Nobel Laureate Sheldon Cooper meets someone from his past. Everything belongs to Lorre and Prady.
#######################
Seattle, June 2022. Sheldon has just finished giving a Public Lecture when he was approached by a middle-aged blonde haired lady.
"Thank you for the lecture Professor Cooper, do you remember me?"
"Well its Paige, fancy meeting you again, would you care for a hot beverage?"
Five minutes later in the coffee shop next to the University lecture theatre.
"Many congratulations on your Nobel Prize Sheldon, and thanks for not dumbing down the lecture."
"Thank you, it has been a while since I did one of these. Even though I am no great fan of public speaking it has been a relief to be able to do one of these again now we have finally got rid of Coronavirus. I got a bit sick of giving the talk to a video camera."
"How is your wife doing?"
"Well she is back home in California, six months pregnant with twins. We used to do these lectures together before Coronavirus but she isn't keen on travelling at the moment."
"That's understandable."
"I last saw you at East Texas Tech on November 3rd 1991, what happened to you Paige?"
"Well my mother remarried and we moved up to Washington State with my stepfather's work. When I turned 18 I came here to this University to study, majoring in maths and physics. I got married in my final year and I was pregnant with twin boys when I graduated. Three years later we had twin girls so my career has basically been soccer mom."
"Two sets of twins, can you give me any tips for looking after twins?"
"All you and your wife need to do is give up sleep, grow an extra arm or two and get eyes in the back of your heads so you can keep up with them!"
"As you said I didn't dumb down the lecture, how much of the science could you understand."
"Well I try to follow popular science the best I can. My two boys are both in their first years studying here and I would help them with their maths and science homework. I get a bit of extra money tutoring the children of my friends and neighbours. How is Missy and the rest of your family?"
"Missy is married with four children, she is still in Medford with my mother and my Meemaw. Georgie is a successful businessman selling car tyres all over Texas, he just got married for the third time. Sadly my father died in 1994, he never got to see me win the Nobel Prize."
"That's a shame, I don't see that much of my father these days but he is alive and well. It was good of you to acknowledge Dr. Sturgis in your lecture today."
"Yes, I regret not thanking him in my Nobel Prize speech, I wish he had lived to see me win the Nobel."
