"I can't believe you actually stole a baby!" Donnie shouted. "I know we always joked about that, but I never thought it'll actually happen! What and how did you got the wrong baby, Raph?!"
Raph sighed. "I went passed a building with a bunch of kids. I saw that baby was wearing the same onsies Sango was wearing. I thought it was her, so I went in and took the baby."
Donnie blinked. "You said the building had a lot of kids, right?"
"Yeah, babies, children, and teens. Why?"
"Raph, that was probably an orphanage!"
Donnie groaned. He knew that one day that someone in his family would accidently mistaken another baby as Sango, but he always thought that it might've been Mikey. He had never thought Raph would be the one who would've end up doing this and committing a kidnapping on mistaken identity. The only concern Donnie had was how were they going to tell Leo that they lost his only child?!
Donnie took the baby, handing him to Raph. "Raph, you, Casey, and Karai take the baby back, quickly. When you guys get back, we all need to think of a plan."
Raph, Casey, and Karai nodded. Right away they did as they were told, running out of the lair. Donnie sighed and rubbed his eyes. What were they going to do now? They wasted so much time and they still couldn't find Sango. Donnie just pray that Sango was alright. If something happened to his precious niece, he wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't sure he could handle the guilt, knowing that he and all seven of them were involved. What would Leo say? What if Leo hate them? As much as Donnie knew his older brother wouldn't hate anyone unless for the right reasons, but in this situation, it was understandable.
"Do we have time to find San, D?" Mikey asked.
Donnie looked at his little brother and narrowed his eyes. "I don't know."
It didn't took long when Raph, Casey, and Karai came back. It turned out that the building was an orphanage and the reason why the baby boy was wearing pink onsies was because the workers there ran out of the blue ones, so they use the leftover pink ones instead. Luckily, the workers didn't noticed the baby was missing.
Okay, since we're all here, does anyone else have any ideas?" Donnie asked.
There was only silence. Donnie sighed. He would at least expect someone to have an idea what to do. Donnie cursed under his breath for not making Sango a tracker. It would've solved all of their problems, but he never did cause she was a baby and only stayed inside all the time. If he didn't thought so carelessly, they would've found Sango in no time. Donnie mentally made a promise to himself that if they're able to find Sango, not only he'll make sure this wouldn't happen again, but he'll make a tracking device.
Mikey raised his hand. "Tell Leo?"
"Are you crazy?!" Casey exclaimed. "Leo's going to kill us!"
"Mikey does have a point," Donnie pointed out.
"Seriously?"
Donnie nodded. "Think about. Sango's missing. We can't find her. We looked everywhere. We need to tell Leo and file a missing person's report."
"You want to rely on law enforcements?" Karai frowned.
Donnie knew they'll be questioning this particular idea, but he knew they really have no other choice. Leo would be back soon and when he does, they couldn't hide this from him. Besides, since they have Casey who is an officer after all, they might be able to get some inside information.
"Yes," Donnie explained. "Karai, you and Shinigami need to file one cause even though Leo is technically Sango's father, but we did legally put Sango in your custody so she could go to school and all. If we do that, the whole community would search for her with sniffer dogs. Casey works for the police, so it'll be easy to get inside information. They'll be able to try to find her through the day, while for the rest of us will try to find her at night."
"You've been watching a lot of true crime a lot, haven't you?" Shinigami guessed.
"It's interesting. So what do you guys think? Cause this is the only plan I could think of."
Raph raised his hand. "How are we going to tell Leo? He's going to freak!"
Raph didn't need to tell him twice. That was the one thing Donnie...well everyone was afraid of. Yes, he had seen an angry Leo, but since his eldest brother is a father and an overprotective one at that, Donnie knew that Leo wouldn't take this easy. He was sure that Leo would strangle all of them one by one. Of all the messed up things that he and everyone had been through, this was one of the things he was secretly scared of.
"I know he will, but he won't take it easy," Donnie said.
"Who won't take it easy?" a familiar voice spoke.
"AHHHH!" Everyone screamed.
They all turned and saw Leo walking over to them. He was smiling and had a box from Murikami's. Everyone was looking at each, wondering who was going to tell Leo first. As much as Donnie really hated to ruin Leo's mood, but he knew they'll have to face the consequences of their actions.
"Sorry about that," Leo apologized. "I got ice-cream from Murikami's! Where's Sango? I want her to try it."
Then there was silence. Donnie waited for someone to go first, but no one did. April and Mikey were shifting their feet, Raph was looking up at the ceiling as if it was interesting, Casey was looking at Chompy, Karai was looking at the T.V., and Shinigami was checking on her makeup. Donnie internally groaned. He didn't want to be that person to tell Leo first.
"Uh...Well..." Donnie hesitated.
"I know Sango isn't asleep," Leo pointed out. "She doesn't sleep unless I'm the one putting her to sleep."
Donnie gulped. "You go tell him, Raph!"
"What?!" Raph turned to Karai. "You go tell him, Sis."
Karai gasped and looked at Shinigami, but her wife looked at April. Then April looked at Casey and Casey turned to Mikey. As everyone stared at Mikey, the only thing Donnie's little brother could do was to pause and gulped. He fiddled with his belt and licked his lips. He stared at the rest of them, but Donnie and everyone else was waiting for an answer.
"WE LOST HER!" Mikey screamed.
"MIKEY!" Everyone hollered and Raph slapped his head.
"I'm sorry!" Mikey apologized. "I couldn't take the pressure! Take me away! Take me away!"
"YOU WHAT?!" Leo shouted.
Everyone turned to Leo. His eyes were literally in flames as everyone huddled together. Donnie could swore he could hear a wolf growling coming from his eldest brother. Leo glared at them as if he was wondering which one he should start strangling first. He opened his mouth, closed it, and opened it again as if he was trying to figured out what to say to them. With a sigh, Leo put the box on the couch and glared at them.
"What. Happened?!" Leo snarled.
"The Purple Dragons were active again," Donnie explained. "So we thought we could take Sango along."
Leo crossed his arms. "What made you think it was a good idea to bring my daughter along instead of just having one person to look after her here?"
"We thought that since there's seven of us," Donnie continued. "it'll be easy to look after her. I put her in an alleyway and hid her and we fought the Purple Dragons. After that we came back and she was gone."
"We really did looked for her, Leo," Raph spoke up. "We looked everywhere."
"Raph, even mistaken another baby as Sango and stole him," Mikey added.
"You stole a baby, Raph?!" Leo shouted.
"Anyway!" Karai said. "We tried everything to find her. We really did."
Leo shook his head and sighed heavily. "I can't believe this! I told you guys to do something simple and look what happened! All of you lost my child! Your niece! How could you guys let this happen?! How could seven people loose a single baby?!"
"Leo, calm down," April said.
"CALM? I'M COMPLETELY CALM!" Leo screamed.
Everyone gulped and took a step back, shivering. They all knew Leo wouldn't take this easily, but they never thought it would be something like this. Leo was fuming as he paced back and forth. It looked like he was trying to figured out of a plan like he always does, but it seemed that he was too worried to think of a plan. Everyone glanced at each other as they watched Leo muttering curses under his breath. Donnie wanted to try to calm Leo down somehow, but he wasn't sure how.
"Leo, Donnie has a plan." Shinigami said.
Leo scoffed. "Oh well, let's see if it's a good one."
Donnie gulped. "Well...we can have Karai and Shinigami file a missing person's report and we can have people look for her in the day and we could look for her at night?"
Leo just stared at him blankly as if it was the stupidest idea he had ever heard. Donnie wished the others could've have a better plan than the one he had, but what does Leo want them to do? Keep on looking for Sango until the sun rises?
Leo sighed. "You don't need to. Guys, come in!"
Then, the mutanimals walked into the lair with Sango in Slash's hands. Sango squealed and waved at them. With the mutanimals was a golden retriever. Donnie's and everyone's mouth dropped. He could've swore he saw a smirk on Sango's face.
"You knew?!" Raph growled. "How?"
Leo shrugged. "Oh hell yeah, I did. After we got the mutagen back, we all went to Murikami's. Then Dr. Rockwell sensed a dog, who was trying to find the parents of a baby. We all got concerned and went to the dog. The baby turned out to be Sango and it wasn't that hard to put two and two together."
"Why did you pretend you didn't know what happened, bro?!" Mikey asked.
"Just to see how you guys handled the situation," Leo answered. "Also, I was very angry when I found Sango, so I gotta let it out somehow. You guys are lucky I was at the right place at the right time or else something could've happened to Sango. I'm still mad at all of you though. I'm really disappointed."
"I guess we deserved that," April said.
"No kidding," Casey muttered.
Then Leo took Sango off of Slash's grasped. Sango giggled as Leo beamed at his daughter, giving her a kiss on the cheek. As much as Donnie wanted to be happy that he got his niece back, but he knew they're not getting out of this easily.
"So, what punishment do you think would be fit, Sango?" Leo asked. Sango babbled and Leo nodded. "Ah, yes! Randori and thirty laps around the sewers!"
"Thirty?!" Mikey exclaimed.
"Make that forty."
"Forty?!"
"Never mind, fifty."
Raph smacked Mikey's head. "Shut up, you idiot!"
Leo put Sango down and patted her head. "Now, if you guys excuse me, I need to give my daughter her bottle."
OoO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A sexy line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OoO
When Leo got to the kitchen, the only thing he could do was sigh. He was still in disbelief what just happened. Leo just hoped that everyone learned their lesson cause he didn't want the same thing happen again. He couldn't bear to see what happened if someone took Sango. The thought of Sango's biological father entered his mind. Leo pursed his lips as he put the bottle the microwave and heated it up. While he was waiting, he heard a familiar cooing behind him. Chuckling, Leo turned as he saw his tiny daughter crawling into the kitchen.
Sango slowly got into all fours and lifted herself up. Eyes widened, Leo's mouth dropped. He quickly got onto one knee and held out his hands. Leo never thought this day would come. Last month, he did tried to help Sango how to walk, but it didn't work out like he hoped.
Then Sango took a step and wobbled as she fell. Leo was about to go and catch her, but Sango stopped herself by placing two hands on the cold floor. As she pulled herself back up, she tried again. She took a small step and another and another. Sango held out her chubby hands, giggling. She kept wobbling, but it seemed like she was trying to keep herself balanced as possible.
"That's it!" Leo said. "Come to Chichiue!"
"Chi...chi..u...e," Sango spoke.
Leo blinked. "Wh-What?!"
"Chichiue."
Tears filled in Leo's eyes and he nodded, laughing. He wiped his tears, but he couldn't stop crying. Another thing he never thought he'll witnessed was his daughter's first word. As Sango got closer, she collapsed by grasping on his leg.
Sango looked up at him and smiled. "Chichiue,"
"Yes, I'm your Chichiue," Leo picked her up and kissed her forehead. Then Leo raced out of the kitchen, forgetting Sango's bottle, and called out to everyone to tell them what just happened.
Omake
If Sango could crossed her arms, she would. She was being carried by a golden retriever or at least that's what the breed was called from what she saw on T.V. As much as she hoped her uncles and aunts would find her, but considering everything that just happened, she had her doubts.
Then the dog walked faster and stopped. Sango looked up and her eyes widened. In front of them was her father and the mutanimals. Leo was holding a box, which she assumed was food.
"Sango?!" Leo gasped. "Wh-What? H-How?!"
"So, this is Sango," Rockwell said.
Leo took Sango off of the dog's grip and patted it's head. Then Leo's eyes widened as if he realized what just happened. He pursed his lips and growled as he held her in his arms. His eyes were one fire.
"THOSE GUYS ARE DEAD!" He screamed.
Sango wasn't sure if she should be surprised by her father's temper or not, but there was one thing she knew. It was the fact that her father's anger might be scarier than her Uncle Raph's.
