Chapter 27

Silence fell among them in the hospital room as they all tried to get some more sleep. The only sounds that were heard at that point were soft breathing and the slow steady beeping from the heart monitor, that is until Cayela began to thrash around in the hospital bed. She started making these weird sounds exactly like the sounds that Carly Shay made when she was locked in that Therapy Box with her best friend Sam and Sam’s mom. Sheldon woke up to see this and so without waking up his family and his wife Leo he quietly got up, grabbed Cayela’s diaper bag, walked over to Cayela, gently picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. He changed her before carrying her back out and tucked her back into the bed. Sheldon fell back asleep moments later. But then Florence got up and started heading toward the door which woke Cayela up and she softly asked, “ Florence where are you going?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxQXkN5p8TA
“ I’m going to get a drink of water from the drinking fountain out in the hallway Cayela.”, Florence whispered back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEsUl44j084
“ Can I come with you? I’m kind of thirsty too.”, Cayela whispered.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnmLJzUPYOh
“ Sure. What the heck bestie.”, Florence whispered as she quietly opened the door. Cayela quietly got out of bed and followed her best friend dragging the IV pole and heart monitor with her. As the girls were walking the quiet hospital hallways Dr. Stormbender was stealthfully lurking around trying to find Cayela’s hospital room. After the girls got a drink of water Florence told Cayela to start heading back to the room because she was going to head to the cafeteria to get a late night snack. Cayela acknowledged that and told her to hurry back as soon as she could. But, a few minutes after they started going their separate ways Cayela suddenly came face to face with Dr. Stormbender for the very first time in her entire life.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAulm49scHdT
“ AHHHHHHHHHHH!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdD67GBPj19
“ CAYELA!”, Florence screamed in panic as she spun on her heel and ran like a bat out of hell toward the sound of her best friend’s loud blood-curdling, bloody murder scream. Her heart was pounding so fast like it was going to beat right out of her chest. She had never heard Cayela scream like that ever in her entire life before. As she was searching the halls for her Cayela suddenly came sprinting around a corner screaming, “ It’s that cyborg guy my mom was telling me about! Run for your life Florence!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANATAuwmk1hmw
“ WHAT?!”, Florence screamed as she turned her head and saw him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0d0xeYopQw
“ Come back here you little brat!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he gave chase. Florence screamed bloody murder and bolted after her best friend. The two girls ran back to the room and bolted inside, locking the door behind them. They leaned against the door huffing and puffing which caught the attention of all the adults in the room.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4OpLQp9fd8
“ Cayela, Florence, what are you doing? What is going on?”, Leo asked as she stared at her daughter and her daughter’s best friend Florence.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARcjXi3wX9c
“ Mom your enemy’s out there! He just chased us back to this room!”, Cayela screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYGqbNoqEKq
“ What?! Dr. Stormbender’s here?!”, Leo shrieked in a panic.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAynBwmG2CVD
“ Yes Dr. Fordyce-Cooper he’s right outside this door! Why do you think we’re freaking out?!”, Florence screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAM2OoKlkRBH
Bang! Bang! Bang!
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnJklSJlOaq
“ Open up this door you little brats or you’re gonna feel my wrath!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAA5fg3bLltL
“ You believe us now mom?!”, Cayela screamed in fear.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgjss7rEtih
Bang! Bang! Bang!
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbmiUy0KyOt
“ Get away from the door girls! Now!”, Leo screamed in a panic as she ushered the two girls to get away from the door.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATqIOzAK1Tb
“ Leo what fresh hell is this?! What’s going on?!”, Sheldon shrieked as he saw the look of panic on his wife’s face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8y2OKYeY9p
“ My enemy’s trying to ambush us! Get in the bathroom now!”, Leo screamed as she pointed toward the bathroom.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7di2y6F6uF
“ Oh for Heavens sake you have an enemy Leo?!”, Mrs. Cooper shrieked in shock as she stared at her daughter- in law.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmL6wF2evGK
“ Yes now just get in the bathroom! I’ll explain everything later!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIFKrrn3XBf
“ Mom?!”, Cayela screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVOu4Ht4RvN
“ Cayela just go into the bathroom! I don’t want you out here because things may get ugly!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmF51wZaVs7
“ I don’t want anything bad happening to you!”, Cayela screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWvHXTv5k5M
“ Honey I’ll be fine! Just go into the bathroom with your best friend, your father, your grandmother, your aunt and your uncle ok! This is between me and my enemy! I don’t want you getting caught in the crossfire because you’ll just get hurt! Plus, you probably won’t even understand what’s going on!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANvVwDCtnp8
“ But…!”, Cayela protested.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzftSTZ5IA1
“ Just go!”, Leo screamed as she ushered her family and Florence into the bathroom, shut the door, locked it, and slid something heavy in front of it to barricade it.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAD3PQMRVpWx
“ Ok Devon it’s just me and you! Come in here so we can settle this once and for all!”, Leo shouted as she unlocked the door to the hospital room and angrily threw it open. Dr. Stormbender came storming in with a look of evil in his eyes.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7Op7iv6dFh
“ You are completely pathetic Leo!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAOvLfPDcLo
“ Shut up! What are you doing here bothering my daughter and her best friend for?!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeU5ZgcQFy3
“ That’s none of your business what I’m doing here!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAS4T2fjDFBl
“ Excuse me but it is my business because it involves my daughter! And what did I tell you when I was pregnant with her?! I told you that you’re not to touch her! Ever!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzy5iYRsXPg
“ And I told you I’m going to do whatever the hell I want! That little brat is just as much of a threat to me as you and your stupid husband are!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted causing instantaneous gasping.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAceVtIpCj1v
“ Don’t you disrespect my son Shelly like that!”, Mrs. Cooper shouted from inside the bathroom.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdBsBBM1sBM
“ Shut it Ma!”, Georgie shouted at his mother.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEUkFIUui7i
“ Georgie!”, Mrs. Cooper shouted at her eldest son, glaring at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAorxsfOtkne
“ Excuse me but my daughter Cayela is not a brat and my husband Sheldon is not stupid! It’s YOU who’s stupid Dr. Stormbender, not my husband!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnXuRubsbUq
“ That’s a lie Leo! He’s got to be one of the most stupid geeks I’ve ever met next to his other three stupid, geeky compadres! They’re so pathetic!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaoT0wTi7aT
“ Don’t you dare speak of my husband and our friends like that! My husband is the most wonderful, intelligent man that I’ve ever met and fallen in love with! Not to mention he is a wonderful, loving and caring father to our daughter Cayela! If you ever say something like that again, I will see to it that you’re decommissioned for life!”, Leo shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAj4eP1cKxTQ
“ Good luck with that! My brother and sister will just regenerate me! You can’t get rid of me even if you tried Leo Fordyce!”, Dr. Stormbender evilly laughed as he pulled out a phaser gun and pointed it at her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5RkC1F4K81
“ That’s Dr. Leo Fordyce-Cooper and not if I destroy them first before destroying you!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASg6oK7F1mq
“ I don’t think so! This is where you’re going to meet your end!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he continued to point the phaser at her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAME6SnW8XxD
“ Point that thing away from me before I call security to have you removed from this hospital!”, Leo shouted in anger as she slowly backed away and placed her hand on the call button.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHMTFf89Onv
“ You ain’t doing shit Leo! Surrender now or prepare for the fight of your life! I shall destroy you, your family and your friends including your precious little girl!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he started walking toward her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAm88Il9Qnw8
“ YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!”, Leo shouted in anger so loud that it woke up the security guard sitting in front of his monitor at the hospital security station. He nearly fell out of his chair and knocked his cup of coffee onto the floor as he stared at the screen. He could see Leo and Dr. Stormbender arguing with each other in Cayela’s hospital room.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZTUGm7UC54
“ I’LL DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZarjqmyqzf
‘ Oh not on my watch!’, the security guard thought in his head as he jumped out of his seat and ran off to get some backup.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcua5tJHgdA
Meanwhile in the bathroom while the chaos was going on out in the room Cayela suddenly started waddling from side to side on the floor. Sheldon noticed this and asked, “ Cayela did you wet yourself again?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANADxK2r4Xb3d
“ Yes! I’m feeling very uncomfortable!”, Cayela whined.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9GjA0tvjEJ
“ I just changed you not even 5 minutes ago!”, Sheldon said in shock as he stared at his daughter.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArlQt4BPbRR
“ Yeah well Florence and I went to get a drink of water before we got chased back here!”, Cayela shot back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiBj70OI8hf
“ Alright, well then I guess I’ll change you again. Come here.”, Sheldon said with a sigh as he gently picked up Cayela as well as the diaper bag and carried her over to the bathtub. He reluctantly stepped into it and shut the shower curtain behind him to give them some privacy.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAK38NLQs6Ix
“ Dad, is mom going to be ok?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAw39ZjL811A
“ Yes of course she’s going to be ok Cayela. She has to be.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZRxctsm7uA
“ I’m scared about what that guy is going to do to her.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAYq4Qr6x
“ I am too, but your mother said not to worry too much. Now just sit still, I’m almost done.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAt4yfU8AfTu
“ Ok.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANADijGJWHChZ
“ There, I’m done. You feel better now?”, Sheldon said as he opened the curtain back up. Cayela just nodded her head and stepped out of the tub. Sheldon cleaned up the mess he made before stepping out the tub as well.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAL4R6CgrgzX
“ I’m tired!”, Cayela complained.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9TbiCu5aM9
“ I believe we all are. We shall all go back to bed once this nonsense is over and you will be taking a nap when we get home tomorrow.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnGXeBVRJht
“ Do I have a choice?”, Cayela huffed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACWsB5J6S1R
“ No absolutely not. This is non-optional.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFnG5fQO7MA
“ I’m warning you Dr. Fordyce! Give up now or suffer my wrath!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApDW9SYGRLE
“ It’s Dr. Fordyce-Cooper! How many times do I have to tell you that I’m married now?!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHe2AVaGy0i
“ I don’t give a damn! Your last name is still Fordyce to me!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHhj9SIneFa
“ It was until I married Sheldon! Now my last name is hyphenated with his! Just because that happens doesn’t mean that a person’s maiden name still stands by itself anymore! So if you want to address me properly it’s Dr. Fordyce-Cooper! Same goes for my daughter! Her last name is Fordyce-Cooper too!”, Leo shouted in anger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAS8Ur5XUKD6
“ I said I don’t care! Surrender now or I’ll blast you out of existence with this phaser gun! It’s your choice Leo! You either want to live or have your daughter grow up without her mother!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he placed his finger on the trigger. Cayela gasped in horror when she heard that. She started to become very frightened even though she was 14.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxCYpge6aC1
“ Freeze Mister! Turn around slowly!”, a security guard shouted from the doorway behind Dr. Stormbender. He had his gun pointed at him and several other security guards were standing behind him. He was the same guard that was watching the security monitor.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmxMmP3kEGz
“ Who said that?!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he spun around.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAW9U09ou8Xy
“ I did! Sir you’re not allowed to be here! Get out!”, the guard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARDINzoQoKr
“ You ain’t the boss of me! You get out! This is personal business!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAa6tBvB1In7
“ Look buddy, I don’t know who you think you are but you better leave right now before we call the authorities! You are disturbing the peace as well as every patient in this hospital!”, the guard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAf1YPrHzNPA
“ I don’t give a crapshoot! Dr. Devon Phinneas Stormbender takes orders from nobody! now I suggest you back off before things get ugly!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjzCAD4MRHp
“ Things will get ugly anyway if you don’t leave! So, you can either come peacefully and nobody gets hurt or we can do this the hard way! It’s your choice Stormbender!”, the guard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAp35HbPlRoY
“ That’s Dr. Stormbender to you and I’m not going anywhere! I shall have my revenge one way or another! You can’t stop me!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he pointed his phaser gun at the guards.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdPo0HOCSlG
“ Alright, I guess we have to do this the hard way!”, the guard shouted as he switched his gun out for a taser.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOy4vXc60jB
“ Ha, you think you can… AHHHHHHHHHHH!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted but then screamed in pain when the taser touched him. He fell to the floor and flopped around for a few seconds before he laid completely still. The electrical impulse that shot through his mostly mechanical body temporarily shortened out his circuits making him unable to move anything. The security guards dragged him out and took him to an insane asylum where they locked him up under maxium security so that he couldn’t escape. Leo let her family and Florence out of the bathroom moments later.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANNsWOfqIrI
“ Is he gone mom?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHoa72956nT
“ Yes Cayela he’s gone now. Let’s all go back to bed.”, Leo said. They went back to sleep after that and the next day when they got home after dropping Florence off at her house Leonard said, “ Hi you guys. How was Texas?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUoraFAbXGD
“ It was great Leonard. How were things here without us?”, Leo asked with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8pch60AlUD
“ Oh the usual.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmRzFOiY7Rl
“ Oh good.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAezCJ21nTGS
“ Hi Uncle Leonard.”, Cayela said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAey3eGWSg1L
“ Hi Cayela.”, Leonard said as he smiled back at her. The moment she walked by him to give him a hug is when he noticed her hospital bracelet on her wrist.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMg6AbEb4aL
“ Why’s Cayela wearing a hospital bracelet? What happened?”, Leonard asked as he narrowed his eyes at his friends.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAijbchqowMR
“ Well, last night while we were there Cayela developed heat stroke so we had to take her to the hospital.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxQCjhM36g8
“ What?! Why didn’t you guys call me?!”, Leonard shrieked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAftjdZHdRhN
“ We were going to call you Leonard but I figured you were either sleeping or doing something with Dakota and we didn’t want to bother you.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQjyDeKlLMW
“ We were just watching a movie together last night at her place Leo! You and Sheldon could have at least called us to let us know what was going on with her! She’s our goddaughter and we’re your friends!”, Leonard scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcGmvqOZ0Xi
“ Yeah I know that Leonard and we’ll talk about it later. Right now Cayela needs a nap. But before that she needs her diaper changed so that she’s more comfortable. Come on Cayela, let’s go.”, Leo said as she started heading toward the bathroom but Leonard stopped her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0t9EwMrii3
“ No Leo, why don’t you and Sheldon take a short break. I’ll take care of her.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAp96MwztvTx
“ Oh Leonard I couldn’t ask you to do that.”, Leo said as she shook her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ6FQBHWvP
“ No really it’s ok. You and Sheldon deserve a break, especially after the hellish night you guys had with taking Cayela to the hospital. Let me do it.”, Leonard said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAy3JsX3s8oq
“ Ok. All the supplies are underneath the sink in the bathroom.”, Leo said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZlQTyPFzJy
“ Thanks for letting me know that Leo.”, Leonard said. Leo just nodded her head and walked away. Leonard turned toward Cayela who was laying upside down on his armchair playing with her phone. She seemed so in tuned to what she was doing that she didn’t even notice Leonard walking up behind the chair.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFTvARTVlKk
“ Ok come here you! Let’s go change you!”, Leonard said as he bent down over the back of the chair and picked Cayela up into his arms. He then carried her into the bathroom and shut the door. He then started to pull out all the supplies from underneath the sink.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIQRqVN8fs7
“ Hi you guys.”, Dakota said when she walked in.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArxglrHbHnI
“ Hello Dakota.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ4Kj4AGdd
“ Yeah hey Dakota. What’s up?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAStXph7UVRI
“ Not much. Where’s Leonard?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZ999oEoVBh
“ He’s in the bathroom changing Cayela.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHfDYmHVoMV
“ Ow! Cayela stop kicking me! Just sit still!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANASuqkfl6Bv5
“ I don’t want this right now Uncle Leonard! Leave me alone!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqOeI07z0yX
“ Cayela you need to take a nap! Now just hold still, this will only take a few seconds!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHO303TccBa
“ I don’t care! Get off me!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANASUmp71d7ua
“ Oh great, it sounds like he needs my help in there. Do you mind?”, Dakota asked with a sigh.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARGqDgpi9of
“ Oh not at all Dakota. Go ahead.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGRJX2uGZ9z
“ Thanks.”, Dakota said as she headed to bathroom. She opened the door, walked in and asked, “ Leonard do you need any help in here?” as she shut the door behind her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPXfckS81VL
“ Oh do I ever Dakota. Cayela’s being a very stubborn teenager right now. I’m trying to change her diaper and she keeps kicking me.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHzghxcrbUy
“ Well that’s a problem. Here, how about I hold her down and you do what you need to do.”, Dakota said as she scratched the back of her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnPdd9TBWG6
“ Alright but try not to hurt her.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMk9obzCvM4
“ I’ll do my best.”, Dakota said. Then she got down on her knees and said, “ Alright kid, I’m coming in for the pin.” In one motion she laid across Cayela’s stomach which trapped Cayela’s arms by her sides pinning her to the floor. With Dakota laying on top of Cayela, Leonard was able to complete the task with ease. Cayela started screaming and crying wanting to get up so after Dakota got up off of her, she said, “ Ok I think she’s ready to go lay down for her nap now.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWYe1nUrGjA
“ Yeah I think so too. Come on Cayela.”, Leonard said as he picked her up and started carrying her out of the bathroom.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqheO0Mtkpg
“ I don’t want to take a nap Uncle Leonard! I want to do something else!”, Cayela protested as she was carried into her room. Dakota made the room comfortably dark by pulling the shades down over the window and pulled back the covers on Cayela’s bed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA42xZnmZryf
“ Well your mom and dad said you need a nap. There’s no reason to argue with them or Auntie Dakota and I so lay down sweetie.”, Leonard said as he gently laid her down on her bed. He tucked her in and she continued to have a meltdown.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdE46iQMNb5
“ Cayela stop crying, it’s nap time.”, Dakota said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADvVchS5gYY
“ But I don’t want to take a nap!”, Cayela cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAe3yuaFlCNi
“ We know you don’t want to but you need to. Otherwise you’ll just be like this the rest of the day and we don’t want to deal with it. You can get back up in 2 hours to do what you want then. But right now you need to rest.”, Leonard said. Cayela just continued to cry so Leonard looked at Dakota and asked, “ Got any ideas?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANACSAU2FhWMU
“ Try stroking her between her eyes. It always worked on me and my siblings when we were younger and had to take naps.”, Dakota said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAREwN1k4EYN
“ Ok, sure. I’ll give it a shot.”, Leonard said as he took his finger and gently stroked Cayela between her eyes on the bridge of her nose. Within seconds her crying ceased and she fell asleep.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkEL0H1RDMg
“ Well what do you know? It does work.”, Leonard said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVAgIvAMxpU
“ See? Told you. Now let’s get out of here while she’s taking her nap.”, Dakota said as she quietly stood up and walked out of the room but not before giving Cayela a kiss on the head. Leonard kissed the top of Cayela’s head too before he followed his girlfriend out of the room shutting the door behind him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmeqvNUhPPs
“ Is Cayela taking a nap?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABmPxTGdaf3
“ Yeah she’s sleeping like a baby.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGbwIsr2QVr
“ Good. At least now we’ll all have a couple hours to ourselves.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZpw6dpwEGk
“ True. I’m going to work on my laptop at my desk.”, Leonard said as he walked over to his desk.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA38bztByvE7
“ Alright well Sheldon and I are going to work on our equations. What are you going to do Dakota?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAp7tA0exHta
“ I’m just going to sit on the couch and watch tv Leo.”, Dakota said as she walked over to the couch.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiGS6eK53RR
“ But don’t sit in my spot Dakota!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAle51snoHzI
“ I’m not going to Sheldon! Don’t bitch at me!”, Dakota shot back at him as she sat on the seat cushion next to Sheldon’s spot. She then picked up the remote and turned the tv on. Sheldon and Leo went to their whiteboards and started working on their equations together. An hour later while Sheldon, Leonard and Dakota were talking to each other in the living room Leo walked into the bathroom, picked up the waterproof pad and pulled out the other supplies from underneath the sink before she headed to Cayela’s room. She quietly walked in shutting the door behind and set the items down on the foot of the bed. She gently shook her daughter’s shoulder and said, “ Cayela, sweetie, can you wake up for a second?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANArZbJHQFwBn
“ What mom? What is it?”, Cayela tiredly asked as Leo gently pulled back the covers.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwOch3gVLCb
“ I know this may seem a little weird to you but I’m going to try something new. Turn on your right side for a moment.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbkSfygV67y
“ Ok.”, Cayela tiredly said as she slowly rolled over to her right side. Leo then grabbed the waterproof pad and placed it where Cayela was just laying.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8UZ0ETbGbj
“ Ok now you can roll back over onto your back.”, Leo said. Cayela did so laying completely on top of the pad.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEUlfg23X0g
“ Ok now what mom?”, Cayela tiredly asked as she laid there looking up at her mother.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAExj87Srfay
“ Now just lie still. I don’t feel like moving you to the bathroom this time so I’m going to try to change you while you’re laying comfortably in your bed.”, Leo said as she applied latex gloves to her hands after previously rubbing her hands with hand sanitizer.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApNhUZePWEl
“ Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”, Cayela tiredly asked as her mother unbuttoned her shorts and slipped them off.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGWtamtbkLe
“ Of course honey. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t.”, Leo said as she removed Cayela’s soiled brief. As she started wiping her clean Cayela cried out, “ Ow! That hurts!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3evpaeyTOI
“ Where does it hurt sweetie?”, Leo asked as she stopped what she was doing.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGTc71ZMUPV
“ Between my legs!”, Cayela cried. Leo looked between her daughter’s legs and saw that the area was a little reddish.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA53gIjqvHhU
“ Oh sweetheart, it looks like you have a little bit of a diaper rash! I’ve got some rash cream here so I’ll rub it on you in just a second.”, Leo said as she continued cleansing her before she grabbed the rash cream. She applied it before applying the barrier cream and talcum powder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA83FmmZfvB4
“ Alright now roll away again.”, Leo said as she grabbed the new clean brief off the foot of the bed. Cayela rolled onto her side again as her mother opened the brief and tucked one side of it underneath her hip. Leo rolled Cayela back toward her and smoothed it out before rolling her back over onto her back. She pulled the front of the brief up through Cayela’s legs over her lower abdomin before attaching the adhesive tabs. Leo then slipped her daughter’s shorts back on and rebuttoned them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA68SkZVHU6C
“ There you go sweetheart. Does that feel better?’, Leo asked as she pulled the pad out from underneath Cayela’s body. Cayela sighed in comfort and nodded her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIR5T148J3b
“ Can I get up now?”, Cayela tiredly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOm1aXvVRtl
“ Not yet honey, it’s still your nap time. You have about an hour left.”, Leo said as she tucked Cayela back in and kissed her forehead.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7HcPEjURiM
“ Ok. I love you mom.”, Cayela tiredly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEr6PywcKjA
“ I love you too. I’ll come back in an hour to wake you up.”, Leo said with a smile as she took the gloves off and picked up the other items before leaving the room. She then discarded the used items into the trash. Cayela fell back asleep and another hour later Leo came back in to wake Cayela up and to change her again while she was laying on her bed.

“ Does this feel more comfortable on your bed v.s. the bathroom floor?”, Leo asked as she finished applying the new clean brief.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwOxAWfymQN
“ Yeah, my bed’s more soft. I don’t like the bathroom floor all that much.”, Cayela said as her mother slipped her shorts back on and rebuttoned them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABmfFkdutxm
“ Alright well I’ll just move everything in here and let your father know about it. And we’ll get a curtain to place around your bed.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZieu9PXumZ
“ What do you mean by that mom?”, Cayela asked as she sat up.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYeV3O0YfZL
“ I mean we’ll just get one of those big hospital curtains sweetheart. It will give us some privacy when your friends come over.”, Leo said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbwANARm8Lh
“ Thanks mom. I love you.”, Cayela said as she got up to hug her mother.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9VqRtdb2e1
“ I love you too baby. Your father and I love you so much.”, Leo said as she embraced her daughter and kissed the top of her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZV09j62Of8
“ Can I go play with my Barbies or listen to my music now?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARObGffjF5q
“ Yes honey you can do whatever you want. Nap time is over.”, Leo said as she let go of Cayela and cleaned up the mess she made.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4V5HA70mlk
“ Yay!”, Cayela exclaimed as she ran over to her Barbie dream house to play with her barbies. Leo put the supplies away in Cayela’s closet and moved all the disposable briefs in there as well. Then she told her husband about it who got upset at first but he surprisingly decided to let it go. Leo then told Sheldon, Leonard, and Dakota that she was going to go run some errands and asked them if they needed anything while she’s out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfRIbP9ogMp
“ You could pick up another bottle of wine. We’re getting pretty low here.”, Dakota said as she sat on the couch holding up her almost empty wine glass.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHHsvplSLSe
“ Yeah and could you also pick up another case of beer too?”, Leonard asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAceTedVvHqH
“ Good Lord what is with you two?! Are you two becoming alcoholics or something?!”, Sheldon interjected as he stared at his best friend and his best friend’s girlfriend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjFYmYinI53
“ No! Shut the hell up Sheldon! It shouldn’t matter to you what we do!”, Dakota shot back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuwKR6DMhtF
“ Yeah you crazy bastard!”, Leonard interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVu8QVaKRoZ
“ Excuse me but what did Leo and I say about cursing?!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaNk6qZ3H4y
“ Oh come on Sheldon! Cayela isn’t even in the room right now!”, Leonard shot back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3AM5FhwD22
“ That is correct she’s not but she can still hear us from her room! She doesn’t need to be hearing this stuff! She’s 14!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZdwTK0Fc4t
“ Alright I’m going to let you guys talk this out. I’ll be right back.”, Leo said as she grabbed her purse and walked out of the apartment. She came back 30 minutes later with some stuff she bought which included a hospital curtain that she bought at a medical supplies store. After the 4 adults put everything else away they found themselves in Cayela’s room installing the curtain up and around her bed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWgvFxdQJIT
“ Ok you guys let’s be very careful with this. This curtain wasn’t cheap so I don’t want it broken.”, Leo said as she was holding one end of the curtain rod up as her, Sheldon, Leonard and Dakota were putting it up.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApDLrtSf0Yb
“ Yeah no sh*t Leo!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4V3KDoQvn2
“ Dakota we’re in Cayela’s bedroom! Stop cursing!”, Leo scolded her friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlgdpgCv2iJ
“ Oh would you relax?! She’s not even listening right now! She’s got her headphones on!”, Dakota pointed out as she turned her head to see that Cayela was dancing around the room listening to her ipod through her headphones.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjeOZk3k01X
“ Dakota could you come over here for a second and hold this end up so I can screw it into place?”, Leonard asked as he was trying hold part of the rod up.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApXadDeX63u
“ Sure Leonard.”, Dakota said as she walked over to where her boyfriend was standing and held that part of the rod in place. Leonard then took a power screwdriver and screwed it into the rafter rung. They all took turns screwing it into the ceiling before attaching the curtain. Leo then tested it to make sure it was able to move.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACoKWFmwDJk
“ Lovely, it works.”, Leo said with a smile on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ0uTuTJ3m
“ Wow, that was fast! I can’t even see my bed!”, Cayela exclaimed when she turned her music off and took off her headphones.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAxB4yv0D0K
“ Well that’s the intention of it sweetheart.”, Leo said as Sheldon, Leonard and Dakota walked out. She then pulled the curtain back, walked over to the closet, grabbed what she needed and carried the items over to the bed. She laid the waterproof pad down on the bed before walking over to Cayela.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwiIbdgxXbx
“ Ok come here sweetheart.”, Leo said as she picked Cayela up and carried her over to her bed, laying her down onto the pad. Cayela was a little confused at first but then she knew why. After she was changed again she was back to playing. 2 days later after school Cayela was hanging out in her room with Florence and Charlotte. The three girls were being overly silly with each other just jumping around on her bed listening to her iPod and fooling around with her computer chair. They were listening to a song from a Pokémon soundtrack. It was Pokérap GS.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAw5qO2LS5h2
“ Hey Cayela you’re not going to believe this but there’s a boy at our school that apparently has a crush on you.”, Charlotte said as they were dancing around.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyKccimEY7r
“ Yeah right Charlotte! This has got to be some joke! Come on cut it out!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3ncmCe2VSc
“ I’m not joking about this! Florence can even vouch for me! She’s heard it going around too!”, Charlotte exclaimed as she pointed at Florence.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArZetvbHb6d
“ What?! Ok spill it! Who’s this boy you’re talking about?!”, Cayela exclaimed as she shook her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArA3vIRxtrg
“ Liam Garder.”, Florence said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADtlSKWeIoq
“ You’re kidding right?! One of the cutest boys in school has a crush on me?! Come on stop it!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgxomYwUXae
“ Dude we’re not messing with you! We’re legitimately being straight up serious!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHOVNz1ERuK
“ How would you know that Florence?! We’re talking about me here! I’m a complete social outcast of the school!”, Cayela shot back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATjFCBckHUq
“ We would know that because we overheard him talking about you with his friends. He said that he thinks you’re pretty and cute.”, Charlotte said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyKW42wqjFB
“ Come on you guys drop the act!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnMtzJ4fCxs
“ Dude we’re your best friends! Would we ever lie to you?!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgSFAUXe7AE
“ No!”, Cayela laughed. As the girls continued to talk, laugh and dance around an unexpected situation began to unfold. A knock was suddenly heard at the front door which caught the attention of Leo, Sheldon and Leonard.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3G3a8Jv25m
“ Who’s that?”, Leonard asked as he stood up from his desk.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAx0iOWsbsNY
“ I don’t know, let me see.”, Leo said as she walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. It was Danny standing there wearing his policeman uniform.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzSOkROilKk
“ Oh my god, it’s Danny.”, Leo said with a bit of concern in her voice.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9n997VfaTb
“ What?!”, Leonard interjected in complete shock.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZdhhigvVT
“ What’s he doing here?”, Sheldon asked in concern as he stared at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAavnjdgC08O
“ I don’t know Sheldon.”, Leo said in concern as she opened the door.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABd8zTZ2KOl
“ Hi Danny, what are you doing here?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAm87IAzIEI1
“ Step out here for a minute Leo. I need to talk to you.”, Danny said. His voice sounded like he was agitated and upset about something.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAW6rNgKmRsn
“ Ok. Sheldon, Leonard, could you two go away for a second? Danny wants to talk to me in private.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAh02Z6MXa73
“ Sure Leo, come on Sheldon let’s go.”, Leonard as he started walking away.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADe1rvEY3EW
“ I don’t like where this is going. I’m sensing something’s very wrong here.”, Sheldon said in concern.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFFhIn9mNQk
“ Oh would you just come on!”, Leonard hissed as he dragged his best friend by the arm down the hallway. Once they were in their rooms with the doors shut Leo stepped outside the apartment into the hallway shutting the door behind her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAR8kRD6epnm
“ Alright Danny, what is it? You’re freaking me out.”, Leo said in concern as she stared at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKlUC6W25MI
“ I’m so freaking mad right now. My boss is being a dickhead.”, Danny said with a little bit of anger in his voice.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQAKZiKo5HM
“ Can I ask why?”, Leo asked in concern.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAzoAb3H3mK
“ Remember the night I came by to talk to guys about what Cayela accidentally did?”, Danny asked with a frustrated sigh.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVggw51dRjo
“ Yes. What about it?”, Leo asked in concern.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsakgrRrx2G
“ Well, my boss somehow found out about it and he’s not letting it slide. He’s forcing me to do something that I really don’t want to do.”, Danny said in a serious tone.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7pYKWOaTKr
“ Oh my god! He’s forcing you to arrest my daughter?!”, Leo shrieked as she stared at her friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVuUtPChoYz
“ Yes but I’m not doing it! I don’t care what he says!”, Danny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApV7f1ZUGcf
“ Oh Danny I don’t want you getting in trouble! I know this isn’t something you want to do but I don’t want you losing your job over it!”, Leo shrieked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYolic6L96o
“ I understand that Leo but I don’t want things to be weird between us if I go through it! Plus, I don’t want to scare your daughter! You and your husband both saw how scared she was when she first saw me! I don’t want to do that to her!”, Danny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAl3MLhQjblo
“ Danny I promise you I will not be upset with you in any way! If anything, I more upset and angry with your boss! In fact, do you mind if I come with you so I can give him a piece of my mind?!”, Leo interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADIKJgVgRRN
“ Oh no not at all Leo! Actually we’ll both give him a piece of our minds because this is ridiculous that he’s treating an innocent, autistic 14 year old girl like this!”, Danny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfRdJRxkuZk
“ Yes I completely agree with you! She didn’t even know what she was doing and yet he wants her in jail over it?! Absolutely ridiculous! So how are we going to go about doing this without scaring her to death?!”, Leo shrieked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKGjeErGgtn
“ Well why don’t you let your husband know and tell him to go tell her what’s about to happen and then we’ll go from there.”, Danny said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAr2GxunrWZq
“ Ok but can I at least tell him to wait until her friends are out of the room? I don’t want them seeing this.”, Leo asked as she shook her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOKZmK6IMpp
“ Is there another place where Florence and Charlotte could go at the moment?”, Danny asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdOtoTPiOfu
“ I’ll have Dakota take them down to her place. Just wait here.”, Leo said as she ran down the stairs to 2A. She told Dakota what the situation was and the two of them came back up the stairs together moments later.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmtOdzYXtbl
“ What a fucking dickhead! This is ridiculous! Danny I swear to god that your boss is really in for having his skull broken right now!”, Dakota hissed in anger as she stormed into 4A with Leo following after her followed by Danny. She threw open Cayela’s bedroom door which made the girls completely stop what they were doing. Cayela turned the music off.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgJkvnebeDH
“ Florence, Charlotte, come with me.”, Dakota hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmzynTuUCAQ
“ Why? What’s going on Ms. Harris?”, Florence asked in confusion.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y1zQlaivH
“ I’ll explain when we get to my place. Just come with me.”, Dakota hissed as she motioned for Florence and Charlotte to follow her. Two of them just shrugged their shoulders and followed her. Once they were out of the room leaving Cayela alone and completely confused by what was happening Leo sudennly came in with Sheldon and Leonard after she explained to them what was going on. Danny followed them in. Sheldon tried to explain the situation to Cayela and she started to freak out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArRjNe4PHPU
“ You said I wasn’t in trouble for this! Why did you lie to me?!”, Cayela screamed as she started to cry.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1CQnXdUQx4
“ I didn’t lie to you sweetie. Believe me I don’t want to do this but my boss is forcing me to and your mother doesn’t want me getting in trouble.”, Danny said as he walked up behind her and took out a set of pink, child-sized handcuffs.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgQu7Pdpy58
“ I don’t want to be alone!”, Cayela cried as she felt her arms being gently pulled behind her back and the cuffs being gently attached to her wrists.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmbkavsNejv
“ We’re going to get this all straightened out sweetheart.”, Leo said as she placed a hand on her daughter’s shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATTsMp0P9iF
“ Yes, your mother is coming with us so we can give my boss a piece of our minds.”, Danny said as he started walking her out with Leo following.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAg7LCtttfnw
“ I don’t want to be anywhere near Alicia in there! She’s going to hurt me!”, Cayela cried as she was being walked down the stairs.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAO5PAmpVor2
“ Cayela you’re not going to be anywhere near her. You’re going to be right next to my office with no other kids in there with you. Your safety is very important to us.”, Danny said as he walked her out to his car and placed her in the backseat.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAToZED4pdkj
“ How long is this going to take?! I don’t want to be in there forever!”, Cayela cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAe8kNe9GIjo
“ You won’t sweetie. At the most you’ll be there for about a few hours.”, Danny said as he backed his car out of the parking spot.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhjk3yfv01P
“ Mom?!”, Cayela cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPMyg5NpvMV
“ I’m right here baby! I’m not going anywhere!”, Leo exclaimed as she sat in the passenger seat next to Danny.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAB2SGttqDbj
“ Where’s Florence and Charlotte?!”, Cayela cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAudvW8Cmf9X
“ They’re with your Auntie Dakota right now Cayela. You’ll see them again in a few hours.”, Leo said, trying to comfort her daughter.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsAwxrBhtLo
“ What about dad?!”, Cayela cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjMZGxIC4AB
“ Your father’s coming don’t worry. We’re all going to be right there to give the chief a piece of our minds, ok.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUcWtivEepd
“ Yes but let me do the talking first Leo. He’s my boss and I want to give him the brunt of it first hand.’, Danny said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3h0kCjRnAQ
“ Alright Danny if you insist. But then we’re all going to give it to him. Straight up.”, Leo said in a serious tone.
