~ Okay, the thing I figure for the pregnancy is that since the guys were mutated, they have human qualities and so that's how I figure it. I'm explaining it here because it doesn't explain it in the story. Also I'm going to be revising what I have so far of future chapters, I notice they keep getting shorter, so I'm going to work on that. Enjoy!

In New York, the snow was falling around the busied shoppers as they hurried around buying Christmas presents. Down in the lair, Nancy was curled up in Michelangelo's arms on the couch. They were watching TV with the guys. Nancy was now about four months pregnant but they still didn't tell the guys. They decided they would tell them when the time was right but it seems that time never came up. In practice Nancy had started lagging and getting sick, so Master Splinter eased up her practices.

Raphael returned to the room with a bowl of popcorn looked at Nancy with a puzzled look then sat down.

"Nanc, you're getting fat," Raphael commented. Nancy sat straight up and immediately looked at her stomach.

"I'm not fat," Nancy returned. Raphael spit his popcorn out realizing he spoke out loud.

"Well, you're getting a pooch thing on your stomach," Raphael tried to recover. "It doesn't look bad, I just noticed." Donatello shook his head and went off into the lab. He didn't want to see where this was going to go.

"For your information Raph," Michelangelo was not happy with Raphael calling Nancy fat. "She's four months, oops!" Michelangelo covered his mouth hearing his slip up. Nancy covered her face in her hands. She didn't want them to find out like this. Peeking out, Leonardo looked like he was frozen, Raphael was gagging on some popcorn.

"Things I did not need to know about my brother," Raphael finally spit out. Leonardo was speechless. Nancy stood up and went to get Master Splinter. When they returned to the living room, they knew she had already told him. Leonardo, regaining movement went over and placed his hand on Nancy's stomach.

"Is it Mikey's?" He asked. Nancy nodded. "Wow," he breathed and sat down. Donatello came back into the room very excited.

"Nancy, Nancy, I have some very exciting news for you," Donatello exclaimed grabbing her hand and pulling her into his lab.

"I've think we've had enough excitement," Raphael said following everyone in. Donatello led Nancy to a large mirror like looking machine.

"What is it?" Nancy asked.

"A dimensional portal," Donatello said. "I came in here and started tinkering with it and it started to work. Now you can go home!" Nancy stood there, mouth open. Touching her stomach she looked up at the machine, there was no way she could go home and stay there.

"What's wrong Nancy?" Donatello didn't understand what was going on. "What did I miss?" Nancy took his hand and placed it on her stomach.

"I'm pregnant Donnie," Donatello gasped taking his hand back. Then slowly he touched her stomach again. "And I want to stay here, with you all." Nancy looked at the portal. "But I wouldn't mind going letting my parents know that I'm alright," Nancy turned and looked at Michelangelo. "I'd come right back." Michelangelo nodded understanding the sacrifice Nancy was making for him. Nancy gave him a kiss and went to clean up. Standing in from of the portal, Nancy took a deep breath.

"Okay Donnie, I'm ready," She turned around, "But no one leave, I want my parents to meet you all." Everyone, including Master Splinter was there. Nancy's house came into view. She stepped through and walked up to the door. She looked back before she knocked. Everyone was still there. When she knocked her mom, answered the door. Mrs. Summers gasped when she saw it was Nancy.

"Mom, come here, I want you to meet my friends." Taking her mothers hand, Nancy walked her mom to the end of the driveway. Mrs. Summer's eyes got as wide as saucers when she saw the turtles and Master Splinter. Introducing them, Mrs. Summers could only nod and each smiled and said hi.

"I have to reopen this in five hours Nancy," Donatello said and closed it. Mrs. Summers turned to her daughter.

"What does he mean," Mrs. Summers asked. "You can stay home now right?" All Nancy could do was offer her mom a sad smile.

"Come inside mom, I have a lot to tell you." Inside Nancy relayed that the turtles rescued her from Shredder, didn't mention the whipping, and how she has enjoyed living with them these fast months.

"I can almost understand, why you want to go back," Mrs. Summers said. "I'd do the same for your father, well, step father." Nancy nodded.

"There's one more thing mom, but I want dad to be home when he you hear this, Okay?" Mrs. Summers nodded and spent three hours doing nothing but talking.

"Oh," Mrs. Summer stood up and handed Nancy the phone. "Call Mary she has been raving about how lucky you are since you left." Nancy smiled and shook her head. Here we go again. She dialed and waited.

"Hello," it was Mary.

"Mary don't scream . . ."

"NANCY!" Nancy made a face holding the phone away from her ear. Putting it back she could hear the phone banging against something. Hanging it up she handed it back to her mother.

"I think she's on her way," The doorbell rang, "Here." Mrs. Summers answered the door and was almost run over by Mary.

"Sorry Mrs. Summers," Mary yelled over her shoulder. Finding Nancy and giving her a hug Mary started to ramble her with questions. When Mary paused for a breath, Nancy took that chance to speak.

"Yes, we mentioned you to Raphael and he would love to get to know you," That was a half lie, but she'd make it up to Raphael later. Mr. Summers came home shortly after Mary arrived and Nancy retold the same thing she told her mother.

"Oh, and this may come as a shock, but I'm not staying," Nancy said.

"We know and understand dear," Mrs. Summers looked like she was going to cry.

"It's because I love Michelangelo and because," Nancy paused. Here we go, there's no turning back. "Because I'm pregnant." The silence was so loud that you could hear a pin drop. Until Mary's excited scream shattered the silence.

"With Michelangelo's child, ohmygod, ohmygod," Mary sat down. "I think I'm going to faint." Mrs. and Mr. Summers just stood there.

"Mom, Dad, please say something?" Nancy begged. Mrs. Summers fainted. After waking Mrs. Summers and spending time with everyone Nancy realized that it would be time to go back. Everyone ushered outside and waited for the portal. Right on time, it opened.

"I'll visit every now and then, okay?" Nancy waved to her parents.

"We love you take care of yourself," They yelled. Turning to the portal, Mary walked up there with Nancy. Michelangelo was there and Donatello.

"Where's Raph?" Mary questioned.

"You can come meet him them come back home," Nancy said. Excited Mary walked with Nancy towards the portal. "Here I come Mikey," Nancy held her arms out to him.

"An her I am wai. . ." The portal went all fuzzy and just before Nancy and Mary could walk through, it disappeared. Nancy stood there with her arms out stunned. Her knee's gave out and Nancy fell to the ground on her hands and knee's. Sitting up tears rolled down her eyes, she screamed.

"MICHELANGELO."

~ Ah yes, another cliffhanger. I better be careful or I'm going to get attacked by a mob :oP
