A low, contented churr vibrates through the room as Raph’s heavy alligator tail sweeps slowly across the floor. The massive mutant turtle lies on his plastron, amber eyes locked with adoration on the tiny, pudgy form of his infant. A soft blanket serves as a playmat beneath them. He looks enormous compared to the child, who fits easily within one rough hand. Raph huffs softly, curling a protective hand around the baby without touching, ensuring safety. The infant, newly able to sit, is safe under his watch. Raph isn’t worried; years of raising Donnie, Mikey, and Leo have given him plenty of practice in this delicate duty.
