~Almost an hour later in Leo's Perspective~

I groaned as I opened my eyes to see that I was back on the ship. I looked around to see that Haylie was there, who was asleep. But I smelled a familiar vanilla essence wrapped around me. I looked over at my left side to see that Aqua was there! I got off of her, trying not to wake her. But I heard her moan. 'Uh oh...'

~My Perspective~

I woke up due to movements at my side. I rubbed my eyes and Leo was at my sights. "Leo!" I tackled him into a hug. "Thank god you're okay!" I licked his cheek.

He chuckled lightly, then he frowned. "Aqua..."

"Yeah?"

"Aqua, I'm so sorry that I was rough on you. I didn't mean to yell at you, it broke my heart that I did it to you. It made you cry, I didn't like to see you crying. And it would break my heart even more if you got hurt..." he looked down.

"Aww Leo." I hugged him and wrapped my tail around him. "Of course I forgive you. But I could take care of myself you know. But I'll stay by your side, I promise you this."

He wrapped his arms around me. "Mi amor~" he said as he hugged me more as I hugged him more.

~Haylie's Perspective~

I woke up to churrs and purrs to see that Leo and Aqua were awake. They were both hugging. "Aww, cute!" I smiled.

Aqua turned around. "Hey sis." she smiled at me.

I smiled. "Hey sis. You guys made up?"

"Yes we did. And now we're much closer than ever." she rubs noses with Leo.

He chuckled as he rubbed noses back with her.

I laughed and blushed about what Raph told me. I cleared my throat. "Um Aqua? Can I talk to you?"

"Of course sis. You can tell me anything." she said as she was crawling up to me.

"You don't have to be near me, we can talk in Spanish."

Leo grabbed her waist and made her sit on his lap. "Okay good. Because I want her with me."

She giggled and cleared her throat. "De acuerdo Haylie, estoy listo."

(Translation: "Okay Haylie, I'm ready.")

"Está bien, pero tienes que prometer no decir a nadie más. ¿Bueno?"

(Translation: "Okay, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Okay?")

"Cruzar mi corazón y la esperanza de volar."

(Translation: "Cross my heart and hope to fly.")

I took a deep breath in and said it to her. "Estoy... embarazada del hijo de Raphael." I blushed.

(Translation: "I'm... pregnant with Raphael's child.")

~My Perspective~

I gasped at the news and clapped. 'Whoo hoo! I'm gonna be an auntie!!' I was internally screaming in my thoughts. I looked up to my sister. "Felicidades Haylie! ¡Estoy tan orgulloso de ti!"

(Translation: "Congratulations Haylie! I'm so proud of you!")

I saw her smiling big and hugging me. "Gracias Aguamarina."

(Translation: "Thank you Aquamarine.")

I hugged her back with a smile. "De nada Haylie."

(Translation: "You're welcome Haylie.")

Haylie pulled away and smiled. "You can tell him if you want."

"Okay, um Leo..?"

"Yes?" he asked.

"Haylie's pregnant... with Raph's child."

"Seriously?! But why?!"

"Babe calm down, they wanted to have this baby. Please don't make them remove it, it's too cruel."

I saw him sigh and rubbed the back his head. "I don't know what to do. I don't know if Raph is mature or calm enough to have a baby. I barley knew if he could have a girlfriend."

I looked back at Haylie who released me and backed away from us. "No!"

"Leo. Listen to me. I'm gonna find a way for Raph to handle his stress and anger. He'll turn over a new leaf and prove to you that he's worthy of being a mature anger-free turtle man." I said.

He looked down at me. "Yeah but how long is that going to take? The amount of time until that baby is born? Because that's how long it has to be for him to change or else I will have to... take the baby's life..."

I gasped and teared up. I ran over to Haylie who was holding her stomach in place and whimpering too. I growled in my defense. "You'll see. Raph will be a changed man. Starting tomorrow, on day 1 of his Anger Management session."

"Okay. If you show me that he can be not so angry all the time, then yeah I'll let them keep it. But for the time being, I think Haylie should stay away from him until you can help."

"But..." Haylie started.

"Leo, this isn't fair for them. It's like a punishment for them."

"What if you make him angry about talking about his anger then his eyes turn white, and he doesn't think and hurts her and the baby. Wouldn't you want her to stay away from him also?"

"Of course I don't want that to happen." I crossed my arms.

"Neither do I, but I'm just trying to think of the best solution for them."

"The. Why don't you talk with him? Haylie told me that he's been improving, even I've seen it."

"Hmm..." he started thinking.

'Oh great, now he's gonna think...' I clenched my fist, wanting to knock him out of his senses. I looked over at Haylie who grew mad, went over to Leo, and slapped his cheek. 'Oh my god..!' I grew surprised.

"You have to believe me! Raph isn't like he was a long time ago! He's so sweet and nice to everyone! And if you don't see that then you're blind! And he's the only man in my life that had ever loved me! And I don't care if he has issues so do I and so do you and everyone else! You just have to get past that part of the person and see who they really are then you would see he can raise a family with me!" she shouted.

Leo rubbed his cheek, then he looked at me, then made his choice. "Okay. I'll spend some time with him and have a talk with him. Until then, you stay in the spare room and you can say one goodnight to him tonight and I'll talk to him in the morning."

We both sighed, sounding upset. I saw Raph running passed us, I think he heard everything. "Raph..."

(Raph's upset because if he doesn't take his anger issues seriously, he and Haylie's baby will be aborted...)

~Leo's Perspective~

I looked at Raph who was running passed us. I looked down. "I'm sorry... it's what Sensei would have done..." I said in a whisper.

I saw Haylie leaving the other way into the spare room. Then I looked at Aqua, she looked really upset. "Aqua... I..." I reached out for her.

She slapped my hand away. "No. Until you can see the truth in Raph, let him and Haylie keep the baby, I'm not gonna be with you until you can see clearly. Until then, take care of the kids. I'm a lone wolf now..." she said as she walked away from me.

(Man Leo, you did it this time!)

"A..." I sighed sadly as she walked away from me. "I knew that this day was going to come..." I slowly walked into my room. I laid in bed while my kids were in their crib. I looked at the empty space, knowing that Aqua won't sleep with me tonight...

'I don't think she wants to be my girl no more... Even though I was going to take the next big step into our relationship...' I said as I took out a box with a ring inside. And I don't think she's ready yet... I'll let this problem fly so that I could do this... I fell asleep with the box in my hand.

(The ring!)
