I do not own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or any of it's characters all rights go to Nickelodeon. Families come in all shapes and sizes. No family is the same. At least, not all the way. The Hamato family is no exception. Comprised of four mutant turtle brothers, a rat sensi, and two teenage humans, this family surely is unique. No one ever said that they were the only Hamato family, though. The multiverse exists, which means there are multiple Hamato families, each one containing the same members. That doesn't mean that each of the members is the same. They all have different backstories, memories, experiences, and even appearances. One thing that connects people the most is loss. It just so happens that loss connects the multiverse, too. Leonardo of World 15-C. Raphael of World 96-B. Donatello of World 18-D. Michaelangelo of World 89-A. April O'Neil and Casey Jones of World 12-E. These are the members who have suffered loss. These are the members the multiverse brings together. All of them have lost the rest of their families. They lost their versions of each other, and they all lost their sensi. They are the only ones left of the Hamato family in their worlds. When the worlds cross paths with one another, these members are stuck with each other. They may have lost their family, but they have been given another shot. It's not the family they once had, but they can make a new one. After all, they are technically the same people. They all lost, but through their loss, they have found their family. It won't be easy. They are all very different from their other versions. That won't stop them. Nothing ever will. Not even the haunting thoughts and ghostly memories of their other versions. Confusion, denial, and longing will make this broken family cling to whatever they have left. One thing is for sure. The Hamato family will not be broken apart ever again.

Aarna never thought two pink lines could shake her world.
She stood frozen, staring at the test in her trembling hands. Pregnant. A word she had longed to hear, yet feared the most.
Would he accept it? Or would he push her away again, just like before?
The door creaked open. Her heart pounded.
Sharad's sharp gaze met hers. "What are you hiding?"
Her breath hitched. She wasn't ready for this. Not yet.
