A knock came at the door to Sheldon and Natalie's apartment at 7am on the dot.

"Coming!" Sheldon yelled, pulling the turtleneck on over his head and pocketing the ring on the dresser. He ran to the door, yanking it open to reveal Haylen and Adam on the other side. "Hey, thanks for coming."

"It's fine. Oh, and you know there's a new parade route this year right?" Haylen asked, kissing Sheldon's cheek.

(A/N: Yes, actual and factual verified information. NEW PARADE ROUTE! I suggest looking on www . macys . com / parade (take out the spaces) and then look at the new parade route info.)

"Ah, no.... Where from or to or whatever?" He asked.

Well, they're gonna end up in front of your building where ever they are because they're going down 7th instead of Broadway. Right outside your door." She said, grabbing Adam's hand.

"Uh, wow. So, did you tell everyone?" Sheldon asked, allowing the couple in.

"I just told them to come over before the parade. They should be here soon." Haylen said looking at her watch.

"Okay, well, Natalie is in the shower and Elise has been, cooking. I think." He said, looking into the kitchen. "Like I said, I think." He gestured to the mess of burnt toast, cream of mushroom and green beans.

"I thought it would be like chemistry. But, ah, no." A voice came from the floor. A blonde head popped up. "Oh, guests. Damn, I didn't think anyone would be here until 0730!" Elise said, picking up eggshells.

Haylen kneeled and helped the young girl. "Military time? Natalie does have you trained. And well might I add." She said, grabbing the trashcan.

"I think we should leave the cooking to Adam and Sheldon. They're master chefs." Natalie said from the doorway. "Hi honey." She said, getting on tip toe and kissing Adam's cheek.

"Hi Nat." Adam muttered.

Natalie looked at her boyfriend. "What did Elise screw up?" She asked, hands on hips.

"The green bean casserole and the stuffing. I can fix it though, so it's all good." Sheldon pecked her lips and turned her around. "Go get a real top on, you're making even me cold and I grew up in Michigan." He said, commenting her brown tank top.

"Heard the speech before. I grew up in Columbia and Texas. What do you expect from me? I expect myself to be wearing three layers of clothes and boots indoors like my daughter but no, I'm wearing two layers of pants and a tank top with socks on!" She said, closing the door so she could change.

A pounding at the door signaled that Don and Danny were at the apartment, girlfriend, wife and child in tow.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Sheldon yelled, picking his way through the mess that was his kitchen. "Elise..."

"Cleaning Dad." Elise said. Sheldon's eyebrow raised. "What? You live here, what do you expect me to call you?" She asked. The eyebrow stay raised. "You sleep with my mother! You reprimand me and you tuck me in at night! In all sense of the word, you're my father! Now go open the frikking door before Aunt Lindsay breaks it down." Elise said, going back to sweeping the floor.

Sheldon walked like a robot to the door. He was as pale as he could get when he opened the door. Haylen rolled her eyes and pushed him out of the way.

"Hi guys! Elise is cleaning and I think Sheldon may either pass out or puke." Sheldon swayed a bit. "Smelling salts?" Haylen called out.

"Me! Never know when Donnie here might just fall over." Jess said, patting her boyfriend's arm. Don growled a bit. "Growl again and you're on the couch for a week." She whispered in his ear.

"So, what has him all worked up?" Lindsay piped up.

"Elise called him 'Dad'." Don and Danny blanched at Adam's statement.

"Wow." Lindsay and Jess said, eyes wide.

"Yeah wow. And I missed it." Natalie said, standing in the doorway with a fleece on over a button down, still barefoot. She turned to Adam. "Please tell me you got video?" She pleaded.

"Nope, sorry Nat." He shrugged.

"Damn." She stomped over to Sheldon and looked at him. His expression hadn't changed and his face hadn't moved a millimeter. "Anyone got like anti-freeze or something?" She asked.

"I draw the line at anti-freeze." Sheldon said, pulling his girlfriend over his shoulder.

"God! Scare the shit outta me when you do that." She said, huffing as he sat her on the couch.

A knock sounded as Elise tossed the last gooey glomp of toast into the trash. "MAC!!" She yelled, running to the door. She threw it open as Mac pulled back his hand to knock again. "MAC!" Elise hugged him.

Natalie rolled her eyes and got off the couch. "Get off of him Elise. You're scarring him for life." She said, yanking her daughter off her boyfriend's boss.

Haylen stood up as Stella and Mac walked in. She counted the people in the room. "Stella, Mac, Lindsay, Danny, Don, Jess, Natalie, Sheldon, Elise, Lucy, Me and Adam. Wait. We're missing 3 people." Haylen said to the group.

"Who?!" The all asked.

"Sid, Alice and Zooey."

*meanwhile*

"Where are we going Dad?" Zooey asked her father. At 15, she was getting annoying fast.

"My old assistant and his girlfriend's place. I think." He muttered, driving the car toward Natalie's place in the parade traffic.
