Leonard and Penny loved their villa and the girls were in awe of it. They decided to go out that night for dinner. As the family was walking to their table, Nori took off in another direction. Penny went after her daughter who was charging towards another table. Penny was shocked by the table's occupants.
"Gwama! Gwampa!" Nori said with excitement.
Beverly and Alfred turned in shock to see their granddaughter. "Alfred? Beverly?" Penny was just as surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Alfred asked.
"We decided to take the kids on vacation and this place popped up."
"So, you're all here?" Beverly asked nervously.
"Yeah, and trust me when I tell you how horrible Leonard feels. He decided to give you some space though."
"Gwama and Gwampa eat with us?"
"Sweetheart, your grandma and I just finished, and grandma's back and knee are hurt so she has to rest. Penny, text, or call if you need to." Alfred helped his wife up and out of the restaurant.
Later that night, Alfred had run out to the car for something, "Dad?"
"Leonard?" Alfred turned to find his son.
"Penny told me you were here, but what are you doing here?" Leonard gestured at the resort.
"We're staying here," Alfred pointed at the villa he and his wife were staying at. "Let me guess, you're right next door?"
"Looks like it."
"I better get back inside. Your mother's back and knee are bothering her." Alfred and Leonard said good-night before returning to their villas. Leonard told Penny about his parents being next door, but Alfred decided it was best if Beverly didn't know right now.
Leonard texted his father asking if he could arrange for him to sit down with his mother to apologize to her.
"Honey," Alfred walked into the bedroom, "Leonard would like to apologize to you. How would you feel about that?"
"He's not going to yell at me?" she asked in a small voice.
"No, he feels terrible."
"Will you stay with me?"
"If you want me to."
"Okay, invite them over for breakfast."
Alfred did and Leonard accepted. The next day the only people who weren't nervous were Nori and Faith. Alfred let the little family in and took them to greet Beverly.
"Alfred, why don't you show the girls around?" Beverly suggested.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," she wasn't really sure, but she didn't feel the girls needed to be there.
"Penny?" Alfred asked.
"Sure, I wanna see if we got a raw deal," she joked as she and her daughters followed Alfred.
Leonard sat across from his mother. "I am deeply, deeply sorry for how I reacted at the crash site. I should have trusted you and I didn't. The police told us that the brakes and steering failed, causing the crash. I guess they also have cameras where you crashed because of underaged drinking going on there so much. They showed us the video, but I should have believed you. Instead, I blamed you and I didn't even believe Nori. I will understand if you can't forgive me, but I really hope you do."
"Thank you," Beverly responded, "it means a lot to me, and I do forgive you. I bet any parent would have acted in a similar manner if their child was missing."
"It's still no excuse," Leonard stood and went to hug his mother. When he did she winced, "sorry, did I hurt you?"
"My back is just tender still."
"I never did ask how you were after the crash."
"I just got banged up a little. Nothing too serious," she told her son. "Could you help me up? I'd like to go lie down on the day bed outside. My knee is still bruised." Leonard helped his mother up, "don't let go," she said feeling unstable. Leonard helped his mother outside and onto the day bed.
"Gwama get in too?" Faith asked.
"Grandma is going to lie down for a little bit, but I'll get in later."
"Okay," Faith smiled and went back to the pool.
"Leonard, go ahead and join them. I'll be fine and I have my phone with me. I promise to not get up unless someone is here."
Leonard hesitated, "okay," Leonard had worn his swim trunks over with a t-shirt on. He took the tee off and joined his family.
Beverly fell asleep and when she woke up, she found her granddaughters snuggled next to her. For Beverly, this was pure Heaven.
