Ch 16 Wedding Bells, Honeymoon and…..WTF?

The next day as promised, Leo saw the family doctor and, after having his injuries taken care of and a new wrap on his arm, was told to go home and stay in bed for the rest of the day. But when they got home, Leo went straight to the basement to get their suitcases so he could start packing for their honeymoon.

Raph watched in bewilderment as Leo came upstairs with one of their suitcases. "What the hell are you doing Leo?" He demanded.

"Packing for our honeymoon." He placed the bag by the kitchen entryway. "We leave for the farmhouse tomorrow early morning, when else are we going to have time to do this?"

"Leo, the doc says you're suppose to be resting."

"I'll rest after I'm done packing." Leo promised. He was about to go back down to the basement to get the other suitcase when Raph stopped him.

"You're going to rest now Leo." He told him. "I'll get the suitcases and we'll pack tomorrow before we leave." He blocked his way and the two faced each other down, each daring the other to defy the other one.

Leo finally sighed in defeat and turned away from Raph. "You win Raph." Leo told him. He started walking away and appeared to be going toward the kitchen to go back up stairs. Raph narrowed his eyes and watched Leo. He slowly moved away from the door and began to make his way over to the couch to continue watching his wrestling show when out of the corner of his eye he saw Leo suddenly turn quickly and run back to the basement door. Leo was just about to open it when Raph jumped over the couch and snaked his arm around Leo's middle.

"Damn stubborn turtle." Raph said as he threw Leo over his shoulder. "Nice try Leo but the doctor prescribed bed rest and I'm gonna see you follow through."

"Raphael you big bully, you put me down this instant!" Leo cried out. At that moment; Mikey and Donnie walked into the house and stared in shock at Raph holding Leo over his shoulder while Leo squirmed and punched his shell with his left hand. "Guys! Help!" Leo called out when he saw them. "Don't leave me alone with this brute."

They exchanged puzzle looks as Raph walked past them, muttering to himself with grim determination on his face, toward the kitchen, and eventually made his way up the stairs. The two turtles looked up at the ceiling as they heard heavy footsteps walk along the floor, the sound of Leo demanding to be let go and the sound of a door closing with a bang causing both turtles to flinch.

Mikey shook his head when Donnie turned to him with a raised eye ridge. "Huh, lovers, whatcha gonna do?" He shrugged and walked over to the TV and changed the channel.

Raph had Leo on the bed and his arms wrapped around him. "Stay and rest with me Leo." He told him as they snuggled together. "I've missed this."

Leo succumbed to Raph's strength and happily nuzzled his beak into Raph's neck. "Me too." He whispered. They laid like that for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening when they were awoken by Mikey calling for them to come and eat dinner.

On Friday, the two turtles awoke early and, as promised, Raph assisted Leo in getting their bags packed, which Leo was grateful for as he once again found himself leaning over the toilet vomiting before Raph had awoken. Eventually, they came downstairs and found the rest of the family enjoying breakfast. An hour later Raph and Leo packed the little trailer that was hooked to Raph's motorcycle, and he and Leo drove off toward the farmhouse while Splinter, Donnie and Mikey climbed into the SUV and, after picking up Renet, followed close behind. Upon arriving, they were immediately greeted by April, Casey, Angel, their father Arnold Jones, and O'Neil.

"We'll be expecting more guests later." April told them. "We'll be having the bachelor party in the barn around six."

They went inside and Donnie immediately made sure to let both Raph and Leo know that they were to have separate rooms. "You know you're not suppose to see each other till the wedding." He advised.

"Superstition." Raph groused.

"Tradition." Mikey giggled.

Leo gave Raph a kiss. "Just think of me and all we'll do on our honeymoon." He purred.

Splinter shook his head at the two playful turtles and went to his room for a nap. "I am going to need extra energy to survive the next two days." He muttered.

The party was a blast and everyone toasted the happy couple. As Renet and Mikey watched happily, they wrapped their arms around each other and Renet leaned her head on Mikey's arm.

"What are you thinking about Renet?" Mikey whispered.

"The day we walk down the aisle and how happy I know we'll be….just like them." She whispered.

"Not happy like them." Mikey smiled at her. "Happier." They kissed tenderly and Mikey saw Raph give him a wink.

The knock on the his door brought Leo out of his reverie in front of the mirror. He was attempting to tie his bow tie but had been having a hard time due to the splint on his arm and it brought him back to the time his mother, although very sick, had tied his tie for his high school graduation.

"Leonardo." Splinter poked his head in. "Are you ready my son?"

"I don't know." Leo moaned sounding rather dismayed as he patted his stomach. "My pants are a little tight and now I'm having a hard time time tying my bow tie Sen…father." Leo smiled shyly. "This splint on my arm is just making things difficult." Splinter smiled sympathetically at him and made his way over to assist him in finishing with his tie.

"I was quite nervous the day I married my beloved Shen, I even had to have my father tie my obi for me as my hands would not stop shaking." He told him with a chuckle. "But when I saw her walking down the path to me in her beautiful ceremonial wedding dress; nothing else seemed to matter and all fear within me fell away, and we went on to live a wonderful life together." He smiled down at Leo. "Just like I know you and Raphael will.

Leo bowed to Splinter and gave him a hug. "Thank you father." He told him.

"Yo Leo." Mikey walked into the room. "You ready bro? Everyone is waiting."

Leo patted his stomach as a feeling of nausea came over him once again. He nodded and smiled happily. "As ready as I'll ever be." He told him. He hooked his arm around Splinter's and with Mikey leading the way, waked out the house and down the grassy path to the alter. He smiled proudly as he watched Raph looking at him with a wide smile on his face. He raised an eye ridge in curiosity when he saw Raph lean toward Donnie and whisper something to him. He made a mental note to ask him about it later.

Mikey stepped to the side and turned to see Splinter escort Leo up to Raphael. Splinter took Leo's right hand gently in his and then took Raph's left hand in his other one. He then brought both their hands together and covered the two hands with both of his. He smiled warmly down at them. "With all my heart…I am proud to call you both my sons."

The two turtles smiled at each other then turned to Splinter. "Subete no watashitachi no kokoro o, watashitachi wa anata no chichi ni kansha shimasu." (With all our hearts, we thank you father). They said together and bowed respectfully to him. Splinter returned the bow and walked to his seat. Raph and Leo turned to Rev. Honeycutt who began the ceremony. "Is there anyone here who objects to the marriage of these two turtles speak now or forever hold their peace?"

"If there is they'll be answering to me." Raph growled, staring down the guest and causing everyone to laugh.

The Reverend laughed and continued. "Leonardo, before we continue with the ceremony, Raphael has requested to say a few words." He nodded to Raph who took both Leo's hands in his and stared deeply and lovingly into Leo's eyes, and drew a deep breath.

"Leo…from the moment we met, I knew there was something very special about you and I knew we were meant to be together." Raph licked his lips nervously. "You gave me a new perspective to my life; you're not just my friend but you're my best friend; you're my life, my mate and my love, and I will treasure what we have, for always and forever." Raph let out a deep shuddering breath and Leo laughed through the tears that glistened in his shining bright eyes.

The guest cheered and the ceremony continued. They exchanged rings and pledge their love for each other and kissed tenderly. "I would like to introduce to you Raphael Hamato and Leonardo Tartaruga Hamato." Reverand Honeycutt announced after they kissed. The guest cheered once again and Raph brought Leo into a hug and twirled him around and kissed him deeply once again. They then received hugs and wishes from their guest and all joined in for the reception.

"What did you whisper to Donnie when I was walking down the aisle?" Leo asked Raph as they danced their first dance.

"Just told him how excited I was that all this was finally happening." Raph grinned. After the song ended, Raph brought their lips together and kissed him very passionately.

The reception lasted long into the evening with dancing and toasting and cake. Although neither turtle held a bouquet or wore a garter, Leo had insisted on having them to throw to the crowd for traditional reasons. So while Raph threw the garter and was caught by Don, Leo threw the bouquet which was quickly snagged by Angel.

Don had very red cheeks as he placed the garter on Angel's leg, glancing nervously at Mr. Jones who watched with narrowed eyes. He got up to the bottom of the knee and quickly stopped when Angle's father took a step closer.

"This is a sign." Angel wiggled her eyebrows at him and leaned in close before he could pull away. Donnie gulped and stood up, looking at Mr. Jones rather nervously.

"You're next." Raph chuckled at him.

The reception soon ended and the guest waved and cheered as the newlyweds drove off on Raph's motorcycle for Cape Cod.

"How you feeling babe?" Raph asked as he drove along the highway, happy to feel Leo's arms wrapped around his waist in a loving embrace.

"Like I'm on cloud nine!" Leo said and he snuggled happily against Raph's back.

They arrived at the hotel late in the evening and although both were tired, the consummating of the marriage was necessary. Leo requested Raph top first. He wanted Raph to claim him and make him his. "No one else's Raph." Leo whispered as Raph rocked back and forth on top of him, looking intently into his eyes. "I belong to you and only you."

"And I belong only to you." Raph responded. They kissed deeply and he nuzzled Leo's neck and thrust deep inside. But he was tender, gentle and loving. This was different for both of them, and on this night, their love making would be like no other. They explored and took their time loving every inch of each other's bodies.

Leo topped next and Raph encouraged him to move his hands caressing every inch of his body. Leo moved his hands along Raph's face, neck and chest. Leo moved his mouth along his jaw before placing his mouth on Raph's lips. He licked his mouth prodding his tongue gently inside. Raph parted his lips and their tongues touched hesitantly. Raph finally brought his hand behind Leo's head and pressed him down against him, rolling him over so he was now on top and riding Leo's long hard cock. They looked at each other with a new understanding of who they were and going to be and their love now reached a new level between them.

They made love several times that night, taking turns and learning a new respect for each other. When they were finally sated, it was well into the morning and now they laid in each others arms, whispering promises of love as they fell into a deep sleep.

Cape Cod was absolutely beautiful during this July week. In the mornings they would wake up and enjoy a beautiful continental breakfast provided by the hotel. They would then go out and take tours and peruse the shops that lined the streets and enjoy eating in the coffee shops and small diners. They would then sit on the beach and watch the sunset over the water, sometimes having a small picnic. Then they would make their way back to the hotel and make love while relaxing in the hot tub or on the bed.

Raph moaned as Leo's tongue worked his erection. He watched as Leo's head bobbed up and down and churred as Leo bit and suckled him til he finally came in Leo's mouth. "God Leo." Raph moaned. "Being a little aggressive there...I like it." Leo made his way up Raph's body and they kissed hungrily while Leo shoved himself inside Raph's entrance, thrusting hard and fast. Raph found himself panting and moaning as Leo took him forcefully.

After several minutes, Leo rolled off Raph and fell into a deep sleep. Something else Raph realized Leo had never done. But it had been a long week for both of them so he let it go and snuggled next to him, eventually falling into a deep sleep alongside Leo.

But as the week went on, Raph could see something more was different about Leo. He seemed to tire easily and was constantly rubbing his stomach. On one morning, he woke up early to find Leo was not in bed but in the bathroom vomiting.

"Leo?" Raph knocked on the door. "You okay babe?"

"Yeah Raph." Leo told him from the other side. "I'm fine, I think I ate something that just didn't agree with me." Raph thought about what Leo said. He thought back through the week and it dawned on him that although Leo seemed to be enjoying the food, he did not seem to want to eat a lot of it.

Raph looked at Leo as he walked out of the bathroom. "Leo?" He whispered desperately. "Is everything okay?"

Leo smiled at him. It was Friday and they had two more days till they went home. Then, on Monday as he promised Donnie, he would see Dr. Rockwell for another exam. So for now he did not want to admit to Raph what might be happening.

"I'm fine Raphie." Leo insisted. "The sushi I had last night just didn't agree with me. That's all." He took his hand and brought him back to their bed. "I'm tired." He laid down and brought Raph down with him. "Hold me?" He requested timidly. Raph brought Leo into his arms and laid his cheek on his fairly warm head. He listened to Leo's breathing even out and he could tell he was now asleep. Raph nervously placed his hand on Leo's forehead and could tell it was rather feverish. Raph held him tighter as a twinge of fear began to form in the pit of Raph's stomach. 'What are you hiding Leo.' Raph thought to himself. 'What aren't you telling me?'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don looked up from his desk as his new assistant, Dr. Chaplin, walked in. "Dr. Rockwell would like to see you in his office Dr. Hamato." He told him, handing him a manila folder with some writing on it.

Donnie nodded his thanks to him and looked inside the folder. His eyes scanned the sheet inside and widen as he read. He then jumped out of his chair and quickly made his way to Rockwell's office. Not even bothering to knock, he opened the door forcefully and walked in.

"What are these?" He demanded, thrusting the folder on Rockwell's desk.

Rockwell looked up at him and pointed to a seat on the other side of his desk. "You read the findings?"

"Yes I read the findings." He told him. "Are these some kind of sick joke?"

"Donatello." Rockwell looked at him sternly. "When is Leonardo due back." He pointed to the folder. "He needs to know about this immediately."

"He and Raph aren't due back til Sunday." Rockwell nodded. "Are you sure about this information Sir?" Donnie questioned. "Maybe you or someone mixed up the results or…."

"No Donatello." Rockwell said sounding a little miffed that his junior researcher was questioning him. "I was a little surprised myself so I checked and rechecked the findings. That information is correct."

Donnie sat back in the chair suddenly feeling very nauseated. "Is there anything we can do without…"

"No Donatello." Rockwell said sternly. "I've looked into everything and there is no way around it." He stood and handed Donnie a glass of water. "You are, of course, welcome to check and see if you can come up with something different but I believe my findings are accurate and very thorough."

Donnie sipped the water very slowly, his eyes seemed to be in a trance. "I can't believe this is happening to him." He whispered. "Leo's gonna faint."
