I have no title for this xD

Chapter One

Leo's Pov.

"Hey Mikey watch it!" We raced across the rooftops, blazing like lightning. We were ninjas. We were teenagers. And we were turtles. That sounds lame if you put it that way. Mikey raced past Donnie who was just behind me, I was right on Raphael's tail. Mikey tripped over his own feet, we all stopped. Donnie stopped by my side. "Come on Mikey, just because you're youngest, doesn't mean you have to be the baby," Donnie teased. I helped the youngest brother up to his feet, staying silent.

"Raph has such an ugly butt, I lost my focus," Mikey replied. I rolled my eyes and looked over the city of New York, the city never sleeps...because of Mikey.

Raph punched Mikey's arm, Mikey yelped.

"Leo, Raphie is being mean," Michaelangelo complained.

I held up my hand, spotting unusual movement in this part of town. "Shush."

"Hey, did you just shush me?" Mikey snapped, coming up to me as I knelt down, watching. Raph joined my side, shutting Mikey up by covering Mikey's mouth. Mikey mumbled something behind Raph's hand. Donnie peeked over Raph and my shoulders.

"What's she doing?" It was a woman, a young woman. She was carrying something. She looked around nervously, she slowly removed the blanket to reveal a baby human. I narrowed my eyes.

"Doesn't she know there are orphanages around?" Raph asked.

"Most likely she's new to New York, she looks pretty young." I watched in silence as Don replied to Raph.

"Internet?"

"Poor?"

"Guys shut up," I snapped. They both shut their mouths. She placed the child in a basket she had in his arm, she placed the basket on the ground, next to an apartment by a dumpster. She covered herself with a hood and took off. I was first to move without thinking, something inside stirred that I needed to care for the child. I got to the ground and saw the child crying for its mother. I peeked to see the mother almost gone into the night. I was still in the shadows. Mikey came after me, making a loud THUMP. It was enough to make the woman turn and see tall figures in the darkness. "Why are you throwing this child away?" I asked her, she stared at me.

She couldn't see what I really was. "I can't keep it, I'm only 16! Find someone for me! I must go before my father gets home!" She ran off and disappeared.

Raph landed by my side, Donnie on my other.

"What do we do with it?" Donnie asked, examining it with his glasses.

"Care for it," I replied. Raph looked at me, glaring.

"How the hell are we going to take care of this child in the sewers? It needs a mother and a father!" He snapped, glaring.

"We will keep it until we find a mother and a father," I said calmly. I took the basket. The three exchanged glances.

"What happened to an orphanage? We could give the child there," Donnie suggested.

"It won't find a mother in time," I told him.

"Master Splinter won't be happy," Mikey said, peering into the basket. I took the child into my arms, looking down at it. It was a boy with features like that. He had blue eyes that were watery from crying. I held it gently as I leaped back up to the rooftops.

"Stubborn ass," Raph snorted, I heard him. He followed me with Donnie and Mikey shortly after. We made it back to the tunnels into our lair. I covered the child until we made it into my room, we all gathered in.

"What about food? Diapers? Who's going to take care of it while we train and go out to the surface for missions?" Donnie started freaking out over little things.

I looked at Mikey. "Mikey will sneak for food. Raph will sneak for clean, CLEAN diapers. I will feed it, care for it, so on. Donnie, you will call April tomorrow for babysitting." I sat on my bed, cradling it into my arms. "Guys, we couldn't give it away to some orphanage, he would be out casted like us, knowing no one wanted him. But if he knew some strangers took him while he was very young, he won't think that." They all gave me a small nod. Mikey sat by me, peering at it.

"What should we call it?"

"He, Mikey," Donnie told him.

"Him. What should we call him?" Mikey emphasized the "him". I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe we can name him after an artist like Sensai did with us?" Donnie suggested.

"Good idea," I told him. Raph had his arms crossed, unlikely to be able to cooperate with this child. This orphan. He looked at me then looked away, staying silent.

"What about Castiel?" Donnie asked, sitting down by my other side. We all nodded in agreement.

"Could have named him after Leo," Raph finally piped up. "Leo Jr."

I sighed. "Raph..." the two younger brothers backed out of the room, I placed the child on my bed once the other two left the room. I stood up and looked at Raph."What's your deal?"

"You. You with your personality and taking lead because you're the leader," Raph snapped, keeping his arms crossed. His eyes narrowing, his mouth snarling. There was no way he was doing this now. "We aren't any older than the mother was Leo."

"We may be teenage but at least we can take care of it until we find a mother," I told him.

"Really?" He glared, getting closer. He was taller for sure but I was just as strong.

"Yes, to prove it, we can go out tomorrow night to search for a family, got it? April can babysit for us, Donnie will tell her what happened and she will understand," I told him.

"Leo.." Raph sighed and looked away.

"Look at me Raph," I snapped. He did so, we connected eye contact, something stirred. His eyes told me something I didn't want to know.

"Well?"

"I'm gonna need help tonight with it being up tonight, will you help?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes, almost laughing. "Fine. You need an excuse to get me to forgive you, fine I forgive you," Raph answered, wrapping an arm around me. I looked at him, then to the small child who was now sleeping on my bed. I pulled away from Raph to let the other brothers know they could come in. Raph stopped me and pushed me against my bedroom wall, I looked up at him. His strong hands having a grip on my shoulders, looking at me in the eyes.

"R-Raph?" I gulped.

He leaned close enough for our lips to touch before a knock came to the door, he pulled away. I felt my cheeks pound with a blush and let whoever knocked in.

"Donnie, what's wrong?" I looked at my brother who was freaking out.

"Sensai, I think he knows something is up," Donnie reported. I let him and Mikey in.

"You think Master Splinter knows?" I asked as we all gathered on my bed, Mikey was holding little Castiel as we talked of what we should do about Splinter. Mikey suggested just sucking up with pizza. Donnie suggested just telling the truth and letting it happen. Raph didn't agree with either. They asked me what we should do. I sighed.

"Maybe play it out until Splinter asks," I suggested.

"You're the leader," Donnie said, nodding. My head was spinning from Raph almost kissing me, why me? Why Raph? What was going on with him? I needed to talk with Donnie at some point. Mikey was letting Castiel suck on one of his large fingers, laughing at the cuteness.

"He's so adorable. How could anyone abandon him?"

"Because she didn't have any money, maybe her father was strict or he didn't know she was having a child. He is pretty small for a newborn, maybe born premature at least a week early." Donnie examined the child, Mikey slapped him away.

"I can't believe I'm finally an uncle,"Mikey purred. He smiled. "Ah, my dream has come true."

"Your dream was to become an uncle?" Raph asked in a growl. Donnie looked at us.

"Well he's breathing okay as long as Mikey doesn't drop him," Donnie reported. The baby cooed and looked at me slowly.

"Well he wasn't just born if he can see and talk babytalk," I said, the baby reached out to me.

"And apparently, you're his mother," Raph said. I took the child into my arms as Mikey yawned. He got up and said good night and left the room. Donnie nodded tiredly and followed Mikey. Raph and I were alone again, I was holding the child. Castiel cooed and yawned, rubbing his eye before falling asleep in my arms. Raph stepped closer and sat beside me, he laid with me. I felt myself falling asleep with Castiel and Raph..
