Ok, folks this is it. The last chapter to Brother's, I hope you like it. Let me know if I should do other stories..... THE TURTLES ARE NOT MINE! HAVE FUN!!!
Leo's Room...Mikey opened Leo's door and was shocked at what he saw. There lying on the bed was Leo looking like he was dead. He was pale and had a ton of bandages all over him. He looked awful. Mikey didn't understand it, Leo was with him he knew he was, he hugged him and they talked. What the shell happened.
"Leo, Leo you have to listen to me bro. You have to wake up now. You were awake before; at least I think you were. Please Leo don't do this, we need you, please come back like you did last time." Pleaded Mikey as he sat down on the floor near Leo. "Leo, we were talking we were ok, you know we're ok. Please, please wake up now bro." Mikey put his head down to cry and cried himself to sleep at Leo's side. Master Splinter walked in a few minuets later to check on both his wounded sons and was happy to see that Leonardo looked a little better; perhaps Michelangelo's presence in the room was the turning point his son needed. "Rest my sons tomorrow is another day." Said Splinter as he closed the door gently behind him to go meditate.
THE NEXT DAY...Mikey was just waking up to a great dream. He was surrounded by a whole bunch of pizzas and he was just about to eat one, when he heard a noise. He shook his head and went back to the pizza when he heard it again. "MIKEY!!" Mikey jumped out of the dream and stood up.
"What's going on, where'd the pizza go? HUH!!" said Mikey looking around confused.
"Shh, dunderhead. Let's get out of Leo's room." Said Raph. Raph and Mikey walked out of Leo's room and walked past Don who was on his way to see Leo.
"Any change Raph?" asked Donnie.
"No, dunderhead here was loud enough to wake him, with his pizza dream again, but nothing happened." Said Raph as he walked away from Donnie to go to the kitchen.
"Donnie, why isn't he waking up? I don't understand, you fixed him I talked to him." Said Mikey.
"Mikey you never talked to Leo. He was in his room the whole time and you were in the lab. It must have been a dream. As for why he isn't waking up, I don't know. His fever broke last night; the infection is down there is no reason why he is still in this coma. I really don't know and I didn't want to tell Raph this Mikey but it isn't normal. He should of come out of it by now." Said Donnie.
"Maybe he's just sleeping and we need to wake him up. You know, when Leo's it usually takes awhile to wake him. Maybe we just have to make lots of noise." Said Mikey.
"I don't think that's it Mikey, I just don't know." Said Donnie as he walked off to Leo's room. Donnie closed the door behind him and went to check Leo's vital signs. No shortness of breath, no more infection, temperature normal, heart rate slow, but nothing to worry about. "Why the shell won't you wake up Leo?" asked Donnie in frustration.
"Your brother needs time to realize what is real and what is trickery." Said a voice behind Donnie.
"Geez, Sensei you scared me. Don't sneak up on people. What do you mean what is real and what is trickery?" asked Donnie confused.
"Your brother was tricked by the Shredder he saw Michelangelo die, by the Elite Guards hands. He believes he has let everyone of us down. He is fighting with himself now. Michelangelo did indeed speak to Leonardo, in Leonardo's mind, now it is up to Leonardo to decide what is truth, and I believe with your brother's and yourself you can make Leonardo know what is real." Said Sensei.
"Sensei, how would we do that? The only way would be for Leo to wake up and see Michelangelo here with us, but he is not doing this." Said Donnie as he looked to Leo for confirmation that he was still in a coma.
"My son, remember not to long ago your stories of his courage helped him thorough rough times. This time I believe the stories must be of love and acceptance." With that said Splinter left Donatello to his thoughts.
"Geez, Leo what can I tell you to come back. Remember when we were younger and we used to hang out all the time just you and I? We used to pretend we were the only brothers and Mikey and Raph didn't exist. We had a blast ignoring them and they got so angry. Then remember that night Mikey got so mad at us he ran out of the lair, and he didn't come back for an hour. You got so worried that we went after him, you found him right away. You told Mikey how you were sorry and that you would never do that again. You said 'We are brothers and brothers stick together no matter what.' I guess I was kind of mad that now we had to include the others in our games, but you were right. I love all you guys and I don't want to lose you Leo. We need you, so please wake up." Said Donnie with tears in his eyes. Donnie cried silently next to Leo's bed. He didn't hear the door open and Mikey and Raph enter the room.
"Hey Donnie, you ok?" asked Mikey.
"Geez, you scared me. I didn't realize anyone else was here." Said Donnie as he wiped his eyes.
"Yeah, well we didn't really want to disturb you and all. How's he doing?" asked Raph as he looked over at Leo, who was still not awake.
"I don't know. He won't wake up and I really don't know why. His wounds are healed no cuts or knocks to his head. I just don't get it. Master Splinter said to give it time, but this is too much time." Said Donnie frustrated.
"Maybe we should do what Splinter says." Said Mikey a little shyly.
"I just don't like not knowing why he won't wake up. I'm afraid if he doesn't wake up soon. He won't at all." Said Donnie as he looked over to Mikey and Raph.
"He'll be fine Donnie don't talk like that. He just needs time. He needed time before and he needs it now. He got the shell kicked out of him twice in 2 months he just needs time." Said Raph annoyed that his brother was giving up on Leo so soon.
"You guys talk like he can't hear you. You have to be more careful. Remember last time he heard us, so you have to be positive. Now stop arguing and lets leave Leo to rest." Said Mikey angrily.
"No, don't." said a voice.
"LEO!!" the three brothers exclaimed.
"Hey, I sleep for a little bit and I wake up to arguing. Do I have to separate you guys again." Said a tired Leo.
"Hey, bro how you doing? You ok? Do you need anything?" asked Mikey excitedly.
"I don't know. I am just so tired." Said Leo as he began to drift again.
"Come on guys lets leave him to get some sleep. We should get Master Splinter to check on him later." Said Raph. "It's good your awake Leo." Said Raph as he backed out the door.
"Yeah, bro we missed you." Said Mikey as he left also.
"I'm glad your ok Leo. I'll check on you later." Said Donnie as he too left the room.
Leo smiled at them and turned over to sleep. He couldn't have had a better family or a better bunch of brothers.
Well that is all folks. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have writing it. I will hopefully start a new Leo story soon. Thanks for all the reviews I am so glad everyone enjoyed it and didn't make such a big deal out of the impossibilities of the details. I will write soon.
