Chapter 11

Bernie woke up late that Tuesday afternoon. She had woken up early that morning with her alarm clock, puking all over the place. Taylor reluctantly went to work, but agreed eventually. Bernie breasts and back hurt. She felt like she knew what was going on…she was scared…she knew, though…or at least she thought she knew. She licked her lips and began to cry. She walked into the bathroom and searched for the tests, which she found quickly. Taylor kept them "in case of emergency". She needed to call someone…she needed moral support or whatever you wanted to call it…she needed someone to be there with her while she did this.

…

April knocked on the door of the apartment. When Bernie opened it, April greeted her with a hug. "What happened? You sounded so scared."

Bernie asked, crying, "You know how the guys are on their season?"

April nodded.

"And the point of a mating season is to reproduce?"

She nodded again, looking a bit confused.

"Raph and I…well…I didn't think we were fertile, April…"

"How many times?"

"Three…and Mikey raped me once…"

"Do you know for sure?"

Bernie shook her head. "I needed someone to be here."

"Why me? Why not Taylor?" April knew she was closer to the young blond.

"Well, Taylor doesn't know about the guys, and I couldn't with Casey because he doesn't even know that I love Raph…"

"You love Raph?"

"I wouldn't have let him touch me if I thought otherwise." Bernie looked up at her and covered mouth.

"Well come on. We won't know for sure unless you test it."

...

Raph couldn't live with himself if he got her pregnant. He wanted her. He needed her. He felt so fucked up just thinking that, but he knew it. He needed all of her.

He and Leo were sitting in the lair, on the couch.

"Why'd you do it?" Raph asked, finally breaking the silence.

Leo looked at him, knowing what he was talking about, but still acted as if he was oblivious, "What do you mean?"

"The little girl!" Raph yelled. "You RAPED a little thirteen year old girl!"

Raph stood, towering over him, even though they were both standing now.

"I couldn't help it, Raph!"

"We made a promise. I don't know if you remember it because your brain is so fucked up, but we promised to try not to hurt anyone! Sensei made us promise! And you broke his honor!"

"And you raped Bernie! She's our friend, like our sister!"

"She wanted me to!"

"No she didn't! Why would she want you? She was just…doing it with you because she didn't want you to do that same thing I did!"

Raph tried to punch Leo in the jaw, but he ducked and knocked his feet out from underneath him. Raph jumped back up and growled.

"You don't know Bernie, Leo. Not the way I do." He hurled himself at Leo, who easily dodged him.

"You don't know anything about her! What do you know, huh?"

"She's smart, and artistic, and beautiful, and deals with my temper, and fun, and funny, and gave me the most retarded nickname ever, but I love her."

Leo pursed his lips and kicked Raph in the stomach.

"But she could never love you." He rose victorious over his little brother.

The reason he didn't get up: He thought Leo was right.

…

April sat with Bernie in the bathroom. They were both staring at the electric test. The label said it would take three minutes before the results would show up and this was literally the longest three minutes of her life.

So many thoughts were running through her mind. She still needed to get the suppressant from Ivy, but at the moment, she was more afraid of being pregnant.

She looked at her phone for the third time. It had only been thirty seconds.

"So…why do you love Raph?"

Bernie looked at her… "The same reason you love Vern, April…I really don't know."

April half-smirked, "He proposed." She whispered.

Bernie furrowed her eyebrows, "He-he proposed? To you?"

She nodded, "He proposed."

"Where's the ring?"

"I didn't have time to put it on. I was rushing over here."

"I would hug you if I wasn't dying and tear-stained."

April laughed. "It's gonna be okay, Bernie."

She nodded and two more tears ran down her cheeks. The test beeped. They both grabbed at it and it fell off the counter. Bernie reached down, picked it up, and read the results.

…

Mikey was sitting in Donnie's lab on a spinning chair with wheels, pushing himself around.

"Mikey can you stop? You're making me intensely nauseous." Donnie asked, trying to focus. His hands were shaking as he tried to mix the two drugs. Mikey continued to spin around in the chair.

"Sorry, I can't do that, sir."

He rolled in front of him three times before Donnie grabbed his Bo and hit him off the chair.

"Stop Mikey!"

"Okay, okay…geez…" Mikey twiddled with his fingers.

"Remember when we met Bernie?"

"Yes, how could I forget?"

"God she's hot…"

"You're not helping with my urges."

"But her friend the other night, though…She was HOTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

"Mm hmm. Why don't you just tell me how we met Bernie so I won't have to kill you?"

"Well, it was a crisp winter evening and it was snowing!"

Flashback

It was late November and Bernie was walking home from the art institute. She had lived in New York for about three months. She was wearing a comfortable outfit that was well suited for the cold winter weather, which she wasn't used to. She was used to warm sunny winters spent outside. Now she was always inside…

She looked at the apartment complex and saw four large figures. At first she thought football jocks, but quickly knocked that idea out. They were all stupid. So she climbed up the fire escape to see the guys.

"What are you?" She asked, looking at them.

They all jumped around and saw her, standing there, the snowing biting her cheeks and nose.

"Should we kill her?" Mikey asked.

"What?" The other three asked, shocked.

"Kill her with kindness, duh!"

"What are you?" She repeated. They all paused, "I'm not gonna scream if that's what you're waiting for."

Mikey ran over to her, "Hi I'm Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey, babe, and I like pizza, Orange Crush and the video with cat playing chopsticks with chopsticks."

"I'm Bernie. Are all of you going to avoid my question, or am I going to have to assume you guys are in costume?"

All four of them exchanged glances and Leo shrugged.

"I'm Leonardo, or Leo, as everyone calls me."

"Still waiting for an explanation." She mumbled.

"I'm Donnie, the ah, smart one." He half smiled, which she returned with a small smile.

Raph said nothing. "And you?" Bernie asked him.

"Raphael."

"So…you guys…are artists?"

"Pardon?" Leo asked.

"No…psh, why would you think that?" Mikey asked.

"They're the greats! Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello…they're the best painters…ever!"

Leo asked, "Are you an artist?"

She nodded. "I teach at the community Art Institute. Okay, now what are you guys?"

"Well, Bernie, we're ninjas." Leo said.

"We're mutants." Raph said gruffly.

"Technically, we're turtles." Donnie correctly.

"Oh, and we're teenagers. But we can still have…adult conversations." Bernie snickered at Mikey.

"So you're ninja mutant turtle teenagers?" She asked.

"It just sounds stupid if you say it like that." Donnie said with a smile.

"Well…how about teenage mutant ninja turtles?"

"I like it! Dude, she's pretty, artistic and smart. I say she's a keeper." Mikey added with a smile.

Raph said, "I say we need to get outta here. We can't trust her or any of the people up top."

"I've seen you guys before! You're the boobs on the Victoria's Secret billboard."

"She's good." Donnie complimented.

Mikey puckered his lower lip, "Can we hang out with her, Leo, plllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeee?"

"Well…I guess…"

"Yes! I can't wait for you to meet April O'Neil and…"

"Wait…April O'Neil as in the news reporter April O'Neil?"

The guys exchanged glances.

"That's my cousin. I was going to stay with her…but I'm staying with my other cousin."

"You mean you don't live with your parents?"

She shook her head and forced a smile.

"So, I gotta get home…can I see you again?"

"Course, sweetheart." Mikey smiled. "Anytime."

She smiled. Raph shifted his toothpick and grumbled something under his breath.

"I look forward to it." She climbed down the fire escape and through her window.

"Okay she's hot." Mikey said.

Leo asked, "How did she know we were the boobs?"

…

Bernie let out a sob as she read the results on the test.

She didn't know whether or not to be overjoyed, but one thing was for sure, she was relieved.

Negative. It read. She smiled.

"You're not pregnant." April smiled.

She nodded and smiled, "I'm not pregnant…yet…can you call Raph over? I need to talk to him."

April nodded.

…

Raph tapped on her window and she pulled it open. April had left out of fear of the urges. His crashed his lips onto hers. When they finished the kiss, he looked at her, holding her close.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I thought I was pregnant."

His head pulled back, "Pregnant?"

"Yeah, the whole mating season's point is to reproduce…I'm not though…"

He let out a sigh. She didn't know whether it was a happy sigh or a sad one, but she was glad she wasn't pregnant.

Yet.

Hello, my lovelies! I missed you! It felt like forever! As always, please read and review!
