Disclaimers: We should all get it by now. I DO NOT OWN THE F-IN' NINJA TURTLES! (Scares lawyers away) YAY! They're finally gone!
And now the moment we've all been waiting for: the epilogue to Just Like Titanic. Please excuse me if it's short, but epilogues are like that, aren't they? Enjoy!
It had almost been a year since the S.S. Nenet incident that took place almost right outside of the harbour of New Your City. A little bit had changed since after a bomb destroyed the cruise ship, planted by the rich, evil, perverted man, Matthias D. Sorel and his pirate crew. He was charged with many crimes even after he was dead along with his pirates.
Afterwards, Mari's step dad was finally put to justice after he was arrested for child abuse, and she was put in a foster home with a family that knew her parents well. She no longer had to live in an abandoned church in fear, and her parents could finally rest in peace. When she got the chance, she got to visit Raphael as he roamed the streets of New York City. She was so glad to have someone to love her. After all, he was the one who helped prove he was a criminal.
As for Casey and April, well, after the S.S. Nenet incident, they finally managed to plan their wedding on a cruise ship, after all. Casey thought April looked so gorgeous in a wedding gown. The reason the Turtles and Splinter could not fully attended was because the MCMs were beyond repair because of the bullets. Still, they got to watch the ceremony from in the shadows and were proud for their friends. The new cruise ship they had the ceremony on was also for their honeymoon, so they had a nice, relaxing vacation as well, despite April being pregnant.
Now, the Turtles, Splinter, and the girls had just arrived at Casey and April's new apartment and were waiting outside a bedroom door. Casey was able to find a job he liked to support the whole family, and April had given Tori and her mom the antique shop so they could finally settle down from travelling all over the world. At least it gave Leonardo the chance to see her more often. Casey and April had just gotten back from the hospital in the morning and now everyone outside the room was waiting to see the baby at last.
Raph sighed. "I can't believe this is really happening," he said, "I mean, our best friends finally had the baby. I wonder if we have to baby-sit it?"
"I call anything that doesn't involve diapers or vomit!" Mikey yelled out.
Everyone immediately shushed at him. "Mikey, there's a baby in there!" Don scolded. "Don't wake it up!"
Then, Casey Jones had finally opened the door of the room. "Guys," he said, "there's someone in here that we want you all to meet."
Slowly and quietly, they walked into the room to find April in a rocking chair, rocking her newborn child to calm it. The room was filled with many stuffed animals with other baby things and a white crib. They looked to see that the little baby, wrapped in a pink blanket was finally waking up.
"Everyone," April whispered, "we'd like to introduce you to our daughter, Emily Kristina Jones."
The little baby, Emily smiled as she saw the Turtles for the first time. She was so little, but she had taken a liking to them already.
"April, she's adorable!" Tori cheered.
While Tori, Kelly, and Lily began cooing the baby and tickling it, Raphael smiled at Casey. "So, you're finally gonna be a dad. I'm proud of you, man."
Casey punched him lightly as he smiled. "I really think things are going to be great from now on. All I have to worry about now is making sure I don't do anything that will screw up this marriage. I'm actually thinking of hanging up the golf bag and hockey mask for good."
Raphael was a little shocked to hear that Casey didn't want to hunt down any evildoers like the Purple Dragons anymore, but he knew raising a family was a lot more important. Casey wanted revenge because of what the Purple Dragons did to his dad in the past, but now he was certain his dad would be even more proud of him if he became a good husband and father.
Meanwhile, Michelangelo was making silly faces at Emily, who tried to copy everything he did as a little joke. As it continued, Michelangelo was getting annoyed.
"Hey," he whined, "Quit copying me!"
Emily just stuck her tongue out like she was making fun at him. She was just a newborn, but she already acting smarter than Mikey.
"Why you little…!" Mikey growled in annoyance.
At the sound of his loud voice, the little baby began to cry. Everyone gave him evil glares as he left the room, trying not to get hurt. Unfortunately, Raphael began to chase after him with the others following him. Screaming was already heard outside, as if on cue.
"I hope they don't wreck the apartment." April sighed, rocking Emily to sleep.
Casey wrapped his arm over her shoulder. "It's good that things are finally going right."
April nodded. "I'm really glad you're here with me now. And to think, all of this started because of a cruise vacation." As Emily finally went back to sleep, April began to cry softly. "She is such a beautiful baby…"
"Well, you should know. Her good looks come from you."
April giggled. "Oh, Casey."
The couple kissed each other on the lips. They began as friends at a rocky start, but they had developed feelings for each other as time passed. It was out of a passionate and true love that caused April to become pregnant, but Casey was able to set things right for asking for her hand in holy matrimony. Now they were married, and had a beautiful baby girl, and none of it would've happened if they were never caught up in the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
YAY! The story's finished! I'd like to say thanks again for everyone who reviewed. I think I'll be able to write a few more TMNT fics and maybe start on a few others like Kingdom Hearts. Well, sayonara, everybody, but I'll be back!
