The Co-Dependency Factor
Hello Big Bang fans. It's been a very long time since I've written a fan fic so I'm a little rusty, especially with my grammer. I've had this story in my head for awhile now and I'm finally trying to get it out in writing. This is my first time writing drama and my first time delving into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper so I'm just posting the first chapter to see what people think. I would very much appreciate reviews and feedback as to whether this seems interesting. Oh an F.Y.I Sheldon may be a bit OOC but then that's kind of the message I'm trying to get across in this fic. So hereit is.
I do not own The Big Bang Theory.
"Yes I have it here somewhere just hold on." Sheldon entered his living room and rummaged through his desk until he found a small folder filled with documents.
"For your information I am meticulously organized and I just found it, right where I thought it was". He looked through the papers to double check they were the right ones while the person on the other end of the phone continued to rant.
"Well did you tell our mother about this little legal dilemma?" Sheldon said, sighing a bit knowing exactly what was next.
The gang had been sitting in the living room eating Thai food while listening to Sheldon's slightly stressed conversation. Penny was the first to speak up."Who's Dr. Wakadoodle talking to?" Leonard listened a bit more intently, he could usually pick up on who Sheldon was talking to based on his tone.
"hmm, well his voice sounds irritated but its laced with a bit of softness so it's probably not anyone from work, and... judging by the fact that he said "our mother", I'm pretty sure its a family member".
"Missy?" Penny inquired.
"Hmm... I don't think so, he usually doesn't get this exasperated when he talks to his sister".
Sheldon continued, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You know your going to have to learn to at least speak to the woman because I can't keep being you messenger, its tedious and pathetic.
Sheldon's last words gave it away to Leonard. "Based on that last sentence I'd say it's probably Jackson"
"Who's Jackson" Howard asked
"Sheldon's brother".
Everyone seemed a bit taken aback, Sheldon rarely spoke of his older brother, but Leonard knew a little having lived with Sheldon for years.
Amy heard the last part or her boyfriend's words as well but his family drama wasn't that new to her. Over the last year and a half she and Sheldon had shared many secrets with each other, ones they would never repeat to anyone else. Despite their supposed "abnormal relationship" Amy took great pride in the fact that she and Sheldon could confide in each other and be straight up honest in their relationship.
Leonard looked at Amy who was looking down at her food. He sensed she might know as much as he did about this if not more.
"Well yes I suppose...but you have been in the California area numerous times and have never taken any interest in visiting me". "You want to make it up to me?" "Yes Amy is real and yes she is my legitimate girlfriend", Sheldon finally said, growing annoyed at his brother's prying.
Amy blushed while everyone else smirked at her. Like her family, Sheldon's had a hard time believing their little Shelly was in a relationship.
"Alright, 'll see you soon, goodbye". Sheldon pressed end on the phone and sat down in his spot rubbing his temples.
"You ok sweetie?" Penny asked. She'd never seen her friend so distraught over a phone call. He looked like Leonard after he gets off the phone with his mother.
"I'm fine Penny, my family on the other hand... well that's a very long story".
"So does that mean were having a house guest?" Leonard asked taking a sip of his water.
"No, Jack will be staying in a hotel during his visit. We have some papers to go over" Sheldon said, sighing once more.
Everyone asked what the papers were about but Sheldon dismissed them as nothing important. The truth was they were very important papers but he didn't want to talk about it. Sheldon never liked to reveal too much personal information even with his closest friends. Amy gave him a concerned look placing her hand on his. Although he still flinched slightly at her touch, he had begun to find it enjoyable and comforting, he even did it on his own once when Howard left for space. He locked eyes with her to let her know he was okay and that this visit would not bring up those memories.
The rest of the group noticed the Shamy interaction, and the look on Sheldon's face suggested this was going to be more than just a simple visit from Jackson Cooper.
So what did you think? Lol, if it's badly written I may redo it, please review.
