"So hey bro," Michelangelo called in between chews of chips. "who's gonna be your best man?" He looked over his shoulder and back of the couch at his passing older brother, that was sliding his katana back in their hold.

"Uh, well I already chose him." He shrugged, stopping beside the couch as Mikey's eye ridges creased slowly together.

"Who?" He asked as Raphael started to jog down the stairs towards the kitchen, glancing in their direction for a moment and then back to rummaging through the fridge.

"Uh, Donnie." Leo said, averting his little brother's blue eyes as they widened.

"What?! Dude!" He exclaimed getting from the couch as Raph watched from the kitchen, drinking from a orange juice carton.

"What's the matter?" He called out, closing the fridge and walking into the living room.

"Leo chose Don to be his best man!" Mikey yelled pointing towards the brother in question as Donnie walked out of his lab.

"Why are you all yelling? I'm working on something." Don scowled, lifting his goggles from his head as Raph shook his head.

"You kiddin' me? Donnie?" Raph asked walking over to Leo as the oldest sighed, shaking his head.

"It made sense at the time. You're still going to be in the wedding." He shrugged as Raph snorted and Mikey scoffed.

"Yeah, dude as what? Ushers? Oh, my, my, my what a honor!" Mikey said sarcastically as Leo sighed once more.

"It wasn't like that, we had something to talk about and when he asked I said yes." Don shrugged as Raph scoffed again, shaking his head.

"Dude, how could you? I mean, I'm the little brother! I'm the awesome one! Why'd you even… I mean, Donnie?! Dude!"

"Mike, it was the right decision." Leo said with sorry eyes to his brother as Mikey pouted, crossing his arms over his plastron.

"Bullshit." Raph rolled his eyes. "Don just got to 'em first." He waved it off, walking back towards the kitchen.

"When'd you ask 'em?" Mikey asked, looking towards Don. Don sighed and shrugged.

"It was, uh, a couple nights before he purposed."

"We were talking about something and all my pros and cons on the matter and Don was there." Leo shrugged, slightly flustered from wide eyed stares he was getting from Mikey and a crossed arm, smug smirk from Raph. "It just seemed right at the time." He sighed as Raph rolled his eyes and continued his walk back into the kitchen.

"Donnie is probably the better choice Mike." He called over his shoulder.

"How?!" Mikey protested.

"I'm gonna get wasted and you're too much of a numb nut to write a good speech." He chuckled as Leo snorted, covering his mouth from a laugh.

"I could write an awesome speech." Mikey grumbled sitting back down on the couch as Leo sighed and walked back towards the kitchen.

"So, you're not upset?" He asked softly to Raph as he leaned against the counter.

"It's your choice man." He shrugged. "I mean, it's not like I didn't think about it, 'cause I did, but, ya know, it's your call." He shrugged again as Leo smirked.

"If I got to you first, it'd be a different situation. I still want you to make a speech." Leo smirked moving his gaze from his brother's as Raph did the same, both looking in different directions of the room.

"I know." He mumbled softly, pushing himself from the counter and jogging back towards his room.

Willow and girls moved themselves in and out of shops in Manhattan for the better part of the day. It was nearly four o'clock in the night and Isabella sighed rubbing her sore feet in the seat of the restaurant they all stopped at. Felicia adjusted her glasses as Riley sat beside her sipping her beer, along with Willow who rolled her eyes at April's protest.

"That dress was amazing on you!" April said shaking her head and sipping her martini.

"It made me look like a tire. Or barrel! No, way." Willow pouted as Riley snorted in her beer, trying to hid her laughter. Felicia elbowed her, fighting back giggles of her own.

"I think that the bell dress is perfect for your shape. The ones we've picked weren't right." Izzy shrugged, sipping her drink as Willow gestured towards her.

"See! Bell, like Cinderella. Taffeta and tool! I want a princess dress!" Willow smiled sipping her margarita.

"For someone that didn't care, you're starting to act like a bridezilla." Riley said as Izzy snorted this time.

"I know what I want. Every girls dream is to find the perfect man and have the perfect wedding. I found the perfect man and I want my perfect wedding!" She said pounding her fist down for emphasis.

"I think you two created a monster." Riley said leaning over the table to Izzy and April as they rolled their eyes.

"It's getting easier to see it all play out. I was just nervous. But, this I mean, how can I mess this up?" Willow asked with a shrug. "It's Leo and me. There is nothing more perfect than that. It's just, you can't mess up anything he does, ever because he's perfect and I mean, me, well there's a lot of work there and I'll most likely look plain in anything I wear in comparison to him and his brother's. But,-"

"Shut up." Felicia said in a chuckle. "You can't mess upyour wedding. This is what you want and Leo is going to like anything you do because it's you doing it. He's just as much in love with you as you are him. So, get over it." She finished in another chuckled as the rest of the girls joined in. Willow nodded.

"I suppose you're ri-"

"Damn right I'm right!" Felicia said as Riley raised her glass.

"Here, here!" She said clinking her glass with Felicia's.

"You've been hanging out with Raph waaay too much." Willow laughed as Felicia shrugged, swigging her beer.

"Maybe you're right. But, it's good for me."

"Damn skippy!" Riley said slapping her hand down a few times on the table as Izzy shrunk down in her seat to people starting to look their way.

"So, those invitations, the ones with the plain white embroider with the beading on top," April started, turning to look at Willow as she nodded with a smile. "You liked those ones?"

"Yeah, the ones with the slight deep red to them too. But, I want it to be a really class, deep magenta."

"Oh, that would be pretty." Izzy gushed as Willow smiled, nodding her head.

"I know right! Ok, so those and we should really start looking at flowers, oh and a hall. I have to pick a hall!" Willow said in a gasp as April chuckled.

"It's alright. I've been looking around and there is this really beautiful hotel down on Spring street, not far off from the gardens we were talking about having the ceremony at. It's not that expensive and it's a beautiful grand place, with enough space for everyone."

"That's all I was worried about, was how many people and…"

"Well, that's the next thing we should do." Izzy said clapping her hands. "We need to make a guest list."

"Oh, God…" Willow groaned covering her face with her hands.

"Well, I can help with that." Felicia shrugged as Riley nodded.

"You two basically have the same family." She chuckled as Felicia laughed.

"And you have your mother to help." April suggested. "She'll know who you'll want to invite and even those who you won't…" She chuckled. "But, the more you invite, the more presents you get!"

"Presents are good." Willow nodded. "Speakin' of my mom, I need to tell her about this she'll wanna come down and help pick things out." She sighed as all the girls nodded and finished their drinks.

Getting back to the apartment, Riley and Willow settled their things down on the kitchen table as Willow sighed, picking up the phone to call her mother. Felicia sat in a chair looking up anxiously at Willow as her fingers twirled the phone cord nervously.

"Hello."

"Hi daddy, is mum there?" Willow asked softly as Felicia smirked.

"Oh of course pumpkin, hold on." She heard her father call out her mother's name as the phone was transferred over to her.

"Hey baby, what's up?" She asked as Willow chewed her bottom lip.

"Well I've been planning out the wedding with April and Izz all week and I wanted to talk to you about it, see how its playing out."

"Oh sweetie that's great! I was so scared you'd wait till last minuet. I know how you can be, it's so great of you to have friends like April and Isabella." She smiled as Willow rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, exactly what I was thinking." She grumbled. "Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to come over and help-"

"Actually, your father and I were just discussing that a few nights ago. We had a plan that you and the boys should come down here. We're gonna invite some of the family, just a little get together. Pre-wedding party so to speak." She sounded so enthused as Willow's eyes widened to the thought. Her heart started to pick up and Felicia got from her chair quickly to her friends side, pressing her ear close to Willow's. "You grandmother is dying to meet his man that finally was able to get you to settle down." Felicia chuckled lightly as Willow shoved her away. "Being of course the boys will be in their human disguises."

"Well, yeah how else are they-"

"Good, so we were thinking maybe this weekend, I already called your grandma and told her. Your aunt Ruth and Janice are coming as well." She said with a happy sigh. "Oh baby, we're all so proud of you. I love Leo you know I do, as he is normally and everything but, I mean showing him off as I saw him as a human you are going to be the luckiest girl to them!"

"I don't see it like that Leo is Leo to me and-"

"Oh, of course baby. He will always be just Leo to you, no matter what. But, your grandma and aunts don't need to know that." Willow sighed and nodded her head.

"Yeah I know mah."

"Good. So, next weekend?"

"I guess, I mean I'll have to talk to Leo 'bout it but-"

"Oh great! And the girls are invited too! That means you Licia, don't think I didn't hear that giggle." Felicia smirked and rolled her eyes.

"Hi Mrs. G." She called over the phone as Maggie chuckled.

"Hello daughter number two. So, this weekend, talk to Leo and call me back. I already called everyone so they should be arriving at around two or three, so you guys should be here by noon, unless you all come up the night before. Oh, actually that might work better! Come up the night before that way I can have those boys help set up everything!"

"Wait, you already planned everything? What if I have things to do?"

"Well, do you?"

"Well, no but Leo will-"

"Well good. Oh, this is going to be so great. I love you, call your brothers and tell them as well!"

"Wait, why can't you…ah…" She sighed. "Fine, yeah. I love you too."

"Bye baby." The phone went dead on her end and Willow sighed hanging up.

"Well," She said crossing her arms and looking at Felicia as she jumped on the counter. "Leo's gonna kill me."

"Oh, I doubt that."

"They can't afford a weekend away from the city, not with that crazy Karai chick walkin' around."

"Casey and April can keep an eye out, it'll be fine. Believe me the faster Leo meets your family the shorter the divorce will be." Felicia chuckled as Willow shoved her again.

"Shut up, you know your mom and brothers are gonna be there too, don't forget."

"Yeah, but they'll be timid animals comparatively." She laughed again as Riley walked out of her room into the kitchen.

"She's right." She said before going into the fridge for a soda.

"You don't even know what we were talkin' 'bout!" Will complained, flopping down in Felicia's open chair. Riley chuckled.

"Your crazy ass Italian family." Willow groaned, putting her head in her hands. "This is gonna be a fun weekend!" Riley clapped her hands as Willow dropped her head on the table in another groan.

"I have to talk to Leo." She mumbled getting from her chair, grabbing her bag and jacket and heading to the door.

"We'll come with!" Felicia exclaimed as Riley smirked mussing her hair up.

"Anxious to see Raphie-boy again?" She asked as Felicia pushed her hand away.

"No, all the guys too."

"Uh huh." Riley chuckled as they followed Willow out into the hallway.

Willow pulled the hidden lever for the lair doors with Riley and Felicia close behind. She sighed for a moment before walking inside being greeted by the elderly rat.

"Hello my daughter, how you are this evening?" He asked kindly as he slowly clicked his way down the large staircase. Willow hurried to his side, taking his arm in hers.

"I have been better Master." She said solemnly as the wise rat lifted his face to hers.

"Such a sour expression on such a beautiful face. What bother's you my child?" He asked patting her hand as she smiled for a moment with another sigh.

"My mother is planning a pre-wedding gathering at her house this weekend."

"That is wonderful Willow." He said in a true tone of happiness as Willow shook her head.

"You are all invited, she wants you all to be there."

"And we will." He said keeping his smile and tone as Willow's brow furrowed in confusion.

"Wait, what? What 'bout…"

"My child, those trials of our past will come to us sooner or later. We will face them when they do. Now, is a happy time for you and my son to express your love and devotion. You will not worry about such nonsense when the time is not right." He said in a stern, still caring voice. She nodded her head as he held her hand in between the two of his paws. "He will be worried as my Leonardo always is. He will love you no matter what and the time your mother is planning will be wonderful for us all." He said patting her hand as he walked back into his room.

Willow watched Splinter walk away as her eyes went back to the stair well, and Leo's room where he leaned against the banister. His arms were crossed and he stared down at her not removing his gaze. She felt a soft shiver call over her body from the intensity of his glare. He heard their conversation. How long had he been standing there? She sighed and looked towards Riley and Felicia as they made their way over, Riley placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Now or never champ." She whispered as Willow sighed nodding her head and desending the stairs.

He watched her carefully with every movement she made. Her eyes flicked from over to him to back down at her slowly moving feet, back to him. Never once faltering in his glare. She wrapped her arms tightly around her torso, as another shiver crawled over her. This was going to be interesting.

"Can we, um, talk?" She asked softly as she finally padded her way over to him. His arms still crossed and posture still leaning against the banister.

"I think we need to." He said flatly and turned towards his room, leaving her behind. She sighed following after him.

He waited for her to enter his dimly lit room, candle light flickered against his brick walls, and in any other situation it would have been considered romantic. But, the gnawing feeling in the pit of Willow's stomach was telling her other wise. She kept her arms around her, tightly as she heard the soft click of his door closing and almost winced.

"So?" He said from right behind her and her she fought to keep her body from trembling.

"My, um, mom invited us all down for the weekend."

"Sounds nice." He said, his voice still on edge as she nodded slowly. He moved to her side now, slowly coming into her vision as she let her eyes raise up to his. They were still hard on hers and she averted back down to his carpet quickly.

"She wants you all to come."

"You said, what exactly?"

"I tired to-to tell her…" She sighed feeling extremely anxious, still feeling his eyes trying to tear into hers. She flickered her eyes to his for a moment and back down at the floor. She felt like a little girl again, getting scowled for drawing on the walls. "She didn't exactly give me any time to explain anything. She already invited my family and-"

"And you didn't think to consult me on the matter first?" He asked as she rolled her eyes now crossing her arms over her chest, shifting her weight on another foot.

"Leonardo she was the one-" She started out, her voice slowly raising and he cut her off.

"So, why did you agree to something like that Willow, without consulting me about it first? You still haven't answered my question." He asked, his brow furrowed in anger as she sighed for the umpteenth time that night moving herself to his bed.

"If you stopped interrupting me I could!" She snapped as he narrowed his eyes. "She wouldn't let me explain and she told me to talk to you about it and call her back but I know my mother and she already told me that the family was coming. So, whether you're going to be there or not I have to and if you plan on making a horrible impression with me family before our wedding than be my guest! You don't even know what the Foot are up too! You have no idea where Karai is or what-"

"We're working on that, exactly the reason why he need to stay here." He growled at her as she rolled her eyes.

"Then you stay here," She said mimicking his tone of voice as he narrowed his eyes for a moment. "and the rest of your family who are invited will come and make a wonderful impression with my family. But! None of that will fuckin' matter, because the only person that will need to be there for our wedding party is you and I. And since you need to have some kind of macho, 'eyes on the city' kick right now then I guess this whole thing is pointless!" She stood in front of him, her chest heaving from harsh breaths of her anger getting the best of her. He watched carefully, his eyes lightening on hers as he let her calm down.

"This is important to you?" He asked, his voice softer as her brows furrowed for a moment and then she nodded. "I didn't think it was going to be that important to you." He shrugged. "I just don't understand why you couldn't have come to me about it first?"

"I-I didn't have a choice Tiger," She said slapping her hands on her thighs and sitting back on the edge of his bed. "she cornered me." She shrugged as Leo let out a soft groan, running his hand over his face.

"She's your mother, there had to of been some kind of way to explain to her that you needed to wait. At least wait to talk to me about it." He said shaking his head.

"I'm sorry." She breathed, letting her head fall as Leo sighed, dropping to his knees in front of her and grasping her hands tightly in his own. "She's a very persuasive woman." She shrugged as Leo smirked.

"I am fully aware of the persuasiveness you woman hold in your family." Willow smiled, lifting her eyes to his. He leaned up giving her a chaste kiss before sighing once more. "Just next time, try and explain that you have to discuss these weekend trips with me first." He edged as she nodded her head.

"I know, and I knew you'd be upset but-"

"I'm not upset with you love." He said giving her another soft kiss. "I'm just frustrated with leaving. If it were just myself going, that wouldn't be a problem. But, since she wants all of us it's a little harder to be ok with. Everything that has been going on and we haven't heard anything doing with the Foot or Karai since that night." He shook his head letting it fall on Willow's shoulder as she stroked the back of his neck, down his strong shoulders against the edge of his shell. "It's just frustrating. I don't know when she will strike again, but I feel it will be soon and that, it's just…"

"Frustrating?" Willow finished as Leo sighed again.

"Yes."

"We'll figure something out." Willow said softly, trying to come up with a way to sooth his tension she was feeling in his shoulders as he nodded his head against hers.

"Casey will call us if anything happens and with myself or Raph driving it is really only a forty-five minuet ride back into the city." She felt his wide mouth smile against her bare shoulder as she rolled her eyes.

"In who's car?"

"Well either yours or Riley's. Felicia's jeep would most likely die on us. Or we should always use Tyler's." He smiled picking his head up as Willow shoved him playfully.

"Yeah right. So am I to guess that our first purchase instead of a nice home would be to get you a fast car?"

"I didn't say that, you did." He smirked standing up as she rolled her eyes.

He pushed her back on his bed and crawled up her body, straddling her waist. He lifted her hands that were softly skimming the taunt skin of his biceps, putting them over her head. She squirmed against his hold but, did little to get free. She knew it would be useless.

"Actually the more I think 'bout it," She stated with a smile as his beak started to softly glide across her forearm, up to her shoulder and against her neck. "the thought of you shifting gears in a fast call is starting to turn me on a little." She giggled as he freed on of his hands around her wrists to slowly cross the curve of her side, still holding both her wrists above her head in one of his hand. Goose bumps washed over her skin as she let out a soft sigh from the feeling of his lips pout against her pulse point. "So, we're done fighting?"

"Who was fighting?" He asked, his voice filled with a dark husk as she shivered under him.

"No one." She smirked as he nodded his head.

"That's what I thought."

"I can't believe we have to go and meet Will's family." Mikey sighed from the couch as Riley and him playing a video game. Donnie, Raph and Felicia sat in the kitchen nodding their heads.

"It honestly won't be that bad." Felicia shrugged, looking from the little brother to the older two.

"What if they don't like me?" Mikey pouted as Riley chuckled.

"Who wouldn't like you?" She asked nudging his shoulder as he smirked.

"Yeah besides, they put up with Hayden." Raph called out as Felicia chuckled.

"Yeah, believe me Mike you have nothing to worry about." She said as she took out her cell. "Speaking of which, I need to call that shithead." She chuckled as Raph snorted along with her.

"Yello." Hayden picked up on the other end as Felicia shook her head with a smile.

"Hey weenie, you need to go to your parents this weekend."

"Oh yeah that pre-wedding whatever. Are the guys goin'?"

"Yeah, all of 'em. What's Tyler been up too?"

"I have no idea, he hasn't come out with me in forever. Has Will heard from 'em?"

"No, neither have I… Huh…" She bent the phone from her mouth and turned to Raph. "Hey have any of your guys heard from Tyler?"

"No, well, he went to a hockey game with Casey couple nights ago." Donnie shrugged as Raph nodded.

"I'll call 'em." Hayden sighed from the other line as Felicia agreed. "He likes to drop off the face of the earth every now and again."

"Doesn't he have a new girl in his life?" Riley asked from the couch as Raph and Donnie shrugged.

"Probably." Hayden mumbled.

"You call him and then call me or Will back."

"Yes ma'am." Hayden chuckled as Felicia rolled her eyes hanging up.

"Well, that solves that problem. So, now all you guys have to do is mental prepare yourselves for a very long weekend." She chuckled as Donnie winced and Raph rolled his eyes.

"It's just a family, I think we can handle an out there kinda family." He said shaking his head as Donnie smirked.

"I guess that does make sense, considering the foundations of our family." Donnie laughed as Felicia rolled her eyes.

"Oh, you just wait and see." She said walking back towards the living room. Donnie and Raph exchanged glances for a moment before turning away with worried expressions.
