Chapter 5
The next morning, Leo was the first to get up. He did his usual rounds; check on his brothers, and now sister too, made some tea for him and Splinter, the only thing he can cook, then medicate. Then Donnie got up and made himself a cup of coffee. He saw Leo in the dojo and he decided to check up on Mikey and Amaya. Mikey was sleeping with his teddy bear that he had since he was like three and a smile a mile wide, while Amaya slept with her back to him.
Donnie walked over to her, to see if she was asleep. She was but there were tears rolling down her cheeks. Donnie was heart broken. To see his new little sister crying was just heart brokering.
He gently shook her shoulder and it took a few minutes to wake her. She looked up at him with her saddened eyes. Their were red and puffy from her tears. "Have you been crying all night?" He started. Amaya shook her head no. "Did you have a nightmare about..." Donnie didn't want to say it. It was just too painful for her to hear. But Amaya knew what he was going to say and she nodded a little.
Donnie hugged her and Raph walked by. Noticing them hugging, he ask what was up. Donnie told Raph and his face harden a little. He wanted to kick the Krrang where the sun don't shine. But one look at her worried eyes and he calmed down. "Well your not with these creeps anymore, so don't sweat it. Look at the bright side, it's tomorrow which meets that your bruised tail bone should be fine now." Raph said slyly. He turned to the door and put his hands on the back of his neck and looked over his shoulder a little to say, "oh and Mikey hasn't woken up yet, you could put a bucket on his door. If ya want." Raph left and Amaya started to smile a bit.
Amaya got off the bed. Her legs were still a bit wobbly, and she couldn't really run. But she could stood long enough to put the bucket of ice water above Mikey's door, along with Raph's help. Once the bucket was in place she wobbled over to kitchen to get some breakfast.
She cooked up some omelettes for her new family and as she was finishing up the guys started to file in. Raph and Leo were the first to sit down, then Donnie came in, with a girlish scream soon followed by a wet orange banded turtle. They all laughter about it, even Mikey. It looks like this family just got a little bit brighter.
