Neesa also discovers she is too, pregnant but 10 weeks later while she is preparing the sabotage against Karai and training the clone, waiting in the jungle of South America. And way...on with the story. tootles R&R please.

CHAPTER TWENTY-Neesa is pregnant and the meeting of the Jones baby

The plane finally arrived to the South American airport. "Please adjust your seatbelts...we will be landing momentarily." Flight attendant requested.

Neesa looked out the window and gazed the airport below after buckling herself in the seatbelt while waiting to land. Suddenly her palmtop vibrated again, presenting the reminder of that should be attended immediately before actually waking up from her crier tube state.

About between ten or thirty seconds later...the plane finally landed and the passengers around her were beginning to become restless and tired as they suffered with jag legs syndrome. "We thankyou for taking Latin airlines and hope you enjoyed your flight with us and will continued to flight with Latin airline in the near future." Flight attendant announced through the microphone

While waiting to stand and take her duffel bag from the compartment above as the two men sat near her were trying to get lucky. "So...what's your name?" the man asked, leaning on the arm and stared at Neesa with erotic hungry eyes.

Neesa rolled her eyes with annoyance and pulled her hand out with a ring on her wedding finger as protection to present that she was not available. "Nice try...but use your cheesy line on someone else. If you don't mind, please move so I can leave the plane." She politely requested.

The man stood up and still stayed close, allowing Neesa to stand and take her bag out while he stared at her womanly frame. Neesa threw her bag over her shoulder and walked to the entry/exit door of the plane with the man following behind her.

His friend followed behind them as they whispery planned, their own way of fun time. Neesa sensed the negative and read the foul plan from the men's mind as they walked behind her. Pretending to appear out of the ordinary. After leaving the customs, the two men followed Neesa thought to grab her and tried to drag her to nearest back alley of the airport and thought to take out the plan they schemed unaware they will not leave the alley alive.

"This is easy, bro...This chick didn't scream once for help...she must want what we are gonna to do to her." the man erotically and evilly stated.

"Tell me about it...remember me first ok." the accomplice demanded

"No...No me first, I hate sloppy seconds." He replied

Neesa threw her bag and narrowly glare the two men and lowly growled. The stepped back for a second and gathered their courage again then tried again, surrounding her and covered what her escape. "This one likes to growl like...like a cat or even a dog." He evilly snickered

"Well then you might like this one then, boys." Neesa said, walking back into the shadows behind the dumpster. The men followed and began to tremble as they saw what she transformed into.

"Please...please don't hurt us." They pleaded incoherently

"Why shouldn't I?" she growlingly said, staring at them with blood red shot deathly glance. Neesa slightly transformed into her wolf form, just enough so her clothes she wore would not be torn to the point that she would have to change then continued on with her journey. "When I said I was unavailable why didn't you just walk the other way and leave me alone?" Neesa viciously asked

"Ok...ok I should have taken the hint and left but I didn't...I'm sorry...please let me go...don't kill me, please...please...please." he answered, pleading for release. Neesa leaned and sniffed along his neck down his chest then she smelt that familiar womanly precious inner untouched vulva scent upon both of them and become viciously angry then tighten her grasped around their throats then began to crush their jugulars as they tried to plead again. "Please let u-us go."

"I don't think so." She whispery told them and tightened her grip and dug her claws in their throats until they choked upon their blood curdling vomit. She left the bloody bodies in the alleyway and transformed back to her normal humanly stated of what is left that is human but sometimes she wished that she changed everything around her for the better.

Walking to her duffel bag and travelled to the forest where a loyal old friend waited. Finally passed the large leaf plants when she stood in the presence of the white horse that seems either has passed on or only appears to have, shining with a white glow and slowly walked towards Neesa. Turned around, offering his back and softly neighed. Accepting the offer and quickly tighten her duffel bag strap then placed both hands upon his back and climbed up.

When she finally climbed up and gently patted his neck, the horse immediately start trotting through the brush of the forest, taking his rider to the hidden mansion. It was beginning to become dark and getting late when she finally arrived to the vine covered gates of the mansion. Swinging her leg over the stallion's head and gently pushed herself off from his back, patting his neck while he turned and nudged his snout gently against her cheek.

Neesa smiled, gently held his jaw and hugged him. "Thankyou my friend...go in peace."

The white horse bowed and softly neighed then turned around, walking away in the forest mist and disappeared. Holding one hand upon the vine covered gates and kindly requested the vines to retract from the entry so she may enter. The vines unentwined themselves, allowing the visitor to walk within the gates with ease.

After she walked inside, the vines immediately entwined the gate entrance once again, covering any possibility of been suspicious if discovered by the jungle criminals that waited in hiding. She quickly stopped by the tombstone of Jonathan Swiftstone and paid her respects, leaving a large lily flower then went to the front of the house.

One touch upon the vines covering the door, retracted away. Opening the door, blew out the dust out again then heard the beeping of the laboratory alarm sounding off. Immediately ran to the laboratory without hesitation, when she ran in the lab the cryonic tube was preparing to open the door and release the occupant within. Neesa took off her duffel bag and threw it to the floor and ran closer to the crier tube and prepared to catch the clone that will be released. As the door opened, water splashed everywhere on the floor and luckily Neesa caught the clone before touching the floor.

The clone opened her eyes as she coughed up all the water from her throat and gasped for her first breath of air then she passed out. Carrying the clone to a nearby bed waiting and dried her off then dressed her, leaving her to sleep until the clone was strong enough to stand and speak.

Neesa worked on a disk containing the information needed to explain the clone's purpose. While she waited for the clone to wake, the sleeping clone began to receive vivid visions of Neesa's memories; good, bad and the horrifying. The slight murmuring got Neesa's attention when the clone began to lash out as she saw the most terrifying memory that made her snapped opened her eyes in horrifying fright.

Shush...shush..."It's ok...you're safe." Neesa reassured the nameless clone.

The clone inhaled and sightedly exhaled as she rose up from the bed. Feeling woozy, light headed as if was hit by a bus. "Where...where am I?" she stammered

"You are in the jungle of South America." Neesa answered, stepping back but close enough to give the clone a helping hand to stand, if wanted the kind gesture.

The clone took Neesa's hand and slowly climbed off the bed and looked around herself as more memories came flooded upon her. Then she asked her first question. "Who am I?" clone asked weakly

"You are no-one...just a clone from my DNA." Neesa replied, honestly.

The clone glared Neesa with confusion, anger and misunderstanding. "So...I'm nothing but an experiment? A lab rat!" clone upsettingly exclaimed.

Neesa returned the glare but much softer and subtle with understanding manner, replying. "I'm sorry...come, here watch this recording and learn then your physical training will begin."

Neesa inserts a disc to upload the information to answer the clone's questions and give her more what should be told.

The clone followed Neesa to the computer and watched the recording of what and why she was created and the purpose of her life was set in motion to be only but a bio-weapon against an enemy that will in hope to be destroyed. "I know this is a lot to take in...But you are doing something good for the world and it will not be forgotten." Neesa told the clone.

"Why did you create me from your blood to do this...I'm only an expendable thing to you." The clone angrily exclaimed. Neesa exhaling sighed, looked to her feet as she knew that her clone was right especially she was apart of her as if she was her own child. But she wouldn't do this if there were another way which there isn't. "I'm sorry...you're right but think of this way, you will be a hero when it is over." Neesa reassured her clone.

As the clone watched, listened and learned...she at first was intensively angry then slowly understood her purpose. She walked to the window, staring to the outside world of the lab and what the clone saw enticed her. Seeing the beauty that she will be sacrificing herself to save. "It's beautiful." She stated softly, admiring the forest outside the lab.

"It sure is." Neesa answered

"What is your name?" the clone asked, facing Neesa with a curious glance.

"Neesa Swiftstone."

The nameless clone saw a photo sitting in the pocket, half hidden from the distance. She walked to the duffel bag, knelt down and took out the photo. Neesa watched the clone stare the photo with curiosity and yearning of these people were. "Is this your family?" clone asked

"Yes...they're my family." Neesa softly and whispery answered, as she gently took the photo from the clone. "You would...do what it takes to keep them safe?" the clone asked, wondering with a yearning frown.

As Neesa gazed the photo and ran her thumb across the face of Masuki and Leonardo, replying softly. "Yes...I would."

"Can you give me a name please." the clone requested

Neesa faced her clone, giving her a small soft smile. "Would you like 'Belle'?" Neesa suggested kindly.

The clone smiled with appreciating glee and nodded. "What does that mean?" She asked curiously.

"Beauty." Neesa answered

"Beauty...I love it...thankyou." the clone now named as Belle replied.

"Welcome to the world, Belle." Neesa welcomed.

"Where will we beginning with?" Belle wondered

"First you must know more about the enemy then training will begin." Neesa answered.

"Ok...shall we begin then?" Belle inquested.

"Spoken like a true warrior." Neesa stated, smiling with pride. "Let's begin."

Five weeks later...august 28th 2004

Neesa felt woozy during the weapons practice with Belle. Belle noticed that something was not quite right about her friend and creator, she immediately stopped and sheathed her sword upon her back and instinctively aided Neesa. "Are you alright?" Belle asked, concerningly.

Neesa sighed and inhaled as she felt light-headed and sat down for a second. "What's wrong? You don't look well, Neesa." Belle said, worriedly

"It's nothing...I'm ok. Thankyou for worrying but I'm fine." Neesa replied breathlessly.

Suddenly Neesa also had almost forgotten that April just had her first baby about 8 or 9 weeks before. Slowly inhaled and exhaled then stood up, quickly made an internet parcel purchase and urgently requested it to be sent to the address given within the next 24 hours along with a congratulations card to the happy newly parents.

"What did you just do?" belle asked

"I purchased a large parcel of baby accessories, toys and congratulations card to a dear friend." Neesa answered.

"Oh...Why?" belle confusedly said.

"Never mind, my dear girl...one day you will understand." She told Belle.

Back in New York City

April's apartment

Knock...knock...

April and Casey gazed eachother in silence. Casey stood up and answered to the door while April nursed moira. As Casey opened the door, the delivery man stated their names. "Mr Jones and Mrs O'Neil?"

"Yes...may I help you?" Casey asked

"I have a large package for you sir. If you would be so kindly to sign here please and we will bring in your package momentarily." Delivery man answered.

Casey opened the door after April quickly covered herself up and cradled her baby while Casey signed the delivery form and assumed to pay the delivery fees. "Here you go, pal." Casey stated, handing the cash.

The delivery man held his hand out, telling Casey to keep his money. "No...No...Everything is taken care of, sir."

"Oh...ok then." Casey answered, putting the cash into his pocket.

"What was all that about?" April asked

"I don't know." Casey answered as he stepped aside, allowing the delivery men to bring in the large package containing baby clothes, toys and other baby accessories. Immediately April knew who was the sender and just smiled with gratitude.

Casey closed the door and noticed his wife smiling. "What ya smiling about?" Casey wondered

"Neesa...She sent the package for Moira." April replied

Casey smiled and shook his head then sat next to April, embracing his young family and kissed April. Moira gazed her parents, cooing and moving about happily.

Knock...knock

"What now?" Casey groaned

"Maybe it might be the guys." April said, hoping

"They hadn't been back in New York since they moved to Franklin, April." Casey replied.

"You never know." April answered, trying to be cheery and hopeful

Casey smiled and shook his head again as he opened the door and found the delivery man standing with the card that was almost forgotten. "I apologise sir. Here is the card with the package and have a nice day, sir."

Casey gazed the deliver man confused and watched him leave, staring the envelope and returned back in the apartment. Opened the envelope and started to read the card. "Casey?" April called

"Hmm..." he humed

"Who is that from?" April asked

"Neesa...she congrats us with lil moira." He answered, walking to the couch and sat down, handing the card.

April read the card and was gratefully happy as a tear fell down her cheek.

Dearest April and Casey

Congratulations for the birth of your daughter...I sent my apologies that I couldn't be there to celebrate the arrival of Moira...I know giving you a large parcel won't be enough for my absence but when I return. I will make it up to you...promise...congratulations guys.

Love always

Neesa.

"Atleast she didn't forget us entirely...she is always thinking of us more than she thinks of herself." April said

"Leo is very lucky to have a gal like Neesa." Casey stated, smiling

"I don't know what we all would have done without her, especially Masuki...she has done so much for us." April answered

"Let's go for a drive and visit the guys." Casey suggested

April nodded and smiled as she kissed her husband while she waited for Casey to pack, change of clothes for themselves and moira. So they could spend a day with their friends and introduced their daughter.

Later that very early evening just before the sun started to set over the horizon where the orange clad terrapin stood in the kitchen, doing the dishes when Mona walked passed him and her ears were over whelmed by his shouting.

"Hey everyone...April and Casey are here." Mikey yells excitedly

"Alright mikey, we aint deaf...only a few feet away." Mona snapped annoyingly

Elissia and Tealana were in the living room, sitting comfortably when Mikey shouted as they looked over their shoulders out of the window and saw that April and Casey were just outside. They stood up and went out to greet their guest and the children followed behind them.

"Hey April...Casey." tealana greeted

"It has been awhile." Elissia said

"It sure has...we had to settle first then drop by." April explained

"We have someone to introduce but where is everyone else?" Casey wondered

"I'm here, Casey." Mikey happily replied and ran out of the house. With Mona walking behind him and stood on the front porch veranda. "I'll get the others...Leo is teaching Masuki to learn meditation and Don is playing with the kids." Mona said

"Oh...Don been playing with the kids? He is changing back to the old Don we missed so much." April surprisingly said

"Yeah...it is good aint it?" Elissia answered

"Actually Mona, you go find and Masuki and I'll Don and Raph." Tealana insisted

"You sure...?" Mona replied

"Go on...go get Leo and Masuki." Tealana answered

"Thanks Teala." Mona thanked

"No problem." Tealana answered

While Mona and Tealana fetch for the missing terrapin clan members, mikey assisted April with the baby and Casey carried the bags inside the house. Mona found Leo and Masuki near the apple tree orchid, meditating but Masuki was asleep. "There you are." Mona said

"We didn't go far Mona...What's up?" Leo answered, opening his eyes and gazed the brunette haired salamander.

"April and Casey are here...they want to introduce their baby." Mona replied, explaining the unexpected gathering.

"Let's go then." Leo answered, gently picking up his daughter that slept back to the house. As they walked inside, Don was the first to see the new Jones baby. "Is this her? She's gorgeous." Don admiringly cooed

"This is Moira Marie Jones."

"Congratulations guys." Raph and Don congratulated in unison.

"Oh Leo...Masuki is asleep...Here let me take her to bed." Tealana offered, taking the sleeping terrapin child. "Thanks Teala." Leo said, handing his daughter to his sister in-law.

Tealana softly nodded and walked upstairs, taking the sleeping child to her room.

"Hi Leo." Casey greeted

"Hi Casey...congratulations." Leo answered as he was not in the mood of celebrating and excused himself after meeting the baby. "Are ya alright, bud?" Casey asked, worriedly

"Yeah, everything is fine...just tired. Congrats again, buddy." Leo replied, continued to walk outside to the front porch and sat on the porch swing.

Casey returned back the kitchen where his family and friends cooed over the new baby. Standing beside the red clad terrapin with his arms folded and cleared his throat to get Raphael's attention. "What's up, Case?" Raph inquired

"What's up with Leo?" Casey wondered, worryingly

"I think he is missing Neesa...and worried about her." Raph answered, assuming his brother's fear.

"That will explain why she aint here and she sent that huge package to us earlier today." Casey inquired lowly.

Raph glared Casey and shrugged what he just had said. Arliana ran up to him and wanted to be picked up. "What ya up to lil ragger muffin...mmm?"

"Nothing daddy...just want a hug." She answered, cooing happily

"A hug? Ok then." Raph replied, playfully and gave his daughter a hug then placed her down.

"Want a beer?" Raph offered

"Why not...thanks raph." Casey acceptingly answered

As the red clad terrapin went to the fridge and took out two beers then walked to the living room, drank their drinks as they talk while the cooing women, curious children and admiring terrapin uncles to be crowded April with Moira as she soundly slept within her motherly embrace.

"What about you and elissia?" April asked

"Well...we are talking things slowly but I think we are slowly coming together but starting as friends first." Don said, rubbing the back of his neck, blushingly.

"Oh Donatello...you and I are going to take a ride later and talk about something." Elissia cooed, teasingly.

"Are we? Alrighty then...I would like that." Don answered.

"You would like that, wouldn't you?" Elissia teased, smirking

"Oooo...Lookie lookie, who is in love. Mwa...Mwa." Mikey playfully tormented

Both Don and Elissia blushed. The purple clad terrapin pointed his finger at Mikey, playfully and told him. "You keep that up, Mikey...I will leave something in your bed when you go to sleep, tonight."

"It's on now...I think that I better sleep with the kids then." Tealana playfully said, giggling.

Elissia and April remained silent as they giggled.

"What is the plan for the evening?" Mikey wondered

"Well, it is too late to drive back so we decided to stay the night with you." April announced

"Really?" Tealana stated

"Really...I also wanted to thank Neesa for the baby accessories she has sent." April replied, desiring to see the red haired maiden.

"I think she would already know." Don said

"Right." April whispered

"Don't worry April...neesa wouldn't forget...she will be home soon." Mikey said

"I think Moira and I better get some sleep...it was long drive." April stated, standing up and wondered where she and the baby will sleep. Then suddenly Mikey immediately offered a spare baby cot that was in that happen to be stashed away in the attic.

"Thanks...mikey...its nice." April unsurely answered as she looked at the cot.

"I'll quickly clean it. And I'll...wait there is a spare room down the hall here." Don said, quickly remembering about the room that Leatherhead used when he was up last.

"Oh...why didn't you say that before!" April asked

"I only just remembered now." Don answered, with a smile

April went to the spare room and it happened to be furnished with a queen sized bed and brand new baby cot, waiting. "This will do." April stated, pleased

"This room was filled with secondary stuff before...who...when and how?" Mikey wondered

"Only one answer to your question, mikey." Tealana said, facing him.

"Who?" He answered, unsure.

"My sister." She told him, smiling proud

He smiled proudly and thought what would they do if they never had someone like her in their lives. What a world it would be if she never existed, let alone he wouldn't have something so special and precious, standing beside him within his arm's embrace.

'Thankyou.' He thought softly.

...
