It was late when Leo and his brothers finally called it a night, but not as late as it usually gets on their patrols. They stood on the rooftop and watched as the police rounded up another group of Purple Dragons. This one had been trying to rob a jewelry store, and made the mistake of picking one that was in the path of the secret turtle patrol.

Mikey was calmly leaning against the parapet as a few of the more feisty ones, or stubborn depending on your point of view, were loaded up into ambulances. "That was about five minutes worth of fun...for us. Going to be a few months of recovery for them though."

Leo just grunted in agreement as his eyes looked over the city he called home.

"What's wrong with you?" Raph asked him. "You've been a bit moody all night."

"Yeah bro," Mikey chipped in "usually the grunts and growls are Raph's preferred method of communication."

Leo didn't even turn his head at the sound of the smack, or the "Ow!" that followed. "Knock it off."

"I'll knock him off." Raph muttered in reply.

Donnie stepped next to Leo's side and joined his brother as the elder turtle looked out. "So, what is bothering you Leo?"

Leo sighed slightly before he answered. "I can't say anything is really bothering me... It's just, something feels off tonight."

Donnie raised an amused ridge at Leo as he took that in. "Ah. They aren't out with us tonight and it's throwing you for a loop."

"I've gotten so used to having at least a couple of them out with us Donnie."

Mikey walked up to Leo's other side, a wide grin on his boyish face. "Dude...you got so spoiled. So used to having them out here with us that you've forgotten what a guys night out feels like. You are seriously pussywhipped."

Mikey was hand whipped when Leo's hand connected with the back of his head. "Ow!" The youngest said for the second time in under five minutes.

"Serves you right." Raph told him in a smug voice.

Leo turned from the scene below. There wasn't anything going on down there anymore since the last vehicle had just pulled away. "Let's just go back."

Mikey stopped and looked at his brother incredulously. "Back? Dude...we haven't even been out that long. We used to stay out way later than this."

Leo didn't stop his strides, that he was aiming for home. "Mikey, they are at home with sick children, your daughter included. I think we've had enough of our trip to how things used to be and need to go back and help with the way things are now."

"Besides," Donnie added in a knowing tone "his heart isn't into it tonight."

Leo just shrugged, not denying that in the least.

The way home was uneventful and they walked into a surprisingly quiet lair. The only one up was Cris who had a very sick four year old Thane sleeping in her arms on the couch.

Raph immediately went to them. "How's he feeling?"

"Better. He was able to keep some soup down tonight. They all did surprisingly." She smiled at Mikey. "And Ari was putting up her usual bathtime fight again. Caitlin had a hell of a time washing her hair. I think this stomach bug is starting to migrate elsewhere."

"The rest of them in bed?" Donnie asked her as he unslung his pack and placed it in the corner.

Cris nodded as Raph gently picked Thane up. "Yeah, they we all still tuckered out and settled down pretty quick."

"That's a first." Raph chuckled. Then silenced that chuckle when Thane opened his sleepy eyes. "Hey buddy. You feeling a bit better?"

"A little. Tummy still icky."

"It's going to be for a few more days. That was a nasty bug that bit you."

"Stupid icky bug..."

Leo raised a ridge in amusement. Stupid icky bug indeed.

He went down the long hall where they were tunneling out more rooms for the kids and stopped at the one that Ty and Lavi were temporarily sharing until Lavi's was done. He carefully opened the door and walked in as Raph passed him to take Thane to bed.

A smile found it's way onto his face when he noticed that Ty had crawled out of his bed and snuck into his sister's. Both now a pile of arms and legs tangled up in the lavender colored comforter. And the whole mass was mere inches from falling onto the floor.

Quietly he walked into the nightlight lit room and moved over to the bed and gently untangled his children before placing them in a more secure spot. Even as cautious as he was, two sets of blue/brown eyes opened to look sleepily at him.

"Hi Daddy." Lavi rubbed her eyes.

"Hey turtle dove." He brushed the hair out of her face as his daughter sat up. "I heard you are feeling a little better."

Her answer was to hold her arms out for him. "I want huggy."

"I guess you can have a huggy." Leo sat on her bed and took his daughter in his arms. He held her close to him for a few moments, noticing as he did that she didn't feel so warm to the touch anymore. Her fever seemed to finally be going down. Then he looked at Ty. "You want one too?"

"Huggys are for girls." Came the matter of fact answer.

Leo had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. Especially since he caught the tough turtle tot begging his mother for one right before they left for patrol. When Ty thought no one was looking of course.

Lavi had by that point squirmed around until she was sitting on his lap, her head resting against his plastron. Even Ty had maneuvered himself to where Leo could at least put an arm around his shoulders. It wasn't technically a hug Leo supposed, which was why it was allowed.

The quiet moment was ruined when Donnie walked in, medicine in one hand and thermometer in the other. Both kids groaned at the sight of him.

"Not that yucky stuff again..." Ty complained.

"That yucky stuff will help you get better." Donnie told the now pouting boy as he knelt down next to the bed. Then he firmly handed Ty his dose of it.

Ty looked up at Leo. "Daddy..." He whined.

"Take it." Came the answer the little boy didn't want to hear.

Outnumbered now, Ty pouted as he took the cup from his uncle, drank it and made a grossly exaggerated disgusted face complete with fake gags after he downed it. Leo could tell his brother was trying just as hard not to laugh as he was. Lavi took her dose with a bit more grace, just wrinkling her nose at the taste.

Once that was out of the way, Donnie took their temperature and looked very pleased with the results. "Fever isn't so high anymore." He smiled at his nephew. "You won't have to take that yucky medicine too much longer."

"Yay!"

Donnie got back to his feet with a smile and chuckled on his way out the door.

Leo himself scooted back on the bed until he could lean against the wall. He didn't have a choice really since his daughter had placed her head against him again. Not that he minded anyway. Leo even shifted her around until she was in a more comfortable position and his arm held her in place. Ty forgot about his earlier declaration and snuggled up against Leo's side. In moments they were fast asleep again.

He just sat there with them for awhile, quietly watching them sleep. Like he had done with their mother so many times as she slept peacefully in his arms. Here he felt what had been missing out on patrol tonight, he felt content. Even if his kids were sick, he would still rather be here than out there.

This time when he moved them back into secure sleeping positions, well away from the edge of the bed and any threat of an unwanted tumble to the floor, they didn't wake up. Not even when he placed soft kisses on their heads as he covered them back up. The large turtle then exited the room just as quietly as he slipped in.

His next stop was the shower, a long, hot, drawn out shower both to relax him and to get the night's accumulated dirt, grime and sweat off. By the time he stepped out and dried off, he was more than ready to settle down for the night.

Finally, Leo made his way to the room he had in the lair, because that's where Vicky was sleeping tonight, so she could be near the twins if they needed her. The tired ninja was hoping she was having a restful night instead of restless one. Lord knows she needed it after the last few days of constant throwing up and tummyache cries.

It wasn't until he closed the door behind him when he was abruptly told she wasn't getting it, and he was told in a way he really wasn't expecting. The strong, sharp smell of her arousal hit his nostrils even as the slight moan reached his ears. His head whipped around to her as her head pushed into the pillow, her groin lightly moving as her hands clutched the comforter that covered her. Even as he watched, with a slight chill of his own arousal running down his spine, she moaned again as her head turned on the pillow. It only took him a moment to figure out she was dreaming, and it obviously wasn't a nightmare this time.

Leo moved closer to the bed, his eyes watching her as her head leaned back, her eyes clenched shut. Another moan came from her lips and he suddenly found himself growing uncomfortably hard as she kept pushing against his visual and nasal senses. He could barely restrain himself as he stripped his shorts off before climbing into the bed next to her.

Desire was rapidly filling him now and he was forced to free himself from his slit, a churr escaping him as he did. He leaned over her, a wanting look would have been seen if she had been awake. But she wasn't. Leo had to firmly remind himself of that. She was not in control of herself and he would not force himself on her in this state, but he did watch her.

"Oh...Leo..." Came from her in a whimpering moan. "Leo..."

He was startled at first, but then smiled a little. Apparently she wasn't missing his presence too much tonight.

His head lowered to that call, taking a moment to gently rub his cheek against hers before his mouth stopped next to her ear. "I must be doing something right in there." Leo murmured quietly into that ear.

Still in the throes of her dream her head tilted a little towards him. "Can't...handle...two of you..." She whispered out.

That made his ridges shoot up. What in the heck was she doing in there? Having an orgy? And here he was, stuck on the outside and having to watch...

He laughed quietly at her predicament as he pulled his head back then rubbed his cheek on her other side, again stopping with his lips close to her ear. "What's the matter dear one? One of me isn't enough anymore?"

The answer he got that time was her groin pushing against his already hard member, and that caused his head to drop on her shoulder as another churr, a louder one, escaped him. Lord, this was torture to watch her, but at the same time very arousing. He was seriously contemplating if he should wake her up by that point.

She saved him from that dilemma however. Her eyes opened as he lifted his head up and looked at him a moment, blinking through her sleep clouded eyes. Once she realized it was the real him hovering over her and not the dream him, Vicky's face turned beet red. Clearly visible even in the dark room.

He raised a ridge at her, a small half smile forming on his lips. "Having fun in there?"

She blushed even harder and couldn't look him in the eye.

Leo leaned in and kissed her neck so she wouldn't have too...and because he couldn't resist anymore. "So...you feel like telling me what was going on? Never seen you get so worked up like that before."

"Not really..." Came her barely audible embarrassed voice.

But Vicky couldn't block out the image quick enough that came to him. She indeed had dreamt of two of him. She was straddling one who was in a sitting position, riding him, while her torso was leaned against the other who was kneeling behind her, and that one's hands were very busy on certain sensitive spots on her body. Interesting...

"Did you like it?"

Vicky blushed again and bit her lip, but she didn't deny it.

"Why the embarrassment love? It was just a dream." His hand slid down her side, pulling the comforter out of the way as it made it's way downward.

"I...don't want you to think I'm some kinky freak or something..." Her eyes closed at the feeling of his hand sliding back up her leg to pull her underwear down.

"Never would I think that..." His lips pressed gently against her neck as his fingers probed her folds, that were very slick with her moisture. She had obviously been very worked up. She still was if her eager moan was anything to go by.

Leo sat up and gently pulled her up with him. His eyes met hers and held them as his hands again wandered over her skin, this time to pull the large T-shirt she was wearing over her head. That was then soon tossed to the floor before his lips wandered to her neck again, gently grazing that soft skin while his fingertips slid along her now bare sides.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to get you worked up..." Her voice trailed off as he cupped her breast, his thumb running over her hard nipple.

"I'm not complaining, so don't be." His other hand shifted her around until she was over him, then both settled on her hips and guided her down onto his waiting erection. Vicky's head tilted back as he filled her, his large member sliding easily inside of her already eager body. She bit her bottom lip, her body giving in to the movements and rocking against him. Each thrust causing her breathing to pick up. She was quickly lost into the feeling as her body set the pace, her eyes closed as she panted for more.

Leo wasn't done yet however. He watched her intently, took it all in as she squirmed from his touch. Then with a slight smile he shared that image with her. Then went one step further and placed an image of him behind her.

"Leo...what are...you...you doing..."

He kissed her, hard, before he answered. "Making your dream come true dear one. Isn't that what your husband is supposed to do?" Then he made the mental image put it's hands on her. Her breath caught when those unseen hands cupped her breasts from behind and her body jerked against him. That violent twitch causing his own deep moan to echo out of his throat before it trailed off into a churr. "You little minx, you do like that..." Vicky didn't answer except to push harder against him.

Encouraged now by her positive response, he made those hands wander as his real ones held her in place. One still held her breast, firmly kneading it as the other slowly slipped down her body. Her whimpers intensified even more when that hand finally reached it's destination and slipped between her spread thighs, then pushed a finger against her sensitive nub.

Not even he expected the reaction that came from her. Having already been worked up, she immediately exploded into a violent climax. He groaned in his own pleasure as her muscles clamped around him, but he forced himself to hold back. This was just too delicious to let end so soon. Her body began to slow, but the hands on her hips pulled her onto him over and over again until soon enough she picked up the pace on her own again, all the while his mental version was still mercilessly rubbing against her clit. Then he pushed her even more by having the other hand insert a finger into that mental picture of her even as she rode him hard physically.

"Leo! God...I...I can't..." Her panting was quickly growing into a scream as her body tightened again. He cut her off before she could with another hard kiss, his hand now behind her head to hold her mouth to his. That scream came out anyway, muffled as she kissed him back. Her body shook against him as she came down hard on him again and again. Now even Leo was well past his endurance and released himself inside of her, his free arm pulling her body against him.

She collapsed with that pull, her body leaning against his as he turned the kiss into a more gentle one. He let the mental image fade as he finally released her lips and looked down into tired, lust glazed eyes. "Was that about how your dream went?"

"I don't know." She tiredly mumbled. "I didn't get to finish... But I liked this version better anyway."

This time when his body shook it was with his laughter. "I bet you did. Shame we never thought of trying that before, so many opportunities wasted..."

Vicky's face heated up in a blush again and he pulled her into a hug with a chuckle. "Dear one, what am I going to do with you?"

"Just love me, that's all I really want." She snuggled against him and let out a content sigh.

"Always." Leo kissed the top of her head and tightened his arms around her.

Quietly she drifted back to sleep as he sat there and held her. That feeling of contentment he felt earlier once again filling him. Sure it was nice to go out with his brothers every once in awhile, but he had to admit he did miss her out there tonight. Maybe Mikey was right, maybe he was pussywhipped.

But did Leo care that he was?

No.
