Chapter 3
"What da Shell was dat all about?" Said Raph, who was still a little ticked off from the hard shoulder bump he received from Mikey, whilst secretly feeling concerned at the same time after seeing him with an upsetting look on his face.
"I don't know, Raph, but something must have happened to make him upset and run away. Let's go ask Donnie first and then we'll go after Mikey before patrol..." Leo replied before setting off towards the lab, with Raph following him close behind.
Before he could move another step, Raph felt something brush against his toes and looked down to find the test that Mikey dropped half a minute ago.
'What's dis doin' here?' He thought as he picked it up to look at it. Then, his eyes widened in shock and gasped after seeing the positive mark on the screen.
"Leo! Look at dis!" Raph handed Leo the test and he too stared at it in surprise and shock as soon as he saw the result.
"Don't tell me…is Mikey…?" Leo said in a stutter to Raph.
"Da real question is; does Donnie know about dis?" Raph questioned him.
After a moment of thinking this over, they silently nodded to each other, both agreeing that they needed to talk to Donnie about their discovery.
With his mate walking next to him, Leo headed towards the lab to talk to Donnie about Mikey's current condition, whilst at the same time trying to process what he had just found out.
'Wow…Me and Raph are going to be uncles ourselves in 9 months' time, and Kane is going to be a big cousin too! He's going to love being-'
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Raph stopped him and pointed towards their younger brother Donnie, who was sitting in his chair and looking in deep concentration at the computer whilst searching for more of Splinter's data bits as if whatever happened between him and Mikey had never happened or fazed him at all.
"Donnie…" Leo called out to him in a concerned tone due to feeling worried for both him and Mikey.
The brainy turtle let out a slightly annoyed sigh, in the same way after Mikey called for him earlier before, and turned to face Leo as he spoke.
"What is it? I'm busy..."
Leo looked at Raph and, after a nod from both sides, Raph passed the pregnancy test to his mate.
"We saw Mikey running out of the lair crying his eyes out and he seemed to have dropped this after bumping into Raph on the way out..." Leo explained as he showed the test to Donnie.
Donnie was confused at first, but when he looked at the object in Leo's hand more closely and processed what his oldest brother just told him, his eyes began to widen and it was as if time froze as he slowly begun to realise what it was that Mikey wanted to talk to him about.
"Don, are you ok?" Leo asked Donnie when he wasn't saying a single word and was just staring at the positive result on the test.
"This test says it's-…(Gasp)…this explains Mikey's vomiting issue and why he wanted to talk to me earlier..." Donnie gasped as he looked at the test again to double-check that he was reading it correctly.
"Oh, Shell...he's pregnant…"
