Author's Note: Ok I thought this was going to be a oneshot but after thinking about it I decided to add another chapter. Hope you like this, it may not be as good since it's not a creative as the first. Still enjoy.

Both of Splinter's eyes opened as he started to slowly wake up from his peaceful sleep. As all of his senses returned to him as he then felt a presence next to him. Turning his head he saw Donatello sound asleep next to him on his plastron, the memory of the night returning to him. The old rat looked down at the face of his sleeping son, who had a peaceful look upon his face as a quiet snores escaped him.

Reaching over his rubbed a couple of circles on his shell before sitting up. Taking the blanket off of himself Splinter then covered up his son some more. After the night he had the rat decided to let him sleep in, knowing that he would need it.

Both ears twitched as he heard a knock at his door. "Master Splinter, are you awake?" The voice of Leonardo was recognized.

An eye rose in confusion as he looked at the clock near his bed. The hands showed that it was almost eight. "Come in Leonardo," he spoke as he rose to his feet.

The door slid open as the blue clad turtle came into the room, "Sorry Sensei but I thought you may-" Leo stopped speaking when he saw Don asleep in his father's bed. An eye rose in curiosity as to what was going on. "Uh Master Splinter, why is-"

"Shhh…" Splinter spoke, motioning his son to be silent. "Your brother had a troubled night, please do not wake him."

"Ok…what happened?" Leo asked, wanting to know.

"Your brother just experienced a nightmare, nothing more," Splinter simply responded as he walked over and grabbed his walking stick. "He was fearful of experiencing it once more so I suggested he sleep here."

"But we haven't done that since we were children."

That just caused Splinter to grin, "None of you are ever too old for anything of the like."

Leo stayed silent as he took another look at Donny, seeing the rise and fall of his chest as he slept and the peacefulness his young brother had as he slept. He couldn't help but smile at that before looking at Splinter, "You coming for breakfast Master?"

"Yes, I'll be out in a minute."

"What about Don? And morning practice?"

The old rat held up a hand to silence his oldest child. "Let your brother sleep, he deserves it right now. He's excused from practice."

Leo nodded as he turned and exited the room, leaving his brother and father in the room. Once gone Splinter turned and walked by Donatello's side, kneeling down as he rubbed more circles on his shell. After last night the old rat knew letting his second youngest sleep is a good idea. Mainly because he's known not to sleep on time and this could be the only good night sleep the purple clad turtle would get.

"Sleep well, my son," Splinter spoke as he rose and exited his room.

A few hours later Don's tired eyes opened as a yawn escaped him. Looking around both eyes rose as he found himself in his father's bed, by himself. It was then the memory of last night came. The embarrassment from last night returned at the fact he slept in his father's bed after having a nightmare. Still he couldn't help but feel better after his father comfort him the way he did.

Both eyes wandered over to the clock his father had, they widen as he saw that it was none, and almost lunch time. "I…over slept." He was confused as he looked around but still didn't find his father in it. The thought of leaving the room came to mind but then the thought of his brothers came to mind.

Chances are his brothers might make fun of him for going to his father for comfort and he didn't want that right now. Someone had to have gone and wake him for morning practice so they knew something must have been up after they didn't find him, and chances were that Splinter told them what happened. Still he couldn't stay in here all day, mainly because his stomach started to growl. So gulping the purple clad turtle stood up and left the room.

Upon exiting he found that no one was around, but everyone's voice could be heard coming from the kitchen. Taking a breath he walked into the kitchen and found his brothers and father inside, sitting down to lunch. All the chatter stopped as they realized that Don had entered the room, all eyes on him. Already the embarrassment started to fill him.

"Good afternoon my son, did you sleep well?" it was Splinter who was the first to speak.

"Uh…Ok, thanks for asking," Don responded as he walked over and sat in his usual spot.

"Here you go bro," Mikey spoke as he laid a plate pizza in front, a smile on his face. This was odd, by now he would be expecting some kind of slander from them, but then the thought of Splinter being there told him why it wasn't happening.

It was then his father finished a glass of water before standing up, "I'll be in the dojo, if anyone needs me." After receiving nods the old rat left, and with him gone Don knew that his brothers were going to dig into him for this now.

Once their father left it was Leo who spoke first, looking at his younger brother. "You ok?"

That made Don raise an eye that was unexpected, "Uh…yeah."

Raph was the next one to speak, "Leo told us what happened."

"Great here it comes," He thought to himself.

"Get enough rest?" it was Mikey who asked, surprising Don.

"Uh…Yeah…I'm good," Donny responded, a bit confused. "Wait…I thought you three were going to rag on me?"

"Why would we do that?" Raph asked, taking a bite of his food.

"Because I slept in father's bed…like when we were children," he explained, more confused as ever.

"I don't find anything wrong with that," the emerald green turtle responded coolly.

Leo sighed as he explained to his brother, "Donny, we all tend to have nightmares and there's nothing wrong with Master Splinter helping you. I mean yeah we were a bit worried after hearing that you had a nightmare, but relieved that you were able to sleep afterwards. Besides it's better that it happened rather than you having another nightmare again."

"So yeah bro, don't worry about," Mikey slapped a hand on his brother's shell.

Donny couldn't help but smile at this, glad to know his brothers weren't making fun of him for doing something childish. He's glad they understood, so now he was able to loosen up and act as if nothing happened.

After lunch the four brothers all went their own way to do their own thing. Don stood outside the kitchen as he contemplated what to do. The words of his father saying he would be in the dojo returned. Wanting to thank him for what he did the purple clad turtle made his way over to the dojo.

Once inside he could see Master Splinter meditating in the center of the room. Thinking that now wasn't a good time Donny turned to leave but jumped at a voice.

"Something wrong Donatello?" both of the aged rat's eyes open as he saw his son before him.

"I'm sorry sensei, I didn't mean to disturb you," the olive green turtle looked at the floor.

"Nonsense, it is alright, please come forward." Looking up Donny moved and sat down a few feet away from his father. "Is there something wrong?"

"Uh…no…I just wanted to thank you for helping me last night," Don managed to say, both eyes on his father. "I might have not been able to fall back asleep if it wasn't for that."

"You are welcome my son," Splinter responded with a smile.

"And thank you for letting me sleep in. To be truthful it helped."

"You deserved rest my son, after having a dream such as yours the one you needed is rest."

"I understand that…and also Master…if any way I disturbed you I'm sorry for it."

A chuckle came out of Splinter's mouth, "It's quite alright Donatello, it's fine. Remember something though, no matter what happens even if you have a problem or even if it's a nightmare I'm always here for you."

Donny smiled as he heard this, "Thank you."

"You are welcome my son," Splinter responded as he resumed his meditation.

Donny was about to stand and leave but then something else came to his mind. Looking over to his father he spoke, "Master?"

"Is there something else on your mind?" Splinter opened his eyes.

"No it was just…do you mind if I join you?" Donny asked sheepishly. Meditating was something he didn't really do often, but now he felt like joining his father.

The old rat smiled at this, "not at all my son, actually I welcome it."

Donny smiled as he assumed lotus position and soon fell into a meditative trance along with his father. Both of them were lost on the astral plane together as silence filled the room. A minute later Leo walked in the dojo, with the intent of joining Splinter, but stopped when he saw not only his father but his brother meditating.

The blue clad turtle smiled as he realized what was happening. Slowly he walked out of the dojo, leaving the two alone. In reality Leo thought this moment should just be for the two of them only. As he meditated Don could help but be happy being here with Splinter. He could tell that he was a lot closer to his father than before.

A/N: Hope you liked. Hopefully you all understood what I was doing in this last part. I'll be doing more oneshots soon, when I think of plots. Till then I hope this was enough for now.
