The day after Meemaw had walked out Elizabeth had expected it too be awkward.

Mary had mentioned that they would all be spending the day preparing for Sheldon's birthday while he kept Melody occupied and had a catch up with his sister who would be arriving that morning.

Missy and her son Layton were very welcoming towards Elizabeth and Layton was over joyed when he saw Melody. He may be older but he enjoyed playing with her either way and Melody enjoyed the company.

Elizabeth and Mary had been in the kitchen most off the morning. Mary showed her how to make several of Sheldon favourite recipes all while telling her stories from his childhood.

While Sheldon was in the living room talking to Missy he couldn't help smiling every time he heard Elizabeth laughing with his mother.

"Where's Meemaw? I thought she would have been the first here." Missy said.

"She accused Elizabeth off being a cheater but when she explained what really happened I think Meemaw got embarrassed." Sheldon explained.

"So she's sulking?" Missy asked.

"I don't know probably. Just don't mention it around Elizabeth. She was afraid Meemaw wouldn't like her."

"I won't. So how's things going with you too?" She asked.

He blushed. "Good." He replied shortly.

"Amy good?" She asked skeptical.

"Better." He replied smiling.

"How so?" Missy asked.

"I'm not completely sure. While I was with Amy I always felt I had to do things to please her. I always felt like she expected something from me even when I had given her all I could. With Elizabeth I don't feel that way. She never asks for anything not even a hug or to hold hands. She always waits for me to "make the move." She's very patient. There are odd times when she will kiss me on the cheek or hug me but she seems to know when it's comforting or when I want her to do it." He explained.

Missy stared at him wide eyed. "I never actually expected you to tell me anything." She said.

"You asked so I did."

"Yeah maybe so but you don't usually tell me about your feelings or what not with Amy."

He shrugged. "I've changed."

"I can see." She said still shocked. "For the better though." She added.

"I know. I just need to sort things out with my friends again and everything should be okay."

Missy nodded. "How is Penny and everyone?" She asked.

"They were good for a while but after my visit at New Year everyone seems to be arguing. The last I heard Raj had broken up with Emily and Penny and Amy had a huge argument which led to them not talking and Bernadette is in the middle. Penny wants her to be on her side but so does Amy." He explained.

"Wow...do you talk to them all or just some?"

"I talk to Leonard mostly through text and oddly Howard, he's usually the one to send me "the gossip''." He said.

Missy chuckled. "What about Amy? Do you talk to her?" She asked.

"No, I haven't spoken to her since New Year. I'm not sure there is much left of our friendship."

"She's married now though isn't she?" She smiled.

"Actually they are getting a divorce. She came to visit me in New York without even telling her husband which of course upset him, they argued and she admitted she still loved me, leading to them getting a divorce. They hadn't even been married a year." He explained.

"Blimey!" She chuckled.

That's when the front door opened revealing Meemaw.

"Hello Moonpie." She said in a cheery voice. "Hello Missy." She smiled.

"Good morning Meemaw. How are you?" Sheldon asked.

"Very well thank you. Is your mother and Elizabeth in the kitchen?" She asked.

He nodded slowly and watched as she went to the kitchen.

Missy and Sheldon both looked at each other expecting some shouting however none came.

They shrugged and went back to their conversation.

"Does it bother you that she had a kid with your child hood bully?" She asked.

He shook his head. "Not at all."

Missy just nodded. "I'm glad you could talk to me properly without using all those fancy big words. It was nice."

"I agree it was."

It wasn't often he spoke to his Sister without it ending in an argument. He actually felt almost relaxed being able to answer her questions without hiding his feelings behind words she wouldn't understand.

"Sheeeell!" Melody called grumpily.

He held his arms out and she climbed up into the couch with him.

"She's a cutie." Missy grinned as Melody snuggled against his chest.

"And the best part? She isn't icky." Sheldon said.

"I think you spoke too soon." Missy chuckled.

"What- oh my!" He exclaimed.

"Shelly she's peed on you!" She said laughing out loud.

"Missy help me!" He begged but Missy was laughing to hard to reply or do anything. "What do I do? She's fallen to sleep!" He hissed.

"What's going on in here?" Mary asked.

Missy was almost on the floor laughing.

"She's peed on me and fallen to sleep." Sheldon said.

"Well go clean her up." She tutted. "Men." She said as she walked back into the kitchen.

"Pass her here. Where's her changing bag." Missy asked.

"Ew, ew, ew." Sheldon cringed. "By the door."

Missy took Melody and the changing bag and cleaned her up.

"What am I suppose to wear now!" He groaned as he peeled off his flash shirt and undershirt.

"Woah Sheldon!" He heard Elizabeth say as she came into the lounge.

He squeaked in surprised and attempted to cover his body with his arms.

She chuckled.

"Where's Melody and why are you stripping in your mothers lounge?"

"Missy is changing and cleaning her up. She peed on me."

"I told you if she needed a diaper change to call me." She huffed.

"She was playing. I didn't want her to get upset."

She crossed her arms. "Would you like to sit in a dirty diaper for hours?" She asked.

"No." He said looking down at the floor.

"That's what I thought. You only had to call me. It would have taken two minutes tops and then you wouldn't be half naked." She grinned.

He huffed. "What should I wear now?" He asked.

"Well for me you could stay like that all day." She heard him gasp. "However if you check the changing bag there is actually a spare t-shirt for you."

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah I always have a spare shirt handy for myself in case Melody messes one so I thought you could need one too. Seems I was right. " she chuckled.

"All done." Missy said as she came. "Oh sorry." She giggled.

"It's okay. I need my shirt out of that bag." Sheldon said.

Missy giggled and passed him the bag before laying Melody on the couch and let her sleep before going to the kitchen.

"Meemaw apologised." Elizabeth said as he straightened his shirt.

"Good. I'm glad she did." He replied.

She smiled. "I best get back to helping them." She said.

"Okay." He said. He stepped forward and put his arms around her shoulders and have her a quick hug.

"I didn't need comforting but thanks." She smiled.

"I wasn't hugging to comfort you. I did it because I wasted to." He said.

Her smiled widen and he blushed.

"I don't want to just get use to it. I want to enjoy it too." He said.

She nodded. "I understand." She replied before going back to the kitchen.

He smiled and sat down on the couch in between the two sleeping children.

OOC I know but I used the conversation with Missy as a way for you to find our what's going on back in Pasadena and in his big old mind.
