Leilael: book 3.

Chapter 5

Leila's POV:
My eyes widen as Skyler left the room, he hates me....it's all my fault.
"This is all my fault. I should've known." I looked down, tears streamed down my face. I felt a hand touch my shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself for this Lee. We didn't see he was there." Raph told me and I should my head
"He's right, we should've seen his shell." I cried into his shoulder.
"Well in my defense, his shell wasn't fully developed so how could we see him. Plus Starla was kinda a big baby so she blocked our vision of him in a way." He tried explaining. I looked at him
"Are you sure that's the case?" I asked and he smiled.
"Of course babe. This wasn't our fault, he was tiny for a turtle. But like you said, it's all in the past and we should keep it that way." My husband told me. I sighed sadly. "and it's his fault for bringing it up like that. That wasn't fair nor was it respectful." He added and I smiled a little. "What?" He asked me
"Oh nothing...just that you're starting to sound like Sensai." I said and his eyes widen, face palming as well
"Oh god....my worse fears!" He said and I laughed.
"It suits you babe." I complimented him
"Don't even." He chuckled. He was right though, it's not our faults. All of a sudden, we hear a slap then a slam. I look at Raph and we both rush up the stairs. We go to Stars room and see she has a huge hand print on her cheek.
"What happened?" Raph asked our daughter who was crying.
"Skyler slapped me....it's all my fault. I'm a horrible sister." She cried out and I go to Skylers room so Raph could calm Starla down. I knock softly then open the door.
"Skyler? What happened?" I asked, just then I hear a groan come from under the blankets.
"Go away, don't you get why the door was closed in the first place or are you that blind?" Skyler said in annoyance and I sighed
"Skyler will you stop with the childish behavior? You're 19 years old for crying out loud." I say to him and he gets out of his bed, pissed off.
"I told you get out of my room! Why don't you listen?! Do you have a hearing problem too?! I don't want you in my room or in my life so just do me a favor and get lost!" He yells at me before pushing me. My eyes widen and I bang into his counter and hit my head hard on the corner of the door. I immediately put my hand over my head, only to feel warm liquid on my hand. My eyes widen more and I look at my hand, seeing blood all on my hand. I look back up at Skyler to see his reaction which was pure horror and regret. I try to get up and I lean against the wall, just then Raph runs in and sees my condition.
"Leila!" He runs to my aid. He looks at him. "what did you do?!" He yells at Skyler.
"I-Its ok..." I say before fainting....lights out.

Raph's POV:
I was talking with Starla when I hear Skyler yelling followed by a loud bang. We quickly rush into my son's room only to see Leila holding her head and blood. My eyes widen, scared and pissed off.
"Leila!" I say, rushing to help her. I look at Skyler, who looks just as scared and worried as I am but mostly full of regret. "What did you do?!" I yell at him. I feel Leila hold my hand firmly, I look at her again with worry and horror.
"I-Its ok..." She says before passing out. I pick her up in my arms, I look at Star and she nods. We both go to Leila's lab and I lay her gingerly on the table. Star does her work and I leave the lab hoping she's alright. I see Skyler and I growl.
"H-How is she? Is she ok?" He asks me.
"Why do you care all of a sudden? You're the one who lashed out at her for no good reason." I spat at him and he sighs. "For all we know it's your fault for bringing up something that was in he last and for pushing away someone who cared about you!" I added and he looked down.
"I'm sorry...." He simply said and I scoffed
"Yea, cuz sorry takes away the pain you caused right?" I asked rhetorically and walked past him.

FEW HOURS LATER-

I walk into the lab to check up on how Starla was doing. I see she was just cleaning up
"Hey kiddo, how's your mom doing?" I asked and she's smiled, she looked a little tired
"The surgery was successful and she's healing nicely. Luckily no real damage was made just a little tear in her skin. She just needs rest and she'll wake up in a bit." She explains and I nod.
"Just like your mother I'll tell you that." I chuckled and she hugged me. I hugged her back. "what would we do without you?" I said and she giggled
"Probably be 12 feet under ground with a shovel bored out of your minds!" She exclaimed and I laughed.
"That sums it up." I respond and she laughs as well. I kissed the top of her head. "My baby girl's all grown up. Damn." I say as I look at her and she smiled. "You look just like your mother too." I smiled. "A beautiful, strong, passionate young lady who will change the world and do it all." She smiled more and hugged me tighter
"I love you daddy. So damn much." She said and I held her close.
"I love you too pal. So damn much." I reply, wanting her to be my little girl again. Just then her phone rang, she grabbed it and was about to silence it and I smiled. "Go talk to him kiddo." I simply say and she kisses my cheek.
"We'll continue this later dad. I owe you a movie." She said and ran out of the lab to talk to whoever was on the phone. I look at my wife and held her hand.
"We did a fantastic job raising her Lee." I whispered and kisses her forehead.

Damn how time flies by.
