Chapter One

Thumping, that's all he could hear. Loud thumping all around him. He was panting hearing guns going off. Screams. Fire. Opening his eyes he stood there looking down at the burning foot ninja's a helmet in his one hand that was covered in blood. In and out of blackness the same until it went black and quiet.
I can see you Raphael Hamato.

R: (Gasps!)

Raph sat up and started panting heavily as he put a hand on his heart and head. Looking down at his hands he saw the blood on them making his pupils start shaking. Feeling a hand touch his arm he flinched and looked down seeing you worriedly looking at him.

"Hey..."
R: I...I'm sorry I woke you...
"Don't be...do you want to talk about it?"
R: no...
"Are you ok?"
R:...no...
"Do you want a hug?"
R: (sniffles) yes please...

You embraced him and held him closely as you laid back down for bed and he exhaled as he looked out the porch and saw a shadowy figure making him sit up and look. You looked too and then looked up at him.

"What is it?"
R: nothing...thought I saw something...
"It was probably just a tree."
R: yeah...

He laid back down and he looked at you as you pulled yourself closely to him and rubbed his shell. He held you closely and played with your hair looking out onto the porch.

(The next day)
You woke up to the sun on your face as you yawned and sat up stretching as Raph laid on his side and snored. Looking at him you smiled happy that he got back to sleep. Sighing quietly being worried about him. He's been having nightmares more frequently lately and it's starting to worry you. He doesn't want to talk about it but you know it's bothering him. You looked at him again and smiled and chuckled blushing as you pecked his cheek. He stopped snoring and looked at you with a smile.

R: good morning love.
"Morning handsome.."

You got up and Raph did too. As you went to the bathroom he sighed and rubbed his neck. He couldn't sleep the rest of the night and he didn't want you to worry about him. He felt like someone was watching him. He got up and looked outside out of the curtains. You walked out of the bathroom seeing him do that you worriedly went up behind him and held his arm making him look at you.

"Raph..."
R: I'm ok sweetheart promise...just thought I saw something...
"Ok.."

You kissed his cheek and squeezed his hand before starting to get ready to head on over to the guys today. Packing your bags you looked up at him and he looked at you. Knowing he didn't want to talk about it, you changed the subject.

"You know what I realized something."
R: yeah what's that?
"From this point on. We're parents, till the day we die."

Raph looked at you confused and pointed at you.

R: you didn't realize that when you were pregnant with our kids?

You shrugged.

"I knew I was pregnant and we were having kids, but from this day forth-"
R: technically three days ago.
"Ok as of three days ago you and I are responsible for making decent beings to send out into the world."

Raph stood there as he folded clothes putting them into a bag he sighed and shook his head.

"What?"
R: nothing it's just their screwed...

You laughed and Raph rubbed his head and looked at you.

R: do you know the return policy?
"(Laughs) Raph!"
R: what!?
