Okay, So I have read some fanfics where one or more of the guys have been turned into a baby or small child and I have to admit I was not all that happy with the stories. They were either incomplete, tragic (WHY?!) or too rushed to be finished. So I thought I would try my hand at it. Please review and let me know what you think and on with the story.

Ch 1 Here's What Happened Sensei

Master Splinter walked the lair from the kitchen to the dojo, he had just finished a cup of tea and was now on his way to meditate. As he passed from one room to the other, he let out a small sigh. He remembered a time when the lair use to be filled with laughter and the sound of his sons constant chatter. The TV would be on, they would be arguing or playing or getting into some kind of mishcief. Now, the lair was quiet, awaiting for the time when the boys would return home from their patrol and once again filling their home with noise.

Sometimes, Splinter wished those days could return. He had tried for fifteen years to keep his sons safe and away from the surface. But they were growing and like all children, their desire to get out and spread their wings made it more difficult for Splinter to keep them from going topside. How he wished he could have more time with them as they once were. Young and innocent.

As he continued his way toward the dojo, a commotion from out in the sewer caused him to stop and listen. He could hear what sounded like...a baby? Splinter narrowed his eyes as the sound grew louder. Along with what sounded like voices. Voices of his sons arguing.

"Raph!" It was Michelangelo. "What are you doing, trying to scare him?!"

"Well, it's better then what you were doing!" Raphael yelled back.

"Will you both just stop and lets get him to..."Donatello stopped speaking when he turned and saw Splinter at the turnstiles looking at him with intense curiosity. He had stopped walking so quickly Mikey almost slammed into him.

"Master Splinter." Donnie said as if he was not expecting to see him.

"What is going on here?" Splinter demanded. "Why are you carrying Leonardo's Katana and belt?" He looked around and his eyes narrowed when he saw Mikey Leo's knee and elbow pads and mask. "And where is..." Splinter stopped speaking when Raphael came into view carrying a small, crying, shaking baby turtle. Splinter eyes widen. "Leonardo?"

The small turtle stopped crying and looked up at Splinter sniffling. He started crying again and reached his arms out to him.

"Dadaaaa.' The small turtle cried.

Splinter took him in his arms in bewilderment. He looked toward his other three sons and beckend them toward the dojo. "Tell me what happened."

Flashback, three hours ago.

"Booyakasha!" Mikey's signature war cry echoed throughout the New York City night as he sliced into another foot bot with his kusarigama Nun-Chucks. Behind him Donnie sliced into two of them with his bo-staff.

"What do you think they're doing here?" Raph asked Donnie sounding breathless.

"How would I know?" He demanded.

"Well, this is an abandon Kraang warehouse." Raph pointed out as he took out a foot bot. "You cleaned it out ages ago and moved all the stuff so what do you think would be in there?"

"Only way to figure that out is to go in there and check it out." Leonardo told them as he sliced through two foot bots.

Raph finished off the last of the foot bots. "Then lets go." He told them.

As they began to make their way toward the entrance to the warehouse, a familiar human size fly was coming out.

"Bixter Stalkman?" Raph said as he once again mispronounced the inventor's name.

"It's Baxter Sssstockman!" He buzzed loudly back as he looked around at all the destroyed foot bots." And whaaaaat have you done to my army of botszzzz?!" He yelled.

"Took them down." Raph said as he twirled his Sais and glared at the scientist. "And now we're going to do the same thing to you."

As he began to advance, Stockman, walking backward toward the alley took something out of his coat pocket."Come noooo further!" He told him as he held up what looked to be a small shinning ring.

Raph looked at him incredulously. "What is that?" He said laughing. He looked at his brothers, "Hey look guys, fly boy's got a new bling." He looked back to Stockman. "What, you gonna propose to Shred head with that?" He and the turtles continued to laugh.

"Hah, laugh if you will." He held the ring up high. The turtles stopped laughing when the crystal in the ring began to glow. "The power in this ring will give me the last laugh!" He pointed the ring at Raphael. The glowing light got brighter until a beam shot out through it.

"Raph!" Leo screamed. "Look out!" He shoved Raph out of the way as it hit the spot where Raph had been standing.

The bright light was so intense that both the turtles and Stockman had to look away. Raph shield his eyes and kept his head low. He could hear a painful familiar scream sounding throughout the alley as the light seemed to intensify and make the night turn to day before finally dimming down and going out all together.

Raph slowly lifted his head. He could hear Stockman running away from the alley laughing like a maniac while saying over and over again. "It worked, ha ha ha, it worked."

Raph sat up and looked to where he had just been standing. He saw Donnie and Mikey some feet away from the spot laying down, their hands over their heads.

"At least they're moving." Raph thought to himself. He looked around for Leo. He remembered it was Leo who had pushed him out of the way of the beam. His eyes widen as he once again looked to the spot he had been standing on only moments before.

"Raph?" Donnie called out. "You okay?"

Raph didn't answer, he was slowly creeping over toward the spot where he now saw a pile of dirty brown knee and elbow pads along with a blue mask and Leo's katanas. "Leo?" Raph said almost a whisper, his right hand shaking as it reached toward the remenants of what he thought might be his older brother.

Now Donnie and Mikey were making their way over to where Raph was, the fear on their faces showing plainly. "Raph," Donnie asked slowly. "Where's Leo?"

Raph's shaking hand was pointing toward the pile of fabric and weapons when it began to move. In the darkness of the alleyway, no one had noticed the small figure buried underneath it. As Raph was about to move the things out of the way, a sudden cry erupted and a small head poked out.

Raph's eyes went wide. "Holy Sh...

"It's a baby!" Mikey exclaimed as he bent down to pick up the small tot. "A baby turtle!" Mikey had hearts in his eyes. "Awww, he's so cute." He said practically drooling.

"It's not a baby turtle!" Raph yelled at him. "It's Leo." He took the now small, crying leader away from Mikey.

"How in the world?" Donnie asked.

"Must have been that ring." Raph said as he looked around the alley to see if any of the Shredder's henchman were about. "We better get Leo back to the lair, and quick."

Present time

"So we came back here before any of Shred head's men could come and check on us." Mikey ended the story.

"I checked Leo over in the Shellraiser to make sure there was no internal damage or any other physical harm done to him." Donnie said. "And so far, other then...this..." Donnie waved his hands at his now baby brother. "There is physically nothing else wrong with him."

Splinter's face softened as he looked down at the calm, quiet turtle tot laying in his lap. Leo was looking up at Splinter with wide bright blue eyes and playing with his long beard, he occasionally giggled and chirped happily as the beard would tickle his beak.

"Yes," Splinter began slowly as he gently stroked Leo's head, "Well...we cannot change what has happened." He looked back up toward his other sons as he picked Leo up. He chuckled when Leo batted his snout. "All we can do is deal with the current situation and try to fix it, until then there will be no patrols" Raph groaned. "We need to know what we are dealing with before you can leave the lair again." With that he stood up and handed Leo to Mikey.

"Leonardo is getting hungry." He walked toward the doorway of the dojo, "Michelangelo, please prepare him a small snack, afterwards, I will give him a bath."

"Hai Sensei." Mikey left the dojo with Leo and headed toward the kitchen.

He looked at Donatello. "Donatello, please call April and see if she has anyway to get some baby things, we are going to need diapers and some warm clothes." He paused to look around the lair. "After, I want you to get some sleep and tomorrow look into this 'ring' that Stockman used, see what information you can find on it."

"Hai Sensei." Donnie walked out and headed toward his room to call April.

Now Splinter looked at Raphael.

"Raphael. please help me to gather some extra blankets and pillows to make a 'nest' for your brother." He walked over toward the living room. "I will sleep in this room with him tonight so that the rest of you may get your sleep."

Raph looked rather annoyed but ran off to find the things asked for, Splinter took a deep breath and let it out slowly while he rubbed his temples. "It's going to be a very long night." He told himself.
