Hey ya'll! So sorry for the long-ass wait! Writer's block's a bitch, isn't it? Hope you guys enjoy this one.

"Well, Sukari," Raj said with a smile as she touched Sukari's forehead, "you don't have a fever, but you need rest." Sukari rolled her eyes and rubbed the sides of her forehead. It was finally the ninth month, she had online school assignments due, and she had a migraine to top it all off. She honestly had no time to sleep, or even rest for that matter. She yawned and turned back to the screen.

"Thank you, Raj," she said. She stared at the screen, but couldn't focus. She hadn't been able to sleep for the past few days and it was frustrating being cramped up in the lair with five other girls all day long. It was too hard not to freak out. The only thing that tipped the estrogen balance was Slash, but he usually stayed in his room.

Raj looked at Sukari for a moment before grasping the rolling chair in both of her hands. With a small effort, she dragged Sukari away from the computer and over to the bed. "Raj!" Sukari shouted in surprise. "Stop! I have homework to do!"

"You, missy," Raj said, taking on her mother tone, "need to get rest." She helped Sukari up and put her on the bed. "Look at you. You never have bags under your eyes and they've appeared within three days. Sleep, Sukari. Don't make me use my powers." She crooked her eyebrow. Sukari rolled her eyes.

"Raj," she said, "I have way too much stuff to get done."

Then Raj did something that she rarely ever did. She gave the look; the mom look. That look that said if Sukari didn't get her tail under the covers and to sleep, Raj would bury her alive and dance on her grave. Sukari looked down and grumbled something before complying. Raj smiled in satisfaction. She sat down next to Sukari and pet her head gently, watching Sukari's eyelids grow heavy. Sukari stared up at Raj and smiled weakly. Raj meant so much to her. She was like Sukari's adoptive mother, though they were so close in age. Raj smiled and started to hum a song; a song that Sukari knew all too well. Raj was humming Wisteria's lullaby.

"Listen to your heart when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart. There's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going, and I don't know why, but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye." Raj sang the chorus and Sukari fell asleep, but before she did, a single tear fell from her eye and onto the pillow. Raj leaned down and kissed Sukari's forehead softly and left the room silently. When she arrived into the living room, she found Slash sitting there alone in the room. "Hello, Slash," she said kindly. Slash looked up at her, gave her a once-over, then looked away.

"You're a psychic, aren't you?" he asked in a flat tone. Raj crooked an eyebrow and sat down.

"Yes," she said. Slash looked at her.

"Could I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Is there a future where Sukari will love me again?" Raj blinked at him and looked down.

"There's no way I could tell, Slash. Unless a vision comes to me, then I don't know." Slash looked down again and sighed. Raj slid closer. "Slash, Sukari has found a deep love inside Raphael. It's blooming. The proof of their love is inside Sukari right now. I'm sure that, somewhere, deep in Sukari, she still has love for you. She's just no longer in love with you." Slash nodded, got up, and went to his room closing the door behind him. Raj sighed and sat back in the chair. She suddenly felt familiar warmth to her mind and she went black.

(Raj's vision)

Raphael was fighting Bishop, close to losing the battle. He was exhausted. If he even made a slight mistake at this point, it would cost him his life.

Sukari was across the court, sitting on the floor, and holding a baby; a newborn. She was curling up behind Mona and Carolie as they defended her and her child. Sukari was watching Bishop and Raphael fighting viciously. She watched as Raphael took a kick to the gut and a solid punch to the face. He yelled out in pain. And his back hit the wall. Bishop picked up one of Leonardo's fallen katana and held it to Raph's throat.

Sukari got up, giving her baby to Raj. Bishop was about to run Raphael through. Sukari ran towards them at full speed, and just as the sword was an inch away from Raphael, Sukari pushed Raph out of the way and took the blade herself.

(End of vision)

Raj came back to reality with a start and breathed heavily. She held her forehead and shook in fear and shock from what she had seen. Her vision showed Sukari's death. Raj stood, went to Sukari's room in a panicking run, and looked into the door. Sukari was there sleeping where Raj had left her. Raj sighed in relief and heard the door open. She looked over and saw the boys come into the room. Leo smiled at her and kissed her forehead. Raj half-heartedly hugged him and stared at Raphael. Leo went to the bedroom and Raj walked over to Raphael.

"Raphael?" Raph looked at her. "I need to speak with you."

"Okay," he said as he followed her into the dojo.

…..

"What?!" Raph shouted as he stood abruptly.

"Raphael," Raj said, "I'm sorry."

"Sukari's gonna die? Right after she has da baby?!"

"Raphael, keep your voice down! She's sleeping!" Raj put her hand on his shoulder and he sat with his fists clenched. "I don't know. I just had a vision. You know as well as I do that my visions are not always clear. We just have to keep her safe until the baby is born. We only have less than a week until then, so the best thing to do is never leave her side. Can you afford to take time off of school?"

"Yeah, of course," Raph said with a sigh. "I'll stay home with her, then."

"Thank you," Raj said. She touched his shoulder again and left the room. Raph ran his fingers through his hair and got up, heading to Sukari's room. He took his shirt off when he got there and also took his ring off. He fully undressed after and got under the covers next to his sleeping mate. He wrapped his arms around her protectively and held her close. She moaned underneath him and nuzzled his chest. Raph tightened his hold on her and pet her short hair.

"Don't worry, baby," he whispered to her. "I won't leave you, ever. I love you." He reached down and rubbed her stomach gently, feeling a kick. His eyes welled with tears. "Ya gonna be beautiful, whoever you are. Daddy won't ever leave ya. I promise." He soon fell asleep with Sukari and his future baby in his arms.

…..

Josh was pacing in Bishop's study. He was still unable to track Sukari down. Bishop had eyes on the turtles at the school, but they wouldn't be of help at all, so they didn't confront them yet. Bishop looked at Josh and was glaring in frustration.

"What do you mean, Sukari's pregnant?" Bishop asked him. Josh rolled his eyes and looked at Bishop.

"What do ya mean, what do I mean?" he asked. "There ain't many ways dat can be misinterpreted." Bishop sighed and gritted his teeth.

"Do you know how dangerous this child will be when it's born?" he asked Josh. Josh shrugged at him and continued his pacing. "If raised incorrectly, it could bring this world to its knees. Sukari's the first half-breed dragon to ever exist. She has powers that no other dragon could even dream of. This baby will be triple that." Josh raised his eyebrows and kept pacing. "Will you please take a seat, Joshua?"

"No," Josh said as he continued. "I don't wanna sit. I had a rough couple months and I'm done sittin' down."

"Josh," Bishop said, coming out from behind his desk and grabbing the boy's jacket, holding him in place, "are you intoxicated?" Josh suddenly punched Bishop's hand away and kicked his wall.

"Why da hell are we still tryin'?!" he shouted. Bishop stood back and glared. "We haven't been able ta find her for months and ya still won't give up, will ya?! Can't we just leave her alone, already?!" Bishop raised his eyebrows.

"So you changed you mind on your vendetta?" he asked calmly. Josh glared at him.

"Maybe I did!" he shouted. "She's pregnant, Bishop! She's also ya daughter! Why do ya want her dead so damn badly?!"

"Just because she and I share blood doesn't mean we have any real connection," Bishop said. "She's just an experiment. I only wanted her as a weapon. After you two got married, I was going to erase her memories and replace them with new ones." Josh's eyes widened.

"What about me?" he asked. "I don't know if ya get what it means, but I loved her! I loved who she was! Ya were gonna change her completely for what; her ta become ya damn slave?! And she said I was heartless!" Bishop pushed himself off of his desk and socked Josh in the mouth with all his might. Josh cried out and fell to the ground, holding his chin. He spit out some blood and his breath was shallow. He looked up at Bishop and stood slowly.

"Tell me, Josh," Bishop said, "how does it feel to be on the other side of a punch?" Josh glared and wiped his chin, stumbling slightly. Bishop nodded once and went back to his desk, sitting. "Leave now. I have work to do." Josh glared, and then nodded, leaving angrily.

He was rather curious why he was defending Sukari instead of supporting her death. He guessed that his little spat with Amy and the admissions he'd made, he realized that Sukari should be able to let all of that go, just like he should. He sighed to himself, confused and knowing all at the same time. He finally decided that, instead of trying to hurt her, maybe he should just let it all go. Bishop could do it himself if he wanted to. It didn't matter to Josh. Whatever.

Well, we all knew that Josh was bipolar. It's ok. I'll bring back his inner psycho soon! Read and review please!
