There He Is

Disclaimer: I do not own The Big Bang Theory or any of its characters, i am just trying to get my first story out.

A/N: this is my first TBBT story and I am just hoping that people like it. I was watching the show and it just came to me during a commercial break and I had to write it down. If I get good feedback i will continue and I would LOVE to get any kind of suggestions and critiques that would help make it better. :)

P.S. this is set some time after the breakup with Penny/Leonard but before the akward morning with raj, I still pretend that THAT never happened. Eventually this will end up a Shenny Fic but not until we get a few chapters in.

P.S.S. this character is OC and read through chapter 2 to understand the premise

It was Tuesday. We usually don't eat at the Cheesecake Factory on Tuesday. We usually eat here only on the first Monday of the month.

I hate it when my schedule is derailed but if I am anything I am adaptable.

I just had my bacon cheeseburger well done, with mustard not mayo, on Texas toast not a bun and with mashed potatoes instead of fries, and we were just waiting on our waitress to come give us the check, she's the first waitress to get my order right the first time and she didn't look at me like I'm crazy when I ordered either.

I looked around for her, where could she be, she's not hard to miss, well actually she could be very easy to miss, I mean come on, how many blondes live in California? A lot. I could do the math if you want, but I won't. But she is the only one with that smile; she was much nicer than our last waitress too.

Oh, there she is, taking an order at the table with the four men, she seems to just be chatting with them. She was laughing at something the one with the glasses was saying, he looks like the guys in the AV club at the middle school. The Indian guy across from him was smiling giving thumbs up, odd; he doesn't seem to be talking. The weirdly dressed guy next to him was leering at her like a dog would a bone, tongue out and everything, what is up with the turtle neck?

I get up she doesn't seem to notice that we are waiting; I'm about half way there when I see him, Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper!

Oh my god!

I'm frozen, I can't move, the adrenaline running through my blood is cold. The blonde sees me and looks at me, she's giving me a wave and gesturing that she will be over here in a second, I give her a nod and walk quickly back to my seat. I can't believe it!

My nanny, Ms. Dimas, had left to go to the bathroom, I'm alone with my thoughts and then I notice the tear sliding down my cheek. I quickly wipe the offending tear away, and look up our waitress is standing right there.

"Hey sweetie, are you guys ready for your check?" She says with a smile until she notices my eyes. She puts the check down and crouches to my eye level. "Honey are you ok, do you need a tissue?" she pulls out a napkin from her apron. I take the napkin and unfold it so the side not covered in bacteria and germs is what I use to wipe my eyes, no sense in risking pink eyes for a tear.

"Thank you,... Penny", I tell her, reading her name tag. She smiles at me and gets ready to leave.

I can't believe it, I turn around, hiding behind the back of my chair. I can barely see him from over here, except for the back of his head. I see my nanny coming back from the restroom. I quickly turn around and start drinking my soda like I've been dying of thirst. When she gets to the table she sits and grabs the folder with the check in it, she pulls out the credit card that my grandfather gave her and tucks it in and starts to sip on her tea.

When she looks at me I know she can see it, the red in my eyes and the fact that I am not talking a mile a minute tips her off. And now that my drink is just at the bottom and I'm making that horrible slurping noise that I hate, she gives me her best "warden" look.

"What's wrong?" she's looking at me with those eyes that see too much and won't let me get away with anything. She's the 5th nanny I've had in 2 years. The first one was nice but couldn't handle the pressure of taking care of someone like me, I was just too smart and too cunning for her.

The second, Ms. Lindsey, i liked a lot, but she got pregnant and soon she wanted her own family and forgot about little ole' me. The third only lasted a week, some people dont like my practical jokes i guess, and the fourth, well, Tiffany, she wasn't around to take care of me as much as to take care of my grandfather, horrible old man.

When I met this one I didn't think she would last either but she's been with me for close to 6 months and she's hard to shake. Yeah, no Mary Poppins for me.

"Nothings wrong, I'm just ready to go, my schedule is off and I need to get back to it", I blurt out, I'm starting to think that she doesn't buy it, until Penny come back and breaks up the tension.

Ms. Dimas hands her the folder and Penny leaves to get us our receipt. "Make sure to leave her a good tip. She didn't screw up my order like the last one did, 10% in addition to her 20% should suffice."

When Penny comes back she gives my shoulder a small, I guess supportive squeeze, before she leaves the receipts on the table. Ms. Dimas opens the folder and grabs the pen, she's got that look that tells me she is struggling with the math, I sigh, this is rudimentary math, how hard can it be? I sit up reach across the table and get the receipts as well as the pen and jot down, the tip and total and give it back to her to sign.

The look that she gives me is like the one that Green Goblin gave Spiderman right before he put him through a wall. I just grab my purse of essentials, put it on my shoulder and get ready to stand. I start walking, but I have to get another look at him. So I take the longer way to the front door, and there he is. He's talking to the one with the glasses and then shakes his head.

"Let's go. If you want to get back on schedule we need to leave and go to the mall before 7:00" Ms. Dimas says right next to me, I turn and follow her right out the door. But I can't walk out. I turn once more and look for Penny. I see her talking to another blonde waitress, I rush over there.

"Excuse me, Penny?"

"Hey sweetie what can I help you with?" she's smiles at me. I can't help but smile back.

"Those guys over there at that table" I nod towards them, "the one on the end, is that…Dr. Sheldon Cooper?" I ask.

"Umm…yeah he is, he's also my neighbor and friend, how do you know him?" she's looking at me with a quizzical look.

"uhh…" quick lie! "I'm studying him in my physics class and wanted to meet him." I give a smile.

She's just looking at me, "you take physics? How old are you?"

"Uh yes I do, I'm in an advanced class, and I'm 13 by the way." I look behind me, Dimas is waiting for me by the door, impatiently. "So, do you think I could meet him?" oh god she probably thinks I'm crazy.

"Sure, he comes in here every Tuesday with…"nanny cuts her off.

"Young lady what are you doing? I thought that you were ready to leave?" she doesn't look happy at all and has her hands on her wide hips.

"I'll be right there" I tell her I look back at Penny, "Penny do you think that he would mind if I came in next Tuesday to speak to him, you know like an interview?" I give her a shy but pleading look.

"Sure I'll tell him, he comes in around 6:30"

"OK thanks Penny I'll see you next Tuesday!" and I bolt out of the restaurant with Dimas right behind me. I get to the car and sit in the backseat in my spot.

"What was that all about young lady? Why were you talking to the waitress?" she looks at me as she prepares to drive.

"Oh nothing, I thought that she was nice and just wanted to know if she minded being our waitress again the next time I came in, that's all," my left eyelid flutters. Uh, that tick is back, I can't believe it; it took me months to be able to control it when I lied.

"Alright well, I guess next time we come in we will just ask for her" she looks at me with suspicion, I know she saw it. But she lets it go for now.

She starts driving and I sit and stair out the window, I can't believe it, he was just sitting there, the only person I wanted to meet more than anybody else in the world.

a brilliant physicist,

a child prodigy,

…my father.
