It had taken all four of the turtles and Leatherhead most of the day but after sending the girls out for a picnic with the kids they had set to making dinner and cleaning the entire place not wanting any of the girls having to do a thing when they returned

Each of their mates favorite items now sat on the dinner table along with a beautiful cake Mikey had just finished putting edible flowers all over making a nice buffet for dinner a little of everything was there

Raph knowing his girl missed her chinese food had gotten help in making some broccoli and beef and had tried his hand at the cream cheese wontons she went crazy for but - he tried at least they looked weird but it was an attempt out of love

Leonardo had even made one special item for his two mates since they both liked the dessert he had followed the directions to a T and although he struggled at first he happily pulled out a apple crumb cake shocked at how well it came out but was extremely proud of himself

His brothers were weary but even they had to admit he had done a good job

Donatello wanting to surprise his wife had made what she had been craving for months and although it was nothing like the restaurant she adored he took pride as he placed it on the table each of the guys going out and picking all the flowers they could to make four beautiful bouquets for each of the mothers

This was going to be the first Mother's Day they got to properly celebrate and what more could I ask for; each of the women had not only gave them the one thing in the world they had wished for but took care of their children and loved them for who they were

Each of the males practically jumped out of their skin when they heard the girls coming down the trail all of the kids laughing and playing as they went along until they saw the women. A wagon being pulled behind them containing not only the blankets and basket that have been full of food when they left but since neither of them were carrying a baby they figured the smallest of the children were laying inside comfortably

They shushed one another as they tried to look innocent when the girls came in but they all stopped looking around seeing the whole cabin was cleaned spotless, the smell of food had hit their noses before they reached the yard, and just inside all of the guys were holding a art canvas that had ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ written in the center and all around it were their children’s hand print

Raven had at first given Raphael the charm to remind him to be safe whenever he went off on his own and to know when he looked at it who was waiting for him to come home every night if they weren’t teamed up pretty soon she had realized it wasn’t fair to just give him one when she worried for all four of her mates.

Each was careful during patrols but she had gotten one too many scares over the years thinking she would lose them every time she was away

She had snuck it off the sai he kept it on one morning when she had gotten up kissing him before sneaking out of the lair heading up to school early so she wouldn’t have to hear him worrying over the thought that he had lost the little metal object praying he wouldn’t notice it was gone

She made her way to the shop on the surface that had made the custom charms picking out four more to match and set to designing them for each turtle in a way that she was sure would get their attention smiling when the woman grinned loving her ideas for the small pendants stopping at a store to buy a few things before taking to the sewers quickly assembling each as she walked home

She had gotten there just as they were getting ready for dinner seeing them all grin greeting their younger mate before Raphael had come into the room looking a little upset as he pulled her into his weight room holding her hands in his as he met her eyes “L-Look kid… I kinda lost yer pendent – but I promise I’ll find it” she had giggled kissing his hand before pulling him into the living room with a sweet smile

“Hey guys I need you to come here for just a moment” she fished out the little boxes seeing each of the turtles gathering around her as she handed one to each of them seeing the confused looks that passed between them “I kind of wanted to give you four something, I love each of you and since today marks our one year joined relationship anniversary together I though the occasion called for a special gift”

They slowly opened the box she had given them before their eyes were on her grinning as they each pulled out a small turtle charm with its shell painted in their signature colors except a small part of it which was a deep sparkly emerald green in different areas on each shell grinning when Raphael almost looked relieved to see his charm now missing a part of its red shell “Been driving myself nuts today looking for this kid”

“These are awesome babe” Mikey was quick to place his on the chain inside putting it over his neck admiring it like Donnie who had placed his on his wrist with the rope she had made to fit him like an adjustable bracelet

“You didn’t have too little sister” she moved closer attaching the charm to the handle of Leo’s left swords so it dangled on one of the handle seeing Raph had already put his back on his sai happy to see it back in its place

“Yeah I did – because even if we aren’t together all the time and we have to split up for patrols, I want the four of you to know I’m always there just like I will always know you are beside me even if you can’t really be there” he smirked stepping closer pressing a kiss to her lips in his thanks as the others smiled following suit until she was in Raphael’s arms seeing the look on his face again as he glanced to his brother’s

“Kid we didn’t get ya anything”

“Sure you did – you four just don’t know it yet” she giggled getting down holding up another box handing it to the oldest who looked inside before showing the others seeing a loving look on each of their faces as Raphael pulled it out chuckling at the matching turtle pendent – the shell divided into four equal parts with the missing color from each of their charms between each shiny groove
