That night their sister Missy had heard what happened and called to make sure everything was alright. Missy smiled genuinely at him.

"Hi Shelly! I miss you!" She said brightly. "Its good to hear from you! Hows George"

"Hello. He's fine." Sheldon said evenly. "How is your prodigny?" He asked directly.

"My what?"

"Hows Albert?" He said forcefully - trying to keep his patience in check.

"Oh! He s good, the doctors said hes fine. They gave him all these crazy IQ tests and stuff, turns out – hes like got an really high IQ – just like you do." Missy chuckled as if it were a funny anecdote. "How weird is that?" She shook her head.

"Remarkable. " Sheldon said smiling at the thought. "May I speak with him?"

"Sure. Hold on. "

"Albert honey, Uncle Shelly wants to talk to you."

A small three year old feathery black haired boy, who could barley see over the table peeked into the screen. He sat in his mothers lap and grinned at the screen.

"HI Unca Shelly." His Uncle Sheldon had always been able to make him laugh and his bright blue eyes lit up when he saw him on the screen in front of him.

Sheldon cleared his throat uncomfortably. His eyes darted to the couch where Leonard and Penny smirked."

"Youll address me as Uncle Dr Cooper" Sheldon corrected.

"Ok Unca Shelly." He said smiling. "I saw the doctor today. " Albert said proudly. "He says he knows you."

Sheldon sat back a bit surprised. "Dr Morris is still alive?"

Missy chimmed in. "Yeah hes like million years old - but he said you were still his favorite test subject." She smiled warmly.

Sheldon's chest rose in pride. "Im not surprised." He said. "Im amazing." Sheldon was very pleased with himself.

Leonard, George and Penny all rolled their eyes in unison.

George popped in the screen. Sheldon grunted at his indifference to Sheldon's personal space. "Hey buddy!" He said waiving to Albert.

"Hi Unca Georgy."

"Hey Miss - Hows Mom?"

"Shes good, she's right here." Missy turned over her shoulder. "Hey Momma, Shelly and Georgey on the computer…" She called

"Say bye bye Albert." She said "Bye Unca Shelly Bye Unca Georgy."

"So long pal. Ill see ya later. Be a good boy fer yer mama." George said warmly

"I will nighty night."

"Go get yer PJS on sweety." Missy said kissing his forehead.

Albert scurried off screen. "Night mom"

"Hi Baby." Sheldon's mother appeared on screen.

"Hi Mom." He said with a reserved smile. "I understand my nephew is to quote my sibling here, 'Just like I was.'

Shelon's mom grinned. "Yep." She said in her quiet held tougne. "Hes a doll, but … hes a handful." She said with a strained look. Trying to change the subject she said "Im glad to see you boys getting' along." Mary said warmly. "I wish yer dad could see this. Hed never believe it."

"Yes, weve buried the hatchet as it were." Sheldon said to his mother, both pleased and annoyed.

"So whats new Shelly? Did you make up with Amy?"

Sheldon found a wide grin on his face he didn't remember putting there. "yes, were back together, and couldn't be happier."

"Ill say." George smirked and Sheldon nudged him in the ribs.

"Ow! Jerk"

"Move!" Sheldon grunted. "You're on my side."

"You move."

"No you." George elbowed Sheldon

"I was here first." Sheldon said triumphant.

"Was not"

"Was too."

Was not. Was not Was not."

"Was too!"

"Boys! Dammit! Don't make me have to separte you two!" Mary Cooper became cross.

"Yes ma'am!" Both men said and bowed their heads in submission.

"Sheldon, why don't you bring Amy to the family reunion next month? I know the rest of the family is dying to meet this girl of yours! Your Meemaw cant stop talking about it."

"Ill ask her." He said thoughtful.

"And Georgey – did you handle all the stuff you needed to?"

George became sullen. "Well sorta. Turns out I gotta sign some papers and talk to a lawyer or somethin''"

"Well Im glad your still with your brother, hes good at that stuff, aren't ya Shelly?" She said fondly. "Why don't you go with him to talk to the lawyer so he don't get ripped off."

"Awww Mom, do I have to?"

"Sheldon….you help youre brother with his deevorse. He cant afford a fancy lawyer so make sure you look at his papers"

Sheldon sighed heavily. "Fine…"

"And George make sure Shelly says his prayers."

George rolled his eyes. "Yes Ma'am."

"Now you boys behave yourselves. Ill talk to ya soon. Bye Babies I love ya."

Sheldon threw a dirty look at George. "Love you too. Bye mom." Sheldon said closing his laptop.
