The Life We Live In (The Life of Me and My Family series)

Chapter 9

Morgan's POV:

"I'm so glad your back." Leo sighed as he hugged me from behind. I smiled and turned around so I can hug him back. "I am as well." We both stared at each other in silence, getting lost into each others eyes. Leo leaned in a kissed me. Without hesitation I kissed back... but this wasn't like any kiss we had before. This one was different.... A good different to be honest.

"Oh my goodness!! We never got married yet!" I suddenly said as I pulled away from the kiss. Leo looked at me confused at first then his expressing looked like mine. We both looked panicked. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! We never really started planning this out! What are we going to do? Do you still wanna get married?" I asked while walking around our bedroom.

Leo grabbed my shoulders and looked at me in the eye. "Morgan of course I still wanna marry you! Just breath... we have plenty of time to figure this out. How about you and the girls go shopping and me and the guys will figure things out." I took a deep breath and nodded my head. Leo smiled at me and kissed my cheek "You're to cute!" I laughed a little "Thanks I try." Leo chuckled and kissed my forehead again before leaving.

I curled my long brown hair and put on a little mascara to make my green eyes pop. Then I changed into my strapless sports bra and put on a white crop top along with some jean shorts and my silver sparkly flip flops. Before walking out of my bedroom to go wake up the girls.

Gwen was already awake, laying in her and Raph's bed. She struggled to get out of Raph's grib without waking him up but after what felt like forever she finally did. "We are going shopping for the wedding so get ready." I whispered to her. She frowned at the word shopping then pushed me out of the room to get ready. Next I went to Donnie and Charlies shared room. Nobody was there so I figured that they were in lab so I just moved onto Emma and Mikey's room. I gasped when I opened the door. His room has never been this clean before! It was amazing! Both of them were snoring and sprawled out on there bed. I tried not to laugh as I poked Emma's cheek. She didn't do anything the first time so I tickled her waist. Emma jumped out if bed and screamed then started laughing. I quickly covered her mouth so she wouldn't wake up Mikey who happened to still be asleep. "We are going shopping for the wedding so get ready." Emma smiled at me and nodded before skipping over to her closet to get ready.

I knocked on the lab door a few times then waited. Charlie opened it and we both smiled. "Good morning Morgan! How are you feeling?" I smiled at Donnie who was in the back before answering "Good morning to you too, and I feel great. The girls and I are going shopping for the wedding, do you wanna come?" Charlie looked at Donnie for approval and he just smiled at her. "She is all yours Morgan." I chuckled a little bit "Yay! Thanks Don." He smiled at Charlie and I "No problem."

All the girls met in the sewers after getting ready. Gwen put her red hair in a high ponytail, had a small amount of mascara on that complimented her brown eyes. She was wearing a black tank top with white jean shorts and black flip flops. Charlie hair was fishtail braided off to the side and as usual she had no makeup. She wore a purple crop top, white shorts and purple flats to match her shirt. Emma's hair was curled like mine but put into a pony tail, along with her regular make up such as mascara and blush with some lip gloss. She had on a pink tank top with regular jean shorts and some cowgirl boots.

We made sure that nobody saw us before we climbed out of the sewers and walked onto the streets. Since non of us had anything to eat we all stopped at a restaurant for some breakfast before going to our first store for wedding dresses. We got our food pretty quick and finished before heading off to our first store.

"Hello ladies, is there anything I can do for you today?" A nice girl who looked to be in her early thirties asked us. We all smiled at her politely "Yes actually. I'm getting married but I've never looked at any dresses yet so I don't really know where to start." I said kinda sheepishly. She gave me a warm smile "I know just the dress I want you to try on first."

"What do you think?" She asked. I looked in the mirror and looked at myself in the dress. It was a ball gown dress with a sweetheart neckline. It was very silky and had beautiful big gray jewels outlining the top of the dress. "I wanna show my group." I said smiling. I walked out and everyone gasped "You look so beautiful!" "It's perfect!" "Oh hot damn!" Everyone said at the same time. I laughed and looked at Charlie "Since when did you start to curse?" She laughed at me and rolled her eyes. "How much do you like it on a scale one threw ten?" The ladies helping us ask me. "Uhh.... I would say a eight.. I still wanna try stuff on before I'm sure this is the one." She smiled at me "Of course."

Charlies POV:

"Should I tell her?" I asked as Morgan went back into the dressing room. Gwen and Emma looked at each other. "Not today.... we can't let her worry about this now." Gwen said. I nodded my head in agreement. "So Morgan has no idea that she has super human abilities?" Emma asked a bit worried. "Unless Donnie or Leo told her but it can happen at any time. It can even be triggered from a very strong emotion she is feeling and it's possible she can destroy everything around her.... her powers are dangerous but if she learns to control them it can be very useful." Gwen and Emma nodded there head while taking in this information. "Are you sure that she has these abilities?" I nodded my head sadly "Yes.... The worst part is since she has that connection with Splinter when ever she uses her power she is also using all of Splinters strength... and that can kill him."

Gwen isn't much of a crying person but I felt bad when I saw a tear stream down her face. "Well I'm still gonna be here to help her..... even if it will kill me." Gwen said the last part in barely a whisper. Emma and I both nodded.

As Morgan walked out of the dressing room in a different dress all of us instantly sat back in our chairs and smiled at her as she looked at us. When we all agreed that, that wasn't her dress she went back to try another on.

We all sighed and slouched again when she went back into the dressing room. Today was gonna be a long day...
