Chapter 3

Later that day…

Poor Mikey stayed quiet in his room, moped around as he greatly missed the she-wolf he nicknamed his angel. This worried his family as soft knocking attracted his attention but never answered the door, still remained on his bed. The door opened and footsteps approached him slowly. "Michelangelo?" the old rat softly and tenderly called as he closed the door behind him.

The orange clad terrapin continued to stare at the photograph, running his thumb over it. Splinter sat beside his son and sighed, placing his hand over Mikey's reassuring him tenderly. "She will return, my son."

Looking up to his father and said, with tears that covered his cheeks. "How do you know, sensei?"

Splinter smiled and answered. "I saw how you looked to wolfjade, when you two would play, joke even cook together. And it saddened me when she left. I also saw how she felt."

Mikey didn't know what to reply and looked down to the photograph again. Looking at himself and jade, happily making faces like goofballs they were while enjoying been themselves. Meanwhile standing outside the lair entrance, Wolfjade decided to surprise her loved ones, just as she opened the door and stepped inside. But just as splinter was about to say something else, a high pitched womanly squeal circulated in the lair. Her eyes widened, ears twitched and fur bristled to the screamed then suddenly heard Rachael's voice as she stated. "Who's screaming?! Are we under attack? Please tell me we aren't! Good lord, I thought I was the only girl in this joint!" Wolfjade exhaled with relief as she hadn't been noticed yet or her arrival was heard but quietly sniggered to herself as she closed the door behind and hid in the shadows slightly, and watched Raphael run around with his sai's chasing down a little itty bitty cockroach. The screaming and shouting commenced. "GET IT! GET IT! DIE ROACH!"

Rachael stood back watching Raphael stunned, as he chased it with his sai's. Then she couldn't help herself to laugh as Raphael continued. "DIE ROACH! GET BACK HERE! DIE! DIE!"

Just as Splinter was about to say something when hearing the screams and cussing from Mikey's room what caught his attention was the voice that had been away for the year. "Whatever did the roach do to you Raph?" wolfjade asked, smiling whilst standing in the entrance.

All were silent for a few seconds while both Mikey and splinter looked to each other then walked out to investigate. Mikey stood in shock when seeing wolfjade been greeted by Rachael and his brothers. Splinter smiled then leaned in close to his son's ear and said. "Go to her, my son. And say hello." Gently pushed him out of the door and followed as the orange clad terrapin lightly stumbled forward a little but regained his balance then gulped as he finally instead of walking over, hurried towards her and threw his arms around her while not realising that he ran over Raphael, as he pushed himself up and held his head and groaned. "Turtle stampede." Rachael laughed then immediately assured. "You ok, honey?"

"I'll be ok." He answered then screamed again, resumed chasing the roach and Rachael blinked then placed both hands on her hips. "I've heard of guys been scared of some things but a roach, seriously?"

"Raph has a bug phobia." Leo told her. "Oh?" she answered. Mikey swung wolfjade happily and excited then placed her down, then apologised. "Sorry." She smiled and grasped his hands, whispery said with a warming smile. "Hi Mikey."

Finally Raphael was happy that roach was gone and walked to his mate. She looked to him with a smile and said. "Better?" he nodded and smiled, draping his arm around Rachael's waist and pulled her close as he replied. "Better." Leonardo smiled, happy for his youngest brother and said. "Well, are you going to stand there or say something Mikey?"

Wolfjade and Rachael giggled. Then wolfjade answered, gently asked the same question but in her own way of asking. "Yeah, are you going to say something and say hello?"

Mikey didn't say, instead he grasped released her hands then grasped her arms gently and pulled her fast to him then kissed her which she widely glared surprised with a dark crimson blush as she lightly squeaked in the kiss. The others watched on also surprised. Then Raphael broke the ice, commenting with encouragement. "That's my boy."

Both Leonardo and Rachael looked to Raphael and said. "Since when?"
"Yeah, since when raphie?"

Raph smirked and replied. "Since now."

Soon as they broke their first kiss, wolfjade nuzzled her nose with Mikey's and said softly. "Now that is what I call a greeting."

"I'll say." Leonardo stated, smiling. All looked to the blue clad terrapin as they were stunned to hear a comment as such from the self-disciplined leader and glanced back to each one then said. "What?"

Then suddenly wolfjade smelt a unusual scent, following it to rachael. Her ears flattened softly and smiled. She knew something is different about her. "Rachael, are you pregnant?" Rachael lightly scoffed then answered. "Um, uh I don't think so. Why on earth would you assume such a thing?" And lightly chuckled, but glanced confused.

"I can smell it. Your scent is different." Wolfjade replied, smiling. Rachael rushed to check as raphael couldn't believe how fast she bolted from his arm and said. "Are you ok, babe?" Rachael didn't reply and hurried to Don's room for a pregnancy test stick, Donatello was working on his gadgets when he sat in his chair stunned as he was demanded for a pregnancy pee stick by Rachael and scratched his head and followed but stood in the doorway wondering what has gotten into Rachael then noticed wolfjade. "Oh hey, jade, you're back." He said, with a smile while Rachael rushed to the bathroom with a slam of the door and lock. "Yeah, just arrived back." She answered.

Five minutes later, their curiosity revealed as the door opened and poor raphael stood in shock before fainting. "Oh my GOD! I'M PREGNANT!"

Wolfjade smiled happily and answered the question asked, well Donnie did. "How did you know?" Mikey wondered. "It is obvious, wolves can smell the difference in the scent of expectant mothers." Don explained. "Right?" he asked.

"Yes." She nodded, smiling. "Wow. I got the coolest girlfriend EVER!" mikey excited stated. Wolfjade blushed and twiddled her fingers. "Mikey."

"Yeah, dudette." He answered. Wolfjade couldn't hold back no more and kissed him, he blushed then kissed back happily. Rachael ran out, holding the stick and cried excited. "Raphie! Raphie!" Then looked to the floor where the unconscious red clad terrapin laid and looked to Donnie. "What happened?"

He smiled, tried not to cackle as he replied. "He fainted."

"Oh dear." She replied. Then he groaned, sitting up and said. "What happened?"

"You fainted raph." Don told him. "Congrats buddy, you're going to be a father." Mikey congratulated soon as he broke the kiss, wolfjade happily nestled her head near his neck. "Congrats, bro." leo smiled.

"What? When? How?" He stammered. "Well, when two lovers come together and." He paused when interrupted. "I get it donnie." Standing up and gently pulled rachael to him then scooped her legs up in bridal style and he happily twirled around as he cradled her gently, then kissed her. "Even things, I fainted. This is the best day of my life."

"Mine too." Rachael whispered, smiling. Splinter walked over and smiled, happily to see wolfjade returned safely to his youngest son but was also thrilled about the baby news as he congratulated his red clad son. "Congratulations my son. This is a great day."

Placing rachael down and held her hand as he bowed to his sensei then said. "Thankyou sensei." Splinter draped his arms around his neck and hugged him, raphael smiled. Hugging him back gently.
