"No, look, hold them like this."
Mikey's tongue was cutely sticking out as he concentrated on holding the knitting needles the right way.
Since he was forbidden to do anything strenuous, aka fun, Mikey was taking drastic measures to escape boredom. It took him a good amount of begging until Raph finally agreed to show him how to knit.
"Good. And now slowly, or you'll lose another stitch." Mikey managed a few good stitches, grinning widely when he reached the end. "Very good, baby." Raph praised, kissing his cheek with a smile. "Now practice a while, and when you get ten rows without losing a stitch I'll show you how to knit a cap."
"Aw, but Raphie, I wanna make socks for the babies! They're gonna need them when it gets colder..."
"Socks are hard to make, honey... It took me ages to figure it out." He sighed at Mikey's pout. "How about you make them caps and I make matching socks, hm?"
Mikey wrinkled his beak in thought before shrugging.
"Alright, fine."
Raph smiled and grabbed the light blue wool and his spare knitting needles. He kept an eye on Mikey's progress as he started on a pair of socks. When he managed to finish the rows, Raph grabbed the lilac colored wool to help Mikey start a bonnet, instructing him while he worked on the socks.
"Do you think they will fit?" Mikey asked, pausing to wriggle his cramping hands. Raphael shrugged.
"I don't know. They should. If not we can sew them a little tighter until they grow into them."
They sat in silence for a while. Raph has managed to finish both little socks while Mikey was only halfway done with the cap.
When the smaller turtle noticed Raph was done he paused to inspect the socks, eyes filling with tears and a big smile splitting his face.
"Oh look, they're so tiny! Ky will look so cute in them!" Raph chuckled and put them aside, cupping Mikey's cheek to kiss him.
"Come on, baby. Concentrate. We don't want little Amy to have a cold head." Mikey laughed and wiped at his eyes.
"Yeah... sorry. It's just so... so real, you know? They're almost here."
Raph smiled wider and wiped the freckled cheek before pressing another kiss to it.
"Just a few more weeks." He let out a happy sigh. "Now, give me the apricot colored wool. Malachite needs some socks too."

"This is really nice..." Mikey sighed contently, leaning back on the comfy wicker chair. They bought four of them to put on the balcony, to enjoy the nice summer evenings. It was early October now, still pretty warm during the day. However, in the evenings it grew colder. So Donnie had gotten a blanket for himself and his baby brother before settling down on the chair next to him.
"It is. Though I wish Leo and Raph would hurry up with dinner." The genius burrowed in his own blanket, flipping through a magazine. Their older mates were out to get some take-out for dinner.
Mikey nodded in agreement as he watched the colorful leaves of the park, orange, red, brown, yellow... He sat up straighter when something caught his eye.
With effort he stood up to lean against the railing.
"Hey, aren't those these chicks from last year?"
Donnie blinked and a second later he was standing next to Mikey. Indeed. Raph and Leo were standing there by a park bench, bags of food in hands and talking to Sheela and Defiana.
"What the shell? First those crooks and now them? Why do they keep coming back?" Donnie grit his teeth as Defiana touched Leo's biceps. He clenched his fists when Sheela whispered something to Raph, getting closer. The emerald turtle stepped back, though.
A sniff brought Don's attention to Mikey.
"They won't leave us, would they?"
"Aw sweetheart, of course not..." Donnie wrapped his arms around him while Mikey sobbed into his plastron. He narrowed his eyes as he watched their mates being hit on by those horrible bitches.
"Come on, let's get them home."
Mikey looked up, letting Donnie wipe his tears away. The genius smiled encouragingly until Mikey had to smile back and nod. Inwardly Donnie fumed. They should've just told those whores to fuck off and come home. What was there to talk about anyways?!
They paused in front of their door so Mikey could slip into a jacket before they left the house. Sure enough Leo and Raph were still talking to the females. Donnie squeezed Mike's hand reassuringly and schooled his expression as they came closer, smiling pleasantly when he put a hand on Raph's shoulder.
"Hey." Raph's electric green eyes were wide when he turned around, but smiled at the sight of his younger mates.
"Hey babe." He said louder than necessary. Don's eyes narrowed a fraction in confusion. He was feeling smug though when Raph kissed him in front of the women. Leo was immediately at Mikey's side and had an arm on his shoulders.
Sheela and Defiana were glaring at Mikey and Donnie in disgust.
"You weren't kidding." Defiana curled her lip in distaste at the sight of Mikey's belly. Raph frowned and placed his hand on top of it protectively.
"Yeah. So thanks for the offer, but we're happy." Leo smiled at the females, squeezing Mike's shoulder before lifting the bags of take-out. "If you'll excuse us, we're going to enjoy dinner with our mates now."
"You could do so much better than that." Sheela growled. "I can't believe you're dirty fags."
Donnie was about to open his mouth, but Raph was faster.
"If all of the women here are bitches like you I'm rather glad to be a fag."
They didn't bother listening to the following insults, calmly leading their younger mates back home. Donnie couldn't stop grinning. Raph pulled him close by his shoulders, a smirk on his face.
"I'm proud of you. I bet they had some great offers for you..."
"Oh please," Leo said as they reached their house, "we have everything we need right here, with you."

"Donnie?" Said turtle looked up when Mikey approached him, looking timid.
Donnie got up from his chair and let his brother sit down on it.
"Sweetheart, you could've just called, I would've come up." He gently reprimanded, rubbing Mikey's shoulder. "You know you shouldn't walk the stairs without help."
"I know... just... I wanted to talk to you in private." Mikey fiddled with his fingers and bit his lip. Donnie blinked in confusion.
"Okay... what is it?"
"Um... well. I'm due in a few weeks. And Kion said... uh... he said it would help if you could, you know, stretch me." Donnie chuckled and nuzzled Mikey's beak.
"Yeah, Telon said that would be good. I was going to talk to you about that tomorrow, actually."
Mikey nodded and sighed, relieved that his genius brother knew what to do. He rubbed his hand over his enormous belly.
"I'm scared, Donnie. It's gonna hurt when they come out..." Donnie winced through a smile and cupped Mike's cheek.
"I know it's a little intimidating for you. But when we stretch you enough it's gonna be less painful. And I can give you some relaxants to make it easier."
"Aren't those meds bad for the babies?" Donnie pressed a kiss to Mike's belly.
"No. Well, they would if I gave you a larger dose over a few weeks, but a small dose when the contractions start is fine."
Mikey found himself smiling in relief. They were ninjas, they got used to a certain level of pain during their fights, but this was different. He couldn't let himself be knocked out by painkillers, he had to endure it. So to have that pain lessened... yeah, relief was an understatement.
"Kion said two fists would be enough." He gave a shaky laugh. "I can't really believe that's possible."
"Oh you would be surprised what people manage to fit in there. Hey, you already had two of our dicks in you."
"But that hurt in the beginning too..."
"That's the point of being stretched, baby. To go past your level of comfort. Slowly and carefully of course." Donnie grabbed Mikey's hands to pull him to his feet and began guiding him to the stairs.
"Raph and Leo leave in a few minutes to the dojo, then we can start if you want."
Mikey hesitated before nodding.
"When the eggs are out... and I'm stretched so wide... how are we ever gonna have sex again? You're not gonna feel anything anymore!" Donnie chuckled as he helped Mikey upstairs.
"Sweetheart, the first two months after birth your forbidden to have any sex at all. That's enough time for your ass to recover. And if you wait for another month you'll be as tight as a virgin again."
Mikey stopped in his tracks to stare at Donnie wide-eyed.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Don't worry. Though, when you're used to two fists we could fit all three of our dicks in you." Mikey's face flushed deeply at the thought. It was an intimidating thought to be honest, but also so very exciting.
"That would work?" Donnie smirked at the dark blush on Mikey's cheeks.
"Yeah. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have to start somewhere."
