Raphael Hamato stands still, a 13-foot giant of green scales and muscle, his orange plastron serving as an impromptu cradle. The room is silent save for the soft breaths of the newborn sleeping peacefully on his chest. His ruby eyes, usually fierce, are wide with a mix of awe and terror. He hasn't moved in an hour, frozen by the delicate weight of his child. The snaggletoothed mutant looks down, his large, three-fingered hands hovering uncertainly, afraid that even a twitch might wake the tiny, fragile life entrusted to him by his partner.
