HEY YA'LL! Sorry for the wait! I've been busy with stuff and will still be busy for awhile. I just got back from the retreat I went on. (I had allergies and my roommate who is also TBBT fan sang Soft Kitty while I was in my bed :) Turns out I have work another month :( .
I went to see Be More Chill on BWAY and it was amazing! I totally recommend it! I'm seeing a lot of shows in a couple weeks. I'm seeing Aladdin on BWAY, Hadestown on BWAY, I have a concert to see and I even got a ticket to see TBBT Rock Musical Parody OFFBWAY which should be fun. I'm also going to fundraisers as well since i'm going to Bermuda and Puerto Rico this summer! WOOHOO!
But don't worry! I haven't given up on writing! I'll try to keep on going in the meantime.
ANYWAYS... I just want to let you all know that I don't own the song in this chapter. It's "You and I" from "Pretty Woman" the musical. Look it up and be sure to look up the edited version of that song.
And finally, Please leave positive reviews and enjoy! Also send some ideas if you have any so I can continue on!
It's now morning and Sheldon and Amy are now eating pancakes Mary made for them. She is on the phone with Leonard who is very relived that the kids are now safe and unharmed.
"Ok. I will do that. Thank you Leonard. We'll see ya'll soon. Bye." With that Mary hung up the phone.
Amy asked a little scared, "Do we have to go back?"
She answers, "We have to darlin'. Leonard and Penny are both worried about you and want you back."
"But they don't want us," Sheldon says sadly.
"Of course they do honey, they really do! They want to adopt you and I am going to let them… I know you really want to stay here with me Shelly, and you too Amy. But it's best that you both return to Pasadena. I'll still come and visit you. I promise. For now I'm taking you both back on the train and back home."
Sheldon and Amy looked at each other knowing that his mother is right and never lies.
Back in 4A, Leonard looked on his laptop watching a video he somehow saved a long while back.
"Sheldon! Don't use that camera! Sheldon! Sheldon!" He heard himself yell as his former roommate broke out into a run while laughing and the camera gets bumpy and bouncy as he runs.
Leonard smiled. He had never though these were good memories. He kept replaying the video a bunch of times and Penny shows up with a cup of coffee.
"Watching your old best friend?" She asked a little cheerful while giving him a cup.
He nodded taking it. "Yeah… It's just so hard to accept the fact that Sheldon isn't here anymore. And now he's gone."
"I know. I miss him too. I miss the both of them," Penny said laying her head on his shoulder.
"And with poor Amy gone too…" Leonard starts but trails off putting his head in his hands. "What have I done?"
Penny then wrapped her arms around him tightly and kisses him on the head comforting him as they continue watching old videos from Sheldon.
Hours later the sky grew dark and everyone arrived and sat to eat Thai food while they ended up watching the wedding video of Sheldon and Amy on the tv screen.
"They look so adorable," Anu gushes to her fiancé who takes her hand.
"They do," he replied.
On the video, Sheldon announces taking the microphone, "Excuse me everyone! I would like to dedicate this song to the love of my life. I love you Amy Farrah Fowler-Cooper! My vixen!"
"He calls her that a lot?" Howard asked Leonard and Penny who either answered, "Yes… Even not in a physical relationship back then.
On the video, Raj and Howard who were "The Footprints On The Moon" got the instruments and started to play. The music starts to play and a melodic voice slips out out of the groom's mouth, on pitch and perfect tone.
"Darling, you look beautiful tonight…
I can't remember ever seeing anything so right…
In the magic of the moment, there's no place I'd rather be…
I see the wonder of the world through your eyes...
To have you here beside me makes me realize…
Everything is different, everything has changed inside of me…
You and I, we've got something going on…
You and I, how could this be wrong?
Who'd believe that we could catch the wind before it's gone?
Only you and I…"
While watching, Penny started to cry while Leonard tries wiping away the tears. Raj couldn't stop sobbing while Howard, Bernadette and Anu couldn't stop watching with tears as well.
"Another way you feel when you're near...
If I could be anywhere, I'd want to be right here…
It's never met an end, I could spend forever in your arms…
Oh, you and I, much to my surprise…
You and I, it was right before my eyes…
I would give almost anything - the stars, the moon, and the sky…
All for you and I…
I wasn't waiting for a miracle…
I just wanted somewhere to belong…
It's amazing what could happen when you're makin' all good plans…
But how was I to know you were right here all along?"
Just then there was a knock on the door and Penny opened revealing Mary with little Sheldon and Amy.
"Oh thank goodness!" She cries out and kneels down to the kid's level to hug both of them tightly who hug back. More and more tears escape from her eyes happily. Leonard rushed over after seeing the kids at the door and hugged them both as well. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed that the kids are now home, safe and sound.
He asks while hugging, "Are you two alright?"
"Fine," said Amy with a smile happy to be back with them.
"We're good actually," Sheldon says nodding in agreement as he hugged Penny again.
While it was all happening, the wedding video continued to play with Sheldon still singing the song.
"Darling, you look beautiful tonight…
I can't remember ever seeing anything so right...
Like a vision in the darkness...
A sight for lonely eyes to see…
You and I…
I always want to feel this way…
You and I…
On any other day…
I might have missed the moment, now I just want to stay…
Together, you and I…
Forever, you and I…"
On the video, many cheers and cries of joy are heard as the bride bursts into a blubbering mess. But nobody else was watching the rest of the video. They were all busy hugging Sheldon and Amy welcoming them back, saying how worried they were when they ran off and Sheldon and Amy apologized for it.
After the gang left leaving the kids, Leonard, Penny and Mary in 4A, they had a long conversation about why they ran away. Because of what they did, Leonard and Penny had to punish them by no tv for a week. Of course Sheldon did complain, only to get a bit of a scolding from his mother. When it was over, the kids were sent to bed by Mary.
She came out of the kid's bedroom and went to sit in the living room while Leonard and Penny drink some tea.
"Thank you so much for bringing them home Mary! I don't know how to repay you," Leonard thanks Sheldon's mother.
She replied, "Oh it was nothing really. What matters is that my Shelly and Amy are here and are safe."
"We owe you so much," Penny said as she went to sit on the couch while Mary sat in the armchair.
She began, "Shelly told me the reason why they came to Texas and I really understand though running away isn't the answer. He doesn't want Amy to be taken away. They seem to have got along a lot lately."
"Oh yes. Sheldon loves Amy as his sister," Penny said.
"Yeah," Mary continues, "He told me about the testing results. I'm not surprised. I always knew he's a special little boy all along… Now about Amy. Shelly told me about her mother wanting to take her back. Is that true?"
Leonard nodded. "Yes. She wouldn't sign the adoption papers and demanded to take Amy back with her or she'll call the police."
"Now we're going to have to see her tomorrow and give Amy back," Penny said. "We tried talking but the woman is relentless. There is nothing we can do."
After a moment of thinking, Mary then volunteered, "Then I'll go over there and give a one heck of a talk before convincing her."
Just then, Leonard got concerned. "Are you sure Mary? That woman is tough."
"I know. But I got a secret weapon," she said with an evil look on her face.
Penny's eyebrow raised. "What kind of secret weapon?"
"Oh you'll find out soon enough." She then stands up and then starts walking out. "I'll see you both tomorrow."
"Goodnight," Leonard and Penny softly call out as she walks out and closes the door behind her.
"Wanna check up on the kids?" Penny asked Leonard with a smile on her face. And he answered, "Sure."
The two walk to the kids bedroom and Leonard quietly opens the door revealing a warm glow from the nightlight which shines across the room. He looked over at Sheldon's bed but noticed that the boy is not in it.
"Where's Sheldon?" Leonard asked getting worried again.
Penny taps him on the arm and points to Amy's bed finding both of the kids hugging their animals tightly in their sleep.
"Oh," was all that Leonard can say as he watches them.
"Isn't that one of the most adorable things we have ever witnessed?" Penny asked her husband as little Sheldon mumbles and stirs softly before he slept on.
"Hm? Oh yes. It is… We gotta talk to them about sleeping in their own beds," he said as they shut the door softly.
Penny nods in agreement and they start getting ready for bed themselves. After putting on their pajamas and brushing their teeth, they get into bed.
"Leonard?"
"Hmmm?" He asked taking off his glasses and turning off the lamp on his side.
She asked a question, "Are you still having second thoughts about adopting them?"
It was a few seconds of silence before he said, "Not anymore. Though our Sheldon and Amy aren't here anymore. They really are still here. We're going to adopt them."
"Good!" She said kissing him and turning off the lamp on her side before lying down next to him pulling the covers over them. "I'm glad."
"Me too. Night Penny," he says turning over and closes his eyes.
"Night Leonard," she replies as the pair settles down for the night.
