Chapter 12
Over the past two days, Shauna has healed from her injuries, thanks to Donatello, and Marsha has finally come out of Leo's room. Almost immediately, Raphael was at her side, hugging her tightly. "You okay, Marsha?" he whispered.
"I-I'm okay…Raph…I thought you would hate me after what I did to you…" she whispered back.
"I couldn't hate you even if I tried…Marsha, even though you're mated to Leo now, it doesn't change my love for you…nothing can ever change that. I love you no matter what."
Marsha stared at him, a very surprised look on her face. "Raph…" her voice came out in a whisper as tears began to stream down her face.
Raphael wiped away her tears before they could fall. "Hey…don't cry, please…you've been crying a lot lately, I don't want you to get sick or something…" he kissed her.
Leo watched the whole scene in silence. God, I feel like a total fool… he thought, closing his eyes. He started back to his room when he bumped into Mike and Don who had their disguises on. "Where are you guys going?" he asked.
"Well, this Christmas was a bit of a disaster…so, Mike and I decided to re-do Christmas…we're going shopping…you wanna come, Leo?" Don asked.
"Sure…just hang on a minute…" Leo disappeared for a minute to get his disguise on and rejoined his brothers a minute later. They brushed past Raphael and Marsha and hurried out the door before they were seen.
"Raph…where's Shauna? I haven't seen her in a while…"
"Shauna went to April's for some tea and to watch a movie. She'll be back tonight, honey, don't worry," Raphael whispered, holding her closer towards him. Marsha reached up and kissed him passionately. "Man, do I miss that," he smiled down at her and kissed her back.
'If every word I said
Could make you laugh
Ooh, I'd talk forever
I asked the sky just what we had
It showed forever (together my love)
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever (together my love)
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
(Together my love)
Let the love I have for you live in your heart
And be forever (together my love)
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
If every word I said could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you'
Marsha glanced up upon noticing the sudden silence. "Where are the others?" she asked innocently.
Raph also looked around. "I guess they went out…do you wanna go to the movies or something?"
Marsha nodded, a smile on her face. "I want to see that new movie: "Christmas With The Kranks". It sounds like a pretty good movie."
Raph nodded. "All-right…let's go, then."
A/N: I know, another short chapter, but more longer chapters will be up soon…just bear with me…and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Oh, and I saw "Christmas With The Kranks"…it's hilarious! Definitely a must-see!
