A week had gone by and Digital had her own bed, but the poor girl had nightmares so frequently that it was scary. Mikey could sometimes help her on the account on getting nightmares fairly easily. He could coach her through breathing and calming her down.

She often stayed around the lab and watched as Donnie made different chemicals and she loved to watch their chemical changes and physical changes. Donnie even showed her how to make a doll.

So there she sat, in the middle of the lab playing with a doll while watching Donnie mix random chemicals. She watched as two chemicals made a foamy white substance at the top. She then looked at Donnie.

"Donnie, what's a daddy?"

The question was so innocent Donnie almost teared up. "A daddy is a boy who takes care of a child and loves them very much." He answered simply. No need to go into details at such a young age. She smiled and gave Donnie a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, daddy. You so smat." She said as she went back to playing with her doll. Don looked at her in shock.

"Kid, I'm not your-" He carefully thought about what he was about to say and smiled. "Oh what the shell?"

Now Donnie was standing in the doorway of the dojo watching as an eight year old Digital practiced katas. She moved with such grace it was hard to believe that she had only been training for two years. "Daddy!" Donnie snapped out of his daze and gave his attention to his daughter who had blood coming from her mouth. Donnie ran over to her and knealt to her height.

"Can you open for me, Digi?" He asked gently. Digital slowly and painfully opened her mouth and, Donnie found that one of her adult teeth was missing. He didn't have to look far to find it lying on the floor of the dojo. "Aw, Digi, you lost an adult tooth."

She teared up a bit. "Will it grow back?" Donnie shook his head. "Can you put it back?" Donnie shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Digital." Suddenly Digital smiled.

"It's ok, daddy. Now I look like you!" She proclaimed happily. Donnie gave her a confused look before he remembered about his gap tooth and he couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, you do, Digi. You look like me." She giggled with delight. She had always adored her father's gap tooth even though he was often teased because of it.

Once Casey and Donnie had been in a heated arguement about April and who was better for her. Digital hated it when Donnie and Casey fought over her. She found if pitiful. But then Casey said one comment that had set her off.

"She wouldn't want to date a gap toothed, turtle freak!"

Digital had felt her blood boil at the statement and she threw her toy car at Casey's head. He whirled around as his head screamed in pain. He saw Digital behind him with her arms crossed in anger.

"Don't say that to my daddy!" She yelled at him, and Donnie had smiled. Donnie had walked over to Digital and picked her up and placed her against his chest in a firm hug.

"Can't insult me anymore, Jones. I've got a body guard." Of course later on she had to be punished since that kind of behavior wasn't to be tolerated, but Donnie thanked her for the thought.

"I'd do it over again for you, daddy."

Now Digital had her arms wrapped gently around her dad's neck in a hug. She wanted to be exactly like her dad.

She was smart like him too. He taught her as if she were in school and the two would do trivia for fun. How else would she know that the longest word in existence is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis? She loved it when her father taught her science and she loved writing. She wrote stories about her old family and compared them to her new one.

Not one day went by that she didn't think about her big brother.

She sighed at the thought as she let go of her father. Donnie sensed something was wrong, so he decided to ask. "Is something wrong, Digi?"

Digital sighed. "Do you know anything about my brother besides the fact that he was sixteen when he passed?"

Donnie sucked in a breath and sat on the dojo floor slowly pulling Digital into his lap. "I don't know much.
You used to talk about him a lot when you were younger though."

Digital played with the ends of her long black hair. It was a nervous habit she had picked up. "I know, but I can't remember much of him anymore." She snuggled into her father's chest, and another question popped into her head. But she didn't think she should ask it.

She did anyways.

"Why didn't you try to save my brother?" Donnie's breathing hitched. Why hadn't he tried to save her brother?

"I don't know, Digi. I was a fifteen year old boy who hadn't much experience with guns. If I had tried,
perhaps, I may be dead along with your brother and you." He hugged his daughter close. "But now I am a twenty-one year old man and I won't let anyone or anything hurt my amazing, and beautiful eight year old daughter."

Digital smiled. It was never easy to talk about her brother. "Thanks, daddy." Digital released herself from her father's grip and walked into the living room where Leo was watching Space Heroes. They may be twenty-one year old men, but they still acted like teenagers.

Digital ran over to the couch where she placed her hands on the back of it and flipped herself over onto the couch. Leo smiled at his enthusiastic niece.

"I see you've been practicing in the dojo, Digital."

She smiled as she stood from the couch and stood in a ninja pose. "I could train and fight all day!" Leo laughed lightly at his niece. She had all of their traits.

She had Donnie's brains, Leo's nerdiness and love of fighting, Raph's passion for his family, and Mikey's innocence and fun loving personality.

"You sound like me when I was your age." Digital smiled widely revealing her new gap tooth. Leo looked with confusion. "What happened to your tooth?"

Digital's enthusiasm stayed strong. "I accidentaly hit myself with my wooden sword while trying to perfect a kata and my adult tooth came out. Now I look like daddy!" '

Leo had to smile at his niece's enthusiasm for such a little thing. "You sure do, Digi. I could hardly tell the difference when you walked out of the dojo."

Digital laughed hard. "But I don't have green skin or a shell! And I have a hair!" Leo smiled and threw his niece in the air and caught her in his arms.

"I know. I was just messing with you, kid!" Out of the corner of Leo's eye he saw a footbot and held his niece in one arm. He stood silently and so did Digital, knowing there was an intruder. Leo unsheathed his katana and sliced the footbot in the blink of an eye, and he sighed with a content feeling.

'Hopefully there wasn't anymore.'

A mutant dog and a mutant fish kneeled before their master. When Shredder nodded in approval they looked up to him, not leaving their knealing position.

"Master Shredder, the footbot that we sent to the turtles' lair sent footage before it was sliced by Leonardo. There was something we could use to our advantage." Razar said.

Shredder's eyes hardened in anticipation. "Well, what is it? Speak up!"

"A child, no older than eight. Donatello has a daughter. She goes by the name of Digital. Her dog tags beared her name as Digital Shy Harmony. The turtles have a certain soft spot for her." Fish Face said.

Shredder looked at them in confusion, but anger remained in his eyes. "That is not possible! The turtles have no sorts of love interests! Donatello cannot be a father!"

"She is adopted, Master Shredder. She is a human as we once were. As you are. If we can get her we can use her to our advantage. The turtles will do whatever you desire, Master."

Shredder looked at his pupils. "This could work to our advantage. We shall wait until the child is of ten years of age. And when that day comes we will stop at nothing to retreve the girl. Understand?"

The two pupils looked at each other with evil grins, barely able to contain their excitement for the day they can catch the girl.

"Yes, Master."
