The elevator doors opened up into the living room of the lair, as a heavily disguised figure, made his way inside, holding two large pizza boxes in his hand.
“Man, I hope I never run into that pizza guy again…” Mikey sighed, whipping his glasses and hood off. He then placed the pizzas on the coffee table which sat in front of the TV’s, before stripping down to his usual attire.

“PIZZZZZZAAAA!”

What sounded like a herd of elephants, suddenly charged down the stairs, Mikey swore he could even feel the ground moving. A sweeping of dust flew through the air before he could even pull his nunchucks from his belt. Instead the first pizza lid popped open before it closed again as he saw Ashley and Zack engulfing their first slice of the meat feast.

They were already dressed in their nightwear. Zack in his black and white striped bottoms, along with a red shirt, which read ‘caution: totally awesome’ and Ashley was in her pink, hello kitty nightie. Normally the turtles would just go to bed without the need of clothing, but Ashley liked wearing them. It was the only way she felt a little closer to being normal, or at least human.

This was something that each of guys, as well as Splinter were somewhat concerned about. Of course it wasn’t a big deal they just hoped that the young turtle wouldn’t grow up resenting the fact that she was born a mutant.

“Whoohoo! Pizza rules!” Zack said munching away.
“Yummy” Ashley followed as a long shred of melted cheese parted between the slice and her mouth.
“You two! Calm down!” another voice cried out. Peering over his shoulder Robyn was walking down the stairs holding Kotaro in her arms again.
“I’ve just finished giving you a bath and I don’t want you getting messy again!”
“KAY!” the kids called back stuffing their second piece down.

Robyn collapsed beside Mikey heaving a sigh. Out of the blue the phone started ringing, Robyn then handed Kotaro over to Mikey.
“Your turn” she said before leaping over the sofa to answer it.
“Hello?” Robyn answered.
“Oh hey Leo… their fine, how’s it going?” as Robyn continued Mikey adjusted his position so that he and Kotaro were comfortable.

Seeing it was just the four of them together, Zack saw Robyn’s shell cell sitting on the table he grabbed the device and flicked it open.
“Heads up Mikey!” the four year old called, with only seconds to spare, Mikey held the toddler up so his head was sat along the rim of his nephews head.
“Smile!”

There was a quick flash as the shot was taken.
“Aww that’s a goody” Ashley smiled, the children then admired the photo before showing it to Mikey. Now that was a shocker for him, it was almost like seeing what he would look like holding his own kid someday.
Though Mikey couldn’t help but think he was far from becoming a dad.

“Yeah… yeah… okay see you soon” Robyn said, she put the phone down making her way back over to the group, she grabbed the last slice for herself whilst she had the chance as sat back down and turn to the kids.
“Okay you two you’ve got another hour and then its bedtime”
“Awww” they whined.
“Don’t give me that, it’s already way past it” Robyn replied.

A pause arose as Mikey had an idea.
“Well how’s ‘bout a movie?” he asked taking Kotaro over to the piles of DVD’s that sat in the corner.
“YAY!” Ashley and Zack cheered.
“What’ll it be action? Sci-fi? Horror?”
“NO!” Robyn bellowed.
“I’m not having them getting all freaked out by nightmares, so no horror!” Robyn knew it looked like she was being the bad guy, in fact she’d been feeling like that all night long. But she didn’t want to face the wrath of the parents, when they came home.

“Alright, scratch that idea! Hmm…” Kotaro then spotted something which seemed colourful and bright. His arms reached out pulling the plastic box out. The once neatly stacked pile was now scattered all over the place.
“Taro” Mikey sighed; his attention then drew to what DVD the one year old had gotten.
“The Incredibles… what’dya think?” Mikey asked, his head turned to meet everyone else’s, Ashley and Zack agreed with much enthusiasm.
“Guess it’s unanimous” Robyn replied.

------

The next hour seemed to fly by, and Mikey had to make sure Ashley and Zack brushed their teeth before putting them to bed. Zack was sleeping in Ashley’s room, on a futon Leo had made up earlier.
Both the red head and human fought back, as they didn’t want to go to bed, they weren’t feeling tired at all.

They were relentless, jumping up and down on the mattress as they cheered and hollered.
“Alright no more Mr nice turtle, come on! Get into bed!” Mikey ordered as he tried catching them.
“But we’re not tired!” Ashley replied.
“Well I am! ... shell… never thought I’d say that before…” he muttered to himself.

------

After some careful persuasion from the older turtle, both Ashley and Zack eventually drifted off, as soon as their heads hit the pillows. The orange banded turtle tiptoed out of the room, pulling the door closed as he wiped his forehead relieved it was over.

As Mikey was about to make his way downstairs yet again, he walked past Leo and Mia’s room as he heard Robyn singing her lullaby another time. He poked his head inside, seeing that Robyn was carefully rocking Kotaro between her arms.
As Robyn came to the end of the song, Kotaro’s eye’s closed and being extra careful not to wake him, she placed the now sleeping turtle, back in his crib.

Robyn tucked the tot in with his blanket, carefully stroking his head to make sure he was in slumber.
“That was amazing!” Mikey whispered startling Robyn who reacted with a rapid swipe of her palm into his neck.
Mikey fell instantly to the floor coughing and spluttering.
“You idiot! You should know by now, not to sneak up on me like that!” she yelled, in a hushed voice as not to wake the baby. Reaching her arm out, she helped Mikey to his feet and dragged him to the kitchen, planting his backside on the chair.

Gradually Mikey caught his breath back.
“Man… I forgot how hard your attacks are” he laughed.
“Don’t act dumb, I kick your ass everyday” Robyn glared as she opened the fridge up handing him a soda.
“Heh, that’s true” how Mikey could laugh at everything was beyond Robyn’s belief.

Mikey gulped the soda down like water draining down a plug hole. The two sat silently for the next five minutes.
“Hey that was a great song by the way, the one you sung to Taro… it was the same one as before, right?” Mikey asked.
“Yep…” was Robyn’s response, she also took a sip from her soda.
“Cool” Mikey replied.

Robyn was finishing her drink off before she was asked something she thought she’d never hear.
“So… you gonna sing it to our kids someday?” Mikey quickly got a drenching from Robyn’s spurts.

Not at all impressed Mikey pulled the towel off the racking and began rubbing himself dry whilst Robyn coughed still trying to think if he really asked such a question.
“W-WHAT?!”
“Well I dunno, I mean… don’t ya wanna have kids… someday… not right now” Mikey fiddled with his fingers and thumps wondering what her answer could be.

Robyn sat and thought it over for a minute; she then picked herself up, walked over to Mikey, looked him straight in the eye and said, without even a second thought.
“No”

A little confused on why Robyn said no, Mikey ran straight after her, wanting answers.
“Wait, Robyn! ...” he called again and again, after her, even though she was already making her way up the stairs. Aggravated by Mikey’s constant whining, she turned back round.
“Let us get something straight here; you and I are never, ever… going to have kids!”
“Bu…” Mikey didn’t really know how to respond to that.

Robyn then turned away and continued heading up to their room as Mikey was left speechless. He turned in the other direction and waddled over to the sofa, collapsing amongst the cushions.
“What’s wrong with wanting kids?” Mikey asked himself starring up at the ceiling.

Meanwhile Robyn closed the door shut behind her; she too looked up at the ceiling. She gasped as she inhaled a breath; as she felt the need to cry overwhelm her. The look on Mikey’s face when she said that ran over and over in her mind.

As she didn’t want him hearing her, Robyn covered her mouth so she could keep her whimpers to herself, inhaling breathes through her nostrils.

It was a couple of hours later, before the sound of the elevator doors opened up alerted Mikey, who was napping on the sofa comfortably.
“Hey we’re back!” Julie announced, as the remaining lot made their way inside, Mikey shifted his head slightly and saw Leo and Donnie carrying a very upset Raphael, who had each of his arms wrapped around their shoulders.
“O-ow!!” Raph grunted.
“What happened?” Mikey asked, shifting himself up as Raph was carefully seated next to him.
“Nothin’” Raph growled back.

Charlotte sat herself on the armrest as she rubbed the back of his shell, giggling lightly.
“He threw his back out, when he tried lifting a two ton antique bookshelf by himself…” Don stated.
“I told ya not ta say anything!” Raph bellowed in embarrassment.
“Well it’s what you get for trying to show off” Leo replied with his arms crossed.

He was not impressed by it at all; it would at least be a week before he could be sure Raph was okay to resume his training. The hothead only growled back, he moved slightly before he cringed and fell back onto the cushions.
“Aww my poor baby” Charlotte mocked kissing the top of Raph’s forehead.

The girls all laughed as they saw his cheeks grow a bright red.
“So, how’s it’s been here? Was Kotaro a handful?” Mia asked, changing the subject.
“Yeah where’s Robyn?” Julie asked.
Though there was no response to their questions, Mikey was once again distracted by the ceiling as he hummed to himself.
“Err… hello shellforbrains, ya in there?” Raph said tapping his brother’s head.

Once again no reaction, this got everyone concerned.
“Err… Mikey? You okay bro?” Don asked, seeing if his brother had a fever, it was not like Mikey to sit quietly, ever.
“What’s so wrong with me? ... I’d make a good dad” he muttered, to no one in particular.
“Dad?”

Each of the turtles glanced at one another, as they were all puzzled over how to get Mikey out of his slum. Julie then slouched down besides Mikey, giving him a warm smile.
“So what did she do this time?” she asked, referring to Robyn. Even though Julie wasn’t a genius, it wasn’t hard to sus out what was bothering him.

“She didn’t do anything, I mean… I don’t think so… all I said was her, being great with Taro and the other two… I just… don’t understand why she wouldn’t want them herself…”
“Your referring to you… and Robyn having a family of your own I assume” Don finished.
“Well yeah…” Leo, Raph and Don all looked at one another before bursting out in fists of laughter.

Mikey was a bit offended standing up before all of them.
“W-what’s so funny?” he snarled.
“Come on Mikey ya can’t help but laugh…” Raph chuckled.
“Yeah… I mean no offense an’ all but I have to honestly say, out of all of us, I thought you’d be the last person on earth who’d want a kid, right next to Raph of course”
“Hey!” the hot head yelled.

Charlotte gave a hard punch to Raph’s arm, he cried out in pain.
“Don’t be mean!” she said.
“Yeah don’t listen to them Mikey… you have as much right to want a family as any other guy” Mia comforted resting her hand on his shoulder.
“Don’t worry we’ll go talk to her” Charlotte said patting Mikey’s shoulder.
“In the meantime your brothers will take care of you, if they know what’s good for them” Julie warned as she, Charlotte and Mia left the four of them together, whilst they tended to their friend.

Mikey grinned as grabbing the remote as he switched the TV’s on. Meanwhile Leo sat himself down in a meditation position whilst Don went off into his lab. Raph stayed seated on the sofa, the pain was dwindling though it wasn’t completely gone, true it was late but each of the brothers wanted to have some personal time before heading for bed.
“What’s suddenly put you in a good mood?” Raph grunted, with his arms enfolded.
“Oh… just the fact that all the women are on my side and you’re in the dog house” Mikey laughed.

He was given a whack around the head from his older brother, as Raph quickly swiped the remote from Mikey’s grip.
“HEY!” Mikey yelled tackling Raph to the floor.
“Gimmy the remote!”
“No way! You had all night watching ya shows!” Raph bellowed back.
“Na-uh! Cause I was babysitting!” Mikey replied.

The two of them tossed and rolled about all over the place, seeing as Leo wasn’t getting any peace and quiet he sighed picking himself up and made his way over to the dojo.
“If this is the example you wanna set for your kids… I feel sorry for them” Leo muttered closing the door shut behind him.
