It was a few hours to drive back to New York but they got there. Casey parked the van at his house and they all went inside to get the surprise baby gifts for Leo. Then they drove to a road that was close by the park where they would be able to get into the sewers safely.

After they got into the sewers, the five boys carefully entered the lair. Splinter smelled around to make sure there were no commandoes around.

"Ever since we left, Bishop's forces did not stay long when we didn't come back." Splinter could smell it in the air.

"Good. Let's get what we need and get out of here." Raph said.

Everyone went to their rooms, the kitchen, the lab, the dojo, to get what they could fit into the van.

When Don entered the lab, he saw the Battle Shell was still intact and they could use that to transport their things from here. And Leatherhead was going to need a ride too. But the next thing he did was look for the incubators.

He found them against a far wall, completely destroyed and he wanted to scream. It made him so mad. He had put a lot of work into those. Now he would have to make new ones. Stupid government humans!

Don gathered up the incubator remains to see if any of it could be used again to make new ones. He also got his laptop, many of his schematics notes and many other things. He then went to Leo's room to see if there was anything he knew Leo would want.

Don checked Leo's desk and found the stethoscope that LH had given him. He knew Leo would want that for sure. He gathered up his kanji drawings, some of his favorite books and scrolls, his meditation mat and candles.

Mikey had gathered up some food from the kitchen that was still good and had thrown out the milk in the fridge.

Raph and Casey had gotten the majority of weapons and weights from the dojo along with the punching bag.

"Hey guys, the Battle Shell is still intact and we can use that to transport more things." Don said.

"Good." Raph said.

They went about gathering many more things. But they left enough room for Leatherhead and his ultrasound machine. They were going to need it periodically for this month.

After the van and Battle Shell were loaded with what they could get for now, the family went to Leatherhead's. Don called him before they left. At least there were still some working shell cells.

The big croc had some things ready to go when they got there and Leatherhead lifted his ultrasound machine into the back of the Battle Shell. Then he climbed into the back of the truck. He had turned off all the major appliances for the time he would be gone from home.

After many hours, it was now time to go back to the farmhouse.

…

When they got back to the farmhouse, they took all the baby gifts to the basement over by the silos. They took some stuff into the barn, but the most important stuff went inside, like the ultrasound machine.

April and Leo were having an evening meal when the others had come back. They were just finishing up.

"There's plenty of it left for you guys." April said as she and Leo now left the table to go do other things before it would be time for bed again.

The guys were all famished. They all served up the meatloaf. Then after dinner, after an hour, Splinter had his three sons do some katas before it was time to settle down for the night.

Don, Raph, and Mikey took their turns in the shower after the workouts.

Leo had gone to meditate and was happy his brothers had brought his meditation mat and candles. He sat down on it carefully. It took him a little while to get comfortable because his bulging stomach made things very awkward now.

Leatherhead wanted to do an exam tomorrow. He had been welcomed with open arms.

When it was time to go to bed for Leo, Raph was just entering the bedroom when he saw his heavily pregnant brother try to get up. He couldn't help but try to hide his giggle as he watched Leo struggle to get up.

"Need some help?" Raph offered with a smile.

"I think so." Leo said breathlessly as he gave up and sat heavily back down on the mat.

Raph came over and gave Leo a hand up. "Maybe you should meditate on your bed from now on until after the babies are born."

"Yeah. Maybe I will. It's getting to be too hard for me to get up off the floor. I can't even bend over to pick something up off the floor anymore." Leo said.

Raph couldn't help but smirk. But he felt for his brother's condition now. It was definitely getting harder with his stomach getting bigger all the time.

Soon, the others joined them and they all went to bed for the night. It had been a long day.

…

Back in New York, Agent Johnson and Agent Bishop were planning something for the turtles if they ever caught them again. But they would especially make sure to contain Leonardo with what he carried for them. But if they were never caught again until next year, something else was also planned, but it wouldn't work until the turtles were recaptured.
