~ I'm so glad that you like this :o) I wasn't sure how it would go. For Someone who can understand, that is still in the works, it's not over yet! And Ziptango ::Stamps foot then laughs:: Okay I'm not one to stay stern very long. Just please don't make me wait too long!
While walking Casey steers April to the park passing the singing group at the fountain and another singing about a tree.
"This is some crazy stuff, you know," Casey says sitting down on a bench and pulling April down with him.
"It's actually kind of neat," April replied looking at Casey.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" Casey asked, lifting some hair away from April's face. She smiled and shrugged at him.
A: Before I got to know you
There was not much to my life
I had my friends the turtles
I thought that it was enough.
Then you came into my life
Turning my world upside down
You've captured my heart.
I don't know how to say
Or how long I've felt this way
It just suddenly came through
What else can I do
I just want to be with you
I saw a world so plain
Villains were everywhere
I guessed that's the way it should be
Never thinking it could change
But then you came through
My world just split in two
I know you'll be there
However I will need
You'll be by my side instantly
No matter what it takes
I want you to know
I'll be with you too
Your give me new hope
Just like a doll
Can you hear my heart call
I know you'll be there
Closer I want to be
Needing you to be with me
Say you feel the same
Don't be scared away
I just want to share your name
You give me new hope
I just want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I just want to be with ---
April paused as Casey pulled a box out of his coat and snapped open the lid. Inside was a single diamond solitaire. Surprised April could only look back to Casey.
"Will you marry me?" Casey asked. April nodded suddenly speechless and held out her hand for Casey to slid the ring on.
"How did you know my size?" April asked when she found her voice.
"I borrowed one of your rings," Casey said. "Are you happy?" April nodded and hugged Casey who held her tight in his arms. April then stood up looking a little panicked.
"Are you okay?" Casey asked.
"Yeah I just remembered I have to do something," April gave Casey a quick kiss. "See you tonight?" Casey nodded and watched April run off. Shrugging it off he walked through the park.
Down in the lair, the turtles were watching TV when April came in. Not saying anything she went straight to Master Splinter's room and knocked.
"Come in." Came a call. April opened the door slowly and peeked through.
"Can I talk to you?" Master Splinter nodded and April came in closing the door behind her. Looking around suddenly nervous something catches her eye. "I see you hung the tapestry we found at the antique store together." Master Splinter smiled.
"What is on your mind April?"
"I don't know where to begin," April stopped and took a breath. "I'm pregnant." Master Splinter waited feeling that there was more.
"But I don't know if Casey is the father," April utters in a whisper. "He took me out about a month ago and introduced me to some bar buddies of his. One kept following us around and started to scare me so Casey took me home." April stopped and rubbed her hands over her face.
"Casey then left saying that there was some things that he had to do. I went to bed and was almost asleep when a figure stepped in. I automatically assumed it was Casey. He came over to my bed stopping me from turning on the light. Then we kissed and made love. When we finished he held me then sat up real fast. He motioned for me to wait then left."
"April," Master Splinter stopped her. "Calm down, slow your breathing." April realized that she was close to hyperventilating and took a few minutes to calm down. Once she felt that she had the strength she continued.
"Casey came in flowers in hand and put my favorite flower a pink carnation in my hair." April patted her head in remembrance.
"He then, told me that he loved me and was so happy that he found me. Today he asked me to marry him," April showed Master Splinter the ring. "I said yes then remembered about the pregnancy and panicked. I was going to abort the baby but this complicates everything, especially since it could be our first baby together.
"In the morning, over coffee I asked Casey why he stepped out of the room to get me flowers. He shook his head, laughed and apologize that it took him two hours to find pink carnations for me." April started to cry and Master Splinter understood what had happened.
"The first fellow was not Casey," Master Splinter said calmly.
"No, I wasn't sure who it was and thought that I would be more careful from then on," April wiped her face. "That was a month ago and then my period didn't come, I took a pregnancy test and. And. Oh, Splinter I don't know what to do." April dissolved into tears as Master Splinter rubbed her back.
"I know I should just go talk to Casey, but I'm so scared, I don't want him to leave me," April said between tears.
Unfortunately I don't have the answer, Master Splinter thought. I wish I could though, tell you what to do. Master Splinter sighed and let April cry. A few minutes later April calmed herself though her eyes were all red.
"I need to go home for a little while," April whispered getting up.
"You're welcome to stay for as long as you like," Master Splinter offered.
"I know." April gave him a week smile. "But I have to get ready for a date." Heading out she waved bye to the guys and slowly headed off towards her apartment. Listening to the pit pat of her footsteps on the wet asphalt, April didn't notice that she passed her apartment. She stopped and looked at the surroundings. Almost laughing at herself April turned and ran into someone, steel hands gripped her arms steadying her.
"Oh, sorry," April mumbled and looked up when he didn't let go. The hands on her arms looked like metal claws. The face was human like but with saggy blue skin. As April stared it grinned and picked her up off the ground. The world spun as April fainted.
~ The plot thickens, hahahaha! Sorry couldn't sleep last night, I'm running on deleriousness (Is that a word?) More to come :o)
