July 2024
On the next day
Tuesday, July 4th
Early morning 2 detectives knocked at Leo's home and luckily the older couple was awake Adelina attended the door since she was close to the front door… "Good morning detectives! How can I help you?" Adelina said to the two guys standing in front of her… "Good morning ma'am! Is Brianna Menjivar home? We have a search warrant against her for being the main author of yesterday's incident and someone called to report the incident last night… We need to search her car!" One of the detectives said to Adelina and she was shocked to hear what he said…
The two Shiba Inu pups came running to bark at the detectives… "I'm sorry but my granddaughter cannot commit such a crime and she loves her boyfriend so much! This must be a mistake and she's a good person and would never do such things… That's impossible!" Adelina said with tears in her eyes as she refused to believe what they told her…
"I know it's hard to believe and you don't know what a person is capable of and I'm sorry that you have to learn this way how she truly is… Can you get her car keys for us please?" One of the detectives said to Adelina… "Yes of course I can!" Adelina said with a broken heart and turned around to get the keys… "Mama, what's going on? Why are those detectives here?" Lucia asked her mom and noticed the tears on her cheeks… "They have come to look for Brianna supposedly she's the main author of last night's incident and they think that she was planning to kill her boyfriend…" Adelina said with more tears running down her cheeks…
"What! No way! This must be a misunderstanding and I know my daughter is not capable of such a crime! Why would she try to kill Leo She loves that guy with all her heart!" Lucia said as she started to shed tears… "I can't believe it either and why would she kill such a fine young man? This must be a plan from his crazy ex-girlfriend!" Adelina said and she went up to the detectives at the door… "Here you go! You need to investigate who is the true criminal in this case and my sweet Brianna is innocent!" Adelina said as she broke out to cry and Lucia went up to her mom to comfort her…
"We have to find out who is the real author but Brianna is the second suspect in this case… We will give it back after we are done searching her car…" One of the detectives said as he handed over the keys to his partner to open Brianna's car… The second detective puts on his gloves and searches the back seat and that's where he finds a notebook and a bunch of papers where she supposedly was writing out her criminal plans to get rid of Leo and kill her own family… "Detective Huffs! I found the evidence of Brianna's plan to kill her boyfriend and even her own family!" The second detective said to his partner…
"Good! Pack everything in evidence zip bags and now we have to find Miss Brianna and arrest her…" Detective Huff said and turned in the key to Adelina and without a word, she closed the door… Mikey and Valentina came downstairs and they saw Lucia and Adelina crying… "Mom! Abuelita! Why are you crying? What's going on?" Valentina said as she went up to them and Mikey stood next to her listening to what they were talking about… "Brianna is being accused as the main author of last night's incident and I know she's not capable of committing such crimes!" Adelina said as she broke out to cry even more… "What! My sister wouldn't do such a thing; besides, she loves Leo so much! I just have a bad feeling that she was set up by Selene!" Valentina said next as she started to shed tears…
"This must be a mistake and why would she kill my brother when she loved him so much? I'm sure this must be a plan from Selene to separate them temporarily!" Mikey said shaking his head in disbelief… "We have to stay strong and support Brianna and Leo through this mess!" Lucia said as she hugged the young couple… Meanwhile, in the hospital, Brianna woke up to the sound of someone knocking at the door… Brianna sat up and stretched out her arms before standing up… "I'm coming!" Brianna said after letting out a long yawn as she went up to the door and opened the door… Brianna's eyes widened as she saw two officers at the door… "Babe! Who's at the door?" Leo said with a sleepy voice and he was clueless that they were coming for Brianna…
"Two police officers are here honey!" Brianna said as she backed away and got scared and startled by why two officers were there… "What? Why are they here babe? What's going on?" Leo said as he started to freak out as he didn't know the reason why they were there… "Brianna Menjivar you are under arrest for being the author of last night's incident at your parent's house and you are being accused of aggravated attempted murder! Anything you say will go against you! Turn around and hands on your back…" The officer said Brianna and Leo were in shock and he couldn't believe that his future wife was being arrested for a crime she didn't commit at all he had so many mixed emotions as he witnessed Brianna's arrest…
"Officer I didn't do anything! This is a misunderstanding! I'm not the one you should be arresting!" Brianna said with tears in her eyes and looked at Leo who was staring at her in shock he sat up trying to remove everything that connected the machines in his bed… "Officer please let her go! I'm Detective Leonardo! She's innocent and she's not capable of doing such crimes! Don't hurt her at least please!" Leo said with tears in his eyes and he got off his bed and went up to Brianna being cuffed his heart was aching with pain to see the love of his life being taken away…
"I'm sorry detective but you know I have to follow rules and I need to take her for further investigations and I know it's hard to believe…" The officer arresting Brianna said to Leo… "I will work day and night babe to investigate this injustice accusation! Please stay calm babe and remember that I will always be with you forever I want you to stay strong and I will do my best to get you out of jail before the babies are born… I love you! I believe that you're innocent! Leo said as he cupped her face and took her in his arms before they walked her out…
"I will stay strong for you my love! I promise and thank you so much for always believing me! I love you with all my heart!" Brianna said with tears and she leaned in close to him to rub her lips against his lips…After the kiss he let her go and walked with them to see her leave and he was in a mess of tears… Just in time the two Terrapin brothers and master Splinter witness the moment that Brianna is being taken away by two officers…
"My son! What's going on? Why is Brianna taken away by two police officers? What did she do?" Master Splinter asked his blue terrapin son who was in a mess of tears… "She's being accused of a crime she didn't commit and I'm sure that Selene is behind all this and she set up everything just to make Brianna the main author of last night's incident!" Leo said looking down sadly and had big tears running down his cheeks…
Raph and Donnie hugged him to comfort him and Master Splinter joined in the hug… "I'm sorry to hear that my son but you will come through this and you will prove to them that she's innocent!" Master Splinter said to his son… "Speaking of which I saw a mutant guy coming out from your driveway last night and maybe he placed all the evidence inside Brianna's car! Do you have cameras outside maybe that will help on this case?!" Donnie said to Leo and he let him go to check the device he always wears on his right forearm and began looking for the video surveillance…
"No, I don't but I've seen the security cameras that we have in the community maybe you can check those instead!" Leo said as he
let Donnie work on that… "How are you wounds Leo? Are you feeling much better now?" Raph asked him as he noticed that he had completely healed… "Wow! No way! That explains why I got up from my bed with no pain! I can go home soon and I'll start working on the investigation to prove Brianna's innocence!" Leo said as he calmed down and hoped to get Brianna back and to prove her innocence…
Meanwhile, in the lobby Adelina, Lucia, and Javier along with the younger couple noticed Brianna being taken away by two police officers… "Please stay strong sweetheart and I'm sure Leo will work hard to get you out of there soon!" Lucia said as she was tearing up and Adelina and Valentina were crying uncontrollably… "You will come through this Bri and please take care of yourself!" Mikey said as he shed tears and they all hugged her before they pulled her away…
"Thank you guys and I will take good care and I'll stay strong for Leo and the little ones growing inside me!" Brianna said and she shed tears… Once they said their goodbyes the officers pulled her away and they stepped into the elevator… The second officer pressed the button to go to the lower level of the building… As soon as they reached the parking lot they went up to the NYPD police car… After placing Brianna in the back seat they drove away to NYPD headquarters… After 2 hours Leo was getting ready to go home and getting dressed…
"So what are we gonna do today since it's the 4th of July?" Mikey said to break the silence inside the room… "We are not celebrating the 4th of July without my Brianna and it's unfair to be celebrating without her!" Leo said as he stepped out of the bathroom and sat down to pack his stuff… "You have a point on that Leo and we can't have a party without a family member missing!" Donnie said next and Raph and Valentina listened to their conversation… "That's right Donnie! Have you found the video footage I asked?" Leo said to his twin brother and the purple terrapin nodded as he took a sip of his drink…
"Yes Leo I have and once I get home I'll give it to you on a USB flash drive! Hopefully, the mutant fingerprints must be fresh on the door handle… I'll take a look at that when I drop you off the USB flash drive… I will be helping you with this investigation Leo and it's not good how they assumed that Brianna is the main author of last night's incident…" Donnie said to his twin brother… "Great That way I can start on this investigation today and I appreciate your help, Donnie! You are the best and having your help with this investigation will make it faster to get Brianna out of Jail soon!" Leo said as he grabbed Brianna's purse looked for his keys inside her purse and took them along with his Wallet and phone…
"Are you ready to go home, my son?!" Master Splinter asked Leo as the rodent came into the room first… Brianna's and Valentina's parents came in next along with Adelina who sat next to Valentina… "Yes Dad I am ready to go home and I just remembered last night I felt someone with gentle energy healing me in my sleep… It felt like Gram Karai's gentle energy so must have been her who visited us last night while I and Brianna were sleeping…" Leo said as he looked at his dad and gave him a gentle smile… "Yes, she did! I talked to her this morning and she told me that… I'm so happy to hear that you are ready to go home, my son…" Master Splinter said to his blue terrapin son…
"I knew that it was her when I felt her energy last night but anyways let's get going home I want to start working with my Brianna's case as soon as possible…" Leo said to his mutant rodent father… "So that means that the wedding is postponed then?" Lucia asked her future son-in-law… "Yes mamá It's gonna be suspended for now till after the little ones are born we will get married a week after the babies are born… I was thinking of getting married in mid-December and having a summer wedding in Bismuna Tara Nicaragua would be the best since it is gonna be very cold here so it will be better to get married in the mutant village chapel…" Leo said to Lucia as he had his car keys in hand…
"That's a wonderful idea my son and would be best to get married down there so the wedding party will be held at the house you two have in Bismuna Tara Nicaragua then!" Lucia said to her future son-in-law… After chitchatting for a bit Raph, Master Splinter ride along with Donnie and they head to his home… Mikey and Valentina ride with Leo back to their home in Garden City and the older couple follows them back home… As Leo drove home he got a call from his captain…
"Good morning Detective Leo I heard what happened to your fiancé and I don't believe that she is the main author of last night's incident… I will try my best to help you keep her safe in a separate cell! Any case she gets transferred to state prison I'll make sure she goes in the isolated cell from the rest of the female inmates" Captain Cameron said through the phone… "Good morning Captain! I know I was shocked to see her get arrested this morning and I don't believe it either… Thanks, Captain, and that will help a lot, and will be at ease knowing she will be safe in a separate cell but I will work my best to prove her innocence… I appreciate your help!" Leo said over the other end of the line as he drove…
Meanwhile, at NYPD headquarters Brianna was being interrogated by one of the detectives on duty… "So Miss Brianna how long have you been planning your crime?" Detective Davis said to Brianna… "Look Detective I have nothing to do with this and why would I plan to kill my boyfriend and family… I'm not capable of such a thing to commit this kind of crime you're accusing me of…" Brianna said with tears in her eyes… "Then why did you have all this in your car then? Also, we have footage of when you attacked your goons!" Detective Davis said to Brianna and noticed the tears on her cheeks as he played the footage…
"That is not mine and I don't know how it got there… I have nothing to do with those goons…" Brianna said as she watched the footage and she was heartbroken that the detective didn't believe her… "Well if you keep denying it then we have to transfer you to State prison tomorrow until your case is solved or you're bailed out by your family which I doubt very much…" Detective Davis said as he put away all the evidence back in the zip bags and stops playing the footage… Brianna broke down to cry and she shook her head in defeat as she was accused of a crime she didn't do… A female officer took her back to her cell and carefully grabbed Brianna as she walked her back to her assigned cell… After a little while Brianna lays down on the bench to cry her heart out she feels so weak and hopeless that none of them believes her she has her hopes high on Leo who will manage to prove her innocence…
2 hours Later
Leo began to work on Brianna's case in his home office and he looked at the file he got from his captain through email… Leo couldn't believe what he was looking at and his heart ached… "Wait a minute! This is not Brianna's handwriting at all!" Leo said as he talked to himself while looking at all the evidence in his hands and looking for the letter she wrote when they first broke up temporarily… After looking in his keepsake box he found the letter and began to compare the handwriting on the evidence and Brianna's letter… "I knew that this was not my Brianna's handwriting! This is Selene's handwriting! I gotta find more of Selene's writing to prove Brianna's innocence" Leo said as he looked through Brianna's letter and then he got up to make a photo copy of Brianna's letter…
"I got to find more of Brianna's writing to distinguish it from Selene's!" Leo said at the end as he put away Brianna's photocopy of her letter and then he went out of his home office and went upstairs to Brianna's small office in one of the rooms they were going settle it for the babies on their way… Once Leo reached her desk he began to search for a full notebook of her writings from when she learned Japanese online luckily he found it and he was so happy that he found more of her writings of old notes from other classes she had at Eastman University…
Leo grabbed all he could from the drawer and once he got what he needed he headed back downstairs… After a few moments, his phone started ringing and Leo placed all the notebooks on his desk and reached out to answer right away he froze when he saw it was from an unknown number but he answered the call anyways… "Hello! Who is this?" Leo said over the phone… "Hey, Leon darling! It's me, Selene! I see you are back home from the hospital and I'm so happy you are safe now! It's too bad that your precious Brianna is gonna go to state prison tomorrow morning!" Selene said over the phone and she grins devilishly… Leo looks for the voice recorder in his drawer quickly puts his phone on speaker and starts to record the call…
"Yes, I'm back from the hospital! What the hell do you want Selene?! Who told you that she is going to state prison tomorrow?" Leo said over the phone and kept the voice recorder on as it recorded their conversation… "I just want to know how are you doing and it has been a long time since I heard from you! I have some intel at NYPD and I'm not going tell you who it is that is working for me and you have to find out who it is!" Selene said as she laughed wickedly over the phone… "You are crazy Selene and I don't want nothing to do with you! Meeting you was my worst mistake ever and you have ruined my relationship with Brianna! You have some people working for you at NYPD then and I will find out who it is pretty soon!" Leo said growling madly at Selene over the phone… "Yes, I do! Good luck Leon! We will see who wins this time!" Selene said chuckling and she laughed wickedly at the end…
"I won't let you get away with this Selene! I will find the ones working for you at NYPD and will bring them down and I won't rest till I get my Brianna out from jail… You are one crazy bitch Selene!" Leo hissed madly over the phone to Selene hung up the call at the same time and stopped to record the call… "Fucking bitch! I hate you, Selene! You have ruined my wedding with my Brianna!" Leo growls as he punches his desk, places his hands on his head in defeat, and tears roll down his cheeks… "Hey Leo what's going on?" Mikey said as he stepped in with a tray of food and drink for Leo to eat while he worked in his home office…
"I just got a call from Selene! She told me that Brianna is going to state prison tomorrow and she has people working for her in NYPD! Fuck she screw me up and now I have to find out who are the ones working on Brianna's case to make her guilty of a crime she didn't commit at all! This is going to take a long time up to late November or Early December!" Leo said as he looked at his younger brother placing the tray on the empty spot on his desk…
"I'm sorry to hear that Leo and I'm sure you will find out soon who are the ones working for her in NYPD! I'm gonna leave you this here and please don't give up Leo I'm sure Brianna will come out by early December!" Mikey said as he placed a hand on his shoulder… "Thanks, Miguel! I will work hard to find out who are the ones working for Selene and I won't rest till I get my precious princess out of jail…" Leo said drying up his tears as he gave Mikey a kind smile… "I'll be in the Entertainment room with my girl and her and Brianna's parents in the entertainment room if you need anything!" Mikey said before dismissing himself…
"That's fine Mikey and be polite and attentive with them! Make them have a good impression on you! Please don't tell them that Brianna is going to prison tomorrow morning I will tell them personally before we all go to bed…" Leo said to Mikey before the orange terrapin walked away… "Don't worry Leo I won't tell them at all I promise!" Mikey said and he walked away when he heard the doorbell ring… Leo nodded as he looked at the tray with his food and began to eat little by little… Meanwhile, at the door, the two terrapin brothers, their mates, and Master Splinter were waiting at the front door…
Mikey smiled as he saw them through the window on the door… "Hey, you guys are here on time I just finished cooking!" Mikey said smiling with joy at the rest of his family… "Hey, Mikey! Where is Leo? I've called him and he didn't answer!" Donnie said as he and Stephanie stepped in together… "Well, actually he's been busy as he got here, and a while ago he got a call from Selene telling him that she got people working at NYPD to accuse Brianna of last night's incident…" Mikey said as he stood with Donnie and Stephanie in the middle of the main living room…
"What! Just as I suspected I will help him find who are those working for Selene! What else did he tell you?" Donnie said and Stephanie just listened to their conversation… "I can't say anything else! You can go talk to him and he will tell you… He's in his home office eating his dinner…" Mikey said to his Purple terrapin brother… "Great I'll talk with him and I want to give him the footage of the security cameras in front of his driveway…"Donnie said to Mikey before walking away and the Orange terrapin just nodded and reverted his attention to his red terrapin brother and rodent father…
"Hey babe! Wait for me in the entertainment room I'll be there soon! I have to talk to Leo right now…" Donnie said to Stephanie as he leaned in to kiss her forehead… "Ok that's fine honey I'll be waiting for you there…" Stephanie said as she walked away after the kiss and she smiled when she saw Valentina approaching her… "Hey girl your looking great! How are you doing?" Valentina said to Stephanie as she hugged her…
"Thanks, Tina, and I'm sorry to hear that Brianna got arrested for a crime she didn't even commit!" Stephanie said as she let her go and backed away slowly… "You're welcome! I have faith that Leo will get her out soon and I know it's gonna be a long process…" Valentina said as she walked with Stephanie to the other living room with the rest of the family… Mikey, Raph, his fiancé, and Master Splinter go to chill with the rest of the family…
Meanwhile, at Leo's home office, Donnie stepped in just in time when Leo was finishing eating… "Hey, Leo! I got the footage you requested and I'm sorry to hear that Selene has some intel at NYPD and we need to find them fast… I will help you find them and you are not alone in working on this case I support you as much as I can… Now I have to find the fingerprints on the door handle of the back seat door of Brianna's car…" Donnie said to Leo as he took a seat on a chair he had next to his desk… "Thanks, Donnie you are the best and I appreciate you helping me with this case I know it's gonna take a long but it's gonna be worth it in the end…" Leo said to his twin brother and he smiled at him kindly…
"You welcome Leo and that's why we are brothers to look out for each other and I know we will get Brianna out of jail soon! Don't give up on the love you have for her! Don't let Selene spoil your relationship with Brianna…" Donnie said to Leo and he smiled at his twin brother… "That's right and will always protect each other and help one another! I appreciate your advice, Donnie!" Leo said to his purple terrapin brother… "That's right! No problem and it's my duty as a brother to support you on everything!" Donnie said next before dismissing himself…
"Thanks Donnie! You're the best!" Leo said at the end and then the conversation got interrupted by a call from Captain Cameron… "Good evening Detective Leo! I have very bad news regarding Brianna!" Captain Cameron said over the phone… Leo's world came down as he thought it might be something worse… "Hello, Captain! What is it?" Leo said over the phone as his heart was beating fast and he almost started hyperventilating… "Brianna is going to State Prison tomorrow morning and there is no bail out of jail in her case… They want more proof and evidence that she is not the author of last night's incident and this case can take up by late December…" Captain Cameron said over the phone… Donnie was standing there watching Leo who had tears in his eyes and was about to burst out crying his heart out and he was not ready for bad news…
"What! No way! What else do they want now?! How am I supposed to explain to my future in-laws that Brianna's case is getting worse?! So that means that Brianna will be having the babies in prison or what?! I will work day and night to get Brianna out of there at least one week before the babies are due in December!" Leo said sobbing uncontrollably he couldn't talk anymore as he couldn't stand it any longer and cried his heart out… "Son! Please calm down and I will make sure that whoever is behind this case will pay for accusing her of a crime she didn't commit! I have a bad feeling that Selene has someone working at the headquarters and two guys act very strange and they are always texting on their phones…" Captain Cameron said over the phone to Leo…
"A few moments ago I got a call from Selene telling me that she has someone working for her at NYPD and she also said that Brianna is going to State prison tomorrow! So we have to find out who are these two individuals working for her!" Leo said as he calmed down for a bit and dried his tears… Donnie walks out and he gets to work to get the fingerprints on the back door handle from Brianna's car… After chitchatting for a bit Leo exits his office and heads to the entertainment room and once he gets there he stands in the middle of the TV and clears his throat…
"I have dire news to say and they are bad news about my Brianna! It pains me to say that she is going to State prison tomorrow morning and in her case, there is no bail available for her… Captain Cameron has informed me that this case could take up the end of December as they want more evidence! I will work day and night to prove her innocence and hopefully, she will be out one week before the babies are due! I promise that I will work hard on this case and we want to find out who is working for Selene at NYPD headquarters…" Leo said as tears flowed down his cheeks and his heart still ached…
"What! This can't be happening! My poor sweet Brianna is gonna spend the rest of her pregnancy in Jail and she has nothing to do with the incident last night!" Lucia said as she began to sob uncontrollably and Valentina went up to her mother to comfort her… "I promise you that I will get her out before she gives birth to the babies and I won't rest till I find whoever is working on this case and I will work hard to prove her innocence… I don't want that either and I miss her already!" Leo said as he broke down to cry and joined in to hug his future mother-in-law and he cried with her even Valentina started to cry…
"Thank you, Leo! I'm sure you will get her out soon! I believe in you that you will prove her innocence…" Lucia said sobbing softly and looked up at Leo… "I won't fail you mama and thank you for believing in me I love Brianna so much! I feel lost without her!" Leo said sobbing uncontrollably and he pressed his cheek on Lucia's shoulder as he sobbed even more and held on to her so tight…
"Hay mijo! I know you do and cry all you want on my shoulder Leo and it's painful to see how a loved one is being accused of a crime she didn't even do!" Lucia said as she rubbed the back of his shell to calm him down… "Thanks, mama! You are the best and I won't give up on Brianna! She means the world to me!" Leo said as he tried to calm himself down but the pain in his heart was so much that he couldn't stop crying… Lucia held him in her arms and she cried with him too… Valentina had tears as she watched them cry and she sat next to Mikey and the orange terrain took her in his arms… Master Splinter got teary as he saw his son crying for Brianna and the rest got a little teary hearing the way Leo was sobbing…
Meanwhile, in the driveway, Donnie finished analyzing the fingerprints in a portable device he had in the back of his SUV… The purple terrapin was surprised when he found out who it was and it was a new guy from his department… "I knew that there was something strange with this guy! Leo must know about this at once!" Donnie said talking to himself as he put away all his stuff after he was done he headed back inside…
"Leo you won't believe what I just discovered! I have the results of the fingerprints and the identity of the person in your driveway the other night…" Donnie said as he entered the entertainment room and noticed Leo sobbing uncontrollably in Lucia's arms… "Leo, are you ok? What's going on?" Donnie asked Leo as he slowly went up to him and stood a few inches from them… "Brianna is gonna be taken to state prison tomorrow morning! I'm not done working on her case and I'm this close to comparing her writing and Selena's writing! I need to gather more of Selene's writing to do the comparison and with that, I will be able to prove her innocence…" Leo said as he managed to calm down and wiped his tears Lucia let him go and she walked away to sit next to her husband…
"Oh, Leo! I'm sorry to hear that but I'm sure we will prove her innocence soon and she will be out by early December before the babies are born! You can count on me and I will help you with this case!" Donnie said to Leo as he stood closer to him and took Leo in his arms… "Thanks Donnie! I appreciate your help very much! You are the best! So who is this person who put the evidence inside Brianna's car?" Leo said as he let him go and leaned against the wall next to the couch where Stephanie was sitting… Donnie took a seat and handed him over the paperwork…
"He is a new guy in my department and his name is John Miller and he's the one who put that evidence in Brianna's car… He is a very strange guy and he's very quiet and avoids eye contact with me every time I try talking to him…" Donnie explained to his blue terrapin brother… Leo's eyes widened as he found out the third person working for Selene… "So that means that Selene has 3 people working for her at NYPD and now we have to find the other two! Tomorrow we will confront those two and make them confess the truth…" Leo said as he looked at the paperwork in his hands and then he looked at Donnie…
"Yes that's right and soon we will get them all three and now we gotta focus on finding the other two guys who are also working for Selene and once we find out who they are we will confront them…" Donnie said to Leo who was reading the paperwork… "Great and I'm sure we will find them anytime soon I can't wait to make them pay for what they did to my princess!" Leo said as he looked at Donnie and then glanced back at the paperwork… "Now that's the spirit, Leo! You can count on me and I will make them talk and I will torture them!" Donnie said to Leo and he took Stephanie's hand as he talked with Leo… "Thanks Donnie! I have to get back to work I need to find more evidence of Selene's writing…" Leo said to Donnie as he folded the paperwork in half…
"Your welcome Leo and if you need anything let me know I will help you!" Donnie said as he did a fist bump with Leo and walked away toward his home office… Once he goes into his home office he starts to work and as soon as he begins he starts to look for Selene's writing… Leo was looking for any particular birthday cards he got while he was dating Selene back then and thankfully he found a few from his birthday, some Valentine's Day cards, Anniversary cards of their relationship, and a few letters from when he was away on a long mission from NYPD…
"This is all I need for now and I'm so glad I have kept these for this investigation!" Leo said talking to himself and he began to work again… After a few moments, his phone rang and he stopped working as it buzzed on his desk he looked at the phone number and couldn't recognize it but had to answer it anyway… "Hello! This is Leonardo Hamato! How can I help you?" Leo said over the phone and waited for the person on the other end of the line to talk… "Hey, Honey! It's me, Brianna! I'm calling you just to say that I miss you like crazy and I love you with all my heart! Please remember that you will always be in my heart no matter what! I promise that I won't give up on you and I hope that you don't give up on me honey I need you more than anything my love!" Brianna said over the phone with tears in her eyes as she was happy to hear his voice before going to sleep…
"Oh, babe! It's so wonderful to hear your voice and I miss you so much beautiful and I love you more than anything! You will be in mine too forever and I promise that I won't give up on you and I will work night and day to get you out of state prison… Please be careful babe when you are there and I don't know what would I do if anything bad happens to you or the babies growing inside you… I feel so empty without you babe and also the house feels so empty without you!" Leo said with tears in his eyes and he controlled his sobs… "Awe honey! I'm so happy to hear your voice too! I miss your warm hugs and I miss kissing your lips! Thanks my love and I'm sure you will prove my innocence and have faith in you, darling! I will be careful mi amor and I also feel so empty and lost without you, honey!" Brianna said over the phone as she was in a mess of tears…
"Hearing you say that brings me joy and thanks for having faith in me it means a lot babe! I miss holding you in my arms close to my heart and I also miss kissing you!" Leo said over the phone as he wiped away his tears with a Kleenex… "You're welcome my love and hopefully I get to see you tomorrow morning before they take me to State Prison I can't wait to kiss you and hug you close to me… I also miss everyone at home I can't wait to see them tomorrow! I have to go, honey! Please stay strong for me and I'll see you tomorrow and have a good night's sleep! Te amo mucho mi amor!" {*I love you very much my love*} Brianna said over the phone as she controlled her tears…
"Yo te amo aun más princesa! {*I love you more princess*}Yes we will see each other tomorrow… I will stay strong babe I promise and I won't fail you at all I can't wait to see you tomorrow! Thanks, beautiful you too sleep tight and sweet dreams!" Leo said over the phone… "Thanks, mi amor! I believe in you so very much and I can't wait to see you too honey! I'll see you then!" Brianna said before hanging up… "You welcome babe! Thank you for believing in me and I'll see you tomorrow hopefully you will see the rest of our family misses you, babe!" Leo said over the phone and the couple hung up the call at the same time… Leo finished up what he was doing at his desk and after he was done he went out of his home office and headed to the kitchen to grab a small snack before joining the rest of the family who were watching a movie…
Once he goes into the family living room he smiles when he sees his father chitchatting with Adelina and the older couple sitting next to her… Leo takes a seat next to his future mother in law… "Have you talked to Brianna mijo?" Lucia asked her future son-in-law as she saw him sitting next to her… "Yes mama I just got a call from her a while ago and it felt so great to hear her voice!" Leo said to Lucia… "That's good mijo! I miss her so much! What did she say?" Lucia said to Leo… "I know I miss her too and the house feels so empty without her! She said she misses me a lot and can't wait to see me and whoever can come with me tomorrow to NYPD to see her before they take her away to State Prison…" Leo said to his future mother-in-law…
Javier smiles as he listens to their conversation and he looks at his wife and then at Leo… "We have faith in you mijo that you will get her out soon from jail and I can tell that you love her…" Javier said to his future son-in-law… "Thanks, Papa Javier it means a lot to me that you two have faith in me and I promise that I won't let you down! Yes, I love her more than anything and she means the whole universe to me! I know it's gonna be the hardest months without her but I will work hard to get her out before December!" Leo said smiling kindly at his future father-in-law and wrapping an arm over his future mother-in-law…
After watching the movie it was time for the two couples to go home… Donnie and Stephanie were the first ones to say their goodbyes along with Raph and Mona Lisa who rode along with Donnie and Stephanie… Master Splinter decided to spend the night at Leo's house and the younger couple along with the older couple went upstairs to get ready for bed…
Adelina and Master Splinter stayed a little longer in the living room chitchatting and Leo smiled as he saw them stay for a little longer in the living room… "You two are getting along pretty well! It's getting late I'm going to bed now I have to get up early tomorrow!" Leo said as he stood in the middle of the big family room… "Yes, my son we are getting along pretty well! Get some rest because tomorrow it's gonna be a long day my son!" Master Splinter said and Adelina smiled at Leo kindly… "Thanks, Dad and yes I do need to rest a lot and I have a lot to do tomorrow!" Leo said as he smiled at his father and then at Adelina…
"You are welcome, my son! I know you do my blue son… You will get through this no matter what but you have to stay strong for Brianna she needs you more than anything and doesn't give up on her at all!" Master Splinter said to his blue terrapin son… "Thanks for your advice and support, Father… I will do it for this strong love I have for my precious princess! Soon I will have her back home! Well, have a good night's sleep Father I'm going to bed now!" Leo said to his rodent father and went up to hug him… "That the spirit my son! Good night Leo!" Master Splinter said as he hugged him back and Leo nodded as he patted his back softly…
Leo lets him go and he reverts his attention to Adelina… "I'm happy to have you here with me Abuelita after all you are part of the family and you are welcome to stay with us as long as you want! Have a good night's sleep and I promise that I will work very hard to get her out as soon as possible!" Leo said as he took her in his arms and gave her a warm embrace… "Thanks, mijo! You are the best and I'm so happy to be here with you and Brianna! I know you will bring her back home soon and I have faith in you too so very much! Good night you too mijo!" Adelina said to Leo and she gave him a sweet smile as she hugged him back the same way…
"Thanks, abuelita! Sleep tight and I'll leave you two alone!" Leo said as he slowly released her and smiled kindly at the lizard mutant old lady… Leo slowly backs away and heads upstairs to his and Brianna's room… Once inside he hurried to get ready for bed and after he was done he laid down on his side… The blue terrapin reaches the empty side of the bed where Brianna lays down and he tears up missing her so much… Leo grabs her pillow holds it close to his face and inhales her scent which makes him cry even more… "I'm sorry you have to go through this babe! It's all my fault for meeting that evil bitch! Please forgive me, babe! None of this would have happened if it was you that I met first back then and sometimes I regret meeting Selene first than you!" Leo said sobbing in a river of tears and after crying for a long time he fell asleep hugging Brianna's pillow…
On the next day
Leo was the first one to wake up and he got ready to go to NYPD headquarters to see Brianna one more time before they took her to State Prison… After he was done he went downstairs to pack all his work in his messenger bag where he had his laptop and his writing accessories… The two Shiba Inu pups pawed his leg to get his attention… "You guys miss her too huh? I miss her so very much! You guys are hungry!" Leo said talking to the Shiba Inu pups as he finished packing his messenger bag with the important paperwork and copies of Selene's writing… "Leo! Where are you, my son?" Master Splinter said feeling a little alarmed as he didn't see Leo in the kitchen…
"Good morning Father! I was in my home office packing my stuff for work… I'm ready to leave now and I don't want to miss the chance to see my princess…" Leo said as he grabbed the dog food from the middle self in the food pantry storage in the kitchen… "That's good my son! I'm sure you must be anxious to see her before they take her away! I'm sure the rest are awake by now…" Master Splinter said to his blue terrapin son and Leo gave him a weak smile as open…
"Yes, Dad! I can't wait to see her n' kiss her and hug her one more time! I hope you are right about that!" Leo said as he finished feeding the pups and filled up their water dispenser with fresh water… Just in time, he was done with the younger couple along with the middle-aged couple and Adelina went up towards Leo who was chitchatting with Master Splinter… "We are ready to go, Leo!" Mikey said as he held onto Valentina's hand… "Yes, mijo! We are ready to go now and then me and Javier are going to meet up with the house insurance agent to do an estimate to repair the house… Then we are going to start looking for a new home!" Lucia said to Leo… "Great let's go! Speaking of which you guys can stay as long as you want I don't mind having you over and it helps me not to feel so alone while Brianna is not here! The house is big enough to have for as long as you wish to stay!" Leo said to his future in-laws…
"Awe thank you mijo that's very kind of you and we will support you in everything and we love you like a son! Yes, let's get going…" Lucia said to Leo and Javier just smiled at them… "You're welcome, mama! Thanks and it means a lot to me I won't fail you 3 at all!" Leo said looking at the Middle aged couple and the mutant lizard old lady… The whole family walked out of the house and once everyone was out Leo locked the door… As he was walking toward his car Leo's phone started to ring… "Good morning Detective Leo! Just to give you a heads up Brianna is going to be taken in two hours and I hope that you're on your way now! By the way, a middle-aged mutant turtle lady is looking for you and 3 other ladies look just like your brothers…" Captain Cameron said to Leo… "Great that way I have more time to see her! Yes, I am! Really and who is looking for me?!" Leo said as he went inside his car…
"Good, I'll see you when you get here! Yes, that's right and the turtle lady looks just like your son, and her name is Leanna…" Captain Cameron said to Leo… "Really? After all these years she finally came looking for me and I never thought of the idea of having a mom that's alive I thought she was long gone and doesn't remember me at all! I'm on my way now! I'll see you both soon!" Leo said over the phone as he pressed the button to turn on his car… After the call ended Leo placed the phone down and he was lost in thought…
"All these years I try to imagine what my real mom looks like and now I get to finally meet her today after so many years!" Leo said talking to himself as he slowly drove off through the gate and two vehicles were behind him… After a 30-minute drive, Leo parked his car in his assigned parking space and the two other Vehicles parked in the visitor's parking area… Raph, Mona Lisa, Master Splinter, Donnie, and Stephanie were waiting for them in the lobby… "Our mothers have come looking for us Miguel and I'm so nervous to go in but I need to go in to see Brianna before they take her away!" Leo said to Mikey as he had so many mixed emotions… "What? No way! Who told you that?" Mikey said as he let out an inaudible gasp as he listened to Leo…
"After so many years we finally get to meet our mom's Mikey! I can't wait to see what my real mom looks like!" Leo said as they stood by the doors to wait for the older couple and Adelina… "I know the same here! I'm nervous about meeting my real mom! Once they go inside they go up to a party of 5 waiting for them… "Before we go inside 4 older ladies are waiting for us to meet them I know that we come from different mothers but we will always be brothers no matter what! We grew up together and we have a wonderful father who raised us now we get the chance to see our moms for the first time! Let's go in and meet our perspective moms!" Leo said smiling with joy and the 3 terrapin guys just smiled at him as they shed tears…
Master Splinter smiled proudly at his terrapin sons and he followed them along with the 3 girls walking behind them and the older couple and Adelina were behind the 3 girls… "Good morning everyone! I'm so glad you made it just in time for the surprise waiting for you four turtle guys! Just follow me this way!" Captain Cameron said as he guided the group to the big conference room… "Good morning Captain! We can't wait to see our moms!" Leo said to his Captain as he followed his lead… Raph, Donnie, and Mikey were nervous and anxious about meeting their moms for the first time… After walking a long hallway they made it to the big conference room…
"We are here now! Just relax and stay calm I'll be right back I have to let the ladies know that you four boys are here…" Captain Cameron said to the 4 terrapin guys before going inside the conference room… "Don't worry we will be waiting patiently, Captain!" Leo said to Captain Cameron and the 3 boys nodded… "Great! It won't take long I'll be right back!" Captain Cameron said and he quickly went inside… "How I have longed for this moment to meet my real mother! I can't wait to see what she looks like!" Donnie said breaking the silence…
"I can't wait to meet mine either I hope she likes me and looks just like me!" Mikey said next… "After all these years I finally get to meet my mother and all these years I always wondered what she would look like!" Raph said next and Leo smiled at their comments… "I'm nervous to meet her too and I have always dreamed of meeting her someday and today I get to finally meet her!" Leo said at the end and gave them a sweet smile and he was happy to finally meet his mom for the first time…
Captain Cameron came back out to get the boys and bring them inside… "Let's go in the 4 terrapin ladies are anxious to meet you guys!" Captain Cameron said as he stepped aside from the door and Let Leo go in first as the door was wide open… Once Leo goes inside he catches a glimpse of his mom looking right at him his legs become jelly and he is speechless to see the true resemblance between him and his mom… Leanna kept her eyes on her son and she gave him a sweet smile the mutant turtle lady was amazed to meet her blue terrapin son…
"You must be Leonardo! Oh, my sweet baby boy! I have missed you so much all these years and finally, I get to see you after all these years…" Leanna said as she slowly approached Leo… "You look just how I imagine you would look like! I always dreamed of having my mom!" Leo said as he slowly approached her and reached out to cup her face softly… Raph, Donnie, and Mikey gasped when they saw how their mothers were Identical to them they couldn't believe what they saw… Raph was in a mess of tears as he went up to his mom and took her in his strong arms hugging her close to him…
Rachel was a little bit shorter than her red terrapin son and she had a small frame with a curvy body shape the dress she was wearing hugged every curve of her body even the spikes on her shell poked through her beautiful dress… "Sweet Galileo! You do look like me, mom!" Donnie said as he went up to his mom and threw himself into her arms gently… Delia was the same height as Donnie and she looked like one of those tall models on the fashion runway as she was wearing a beautiful purple dress she had the same markings on her reptilian skin just like her purple terrapin son and she even had eyebrows drawn…
"Oh, my sweet little prince! I'm so happy to finally meet you in person after all these years" Delia said to her son as she wrapped her arms around Donnie…"Oh, my gosh! I never thought that having my mom could be possible and here you are looking for me! You look just like me!" Mikey said as he kept his eyes on her admiring her petite figure she was a little shorter than him and she had silky black hair and even though she was in her mid-40s she didn't have any gray hair at all… "Oh, my sweet little angel! I have missed you so much! I've been searching for you for a very long time my son…" Marie said to Mikey as she admired how much her baby boy had grown and was happy to see him after so many years apart…
"You don't have an idea how much I yearned to have a mom and here you are in front of me!" Mikey said as he tore up and threw himself into his mom's arms carefully… Leo cupped his mother's face and he tears up as he could see the resemblance with him… "Where have you been all these years Mom when I needed you the most you don't have any idea how I missed having you by my side!" Leo said as he took her in his arms for a warm embrace and broke down to cry on her shoulder and Leanna rubbed the back of his shell as she held him tightly close to her…
Leanna is a bit shorter than her blue terrapin son but she is a bit taller when she wears high heels and she was wearing a blue Victorian-style dress… "Oh my sweet prince I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most but now we will make up lost time and this time nothing will separate us at all! I promise that I will not fail you as a mother! By the way, how is your life going my son? Do you have a girlfriend or wife now?" Leanna said as she noticed the 3 brothers presenting their significant other to their mom…
"My life is good and as you can see I work for NYPD as a detective! My love life is great I have a beautiful fiancé and soon we are getting married but our wedding is postponed to the end of the year because she's being falsely accused of a crime she didn't do… One of my crazy ex-girlfriends set her up to hurt me and ruin our wedding! Right now I'm working on her case to prove her innocence and hopefully, I will get her out by early December soon you will be a grandmother she is pregnant with 4 babies growing inside her… You will see her soon I'll take you to her before they take her away to state prison…" Leo said as he gazed deeply into his mother's eyes… "I'm sorry to hear that my son and I can tell you love her a lot! I'm she must be beautiful and I can't wait to meet her! That's wonderful and how far is she now? What's her name?" Leanna said as she gazed into her son's eyes…
"Yes, Mom I love her a lot with all the strong forces of my heart and soul! Yes, she is very beautiful just like the girl of my dreams she is perfect! She's in the second month of her pregnancy and next month she's gonna turn two months… Her name is Brianna Menjivar and I'm sure you're gonna like her once you meet her she's very sweet and kind…" Leo said to his mom and gave her a sweet smile… "I'm so happy to hear you say that Leo! It brings me great joy to know that you are happy with the girl of your dreams and I'm sure the babies will come out looking cute! I can't wait to meet the girl that stole your heart! She has a beautiful name!" Leanna said to her blue terrapin son and eyed the rest of the 3 terrapin brothers who were interacting with their perspective mothers
"Thanks, Mom and you two will get along! Yes, she has healed my heart from my previous breakup with that evil ex-girlfriend who's trying to separate us! I have to go see Brianna now before she gets taken away to State Prison for a few months… Come with me so that way you can meet her too Mom…" Leo said to his mom as he rubbed her arm softly… Master Splinter was tearing up with joy to see his sons happy with their prospective mothers and even Valentina and Brianna's parents along with Adelina were happy to see the 4 boys happy with their mothers… "That's great my son and I would love to come with you to meet my future daughter-in-law! By the way, is that your father who raised you?" Leanna said to her son as she clung to his strong arm and pointed at Master Splinter who was staring at Leo and Leanna interacting and he gave them a kind smile…
"Yes Mom he is and he's been a wonderful father all these years and he raised me with love and dedication… I want you to meet him and sure you two will be good friends!" Leo said as he took his mom's hand and they walked up to the short rodent mutant… "Of course, I want to meet him, my son! I'm sure we will get along pretty well and I want to thank him properly for raising you right I'm so proud of who you have become!" Leanna said to her blue terrapin son… "Awe thanks, Mom! That means a lot to me! That is so sweet of you to say that!"Leo said as he guided his mom holding her hand in his…
"Hello, my son! By the way, is that your mother Leonardo!" Master Splinter said to his blue terrapin son amazed at how identical his mother looked… "Hey, Dad! Yes, she is and I came to present you, my mom!" Leo said smiling as he placed his hands on his mom's shoulders… "It's an honor to meet the father who raised my son all these years and you've done an amazing job raising them on your own! My name is Leanna!" Leo's mom said to Master Splinter as she held her hand out for a handshake…
"Nice to meet you too and thank you for your kind words and yes I have raised them well so they could have a better life! I'm Yoshi but you can also call me Splinter if you like!" Master Splinter said to Leanna and kissed her hand at the end… "What a good-mannered mutant rat you are! It's my pleasure to meet you, Yoshi! I hope we can become best friends and I'm so happy to meet you! Thank you for raising Leo you did a wonderful job and for raising him for a long time!"
Leanna said smiling kindly to Master Splinter as she shook his hand and then she retrieved it slowly…
"I want you to meet my fiancé's family before we get to see Brianna!" Leo said to his mom as he walked her to where Lucia, Javier, and Adelina were standing… "Hello! Mama, Papa, and Abuelita I present to you my biological mother!" Leo said as they approached them… "Hi I'm Leanna I'm Leo's mom and it's so nice to you and it's a great honor to meet my future daughter in laws family…" Leanna said as she introduced herself and approached Lucia with a handshake… "It's an honor to meet you Leanna and I'm happy you finally found Leo he's just a great guy with my daughter and he's so special to her! You have such an amazing son!" Lucia said as she shook her hand and let it go slowly as Leanna went up to Javier…
"Nice to meet you Leanna and you have a fine young man who loves my daughter very much!" Javier said as he shook her hand firmly and Leanna smiled at him for praising her son highly… "Thank you for your kind words and I can see that now your daughter has captivated my son's heart and I can't wait to meet her…" Leanna said to Javier as she shook his hand and she slowly let it go as she went up to Adelina… "Hello! I'm Brianna's and Valentina's grandmother! My name is Adelina! It's so nice to meet you Leanna and thank you for having such a wonderful son he has a heart of gold!" Adelina said as she shook Leanna's hand softly and let it go softly as Leo walked her out of the conference room and they waited by the hall for the rest of the brothers…
Mikey introduced his mom next to Brianna and Valentina's family and after the former introduction, they exited the conference and went up to Leo and Leanna who were chitchatting… "How long do we have to see Brianna before they take her away?" Valentina said as she stood next to Leo… "We have 2 hours to see her Tina and I don't want to miss it either…" Leo said as he let go of his mom and faced his future sister in law… "We better get going now before time runs out..." Mikey said next as he let go of his mom and looked over to Valentina and Leo…
"Yes let's get going now! Let's go check in with Captain Cameron first!" Leo said to Mikey and Valentina… The rest of the brothers came out with their perspective mothers along with their significant other… Master Splinter, Adelina, Lucia, and Javier go up to Leo and Leanna along with Mikey, Valentina, and Marie… "Whoever wants to come to see Brianna please come with me and it's time to go see her next!" Leo said before walking away with his mom… Rachel and Delia decided to follow their sons along with their significant others to go see Brianna and the rest tagged along with Leo and Leanna who were going to go talk with Captain Cameron…
"Captain Cameron we are ready to go see Brianna now and I hope we have enough time to see her before they take her away!" Leo said as he approached his captain… "You guys are just in time to see her now and yes you have enough time, Detective Leo! Just follow me this way to where she's at right now!" Captain Cameron said to Leo who tagged along with his mom along Brianna's family, Mikey, Valentina, and Marie tagged along with them followed by Master Splinter… Stephanie and Donnie stayed with Delia along with Raph, Mona Lisa, and Rachel stayed behind waiting for their turn to go see Brianna next…
Leo and Leanna followed Captain Cameron along with Brianna's family and Mikey, Valentina, Marie, and Master Splinter walked through a long hallway that led to other cells within the NYPD headquarters… "Where have you placed Brianna at Captain Cameron?" Leo asked his captain as they walked through the hallway… "We are almost there Detective Leo and don't worry she's fine! You gonna see her soon and I'll give you more time to spend with her before they take her away…" Captain Cameron said to Leo who was anxious to see Brianna…
After walking for almost 10 minutes they arrived at Briannas's cell and Leo waited for Captain Cameron to open the cell gate so he could go first… Brianna looked up when she heard noises coming from the cell door and she smiled when she saw Leo and her family waiting for her at the gate she saw a terrapin lady identical to her fiancee and the petite terrapin lady who stood next to Mikey… Leo goes in first in the cell and once he is inside he takes Brianna into his arms and holds her close to him… "Hey, beautiful! I miss you so much, babe! The house feels so empty without you! Last night was a nightmare not having you next to me! I promise that I will get you out as soon as I can babe!" Leo said as he kissed her lips and held her close careful not to crush her baby bump…
"Hola mi amor! I have missed you so much, my love! I felt so empty with you honey! I know you will get me out and I have faith in your words mi sweet darling!" Brianna said as she held close to him and kissed him back... "I have missed you more babe and I'm so happy to hear you say that beautiful... I have someone that I want you to meet and she's my biological mother and she finally found me after all these years!" Leo said to Brianna as he slowly let her go from his embrace looked over to his mom and signaled her to come in… Leanna smiled as she made her way inside the cell and went up to Brianna and she was amazed at her beauty…
"Hello, sweetie! I'm Leanna! So you must be Brianna the girl who stole my son's heart!" Leanna said as she stood next to Leo and Brianna smiled at the terrapin lady… "Hello it's so nice to meet you, that's me! I love him so very much! He means a lot to me!" Brianna said to Leo's mom as she stood right before her… "She's the love of my life and soon I will make her my wife!" Leo said as he took Brianna back into his arms Leanna smiled sweetly at her son and Brianna…
"I'm so happy for the two of you Brianna is so gorgeous and you two make such an amazing couple! I can see that love radiating between the two of you!" Leanna said to Leo and Brianna as they held each other… "Thanks, Mom that's so kind of you to say that and it means a lot to me!" Leo said to his mom as he leaned into Brianna closer caressing her small baby bump… "You welcome my son and I can't wait to meet my grandchildren soon!" Leanna said smiling kindly at Brianna as she watched her son touch Brianna's baby bump…
"Thank you for accepting me and I feel honored to be in Leo's life!" Brianna said next as she looked up at her fiancé and then at his mom… "Your welcome sweetie and thank you for making my son very happy!" Leanna said as she opened her arms to Brianna to hug her next… "You are very welcome and I promise that I won't fail to make him happy all the time!" Brianna said as she accepted Leanna's embrace Leo smiled to watch his mom hug Brianna and he was happy to see how well they were getting along… "I have faith in you sweetheart that you will not fail me on that and the bond between you two is stronger now and nothing can take you two away from each other!" Leanna said as she hugged Brianna warmly and then she invited her son to join in the hug…
"Thanks for having faith in me it means a lot and you are right that nothing can't come between us now!" Brianna said as she leaned in closer to Leo as he joined in the hug… "You two are perfect for each other!" Leanna said as she let go of her son and his fiancee… "Thanks for your kind words, Mom! It means a lot to me you're the best mom ever!" Leo said as he gave his mom a sweet smile and leaned closer to Brianna…
After Leanna finished talking with Brianna it was her parent's turn to interact with her before they took her away… Leo stepped out with his mom for a bit to give Brianna some space to be with her parents and Grandma Adelina… "We are gonna miss you so much sweetie and Leo has already promised us that he's gonna do everything to take you out right before the babies are born!" Lucia said as she hugged his daughter closer to her… "I'm gonna miss you guys so much and I believe in him mama and I know he will get me out of state prison by proving my innocence and that takes a lot of time to do I understand that Leo has to work very hard to get me out before the babies are born! I have faith in him so much!" Brianna said as she hugged her mom even more…
"I'm so happy to hear that sweetheart and you have to stay strong for the love you have for Leo he's a wonderful guy and soon you two will be together again! Also, the little ones growing inside you are very important why do you have to stand strong!" Lucia said as she carefully rubbed Brianna's small baby bump… "Thanks, mama! I will stand strong for Leo and my babies growing up inside me!" Brianna said as she watched her mom rub her small baby bump… "You are welcome my sweet princess and I'm gonna miss you so very much and I have faith in Leo that he will take you out of prison!" Lucia said as she gave her one more hug along with her father… "You are very strong my beautiful daughter and we believe that you are innocent and you're not capable of hurting us or Leonardo!" Javier said next to his daughter and he hugged her next carefully not to crush her baby bump…
"Thanks, papa and I'm so happy to hear that it truly means a lot to me! You guys are the best parents ever and I'm gonna miss you all!" Brianna said as she let go of her father… "You have to stay strong and don't let that witch of Selene win over what belongs to you and she has no mercy for putting you in this misunderstanding! Please stay strong for the love of Leo and the little ones are more important now!" Adelina said as she hugged Brianna next and rubbed her small baby bump softly…
"I will show her that she can't bring me down that easily and I will stand strong and I won't let her win over at all! Thanks, abuelita for your kind words it means a lot and I'm gonna miss you so much!" Brianna said as she hugged her Grandma Adelina… "You're welcome, my sweet princess! I'm gonna miss you too so very much!" Adelina said as she let her go next… It was Valentina's turn to go up to her sister next and Mikey followed her in along with Marie… "I'm gonna miss you so much big sis and we will support you on everything no matter what!" Valentine said to Brianna as she hugged her carefully not crushing her small baby belly…
"I'm gonna miss you too my lil sis! Thank you so much Tina for your kind words mean a lot and hopefully, I'll be out soon so we can spend more time together!" Brianna said as she hugged her sister carefully… "You are welcome Bri! I know Leo will get you out soon he has already promised us all and he even offered Mom and Dad to spend more time with us! Isn't that great?" Valentina said to her sister smiling kindly at her… "That's wonderful news and I'm so glad to hear that please watch over Leo for me and also support him even more!" Brianna said as she smiled back at her sister and then at Mikey who was explaining to his mom about Brianna's situation… "Don't worry Bri we will watch Leo for you and we will support him on every step of the long investigation that he has to prove your innocence!" Mikey said to Brianna as he hugged her next and Marie just smiled at her as she understood Brianna's situation very well…
"Thanks, Mikey! You are the best and please don't let him overwork himself he needs to rest and stay strong for me!" Brianna said to her future brother-in-law as she hugs him… "You are welcome Bri and I promise you that besides Donnie is gonna help him with the investigation too!" Mikey said as he slowly let her go and let his mom hug her next… "Thanks for letting me know that Donnie is gonna help him too with all this investigation! That will help me to stay focused to stand strong for Leo and our babies growing up inside me!" Brianna said as she hugged Marie warmly and then she let her go to exit the cell along with Mikey…
"Show that evil bitch that no one can take away what belongs to you and don't let her win at all!" Valentina said to her sister before she exited next and gave her another hug… "I will show her that she can't bring me down and I will win over her no matter what! Soon that bitch will pay for this for ruining my wedding with Leo!" Brianna said as she hugged her little sister one more time before she walked away… Valentina smiled at her sister as she walked away and Master Splinter entered next with the other two couples…
"I know my son will get you out soon Bri and he will work day and night to prove your innocence! You are now part of the Hamato family and show that evil witch your true strength against her!" Master Splinter said to Brianna as he hugged her warmly… "Thank you so much Master Splinter for your words of wisdom and I promise that I won't fail you at all! I will stand strong against Selene's wrath and I will show her my true power!" Brianna said as she hugged her future father-in-law warmly… Stephanie and Mona Lisa go up next to hug her as Donnie and Raph watch their girls interact with Brianna first… "We are gonna miss you Bri! Leo will get you out of this mess soon!" Stephanie said as she hugged Brianna along with Mona Lisa…
"Thanks, Stephanie I'm gonna miss you girls so much! I know he will and have all my faith upon him that he will!" Brianna said as she hugged Stephanie and Mona Lisa together… "That's the spirit Bri! Don't let that evil bitch win over you or Leo!" Mona Lisa said next as she hugged her carefully… "Thanks, Mona Lisa I appreciate you so much!" Brianna said as she hugged her one more time before she let her go slowly…
Donnie goes up to Brianna and hugs her warmly to give his words of assurance… "In this little time, we know each other I have to learn to love you like a sister, and thank you for making Leo happy all these months! I promise you that I will help him with this investigation and I won't let him work alone on this I will support him on everything I can!" Donnie said to Brianna as he hugs her warmly… "Thank you so very much, Donnie! I appreciate you so very much! That's very nice of you to help Leo and I'm so happy to know that you will support him with my investigation!" Brianna said as she hugged Donnie warmly…
"You welcome Bri! I promise that I won't fail you in helping him and I will always support him he's my twin brother!" Donnie said to Brianna as he hugged her the same way and smiled kindly at his future sister in law… "We will take care of Leo for you and we will watch him not to overwork himself!" Raph said next as he joined the hug with Donnie… "Thanks! You guys are the best for supporting me through rough times!" Brianna said smiling looking at the two terrapin brothers…
After the two brothers said their goodbyes to her they stepped out of her cell and Leo went back in to spend some time with her before they took her away to State Prison… "I will miss you all this time babe! It's gonna be hard for me to sleep in our big room without you! I will do my best to get you out at least 2 months before the babies are born!" Leo said as he nuzzled his snout against Brianna's snout as he held her close to him…
Brianna nuzzled him back and her tail twitched with joy as she loved the way he was nuzzling her… "I will miss you even more and being away like this is hard for me but I have to stay strong for you and our little ones growing inside me! I have faith in you mi amor that you will do everything in your power to get me out soon! I trust you so blindly honey and remember that I love you so very much after all we are destined to be together forever! No one can come between us and nothing will tear us apart!" Brianna said as she tore up crying and held onto her fiancé tightly…
"Thanks, babe for trusting me on this! I know we are destined to be together forever and I love you even more you mean the world to me! It's true nothing can tear us apart and our love will keep us together no matter what! Promise me that you will stay strong for me and the little ones growing inside you?!" Leo said as he broke down to cry with her and held her close to him nuzzling her more as he inhaled her scent…
Brianna looked up at him and she gave him a sweet smile as her tears kept rolling down her cheeks… "I promise that I will stay strong for you and our babies growing inside me honey and you have to promise me that you won't give up on my case even though I'm innocent and I have nothing to do with what happened at my parent's house last night…" Brianna said as she gazed into Leo's beautiful orbs…
"I promise babe that I will never give up on you at all and I will do everything in my power to prove your innocence and you will be out of Jail in mid-November right before Thanksgiving!" Leo said as he kissed her forehead softly and nuzzled her beautiful silky brown hair enjoying the scent of her shampoo… "I believe in you that you will keep your promise as I will keep my promise too mi amor! I love you so very much honey!" Brianna said as she leaned into his shoulder and nuzzled his neck inhaling his alluring cologne her tail twitched with joy enjoying his scent…
"Your words mean so much to me babe and I love you even more princess!" Leo said as he rubbed his cheek on hers for a moment then kissed her cheek next and Brianna kissed his jawline next trailing up to his lips… Leo let a low churr as he was enjoying her sweet kisses and finally, he trapped her lips with his and the young couple kissing in a meaningful way… After kissing for a long time they parted slowly gazing into their eyes and they still had tears in their eyes…
"I'm gonna miss you like crazy babe! The house feels so lonely without you even the pups miss you so much too and they look for you around the house!" Leo said as he took her in his arms one more time… "I'm gonna miss you even more honey and I miss the pups so much too! Please take care of Yuna and Hachi for me mi amor while I'm gone to Jail for 3 months!" Brianna said as she wrapped her arms around his torso and leaned on his shoulder enjoying his arm embrace…
"I promise you that I will take good care of them while you're gone… Please take care of yourself in Jail babe and try to eat something during mealtime I don't want you to starve and remember that our babies need the food that you eat…" Leo said as he nuzzled her hair one more time before she was taken away… "I will take care of myself honey and I promise that I will eat very well during mealtime and I won't starve at all! I know our babies need the food I eat so they can keep growing healthy inside me… Please take care of yourself mi amor and don't overwork yourself while you work on my case!" Brianna said as nuzzled him back inhaling his scent one more time… "Thanks, babe, and I promise you that I will take care of myself and I won't overwork myself till feeling exhausted!" Leo said as he kept nuzzling her…
Brianna leaned in to seal the moment with another more meaningful kiss and Leo accepted her kiss as he kissed her even more passionately… The young couple stood there kissing passionately and embraced in each other's arms… After a few moments, their moment was interrupted as the last 30 minutes were up, and was time for them to take Brianna to State Prison… Lea was in a mess of tears as he watched the female correctional officer handcuff Brianna and he gave Brianna one last hug before they took her away… "Don't give up on me babe and I won't give up on you at all!" Leo said as he cupped her face and leaned in to kiss her lips softly… "Promise my love and please stay strong for me!" Brianna said between kisses…
"That's my good girl and I promise you with all my heart that I will stay strong for you!" Leo said as he gave her another last kiss and this time he deepened their kiss… Brianna was tearing up as she kissed him one last time and soon their kiss was interrupted by the female officer who pulled Brianna away from Leo slowly… Leo broke down as the love of his life was taken by the female correctional officer and he fell on his knees to cry uncontrollably he cried in pain as his heart ached to see his lovely princess go to jail for a crime she didn't commit at all… Leanna goes into the cell to comfort her son and she kneels next to him taking him in her arm…
"Cry all you want my son it will help you release that pain you feel right now and I know it is hard for you to see Brianna being taken away like that!" Leanna said as rubbed Leo's shell softly and held him in her arms like a mother holds her child... "Thanks, mom! Yes, it's very hard for me to see her taken away like that for a crime she didn't even do at all! Brianna means the world to me she mended my broken heart after my break up with Selene two years ago and that's why she's in this mess of being accused of a crime she didn't even do! Selene is behind all this just to hurt me and separate me from Brianna to ruin our relationship! But I won't give up on my beloved Brianna and I will prove her innocence and Selene will pay for hurting me this way by separating me from my beautiful princess! I'm gonna miss Brianna so much Mom that these 3 months will feel like a year!" Leo said sobbing uncontrollably crying on his mother's shoulder…
"Awe honey I'm sorry to hear that your crazy ex-girlfriend is doing all this to ruin your perfect relationship with Brianna and it pains me to see you like this but you gotta stay strong for Brianna my son! I can tell she loves you very much!" Leanna said as she held her son closer to her and kissed his forehead… "Thanks for your kind words Mom and yes I love her so much that she means everything to me we've been together for 2 months and on August 26 we're gonna turn 3 months since on May 26 I asked her to be my girlfriend On my birthday! Making her my official girlfriend was the best birthday gift ever and that's the reason why she means a lot to me and she has helped me to love again after the breakup with Selene and Brianna has shown me the meaning of true love!" Leo said sniffing and looking up at his mother with teary eyes but managed to control his sobs slowly…
"Your welcome my sweet prince and now I understand why you love Brianna so much and why she's important to you in your life… You two make a beautiful couple and I can't wait to meet my future grandchildren!" Leanna said to her son as she kissed his forehead and rubbed her hands in circles on his shell… "Yes, Mom and that's the reason why she means the world to me I love her for everything that she is! Brianna has shown me the true meaning of being loved and with her, I learned to love again after going through a bad relationship with that evil witch of Selene whom I was with for 2 years In the third year we broke up after I found out she was cheating on me with multiple mutant guys she slept with after she went out clubbing on her own while I was working on long missions with NYPD in that time…" Leo said whipping his tears away as he gazed into his mother's eyes…
"Brianna looks very decent young woman and I'm so happy to hear that she makes you happier than your ex-girlfriend I'm so glad that you broke up with that evil witch and now I see why you love Brianna so very much and she does have good qualities no wonder why you fell in love with her in the first place after a bad relationship with Selene!" Leanna said to her son as she nuzzled his head with her snout… "Yes Mom that's the reason why I fell madly in love with Brianna she's very loyal, has a heart of gold, she's so sweet and kind! I love many other qualities of Brianna and Selene lacks every quality that my sweet princess has… Brianna has the qualities that I've been looking for this whole time and meeting her was the best day of my life!" Leo said to his mom as he nuzzled her softly and he gave her a sweet smile talking with his mom helped the pain in his heart go away…
"I can tell how much you love her my son and I'm so happy to learn that Brianna is very different from your ex-girlfriend and I just hope that Brianna never changes at all … I like her a lot already for making my son so happy!" Leanna said as she kissed his cheek next and she gave him the sweetest smile ever… "Thanks, Mom you are the best and I'm so happy to hear you say that about my princess I'm glad that you managed to understand why I love Brianna so much!" Leo said as he held tightly to his mom and kept nuzzling her… "You are very welcome my son and It brings me great joy to know that she loves you the same way you do to her!" Leanna said as she gave her son one last kiss on his forehead…
Leo just gave her a sweet smile and leaned in to kiss her cheek as he nuzzled her one last time before standing up from the floor… "Talking with you helped me a lot, Mom! Thank you so much for helping relieve my pain! I have to get back to work now and I have to work hard to prove my Brianna is innocent! You are welcome to hang out with me at my office while I work on her case and we can have lunch together before you go back home Mom I'm sure you do have a home to go to after we eat lunch together…" Leo said as he stood up first and helped his mom stand up next…
"That would be great my son and that way I get to spend more time with you! Yes, I do have a home and I have two teenage daughters living with me my ex-husband abandoned us when he went after a younger woman and it has been 3 years since he left us… My ex-husband is a hybrid mutant lizard and since he was human before he retained his human-like features I fell in love with his charms he was the most handsome mutant I have ever seen in all of Hidden City… We met at a disco bar 23 years ago and I was 24 when I met him during that time and now I'm 48 years old…" Leanna explained her love life to her son…
"No way! I have two younger sisters! I can't wait to meet them, Mom! Bring them over some time so I can meet my sisters for the first time… I'm sorry to hear that your ex-husband abandoned you three for a younger woman and I'm sure he is such a loser for leaving you for another woman! So that means that you had me when you were 20 years old with another mutant who looked just like me?" Leo said to his mom as he wanted to know who his real father was…
"On my 18th birthday, I met a turtle mutant hybrid who was 2 years older than me and he was also a scientist who used to be a human as well before he got mutated by Barron Draxum… Your father was working with other 3 scientists who were also turtle mutant hybrids that looked identical to your brothers who were also mutated by the same goat man and they were colleagues working together at a lab in the Hidden City as they were still in college… On my way to register for my first classes at the same college, I met your father on campus we bumped into each other and we exchanged numbers since then we have become good friends for 4 months and after hanging out so many times he confessed his feelings towards me and I also fell in love with him…
We started a beautiful relationship while I and your father were still in college… After being in a relationship for a year your father proposed to me on my 19th birthday and two months later we got married it was a cute simple wedding in a small wedding chapel around Hidden City and that was where I met the other 3 women that looked just like your brothers who married to your father's college friends who looked identical to the 3 mutant turtle woman they got married with…" Leanna said to her son who was surprised to learn that he had a father who looked just like him and soon they walked out of the cell…
"My biological father knew Barron Draxum! So that explains why we have human DNA in our blood! My real father used to be human! What happened to my real father?" Leo said in shock to learn his origin… "Yes that's right and that's the reason why he became a scientist to follow in Draxum's footsteps but he wanted to show a better world for mutants to live in peace with humans together… A year later I gave birth to you and your father and I was happy to bring you into the world sure we were young still in college I was 20 years old when I had you and your father was 22 years old at that time…
Your father graduated college after we had you and he went to work at a lab where he got paid well but during the weekends he and his friends worked in a lab they created in an abandoned building around Hidden City… Since he worked the night shift I had the chance to still go to school and he babysat you while I was gone to my classes in the morning since he earned a lot of money at his new job I didn't; have to go to work… I had time to focus on my studies and spend time with you while your father was gone working at his new job during that time…
We had a happy time together just the 3 of us as your father and I worked hard to raise you and feed you good food… Two years later I graduated and worked at Nexus Hotel as a payroll clerk and since I obtained my degree as an accountant administrator I got quickly hired by Big Mama… You were two years old by the time we sent you to one of Hidden City's preschools and I always made time to pick you up from school every afternoon after my shift ended… We were a happy small family by that time I was 22 years old and your father turned 24 years old…" Leanna said as they kept walking the hallway and Leo listened to her quietly…
"Do you have pictures of you and my father when you two had me?" Leo asked curiously to know if his mom had pictures of his real father still since they were college sweethearts… "Yes I do have a lot of pictures of us when we first started to date and I even have pictures of our wedding and we even have pictures of you when you were born… I'll show them to you when you come over to visit us soon at my place… I have them locked in the basement so my ex-husband couldn't touch them to destroy the precious memories I had of you and your father..." Leanna said as they were a few feet away from the rest of the group…
"That's wonderful I'm so happy that you still have them and I can't wait to see them when I come over to your place some other time just give me the address and I'll make some time to come over… I can't wait to meet my younger sisters!" Leo said excitedly and wrapped an arm around his mother's shoulder… "It would be an honor to have you come over to visit us at our humble estate in Garden City and you can come over as many times you want my son!" Leanna said to her son who was surprised to learn that they were so close to each other living in the same city…
"No way I live in Garden City too and I have an estate home on the hills of Garden City! I recently bought that house so Brianna and I could have a bigger space to live in as her apartment was kinda tiny for two couples to live in it…" Leo said amazed and he was happy to know that his mom was living in the same city as he was currently living in… "I live on the estate houses that are blocks away from Garden City Mall which is a gated community and it's a nice and peaceful neighborhood… We live so close to each other my son and we can visit one another whenever you don't have the chance to come over to my place as you will be busy with Brianna's place…" Leanna said to her son as they kept walking…
"Thanks, Mom and that's so very nice of you I can't wait to come over to your house and it would be an honor to have you three come to my place… So tell me more about my father?" Leo said to his mom as he leaned in to give her a quick kiss on her cheek… "After your father turned 25 years old he became a successful scientist in the company he was working for and he still works some weekends in the lab he and his friends created in an abandoned building in Hidden City since he had a lot of money to rebuild the building he worked on the reconstruction of the abandoned warehouse building…
By that time you were 3 and I was 23 years old I was promoted to a higher position at Nexus Hotel and I accepted the promotion that Big Mama offered me and I became a supervisor for the payroll department… Then 6 months later your father's lab got attacked by the mutant rebels as soon as they found out what your father's plans were everything in his lab got destroyed… Since he also works for the EPF part-time on the weekends in his lab and that's the reason why he got attacked by the rebels… Your father got attacked by the rebels and even his friends got attacked as well! The rebels caused the fire in the building and since the 4 terrapins were badly injured they couldn't move out quickly…
So your father and his friends perished during the fire in the building caused by the rebels and when I found out the bad news my world came down crashing I loved your father so very much we never had an argument at all we got along very well…" Leanna said as she starts to tear up as she remembers the night she got the bad news about her husband's death… "That's terrible Mom and I'm sorry to hear that you had to lose my father like that I'm sure he's in a better place now! Too bad I don't remember what he looks like but I can't wait to see all the pictures you have…" Leo said as he stopped walking and took his mom in his arms to comfort her…
"It was one of the hardest moments of my life to lose your father like that and it felt like a nightmare! He was a wonderful husband and we love each other so much! A few weeks after the incident Draxum alerted me that one of your father's enemies was gonna attack us two next and also they were gonna attack the other 3 mutant turtle ladies who had their children since your father's friends were the husbands of the three ladies… Barron Draxum suggested that we hand you over to him and he was gonna hide all 4 turtle tots from your father's enemy at his place and so we did with pain in our hearts all of us 4 ladies handed our kids to the Goat man… That was also one of the hardest parts of my life I didn't have any choice at that moment but I had to save my life and your life…
After we left you all 4 with Draxum we all 4 ladies headed back home to pack our stuff after packing our stuff we met at Hidden City train station and we took a train that would take us to other parts of Hidden City and away from your father enemy…" Leanna said as she laid her chin on her son's shoulder and cried even more as she remembered that night she parted away from Leo… "So that's how we ended up at Barron Draxum's lab then he held us there to hide us from my Father's enemy then… I'm sorry you had to go through that Mom and now we are back together nothing will tear us apart ever again! Now we have all the time in the world to make up for the time we have lost while we were separated for so long! I'm so happy to have you back in my life!" Leo said to his mom as he rubbed her shell softly and kissed her forehead softly and Leanna smiled at him for his kind words…
Thank you so much my son and hearing you say that brings me great joy! We will cherish every moment together and we will catch up on the time we have missed all these years… We have all the time in the world to spend together as mother and son! I can't wait to meet my grandchildren! They will look so adorable since Brianna is so beautiful and you are very handsome your babies will come out looking so cute!" Leanna said as she looked up at her son… "I can't wait to meet the little ones too and yes they will come out looking so cute!" Leo said as he let go of his mom they started to walk again and they finally met with the rest of the group…
"Well mijo, it's time for us to go and meet with the insurance inspector who's gonna inspect our damaged home…" Javier said as he gave him a warm embrace and patted his shell softly… "That's fine papa take your time and please let me know if you need more help with the repair of your house I'm willing to help…" Leo said as he returned the hug the same way his future father-in-law did… "Thanks, mijo! We appreciate your help very much and yes we will let you know if we need help with it but for now, I'm thinking of repairing the house and selling it to buy a new one in Garden City…" Javier said to his future son-in-law…
"That's a wonderful idea papa and that way we will be closer to each other and you guys can come over more often!" Leo said to his future father in law… Javier nodded and let him go and it was Lucia's and Adelina's turn to say their goodbyes next… Valentina and Mikey said their goodbyes to the older couple and Grandma Adelina… Donnie, Stephanie, and Delia said their goodbyes next followed by Raph, Rachel, and Mona Lisa along with Master Splinter… Master Splinter said his goodbyes next and he followed his red terrapin as they were the second to walk out of the building…
"Hazel and Cassandra will be happy to meet you, my son!" Leanna said to Leo as she watched him hug his adopted father… "They have beautiful names Mom and I can't wait to meet them soon!" Leo said as he let go of his father and reverted his attention to his mother… "Yes they do my son and they are so beautiful they have my looks when I was their age but they do have a lizard form because of their father but they have my skin color and facial features and expressions…" Leanna said to her blue terrain son… "I'm sure they look beautiful like you Mom and I can't wait to meet them! Let's go to my office I have to get to work on Brianna's case!" Leo said as he took his mom's hand and led her to his office… "Thanks, my son! Great I promise you that I won't interrupt and I just want to spend more time with you as I watch you work with Brianna's case!" Leanna said as she followed Leo to his office…
