I Like It Loud

~~~Chapter Nine~~~

"You're perfect just the way you are."

As I rubbed Raph's head I head a knock on the door, "Who is it?" Raph says as he groans. "Hey Raph is Phoenix in there?" It was April. "Yeah she is, come on in." He says. She opens up the door and looks at me. "What's up sis?" I say looking at her as Raph lays his head back on my chest. "Did you see the 4 men in the living room?" "That must be Leo, Mikey, Donnie, and Master Splinter."

"That can't be." Raph sat up and looked at her, "It is. Donnie made us a watch to turn us to look human." He says turning the watch. Raph looked human again. "See." He smiles. She didn't say anything and walked out of the room. I kiss his muscular shoulder and smile. "We better head out if we want dinner." I say. I stand up and he grabs my waist and bites his lip.

I kiss his lips and they felt soft. Pulling back he smiles at me. "Let's go get something to eat then we can do something." I say rubbing his cheek. He smiles at me and we leave his room. As I looked at everyone I watched Donnie rub Aprils stomach. I smile a broken smile. Raph rubs my shoulder and says, "Phoenix you alright?" I look up at him and say, "Yeah I'm fine." I say as I rub my arm. We all start to head to the surface.

When we got up there the boys looked around and smiled. I take a pained breath and walked to Rioku Diner. When we arrived I opened the door and was greeted by the smell of delicious food and also by Mrs. Rioku and a young man. He had brown eyes, tan skin, black hair, and was tall. "Awe Phoenix i'm so glad you are here with your family too." She smiled. I smiled and said, "Well I'm glad you still remember me, I want you to meet my boyfriend and his family and my sister." She smiled brightly at me then looked at them. 

Master Splinter held out his hand and said, "I'm Mr. Hamato, and these are my sons." He gestured to them, "This is Leonardo, this is Michelangelo, this is Donnie and his girlfriend April O'Neil, and this is Raphael." He said proudly. "Well aren't you boys all grown up. Come, my son will show you to a table." She said as she shuffled with her 'son'. We all followed her son as he led us to a corner boot. We all slide into the seat and I sat by Raph while everyone sat by someone. 

April didn't leave Donnie's side. "Hello I'm Yurishiro Rioku, I'll be taking your order." He said as he starred at Raph and me. I looked at the menu and said, "Kuri Nuddles with a water." I said as everyone else was ordering. I laid my head on Raph's shoulder and I closed my eyes. I felt Raph shift his shoulder and said, "We'll be right back." He grabbed my hand and took me outside. 

"What's wrong?" he says holding my hand. "I told you i'm fine." I said looking away from him. "You're such a bad liar. Tell me what is wrong." I look up at with tear filled eyes. I look in the window to see April and Donnie smiling and Donnie rubs her belly. I look at Raph who was looking at the same thing. "Are you trying to say you want one?" I let the tear roll. "I wish I could and I really want to... But I can't." I look down. 

He puts his hands on each side of my face and lifts it up and he looks at me, "Why can't you?" He wiped the tears away, "You know that scar on my hip?" I look at him to which he nods, "That scar was from a crash I had a long time ago, when I was 14. I had a piece of metal stab me and then when  i got to the hospital and they did surgery, they told me that I wouldn't be able to have a child of my own." I say holding my stomach. 

He looks at me as I look away. He hugs me tightly and says, "Why don't we go eat then we'll spend the rest of the day at the park." He says holding my hands. I look up at him and nod my head. 

"Now cheer up buttercup."
