Casey and Leonardo slowly came in the bathroom.
"Are you alright, Raph?" Leonardo asked.
"I ain't sure." Raphael answered as he hung his head over the toilet again.
"Relax man." Casey assured him. "I know how nervous you are. I've been there."
Raphael lifted his head. He thought to himself 'bullshit' and hung his head over the toilet again.

Worried about Venus' pregnancy, Splinter arranged for their friends Obento and Usagi Yojimbo to help Venus. Obento owns an animal shelter in the middle of the city. He often worked with the local vets, New York zoos, and state parks. Splinter hoped he could now help a mutant.
So, Splinter, Venus, Raphael, and Donatello went to the animal shelter to meet with Obento in the evening.
"You must be Venus." Obento said to her and Raphael. "I am Obento and this is Usagi."
Venus squeezed Raphael's hand. She was nervous because he was a human, but she knew she was in good hands. Then, she looked a Usagi. She was shocked to see he was a rabbit, but then she remembered the stories the guys told her.
Obento led Venus into one of his operation rooms. "Lay on this table." He instructed.
Venus looked over to Raphael who nodded that everything was all right. Then, she lay down.
Obento began to feel her belly.
Venus began to worry. She wasn't sure what he was doing.
Obento sensed her uneasiness and took her hand. "Feel." He said. "The lower part of your shell isn't as hard as the rest.
"What does that mean?" Raphael asked just as confused as Venus was.
"I believe her body is making adjustments to accommodate her pregnancy."
Donatello thought for a moment. "So, she is able to have a live birth, like a human would."
"Yes." Obento began to explain. "If I am not mistaken, her pregnancy will be exactly like a humans. However…"
"However what?" Raphael asked.
"However, there is only one way the baby can come out." Obento informed them. "With her shell, there is no such thing as a C-section."
Fear rushed over all of them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Raphael couldn't sleep that night. If there were a problem, they would loose the baby. He could loose Venus.
Venus noticed Raphael tossing and turning.
'Raph, are you feeling all right?"
"Yeah, s'just." Raphael took a deep breath. "If anything goes wrong."
"I know." She kissed him on the cheek. "Everything is going to turn out fine."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hana and April came in the room to she how Venus was doing.
"Hey Venus!" Hana said excitedly.
"You doing alright." April asked.
"Yes, I'm fine." Venus looked down at her large belly. "Obento says the babies have turned and everything should go smoothly. However, I have a ways to go."
April smiled. "Well, we are here for you if you need us."
"Thanks April. Hana." Venus let out a sigh as they left the room. Where was Raphael?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
April 6, 2001
"Hey Raph! Hey Vee! I found out the due date." Donatello said as he waved a sheet of paper in his hand.
Everyone gathered in the den to hear.
"The baby is due on November 15, 2001."
Raphael looked at him puzzled. "So, where did you get that date from."
"Well, I asked Venus when…personal questions and used the information to estimate." Donatello explained. "It's very simple once you figure out when the baby is conceived."
Venus smiled.
"So," Raphael asked. "When was the baby conceive?"
"Well according to my printout." Donatello looked over the paper. "February 14, 2001."
"Valentine's Day." Raphael's eyes widened.
"We all know what you were doing on Valentine's Day." Michaelangelo began to laugh.
Raphael blushed. Venus grabbed his hand and kissed his cheek.
"So that's why he was in a good mood the next day." Mondo Gecko added.
Raphael blushed even more.
"Duh." Leonardo joined in. "Venus gave him some."
Raphael was kind of shocked Leonardo made that comment.
"That's enough you guys." Kimmico said and tried to stop Michaelangelo from laughing at all the comments.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Later that night….
"So Valentine's Day huh…" Raphael said as he lay down on the bed.
Venus lay next to him. "Yeah. That was on special night."
"I know." Raphael boasted. "I was there."
Venus giggled. "You are as bad as your brothers."
"Nah. I'm worse."
"I love you." Venus said and laid her head on his chest.
"I love you too."
Raphael lay there with Venus asleep in his arms. It just did not hit him how this special night would lead him into some of the scariest nights of his life.
