About ten seconds after coming to the realization that Aarien and he might have a potential future child/children...
Don went into melt down mode and started trashing his lab. Well okay, 'trashing' was too strong a word for simply tossing a few papers over his shoulders here and there while pulling out his supply of bubble wrap and a tool box full of some awesome odds and ends he had gotten from April and Casey last year so that he could get started of that fantastic- if somewhat of an overkill, security system.
And when he was done fixing it and making it into like a watch or necklace or something that she could carry on her at all times, he was going to ambush his brothers and start drilling the significance of Aarien staying in one piece while being 'future' pregnant. Because as much as thinking of Aarien as pregnant with his young, terrified him. It also thrilled him on some deeper more primordial level. Which was why he was sitting here in his lab, on the paper and bubble wrap strewn floor, coming up with possibly one of the most intricate security systems he'd ever come up with before.
Because no one messed with his mate and (again 'future') young. He thought with a low rumbling growl, No one.
He finished the design for the security system ten minutes after pulling out his tool box. Deciding to break it down into several pieces. 1) The first piece would be a silent alarm that would work on a signal that would be fed straight to the shell cell of himself and his brothers automatically from a necklace or bracelet. 2) The second piece would be a key chain that would work as a tracking device. And 3) Would be a piece that Aarien could wear in her hair.
He knew that she wore most of her hair up in a clip so far. So maybe he could convince her to alter her hair style a bit (maybe take out some of the little braids and cut her hair) and leave it down some so that he could fix a few different hair items. A couple of hair clips, one with a laser, another with a small explosive charge- no! Wait! No explosives.
Explosives were bad and damaging and could even kill if one didn't know what they were doing. And as much as he may think Aarien might know a thing or two about explosions since some of the special effects in some of her concerts and music video's were small ones- he wanted her nowhere near something that could blow her to bits.
So maybe an taser-like hair item instead.
No one would expect someone as sweet and innocent looking as Aarien to wear something that he could rig to give off a few (hundred) or thousand volts. It would take some real creative doing- but luckily Don wasn't the type of geek to back down from a challenge.
Oh! And while he was working, maybe he should bet some one or two materials from Splinter so that he could also design and create Aarien a pretty little engagement ring. Unless of course she just wanted to pick one out and buy it online. Or he could go above ground and the two of them could pick it out together and make the time spent like a date or something.
Yeah that sounded like fun.
He would have to check his bank account to make sure that he'd have everything covered. But right now he was pretty sure that he had enough to buy her a nice diamond ring, take to a movie, or dinner in a nice restaurant, or maybe even dancing. He'd have to run it by a few of the human friends he and his family had made over the years to see if one or two of them could help him out- and he would definitely have to run things by Leo and Splinter before he decided on anything concrete.
But once he had a plan, he fully intended to knock Aarien's socks off.
