Four days later, on the 1 June, Leo was doing the laundry. How the heck is there so much laundry when we don't really wear clothes, he mused? When he finished, he went to Don's lab."Have the results come back yet?" he asked.

"I was just about to come and get you. Is Raph around?"

"No, he and Mikey have taken the kids to April and Casey's."

"You might want to wait until he's back."

"That bad?" Leo asked fearfully.

"I'm afraid so, Leo," Don said sadly.

"Look, whatever it is, I can take it. Tell me."

"Have a seat." Don picked up the stack of papers April had e-mailed with Leo's results and cleared his throat nervously. "You're pregnant. Two months along."

'Wow," Leo said. "Really? But that's good. What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that. Oh, hell, Leo, I wish I didn't have to say this, but you have colon cancer. Stage four. It's already spread into the liver and as you know, we can't get chemo or radiation. All I can do is give you palliative care."

Leo's jaw dropped. "You're joking, right?"

Don's eyes filled with tears. "No," he said, sobbing. "I wish to hell it wasn't the case."

"How long have I got?"

"Months. Maybe even weeks. You need to tell Raph."

"And the baby?"

"It can't survive with the cancer, Leo. You should consider terminating it. I'll help you."

"No," Leo snapped. "I'm not aborting my baby, Don. And that's final."

"Talk to Raph. Oh, God, Leo, I'm so sorry." Don wrapped his arms around his brother.

"If I make it another four months," Leo said, pulling away. "Is it possible that you can bring the baby to full term in an incubator?"

"I can do that, but the likelihood is that you won't be around then. Colon cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers. You and Raph have a lot to discuss."

I kind of need to be alone now, but do you think you and Mikey could look after the kids tonight? I want some alone time with Raph."

"Of course," Don said, patting his shoulder. "And if there's anything you need, you know I'll do it."

"Thanks and I'm sorry you had to be the one to break it to me. It must have cut you up."
Leo got up and went to his bedroom. Gazing around it, he studied the photos of him and his family on the walls. His beautiful family. Tears streamed down his cheeks. Why now? We're so happy. I don't get it. It isn't supposed to be like this. I'll fight it and do my best to beat it, but Raph? I'm so worried about him. He's going to crack and build up his walls. He's going to take it hardest. How do I tell him?
Leo was still wondering that when the door to his room opened an hour later. Raph entered, the twins in his arms. "Hey," he said, kissing Leo on the cheek.

"Hey."

"How's yer day been?"

Leo kissed his babies and smiled. "Okay. Did the kids behave?"

"No. Our youngest threw up on April, yer namesake got hold of crayons and was drawin' on the wall and Lily got hold of April's lipstick and smeared it all over herself, the babies and the rug in the lounge. Took me forever to clean them and the place up. I'm pooped."

"Aww," Leo said, looking at Troy tenderly. "Is he sick, Raph?"

"I think a touch of the flu. And ya know if he's got it, his twin will get it. I'll keep an eye on them. Let me put them to bed and I'll be with ya." Raphael placed the babies in the crib and covered them with a blanket. He and Leo looked at them proudly. Then, Raphael, turning to his mate, said, "Ya got all my attention now. Ya good?"

"I am. Now that you're back."

"Miss me, huh?" Raphael said, smirking. He leaned in and nuzzled Leo's beak affectionately. "I sure missed ya, Fearless."

"We need to talk, Raph," Leo said, thinking I wanted to tell him later, but now's as good a time as any.

"Ya look serious, Leo? Is somethin' wrong?" Raphael asked anxiously.

"Sit on the bed, Raph." They sat down and linked hands. "I got the test results."

"And?"

"I'm two-months pregnant."

Raphael beamed. "Okay, so we didn't want more, but we decided that we'll have the baby and love the squirt just as much as the others."

"That's not the only news, Raph." Leo sucked in a deep breath. "I have colon cancer, Raph. Stage four. It's already spread to the liver. Don says I have months, maybe even weeks and all he can give me is palliative care."

Raphael's jaw opened, then closed, as he tried to find words. Finally he managed to say, "Tell me this is a sick fuckin' joke? Please tell me that," he begged. "I need ta know that."

Leo shook his head. "No, Raph. I'll try to beat it, but the reality is that colon cancer is aggressive and I'm going to die soon. There's nothing anyone can do."

Raphael got up without another word, stormed out and slammed the door so hard, the twins woke up and started to cry.
Leo picked up his babies and kissed them. "Hush now. Go to sleep. Daddy's going to come back. He just wants some time alone." I hope he comes back, Leo thought, tears running down his cheeks. "I need him more than ever. Oh, Raph. Please don't do anything foolish. Come home.
