Okay...I'm just taking a crack at this. I was convinced to try to write, again, by a friend. I don't see why she wants me to write, but as long as i get good reviews, I will contiue this.

I, RozBen, do not own TMNT or its charaters; all rights go to their proper owners...which sucks ass.
Chapter 10: BABIES ON THE BRAIN!

Nearing his fourth month mark, Usagi could clearly see his "baby bump", as April is so fond and insistant of saying, very clearly in the mirrior each morning. Then he would put on a loose shirt over it, no longer being able to fit his silks, and it would almost disappear. Though, Donnie tell him he will only get bigger as the twins grow. He did not mind, so long as they were healthy.

Speaking of twins, his eyes settled on the baby book on the coffee table. It was hard just holding it. Every time he did, April decided it would be a good time for a one on one talk. Yes, he did not mind her comany. No, he did not hate her. At least that was what he kept telling himself. No, not hate...but maybe irritation or annoyance? But, anyway. But all she could think of was the babies and his health. Yes, his children were improtant. But so was exersize, even if it was minimal. Even Don had agreed to that. Still, though, she refused to let him do any chores around the lair when she was there-which what seemed like near always now.

He stared at the book that sat in front of him, with a small frown.

He stared.

And looked both ways; the lair was quiet and clear. The turtles were out, running some errans. Master Splinter was meditating. He was alone in the quiet living room.

He stared at it.

And stared.

And looked both ways again. No one was in sight.

He reached for it.

"Usagi~! I have some more baby name books and some catalogs that we can order speacially made products that we can put the names on and-" Usagi sighed, leaning back into the sofa, holding the book. Of course. This woman, who was in no doubt his friend, was raving mad! He pondered sending a message to Elidi and having her come over, but knew the shock of seeing him pregueant would send her, as the turtles so often called it, "over the edge". Besides, he had a feeling she and Leonardo did not get along very well. The last thing he needed was another fight.

Raph and his love quarrel a lot, it seems. Raph, in that respect, is very much like Elidi. The only differnece? She will find a way to anger her oppent to the point of madness, so they will throw the first punch. She would allow the strike to hit and then pounce, claiming self defence. An effective but old game of hers that she never truely outgrew.

"So, what do you think?"
"Hmm?" he looked up, brought out of his thoughts, the book open in his lap.
"Oh! I didn't know you were looking through the baby book for names!" she beamed, looking over the back of the sofa. "Have you found any you like?"
"Nothing that really stands out." he said, smiling slightly as she claimed the seat beside his. When she wasn't being obsessive over his children and his health, she was good comapny. Really, she was.
"Has Leo found anything he likes?" she peered onto the page.
"Do not tell him i told you this, but i caught him searching the pages." he chuckled. She squealed silently. He raised one eyebrow in silent question, but shook his head.

"So..." April laughed, pulling out a magazine. "I was wondering...about the babies' clothes..."
Sighing, he closed his eyes, fighting down irritation. "We've ordered enough baby stuff, April. I do not think we need-"
"Nonesence! I-"
"Dudes! I'm home! You can now bask in my glory!" Mikey screamed shrilly, jumping out of the elevator, a pissed Raph running after him.
"Yo, Usagi! Get dat tail a yers over here! Leo's a mess a nerves 'bout havin' left ya here." Raph laughed loudly, having scared off his baby brother, setting down pizza boxes. Usagi jumped at the chance of getting out of April's immediate line of sight. He was beyond grateful for this interruption.

Haulting in the kitchen's doorway, having been caught by his love, he smiled. Leo just nuzzled into his neck, all the stress melting from the turtle's shoulders.
"April trying to go all auntie on you again?" he chuckled. He earn a half-hearted glare.
"Lookie what we got!" Mikey grinned widly. "Straw~berries!" he handed them to Usagi.
"Thank you." he smiled. Pulling away from a puppy eyed Leo, he went to the fridge. Opening it, he bent slightly and put them away when, he gasped. He winced backwards, holding his stomach.
"Usagi?" Leo asked, moving around the table. His rabbit winced slightly again, placing a hand on his stomach. "Usagi! What is it? What's wrong? Don!"

Everyone stopped and stared as Don ran over. Usagi merely waved him away. "They're...kicking. Feel this." He pulled Leo's hand onto the side of his stomach and Leo drew his hand back in shock. Then, he put it back, bending down next to his boyfriend's stomach, feeling them kick again. Leo laughed, nuzzling into Usagi. His forehead got kicked and he smiled.

"OOOOOH! Me next! Me! ME!" Mikey put his hand next to Leo's and jumped when they kicked.
"Right on time, too." Don commented quietlyas Leo stood and swpet Usagi off his feet, planting a gentle kiss on his lover.
