over the next few weeks splinter barely left his room as he was recovering from the birth of his child but finally he came out of his room one morning and stayed out for the whole day so they all thought he was fully recovered then he started to look after his children again with the help of his whole family but a month after splinter had given birth to his stillborn baby leo woke up and felt his baby kick and this was when he knew he had to tell his family so that day he went to splinter and said "dad i have something i need to tell you" then splinter said "can it wait my son? we are due to start training soon" and leo said "well i suppose it could" so splinter took leo down to the dojo with him but as they started with the katas leo felt his baby kick again so he doubled over in pain then splinter said "get up leonardo" and leo said "i cant dad it hurts too much" then splinter said "ok my son just relax for a minute" then leo said "please make it stop dad" then splinter said "boys can one of you get leatherhead for me? he is the best person to treat this problem" then the other turtles went out to find leatherhead as he had gone for a walk.

as soon as his brothers were gone leo said "dad theres nothing to worry about" then splinter said "you are in pain and that worries me" then leo said "dad i'm pregnant it was just the baby kicking" then splinter said "but how?" and leo said "when i was kidnapped for that month they experimented on me and got me pregnant" but just then the turtles ran back in with leatherhead and leatherhead said "what is wrong leonardo?" then leo said "i'm fine now" then he sat up and leatherhead said "i would feel better if you would let me look at you to make sure" then leo said "i'm fine really" then splinter said "you must tell them leonardo" then donny said "tell us what?" and leo said "i'm pregnant from when i was kidnapped" then leatherhead said "how many months?" and leo said "four" and donny said "why didnt you tell us sooner leo?" and leo said "i was going to tell you last month but when i went to tell dad he was in labour then after that i didn't really think it was appropriate" then splinter said "thank you for being considerate of my feelings leonardo but it could have gotten your child killed" then leo said "i don't need you all chewing me out right now this baby is giving me hell as it is" then the baby kicked again so leo rubbed his bump to calm the baby down.

when leo had calmed his baby down splinter said "my son we are only concerned for the safety of you and your child" then leo said "i know dad i'm sorry i got so angry just then" then he started crying so splinter said "it is alright leonardo it is just your hormones playing up again" then he gave leo a hug and eventually leo stopped crying then leatherhead said "leonardo you should have a scan if you are four months pregnant come and we will do one now for you" then leo said "ok thanks leatherhead" then he went to the med lab with his family. when leo was lying down on a bed leatherhead put the scanner against his bump but then a memory resurfaced for leo of being scanned while he was tied to a table so he said "no let me go i wanna go" then splinter said "calm down my son we are not going to hurt you or the baby" then leo looked at splinter and said "i don't wanna do this i'm scared daddy" then splinter said "i know you must be but we need to scan you to have a look at the child inside you" then leo said "will you do it?" and splinter said "i do not know how but i will not leave you" then leo got up and said "no i want you to do it dad please don't make me do this" then he ran from the room crying so splinter said "did you see anything?" and leatherhead said "no i couldn't find the child before he ran off" then splinter said "come with me leatherhead and bring the scanner" so leatherhead did.

once they were stood outside leo's room splinter said "my son please let us in and i will do the scan for you" then leo said "promise?" and splinter said "yes" so leo opened the door then splinter walked in and leatherhead followed but leo said "why is he here dad? i dont want him here i only want you" then splinter said "but my son i do not know what i am looking for he is not going to touch you i will do the scan he will just look at the screen and tell you how the baby is doing" then leo said "ok dad" then he laid down and they did the scan which revealed leo's baby was fine.

by the time leo was 6 months pregnant he was starting to get over what had happened to him in the lab and splinter had been helping him with his fear of being scanned and also with the nightmares he had been having since the first scan and finally when he needed the second scan at 6 months he was still a little scared so he wanted splinter there but he stayed and let leatherhead do the scan then leatherhead said "you are having a daughter leonardo congratulations" then leo cleaned himself up but just as he went to leave the baby kicked him so he said "ooh!" then splinter said "what is wrong my son?" then leo said "she kicked me really hard" then splinter said "thank god" then leo rubbed his bump and said "please dont do that again baby girl it really hurts" then he went out and told his brothers about his unborn daughter before going for a rest as he was exhausted because of the baby.
