Chapter 31

"Half million," Sheen said shrugging. He wasn't entirely sure due to his mother immediately putting all but 10 into the bank.

Sliding in the bed next to Sheen Libby's eyes grew wide, "50,000 dollars! So we could live anywhere we want when we're married."

"Well… Jimmy has a new invention called House-In-a-Box that we'll have to use until we are actually old enough to be completely on our own. It's a cute lil poofy house that fits in our backyards even!"

"One of Jimmy's inventions," Libby asked suddenly not sure if she liked the idea. "Are you sure it's safe?"

"Well, it worked pretty good when I agrees to be Jimmy's very brave guinea pig for the test run of what could have ended up to be a potentially dangerous invention. It has these cool satellite thingymabobbers where you can see the person on the other side of the phone. Plus, everything is ran by a master computer so all you have to do is program voice command and all work from chores to food preparation is done for you!"

"Sounds kind of neat," Libby said hesitantly.

"Well, I made you really miserable and all. But that was only because you kind of… scare me." Jimmy said looking over at Danielle who was hugging a teddy bear and appeared to be asleep.

"Why's that?" Cindy asked curiously.

"Because," Jimmy sighed, "I had just received the award for the smartest kid in the school, and then I met you. In a way I thought you were smarter than me for a while. Actually, at the time my IQ had been at Einstein's and, and then you came around and I became even smarter."

"I scared you?" Cindy asked laughing and raising her eyebrows.

"Yea, you scared me, but only for a day or two."

"You said for a while!"

"Fine," Jimmy confessed, "The first two months all I could think about was how to stay the smartest against you."

"You're kidding me! My IQ has never been over Edison's!"

"Really," Jimmy said in disbelief, "Imagine that… I fell in love with a girl whose IQ was the same as the guy I've always admired."

Cindy 'hmmed' and put Cimmy back in sleep mode, "Danielle, sweetie, good night."

"Night Mommy, night Daddy," Cindy and Jimmy both smiled happily at being called 'mommy and daddy.'

"Sweet dreams, angel." Jimmy said just as Danielle bounced in between her 'parents.'

"Night, Sweetie" Cindy said rolling her eyes, slightly annoyed that a toddler was between her and Jimmy.

Jimmy rolled over onto his side facing both Danielle and Cindy. Man, that kid is cute… even if she's not really ours! Jimmy kissed Danielle's forehead and went to sleep.

"Daddy, Daddy, wake up!" A little girl's voice whispered and whined in Jimmy's ear. Jimmy rolled onto his back and blinked a few times. "I don't feel very good. My tummy hurts and Cimmy," Danielle said, once again pronouncing it as 'Kimi,' "says my tempmature is 101.5."

Oh, wonderful… "Cindy, honey, we have a little problem."

Still asleep Cindy yelled out, "4562! That's the answer! I KNOW it is!"

"Cindy, Wake up! I don't mean a math problem."

"Huh?" Cindy said tiredly. "What's wrong?"

"Danielle's sick."

"What do you mean she's sick?"

"She says she has a stomach ache and a fever."

"You have got to be kidding me! Well… what are we supposed to do?" Cindy said, with absolutely no idea as to how to deal with a sick child.

"You're asking me? I thought you were the mom!" Jimmy said kind of jokingly.

"Yea, and I though you were the genius." Cindy said, also a joking edge in her voice.

"Wait a second… why don't we just read the manual!" Jimmy said brilliantly.

"That sounds like a genius idea… except."

"Except what," Jimmy asked, not seeing his mistake?

"Dolls don't get sick, she was originally a doll."

"True… think… think… think… brain blast!"

"What?"

"What does your mom do to you when you are sick?"

"Stick me with five-million needles! What does yours do to you?"

"Well, my mom makes me chicken noodle soup and give me some medication." Jimmy said.

"That may work. Then again, we could just take her to the doctor's because it's free."

"Good idea!" Jimmy exclaimed kissing Cindy quickly, then turning to Danielle he said, "Danielle, get dressed, we're going to get some help."

Danielle obediently got herself dressed into a green and pink striped shirt with pants that were yellow with purple polka dots on them. While she did that Jimmy and Cindy also got dressed into their usual clothes and called for the limo. About ten minutes later the Neutron clan piled into the limo. "To the Doctor's office please."

"Libby, time to get up," Sheen said whispering into Libby's ear.

"Hmm," Libby yawned tiredly.

"I called my dad, he said that he'd love to see us if we can get there an hour before opening."

"When's that?" Libby asked sitting up.

"An hour from now," Sheen said, not seeing a time scrunch at all.

"Great! Are you telling me I have an hour to get ready to meet your dad?" Libby asked hopping out of the bed and rummaging through her five suitcases of junk for a good enough outfit.

"Don't sweat it, we only need like… fifteen minutes max." Sheen said. "Here, it's my Ultra-son backstage pass. I have an extra incase I loose one. You'll need that to get in." Sheen said as he tossed it to her.

"Thanks!" Libby said catching it and sliding the lanyard over her still Egyptian-princess styled hair. "Are we bringing Samuel?"

"Yea, I told him about that and he's excited to meet his 'grandson.' "

"Ok then. Samuel, wake up." Libby said nudging her 'sons' shoulder.

"But I'm still exhausted!" Samuel said clear-as-crystal and rubbing his eyes.
