- August 16, 2021 -

The young raphanardo got used to doing his ¨hashi¨ for the moment as Leo says, although spending time with Leo he liked doing mother and son things, his father does not seem very upset with him even if he tries to escape outside behind him. his mother, the one in red, always carries him inside again; Especially at patrol time, when he tries his best to make Raph stay, but he always gets what's missing and continues his plans.

It was early morning, the three of them were asleep if it were not for something that seems to bother the father in the red bandana, as if he had a nightmare ...

- Raphael's dream -

He was outside running in the rain, he recognizes the forest .. he is close to home, but he feels a chill that runs through his shell ... something was wrong as soon as he saw the house, it was destroyed, he enters as stealthily but everything changes for the better. state, he meets leo and raphanardo ... they seem asleep, he calls them they do not respond, he calls them with his shriek .... he does not answer, he approaches.

Raphael: He takes Leo's shoulder and moves it, it's cold - Leo .... Leonardo? - A huge cut in his throat the blood appears around him, he looks at raphanardo .... - What, no no ?! - A katana pierces him - What is happening !! - shouts.

???: Look at raph - The leader could not protect his son and the rebellious father could not protect what he loves the most or did he not really want them? - He said in front of Raph.

Raphael: He growls - Why did you do this ?! - he screams, he wants to attack but a very great weight is felt in his heart especially when he sees the child - He was just a boy! - He growls louder.

¿¿¿???: Behind raphael - But he deserves to die, he was not worthy, like his disgusting mother who for "love" leaves everything she has achieved, and waiting for another ... - he said.

Raphael: Go to Leo's belly .. he was pregnant - Damn !! - he screams choked in tears.

A shadow hangs over him, and he begins to surround himself and then jump on him ... he just embraces what he loves most ... his family, dark ...

- Raphael wakes up -

Accelerated breathing and sweating, he sits to see leo awake, somewhat worried, raphanardo still asleep with his stuffed animals and bandanas, a hand on his shoulder and looks at leo, but he gets up to go downstairs, leo gently gets up to follow him in silence but still worried. Leo follows him, they go to the dojo and while Raph places the punching bag and starts hitting him hard, he brings a kettle and some cups, he stays sitting on his lap.

Leonardo: Sigh - Will you tell me why you woke up? - The question.

Raphael: Keep hitting the bag ignoring Leo.

Leonardo: A little tea is served - Did you see a nightmare? - The question.

Raphael: He stops the sack with one hand - What makes you think that? - The question.

Leonardo: Have tea - Well, I woke up because you were moving around a lot, your face was soaked with tears, you were sweating and breathing rapidly ... - he said - I bet it was because we were dead ... am I right? - He asks, gets up and takes a few steps to Raph.

Raphael: He turns to see it - What if it could have been the case? - said.

Leonardo: Looks him in the eye - You see that dream ... at the same time, but only this time, you were the one who died together with raphanardo - he said he approaches Raph and puts his hands near Raph's hand - We will be well, together, as always, nothing will happen - kisses him.

Raphael: Responds and separates - Who knows? - Said looking at Leo's blue eyes, he puts a hand on his cheek - You were going to have another baby and your belly was a bit big ... the little thing was moving but you were dead .. - he said.

Leonardo hugs him so that he lets go of everything ugly in the dream ... or nightmare that was the truth of that, raph kneels to hug Leo around the waist and feel ... safe from the one he loves the most, Leo caresses his head uncovered, she sticks her head on Leo's chest ... smelling it and begins to calm down, Leo's soft voice while humming a lullaby, they turn to see the entrance. It was still somewhat sleepy from Rapanar. they go to their room to rest.

When the sun begins to rise, the rooster crows and wakes up the two who fell asleep too much, some sounds come from outside, they draw their weapons to be ready in case of an ambush, the door opens with the help of umi letting them in to raphanardo with a tray of food for the three of them.

Raphanardo: With the help of umi - Hello, I made breakfast - he said.

Leonardo: He holsters his katana again - You alone? - He asks helping him with the tray.

Raphanardo: Nods - Hayabusa, umi and sachiko helped me - he said, sitting between the two of them - I already fed the chickens, umi and sachiko, hayabusa, and the horses - he said.

Raphael: She looks at him with a frown - And did you go out? - The question.

Raphanardo: Denies - I gave umi and sachiko first, fix the house and then hayabusa, they gave it to the horses and before going up, I tied the chicken feed to sachiko, hayabusa opens her door and they come out behind Sachiko and when they finish the bag he will put them in their cage - he tells them his plan.

The two parents look at such a meticulous plan to do everything without leaving the house, the three of them eat in silence, toasted bread in the microwave and cereal, well if that could be done by himself it's fine, but the scrambled eggs with the sausages They were the icing on the cake.

Raphael: Finish and leave the plate on the tray - It was very good - he stretches, rattling his neck bones - Well, I'm going to the field - he said, stopping and changing.

Leonardo: Hug raphanardo - Let us out, please? - He said looking at Raph and using his charm.

Raphanardo: He does the same as leo - Please, yes? - makes eyes at him.

Raphael: She puts on her skirt sighing - Good - he said making me jump happily - But you'll be close to us, helping - he said, earning a little snort.

Leonardo: He takes off his hakama along with his shirt - Hehe, you must be more specific Raph - he said, dressing quickly.

The three of them go out, for the child who spent 1 month and a whole week day and night crying to go out and now that he cannot go where he wants, he stays near Leo while he does the laundry, well he can go out while helping his mother. Although what his father does in the fields that are beginning to grow was more interesting, he climbs on the wooden fence to see him more, a hand on his head scares him.

Raphanardo: He turns around, it was leo - Mom, what were you doing with raph in the dojo? - He asks, following Leo up the wooden steps to the shore where he usually wash leo in hot weather.

Leonardo: Get back to business - Well, your dad couldn't sleep ... - he said.

Raphanardo: He climbs into the leopard shell - is Raph still mad at me? - The question.

Leonardo: Denies - No, he's just assimilating what happened yet - he said while rinsing - He's just worried - he said.

He puts it ready in a woven basket and takes it to the rope followed by Leo, he was as helpful to his mother as much as possible while Raph who doesn't seem to see him does it, the one in red walks around seeing Leo and Raphanardo, they were already finishing; perfect timing and remember going fishing, they were already running out of fish.

Raphael: He crosses his arms - (Just do it ..) - he said to himself, take a breath - Raphanardo, get ready, you're going to accompany me - he said.

Raphanardo: Deny - I help mommy - he said.

Raphael: He looks at him narrowing his eyes - You're doing everything except helping him, see he's almost finished - he said, showing the little boy's bag.

Leonardo: He kisses his son's forehead - Go with dad, you're good - he said with a smile.

The somewhat insecure 3-year-old turtle goes with the muscular one in red, for once he felt "special", very rare was the moment that Raph took him alone and willingly to do something, like go fishing. They were near the lake that was most visited by curious humans on their vacations, or in their case the small place that was difficult for them to see; He gets off the black stallion and his son before unpacking the fishing gear.

A naringata and a basket without forgetting the bow and arrows, let the little one play where he sees it and takes off his jacket and fixes his pants, goes through the rocks to prevent the fish from wandering away, the little one seems a little interested and in special for the water.

Raphael: You see him sitting sad - Hey .. - Get his attention - Why don't you eat some blackberries? - He said pointing to the bush.

Raphanardo: Denies - Mama says that if I eat something that none of them have tried, don't do it! - said.

Raphael: Look at him - Didn't you think that when you were with the humans? - he said aloud.

Raphanardo: He crosses his arms and turns to give him his shell - You're bad, I don't love you! - yells.

Raph listened attentively but let it pass while he spears directly into a fish and puts it in the basket, a while later he already has 25 large fish, he turns to see the little one who licks his lips while looking at the water, look up .. has the morning passed so quickly? He approaches the shore through the rocks and stands behind his son, takes a somewhat large fish to sit on and takes a kunai to take out the guts, he secretly eats them, the little one sniffs a little and watches Raph do his thing; Then he removes the scales taking his time, but watches the little boy squeak a little.

Raphael: He chops a piece, removes the thorns and spreads it with his hand - Eat - he said, while putting a piece in his mouth.

Raphanardo: Ashamed, he denies - It's crude - he said not very confident or disgusted.

Raphael: Swallow - Come you're a turtle .. - He said eating another, he takes it from his jacket and puts the piece in it - If you spit it, it will return to your mouth - he said seriously.

Raphanardo: He swallows but the taste ignites his instincts - More! - He wags his tail, and bites the fish, a warning growl from Raph does not stop him.

Raph doesn't seem to bother when his own instincts appear, he tries to eat but the little one doesn't want to share the food, from one moment to the next there was no meat in the skeleton of the fish; raphanado tries to get another fish out of the basket but raph gets up and goes into the water.

Raphanardo: He stays on the shore - What are you doing? - The question.

Raphael: He makes a sign to him - Come, I'll teach you - he said, he wouldn't use the naringata or arrows.

Raphanardo: He gets into the water - It's cold - he said advancing until his knees were covered, wetting his pants.

Raphael: Look at it - You're like your mother, nothing makes you happy - he said jokingly - Well, look down and when you feel something move near your feet - put your hands quickly and pull out a fish - You see it's easy - he smiles at her .

Raphanardo feels that the water is moving, he stays still, he makes to catch but does not catch anything, a few more tries, and his eyes shine when he sees one in front he puts his hands and raises them fast, it was huge .. but he moves a lot and He drops it, he won't let it go He gets into the water, grabs it, but he takes it and stops when it seems to get stuck, they lift him and the fish.

Raphael: Who lifts it up to his eyes - You caught something .. - he said seriously - Try not to drag you into the deep for the next time - he said, while taking him to the shore and leaving him.

Raphanardo: He nods with a smile - Hai, look it's big - he said carrying it over his head - It's for mom - he said.

Raphael: Nod - But let's go now, put him in with the others - he said.

Raphanardo: Denies - No, I took it to mom, you ate my cake! - He said angrily and points at it.

Raphael: He looks at him offended - You don't talk, you ate my dessert! - He said in defense.

Raphanardo: Denies - It wasn't me! It was mom! - He said with his cheeks somewhat red - He while I was playing with sachiko and umi, he went to the fridge and took it out - he said, without further ado but looks nervous.

Raphael: He sees that he's lying - You're lying, your mom doesn't eat something that has a note on it - he said.

Raphanardo: Freezes - Note ?? - He said - (He has caught me) - he told himself in his mind.

The older of the two does not continue the ¨debate¨ about the desserts and the cake, picking up the things they left behind, raph raises the little one in daichi while he decides to go on foot, the little one takes care of the precious treasure for his mother, they pass through a field with flowers.

Raphanardo: Point to the flowers - Let's take some flowers to mom! If he's angry with you, he won't be anymore - he said with his adorable smile.

The turtle in red carefully goes down to look for things or flowers, on the way raphanardo takes them while raph leads Daichi by the reins, the boy has to ask a question, but they already get home, Leo finishes picking up the clothes and receives them with a smile; the little one got off the horse running to leo with the flowers, it was already afternoon.

Leonardo: Hug the little one - How did it go? - He asks, kissing Leo's forehead.

Raphanardo: He extends the flowers - For you, we fish and this too ... - Raph takes out the fish and gives it to the boy - I caught it - he said.

Leonardo: Look surprised at Raph - You alone? How well are you learning! - He said as he entered the house - Today we will eat fish .. - Taking the big fish.

Raph stays with raphanardo, they watch TV for a while waiting for dinner, and they help leo to set the table, they sit down and eat every night but something changes in raph just before going to the patrol, he stares at them.

Raphael: Look at them - Change they will accompany me today - he said.

Raphanardo: Look at it - Really? With everything and punishment ... will you let me go? - The question.

Raphael: Nod - Yes, you have behaved well .. - He said looking at Leo with a smile.

Leonardo: He nods and puts on his jacket - Well done - he said with the sheath of his katanas on his back and a bow with arrows.

Raphanardo: With his sais and so much - Done! - as a soldier.

Raphael: Nod - It will be as brief as possible .. - he said.

Leo looks for the hawks that were 5, each not with their gps and their cameras, connected to the phones it was easier to see when everyone was outside, the hawks unfold in the night sky. The three follow them, alos2 stays with umi and sachiko being a very small raphanardo, he has to go with leo or raph so as not to have problems with being found.

There was only a short time left for the transition and precisely from the neighborhood to the city, they put on their hoods, it was only a short time to get to where they normally go, but roam between the cars that come and go, they see a mini-van ... they have to go up fast or turn around. The two clans stare at each other, they pull the reins to one of the climbing buildings as quickly as possible, they manage to disappear from unexpected visits ... they try to continue with the patrol as if it were normal, in a tall building under construction they leave the little one leave.

Raphael: He takes some photos from his pocket - Here, they are the photos you asked me to - he said giving them to them.

Raphanardo: Take them - Thanks dad - he said seeing them with a huge smile.

Leonardo: Seeing the city - That was close - he turns to Raph, the 5 hawks rest on the rafters - They surely saw us - he said, checking hayabusa.

Raphanardo: He extends the photos to Leo - Look mom! - He gives them - Can I go there sometime? - she asks her mother and father.

Raphael: Arms crossed - You're right, it was close but, they didn't see us - he said look at Leo seriously - Now this is our environment - he said kissing Leo - They won't be able to locate us so easily - he said, caressing Leo's cheek, passing her fingers between the scaly smooth skin and the blue fabric.

Raphanardo: Hit Raph's leg - Leave Mommy! - pouts.

Leonardo: Carry Raphanardo, keeping the photos in the child's bag - This is safer in your bag - he said and kisses his cheek, then Raph's - It's time to go - he said.

The little one begins to cry, when I read he checks it was the small cut in his arm made by a shuriken, his eyes are covered with the protective membrane, raphanardo takes shelter in the basket and the hawks fly to look for who it was, some figures in the shadows appear. The shadows approach, Leo draws his bow and arrow, Raph draws his sais when the two figures are shown ... they were Mickey and Donnie.

Leonardo: Lower the bow - Makey .. donnie! - he yells when he sees them ... happy, but he changes to angry ... they weren't his brothers.

Michelangelo: His expression was not the same as always - The sensei splinter wants to see you - he said serious and cold.

Raphael: He looks at him angrily, but remembers that he was pregnant before - Where are your babies? - He asks, without attacking.

Donatello: He adjusts his glasses - They are with the sensei - he said only.

Leo knew that something was wrong ... the sensei ... took away ... the babies .. his babies from his little brother ..., signs of having given birth recently and with discomfort in his body from the breasts .. .it was not the time for a fight .. he takes a smoke bomb and raph follows him to escape; A huge feeling of anger grows in both of them but they don't want the little rapper to get hurt or more than he is.

They go down the service elevator cable, the faster they leave the place the better, nozomi and daichi wait for them down in the alley, they go up and make them run, donatello and mickey were behind them, but they left them behind for a few minutes. From one moment to the next leo looks back they were being followed in the van.

Raphael: Look at leo - I'm going to entertain you, take raphanardo, I'll come after you - he said, turning Daichi around.

Leonardo: Sigh - Well raphanardo, we listen to Raph - he said with Nozomi's reins in his hands, he placed the basket in front.

Raphanardo: Stick your head out - Why did they attack us? - question.

Leonardo: Denies - They are like daddy and mommy were, they only love their babies like daddy and I love you - he said.

On the way home, Leo can't stop worrying about his partner, while Raph takes a kind of pacman to the other two, with daichi more "maneuvering" than any vehicle, managing to confuse and make them get lost. He calls Alex and Tachyon, informs them of his brothers and they inform the officers about two turtles that can be aggressive in any case; take the way back home.

Arriving home, he meets Leonardo worried and they both know why, but his son is still small ... they will tell him tomorrow, the truth ... now Leo finishes treating him, takes him to sleep; The two of them stay to talk for a while, about telling him and how ... to save his brother and nephews.

- A few weeks later, November 4, elsewhere -

The orange turtle stays covered by a blanket, the purple one gives him the information about the other two and the little one, the sensei nods in the video call and shows the two children making the blue-eyed one look at the screen, see to her 2-year-olds and her baby just 4 days old. At the end of the call, the orange turtle starts to cry and is hugged by the one with glasses, sighing, the two try to control themselves ... but a pain inside does not leave them alone, it is their fault ..

- In New York -

The now two-year-old with glasses was looking out for his younger brother, the sensei splinter takes good care of them while his mommy and daddy do what he says, how much they miss them, not only he but Michetello who is not very happy to be away of his mother and father; hear the little one cry. He looks like his mother in chubby and short, freckles and a soft green color, with even a smile ... if it weren't for his yellow eyes and scary snake gaze.

Donatellangel: She approaches the crib - Shhh, I know you miss Mommy ... - she said, she didn't want to carry it ... her mother told her it was too small to carry it - They will be back soon - she said.

Sensei splinter: Look at the two of them - Pass me the bottle, he's already hungry - he said with his fatherly experience, he carries the little one.

Donatellangel does what the sensei asks of him, if there was a place where he can take his family to be safe ... he started reading or pretending to read to see his brother ...
