What?! Chapter 2
Summary: "Shadow." Raph repeated, Mikey smiles sweetly before falling asleep, the smile still remaining on his face. The boys got Mikey home after congratulating, and saying goodbye to the new parents, April and Casey.
The next day Donnie did a few tests on Mikey and confirmed he was three weeks along, Raph and Mikey couldn't help their smiles, they honestly couldn't believe there were going to be parent. How it was even possible though was something pondering everyone's minds.
"Do you know how Mikey is able to carry?" Leo asked his genius mate.
"I don't know, I haven't got an explanation for it, it's like magic." Donnie explained, Mikey's eyes seemed to widen in shock and somewhat fear. "Mikey, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Donnie observed.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just processing everything I guess." Mikey replied, still in a bit of shock.
"It's ok Mikey, it's perfectly normal this why." Leo commented, the others nodding their heads in agreement.
"Mike, wha' about Master Splinter?" Raph asked, worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry Raph, I'll talk to him." Mikey stated with a sweet smile.
"Are you sure you don't want me there with you?" Raph looked at Mikey with gilt.
"I think this is something I need to talk to him about alone, plus if he excepts it I wish to talk to him about a few things." Mikey confirmed, Raph looked at him in a way that said he felt he should be there to protect Mikey, Mikey cups Raph's cheek. "I'll be fine." Mikey says softly before kissing Raph on the lips, which Raph happily returned. Mikey walks to the training room and knocks on the door, hearing Master Splinter call him in.
Mikey walks in and closes the door behind him, finding Master Splinter sitting on the floor meditating. "What is troubling you my son?" At the question a soft sob was heard from Mikey, Master Splinter opens his eyes and stands, facing his youngest son. "Michelangelo, what is wrong?" Master Splinter asked in concern.
"I'm pregnant." Mikey cried, Master Splinter walked over to his son and wrapped his arms around him as he shushed him gently. "I don't know what to do, Donnie's already on to me because he says it happened like magic." Mikey sobbed, Master Splinter sat them both down onto the floor and rocked slowly. "What do I do?" Mikey asked desperately.
Master Splinter wipes away Mikey's tears and looks straight into his baby blue eyes with a comforting gaze. "I think you should tell your brothers." Master splinter said honestly.
"But I'm afraid. What if they hate me? What if they never want to speak to me again? What if Raph no longer wants anything to do with me?" Mikey flapped like a chicken.
"Michelangelo, you and I have always known that one day we would need to tell your brothers of your capabilities one day, it's just that time has been rushed a little that's all." Master Splinter explained, Mikey nods his head understanding completely. "So I'm going to be a grandfather." Master Splinter smiles, making Mikey chuckle.
"Are you happy Sensei?" Mikey asked pulling away from his father.
"The question is, are you happy Michelangelo?" Master Splinter looked at Mikey with those eyes that said to tell the truth.
Mikey smiles. "Yes…but I was hoping for something else to happen before this." Mikey said truthfully, Master Splinter nods his head in understanding. "Sensei, can you tell me about parenting." Mikey asked with a blush of embarrassment, Master Splinter chuckles.
After about half an hour of so the soon to be father was getting stressed out, he was pacing the front room like there was no tomorrow. "Calm down Hothead, I'm sure everything is fine." Leo stated with a chuckle.
"He's been in there half an hour, meaning somethings gone wrong." Raph sits down as he gasps. "What if he makes us abort the baby?"
"Raph, Sensei wouldn't do that to you." Donnie places a hand on Raph's shoulders.
"Ya know, I don't normally do this unless it's just me and Mike but…I'm terrified." Raph confesses, Leo and Donnie look at him in sympathy. "I don't wanna lose this chance with Mike, it's a miracle that he's pregnant, and…I just don't want to lose it." Raph tears up, but before Leo or Donnie could say anything.
"I know why I'm going to be crying my eyes out through this, but I don't know your reason." Mikey joked, they look over to Mikey who was caressing his still flat stomach. "And I don't see any reason as to why we should lose this chance to have a child." Mikey said with a smile, they look at Mikey in shock, Raph wipes away his tears.
"I agree with Michelangelo, there I no reason that I can detect as to why you must lose your child." Master Splinter smiles. "I still cannot believe that I'm going to be a grandfather." He states before heading to the kitchen. "Leonardo, Donatello, would you give me a hand preparing dinner, your brothers need some time alone to talk." They both nod their heads before following their sensei.
"He's…he's lettin' us…keep it?" Raph breathed, Mikey nods his head with a smile. Raph smiles wildly as he rushes across the room and hug Mikey. "I love you." Raph whispered, and then heard soft sobs from his mate. "Mikey, what's wrong?" Raph asks with concern.
"Stupid hormones!" Mikey cries out, clinging onto Raph like there was no tomorrow.
"Aaaaaaawwwwwww, is ok." Raph kisses Mikey's head, shushing him to calm him, and it worked quite quickly. They take a seat on the sofa.
"Raph, I have to tell you something very important. I feel like if I don't say anything know I never will, and always regret it." Mikey stated seriously, Raph's heart starts to speed up, and not in the good way. "I just don't know how to tell you this." Raph felt his blood drain, and body freeze, dropping it temperature, and he now felt quite sick and dizzy. *Is he braking up with me?* Raph thought. "Raph…" Raph couldn't take it any longer, his mouth opened and the words left his mouth without warning.
"Will you marry me?" Raph said in a panic, both of them going into a state of shock, but Raph meant the words, he'd already got Master Splinter's blessing, and he's been planning on asking since he had gotten the permission, but the words got stuck to his tongue.
"I…" Mikey began, Raph looked at his mate with hope in his eyes. "I…can't." Mikey said softly, sadness in his eyes. Raph's world crumbled, his heart shattered. "I'm so sorry Raph." Mikey cried. "I just can't." They both wound up in tears.
