Chapter 12

"It's a girl." Cindy smiled then handed Leo their Baby, she moaned softly but didn't wake up.

" She's beautiful, just like her mother." Leo smiled and held the baby close to his chest.

" What you gonna call her?" Mikey asked.

" I don't know.." Cindy shrugged.

" How about Emily?" Don suggested, Cindy and Leo looked at each other and nodded.

" Our beautiful Emily." Leo smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

" Would anyone else like to hold her?" Cindy asked. Hands shot up, Cindy smiled as Leo gave Emily to Don first.

" She is beautiful isn't she?" Don smiled. " Hello.." he whispered to her then handed her over to Mikey.

" She's a proper dudette! And I'm her uncle!" he smiled.

" God help her!" Raph replied.

" May I?" Splinter asked and took the baby into his arms. " Just like the old days." he smiled then handed her to Raph.

" She looks just like her mother." he commented and handed her back to Cindy. Just then, Danni entered the room,

" Ok, everybody out! Out! Out! Out!" she yelled.

" No! She's just had a baby!" Don persisted.

" I don't care! Get out of this room now!" she yelled even louder, she looked menacing. Raph walked up to her,

" Give us a good reason why!" he growled. Cindy held onto Emily with Leo right next to her.

" Fine!" she then shoved him over and pushed him out of the door. " Now get out! This is my apartment."

" My sons.. Maybe we should-"

" No! Your sister's just had a baby, come over and congratulate her." Leo said.

" Yeah! She's a cool dudette!" Mikey smiled.

Danni sighted in exasperation. " Everyone out except Leo! Move it!"

" My sons!" Splinter said, so everyone except Leo, Cindy and Danni left.

Danni shut the door after them and let out a sigh of relieve, the went over to Cindy and was about to touch little Emily when Cindy pulled her away.

" Why did you do that? That was so rude!" Cindy hissed.

Danni sighed and rolled her eyes, she wasn't even listening to her! Cindy growled and looked at Leo and Kissed him.

" She's really cute, congratulations!" Danni said with a crooked smile.

" I can see you really meant that!" Cindy said sarcastically.

" I did!"

Cindy sighed and shook her head.

" Would you like to hold her?" Leo offered.

" Yeah.."

" Ok, here." Leo took Emily from her mother and handed her over to Danni.

" She has your eyes." Danni said to Leo, inspecting the baby who was gurgling happily.

" Yeah.. But she has Cindy's smile." he said affectionately.

Cindy smiled and nodded, she then yawned.

" Cind, have some sleep and I'll take Emily outside." Leo said and took his daughter away from Danni and limped out of the room.

" So Danni, why were you so rude to the others? Why did you want them to go out?" Cindy asked as she pushed her duvet off her.

" One, PMT. Two, you just gave birth to a baby."

" Right.. Is that it?"

" Pretty much." she muttered with a distance look in her eyes.

Cindy growled softly to herself then led down and on the bed and pulled the covers over her, so Danni left the room.

" I hate her!" Raph growled, he was sat on a sofa clenching his hands.

" My sons, this is Danni's apartment, we must respect her wishes." Splinter said.

" You know what we could do, if Cindy would like to.." Don began. " Maybe, she could hang out at April's, it's a lot easier for us to get there and we'll be out of Danni's way."

" Hum.. Maybe. That's a good idea bro!" Mikey smiled.

" Thank you." he smiled, just then Leo and Danni came out of the room.

" Is Cind ok?" Mikey asked.

" She's fine!" Danni replied and sat down on her sofa next to Raph but had her back to him.

" Leo.." Mikey said and took him over to a corner.

" Yes?"

" Don was thinking that maybe we could move Cindy to April's."

" Why?"

" Well.. April's is a lot easier to get to and she won't yell at us."

" Hum.. Maybe. But we got to ask Cind first."

" Ok, leave it to me!" Mikey smiled and went into Cindy's room whilst Leo sat on a chair with Emily in his arms.

" Where's he going?" Danni asked.

" In Cindy's room!" Raph growled.

" Yeah I know that! But why?!"

" How am I meant to know?!" Raph snapped. Danni and Raph were glaring at each other, Splinter was shaking his head and sighing.

Mikey soon returned from Cindy's room, everyone looked at him.

" She said yes."

" Great!" Raph smiled.

" Said yes to what?" Danni asked.

" We should ring April first." Don said, he got out his shell cell and rung her shell cell.

" Hello?" April answered.

" Hi April it's Don. We were wondering if it's ok for Cindy and her new born baby to stay with you for a little while?"

" Uh.. Sure. Ok. When will she be coming over?"

" ten minutes?"

" Ok, see you then."

" Bye." he then hung up, " Ok, let's go." he said, Cindy was walking out of her room slowly but surely. Splinter had gotten up and was heading to the door with Don and Mikey, Raph was waiting for Cindy and Leo was still sat on the sofa. Also waiting for Cindy.

" What is going on?!" Danni yelled.

" I'm going to stay round April's for a little while." Cindy replied as she walked over to Leo, helped him stand up and took Emily from him.

" Why?"

" Why? Well.." Cindy began.

" She just needs some peace and quite!" Raph replied.

" No!" Cindy snapped. " I just want to some time away. Is that ok?"

" Yeah, whatever." Danni replied and sat back down. Cindy looked at down then slowly followed the others, not saying a word.
