~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey had all regressed today. Usually it would be one of them that one, or maybe even two! But today was just one of those days. Splinter didn't mind helping out his sons, after all, he's been through it all before once, can't be too hard right?

Right now, he was making sure Leo didn't get into anymore trouble. He was being mean to Donnie earlier! So he got sent to the timeout corner.
Donnie giggled at his younger twin being in trouble,
"Oooo, Weo in twouble."
He teased, loud enough for Leo to hear.
Leo whined and faced the other way in the corner.

"Purple, stop teasing your brother."
Splinter said sternly, yet calmly at the same time.
Donnie stuck his tongue out at Leo before crawling away on his knees to his younger brother Mikey.

"Hey 'ikey! Wanna dwo something fun?"
Donnie asked, Mikey perked up and started to giggle.

"Ywes pwease!! We gonna play?! I wanna play with pway dough!"

"We can play with pway dough later! Rwight now.. we gwonna pwank Raph!"

"Scware Raphie..? Bwut he sleeping!"

"I knows! We gwonna take his stuffie."

"Hmm.. Otay! I wanna prank Raph!"

Donnie giggled mischievously, "Yay!"
He gently grabbed Mikey's hand, "Cmon!"

Mikey and Donnie wobbly walked their way to Raph's room somewhat quietly.
The door was opened only slightly, just enough for the two to peak their heads through.

"Okay.. so you go in there, and you're gwonna twake the stuffie, and ou gwonna hide as fast as you cwan with it!"

Mikey looked at Donnie with a somewhat unsure look, "Why dwo I gotta dwo it..?"

"Becwause you can hide faster cause your shorter thwan me. You cwan hide under the bwed!"

"Ohhhh, so true! Otay, here I gwo!"
Mikey quietly walked into the room and dropped to his knees, to be more sneaky he thought it would be better to crawl.
He crawled over to the bed, Raph was hugging a stuffed animal. Mikey stretched his arms to grab it, he tugged it gently, but it didn't budge.
He thought for a moment..
"I gwotta pull harder."
He whispered to himself. He took a deep breath and pulled on the stuffie with a little more force, then just like that it was in his arms.

Mikey gasped and showed Donnie,
"Wook!! I gwot it!!"

Mikey giggled, Donnie gave a thumbs up through the door.
"Gwood job! Now hurry and gwet out! He stwill sleeping." Mikey nodded and crawled to the door with the stuffie in his hand.
Donnie closed the door quietly,
"We did it!! Hwigh five!"

The duo high fived each other, both giggling in excitement.

"Now we gotta hwide it. Where shwould we hide it though?"
Donnie asked.

"I no know! Mwaybeee.. uh-"

"AUGHH!! REXXIE? WHERE OU GWO??"

Mikey looked over to Donnie, Donnie looked over to Mikey. Panic were in both of their eyes.
"Donnie.. what dwo we do?!"
Mikey exclaimed, but before he could do anything, Raph darted out of his room. Tears were in the snapping turtles 's eyes.
" 'Ikey! Don! Have you sween Rexxie?! I cwant find him!!"
The red turtle cried.

Mikey held the stuffed animal close behind his back,
"Uhh.. Nuh uh! I nwo see it..right Don?"

Donnie nodded and gave an awkward type smile,
"Nope! No Rexxie here!"

Raph whined and went running to the leaving room. Donnie was honestly surprised Raph didn't notice his stuffed animal behind Mikey's back.
None the less, he sighed and took Mikey's free hand.

"Cmon, we gwotta hide."
Donnie whispered. Mikey nodded then the two went running.
Donnie opened the door to his bedroom and closed the door shut. "Otay, if he knock on the door we gwonna no say nothin. We gonna pretend we sleep. Okay?"
Donnie informed, but Mikey didn't respond.

*sniffle, sniffle*

"I nwo wanna do this anymore..! I dwont like it!!"
Mikey sniffled, dropping the stuffed animal to the floor in attempts to wipe away his tears.

Donnie sighed,
"Nwooo! We cwant back out now! We dwidn't even do the fun pwart yet!"

Mikey shook his head frantically, "Nuh uh..! I dwone!! I gwonna tell papa.."
Mikey muttered, Donnie's eyes widened with horror.

"No no no no!! No tell papa! Please don't!"
The horror kept on swallowing Donnie whole, he felt like he was frozen to the floor as he watched Mikey run out of the room.
His hands shook in frustration, big tears falling down his face.
He plopped himself to the ground and cried in fear. He was so scared that Splinter would be mad at him.. he knew what he didn't wasn't right. He was just deadly afraid of Splinter thinking lowly of him.

It took him almost 5 months to get used to having his father see him in LittleSpace. He always made an effort to be on his best behavior.. but now.. now was a whole different story.
His hands couldn't stop shaking, they would stop for only brief seconds then continue to shake again.
He wanted to cry out for somebody but he felt like he couldn't.. physically.

*rattle rattle*

"Purple, what is this I hear about-"
Splinter stopped, he was a bit frustrated when entering at first, but his face softened at the face of his poor son.
The purple turtle kept rocking back and forth, he was signing something with his hands.

It was rapid, so it was hard for Splinter to keep up with it at first, but soon realized he was signing that he was scared.

Splinter sighed and started to walk closer to Donnie, closing the door behind him as well. Donnie inched back in fear, but stopped when Splinter placed his hand on his shoulder.
"There is no need to be afraid, my son. Let's try to talk this over, okay?"
Splinter sat down with Donnie, "Just try your best. What happened?"

Donnie sniffled and wiped away some of his tears, he was hiccuping a little now.
" 'trated.."
He muttered.
It took awhile for Splinter to understand what he was trying to say, but soon realized he was trying to say he was frustrated.
"Mhm.. why so? Do you think you can tell me?"

"I-I wanted to pwank with 'Ikey.. then, twhen, he was gwonna twell ou.."
He groaned, and the frustrated hand shaking started to arise again. The tears wouldn't stop for anything.

All of the pieces started to come together for Splinter. Raph crying, Mikey feeling anxious, then Donnie feeling guilty. It was finally all starting to make sense.
"Purple.. listen, you're not in trouble. I think I understand what happened. You just wanted to have a little fun.. but you understand now that it isn't okay to take people's things, yes?"

Donnie nodded.

"Good job, my son."
Splinter hugged Donnie for a brief moment, and patted his head. Usually, for comfort, he would rub his sons on the back when they were in distress, but he used this technique for when only Donnie was upset. His soft shell was sensitive, he didn't like when it was touched.

"Well.. I put all three of your brothers down for a nap, I think I'd do you some good to get some sleep too, huh? I know I could use some sleep, heh."
He chuckled.

Donnie nodded his head without a word, except a small yawn escaping from his mouth.

The regressed purple turtle stood up and waddled to his bed, putting himself in he wrapped himself in the covers.
Splinter walked over and rubbed Donnie's head one more time,
"Sleep well my son, tonight will be better. I promise."

Splinter smiled then quietly turned off the lights to Donnie's room, then leaving shorty after.
He sighed to himself.

He had to be honest, these turtles were a piece of work.. but he loved his sons with all his heart.

He'll love them no matter what stands in his way .
