This is the pre story to new world.", "writing": "``No Mikey no.... Mikey....NO!'' quick breaths, Raph was sitting up in his bed trying to calm himself down, while thinking damn it, not again, I hate this, he was stopped by the ancient one saying ``another nightmare. Tell me about it, only then can we move forward'' Raph told him about it, somehow it was easier, than telling his family about this scary stuff.\n\nWhen Raph was done, the ancient one said ``hmm, out from what I can tell, regarding what you have told me since you came here, then the problem isn't with you, it's with Michelangelo'' Raph stopped him by saying ``why would you say that? When I'm the one who has the anger, not him'' ``yes, you are, because you don't know how else to deal with him, but that I can help you with'' The ancient one said calmly to him.\n\n...............................................................\n\n8 months later.\n\nRaph walked in through the door and was about to shout, when he heard that they were in the dojo practicing, which gave him an idea. He put his bag down silently and went over to the dojo door silently, there he stood and yelled ``Boo!'' which made Leo lose focus, and in that moment, Donnie sent Leo flying down into the floor.\n\nAt the door Raph was still standing there, but now he had a big smile on his face, with closed eyes. Then he opened his eyes and calmly apologized ``sorry Leo, but I just couldn't resist it, forgive me?'' ``okay, who are you and what have you done with Raph?'' Leo answered him. Raph's face turned sad, before he said ``I just asked you for forgiveness and then you attack me like that, that hurts you know...deep sigh...never mind then, I'll wait till you can give me an answer. In the mean time I'll go unpack my bag'' Raph turned and walk away.\n\nIn his bedroom unpacking, he heard a tapping on his open door. When he looked, he saw Leo standing there, ``hey, may I come in?'' Leo asked softly, ``sure'' he answered him, ``thanks Raph'' Leo said, before walking in. ``I'm sorry about before, I didn't expect you to react like that'' Leo said with a smile, ``that wasn't funny at all Leo, at least not to me'' he answered him with a firm voice. \n\nLeo was talking calmly ``okay, I'm sorry Raph. I didn't know that, but now I do...how about we start over?'' Clearing his throat, before saying ``hi Raph welcome home'' ``hi Leo, thank you, it's nice to be back'' Raph said with a smile.\n\n``How was your trip?'' Leo asked him, ``it was fine, but my stay was very...insightful'' he answered back calmly with a smile, ``that sounds good'' Leo answered back smiling.\n\n``I brought you a present, I hope you like it'' he said while finding the present for Leo in his bag, ``oh, you didn't have to do that Raph'' Leo said looking a bit worried and surprised, ``it's something you can use for when you meditate in your room'' he said while handing Leo the present, ``oh, thank you'' Leo answered, but when he started to open the present Raph stopped him by saying ``if you don't mind it, I would like for you to open it in your room, without me, please'' ``oh, ah, okay, ah, then excuse me'' Leo said with surprise, before leaving Raph's room.\n\nHe found the other presents and took them in his arms, before leaving his room. He went to his father's room, there he saw that his father was sitting drinking his tea, he tapped lightly on the door, before saying ``sorry to disturb you, father, but I have a present for you, from my stay. May I come in and give you the present?'' ``yes, you may, my son'' Splinter said smiling ``thank you, father'' he said, before going into the room.\n\n``I hope you will like it'' he said handing his present to Splinter, with both hands. ``I hope so too, my son, thank you'' Splinter said taking the present with both hands and made a small nod with his head. Before Raph let go of the present, he too made a small nod with his head. ``I will leave you to enjoy your tea in peace, father'' he said, before making a small bow and getting up and left the room. ``Thank you, Raphael'' Splinter said smiling, Raph smiled in return.\n\nRaph went to Donnie's lab, where he found Donnie working. ``Donnie, do you have a moment? I have a present for you'' he said calmly from the door, waiting to hear the answer from Donnie. ``Huh, oh yes, sure, come in Raph'' Donnie said to him ``thank you'' he answered back smiling.\n\n``I hope you can use this'' he said smiling, ``well let's find out'' Donnie said reaching out for the present. He gave Donnie a look that stopped him, before saying ``both hands please, it's heavy'' ``oh, right, sorry'' Donnie said taking the present with both hands, ``I'll leave you to finish what you were working on'' he said with a smile, before turning and left the room.\n\nWhen he came out of Donnie's lab, he was met by Mikey ``hey bro, do you have a present for me too?'' Mikey said with a big smile and bright eyes, ``yes, but I will not give it to you, before you have calmed down'' he answered Mikey.\n\n``Dude why not?'' Mikey complaint to him, ``because I don't want you to break the present, before you get to open it, Mikey'' he said with a firm voice, ``okay, then what if you take the present into my room and put it on my bed? Then after you have left my room, then I can open it carefully, would that be better?'' Mikey asked him with as calm a voice as he could manage.\n\n``Alright Mikey, but if it breaks then you won't be getting a new one, understood?'' he said with a stern voice and face, ``okay'' Mikey answered smiling big.\n\nThey walked side by side to Mikey's bedroom, where Mikey opened the door and waited outside the door, while Raph went inside the room and put the present down on the center of the bed, before turning to walk back out, when he turned around, he saw Mikey smiling big with bright eyes, just like a little child on Christmas he thought to himself.\n\n``Alright Mikey go ahead'' Raph said to him calmly after he had left the room, ``thank you, bro'' Mikey answered him with a big smile, before going into his room and closed the door to open the present in private.\n\nRaph walked into his room to unpack the rest of his things in private. After that was done, he took a look around his room and didn't like the way it looked. He loved his room the way it was before he left, but now it was a nightmare to look at.\n\nHe wrote down what needed to be done and in what order, so that he could get the materials needed for the different steps. But first a floorplan needed to be made, which meant that he had to measure his room first.\n\nRaph left his room and went to Donnie's lab, in Donnie's lab he asked calmly ``hey Donnie do you have a measuring tape that I can borrow?'' ``huh, oh, sure it's over there on the bookcase'' Donnie said while pointing over his shoulder without looking up from his microscope.\n\nHe went over to the bookcase and found the measuring tape, before leaving the room he said ``thank you, Donnie, I will put it back when I'm done with it'' ``mhm, sure'' Donnie answered him, Donnie's answer made him smile and shake his head while leaving the lab.\n\nBack in his room, Raph got to work with the measuring tape, he made sure to write the correct numbers down for the correct places. He was working so much, that he forgot about lunch, but Leo came to the door with a plate of food for him. At the door Leo waited and said ``Raph, lunch time, I brought you a plate and a cup of coffee'' Raph turned and looked at him with big eyes and said, ``huh, but it's not time for, wait...have I been working this whole time?''\n\nLeo smiled at him and said, ``yes, you have, now where do you want it?'' Raph looked around for a sec, before saying ``I'll take it'' Raph put down what he had in his hands and took the plate and cup from Leo, ``coffee and pot-roast? Weird but okay'' Raph said before taking a sip of the coffee.\n\nLeo sat down on the floor in front of Raph and said ``so what are you working on in here?'' ``just making some changes to my room, but I needed to measure everything first'' Raph said before taking another bit of food. ``Why?'' Leo asked curiously, ``because I want to'' Raph answered him calmly.\n\n``So, what did you learn while you were with the ancient one?'' Leo asked calmly, ``a lot of personal stuff, that I'm not ready to share'' Raph said calmly, ``oh alright'' Leo said looking a little disappointed, ``thank you for the present, I like it. Where did you get that incense from? It smells really good'' Leo said calmly with a smile, ``I'm glad you like it. It wasn't easy to make, it took me a few tries to get it right'' Raph said smiling.\n\n``Wait, you made it?'' Leo asked, ``yes, yes I did, I made all of the presents for you guys. I made incense for you, tools and a toolbox for Donnie, comics and two action figures for Mikey, for father I made a special pot, that I have planted a special seed in. Thank you for the food, Leo'' Raph said giving him a smile, before getting up.\n\nRaph walk out of his room with the plate and cup in his hands, he took them to the kitchen were Mikey, Donnie and Splinter were still sitting, ``finish, who's turn is it to wash the dishes?'' Raph asked calmly, ``it's your turn Raphie'' Mikey said smiling, ``alright, then I'll wait till you are all done eating'' Raph said while making a cup of tea.\n\n``You drink tea now?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``huh, oh, yes, but not green tea, turns out I like a tea called oolong the best'' Raph said half laughing, ``huh, guess the coffee is all mine now'' Donnie said smiling, ``oh I still enjoy a cup of coffee every now and then'' Raph said calmly with a smile while sitting down at the table.\n\n``Why were you in your room, Raphael? Were you angry with us?'' Splinter said looking a little concerned at him, ``no dad, I was working on some plans for the new layout of my room'' Raph answered calmly, ``why?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``because my room doesn't have a calm area or a calm atmosphere, and I need that now, so therefor I'm remaking my room'' Raph said calmly.\n\nLeo came into the kitchen and sat down at the table, ``are you drinking tea?'' Leo said surprised, ``yes, oolong tea to be precise, found out I prefer it over the green tea, but I still drink coffee now and then. I got a nice blend home with me, if you want, then I can make a pot, if you want to try it later?'' Raph said calmly before taking a sip from his cup, ``sounds good Raphael'' Splinter said smiling.\n\nWhen they all were done eating and drinking, then Raph took everything off the table and started doing the dishes, he did it without saying a word or complain in any way, they saw that he took his time and did everything thoroughly, while he stayed calm and humming a tune.\n\nAll of this was something that Raph normally didn't do, when doing the dishes and this was why they stayed and just watched him without saying anything. When Raph was done with washing, drying and putting away, he turned around and came over to the table and dried it off, when he was done with everything, he went to his room and got back to work.\n\nFrom the sound of it his family was being really quiet, but Raph didn't let it bother him, he just focused on what he was doing. After a little while he went over to his cabinet, there he took out a little stereo and put on some music, but he didn't turn it up to loud just in case Mikey was sleeping in his room.\n\nRaph went in and out of the lair several times during the night, he was getting things and materials that he needed from abandon buildings in the neighborhood, since nobody would notice or care then it was easy, it also meant that he didn't have to go far for everything, but of course Leo had to be awake and keep an eye on him.\n\nHe took it easy with Leo watching over him, because there was no reason to fight with him over this, besides he could need a lookout anyway, just in case. Raph kept on getting what he needed while Leo kept a lookout for him. When Raph was done, he went up to let Leo know by giving him the *time to go* sign, Leo came over to him and they went back together.\n\nOnce back home, Raph said ``goodnight Leo and thank you for keeping an eye out for trouble'' ``no problem Raph and goodnight'' Leo answered calmly, then they both went to their rooms and went to bed.\n\nThe next day Leo was surprised to find, that breakfast had been made and a pot of tea, along with the table had been set for everyone. At the table in his chair was Raph, he was sitting and calmly eating his breakfast and drinking his tea. Raph looked at Leo and gave him a smile and a nod towards his chair, Leo went over and sat down quietly.\n\nBefore any of them could say a word, Splinter came into the kitchen and saw them both sitting there calmly, Splinter smiled and said ``good morning my sons'' ``good morning dad, I made a small pot of my tea, so you and Leo can taste it if you want to'' Raph answered calmly, ``thank you, Raphael that sounds good'' Splinter said while pouring himself a cup of tea.\n\n``Good morning father'' Leo said calmly and smiling, ``good morning Leonardo'' Splinter answered him calmly.\n\n``Hmm not bad, Raphael'' Splinter said after he had taken a sip of the tea, ``thank you, dad'' Raph answered calmly, ``wow, this is actually good, but a bit too strong for me'' Leo said surprised, ``I'm glad you like it Leo'' Raph said smiling.\n\nThey sat in silence and enjoyed their breakfast, when Donnie came into the kitchen, ``huh, since when are you up before me, Raph?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``morning to you too, Donnie'' Raph said smiling, ``eight months is a long time, but it made it easier to get into a new daily routine'' Raph said calmly.\n\nDonnie was about to make a pot of coffee when Raph said, ``please drink the coffee on the table first, Donnie'' ``huh?'' Donnie answered before turning to look at the table, there in front of his seat was a thermo bottle of coffee waiting for him, ``oh, thank you, Raph'' Donnie said while sitting down next to him, ``no problem Donnie'' Raph said smiling.\n\nDonnie took a sip of the coffee, and realized that it wasn't his usual blend, ``this is not my regular blend'' Donnie said surprised, ``you like it?'' Raph asked a little nervous, ``yes, I like it. It is better and a bit sweeter than my regular blend'' Donnie said calmly with a smile.\n\n``What blend is this?'' Donnie asked before taking another sip, ``it is a blend called *slow morning* from Japan. I thought you might like it, but if you didn't then I would just drink it myself, but I'm glad you like it'' Raph said and gave Donnie a happy smile.\n\nMikey came into the kitchen all happy and sang ``good morning everyone'' ``good morning my son'' Splinter calmly said in between sips of his tea, ``good morning Mikey'' Donnie and Leo said calmly, ``morning Mikey'' Raph said calmly in between bites.\n\n``Mikey breakfast is already on the table'' Leo said firmly, ``oh, okay Leo'' Mikey said while sitting down, ``well I'm done, so I will go wait in the dojo'' Raph said calmly while getting up and taking his plate and cup to the sink.\n\nRaph went into the dojo and started to stretch out, then he saw that Splinter was watching him, and looking like he had something to ask him, ``what is it Sensei?'' Raph calmly asked, ``I was just wondering about what you learned, while you were with the ancient one'' Splinter said thoughtful, ``if you mean the fighting stuff, then I can show you, but not the rest, the rest I can only tell you about'' Raph answered a little nervously, ``sounds good my son'' Splinter said smiling.\n\n``Now let me see what fighting skills you have learned'' Splinter said while putting down his cane, Raph went over to the nearest wall and sat down his weapons, before turning towards his sensei and gave a small bow before saying ``alright as you wish Sensei.''\n\nAs they were fighting the others came into the dojo, and sat down and watched them in silence, they saw how focused Raph was, and that his temper didn't get in the way. They noticed that Raph had some new moves and Leo made a note of them, so he wouldn't get surprised by them.\n\nSuddenly Splinter stopped the fight by saying ``yame'' and Raph stopped as soon as he heard it, then the two bowed to each other, before Splinter went over and got his cane and went to sit down at his usual spot.\n\nSplinter paired Raph with Mikey for the first round, and for the second round it was Leo and Donnie. When they were told to begin, everyone but Raph and Mikey seamed nervous about the fight, but to their surprise no matter how much Mikey talked or what he said, Raph didn't lose his temper.\n\nRaph pulled out a new move and ended the fight suddenly, Mikey was lying on the floor with big eyes, trying to find out what happened. ``Yame'' Splinter called and Raph offered his hand to Mikey in order to help him up from the floor, Mikey took the hand and got up from the floor, they went over and sat down by the wall, while Donnie and Leo went out onto the floor to start their fight.\n\nLooking out of the corner of his eye, Raph saw that Mikey was still confused about what happened, he smiled on the inside while watching Leo and Donnie. During the fight Donnie copied the new move, that Raph used to end the fight, and he got Leo down in the floor. Raph smiled proudly at Donnie while Mikey still tried to figure it out.\n\n``Yame'' Splinter called and Donnie offered his hand to Leo, Leo took it and got up, then they went over and sat down next to Raph and Mikey. Splinter came over and told them, that he was proud of Raph for not losing his temper, and proud of Donnie for being able to copy Raph's move that fast. Then he ended the training session with basic katas.\n\nAfter practice they went and took a shower, before getting to their everyday activities, Leo went over to the meditation corner, Mikey went to the living room to play a video game, Donnie went to the lab to continue his work, while Raph went to his room and got started with the work to chance it.\n\nRaph worked almost day and night on his room until he was done. The first night after he was done, he sneaked into Donnie's room, once inside Donnie's room Raph came over to Donnie's bed, and saw Donnie sleeping.\n\nHe leaned down and gave Donnie a tender kiss on the mouth, which made Donnie wake up suddenly, Raph stopped the kiss and asked ``are you mad at me?'' ``a little. I thought you had forgotten me'' Donnie answered sadly, ``I'm sorry, my love. Leo was walking around when I tried to get to you, so I decided to finish my room first, that way I had an excuse for being up late, if he caught me'' Raph whispered close to Donnie's mouth.\n\nDonnie's responds were a sudden kiss on the mouth followed by a sly smile, before he said ``I'll forgive you, if you can make me cum more than three times tonight'' Raph smile and made a deep churr before saying ``deal, my love'' then he got down on top of Donnie, while kissing him tenderly.\n\nThe next morning Donnie woke up next to Raph, ``you stayed the night?'' Donnie whispered close to Raph's mouth, ``I know'' Raph said smiling, ``but why?'' Donnie asked confused, ``I am tired of hiding our love, so if they catch us, they catch us, I don't care anymore, I want them to know, so I can kiss you without having to worry if they see it or not. I love you, Donnie'' Raph answered calmly, ``then we will need to tell them today, it is better to get it over with'' Donnie said with a small smile, ``agree'' Raph said before kissing Donnie on the mouth.\n\nThey got out of bed and went to the bathroom and took a shower, before going to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Once in the kitchen they found as always Splinter and Leo already there. ``Morning my sons'' Splinter calmly said with a smile, ``morning dad'' they answered together, ``morning Leo'' Donnie said while sitting down at the table, ``morning Donnie'' Leo answered with a smile, ``morning Raph'' Leo said calmly, ``morning Leo'' Raph answered calmly while making a pot of coffee.\n\nRaph made breakfast for himself and Donnie, before he sat down and started to eat with them. They were eating in silence when Mikey came in, and sang ``good morning everyone'' everyone answered as they always did. As always Mikey talked while eating his breakfast, but this time Raph finish his breakfast before them, and got up and sat his cup and plate down by the sink, before going into the dojo.\n\n``Dad, Raph and I have something we need to talk about with the whole family, so we will wait in the dojo for you. We need to talk about this before morning practice, if that is okay with you?'' Donnie said as calmly as he could manage, ``sounds like a good idea, my son'' Splinter answered calmly, Mikey and Leo were looking surprised at Donnie, but said nothing.\n\nDonnie got up and went into the dojo, ``hey, I told them we need to talk before practice'' Donnie said worried, ``good. Hey it will be okay'' Raph said while holding Donnie's hands in his own. They sat down next to each other, and waited for the rest to come join them. Once everyone was seated in the dojo, ``you start'' Splinter said calmly, ``thank you, dad'' Donnie said nervously.\n\nRaph saw how nervous Donnie was and took over for him, ``Donnie and I are in love with each other, and we have been together for almost eighteen months now. We need you to know because we are tired of hiding it from you, and that is it'' Raph calmly explain to them, ``hmm, I see and you agree with Raphael, Donatello?'' Splinter said calmly, ``yes, I agree with him, dad'' Donnie calmly said.\n\n``Very well, then that is the way it is. I'm glad that you both have proven, that you can focus in a fight, even before Raphael left to train with the ancient one'' Splinter said smiling, ``thank you, dad'' Raph and Donnie answered together with a smile.\n\n``Speaking of love. Mikey and I are also in love with each other'' Leo calmly said while looking at Splinter, ``yes, and we have been together for almost eight months now'' Mikey said smiling, ``hmm I see. Well I am glad that you are telling me this my sons, and I am very happy for all of you'' Splinter said smiling happily.\n\n``Time to practice, we will start with the basic katas'' Splinter said while standing up, they followed their sensei and got started with practice. After practice they took a shower and got started with their usual things. Everything seemed to go well, even when Mikey tried on purpose to make Raph mad at him, they all thought that Raph would lose it, but instead he went to his room and closed the door behind him, which left Mikey confused.\n\nIn his room Raph went over to the punching bag, and started hitting it while cursing his younger brother's behavior. When he was done, he went over to his meditation corner, turned on a candle and sat down and started to meditate in peace. This was one of the new methods, that the ancient one had taught him to use instead of hurting Mikey. Raph had found out that he liked using this method, because it didn't leave him with regret afterwards, which he always hated.\n\nAfter he had clamed down completely, he left his room and went to Donnie's lab, and found him there working on something to sell in April's store. Raph went over behind him and gently gave him a kiss on the shoulder, ``I need you, my love'' Raph said gently in a deep voice next to Donnie's ear, Donnie's responds was a loud churr. Raph took the screwdriver out of Donnie's hand and pulled him gently out of his chair, and after him out of the lab and all the way into Donnie's bed room, where he closed and locked the door after them.\n\nMikey saw them go into Donnie's room, and got the same idea about Leo, so he left his game to look for Leo, when he found him meditating, Mikey just couldn't help it, he crawled on all four over to him, until he was close enough to give him a kiss on the mouth. Leo had noticed him come in and come closer, but the kiss surprised him, ``Mikey, I'm trying to meditate here'' Leo said calmly, ``I know, but I need you now'' Mikey begged before giving another kiss, ``dad is out for his walk, and Raphie and Donnie are in Donnie's room, so don't tell me you don't want to take this opportunity to have a little fun with me'' Mikey said while pulling Leo down on top of him, ``you win'' Leo said smiling big.\n\nLaying on the floor in the dojo holding each other, ``hey, do you love Raphie and Donnie too?'' Mikey asked curiously, ``why do you ask?'' Leo answered calmly, ``well I was thinking, that maybe we could all be together, so do you love them too?'' Mikey said gently, ``yes I do, but what if they don't like this idea?'' Leo answered with concern, ``we should start by asking them of course'' Mikey said smiling, ``then let's ask them tonight'' Leo said calmly but firmly, ``okay'' Mikey answered before giving Leo a kiss on the mouth.\n\nThe rest of the day went by without any problems, with the brothers doing each their things, except for meals and practice. When it became night time, the four brothers meet in Leo's bedroom with each their futon. Mikey had gotten them all to agree to a slumber party in Leo's room.\n\nNow that they all were in the same room, and were sitting on their futons, Mikey said slowly ``so the real reason for this slumber party is, that Leo and I have something to ask the two of you'' Raph and Donnie looked at each other with surprise for a moment, before Donnie answered ``okay Mikey. What is it?'' ``we wanted to know if the two of you would be willing to, maybe be with us, so that we all four are together as one couple, sorta speak, but only if the both of you want to'' Leo calmly explained while holding Mikey's hand.\n\n``You want the four of us to be one couple?'' Raph asked slowly, ``right now it is only to talk about it, not anything else, I promise Raph'' Leo said gently as to not make Raph mad, ``so how exactly do you think this would work?'' Donnie asked confused, ``yes, like do we only have sex in a group or what? And what if I only want to be one of you, is that then allowed?'' Raph asked confused, ``well I think that to begin with, it would be best to only have sex in a group, just until we have gotten use to being together like that, and then we can start to have sex out side of the group. Besides I don't think we all have the same kinks, so if we can wait with them until after the group period, then that would be great'' Mikey explained calmly with a smile.\n\n``What if I have something, that I would like to try with all of you?'' Donnie asked calmly while blushing, ``so hold on, you two are onboard with this?'' Leo asked confused, Donnie and Raph looked at each other and smiled at each other, before turning their heads back to them and said together ``yes'' ``yay, then it is settled then'' Mikey sang while giving Leo a hug and Leo smiled in return. ``Alright so the first week we will only be sleeping in the same room, before we begin with the more intimate stuff'' Leo explained to everyone. They all agreed with him and went to bed.\n\nAfter the first week was over, they were all in bed together again, but this time kissing was involved, and none of them knew how they would react to this, therefor they were all nervous as they were sitting in a circle face to face. Mikey was the one to move his head forward first into the center, then Raph took a deep breath and did the same, and they began to kiss slowly. When the kiss broke, they sat back up, and looked at each other with an awkward smile on both their faces.\n\nThey took a look at their partners, ``you alright?'' Raph asked Donnie gently, ``yes, it's a little awkward, but I don't mind it'' Donnie answered smiling, Raph gave Donnie a kiss in responds. ``How about you Leo?'' Mikey asked calmly, ``a little awkward, but not bad'' Leo answered calmly with a smile. The rest of the night went with them kissing each other, back and forth between them all, until they fell asleep together.\n\nAfter almost two months of getting use to each other in bed, the awkwardness had gone away completely, and they were now fully enjoying each other.\n\n...............................................\n\nOne day April came to the lair, ``hey guys'' she called out, ``hey April'' they called back, ``what's in the box?'' Mikey asked curiously, ``oh, it came for you. Donnie why didn't you tell me to expect a package for you?'' April asked confused, ``eh? Because I didn't order anything'' Donnie answered confused, ``that would be my package then'' Raph answered while coming over to take the package from her, ``thank you, April'' Raph said while taking the package from her, ``no problem, but what did you order, Raph? It is really heavy'' April asked curiously.\n\n``Oh, just some books'' Raph said calmly, before turning and going to his room calmly, ``books?'' April thought out loud, ``I think he likes to read now, because I caught him reading one of my books'' Donnie explained calmly to them, ``I see, but what does he read? I mean is it history, novels?'' April asked confused, ``I don't know, yet'' Donnie answered calmly, ``we will find out when Raphael is ready to tell us'' Splinter said calmly.\n\nIn his room whit the package in hand, Raph closed and locked his door, before going over to his bed and opened the package, and one by one he took out medical books, books on turtle anatomy and books on natural medicine. One by one he put the books away, on the shelves under his bed, before he took one book over to his armchair and started to study.\n\nRaph kept what he was doing a secret for as long as possible, not because he didn't want anybody to know, but because he wasn't ready to share it, and with a curious Mikey, secrets were hard to keep, but he manage to keep this one for almost four months. It was the day when Donnie got hurt, that Raph finally told them, and took care of Donnie's injuries, on his own without a problem. The family had been in disbelief all but Donnie, Donnie blushed and felt kind of honored by Raph's choice of profession.\n\nIt took the family some time to get use to having two doctors in the family, but they were happy about it, not only for safety reasons, but also for that Raph had chosen it freely, and he was good at it, plus it seemed to help calm him down. Because of having two doctors, Donnie and Raph had decided to make Donnie the general doctor, and Raph the surgeon doctor.\n\n...........................................\n\nA few weeks later the power went out, and they didn't know why.\n\nTBC in New world.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "``No Mikey no.... Mikey....NO!'' quick breaths, Raph was sitting up in his bed trying to calm himself down, while thinking damn it, not again, I hate this, he was stopped by the ancient one saying ``another nightmare. Tell me about it, only then can we move forward'' Raph told him about it, somehow it was easier, than telling his family about this scary stuff.

When Raph was done, the ancient one said ``hmm, out from what I can tell, regarding what you have told me since you came here, then the problem isn't with you, it's with Michelangelo'' Raph stopped him by saying ``why would you say that? When I'm the one who has the anger, not him'' ``yes, you are, because you don't know how else to deal with him, but that I can help you with'' The ancient one said calmly to him.

...............................................................

8 months later.

Raph walked in through the door and was about to shout, when he heard that they were in the dojo practicing, which gave him an idea. He put his bag down silently and went over to the dojo door silently, there he stood and yelled ``Boo!'' which made Leo lose focus, and in that moment, Donnie sent Leo flying down into the floor.

At the door Raph was still standing there, but now he had a big smile on his face, with closed eyes. Then he opened his eyes and calmly apologized ``sorry Leo, but I just couldn't resist it, forgive me?'' ``okay, who are you and what have you done with Raph?'' Leo answered him. Raph's face turned sad, before he said ``I just asked you for forgiveness and then you attack me like that, that hurts you know...deep sigh...never mind then, I'll wait till you can give me an answer. In the mean time I'll go unpack my bag'' Raph turned and walk away.

In his bedroom unpacking, he heard a tapping on his open door. When he looked, he saw Leo standing there, ``hey, may I come in?'' Leo asked softly, ``sure'' he answered him, ``thanks Raph'' Leo said, before walking in. ``I'm sorry about before, I didn't expect you to react like that'' Leo said with a smile, ``that wasn't funny at all Leo, at least not to me'' he answered him with a firm voice.

Leo was talking calmly ``okay, I'm sorry Raph. I didn't know that, but now I do...how about we start over?'' Clearing his throat, before saying ``hi Raph welcome home'' ``hi Leo, thank you, it's nice to be back'' Raph said with a smile.

``How was your trip?'' Leo asked him, ``it was fine, but my stay was very...insightful'' he answered back calmly with a smile, ``that sounds good'' Leo answered back smiling.

``I brought you a present, I hope you like it'' he said while finding the present for Leo in his bag, ``oh, you didn't have to do that Raph'' Leo said looking a bit worried and surprised, ``it's something you can use for when you meditate in your room'' he said while handing Leo the present, ``oh, thank you'' Leo answered, but when he started to open the present Raph stopped him by saying ``if you don't mind it, I would like for you to open it in your room, without me, please'' ``oh, ah, okay, ah, then excuse me'' Leo said with surprise, before leaving Raph's room.

He found the other presents and took them in his arms, before leaving his room. He went to his father's room, there he saw that his father was sitting drinking his tea, he tapped lightly on the door, before saying ``sorry to disturb you, father, but I have a present for you, from my stay. May I come in and give you the present?'' ``yes, you may, my son'' Splinter said smiling ``thank you, father'' he said, before going into the room.

``I hope you will like it'' he said handing his present to Splinter, with both hands. ``I hope so too, my son, thank you'' Splinter said taking the present with both hands and made a small nod with his head. Before Raph let go of the present, he too made a small nod with his head. ``I will leave you to enjoy your tea in peace, father'' he said, before making a small bow and getting up and left the room. ``Thank you, Raphael'' Splinter said smiling, Raph smiled in return.

Raph went to Donnie's lab, where he found Donnie working. ``Donnie, do you have a moment? I have a present for you'' he said calmly from the door, waiting to hear the answer from Donnie. ``Huh, oh yes, sure, come in Raph'' Donnie said to him ``thank you'' he answered back smiling.

``I hope you can use this'' he said smiling, ``well let's find out'' Donnie said reaching out for the present. He gave Donnie a look that stopped him, before saying ``both hands please, it's heavy'' ``oh, right, sorry'' Donnie said taking the present with both hands, ``I'll leave you to finish what you were working on'' he said with a smile, before turning and left the room.

When he came out of Donnie's lab, he was met by Mikey ``hey bro, do you have a present for me too?'' Mikey said with a big smile and bright eyes, ``yes, but I will not give it to you, before you have calmed down'' he answered Mikey.

``Dude why not?'' Mikey complaint to him, ``because I don't want you to break the present, before you get to open it, Mikey'' he said with a firm voice, ``okay, then what if you take the present into my room and put it on my bed? Then after you have left my room, then I can open it carefully, would that be better?'' Mikey asked him with as calm a voice as he could manage.

``Alright Mikey, but if it breaks then you won't be getting a new one, understood?'' he said with a stern voice and face, ``okay'' Mikey answered smiling big.

They walked side by side to Mikey's bedroom, where Mikey opened the door and waited outside the door, while Raph went inside the room and put the present down on the center of the bed, before turning to walk back out, when he turned around, he saw Mikey smiling big with bright eyes, just like a little child on Christmas he thought to himself.

``Alright Mikey go ahead'' Raph said to him calmly after he had left the room, ``thank you, bro'' Mikey answered him with a big smile, before going into his room and closed the door to open the present in private.

Raph walked into his room to unpack the rest of his things in private. After that was done, he took a look around his room and didn't like the way it looked. He loved his room the way it was before he left, but now it was a nightmare to look at.

He wrote down what needed to be done and in what order, so that he could get the materials needed for the different steps. But first a floorplan needed to be made, which meant that he had to measure his room first.

Raph left his room and went to Donnie's lab, in Donnie's lab he asked calmly ``hey Donnie do you have a measuring tape that I can borrow?'' ``huh, oh, sure it's over there on the bookcase'' Donnie said while pointing over his shoulder without looking up from his microscope.

He went over to the bookcase and found the measuring tape, before leaving the room he said ``thank you, Donnie, I will put it back when I'm done with it'' ``mhm, sure'' Donnie answered him, Donnie's answer made him smile and shake his head while leaving the lab.

Back in his room, Raph got to work with the measuring tape, he made sure to write the correct numbers down for the correct places. He was working so much, that he forgot about lunch, but Leo came to the door with a plate of food for him. At the door Leo waited and said ``Raph, lunch time, I brought you a plate and a cup of coffee'' Raph turned and looked at him with big eyes and said, ``huh, but it's not time for, wait...have I been working this whole time?''

Leo smiled at him and said, ``yes, you have, now where do you want it?'' Raph looked around for a sec, before saying ``I'll take it'' Raph put down what he had in his hands and took the plate and cup from Leo, ``coffee and pot-roast? Weird but okay'' Raph said before taking a sip of the coffee.

Leo sat down on the floor in front of Raph and said ``so what are you working on in here?'' ``just making some changes to my room, but I needed to measure everything first'' Raph said before taking another bit of food. ``Why?'' Leo asked curiously, ``because I want to'' Raph answered him calmly.

``So, what did you learn while you were with the ancient one?'' Leo asked calmly, ``a lot of personal stuff, that I'm not ready to share'' Raph said calmly, ``oh alright'' Leo said looking a little disappointed, ``thank you for the present, I like it. Where did you get that incense from? It smells really good'' Leo said calmly with a smile, ``I'm glad you like it. It wasn't easy to make, it took me a few tries to get it right'' Raph said smiling.

``Wait, you made it?'' Leo asked, ``yes, yes I did, I made all of the presents for you guys. I made incense for you, tools and a toolbox for Donnie, comics and two action figures for Mikey, for father I made a special pot, that I have planted a special seed in. Thank you for the food, Leo'' Raph said giving him a smile, before getting up.

Raph walk out of his room with the plate and cup in his hands, he took them to the kitchen were Mikey, Donnie and Splinter were still sitting, ``finish, who's turn is it to wash the dishes?'' Raph asked calmly, ``it's your turn Raphie'' Mikey said smiling, ``alright, then I'll wait till you are all done eating'' Raph said while making a cup of tea.

``You drink tea now?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``huh, oh, yes, but not green tea, turns out I like a tea called oolong the best'' Raph said half laughing, ``huh, guess the coffee is all mine now'' Donnie said smiling, ``oh I still enjoy a cup of coffee every now and then'' Raph said calmly with a smile while sitting down at the table.

``Why were you in your room, Raphael? Were you angry with us?'' Splinter said looking a little concerned at him, ``no dad, I was working on some plans for the new layout of my room'' Raph answered calmly, ``why?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``because my room doesn't have a calm area or a calm atmosphere, and I need that now, so therefor I'm remaking my room'' Raph said calmly.

Leo came into the kitchen and sat down at the table, ``are you drinking tea?'' Leo said surprised, ``yes, oolong tea to be precise, found out I prefer it over the green tea, but I still drink coffee now and then. I got a nice blend home with me, if you want, then I can make a pot, if you want to try it later?'' Raph said calmly before taking a sip from his cup, ``sounds good Raphael'' Splinter said smiling.

When they all were done eating and drinking, then Raph took everything off the table and started doing the dishes, he did it without saying a word or complain in any way, they saw that he took his time and did everything thoroughly, while he stayed calm and humming a tune.

All of this was something that Raph normally didn't do, when doing the dishes and this was why they stayed and just watched him without saying anything. When Raph was done with washing, drying and putting away, he turned around and came over to the table and dried it off, when he was done with everything, he went to his room and got back to work.

From the sound of it his family was being really quiet, but Raph didn't let it bother him, he just focused on what he was doing. After a little while he went over to his cabinet, there he took out a little stereo and put on some music, but he didn't turn it up to loud just in case Mikey was sleeping in his room.

Raph went in and out of the lair several times during the night, he was getting things and materials that he needed from abandon buildings in the neighborhood, since nobody would notice or care then it was easy, it also meant that he didn't have to go far for everything, but of course Leo had to be awake and keep an eye on him.

He took it easy with Leo watching over him, because there was no reason to fight with him over this, besides he could need a lookout anyway, just in case. Raph kept on getting what he needed while Leo kept a lookout for him. When Raph was done, he went up to let Leo know by giving him the *time to go* sign, Leo came over to him and they went back together.

Once back home, Raph said ``goodnight Leo and thank you for keeping an eye out for trouble'' ``no problem Raph and goodnight'' Leo answered calmly, then they both went to their rooms and went to bed.

The next day Leo was surprised to find, that breakfast had been made and a pot of tea, along with the table had been set for everyone. At the table in his chair was Raph, he was sitting and calmly eating his breakfast and drinking his tea. Raph looked at Leo and gave him a smile and a nod towards his chair, Leo went over and sat down quietly.

Before any of them could say a word, Splinter came into the kitchen and saw them both sitting there calmly, Splinter smiled and said ``good morning my sons'' ``good morning dad, I made a small pot of my tea, so you and Leo can taste it if you want to'' Raph answered calmly, ``thank you, Raphael that sounds good'' Splinter said while pouring himself a cup of tea.

``Good morning father'' Leo said calmly and smiling, ``good morning Leonardo'' Splinter answered him calmly.

``Hmm not bad, Raphael'' Splinter said after he had taken a sip of the tea, ``thank you, dad'' Raph answered calmly, ``wow, this is actually good, but a bit too strong for me'' Leo said surprised, ``I'm glad you like it Leo'' Raph said smiling.

They sat in silence and enjoyed their breakfast, when Donnie came into the kitchen, ``huh, since when are you up before me, Raph?'' Donnie asked surprised, ``morning to you too, Donnie'' Raph said smiling, ``eight months is a long time, but it made it easier to get into a new daily routine'' Raph said calmly.

Donnie was about to make a pot of coffee when Raph said, ``please drink the coffee on the table first, Donnie'' ``huh?'' Donnie answered before turning to look at the table, there in front of his seat was a thermo bottle of coffee waiting for him, ``oh, thank you, Raph'' Donnie said while sitting down next to him, ``no problem Donnie'' Raph said smiling.

Donnie took a sip of the coffee, and realized that it wasn't his usual blend, ``this is not my regular blend'' Donnie said surprised, ``you like it?'' Raph asked a little nervous, ``yes, I like it. It is better and a bit sweeter than my regular blend'' Donnie said calmly with a smile.

``What blend is this?'' Donnie asked before taking another sip, ``it is a blend called *slow morning* from Japan. I thought you might like it, but if you didn't then I would just drink it myself, but I'm glad you like it'' Raph said and gave Donnie a happy smile.

Mikey came into the kitchen all happy and sang ``good morning everyone'' ``good morning my son'' Splinter calmly said in between sips of his tea, ``good morning Mikey'' Donnie and Leo said calmly, ``morning Mikey'' Raph said calmly in between bites.

``Mikey breakfast is already on the table'' Leo said firmly, ``oh, okay Leo'' Mikey said while sitting down, ``well I'm done, so I will go wait in the dojo'' Raph said calmly while getting up and taking his plate and cup to the sink.

Raph went into the dojo and started to stretch out, then he saw that Splinter was watching him, and looking like he had something to ask him, ``what is it Sensei?'' Raph calmly asked, ``I was just wondering about what you learned, while you were with the ancient one'' Splinter said thoughtful, ``if you mean the fighting stuff, then I can show you, but not the rest, the rest I can only tell you about'' Raph answered a little nervously, ``sounds good my son'' Splinter said smiling.

``Now let me see what fighting skills you have learned'' Splinter said while putting down his cane, Raph went over to the nearest wall and sat down his weapons, before turning towards his sensei and gave a small bow before saying ``alright as you wish Sensei.''

As they were fighting the others came into the dojo, and sat down and watched them in silence, they saw how focused Raph was, and that his temper didn't get in the way. They noticed that Raph had some new moves and Leo made a note of them, so he wouldn't get surprised by them.

Suddenly Splinter stopped the fight by saying ``yame'' and Raph stopped as soon as he heard it, then the two bowed to each other, before Splinter went over and got his cane and went to sit down at his usual spot.

Splinter paired Raph with Mikey for the first round, and for the second round it was Leo and Donnie. When they were told to begin, everyone but Raph and Mikey seamed nervous about the fight, but to their surprise no matter how much Mikey talked or what he said, Raph didn't lose his temper.

Raph pulled out a new move and ended the fight suddenly, Mikey was lying on the floor with big eyes, trying to find out what happened. ``Yame'' Splinter called and Raph offered his hand to Mikey in order to help him up from the floor, Mikey took the hand and got up from the floor, they went over and sat down by the wall, while Donnie and Leo went out onto the floor to start their fight.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, Raph saw that Mikey was still confused about what happened, he smiled on the inside while watching Leo and Donnie. During the fight Donnie copied the new move, that Raph used to end the fight, and he got Leo down in the floor. Raph smiled proudly at Donnie while Mikey still tried to figure it out.

``Yame'' Splinter called and Donnie offered his hand to Leo, Leo took it and got up, then they went over and sat down next to Raph and Mikey. Splinter came over and told them, that he was proud of Raph for not losing his temper, and proud of Donnie for being able to copy Raph's move that fast. Then he ended the training session with basic katas.

After practice they went and took a shower, before getting to their everyday activities, Leo went over to the meditation corner, Mikey went to the living room to play a video game, Donnie went to the lab to continue his work, while Raph went to his room and got started with the work to chance it.

Raph worked almost day and night on his room until he was done. The first night after he was done, he sneaked into Donnie's room, once inside Donnie's room Raph came over to Donnie's bed, and saw Donnie sleeping.

He leaned down and gave Donnie a tender kiss on the mouth, which made Donnie wake up suddenly, Raph stopped the kiss and asked ``are you mad at me?'' ``a little. I thought you had forgotten me'' Donnie answered sadly, ``I'm sorry, my love. Leo was walking around when I tried to get to you, so I decided to finish my room first, that way I had an excuse for being up late, if he caught me'' Raph whispered close to Donnie's mouth.

Donnie's responds were a sudden kiss on the mouth followed by a sly smile, before he said ``I'll forgive you, if you can make me cum more than three times tonight'' Raph smile and made a deep churr before saying ``deal, my love'' then he got down on top of Donnie, while kissing him tenderly.

The next morning Donnie woke up next to Raph, ``you stayed the night?'' Donnie whispered close to Raph's mouth, ``I know'' Raph said smiling, ``but why?'' Donnie asked confused, ``I am tired of hiding our love, so if they catch us, they catch us, I don't care anymore, I want them to know, so I can kiss you without having to worry if they see it or not. I love you, Donnie'' Raph answered calmly, ``then we will need to tell them today, it is better to get it over with'' Donnie said with a small smile, ``agree'' Raph said before kissing Donnie on the mouth.

They got out of bed and went to the bathroom and took a shower, before going to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Once in the kitchen they found as always Splinter and Leo already there. ``Morning my sons'' Splinter calmly said with a smile, ``morning dad'' they answered together, ``morning Leo'' Donnie said while sitting down at the table, ``morning Donnie'' Leo answered with a smile, ``morning Raph'' Leo said calmly, ``morning Leo'' Raph answered calmly while making a pot of coffee.

Raph made breakfast for himself and Donnie, before he sat down and started to eat with them. They were eating in silence when Mikey came in, and sang ``good morning everyone'' everyone answered as they always did. As always Mikey talked while eating his breakfast, but this time Raph finish his breakfast before them, and got up and sat his cup and plate down by the sink, before going into the dojo.

``Dad, Raph and I have something we need to talk about with the whole family, so we will wait in the dojo for you. We need to talk about this before morning practice, if that is okay with you?'' Donnie said as calmly as he could manage, ``sounds like a good idea, my son'' Splinter answered calmly, Mikey and Leo were looking surprised at Donnie, but said nothing.

Donnie got up and went into the dojo, ``hey, I told them we need to talk before practice'' Donnie said worried, ``good. Hey it will be okay'' Raph said while holding Donnie's hands in his own. They sat down next to each other, and waited for the rest to come join them. Once everyone was seated in the dojo, ``you start'' Splinter said calmly, ``thank you, dad'' Donnie said nervously.

Raph saw how nervous Donnie was and took over for him, ``Donnie and I are in love with each other, and we have been together for almost eighteen months now. We need you to know because we are tired of hiding it from you, and that is it'' Raph calmly explain to them, ``hmm, I see and you agree with Raphael, Donatello?'' Splinter said calmly, ``yes, I agree with him, dad'' Donnie calmly said.

``Very well, then that is the way it is. I'm glad that you both have proven, that you can focus in a fight, even before Raphael left to train with the ancient one'' Splinter said smiling, ``thank you, dad'' Raph and Donnie answered together with a smile.

``Speaking of love. Mikey and I are also in love with each other'' Leo calmly said while looking at Splinter, ``yes, and we have been together for almost eight months now'' Mikey said smiling, ``hmm I see. Well I am glad that you are telling me this my sons, and I am very happy for all of you'' Splinter said smiling happily.

``Time to practice, we will start with the basic katas'' Splinter said while standing up, they followed their sensei and got started with practice. After practice they took a shower and got started with their usual things. Everything seemed to go well, even when Mikey tried on purpose to make Raph mad at him, they all thought that Raph would lose it, but instead he went to his room and closed the door behind him, which left Mikey confused.

In his room Raph went over to the punching bag, and started hitting it while cursing his younger brother's behavior. When he was done, he went over to his meditation corner, turned on a candle and sat down and started to meditate in peace. This was one of the new methods, that the ancient one had taught him to use instead of hurting Mikey. Raph had found out that he liked using this method, because it didn't leave him with regret afterwards, which he always hated.

After he had clamed down completely, he left his room and went to Donnie's lab, and found him there working on something to sell in April's store. Raph went over behind him and gently gave him a kiss on the shoulder, ``I need you, my love'' Raph said gently in a deep voice next to Donnie's ear, Donnie's responds was a loud churr. Raph took the screwdriver out of Donnie's hand and pulled him gently out of his chair, and after him out of the lab and all the way into Donnie's bed room, where he closed and locked the door after them.

Mikey saw them go into Donnie's room, and got the same idea about Leo, so he left his game to look for Leo, when he found him meditating, Mikey just couldn't help it, he crawled on all four over to him, until he was close enough to give him a kiss on the mouth. Leo had noticed him come in and come closer, but the kiss surprised him, ``Mikey, I'm trying to meditate here'' Leo said calmly, ``I know, but I need you now'' Mikey begged before giving another kiss, ``dad is out for his walk, and Raphie and Donnie are in Donnie's room, so don't tell me you don't want to take this opportunity to have a little fun with me'' Mikey said while pulling Leo down on top of him, ``you win'' Leo said smiling big.

Laying on the floor in the dojo holding each other, ``hey, do you love Raphie and Donnie too?'' Mikey asked curiously, ``why do you ask?'' Leo answered calmly, ``well I was thinking, that maybe we could all be together, so do you love them too?'' Mikey said gently, ``yes I do, but what if they don't like this idea?'' Leo answered with concern, ``we should start by asking them of course'' Mikey said smiling, ``then let's ask them tonight'' Leo said calmly but firmly, ``okay'' Mikey answered before giving Leo a kiss on the mouth.

The rest of the day went by without any problems, with the brothers doing each their things, except for meals and practice. When it became night time, the four brothers meet in Leo's bedroom with each their futon. Mikey had gotten them all to agree to a slumber party in Leo's room.

Now that they all were in the same room, and were sitting on their futons, Mikey said slowly ``so the real reason for this slumber party is, that Leo and I have something to ask the two of you'' Raph and Donnie looked at each other with surprise for a moment, before Donnie answered ``okay Mikey. What is it?'' ``we wanted to know if the two of you would be willing to, maybe be with us, so that we all four are together as one couple, sorta speak, but only if the both of you want to'' Leo calmly explained while holding Mikey's hand.

``You want the four of us to be one couple?'' Raph asked slowly, ``right now it is only to talk about it, not anything else, I promise Raph'' Leo said gently as to not make Raph mad, ``so how exactly do you think this would work?'' Donnie asked confused, ``yes, like do we only have sex in a group or what? And what if I only want to be one of you, is that then allowed?'' Raph asked confused, ``well I think that to begin with, it would be best to only have sex in a group, just until we have gotten use to being together like that, and then we can start to have sex out side of the group. Besides I don't think we all have the same kinks, so if we can wait with them until after the group period, then that would be great'' Mikey explained calmly with a smile.

``What if I have something, that I would like to try with all of you?'' Donnie asked calmly while blushing, ``so hold on, you two are onboard with this?'' Leo asked confused, Donnie and Raph looked at each other and smiled at each other, before turning their heads back to them and said together ``yes'' ``yay, then it is settled then'' Mikey sang while giving Leo a hug and Leo smiled in return. ``Alright so the first week we will only be sleeping in the same room, before we begin with the more intimate stuff'' Leo explained to everyone. They all agreed with him and went to bed.

After the first week was over, they were all in bed together again, but this time kissing was involved, and none of them knew how they would react to this, therefor they were all nervous as they were sitting in a circle face to face. Mikey was the one to move his head forward first into the center, then Raph took a deep breath and did the same, and they began to kiss slowly. When the kiss broke, they sat back up, and looked at each other with an awkward smile on both their faces.

They took a look at their partners, ``you alright?'' Raph asked Donnie gently, ``yes, it's a little awkward, but I don't mind it'' Donnie answered smiling, Raph gave Donnie a kiss in responds. ``How about you Leo?'' Mikey asked calmly, ``a little awkward, but not bad'' Leo answered calmly with a smile. The rest of the night went with them kissing each other, back and forth between them all, until they fell asleep together.

After almost two months of getting use to each other in bed, the awkwardness had gone away completely, and they were now fully enjoying each other.

...............................................

One day April came to the lair, ``hey guys'' she called out, ``hey April'' they called back, ``what's in the box?'' Mikey asked curiously, ``oh, it came for you. Donnie why didn't you tell me to expect a package for you?'' April asked confused, ``eh? Because I didn't order anything'' Donnie answered confused, ``that would be my package then'' Raph answered while coming over to take the package from her, ``thank you, April'' Raph said while taking the package from her, ``no problem, but what did you order, Raph? It is really heavy'' April asked curiously.

``Oh, just some books'' Raph said calmly, before turning and going to his room calmly, ``books?'' April thought out loud, ``I think he likes to read now, because I caught him reading one of my books'' Donnie explained calmly to them, ``I see, but what does he read? I mean is it history, novels?'' April asked confused, ``I don't know, yet'' Donnie answered calmly, ``we will find out when Raphael is ready to tell us'' Splinter said calmly.

In his room whit the package in hand, Raph closed and locked his door, before going over to his bed and opened the package, and one by one he took out medical books, books on turtle anatomy and books on natural medicine. One by one he put the books away, on the shelves under his bed, before he took one book over to his armchair and started to study.

Raph kept what he was doing a secret for as long as possible, not because he didn't want anybody to know, but because he wasn't ready to share it, and with a curious Mikey, secrets were hard to keep, but he manage to keep this one for almost four months. It was the day when Donnie got hurt, that Raph finally told them, and took care of Donnie's injuries, on his own without a problem. The family had been in disbelief all but Donnie, Donnie blushed and felt kind of honored by Raph's choice of profession.

It took the family some time to get use to having two doctors in the family, but they were happy about it, not only for safety reasons, but also for that Raph had chosen it freely, and he was good at it, plus it seemed to help calm him down. Because of having two doctors, Donnie and Raph had decided to make Donnie the general doctor, and Raph the surgeon doctor.

A few weeks later the power went out, and they didn't know why.
