After the whole incident, Leonard drove the rest of the way to a large toy store.
Amy looks so excited, but Sheldon was so devastated he refused to even get out of the car.
He stopped the car and unbuckled the kids seat-belts.
"Sheldon, come out of the car," Leonard begs, "It's a toy store! You'll love it!"
"I don't want to." Sheldon sat there with his arms crossed, pouting.
He suggests, "You can ride in a cart?"
The boy shook his head very upset.
Think Leonard, think…
"I'm so sorry buddy. I didn't mean to say all these things. To make it up to you how about instead of five toys, why not eight? Whatever you want?"
Sheldon sniffles, "You said that you don't want to spoil us."
"I don't care about that. I just want you happy. Ok?"
The boy reluctantly nodded and climbed out of the car to head inside.
Meanwhile, in Penny's car, she and Mary have a conversation while she drives.
"Let me get something straight here," Mary began, "My Shelly is really a child?"
"Yeah. Without his own adult mind," Penny replied.
Mary shook her head in disbelief. "Normally Sheldon would act crazy, but I never expected ya'll to be!"
"Mrs. Cooper, he is a child, I promise! And Amy is too! They're both five years old!"
"I will not believe that once I see it," she said crossly. But then she got worried. "I tried calling Shelly before I got on the plane, he didn't answer."
Penny says, "You have to believe us on this one. Sheldon is unharmed, but he's now young and doesn't know who he really is now. We don't want him to know its you, otherwise he'll ask too many questions. They know they're in the future though."
She sighs going along with it now reluctantly, "If you say so."
Back at the apartment, Leonard and the kids had just returned from the store with many toys.
Amy got an Easy Bake Oven, a stuffed bunny with a yellow bow, a Barbie dollhouse with a doll included, a coloring book, a make your own aquarium kit, a deluxe kitchen playset, a toy shopping cart, and a baby doll. And Sheldon got two train sets, a toy chemistry set, a superman action figure, a telescope, a discovery book, a solar system mobile and a set of mechanical building blocks which got him excited.
Penny and Mary walked all the way up the stairs and said, "Just tell Sheldon that your only a distant relative of mine and wear the sunglasses I got you from the airport so you'll pretend to be blind."
Sheldon's mother look at her with a blank expression. "I ain't gonna do that."
"Oh please! Please please please!" She practically begs.
"Alright, alright! Lord…" Mary puts on sunglasses looking annoyed.
Penny says, "Just wait out here for a minute before I let you in. I'll tell Leonard your here." And she opened the door finding them playing with toys.
When she saw a lot of toys, she questions her husband, "Leonard! What is this?"
"Oh it's a long story. I'll tell you later."
She lets this slide. "Ok. You-know-who has arrived."
Leonard looked at her confused and said, "Best not to use 'you-know-who' because it refers to a bad guy who killed the boy's parents."
"Ok! The woman showed up. So Sheldon, Amy. I need you to meet someone." Penny went to the door, opened it and told Mary who's still wearing her sunglasses to come inside and sit down on the couch.
When she looks at little Sheldon, she gasped softly looking like she's about to cry. Her own son. He little boy is so… Small and very young. So it was really true.
"Penny? Why is that blind woman staring at me like that?" Sheldon asked curious and nervous.
Penny ignored that and introduced her to them using a fake name, "This is Molly Colins. She's a distant relative of mine from Oklahoma-"
But there has been a change in plans.
"Forget it darlin'. You both were right all the long!" Mary takes off her sunglasses revealing herself. "I don't like lying to my own son like that now he's a little boy again!"
Sheldon recognizes that face… Looks so much older than he remembers. But those eyes like his own.
"Mommy?"
"It's me Shelly."
And that was when he passed out yet again.
Alright, I am leaving this in a cliffhanger for a couple days. Till probably after Thanksgiving weekend I think. I'm sorry it's a little rushed, it's just that there's so much going on and my brain is fried.
Now the next chapter will be difficult because thats where they will reveal who they really are.
Also I'm thinking of writing a new story where Amy goes away for a few days and Sheldon hasn't slept much and everyone tries to help but in the end he realizes that Amy's the reason why he couldn't sleep. It's cute I know... And I'm a Shamy fan so I love stories like this. Should I write it in the meantime?
So please leave positive reviews!
