Raphael plopped down on the couch next to Venus and handed her a plate with pickles and chocolate cake. "What are you so happy about?"
"It's one week until my due date." She smiled and placed one hand on her extremely large belly.
Raphael placed on hand on her belly. "These months have flown by."
"I know." Venus placed the plate on her belly. "Check it out Raph. It's balancing."
Raphael looked at the plate and laughed.

Leonardo, Mikey, Mondo, Kat, Zenobia, Kimmico, and Shadow rushed into the animal shelter.
"Did we miss anything?" Leonardo asked.
"Yeah, did Venus turn into something off the Exorcist yet?" Mikey picked.
Hana greeted Mondo Gecko. "No, she didn't have them yet."
All of them plopped down on chairs or on the floor to await the arrival of the twins.
"She must be so excited." Zenobia smiled and leaned against the wall. She placed a hand on her belly. She knew she was excited. She wondered if Donatello would feel the same way. Poor Donnie. She wondered how he was holding up in the room with Venus and Raph.
"I bet she killed Raph." Mondo Gecko laughed to himself.
Hana wrapped an arm around him. "No, he's alive. I heard him arguing with Venus about painkillers."
"Ten bucks says Venus looks like the chick off the Exorcist by the time she has the twins." Mikey added.
"I'm in." Casey agreed.
"You two are horrible." Kimmico shook her head.
Kat leaned in Leonardo's arms. 'I want one.' She whispered to him.
"Huh." Leonardo's eyes widened. Kat rest her head on his chest.

"Today we are going to be parents." Venus smiled and hugged Raphael.
Everyone gathered around her.
"You know." Donatello informed her. "Not all births happened on there due dates."
"Don't jinx me." Venus said. "They've been in here long enough. But, I do think I will miss being pregnant."
"Why do you say that?" Kimmico asked.
"I don't know. It just feels like they are a part of me. It's going to feel weird when they aren't in there anymore."
Casey laughed. "Yeah, it's much better having them run around the house and climb the walls."
"Very funny." April said. Then, she noticed Zenobia sleeping on the couch. "Donatello, is Zenobia feeling alright."
"She said she was tired and wasn't feeling good." Donatello glanced over at her. "She won't let check her."
Venus smiled. "I'm sure she's fine. She just needs to rest." She knew exactly what was up. She was just surprised Donatello didn't figure it out.
