A/N:Wow! I got a big response out of that last chapter! I guess that y'all really wanted to see that baby. It was 28 chapters in the making! I have several more surprises in store for you, I hope that you like all of them. Even though I know that one of them will probably spell my death. Oh well...Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 29

Aw, Hell!

(Grins) Yeah. it was great finally being able to see her, ya know? Well...not like I'm going soft or nuthin. Of course not. What gives you that idea? Hmpf. Dummy. But...well...look at her! Have you ever seen a more perfect thing of pure perfection! I mean that in the toughest, meanest possible way, of course. I mean, it's not like it was fun or nuthin. LEO delivered her for friggin christ's sake! Of all people! It had to be the fearless leader! Forget all that I said before, THIS is friggin turtle luck true to form! I'll kill him! My daughter has enough uncles, she can survive with one less! Hell, I'm sure that I can survive with one less brother! No one will ever find the body, I swear it! The only way hecan survive the night is if he swears on his honor and the honor of Sensei that he will mention this to NO ONE! I mean it! Why the hell couldn't it have been Donny! I mean, at least he will see it, uh, scientifically and not 'eew! I gotta do what!' Then again, there would be a slim to none chance that I'd get him to shut up about it. Damn, why'd Vivid have to have a friggin broken arm! I mean, it's not like she hasn't done...(stops dead as fanfic police rush into room) Uh. Yeah. Rated T. I get it. No sex stuff. Uh huh. Right...

Well, here's the friggin story already.


Vivid pulled a cloth out of her belt and gently took my daughter from me to clean her off. There was a lot of goopy stuff on her. Did that all come from me? It looked like blood and cottage cheese. Her cute little face scrunched up and slowly turned purple as she balled up her little fists and held her breath. Vivid gently blew in her face. Immediately she breathed in...and screamed out what was in her lungs. At each sucking breath she screamed bloodymurder, obviously ticked off from this strange lady touching her! With a smile Vivid finished it up and wrapped her tightly in a clean cloth. One good thing about elential's outfits, they have way too much fabric.

She calmed down slightly now that she was swaddled, though she still wore a 'touch me and I'll scream' look on her face. She stuffed her fist in her mough and sucked noisily.

The strange thing was was that I was still having contractions. I looked at Vivid questioningly. Baby's gone, no more contractions, right?

Vivid smiled at me. "Don't worry, Raph. You just have to deliver the placenta now."

I had no clue what the hell a placenta was but the sooner that it got out the sooner that I was back to normal...sounds good to me! Using the same kind of constipated movements, I pushed. Leo turned a different shade of green at the explanation and slowly settled himself down. Maybe he knows what a placenta is. Who the hell cares, as long as this is over with soon!

For a moment, during the birth and such, we seemed to have completely forgotten what was going on around us. Now that the worst was over, I somehow managed to look around. Mikey was stumbling slowly from the floor by the wall, holding his head tenderly. Heartfelt seemed like she had gotten some control over Donny, although it appeared that she had to push Honor out of his mind by replacing it with her own. But he was looking at her in slight disbelief as he slowly flexed his joints, happy to be able to do that on his own accord finally. I think that I might be forgetting someone...

A scream pierced the air. Vivid's head shot in the direction. Honor had just narrowly dodged an attack from Aumuke. He had charged her like a pro football player and she somehow deflected herself aside by pushing against him. It looked like she was fueled by anger, because physically she was definetly worse for wear. The bleeding in her side and the other wound could have stopped, I don't know I can't tell because her clothing was already soaked deep red in blood. One of her arms was covered in blood and was flopping uselessly at her side. Having the use of only one arm was severly inhibiting her use of her powers. Score one for Amuke! Her face, which still will never again win any beauty contest due to the beauty mark that I bestowed on her cheek, glared at us through hate filled eyes.

"THAT'S MY BABY!"

Vivid and I looked at each other for a moment. This was too good!

Vivid snorted at her. "Fat chance, b!t#h! It's a girl, you need a boy so you're screwed! Live with it!"

Leo cocked his head at Vivid, now slightly amused by the screaming woman. "Wouldn't they be able to tell the gender in utero?"

Vivid shook her head. "We've had nothing but girls for centuries, why would we need to develop a way to sex them?" She grinned fiendishly at Honor as she bubbled in rage. Quite literally. Amuke had paused in his attack to glance at her curiously. I could see why. Honor took a step towards us. One of her feet dragged on the floor and she was obviously weak; probably from all that blood loss that she suffered. Her foot just didn't look right, I'd bet anything that this one ton father-in-law had managed to somehow step on it!

"YOU'RE LYING!"

At this I managed a few guffaws of laughter at her temper tantrum in between contractions. I love seeing her ticked off like this. Honor stared at me in disbelief. Maybe my laughter was too genuine, or maybe it was the moment that I chose to voice it, but I could tell that she believed me; no matter how much she didn't want to. Amuke moved up and smacked her back. She toppled to the floor. Using his heavy hand, he just held her down as easily as he would a child.

It was at that moment that we felt the building tremble. Thin cascades of dust filtered from the ceiling. Everyone but Honor nervously looked up. Don's shell cell rang. Still feeling dizzy from the mind control, Don managed to grab the thing and bring it to his ear without dropping it. "Hello?"

"Oh, hey! It's you! Well, just letting you know that the plan is in effect. The only problem is that it's working just a little bit too effectively!" A baby could be heard crying on the speaker. The voice on the other end quickly calmed it.

Heartfelt snatched the device from Don's hand; his mind still wasn't working the best. "What do you mean, Kartal? How can it be too effective?"

I looked questioningly at Vivid. Karta putting a plan together? What's this about? Without looking away from the direction of the conversation Vivid quickly whispered an explanation. "Kartal andBlush are basically riling up the community. Honor is at a weak point right now and has no one defending her. She is very much hated in the public and of course the other blue bloods want to step into power so they'll let the masses storm in and tear her apart. It was a plan so that we had a backup and so Honor wouldn't get back into power."

It was quick and brief, I didn't quite get all of it but I understood enough.

"Well," Kartal's voice continued on the speaker. "I think that the public is trying to tear down the entire palace, and there's enough of them with enough stuff that I think that they're actually going to do it!" As if to prove his point, the building shuddered again. "Unfortunately our other skif was destroyed..."

"What do you mean destroyed!" Heartfelt asked.

"Give me a break! They're crazy out here! But the skif that we were able to salvage was usable because it was small enough to dodge the crowd."

"What are you getting at?"

"Not everyone can fit in here, and there's been talk that The One is in there, so now the blue bloods are joining in the fray! Raph's being hunted by half the population, and they know exactly where he is!" The room was silent except for Honor's chortling laughter. We ignored her, waiting to hear what Kartal would say next. "I got that space skif, the one that the turtles used that's remote control? Well, I contacted it with the remote. It's coming to pick you up. I don't know when it will get there..." static clogged the line for a moment and the speaker was filled with angry screams. "We gotta go!"

"Wait! Kartal, what's going o-"

"Ah! Sorry! We're comin-" The line went dead. For another moment everything was silent once more. Then the building shook hard enough for a few pieces of plaster to come falling to the ground. Mikey shrieked as he staggered to his feet and narrowly missed getting squashed. Quickly Heartfelt and Don came to his aid.

"How's that placenta coming, Leo?"

Sweat beading his forehead once more, he waited while I gave another monumental push. Can't believe that I've been pushing throughout this entire conversation! I was still cursing Leo from Hell to high Heaven. I think that he was learning to block it out. Good for him, little punk! I was feeling that intense pressure again at the base of my tail. I didn't know a placenta felt like this! It's pretty much like what I just went through!

"Uh, Vivid?"

"Yes, Leo?"

"This doesn't look like a placenta. Um, it looks like..."

"Leo, do you even know what a placenta looks like?"

"No! You don't understand! It looks like-"

Their conversation was interrupted by a reptilian roar of pain. We only had time to see an unsuspecting Amuke fly through the air before she struck Leo. With a wave of wind so harsh it almost seemed solid, it hit Leo hard on the side, knocking him away and skittering across the floor helplessly.

Before I realized what was happening, Honor was there, in Leo's place. With her one good hand she reached in and tugged at exactly what Leo was trying to get through to Vivid. Immediately a squalling could be heard as she gave another tug just as I gave an involuntary push.

She staggered away, slipping on birth fluids and blood, clutching a second squealing baby in her hand. Despite the wound on her face her cheeks were twisted in a cruel smile. Everyone was stunned. Her other arm still useless, she had the baby firmly by one ankle and swiftly hobbled back, glaring at everyone with open glee.

I looked at her in pure disbelief. Another one! Amuke, caught off guard once, wasn't about to have it happen again. Getting up from the place he'd fallen, he charged. And stopped short.

Honor held the screaming infant aloft, barely holding it with two fingers, purposely waving it precariously. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, horn head! Unless you want this poor innocent baby to kiss the floor!"

I still stared at her. She swung her gaze to me and laughed. "Yes, turtle! I knew you had twins! We may not be able to sex our babies but we can sure as hell tell how many! All I had to do was bide my time. I knew that the second one was coming, it gave me time to build my strength for that attack!"

Swinging my baby carelessly she carried it in the crook of her arm so she could look at the genitals. "And a boy at that! Wow! Now aren't I lucky! Now if you will just step away from Raph, I can get this bonding ceremony underway and he can be mine!"

Vivid passed my daughter to me and approached the crazed blue blood nervously. "Now Honor, what can you possibly get out of this? Didn't you hear? Your 'people' are storming the castle as we speak!"

She snorted. "Don't you think I heard that! Think of it! I can fend of five times that easily if I get the power from this little boy here!"

"We won't let you. You'll die."

"As will you! Yet I'll kill this baby boy right here in front of you if you don't do what I order you to now! Step away from Raphael!"

Slowly they did as they were told. I looked around at them. For a moment I struggled to get up but my legs wouldn't yet do what I told them to do. Plus I'm not sure what Honor did when she reached in there, but I know she ripped something. Hurt like hell! Everyone kept their gazes low, glaring at Honor as she slowly approached with her limp and my son. They wanted to do something, but they didn't want to see the baby die right before their eyes either. The building shook but no one noticed, hell I didn't even notice. I had to think of something...

I guffawed some laughter, shaking my head at Honor. She paused for a moment, an annoyed expression on her face. Yet she was confused. Good. I looked at her, cocking a grin and hoped that it looked real. "I don't know what kind of crap you're trying to pull, Honor. You know as well as I do that that kid's a girl."

Her face blanked as she stared at me. "What? What do you mean it's a girl? It has a penis!" Already I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. The others were silently moving. The building quivered again and we could hear the rumble of a segment being destroyed but once again we ignored it.

I shook my head. "Nope. You're making the same mistake that I'm sure many mammals would." she cocked her head, waiting for me to go on. I grinned. "Turtles have tails, moron!"

Her face flushed with anger, yet she did take a second look at the screaming infant in her arm. Where was the penis? Of course, I could tell from here that the baby was a boy, but the more confused she got, the more the others could act. I saw Vivid close up some distance behind her.

Giving an exasperated sigh (damn I hope that sounds real) I decided to take a risk. Honor was too much on her guard right now. I had to put her in a vulnerable position. "Hey, just look at me why dontcha? Do you see mine?"

Curiosity won over and I forced myself not to move as she slowly approached an peered over. Now was their chance! Apparently they saw it as well. Vivid closed the distance with swiftness.

The point of a sai suddenly appeared at Honor's chest. She was shocked, open mouth agape, not making a sound. The infant slipped from her grasp, but Leo was already there to catch it. I stared at Vivid in disbelief. Somehow I wasn't expecting this. When did she get my sai?

Blood visibly pooled even under her already blood soaked garments and she staggered back. Vivid, already being weak, was forced to stagger back with her. Heartfelt and Amuke immediately rushed to her aid. Honor looked at me one last time and I saw hatred spark in those eyes. Then suddenly the life left them as her ruptured heart finally gave up it's battle with death. She slumped her weight in Vivid's arms.

It was at that time that the outer wall was blasted through and a medium sized skif came over. No, it wasn't a skif. It was an old Triceraton battle cruiser! So that's how they got here! Don immediately rushed up to it, and looked it over. Giving the thumbs up he came over and helped Mikey, who just appeared, to get me up. Leo was stuck holding both babies. They practically hauled me over to the door and dragged me inside. Sticking me in a corner and strapping me to a seat, they handed me my children and rushed over to attend to the machine since it was threatening to crash through the other wall.

This was the first chance that I had to look at my son. He looked a lot like his sister, only not as much hair. His body build was a little bit more like mine, and although his shell appeared thicker than his sister's it would never be like mine. He sucked on his bottom lip and looked up at me with large brown eyes. His sister was screaming and eventually it got on his nerves and he started screaming as well. I smiled, remembering my baby girl screaming in Vivid's arms...

Vivid!

I looked up quickly. All I saw was Don and Mikey sitting at the controls, getting the machine fired up. Leo was leaning out of the door, yelling at the others to get in. The place was chaos. Apparently the room had already suffered enough without something crashing through the wall. It was just too much. Chunks bigger than AMuke were falling from the ceiling. Vivid and her family huddled together with Amuke using his massive bulk to shelter them as much as he could. Every time they tried to take a step forward, there seemed to be a peice of ceiling that had other ideas.

Vivid somehow spied me and screamed my name above the carnage, standing over Honor's dead body and waving my bloodied sai above her head. It was a sexy sight.

Then the worst thing happened.

The entire room started to collapse.

I think I speak for everyone when I say 'AW SHIT!'
