Over the next few weeks, Leo and Don were still real awkward towards each other. I spent equal times with them each day, and Leo of course didn't push training on me.
I showed him the swelling to make sure he believed I was pregnant. But I didn't want anyone touching my belly. I guess I could call it a little too personal feeling about it.
I was just trying to get used to being around Leo again as a new person. But he was still a bit awkward around me too. I didn't blame him.
But eventually, I had to do something about it to finally show I did love him again. I lovingly seduced him in his room when he tried to meditate and made love with him again. It brought him back around to me to show I did really still love him.
Don knew that I was still in love with Leo and he felt guilty for leading me astray from my relationship with him, but we all knew what had happened to have it change like this.
Leo tried hard to forgive Don. And he knew it was his own fault for what happened. Reluctantly, Leo began to accept what had happened and it was meant to be.
I was in love with two of the turtle brothers and I couldn't stop myself. They were both great ninjas and sweethearts. I even told Leo, if he was willing to, after I had this baby, that I would be willing to have a baby from him too, when Don's baby was a little older.
Leo said that he was very open to having a baby with me. He just didn't want to feel used again.
I wasn't going to do that again, and he just had to accept me being with Don too.
It was hard for him, but he agreed to it. And Don likewise.
….
As time went on, the more I spent time with each of them, the more I just wanted to be with them, and maybe even add something more onto our lives together. Marriage was coming to my mind more and more. I'm sure that Leo and Don would love to marry me.
But the bigger question would be, who would be willing to marry us? It would have to be someone very special.
….
Later, when I was about 7 months along, I could feel the baby moving about this evening. I wanted to do something special and different to how most mothers let the fathers feel a baby move. I know I didn't want anyone touching my belly with their hands, but I had a new thought in mind.
I knew Donny felt hurt that I wouldn't let him feel his own child move inside me, but every month he examined me, and for me, that had been enough. This part was just one part of why I had been wary of being pregnant. The girl gets all the attention, and I just wasn't all this comfortable with this kind of attention.
I went to find Donny, and as always, when not on patrol or training, or at the junkyard, he could be found in his lab. He was doing research some more on pregnancy symptoms and happenings. He was still very nervous about becoming a father.
During all these long months, Don had been a doting father-to-be. He got busy at times, but never snapped at me. He was there for me whenever I needed him, and also gave me my space when I wanted it.
I knocked and entered his lab. "Donny?" I said.
Don turned around. "Oh, hey (me.)" He said. "What's up?"
"Don, I have a surprise for you."
He raised an eye ridge. "Really? You didn't have to."
"Oh, but you will want this one. Come here." I said with a smile. It was more than just a happy smile though; it was a gleaming one that only a mom-to-be can show off proudly.
Donny got up from his chair and he thought he was going to be led out of the lab or something, but I didn't make a move to lead him out.
"Come here." I said, and reached for one of his hands.
Don gave me a hand and I pulled him forward towards me, but when he got too close to my front, he froze up.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't want to get that close to squish the baby." He said.
"You won't hurt it. Just come forward to me carefully." I advised.
Don came forward again, and his plastron began to touch me. I had my stomach lined up with his. I leaned in to hug him. "Just stay in this position, Donny." I said. "The surprise is coming."
Don felt a little nervous, but he let me put my arms around his neck. He put his around my back. We were in a hugging position, but he wasn't going to put pressure on my swelling.
I then felt a big bump inside me and even Don jumped when he felt something too.
"Did you feel something?" I asked.
Don pulled away a little. "Yeah. What was that?"
I then smiled and giggled. "You just felt your child move, Donny!"
Don's eyes widened. "What? You let me feel it?"
"Yes. I wanted you to finally feel it move, but just in a different kind of way." I said. "So, you felt the bump on your stomach too?"
"Yes. It felt strange. I've never felt something like that before." Don said.
"Usually, fathers only get to feel the baby move with their hands, but I wanted you to feel a little bit on your stomach too, since I get to feel it all the time, though from the inside. It was very active tonight after dinner." I said, "So I thought it would be a good chance for you to finally feel it."
"So, will you start letting me feel it now?" Don asked. "I know you feel personal about having your stomach touched, but when the baby's in there, it's harder to ignore."
"Yes. I just wanted your first touch of it to be with your belly instead of your hands."
"Well, it was a very big surprise indeed." Don said, and leaning away from my belly, he kissed me.
I knew he had loved his surprise.
Review please.
I wanted to try something different with having a father feel his child move, since daddies can't have the joyous experience with feeling a baby inside them.
