The weekend went by pretty fast and it was Sunday night.

The kids were already put to bed and Leonard and Penny are in bed themselves but are still awake.

Penny looked on her iPad. "Hey honey, I'm thinking about taking the kids to Disneyland one weekend. Maybe even spend a few night in a hotel near there."

"Isn't that only over an hour away by car ride?"

"Yeah. It kind of is," Penny sighs. He looks at Leonard who's staring into space. "What's wrong Leonard?"

He answered, "I just can't stop thinking about Sheldon."

"Why?"

"He seems pretty upset and devastated about something. He's been like that since Friday. When we took him to the Aquaman movie, he was pretty quiet the whole night. We even tried treating him to some ice cream, he said no… Well, he claimed once he didn't want sugar after nine but he still said no. I asked him what's wrong but he said nothing is wrong. But clearly something is wrong." Leonard took a deep breath and laid down.

Penny sighs, "I think he misses his mom."

Thinking about it for the moment. He shrugged. "I guess. Well Mary is coming over a week from Tuesday. He should be excited."

"Why don't we get some sleep. We'll talk to him over breakfast tomorrow before going to daycare," Penny suggests and Leonard nodded.

"Ok." They both gave a peck on the lips, and bade goodnight to each other before settling down.

It was hours later and Leonard felt a tap on his arm and opened his eyes seeing Amy staring at him.

"Amy? What are you doing up so late?" Leonard asked groggily.

Amy gestures over to Sheldon who is in tears and sniffles.

He immediately sat up, reaching over to the nightstand to turn on the lamp and puts his glasses on. "Buddy? You ok?"

Sheldon shook his head as more tears fall and Amy rubs his shoulder in comfort and sympathy.

He looked over at Penny who is sound asleep. He gently shook her awake. "Penny? Wake up. We got company."

She mumbles waking up, "What's going on Leonard?" When she saw Sheldon she quickly sat up and turned on her lamp. "Sweetie, what's the matter?" She asked worried.

The boy didn't answer. His face is red and wet.

Leonard's arms reached over to Sheldon and picked him up and placed him on the bed in between Penny and himself before picking up Amy and placing her on his lap. The boy wrapped his arms around Penny and leans into her.

"What's going on? Why are you crying?"

Amy answered, "Shelly is upset because of what happened during daycare."

Penny asked, "What happened?"

Sheldon finally answers but hiccups, "Me and Amy were building a laser out of blocks and then this big kid who's older than us showed up and knocked it down. And then I was drawing a picture of me and the Star Trek characters in the enterprise and that same kid took my crayon and scribbled over my picture. During lunch, I was searching for my lunch box and I saw the same boy eating its and Amy had to share hers with me. And while I was reading a book, he took it and ripped the pages out of it. Later I asked him what is his problem. He answered with the question what is my problem. He called me a freak and told me that I don't deserve to live and nobody loves me. I don't know if that's sarcasm or it's true… It was just like back at home when I was in preschool just last year. A lot of kids picked on me and called me a weirdo that wasn't meant to exist…"

Leonard and Penny couldn't believe what they were hearing. Poor Sheldon has been bullied by another kid. The boy now couldn't stop crying. Penny pulls him into her lap and shushes him.

"Did the teacher or caretaker do anything about this?" Leonard asked very concerned.

Amy shook her head answering, "No. Whenever they're not looking, he hurt Sheldon. He told us if either of us blabbed, he'd put us in the closet." That last few words shook Amy as she had that experience.

"I don't believe this. Why didn't you two say anything before? We would've taken care it."

"We were but he threatened us," Amy replied feeling very sorry for her new brother. "I don't want to get locked up again in the closet like what my mother did to me."

Penny shook her head holding Sheldon tightly who's buried in her chest, wetting her shirt with tears. "This is the most disgraceful thing I have ever heard in my life."

Leonard pulls Amy into a hug and watched. He and Penny couldn't believe that Sheldon held his emotions in for so long that the damm finally broke.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Sheldon asked the two, his big blue eyes which are filled with tears. "Am I really a freak who wasn't meant to exist?"

"Oh sweetie," Penny pulled him in tighter. "Nothing is wrong with you. You are the most special kid we have ever met. You're very smart, talented and we are happy to adopt you."

Leonard agrees, "Yeah buddy and don't ever listen to what others say because no matter what, we will love you… And you too princess." His eyes went to Amy. "No one will lock you in the closet." The girl then snuggles into him.

Sheldon stopped crying and tiredly nestles into Penny and sucked is thumb which he does when only in distress.

"I'll tell you what. How about tomorrow, I'll call off work and come to watch what's going on at daycare," Penny suggests.

The kids nodded.

She sighed getting up from the bed with Sheldon in her arms. "Why don't I make you a nice cup of tea?"

"Why tea?" Amy asked confused.

She explained carrying Sheldon almost out of the room, "A friend once told me that when someone is in distress, you offer that someone a nice beverage." She takes Amy's hand and she jumps off the bed and they exit down the hallway. "How about I make you both some nice tea and then you both go to bed ok?"

Both nodded and Penny takes them to the kitchen.

After a nice and soothing cup of chamomile tea, both kids grew sleepy. Even Sheldon couldn't keep his eyes open as he's worn out from all the crying. They were both in their own beds and Penny tucks the boy and his koala in and gently sings to Sheldon who is out like a light. She gave him a kiss and left. After she shut the door. Amy took her monkey and went over to Sheldon's train bed and crawls in next to him like the past couple days when they sleep together in either beds.

Penny went back to their bedroom to lay down next to Leonard.

"I knew this was a bad idea," Penny said.

Leonard shook his head. "I don't know what kind of daycare they're running, but I don't like the way they're doing it… " He changes the subject. "Penny I just had this thought."

"Hmmm?" She looks at her husband in question.

"When Sheldon asked if something is wrong with himself… I was wondering if he was 'tested' yet."

Penny realized that too. "Oh my gosh Leonard. You're right. Maybe he wasn't."

"He's probably not. I guess we're gonna have to call Mary in the morning and- what are you doing?"

She already sat up holding her iPhone to her ear. She answered, "I'm calling Mary."

"Are you kidding me? It's like…" Leonard looked at the clock which read around midnight. "Around two in the morning in Texas!"

"I don't care! I want answers and I want them now." She hears a tired response on the phone, "Oh hello Mary… I want to ask you something important. Hang on, i'll put you on speaker." Then she puts her phone on speaker.

They hear Mary grumble, "This better be good. Do ya'll have any idea what time it is?!"

"We're very sorry for disturbing you so late Mary. Penny just want to tell you about Sheldon," Leonard apologized.

On the other line, Mary questions not amused, "What did he do now? I ain't got any time for this."

"I know, we're extremely sorry. But I need to ask you something important," Penny said desperate.

"What's so important that couldn't wait till mornin'?"

"Leonard and I are concerned about Sheldon. What age exactly sis you have him tested?"

"Oh I don't know… When he almost turned six," Mary answers with a yawn over the phone.

He then realized that Sheldon is still five years old meaning he hasn't been tested.

"Then that means he wasn't. Mary he was devastated. Some kid bullied him at daycare and he was wondering if something was wrong with him."

"Then I make an appointment with a doctor. But just to be safe, take him to a specialist after that! I still regretted not doing that though he's still my baby and I love him."

Penny then said, "Alright, thank you Mary. That's all we wanted to know. We'll let you go back to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight darlin'." And the line disconnects. She puts her phone on the night stand to charge for the night.

"I can't believe Sheldon wasn't tested yet," Leonard says taking off his glasses before turning off the lamp. "I'm gonna make an appointment first thing tomorrow morning,"

Penny turned off her lamp and joins him by laying her head on his chest. "And I'm gonna see what is up with that daycare."

He yawns after he kisses Penny on the head. "Alright then. Night Penny…"

"Night." She closed her eyes snuggling in his chest.

And it was silent for the rest of the night.
