Author's note: and here we are at the epilogue! Thanks to all my reviewers for this story. I appreciate it so much! I hope you guys stay tuned for the fourth instalment of this series, Violet Eyes. That should be up real soon. Enjoy this chapter!

Life was certainly good Hellcat decided when she turned her head to see Leonardo smiling back at her. Leaning forward, she kissed her lover.

That word made her smile for that was what he had become only hours earlier. Hellcat glanced at the clock and smirked. It was now early morning, which meant that they had been intimate all night long.

And again…live is good.

Leonardo returned her kiss for a long, blissful moment before he made a move to get out of bed. Hellcat let out a small sound of complaint.

"It's time for morning training." He said, explaining his actions. Once he was sitting upright on the bed, he strapped his weapons to his back.

"Oh, screw mornin' trainin'…" she muttered, her accent thickened by sleep. "jus' stay 'ere with me, instead. 'sides, you're still healin'…"

The turtle smiled at her words. "I'd say after last night…" he leaned forward and kissed her again. "I proved that I'm able to take on training."

"You've got yer stamina and yer skill in that area, yes…" she agreed, nipping his lower lip, getting a groan out of him, "but fightin' will no doubt put more strain on ya, so…"

Hellcat gripped the strap that came across his plastron and drew him towards her. "You should stay in bed…"

For a moment, Leo wished he wasn't the eldest brother and could forgo his duties as a Ninja. But sadly, he couldn't.

This regret got worse when she began to trail her lips down his neck. The sheet she had wrapped around her was slipping also…

"Okay…I better go now." Leonardo said determinedly and stood. He grinned at her from his doorway.

Hellcat just poked her lip out at him. Leo shook his head, still smiling, and made his way to the dojo.

The agent lay back down on the bed and sighed happily. Oh, it was good to be back…

"Way to go, Leo." Christine said, unable to suppress a smirk when she saw the blue-masked turtle immerge from his room.

Leonardo rolled his eyes at her comment.

Splinter saw him next and approached his eldest son. "Are you sure you are ready to train?" he asked the question in all seriousness with a hint of fatherly concern.

"Yes, Sensei."

The rat then called for Donatello, who appeared a moment later.

"Check his wound, my son. If you deem him ready, he may join us. If not, he is to return to bed." Splinter fixed Leonardo with stern stare that said he had better listen to him.

As the purple masked turtle did this, Raph walked into the room smiling.

"I doubt he'd be gettin' any sleep, Sensei."

"Shut up, Raph." Leo growled.

This only made the red masked turtle laugh.

Splinter only shook his head and muttered, "Kids…" as he often did when they acted like this.

Christine raised an eyebrow. "It's not like you got any sleep either, Raph…you two are loud."

The red masked turtle narrowed his eyes at her. Leonardo silently thanked her with a look for defending him.

"So are you and Mikey." Liz called out from Raphael's bedroom.

Instead of embarrassing Christine, this comment made her laugh. "Damn right…I can't help that he's fabulous in bed."

It was Liz's turn to laugh. "Well, so is Raph!"

Christine smirked at that and laughed harder.

Donatello, however, looked embarrassed and like he'd rather be elsewhere.

A moment later, Hellcat walked out of Leonardo's room, the sheet still around her body.

Christine and Raph exchanged looks as they watched Leo's eyes fill with raw heat upon seeing her.

With a smirk, she addressed Donatello. "I still think he needs bed rest."

The purple masked turtle rolled his eyes. "You just want to do things with him that I'm sure to have nightmares about."

This made Hellcat laugh. "Damn, it's good to be on earth again." She said, smiling at everyone.

"We're glad to have you back." Leonardo said and kissed her for the third time that morning, not caring that his brothers could see.

Mikey walked in and saw this and grinned. "I take it Leo's not joining us?"

"I think you're right, Mikey." Christine said.

Splinter cleared this throat. "Well, you four can join me in the dojo."

And with that, Mikey, Donny, Christine and Raph all followed Splinter, leaving the two lovers alone in the living room.

Hellcat smiled at Leonardo and headed back towards his room, dropping the sheet as she went. And with a wicked smile, the blue masked turtle followed her…
