Sheldon was in his office. He could try whatever he wanted but he couldn´t think about anything but Ayden. Desperate, he reached his phone on the edge of the desk.
"Yes, this is Sheldon Cooper. I´m calling to know if I can stop by to spent some time with Ayden."-Sheldon said on the phone.
"Of course you can. Is Amy coming too?"-The woman on the other side said.
"No, it´s just me."-Sheldon told her.
"Very well. What time will you be here?"-She asked.
"Around 5pm."-He said.
Sheldon put his phone in his pocket. His heart started to beat faster. Beat as fast as on his first date. Fast as on the airplane to Princeton. Fast as on his wedding day. And now, that he was about to spent some time with his son-to-be, his heart was beating fast.
Amy stopped by his office and they both went lunch.
"What have you been doing this morning, Sheldon?"-She asked.
"Actually, not much."- He whispered.
"What´s wrong?"-Amy asked.
"I spent all morning thinking about Ayden. I just felt a connection with that kid…"-Sheldon said before Amy cut him midsentence.
"I know you did. What are you going to do about it?"-She asked.
"I´m going there at 5. I feel like I need to be with that child for a while. Perhaps I'll bring him a physics book."-Sheldon told her.
"That sounds great. I´m glad you´re feeling this way. Maybe I´ll join you guys later."-Amy added.
"We´ll be waiting for you, mommy."-Sheldon said smiling like a cute child.
Amy smiled back.
They finished their lunch and, then, Amy left to her lab.
Sheldon caught a bus home. He grabbed a physics book. The first he ever owned.
He passed his eyes by the pages. He remembered how happy he was when he got it. He remembered the joy he had when he read it and he thought about Ayden´s smiling face when seeing this book.
Sheldon had everything ready and he left the apartment on time to be with Ayden at exactly 5pm.
"Sheldon Cooper. I called this morning."-He said when he arrived.
In a few minutes, Sheldon got in the living room. As always, Ayden was in the corner, today without any book. Just him.
"Hello."- Sheldon said.
"Oh, , I didn´t expect to see you here today."- Ayden told him.
"Yes, I know. I wasn´t able to concentrate in my office so I called to see if I could stop by and hang out with you."- Sheldon told the little boy.
"Why would you want to spend time with me? I told you, , I´m a weird young person."- Ayden said.
"You know what? I´m a weird adult."-Sheldon responded.
"What do you mean?"- The kid asked, intrigued.
"I am weird. I was just like you are when I was a kid. I sat alone in school, I was in high school at 9 years old. I graduated college when other people my age weren´t in high school yet. I have all this knowledge but it was very hard for me to make friends and even more difficult to realise my feelings for Amy, my wife. I believe that life´s hard now but I know that one day you´ll have amazing friends and a beautiful wife next to you."- Sheldon sweetly said.
"I appreciate your speech, , but I´ll probably spend all my childhood in this house and, by the time I become an adult, I´ll be as socially awkward as you are intelligent. Can you explain me why are you here?"- Ayden told him.
"I shouldn´t say anything until I know for sure…"- Sheldon said.
"Please, ."- Ayden begged.
"Fine. My wife and I have this dream of ours to become parents. Amy really wants us to adopt and, honestly, I´m so proud of my wife for that. So, we filled some files and within some months, if you want, we can become your adoptive family."- Sheldon said, scared of Ayden´s reaction.
"Are you going to be my dad, ?"- Ayden asked, terrified.
"I guess so."-Sheldon answered.
Ayden hugged him so tight.
"Thank you, ."- Ayden whispered.
"You can call me Sheldon"- Sheldon whispered as well.
Amy entered the room. She would be lying if she said a tear didn´t fall off her eyes. What could she do? The man of her life hugging her little man….
