The next day, Leo was awoken early in the morning for his breakfast. He was bored after that, so he managed to get himself comfortable on the bed and tried some meditation. He had to try to reach out to his family somehow, or simply clear his head.

But it wasn't long before his meditation was interrupted by two men entering the room. "Come with us, Turtle. Agent Johnson wants you to get some air and light."

Leo's eyes widened. This could be a chance to escape!

"Sure." Leo said and slowly got off the bed.

"Don't give us any trouble now, or you won't get this opportunity again." One man warned him.

As he got up to the men, his arms were grabbed and pulled behind his back. The bonds on his wrists were connected with a special lock. "Now move out."

Leo knew he needed to get the bonds off his wrists if he wanted to escape. But he walked on with the men, biding his time.

Soon, they came to a place outside. It was a very picturesque area. It had four high walls but had grass, flowers, one tree in the middle, and a pool.

"Enjoy the freedom while you have it. Soon, you will be exercised." The other man said as he and his partner left Leo alone in the area.

Once he was locked in, the cuffs were released and he could explore the area more freely. Leo looked around and looked for any signs of weakness that he could take advantage of. There were a few benches throughout the area. He went over and sat down on the one in front of the pool.

He looked down at his reflection in the water and saw it definitely looked different with a bulging belly. He wondered how this pregnancy was really going to affect him other than getting fat. He wanted to have these babies in the comfort of his family, not in the compound.

Leo soaked up some rays from the sun for a little while then went into the water to try to see if there was a way out under the water, but found there wasn't. It was just deep enough for him to submerge his body and that was it. It was a warm day out and a good day to enjoy the water.

He wasn't in for long before he got out and let the sun dry his body. He meditated and tried to reach out to his father once again. If he could find him.

But that too was interrupted when two different men entered the yard. "Time in the yard is over. Now it's time for your exercise."

Exercise?

Once again, Leo was escorted with his hands restrained, but to a gym this time. Johnson was waiting for him.

"What are you going to have me do? You said I wasn't going to be doing anything." Leo said.

"I meant fighting. You didn't think I was going to let you sit all day and do nothing, did you? Even pregnant people need some exercise. You will be doing some simple walking exercises. Fast and slow, so we can see how much you can handle. If you get dizzy or need a rest, just say so. Pregnancy can easily make you tired and you can lose balance at times as well. So just be aware. And afterwards, you can have your lunch and an afternoon nap."

"Nap? I'm not a 5 year old."

Johnson laughed, "Believe me when I say the pregnancy will make you tired. You'll be allowed out of your room to do things as long as you behave. We can always make you stay in your room with nothing to do." Johnson said.

"Fine. Let's just do this. I'm aching for some exercise." Leo said.

Johnson first had him get on the treadmill. Leo's hands were released so he could hold on to the handles. Johnson started the treadmill on low and Leo started walking then they began to work him up to a faster pace to get his heart rate going up. But he wasn't forced to run.

Leo was glad he wasn't forced to run. He had been walking for about thirty minutes and he was already sweating and panting hard. He felt dizzy in the head. He also had a little pain in his stomach.

"I think it's time to stop for now. Here, have a drink." Johnson gave Leo a bottle of water.

The turtle gladly downed the water.

"Drink it slowly."

Leo was parched but he did as he was instructed and slowed down as he drank all of it.

"It's too soon after waking up for you to take a full force workout. We'll take it slow and just keep you in shape throughout the pregnancy until it's time to stop."

"What do you mean, time to stop?" Leo asked.

"With those four babies, soon, the weight of them will make you have to stop all exercise."

Leonardo didn't want to think about it, but carrying these babies would make him have to do that. He would feel bored out of his mind.

Once Leo was cooled off and got his breath back, he was taken back to his room where he was allowed to eat his lunch. And after that, Johnson was right, Leo did need a nap.

Exhausted, he fell asleep nearly instantly. He had never felt like this before.

At nearly sundown, some more food was brought in for him, along with some books to see if he might want to read for a while.

Leo knew that these humans were going to be feeding him quite well and to get him to fatten up sooner he was sure. He didn't want to fatten up, but the babies would make him.

After dinner, he tried to read articles in the books before he tried once again to meditate. But that too was interrupted when men came in for the tray.

Why did these humans have perfect timing to interrupt his meditations?!

Then it was time for bed. He lay on his bed, trying to formulate a plan to get out of there. He needed to get out of there while the babies were still small. If he waited too much longer, then the babies would be too big and hold him down more.

As much as Leo had hated that this pregnancy had been forced on him, there was nothing he could do. He wouldn't abandon such innocent little beings to the fate of what Bishop wanted to do with them.

…..

After more than three months of Leo missing, Leo's family was sure he was still out there, alive, but they would be lucky if they would ever see him again.

Don felt the most guilty that Leo had had to take his place when he had been set free. He tried looking for him on the Internet constantly. He wasn't giving up.

Raph had looked through practically the whole city by now, taking down enemies in his path. But he never came across any commandoes. Casey often helped him as well, but he too turned up nothing on Leo.

Mikey did his best to try to keep the others happy, but it didn't always work. But they did respect him enough that he would keep them fed.

Master Splinter kept on trying to sense his son's presence in the astral plane. He could never get him to talk, but he sensed he was out there.

April did her best to assist Don in trying to track Leo down, but she too couldn't find anything.

Bishop was not an easy man to find. Some of the last places that Bishop had been found were through a train and a helicopter that had belonged to him. But those places had been destroyed, and after the battle with the Tengu Shredder, Bishop had left the area again. Now they didn't know where to look, but they would keep on trying.

Their main hope was that Leo would escape Bishop's clutches and make his way home.
