Ryan realized Leonard would need to get up, so he took Emmy from his lap, allowing him to walk up to his friends.

"What are you doing here?"

"We're here to support you!" Raj announced, looking at everyone around the room.

"Support me?" Leonard said in the form of a question and really slowly. He ended up with a nod, a very long nod as if trying to understand. He took a deep breath. "Okay! So, here's my mom, Ryan, his wife Carol and daughter, Arthur, Jenny, and Maura." He introduced, pointing at everyone that just smiled when their name was heard. "Guys, this is Raj, Bernadette, Howard, Sheldon, Amy and my wife Penny."

"Wait?! Dr. Sheldon Cooper is your old roommate?! Is a legend are you kidding me?" Jenny said, like a child on a Christmas. Well, a kid from a family different from Leonard's.

"I am not kidding." Leonard grinned. This family is nuts. I love it!

Jenny opened her mouth and Maura just closed it shut, laughing at her sister that was totally fangirling. To make matters worse Leonard spoke.

"You know he's married right?" He instantly felt comfortable enough around those people, which was weird. It took him forever to be completely comfortable with Howard, Raj, and Sheldon and they were just like him.

"I do! I know. His work is amazing. Such an inspiration."

Ryan puts his hand on his forehead, not believing his sister even though he grew up with her and knew how fascinated she was with everything she enjoyed. Her newest thing was physics. Actually, it wasn't new, she had that thing for physics for years already.

Sheldon – and everyone really – looks at Leonard that is in the middle just grinning. His mom decided to break a little tension.

"Is anyone interested in dinner?"

Everyone agreed to it and sat down on a gigantic table. It was full of food brought by the maids, that seemed nice. His family was also sweet to them, which was unusual for people with maids, and even helped bring things to the table.

They all ate in silence, sometimes asking things to each other to get to know them and sometimes Jenny would ask her new brother and Sheldon some physics questions, even be surprised to know that most of them had a Ph.D. She made them promise they would discuss it later, after dinner.

And that was exactly what they did. Sitting in the living room, everyone spoke about their respective work, and helped Jenny with her Ph.D., giving her tips and even helping her with the material. Once she was done she was going to send her work to Sheldon that would revise it.

As they all spoke, Ryan and Carol spoke with Penny. Young Emily was playing with her doll and Penny.

"Ever thought of having kids?" Carol asked, discreetly.

"Yeah. Leonard and I talked about it."

"Do you want to?" Ryan asked. Penny nodded, smiling while imagining a child running around the house with big brown eyes and curly dark hair just like his daddy. "Well, Leonard is really good with kids. I've seen him take care of her." Pointed at his daughter. "No one can get her to fall asleep as fast as he did."

They stopped talking then, comfortably playing with Emmy.

Jacqueline comes into the room with her husband and Alfred.

"Leonard?" Jacqueline says, to make him look up.

"We need to talk," Alfred says.

"Last time you said that I got a new family. What is it?" He asked, amused and worried at the same time.

"Well..."
