OKAY I HAD THIS CRAZY 5 MIN DREAM LAST NIGHT ABT ECHO RAPH AND A BABY. CRAZY RIGHT? WANNA KNOWS WHATS EVEN CRAZIER? I WROTE A WHOLE ASS 19 PAGE STORY ABT IT FOR A DAY. I HAVE GONE PLACES.

Anyways here's the story lol. (It's is super long I am not joking) (super unrendered and angsty so read at your own risk)

Raph comes rushing into the lair one night, beaten and out of breath. Holding something making a lot of noise. Of course this wakes everyone up.

"Raph- What the hell-?!" a very drowsy Leo groans.

"Raph. What happened." Deadpans Donnie, straight to the point, as always. Mikey gasps when he sees the scrapes on his brothers body.

"Guys, guys! Give Raph some space! Jeez!" The turtle in question exclaims.

"Red? Is that... a baby?" splinter asks with a surprised look on his face.

Everyone in the room goes silent.

Except for Raph, he still breathing hard, but not dying so it's fine.

Raph lifts part of the dirty blanket holding the baby.

Everyone has their own reaction.

Leo's wasn't the best one.

"Raph!! Why the hell would you bring a baby to the sewers?!?" Leo whisper-yells.

Raph's face turns sullen as he looks a the now sleeping baby in his arms.

"His mother was killed." He says as his brow furrows in sadness.

"Oh no..." Mikey whispers.

"She was on the way home, and some muggers tried to take her purse. Obviously she fought back. But It was already too late when I heard the gunshot." Raph continued.

"What the muggers didn't realize was that she was holding a baby and not a purse. I was... I was so angry!"

A pause.

"I beat them up. Then I took the baby and ran here." Raph finishes.

Everyones face has changed into one of horror and sadness.

Raph sniffles, "I... I didn't know what to do..."

Splinter is the one who speaks up first, "My son..." he holds his arms out and closes the distance between them.

Raph's lip quivers as he kneels down to be hugged by his father.

His brothers join the hug, Raph sobs quietly.

...

Echo creeps into the lair, just to check up on her family. And Raph, especially Raph.

She closes her hand around Raph's, and silently notices the bandages scattered on his body. She breaths in his familiar scent, and looks worriedly at his puffy eyes.

What happened to you? She thinks to herself.

Then they hear the faint sound of crying.

Raph starts to stir, but echo calms him back down, "shh, shh, it's okay baby. I've got it, go back to sleep."

He obliges and goes back to sleep.

Echo finds the source of the noise very quickly. And gasps when they realizes what it is.

"A baby..." they whisper.

She carefully picks up the crying child and brings it closer to her chest.

"Shh, shh, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here." She hums as she gazes into its soft green eyes.

The baby calms down a little, and Echo realizes it might be hungry. So she makes her way over to the kitchen to find some formula.

She soon returns to the crib she found the baby at, and thinking to herself wow that was easy, must've been a plot convenient time skip.

She shifted their weight from foot to foot in a swaying motion as the baby drank the formula. She gazed at its eyes once more, as their eyelids drooped closed.

"What are you doing."

Echo jumped at the accusation. She turned to look at Donnie.

"Oh Donnie, it's you" she said with a sigh of relief

"You didn't answer my question."

"Oh. right, right, right, sorry" Echo waves her open hand In a 'whoops my mistake' kind of gesture, "I just wanted to check on you guys"

"And Raph?"

"yeah, and Raph." Echo blushes.

The two of them stood in silence, the third was still drinking from their bottle.

"What happened?" Echo asks after a long enough minute.

Donnie looks away from echo for a moment then answerers her question.

"I'll let Raph explain it to you."

Echo turns around and looks at their bandaged and bruised boyfriend, staring back at her with an slightly open mouth.

They both stay like that, staring, each having their own reaction to the sight of one another.

Raph is the one to speak up first, "you look beautiful."

"And thats my cue to leave" Donnie turns on his heel and quicky heads back towards his lab.

Echo exhales through their nose and rolls her eyes. This gets a chuckle out of Raph.

"So, about the baby," Raph starts.

"Ohh yes about the baby, you better start explaining yourself mister Red Angel of Preventing Harm." Echo says sarcastically.

Raph brings the hastily made crib over to the couch so both turtles can watch the child but still talk. Echo lays the now sleeping baby down in the crib.

Once Raph and Echo sit down, Echo's expectant eyes stare deeply into Raph's waiting for an explanation.

"So I was on patrol-" Raph starts.

Jokes aside, Raph thoroughly explained the baby's story, and by the end of it Echo was being held by their partner as she stared at the baby with a newly found sorrow.

"That's what happened?" Echo croaked softly.

"Yeah..." Raph was involuntarily rubbing Echo's shoulder as a way of comforting both echo and himself.

Raph stayed silent as Echo was processing the new information he gave her.

"Are you guys keeping her?" Echo asked softly.

Raph's throat made a rumbling sound, "No, Donnie says she wouldn't be safe if she stayed with us."

Echo pressed closer to Raph's body, and squeezed his bicep has she turned her head away from the crib.

"I know, I know, baby" Raph solemnly soothes.

"I... why..." Echo didn't have the right words to express how she felt, so all she could do was cry into her boyfriend's bandaged bicep.

Raph pulls her closer to his body, so no one would see her weakness sadness.

...

They don't know how long they've been up talking untill Mikey walks into the room.

"Oh, you guys are up early" Mikey says, surprised.

Raph whips his head around to look at his younger brother, "it's morning already?!?" He exclaimes.

Echo and Raph were previously watching the baby and letting her explore Echo's various scars and markings. Enjoying the little baby noises she makes sometimes.

The baby squeals, mimicking Raph's outburst.

"And you too!" Mikey coos, walking over to the couch to play with the baby's fingers.

Mikey looks back at the two older turtles and asks, "long night?"

"Didn't feel like it" Echo replies with a weak shrug.

Mikey does a double take as his eyes land on the dark circles surrounding his siblings eyes.

"Uh huh, and I have three arms" Mikey says sarcastically.

Raph snorts.

"But seriously, you guys need sleep." He deadpans.

"Ok ok we will, Mr. Wakes up at ungodly hours of the morning" Raph shoots back.

Mikey sticks out his tounge and picks up the baby and walks away.

Echo tilts their head back and stares drowsily at Raph's eyes. Raph looks down to stare at hers in turn.

"Yeah we do need sleep." Echo chuckles and starts to get up when Raph stops them.

"Ah ah ah, you need more sleep than I do. Please, allow me, my queen." Raph humbles.

Echo giggles, "Pip pip good knight"

They both giggle at their sleepy roleplay. Mikey smiles and rolls his eyes in the other room.

Raph carries his larger partner to his room and jokingly drops her on his bed. Echo exclaimes joyfully as her boyfriend playfully growls and crawls into bed.

"What a terrible knight! 0 out of 5 stars" Echo exclaims in a posh accent.

"Well, perhaps my lady needed a different kind of service" Raph replies in a similar accent.

"And what kind of service is that?" Echo questions.

"The best kind" Raph smiles and churrs into her plastron.

Echo churrs back in response, sleep overtaking her eyelids.

"Mmmmh yes, the best kind..." Echo trails off.

They both fall asleep in each other's arms. cheesy, yes I know, but it's cute and I like it so there.

*The end*

Oh you made it to the end? Good for you buddy, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. (Lol thanks fr sticking w/ it)
