Venus laid back on the recliner and sighed.

"You alright babe." Raphael asked sitting on the couch.

"Does it look like I'm alright?" Venus griped. "I'm three days overdue. I feel like I'm going to explode."

Raphael grabbed her hand. "I know how you feel. Michaelangelo's spinach and garlic pizza makes me feel like that."

Venus glared at him. "This is no side affect from pizza."

Raphael backed off. "Umm, I love you."

Venus sighed. He didn't understand.

Raphael held Venus' hand as she went through another contraction.

"Are they out?" Venus said as she relaxed.

"No, but you're doing good, babe." Raphael comforted her.

"Oh shut up."

Venus sat down on the table at the animal shelter. "Why are they still in here?" She complained.

Obento felt her belly. "There just not ready to come out yet. It can be any day now."

Venus sighed. "Any day."

"Are you serious?" Raphael whined. "I have to continue to listen to her bitch all day."

"I'm Sorry Venus. I don't know what to tell you."

"Is there a way induce the labor?" Venus asked. "You know, speed it up."

Obento thought for a moment. "I have heard of a few ways."

"What are they?" Venus demanded.

"I've read that a long walk or spicy food or even sex could cause you to go in labor."

"We'll have to try that." Venus smiled at Raphael.

Raphael took a bite of the food Venus prepared. "Oh shit." He ran to the sink and began drinking water.

'It's not even spicy Raph." Venus took a bite of her food. "And they are still in here." She griped feeling her belly.

"Well, you want to go for another walk." Raphael said drying his face.

"What's the use?" Venus sighed. "They are stubborn like you and don't want to come out."

Raphael sat next to her. "Well, what else can we do?"

"We could have sex." Venus smiled.

"No." Raphael said. "There is no way."

"Oh come on." Venus whined. "It's been a while." She said seductively.

"Yeah, but last time you didn't look like you swallowed a beach ball."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Venus squinted in pain as a tear rolled down her cheek. The pain was just getting worse and worse. "I need the drugs."

"It's a little too late for that now." Obento informed her.

"But I need them."

"It's too late for that babe." Raphael reminded her.

"OH SHUT UP YOU BASTARD."

"Huh." Raphael was speechless.

"YOU DID THIS TO ME." Venus screamed.

"But I."

"AFTER THIS, I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU CASTRATED SO YOU CAN NEVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN."

"It's alright Raphael." Obento said to him. "It's just the pain talking."

"I NEED THE DRUGS." Venus demanded.

"Sounds more like the Exorcist." Donatello commented. "If her head rotates, I'm out of here."

Thanksgiving Morning

November 22, 2001

Venus snuggled close to Raphael. "Good morning handsome."

"Don't even start." Raphael said. "I ain't doing it."

"Come on." Venus slid her hand up his thigh. "No one is up yet."

"Stop."

"No." Venus kissed him.

Raphael moaned. "Alright." He said and began kissing her.

"Good Morning." Michaelangelo swung the door of their room open. "Is this a bad time."

"No." Raphael sighed. "We're coming."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"She's at ten centimeters." Obento announced. "It's time to start pushing."

Venus nodded her head and Raphael tightened his grip on her hand.

"Donatello, I need you to be ready with a towel."

"Alright." Donatello picked up a towel. He was so nervous.

"You too April." Obento instructed and Donatello handed her a towel.

"It's going to be alright." Splinter wiped the sweat from Venus head. "You're going to do fine."

Venus looked around the room. Could she do this? Was she ready? She looked up at Raphael.

"I love you." Raphael kissed her cheek.
