leaned on his mate softly. "It's ok, I got another spare one." He said.
"Remember, you can't start training for another week, or at least till Donny clears ya." Raph laughed softly.
"I know you told me before countless times" said Leo still leaning on raph, he yawned a little tiredness catching up with him.
"Don't fall asleep, I already have my hands full" said raph
"You try giving birth and not be tried" said Leo "Ummm, no thanks." Raph replied after a moment. "Eh well, once the beds made, you can sleep till noon tomorrow for all you want." He said, and watched Splinter come back with clean sheets.
Leo nodded "I wonder how Donny and mikey's progress on the crib is going?"
"I think they have something figured out." Splinter replied.
A loud thump of something falling accompanied by the yell of "OUCH" came from Donny's lab waking Kane from his sleep
Kane woke up and cried as he gripped the bandana tighter. Raph tried to soothe the child. "Sssssh." He said.
Kane whimpered stopping his crying for the moment giving a hiccup; Mikey and Donny came from the lab carrying a makeshift crib.
He ssshed and carefully rubbed the child's back. "It's ok." He said. Don and Mikey carefully carried in the makeshift bed.
Kane gripped his bandana tighter before he reached out for Leo, Mikey and Donny set the crib a few paces from the end of the bed
Leo sat up tiredly and took the child.
Kane relaxed in Leo's grip reaching up touching his face feeling his other fathers green skin
Leo smiled softly. Mikey and don set the crib up with spare a blanket, least the smallest they could find of the item and a piece of padding as the actual bed.
Kane smiled back cooing pulling his hand back to squeeze the bandana, he yawned again comforted by Leo and raph's presences
"I think this'll do till we can find something better." Don said, it wasn't a bad crib for being thrown together at the last minute.
Leo nodded standing up momentarily losing his balance before raph got up helping him; Leo gently placed Kane in the crib
He carefully laid him down, before covering him with the blanket. "Ok dad, now that the kids down, it's time for you to get sleep as well." Raph guided him to the clean bed.
Leo gladly sat down on the bed before laying down himself yawning again letting his tiredness come in full force Raph pulled the blanket up over him, watching his mate fall into the most peaceful sleep he's had in about a month.
"I think we follow what Leo and Kane did, go to sleep. I'm dead tired anyway," said mikey
Splinter nodded. "I suggest we all get some rest, we've had a long night." He said. "Hey Raph, if he wakes up, there's some premade bottles in the fridge, just toss them in the microwave for a minute and they're fine." Don said.
Raph nodded.
Donny and mikey headed off to there own room, splinter also left heading for his room, raph closed the door half way before settling next to his mate in their bed
He removed his gear and mask; before he pulled back the blanket back enough to climb in next to Leo, and pull the blanket back up.
