"Good morning my sweet baby boy Leo! Did you sleep well?" He barely talks, he mostly just stares or smiles at me. His pediatrician says he's perfectly fine and there's nothing wrong with him he's just quiet and that he talked a bit during his check up. "Let's get you dressed and ready for the day, yeah?" He smiles again, I kiss his little cheeks and he laughs. "What should we do today?" I ask him as I dress him. Everyone is at work all the kids are in school. Angel decided to get a job at a clothing store and the other girls decided to go back to doing what they love now it's just me and little Leo. "How about we go out for breakfast?" He nods.
At the restaurant I order him a waffle with fruit on the side and bacon. "Thank you mama." I smile at his words. Sometimes he speaks and sometimes he don't. "You're welcome Leo, is it good?" He nods taking another bite. "What do you want to do after this?" Our waiter comes back to check on us and hands me the ticket. He doesn't respond to my question. "Ok how about we go to the mall and find you some new shoes and maybe new outfits to dress you in." Again he doesn't respond, he's back to being quiet again.
The mall is packed I made sure Leo stayed strapped in his stroller. We make it through the crowd to one of the children stores Angel works in. "Hey babes, hi Leo. What are you two up too?" She holds a clothing in her arms. "We just finished breakfast and now we're here shopping after this we might go to the park." She sets the clothing down. "You should put him in head start that way he can socialize more with kids his age." Just the thought of letting him go scares me. "No, I can't, I can't let him go, not yet." I can't let him go. "You know, he looks exactly like your Leo especially when he's in his turtle form. You're not keeping him close because he's a copy and paste of Leo." Leo looks up at me and smile with his pretty blue eyes. "Blue, he will come back to you. You are his home and he knows that." I shake my head. "It's been 4 years, if he knows that then why is he not here with me and the kids. I gave birth to Leo without him, I had to go through many heats without him, I had to take care of the kids without him thinking that he's dead and he's not and now he won't come home." Angel wipes my tears. "Babes, everything will be ok. How about putting Leo in head start and you work here with me. It will get your mind off him. Leo will do great in head start maybe that will get him to talk more and socialize. You have him so close and closed up." I look back at him and sigh. "Ok, ok I will try. Is Raph still looking for Leo?" Angel nods. "He's been doing solo missions and pulling all nighters looking for him. Rebecca is getting worried and your mother is worried about you she hasn't heard from you in a while. You closed yourself off from us and your other kids except for Leo. Blue, you need to talk to someone." I look away. "I will think about it, I should go." I stead of visiting other stores and shopping I leave and go home.
"Momma!" I sigh going into the boys room and Caesar without his tail. "What happened? Anthony what did you do?" I ask angrily. Mikey comes upstairs grabbing my shoulder. "Woah dudette chill it was probably an accident. I will handle it you should-" he's cut off by a loud crash. I go downstairs in the living room to find the glass art piece Leo made for me shattered on the ground. Lea looks at me. "It was an accident." Something in me snapped. I grabbed her frustrated about the glass heart, frustrated about Leo about everything. "What did you do! What the hell did you do?" She cries as I continued to shake her in anger. "Do you even know what you did?" I feel myself being pulled away from her Mikey wraps me in his arms trying to calm me down while Kiki checks on Lea for any bruising. "She fine, she's just scared." Tears pour down my face as I fight wanting him to let me go. I scratch and growl at him to let me go. "I'm calling her mother." Donnie walks up to me with a needle and stick me in the arm. "This should calm her."
I wake up curled up on the couch facing the wall. I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to look at anyone. "Blue? It's your mother." I don't move. "Mikey told me what happened, what the hell we're you thinking? You love your kids and is very protective of them. Now you're distant from them except from Leo, that's not fair to them or to you. Maybe if it was for losing him- I mean..." My ears perk at that. I sit up looking at her. "What?" Raph walks through the door and growl. "All of you lost Leo?!" Everyone comes out from wherever they were and look at each other. "Sorry everyone it slipped." They all knew! "Blue sit, we need to tell you what really happened." I can't believe they all knew he was alive! "When we found out Leo was poisoned we all thought he was dead but they were able to resuscitate him but he didn't wake up. Mikey went to check on him and Leo was gone, we kind of lost him at that point. We told Rebecca not to tell you the truth about the situation so we made you think he was dead. We're sorry, we truly are." I get up. "All of you made me think he was dead, but he was alive this whole time." I point at Raph. "That's why you been pulling all nighters, to make up for your stupid mistake." I scoff at them. "I thought all of you were my friends that I can trust. Especially you Angel, you're my sister you. I thought we would never hide secrets from each other. You lied to me in my face knowing I was hurting." Her ears go back. "I'm sorry." I look at her with a dull look in my eyes. "No, you're not, I will be in my room, don't bother me." And I leave.
