Don was on the deck, holding on to the railing that kept him away from the ocean's waves.
I feel bad for you.
'SHUT UP! That was two weeks ago, why do you still feel bad?'
It was like hell for you. No one in that place cared.
Don looked at the horizon, seeing the sun lightly touching the water.
I'm guessing that was the same day when you were in that room. When Hoshi told you that you weren't a monster.
Takashi didn't answer.
I guess I'm right.
'Don, that's not the wrist thing about that day. And you might know why.'
Don was thinking about Takashi for a minute, then he got it.
When Hoshi died. But that memory didn't show Hoshi prignet.
'Look again.'
The memory of Hoshi. She was closing the door. Don looked close at her stomach. He saw her big belly.
She must have been seven months prignet.
Takashi staied quiet.
Then Don felt like something was caught in his throat, and felt slightly teary eyed.
Is the same thing going to happen to me. April is prignet and...the Foot are after me. They are going to kill her. They are...I shouldn't have been in her apartment that night.
Don turned his back to the ocean and sat down, while hugging his legs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was pitch black, but being part Takashi, Don could see almost as clear as day.
Then there was a bang. Don looked up and saw Kati walking over with a flash light.
"Don, you are killing me. Why are you out here in the cold and crying?"
She sat down by Don, leaning on the railing and staring at Don.
"Aren't you even hungry?"
Don gave her a death stare.
"Really? If I were about to die of hunger everyone will no longer be breathing fresh air."
Kati frowned and turned off the flash light. That was when Don realized she wasn't wearing her bracelet.
"Why aren't you a mutant right now?"
Kati's muscles stiffened.
That's not weird.
"Kati."
Kati stood up and started walking, but Don triped her stood up, and caught her before she hit her face on the wood floor.
Don starred at her eyes.
"What are you hiding?"
"I...I can't."
She tried to get her wrist out if Don's grip, but he was to strong.
"Let me go!"
"Not until you tell me that your trying keep from me."
The out of no where, Kati kissed Don hard on the lips. This made Don let go of Kati. But the funny thing was, Don was kissing back.
When they pulled apart Kati run up the stairs that lead to the Captains corters.
Don stood there for a while, with a blank face.
'WHY THE HELL DID YOU KISS BACK YOU DUMB *SS!'
Then Don smiled and felt warm inside.
"I don't know?"
'STOP SMILING YOU B*STERED!'
Don tried but that only made the smile go bigger.
'What's wrong with you? What happened with you and April?'
"I just always wanted to kiss Kati when we were boyfriend and girlfriend."
'Well your wish has been delivered. JUST DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!'
Your so bossy.
'I hate you.'
Then Don's smile slowly went away as he walked up the stairs.
"Wait, what if Raph finds out."
"Find out about what?"
Raph walked out of the Captains head corters and was standing in front of Don.
F* ck!
'Way to go smart *as.'
"Nothing."
"Don't play dumb on me. You said 'what if Raph finds out."
"Oh, I think that was Takashi you heard."
'What!'
Raph's arm's tensed up.
"Are you really telling me that that thing took over. Is that the the thing not to tell me about."
"Let me check."
Isn't that the reason Takashi.
Takashi did a chuckle.
'Yes that is.'
"He said that is the reason."
Then Raph swung a punch at Don's head but he dodged. Then Don pushed Raph down the stairs and walked into the Captain's head corters and locked the door behind him.
Don smiled.
'Can we do that again. I never had that much fun doing something like that to somebody.'
Sure, who next.
'Mikey.'
Don's smiled disappeared.
"No, not Mikey."
'Why?'
"I caused him to much pain as it is. And he's different, he's more like what Leo used to be. Serious and doesn't mess around when there's work to be done. The opposite of what he used to be."
The Don remembered Mikey making jokes when they were on a mission.
Then a tear rolled down his face.
"I miss that old Mikey."
Then there was banging at the door.
"Don, April's water broke!"yelled Kati.
"What!"
Don turned around and riped the door off its hinges.
"Where is she!"
"In the kitchen."
Kati said as she starred at the broken door.
Don dropped the door and jumped down the stairs, but something caught his eye. He looked up at the ocean and saw the waves getting bigger and saw lightning.
"That's not could."
Don walked on to the kitchen, keeping his eyes glued on the storm.
After a while Don looked away and opened the door to the kitchen.
Mikey was holding April's hand. She was lieing on the floor, groaning in pain.
"What took you so long?"
April screamed at Don.
"Nothing. Mikey look outside and deal with it."
Mikey did what Don said as Don went to April.
"You pick the best times you know that!"
"I'm sorry but its not my chose!"
Then Don felt the ship tilt to the right, and then the lights flickered.
"What the hell was that!"
"Nothing."
Then Don started pulling down April's pants.
"Wait, stop!"
Don looked at April.
"You want the baby out or not."
"I want it out but..."
"Okay then."
Don pulled off her pants and under wear.
Then the ship jerked to the right. The table almost tiled over.
"Don what's going on!"
Shit! This is really getting bad.
"Nothing, just grab something. And push."
"Fine don't tell me basterd."
Then April started to push, groaning as she clenched her teeth together.
"Donnie, do you see anything yet?"
"No. Keep going."
Then a big boom echoed the air, as the the sound ringed in Don's ears, making them burn like a wild fire. Don clenched his teeth and closed his eyes until the sound died.
F*ck.
That was when the ship violently jerked left. Don flow to a wall, and caught April before she could land on him. The cabinets swung open, making plastic cups and paper plates flying out. Some of the lights went out and some flickering nonstop.
"You okay."
"NO DON I'M NOT OKAY, THIS BABY IS KILLING ME!"
"Okay lay down."
April lied down and started to push, this time Don could see a head poking out.
"I see a head. Now some of the torso."
Don put his head under the babies head and his other hand under the delicate body.
Don smiled then looked at April.
"Its a girl."
April smiled, but all of a sudden she screamed.
"What, another one!"
"D*mn these things!"
Don looked around and just gave the baby to April.
Then he saw a head and a torso piping out.
He quickly but his hands under the head and body.
"It's a boy."
April sat up and started to cry.
"Their so beautiful."
Then the door swung open. Rain started pouring inside. It was Emily.
"Don you need to get out here now!"
Don stood up and gave her the baby boy.
"Stay with her."
Emily looked nevise as she sat down with April.
Don closed the door and turned around to see the monster waves.
"Oh my."
Don ran to the deck and up to the Captains corters. When he swung the door open he saw Leo and Raph at the steering wheel as Kati tries to find their cordnets. Sarah was in the corner looking sea sick.
"What do you need me for?"
"Oh let just say that we are lost and want to get out of here!"
Don ran to the compass that was by the steering wheel.
"Turn right."
Then Don went to a control panel to see if the mortar was over heating from them going up the gigantic waves.
Still in green, good.
Next Don went to the map.
"Kati, where were we before we got lost."
"Around here, not that far from California."
"Okay, that means the storm should lighten soon."
Don ran to the windows see that the waves settled down and the rain lightened.
Leo letted go of the wheel and walked out the room.
Don looked back at Sarah.
"You okay."
"Shut up."groaned Sarah.
Don smiled.
"Was that fun."
Kati smiled right back, which made Raph leave. Sarah ran after him.
Then Don's smile went away.
"What is it?"
"I'm going to have a big welcome party."
Kati's smile went away as she looked out the windows.
"F*ck."
