I just can't help myself. It's been a little over five years with him and the smile still hasn't left my face. Even now, lying next to him in this warm bed, with his arm draped across my shoulder (I've grown accustom to the snoring now) I feel safe, wonderfully and fantastically safe. Nothing can get to me because I know he'd stop it. Nothing could hurt me, not even him because I know he'd prevent it. I pull his arm closer to my chest as I snuggle my body closer to him.

My head is usually running through a million things per minuet, I never am able to sit still, I'm always moving. But, with Mikey it's different. Even his name, Michelangelo. It's strong yet, fun. We counter act with one another. He's just as mobile and anxious as I am. He's mind never stops, always moving along with his caffeine injected, ADD thoughts. That's what I love about him. We could talk for hours about something that made absolutely no sense to anyone around us, but complete sense to us.

The only time I've ever seen him calm was when he's in a fight. His face is different, focused from any thoughts in his mind and set on one thing. His happy and innocent eyes change to this raw and passionate need to survive, get out with his brothers by his side. It's one of the most horrible and greatest things I've ever had to watch. I couldn't help but get a fluttery feeling in my stomach when his deep intense blue eyes landed on mine, while he took me from some Foot Ninja's grasped. I remember hearing the echoing voice of my sister Samantha in the background as she fought off Karai. Her and Leo are still happy and together but I don't think anyone can be as happy as I am right now with Mikey.

Those nights he's gone out with his brother's for their patrols are the only other time I see those blue intense eyes meet mine from my fire escape in my bedroom. I can barely even get the window opened all the way before he picks my body up from where I stand and lays me on my bed. He's always so worked up after that he's grown accustom to that to settle him down. He told me once that he used to meditate for as long as he was able to, then play a video game with a lot of blood and gore, but this out beats that any day. I smiled and agreed.

I've only been with a handful of guys, none of them could ever compare to Mikey. None! I mean, he's just….wow. The first time we, well, ya know I couldn't even move! I felt like my legs were never going to stop shaking and that I'd never be able to sit up without feeling a sharp pain in me well…cash and prizes area. T.M.I? Yeah…a bit. My bad.

"Uncle Mikey, uncle Mikey!" The sweet little terror of a girl yells as I feel the bottom of our bed give a little to her weight as she starts to bounce making her way up to Mikey's plastron. I smirk to myself, at least I'm not the aim this morning.

Frankie and Raph were the first to have a kid. They weren't prepare, but I don't think anyone can really be prepared to find out that you're partner who happens to be a mutant turtle is the father of your unborn child. Kinda weird if you think about it?

I remember the news of them finding out almost as if it were yesterday.

"…Well are you sure that's what blue means?" I heard Raph scream from his room in the lair as Mikey and I were enjoying an old cult classic Goonies on the couch, along with my sister Samantha and Leo.

"Yeah Raph! I think I know how to read a fuckin' box!" Frankie retorted with her awesome way to displace anger.

"Uh oh…" I hear my older sister say from the chair she sat on, well more Leo she sat on, who was in a chair.

"What uh oh, what do you think is going on?" Leo asked as she got from his lap.

"Uh…haha. Let me just go see before ya know, you go talk to Raph."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, nothing sweetie. Just…ya know you and Raph have a way with words with one another when he's already riled up. Just…sit…there and I'll be back." She smiled nervously as Leonardo raised an eye ridge to her. I love my sister's nervous laugh. I smile as I snuggle up closer to Mikey. I look at his face as it matches Leo's perfectly. It's creepy sometimes how he can match his older brother's faces. Even though he's the goof ball of the brothers, he can have some serious times.

"What do you think that's about?"

"Frankie's pregnant." I whisper in his ear. Before Mikey could react another scream comes from the bedroom.

"What?! You have to check it again! You can't be pregnant!"

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble cupcake, but yeah. The box says so, so I guess I am." Frankie's voice goes slightly calmer.

That was four years ago. Since then Frankie moved in with Raph and his brothers in the lair. Leo and Mikey usually come by more at night to Sam and my place, but the times they don't it's because we're usually at the lair.

Leo and Sam talk about kids but then they realize that it isn't for them. After seeing her fight with Karai and her finally spilling the beans about being a trained assassin since she was eighteen years old I can understand why. She's been through so much and besides, she'll have Frankie's and my and Mikey's kids around her. Well, whenever Mikey and I actually have kids.

Donatello and Jordon are still really shy about their relationship. They don't say they're in love yet and that it would take a lot of time for that to become even a thought, but you can see it. The little smiles they get when they make eye contact, the way they're always close to one another, sneaking kisses here and there. They're totally in love, head over heals type. Of course, they're brains are too logical to go on a whim and accept it. But still, it's fun to watch in the meantime.

Raph present Frankie with a ring short after the Winters incident. Something no one really suspected, but it was kind of right. After giving up being the Nightwatcher and going on patrols at night with his brothers and everything settling down it would have been stupid of him not to grab the woman he loved and who loved him back. It's cute if you think about it. Just, don't tell them that or they'll get really mad.

"Mummy said to come and get you lazy butts outta bed!" The precious brown headed girl whines.

"Wonderful that your parents teach you such delicate language." I grumble in my pillow.

Harmony is her name, after Frankie's grandmother. Raphael didn't really know what to do or how to react to the situation so he pretty much just went along with whatever Frankie wanted. After all this time he's fallen into the role of a pretty amazing father. Same with Frankie, only she's the mom.

Before Harmony could land on the mattress in another jump Mikey turned around on his shell and grabs the beauty by her waist as she giggles wildly to him blowing raspberries on her stomach. I sit up in bed and giggle myself. He's so great with kids, probably that whole 'he still is one' concept.

"Alright, alright I'm up." He says throwing the girl over his shoulder and leaving the room. I lie back down and close my eyes. "Yeah right Emma, get up." I hear him say from the doorway. I open an eye as I see him with a raised eye ridge, with the tiny girl over his shoulder kicking and squirming to get free. I groan and get out of bed putting a pair of sweat pants.

"Where is my beautiful granddaughter?" I hear Splinter say as he watches Mikey walk her down the stairs. She smiles and squirms to get from Mike's grasp as he puts her on the ground. She runs over hugging on to Splinter's waist as he sits at the kitchen table with a steaming cup of tea in front of him.

"Right here Sofu!" She says as she buries her face in his rope.

"And what do we have planed today?" He asks as he sits her on his lap, pushing the hot cup father away from her grasp.

"Daddy is going to teach me how to punch."

"Or so she thinks." Raph says as he sits down at the table. "You know darn well that you ain't doin' that until you're at least twelve. The last thing we need is you runnin' around punchin' people."

"Yeah, you're like your father but there needs to be some limit." Frankie says as she takes a sip of her tea, decaf tea.

"Very funny." Raph says looking over his shoulder at her. I hide my smile as I sit at the table running my hand over Harmony's soft curly hair.

"So when are you two going to start having kids?" Frankie says as Raph pulls a chair out for her and she sits her tired body down. She places her hand over her bumped stomach. She's about five months now. I smile as I turn my attention to Mike who is motioning for her to be quiet. I narrow my eyes.

"And what was that for?"

"Uh…n-nothing babe. I was just, ya know…um…a fly was…"

"Yeah Mike, sure. I'm not sure, there's not ring on my finger yet so I guess I'm still free game." I say with a smile, crossing my arms.

"Hey! Not funny! I just haven't gotten around to it yet."

"Yeah that or ya know purposing." I say as I take a sip of my coffee.

"When the time is right you will know my son." Splinter says as he places a hand on Mikey's shoulder putting his tea cup in the sink. "Now come little one, we will practice your meditation." Harmony smiles and jumps to her feet as she bounces waiting for Splinter to catch up.

He's still steady with his walking stick but time can never stand still for long enough. I'm scared for when that day comes that the four of them will have to say good bye to their father. Even for Harmony, she has such a beautiful connection with the elderly rat now that her heart will break.

"See that, I know when the time will be right." Mikey says taking Splinter's seat at the table. I look at him with a condescending smirk.

"Mhm, sure Mikey."

"Morning." We all turn our heads as we see Jordon walking down the stairs in a yawn, coming into the kitchen as she fixes herself a cup of coffee. Frankie and I look at each other with amusing faces as Frankie clears her throat.

"Rough night Jay?" She asks as I can't hold back a giggle, turning it into a cough. Jordon turns around with narrowed eyes.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Brush your hair much?" I ask covering my mouth from a laugh. Raph chokes back on his milk he was drinking and wipes his face.

"What are you…" She brushes her hand over her hair and tries to smooth it down immediately as she notices it being a tattered mess on her head. Donatello walks down the stairs now as Mikey and Raph both start clapping and making "woo" noises at their smarter brother. "You are both childish."

"And you two go biz-ay" Mikey says moving his arms in a circular motion, doing the cabbage patch. I snort back a laugh as he gets up and starts to dance behind me, making up his own music as he goes.

"Mikey grow up." Donnie says as he reaches beside Jordon in the fridge for something to drink. They catch eyes as he pulls away, closing the door smiles running across both of their faces.

"Never! And to prove it I shall go watch cartoons!" He says leaping over to the couch.

"How can you stand him?" Donnie asks me as I smile watching Mikey flip through channels.

"Aw, come on Donnie, he's adorable!"
