Splinter was deep in meditation when he heard on knock on his bedroom door."Come in." he called, and Dona and Rap came in quietly. "Ah, how are you feeling my dear?" Splinter asked Dona, and she smiled and nodded. "Just fine thank you..." She looked down at her feet."Master Splinter, we have something to tell you."
"You do, have you?" She nodded.
"I don't know how to put this,but..."
Raphael then butted in, "Ya gonna be a grandpa, Sensei!" Splinter looked at them in astonishment.
He shook his head, chuckled to himself then answered, "Then I pray that your child shall be healthy. Congratulations, my son." He bowed toward Raphael and Raph did the same. After that Raph and Dona left the room.
"Well, that was easy." Dona said flippantly.
"Yeah. But Mikey's gonna go crazy when he finds out." said Raph, and Dona chuckled at the thought of Mikey making a big deal out of the situation, which he probably would.
"I'm gonna go see what my crazed bro's makin' in his lab, be right back." Raph announced, but Dona stopped him before he was able to take off.
"No, Raph, leave him alone. Trust me. I tried. He won't let you look at it till he's done."
He groaned, "Yeah, but ya know how he gets."
"Yeah,I know caught up with his little inventions. Now I have something to tell you." Raph looked at her curiously. "I told my mother that we were coming by in a couple months and..."
"Wait. Did you say 'we'? " She nodded, raising an eyebrow at his strange response. "No! Absolutely not!" Raph said, crossing his arms in front of his chest and shaking his head stubbornly.
"Why not! It's been a while since I've seen my mom and she wants to meet you, and so does my dad."
Raph shook his head, and raised his voice slightly. "Yes, Dona! They want to see your nice and handsome HUMAN husband! I don't think I'M what they're expecting!"
Dona glared. "Raphael, they aren't like that! They'll accept you for who you are, I know they will!"
Raph growled in frustration. "And what if they don't! What if they flip out and call the...zoo or something! I mean, they're humans, they're too stupid to accept anyone different from them!" Dona widened her eyes at him, and her jaw clenched. Raph relised what he'd said, and kicked himself mentally. "Dona, I didn't mean-"
"All right, fine." said Dona, her voice wavering dangerously as she glared at him. "Fine. We won't go. I'll just call my mom and tell her something came up. Happy now?" Then, she whipped right around and stomped into their bedroom, slamming the door so hard that a picture fell off the wall outside it. Raph sighed, and shuffled away, knowing it would be useless to apologize now.
