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 11: MOOD swings
Nearly three weeks later, Usagi began showing through some of his baggy clothing; having almost hit the sixth month mark.
Don had begun to fret slightly. The babies were being more active, which was good, but so was Usagi. He would walk with Leo for hours among the sewers, which Don immdeiatly put a stop to after the thrid of fourth time. Then Usagi would begin picking up the lair a little, like throwing away some garbage or putting away some forgotten books. That was fine, but at times he had to bend down way too low for Don's liking. He put a stop to it by assining the rooms a person to keep them spotless. Anyone who failed that order would feel his wrath.
April had pratcially moved in by then, along with her husband Casey. She refused to let Usagi move around too much. She would get him something to drink and eat, even when he wasn't hungry. She would grab several books from the library to keep him in one spot. Everyone knew he loved to read.
Mikey, who had loved Usagi's help in the ktchen, made sure the rabbit stayed seated while working.
Raph had hidden his swords, only letting him have them when they needed to be tended to.
Leo was also beginning to hovering more and more. Most of the time, when Usagi would wake, Leo would still be sleeping next to him. That, however, he did not mind. He quite enjoyed that.
Though, today was one of those rare days where April, Casey and Master Splinter had left the lair.
Usagi was seriously considering that his sanity wasn't strong enough for this suffication. So, out of a desperate need of someone to talk to, someone who wouldn listen to him and not badger him about his childrens' health-Which he was constantly worrying about anyway, though no one else seemed to realize this-he sent a message to Elidi. He told her Gen could come two, since the two of them were always bumping into one another.
That had been two days ago.
He sighed, turning another page in the baby book. He could feel everyone looking over at him at times. He just ignored them. Leo sat next to him, peering onto the pages along with him.
"What's wrong?" Leo asked quietly, concern instantly making him tighten his hod on his lover.
"Nothing." he leaned into Leo, burrying his face into his shoulder. "I am just tired."
"Maybe you should get some-" A crackling noise interupted them. Everyone looked over their shoulders to see a portal opening up. Leo stood instantly, putting himself between Usagi and the gateway. Out stepped a familiar rabbit and rhino.
"Gen? Elidi?" Mikey asked, looking over the back of the sofa. Usagi had turned in his seat and was helped to stand by Raph.
"Hello." Gen grunted, not really looking happy. He had a dark mark on his cheek.
"Greeting." Elidi smiled, pulling down her hood. Her smile looked like it was slapped off of her face when she saw Usagi. A look of disbelief was stuck on her features. "Gen...you were being serious...?"
"Yes." he snapped. Elidi began laughing whole heartedly and went over to Usagi, hugging him.
"Oh, look at you! Twins, Gen has told me. Oh and i didn't believe him. Now i feel like a terrible aunt. No worries, children, i will spoil you."
"Why is everyone so insistant on spoiling our children?" he asked, drawing back. Leo's hand slip around his back, catching hold of his waist.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" asked Leo, a slight frown on his face. He still did not like her.
"Humph. For your information i have some very important information for Usagi. Besides, he invited us over for a talk; he wants to know what we've been up to."
"You do have a habbit of getting into trouble, Elidi. I was just making sure you were dead in a ditch somewhere." Usagi said with dry amuzment. They all shared a laugh, though Leo just made a face.
"Come and sit." Don said, not wanting Usagi to stand for too long.
Everyone clustered around the living room, though Leo and Mikey went to the kitchen to grab some cookies and tea for their guests.
"So what's this important news?" Usagi asked lightly, as Elidi sat next to him. Her face closed down, becoming impassive. It was a nautral mask for her.
"I wish to speak to you in private about that." he voice was tight.
"Alright." he said, perplexed by her reaction.
"Yo, Usagi." Gen said. "Aren't you the least bit disturbed by this? You are a male after all. Men aren't suppose to bear children, that's women work." he crossed his arms, still standing.
"Say that again." Usagi growled.
"It. Is. Woman's. Work." he said it slowly, deliberatly. He sneered it, openly mocking the white rabbit. Everyone saw it as a challange to prove him wrong. Usagi jumped over the coffe table, slamming a fist into his jaw. His head snapped backwards. He brought his foot up and caught Gen in the stomach, taking the rhino right off his feet.
Leo, having just walked into the living room, dropped the tray. The tea set shattered.
Gen jumped to his feet, reaching for his swords, only to find them gone. Mikey held them and gave him a small wave. Raph and Elidi tackled him into the entertainment center.
"Give me one more reason, Gen." Usagi snarled in his face. Leo grabbed Usagi, trying to pull him backwards as gently as he could. Gen did not reply. His lip was split and bleeding slightly.
"I thought so." Usagi spat.
After a few moments of stillness, Usagi suddenly gasped, tears shining in his eyes."I...Gen i am so sorry...i-i had not meant..."
"Seems his mood swings have finally arrived." Mikey whispered to Don and his brother could only nod.
Elidi dropped her hands, stepping beisde Usagi. "If anyone should apologize, it is him. He came into your home and disrespected you and your family." she placed a hand on his shoulder, but glared at the rhino. " Aplogize you insensitive jackass."
After a few tence moments, Elidi stepped forward, drawing her blades and he ground out, "My apologies."
It took a good two hours before the tension was completly gone. Gen apologized again, more sincener this time though.
