"Dadda"

Disclaimer: I don't own the Turtles and I didn't make up the movies mentioned either – I just took names off the new release DVD section of the local CD shop.

I just felt it was time to put the turtles in a new situation - hope you enjoy it.

Part One

What we found in the junk yard….

Mike snuck up behind his brother and tugged his bandana tails, as he sped past him. "Got ya!" He continued to skateboard down the tunnel.

"Yeah well wait til I get my hands on you!" Growled his brother in response, as he rollerblades towards him brother. He slides up and down the side walls of the tunnel trying to avoid the sludge of the sewer.

Half an hour later, both turtles sat down to rest and more importantly – eat. They shared the big packet of Burger Rings and guzzled down water each.

"So what you want to do next bro?" Mikey asked his older brother.

"I wanter go check out the junk yard. I am sick of all the vids we got at home."

"You know the fact that DVD has taken over the video store – works entirely to our advantage. No one wants videos anymore – so they chuck them when they get the DVD version." Mikey said.

"Yeah thankfully for us – we got Don to fix the old VCR when it plays up. We are getting quiet a collection now hey?" Raph mussed.

"Come on – last one to the junk yard has to clean the toilet for a week," Raph quickly took off, leaving his brother to grab their rubbish.

"That not fair – you got a head start!"

"Bring out the violins Mikey – no one else can hear them" cried Raphael from the other end of the tunnel.

"Hey Dude, check it out!" Mikey held up a video case titled, "Flight of the Navigator".

"Hey I remember that movie – that was alright. I think Don was obsessed with it. We'll take it." Raphael replied, as he continued to sift through the mound of old videos.

"Hey remember this one?" He held up "Short Circuit"

"No, why did we use to watch it?"

"Yeah it's about a robot. Some 80's flick".

"Definitely a Donnie flick – but I'll check it out too." Mikey said.

"Oh found the perfect flick for Leo!"

"What is it? Greatest dictators of all times?" Mikey said to Raph. Both turtles chuckled.

"Na, better than that! My Little Pony movie." Both rolled over laughing at their joke on the oldest turtle.

"You know I got an idea Raph. Let's take it, and put the tape in Leo's favourite movie and he'll put it on not realising that it's a silly girl's movie."

"Mikey – you're a genius – I'd laugh if he got caught by Don or Splinter watching movie only four year old girls like. It'll be a hoot!" Raph slapped his brother on the shell playfully.

"Here's one for Splinter – how to meditate to modern hip hop music!" Mikey laughed to his brother.

"Somehow I don't think you'll win friends with that one Mikey."

"Now here's one for you Raph!" Mikey said, as he pulled something out of the rubble.

"What?"

"How to control tamer tantrums with Dr Christopher Green".

"Hey – you want me to shove this pony one up you is….."

"What was that?" Mikey looked alarmed. Raph too sensed that they were not alone in the junk yard.

"Come on – we better book before we're seen." Raph took charge. He always did when it was just him and Mikey.

Both turtles snuck round the other end of the mound and headed quietly and carefully towards the sewer entrance they had come through. Both turtles draw their weapons as one and turned the corner only to find…..

"What the hell? Mike – put your chucks away – we don't need them!" Raph ordered softly.

Mike shrugged and put his chucks back.

"So what do you think that's doing here?" Mikey asked his brother.

"How the hell should I know? Maybe it wanted a day down the junk yard like us," Raph spat.

"What do we do?" Mikey asked.

"You see anyone else about?" Raph motioned for Mike to scoot around the yard.

When Mike came back, "Na we're the only ones and that thing. What do you think is in that thing?"

"Mike – what do you think is in it? A water melon?" Raphael snapped in a whisper.

"You think it's really one?"

"Mike – it's a pram with a baby it – see the little arms."

"But where's its Mum or Dad?" Mikey asked.

"Gee, I don't know. It may not have a Mum or Dad and if it does – they obviously dumb parents dumping the baby here."

"What we goners do?" Mikey asked.

"Well it's about to start pouring with rain – we can't leave it there." Raph said.

"You saying we're goner take it with us?"

"Well you got a better idea? Besides – we take it back and wait for the rain to ease then later tonight we go drop it off at the hospital – like they do in the movies." Raph informed his brother of his plan.

"You crazy – what'll Splinter say?"

"Mikey – I think Splinter will agree that we'd be doing the wrong thing by leaving a little baby in a junk yard by it's self when it's about to piss with rain!" Raph snapped, as he creped over to the pram.

"Wonder if he's got a name?" Mikey said.

"How should I know? Besides it's a girl not a boy," Raphael whispered.

"How do you know?" Mikey asked.

"See it's got a skirt on and it's got a doll – must be a girl." Raph pointed out to his baby brother.

Both Turtles pushed the pram through the sewers, with Mikey pushing and Raph pulling when it got stuck in the sludge. They got to the opening of their home, when they stoped.

"How do we get that down there?" Mikey asked.

"We'll have to take the baby out, you carry the pram down." Raph turned to look at the baby, which at that very moment opened its brown eyes. Raphael froze, not knowing what the baby would do. Do humans fear mutants even when they're still in diapers?

"Hey baby, we won't hurt you. We just goner take you down this ladder and give you some milk, okay. Don't scream at us." Raph spoke softly to the little bundle.

"Dadda." The baby said, as Mikey covered his mouth from laughing too hard. Raphael quickly turned and shoved Mike to the side "Shut it!" He warned.

"Na, Me Raphael – but you probably can't say that – Mikey here couldn't say that til he was 8. I know – call me Raphie – that's easy for you."

"Dadda." Mikey couldn't stop chuckling, "I think she wants to call you Dadda, not Raphie."

"Shut up Mike ands get the damn pram," Raph picked up the baby and began to climb down the ladder. Lucky for him and the baby – he was used to climbing one handed down. He snuck towards the kitchen. He thought it'll be no time before this object in his arms would be hungry and he better find out if they had any milk left.

Mikey soon followed him into the kitchen.

"We got Milk Mikey?" Raph asked, as the baby started to play with his bandana and clouded his vision when he opened the fridge.

"I'll get it." Mikey rummaged through the fridge, just then they were joined by another turtle.

"Hey was wondering when you two would be back, I want a guinea pig to test….." Don stoped when he saw Raphael was holding something. "What on earth you got there?"

"It's a baby Don. I thought someone who's a scientist like yourself would already be able to spot a baby when you see one." Raphael said, as the baby pulled his bandana tails.

"What's it doing here? Who does it belong to?"

"We're feeding him", Mikey said, as he handed the bottle Raph.

"Dadda. Dadda dink".

"Mike – I tell you she's a girl!" Raphael snapped, as the child grabbed the bottle and began to drink.

Don's eyes grow wider. "Raph you've got a kid? How did that happen?"

Mikey laughed harder than when the baby called Raph Dadda.

"Yeah it looks so much like you Raph – I would never have thought it was yours?!" Mikey chuckled.

"No dumb-wit – we found her. Some tosser dumped her in the junk yard. It was about to pour with rain – we couldn't leave her there – she'd have died from the cold." Raphael said.

"What's so funny Mike?" Leo walked in – and stoped next to Don he saw Raphael on the bench with a little bundle sucking a bottle.

"What the hell is going on?" Leo blurted out.

"I don't believe it! So someone dumped that cute little baby girl in the junk yard to die?" Don said.

"Yeap, looks like it." Mikey said.

"So you thought you'd bring it back here did you Mike? It's not a stray cat or dog Mikey – it's a human baby!" Leo shouted.

The baby dropped the milk bottle and started screaming.

"Leo! Good one!" Raphael tried to rock the bundle and make it happy again.

"Its okay, it's okay, grumpy Leo just needs to learn to calm down. Raphie will keep you safe now…."

"And don't forget your Uncle Mikey…." Mikey stepped over the spilt milk and tried to cheer up the baby.

"Think you should leave Leo – your scaring her," Donnie said, as he got the cloth to mop up the mess at Raphael's feet.

"Leonardo, may I ask what all the noise in this kitchen is?" An elderly Rat walked in, looking at Leonardo.

"Um… they... brought that thing home." Leo pointed straight at his little brothers.

Splinter looked at Don moping up milk, Mike making funny faces and in Raphael's arms a small bundle with a blue dress on.

"Raphael, what are you doing with that baby?" The old ninja master asked.

"Master Splinter we found her left in the junk yard and it was goner rain. We couldn't let her stay there to die!" Raphael pleaded. He was already kind of fond of the bundle in his arms.

The baby stoped crying and turned her big brown eyes towards the old rat.

"Ohhhhh," The baby cooed.

"Yeah we brought her here just til the rain stops and we'll take her to the hospital." Mikey informed his Master of the plan.

"Why do you need to take her to the hospital? Was she abandoned? Does she look sick to you?"

"No Master, we just thought…." Mikey started.

"As soon as the rain stops, I'll help them to the nearest hospital Sensei." Leonardo said.

"No Leonardo, there is no need. Raphael and Michelangelo I applaud you for taking such a bold step into maturity by taking on the responsibility of caring for his young human child. I see that she seems already fond of you Raphael." Splinter eyed the young thing curled up in Raphael's' big strong green arms.

"I feel that you should wait to see if the parents come forward for the child, rather than leave her at the hospital she seems a rather healthy baby to me. I mean they would only put her in an orphanage if they can't find the parents. The poor child." Splinter moved over to the baby and patted her little light brown hair.

"Come with me, I must show you something," The four turtles walked to follow the old rat, not knowing what he had in mind this time.
