Epilogue

8 YEARS LATER

Mikey was pacing in the living room with his brothers and sisters in law and his nieces and nephews as he was awaiting for news from Dr. Rockwell and Donnie.

He was not only worried but also nervous, trying to keep himself calm for his family's sake, though he knew they didn't blame him for acting like this... Oops! Sorry readers, did it again, time to give you an update on what's up:

Things were a lot more peaceful after Shredder had finally been arrested along with his cohorts, all except Tiger Claw who had returned to Japan after being badly injured by Lori in the final fight, to plot his revenge.

A lot has changed ever since then in more ways than one mind you. our heroes, who all wore disguise Lockets thanks to the efforts of Mrs. White, Donny, and Doctor Rockwell working together to make more of the lockets so that everyone can give their Testament to the police in human form and not cause a huge freak out, were able to live peacefully, though there were still burglars to stop, and other bad guys and still some mutant feelings out there causing a ruckus to take down, but still there was never really a dull moment for them.

Nobody was really surprised nor said any word as they had gotten the news that Shredder was given a death penalty and dr. Kurtzman would be there for his execution the day after the final battle. They all knew that He had brought this upon himself, there was nobody to blame but Shredder, who at his appointed time of his execution kept spouting his protest, again which nobody listened and just ignored him, all of his efforts have been in vain as he was finally silenced at the sound of a gunshot.

Also, once everything had settled down, Mrs. White, thanks to some of her friends who she still had kept in secret contact with who owned her favor, was able to restore her house and move back in with her children, and she had taken in Irma, adopting her and raised her like she was her daughter since Irma didn't have a family anymore because the Kraang had killed them and she had nowhere else to go.

And thanks to the disguise lockets, all of our mutant Heroes were able to go up on the surface without causing a freak out, they were able to blend in with the crowd and go on the surface more in the day time than just going up there at night.

Not only that, Lori was allowed to go to school with her brother, and the turtles were allowed to go to school as well with her and Irma who eagerly want to go back to school and catch up on what she had missed and report to everyone that she was indeed alive, leaving out on the reason why she had been and gone for so long.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Mrs. White, Donnie, and Doctor Rockwell once again, they were able to make fake profiles for the mutants of the Hamato clan so that everyone can live peacefully without arousing any sort of Suspicion whatsoever. New York City was a very big place so nobody would really notice some new immigrants there.

And for those who had been picking on David, upon seeing his sister and confirming that she was indeed alive and that she was not angry or brother at all, felt awful for picking on him and apologize to him, including those from his old school. So Kyle was still causing a harassment for him, and he even tried to get a date with Lori, although she refused telling him she was already taken, Kyle was infuriated and tried to force her, only to be stopped by Mikey as he and his brother, to put it mildly, had a little "chat" with him and he never bothered her and her brother and anybody again. Though people could not help but stare at him oddly as he looked nervous, scared even, like he had seen in a phantom or something.

Each of the turtles got jobs during their time in school and even after graduation. So that they can have the money to support their families once they were ready to marry and have one of their own.

Leonardo worked at a new dojo, The Honor of Warriors, as a Aid, and because of his dedication, skill and devotion he rose to the rank of teacher and his lessons were very successful, Miwa also work there as his assist. Both of them worked hard to teach their students the true meaning of Honor and the lessons that they both had learned during their Adventures So that their students would not make the same mistakes that they did.

Raphael worked part time at the gym as a instructor, he also worked part-time at a pet shop and was pretty successful in both areas, because Raphael was good at giving his students motivation and pushing them to do their best, and he was pretty good at handling the animals no matter what kind they were be it dogs, cats, any kind of bird you could possibly think of from parrots to parakeets, hamsters and so on which surprised is coworkers a few times when it came down to some of the animals that gave them a hard time and yet he was able to calm them down without too much complications.

Plus as he promised his family, he been taking anger management classes from Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. White who had insisted on helping as well, and he was doing fairly well. Also Mona helped him at the gym too as she did not know what sort of career she could take other than the first part time job that Raph had besides going to school with him to see what it's like.

As for Donatello, he became a scientist and doctor. He came up with new cures for diseases, and many ways to enhance life with science and new inventions.

That revolutionized New York City and even Beyond that. And his reputation was spreading like wildfire, his friends and family always knew that he was a smart turtle and he always dreamed of one day showing his science and Discovery to the world but because he was a mutant turtle that could never happen, but thanks to the locket to disguise him as a human his dreams were coming true. Dr. Rockwell was his partner whenever he came to visit as the mutant monkey with the locket to appear in his true form, went back to his old lab and to fix the damage that dr. Falco caused while he was away for a few years.

Donnie's girlfriend April would assist him as his assistant at the lab he worked at when she wasn't busy with her babysitting service, It wasn't really that hard in her opinion, she's dealt with worse, her experience from her adventures it has prepared for several situations during her babysitting adventure's, plus the experience in childcare will really serve her a great deal of good if she ever has kids one day.

As for Michelangelo this was actually a surprise to his family and friends that he chose to be a novelist, as they all thought that he would try to become a pizza chef or a comic book artist. For the ladder he had said that he would Reserve that as something he would serve to his family, since they were the only ones that actually find most of his recipes appetizing, also he preferred to read what new surprises will come out of the comics he will get rather than write comics and already knowing what will happen. And as for the former, he wanted to write about some of his Adventure dreams He had on his mind, and, after a lot of begging and promising, write stories based on their Adventures, as long as he did not reveal anything crucial to them things would run smoothly.

To everyone surprise his first novel was very successful, he was 18 when a publisher wanted to publish his novel after he presented it to him " Rodeo detectives: the case of the Buckaroo diamond". They were also surprised that it was actually very creative and a real page-turner, Mikey had had the dream about the Rodeo Detectives being him and Donnie back on the day that the turtles went to rescue April's dad. His first book was flying off the shelves and selling like hotcakes, his books have been pretty successful since then. Plus for Mikey being a novelist means He gets a really big check, earning a lot more then his other siblings do in their jobs.

While for Lori, she was not sure what she wanted to do for an occupation, so Mikey told her to not worry about it too much and told her to just wait until she's ready rather than try to rush into things. Eventually when she turned 20 she decided to have a simple job like being a florist just like her mother, who returned to her job at the florist shop she use to work at, before she met Mikey and the things that happened in the past.

As for the rest of our heroes, Mr. And Mrs. Thomas went on with occupations, Irma became a tutor for the subjects of biology and Mathematics, Davy became a preschool teacher because he did not want any child to suffer like he and his sister did years ago and wanted to be a friend to children so that he could be someone to turn to for help, Abby was in her last year in high school and has not yet chosen what she wanted to do for an occupation though she has some aspirations for being a an artist, Casey became a professional hockey player and even taught hockey lessons on the side though he had some dreams about being a bounty hunter but never got to it, slash was currently unemployed though he resided with leatherhead who wanted to work at a florist as well because he wanted to have a nice quiet job and perhaps gardening and taking care of flowers would show him some ways to be gentle with some assistance from Mrs. white teaching him how to control his anger, pigeon Pete worked with messenger pigeons which was pretty good source of income especially when government wanted to use the birds to give messages to their allies, Kurtzman still worked on being a journalist for the newspaper and Mondo Gecko became a professional skateboarder just like he always dreamed.

As the years went by none of them could forget their final confrontation with shredder which led them to his defeat. If Mikey had not swiped those floor plans to Shredder's Lair one time when the turtles had invaded their, Mikey would not have gotten to the secret button in the throne room which open the trapdoor and Shredder fell through it which let him outside where the police were waiting and they would not have put Mrs. White's plan into action to use the lockets and prototype lockets to disguise some of them in human form and distract the police for a little bit so that the others can escape and take away any and all evidence of there being any involvement of mutations and the Kraang, plus if some of the members appear human to the police they would not believe Shredder if he's spouted out any mentions of mutants.

The final battle was what led them to their Victory and finally freeing the city and even the world from his tyranny.

There was still trouble on the streets of New York, but when trouble popped its ugly head our heroes would spring into action to save the day like they always do.

Anyways, Leo had proposed to Miwa about a year or two after they had graduated from high school, they both still reside in the sewers with their father. Raphael was the next to propose to his sweetheart, Mona, after acquiring enough money to buy a small home in an apartment for him and Mona to live in and with their future children when it came down to it. Mikey had proposed to Lori when she turned 22 on the anniversary of their Victory against the Foot Clan, Lori was completely speechless and happily accepted just like the other girls did with their lovers, Mikey and Lori resided in Lori's how with Rita ( Lori and Davy's mother and for Mikey his mother-in-law). Donnie had proposed to April on that same day to only about a few hours after Mikey proposed to Lori as Donnie was still very nervous but after some pep talk from his family he finally got the courage to ask her which she accepted too, they both reside in April's father's house who is the father-in-law of the Hamato boys.

Back to now, hours have gone by since his wife, Lori, has gone into labor, the only time Mikey stopped pacing was when Splinter have returned to the lair with Mrs. White, Kirby, Davy & Abby (Mr. And Mrs. Thomas were out of town so they were not able to be there for their eldest nieces big day) as the Mutant Rat and Mutant Puma hurry to help Donnie and Doctor Rockwell help Lori give birth to her baby or babies while Davie, Abby, and Kirby waited in the pit with the rest of the gang (Kirby was too nervous to help in the procedure).

A few things to note, one since the gang was in the lair they had no need to keep up their disguise so our mutant Friends by appearance were able to drop their disguises. Also the rest of the Mutanimals were not in town at the moment as they were on a mission with Kurtzman, and the reason why dr. Rockwell was not with them was because of two reasons, 1: he had an important project he need to finish up and he could not leave it unattended, & 2: he wanted to be there to help Lori since he's had experience in helping women give birth to their babies, just like he had helped Miwa, April, and Mona when they were with child and ready to give birth to their babies. April's Aunt still had no idea that they were mutants in her family, and that's how the gang preferred it as they did not want her to freak out about it and she was currently out of town too just as the others were.

Also another thing to add, if any of the gang went to the hospital for when the girls had gone into labor, there would be a freak out and the Gang will be put in danger knowing that the babies will be born as mutants. So the babies had to be delivered at the lair for each of the parents.

But Mikey was nervous and concerned for more than just one reason here besides the fact that he was going to be a father and he hoped that he would be a good father to his children, it was Lori. During her time when she was pregnant her stomach seem to swell bigger than how the other girl's stomach swelled when they were carrying their children ( each of the couples wanted to wait until their children were born to find out the gender for each of them). And half of the time it would cause a strain on her body and the gang had to help her get by so to not collapse or hurt herself. Then there was the really concerning fact that Giving birth was not easy and anything could go wrong there as Mikey had read and been told by Donnie, like a miscarriage, the baby could die at Birth, the mother could die but the child would live, or worst case scenario both the mother and the child would die, to name a few.

He could only hope that everything would run smoothly, and not have any doubt as he knew that doubtfulness only leads to serious trouble not to mention anxiety, hence why he was pacing to try and distract himself from those thoughts. Now he knew how his brothers felt when each of them was nervous when each of their wives were giving birth to their children.

Speaking of, each of the couple's baby's were resting in a playpen in the middle of the pit.

Leo and Miwa had twins, a son and a daughter. The son was born with a human form with pale tan skin, very short black and his eyes were like his fathers. And the daughter was born a turtle with green skin and shell just like his father, yet she had a long tail like her mother in her snake form, she had short black hair, her plaster was white instead of yellow and her eyes were exactly like her mother's. The son was named after Splinter's real name, Yoshi, and the daughter was named Tang Shen after Miwa's deceased mother.

Raph and Mona also gave birth to a set of twins, two daughters. The first one was a green turtle just like her father yet she had her mother's eyes and her mother's tail not to mention the spots on her head like her mother and her hands were like her's too. And the second girl was salamandrians just like her mother, her skin was a deep shade of blue just like her mother yet she had a turtle shell like her father but her turtle shell was an even deeper shade of blue like a navy blue, and she also had her father's eyes and she did not have spots like her older sister. The first girl was named Rachel, and the second girl is Uma.

Donnie and April had a son, he was human like April yet he had his father's eyes and his hair was the same color as Donnie skin, also he had a plaster but no turtle shell and his hands were like his father's. His name is Ernest.

And currently April was carrying Donatello's next child, they did not know what gender it would be, but they did say that if it was a boy he would be Aaron and if it was a girl her name would be Bianca.

The turtles tried to lend some encouraging words to the obviously stressed out turtle soon to be a first-time father which was Mikey.

Needless to say, Lori herself was thrilled to finally have a child with Mikey.

When she found out that she was pregnant, yes she was a bit daunted but otherwise she was so happy she cried, she was also going to be a mother. When Mikey found out he practically screamed so much in joy that he nearly blew everyone's ears out and fainted soon after he and hugged his wife close to him as he let out some tears of joy.

It was one of the happiest days of their lives, next to their wedding, when they finally beat Shredder, when Mikey proposed to Lori and when they confessed their feelings for the other.

Lori confessed her feeling when the gang got back to the lair after Tigerclaw escaped.

Mikey could still remember what she said to him:

" ... Mikey... words alone cannot describe how grateful I am to you, for everything you've done, it's thanks to you and your family that my family and those around me are finally free from shredders tyranny forever. .. you've been so kind and sweet to me, you are the most kindest Mutant Turtle I have ever met, you've always been there for me when I needed you the most, you're always know how to cheer me up, how to make me smile, when something was bugging or upsetting me you were always there to comfort me. You're kind, funny, wise beyond your years from time to time, you're a determined fighter, you always know how to cheer anybody up, you're always there for your brother's and friends just as they are always there for you, ... You are cute and handsome... and just like you, it hurts me greatly to see you broken up and very upset, crying and miserable, it scares me just says it scares you when you see me in that State... you're always there to remind me that I belong, remind me of the person that I chose to be, the person that everyone knows today... I did not really understood why I always had this odd feeling whenever I was around you, I didn't know where to ask or who I should ask about it... but now I know. .. and it makes sense now... from what you said back at that tyrants lair... The answer dawned on me like the morning sun... that the feelings I've been feeling are the same as yours... I love you, Michelangelo Makoto Hamato."

Words alone could never describe how happy Mikey was when she said that on that day eight years ago. The orange masked turtle smiled softly, as the pleasant memory replayed into his mind.

It did calm him down, but only a little bit.

"Mikey... Earth to Mikey!"

Mikey snapped out of his daze and flinched when he heard that shout in his ear and turned to the source of it, which was his eldest brother, Leo.

"Your mind going else where?" He asked him.

"Obvious isn't it?" Mikey said, not bothering to hide it as he knew that the others could see it.

"Trust me we all know how you feel," Leo started. "Me, Raph and Donnie. We were all very nervous and stressful."

"Ain't that the truth." Raph agreed, "you remember how nervous I was?"

"How could any of us forget?" Mona commented, "you were so nervous, scared even, that you were not going to be a good enough father or even risk hurting our daughters that you didn't want to hold them."

"Because you were scared that you would drop them."

"And remember when Donnie was so nervous that he would not stop talking for hours?" Davy added. "He just wouldn't shut up no matter what we did."

"I can't forget that, my head is still trying to wrap around the quantum mechanics of trigonometry." Miwa agreed, "I still get a headache just thinking about it."

"And lets not forget how Leo was reacting when his wife was in labor," Abby chimed in.

"Oh yes," Miwa replied. "He was so scared."

He wouldn't sit still, he was jumpy, he even tackled Raph out of surprise when he snuck up on him unintentionally."

That one made everyone chuckle, even Mikey, which relieved them to see him smile within this ordeal.

"What about you Mr. O'Neill?" Davy then asked his second father in law curiously. "What was it like when your wife was in labor?"

Kirby smiled as he replied, "believe it or not, the way I was acting then, it was the same as how Mikey is acting now."

"Really?" Mikey gazed at him.

"Yes." Kirby replied, "I was pacing for what felt like hours on end like you were, I could not stop thinking about my wife, Beth, worried, wondering if she was okay, if our Daughter was okay, Hoping nothing bad will happen, my thoughts going back to some of our happier times before we were married, all of it. Though the only difference was that I was pacing so much without that collapsed from exhaustion and I needed my mother in law to bring me to my wife and Daughter because my legs felt like lead."

Rubbing his head sheepishly Mikey thought that would have probably been his case if he didn't stop pacing just now.

"And I remember you said that you could not stop crying when you saw me and held me in your arms. Right?" April asked her father as she came in a tray of small sandwiches and cups of water for everyone.

"Yes that's right." Her father nodded, "you were small, yet you had a bright friendly smile on your face as I couldn't stop crying. Holding you in my arms, only made me realize more then ever how special you are to your mother and I. We loved you before you were born, and we loved you even more when you in our arms. Words alone could not describe how happy we were."

"The feeling mutual here sir." Raph chimed in as everyone else except Mikey agree nodded in agreement.

Mikey wondered how it will feel when ... they were born (According to Donnie Lori was carrying more then one child due to how she has been doing during pregnancy but could not confirm how many due to them being clustered up in her stomach in angles that prevented him from figuring it out, so they decided to wait until they were born to find out )... from what that told him... what-?

Just then Mikey's train of thought was interrupted when he and the others heard footsteps coming out of the dojo, the game turn to see Rita, Splinter, Donnie (who had tears in their eyes) and Doctor Rockwell (who seem to be hiding his tears) there as they came down the stairs with big smiles on their faces.

Mikey approach them, his heart pounding, his face showed he wanted to know what was going on, he was about to ask but he got his answer as Rita replied:

"Lo and your children are doing okay, the delivery went successfully without any complications."

Mikey sighed in relief having heard her said that before he suddenly stopped mid way when he realized something. What she said?

"Children?" Mikey asked softly, hesitant but stunned.

"Yeah little brother, children." Donnie said, joy was written on his face like the adult mutants were, "and more than twins actually."

"Indeed. A son and three daughters" Rockwell said as he held back a chuckle, "congratulations Michelangelo, you are the proud father of quadruplets."

Mikey's jaw dropped. His eyes felt like they were ready to pop out of their sockets, his heart skipped a beat, his mind running like an engine as he took in what the Mutant monkey and his turtle brother said to him.

Quadruplets.

He had Quadruplets. Just like his father. Only difference was that he and his brother's were adopted by Splinter. .. and ... His kids are actually born from his loins...

A son... and three daughters. ... this was unbelievable!

After a few moments of silence which felt like an eternity to him, Mikey then asked, though a bit shy and hesitant: "Can... can I see them?"

"Of course my son." Splinter nodded, smiling tiredly but filled with joy.

The turtle hastily followed Donnie to go into the dojo. Donnie lead Mikey into the dojo leading him to splinters room as the others followed behind him.

Also for those of you wondering, the lab got messed up by Casey (who has a hockey match today hence why he wasn't here with his friends, much to his distain) who was practicing his hockey moves and some of his hockey pucks ricocheted off the walls and broke some of Donnie's equipment and cause a mess, including knocking some of his chemicals on the floor.

So for the sake of sanitary and health, Donnie and Rockwell had to grab what they needed that was okay and deliver Lori's children in the dojo in Splinter's room as the mutant rat though it would be best since it was more tighter then the others rooms (rivaling Leo and Miwa's room and the nursery) and provide more privacy.

Anyways back to now.

As soon as Mikey arrived in Splinter's room... What he saw... He could not put into words how he was feeling right there and then as his eyes widen, his jaw dropped a bit and his eyes were moistened.

Lori was on Splinter's bed in a sitting up position as she had a pillow against her back as it pressed against the wall as she was smiling softly down at the bundles of joy in her arms. Their son and daughters. As Lori had tears in her eyes.

As Mikey slowly got closer until he sat beside her, Lori looked up at him as she saw he was stunned for words and tears were welling in his eyes as the mutant turtle was getting a good look at their children as the babies looked back at him, curious, upon noticing him come in.

The son, the first oldest and the only boy in bundle In Lori's arms in a blue blanket, was a lion who had Spring Green fur with a small tuff of black hair which would also serve as the mane on his head and his eyes were the color of the ocean, his eye color was the same as those that belong to Lori's deceased father.

The second oldest and the first daughter, wrapped in a pale pink blanket, was a puma with gray fur obviously from the mix of black and white fur colors from both of Lori's parents fur colors, her eyes were the same color as Michelangelo's himself.

The third eldest and the second daughter, wrapped in a Lantana pink blanket, was a mixed breed, she was a gray turtle with a small tuff of black hair and her ears were like that of a puma which were also black, her tail was like that of a lioness as the hair at the end of it was also black, her plaster and her shell were both black as the night, and her eyes were the same color as Lori eyes.

And finally the youngest and the third and last daughter, wrapped in a hot pink blanket, was a turtle. Her skin was as white as snow, far whiter than the color of her mother's fur, she had a small tuft of hair on her head which was is the same color as Lori's which was like a platinum blond white like her, both her plaster and shell were very pale pastel yellow, and finally her eyes which seem to stand out and shine, were mix matched. The left eye was a baby blue just like Mikey's, and the right eye was a sea foam green just like her mother's.

Slowly but surely Mikey started to smile, until it was very wide with such abundant joy as the tears around his eyes were ready to fall.

He was finally now a father. "They're here, there they are... I'm ..I'm a father..." Mikey said softly as the tears fell as his voice was a broken, not from sorrow, anger and fear, but of overwhelming joy.

"Yes, And I'm a mother..." Lori said softly too with a nod.

"Oh Lorelei, they're so beautiful. .. I'm just... I can't put to words about how happy I am." Mikey said, trying to wipe the tears away, but failing.

Mikey was the only other person besides his father, mother in law, aunt and uncle in law, leatherhead and Dr. Rockwell to call her by her real name, Mikey still called her Lori, rarely Lo or even Locket (pet name), but it was one of these moment's where he'd say her full first name.

"Same here." Lori nodded as her tears fell too.

The two gave a brief kiss on the lips before everyone else came in.

"Awww!" The ladies cooed upon seeing the cute little Darlings.

"They're so precious and cute!" Abby exclaimed but softly at the sight of her newest nephew and niece's. She loved all of her nephew's and niece's she gained from her brothers and sisters in law even though she was not related by blood she still loved all of them.

"Congrats Mikey." Raph said, giving his baby brother a side hug.

Everyone gave their congratulations to the new parents. And soon the babies were being held in their new relatives arms.

The only boy in the litter was in Splinters arms as he was purring as he was cuddling his grandfathers right hand like a stuffed animal. Miwa, Leo and Abby chuckled at this.

The second born was in Raph's arms as the first little girl was looking at the lightning bolt shaped scar on his plaster curiously as she was feeling it, tracing it while Mona, April and Donnie were petting her softly while she was distracted, her purring without knowing it as it made Raph chuckled.

The third born and only multi-mix breed was in Rita's arms, napping as Rockwell and Davy could not take their eyes off of her as she had her tiny hands around Rockwell's right index finger as he gave Rita a side hug. Rockwell and Rita have been dating since Lori's senior year in high school (Rockwell is 2 1/2 years older then Mrs. White) and they got along very well.

And finally the youngest, somewhat smallest and the only White (and pale yellow) turtle was in her fathers arms. She had some little tears a minute ago and was close to crying until Mikey started Rocking her slowly, humming a lullaby, as it calmed her down as she clung to her fathers plaster chest where his heart was as tightly as her tiny soft hands could as her father gently wiped her tears away.

"So what will you call them?" Davy asked his youngest brother in law and little sister (biological), trying to pry his eyes off the new born girl in his mothers arms.

Mikey turn to his wife after taking a minute to think, Lori saw the look in his eyes, like he knew what to call them, still smiling Lori nodded to him, letting him take the floor.

"Well for our son I was thinking maybe... Paul-Yuuta." Mikey said.

This made stunned both Rita and Splinter as they realize something almost instantly as they stared at Mikey in shock, Mikey saw this and replied before they could speak saying:

"Paul is the name of Lori's father, Mom's husband, and Yuuta is the name of Sensei's master and father, Hamato Yuuta, so I thought since it would mean a lot to you both I thought it would be suitable to call him Paul-Yuuta."

Kirby, who had been hanging back while all of this was going on, still trying to fathom the act that he had even more grandkids then before, chimed in as he said:

"I think it sounds like a unique name, what do you guys think?"

"I agree too," Leo said.

Everyone else nodded too.

Both Rita and Splinter had tears in their eyes as they soon smiled and nodded.

"Yes.. I believe it is a suitable name for our Grandson." Splinter replied.

"Likewise. I agree." Rita replied too.

Mikey nodded before he turn to his brother Raph as he then said, "The girl in your arms Raph? I was thinking that Sakura would be a great name for her."

"Sakura... its cherry blossom in Japanese." Raph deduced. "And isn't Sakura the name-?"

"Of the woman who tried to save me and Lori eighteen years ago but was killed by Shredder? Yes that's right." Mikey cut in as he nodded, "even though it she could not save us, I saw that she was Regretful for being a fool, for not being able to stop him, for ever going to work for him in the first place. She.. she died as she cried with regret... I know this seems odd naming her after that woman... but... I feel like I owed her for it even if her efforts were in vain...you know?"

Lori smiled, as she nodded her head.

Along with Raph and Mona.

"I think its a great name for her. Plus it matches the color of her blank, it kinda makes her look like one." Raph said, smiling.

"Yes I too agree Michelangelo." Mona chimed, smiling too, "it sounds pretty, and with time she'll become kunoichi whose as graceful as her namesake, with a fighters heart."

"You took the words right out of my mouth Mona." Lori agreed with her salamandrian sister in law as she giggled softly.

"And what will you call your third child?" Rockwell inquired.

"Easy, Verena." Mikey answered right away confidently.

"Verena... from my knowledge and study on the language of Latin it means truthful." The mutant monkey deduced.

"Yes that's right, I thought it might fit her well, because her eyes, when she was staring at me earlier, kinda acted like Donnie. Studying me, watching what I was doing. Her eyes seem to spark in seeking the truth for herself." Mikey explained.

Donnie chuckled softly at this.

"That sounds like a beautiful name, and it suits her pretty well." April comments, taking the words out of her husband's mouth as Donnie nodded.

"And the youngest?" Miwa asked Mikey, "what will her name be?"

Looking down at his youngest little girl in his arms, who stared back at him, eyes teaming with curiosity and wonder as if wanting to know what will her name be. Mikey's smile never ceased as he knew exactly what to name her, thanks to some research on names he and Lori did during her pregnancy as Mikey remembered a name in particular he stumbled upon:

"Shirayuki," He said fondly.

"Shirayuki... That means Snow white, white as snow, in Japanese." Miwa deduced before smiling knowingly, "... it's perfect."

"Yes, it suits her perfectly." Splinter agreed.

"Because she looks like her namesake, indeed it is perfect." Mrs. White agreed too.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Paul-Yuuta, Sakura, Verena and Shirayuki, All of those names are perfect, Mikey." Lori told him as he turn to face her as her smile never wavered, "I could not have thought of better names for them like you could. "

Mikey chuckled slightly before he gave her a kiss on the lips before softly hugging each other with Shirayuki sandwiched softly in the middle, who was cooing curiously.

After a while everyone left the room so that Lori and her babies could rest as those who are holding her babies were returned to their mother's arms, the only one who remained was Mikey as he wanted to be with his family, oh how happy it made him to finally have a family of his own, and he knew that Lori felt the same way.

Mikey himself was exhausted as well due to all the stress, panic, worry he had felt previously, and all the pacing that he had done for several hours straight without rest, so he settled in next to Lori in bed as all of them fell into a peaceful dreamless sleep as Lori had Verena and Sakura in her arms while Mikey had Paul-Yuuta and Shirayuki in his arms.

They knew that this was the beginning of their new life as a family, and while there may still be criminals out there, and they all knew too well and they have not forgotten that Tigerclaw was still out there somewhere no doubtably planning his revenge and obviously waiting for the right time to strike even though no one has seen nor heard from him for nearly a decade, no matter what may come their way they would be ready for what life may throw at them and they would do anything to keep their family safe.

But for now they would take in the peace and the serenity that they have and they would cherish every single moment that they would have with their children and with her whole family.

Yes no doubtably new adventures await this new family along with the others, but this, dear readers, is where the story ends.
