The next morning Willow shuffled down the stairs in a pair of Leo's boxers and his blue button down shirt he had been wearing the day before. She stumbled into the living room with a yawn and groaned at the buzzing in her head as she looked towards the pull out couch. She noticed two pairs of feet sticking out under the old covers and leaned over to see who was sleeping. She covered her mouth in a chuckle as Riley's platinum blonde head was snuggled up against Mikey's tanned hard body.

Shaking her head she went into the kitchen smiling at her parents and Grandparents who were already awake. The smell of coffee made her mouth water as she quickly grabbed a cup and poured herself some.

"Rough night?" Grandpa asked with a smirk as she tired to fix her unruly hair that was a mess on top of her head.

"Too much to drink." She muttered as she hopped onto the counter next to her mother and leaned her head on her shoulder.

"Recovery gets harder and harder the older you get." Maggie laughed lightly running her fingers through her daughters pony tail.

Leonardo walked into the kitchen next, wearing a pair of black Adidas sweat pants and tight white under shirt. His hair was as equally a mess as Willow's was as she hopped off the counter and reached up into the cabinet for the tea she kept for him in there. She grabbed the old tea kettle as her Grandmother moved out of the way so she could fill it with water.

"What are you doing?" Grandma asked as Willow turned on the stove and heated the water.

"He doesn't drink coffee." She said motioning towards Leo as he leaned next to Paul at the kitchen table. He yawn and ran a hand over his face before shaking his head.

"Babe, I could have made it." He protested, but sighed seeing it was already done. "You move too fast."

"This coming from a ninja." She joked as he smirked and walked over to her pulling her body into his and nuzzling his face into the nape of her neck. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and released her from his grip. "You gonna go work out?" She asked in a pout turning and grasping his arms before he slipped away completely.

"Only for an hour." He smiled kissing the tip of her nose. "Thanks for the tea love." He said as she kissed him back on the lips.

"Welcome, I'll keep it warm for you. Donnie's going to want coffee." She chuckled as he nodded and started putting on his pair of running shoes he had at the back door that lead onto the porch.

"Where is he going to work out?" Grandma asked sipping her coffee as Leo smirked and nodded his head to Willow in a gesture of good-bye as he jogged down the porch steps.

"He runs around the block a time or two. Good way to get the juices flowin' so early in the morning', mah." Paul said, giving his daughter a wink before he rolled himself into the living room. Willow patted her father's shoulder in passing as she set Leo's hot water on low.

Paul made his way to the side of the pullout sofa bed and nudged Michelangelo's tanned shoulder once getting a small noise out of the mess of blonde hair. He chuckled lightly nudging him once more as Mikey sighed and tugged the pillow over his head.

"Man Leo, gimme like five more minuets."

"Not Leo, son." Paul said in a laugh as Mikey's head shot up. "Mornin' sunshine."

"Paul, hey man, uh, what's up?"

"Just followin' orders. Donnie needed you boys up before ten to take another dose." He said with a still bright smile on his face as Mikey sighed and nodded his head. "Are you sure this stuff isn't problematic for you boys? I don't want you pumpin' yourselves with all these chemicals just for appease our family." He whispered softly as Mikey smiled leaning up from the bed, rubbing his hands over his face a few times.

"Nah, Don said it was fine." He said in a yawn, stretching out his long limbs.

"Alright, I just wanna double check. The syringe is in the bathroom, bottom drawer under Maggie's hair dyer. Willow wanted it somewhere safe so Gran wouldn't suspect anyone doin' drugs. That's the last thing we need." Mikey nodded with another yawn as Paul moved aside for him to head up the stairs to the bathroom.

Jogging up the steps he pushed a hand through his long, messy hair in a repetitive manner, tying to smooth it back. Rounding the corner at the top of the stairs he pounded his fist on the guest room in passing, pausing for a moment he shook his head deciding not to stay and witness the wrath of early Raphael and continued onto the bathroom.

Raph groaned, rolling onto his back as the pounding on the wooden door stopped. The pounding in his head was still there and growing louder, forcing him to curl a hand around his forehead. He felt something warm against his stomach and a tickle of hair on his bicep as he opened his eyes and looked down at Felicia curled up against him. Her head resting on his shoulder, his arm securely wrapped around her little waist and her hand draped lazily over his abdomen.

He smiled to himself for a moment before yawning and feeling the return of the pounding in his head. He groaned once more, closing his eyes to the brightness of the room and tried to sit up. Felicia made a soft noise and clung tighter to his waist as he snorted to himself and moved his arm from around her. He tried to carefully remove himself from her grasp but, she just clung tighter.

"Fee." He whispered softly nudging her shoulder. She made another soft noise, nuzzling her head into the side of his neck as he moved his hand to the back of her head almost by reflex. He sighed to himself remembering all the mornings he had woken up in the same situation with a completely different girl clinging to his completely different, normal body. Shaking his head he pushed himself away from her and got off the bed, standing up and grabbing his jeans by the door.

He walked into the hall, closing the door shut softly behind him and making his way into the bathroom. Mikey pulled a tourniquet around his arm, tugging it tighter with his teeth as his blue eyes shot up to the door and Raph in the doorway.

"Jesus bro, knock much?" He asked with the plastic tube between his teeth as Raph closed the door behind him.

"You look like you do that a lot spaz-matic? You doin' drugs without us knowin'?" Raph asked with a smirk, crossing his arms over his broad chest as Mikey rolled his eyes and pressed the needle of green liquid into his vein.

"Not my fault I'm the only one payin' attention to Donnie when it comes to serious shit." Mikey grumbled between the tube, with a furrowed brow.

"Whoa, easy buddy. You havin' a with drawl or somethin'?" He chuckled as Mikey hissed to the liquid being pumped into him and dropped the tube from his teeth thrusting it at Raph.

"Dude, shut up." He sighed holding his finger over the small wound that let out a bubble of blood. "You know I hate needles." He nearly whimpered as Raph made a pout face and ran a hand around Mikey's already messed up hair.

"Aw, I know Mike, and what a tough boy you are for doin' it yaself." He said in a baby voice as Mikey shook his head and walked from the room.

"I'm gettin' Donnie."

Donnie turned over once more onto his back deciding it had to be at least somewhere near the morning. He looked towards the blacked out windows of Hayden's childhood room with the young man himself snoring away above him. Donnie rolled his eyes at how he 'called' top bunk. None of that matter anyways, Donnie couldn't get a wink of sleep last night. He was worried he'd forget to wake up. He was worried that he didn't pack enough of the formula and he was even more worried that Willow's family would suspect something was going on. This was all too risky, but they were in too deeply for it to make a different if he said anything. He loved Willow and her whole family, even her grandparents were starting to grow on him in their overbearing manners, however the possibility of his family being found out still weighing heavy on his conscience.

He heard a short tap on the door and turned his head across the clothing, soda can, CD cased littered room to his little brother's blonde unfamiliar head popping through. He sighed softly to himself realizing he was right about it being morning and he finally could let at least the worry of him over sleeping be erased from his mind.

"Dude, you up?" Mikey whispered softly as Donnie nodded in the darkness of the room and slid the covers from his body. He hopped and brushed his way through Hayden's mess to the door and out into the hall.

"You wake up Raph?" He asked, scratching his side under his shirt and sighing to himself as he pulled back a trace of something sticky. Wiping it off on his jeans Mikey chuckled and nodded.

"He's in there right now. You see Leo yet?"

"He was probably up already. He keeps a small one for himself in Willow's room." Donnie said through a yawn as he made his way towards the bathroom.

He knocked softly on the door and it opened soon after to Willow leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee in her hand and another, still steaming hot next to her. She smiled at Don, lifting the coffee to him as he let out another breath of relief.

"Thanks."

"No worries, you probably caught something sleepin' in Hay's room." She chuckled lightly, then her face dropped as she looked down into her dark brown colored brew. "Listen guys, I just want you to know that I am really appreciative about this. I mean, all this crap can't be good for you…" She held up a hand as Don opened his mouth to reassure her otherwise and cut him off. "I know, I know it's safe but still doesn't mean I'm not going to worry. I just want this to work out and I mean, I love you all so much and Leo and I wish this didn't have to be like this." She said motioning her hands around at all the tall, muscular, men around her as they all shrugged their shoulders, almost in unison. She smirked and shook her head. "Just promise you won't hate me after this is all done." She whispered softly as Don let out a soft sigh and Raph clicked his tongue in disapproval. Mikey didn't say anything, he just wrapped his long arms around her body, pressing her to his warm naked chest. She curled her hands around his shoulders and tugged him closer.

"We could never hate you Wills. You're like a sister to us." Mikey whispered as Donnie nodded placing a hand on the small of her back, rubbing smoothing circles. All those thoughts about being found out, the nervousness and constant worry of getting caught seemed less important somehow. Seeing Willow this upset about it their situation made him slowly realize that for her, and his older brother, the brother he would be best man to, was completely worth it. He smiled to himself, letting his hand fall away from Willow's back as she turned towards him with a force smile.

"You've gone through so much. We couldn't possible just ignore all of that and hold this one little thing against you. It was our choice to make for the sake of our brother and our new sister." Donnie said tucking a piece of a wild curl behind her ear. "We are safe and enjoying the time with your family, they're great." He smiled as Raph nodded, his mouth pressed in a thin line. Willow eyed him a moment longer before turning back towards Donnie.

"You should save that 'they're great' thing until after you meet the rest of 'em." She chuckled humorlessly. Donnie smiled and gave her shoulders a small hug.

"We're big boys, we can handle it." Raph said as Willow turned towards him once more and nodded.

"Come get coffee." She said as more of a demand than an invitation, still looking at only the second eldest. He pushed himself from his lean against the shower's edge and followed her out of the cramped room. "You're mad." She stated once the door was shut and Raph said nothing. "You have a right to be, I'm hiding who you are basically. I'd be disgusted with myself if I-"

"That's not- It's uh, somethin' different." He sighed out as Willow stopped on a step of the stairs and turned towards him.

"Different?" She asked back as he sighed and made his way down the stairs. She followed after him. He just nodded his head as they walked past the living room into the kitchen.

Felicia, Riley and Isabella were all sitting at the kitchen table with a large plate of muffins and bagels in front of them, each with a cup of coffee in hand. Willow smiled at the girls before walking over to the coffee pot and pouring the Raph some. He had his head turned towards the dark brunette at the table as Willow handed him his cup. It took him a moment to realize the repetitive poking in his side was Willow's chubby, long finger trying to get his attention.

"Thanks" he muttered as Willow smirked and followed his line of sight of at the table to the girl in glasses. Her hair was still a slight mess, long waves of chocolate cascading down her shoulders and back and her bright red glasses standing out against her peaches and cream complexion.

"You girls all sleep well last night?" Willow asked walking to the empty seat at the kitchen table.

"Not as well as you I assume." Riley stated sipping her black liquid as Willow's face blushed red.

"We were on our best behavior last night." She said simply as they heard someone's racing up the porch steps. Willow's body tensed as Raph eyed the screen door with squared shoulders for a moment then relaxed visibly so as Leonardo walked through it with a slight layer of sheen on his tanned, toned skin.

"What?" He asked his brother as Raph shook his head.

"How was your run Leo?" Izzy asked, letting her eyes linger against his now translucent shirt a little longer than Willow liked. She glared at her red headed friend as she just smirked and shrugged her shoulders.

"Fine." He stated simply eyeing Willow for a moment before going to her and placing a soft kiss on her cheek. "I'm going to go shower quickly before the guests arrive." He said softly against her cheek as she nodded and watched him walk out of sight.

"We should probably start getting ready too." Felicia said getting from her chair. She looked up at Raphael for a moment and then followed Leonardo's path up the stairs. He followed after her, using slow steps to keep behind her.

She turned into the guest room they used as their own the night before and clicked the door shut behind her softly. Sighing at the closed door, he entered the room without knocking and stopped dead in his tracks. Felicia's bare back was to him as her hair that was pulled up by her shirt slowly fell back over her cream like skin. She turned a look over her shoulder at him covering her chest with the shirt in her hands.

"Jesus, Raph." She breathed out. "You scared the shit outta me."

"Sorry. I thought you heard me behind ya." He said trying too hard, with everything he had not to smile. "Want some help?" He asked taking a step closer as she watched him for a moment and shook her head.

"I'm fine." Her tone changed, it was more dry with almost an icy undertone. He arched a dark brown brow at her before crossing his arms over his chest.

"You ok?"

"I don't know, you tell me." She snapped out tossing her night shirt on her duffle bag and rummaging through it quickly to find another. He watched her muscles contract under her skin with her angry movements and adjusted his footing, and averting his eyes down to the floor before he felt himself get too carried away. "I wake up and you're gone."

"I had somethin' to do, or did ya not remember…" He waved a hand up and down his body. "This ain't who I am."

"I know that." She said turned as she snapped her bra into place with a glare. "You could have woken me up or somethin'. I just-" She breathed in for a moment and let it out slowly. "What are we doing?" She asked as her voice softened.

"Fightin'." He said plainly as she smirked and shook her head.

"No, no. I mean us, this." She motioned at the space between them. "You kissed me last night."

"I wanted to." He shrugged.

"Ok, that was the only reason?"

"I was a little tipsy, so were you." He shrugged again.

"So, that's why you kissed me? You're blaming it on alcohol?"

"Well, what do ya want me to say?"

"The truth! I want the truth as to why you found it necessary to follow me in here after I said I was going to change, to sleep with me last night and to kiss me that same night Raphael! I wanna know why!"

"You didn't say you were gonna change I thought you were gonna take a shower or somethin'. Maybe I needed to change?"

"So, you're avoiding me?" She asked placing her hands on her bare hips, hanging beneath a pair of baggy light pink sweat pants. She looked down at her barely covered up torso and rolled her eyes. Turning back to her bag she waited for his answer.

"I'm not avoidin' ya. I'm just-"

"Using me." She cut him off as he glared at her back now.

"No! Do I look like someone that uses anyone? I'm the one that gets used." He barked back as she turned towards him tugging a white shirt over her head.

"Is that what this is 'bout?" She asked her voice going soft again. "Meredith?"

"No, it has nothin' to do with her." He said avoiding her gaze as she took a step closer.

"I'm definitely not her."

"I never said you were." He said turning his glare back at her, finding her close enough to touch.

She looked up at him for a moment, his eyes still in a hard glare, his eyebrows furrowed and his usually full lips pulled into a tight, thin line. She let her eyes wonder down his day old beard across his cheeks, and some stubble on his strong neck. She found his hands tightly clenching into his forearms over his chest and placed her small ones over them. Looking back up into his eyes she let a small smile grace her face waiting to see one flicker on his. When one didn't come she sighed, looking back down at their hands.

"Raph, I don't know what this is, and I'm not going to pretend its anything if you don't want it. But, I'm just, I'm tired of tiptoeing around it. I like you." Her eyes met his again as his face softly relaxed. "I like you a lot and when we get back home I want to spend time with you."

A soft knock came at the door as Mikey ducked his head wet blonde head inside. He looked around the room for a moment, pushing the door opened fully as he smiled seeing the two of them in the middle of the room, Felicia's hands on Raph's and his posture slightly relaxing towards her. Mikey leaned against the door frame with a smile.

"What?" Raph asked gruffly without looking towards his little brother.

"One of the showers is free." He shrugged as Felicia tore her eyes away from Raph's and smiled at the youngest.

"Thanks Mike." She said walking back towards her bag to get her toiletries she quickly ducked past Mikey with a small smile and out the door.

"What was that about?" Mikey asked as Raph sighed and let his head fall.

"None of ya business numb nuts. Get outta my way."

"You gonna shower with her?" Mikey asked wiggling his eyebrows as Raph rolled his eyes and shoved past his little brother pushing him into the door frame.

"I'm gonna use Willow's."

"I think her and Leo are still up there?" Mikey stated as more like a question, with a look of disgust as Raph sighed and shook his head.

"I'll go hose off in the back then." He said sarcastically as Mikey chuckled.

"Like the good ol' mule you are bro." He laughed patting his brother's larger shoulder as he made his way towards Hayden's old room.

Willow pressed her ear against her bathroom door that she had shared with her brother Tyler growing up. The water was still running and she could feel the steam seeping out from under the door. She smirked, opening the door and closing it with a soft click.

His clothes, as usual were in a neat pile on the vanity. A small green bag lay next to it with his tooth brush and shaving cream she had bought for him a couple weeks ago, even though she told him she liked his growing stubble.

"Willow?" His voice asked as she smirked shaking her head.

"Yes."

"What are you doing?" He slid the curtain away to reveal only his head dripping with water that graced down his muscular shoulders and forearms. She bit her lip watching the water droplets glide over his tanned skin. "Willow?"

"What?" She asked back, her eyes snapping up to his as a slow smile of realization crossed his features.

"I'm almost done." He said, trying to bite back a larger grin.

"Are you?" She said lifting her shirt over her head and letting it drop to the floor as she slid down her sweat pants. "Mind if I join you?" She asked slipping her thumbs into the waist band of her panties.

"Depends." He said with a smirk.

"On…." She dragged out as her hands rolled the strings of her panties around her hips.

"They're coming in a few hours." He said trying to avert his eyes on her naked torso, looking directly at her face. She pushed her panties down to the floor and walked to him, kissing his lips softly as she tugged the shower curtain aside.

"Exactly why we should conserve water." She smirked as he sighed and stepped out of the way for her to stand under the showerhead. She tilted her head back, exposing her beautiful next to him as he watched the stream of water slowly cascade down her chest, stomach, between her thick thighs and to the shower floor rolling downwards to the drain. He sighed clenching his eyes shut as he heard a soft giggle escape her lips.

"What?" He asked focusing his attention on just her face as she reached towards him for her shampoo.

"You said you were almost done. What did you do yet?" She asked eyeing the bar of soap he had forgotten about in his hand. He looked down at it and shrugged. She rinsed the shampoo from her long hair and held her hand out in front of her. He arched a brow and placed the soap in her palm as she twirled her finger in a circle, motioning him to turn around.

He shook his head taking the bar from her and moving her aside so he could use the showerhead. She brushed past his body slowly, letting her backside grace his lower abdomen as he squeezed the bar of soap tighter, leaving indents of his fingers.

"You're killing me." He said through gritted teeth as she chuckled running conditioner through her hair. He quickly ran soap over his body and rinsed off hoping out of the shower as Willow moved under the hot water, letting her head go under it as she laughed.

"You sure you don't wanna stand under some cold water for a few minutes tiger?" She chuckled as he sighed running a towel over his body.

"You're evil." He called back as she laughed harder. She opened the shower door and swatted his backside, covered in a towel hard enough to make a smack.

"And you're sexy." She smirked before shutting the curtain again.

"Just wait till we get back to New York." He grumbled leaving the bathroom and walking into Willow's bedroom.

"Willow, hurry up." Raphael complained on the other side of the bathroom door as she scrunched her wet hair into curls around her face. She rolled her eyes with an exasperated sigh.

"You're worse than Riley." She grumbled, opening the door and walking out.

"Finally." He said shoving past her, kicking the door shut with his foot and locking it. She looked after him as Leo finished buttoning up a clean charcoal gray shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbow. His slacks were black and his shirt tucked in with a black belt.

"Hello handsome." She smirked going over to him and smoothing out the crease on his chest from him lifting up his arm. She buttoned the first few buttons of his dress shirt, leaving his tanned, toned neck and collar bone exposed. He smiled down at her, softly kissing her lips with a light nip.

"Hello beautiful." He greeted back brushing a curl from her eyes. He hand his hand down her shoulder covered in a light cerulean blue cardigan sweater. Her black sundress, that tied around her neck and stopped inches below her knee puffed out from the small amount of tool and taffeta stuffed in the seams. Her black painted toes wiggled a little inside her pep-toe matching blue heeled shoes. She smiled, pressing her toes forward a little out of habit to reach Leo's lips in another soft kiss.

"You two are disgusting." Mikey said leaning against Willow's old bedroom doorway. He dressed in a light, almost power blue button up shirt, following his older brother's example and rolling his sleeves up his tan forearms to the elbow. His jeans were a dark wash with a few man-made scruffs and tears at the knee and sides. Leo chuckled as Willow rolled her eyes over to Mikey's. "They're arriving." He said with a coy smile.

"Ready?" She asked turning back towards Leo as he let out a soft breath of air.

"As I'll ever be I suppose."

"Why you so dressed up?" Mikey asked as Leo and Willow walked from her room. Willow smiled, her arm still slipped around Leo's bicep and turned to regard the younger brother.

"He wanted to make a good impression. I think he looks nice." She shrugged.

"You look nice." Leo said whispering softly in her ear as she giggled and Mikey gagged behind them. "Mature Mike." Leo said as they descended down the stairs.

The sounds of people's voices got louder as they rounded the corner to the living room. Kids were sitting on the couch, looking bored out of their minds already as Willow waved at them.

"Hey Will." A little boy with dark curly hair grumbled as she chuckled.

"My cousin Tony." She whispered to Leo as he nodded. "He just turned thirteen and couldn't be bothered with family affairs. Their all like that at that age." She chuckled as they walked into the kitchen.

"There they are!" A loud, booming voice announced as Leo and Willow walked through the kitchen's doorway. Leo cringed slightly as his eyes scanned the packed room. He made out Riley and Izzy with large knowing smiles and Felicia next to them, offering a similar grimace in almost apology.

"Hi everyone." Willow said, clearing her voice as she stepped aside to let Mikey in. He ducked past a few people, grabbing a beer from the counter and sliding in next to Riley. She turned towards him with a growing smile, letting her hand glide over his torso.

"You look nice." She whispered softly as he smiled and nodded.

"You too."

"This is my fiancé, Leonardo." Willow said, loudening her voice as Willow turned towards Leo and tugged him to her side, walking more into the kitchen.

"Nice to meet you honey." A short woman with big, blond hair said with a crimson smile on her lips. She looked towards Willow, giving her a wink and she laughed.

"Aunt Susan." Willow whispered, tilting her head to Leo's ear as he bent closer to her hear as they passed the shorter woman, moving to the next. "Uncle Tommy." She said louder, giving the large man, standing a near head taller than Willow a hug. His large arms engulfed her tiny body in them, nearly crushing her to his broad chest.

"So this is the guy that's stealin' my little Bunny away?" He asked as Willow's face blushed bright red and swatted at the man's chest.

"Yes, but he would never steal me, I go willingly." She said giving Leo a wink as he smirked and extended his hand to Tommy.

"It's good to finally meet the large family Willow has went on and on about."

"We're a rowdy bunch, that's for sure." Tommy smiled taking Leo's hand and shaking it. "Good grip." He commented as Leo smiled putting his hand back to his side. He clenched and unclenched his fist a few times, trying to get the feeling back in it. Tommy turned to Willow with a smirk and looked over his shoulder at the crowd. "Ally!" He called, his voice booming over the others talked as a petite woman with black hair, graying on the sides excused herself from a conversation with another younger couple, almost the same looking age as Willow and walked towards them. "This is my wife, Ally." He said putting his large arm around her tiny shoulders. She smiled extending her hand to Leo as he did the same.

"You're a handsome thing." She commented with a slight southern accent. "Where did ya'll sweep this one up?" She asked Willow as she laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh ya know, just the sewers of New York." Willow said looking towards Leo as he forced a smile and gave her a warning look. Tommy's loud laugh echoed through the room grasping almost everyone's attention.

"Ya know where she gets her humor from don'tcha?" Maggie called over the crowd. She smiled pointing her fingers to herself as everyone joined in the laugh. "So, now that we're all pretty much acquainted, gentlemen, why don't you fire up the grill and us woman will get to the real cookin'."

"Sounds good baby." Paul said rolling through the crowd and out onto the back porch as Donnie held the door for him.

Raphael came into the kitchen and frowned a little, hearing the commotion from upstairs he had missed slowly dissipating. People made their way outside to the porch and on the lawn, some staying in the kitchen lingering around the happy couple. He walked to Leo, giving him a pat on the shoulder in passing, and stopped as he noticed a man about the same size as himself making his way past the few people left in the kitchen.

"Hey Raph." Willow smiled, looking past Leo up at him. He nodded once, keeping his eyes on the couple ahead as Willow rolled them back in front of her.

"So, you're Leo huh?" The young man with a shaved head asked as the young woman next to him elbowed his stomach. "I just wanna make sure." He whispered down at her as she rolled her eyes.

"Ignore him." She said waving her hand towards Leo. He smiled and looked towards the man, the same height as him and extended his hand.

"I am Leo, nice to meet you…"

"Chris." He said grasping Leo's hand tightly and shaking it once. "You take care of her." He said pointing towards Willow as she rolled her eyes and swatted Chris's hand away. Chris and his girlfriend walked towards the porch as Willow waved Donnie over to them with a smile.

"And that was?" Leo asked rubbing his hand from yet another handshake that was threatening to break all his bones. Willow smiled and grasped Leo's hand lightly, rubbing smoothing circles on the back of it.

"One of Tyler's friends. They've known each other since like grade school. Over protective, because I need another over protective man in my life." She sighed sarcastically looking up at him then to Raph.

"Can never have enough protective." Leo smirked as she rolled her eyes. Donnie came over to them, handing Leo a beer and Willow a glass of red wine. Mikey came back through the doors from outside and shook his head.

"Whoa dude, that was somethin' else." He said as Willow shrugged.

"I tired to warn you."

"I missed all the fun." Raph groaned as Mikey chuckled.

"Oh believe me, this wasn't even the tip of the ice burg." Willow groaned, giving Leo a quick kiss on the cheek and making her way outside, leaving the four brothers in the kitchen.

"So gentlemen," Donnie stated, eyeing his brothers and then back towards the screen door. "we can either hide out in here and wait for the worse to pas over or face it head on." He said with humor in his tone.

"We've never been ones for hiding." Leo stated, his brows furrowed in concentration, the way he looked as he was about to unleash his katana and run forward into battle.

"We've never had to really face somethin' like this before." Mikey's voice was almost meek as he cracked his knuckles at his sides.

"We do pretty much everythin' for family." Raph said crossing his arms over his chest. Leo looked over at him and gave a small smile and nod of his head as Raph mimicked it back.

"That's one hellva family." Mikey breathed out as Donnie chuckled.

"That's what liquor is for." Raph shrugged as Leo snorted in a laugh.

"Stay close, and be mindful of your surroundings." Leo said with a smile as his brother's nodded. "This is nothing we can't handle, together." Leo took a long swig of his beer and a deep breath. "Come on." He said, squaring his shoulders and walking towards the door.

"I thought maybe for once he'd let one of us go first." Mikey grumbled as Raph rolled his eyes and shoved his little brother forward by the back of his neck.

"Just go numb nuts." He said walking ahead as Donnie chuckled coming up behind them.
