A/N: I know this chapter is late, but since it is a New Year's chapter I wanted to post it close to New Year's. Thanks for the support and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Chapter 11
"How are you and Henry doing," asked Padma.
"Fine. Yesterday Dad gave Henry a look for kissing me on the cheek," said Melody.
"It's cute how he's over protective" said Katherine.
"Sometimes I think he's too over protective. He makes us sit on the couch with a cushion sized space between us" said Melody.
"He just wants his little girl to stay little" said Padma.
"I know. How are you and Armand doing" asked Melody.
"Amazing. My parents haven't done anything like yours though" said Katherine.
"You have Uncle Howard and Aunt Bernadette for parents. They were always going to be more lenient then mine" said Melody.
"And my parents don't count" asked Padma.
"They didn't freak out with Armand and Katherine" said Melody.
"They are more accepting than my grandparents, but they still have some of the traditional values" said Padma.
"I don't notice anything" said Katherine.
"Just because you haven't, doesn't mean you won't" said Padma.
"Enough about us, let's talk about you. We're all dating now. Why don't you join in the dating fun, Padma" said Melody.
"I don't think my parents could handle both of us dating people at the same time," said Padma.
"You're seventeen, you should start, get some experience" said Katherine.
"Melody shouldn't have a say, she didn't start until she was eighteen" said Padma.
"I could still give helpful advice" pouted Melody.
"I know. I just want to wait" said Padma.
"Well don't wait too long" said Katherine.
"I don't think I will" said Padma.
-o-O-o-
"How are we going to do New Year's" asked Howard.
"There's the party at the comic book store" suggested Raj.
"No. I am not leaving the kids here now that they're dating" said Sheldon.
"Get your panties out of a wad. They know better than to do anything" said Penny.
"They'll say one thing and do something else" retorted Sheldon.
"If other kids went to the comic book store I wouldn't mind, but no one does" said Amy.
"I think they're mature enough to leave them home" said Leonard.
"I agree, if we don't give them a chance we'll never know if they can handle it" said Bernadette.
"Fine, but if they cross the line what do you prefer, an 'I told you so' or a look of haughty derision" asked Sheldon.
-o-O-o-
Their parents were dressed up as the Avengers and ready to go to the party. "We'll probably be back by one" said Bernadette.
"We'll be fine mom" said Katherine.
"Trust us" said Henry.
"We'll see" said Sheldon. They left leaving the teens by themselves.
"What are we going to do" asked Padma.
"I was thinking pictionary. Henry and I found three white boards in the back of the closet" said James.
"Sure. How about couples for teams" suggested Armand.
"Melody and I will crush you all" said Henry.
-o-O-o-
"Dumbledore!" Shouted melody as she looked at Henry's drawing, which consisted of a man with a pointy hat, cloak and wand. Henry shook his head no and continued to draw.
"High heels" guessed Katherine at Armand's drawing of what did look like high heels. Armand shook his head no and added some more detail.
"Wizard of Oz" yelled Padma at James's picture of a pinafore girl walking down a path with a dog.
"Yes" yelled James.
"That's twenty nine in a row" said Padma.
"How did you get that out of Wizard of Oz" Melody asked Henry, waving her hands at their whiteboard.
"Wizard" stressed Henry.
"You guys suck at this. At least Armand drew the ruby slippers" said Katherine.
"Can we do something else" asked Melody.
"You just don't want to lose again" said James.
"No I'm tired" said Melody.
"Me too" said Padma.
"Let's watch the Avengers" suggested Armand.
"I'll pop popcorn" offered Katherine. They all moved to grab a spot, so they wouldn't have to sit on the floor.
-o-O-o-
"I'm glad we took cabs and left our cars at the apartment" said Raj.
"I still want to know who slipped Sheldon that drink" said Penny.
"That was me. He can get pretty frisky when he's had a few" said Amy who was supporting Sheldon as they walked up the stairs.
"You vixen" he slurred.
"Maybe you should punish me" said Amy suggestively.
"Maybe I will" said Sheldon giving her a seductive look.
"Please, we know you're both drunk, but that doesn't mean we want to hear about your sex lives" said Howard.
"Look who's talking" said Leonard.
"Can we spend the night at your apartment, I don't thing Raj or I are suited to drive" asked Emily.
"Sure, but it'll be either the couch or the floor" said Penny. Leonard took out his keys and opened the door. Their kids were sprawled out around the living room asleep as the avenger credits were rolling. Melody and Henry were snuggled up in Sheldon's old spot. Katherine was sleeping on Armand's lap in the chair. James and Padma were entangled with each other on the floor.
"It's so cute" said Bernadette.
"What is Padma doing on top of James" asked Sheldon.
"They probably fell off the couch" said Leonard as he and Penny went to their room.
"Where are we going to sleep" asked Raj.
"You can go up to Sheldon and Amy's apartment" suggested Penny.
"No way, not with those love bunnies" said Raj.
"Love Bunnies?" Said Sheldon confused.
"If you actually heard yourself you wouldn't be so confused" said Leonard.
"Oh no" said Bernadette and she ran to the bathroom.
"I better go in and hold her hair back" said Howard as he ran after her.
"Why don't we sleep in Henry's room? We promise no funny business" said Emily.
"I don't care. I just want to go to sleep" said Penny. Raj and Emily slipped pass the kids and went to Henry's room.
"I'm taking Sheldon back up to our apartment" said Amy.
"Be careful going up the stairs" said Leonard.
"I will" said Amy. Both couples left the living room as quiet as it was before they came in.
-o-O-o-
James woke up to sunlight streaming in from the window. His nose picked up the smell of jasmine. Odd, he thought. He was also aware that something heavy was on him. He opened his eyes and saw Padma sleeping on top of him. Shit
A/N: Katherine's name comes from the John Green novel An Abundance of Katherines. Yep, Nerdfighter. Have a Happy New Year!
