Splinter, sat in a small room he called the dojo, he sat meditating.
His sons were about 2 years of age, troublemakers that's for sure.
But he was worried..Raphael has yet to speak and..I mean he should at least make a noise or word or anything! But nothing..
There is a possibility he's mute, but Splinter doesn't think that's the case.
He sighed, but it also seemed everyone Splinter yelled at his son or asked him a question, he wouldn't look at Splinter or even answer him.
Could it be he is Deaf? This was a possibility the mutagen could have caused him to be deaf. Splinter sighed.
————————-"Raph! Weave him alone!" Leonardo
yelled.Mikey had been making faces at Raph, which lead to Raph hitting Mikey.
"Hey!" Mikey hit Raph back, Raph tackled Mikey.
"Ahh! Daddy!! Help!" Mikey yelled, splinter sighed and walked into the living room.
He gently picked up Michelangelo and rocked him.
"There, there my son it is alright." Splinter looked at Raphael.
Raph gazed at his father, he tilted his head. Splinter sighed and picked up Raph.
"My son that was not nice" Raph looked away.
splinter put his paw on the child chin and turned his face towards him.
"My son, listen." Raphael stared into his fathers eyes no matter how much he didn't understand.
Mikey glanced over at Leo who was crossing his arms and tapping his foot.
Splinter sat Mikey down and took Raphael to the dojo.
Mikey was confused, "d-dada?" He called out.
————-Splinter sat down as Raphael went to crawl out of his fathers arms.
Splinter stopped him, Raph looked at his father and whined.
Splinter sighed, perhaps he'd have to wait another year or two to possibly teach Raphael sign Language...
But this small boy was so stubborn it take him hours to teach him.
————-
Donatello sat on the couch watching tv as his head lay on Leo's shoulder.Mikey was asleep in Leo's lap snoring softly. Leo smiled he loved his little brothers a lot.
To much he couldn't describe it in words actually.
Splinter came out of the dojo and placed Raph by his brothers.
Leo glanced at his dad then at Raph, Raph was a tad confused but he cuddled onto Leo, holding Leo's arm.
Leo twitched a bit, but relaxed he was being cuddled by his little brothers.
Splinter smiled at the scene aswell.
_______________*+^The Next Day^+*
Splinter's nose twitched as a familiar aroma filled his nose. Morning air.
Splinter got up and tied on his robe, he walked out into the kitchen.
He started getting dishes out for his sons. He then got out the forks.
Splinter poured himself some tea while he cooked some breakfast for his sons.
Splinter placed the steamy bacon on his sons plates along with an egg.
He placed a peice of lettuce on the side of the dish.
Turtles love lettuce and his sons where no exemption.
Splinter smiled as he went to wake his sons.
He opened the door to the tots shared room.
Leonardo, the eldest was sleeping soundly he looked rather peaceful.
Michelangelo was hanging off the bed as hot breaths came from the poor child.
Donatello was sleeping just like Leonardo very peaceful..
Raphael was sleeping on his stomach, he sounded peaceful aswell.
Splinter walked up to the bed and shook his sons.
"My sons it's time to wake up." Splinter hurried.
Leonardo turned to splinter and moaned In tiredness.
Donatello was the second to wake up, he looked at his father and grinned.
Splinter smiled back as he shook Raphael and Michelangelo.
Raphael woke up as his emerald eyes glowed. He smiled looking at his father.
Michelangelo woke up and giggled looking at his father.
Splinter picked up all his sons and carried them to the kitchen.
He sat them all down in a seat, they all cracked a large yawn.
Which Splinter found adorable. The boys all looked at their plates they all went different approach's.
Leonardo, went for the bacon first which he was very delighted with.
Donatello went for the egg, which he enjoyed very much.
Michelangelo went for the bacon too, he enjoyed it almost as much as Leo did.
Raphael went for the egg just like Donnie. And he seemed to like it.
Splinter smiled and was surprised when nobody ate the lettuce?!
"Leonardo can you eat your lettuce please?" Leo looked at his dad and shook his head.
Splinter sighed and asked Donatello. Donnie had the same response Leo had.
Mikey looked at the lettuce and gave it a tiny bite. He scrunched up his beak and swallowed it.
"Hey, it's pretty good!" Mikey smiled eating the rest of it.
"See boys your little brother enjoys it." Donnie and Leo looked at eat other.
Leo shrugged and took a bite, "hey it is good!" Leo grinned.
Donnie did not take a bite he figured if he really wanted it, he'd eat it, but he really didn't.
Raphael looked around until his father tapped his shoulder. Raph looked at his father.
Splinter pointed to the lettuce on the table, Raph looked at it and picked it up taking a small bite.
Splinter smiled, Raph spit it out. Splinters smile faded as he sighed.
"Alright boys, go ahead and run off don't do anything that'll get you into trouble." Leo nodded along with Mikey and Donnie.
Donnie grabbed Raph's arm dragging his off the chair. Raph followed Donnie.
Donnie took Raph to the living room as they sat on the couch. Donnie took out a book.
That read: "Sign Language" Donnie smiled.
