Raph and Mikey laughed as Leo tried to clean his shell. "Guys just help please." Leo begged.
"No way bro this is too funny." Raph laughed.
"It's just baby food." Leo sighed.
"Yeah but it's all over your shell." Mikey giggled.
"How did Donnie even manage to get food on your shell?" Raph asked.
"I don't know!" Leo snapped. "He just did."
"Ok, ok. Don't start to lecture." Raph snatched the cloth from Leo and began to wipe the baby food off Leo's shell.
"Is everything alright my sons?" Splinter asked from the hall.
"Yes Sensei. Eclips and Donnie are asleep." Leo said.
"Good. You should get some sleep as well my sons."
"Ay Sensei."
"So are we still going to watch them tonight?" Mikey asked.
"Raph and I have decided that we will and you can be in charge of their food." Leo said as they walked back down the hall.
"Ok well night." Mikey said as he walked to his room.
"Night Mikey." Leo smiled.
"Night bro. So who's taking first watch?" Raph yawned.
"I will, I'll just sleep in Eclips's bed tonight. You can tomorrow." Leo said
"Yeah sounds good." Raph said as he walked into his room.
"Night." Leo said as Raph closed the door. Leo quietly walked down to Eclips's room and sat on the bed. He smiled as he looked over Donnie and Eclips. "Don't steal the entire blanket Don." Leo said quietly as he pulled the blanket over Eclips, so both his babies siblings were warm. He smiled and laid down.
Leo's eyes snapped open as Eclips wailed. "Shh." He picked her up and cradled her in his arms. "What's wrong?" He slipped out of the room not waking Donnie and walked down to the living room. "Are you hungry?"
Eclips just continued to wail as Leo grabbed a bottle and waited for it to heat up. "Shh, please." Leo rocked Eclips trying desperately to make her stop crying. "Why do you have to cry so much?" Leo said as he took the bottle from the microwave. "Here drink this it wi-
"Leonardo." Splinter caught Leo's attention. "Do not give her that bottle without checking the temperature first." Splinter said as he took the bottle from his son. "Like this. Simply drip so of the milk onto your wrist." Splinter said as he did. "Here you try." Splinter gave Leo the bottle again.
Leo nodded and held Eclips in one arm as he tested the temperature. "Is not burning but I think it's too hot." Leo said and looked at Splinter.
"Yes it is, take the lid off for a bit, let it cool." Splinter said as he lifted Eclips out of Leo's arm. "Why are you sad my darling." Splinter asked. Leo giggled slightly as he set the bottle on the table. "What is funny Leonardo?" Splinter asked.
"Nothing, it's just weird you always say 'My sons or My daughter' I've never heard you call us anything else." Leo explained.
"Yes well when you were younger I always called you something different." Splinter smiled as Eclips began to suck her thumb.
"Y-you did?" Leo stuttered. "What was mine?"
Splinter chuckled. "They were all special and based off the names you all called each other. Yours was always Big bro."
"You called me big bro?" Leo asked.
Splinter nodded. "I had an argument with you when you were four about your name. You insisted it was Big bro and not Leonardo." Both Splinter and Leo burst out laughing.
"I really did that?" Leo asked.
"Yes, but that's not the worst of it." Splinter said as he tested the temperature of the bottle again. "Here its ready." Splinter handed Eclips to Leo then the bottle.
"Stop sucking your thumb." Leo grabbed Eclips's hand softly and pulled it back. He lowered the bottle to her lips and smiled as Eclips happily accepted the bottle. "Can you tell me the others names?"
Splinter smiled. "No I do not want these nicknames to come back."
"Aw why."
"Believe me, it's for the best." Splinter smiled and begun to walk away. "Good night my son."
"Night Sensei." Leo smiled and sat down. He pulled the empty bottle away from Eclips.
"Mmm!" Eclips reached out for the bottle.
"No more Eclips you've had enough." Leo said as he rinsed the bottle. "Come on time to go back to bed." Leo kissed her forehead as he walked back down the hall. Eclips giggled and grabbed Leo's finger and began to suck it. "Hey." Leo laughed as he opened the door. "Shell." Leo frowned when he saw Donnie trying to climb out of the pen. "Donnie why are you awake now?" Leo asked as he put Eclips down.
Donnie put his arms up. "Weo." He said. Leo sighed and picked him up.
"Come on its too early to be awake." Leo said as he watched Eclips begin to crawl under the blanket and snuggle up. "See Eclips is going to sleep." Leo looked at Donnie.
"No." Donnie said and covered Leo's eyes with his hands.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked.
"I no sleep." Donnie said.
"Why not?" Leo asked as he moved Donnie's hand off his eyes.
"No tired." Donnie sat back in Leo's arms.
"Well I am and so is Eclips so you have to go back to sleep." Leo said as he sat on the bed.
"No." Donnie jumped out of Leo's arms and onto the bed. "Play."
"No." Leo sighed. "No play, sleep."
"NO PLAY!" Donnie pushed Leo.
"Don't yelled and don't push me." Leo growled and gently knocked Donnie down onto the bed.
"WEO!" Donnie kicked about as Leo began to tickle him. "HAHA!" Donnie giggled and squirmed about.
"This should tire you out." Leo thought aloud as he continued to tickle Donnie until his movements became slow. "You tired now?" Leo asked.
"Yes…" Donnie said breathily and yawned.
"Good now time to go back to bed." Leo yawned as well. He picked Donnie up and rested him beside Eclips. "Night." He stroked Donnie's head as he pulled the blanket over him. Within minutes Donnie was asleep. Leo smiled as he got comfortable and also fell asleep.
