Meanwhile, back in the lair, Splinter was peacefully meditating in the dojo deep in a trance. Until he heard a bunch of crashing sounds which caused him to get up and inspect. Before he could question what was going on, his sons ran right past him and into Donnie's much to his surprise. As the brothers head to Donnie's lab, Leo sets the little turtle on the lab table and it starts to cry a little bit.
"Donnie, is there anything we can do to help!?" Raph asked frantically.
"Yes, you grab a hot bottle of milk. Mikey, I need you to grab some blankets."
"Got it D!" Mikey saluted and rushed out to get some blankets. Donnie then turned to Leo and was about to say something but he cut him off, "No Donnie, someone has to tell Master Splinter what's going on and it's gonna be me."
"Are you sure Leo?" Donnie asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Leo then walked out of the lab but Splinter was right in front of him.
"Leonardo, explain. Now!" Splinter questioned his eldest son.
"Well- uh...here's the thing sensei..." Leo chuckled nervously.
In the lab, Donnie was trying to calm the baby down while Raph and Mikey were getting the stuff. She was now crying a little more than before, "Oh don't cry please!" Donnie begged. But then Raph and Mikey come bursting in just in time with the stuff they need.
"I got the hot bottle D!" Mikey called out. Raph handed Donnie the blankets and he quickly wrapped them around the baby turtle while he handed it the bottle of warm milk which it happily accepted and started drinking it. The three brothers sighed in relief knowing the chaos was over.
"She's gonna be okay." Donnie sighed in relief.
"SHE!?"
"Wait, it's a girl? How do you know that?" Raph questioned.
"Oh I just guessed, I checked her gender," Donnie said sarcastically.
"I see she has made a recovery?" Splinter walked into the lab with Leo by his side, "Leonardo told me everything that happened. It seems she has made a full recovery indeed." He then picks her up and looks at her.
"It has been many years...since I held a baby girl." Splinter smiles. The baby girl looks at Splinter curiously with her hazel eyes. She reached her tiny three-fingered hand out and touched his face with a small smile making Splinter chuckle a little.
"And have you boys thought about where she is going to stay?" Splinter asked which made the boys look at each other.
"Well, we were thinking she could stay here," Leo said.
"Can we keep her Master Splinter? Can we, can we?" Mikey pleaded.
"Yes, but she is all of your responsibility. You must all contribute to take care of her." He spoke.
"Hai Sensei." All the brothers spoke.
"WAHOO! We have a little sister!" Mikey jumps around the room in joy.
"Calm down kuncklehead," Raph spoke.
"What should we name her?" Donnie asked.
"I haven't really thought about it." Leo said.
"I may have an idea for a name for the little one. One of my favorite people of the Castile region was Queen Isabella the first, the former ruler of Castile. So maybe Isabella is the right name." Splinter spoke.
"Isabella...I like it." Leo smiled and everyone agreed.
"Isabella's a long name, how about we call her Isa for short?" Mikey asked.
"That's great." Donnie replied.
"I like it." Raph smirked.
"Welcome to the family Isabella." Leo smiled and Isa giggled.
