Our Family (TMNT FANFIC)

First Snow of Christmas

I wake up early in the morning to a frost covered lair and snoring turtles beside me.
After sitting up with a yawn I exit to the living room and let the boys sleep. I sit down on the couch, close my eyes, and take in the peace and quiet. Suddenly, a tiny voice calls out to me.

"Papa?"

I sigh and turn around to see Michelangelo standing in the door way, with his teddy bear in his hand.

"Good morning, my son," I say with a smile. He yawns with a stretch and joins me on the couch.

After a moment he crawls into my lap looks around the layer.

"Why don't we have a twee?" He asks, looking at me confused.

"What's that?" I respond also confused.

"Nikki said that when it's Chwismas time...your sappost to put up a twee," he answers.

"Oh," I reply with a realizing smile," you mean a Christmas tree. Yes, most people put those up and decorate them for the holidays."

"Why not us?" He ask.

"We don't really have one," I answer honestly.

"There's a twee in your woom, we could decowate that one,"he replies.

I consider the idea for a moment.

"Okay," I say,"I suppose that one would work."

"Gweat!" Michalangelo exclaims with a wide grin," wets go!"

"Now?" I try to ask, but Michelangelo jumps off my lap. He runs strait toward my room where our little tree sits in the moon light.

I find him standing there, in front of the tree, with his thumb and pointer figure resting on his chin quizically.

"Now..." he says," what sould go on first."

I roll my eyes with a smile and reply," how about lights."

"Where do we get those?" He asks. I think for a moment of where we could get lights.

...

A little while later, after scavenging threw the city dumpsters, I string the old and blinkety Christmas lights around our tree.

"Looks good," I say happily.

"Looks awesome," Michelangelo agrees," now... Ordimants!"

I chuckle as we search threw the lair, for something to put on the tree. Most of the stuff we also make out of paper mache.

As we're walking back, Donatello comes out of the room rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on?" He asks sleepily.

"We're decorating our tree for Chwismass!" Michelangelo exclaims," wanna help?"

Donatello shrugs his shoulders and answers," shure."

"Awsome!" Michelangelo says excitedly, grabbing Donatello's arm and pulling him to where the tree is. Together we all place the "Ordimants" on the small frial branches.

Afterwords, we take a step back to admire our work.

"Hmm..." Michelangelo says," not bad...but something's missing."

"There's traditionally a star, or Angel, on top," Donatello replies.

Michelangelo holds up a finger and says," got it!"

He then places his stuffed bear on the top of the tree.

"Or...that" Donatello replies.

I chuckle as Leonardo and Raphael walk into the room.

"What are you guys doing?" Leonardo asks.

"Check out our twee!" Michelangelo says excitedly. They look at one another questionably, then the two of them walk forward ,eyes wide.

"Woah...cool," Raphael says with a slight smile.

"Isn't it gweat!" Michelangelo replies

The other turtles nod at one another and we all sit around the tree.

A few minutes later I feel something wet and cold touch my nose. I look up in surprise to see little white specks falling threw the sewer vents above us. They blow in softly and land all around us.

"What is it?" Leonardo asks holding out his hands and looking up.

"Snow," I answer with a smile.

"Pretty..." Michaelangelo says amazed as he reaches out toward a snowflake.

"Yes," I agree,"they are beautiful."

Rapheal yawns and falls asleep in my lap, while Donatello climbs on top of my shoulder to get a closer look.

We then all stare up silently at the gently falling snow flakes as they descend.

I smile to myself and enjoy our first snow together.
