I do not any characters, except the ones I created.
TMNT and it's characters belong to Nickelodeon, Viacom Mirage comics, Peter Eastmen and Kevin Laid:
It was night and the sky was so clear that it was one of those rare nights in New York City that you could see the stars. However, since it was New York city, not many stopped to admire the stars, especially not a dark haired, blue eyed beauty as she ran through the streets of New York. She was an expecting mother of nine months and she ran as though her life and the life of her soon-to-be-born baby was in great danger. However, the more she ran, the more tired she became. Unfortunately for our mysterious mother-to-be. But stopping to rest wasn't an option for the woman, she had to find some safe to rest where he won't find her. If she chose to hide at a hospital, he could easily send someone to find her, take her back to him and then he would take her baby. She continued to run through the dark and creepy alleyways of the city, until she reached a dead end.
Malditos sejam! Malditos sejam todos para o inferno! She thought to herself in frustration.
For a moment, it looked as though the woman's luck had run out. If she didn't do something soon, they would be found and she would give birth in their hands. The woman placed her hand protectively over her stomach as her eyes darted around the alleyway, suddenly she spotted a man-hole cover and her heart leaped with hope at the sight of it. To anyone else, it was just a cover. To the woman, it was a means of escaping her pursuers. With all the strength she had left, the unnamed woman lifted off the man-hole cover with her bare hands and climbed into the sewers.
It may stink, but at least they won't follow me down here. She thought to herself as she reached the bottom. The woman paused to catch her breath, before she began to search for a dry resting area in the sewers. Little did the woman realize if she had been paying more attention to her surroundings, she would've realized that she had been spotted by another woman who worked for him.
The nefarious woman walked over to the open man-cover and shook her head at the pregnant woman's foolishness in forgetting to cover the man-hole back up. Before following the mother-to-be, the nefarious woman made a call to her boss.
Have you found her?" spoke a male voice on the other end.
"Yes, She's been spotted." The other woman replied.
"Has the asset arrived yet?' the male voice questioned.
"No, but with all the running she's been doing. I won't be surprised if the asset decides to be born today." the evil woman replied.
"Good, Sky. Make sure that you retrieve the asset when it's born." replied her boss's voice.
"Yes, Sir." Sky replied before she hung up.
Then making sure that she won't be spotted, the evil woman climbed down the sewers in attempt to follow the mother-to-be.
As Sky was entering the sewers, the pregnant woman was walking through the fifthy sewer waters. After what seemed to be hours, she found what appeared to be a dry spot. Just as she was about to sit down, she felt a sharp pain go through her stomach
Nao! Agora nao! I can't be going into labor now! She thought to herself. Almost as if response to her thoughts, she felt liquid beginning to drip down her paints. She water had broken. The baby had made up it's mind and decided to be born today, whether the mother to be wanted it or not. As the woman did her best to prepare herself for the arrival of her child, her thoughts wandered towards her husband and her baby's father, Haru.
Oh Haru… If only I was back home with you. We would be at a hospital by now. She thought to herself as she began to take off her now drenched paints.
The unnamed woman folded her paints neatly, before she could lay herself down on as much dry sewer asphalt that she could lay on. Once she was away from the water of the sewers, the unnamed woman took puffing deep breaths as she felt a contraction pass through her. Oh baby, why did you have to come so soon? the unnamed woman wondered as the contractions and pain began to overwhelm her.
From that moment on, she began to loose track of time. Before she knew it she was now covered in sweat and the pain had reached an all time high. A groan escaped her lips as a wave of pain more powerful than any of the other contractions before, hit her like a bullet. Right then and there, the unnamed woman knew that the baby was going to arrive soon. Digging her hands into filthy ground, the unnamed woman began to push. She couldn't explain it, but she knew the baby was almost out. Sometime later, after pushing, painting and breathing the baby came into this world. The unnamed woman quickly reached downward and lifted the crying, squirming baby in her arms. Amazingly, the child's cries began to grow softer before becoming a gurgle.
It had taken some effort and skill, but she was careful not to let her baby touch the sewer water. She was beautiful beyond words, a tiny little pink thing with a full head of black hair.
You aren't even a month old yet and you already have your Pappi's hair. the unnamed woman thought with a small smile.
Then her daughter's eyes opened to look at her. Her eyes had a narrow shape like her father's and yet they had the color of her mother's; the color of a periwinkle blue. For a moment, if appeared if the world stopped for the two of them, if was as if the mother and child were the center of the universe.
"Hi, little bird." the woman whispered to her baby in a gentle tone.
As she stared into her baby's eyes, she quickly realized her heart belonged to her daughter. However, that moment soon passed as the sound of approaching footsteps brought her back into reality.
"No…" She thought with horror.
She couldn't believe her luck. She had escaped from him, only for one of his mercenaries to find her. Whoever is was, sounded like it was coming closer. If the mercenary found the two of them, the unnamed woman be killed and her baby would be taken back to him. If her child fell into his sick hands, he would surly corrupt her.
The unnamed woman knew, she could never allow him to lay a finger on her newborn daughter. Right then and there, she made up her mind in a split second.
She held her baby close to her and whispered. "I love you so much, little bird. I hope that you'll be found by someone who will love you and take care of you. Please sleep for now. I...I hope that one day...when you're older... you'll understand."
Once the unnamed woman had finished speaking, she turned her attention to the umbilical cord that bound her to her baby. Without even blinking, she picked up the cord and tore it in half with her bare hands. Now separated form her daughter, the woman quickly wrapped her baby daughter in a yellow blanket that she had carrying. Once the baby was comfortable and warm. The woman placed her child in the furthest corner of the dry asphalt.
Once the woman was sure her baby would be safe, she picked up a nearby pink blanket and wrapped it around a nearby rock that happened to be the size as her newborn daughter. Once the blanket was tightly wrapped around the rock, she picked the false bundle up and to walk away from her child. The unnamed woman took one last look at her daughter before she started to runway as far as she could from her baby. She hadn't got very far, before she was tackled by Sky. The unnamed women let out a convincing sob as Sky pulled the false bundle out of her arms.
When Sky realized that it was really a rock, she let out a yell of anger and screamed "Where is it? Where's the child?"
"I'll never tell you." the unnamed women said in defiant tone.
Frowning, Sky grappled the unnamed woman's neck and snapped it.
Sky then, let her body of the now murdered woman drop to the floor. Sky was about to search for the baby, when she suddenly heard approaching voices that were heading towards her way. "Damn!" She thought to herself as she quickly hid herself in the shadows.
At that moment, four teenage mutant ninja turtles were running through the sewers on their way to patrol the surface for criminal activity. The four brothers were so focused on reaching the surface without being seen that they never weren't prepared for the gruesome site they were about to see. The turtle in the blue mask who was known as Leo was the first to discover the woman's body. He let out a gasp of horror at the sight before him. Behind him, his brothers stopped in their tracks. The turtle in the red mask, Raphael would've demanded to know why they've stopped if he and his younger brothers didn't see the dead body on the ground. Raph quickly looked away from the ugly site. Raph knew if he looked at that body any longer he would throw up. The youngest brother called Michelangelo screamed in shock and horror. The one in purple mask known as Donatello, looked as though he was to horrified for words.
"Uhh…guys? What's a dead lady doing down here?" asked Michelangelo or as he preferred to be called, Mikey.
"I don't..." Leo started to say. However, before he could get any further, Leo was interrupted by the sound of a newborn baby crying for its mommy. Without wasting a second, the four turtles ran towards direction of the cries, unaware of their feet splashing through the water.
Donnie was the first to reach the dry area. As he started to search for source of the cries, he found a yellow wiggling bundle that was hidden in a corner. As Donnie pulled back the cover, he leaped back with complete and utter shock.
"GUYS! IT'S A BABY! A HUMAN BABY!" Donnie yelled.
"WHAT!" his brothers yelled.
At Donnie's words, they ran even faster. Once as the turtles reached their Donnie, Leo, Raph and Mikey knelt down on the ground to get a better look. Leo, Raph and Mikey couldn't help but be amazed at the site of the human newborn. From the blanket, the baby took in the turtles with a completely trusting expression. The baby wiggled around, until a hand was freed. The child raised her hand into the air as she reached for the four turtles in front of her.
"Awww..." was all Mikey could say.
"Guys, we need to tell Master Splinter about this." Leo said as he reached down to up the baby.
"Leo, what are you doing?" Raph questioned.
"What does it look like I'm doing Raph." Leo replied rhetorically as he lifted the bundle into his arms.
As Leo looked at the infant in his arms, he suddenly realized this was his first time in his life that he was holding a human baby. In all his years of ninja training, Leo had never imagined that he would one day cradle a being that was so fragile in his arms. He had seen human babies on TV and had heard stories about baby Miwa, but being to see and hold a real one in person just blew his mind momentary.
"You're taking the kid back to the lair!" Raph protested, interrupting Leo's thoughts. "Raph, we can't just leave them here." Leo replied.
Raph sighed and threw the unnamed woman's body over his shoulders. He didn't like bringing a dead woman and her kid back to their home. But as much as he hated to admit it, Leo did have a point. With the kid's mother dead, who knows how long the poor thing would last in the sewers. He would never tell his brothers this, but his conscience wouldn't allow to rest again if let the kid die.
With their unexpected discoveries,the four turtles began to return towards the lair. Unbeknownst to the brothers, Sky had seen the entire event. She couldn't believe her luck, first that woman had escaped, then that woman had the asset and hid it in the sewers. Now it was in the hands of four mutant freaks.
How am I ever going to explain this? Sky wondered to herself.
Meanwhile inside the lair, Splinter was meditating when he heard his sons's footsteps approaching.
That's odd. My sons left the lair not to long ago. What could have caused them to return so soon? Have they finished patrol early? Splinter thought to himself.
Splinter stopped mediating and slowly stood up. He was about to ask his sons why what had happened. However, once Splinter faced his sons, he received an answer, right away. In Leo's arms, was a newborn baby, crying for food. In Raph's arms was what appeared to be an unconscious woman. However, as Splinter looked at the woman more closely, he quickly realized that she was at once, a dozen questions flew through Splinter's mind.
Who was this woman? How did she appear in the sewers? What was she doing in the sewers? How did she die? Is that her baby in Leonardo's arms? He wondered as he turned his attention towards Leo and the baby.
As Splinter looked at the baby, he felt a wave of emotions go through him. Fondness, curiosity, nostalgia and sadness all at once. He couldn't help but be reminded of Miwa when she was a baby. He had not seen a human baby in person. Not since fifteen years ago.
"How did they get here?" he asked Leo, distracting himself from his thoughts.
Splinter knew if he continued to think about those days, his heart would ache.
"We found them in the sewers, Master Splinter." Leo explained.
"We're not sure how they got here, Sensei." Donnie began."But maybe that woman over there can give us some answers." Donnie he added,while he gestured towards the unnamed woman's corpse that Raph had just placed on the floor.
"How can she tell us anything? She out cold." Mikey wondered. "It's called 'Identification of the body.'" Raph replied in an annoyed tone.
Mikey ignored him and quickly went over to gush over the newborn.
"Aww...the baby's so cute! What of person would want to abandon their baby in the sewers?" Mikey wondered aloud.
"Mikey I don't think that baby was abandoned." Donnie said in a sad tone.
"What do you mean?" questioned Mikey.
"What he's trying to say is that this baby is an orphan now." Raph said in his usual gruff tone.
Mikey looked at the baby in Leo's arms, before he took another look at the dead woman. Then Mikey looked back at the baby again.
"You mean... you mean...?" Mikey began to say, as it dawned on him that the dead woman was also the baby's mother.
Mikey was unable to finish his sentence before he suddenly became overcome with emotion. He ran into his room, fighting back the tears of sadness and horror that threatened to fall from his eyes. Splinter looked at Michelangelo's fleeing form with sad eyes. He understood Michelangelo's shock and horror all to well. He would never forget the sight of his beloved Tang Shen, dead in his arms.
"Let's just feed the kid already, the cryings getting on my nerves." Raph said his usual annoyed tone.
To anyone else, it would appear that Raph was acting like his usual self. But for those who knew him well, like his brothers and father. They knew that Raph was just as shaken up by this discovery as they were. At Raph's words, Leo looked down at the baby in his arms and realized the baby had suddenly stopped crying and was now beginning to fall asleep.
"Unbelievable." Raph muttered under his breath.
"Now that's the understatement of the year." Donnie said.
"What will we do when the baby wakes up?" Leo asked. "Also, is the baby a boy or a girl?" he added.
At Leo's words, Splinter gently took the baby from Leo's arms and slowly removed the blanket until the baby's body was completely exposed.
"It's a healthy girl." Splinter said with a small smile as he gently re-wrapped the blanket around the baby girl's tiny body.
The small infant slept through it all, completely unaware that she was now in the care of mutants. Unsure of what else to do, Donnie took a picture of the dead woman's face on his T-Phone and headed towards his lab to see if he could find any information about her. If there was one place where he could find something about this mystery woman, it would be a missing person's website.
"What should we call her? I mean we can't just keep calling her 'baby.'" Leo said.
"Does someone need help naming someone?" called Mikey in a sing-song voice as he bounced back into the living room.
Leo and Raph felt the urge to roll their eyes, while Splinter looked amused. Mikey always enjoyed naming stuff, so it was no surprise that Mikey would get excited because of naming someone.
"How about Margaret or Megan?" Mikey asked.
"Nope." Raph said quickly, while Splinter shook his head no.
"What about Calliope, Charlotte or Daisy?" Mikey added.
Splinter, Leo and Raph all shook their heads "No."
"Lyra, Violet or Sunny?" Leo suggested.
Splinter, Raph and Mikey both shook their heads no.
"What about Hazel or Annabeth?" Donnie shouted from up his lab.
"No, I don't think she looks like a Hazel or Annabeth." Raph said.
"Besides have you made any progress on discovering who Mommy really is?" Leo spoke up.
"None yet, at least not on the English speaking sites I went to. All I know is that she's doesn't seem to be a New York native." Donnie explained.
"So, what was she doing doen here?" Leo questioned.
"That's what I'm trying to find out." Donnie replied.
With that he went back to work in his lab.
"How about Elsa?" Mikey said as he looked at the sleeping baby girl who now rested on the living room couch. Splinter, Leo, Raph and Mikey looked at the baby. The name "Elsa" seemed to suite her best.
"Elsa, it is." Splinter agreed.
"Can we keep her Master Splinter? Can we? Can we?" Mikey begged with his puppy dog eyes.
"Until we can find her family, we will look after her." Splinter replied.
"Why can't we keep her full time?" Mikey asked in a somewhat disappointed tone."I promise to look after her. I'll be a good big brother." Mikey added while looking at the sleeping baby some more.
"Michelangelo, this is a baby. Not a pet." Splinter explained. "Babies need full time care and attention. I should know, I had my hands full with the four of you." he added. "Besides, the sewers aren't a great place to raise a baby." Raph piped up.
Meanwhile in the biggest country in South America, a man named Haru Zamorra had awoken from his sleep with tears running down his face. He was dreaming about exploring the forests of Brazil, when he was suddenly awoken with a horrible sadness that consumed him. Haru didn't know how or why, but he knew this had to do with his missing wife Ingrid Zamorra and their unborn child. She was three months pregnant when she disappeared. For six months, the police had been searching for them, But they seemed to vanished without a trace.
There had been no ransom call, meaning that there was a good chance that Ingrid and their baby had been killed, or worse. Haru refused to believe it. He knew deep in his heart that Ingrid was alive somewhere…at least until tonight.
Although he had no way of knowing for sure, Haru knew something had happened to Ingrid, something terrible. He quickly went to the bathroom, he didn't want to be seen crying.
In the bathroom, Haru took deep breaths and attempted to think things over.
What happened to Ingrid? Is she dead? Please don't let her be dead. Let her and our baby be alright. He prayed in his mind as he looked their honeymoon photo.
After calming down somewhat, Haru went to check on his young cousin. He quietly crept towards his young cousin's bedroom and opened the door ever so slightly. Bryce Stone was his 15 year old second cousin, that he and Ingrid took in after her father died. She had a beautiful shade of milk chocolate skin and red spiraled colored hair. For a moment, he thought of waking her and telling her of his fears. But in the end, he decided to let her sleep.
Haru quietly closed Bryce's bedroom door and walked towards the baby's room. He looked around the baby's room. It was painted in many different shades of pink and blue and had a huge crib in the center of the room by the window. He sat down in a rocking chair, hoping that this horrible feeling was wrong and that Ingrid and their baby were both safe. In the baby's room, Haru let the tears fall from his dark almond shaped eyes onto the honeymoon picture.
Translations, Portuguese to English:
Malditos sejam: Damn them! Malditos sejam todos para o inferno: Damn them all to hell!
Nao: No! Agora nao: Not now!
Pappi: Daddy
I have a challenge for the reviewers, guess which country that Haru lives in and I'll give you hints on what will happened next.
In the meantime, tell what you think.
If I get the translations wrong or make any grammar mistakes, please feel free to let me know.
