Mother Turtle

Part 4

Disclaimer: Why I repeat my self – I do not know. I do not own them!Warning: There is a slightly rude bit in this chapter; this is probably why it is rated T.

"First one to the front door gets the shower first!" Mikey cried, as he and Raph ran ahead of their older brothers. Mikey jumped into the lift just as it closed. Raph let out a growl of anger, but being athletic, he went to run up the fire escape. He laughed at him self, as he ran up the stairs.

"Wonder if Splinter's back with his girlfriend yet?" Donnie asked his brother.

"We'll soon know. I hope Mikey or Raph don't barge in on her if she's in the bathroom."

Donnie laughed, "Now that would be embarrassing!"

Mikey got out of the elevator, just as Raph opened the door from inside the fire escape. They bolted towards the door; they pushed and shoved each other as they fought to get their key in. Just then, the door opened.

Raph shoved Mikey onto the floor outside the doorway, as he raced to the bathroom, Mikey right behind him, though he got hold of the bathroom door first.

"Suck eggs, Monkey!"

"Raphael, Michealangelo!"

Both brothers turned round to face their father.

"Yeap."

Their father gave them another warning look; they knew he did not like them using the word "yeap".

"You do not barge in and nearly knock Masumi over!"

"It's alright, dear, they didn't mean any harm." It was then Mikey and Raph noticed the presence of their new houseguest.

"My love, I am sorry for the immaturity of my sons. They know better than to behave like this inside the house! You will both apologise right now!" Splinter was all heated up in anger. Leo and Donnie casually walked in the door; they froze to watch the events before them.

Mikey and Raph looked at each other, "We're sorry, didn't know you were at the door," Raph said on their behalf.

"Yeah we just wanted to get the shower first," Mikey replied.

"Take your shoes off and you can get the carpet cleaner out and clean up that mess! Your brothers will take the shower first," Splinter motioned to his oldest sons.

"But it'll be cold by then!" Mikey piped up.

"I don't care!" Splinter replied, "Clean up the mud off this floor, go!"

An hour had passed, Mikey and Raph had cleaned the mud off the carpet and all four boys were clean. Well, clean by a teenage boy's standard at least.Leo and Donnie were busy studying, while Mikey sat on the couch watching TV. Raph played with his hand held game on the same couch.

Masumi walked passed the two boys on the couch. She was intrigued at how much Mikey was starting to look like his father. He had the same brown-blonde hair and though she had not seen them yet, blue eyes. Raphael on the other hand, was the son that looked like the odd one out of the brown-blonde haired family. He had jet-black curly hair and from what she gathered, dark eyes. She had seen a photo of Splinter's previous wife; Raphael must take after his mother in looks. All four sons were well toned, just like their father, for they all were into sports. Even Leo and Donnie, who were both gifted in their own way – Leo was the musician and had earned a scholarship to join the states' youth orchestra. She had already known about Donatello being gifted when she first meet Splinter and has since learnt more about each son.

Splinter was a dotting single father, who spent a lot of time with his teenage sons; he was a martial arts expert and had been a personal trainer since his wife died. It had been an occupation where he could select his hours to work around his sons' schooling. All four of his sons had obtained black belts in the arts that he taught, though from what Splinter had told her, only Leonardo and Raphael were the most interested in continuing the interest to the next generation.

He had told her all about how Mikey, had won a prize to paint a local traffic signal box, which was apparently not far from their home. She remembered Splinter pointing it out and smiling while he told her all about his youngest son.

The whole time she had been standing there, neither of the twins looked at her.

She coughed, to see if she could get their attention, she so wanted to get to know Splinter's sons.

Mikey was the only one to turn around, "You got a sore throat? I got some lollies you can suck on if you like. Usually I charge for them, but since you're our guest, you can have one for free."

"No I'm right thank you. You're Mikey, aren't you?"

"Unfortunately yes, he is," Raph replied on behalf of his brother.

"You two must be close, being twins. Do you always spend time together?"

"I didn't ask him to sit here, he just did," Raph replied.

"Hey you know this is the only TV we got! If you don't want to be near me, go somewhere else!"

"I'm older than you; I'll sit where ever I want. Now shove off," Raph pushed to the other end of the couch.

"Well, I'm taller than you! Just so you know Masumi, I'm taller than him," Mikey informed her.

Raph replied, kicking his brother again, "Just so you know, Mikey's the only one in our family without a weaner."

Author Note: I think I have kept FF Demon-angel and Lexy a little happy - I have mentioned some looks - and more to come. Keep reading.
