This is an idea I had and I am still wondering if I should go for it sometime in the future.

Mikey sighed as he laid in his nest, the blankets and pillows that made it up along with the large blankets that made some makeshift curtains that hung from the ceiling around it was warm and comforting. It had took from time to get all the blankets and pillows he needed, as well as the many candles that littered the floor around the nest to give him a warm, glowing light, but it was the best he could do all by himself. He was just thankful that he had found this small hidden room in the sewers that wasn't too far from the lair, but far enough as to not be found by Donnie's many cameras and security gadgets. He was also thankful that this room was very warm and didn't have any type of draft coming into it that could give off a nasty chill. While what he had, he was proud of his work on his nest, even if he would have rather been in the safety of the lair to do it.

But if he did, then his family would start questioning him and Mikey always cracked under pressure, especially if it was from his family. Maybe if he was braver than he would have just told them the truth, then maybe he would be the safety and comfort of home and wouldn't feel as vulnerable as he did out here. But they would make him get rid of them, and he just couldn't bare that thought, even if he still didn't truly understand how this all came to be.

He could just imagine his family's reactions. Splinter would not say a word, he would just stare down at him with that look, the look that just told you that he was disgusted and ashamed of you. Then he would just tell him to get rid of them as if they were just some toy or animal that Mikey bought home. Raph would probably just freak and even worse, crush them to prove just how wrong it seemed to him. Then probably beat the shell out of him until he was satisfied that he learned his lesson. Donnie, if Raph didn't get to them first, would take them away and use them for his many experiments, all the while making Mikey watch as he did them. And he would be silent while doing it, even now Mikey could picture that twisted smile he always got when he was doing one of his crazier experiments. Leo would just stare at him and treat him as if he didn't exist in his life, as if all those years were nothing but a dream and Mikey was nothing more than a spec of dust in the air. Maybe he would even kill him in his sleep to rid the clan of the 'stain upon their honour.'

Mikey bit back a sob when he thought back to how it all began, how it all started and all the while gave Mikey a true meaning to life in a world that would never except him, it drove him to become an outsider to his own family.

He could still remember Bishops laughter and words as he told Mikey what was inside of him.

Flashback

"Welcome dear Michelangelo, to my lab and the last place you see." Bishop grinned as he stood over him with some of his many painful machines. Mikey tugged at the bindings that kept him on the cold, metal table.

"Sorry to disappoint you dude, but my bros will be coming any second now. So you might as well let me go to avoid any hassle." Mikey joked, deep down praying to all the gods that his bros really were only seconds away.

"Then maybe we should start with our tests." Bishop said and turned on the large metal contraption above Mikey. It beeped a couple of seconds, then a red beam slowly ran over Mikey, no hurting him but the light was strong enough that Mike had to close his eyes.

"Hey, watch the eyes. What are you doing to me?" Mikey questioned, tugging more violently at the bindings.

"I am scanning you body structure. I have always wondered how you bodies work with your unique mutation. It might also tell me why you seem... fatter than the last time we met." Bishop said, his eyes not looking away from the computer next to the table Mikey was strapped to.

Mikey pouted and even growled slightly. "I'm not fat! I have just been putting on a bit of weight from all the pizzas and video game nights lately."

Mikey looked down at his stomach, the small bump hardly noticeable unless you looked at Mikey for more than a couple of seconds. It had formed ever since him and his bros 'special time' and no matter how much Mikey trained and ran, it wouldn't go away. The thought of what happened during spring still brought a light blush to his cheeks, which really shouldn't happen now since it had been happening since their 15 birthday. At first they tried to fight it but now they just agreed to let nature take control and never speak of spring again.

"I have studied many aliens in my time, dear Michelangelo, and I can tell you from a glance that you aren't gaining the weight just by you eating habits." Bishop seemed to answer, though he seemed more interested in what was happening on the screen.

"So, what's so interesting that it can take you attention away from the mutant turtle on the table?" Mikey said but in true reality the computer could keep Bishop as long as it wanted.

Bishop didn't reply, instead he seemed to be lost in thought and trying to take in whatever the computer screen had on it. Mikey could help but notice the weird, creepy grin that was slowly making its way onto the guys face, as if he just discovered a real naughty secret. Kind of like the same thing Mikey got when he discovered where Donnie hid his hidden stash of porn magazines. Boy, what that the find of the century! Especially Donnie's, not to mention the others, faces when Mikey broadcasted it throughout the lair. Never in his life had Mikey seen Donnie as red as Raph's bandana until that moment.

After what seemed like a century, Bishop suddenly laughed. Not his creepy low laugh, but a full on mad scientist laugh that you see in the movies. Mikey had a feeling that whatever Bishop had on that computer, it would probably make him wet his shell.

"Well Michelangelo, it seems you will not be my dissection subject. This is much more interesting." Bishop finally said and he turned off all the saws that were buzzing nearby, ready for the dissection process.

Mikey stared at him like he had grown another head. This was the guy that strapped him to a table and almost cut him in haft in front of his brothers, as well as did so again when they tried to escape. So why now, from all the failed capture and dissection attempts, did Bishop suddenly want to postpone what had been his goal ever since Mikey met him?

"O...k... What you talking about Willis?" Mikey was almost afraid to ask. His bros could crash through the windows anytime now, hopefully now!

"You really have no idea what your carrying in your stomach, do you." Bishop seemed amused with a real dark look in his cold eyes, which were hard to see behind his glasses.

"Erm, last night's pizza?" Mikey guessed, seeing as how he couldn't think of anything else that could be in his stomach. Unless he ate something in his sleep again. Hopefully he didn't eat anything in his sleep again. Raph had a field day and Donnie had been splitting his sides after Mikey had to throw up.

Bishop chuckled and stood above Mikey, a creepy grin that was probably going to haunt his nightmares on the guys face.

"No. You, in fact, seem to have both the male and female reproduction systems inside your body. You were probably a female before you were mutated and you somehow retained the female side of you. You, along with your brothers I suspect, just when threw a 'special time' during the spring, am I correct?"

Mikey didn't answer, but apparently his red face, from the sudden rise in heat in his cheeks, gave all Bishop needed in an answer. Female before mutation? Maybe this guy was on some pill or something.

"I see. As disgusted I am of such an idea, it really has opened a new page on my study of your mutation. The factor of how many on an average will have to be recorded and once I get some sperm cell samples from your brothers, since I doubt your own would work, I will be able to create as many new subjects as I wanted of your kind."

Mikey just stared at Bishop as he seemed to rant to himself, completely lost on the subject. How many? Sperm cell samples from his brothers? New subjects of his kind?! What in the shell was this guy going on about? There were only four awesome ninja turtles and Mikey didn't know of any female turtles currently in existence. Though the thought was very interesting, Mikey had many doubts on the theory.

"Are you sane? No, wait, let me rephrase that, dude. Are you more insane than you already are?" Mikey asked.

"Oh believe me Michelangelo, I am quite sane. But I have to question your brain as to why you still haven't figured out what's wrong with you? Well, besides being a horrid mutant turtle freak that is."

Mikey growled. "Well mister mad scientist. If you're so smart, why don't you just tell me what's wrong with me?" Mikey snap as he tugged sharply at the bindings.

Bishop broke into another fit of evil laughter at the turtle's attempts. "Well, since you asked so nicely, I must comply with your request. You see Michelangelo, when you summated to one of your brothers when you were in heat and released their sperm cells into you, this triggered your female organs to start working, releasing the egg cells and therefore creating one of the most natural things on this earth, reproduction."

Mikey just stared at the man, his blue eyes clouded as if he had just now realised what the man was on about.

"Y-You can't mean... I-I'm..." Mikey gasped out.

"Yes Michelangelo. You are currently carrying the future of your mutated kind."

Mikey blacked out.

"You're pregnant with four eggs"

Mikey wasn't quite sure what happened after that. From what Donnie told him, they broke into Bishop's lab and found him already passed out on the table. Raph and Leo held Bishop off and Donnie was able to carry him to the Battle Shell without running into any of Bishops goons. Leo and Raph wouldn't tell him or Donnie what happened to Bishop but Mikey didn't really care.

The man had already done more damage than he could ever possibly do with his weird machines.

Mikey apparently was out cold for a whole day, worrying Donnie because he couldn't find anything wrong with him, other than a great deal of stress causing him to faint. When he woke up, Mikey had never been happier for his amazing acting skills to get his family off his back about what happened, though he had a feeling that Splinter and Leo didn't buy it, they were kind enough not to press him about it.

The whole thing was just a large mess in Mikey's head. Him pregnant? With eggs? Real, mutant turtle eggs? How on earth did that even work? Mikey had never had anything happen to him that would question his gender and he was pretty sure he was a guy, he had seen the evidence down below.

And the whole idea of Mikey being a female turtle before the whole mutagen thing? If that was even remotely real, Donnie would have seen something when they were injured, though Mikey had never been that injured before, and even if it was true, why in the shell did he change gender with his mutation.

But he couldn't argue with the mirror, because he saw the bump and knew enough from Donnie's lessons and Splinter's talk to know what a pregnant person should look like. The sickness added up, that one time pizza seemed to put him off eating anything, got what a one that was to try and explain, and even when he suddenly broke down into tears during a sparring match with Raph. Raph had panicked for a second that Mikey was seriously hurt and Donnie even checked him over, once they got him to calm down.

Mikey could bring himself to tell his family the truth, even if he hated lying to him, especially his older brothers that he knew were only trying to help him. He was captured a week after his 'special time' and Bishop had only held him for a day at most. It had been two weeks since then and the bump had only gotten bigger since then. It had gotten to the point where Mikey was spending most of his time in his room or here, where he planned to lay his eggs. He avoided his family like the plague and always hid in a thick blanket when his brothers cornered him, giving the excuse he was cold as a reason for the blanket. Donnie had tried to get him to his lab but Mikey had high tailed it before they could get the chance.

Now here he was, three weeks along and from what he read from the internet and his own guessing he had about another couple of weeks before four new turtles entered the clan, if Mikey would even still be in the clan once they found out, which was a good possibility in the near future.

And to make things even worse, Mikey still had no idea who the father was!
