Leo's POV

Beep... Beep. Leo groaned, jerking his head.
"Guys! He's waking up!" Mikey shouted.
"Shut up!" Raph growled. Leo allowed a groan to pass his lips. Leo's eye twitched. He... he was alive? He spread his fingers out, taking in the feeling of the sheets. His bed... The smell of the sewers. With careful hesitation he slowly opened his eye. 

"Finally!" Raph grinned. Leo tried for a smile before he realised it would hurt too much. Leo took a moment to assess his position. Laying on his bed, two pillows prominently  holding up his neck. Drip in his arm, heart monitor, thankfully connecting to a safe beat. 

"How you feeling?" Donnie asked, his hands refused to find a single place. Figiting around with blood soaked bandages or the almost gone IV drip. Mikey was sitting on his bed, leg rested on the boxes, covered in a large number of layer of bandages and a splint. Raph had leaned himself against the wall arms crossed in a trying to hide emotion. Master Splinter was holding his hand, lacing tightly in his mostly limp hand, mainly like the rest of his body. Leo pressed his lips reluctantly together... Did Donatello mean physically or mentally? He had tried so hard to defeat Stone... Fought with that depression for more than he should of allowed, but when his fear marched up to him reality stabbed him in the gut. It just proved how weak he really was. Physically was only t the the salt rubbed against the wounds. 

"I..." Words failed to form. 

"I know..." Donnie met eyes with him. "I tried, but..."

"It's ok Donnie."

"What's the point of being a doctor if I can't even help you?!"Donnie rose up his voice. 

"Woah, woah! Time out." Raph made the time out symbol. "What's wrong Leo?!" He demanded, eyes shifting between the brothers. Leo looked up at two clueless brothers and father. 

"I can't feel my legs." 

Mikey jumped up. "Your lying!" He insisted, sadness melting through his eyes. Splinter's grip tightened. Leo shrugged, the news only really hitting him. He gave a slow nod, keep in the pain. Why was emotion so easy to hide. Mikey's hand reached to his blankets shoving them off like they didn't matter. Leo forced a smile. They were just so... still. The heart monitor next to him refused to fail and started to slam loudly in his ear. 

"THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE INTO THAT FIGHT!" Casey's voice growled through the sewers. Leo relaxed down his shoulders. Thank goodness they were here. 

"Casey its only early in... and I didn't know." April chided softly. 

"WHERE IN HERE!!" Mikey screamed. Casey and April continued to argue with themselves before entering into his room. Casey, grinned. 

"Leo's awake!" He ran up and hugged him. Leo smiled, secretly appreciating the support. Ignoring the pain shooting through his tensed shoulders. Although on one side of the coin, the lucky side. Through the damage done to his spine, which resulted in his waist below paralysis at least he couldn't feel the stab wound. Oh no, Mikey's attempted 'happy therapy' was working...Oh shell.

"I'm ok... what were you two arguing about?" Leo smiled at the couple. Something was up. Casey, like usual had his hand curled in with April's. Leo couldn't help to pick up the fact that Casey had pulled his body over April. Maybe it was the fear, did Stone really mess them up that badly?! No... Leo held back his frown. Casey and April turned to each other blushing madly. 

"I..." April's voice faulted. She shook her head. "I'm pregnant." Her hand squeezed over her stomach. Once again shout out thanks to his heart monitor. 

"CONGRATULATIONS!"Leo spilled out, Mikey nodded.

"So... Casey's gonna be a dad? April, enjoy it while Casey hasn't killed it." Donnie muttered, giving a light shiver as imagining some horrible way the hot head might accidentally end the baby's life. Raph smirked. Splinter stood up, taking the couples hands. 

"Congratulations Miss O'Neil and Mr Jones, if you need any help on parenting." The old rat looked back at his four sons. April smiled. 

"Thank you sensei." She bowed. Splinter nodded. 

"Any time my daughter." 

"So... can we talk baby sitting fee then?" Mikey interrupted. Earning a fast elbow in the gut from Raph. Mikey winced. "Hey injured turtle here! Plus what about pizza money?" He whined. 

LEOOOOOOOOOOOO noo hes paralyzed now!! noo and oo casey and april are gonna have a baby?! oooo anyway i gotta go before dad kicks me off!
