At the airport, the brothers were bouncing up and down with joy. Raphael had invited them to go stay at his house. All of them. Leo, Harmony, Yoshi, Donnie and Mikey. They were all going to stay at Raph and Vanessa's for a few weeks. Yoshi unfortunately would only be able to stay for a week and a half due to his work schedule but since it was summer vacation, he allowed his boys to stay longer.

They walked through the gate to see Sloane in her carriage bouncing up and down and squealing at her uncles. Mikey ran over and crouched down in front of the carriage, kissing his nieces small cheeks. The two older brothers hugged each other tightly as Yoshi greeted his daughter in law.

When they arrived at the house, Raph helped his brothers get settled into rooms. "So Donnie and Mikey, you'll have to decide who sleeps on the couch because we only have two more open rooms." Raph explained.

"Can I sleep on the floor of Sloane's room?" Mikey asked. Raphael looked at his wife and waited. Vanessa nodded her head and smiled.

"Sure, why not. She could use the company." Vanessa responded. Mikey jumped up and down before sprinting into his nieces room.

Once everyone was settled in, Raph pulled the grill out and began to make burgers and hot dogs. Leo stood outside and smiled.

"You excited?" Raph asked.

"About what?"

"You get to drink legally in two months."

"Yea, it is pretty exciting." Leo nodded.

"I can't drink at your wedding though." Raphael pouted.

"You couldn't drink at yours." Leo reasoned.

"But this is different, dude. My big brother is getting married and your best man is gonna have to make a speech."

"About that....." Leo began.

"What? Am I not your best man?" Raph asked.

"No, no, you would be I just......Harmony and I decided we're not gonna do some big extravagant wedding. Just something simple in her parents backyard." Leo explained.

"Oh, gotcha. Good for you guys, man. As long as I'm invited, that's all I care about."

"Thanks for understanding, Raph." Leo smiled.

"Of course." He nodded.

They ate dinner and once the sun went down, they started a fire. Little Sloane fell asleep on her fathers chest, wrapped in a Disney Princess blanket. He rubbed her back as he continued to talk to his family.

"I hate to start something up that we may not wanna talk about but this is the closest thing to a family meeting we're gonna get." Donnie began.

"What's going on, Donnie?" Leo asked.

"Have our........parents come by lately? Will they come by if they know we're here?" He asked. Michelangelo's face fell as he watched everyone else grow uncomfortable.
