Four Real Turtles

The Beging

He lied there. Back on the ruff mattress. A purple sweater that Father Adam had been so kind to give it to him after having it for him self as a little orphan. He sighed.
"Donatello." Father Adam called from the doorway.
Donnie didn't budge.
"Donatello!" Father Adam called again. Moving over to Donnie's side and lightly shook the little child. "Earth to Donnie!"
"Huh?" Donnie snapped out.
"Lunch!" Father Adam smiled. He looked out side then closed the window.
"Hey I wanted that open!" Donnie fought.
"It's snowing like crazy, Donnie. Did you forget it's a day until Christmas Eve?"
Donnie shook his head happily. "Nope!" Soon his smiles turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?"
"I want a family for Christmas!" Donnie cried.
Adam hugged the child. "Its okay sweetie..."
The next morning, all the boys in the long stretches room slept. Trying to find warmth in the small blankets and little pillows. Father Adam came in, as usual, he blew his trumpet and all the boys began to wake up. As soon as Father Adam could see the whites of the little boys eyes he announced, "5 minutes to make you bed and get dressed for the day!" He left, leaving the boys to do as needed.
This was nothing out of the ordinary.
Donnie quickly made his bed and got dressed.
Raph got dressed but never made his bed as he refused to do "chores".
Although making a bed was simple, Leo could never do hospital corners correctly.
Mikey couldn't find his shirt and was never able to make the bed "perfect".
Soon the 5 minutes were up and Adam came in. "Everyone except for Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Raphael may go for breakfast."
Donnie stayed.
"Donatello, you may leave." Father Adam addressed.
"I want to stay for my brothers!" Donnie protested.
"I find it very sweet that you consider them your brothers when they aren't related to you."
" I thought you said 'everyone's brothers and sisters in the eyes of the Lord.'" Mikey said holding his teddy bear with teary eyes.
"I did, however, what I am saying is being brothers by blood." Father Adam explained. "Now, Michaelangelo," Father Adam made the bed for him. "You need to learn how to make your bed. What if you get adopted and your only chore is to make you bed, you'd get in trouble, right?"
Mikey cried. "Sorry Father Adam!"
Father Adam hugged Mikey. "Its okay. Now Leonardo. I've told you, you don't have to do hospital corners if you don't want too. And Raphael. I've told you, I don't care if you don't want to do 'chores'. It is still required, and this is the 20th time, in counting, I've told you to make your bed. Now turn around." Father Adam instructed.
Raph hesitantly did so.
Father Adam spanked Raph once. "That one isn't for making your bed." Again, he hit. "And that one for giving me attitude last night about going to bed. Now turn back around."
Raph did so and hugged Father Adam.

Later that day, Father Adam came in and told the boys to pack up all their stuff.
Donnie cried as he predicted they weren't getting adopted together.
Leo helped Mikey.
Raph didn't care about a family But about getting a toy.
They boys entered the office to see Father Adam, Mother Cate, and a tall man smiling at them...
