I apologize if this is rushed, but I wanted to post before the show tonight. The end is very adorable! Please leave a positive review!
Leonard just walked into 4B finding everyone else eating their food.
"How did it go?" Penny asked sitting on the chair.
He sighed walking over to her, "Still can't get an answer out of her. I have a feeling that somethings wrong."
"What's with Amy?" Howard asked.
Leonard answers, "She's kind of scared of people yelling and fighting. She was scared when Penny yelled after a huge misunderstanding yesterday. And I yelled when she accidentally set a hole in the floor in my lab. She couldn't take it and neither can Sheldon… And Bernadette, I think you yelling at your daughter kind of scared her off."
"Oh, I am very sorry," Bernadette says sadly. "I didn't mean to cause a scene."
"It's fine. It's just that Amy couldn't trust us. Something else must be on her mind…"
Raj says very gentle, "She'll come to you dude. Like I said, it takes patience."
"Told ya," Penny mutters with a wink.
"Maybe this has something to do with a traumatizing episode? Or something that has to do with her own family?"
Howard nods. "Raj is right." Bernadette and Anu agrees.
Everyone else sat in silence for a few minutes looking around the now empty apartment
"This apartment feels so… Empty." Bernadette says sadly.
Leonard looks around Shamy's apartment agreeing, "Yeah. I miss them."
"So sad that Sheldon and Amy aren't with us…" Howard says.
Penny's eyes are filled with tears. "I wish that there is something we can do about all this."
"We'll get them back," her husband said determined.
"But Leonard, it's a dead end. There's nothing we can do to fix this."
"Then what about the kids! I mean, what are we supposed to do? Send them back to their parents? Put them in a foster home? What the hell am I supposed to do!"
"Leonard! Language!" Bernadette exclaims pointing out that her kids are still with her.
He slowly calms down and sat down next to Penny . "I'm sorry. I just miss him. No matter how crazy or egoistic he is. He's still my best friend. And… This is just too much to handle."
Penny rubs her husband's back soothingly as everyone watches on sadly.
"What are we going to do? Now that we can't change them back?" Leonard asked an important question to everyone.
Howard answers it, "I have an idea. I'd say we hold a funeral… For their memories. If we keep them like this and not change them back to their adult selves. I'd say we box up their memories and place it somewhere special."
"… You're being serious Howard?"
"I am."
Penny then said, "Look, it was only one day since Sheldon and Amy turned into 5 year olds. But we'll see what happens."
Leonard sighs standing up. "Alright, listen, I'm going to call Sheldon's mother and tell her what happened so I think it's best that you all leave now so I can do it."
Understanding, everyone got up, cleaned, said they're goodnights and left. Penny and Leonard head back to 4A, and opened the door finding something quite adorable.
Sheldon and Amy had fallen asleep on the couch, sitting up and holding hands.
"Awwwww…" Penny whispers taking out her phone and taking a photo of the two. "So cute!"
Leonard smiled at the sight. "Why don't we leave them and go to bed?"
"Why don't we change them in pajamas first?" She asked and walks to the back and coming back with superman pajamas and a tiny nightgown with hearts on it.
Penny walks over to the couch and so gently, she pulls two hands apart before handling Amy first. She gently pulls off her shirt and put the nightgown on, and took her pants off. But Amy's eyes opened and gasped a little scared.
"Shhh, it's ok sweetie. It's me, Penny."
Amy nods having comfort wash over her in her presence.
"Lay down honey…" Penny coos and she lays down on her right side of the couch, her head on the pillow. Penny gently put a huge blanket over her as she drifted back off to sleep.
Now, it's Sheldon's turn. Very slow and quiet, Penny pulls his shirt off and puts the pajama top on him and the same with his pants. Surprisingly, he slept on during that. But when she gently pushes him to lie down, his eyelids open halfway and a little sound emit, "Huh?"
"Go back to sleep sweetie," she whispers as she pulls the other half of the blanket from Amy's side and putting it over him. But he was still awake observing this.
Penny whispers rubbing the child's shoulder, "Just relax and close those eyes sweetie. That's it." She soothes Sheldon as his little eyelids grow heavy once more.
She thought of something to help him go back to sleep.
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur… Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr…"
Wanting to know how she knew that's his favorite song, he tries staying awake, but he once again drifted to dreamland.
Leonard observed the whole thing. He whispers, "Wow… You're so… Good with them…"
She went over to kiss his cheek. "Yeah?"
"I bet you'll be a good mother someday… The option is still open you know," he says with a small smile on his face.
She rolled his eyes and the together the two walks to the bedroom for the night leaving the sleeping children on the couch.
