Chapter 12

three days later…

Lightly pushing into the keys with his silver pointed, cybernetic fingers. The words reflected upon his cybernetic glass head casing as he typed, review and edit the report he created after observing what he had discovered. The unexpected and expendable prisoners that were subjected to her lust of blood and flesh. The doors opened, whist he continued to puncture the buttons on the keyboard as the federal agent approached his side and said with a low curious request.

"What is that you are recording, doctor?" bishop glanced down the computer, over the cybernetic scientist's mechanic arm. If he were able to cringe or recoil, he would had but since unable to do so as his limbs were mechanical and would creak or stiff.

"Subject 061 has infected those she had bitten." Stockman answered, continued to glare the screen. Raising his eye brow ridge, then finally he said. "Bitten? What has happened to the subjects, doctor?"

Stockman answered as he pressed the button and played the feedback video. "This is what happened, Agent bishop."

Watching the feedback video, and bishop waited til it ended and then just chuckled, with a sneered smirk. "Excellent, continue with the testing." Turned around and begun to walk away when stockman mentioned one side effects. "There is one side effect."

Stopping at the door as it opened and he answered. "What kind of side effects, doctor?"

"They, well they become like ghouls." Stockman paused, as bishop demanded quickly. "Fix it."

"Like how?" stockman glared bishop's back as he was puzzled to how the problem will be corrected if that is, could be fixed.

"You're a genesis right? Figure it out!" Finally leaving the room, as the doors closed behind him and stockman stood stiff with a heavy exhale and drumming headache, which had thumped in his head that is if he were still actual organic but then, his brain was the only genetic piece of him that remained intact.

"Bloody slave driver." Stockman grumbled, naming his employer. Then, a ring of the ring tone rang and answering it as the screen opened with the visual picture of the caller. "Doctor Stockman, I think you should come down and see this as something had happened to subject 061."

"Be right there." Stockman paused, ending the video communication as he heavily grunted and said. "What can be worse then ghoulish rejects?" continued as he left the room and went to the genetics laboratory.

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Walking together under the beautiful sky, despite it had rained but it was still indeed; beautiful. But to the scientist, that had taken Stockman's position for the foot clan since he had left the employment of Oroku Saki aka Shredder; Dr. Jacob Chaplin became more then just what Stockman was expected to be but so much more. Although he had a eye for the warlords, daughter. Karai.

Even though they never saw eye to eye in the beginning, as she was greatly loyal to her father and desired to please him but it wasn't until the year before, she realised. The loneliness was eating at her and within. Forever wore a mask to hide away the loneliness and constant desire to share her life with someone but, also wondered. Would no, could her father understand and permit her to have that luxury? Will he accept and approve her choice in a life long partner?

Laying within the warmth of his tender, and caressing embrace as the muscles slowly grew bulk and tone. Lightly ran her finger nails along his forearm as she happily purred and nuzzled his shoulder when Jacob softly spoke and commenting on what he had cradled.

"You are so beautiful." Karai smiled, turned and gazed up to him with a smile. "You say that every time we are like this. Is there a reason for this special occasion?" she wondered, curiously with a warming glance.

Chuckled then answered with a shake of his head. "No, just like to say that you are beautiful and enjoy, spending time here with you."

"Don't fib. I know there is something." Karai stated quickly. Jacob chuckled again and replied. "You got me. I am hiding something." Releasing her from his hold and reached down into his pocket then held up before her. Her eyes widen, as she covered her mouth while the words got caught in her throat. Jacob knew exactly what she was thinking and he assured her, that he wished to give her something memorable.

"Is this what I think it is?" she wondered, finally asked when able to speak. Jacob smiled and replied, taking her hand and slipped the golden band with jade gems, onto her finger. "This is a promise ring, I want to show my affection and pledge my heart to you."

A bright flush of crimson blush, surfaced and filled her cheeks as joyous tears streamed down and stained her soft, beautiful Asian skin. "So what do you say, karai?" he asked, hopeful. Karai smiled, kissed him tenderly and answered, once parted their lips after a passionate kiss.

"Yes, I promise." Jacob was over the moon and extremely happy, caressed then cusped her cheek as he kissed her once again. She returned the kiss, just as tenderly and murred warmly whilst their lips locked and danced gracefully. After a few minutes of deep, passionate kissing. Their foreheads met and the deep connecting bond, grew stronger as they said nothing more and snuggled happily together under shade as the rain begun to lighten and the sun slowly, shined through like a holy light in the darkness.

"It is time, to share with my father about the news Jacob." Karai stated. Jacob nodded and replied, agreeably. "Yes, I know. When should we tell him?"

"How about, this evening?" she looked up to him, smiling tenderly and he smiled back, nodded. "Alright. Anything for you, karai." Kissing her forehead tenderly, and loving.

Winchester ranch house, the temporary infirmary…

Luckily the ranch house was big enough to house everyone and accommodate each room for every purpose needed. And this case, a temporary infirmary was indeed needed. Donatello and leatherhead, kept a vigilant watch over the eggs and Rachael as she was growing extremely protective of her children that she waited to meet.

"Rachael, you need a break." Donatello assured gently. The new mother, didn't answer and stood by the cubicle. Wondering, dreaming actually of when they will hatch. "Rachael?" Donatello called once again and finally she turned, facing him. "Yeah?"

"You should rest, take a break. We will be here. Besides, should be planning for the wedding."

"Yeah, you are right. Call me if there is any change." She asked. The purple clad terrapin nodded, promising that he'd retrieve her soon as something happens. Rachael walked out, leaving the room and James looked up with a smile as he offered, a sandwich. Rachael smiled, taking the sandwich and said. "Thankyou."

"I figured you must be hungry as it had been at least three days since you left that room." James informed her, when raphael walked up behind her and draped his arms around rachael's waist. "How is my special lady?"

"I'm good, bit sore." She answered, snuggled in his embrace. "Have you chosen your dress?" james wondered, eager to see the dress. "Yes, but not til the day you will see it." She winked.

"Aww, darn. Don't I get to see it?" James wined and smiled, winking playfully. Rachael chuckled and answered. "Nope, have to wait til the day comes and you get to see it."

"Ok, rachael." He smiled. "So how is the babies?"

"They are good, but just waiting." She answered, sighing. "Patience, is a virtue. Everything is going to be ok." He assured. Raphael kissed his bride's shoulder and assured that she shouldn't fret so much and he'd be outside with his brothers, training. She nodded, kissed him tenderly and stood still as he left her side and walked outside to meet his sensei and brothers.

"He is a good man, rachael. Your father would be happy to meet him." James paused and sighed then resumed. "If he were still with us."

"Yes, I know uncle jimmy and I bet both dad and Raphael would be great friends, just like you and him are now." Rachael commented, smiling. James nodded agreeably then stated. "Yes, I'm sure they would be as he is exactly what your parents would wish for in a partner for you. So very proud of you. I know they would be too."

Hugging her uncle gently as she softly said. "Thankyou, I don't know how this would be possible without you here." Returning the hug and replied, softly. "You're welcome, rachael. I wouldn't miss this wedding for the century."
