Mr. Peabody and Sherman 2

Chapter 11: Things that last forever

Present Peabody and Jen stood paralyzed. But Penny and Sherman stood even worse. Penny wanted to slap her own face for being jealous... of herself! But how would she know it? Future Peabody said that they didn t know this girl. She looked at Sherman a little ashamed, apologizing, and she found out Sherman was looking at her too. In fact, they looked at each other at the same time.

For Sherman knowing Penny will be his wife one day was an idea... An idea that he couldn't say he never had. Every time someone asked him about his future he could imagine himself living in big house near from New York with his two kids and Penny beside him. But from an idea to something that was actually a deed, is a long way.

Future Penny stood shocked, but happy. Surprised, but completely excited. She touched her chest with her hands, almost without breathing and crying she said:
-No-with a frivolous look
-What?-he asked confused
-I won't marry you-she reposed with a cold face
Sherman couldn't believe it, he was really disappointed. He really thought she would say yes! So, he just sat back and tried to relax himself. Even when she said no, he wanted them to be together anyway.
-Mmm... I guess you aren't ready yet, are you? I mean, a marriage it's a big step and...-He stopped when he saw Penny laughing.-Or maybe... I'm...-
-Sherman!-screamed Penny without stop laughing.-Did you really believe I said no?-
-Mmm... No-he said without understanding
-I was kidding, idiot!-she said laughing
-Ah! Got it!-he smiled, but, only for confirm it he asked again.-So, will you marry me?-
Penny looked at him confused.
-Just asking-he reposed

She smiled.-Of course that... YES!-she screamed hugging him and sitting on his knees, closer to him.

Sherman smiled. He couldn't believe he felt into that joke, or that he even had doubts about the Penny's love. She was with him always. She was his partner, best friend and lover. Even when times were quite hard, she was beside him. Of course that they had times when they were separated, like when Penny went to study to a different university really far away from Sherman's one, or times when they had fought and hanged out with other persons. But they did it. They were together twenty years.

Penny read his thoughts and took his red tie with one hand and pushed from it, making Sherman being even closer to her. She wanted to kiss him but Sherman didn't doubt it and kissed her before she could do it.
-Hey! I wanted to kiss you first!-she reclaimed
-Well, I won you this time-
-Now I don't want marrying you anymore-
-Really? In that case, I'll marry Lieserl Einstein-
-Don't you dare-she kissed him again.-You're mine-


-You two told us we did not know this girl!-reposed Present Peabody to his Future him and Future Jen
-You shouldn't know it-answered Future Peabody.-And I am sorry to tell you that you would do the same in my place, because you are me-
Peabody couldn't believe it! Seventeen years more? They will be together forever? How will he endure that?
-Hold on!-exclaimed Peabody.-This is... NO! You can't be forever together!-
-Why not, father-in-law?-asked Present Penny making him made a ''kill yourself!'' face
-You're cruel-pointed Jennifer
-It's just... NO-
-We have said nothing about your marriage with our history teacher!-
-It's not the same situation!-
Future Penny started to listen their shouts.-What was that?-she asked getting up
-NO!-screamed Future Sherman taking her by the hand
-What?-
-We... We don't have to care about somebody else's fight!-
-I don't think they are strangers; their voices are really familiar-she said trying to walk away
-But... But... We haven't talked about what kind of food we will have for our marriage-
-Sherman, what's going on?-
-What do you mean?-
-I mean you don't know how to lie. Who are that voices' from?-
-What? I'm not lying-
-So, who are they?-
-Hahaha-he laughed trying to think in an excuse.-Mmm...-

Another thing that made Peabody pay even more attention to this situation was the fact that Sherman reacted in some ways really similar to him. And his red tie was the same color as his red bowtie. He was even more similar to him. ''Like father, like son'', right? He was a completely Mr. Peabody in this future.

-Tell me the truth, in one, two and three...-continued Penny
Sherman was doing his best for not opening his mouth.
-Fine, I'll leave-
-Ok, I'll tell you-
-So? What's going on?-
-Agh... My parents followed me here-
-They followed you? Why?-
-I don't know! And for make it worse, do you remember that time when we've traveled to the future?-
-Yeah...-she remembered.-Wait! Was it today? I forgot it!-
-Me too!-
-Great, I'll never know how to lie-whispered Present Sherman
-You mean they are eight of us hid?-
-Exactly... Yeah, I know is not really something very romantic at all-
-Sherman, there are things that can't be planned-
-Well, now that we've been discovered...-said Future Jen getting into the scene.-Where are you going to celebrate your marriage? Because I know a beautiful place where you can do it! Oh, and what kind of food will you eat there? Oh, and what kind of cake do you want? Because the cake is very important and...-
-Mom!-shouted Sherman.
-Ok, I'm off...-
-Mom?-asked Present Peabody.-I will dismay-
-You're not the only one -added Present Jen
-Fine, you've seen even more what you're supposed to see! So, now you must leave-said Future Peabody
-I'm with you, you don't want to know some kind of things that happened, do you?-asked Future Jen
-Is there another worse new we shouldn't know?-asked her Present herself
-Well...-the four Future guys looked at each other. Of course there were a lot of things they don't have to know yet!
-Fine, let's go-
-Hold on! I need to say something, how is it possible that we are married?-asked the dog freaking out.-And Sherman and Penny... This is so much! He isn't even thirty years old... And he will get marry... Penny?-he said pointing his other him
-Mmm... Do you remember I'm still here?-asked Present Penny
-It's nothing against you, Penny. It's just that I wasn't expecting a marriage at this age. He isn't old enough yet-
- It wasn't my fault! I'm not agree with this either!-added Future Peabody
-Do you remember I'm still here?-asked Future Penny
-I think he isn't old enough yet-he explained to Penny (anyway she might understand: Peabody won't like any girl who can marry Sherman, doesn't really matter of who is).-But well, it's his life, and I can't control him anymore-
-This means someday you won't be completely overprotective with me?-asked Present Sherman
-Dad will always be it, but we will ignore him because we came of age-answered Future Sherman

Peabody couldn't believe this future... It wasn't at all the way he imagined it. He was freaking out... That's when Future Jen whispered something to Present Jen's ear (without touching her, of course), giving her an idea.

-And the worst part is that...-Jen started massaging his neck and Peabody started to feel better, even his tail started wagging.-I'm... still angry... But... maybe I could marry you if you massage in that way-
-Well, you can go away now-continued Future Peabody
-I have only a question before we leave: have we hanged out with other persons moreover we? Or the only person that will be my boyfriend is Sherman?-asked Present Penny to herself
-Aw! Wasn't I cute?-she asked to Future Sherman -I'm still being cute, of course-she whispered to him.-No, ''little me'', we have hanged out with other persons-she answered.-But...-she took something that was under her dress: the necklace that Sherman gave her at the beginning from the story, she still has it! -I think there are some kinds of things that last forever-
-You can leave now...-continued the dog, who looked really worried about this situation
-Yeah, you don't really want us to happen what happened in Russia-added Future Sherman
-What happened there?-asked Present Penny
Future Penny quickly blocked Sherman's mouth with her hand.-Mmm... Nothing... We don't want to act like Melissa-
-Who's Melissa?-asked Present Sherman
Future Jen blocked Penny's mouth with her hand.-Mmm... No one... It's not like...-but before she could say something, Future Peabody blocked her mouth with a piece of cake-I have said nothing-she reclaimed spitting it
-Yet, Jen-
-Mmm... We have to go right now-opined Present Peabody
-Good idea, other me-


They all got into the WABAC and disappeared in the air, leaving their selves alone again.
-So, you haven't decided anything about your wedding, have you?-asked Jennifer
-Mmm... No-answered Sherman
-I think the most important thing to decide is the exactly date-proposed Peabody.-It must be a really near day or a really far away day from here-
-Ah? Why, dad?-
-Well, because if you, Penny (for any chance of life), I don't know, for example, you are pregnant, I think you don't want to wear a dress that makes you look wrong, do you?-
Penny looked at him confused.-But I'm not pregnant-
Peabody looked at her with an ''are you sure?'' look.
Penny stood paralyzed.
We must remember that he's a dog; he senses these kinds of things, of course. Once, Penny thought she was pregnant and he said that she wasn't it, and at the end, he was right. So, if he senses she's pregnant, it must be true!
Penny touched her stomach with her hand, wondering what will happen from now on... And Sherman touched her stomach with his hand too, touching her hand. They looked at each other a little scared and surprised, but at the end, happy.


Back in New York, Present day, age and hour, Peabody, Sherman, Penny and Jennifer were going out from the WABAC and back into their penthouse. They all were really tired after that long day. Of course that save the world from a crazy historian lets everyone tired. And see their selves seventeen years in the future lets you even worse.
-Well, back home-added Peabody (the only one, finally)
-Wow... That was amazing-said Penny to Sherman.-We'll be married!-
-Of course that the future can change in any moment and...-
-You must accept it, father-in-law-
-Can we stop talking about that?-asked Jen
-Of course, mother-in-law-
-Haha, very funny-decided Peabody sitting in one of his Penthouse's sofas.
-Oh, and I have the name of your couple, Mr. Peabody and Jen!-screamed Penny
-Name?-
-Yes: Jenabody!-
Peabody and Jen gave her a ''kill yourself'' look while Penny started laughing.

-After all it was one of the best adventures we could ever have!-exclaimed Sherman, who was still happy because he knew that, someday, he will have a family with Jen... And with Penny.-We saw how we will be in the future! It was... Pretty fantastic! Wasn't it, dad?-he asked before he covered his mouth with his hand... He has called Mr. Peabody dad! He has told him he might call him Mr. Peabody or Peabody talking informally, not dad! And he did it!

Peabody felt touched (once again) when he called him ''dad''. It wasn't the first time he did it, but the first one when they might confront this topic that was hidden for a really long time. When Sherman was only a babe, he has told him he might call him Mr. Peabody (or Peabody speaking in situations less formal)... But, after living ten years with someone who is like your son, you wish he call you ''dad''. This was the Peabody's opportunity to talk about this topic and finished the ''Mr. Peabody's season'' to move on to the ''dad's season''.

Peabody looked at Jen, who nodded her head and made a sweet smile to him, making an approval signal.
-I'm sorry... I meant...-but before Sherman could apologize and call him Mr. Peabody again, he was interrupted
-Yes, it was a great night, son-said Peabody
Sherman stood astonished for some seconds before discovering what he has said. That meant... Mr. Peabody didn't mind he called him dad! He could call him in that way! He always wanted to call him in dad way!
So, he, almost crying, hugged his dad.-I love you, dad-
-I love you too, son-
It was strange... But even when Peabody was a dog and Sherman a human, even when they knew they weren't really father and son... They loved each other as if they were. And they were, are and will always be a family. No matter what challenges they face, no matter how far away they might to seen; they will be always together.

-Well, It was a long night. And you two must go to the bed-pointed Peabody
-What? Can we stay awake just a few minutes more, dad?-asked Sherman
-Yes, in your bedroom-
-Please dad!-
-Oh, you want to be alone with Jen, don't you?-asked Penny, who was, apparently, really funny that day.
-That's not true... Well, maybe-he said.-You don't have to care about that stuff, no yet-
-Fine, see you, dad!-he said getting into his room with Penny.-See you, Jen! Bye, dad!-he got into his room, and appeared back again.-Dad! Dad, dad, dad!-Said Sherman trying to say ''dad'' most times as possible, because of all the times he wanted to call him in that way and he couldn't.
Penny took his hand and took him into his room again.
-Now, you're more like a dad, Peabody-confessed Jen behind him
-Yes... I think so, he looks really happy-
-I told you he wanted to call you dad-
-Yes, that's clear-he got closer to her.-Thanks, Jen-
-Thanks? For what?-
-For being with us today, for helping me with Sherman... For everything-
-You are welcome-
-Mmm... So now what?-
-So now what?-
-Yes, I mean... What will happen to... us?-
-Ah, you mean that... Well, you want to be with me and I want to be with you, it isn't really complicated-
-But... Jen, we can't be together-
-Why not?-
-Because... I'm a dog and you're a human, we're from different species and that will never change-
-I don't care if you're a human, a dog, a snake, a bird or a cockroach, so, look for a better excuse-
-It's not an excuse! It's the reality! And even when I really wish being a human for you or for Sherman, that can't happen-
-Mmm... What part of ''I don't care'' you don't get?-
-You will never have a normal life if you are my girlfriend-
-I don't want to have a normal life! That will be boring-
-I'm father, I'm a dog, and I wear glasses and a red bowtie-
-So?-
-So I...-
-Peabody! Wake up! There is a woman in front of you that loves you as much as she doesn't care you're a dog, and, strangely, thinks that your glasses and your red bowtie are extremely attractive-
-And Sherman...-
-I love Sherman too! Not as much as you, but I love him anyway-
-There are things we can't do if we were a couple-
-I don't have anything to lose, I can't have children anyway-
-I wasn't talking about that-
She looked at him as saying ''really, Peabody? Really?''.
-And...-
-Shut up! Let's just... try, if it doesn't work, we'll break up. What can we lose trying?-
Peabody stood thinking, she was right, he loved her and she felt that for him too, what can they lose trying?
-Fine... Let's try-
-Fine...-she stood looking at him, as expecting something
-What?-
She coughed.-Invite me on a date-she said coughing again
-Oh, right! Well, what you think if you come here and we go to a restaurant...?-
-Tomorrow? At...?-
-8 o'clock?-
-Perfect!-they screamed at the same time
-Well, I think I must leave-she took her stuff again.-See you, Peabrainy-
-See you, teacher-
But before she could go into the lift, she turned around and kissed Peabody on the lips again.
-Bye!-she said walking away
-Bye-


Sherman and Penny were behind a wall listening to the conversation Peabody and Jen were having. Yeah, they couldn't resist it.
-They will be a couple-celebrated Sherman. He knew she was perfect for his father since the first moment he saw her. Now, he will finally have a mother!
Penny wasn't really concentrated in their talk, she knew they were in love and they won't let go that feeling as easily. She was looking at Sherman, and remembering what they saw when they traveled to the future. She never imagined they will be married someday really. She thought that, even with the feelings she had for Sherman, with time, they will separate as most couples do and met just one time again sometime after.

Penny took carefully and sweetly Sherman's hand, smiling to him. When he discovered what she's done, he smiled her back. Sherman reminded three years ago when he thought the three things he will like to do with Penny: go to the park, take her hand and watch her brushing her soft, gold, beautiful hair. They went to different places together which are better or similar to a park, like the Palace of Fontainebleau's garden and she took his hand now... The only thing left was watching her brushing her hair, but that can wait.

They didn't need words to explain what they all were feeling: Love. As complicated as it is, as soon as it comes, or as late in some cases, it's a wonderful thing you don't have to let go; because there are things that last forever.


1 YEAR AND A HALF LATER

-What are you doing, dad?-asked Sherman to Mr. Peabody while he was working in a new machine
-Oh, Sherman!-he said stopping working.-Don't you know what is this?-
Sherman looked at it. It was a white big sphere.-It's a... sphere?-
-No, it is another time machine-he looked at it satisfied with his work.-And it's finished-
-Why do we need two time machines?-
-Well, just in case, Sherman. Always is good to be ready. And this WABAC 2 is exactly like the other one, but white, and with some modifications. Of course that it will be hidden and used in emergency cases-
-Oh, got it-he looked at It.-Have you probed it, dad?-
-No, no yet-
Sherman smiled to him.-Can us? Please!-
-Mmm...-he looked at one clock he had on the wall.-Yes, sure. I think we have some time-
-Yeah!-he exclaimed getting in


Jennifer opened the Peabody's penthouse door. She was wearing a red cocktail dress combined with white shoes and red earrings. She was carrying a lot of stuff on her hands, but, for her surprise, anything felt to the ground. She left her stuff on one table when she discovered something: no one was there.

-Hello?-she started to ask looking for someone there.-Peabody?-she went to the living room.-Sherman?-she asked opening his bedroom's door.-I guess they haven't forgotten it...-she tried to remember how many times Peabody was late for doing something... This was the first time. But she isn't like him in that way, she has her ideas really clear, and won't freak out because he was a little late. She remembered that on their fifth or sixth date she was thirty minutes late (because of the traffic) and Peabody got really angry. Well, that's the way her ex-boyfriend was...

She looked at the beautiful gold ring she was wearing. It had a little white diamond on, beautiful, but not flashy, the way she always loved things. Mr. Peabody, her ex-boyfriend but future husband, was like that; someone amazing but not too much as you can start to hate it.
Suddenly, Peabody and Sherman appeared in the elevator.

-Oh, hey! Where were you?-asked Jen
-Oh, we were with Mr. Da Vinci-explained Sherman.-He sent you greetings and congrats, Jen-
-Yes, and sorry for being late-added Peabody.-I've finished the new time machine and we were probing it-
-Oh, never mind! It wasn't too late at all-she decided, counting that he was only a few minutes late
-Great. I'll go for our things and we'll leave-said Peabody going to the living room where he had left the things they needed
-So, Sherman, what have you done?-
-Dad built a new time machine!-explained Sherman.-It's like the normal WABAC but white-
-Oh, he talked me about that-
-Why didn't you tell me about it?-
-Why didn't you tell me your father will ask me in marriage two months ago?-
-Because it was a surprise-
-Exactly, Sherman-she said winking an eye to him.-So, how is the new robotics club's president like?-she said remembering that Sherman became president from the club last week
-Oh, amazing!-
-Is it difficult?-
-A little, I guess. But it's not as difficult as I thought-
-And you're going well on baseball, aren't you? You'll probably be the best player from the team-
-I don't think that the best player... But how do you know that?-
-I was teacher at your school Sherman! I have friends watching you there, so be careful of what you do!-she threatened, almost laughing.-How is Penny like?-
-Oh, fine! She came yesterday, because we had to do a science project together-
-How is your ''relation'' going?-whispered Jen
-Oh, well... Fine, I guess. We have already found the place where we want to celebrate our marriage in sixteen years-he said sarcastic making Jen laugh
Peabody came back.-Well, ready, we need to go for probing the cake and all the catering stuff and...-
-I want looking for my dress before that. I found some on the internet that were really beautiful-
-Fine, we can go...-
-We? You can't see the dress until the marriage's day, Peabrainy!-
-But...-he looked at her surprised.-Do you believe in that?-
-Mmm... All the persons who didn't believe in that ended wrong, so, just in case, I'd rather you not to look at it-
-Fine... You'll look it alone-
-Can I look it with you, Jen?-asked Sherman
-Sure! If your father lets you-
He looked at them.-Of course you can, Sherman. After all, you will spend a lot of time together now-he pointed
-Great! Can we go now?-asked him to Jen
She looked at Peabody who nodded his head.
-Yes-
-Fine, you two go to find the dress while I'll visit some places where we can celebrate our marriage, and we'll meet at this restaurant to see the catering stuff-he said planning everything perfectly
-Ok, see you, dad!-greeted Sherman going out with Jen
-Goodbye, Sherman! Take care of you!-said Peabody while they were leaving.

A marriage wasn't something really easily to plan or make. They've been resolving everything from it for the last two months, two weeks, three days, six hours and eight seconds, since he proposed Jen marriage. Of course it was a decision really hard to make and he thought about it thirty or forty times before doing it. But they've hanged out for more than a year (''a year, six months, a week, two days, seven hours and eleven seconds, for being exact'' thought Peabody)... They loved each other, so, there is no reason to be wrong. Moreover, Sherman needed a mother, or someone to be with his boy if something happen to him.


Sherman was walking through a wedding's dress shop with Jen, his future mother. They went through six shops without finding the best one for Jen.
-Jennifer Jason!-screamed a woman coming with a dress on her hands
-Hey-she said a little annoyed for her shouts
-I'm the boss of the shop and I must say that when I knew you –the famous historian Jennifer Jason- will come, I wanted to meet you!-
-Oh, thank you, but I will be ok and...-
-No, we have chosen the best dresses for you-she called some persons
-I want to choose it, so I don't need help-
-Ok, like you want-she said walking away a little angry because she refused her idea
-Wow! They really cared about ''important people''-commented Sherman
-''Important''?-
-Yeah, you're a historian and that makes you important-
Yes, Jen made her two wishes true: having a family and being a historian. How? Easily, she has a time machine. When Peabody discovered that being a historian was her dream (even when he didn't like historians at all), he supported her and insisted her in making her dream true. She showed the secrets better hid in the Present after travelling to the Past. Making her wish true: people now know what really happened in the past! And she became a little ''famous'' after discovering some kind of things, at least in New York.

After been looking a dress for two hours, Sherman started to feel a little tired. Jen noted that and she got an idea.
-So, Sherman?-
-Yes?-
-Now that we are going to spend a long time together, why don't we do a ''quiz'' to know us better?-
-A quiz?-asked the eleven years old boy starting to recover the interest.-What kind of quiz?-
-I don't know... About anything you want to ask me. We will be a family now on-she pointed.-I ask you something, and then, you ask me something-
-Got it-
-Fine, I'll start: which is your favorite food?-
-The special chicken with chips that my dad cooks-
-Cool, mine is spaghetti-
-Oh...-he started to jump happily.-My turn!-
-Ok-
-Which is your favorite age?-
-Good question, Sherman-she started to think.-Renascence-
-Mine is Troy-
-Ok...-a woman with a dress appeared. She gave it to Jen, but, even when she got into a fitting room, she continued with the quiz.-Which is your favorite color?-
-Mmm... Red-
-Mine is white-she screamed inside the fitting room
-Your favorite song?-
-I don't have a favorite one, almost every day I change it...-
-Your favorite song from today?-
Jen laughed.-Way back when by Grizfolk -
-My favorite one is Pompeii by Bastille-
Jen went out from the fitting room with a dress on. It was white with blue flowers in the upper part. Sherman liked it, but he knew she deserved something better. He said no with his head. So, the woman gave her another dress.
-Oh, favorite animal?-asked he before she got in.
-I think you could guess this one-
-Is it the dog?-
She smiled.-Exactly-
-Mine too!-

She got into the fitting room again, and they continue their quiz that was becoming really funny and interesting. For example, Sherman didn't know Jen's favorite place to spend holidays was Canada, because she liked snow. And she didn't know Sherman's first word was ''dada'' and his second one was ''Mr. Peabody''. While they were asking and answer questions, Jen proved six different dresses that they didn't like.

-When was your first kiss?(if you had it)-asked Jen inside the fitting room
-Switzerland, with Penny a year ago. When you traveled with us for second time to visit Einstein-
-Oh, I didn't know that-
-When was your first kiss with my dad?-
-A year ago, Jurassic age. When you were with Penny in the future and we followed Max-she finished putting on her seventh dress.-Ok, I'm ready to go out-
-I'll be right here-
Jen went out and Sherman almost dismay. She was beautiful, wearing a dress with golden embroidery in the upper part and a red bun. It was a beautiful dress, elegant, but not flashy. It was her dress; a perfect ''Jen'' dress.
-Wow, Jen! You're beautiful!-opined Sherman
-Thanks-
-I mean seriously, you're wow! My dad will die when he'll look at you wearing this one!-
-Is that good?-
-It's more than good! This is the dress you have to wear! No doubt, Jen! It's made for you-he said looking at her thoroughly
-Thanks, Sherman-she said smiling.-In that case, this will be my dress!-
-Good choice!-

After being searching in seven different shops a beautiful dress for Jen's marriage, Sherman and Jen found a perfect one. It was a perfect dress for ''Jennifer Peabody''. She really loved her new name, it was silly, but it was amazing being part of family, and remember it every time she says her name.
-Thanks goodness we found a perfect dress for you, Jen-added Sherman while they were walking to the restaurant where Mr. Peabody was waiting for them
-Yes, it's so beautiful... But remember, you can't tell your dad how is it like-
-Oh, yeah, because it's a surprise! Isn't it?-
-Exactly, Sherman-she confirmed smiling

Sherman looked down. There was something he wanted to talk about with her since his father proposed her in marriage. But he wasn't as brave as talk about it to her... Anyway, she was comprehensive enough to understand him. And after all the things they talked about that day... she could answer that question.
-Mmm... Jen, can I ask you something?-
-Sure! What?-
-Well, now you're going to get married my dad, right?-
-Aha-
-And, that means you'll become my... mother-
-Your stepmother actually-
-Stepmother sounds a bit devil-
-Yeah, you're right, stepmothers have a bad reputation-
-And... I've been thinking... If I... May I call you mom?-
Jen stood a little shocked because of that question. She passed a lot of things with Sherman and Peabody, but, she wasn't really sure if Peabody will be agreeing with Sherman calling her mom. Anyway, she really wanted him to call her that way. She loved him as if he was her son.
-Sorry-said Sherman when he saw her reaction
-No, you don't have to say sorry-
-But if you don't want me to call you in that way, it's fine-
-I want you to call me in that way, Sherman-
He turned his disappointed face into a big smile.-Really?-
-Of course!-
He gave her a warm hug to her and she gave it to him back.

Peabody was going to the restaurant when he saw Sherman and Jen hugging. He smiled. Luckily, Sherman liked his future wife very much. In fact, he was one of the first persons who said that he might propose Jen marriage. It's not surprising Sherman liked her. She's sweet, comprehensive and she has her mother's side (even when she can't have kids), which she used a lot the last year with Sherman. They had an excellent relationship.

Jen stopped hugging him when she saw Peabody.-Oh, hi! Were you spying us?-
-It will be a good idea to do it, but no, I'm not doing it yet-he added sarcastic.-So, why are you two hugging?-
-Jen allowed me to call her ''mom''!-screamed Sherman happily
-Is there something wrong with that?-asked Jen to Peabody
-No, of course than not. Why should be something wrong with that? You'll be his mother. Stepmother, actually-
-Stepmother sounds devil-added Sherman.-But she's a completely exception to that rule-
-I'm your stepfather, too, technically-
-Stepfathers don't have a reputation as bad as stepmothers-
-Mmm... Alright then-
-So, do you have any idea of what kind of cakes are we going to probe?-asked Jen
-The most delicious ones, of course-said Peabody
-Like chocolate? It's my favorite one!-
-Mine too, mom!-added Sherman
Jen felt really touched when he called her ''mom'', maybe because she really loved him as if he was her son or, perhaps, she thought she will never be called mom for someone (she's infertile). And now, she will become Sherman's mom and she will marry someone she loved, she will, finally, be part of a family. She hugged Sherman again.
When she dropped him off, Peabody touched her shoulder with a sweet look in his face, and that's when Sherman, almost crying, hugged to his father and his mother. The tree hugged there were, now, a family.


THE END

I hope you all enjoyed the story! Thanks for reading it!

I will post new stories about Jen and Peabody in 2 weeks (that will have a lot of Sherman's stories too)

And I'm thinking about a kind of ''Mr Peabody and Sherman 3''

Thank you for everything
