Emily hugged her arms to her chest as Donatello injected the mutagen into Splinter. her heart and mind were ablaze with prayers, desperately hoping, he would be alright. His sons huddled around, praying the same thing. She looked up at a gasp.

"Mikey..."

"Huh?"

"Mikey come closer." The orange-bandana wearing turtle leaned over his sensei/father, cupping his ear to hear him better. As soon as Mikey pulled back, Leo pounced.

"What'd he say?, What he say?"

"He said, please get your knee off my chest." The others began to laugh in relief.

"Sensei!"

"You're alive!" Raph grinned, full on grinned.

"It worked!"

"I'm sorry. This was all my fault."

"You were right. We weren't ready." Splinter sighed.

"No. It was I, who wasn't ready. To let you go. All you need, was to discover that your true power lies in believing in one another."

The brothers stepped back, looking at each other. Mikey put his hands on his head, removing them and making explosion noises. Emily laughed softly, catching Splinter's attention. Motioning to his sons, they helped him stand. Emily stood there with a smile and tears running down her face as Splinter walked towards her.

"Emily..." He wrapped one arm around her waist as he lifted his other hand to her cheek and rubbed her tears away.

"Yeah?" Splinter smiled, yanked her to his chest, causing her to gasp in surprise, and wrap her arms around him. Splinter tightened his grip on her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Splinter!, What are you do-"

"I love you too." Her eyes widened, and then she smiled softly at him as she looked up at him as he looked down at her. They're eyes closed slowly as they leaned towards each other and then they're lips met in a passionate kiss. The turtles cheered and clapped each other on the shoulder. Emily and Splinter broke the kiss, and smiled at each other with love in their eyes.

"You know what this means?" Mikey grabbed Raph, shaking him back and forth. "We have a real mom now!" Emily laughed, pure joy filling the air.

"Of course, sweetie." Mikey whopped, wrapping his arms around his father and Emily. The other shrugged, joining in on the group hug. Splinter chuckled, resting his forehead on Emily's temple. She hummed, pressing into the touch.

"Looks like I'll be staying a longer than anticipated." He chuckled, kissing her cheek.

"I think we can deal with that. After all, our family is only as strong as it is because of you." Emily smiled, sighing in content.

"Yeah. I guess you're right." She smiled at her sons.

Splinter turned her head with his hand and kissed her again.

"I love you Emily O'Neil, forever and always" He said to her softly while smiling. She smiled back at him.

"I love you Master Splinter, forever and always"

She rested her head on his chest as he laid his chin on her head.

"So, how are you guys going to sleep together, and make love in bed, also when will we expected little siblings." Mikey asked.

Emily and Splinter's heads shot up towards him. Their eyes were wide and they were blushing up a storm. Leo, Raph, and Don glared at Mikey.

"Shut up, Mikey!!!"
