Today, they were going to have to sit through a lecture on how to have, what Donny was calling, ‘safe sex’. That promised to be fun and awkward. \n\nAs she reached the top of the stairs she heard a squeal of delight followed by a deep, rumbling laugh. Rachael looked towards the entertainment room and saw Donna standing just outside the entrance, looking in. \n\nMoving up behind her sister, Rachael looked into the room. Raphael was on the floor, playing with Snow. The young mutant was wearing a sparkling purple princess dress with blue and purple fairy wings on her back. She giggled, clutching a similarly dressed Barbie doll to her chest as Raphael roared. “You can never defeat me!”\n\nShe smiled as she watched them. She had to admit that it was cute. Raph was a great dad and Rachael was willing to bet that Raph made both the dress and the doll for his daughter. He had skill. They looked better than anything Rachael had seen advertised on television. \n\nRaphael loomed close to Snow. “I’m gonna get ‘cha.” With a playful squeal, one of Snow’s chubby hands came up and bopped Raph on the snout. Raph fell to the floor, rolling to his back. “My one weakness.”\n\nSnow got up and toddled over to Raph then leaned down to plant a kiss on his beak. Raph grabbed her and lifted her up. “You fell for my trap. Now I’ve got you.” He brought her down to his chest, wrapped his arms around her and started to kiss her neck. \n\nSnow squealed and giggled, kicking her legs in a playful attempt to break free of Raph’s grip. “Dop it, daddy! Dop it!”\n\n“He’s great with her,” Donny said, causing Rachael and Donna to start and turn around. How did he get so close without them knowing? \n\nThere was a huge smile on his face as he walked past them. “Any one of you would be lucky to have him for a partner.” Then his smile dropped, replaced with a frown as he took in the scene. “Is that another new dress and doll?” He stormed into the room and looked down at Raph. \n\n“What?” Raph replied with a grin. “What good is having a child if you can’t spoil them every once and a while. Besides, who else am I gonna lavish with gifts? I’ve got all this stuff and no one to give it to.”\n\nWith a soft sigh, Donny reached down and picked up Snow. “You will have a girlfriend soon enough.”\n\n“Yeah sure,” Raph mumbled as he got to his feet. \n\nHeavy footfalls coming up behind them let Rachael know that Leatherhead was approaching. “Hello, ladies,” Leatherhead said to Donna and Rachael as he passed them to get into the entertainment room. Rachael and Donna mumbled their replies. Rachael couldn’t get over how big he was. How was Donny able to walk after being with him? \n\nHe headed straight for Donatello to retrieve his Snow. “I see that your daddy has given you some new toys.”\n\n“Papa,” Snow giggled, reaching out for Leatherhead to take her. \n\n“You get to play with me for a while,” Leatherhead cooed softly to Snow. “Mama has to talk about adult things with everyone else.”\n\nDonny chuckled. “You’re gonna miss all the fun.”\n\n“I’ll survive,” Leatherhead quipped back. \n\nRachael leaned against the wall and couldn’t help but smile. They had such a warm, loving relationship. She could see the admiration they had for one another in their eyes. She wanted that, to be able to say, ‘I love you,’ without saying anything at all, especially since the usually hated all that mushy stuff. \n\n“Time to go in,” Leonardo said from behind Rachael, causing both her and Donna to jump. Like Donny, his approach had been silent. How do the guys do that? He was able to get right behind Rachael without her knowing. He was going to have to teach her how he did that. \n\nIt wasn’t long before the others joined them and they all found a place to sit or stand. This included Sliver and Splinter, who chose to stay in the back and out of the way. Rachael supposed it was because they wanted to make sure that the lesson stayed on point but didn’t want to make things too awkward. Talking about sex around her mother was not Rachael’s idea of fun. \n\nRachael and her sisters occupied the large sofa, Tello sat in the arm chair, Mikey and Leo pulled up two desk chairs and Raph stood behind the sofa. Donatello stood in front of them and turned on the television.  He then placed a disk into the DVD player and a power point presentation came up on the screen. Rachael had to stifle a groan. \n\n“Oh come on, Donny,” Mikey complained, expressing Rachael’s exact feelings. “Is this really necessary? Sex is a pretty basic thing. It’s not hard to figure out.”\n\nDonny let out a soft chuckle. “You’re right, Mikey, it’s not that hard to figure out what goes where. But I’m not here to teach you how to have sex. I’m going to teach you how to have better and safer sex.\n\n“Having some knowledge about what to expect will be beneficial for all of you,” Donny explained. “Our anatomy can be… a bit shocking if they don’t know what to expect. And…,” Donny smiled, “there are a few things that I have to tell you about the girl’s anatomy that will help you to… uh…,” he looked back remembering that Splinter and Sliver were in the room, “be responsible.”\n\n“Oh.” Mikey grinned and leaned back in his seat, understanding what Donny was going to say. “Then bring on the knowledge. I would love to learn how to be responsible.”\n\nDonatello was very thorough in his lesson with detailed sketches on anatomy. He started with images of a turtle penis. And he was right, it was shocking. Despite the fact that she and Leo had sex, she did not see his penis.  \n\n“How does that thing fit?” Rachael blurted out, amazed that she hadn’t felt it smashing against her lungs. “Is there a void inside of us?”\n\n“There’s room,” Donny chuckled. \n\n“Don’t interrupt,” Donna hissed. \n\n“Hoping for some good pointers,” Rachael teased back, eliciting a deep blush from her sister. “You’re gonna need them. You….”\n\n“Enough,” Leah warned them, cutting off the rest of Rachael’s insult. Then she added in a whisper, “Mother is standing behind us.”\n\nRachael scoffed, crossed her arms and slouched back on the sofa. This was pointless and boring. Rachael looked at the drawing of a penis and tried to imagine what one would look like in real life, particularly Leo’s. She fantasized what she would do with it, picturing herself running her fingers along the shaft and licking the tip to have a taste. \n\nShe could see Leo lying on his bed, looking up at her. She would take her time, making sure he was pushed to his limit so that he would he rough with her again. \n\n“What do you mean they can store sperm?”\n\nLeo’s voice snapped Rachael out of her daydream. She looked at the television to see that Donatello had moved on to the female anatomy. Donatello’s eyes were wide, surprised by Leo’s outburst. “It’s only a theory,” Donny said. “There are species of turtle that store sperm for up to two years, so it’s possible….”\n\n“Two years?” Rachael blurted out and the room fell silent. Everyone was looking at either her or Leo in confusion. Racheal’s cheeks got hot as the beginning stages of panic started to set in. Did they suspect?\n\n“Oh shit. This is rich.” From his spot behind the sofa, Raph started to laugh. “Fearless fucked up. The perfect son did something wrong.” He looked at Leo and shook his head as his anger set in. “You didn’t finally get yourself under control, you gave in. It was easy for you to do since you had your pick.”\n\n“That’s enough, Raphael,” Splinter stepped in. \n\nRaph spun around to face his father, clenching his jaw in anger. It was obvious that he wanted to say more but, out of respect for his father, kept quiet. \n\nSplinter reached down and grabbed ahold of one of Raph’s clenched fists. It was a silent gesture of comfort that managed to calm Raphael down enough. “I’m going to my room.” Raph pulled his hand way from Splinter and turned to leave. “This shit’s pointless for me to know anyway.”\n\nSplinter watched in silence as Raphael left and then he turned to Leonardo. “Was he correct in his assumptions?”\n\n“Yes,” Leo answered, without looking at his father. His body was stiff and there was pain in his voice when he said that single word. \n\n“Come,” Splinter commanded and headed out of the room. \n\nDespite the torrent of emotions that he had to have been feeling, Leonardo didn’t hesitate to get up and follow Splinter. He was an obedient son. \n\nRachael sat still, her heart hammering in her chest as she waited for her mother to say something. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the looks on her sisters’ faces. There was a mixture of heartbreak, disappointment, shock, and anger. This was not how she wanted to let everyone know that they were together. \n\n“You as well,” Sliver said tartly and followed Leo out the door. Unlike Leo, Rachael was hesitant to get to her feet. She must have taken too long because Sliver paused at the entry way, and turned. “Now!”\n\nHer mother’s anger helped to motivate Rachael up off the sofa. She wasn’t looking forward to the lecture she was about to receive but she knew better than to make it worse by dragging her feet. \n\nThe four of them walked down to the dojo in silence. As soon as they entered the room Leonardo, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground, headed straight for the center and kneeled. \n\nRachael’s stomach was in knots and her head was spinning as she made her way over to kneel next to Leo. Was he mad at her? Tentatively reaching over for his hand, she was relieved when he turned his hand over to hold hers. Whatever happened now, at they were together in this. \n\n“Out of all of you…,” Splinter started, ending with a sigh. “I had expected better of you, Leonardo.”\n\n“I know,” Leonardo mumbled. “I am sorry. There is not excusing it. I could not get control of my basic instinct. I needed to stake my claim.”\n\n“Do you love her,” Sliver asked. \n\nGlancing over, Leonardo squeezed Rachael’s hand. He took a few steading breaths and then looked up at Splinter and Sliver. “I feel that she is the best option for my partner and, one day, the mother of my children. But, in all honesty, I cannot say yet that I love her yet. Though I care for her, it is all still too new. In time, I’m sure that bond of love will form.”\n\nSliver turned her attention to Rachael. “Do you love him?”\n\n“I don’t know,” Rachael answered honestly, shrugging her shoulders. “I know that I’m attracted to him. I know that both Leah and Donny wanted him so I needed to make a move. When I went to him, I wasn’t planning on… it happening. But I could see that he was struggling and I did end up antagonizing him. I guess I took it too far.”\n\n“There is no turning back from this,” Splinter stated. “The two of you barely know each other.  If this does not work, you two cannot simply go your separate ways and hope to find another.”\n\n“We will make this work,” Leo assured him. “You have my word.”\n\nSplinter and Sliver exchanged looks and then moved off, out of earshot to have a whispered discussion. Leonardo watched them for a moment before turning to Rachael. “I don’t regret it,” he whispered. \n\nRachael smirked at him. “If I’m gonna be stuck with someone, I’m glad it’s you. Your crazy matches my crazy. No one else would be able to handle us.” She looked over at their parents. “I wonder what they are talking about.”\n\n“What they’re going to do to us,” Leo replied. “Most likely.”\n\n“Well, they’re not going to tell us to stay away from each other. That’s not possible. I’m probably gonna be stuck with extra training or something like that,” Rachael said and then elbowed Leo. “That wouldn’t be much of a punishment for you though, would it.”\n\nLeo chuckled and shook his head. “My punishments are more along the lines of more chores. Like cooking and cleaning.”\n\nThe pair went silent when they saw that their parents were coming back over. They remained kneeling on the ground, holding hands as they waited for their parent’s verdict. “Seeing that Michelangelo and Michelle have established themselves as a couple,” Sliver began, “Splinter and I have agreed to allow Rachael to move into your room and Michelangelo to move in with Michelle. But keep in mind that if they are not ready then you will have to wait.”\n\nRachael looked up at them in confusion. “You’re not gonna punish us?”\n\n“We are both disappointed, but what can we do? The consequences of your actions will come later,” Splinter stated. “If you do not end up with children then you can count yourselves lucky.”\n\n“If you do have children, they will be yours to raise,” Sliver said, leaving no room for argument. “We will assist you, when needed, but they will be your responsibility.”  \n\nLeo bowed his head. “Yes, ma’am.”\n\n“Just in case,” Splinter said. “Use the condoms Donatello has provided from now on.”\n\n“We will.” Rachael nodded.\n\n“Go,” Sliver dismissed them, waving her hand. \n\nWithout letting go of one another’s hands, Leo and Rachael stood, bowed, and left the dojo. They made their way back to the entertainment room in hopes of finding Mikey and Michelle. Rachael’s heart was still hammering in her chest but, this time it was more from excitement than fear. \n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Rachael took the steps two at a time on her way up to the entertainment room.

No one else would be able to handle us.&rdquo; She looked over at their parents. &ldquo;I wonder what they are talking about.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What they&rsquo;re going to do to us,&rdquo; Leo replied. &ldquo;Most likely.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, they&rsquo;re not going to tell us to stay away from each other. That&rsquo;s not possible. I&rsquo;m probably gonna be stuck with extra training or something like that,&rdquo; Rachael said and then elbowed Leo. &ldquo;That wouldn&rsquo;t be much of a punishment for you though, would it.&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo chuckled and shook his head. &ldquo;My punishments are more along the lines of more chores. Like cooking and cleaning.&rdquo;<br /><br />The pair went silent when they saw that their parents were coming back over. They remained kneeling on the ground, holding hands as they waited for their parent&rsquo;s verdict. &ldquo;Seeing that Michelangelo and Michelle have established themselves as a couple,&rdquo; Sliver began, &ldquo;Splinter and I have agreed to allow Rachael to move into your room and Michelangelo to move in with Michelle. But keep in mind that if they are not ready then you will have to wait.&rdquo;<br /><br />Rachael looked up at them in confusion. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re not gonna punish us?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We are both disappointed, but what can we do? The consequences of your actions will come later,&rdquo; Splinter stated. &ldquo;If you do not end up with children then you can count yourselves lucky.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If you do have children, they will be yours to raise,&rdquo; Sliver said, leaving no room for argument. &ldquo;We will assist you, when needed, but they will be your responsibility.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Leo bowed his head. &ldquo;Yes, ma&rsquo;am.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Just in case,&rdquo; Splinter said. &ldquo;Use the condoms Donatello has provided from now on.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We will.&rdquo; Rachael nodded.<br /><br />&ldquo;Go,&rdquo; Sliver dismissed them, waving her hand. <br /><br />Without letting go of one another&rsquo;s hands, Leo and Rachael stood, bowed, and left the dojo. They made their way back to the entertainment room in hopes of finding Mikey and Michelle. Rachael&rsquo;s heart was still hammering in her chest but, this time it was more from excitement than fear. <br /></span>","pools_count":1,"title":"TMNT 100 Theme #43 Safety First","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"text/rtf","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"1","rating_name":"Mature","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"2","name":"Nudity","description":"Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)","rating_id":"1"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"16","views":"83","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
