6: Connections
July 9 2019 Pasadena California.
"How long is she going to take." As I waited impatiently in the lobby for the arrival of my wife so we could go watch the new Spider-Man movie my mind went over how much has changed in our lives since we claimed the Nobel prize. Raj is in a whirlwind romance with Sarah, Howard has been restarting his process to get his doctorate all the while taking charge of his family.
"Hey Sheldon…"
Sure enough, the other story arrived now as I could see Penny coming back after a long day at her job. Maternity ragelia was now in fill swing for her.
"Hello, Leonard's already upstairs…"
"Then who are you seeing Far From Home with?" Can't believe how smarter that baby is making her, will stink when that goes away in a few months.
"My wife obviously, I mean Leonard's been so occupied with getting ready for your impending arrival he's barley seen me outside of our weekly get-togethers."
Penny looked at me and happily sighed... "Man you two."
"Us two what?"
"Its like ever since you won that Nobel prize, your relationship has progressed so much further. I mean Look where you were when the decade began."
"I was trying to figure out the plot of Inception?"
"No, before Amy you were your normal annoyingly loveable self. Took you guys 8 years to get married and yet it seems as though you've been married for 15 rather than just one."
That got me to smile as I could now get a glimpse outside the lobby doors revealing the beauty of my wife, although I do miss her old look, the feverish passion as which she now dedicates her new training team at the university is something worth rewarding. Her hand reached for the door and I reached for her face in a quick and passion filled embrace. Penny mouthed at me letting me know when to let loose and I let it go.
"Hey you've been waiting long?"
"No, just talking with the mom to be…"
"Oh speaking of which, Baby Shower for the 4th of October?"
I sighed in distaste letting Amy know to change her answer.
"Ok, the 5th?"
"What's wrong with the 4th…"
"That's when the new Joker movie comes out."
Her pregnant body sighed for two and looked at me with a bit of leniency. "Wasn't Leto still the Joker?"
"No Joaquin Phoenix."
We walked off into the street but as we were reaching her car, something suddenly stopped within Amy.
"Amy?"
She sighed all flustered, but this needed to be pressed further. "What's wrong…"
"Nothing it's just…"
"Amy…You know the rules…"
She sighed again annoyed that I brought it up but could tell from my worried look that she had to explain herself.
"Yes, Article 4…Personal issues, If I sigh in front of you and you determine something to be wrong, I have to let you fix it…"
"Now…"
"Have you been having weird dreams lately…"
"One or two, none of which concern me…"
"Well, for some reason, you remember that initial first month after we broke up?"
"Actually I don't, The only things I remember from that space were the Fun with Flags I did without you, and then my trip with the guys to Feyman's home in Mexico in his rusted out van."
"Yes, that's just it, a month from our lives just seems to be gone."
I held her hands to my face as a sign of comfort. "Amy, that was 4 years ago, back when I had zilch clue on how to be who I am now why does that matter?"
"I've been having flashes, like glimpses from that whole month in dreams for the past few weeks. It seems like you had an assistant…"
"You're talking about Alex?"
"No this wasn't Alex, it was someone different. I think she lived with President Seibert…"
I hugged my wife again to calm her down and pump her full of reasurence. "There is nothing that will keep me from ever ceasing my love for you."
She sniffled but smiled as we got in her car.
"But there is one question…"
"Yeah?"
"Miku or Itsuki?"
"Im thinking Yotsuba actually…"
"Yostsuba why…" Always a good thing when we get into a discussion on who the bride will be as we drove off. Somehow this ended up being one very long topic we've been going on and on about ever since March.
15 Minutes later.
"Mom I'm Home…"
"Hi, everything went ok today…" Mom quickly greeted me at the door while I went into standard procedure with my vital checks.
"Yeah, no Sarada and I actually had a couple of the guys ask me about her... Somehow my getting the weird stalker made me interesting at least for the past few days."
Mom flashed a rare smile at me knowing that at least I was making some contact. "That's good, at least."
While sitting down and getting my blood drawn, I looked over at the photo of Mom and I from 9 months ago. Hard to believe I was ever that small, pretty soon we'll almost physically be the same age, than I don't know what will happen after that.
"Sayuri…Can you hold still…"
"Oh sorry…"
While I saw the ever familiar blood come out of me, my mind then focused to an odd thing I did want to bring up to Mom.
"I stopped, by the way…"
"Stopped what…"
"You know how, my problems have me unexpectedly growing 5 inches in the middle of the night?"
"Yes, luckily the Hokage and a few others around the area donated plenty of clothes for the situation."
"But, ever since Sarada came to class, and I've been seeing her, its stopped completely, I don't feel myself growing faster."
That caused her to stop and rub my head in her lovingly reassuring matter. "No matter how long you live on this world one thing will never change…"
I sighed in defeat, I may be 9 months old but teen angst is flowing through me, but I nodded in earnest.
"I'm always your daughter…"
A small peck on the forehead occurred as she told me I was finished allowing me to wash up. As I saw her clean up, I got a glimpse of the pictures on the way to the bathroom. All of them show me aging, all within the past 9 months, I know I'm not long for this world but at least I want to know one thing before I depart.
"Who am I?"
The bathroom door was closed within 15 seconds of me walking in.
