((Y/N))'s POV:

It's 2am  and screaming and shouting is coming from my parents room. This isn't unusual though; they always argue, but not for 2 full hours, most of the time they fight for about 20 minutes. I can only make out a few things like " she needs to know the truth", " we said we would keep it a secret " and " ye for as long as we could ". Thousands of questions roam my mind: what secret? Are they talking about me? I am so lost in thought that I don't hear footsteps heading towards me and my bedroom door creaking open.
" What are you doing up at this time? " My dad says snapping me out of my thoughts. I look at him.
" I couldn't sleep " I reply quietly. He sighs,
" Because of us? " He asks, I nod my head slowly before looking down and my dad sighs again.
" Dad. Were you talking about me?" I question him. I can see it in his face that he was hoping I didn't hear the obvious things, but of course, I did.
" It's complicated sweetheart."
" Oh just tell her already," a loud voice came from the door startling me and my dad. I turn to see and angry figure of my mum.
" Not yet. I'll tell her tomorrow. " My mum just scoffs and walks off while my dad tucks me in (that's the first time I've had someone do that in years), he kisses my forehead and says goodnight.

My room is dark again and I am alone staring at my ceiling. I am still confused but it doesn't take long before I drift off to sleep.

((D/N)) POV:

"She needs to know the truth." ((M/N)) yells at me. This conversation about ((Y/N)) has been going on for god knows how long now.
"We said we'd keep it a secret," I shout.
" Ye for as long as we could," she shouts back. I cannot believe this, she wants to end our perfect family, true ((Y/N)) isn't our real daughter but we took care of her, raised her and I love her as if she was my own. I still remember how she came to be a part of our lives.

Flashback

Me and ((M/N)) are just heading home from my cousins wedding reception and ((M/N)) is really drunk. I can't wait to get home, fall into bed and doze off. Suddenly she starts running off and screaming, I chase after my wasted wife until she turns into an alley. I see her stood there staring, after following her gaze I find out what made her so surprised. There, standing before us, is a human sized rat wearing clothes.
I look at it in shock my mouth gaping, easily I can tell that it was just as surprised to see me as I was of him. My wife laughs drunkenly and collapses. I check to see if she okay then turn back to the giant rat in front of me.
"Hello my name is Splinter. What is yours?" He says slowly and gently.
"((D-D/N)) and this is ((M-M/N))" I stutter
"It is okay I will, not hurt you I promise," he smiles at me I am still a bit on edge but he seems nice so I smile back to show my trust. Then ((M/N)) leaps up making me jump.
"What did I miss?" She asks I walk over to her and hold her hand
"Darling this is Splinter, he's a friend. I think..?"
"I am" Splinter reassures me "and as a friend I have a favour to ask" me and my wife look at each then back at Splinter confused, but we nod.
"We will do what we can" my wife answers, Splinter smiles and goes over to a big cardboard box, he puts his hands in and pulls out...a...a little baby girl. She is really cute.
"Take my daughter" he says holding her out to us. Wait what? Why would he give a way his child? What is going through his head? I see him look in the box again. Weird.
"I'm sorry what?" I question him to make sure I heard him correctly.
"Take her. Please" he begs. Splinter looks in the box once more, what's in there?
"Why would you want us to take your daughter? " says ((M/N)).
"Ye and what else is in there?" I ask and he quickly looks back at us.
"Nothing. And I have enemies that would hurt her if they got the chance and I can't bare to think about me losing her. Please take her and raise her as your own". Again me and my wife look at each other and, like she read my mind she nods. "We will take her and we will keep you a secret."
Splinter sighs in relief "but we cannot promise that she will not know about you all her life" he nods an understanding then passes the baby to my wife. Now I can see that she has lovely ((E/C)) eyes, flushy red cheeks and a golden heart shaped necklace around her tiny neck. I stare into the baby's eyes and smile then I turn back to talk to Splinter but he is already gone and so is the cardboard box. ((M/N)) walks away with the child in her arms, I follow her but then I see a note on the floor addressed to us. It reads...

Dear ((D/N)) and ((M/N)),
I'm sorry I had to leave you before answering all your questions but I had to go.
It breaks my heart to let her go but I know she will better of away from me.
I believe that you both will be brilliant parents and raise my daughter well,
definitely better than I ever could. Take care of her, she is my world.
Thank you for everything you are doing I really appreciate it.
From Splinter
P.S. her name is ((Y/N)).

After I finish reading I catch up to my wife and new daughter, and head home.

End of flashbacks.

It was a good day. But tomorrow I will have to tell her truth.

Downstairs after speaking to ((Y/N))

"You wimp. You couldn't do it" my wife says as I enter the kitchen.
"I wanted to give her one more good night sleep" after that she leaves the room and goes upstairs with her drink.
"Goodnight" I hear ((M/N)) reply before our bedroom door slams shut. I make a hot drink, not knowing how long I was stood still for, and go to bed myself.
I climb in bed, my wife already fast asleep proving how long I have been downstairs. I stare up thinking and planning how I am going to break the news to ((Y/N)) without her freaking out. After a while I fall asleep: dreaming about the day we first met Splinter and ((Y/N)).
