"Come on, you can do it." Raph smiled as he held out his arms. Eclips looked across at Raph as Mikey held her up right.
"Ready?" Mikey asked as he let Eclips go. Eclips wobbled and quickly fell back, Mikey caught her and scooped her up. "I don't think she's ready Raph." Mikey frowned.
"She is she just needs a reason too." Leo smiled as he came out of the hall.
"How's Donnie?" Raph asked.
Leo sighed. "Snoring and whistling like hell." Leo grinned "But no signs of waking anytime soon."
"He'll be fine, if anything the dude needed a couple days sleep. He works none stop!" Raph said as he took Eclips from Mikey.
"DONNIE!" Eclips yelled happily.
Leo laughed and rubbed Eclips' chin. "How is it you can say Donnie and not Leo?" Leo asked. Eclips grinned and grabbed his mask, pulling it so it slipped around his neck.
"Eo!" Eclips chirped. "EO, APH! MIKEY!" Eclips said loudly.
"Haha dudes she can said my name fine too yo!" Mikey smiled.
"Ok, what about Casey?" Leo asked Eclips. Eclips frowned and stuck out her tongue making her brothers brust out laughing.
"Y-You think Donnie taught her that?" Raph chuckled.
"Maybe." Leo panted as he regained his breath. "Ok, Ok, April?" Leo asked Eclips again. Eclips looked at Leo blackly and almost confused. "April?" Leo asked but still didn't get a response. "Weird." Leo sighed.
"I got one." Raph smirked and picked Eclips out of Leo's arms. "Eclips say Shed-
"Raphael!" Splinter snapped making Raph jump around surprised. "Do not teach your sister that name." He warned.
"Why?" Raph asked. "The shre- OW!" Raph yelped as Splinter took Eclips then wacked Raph with his cane. "Fine I won't." Raph sighed and growled at Mikey and Leo who both laughed at him.
Splinter sighed and sat down, he placed Eclips on the floor and watched her quickly crawl away over to the T.V. "You boys need to play with her and not just let her watch T.V." Splinter said.
"We only let her watch TV when she won't sleep." Leo pointed out. "Or when we need a break." He added.
"Yes I guess you are right. Perhaps you could teach her to walk?" Splinter suggested.
"We were trying but she won't stand." Raph said.
"Well give her a reason too, she won't walk if she doesn't have too." Splinter smiled.
"Well then what do we do?" Mikey asked. Splinter chuckled and picked up a toy.
"If she wants something make it harder for her." Splinter held the toy above Eclips' head. She chirped and reached up for it. "You have to stand if you want it." Splinter smirked. Eclips whined and continued to reach for the toy.
"Sensei she's going to cry." Leo frowned.
"Yes but sometimes it is a learning curve. You cried when I taught you not to be afraid of heights." Splinter pointed out.
"W-What! I wasn't afraid of heights." Leo blushed embarrassed as his brothers laughed at him.
"It is nothing to laugh about my sons." Splinter looked at Mikey and Raph. "I have stories of all you, and how you all cried over something you would see as silly now.
Raph and Mikey quickly stopped laughing and looked away. Splinter chuckled at their reactions and jiggled the toy above Eclips' head. "You know you want it and you also know how to get it." Splinter said softly as he wiped the tear from her cheek. Eclips gargled and started to push herself up to her feet. Eclips wobbled making Mikey move closer to catch her in case she fell.
"No my son. Let her fall." Splinter smiled. "She won't be hurt."
Mikey frowned and moved back beside Leo just as Eclips fell back and made a small squeak like noise. "DADDY!" Eclips whaled loudly. Splinter chuckled and gave her the toy.
"That was a good try." Splinter praised as he patted her head. "Now let's see if you we'll stand for your brothers." Splinter smirked at his three sons.
"Can I try?" Leo asked. Splinter smiled and nodded.
"If you can get the toy off her, you may." Splinter grinned as Eclips had already begun to chew on the toy horse.
Leo smiled and knelt down, he grabbed the legs of the toy and pulled at it slightly. Eclips growled and glared at Leo. "Dude watch out she bites!" Mikey warned. "Even without teeth it kinda hurts, well no but it's weird dude. Like a-
"Ok Mikey, I get it. Don't let her bite you." Leo sighed. "Can I have?" Leo asked Eclips. Eclips chirped but didn't let go of the horse. "Please give it to Leo. You'll get it back." Leo said in a baby voice.
"Just take it from her Leo! She's only one!" Raph growled and snatched the to from Eclips causing her to burst to tears and scream. "AH!" Raph yelped and covered his ears.
"Good job Raph, I was trying not to make her cry!" Leo growled as he too covered his ears. Splinter frowned and picked Eclips up and took the toy back from Raph.
"Enough for now my sons. Go cheek on Donatello then start dinner." He said walked down the hall to Eclips' room.
"Aye Sensei!" The boys replied.
