Regrets

That's Him?!

It had been nearly a week since the scan and Leo was now showing a slight baby bump that was all noticeable if you stared at it for a while.

"Well?" Alopex asked when Tigerclaw hung up.

"The principle can see us at lunch. She doesn't know what it's about." He sighed.

"So do we take her or not?" She asked, referring to Leo.

"I don't see why not, she has to face up to it sooner or later."

"And the father as, we take them both?"

"We can't. Leona still won't tell us his name and we can't force it out of her." He sighed. Just then Leo came down stairs dressed in jeans and a baggy sweater.

"Did you mean what you said about going to see the principle?" She asked.

"Yes, at lunch."

"All of us?" She asked nervously and they nodded. "Well, if she asks me who the father is I'm not going to say." She glared.

"Well you'll have to sooner or later, because word will get out about the baby and he's getting away with it when he's as much to blame as you." Alopex glared.

Leona just looked at the ground to avoid her mother's gaze...

At lunch Tigerclaw and his family pulled up outside the school as the other teens minded their own business. As they walked up to the school a soccer ball came flying their way. Tigerclaw caught it and passed it to a boy.

To Raphael.

"Oh no." Leo whispered as her eyes widened and her hand unconsciously went to her abdomen.

"Do you know him?" Alopex asked as her husband kicked the ball around with Raphael and his friends, unaware of his daughter's discomfort. It was then that she saw her daughter's expression and hand and her eyes widened, connecting the dots. "Him?! That's him?!" She exclaimed.

Leo didn't answer, she didn't move.

"Tigerclaw!" Alopex cried when her husband came back over to them after playing soccer with the boys. "That's Him!" She glared at Raph. The emerald green turtle felt their eyes on his and he turned to look at them in confusion.

At first he didn't understand what his wife was saying until he saw his daughter, her expression filled in the blanks. All Tigerclaw saw was red as he turned back to Raph.

"Tigerclaw, leave it!" Alopex pleaded. The mutant tiger quickly walked over to a table were some kids were eating their lunch.

"What's that boys name?" He asked them, pointing at Raph.

"Hamato Raphael." One of them replied. Suddenly Alopex grabbed her husband and started pulling him towards the car.

"I've changed my mind, we're going home." She growled as they climbed into the car and went home...

The next morning Tigerclaw and Alopex were in the kitchen and they were not happy.

"I'm just worried, that's all. One minute we're going to face then the next we pretend that nothing has happened." Tigerclaw explained to his wife. Suddenly the floor creaked and they turned to see Leo behind them.

"I heard you talking about me." She shrugged.

"Are you surprised?" Alopex glared.

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"I'm not exactly proud of what you've done!"

"You think I'm a slut don't you?"

"I don't think anything of the sort!" Alopex exclaimed as Leo sighed in annoyance.

"I'm going to April's."

"No you're not!"

"Stop telling me what to do all the time!" Leo shouted as there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it, just keep it down." Tigerclaw glared as he left the kitchen, not that the girls seemed to notice.

"Yeah I did tell you what to do! But I didn't expect you to put it into practice at 15 years old!"

"It's not all my fault!" Leo screamed at the fox as tears rolled down her face. Just then Tigerclaw came back looking uneasy. The girls shut up and looked at him.

"We've got a visitor," He sighed as a middle-aged human woman walked in wearing a suit and holding a clipboard. "Social Services."...
