Family Ties
a/n: I kinda left you on a cliff hanger there. I had to though, I always had the intention of stopping the story there. Something interesting is going to happen in this chapter, but out of pure bitchy-ness I am not going to tell you what that thing is. The word for this chapter is evil. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 3
"Raphael, have you apologised to your sister yet?" Splinter asked as his hot headed son came back into the room.
"No sensei, but she wouldn't open her door so I am going to let her calm down before I speak to her again." Raph answered before sitting down beside Donnie.
"Is Sam alright Raph?" He asked his older brother. Raph only nodded slightly not actually sure if she was or not.
Sam wasn't alright, in fact she was in the underworld being manipulated by a demoness who wanted to kill her mother and her sisters and steal their powers. The demoness called Prada had sat the young turtle on a chair. "You have no idea how glad I am that I found you." Prada told her.
"How come, I've never seen you before in my life." Sam commented.
"I had to find someone very powerful to help me with my problem." Said Prada. "You see I am having trouble with certain witches and I need someone with great strength and power to help defeat them." She put a hand on the yellow turtle and used demonic mind control on her to bend Samie to her will.
"I will do as you ask me to. What do I have to do?" Samie said now under Prada's influence. Prada gave the teenager powers.
"I need you to go home and lay low until I get there then we will attack together." Prada said. Samie stood up and shimmered out and appeared in her bedroom.
Outside Samie's bedroom. "Samantha open this door right now young lady." Prue yelled banging on the metal door. "Samie please open the door. Raphael is sorry about what he said he even wants to apologise." Prue said. "If you don't open this door then I will open it for you." Prue was just about to use her telekinesis to open the door when it opened.
"What do you mean he wants to apologise to me?" Sam asked knowing Raphael well enough to know that he wasn't good at apologising properly.
"Come on Princess." Prue said and led the teenager into the main living space.
Sam sat down on the built in sofa. "Hey guys what are we watching?" She asked trying to sound normal. A news bulletin appeared on the screen.
"It's Joan Grody." Mikey answered. "Why were you so upset with Raph?" He asked her.
"He shouldn't have said what he said to me Mikey, it wasn't fair and it was uncalled for." Sam responded to her younger brother picking up a cushion and holding it to her chest.
"Hey Samie, can we talk to you for a moment?" Paige asked her sitting down on the sofa beside her niece.
"Michelangelo skedaddle." Prue warned her son and watched as he ran into the lab to annoy Donnie for a while.
"What is it you guys want to talk about?" Sam asked half wanting to kill them for being good witches and half wanting to run away to avoid the conversation.
"Honey, when I was younger I promised myself that when my little girl was having her first baby then I would have a special day where I would take her out and prepare her for what is going to happen."
"And you cannot take me out unless I'm wearing a disguise and you have never given birth to a child so you have no idea what my body is going through."
"That is why I enlisted my three wonderful sisters who have all have children to take you out in disguise to talk things over." Prue stroked her daughter's hair. "I even talked your father out of following you around so you can have some privacy. Go and put on a disguise." Prue told her daughter. Sam might have been put under demonic mind control and given demonic powers but she was still excited at the prospect of leaving the lair during the day. Without being on an important mission of some kind.
They left walking to the nearest grate, which Sam knew to be placed in an alleyway. She put her finger to her lips as she stepped out and onto the path. Looking almost normal in jeans and a thick Yankees hoodie. " I would have never of thought that Prue would willingly live in a sewer." Phoebe said as she closed over the grate.
"Careful Aunt Phoebe those are heavy." Sam said. "And we know that mom gave up a lot for us, we appreciate it. She really loves Master Splinter."
"Why is he called that?" Paige asked.
"It was a nickname he got in the navy, before he moved to America. It stuck even after he was mutated." Sam answered. Her brown eyes shone with betrayal at the thought of who had given her father his nickname.
A few hours later they were sitting at a cafe laughing about things that they had done when they were younger. "Mom really stole your grandmother's car, crashed it and then blamed it on you." Samie laughed. Her stomach retched again. "I think I'm gonna be sick." She said and ran round the corner to the nearest dumpster. Piper followed her and took off the baseball cap she was wearing.
"Don't worry honey, I promise it's normal." Piper soothed the teen rubbing circles on her shell.
"I'm not worried about morning sickness." Sam admitted as she brought her head out of the dumpster. "I'm worried about this." Sam turned to her aunt and produced a fireball. Instead of launching it at her, Sam flung it at the dumpster. "She's going to kill me now." Sam said. Her emotions had been conflicting all day and she sighed out in relief. Piper put the hat back on her.
Piper panicked a little and dragged the turtle away from the flaming pile of rubbish and plastic. "FIRE! Over there in that dumpster!" She yelled pointing towards it. People were suddenly looking to where they had been two minutes before. "Let's get you back to the lair before someone sees you." She said and they left the scene.
Back at the lair Prue came out of the kitchen chasing Mikey and Raph with a wooden spoon for roughhousing with a colander and a pizza slice. "Why do I get the feeling that something happened?" She asked seeing the four girls return.
"Because something happened." Phoebe answered. "Your daughter set a dumpster alight with a fireball."
"She what?" Prue yelled. "YOU WHAT?" she yelled even louder at her daughter. "Yoshi, we have a massive problem here!" Splinter appeared out of nowhere making Wyatt and Chris jump out of their skins. Even the others came out of the lab to see what the yelling was all about.
"What is going on?" The ninja master asked his girlfriend.
"Sam has demonic powers."
"I shouldn't have warned you, now she will probably want to kill me."
"Who is she my child?" Splinter asked. "Hime you have to tell us so that your mother and her sisters can help you."
"She said her name is Prada."
"Don't worry little sister, we aren't going to let her anywhere near you." Raph said putting his fist into his hand.
"Raphael, let your mother handle this." Splinter warned his son, getting a 'hai sensei' in return.
"Paige orb home and get the book of shadows." Prue ordered. "I have a feeling I know exactly who this demoness is." Paige, knowing her sister well enough not to disobey her orbed out and was back again in less than ten seconds.
"Wow orbing is a faster way to travel." Lucianna said. Splinter shot her a warning glance. "What it is." She responded.
After a few minutes of flipping the pages Prue stopped. "I knew it. That bitch is going to pay for trying to turn you evil." Prue threatened and she meant every word of it. Unfortunately Melinda heard her.
"Bitch will pay." She said.
"Melinda don't say that word." Piper said stopping herself from laughing at how funny it was hearing her daughter saying that.
It was at that precise moment when Prada shimmered in. "Now my little pawn, we attack." She ordered. Sam stood up and faced her family before turning to the demoness and smirking a little.
"I don't think so." The teenager ignited a fireball and threw it at her. It hit but wasn't strong enough to kill her.
"Was that supposed to hurt me. The little baby cannot control her powers. Maybe she is just a hatchling." Sam growled at this comment. While Prada was distracted Prue astral projected into the kitchen and got a potion out of the cupboard before letting her astral form run into the room to hit the demoness with it in time to return to her body and watch as she was injured by it.
The demoness grabbed Samie and pulled her toward her. "If I have to go down then the two of them go down with me." Prada said as she tightened her grip on Samie.
"Let me go."
"No it's your fault that I am in this situation." Prada told the turtle. Prue watched her daughter silently beg for her help.
"You are going to let go of her or it will be the last thing you ever do." Prue threatened raising her hand to the demoness.
"No mom you will risk hurting Sam." Luci said trying to stop her mother.
"Then at least she will be away from the demon." Prue told her daughter. Samie didn't care as long as her family was safe.
Prue did it, she used her telekinesis to and fling Prada to the other side of the lair. Only problem was because Prada was making physical contact with Samie she was flung to the other side of the room too. And landed hard on the practice dummy (that was in their main living space) in pain and probably not even aware of it as she was also unconscious as she lay on the floor in a heap. Raph seen this and got really mad, he decided that he should use that anger to fight the demoness that attacked them and rushed her with his sai drawn as she was standing up. He stabbed her in the abdomen and watched as her horrible green blood oozed out of her body. She shimmered out to find a healer.
They celebrated the minor victory. "Guys Sam was hurt." Donnie said as he remembered her hitting the practice dummy. Everyone rushed over to where she was lying. "Raph help me get her in the infirmary." Prue immediately felt guilty for hurting her.
"I'm so sorry princess." She said as Raph and Donnie picked her up.
Donnie instructed Raph to put her on a table top as he connected her to heart monitors and anything else to show that their sister was stable. "I have to assess the injuries." He said trying to keep his emotions under wraps. Raph nodded and left the infirmary area, which was really a section of the lab they used to treat each other if anyone got sick. He noticed a crack on her lower plastron and set up an ultrasound. He seen that there was evidence of trauma and went into autopilot to try and save the baby.
Outside the adults decided to get on with it. "We need to find that bitch and get revenge for her making me hurt Sam." Prue said angry and guilty that her daughter was hurt.
"Mom, Samie would never blame you for this she knew that you had to get her away from the demon." Mikey said. "I seen it in her eyes." Prue kissed her forehead as he snuggled into her for strength and comfort.
"Thanks Mikey." Prue answered. "So how do we find her?" She asked.
"There is plenty of her blood on Raphael's weapons." Phoebe answered. "We just need a crystal and a map of New York."
"Leonardo go and get the map of the city and I will go and get my crystal from my bedroom." Prue stood up and went to get the crystal.
They made the potion that would vanquish Prada and scryed for her location. Paige orbed the sisters to her. They found that she was still suffering because of what Raphael had done. 'Good' thought Prue.
"I didn't think that you would have come to see me here." Prada said. Prue glared at her.
"You are the reason why my little girl is hurt." Prue said.
"It was you who flung her to the other side of the room." Prada answered.
"I wouldn't have had to if it wasn't for you." Prue said still glaring at the demoness. "Paige give me the potion. I want to be the one to vanquish her." Paige done as she was told knowing that Prue was pissed and would probably have taken it by force anyway. Prue launched the potion and it hit Prada where Raphael had hit her earlier.
"Burn in hell bitch." Prue stated as she watched the flames engulf the demoness as she disappeared. Paige orbed them back out.
After a few hours of him working he came out of the lab. "Guys Sam's stable, you can come in and see her." He said. Prue noticed how his eyes were filled with tears but didn't comment on it as she went to see how her daughter was doing. Sam looked small as she rested in the lab on a cot that they usually saved for when one of them was too tired to go to their rooms with her lower plastron completely covered with bandages.
"Hime, you are going to be alright." Splinter said as he held her hand.
"Sam, I am so sorry baby. I love you." Prue said holding her other hand somewhat more gently as it was also covered in bandages.
Prue never left Sam's side the entire time that she was unconscious. It was three days later when Sam opened her eyes and seen her mother there.
"Mommy." She said weakly. "Mommy it hurts." Sam said suddenly sounding like a small child again. Prue shot up amazed that Sam was finally awake.
"Hold on sweetheart, I'll go and get your brother." Prue told her and left the room to where the others were watching television.
"Guys Sam's awake. Donatello could you come to check her over please." Prue said. Don stood up and rushed into the lab. The others followed behind in the hope of getting to see Sam.
"Hey Sam, this is going to be a quick check over." Donnie said. He knew that he had to tell her, he hadn't told anyone else yet because he knew that Sam had to hear it for herself first. "And before I do I want to go over a list of your injuries.
"Okay D hit me with it." Sam said.
"Well first off your wrist was fractured slightly from the fall and you have a concussion." Donnie said gulping slightly. "There was also a crack on your lower plastron." Donnie said.
"Is the baby okay?" Samie asked immediately. Suddenly Donnie could feel every eye on him as he scratched the back of his head.
"I tried to save the baby, but there was nothing more I could do." Donnie said. "I am so sorry Samie. There was too much tissue damage in the uterus and the baby couldn't survive."
"Do another ultrasound. I need to see for myself." Sam said.
"I can't not until your plastron is healed enough to get the bandages removed."
"Donnie, I need to know." Samie said. "Please." Her face began to crumple up as the news sunk in. Tears fell as Sam held her good hand up to her face and cried into it. Prue rubbed her back.
"I am so sorry honey." She apologised and would never stop apologising to her daughter because it felt like she had ruined Sam's only chance to have a child of her own.
Eventually Sam had persuaded Donnie to let her see for herself and he used a stethoscope to let Sam hear her uterus. He knew she had enough medical knowledge to actually know what to listen out for.
"Is everything alright sis?" He asked as he took off the bandages. He had been persuaded to give her an ultrasound to ensure that everything was alright. He squeezed the gel on Sam's stomach. "This might hurt you a little." Donnie warned as he spread the gel around on her stomach and watched the screen. "That wasn't there before." He commented. Donnie zoomed in. It looked like a little turtle without a shell.
"Is that what I think it is?" Sam asked.
"Yes although it wasn't there and looks to be younger than your older child was. It seems that your body can't stop being pregnant for some reason." He explained.
"I am having another baby." Sam said. "Mom, Dad can you come in here a minute please." Sam yelled.
"I don't know if you will be able to carry to term, there was a lot of scarring on your ureteral lining." Donnie said.
Splinter and Prue walked in. "What is the matter Hime?" Splinter asked.
"I'm pregnant with another kid, a different one that appeared out of nowhere." Samantha explained still not exactly sure what was going on.
"There is a high risk of having a miscarriage with her injuries, but if I keep an eye on her it should be alright." Don explained. "You might need to stay in here for longer than I intended you to stay." Don said.
"You don't mind us telling everyone, do you honey?" Prue asked Samantha.
"Not at all mom, I don't think I actually have the energy and I am stuck in here until D says so." Sam answered.
"Thanks baby, you listen to your brother." Prue said. Sam looked at Prue, she seen how concerned her mother was and spoke.
"Mom it wasn't your fault that I was hurt. If you could have gotten me away from her any other way you would have." Sam said. Prue hugged her daughter.
"I love you baby." Prue said.
Eventually Splinter managed to get Prue out of the lab so that they could tell everyone the news. "We have some news." Prue said.
"Samie's dead no!" Mikey said getting on his knees and looking up as he did.
"No she isn't you idiot." Raph said hitting him with his newspaper. Splinter coughed out to warn his sons.
"Your sister is fine, this is good news." Splinter said.
"Sam's pregnant, again." Prue told them.
"How I thought Donnie said that there was too much trauma for her to keep the baby alive?" Paige asked.
"It's a different kid, it must have been whatever the Kraang did to her." Splinter said.
"When do we get to see the baby?" Chris asked.
"Honey you won't get to see it for a few months yet." Piper told him. "And maybe the next time we come to New York we will see the baby." Donnie came out of the lab.
"Guys does anyone want to help me keep Samie entertained, she was moaning that she is getting bored a few seconds ago.
"I thought that you were checking the baby." Prue said.
"I finished." Don answered. "And I need help." He smiled as the Leo, Luci, Raph, Mikey, Wyatt and Chris all stood up and followed them in. Melinda had wanted to go in as well, but Leo had wanted her to stay away from the potentially harmful stuff that was in the lab.
Sam smiled as she seen them. "Move your feet sis, I am sitting on the bed with you." Luci said as she climbed on and crossed her legs as she sat down. "Ogenki desuka?" Luci asked.
"Genki Desu." Samie replied smiling. It was the first time that she had smiled since she had woken up. It made everyone think that she was truly alright and would eventually heal and get better.
