Telling Donnie and The Guys

April POV

That brings me to where we are now. It was a pretty boring day after that, but I was having trouble trying to figure out how to tell Donnie about my unexpected discovery. To be honest, I was scared. I don’t think Donnie would leave me, that’s not like him. But I did worry that he wouldn’t want it. Pretty stupid, eh? As it got later on in the day, we decided it was time for bed. Raph was the first to turn in. He said his goodnights, and while glaring at Donnie gave him the “I’m watching you buddy” motion. Donnie threw his hands in the air in defense and I chuckled. If only Raph knew, he would be throttling Donnie right now. Leo was next followed by Mikey. Donnie was about to turn in, when I stopped him by grabbing his arm.

            “Hey wait. I want to talk to you about something.” I said giving him a reassuring smile. He looked at me, then at the hand holding on to his arm, then back to me.

            “O…kay…” he said looking confused and slightly worried.

            “It’s nothing bad, I just have something important to tell you.” It really wasn’t that bad and boy was it important. He let out a sigh of relief as he looked at me expectantly to continue. I took a big breath and steeled my nerves. My hands were clammy and shaking. ‘You can do this April. You’ve fought and been kidnapped by the Kraang before for goodness sake! Get it together!’ I thought.

            “Donnie…” I started, his name breathy when it came out of my mouth.

            “Yes…? April is everything ok?” I nodded slowly and stared at him a little bit longer trying to formulate how to say such big news.

            “I-I think… I mean… what I’m trying to say is…nothing. Nothing at all.” I cursed silently in my head. ‘Dammit! Son of a bitch! What is wrong with me?!?!?!? UUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!’ I looked at Donnie and he was looking at me with true concern.

            “Are you sure you’re okay April? This morning you had that weird nausea and now your acting really weird.” He said in his no nonsense voice. I flinched. I hated that voice and he rarely used it with me.

            “Donnie. I am fine. I’m just really tired and worn out from this morning.” I gave him a true genuine smile and leaned up and kissed his lips. Since this morning I had brushed my teeth and used plenty of mouthwash. He kissed back with enthusiasm and passion. His tongue came out from behind his teeth and brushed my bottom lip, right as I pulled back from the kiss. I opened my eyes and giggled. His lips were still puckered and he let out a pathetic whine.

            “No more for you tonight, mister.” I said as I walked up and let my fingers walk up his plastron.  He let out another pathetic whine, but this time there was an underlying moan.  I blushed and leaned up to whisper in his ear.

            “Goodnight Donnie.” I said in my most sultry and seductive voice. I walked on, and I could feel his eyes burning holes in the back of my head. I made sure to put a little swing in my hips.

            “Goodnight April.” I heard him rasp out of breath. I smirked knowing I was the one who made him like that. I climbed the stairwell and heard him coming up behind me. I made my way to my room and opened my door and flopped on my bed. I smiled as I thought of Donnie and let sleep take me.

THE NEXT MORNING…

 

I woke up the next morning to a bunch of screaming. I looked at the alarm clock on the dresser and it read, 8:41 AM. I groaned and tried to go back to sleep. Though my efforts were in vain.  The yelling downstairs only got louder. I sighed as I threw back the covers. I guess I had to go fix this myself. I was about to get out of bed when something or someone caught my attention. I smiled as my hand landed on the tiny but still very much there bump on my abdomen. I leaned over and whispered, “Today is the day.” At least I hoped it was. After I chickened out last night I wasn’t very confident. I got up, dressed in my normal clothes, and ran a brush a through my hair. But there was one problem. You see, the shirt I wear on normal days was near skintight. And unfortunately, the bump was big enough to see through the shirt now. Silently cursing, I threw a jacket on over my shirt. I would figure it out later. Right now, I had to focus on the yelling downstairs which had gotten increasingly louder. I raced out the door and down the stairs.  As I neared the living room, I started hearing bits and pieces of the argument. It was apparently between Raph and Leo. Great. I entered the room and it looked like a warzone. The pillows which were once stacked neatly throughout the room were now strewn around the room. Some even had stuffing ripped out of them and it was littering the floor. The three turtles responsible stood in the middle of the room in each others faces.

            “Why do you have to be such a-a dumbass!?” Raph yelled at Leo who was standing with his arms crossed apparently unimpressed.

            “Coming from the walking and talking ASSMINT!” Was Leo’s retort. What the hell kind of retort was that? Whatever,this was getting out of hand and I needed to put a stop to it NOW.

            “HEY!” I shouted. I guess I looked pretty pissed off because they all stopped immediately and looked at me with a “oh shit” look. They should have been scared because they all knew I could kick their asses. They all started fumbling, trying to find an excuse but I stopped them by putting my hands in the air.

            “Whatever. Just clean up the mess you made and we can forget this whole thing even happened. Got it?” I asked, my voice just a little too sugary. They all nodded hastily, and got to work. Then I realized where was Donnie?

            “Hey, where’s Donnie?” I asked, voicing my thoughts. I got an answer from Leo.

            “He’s outside. Don’t ask what he’s doing he wouldn’t tell us.” Leo said while shrugging. I made my way to the door and opened it, to be greeted with the sight of Donnie training by himself. I went outside and made my way to him with every intent of telling that he was going to be a father. Just the thought made me giddy. He noticed  me walking over to him and stopped training. When I reached him I was greeted with a needy kiss.

            “Hey April. How did you sleep?” He asked, still panting and out of breath from the kiss.

            “Wonderful. And how did you sleep?” I wondered. I actually wanted to know.

            “Eh. I slept okay.” He said while shrugging his shoulders. I looked into his eyes.

            “Don… I-I have some something to tell you.” I said shakily. I watched as his brow creased in wonder and concern.

            “I’m-I’m…” But before I could finish the rest of the boys came bursting out the front door of the house stealing Donnie’s attention. I felt my confidence sink. If I didn’t get this off my chest soon, I was going to burst. We all decided on having a training session and I couldn’t concentrate. It showed too, because I kept missing easy openings and I was getting popped by one of them every two minutes. Inside I was about to burst, I couldn’t keep this secret much longer. And if I got asked if “I was okay” one more time…

            “April. Look at me. Are you okay?” Donnie said catching my attention. Without thinking what my mouth was about to say, I let it rip.

            “I’M PREGNANT!”  I shouted.  Immediately I regretted it and cringed very visibly. Next thing I knew I heard a thump from Donnie, an exclamation of, “I’M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE?!?!?!?!” from Mikey and just plain dropped jaws from Raph and Leo. Great, now my boyfriend was passed out on the ground. I ran over to him and yelled straight in his ear.

            “Wake up dumbass!”  He sat up immediately and gathered his bearings. Then his eyes widened in realization and he looked at me. I got on my knees to get down to his level.  Without breaking eye contact, I unzipped my jacket. I took his hand in mine and brought it down to my stomach. He sucked in a breath and looked down at my slightly swollen abdomen.

            “April…” he breathed his breath raspy. Next thing I knew I was gathered up in his arms. He was whispering in my ear, “A dad. I’m gonna be a dad.” I knew I had Donnie’s full support and love. And that he was just as excited to be a parent as I was. A mom. I was going to be a Mom.
