To Pen-Woman: Thanks, Pen-chan. Hope you enjoy this chapter! :)

"I can't believe this?!"Raphael yelled as he stomped his way into the kitchen. Donnie, who was taking a bite of his toast, paused and gave his brother a raised brow.

"And what can't you believe at this early Saturday morning?"He asked.

"April's now a mother, too!"He huffed out angrily, raising his arms in the air and then placing his hands on his hips for emphasize

Donnie's eyes widened in shock and he coughed hard a few times, slightly choking on his toast. He pounded his chest a little and cleared his throat, before standing up straight and grabbing his older brother's shoulders tightly."W-What?!"

"Yeah! First, Maddie and now April? Next thing you know, Karai is gonna be a momma, too!"

"A-Are you serious?! H-how...w-when...w-wh-why?!"

Raph shrugged and took his little brother's hands off of his shoulders."Just a few minutes ago and all because of Maddie's big mouth! She completely fell in love!"He practically yelled out and made his way to the refrigerator to get himself some juice.

Donnie felt his heart and brain slowly breaking and shattering."This can't be happening..."He said just above a whisper. He couldn't believe this...this was...illogical in so many ways!

"Oh, it's happening alright!"Raph said and took a swig of orange juice.

"W-who's the f-fa-father?"He really hoped it wasn't who he thought it was.

"How the heck should I know?"

"What?!"Donnie yelled and placed his hands on his head in panic. That's even worse than what he thought!

"Dude, none of us know who the father is. Oh, and you don't even know how annoyed Casey is about all this. It's starting to annoy me, too!"

He would've felt somewhat relieved hearing that Casey wasn't the culprit...but, this is far worse.

"I-Is she okay?!"

"Of course, she's okay. Why wouldn't she be? And why are you sweating?"

He gave his older brother an incredulous look."You're telling me that April fell in love! With a stranger that got her...that got her...a-and no one knows who he is a-an-and now she's a single mom and-"

*Slap*

Donnie placed a hand on his left cheek, that was now marked with a red, three-finger hand mark, and rubbed it gently."Ow! What was that for!"

"You're being ridiculous!"

"How am I-"

"Bro, repeat everything that I have told you when I came in here."

Donnie blinked."O-ok...um...I can't belie-"

"After that."

"April's now a mother, too."

"I meant that figuratively."

"...wha..."

"Keep going."

"Um...she fell in love."

"With the egg."

Donnie's eyes widened as the realization of the situation started to become clear."None of us know who the father is."

"I was talking about the egg's father."

"...And Casey..."

"April keeps squealing and cooing at the egg with Maddie. Casey got annoyed by how loud the two were getting and went home, which sucks 'cuz he was supposed to watch the morning wrestling match with me."

"...ha ha...ha ha ha...ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa!"

Raph took a step back and watched as his brother laughed like a maniac and have a crazed look in his eyes. He shook his head and walked away from his suddenly insane little brother.'Jeez, Don has got to stop analyzing things so seriously.'

"So, what's it's name?"

"Akachan."

"Ahhhhhhhh!"The two screamed in glee.

"That's a cute name! Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?"

"I don't know. Donnie's not sure, but he said it's a bug of some kind."

"Ooh, maybe it could be a butterfly! Or a ladybug!"

"I don't care what gender, or what species it's gonna be, I'm going to love it either way. And now, Akachan has you to love, too!"

"I can't wait till the egg hatches. I've always wanted to be a mother! Well, not of a mutated baby...but I guess I had this one coming. My life just keeps getting weirder and weirder."

"Thanks for offering to help take care of Akachan and giving me advice, April."

"No problem, Maddie. I've babysitter before, so I think I know a thing or two about babies. Not sure if any of my advice is going to help you, though."

"A baby is a baby, human or not! Today, it's officially been a whole week and two days since I found Akachan."She said with a giggle. Suddenly, she let out a squeal and jumped up and down."Oh, I can't wait until I see Akachan hatch!"

"Me too!"

"Eeeeeeeeeh!"The two squealed in excitement.

"Are you two, ok?!"Leo, yelled as he bursted into his baby sister's room with his katanas in both hands.

The two girls gave him a look and blinked at him."Uh, yeah...we're fine..."Maddie said slowly and eyed his oldest brother carefully.

Leo realized there was no threat and placed his weapons back in its rightful place. He coughed in his fist and blushed a bit in embarrassment."Oh! Uh, I thought that you two were...in danger."

April giggled as Maddie grinned and shook her head."No danger here, big bro Leo."

"We're just talking about girl stuff is all."April added.

"Yeah, girl stuff! You wouldn't understand."

"Does this girl stuff have anything to do with the egg?"

"Eeeeeeeeeaaaah!"

He winced a bit as the girls squeals ringed in his head."I would take that as a yes."

"And guess what, Leo? April is giving me advice on how to take care of Akachan. She's even gonna be Akachan's second mother, too!"

"Oh..that's...that's great! I think..."He said a little unsure of himself."Hey, since you're here, can I speak to you April?"

"Sure."

"Alone?"

"Oh."April looked at Maddie, who nodded and gave her a smile.

"I'll leave you two alone. I have to check up on Akachan, anyways."She said and made her way out of her own room. As soon as she entered Donnie's lab, Leo closed Maddie's door and looked at April in the eyes.

"April, promise me that you'll be a hundred percent honest with me for the questions I'm going to ask you."

"Um...ok?"She said hesitantly, not sure where he was going with this.

"Is Maddie...has she...been talking about anyone? Anybody specifically?"

"Other than Akachan, no, not really. Why?"

"So, no guys, right?"As soon as he said that, April got a pretty good idea what this was all about now and began to giggle.

"Oh, come on, Leo. Just because we're girls, doesn't mean we just talk about boys all the time."

"I-I know...It's just that...I was just wondering is all."

She rolled her eyes with a smile."Sure you are. Leo, she's not seeing anyone in case you were...wondering."She said the last word in emphasis and saw Leo's cheeks turn red again."She doesn't have any crushes, either."

"O-Ok. Thanks."

"You don't have to worry about her, you know. She knows how to take care of herself and she's smarter than you guys give her credit for."

"I...I know."He said nervously and played with his fingers."But, she's also innocent and sweet...and young."

April placed her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it in reassurance."She's also more mature than you realize and knows her limits. She's not always naive. Give her a chance to show you guys what she's made of. Ok?"

Leo gently smiled at her and nodded."Ok. Thanks, April."

"No problem, Leo."
