Special Thanks to: Sophie The Shipper, not only for writing amazing stories, (You need to check them out) but also for giving me this idea to expand on the story.
Here is the second 'Season' if that's what you would call it.
Episode 1 - The Question Dissolution
Halley begins to take an intrest in science and has many questions set out for her father and uncles.
"Daddy?" The young girl asked, getting her father's attention.
Her father rose his head to the sound of his daughter's voice. After noticing that it was still dark outside, he buried his face in to the pillow again, hoping she hadn't seen him.
"Daddy, wake up. I have a question to ask you." She muttered.
Howard angrily lifted his head again, before taking his phone off the bedside table. The light immediately filled the room as he felt the burning sensation in his eyes.
"Halley, it's three-thirty in the morning! What are you doing up?"
"I told you, I have a question." She smiled.
"Okay, what is it?"
"Why has chlorine got an atomic mass of thirty-five-point-five?" She asked.
"Because one of the protons is cut in half." He said without thinking.
Halley thanked her father, before leaving the room, quietly shutting the door behind her in reason not to wake her sleeping sister.
"Did you just tell Halley that one of the protons is cut in half?" Bernadette questioned, lifting her head up.
"Uh-huh." Howard mumbled, his head buried into his pillow.
"Why would you say that?" Sheldon questioned, having heard about Howard's answer to Halley's question the night before.
"It was three-thirty in the morning. I had only slept half-an-hour. I was tired, and I wanted to sleep." Howard snapped, having already explained it twice.
"I know, but you being tired doesn't make it right." Sheldon informed, only to have everyone in the apartment, minus the children, glare up at him. "Well, it doesn't." He added.
Penny continued to hold Ben against her, whilst Leonard continued to lay out the food on the coffee table. After he had finished, she placed the unhappy four-month-old down on the floor next to his twin brother.
"Hey, look it's the newly engaged couple." Amy smirked, her voice sounding a little tipsy. "How many of these have I had?" She questioned, looking down at her wine glass and then back up at Penny.
Penny didn't answer, she just nodded and took the glass out of her hand, like she did with Sam whenever he had grabbed something of Leonard's.
Raj wheeled over Leonard's office chair and allowed Rayna to sit down, before joining the two older Wolowitz children on the floor.
"Sheldon, I'm surprised that you're not freaking out about there being children in the apartment." Bernadette smiled, moving her knees up and down to entertain her youngest daughter.
"I've got used to arriving here knowing that there would be children in the apartment. You've been bringing your oldest with you since they were born."
"Our oldest has a name." Howard sneered, before ruffling Benjamin's hair as the young boy sat by his feet.
"Uncwe Sheldon?" Halley asked, walking up towards Sheldon's spot on the couch. "What made Mendeleev better than the other person?"
"First of all, the other person was John Newlands, and secondly, I believe Mendeleev stole the idea of the periodic table."
"He didn't steal it, He took it and adapted it." Rayna smiled.
"Oh, then that makes it okay." Sheldon smirked, before continuing with his food.
"Does that answer you question?" Leonard asked, making Halley turn to him.
"Not really." Halley sighed, shaking her head.
Sheldon slowly helped Amy through their apartment door. He had been keeping count of how many drinks she had drunk that evening, and was currently at sixteen.
What he didn't understand was why she decided to intoxicate herself. 'Was it because of work? Was it because she was undergoing a type of brain abnormality in a part that effected her frontal lobe? Or maybe it was because of his previous remark to procreate?' These were all questions he was asking himself as he helped his stumbling wife towards the bedroom.
"Amy, why did you drink so much tonight?" Sheldon questioned, before placing his hands out to catch her in case she fell.
"I have never noticed how blue your eyes are." She mumbled, accidentally changing the subject without thinking, whilst gazing fondly into his eyes.
"Amy, please answer my question first." He pleaded, desperate for an answer. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep without one.
"Right, Right." She began, slowly dropping herself on the end of the bed. "What was your question again?" She asked, just to cause Sheldon to look around the room in his normal fashion.
"Why did you drink so much?" He repeated, more than hopeful she would give him an answer.
Amy cautiously looked around the room, trying to think of the answer herself. "I don't know, it was a one-night thing, I promise. It won't happen again." She smirked, making it come across as if she had accidentally slept with someone else.
"Okay, let's get you to sleep." Sheldon insisted, with a tiny smile on her face.
"I got to sleep. But promise, you'll be here when I wake up." Amy pled, whilst slowly moving herself closer to her pillow.
"I promise." Sheldon nodded, before switching off her side lamp.
Howard was starting to get cross with Halley, as he was trying to get her to sleep for the past hour, but she kept resisting. With every question he answered, she always seemed to have another one set out.
"Halley, I'm begging you, please just go to sleep." Howard sighed, trying to keep quiet as Reuben was already fast asleep.
"One more question." Halley pleaded as Howard swung his head back.
"No, that can wait until morning." Howard mentioned, hoping that she actually drop the question.
Halley ignored her father and continued to ramble on. Howard subtly grabbed his phone out of his back pocket. He began playing the song that always seemed to put her to sleep, ever since she was born. The young girl stared at her father as he began singing.
"Daddy, I'm too old for that. I'm almost in Kindergarden." She pointed out, causing Howard to stop the music.
Howard smiled at his daughter, as she dropped her head against her pillow.
"Good night, Dada." She smiled, lifting her head slightly.
"Sleep tight." Howard beamed, reminiscing about when Halley was much younger.
He watched Halley place her head back down and close her eyes before he quietly shut the door, leaving his two eldest children happily dreaming in the dark room.
Please review and let me know what you think about another 'season!'
