It was nearly time for the turtle tots to wake up from their deep slumber, but first Master Splinter had to get breakfast ready. He got out four bowls and placed them on the counters.

Walking to the left side cupboards, he opened it and found the turtles favourite breakfast cereal. After pouring the milk he decided to go and wake the tots.

Upon entering he was met with small snoring sounds. The turtles were sleeping soundly while cuddling up to each other. Little Mikey was drooling like there was no tomorrow, Raph's arms were sprawled out while his head was slightly hanging off the bed.

Leo seemed to be sleeping peacefully (or at least from what Splinter could see from his facial expression) and Donnie had his entire body hidden under the blanket. Splinter smiled at the scene before turning on the light switch.

"Time to wake up little ones." The turtles didn't seem pleased to be disturbed in this peacefull moment. "Five more minutes.." mumbled Raphael.

"Aren't you hungry." As if on cue, the youngest turtle's stomach started to growl which caused him to sit up.

"Defi....de-definty...uh..Yes!!" Mikey said with a cute smile on his face. "It's definitely." Donnie mumbled under the blanket. Little Mikey just waved it off with a "Yeah I knew that."

The tots slowly but surely got out of bed and entered the kitchen. Master Splinter helped set each of them on a chair, but stoped when he noticed one missing.
Looking to the door he saw little Donnie coming into the kitchen at a very slow pace. "Are you alright my son?" Splinter asked while bending down to meet the young turtle's eyes.

Donnie only shook his head 'no' and rubbed his left eye. Master Splinter placed his hand on Donnie's forehead which was burning up. Without another word, Master Splinter picked little Donnie up and walked to the tots bedroom to place him back into bed. "Rest for now my son, I will bring you something to eat."
Donnie slightly nodded his head and turned on his side. When Master Splinter returned to the rest of the tots, they gave him curious looks.

"What's wong with Donnie?" little Mikey asked. Both Leo and Raph also gave their full attention. "Your brother has caught a fever and will need to rest until he gets better."

After a moment of thinking Mikey asked "How do we beat the feva?"

Master Splinter chuckled at the youngest turtle and started to get ingredients out of the fridge. "A bowl of hot soup and enough sleep should help for now. But there are a few things you can help me with."

"What that father?" Leonardo asked. Master Splinter reached into one of the cupboards and brought out some medicine. He handed it to Leo along with a spoon and told him to give Donnie one spoon of the medicine. "It smells yucky." Leo cringed when he opened the bottle to look at the substance.

But nevertheless, he went to their room where he found Donnie completely under the blanket. He put the bottle along with the spoon on the nightstand and hopped onto the bed. "Donnie? Come out of blanky land..." he cooed while pouring the medicine onto the spoon.
Donnie peaked out of the blankets and groaned knowing he'll have to take some of that sticky substance. "Let's make a deal. I'll drink some too if you do the same." Leo suggested with a smile.

Donnie thought for a moment then nodded his head slightly. Leo braced himself and quickly swallowed the medicine while trying not to throw up. He quickly put a smile on his face and said "It's really not that bad!"

Donnie didn't believe that for a second but swallows anyway when Leo brought the smelly stuff towards his mouth. He nearly threw up but luckily kept it down. Next moment both Mikey and Raph came into the room.

Mikey was holding a cloth while Raph was carefully carrying a bowl of water. Now all four tots were together on the bed and Raph dried the cloth a little after he let it soak in the bowl. He gave it to Leo who then placed it onto Donnie's forehead.

"Awe you betta yet Donnie?"

"He's not gonna get better just like that you idiot."

"Shhh guys, you'll make Donnie's headache worst."

Just then Master Splinter walked in with some chicken noodle soup. He also sat on the bed, but before he could do anything Mikey asked "Can we feed him?"

Leo and Raph also seemed to like the idea and looked at their father with excited smiles. Master Splinter couldn't say no to those faces and handed the bowl over to Leo. The oldest son smiled and slowly moved the soup to Donnie's mouth. "Here comes the spaceship."
Donnie gave him the "really" look, but took a bite of the delicious soup and instantly felt all warm and fuzzy when the soup made it's way down his throat.

Next it was Raph's turn. "Here comes the racecar." He also tried making some car noises while feeding the soup to the third oldest brother. Even though he did not admit it, Donnie kinda enjoyed this little game.

Soon it was Mikey's turn to play along. "Here comes the superhero robot with it's lazer beans!! Boom Boom Boom!!"

"Lazer beams Mikey. Not beans" Donnie said with a blank expression. Mikey shrugged "I knew that."

This continued for awhile until Master Splinter decided to go clean the kitchen while the three tots feed their sick brother one by one.
When he arrived at their bedroom again he saw a sight that melted his heart.

Raph layed on his back on the right side of his brother while Leo slept on Donnie's left side with his one arm protectively over his younger brother. And little Mikey was laying inbetween Donnie's legs with his head resting on his brothers stomach.

Master Splinter smiled at the scene and placed small blankets on the three turtles who were fast asleep around the third eldest son. He switched the lights off and slowly closed the door, but made sure that a little bit of light shown through the room.

"Goodnight my sons."
