Mr and Mrs Hamato

Chapter 10 - Fool to Love

There she was. 

Smiling ever so sweetly. Her curly hair perfectly framed her face, her tan skin shimmering under the purple lights, and her eyes like diamonds. She is perfect. To Donatello, despite his brain telling him that these feelings were all for not, his heart said otherwise. 

Sil, as the others did not know as Dianne, finally woke up from her overnight stay in the medbay. Mikey was the first to stumble upon her in the late morning. Thrilled to see her awake, Mikey screamed for joy. Which caused a series of chaotic events starting with Donatello rushing to the medbay with a blow torch in his hands prepared to burn the face of whatever menace decided to disturb his tinkering, his brother, and the girl, "WHO DARES-". The next chaotic turtle entered shouting "Leon's got it" and slammed right into Donnie.

Sil winced and before she could say anything a blur of red burst through the door. Raphael's eyes widened in glee, rushing over to Sil's bedside and began to check over her frantically, meanwhile Donnie and Leo began tussling on the floor for who knows what reason. Cassandra, April, and Sunita swooped right after Raph and like a flock of mother hens, they began to fret over Sil. 

Finally, to complete the series of chaotic events, in came the angry goatman with a half-awake rat father and the one and only Casey Jones Jr. Just like every protective father-like-figure over their daughter-like-figure, Draxum felt steam coming out of his ears when he saw the red-clad turtle and the pesky girls hovering worriedly over Sil. "Give my girl her space!" Draxum pushed each of them away much to their dismay and held Sil's face with utter care.  

" You're alright," Sil heard the pain in his voice and quickly laid one of her hand's over his, sinking into her uncle's gentle touch, nodding. "I am," Sil assures him multiple times. Draxum kept her hands close to himself, shedding a tear of gratefulness. He then gave Sil the most tender of kisses on her forehead and whispered to her to never give him a heart attack again. 

"Awwwww...." a chorus of cooing from the group of teens made Draxum blush out of embarrassment. "I always knew you were full of sunshine," Mikey beamed and hugged Draxum, the latter allowing the turtles to embrace. 

Laughing, Splinter patted her head, "Glad to see you all right. Orange was so excited for you to wake up, he made you breakfast." Sil melted out of pure adoration, telling Mikey she could not wait to eat. The orang turtle blushed, "Aww it's nothing, but if you're feeling it I made pancakes!!!"

"Ohhh yeah," Leo hugged his younger brother. "Sil, you need to try his pancakes."

"Yeah, girl. Don't miss out on the Hamato specialty. Plus, you can hang out with us once you get your groove back." April and the girls high-fived each other enthusiastically shouting, "Girl's day out!"

The she-thief felt her heart warm at the sight. Normally humans don't go celebrating over some random stranger's recovery, especially after knowing them for a day or two. Sil woke up just expecting a 'get well soon' card and definitely a visit from her uncle. To wake up to a group of smiley, and teary-eyed combo family of mutants, yokai, and humans is a surprise to be sure but a welcomed one. 

In this case, with her heart now warmed to the core she decided then and there to bestow upon them her identity. 

"Thanks, everyone. Really," Sil smiled gently while readjusting herself to sit on the medical bed. "Mikey, I am down to try those pancakes."

The orange turtle jumped with joy. 

"I really thank you all. You put your lives on the line for mine without really knowing me and I owe all of you, big time." she was never one for heartfelt and emotional thanking but the turtle family got the message.
