Relationship headcanons for all bay!turtles?
So this turned more into a 'how did you and the turtle(s) start dating' type of thing, hope that's okay
Bay!Turtles Relationship Headcannons
Leo:
Say hello to 'slow burn' 👋
This boy pines for you
Long stares, strong eye contact and obvious feelings....but this boy is too nervous to ask you out at first
He memorizes any and all details about you whenever he can
He stares....a lot. He just thinks you're so pretty
He really likes your laugh, he'll do almost anything to hear it, but he doesn't like it as much when he isn't the one to make you laugh
The "first move" He ever made was movie night. Since it was October, Mikey picked a horror movie, much to your dismay and protest. You were shaking the whole time and when the villain went to attack the main character, you jumped and buried your face into his shoulder with a mumbled. "Tell me when it's over," His hand gently rubbed up and down your back as you shook in his arms.
Afterwards you sheepishly thanked him, holding his hand for a little bit too long as you were leaving.
From them on you sat by him every movie night. It's kinda your thing™️
If you spend the night he will offer you his room. And no he won't stay in there with you, he's too much of a gentleman with anxiety to do that.
But he likes it because then his pillows smell like you
He's so nervous to be around you when he realizes he's crushing on you. He just wants to touch you. Not in a sexual way, but touching your shoulder when he walks by, hugging you hello and goodbye, snuggling, anything.
He melts when you yank him down for a goodbye hug after one movie night. You tuck your face into his neck and sigh deeply and he knows he's done for
After being friends for a few months you finally get him to stay in his room with you when you're spending the night.
But he's putting all the blankets on the floor...?
"Leo?" You sit up in his bed, peering down at him. "Are you going to sleep on the floor?"
"Where else would I sleep?" He pulls his blanket over his lap.
"In bed."
"With....with you?" He turned a few shades darker. You nod, scooting over and patting the free side.
You can see how he's shaking as he stands and comes over to the side of the bed. He awkwardly sits down, sweat dripping down his face.
"You don't have to, if you're too uncomfortable," You whisper, reaching out to touch his arm.
"I've just worried I'm going to mess this up," He mumbles back, taking your hand in his and running his thumb along your knuckles.
"You're not messing anything up,"
He let down some of his walls and finally decided to open up to you....literally the next morning.
He was too nervous to sleep under the sheets with you so he's laying on all the blankets watching you peacefully snooze.
After a bit you wake up and exchange some "good mornings" and then he just straight up tells you he's got feelings for you
He tells you everything, his first impression of you, how beautiful he thinks you are, how he loves your personality and how he can't imagine himself with anybody else
And you're staring at him with half lidded eyes still trying to wake up. After you come to you confirm your feelings for him as well
He likes it when you watch him during training so he can show off his moves
Movie nights are still your thing™️
Please let him play with your hair, it's all he wants
After a bit (and lots of talking) he's finally comfortable with sleeping under the blankets with you. He uses you as a body pillow <3
He writes you poetry and puts them all around your apartment for you to find when he's not around so you'll always be thinking of him.
Raph:
Say hi "I'm touch starved but am terrified to initiate anything" 👋
Bro is shaking in his boots when he first sees you. You are STUNNING. and way out of his league.
Sure he flirts, and he thinks you're doing it back, but he doesn't believe you'd ever flirt with him
The ball really gets rolling when you stand up for him at a Halloween party. One of Verns stupid rich friends made a comment about his appearance and you came out of knowhere and ripped them new assholes.
Respect 📈📈📈
After that he starts coming to you and just talking. He likes talking to you because you listen. You're engaging in what he's saying and not interrupting him.
He vents a lot to you, he feels kinda guilty about it but it's just so easy to talk to you.
You and him go back and forth bantering for far too long, but things get really interesting when a cop starts to hit on you at another one of Verns parties.
Raph comes up to the creep to tell him to back off. The cop scoffs and continues flirting with you. Raph opens his mouth to tell him to kindly fuck off when...
"Actually, it's been...great....chatting with you but me and my boyfriend have to get going, I have an early morning at work tomorrow,"
Raph's jaw dropped.
Boyfriend. You said boyfriend.
The cop also freezes, allowing you to take Raph's arm and lead him to the door. In a daze he walks you home, even though it's freezing out, he's sweating.
He sheepishly asks why you called him your boyfriend while standing on your apartment roof.
"I hoped it would get that guy to shut up, why? Did it make you uncomfortable? I'm sorry I didn't-" You ramble, turning red.
"It's fine, I'm not uncomfortable," And I want you to call me it again.
"So, it didn't bother you?"
He shakes his head, wiping his sweaty palms on his pants, looking down at your shoes.
"Would you mind....mind if maybe I called you that again?"
"You....you want to call me your boyfriend again so the cop will leave you alone?"
You laugh, one hand touching his forearm and the other tilting his chin to look at you. "I want you to be my boyfriend, Raph"
His heart stopped.
From then on you two and inseparable. He adores the ground you walk on and is always showing off how even though he's not the best looking guy in the room, you chose him.
He knits you things all the time and his heart skips a beat when he sees you wearing them. Especially the mittens, your hands are so cute and small and fit perfectly inside the mittens he made you.
He may not understand your hobbies, but he loves hearing you talk about them
He almost passed out when/if you asked to workout with him. And don't think it'd be all funny sex jokes and stuff. This boy will make you a full workout routine based on your weight/height/strength and what you want to work on, he takes this seriously.
But if you don't workout that's fine too! If you even just sat with him in his workout room he'd be happy.
He laughs his ass off when you sass his brothers or put them in their place (respectfully and within reason)
I don't think he'd be jealous if he saw you hanging out with his brothers. Their always going to be a part of his life and seeing you getting along with them makes him happy. It's the two people he loves most in the world getting along.
Your name in his phone is either "babygirl" or "nice ass" there is no in-between and no it never changes.
Donnie:
Say hi to "I can't tell the difference between romantic and platonic interactions and genuinely have no idea how to flirt or be flirted with" 👋 (yes this is me projecting)
Bro literally can't tell if you're just friendly or have a crush on him.
He knows he's got a crush, he realized it a few nights ago when Mikey was making dinner and you were going to come over and he set up all your favorite plates and got your food all ready and Mikey made a comment.
"Why do you have Y/n's favorite meal memorized?"
Why did he have it memorized?
It was then he started to realize just how many things he knew about you, he unintentionally studied you
He knew which blanket was your favorite, what your favorite kind of shampoo was, and so many other things, he couldn't keep track.
But he felt conflicted, he liked you, but did you like him?
It wasn't until Halloween one year that you finally came clean. You were both hanging out in his lab and he asked what your costume was going to be.
"Well I was hoping to be your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner,"
He stared at you for a solid 30 seconds before it registered in my brain.
"Wait, you like me?"
Say hi to "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm glad you're here 😊" Donnie
Bro has read thousands of blogs/books/posts about relationships, he's watched so many movies and shows about love. But the moment you guys start dating it all goes out the window.
He kinda follows you around like a lost dog for at least a week. He's very nervous he's going to say or do something wrong
His heart melts whenever you hold his hand, whether it be him walking you home or just hanging out in his lab
EVENTUALLY he gets over his nerves and actually initiates stuff (not your first kiss though) he likes kissing your forehead/cheek/nose when you bring him coffee, and he likes when you rub his shoulders and hug him from behind when he's at his computer
He quickly learns his love language is physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation. (Not that you mind, he deserves it all and more)
Your name has a heart in his contacts
He loves matching things, mugs, clothes, necklaces, key chains, anything. Everytime he sees that object he thinks of you and just starts smiling like a fool
Sit 👏 in 👏 his 👏 lap 👏 while 👏 he 👏 works
He makes you a step stool so he doesn't have to bend in half for a kiss. (He doesn't mind but his back does)
Mikey:
He's adored you from the moment he saw you
Even though he's a massive flirt, if he senses you're uncomfortable he will chill out. He doesn't want to make you upset
You can talk to him about anything. I mean everything. This boy is not squeamish and (if you have them) will listen to you talk/rant about your period with no judgement
He's very compassionate and empathetic and often puts others need before his own, so when you actually genuinely ask him if somethings bothering him, he's gonna fall for you hard
You are his best friend and he'd do just about anything for you
But he keeps chickening out every time he goes to ask you out cause he's terrified you'll reject him 🥺
With him I feel like he'd finally confess his feelings during a family game night if yall end up playing spin the bottle or 7 minutes in heaven.
As per the rules of romance Mikey's bottle lands on you and now he's sweating buckets with you in his unekpt closet.
He starts rambling, not meeting your eyes, talking about everything from the shirt you're sitting on to the weather.
You find it endearing that he has no idea how into him you are, you're a bit bummed cause the timer on your phone is about to go off, but you let him get all his rambles out. Just as there's one minute left, you place your hand on his bicep, leaning in you place a quick peck on his lips with a whispered "Maybe next time," before leaving the closet and rejoing the family.
He doesn't sleep that night.
He calls you the next day, pacing around the room, and still rambling
"I...I just don't get why you did it," He runs a hand down the side of his face, chuckling dryly.
"Cause I like you,"
I'm sorry what
"You....you like me? Like like like me?"
"Obviously, dumbass,"
And you've been dating ever since. Your nickname changes on his phone weekly, from your favorite color, to you favorite food or TV show, or a fun new name he made up for you, but they always end in a <3
You 👏 always 👏 cook 👏 together
Cooking is his love language. You don't have to be good at cooking, he wants you to help but he's happy if you just sit on the counter and chat with him
You co-own all his clothes and he has no problem lending you anything (he's missing 5 pairs of underwear and hasn't even batted an eye)
He falls for you a little bit more everyday. Sometimes it's seeing you nap on the couch, or awkwardly answer your phone under your chin while your hands are dirty, or even making small talk with Splinter while he makes his evening tea.
His favorite is when you grab his hand or arm when walking together, especially in public. He likes the stares of people realizing he's got a hot babe like you at his side.

In the rainy day head cannons you wrote you said that donnie would invite you to his shower or bath, would you be open to going into more detail with that in headcannons or a oneshot ?
You got it!
Donnie x Gn!reader
Showering with Donnie
Donnie loves taking long hot showers (or baths) after a tough day. They really relax him and he goes all out every time.
He's got exfoliating brushes and scrubs that smell heavenly together and it's one of the few times he shuts his brain off to just be in the moment.
But when you're there it's even better. He loves washing your hair, it's so soft and strange, he's never felt anything like it.
His heart melts if you ask to use his body wash and scrubes, for you it's probably cause it's the only thing in the shower to wash yourself with, but to him it means you want to smell like him :)
The best way to describe what y'all talk about in the shower is pillow talk. He asks about your day, what your favorite flavor of pop tart is, what your favorite brand of shampoo is, everything.
He likes standing with your back to the water with his arms around your waist holding you close <3
But if yall are in the bath....he turns into an octopus.
They got a big ass tub in the lair and he can (just about) fit in it. You're sitting in between his legs (yes they are slightly wrapped around your own with his knees bent) and his arms around your chest and waist holding you to his chest.
And no, you cannot move.
No matter where you are, he likes nuzzling and kissing your shoulders and neck.
But if you lean over and kiss the juncture of his neck
Heart rate 📈📈📈📈📈📈
Be prepared if you ask him about his mental health, he will ramble and ramble. He feels so relaxed and for a few moments all his walls come down and he can finally phrase all the stuff thats running around in his brain.
After you get out, he has all the skin care products someone could own. You don't have to do them with him but he adores the idea of doing face masks together.
You have matching bathrobes :)
Let 👏 him 👏 do 👏 your 👏 hair
Brushing it, putting leave-in-conditioner, or moose or any kind of cream he is 100% on board and will do anything and everything you ask.
He's also pretty good at braiding, he's got the messy bun look down
He melts like putty in your arms if you rub lotion on his face or if you have those face roller thingys.
Donnie really likes being pampered and has no problem returning the favor :)

TMNT Stocking Stuffers
This could be taken as completely platonic or you could be dating one of them, or maybe even all of them!
Bay!Turtles x Gn!reader
Gathered 'round the TV
Word Count: 1.1k
Warnings: spelling mistakes, like 2 swear words, good family moments,
Summary: you find out Raph has never seen the 'Santa Clause' movies
Tumblr media
It was early December, a thick layer of snow covered anything it could stick its claws into. It was freezing and if you wanted to keep your fingers and toes you had to wear a minimum of three layers when leaving your apartment.
Living in the sewers had its problems, but the middle of a very cold winter was always the worst. With help from Donnie, April and Casey, a heater had been placed in each and every room.
It was nearly impossible for these boys to retain any heat so they were bundled as tight as they could manage. You were used as a personal heating blanket everytime you came over: not that you minded extra turtle cuddles.
But tonight was different. You were sitting pressed into Mikeys side, a thick blanket wrapped around your laps, cups of hot cocoa in both your hands.
"What. Did. You. Just. Say?" You drawl, scowling over into the kitchen, ignoring how Mikey shrunk down to avoid your gaze.
Raph sighed, moving into the kitchen doorway, leaning on his side and crossing his arms. "I don't get what the fuss is,"
"Say. It." You ignored how Donnie and Leo chuckled quietly from the other couch.
"I don't like the Santa Clause movies,"
You gasp, pointing an angry finger at him, sitting up more, leaning against the back of the couch. "That's blasphemous, you'd get burned at the stake for saying that to my family,"
Leo and Donnie fully chuckled at that, almost choking on their own drinks. To avoid you spilling yours, Mikey gently took your cup and set in on the coffee table, not bothering to hide his grin.
Raph scoffed, rolling his eyes with a large grin and turning back into the kitchen.
"What about it don't you like?"
Raph answered from the kitchen, standing -conveniently- out of your eyesight, you heard him moving around, getting some kind of dish and a few snacks. "I just get bored, the CGI was so bad I never finished it-"
"You've never watched it all the way through?!" You interrupt, hitting Mikeys shoulder when he covered his mouth with his fist to keep from laughing too loud.
"You know what, no, no," You shake your head, turning back to face the coffee table, getting out from under the blanket to snatch the remote from Leo's lap.
"Hey!" He wanted to be upset, but he was really intrigued to see what you were going to do.
"I'm putting it on, and we're all going to watch it and you're going to change your mind!" Sitting back down next to Mikey, you flick through the streaming services until you find Disney+.
"I'm not watching the movie," Raph laughs back from the kitchen, still out of eyesight.
"Yes you are,"
"Listen, I've tried, but I-" He tried to argue, failing to hide the amusement in his voice.
"Raphael get your ass in here and watch this movie with us!" You turn your head and gasp. At that exact moment, Splinter had wandered out of his room with an empty mug, he paused by the doorway with his eyebrows raised.
Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what he would do.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to swear," You quickly blurt out, hand covering your mouth. It was a 'rule' in the lair to not swear in Splinters presence, he found it a bit rude and disrespectful and asked to keep it to a minimum when he was around.
Raph peered out of the kitchen, holding a plate of cookies and a few candy canes.
Splinter sighed, glancing at Raph. "I believe you should listen to them, lest you wish to, how do you say, get knocked on your ass,"
Donnie had taken a sip of his hot cocoa and laughed right into the mug, getting it all over his lap and on his glasses. Leo's jaw dropped and he covered his mouth, praying he didn't laugh.
Splinter smiled at Raph, patting his shoulder as he walked last him to refill his mug. Raph shook his head, sighing and sitting down in his arm chair by Mikeys side.
"You're gonna watch it," You pointed a finger at him. "And you're gonna like it,"
"Yeah, yeah," He rolled his eyes, shoving a whole sugar cookie into his mouth.
❤💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚
The end credits rolled, taking the remote you paused it, turning dramatically to Raph.
"Well?"
Raph scoffed, raising a hand out of his blanket to scratch his chin. "It was a movie,"
"Don't play that game," You felt Donnie start laughing beside you: during a break in the middle of the movie, he and Mikey switched spots. "What did you think of it?"
Raph rolled his eyes, throwing his head back against his chair. "CGI is still bad,"
"It's what makes it charming," You press, elbowing Donnie in the ribs. "What else?"
"What is this NCIS? What's with all the questions?"
"It's not fair of you to make that joke since you haven't watched that show either-" Donnie mused, head flying back as Raph threw a pillow at his face.
"Alright, you want my honest review?" Raph ran a hand down his face.
"Yes,"
"I think you're annoying, and too obsessed with Christmas,"
"That's it!" You stood, lunging toward him, but Donnie wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you back down onto the couch.
"Calm down, Killer," Donnie mumbled, barely straining to keep his arm around you.
"You're gonna get it," You glare at Raph, tapping Donnie's arm to let you go, he does and you slump back against the couch, arms crossed.
"Oh, I'm so scared of a 5'2 firecracker,"
Leo and Donnie jumped up this time to stop you from pouncing.
❤💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚
A few days later you were coming down to the lair with a handful of different flavors of candy canes to try with Mikey.
He kept sending you tiktoks and links to crazy and disturbing flavors and you had -somehow- found most of them.
Stomping the snow off your boots and switching them for the slippers you kept there, you set out to look for the guys.
"Guys?" You call, the living room was empty and peering into the dojo, you see Mikey, Leo and Splinter meditating. You quietly, close the door and leave them.
Setting the candy canes down in the kitchen you head to Donnie's lab, excited to tell him that you found coffee flavored candy canes (I'm sorry I don't think these exist, sorry for getting your hopes up)
As you walk down the hall, you pass by Raphs room, hearing something playing and noticing the door was ajar.
Opening it a little further you see him laying on his side taking a nap, he's facing you, phone in hand playing a movie.
You smile, walking into the room and pulling his blanket up to cover his shoulder, glancing at his phone you see 'The Santa Clause' playing.
Standing up, you smile even wider. "I am so going to use this against you,"
❤💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚

AHHH! YAY! I'm so happy to see that you're back taking requests. I saw your kissing prompt and I was so happy even though I'm sick as all get out right now.
But! I finally have the ability to request an ask.
- Rise Mikey, aged up -
Kissing to prove a point
Mikey has been crushing on fem!reader and has been wanting to show her that he does care for her. But she constantly brushes it off as simple flirting and nothing serious. It's gotten to the point that even Leo has to tease his little brother that he can't win the girl over. It's only when Mikey has made a whole date for them (again, reader thinks its more of him being nice). He gets fed up and kisses her to prove his point that he wants a serious relationship with her and reassure her that its no game or gimmick. He is Dr. Feelings after all 😉
Sorry for the long schpeal...(probably spelled that wrong) 😅
Love ya lots, friend!
YES
I love all of this
I hope you feel better soon, friend! Sending lots of love <3
All parties involved are ADULTS (probably early to mid twenties)
Rise!Mikey x Fem!reader
The Doctor Will See You Now
Warnings: friends to lovers, denial of feelings, brief angst, turtle smootching, all around mikey cuteness, spelling mistakes,
Tumblr media
Mikey was not one to lose his temper.
It was a fact he was proud of. Complete and total control of his emotions and feelings. Being an empath, he learned this skill very early on. He'd never lost his temper... but if he was forced to watch you deny his feelings again, he was going to lose it.
You had convinced yourself that he was just flirting, just playful banter between the two of you.
You punched his shoulder with a laugh, falling back onto the couch cushions. "Nice one, Mike,"
Oh, he was so close to losing it. How could you not see he was serious?
Sure, you'd known him through his flirty teenage years, but he'd grown up since then. He'd watched you date horrible men and women and watch and wait patiently for his turn to tell you how he feels.
But you always shut him down. He positive it isn't him, surely he's done everything right, hadn't he?
"Anyway, I can't come over for dinner and a movie tomorrow, I have plans," You say, laying your feet over his lap.
"Oh, did your professor finally reschedule that test for you?" He gently started to massage your calves. You worked so hard all day long and barely had any time to rest. You were go, go, go all the time.
"No, I have a date,"
Well, if that wasn't just a punch in the face.
"A date?" He was past the point of trying to hide his disappointment.
"Yeah, he's the cute guy I see at that new coffee shop on the corner," You don't meet his eyes, looking at the TV playing some random show.
Mikey simply rolled his eyes. He didn't have it in him to argue with you, not tonight.
The next night, Mikey sat in the kitchen, stirring a bowl of steaming ramen soup. He felt down, looking sadly into the plastic cup.
A bright blue portal opened up and Leo stumbled in, resting his sword on the counter before acknowledging his brother.
"You alright there?"
Mikey sighed, not looking up. "Yeah, just a little bummed, is all,"
"It's about Y/n's date, right?" Leo asked. Mikey nodded, eating a large bite of noodles. "If you would just tell them-"
"There hasn't been a chance!" Mikey interrupted, dropping his chopsticks and turning to his older brother.
"Yes, there has. You're just too scared to see it," Leo pulled out a chair, flipping it around and sitting with his arms over the back.
"I'm not scared, Leo,"
"Then why aren't you stopping her date right now? Why are you here sulking instead of doing something about it?"
He hated it when Leo was right about this kind of thing. Mikey simply sighed, picking up his chopsticks and finishing the soup.
His phone buzzed in his pocket, rolling his eyes he pulled it out to see your name. He gasped softly, quickly opening your chat.
"Who is it?" Leo asked around a bite of pizza. When had he gotten up to get that? No matter.
"It's Y/n," Mikey said, reading your text.
"Coffee shop guy blew me off. Wanna get some food and hang out on the roof?"
"Y/n's date stood her up," Mikey said, not looking away from his phone.
"Then go!" Leo practically yelled. "What are you waiting here for! Go get her!"
Mikey smiled, standing from his chair and sending a reply.
"I have a better idea,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You stood shell shocked on your roof, looking at the blankets, fairy lights and projector set up in the beautifully lit night sky.
"Mikey-" You start, covering your mouth with your hands.
"What do you think?" He had put on a nice button down shirt and pants, his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
"You didn't have to do this just to make me feel better, Mikey," You smile at him, taking a step forward.
"I didn't do it because I pity you, y/n," His arms dropped, his shoulders falling.
"Mike-"
"I did it because you deserve it!" Mikey shouted, finally loosing his temper. "You are the most amazing person I've ever met, you're smart and funny and you deserve to be with someone who sees you like that! Not some jerk from a coffee shop!"
You stood still, unmoving, just looking at him, brain trying to process his words. "You don't mean that-" You tried to deflect, push him away, there was no way he liked you like that. Not the way you liked him anyway.
He rushed forward, voice still raised. "Why are you fighting me on this?! I don't understand!" Out of shock, you backed up, your back hitting the roofs door.
"Because I'm not good enough for you-" Tears welled in your eyes as you screamed back, but you were cut off by Mikey grabbing your face and smashing his lips to yours.
You melted in his arms, dropping your purse and wrapping them around his middle, signing as his hands tangled in your hair. His lips were soft and smooth, but his kiss was hard and passionate and told you everything you needed to know.
He pulled away, pressing his forehead against yours, refusing to peel himself away from you.
"Mikey, I-"
"I love you," He whispers, cutting your off, panting heavily in your arms. "I'm so in love with you, I have been for years, and I can't handle not being yours, so please, please for the love of pizza supreme say you at least want me too,"
Tears spilled down your face as you met his eyes. "I love you too, Mikey, I want to be yours," He signed in relief, pulling you back in for another hard kiss.
His hands tightened in your hair. It was going to be a long time before he let you go.

💕❣️😢Small angst with bayturtles
Reader is April and Casey's child (they'll be the turtles niece/nephew) and they got into an accident after saving a child from being hit by a car. The reader is gonna be ok but they're slowly recovering.
This is just an excuse to see uncle turtle brothers 😭
I'm not sure if you meant it this way, but I am not killing off April and Casey, they're just very badly injured and in the hospital.
Vern is (somehow) one of the Godfathers and brings the child down to the lair. Also, I'm making the child a toddler, cause I think the boys interacting with a baby is cute.
This isn't really an 'x reader' fic cause I have no idea how to write like the reader is a toddler, so I'm naming the baby Emma (cause it's easy and simple).
Family Matters
Word Count: 2.4k
Warnings: talking about car crashes, crying toddlers, solid uncle moments, spelling mistakes, it jumps around quite a bit, but it's so everyone gets a moment with the baby, if you don’t like babies don’t read it, 
Summary: the turtles take care of their Niece while April and Casey are in the hospital.
Tumblr media
The brothers hadn't gotten up so fast in years. Hearing Donnie's worried cries through the lair as he ran around the lair waking up the others.
It was the longest 24 hours of their lives. Having gotten a call from Vern at 3 AM telling them that April, Casey and their niece, Emma, had gotten into a car crash.
April and Casey were fine but had several broken bones and internal bleeding and had to stay at the hospital for many days. Their niece had a few scratches, but was thankfully alright (thank goodness for her carseat).
They all waited in the living room for Vern to arrive, he had been given temporary guardian-ship and was brining her to stay with the turtles.
"He should've been here by now," Raph grumbled, pacing by the sewer entrance.
"He had to get the car seat in the car, get Emma in the car and grab all her things from April and Casey's apartment-" Leo sighed, sitting on the edge of the couch, leg bouncing.
"Plus, the hospital is also over 30 minutes away, he's probably still on the road," Donnie interrupted, coming out of the kitchen with a granola bar, the first thing he's eaten this morning.
"And he said he'd text us when he got to the manhole cover," Mikey added, sitting next to Leo. "We just....just have to wait,"
"I'm tired of waiting!" Raph threw his hands up. "I'm tired of not knowing anything, we still have no idea what actually happened!"
"My sons," Splinter exited his room, despite his calm voice the brothers knew he was just as worried as them. "We must all take deep breaths, I know this is frightening but we must do this for April and Casey. They need us,"
Raph sighs, lowering his head as Splinter walks up to him. "You're right, I'm sorry, Sensei,"
"You need not apologize, my son, we're all worried," He reaches out a hand and gently sqeezes his arm, offering a warm smile.
Donnie's phone beeped in his pocket, everyone's head snaps toward him. Stuffing the granola bar into his mouth, he yanks his phone out of his pants.
"He's here," His voice is muffled by the granola, everyone jumps from their spots and rushes down the tunnels.
Reaching the manhole cover, Leo climbs up first, lifting the metal and peeking out into the alleyway.
Pushing the manhole cover over, he pulls himself out, seeing Vern standing beside one of the dumpsters. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted. In his arms was a baby carrier.
The others quickly climbed up as well, Donnie ducking down to check on the toddler.
Her eyes and cheeks were red from crying but she was mostly okay, with just a small bruise on her elbow. She squirmed and whined in the carrier.
"Come, let's get back inside and get Vern and the baby something to eat and perhaps a bath," Splinter says.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vern vented to the brothers and Splinter in the kitchen, he didn't know exactly what happened, but it wasn't April or Casey's fault.
They were returning from a visit to Casey's family farmhouse and they pulled to a stop at a red light, but some asshole wasn't looking and drove across the road, smashing the front of his car into theirs.
Mikey felt sweaty and nervous and offered to take Emma and give her a bath. He was thankful they could all tell he was setting overwhelmed and wanted a moment.
Mikey knelt by the side of the tub, watching Emma chew on a small rubber ducky. Squirting a small amount of of shampoo onto his palm, he carefully lathered it in her soft hair.
Covering her eyes, Mikey rinsed out all the soap, grabbing one of the boat toys by the side of the tub and pushing it through the water.
"Is that fun?" He cooed, smiling as her eyes went wide watching the boat float in the water.
"We have fun bath time with Uncle Mikey," Mikey looked at his niece, a wave of sadness coming over him. She looked like April, she had those large inquisitive eyes and little button nose. He was so worried for her, and Casey.
Emma was looking up at him, and started to fuss, kicking her feet and wining.
"Emmy, what's wrong?" Mikey snapped out of his daze, reaching an arm out to rub her back.
She fussed more, starting to move around in the tub.
"You wanna get out?" She whined louder, putting her small hands on the edge of the tub, starting to pull herself up. "Alrightly, let's get out,"
He grabbed her towel from her bag by his side, wrapping it around her shoulders and pulling her hood up.
It was a soft yellow towel with a duck head on the hood. She still squirmed and whined in his arms, face going red, tears starting to fill her eyes.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Mikey bounced her on his side, pulling the plug on the bath, grabbing the rubber duck she was playing with and speaking it. "We're you just really done with your bath?"
"Perhaps, it's not the bath," Splinter peeked into the bathroom, strolling in and standing by Mikeys side.
"What do you mean?"
"Children feed off of emotions," He ran a gentle finger down the side of her plush cheeks, adjusting her hood slightly. "She sensed you were upset and it made her fussy,"
Mikey sighed. "I was thinking about April and Casey. I'm just really worried about them,"
"I know, were all worried, but our jobs right now are to look after little Emma here," Splinter reached his arms out toward her. "Come here little one, let's go get dressed with Grandpa Splints,"
She was still a little fussy, but she'd calmed down feeling how calm Splinter was.
Mikey handed over Emma and her bag of clothes and bath things, watching Splinter take her to his room. He smiled thinking this was how he was when him and his brothers were babies.
Splinter set Emma down on his bed, placing her bag on the floor in front of her. Picking out two pairs of pajamas he held them up for her.
"Which one would you like?" Her small hand grabbed the one in his left hand, covered in little turtles.
"Yes, I like this one too," He smiled, putting her arms and legs into the onesise and zipping her up. "Comfy?"
She babbled softly, reaching her arms up toward him. He leaned down, picking her up and setting her on his hip and bringing her to the kitchen.
"Let's have dinner,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She -surprisingly- ate all her mashed foods and sat without fuss in her high chair, allowing everyone in the lair to take a breather and eat peacefully.
They'd babysat for April and Casey dozens of times, but everytime they knew at the end of the night they'd come back and pick up Emma. Now they had no idea how long she'd stay with them and when April and Casey would be sent home.
Leo and Donnie had dish duty so they cleaned up the plates as Raph and Mikey brought Emma to the living room.
Donnie had set up her playpen, filled with a soft blanket and her favorite toys. Mikey set her down and she immediately crawled around sitting by her blocks.
Mikey and Raph put something on the TV, they're not sure what it is, but it's a distraction as they sprawl across the couches.
After about 30 minutes of them staring blankly at the screen, Emma starts whining. Raph looks over to see her standing in the playpen, hands pressed against the railing, with large teary eyes.
"What's wrong, short stack?" He coos, glancing at Mikey, seeing his younger brother had passed out.
Emma whined loudly, stomping her feet. "Mama,"
Raph sighed, standing and leaning over the playpen. "I know, I miss your momma too,"
He reached down, picking her up and sitting back down on the couch, leaning her against his chest. He gently rubbed her back in hopes to calm her down, but she kept squirming.
"Here," He reached over, pulling a blanket off the side of the couch. "I made this," He wraps it around her body, draping it across his chest and waist. "It's your mom's favorite blanket,"
She squirmed a bit more, but having his hand rubbing her back and the soft blanket that still smelled like her mom's shampoo had her closing her eyes.
"Mama," She whined again, fighting her heavy eyelids.
"Don't worry, Mama's going to come home soon," He leaned down, pressing a kiss to her hairline, hoping he was right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was out for 30 minutes before Donnie emerged from his lab, motioning for the baby. She had crawled off of Raphs lap and found a toy to chew on.
"I'll take her," Donnie offered, crouching down by where Emma was leaning against the couch. She was sitting at Raphs side, biting on a rubber train, still wrapped in the blanket.
Raph and Mikey were passed out, and being such heavy sleepers, Leo and Donnie didn't need to worry about whispering.
"She shouldn't be near chemicals," Leo argued, crossing his arms.
"I'm not working with chemicals, it's all online coding and stuff, I've fully wiped down my lab, there's nothing in there that could hurt her,"
Leo raised an eyebrow ridge.
"Anything that's out right now, obviously there's a lot that could hurt her, but it's all put away," Donnie protested.
"Fine, just watch her this time, that way she won't break anything else," Leo raised his hands in defeat, walking over to the dojo.
"Yay!" Donnie softly cheered, tickling Emma's sides, she giggled, allowing Donnie to pick her up. "I made you something,"
He walked her to his lab, closing the door behind him and taking her over to the side of his desk. He had moved all his boxes and loose wires to the opposite side of the room.
He took her old bouncing swing and hooked it up to the ceiling and side of his desk.
"It's your swing!" He placed her in the holder, her feet just touching the ground, on instinct she started bouncing and jumping.
"Isn't that fun?" He sat in his chair, smiling down at her, she giggled and smiled. "Now you can do that while I work on stuff, and hopefully you won't find another beaker to break," He leaned forward kissing her forehead before turning to his computer.
He tried to type, but his mind was going too fast for his trembling fingers. He started and stopped the same line of code at least fifteen times before he sighed, leaning back in his chair and glancing at Emma.
She was still bouncing without a care in the world, glancing around at all the blinking lights and machines that hummed and buzzed around his computer.
"Maybe, we need a break," He stood, taking her out of the swing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leo breathed in deeply, eyes closed, back straight (or as straight as he could get it with a shell) and tried to distract his thoughts.
He'd been meditating practically all day, trying to get the swarming uneasy feeling of dread out of his system. But today his thoughts wouldn't stop and sitting alone in the quiet wasn't helping.
"I think uncle Leo needs a hug, what do you think?" Came a voice from the doorway.
Leo smiled, peering over his shoulder to see Donnie helping Emma walk into the dojo. He was practically bent in half, holding onto her little hands as she walked in between his legs.
"Hi, Emmy," He turned toward them, holding out his arms. Donnie stopped about five feet away and crouched down, letting go of her hands and gently pushing her forward.
She giggled, stepping toward Leo, she was wobbly and leaning a bit far to the left but happily landed in Leo's arms.
"Look at you!" Leo pecked her cheek, tickling her sides. "She's doing a lot better, her balance needs some work,"
"She gets it from Casey," The brothers laugh for a moment, then it goes quiet. Emma turns around in Leo's arms, sitting down in the spot between his crossed legs.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Donnie mumbles quietly, pulling at his shoelaces, not meeting his brothers eyes.
"I don't know," Leo runs a hand down Emma's head. "Do you?"
"I...I just want them to be okay," Donnie whispers.
"We all do, and Vern said they were alright, the doctors just wanted to monitor them for a few more nights," Leo hated how his voice trembled, he swallowed the growing lump in his throat.
"It still hurts,"
"I'd be worried if it didn't," Leo tried to laugh, but he just shakily exhaled. "I've spent all day in here to try and get rid of the anxiety and nervous thoughts but it hasn't done me any good. Normally I'm good at being alone, but today...."
"Today is hasn't helped?" Donnie supplied, glancing up and seeing Leo nod. "Can I stay in here with you and Emma until she has to go to bed?"
"Yeah, I'd like that,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three days after Vern brought Emma down to the lair, all four brothers were sleeping in the living room, none of them wanting to be alone.
Emma was laying bundled up in a nest of blankets, Raphs arm around her sleeping form.
Raph was having trouble falling asleep and sensed another presence crouching over him and Emma.
"She can sleep by herself, you know, Raphie," A soft voice said, his eyes shot open, body jerking.
"April?...!" He slurred, eyes blurry, leaning close to her. She laughed softly, she had some bandages on her arms and forehead but she was alright.
"I'm here too," Casey chimed in, his arm was in a sling and he had a small shadow of stumble on his chin.
"You're okay!" Raph’s voice woke the others who were just as eager to see them. Everyone stood and wrapped them in tight hugs -being weary of the bandages and wounds.
Emma got woken up by the commotion, whining loudly. April leaned down, picking her up and kissing her plush cheeks.
"It's alright, honey, Mom's here," She held her tightly to her chest, Casey came up behind her and ran his good hand down her face.
"We're all home now,"

Could I have some headcannons of Bayverse! turtles whose s/o does roller derby? Am a derby skater myself so I always think about this :)
That's so cool! I don't do roller Derby so sorry if any of this isn't correct
Bay!Turtles and Roller Derby
They find it so interesting, like it seems simple, but seeing you actually do it is so cool to them
If it's recorded or broadcasted somewhere they will find a way to watch it. They get really into it and start screaming at the TV.
Raph thought it was a bit boring at first. He didn't understand what the big deal was about skating in a circle. Then he saw you doing it and now he's hooked.
(I assume you have to be in somewhat of a good shape to do it since it's very active) so Raph would love to help you with your workouts, whether he has to write up a whole new one for you or help you with the one you've got he's so excited.
Mikey wants to decorate your skates (professional or personal ones he doesn't care) and he likes putting stickers on your helmet and elbow/knee pads.
Donnie low key wants you to teach him how to skate, (yes that's right, YOU teach him something) it's a bit awkward cause he's so long and lanky but he's eager to learn and loves seeing you talk about it
Leo's not a skater, he may have amazing core and leg strength but it's just not his jam. But he adores watching you skate, he likes how focused you get, how hard to try to push yourself, he finds it very impressive.
They will melt a little bit if you put their initial somewhere on your gear. Or if you entire them during an interview. They're going to fall for you so hard.
If they could, Mikey would try to join your team, he likes any and all kinds of skating and with your help he knows he could be awesome at it.
Unfortunately he can't, but Donnie made him some makeshift skates and you take him around downtown and just skate around with him.
Even Splinter finds it super impressive, he often gives you props after your tournaments (he hears all the commotion and listens in when it's on the TV)
He's so proud he even brags about you to others. If the gang gets invited out to one of the polices parties to celebrate the guys and you come up in conversation he gets so excited.
"Oh, Y/n? Yes, aren't they amazing, they do roller Derby you know? Yes, it's quite incredible. I'm very happy to have them as my daughter/son/child in-law" 🥺
