Regrets

Confessions

"I didn't tell anybody and Tigerclaw didn't tell anybody, so how come everybody knows?" Alopex asked her daughter after Leo had calmed down a bit.

"I don't know." She sniffed.

"Did you tell ant of your friends you might be pregnant?" She pushed.

"No, I didn't tell my friends." Leo insisted. "I only told April."

"April?!" Alopex exclaimed in disbelief. "Tigerclaw, she told April! You promised you wouldn't tell anybody!"

"She promised me she wouldn't tell anyone!"

"Oh April promised did she?" Tigerclaw glared. "Well I think she broke that promise."

"It was only the three of us that knew, we were going to keep it quiet! I'll kill that April O'Neil!" Alopex shouted.

"Well that doctor knew and that social worker knew so you won't going to keep it secret for much longer!"

"We trusted you!"

"It was my secret to tell!"

"CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!?!"

"THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE BOTHERED IS NOW YOU CAN'T SHIP ME OFF TO JAPAN!!!" Leo screamed loudly.

"No one's going to Japan! Alright, yeah, we might of thought about it, seemed like a good idea at the time, but we might as well forget that now!" Tigerclaw exclaimed.

"No." Alopex suddenly said.

"What do you mean no? This changes everything!" He snapped, holding up the school news paper.

"Yes it does." She nodded. "We all go, you as well."...

"Woah, didn't expect her to get pregnant, always thought it be Karai." Donnie shrugged as he read the school paper.

Raph remained frozen in the hallway.

"Well that's what you get for sleeping around." Yoshi glared at his plate, and just like that the lock on Raph's temper snapped.

"DON'T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!!"

Yoshi glared At his son as he stood he and walked up to his oldest son. "What did you just say to me Raphael?" He hissed, but Raph stood firm.

"That baby Leona is carryin' is my kid."

That next sound was a hard slap against skin...

"So you really think we're going to be able to immigrate by 9am?" Tigerclaw asked his wife. Leona had locked herself in her room and her parents were in the kitchen.

"We don't need too, it's just one school." She replied.

"No it's not. Everyone in that school got these mailed to their homes so their families know about and they'll tell their friends and those people will tell their friends."

"I don't know what you mean."

"Of course you do!" He exclaimed. "The word's out! We might as well have a sign outside, '15 year old pregnant girl, enquire within'!"

"So we face it." She mumbled before going to their room...

10 minutes later Leo came downstairs in her pyjamas, Tigerclaw was sat on the couch.

"You ok?" He asked when he saw her.

"Not really, I don't want all my friends looking and talking about me behind my back." She sighed sadly as she sat next to him. Her dad sighed and wrapped his arm around her.

"Well they're going to, and then they'll move onto something else." He explained.

"Only did it once." She sniffed.

"I'm sorry sweetie, you were just unlucky."

"She was naive." Alopex suddenly said from behind them. She had come down to get a drink and heard them talking. She took a seat on the other side of Leo.

"Why were you going to send me to Japan?" She finally asked.

"Well, we thought it was for the best. We thought it was the easiest thing for you, and you've always wanted to go to Japan." Alopex shrugged.

"By you were going to pretend MY baby was yours." She sniffed.

"It was something we thought we could do that didn't involve social workers or the school. Your mother and I just didn't want people hurting you more."

"I'm so sorry."

Alopex just sighed and hugged her daughter. "We know angel."

"I'll tell you someone who doesn't know." Tigerclaw suddenly said and they looked at him in confusion. "Kitsune. She's back tomorrow."

Leo just groaned...
