A/N: In the last chapter, Penny's punishment was to attend Sherman and Leslie's support group meeting (Despite it being against their wishes) and it really showed her the error of her ways. And Leslie kissed Sherman on the cheek, leaving him very happy. Now he's gotta deal with having dinner with a cancer child hating social worker and the Peterson family. Enjoy!

(Normal P.O.V.)

Sherman was helping Mr. Peabody set the table up. He put the napkins down as well as putting the silverware on top of them. After that was done, Sherman put the plates down on the table as well.

"Everything's set up!" Sherman called out.

"Good, did you already take your pills?" Mr. Peabody asked coming out of the kitchen wearing a black apron and a white chef's hat.

"Yeah, I took them before I started helping" Sherman said.

"Good" Peabody said before walking back into kitchen. Sherman heard his phone go 'Ping' and he took it out of his pocket. It showed that Leslie had sent him a text message.

Leslie: Check your Email

Sherman then ran to his room and opened his blue Sony Vaio laptop and went to his Gmail account. Once he got to the inbox, he saw a message that was new and opened it. Sherman read the message aloud to himself.

'Dear Mr. Sherman Peabody,

It has come to our knowledge that you are accompanying Ms. Leslie Anderson as a special guest to fly down to Indianapolis Indiana on Monday to meet John Green, and we have provided Leslie and you some airplane tickets that we have sent to Ms. Anderson via Email. Your flight leaves Monday at 9:00 sharp, have a great trip and we hope it's an enjoyable one.

From all of us at the 'Make a Wish Foundation'

Sherman then called out for his dad.

"Mr. Peabody! Mr. Peabody come here!" he called out. Mr. Peabody came into the room with his chef's hat and apron off.

"What's wrong, Sherman?" asked the beagle. Sherman pointed to his screen and Peabody read it to himself.

"I guess we'd better start packing" Mr. Peabody said. Sherman then got excited.

"We're really going to Indianapolis" Sherman said excitedly to himself.

"Yes, Sherman. We're really going to Indianapolis" Peabody said with a paw on his son's shoulder. A 'Ding' could be heard and Mr. Peabody went out to greet whoever was at the door. Sherman just kept on looking at the email and smiled to himself.

"Thank you, Leslie" Sherman whispered before closing his computer and walking out of his room and into the dining room to see Penny and her parents.

"Hey" Penny said. Sherman just waved and said 'Hey' back.

"Sherman, about what happened on Thursday, I just wanna say I'm sorry for everything that I said to you" Penny said.

"All's forgiven now, Penny. Don't worry about it" Sherman said smiling. Sherman then reached down his pocket and found it empty.

"Mr. Peabody, have you seen my cancer meds?" he asked.

"I left them on the kitchen counter" Peabody said pointing to the counter where three separate bottles of pills sat against the wall on the marble counter.

"Thanks, I thought I lost them for a minute" Sherman said relieved a little bit. Another 'Ding' could be heard and everyone turned their heads to see Miss Grunion stepping out of the elevator.

"Miss Grunion, how delightful" Mr. Peabody said not really meaning what he said. He really didn't want this woman around his son, or this household for that matter.

"Let's see if you are truly a suitable parent, shall we?" Grunion asked with a smirk and licked her lips. She looked at Sherman with his nasal cannula on and he was wearing his backpack with his oxygen tank on. She wrote something down on her clipboard.

"What do we have here?" Miss Grunion asked as she spotted the medication bottles on the counter.

"Allergy medicines! I knew it!" Grunion shouted writing something down on her clipboard.

"You think I'm allergic to Mr. Peabody? How stupid are you?" Sherman asked with his arms crossed.

"Respect your adults, young man" Grunion scolded.

"I do respect adults, but you don't deserve any respect at all. You just hate Mr. Peabody and wanna use my cancer as an excuse to get me away from him!" Sherman shouted pointing his finger up at the woman. Peabody was smiling, secretly proud of his son for standing up for himself.

"Yeah, besides... this was all MY fault. I'm the one who called Sherman a dog, I'm the one who disconnected his nasal cannula from his tank. I'm so sorry" Penny apologized with a very remorseful tone.

"You have nothing to apologize for, Penny. A dog should never have been allowed to adopt a boy in the first place" Miss Grunion said slowly approaching Sherman and he was backing away from her slowly.

"Come along now, Sherman" she said. Sherman then began clutching his throat and coughing.

"Sherman? Are you alright?" Peabody asked worriedly. Sherman just kept on coughing and got onto his knees. Peabody ran over to Sherman and pushed Grunion away from him.

"Sherman! Sherman!" Peabody said trying to get an answer from his son but only got a coughing fit in his face instead.

"Penny, underneath Sherman's bed there's a tank with a breathing mask attached to it. Get it and bring it back here" Mr. Peabody instructed. Penny nodded and ran into Sherman's bedroom.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Peterson asked in concern and shock.

"Isn't it obvious? It's an allergic reaction to that dog! I told you he was in a dangerous environment!" Grunion told Patty.

"No it's not! It's not a dog allergy you stupid idiot! It's his cancer, it's kicking in again" Peabody told Grunion and held his son while he was now gasping and coughing in his arms. Penny came back with a large tank and put it next to Peabody.

"Thank you" the beagle said as he took Sherman's cannula out of his nose and off his face and put the oxygen mask on.

"Somebody dial a cab, we need to get him to the hospital!" Peabody cried out. Mr. Peterson took out a cell phone and dialed the number for the NYC Taxi Company.

"It's okay Sherman, you're gonna be okay" Peabody whispered quietly to his son as he kept on with the coughing and gasping.

Within a matter of minutes, a taxi arrived in front of the building and Peabody got in with Sherman still in his arms. Paul, Penny, and Patty got in with them. Patty was holding the bag with Sherman's tank and cannula in her arms.

"Take us to the ER, and step on it!" Peabody said urgently. The driver began driving as fast as he could and they arrived at the hospital within a matter of five minutes.

"Come on" Peabody said to the Peterson family as they got out the cab and followed Peabody to the emergency room. A nurse ran up to them and spoke.

"What's the emergency?" she asked.

"My son has type IV lung cancer and it's just kicked in again. He just started coughing and gasping for air" Peabody said. The nurse then ran over to go grab a gurney and pulled it up.

"Here, I'll take him" said the nurse said as she took Sherman out of Peabody's arms and placed him down, as well as taking Sherman's oxygen tank bag and cannula hanging from her shoulder.

"We have to get him to the operating room, stat. I'll tell you once he's out" the nurse said. She began pushing the gurney into the hallway. Leaving Peabody, and the Peterson family looking to the hallway with concern.

As the nurse pushed the gurney, little did she know she passed Leslie and her mother who just fished with a checkup and she saw Sherman on the gurney being pushed over to the emergency room.

"What's going on?" Leslie asked the nurse.

"He has lung cancer and it's just kicked in again" the nurse said. Leslie just stopped and just stared in shock as she saw the doors of the operating room open and close as soon as Sherman was wheeled in there.

A/N: This chapter was probably the most upsetting I've had to write, not only because of Miss Grunion hating on Sherman for having cancer and calling it a 'Dog Allergy' just so she can take Sherman away, but Sherman's cancer kicked back in and now he's having a major coughing fit. And the only thing Peabody, Penny, her parents, and Leslie can do except hope he's gonna be okay.

Anyways, the aftermath of that very sad part will be in the next update. More to come as well. Please review, thanks!
