Sweet Child Of Mine
When Sherman's birth parents show up out of the blue, Mr. Peabody will have to make the hardest decision of his life.
"I have a meeting with the science club after school so I'm not going to be leaving at the same time as everyone else today." Sherman made sure to remind Mr. Peabody of this last night and every ten minutes since getting up this morning. At this point he was sure he'd be hearing the same phrase repeat itself in his head for the rest of the day.
"I know, Sherman, and while we're on the subject of science, did you remember your project?"
Sherman nodded, "It's in my bag." He hopped of the scooter as they stopped in front of the school and Sherman waved happily, "See you later, Mr. Peabody!" Then he hopped up the steps to meet up with a waiting Penny and the two exchanged laughing words as they entered the building.
Once home, Mr. Peabody was about to get ready for his daily yoga when the doorbell rang. Strange, he wasn't expecting anyone today. He answered the door to two nervous looking people.
"Can I help you?"
The two were silent before the man asked, "Are you Mr. Peabody?'
The genius observed the two for a quick moment, the woman had a pair of large glasses and the man's face was lightly dotted with freckles and both had matching red hair.
"Yes, is there something you need?" Repeating his question, albeit with different words, he wondered what these people wanted to suddenly show up at his door, he was having a rare moment of his head coming up with nothing.
The man sighed, "My name is Michael and this is my wife, Holly. We understand you had adopted a young boy some time ago?"
Peabody's guard rose slightly now knowing this was about Sherman. "Yes, many years ago, why?"
Now the woman, Holly, spoke up, "We're...his parents."
