Thankful
Chapter VI: I think I'm pregnant
1 By: Michelle
Raphael looked at all of the shocked faces around him. He didn't understand why they were all looking at him that way. He looked at Casey for answers.
"Venus has gone into labor."
Raphael's mouth dropped open.
"She's going to give birth in a few hours."
Raphael suddenly got the feeling of nausea coming over him.
"You're going to be a father by the end of the day."
Suddenly, Raphael made a mad dash to the bathroom, where he hung his head over the toilet.
Thoughts filled his head…He was going to be a father. Was he truly ready for this?

"Raphael, I'm fine." Venus argued as she rinsed her mouth out.
"No, you are not. You are sick, Venus." Raphael said. "You should not have eaten that pizza last night."
"Raph, just go to practice. Splinter is waiting."
Raphael shook his head. "No, not until you lie down."
Venus sighed. Even Raphael knew something was not right with her. Why was she feeling this way?
Raphael wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "You need to rest. OK. You are making me worry."
"Fine." She said softly. "I'll lie down in a few minutes. I'm going to call April and see if she can get me some medicine."
^^^^^^
Venus picked up the phone and dialed April's work.
"Hello, is Miss O ' Neil available." Venus sighed. "Sure, I'll hold."
"This is April O ' Neil. How may I help you?"
"Hey April."
"Oh Hi Venus. How have you been feeling? Raphael told Casey you have been sick for a couple of days now."
"Yeah."
"Are you feeling better?"
"No…yeah…I don't know." Venus said with a shaky voice.
"Venus, what's wrong?"
"I'm late on my period. I've been throwing up for the last four mornings. I'm so tired and I feel so strange." Venus cried. "Donatello thinks I'm pregnant."
"Venus, look it's going to be OK." April sighed. "My friend Irma is coming to my apartment to try on her bridesmaid gown tonight. Why don't you have Raph drop you off and I'll get a pregnancy test OK?"
"OK." Venus said as she calmed down.
"OK. I'll see you tonight."
"Thanks April." Venus hung up the phone and wiped a tear from her eye.
"I'm right, aren't I." Donatello said.
Venus jumped. She didn't realize he was there. "Aren't you suppose to be at practice?"
"Aren't you suppose to be in bed?"
Venus sighed.
"Look, Raphael wanted me to take you temperature and make sure you are in bed." Donatello began following her to her room. "But, unless you have something to admit to me…"
"Donnie. Look. I'm fine." Venus said holding her head high. "I have nothing to admit to you."
"OK, but when you do, I'll be waiting for you to admit how right I am."
^^^^^^
"Are you sure you are going to be alright?" Raphael said as he drove up to April's apartment building.
"I'll be fine. It's just some girls wedding stuff. Plus, April has a light dinner for me and some medicine." Venus kissed Raphael's cheek. "I'll call you when I am ready."
"Alright."
Venus watched Raphael drive off before she headed upstairs to April's apartment.
^^^^^^
"Hey, Venus." April said as she opened the door. "Irma just tried on the dress. Are you feeling OK?"
"I'm nervous."
"Everything's going to be OK."
Irma came into the room. "Zip me up will you."
"Sure." April said and zipped up Irma's dress.
Venus looked at the dress. It was so beautiful.
"Perfect fit. Alls you need are shoes and fancy hairdo."
"Alright, now help me get it off."
April turned to Venus. "Just sit on the couch for a sec while I help her."
^^^^^^
April opened the box to the pregnancy test.
"Will this work for me?" Venus asked.
"It should." April replied. "The zoos have used them on gorillas."
^^^^^^
While they waited for the results….
"So, who's the one." Irma asked.
"Raphael."
"Oh, she goes for the wild ones."
Venus began to blush.
^^^^^^
"It's time." April said and read the instructions on the box. "Plus if you're pregnant. Minus if your not."
"I can't look." Venus backed up just before she could see the results.
"I'll look."
Irma hugged Venus. "It's going to be OK."
April picked up the test and looked at the box. "Oh, my God!"
"What?"
"You're pregnant."
Venus placed her hand over her mouth and began to cry. "I'm going to have a baby."
"You're going to have a baby." April and Irma embraced Venus in a hug.
Tears of joy rolled down Venus' face. She didn't know when she had ever felt happier in her life.
Suddenly, a worried feeling came over her. How was she going to tell Raphael?
^^^^^^^
Venus laid her head on Raphael's chest.
"You feeling OK. You have been quiet since I picked you up."
"I feel wonderful." She kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Raphael returned the kiss.
Venus snuggled closely in his arms. How was she going to tell him?
