Ralph sighed looking threw the portal. It's been three days. He was scared to leave the hospital untill he knew he was readdy.

He looks down at illilia, who was curled up in a small white basket of some sort, fast asleep.

It was time for him to go home and tell his brothers everything.

Smileing at his little girl Ralph steps into the portal.

The way back felt like he was being stretched and he held Illilia closer to him. He sighed in relief as he steped out into his room.

Silently he looked around his empty room. It felt nice to be back home. Setting his child's basket down he kissed her forhead before heading out of his room.

Ralph headed to the kitchen where he could hear his brothers voices telling him they were making breakfast. He got closer untill he could see them.

Mikey was making eggs, Leo was slowing eating, and Donnie was talking about some strange device to Mikey.

"I'm home."

Ralph ment to say the words softer but it came out loud, almost rough as he felt a little uneasy to tell them everything.

Mikey seemed to teleport onto Ralph tackling him into a hug, that Ralph surprisingly returned before looking up at a upset Leo and a consernd Donnie.

"Ralph where have you been?" Leo asks at the same time Donnie said "you never been gone that long before!"

Ralph shook his head softly. "I guess I should explain everything. Stay here, I'll go get her then I'll tell you everything."

Ralph pried Mikey off him and went back to him room grabing his daughter and heading back.

Leo saw the child and staired silently. Donnie felt questions run across his mind. Mikey however squeeled. "Wow she's so cute! Who is she's!?" He asks.

Ralph chuckled.

"She's mine."

Ralph held his hand up before they could get a single word out.

"Let me explain."

The three turtles nodded sitting down as Ralph began to talk.

He told them how mona and him made a plan to make a way for them to continue to see one another. About how the portal hidden in his room was how they did it.

He explained that all the times they could not find him was because he was not their, but with mona.

He felt strange telling them she was the reason why he came back a little banged up a week and a half ago. But he quickly told them she was acting out because she was pregnant.

As soon as he was done talking he looked at his brothers.

Leo looked down at the child mostly surprised. "So Raphael is a father?"

Ralph did not like how unserten his elder brother sounded.

Donnie was not looking at the child, but stairing off into space mumbling. "Our brother and a alien conceived a child together..?" He traled off mumbling more unheard words.

Mikey looked exsided. "I'm an uncle!?" He yells happly.

Ralph noded his head softly.

"Ralph, you could have told us about all of this, we would have been fine with it..." Leo said softly after a few moments.

"Beleave me, at times a almost blurted it all out. But I kept it to myself. It was nice to have my free time with mona, a place where I could get away from earthly problems."

Leo nodded as if he understood while Donnie looked at Ralph. "Do you think I could look at this portal later?"

Ralph noded his head.

"Don't mind. But are you all OK with this? I don't want my child to intrude in your everyday life."

The three were mostly shocked by the way Ralph sounded, as if he did not live their with them.

"Ralph it's fine. Were happy to help you untill mona gets out of the hospital, and we will do all we can to help." Leo says pating Ralph's shoulder gently. Ralph noded slightly happy his brothers understood.

"Yes. We will help you even if f it's strange. But two thangs."

Ralph looked over at Donnie who was now inspecting Illilia.

"One. How do you plan to raise her, and two how to tell splinter."

Ralph froze.

Oh yeah.

Splinter.
