A.N.: I'm ba-ack! Lol. Glad those of you who reviewed the first chapter, like this story. Always wanted to do a fic where the turtles were small. Closest I've come to that, is making BSB members our fave green mutants (and fave mutant rat). Lol. Anyway, here's the next bit. And just so y'all know, I think I'm gonna do a lil' chapter for each of yah and your fave turtle - I'll probably be stuck in there lots too, but it'll mainly focus around one of yah (well, I'll do my best-lol). Enjoy! P.S. Dawnatella - thanx 4 the kind words!

Leonardo was heading back towards the den after going to the bathroom, when he heard what sounded like crying coming from one of the Nurseries. He quietly entered the one the crying seemed to be coming from, and was surprised to find TMNTPunker sitting up in the bed she shared with Arista. TMNTPunker wasn't normally one to wake up crying during the night, so he wondered what had happened to make her do so now.

He walked over to the crib and smiled softly at her. "Hey Punker. Whatcha doing up?"

TMNTPunker reached up for him, as she'd a nightmare that involved him and was now scared she was going to lose him.

Leonardo sighed as he picked his little sister up. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? You should be sleeping."

TMNTPunker didn't respond as she snuggled into him, seeking his warmth and comfort. She sighed contently as he carried her out into the den, so that they wouldn't wake the other girls in that particular Nursery up.

Raphael was the first to notice that his brother had one of the girls with him. He was quick to point out that fact too.

"Hey! Why do you have a stinking baby with you? We're not allowed bringing 'em out here after they been put to bed!" He stated matter-of-factly.

"She was crying Raph," Leonardo answered. "If I'd left her there she would have woke everyone else up too."

"Pff. Whatever Leo," Raphael snorted, then went back to his NES game he was playing with Michaelangelo.

Donatello looked over from his spot on the couch, where he was sitting and watching his brother's play.

"Why was she crying?" He asked.

"I dunno," Leonardo replied. "But she was quick to take hold of me."

Donatello nodded and made from for his brother and sister on the couch. He made sure to smile at TMNTPunker too, so hopefully she'd feel more relaxed.

The three of them sat there watching their other two brothers play NES. Michaelangelo and Raphael always played together, as Michaelangelo was the only one who could get away with making fun of Raphael while playing. Donatello and Leonardo rather play together anyway, as this way they could take their time and not have to worry about their opponent trying to cheat. Besides, the other two couldn't sit long enough to play another game, unless it was against each other again.

Leonardo glanced down at TMNTPunker awhile later to see if she had fallen back asleep yet. But to his dismay, she was still up and quietly sucking on her thumb.

"Punker, why won't you go to sleep?" He whined slightly. "I wanna play before I gotta go to bed."

"I'll take her if you want," Donatello offered. "I don't mind."

"Thanks Donnie," Leonardo said relieved. He tried to pass her over, but couldn't, as she'd suddenly put a death grip on him. "Ack! I'm stuck!"

Raphael snickered. "Told yah you should have left her there."

"Shut-up Raph!" Leonardo snapped. "Not my fault I actually care 'bout 'em, unlike you."

Raphael shrugged, and pretended that comment didn't bother him, when it actually did. He did love his little sisters, though he'd never let his brothers know. Hell. He didn't even like that fact that Master Splinter knew he loved the girls.

Leonardo sighed heavily. "Fine. You can still sit with me," he told his sister, who immediately loosened her grip on him some.

Donatello shared a look with Leonardo, letting his older brother know he sympathized with him, though he didn't have one of the girls clinging to him at the moment.

Eventually, after being stuck on the couch all night, it was time for Leonardo and his brothers to go to bed. None of them liked having to go to bed, but then again, name a child that does. Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo all quickly got ready for bed, then trotted off to the room they shared to wait for Master Splinter to come and tuck them in.

Leonardo meanwhile was stuck trying to get ready for bed, wit TMNTPunker in his arms. She refused to let him put her down, even for a split millisecond, much to his annoyment. Finally he was done brushing his teeth and washing his face. He carried TMNTPunker to the boys' room, knowing if she wouldn't let him put her down in the bathroom, then there was NO way she was going to let him leave her in the Nursery.

He crawled into bed, and was glad that Master Splinter, for once, wasn't asking questions. It was as though their father knew that his sister needed him desperately for some unknown reason. He made sure TMNTPunker was situated between him and the wall, then wrapped his arms around her and went to sleep.

TMNTPunker cuddled even closer to her big brother, afraid if she didn't he'd somehow disappear on her. She smiled to herself when she saw him smile slightly in his sleep after she'd cuddled closer to him. She gave a small yawn, then rested her head on his chest somehow, and finally fell into a peaceful slumber.

Master Splinter chuckled softly as he watched silently from the doorway to the boys' room. He knew something must have scared TMNTPunker to make her cling to her brother the way she was, and was glad that Leonardo, though young, had enough patience to put up with her. He knew had it been Raphael or Michaelangelo, they would've become antsy after awhile, wanting to play and not baby-sit. He also knew he wouldn't have to worry about Donatello either, as he was quiet and patient, maybe even more patient than Leonardo.
