END OF AUTHORS NOTE

The family rushed into the lab to see the oldest turtle lying on the ground unconscious but shaking visibly. Raph and Don dashed to his side and Don carefully checked his pulse and let out a sigh of relief.

"He's still alive" he said and the group felt a little bit of weight lift off their shoulders.

"Will he be alright?" Mikey asked, shaking slightly. Don stood up and hugged his youngest brother.

"I don't know Mikey. I need to find out what caused this and see what damage it will do. If we're lucky, it might not do any damage but there will always be that risk that we can't save him. Raph" he said, calling softly to the turtle that was kneeling beside his older brother.

"Yeah?" he asked, not taking his eyes off his brother. Don glanced at Mikey and Casey as a sign to leave. They nodded and walked out, Casey putting an arm around Mikey. Don's stomach burned but he didn't know why. Why did that scene make me feel so… so… upset? He thought. He shook the thought away and kept talking to Raph.

"I need you to carry Leo. We need to get him on to the hospital bed. I can check him there ok?"

Raph nodded and picked Leo up as if he were a delicate flower. April had cleared the bench and grabbed some useful tools that would be needed, but she stopped, staring at Raph.

They are soooo meant to be she thought gleefully. Leo was laid on the table and Raph didn't leave his side. He bent down and whispered to him.

"You gotta be strong Fearless. We need ya here ok? I need ya." He whispered. "Stay strong" he added and walked away. He headed out to the outside. Don will bring him back. He has April to be his assistant so that will make it better.

Mikey was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands and Casey was sitting next to him trying to reassure him that Leo would be fine.

"Shh. It's alright Mikey. Leo will be fine. Donnie's git everything under control" Raph heard Casey say as he drew near.

"R-Raph" Raph's heart broke at his brother's voice. It sounded strained and sad. Raph walked over and gave his brother a small hug. He hated showing affection like this but his brother needed it.

"It will be okay Mikey. Remember, it's Donnie who's with him" he said smiling.

They waited in the open space of the lair for a couple of hours. April came out shaking her head in exasperation. Raph immediately rushed to her side asking questions.

"Is he okay? Will he get better? Did ya find what was wrong?" he questioned frantically with Mikey up at his side at once. April sighed and shook her head.

"He took a friggin sleeping pill! They don't go to well with animals and he will be out for a while. But don't worry" she added quickly as Raph suddenly opened his mouth to repeat some of the questions. "He'll be ok. He should be waking up in an hour. I better get going. Casey, come. We gotta go help with the party tomorrow." She waved back and Casey followed after giving Mikey a comforting hug.

They left the lair. Mikey sighed and walked towards his room.

"I'm gonna go to bed. We have the party tomorrow and I'd like to be up and ready! Night bro!" he said. Raph mumbled "night".

Mikey turned and smiled at Raph. "He'll be okay Raph. Don't worry"

Those were his parting words as he left for his beauty sleep. Raph looked around the room before tip toeing to the lab.

He saw his brother and his heart melted. Leo was lying on a bed with a blanket wrapped around him. He looked so innocent. Raph smiled at his secret crush before turning to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay?" a voice stopped him. Don was standing near the door way with an extra pillow and blanket. Raph hesitated before answering.

"You're better at this stuff Donnie" he protested as Don shoved the stuff into his arms and started herding him towards the chair.

"Just do this Raph!" He sighed before walking out of the room. Raph grumbled, but they soon died away as he looked at Leo. He smiled at the figure and sat on the chair where he would be sleeping. He was rearranging the pillows into a more comfortable position when Raph heard Leo moan. He looked and saw his brother shivering slightly.

Raph grabbed the blanket and wrapped his brother up. Leo smiled at the new found warmness and snuggled deeper into the mass of pillows and blankets.

Must be enjoying his sleep Raph thought in amusement as he checked the time. The day had gone fast. It was 9pm.

"Night Bro. See ya tomorrow." Raph whispered into Leo's ear while laying a small kiss on his forehead.

He never noticed that once he turned around, one of Leo's eyes opened and he smiled at his brother.

Night my sweet, Raphael…
