Good News, Bad News
Disclaimer: I don't own the turtles, but Charlotte (the turtles Mum) is my own character.
Also the Turtles and Splinter are human and they live in Australia. Read Prologue for more info. Thanks Please R& R.
It was a couple of day after Raphael's tenth birthday. The four boys were seated at the breakfast table, while Splinter was cooking bacon and eggs. It was Charlotte's morning off from breakfast duty. The boys were arguing over who'd get the biggest piece of bacon.
"I was up first!" Raph piped in.....
"You're always up first," Leo replied, "And you have to wake everyone else up in the process."
"I want the biggest piece of bacon. I'm the littlest and need to grow bigger." Mickey chimed.
"I'm the oldest and I'll have it." Leo told them.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had entered the kitchen. Splinter had finished piling all the food onto a plate and was ready to carry it over to the boys.
"Splinter... can I speak to you?" Charlotte whispered. She was having trouble with her words.
"Yes, my dear, what is wrong? Are you ill?" Splinter noticed his wife going pale.
"I think you should put the plate down."
"Why? It does alright, just tell me what's wrong?"
"I'm I'm pregnant".
Splinter, took time for this to digest. He dropped the plate and it shattered on the kitchen floor, bacon and eggs and china splattering everywhere.
The four boys stopped their chatter and looked over at their parents. Their mother who looked pale and worried. Their father, who had just droped a plate of food all over the floor.
"What's going on?" Leonardo inquired.
"Arhh... Leo... boys..... Your mother has some news for us." Splinter began to clean up the mess. He couldn't believe it. Charlotte pregnant..... After all these years?
Charlotte put on a brave face for her sons. She didn't want them to know of her mistake.
"Guess what boys? You're going to have a new baby brother or sister." She smiled at them.
The oldest three just stared at their mother in disbelief.
Mickey jumped up off his chair and ran to his mother.
"I'm going to be a big brother!!!!" He hugged her tightly and buried his face in her bosom.
Well ...... there you go. Please R& R. Let me know if you want me to continue with this story or not.
