Amy curled up in her chair and fell asleep. Harmony had kept her up all night. She had certainly named the twins the wrong way around. Melody would sleep all night, whereas Harmony was the one keeping them all up. She thought that this reclining chair had been a fabulous addition to her office. It had actually been purchased for test subjects, the university thought that they should be comfortable while Amy was running tests on them. But Amy used it more for herself than anyone else. She made sure that she did all her work, with many breaks that became a life saver. Sheldon's life.
Sheldon's latest project was coming to an end, and , for once, Sheldon was pleased. He had been working with Barry Kripkie, something that enraged him even now. Every evening after the long day at work Amy would walk down to Sheldon's office to pick him up before going down to the day care to pick up the twins, then drive to the school to collect Stephen. Amy's days were long; she thought that maybe Leonard had the right idea.
Megan stopped in her tracks and looked around the room for her best friend, Stephen; it didn't take long for Megan to spot him at the table, reading a book on space with Michael. Stephen was absolutely obsessed with space, much to Sheldon's annoyance, and declared that his uncle Howard was his hero. It had almost become too much for Sheldon when, about three weeks previously, Stephen had just causally mentioned that his goal in life was to become a MIT trained engineer. Megan rushed over and quickly immersed herself in a book. She knew there was no point in disturbing Stephen when he was reading about space. Nothing came between Stephen and space. The designs he had done already were remarkable for a six year old. Sheldon just wished that his passion was physics. Just like him.
Halley smiled sweetly at the staff in the after school club. For that few hours a day she was queen bee. Everyone at the club thought she was so sweet and wouldn't think for one minute that she would be unkind to anyone. Little did they know that behind the deep blue eyes and thick brown hair with natural blonde highlights she had a devilish side. Megan knew, Megan knew all too well, but Halley was just so clever in keeping things away from everyone else. Most of the bulling happened at school, but she knew that she wasn't safe anywhere. Megan wished she could tell someone, but didn't want to cause trouble by bringing it all up.
The week passed quicker than everyone had anticipated and before they knew it, Saturday was here. Every Saturday the gang would spend together, it had been part of the 'Moving Away agreement' that Sheldon had coerced Leonard and Penny into signing. They would each take it in turns to go round to each other's houses and spend at least four hours in each other's company. They had actually found it quite therapeutic after a busy week at work, but would never admit that to Sheldon. This week, it was Howard and Bernadette's turn to host, and Megan wasn't happy.
