Okey Dokey Peeps, This next scene is about as close as to Mpreg as you're ever getting from me...The inspiration for Donatello's weight gain came from a book Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice for all Creation in one segment discussing Moorhens Females prefer males who are fat so they'll be able to incubate the nest better and small so they'll lose weight less quickly as Dr. Titiana put it 'Short and Dumpy is in'

After a thorough inspection Kong and Ichabod discovered something very interesting about Mutant Red Earred Sliders, they shared their discovery with Don.

"Really?" Don asked "You mean...I'm in no danger of pyramidding?"

Meanwhile at 3 in the afternoon Raph finally reached Felly Forest, he limped to the nearest cabin, where Leo and Mikey were watching the HV

"Glad you could finally show up." Leo said

Raph then promptly flopped down weakly,unable to walk one more step

"So...Where were you last night?"Leo asked

"Shut up." Raph said weakly

"Oh man!"Mikey chuckled "I think I know what happened to him last night! Look at his legs Leo! He's been walkin' the walk of shame!"

"I said shut up!" Raph snapped that's when Don came in laughing with pure relief

"Oh man." Don chuckled "Thanks so much Guys...This info...I had no idea."

"Well." Said Ichabod "Since there were never any Mutant Red Eared Sliders before you...You really couldn't have had an idea before what happens when a Male Mutant Slider is about to become a Father."

"Holy Shell Raph!" Don noticed his Brother's near corpse like state "What happened to you?"

"Obviously a wild night last night." Leo said "He as yet to tell exactly what that entailed."

Don currently feeling chipper and compassionate helped his brother off the floor and to the sofa.

"So Leo..." Don said "...Ichabod and Kong both gave me a thorough examination and well... These love handles..." He grabbed his own love handles smiling, knowing they were nothing to be ashamed of "...Apparently my body is getting ready for brooding."

"What you like what Raph does?" Mikey asked

"By brooding he means incubating a nest." Ichabod said coming forward "The extra fat at his sides we discovered is brown fat, which is different from white fat, it is the kind of fat animals develop for hibernation...And in this case for brooding."

"I don't know if we Mutant Turtles store this fat for actual incubation of eggs or so we can gaurd the nest for a really long time without food but I'm in no danger of pryamiding as long as I don't eat like...A truckload of food daily."

"He should eat a bit more then he usaully does during this time." Ichabod said "So a portion of his meals can be stored in his reserves and the rest will be feul for the rest of him...Kong and I speculated he may crave certain nutriants at certain points."

Don covered his mouth as he laughed, his Brothers had never seen him so mirthful, becoming a Father really seemed to be transforming him, Body and Soul

"So..." Don chuckled "Don't be surprised if a suddenly ask for pickles and ice cream." His brothers laughed with him except for Raph, exsausted his felt his own sides, and then he felt it...Yesterday his sides, like most of his body was hard enough to bounce a penny of of...But there was one spot...Wasn't there before...That had a bit of give. And here Don was talking about how Mutant Turtles develop love handles when they're about to become Fathers.

Raph knew all to well what this meant. And deep insdide of him a small terrified voice asked 'What have I done?'

That was when Bob came in.

"Guys! Guys!" He said, he thumped his tail for attention

"I have had a vision!" He said "The Assassonation Attempt on Belladonna is planned to happen tonight!"

And with that we flip from mirth to murder...Tune in next time
