Regrets

Wedding Plans

The next morning Leona sat her parents down and told them her and Raph's decision to immigrate to Japan. They weren't exactly happy with the choice but, with Kitsunes' help, she managed to get her point across.

Raph's family had a similar reaction but they quickly accepted that it was his and Leona's decision and there was nothing they could do.

The only thing both families asked was that the couple visited them every holiday. Yoshi was happy that Raph was getting out there but what he hated that he was getting married to Leona Saiyo.

Now Raph was in their apartment with Casey and his brothers, going over the wedding plans.

So far they arranged to have it done in the registry office, the cake and food were being done by Mikey, Casey was arranging the bachelor party and Donnie was finishing the guest list.

"So, where's the blushing bride?" Donnie asked.

"She went out with April and Irma ta get her dress and Yuki's with Renet and our mother's gettin' fitted fer her flower girl dress." Raph replied.

"I bet she's excited." Mikey smiled.

"Yeah, keeps goin' on about how she gonna be a princess." He laughed.

"I thought this was your's and Leo's big day? God help ya when that girl of your's gets older." Casey laughed.

"Alright, what's next?" Raph asked his taller brother.

"Well: we need to get our suits sorted, get the rings, figure out where your having the reception, what foods your gonna have there, the flowers and..."

"And what?"

"Are you going to invite Dad or not?" Don asked.

"Why should I?! He's been a little shit over me and Leo, so why should I invite him ta our weddin' just so he can rant and rave!?"

"He might do that, but even if he doesn't show up you can at least say to yourself you were the bigger man and invited him, and you never know, he might surprise you." Mikey shrugged.

Raph just growled and went to get them some more drinks...

Leona sighed as she, April and Irma stepped into her parents house with a bag. The second her daughter saw her, she ran over to her and wrapped her little arms around her mother's waist. Her family quickly rushed to see the dress she'd picked.

After the constant pestering, she relented and pulled out the wedding dress.

"Oh sweetie, it's beautiful." Alopex smiled as she held up the dress.

"Yes, but it's a little small isn't it?" Kitsune frowned.

"Yeah, well, the woman in the store said it was a bargain." Leo replied nervously.

"Don't worry, we can easily remodel it." Renet smiled.

"You shouldn't have to, the woman should of properly measured you before letting you pick a dress, where was this shop?" The human glared and Leo looked away.

"C-Charity shop." She mumbled.

"Oh." Kitsune froze. "I'm sorry honey."

"It's only because we have a small budget and it was last minuet." Leo said with a forced smile.

"We should be able to make Yuki a dress based off this one if you want?" Shen asked.

"Yeah, that'd be lovely." She smiled...

That evening, Leo was standing in her wedding dress as April and her mother worked to make it fit as Shen, Irma and Renet put together Yukiko's flower girl dress from scratch. Kitsune and Tigerclaw had opened a bottle a champagne and were chatting as they watched the women work.

Thankfully everyone else had already organised their outfits for the wedding.

"Who's that honey?" Alopex asked as Leo texted on her phone.

"It's Raph, asking how things are going." She smiled.

"Now Leona, you know that it's bad luck for the groom to see the dress before the big day." Shen giggled.

"I do." The turtle smiled.

"Oh." Kitsune gasped and everyone turned to her. "'I do', those are the words you're going to be saying this time in two weeks." She smiled. Leo also smiled warmly as she thought about her wedding.

"And... done!" Renet smiled when they were done with Yuki's flower girl dress.

"Mama, I'm princess!" She screeched happily as she twirled around the living room.

"Yes you are my sweet heart!" Leo laughed as she bent down and gave her little girl a kiss...

When Tang Shen returned home she sighed when she saw Yoshi sat alone in the kitchen with a bottle of booze in his hand. Ever since their son had announced his engagement, her husband seemed to become more dependant on alcohol and it was really worrying his wife.

"Where've you been?" He slurred to the cat.

"Just been helping Leona with her dress, it's a beautiful pink satin one." She replied.

"At least she isn't wearing white." He laughed cruelly.

Shen wanted to argue but decided it was no point, he was too drunk to even register her words any way. Instead she just went up to bed...

When Leona got back home later that night it was just her and her fiance alone in their apartment. Alopex and Tigerclaw had agreed to babysit Yuki for the night, giving the young couple some time alone.

As soon as she had got home, she showed him the pictures of Yuki in her little dress on her cell phone.

Raphael couldn't get over how adorable she looked. Despite his begging she refused to show him her wedding dress, leaving it at her parents. Now, Leona and Raphael had themselves in a little heap, pressed up against the wall.

Lips were locked in passion; tongues intertwining.

Raph's hand moved to Leo's plastron to rub her breasts. Leo quickly broke the kiss; grabbing Raphael's wrist to stop him, much to the other's displeasure.

"N-No, Raph." She panted.

"Ah... come on Leo." He whined. "I've got condoms!"

"That's not it, just wait until after the wedding." She smirked. "After that you can ravage me."

She laughed as she walked into their room. Raph gulped heavily as he speed walked to the bathroom, in desperate need of a long cold shower...
