Description
You woke up from your dreamless sleep to the sound of crying coughing and sneezing.
Sitting up you rubbed the sleep from your eyes and checked the time, 5:45 am... usually they were asleep til 9:30.... why so early?
Another sneeze caught you attention soon followed by coughing and another did the same one sounding worse than the other.

That's why.
One... or more of your tots have caught a cold.
Getting up you followed the sounds just to come to realize, they were all... sick as they cuddled on Raphaels bed, coughing on each other while Raph laid on his side his shell facing the other three, usually Donnie and Leo slept in a different room while Mikey stayed with Raph.
Leo looked up at the door way where you stood then back at his three sick brothers.
Maybe not all of them were si-

"Achoo!" Leo covered his mouth and nose with his arm, yeah no they were all sick.
"How did you all manage to get sick?" You walked deeper into the room and looked over them.
"Mikey was sick first and he drank from out hot chocolate" Leo said sniffling, he did that.. Mikey would finish his own and then drink from his brothers.
"Mieky" You gently scolded his blue eyes opening to look at you, a small tired smile forming on his lips.
"Sorry Mom" He sat up.
"Okay, which one of you isn't sick?" Donnie looked up at you and sat up.
"I'm not" He said. "But the body needs warmth to get better"
"Oh, Don hunny, you're cold blooded" You said picking him up. "That won't help to much, that and you could get sick to"
"Sorry"

You put him down on his feet and tucked in the other three sick turtle's, Donnie hurried off to a different room then soon came back carrying all kind of blankets he could find (All but the one on your bed of course) and tried his best to cover his ill brothers.
Raph rolled onto his back snuggling into the warmth of the blankets.
Donnie made sure they were all stuffed in like turtle burritos.

"Come on Don, Let's go make them some warm soup" You took the purple turtles hand and walked out of the room.
"Yes, Mom" He followed you out quickly.

First you made Donnie something to eat then he started to get all that you needed for home made chicken noodle soup, what's better than that?
You would of used the canned stuff but Donnie refused it.

"Mom! They need to eat something good and fresh" He insisted bringing out veggies and chicken legs.
"Got it" You said getting the rest of what you needed to make the soup.

Donnie grabbed the stool from under the sink propped it up against the counter and gave you a hand, doing as you asked when you did ask.
Bring water to the others? Yes he would do it. Check them and the such.

Though to be honest you should of done these things cause.

"Achoo!" Donnie covered his nose and looked away.
"Oh, no you're infected" You picked him up and tucked him away with the other three.
"But mom" Donnie started.
"No buts Donatello, you're sick and I need you to be right here"

He gave in and nodded, with that you got them a few tissue boxes a trash can and one of Donnies TV hooking it up and playing a movie for them.
Going back down the stairs you sighed, so much for one being the soul survivor on that one.
Getting back to your home back soup and finishing it, the smell of chicken soup filled the house, yum.
Grabbing four bowls (According to colour of course) Blue Red Purple and of course Orange with frogs on the spoons.
Some reason they like frogs.
Putting down the bowls you went and grabbed their tiny round table and their colourful chairs and dragged it up to their bedroom and set the table for them then went down stairs grabbed the bowls and the pot full of the soup and some towels before going up stairs and setting it all up, the boys already around the table with their little blankets around their shoulders, Mikey had a huge bear on his, Leo had super hero's Donnie had a turtle on his and Raphael has cars.

Setting down the pot onto of the folded towel you served up your boys sitting on the floor beside Mikey, who would look at you say something the couch then look away.
Thanks Mike...
You would help blow on the soup and help clean their runny noses as they ate.

"Thanks mom! This is good!" Leo sat up, he even gave you some of his...or tried to but of course that would of gotten you sick.
"Anything for my boys" You smiled dipping into the pot now and again.

Later that night you got the boys tucked back in, dishes cleaned and the house tidy.
Giving the boys one more dose of Medicine you headed down stairs snuggled up on a lazy boy turned on the TV and watched some cartoons.
At 12 you heard the sound of footsteps, first they walked around above you, stopped then walked again the sounds of doors opening and closing then down the stairs.
Actually it was sort of creepy, in the dark nothing but the TV.
The foot steps stopped behind you heavy breathing made you freeze up.

"Ma?" It was just Raph,
"Raph, what are you doing out of bed?" You looked around the chair staring at him.

He stood there holding one of his stuffed toys and his blanket around his neck and over his shoulders, he made his way towards you got in front and then onto your lap snuggling you and even tried to cover you both up with his little blanket.
He would sniffle cough and sneeze but his eyes were so dry they were tearing up and he was to tired to do anything else, so you just sat there with an arm around hi, and watched cartoons til one of you fell asleep first, and well we'll never know who it was seeing as you fell asleep at some point most likely after Raph.

You woke up to sometime in the morning with Raph, Leo and Donnie along with Mikey all crushed together on your lap fast asleep all snotty and making loud wheezing sounds.

"Achoo!" The boys woke up alarmed and looked up at you.
"Oh uh" Donnie stared big eyed.
