"Girls and Casey," Splinter said and everyone looked up, the pregnant girls glancing over the sofas they were perched on. "We need to leave. The Masters have foreseen a terrible fate for us if we stay here."

"Yeah right," Casey snorted and April slapped his arm, glaring at him as he rubbed the spot.

"The Masters are never wrong about a vision they have foreseen. We need to find a place to raise the newborns. A safe place."

"What about Oroku Towers?" Sophie whispered and Grace shook her head.

"It'll be too dangerous there but I'll see if Andy can help us," she said. "Mum can you please help me up? I need to ring Andy."

April raced over and slowly but surely, Grace got to her feet, waddling over to the phone while the rest of her team were slouched on the sofa, Haidley groaning.

"I can't wait to get this baby out of me," she grumbled. "I need to start doing things for myself again."

"I can't believe done suggested Adrian Eric as a boys' name," Rosie pouted, folding her arms over her chest.

"What about if it's a girl?"

"Felicia Jane," the brunette smiled and Sophie grinned.

"I like it. I was thinking of Danielle Blaze or Daniel Leon."

"Ooh I like the boys' name," Haidley grinned before rubbing her chin. "I've always liked the names June, Hannah, Joseph and Kendall."

"Why not June Hannah if it's a girl and Joseph Kendall if it's a boy?" Grace called from the kitchen, making her way back to the sofa.

"Good idea."

"What about you Grace?" Sophie asked and Graced shrugged.

"I don't know but the nickname needs to be Alex," she grinned and they laughed.

April and Casey were packing as much as they could into the travel bags as Andy has a house just on the outskirts of New York on the border between New York and Pennsylvania, so they had a while to drive.

"I need to give Raiden this address so he can mail the next letters to us," Grace said from her spot on the seat.

"Wait, let me try something," Splinter said and grabbed the piece of paper, forming the lotus position.

He closed his eyes and grasped onto the piece of paper tightly. He concentrated on the paper and focused on the Masters, whose spiritual energy he could feel in the room.

"I believe Splinter is trying to send us an address," Quing-Ma said and Sahara grunted.

"Give me a minute," she said and sat up straighter, relaxing a bit more.

She saw a few numbers and letters blur past her closed eyes. The script become clearer and she could see the new address.

"It's the new address."

"Thank you Master Splinter," the girls chorused together.

"Should we tell the turtles?" Sahara voiced and Tahlya shook her head.

"The less they know the better," she mumbled and looked up.

"Are you going soft, sister?" Rosala teased and Tahlya flashed her older sister her trademark glare.

"There, that's the last of it," Casey said, closing the door to the back compartment of the Battle Shell.

"The girls are comfortable in your truck right?" April asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, they have bean bags, cushions, a sofa and a solar powered fridge and TV to keep them entertained," the dark blue haired man answered and April kissed his cheek, both unaware of their daughter watching them with sad eyes.

"I miss Raph," she blurted and her sister-in-laws nodded.

"I miss Donnie," Rosie said and the others looked at her.

This was the most emotion they had seen from her, usually she was just depressed looking or always gazing off into the distance, listening but not really listening.

"Are you coming Master Splinter?" April asked and Splinter took one last look at the place he had called home for the last few years.

"Yes, I am ready," he said and climbed into the passenger seat of the Battle Shell.

Casey clambered into the drivers' seat of the truck after checking to make sure the girls were comfortable and the solar powered fans were working perfectly.

"Ready to roll, Case," April's voice came over the radio and Casey grabbed the speaker.

"Copy that."
