Tmnt Mother Scenarios: Book 1

When You Have A Family Meeting

It's been about a half hour or so since you've talked to your sons individually and realized some things that have come to you and Splinter's attention.

For one thing, all of your sons seem stressed out and are taking it out on one another and you.

You suspect it's because they've been going on patrol for a while now, and so much has happened since April's father has been mutated days ago.

Donnie has been very stressed with trying to help him, especially with April angry with him for what happened.

Your going to help him though. Your going to help all of your sons. Especially Mikey.

You and Splinter never knew just how much he's been hurting since the incident on patrol yesterday, and he seems not like himself.

That's why you're having a family meeting. So you can all talk it out and come to a conclusion that will make everyone feel better.

Taking a deep breath, you sit next to Splinter on the couch with Vivian in your lap, as you also want her to join in as well.

"Mummy?" She says quietly. "What are we doing? Are we going to play a game?" She asks.

You smile warmly and shake your head. "No baby, actually we are all going to talk about some things that have been bothering your brothers."

She looks up and nods. "Ohhhh, is that why they were all grumpy earlier? They weren't very nice to you." She says sadly.

"I know, but they had their reasons which is why we're having this meeting, so we can be each other feel better."

She looks confused and frowns. "Are they sad mummy? They aren't acting like themselves and they seen unhappy."

Splinter nods, agreeing. "That is right, my daughter." He says. "Your onni-chans are unhappy right now, that's why we're doing this."

She seems to understand so you call your boys down. "Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey come down here please!" You call loudly.

They come running, thinking they're in trouble for something but you smile reassuringly and they relax a little and sit down.

"What's wrong mum? Did we do something wrong?" Leo asks in confusion as he takes a seat.

You shake your head. "No, not at all...you see boys, it's come to our attention that there are some things we need to discuss."

They exchange glances and look at you and Splinter with wide eyes. "What about?" Mikey asks.

"Well, for starters we've noticed you've all been very stressed lately ever since patrol yesterday, and we want to help you." You explain.

Mikey looks up, feeling a little nervous knowing this is probably about him. What is he supposed to say?

"Yes, your youngest brother Michaelangelo has been feeling some negative things, which is why I would like you all to listen to him for a moment." Splinter says.

Mikey blushes. He wants to tell his brothers what he's feeling but he's nervous that they'll yell at him or that they won't understand.

You notice his worried expression and give him a little encouragement. "Go ahead sweetie, you can tell them."

Mikey takes a calming breath and turns to face his brothers who are all looking at him in worry and confusion.

"Um well, ever since the um incident on patrol yesterday, I've been feeling really sad and hurt." He says nervously, looking at you.

Leo looks alarmed and frowns. "What do you mean Mikey? Why do you feel sad and hurt? What's wrong?" He asks worriedly.

You nod encouragingly and give him a smile, allowing him to take a deep breath and continue.
