It had been a few days since any of the guys had talked to April or Casey still. Donnie was surprisingly still hurt by April, which everyone figured was because even Donnie could see by this point that April was not only never going to like him back, but was just plain out leading both Donnie and Casey on. But, with that, the boys were stuck trying to figure some things out, and stuck trying to move on from the past.

"She does need her own space, away from us." Donnie spoke to everyone else, they were in a group discussion in the kitchen where they could keep an eye on (y/n) watching TV.

"But what would we do with her? Stick her in one of our rooms alone? Stick her up on some random ass rooftop and pray she doesn't get taken or wander off?" Raph questioned

"First of all, language, Raph. Second, we can't just leave her be, we need a place we can still keep an eye on her, but let her still play around and be a kid." Leo started.

Mikey had headphones on, listening to music just quiet enough to still be a part of their conversation as he made Mac n' cheese for (y/n), and in this moment, quiet enough for him to get involved without really thinking. "We can always renovate Part of the dojo for (y/n), and if we need to we have splinters room."

"Mikey that-" Donnie started, but quickly paused realizing it wasn't actually a horrible idea, "That could work Mikey. We could dedicate the front or the back of the dojo to toys for her, move the weapons either higher up, hide them, or put them in splinter's old room, and when she's not in there, we can still use it for training."

Leo was reluctant to agree, but he saw it was a good idea, so after a minutes of washed over sadness, he started to talk, but quickly got interrupted.

"Hell no! That's... that's our dojo!" Raph spoke, seemingly upset, (y/n) heard yelling and looked over, confused.

"Raph, it's not an awful idea, it could work really well for what we need." Leo said.

"But.. it's... No, screw this, you're not changing that room!" Raph spoke, immediately moving out of the kitchen and into the dojo, shutting and leaning against the door behind him. His brothers, except for Mikey, running after him, but Mikey had to watch the food.

"Raph what is your issue!" Leo asked, getting increasingly more ticked-off with Raph.

"We barely are even in the dojo anymore, Raph! What's wrong?" Donnie spoke

"Nothing is wrong! just back the hell off!" Raph yelled, settling himself more against the door.

"Raphael get over yourself! You're gonna be the reason April forces (y/n) out of our home!" Leo yelled, his face was completely red with anger.

Raph stood up, pissed. There were tears in his eyes that he hated to admit were there, he opened the doors, "Well maybe I want to keep this room how it is! Maybe I'll start rehearsing every second of every single day in this room! I'll-" He got cut off by (y/n) clinging to his leg, and he shut the door again before his brother's could take advantage of him being distracted.

Leo immediately banged on the door, "You idiot! you can't hide her with you!"

"Raph this isn't fair to anyone!" Donnie spoke, also starting to hit at the door, trying to tug it open, but Raph just pinned it shut and walked over to the tree, tears streaming from his eyes as he sat with his shell against the tree. (y/n) just worriedly walked towards Raph.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" (y/n) asked.

"I'm not crying." Raph spoke, avoiding eye contact with (y/n), but his eyes weren't angry anymore, he was sad.

"but brother-"

"What?"

"brother! big bro!!" Raph looked at (y/n), and (y/n) just jumped on him, her arms open for a hug. Raph started crying more, hugging her, then he looked around the room, really taking it all in.

"wait, I know what this is about." Leo spoke quietly to Donnie, suddenly his demeanor softened, and he seemed apologetic.

Raph looked at (y/n), and just hugged her back softly, "Thank you, Tiny Tot."

"Raph, you know sometimes old endings are the spark of new beginnings, right?" Suddenly the door opened in Leo's face as he spoke, Raph refused eye contact, (y/n) was in his arms, still hugging Raph to the best of her abilities.

"I... I think she deserves this as her own play room. We.. we don't use it much anymore, I guess." Raph spoke, a heavy sigh falling from his mouth after speaking, and Leo and Donnie could see a tear fall from his eyes again, and they just went in and hugged him. 

"We miss Splinter too, Raph. But there's another person in the house now, it's unfair to never give her a proper beginning. And besides, Splinter will probably love sharing his room with her when she needs time away from us, just like he did." Leo said, still hugging everyone.

"Thank you." Raph replied. "I love you guys, including you kid." They all pulled away from the hug, staring at (y/n).

"I love you all too!! Brothers brothers!" (y/n) said happily. Suddenly Raph's eyes went wide.

"Mention this to anyone, or each other, EVER AGAIN, and I will literally kill all of you." Raph spoke.

"Baby's afraid of having feelings?" Donnie spoke in a mocking baby voice, Leo and Donnie both Laughed, but Raph gaining back his naturally angry emotions, calmly put (y/n) in Leo's arms, and started chasing Donnie.

"I have no idea what I missed but uh- food is done!" Mikey spoke, an apron around his waist and a smile on his face. 

"Food!" (y/n) started kicking for Leo to put her down, and he did so. (y/n) ran over to Mikey and hopped on his leg, "Take me to food mister!"

"Alrighty little missy!"

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

They all sat by the TV, watching (y/n)'s princess movie as they ate. Raph, Leo, and Donnie were all rather bored and slightly disturbed by the movie. It was snow white, an oddly gruesome and weird movie to show kids, but Mikey and (y/n) were completely entranced by it, they barely ate they were so intrigued. But at least they were happy. 

After a while, Raph stood up and walked to his room. Donnie then followed him. 

"You alright man?" 

"Yeah, yeah." Raph seemed focused on this bin of things, Raph's shell was in the way for Donnie to get a good look at what was in the bin.

"What are you doing, Raph?"

"I- well I wanna go through some old things and, and see if I think (y/n) would enjoy playing with any of them." Raph refused to turn to look at Donnie, but Donnie just smiled.

"I won't annoy you much longer than." Donnie spoke as he started walking away, then he paused quickly and looked back. "And I hope you know Raph, you're being an amazing brother to her, thank you." and he walked away, Raph was alone. Raph smiled, for once he didn't feel as down, he felt like maybe he did do something nice, he felt happy about what he did. He really was happy about (y/n) joining the family. And maybe Leo was right, Old endings are just new beginnings.
