Tmnt Mother Scenarios: Book 1

When You Sing To Them

Your children love music, and sometimes ask you to sing their favorite songs!

How can you refuse?

You are watching tv when Leo comes in looking unhappy. You frown and turn off the tv.

"Leo, is everything ok?" You ask him. He looks at you and jumps on the couch and buries his face in your shoulder.

"Raph is being mean to me again, mum." He mumbles. You sigh and rub his shell.

"What did he do this time?" You ask. Leo looks up and shows you his finger, which has a cut on it.

"We were sparring and he got mad when I beat him, and then he hit me with his sais!" Leo explains.

You groan and put a bandage on Leo's finger, then make Raph apologize. He does, grumpily.

Leo is watching tv with you. "Hey mum, can you sing?" He asks with a look in his eyes.

You smile and nod, already knowing his favorite song. "I'll sing 'Let me love you.'"

I used to believe
we were burnin' on the
edge of something beautiful,
something beautiful
sellin' a dream, we've got a million miles ahead of us
miles ahead of us
and we'll go through the darkest of days
heaven's a heartbreak away
never give up, never let you down
don't you give up
na na na
I won't give up
na na na
let me love you
don't you give up
na na na
I won't give up
na na na
let me love you
let me love you

You finish and Leo claps happily, cheering up immediately. He hugs you with a smile.

"Mum, you sing so well!" He says. You blush and grin. "Thank you sweetheart." You say.

Leo then heads to his room, humming the song to himself as he dances all the way there.

You laugh and walk to Raph's room, you can hear him grumbling to Spike.

"Stupid Leo!" He growls. "It's not fair, he always runs crying to mummy and gets me in trouble!"
Spike chews on his lettuce leaf and moves his head up and down as if he's nodding.

You walk in and sit on his bed. "What's the matter mr. grumpy pants?" You ask teasingly.

Raph looks up at you and pouts. "Leo!" "He always tattles on me and I hate it!" He shouts.

You sigh and pat his head. "Would it make you feel better if I sang?" You suggest.

Raph nods. "Can you sing 'Girl on Fire." He mumbles with a blush. He heard the song on the radio recently and fell in love with it,

She's just a girl and she's on fire
hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
she's livin' on a world and it's on fire,
filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
ohhh woah ohhh woah ohhh
she's got both feet on the ground and she's burnin' it down
ohhh woah ohhh woah ohhh
she's got her head in the clouds and she's not comin' down
This girl is on fireeee
this girl is on fireee oh ah
she's walking on fireee
oh this girl is on fire

Raph cheers and claps, his mood improves immediately. Spike is on his shoulder like usual.

"Thanks mum, I love that song!" He says happily. You smile and hug him, making him giggle.

You leave his room and head to Donnie's lab to see what he's up to. He's got his head in his hands, looking upset.

You walk in and give him a hug. "What's wrong sweetie?" You ask as he looks up at you.
