The party continued without incident and everyone went home after that. Then the next day Cayela had another day off from school and since the adults had to go to work she once again had to go with her parents to Caltech. After Leonard, Howard and Amy went to their labs and Raj went to his office Leo went to her office as well after Sheldon said that he would take Cayela to his office. As Sheldon began to work on his equations Cayela sat in his computer chair spinning around in it listening to her ipod. As she was bobbing around and shaking her head to the music she was listening to she started giggling too which caught her father’s attention.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeuOxC9kUX

“ Cayela please stop laughing at what you’re doing! It’s very distracting and I’m trying to work!”, Sheldon scolded his daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyv3m6VCz9

“ Oh, am I being too loud Dad?”, Cayela asked as she looked at her father but didn’t make direct eye contact.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkgopxD4F

“ Yes you’re being too loud. I don’t mind you listening to your music in my office but could you please do it quietly without laughing.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqVo4PKcYl

“ Oh yeah sure. Sorry Dad.”, Cayela said as she continued listening to her music but this time ceased her laughing.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsYJa8Xzy1

“ Thank you.”, Sheldon said as he continued working. As he became focused again on what he was doing Cayela suddenly got bored being in her father’s office so she decided to quietly slip out of the office and go roam the hallways while still listening to her ipod. Sheldon was so focused on his work that he didn’t even realize that his daughter had left his office until he noticed how quiet it was in there.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpjVcJumZA

“ Good Lord, where did she go?! Did she seriously just leave my office?!”, Sheldon said to himself as he put down his dry erase marker and went to the open doorway.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9FpGk1UqF

“ Cayela Rachelle Fordyce-Cooper, where did you go?! You better have not left this building or you’re in big trouble!”, Sheldon interjected as he walked down the hallway. He continued calling out his daughter’s name hoping to get a response but when he received none he then started to freak out and ran to Dr. Gablehauser’s office.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRlYCjh9zI

Knock knock knock! “ Dr. Gablehauser!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo6juimvwV

Knock knock knock! “ Dr. Gablehauser!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTzQaxlwaB

Knock knock knock! “ Dr. Gablehauser!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh9RfP3biW

“ It’s open Dr. Cooper, come in.”, Dr. Gablehauser said from inside his office. Sheldon walked into the office to see Dr. Gablehauser working on his whiteboard.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIYXJ1xpQi

“ Dr. Gablehauser, I’m so sorry to bother you sir but I have a big problem right now. I can’t find my daughter.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnptpkkRgz

“ Oh wow, that is a problem. Did she just walk out of your office or something?”, Dr. Gablehauser asked as he stopped what he was doing and turned around.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1npwVltI7U

“ Yes and I called her name several times but she didn’t answer me.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuc3byqKaz

“ Well I’m sure Cayela didn’t get too far if you just now noticed she’s gone. Let me see if I can help.”, Dr. Gablehauser said as he walked out of his office with Sheldon. The two men started walking up and down the hallways of the university calling out Cayela’s name which then caught the attention of Mrs. Davis.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fkSBT6hDv

“ Dr. Gablehauser and Dr. Cooper, what are you doing?!”, Mrs. Davis asked as she came out of her office.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH4pglHD1l

“ Dr. Cooper just came to me and told me that he couldn’t find his daughter so we’re out here looking for her.”, Dr. Gablehauser said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITf0zK75x

“ God there’s always a problem isn’t there?!”, Mrs. Davis said as she rolled her eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpuxB3ashu

“ Well I wouldn’t speculate there’s always a problem per se. I just want to find her before my wife Leo finds out about this and starts screaming at me for losing sight of our daughter.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5djyt96Q4J

“ Alright fine.”, Mrs. Davis said as she joined in the search for the missing teenager. Dr. Gablehauser eventually found Cayela lying on her back in the middle of one of the hallways listening to her ipod. She was so tuned out that she didn’t realize that the bottom of her t-shirt was slightly lifted leaving her waistline slightly exposed with the waistband of her diaper sticking out over the top of her shorts.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGMVpmcvwA

“ Oh there she is laying on the floor in the middle of the hallway listening to her ipod.”, Dr. Gablehauser said as he pointed at Cayela.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr02z7jLjY

“ Here we go back, this is our moment! Tonight is the night! We’ll fight til it’s over so we put our hands up! Like the ceiling can’t hold us, like the ceiling can’t hold us!”, Cayela sang as she shook her head to the beat of the music and thumped her feet on the floor. The song she was listening to was Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1acFTzlMxV

“ Oh thank goodness.”, Sheldon said as he let out a sigh of relief as well as Mrs. Davis. He walked over to his daughter and asked, “ Excuse me Cayela but what do you think you’re doing?!” as he towered over her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKzJOWPVl

“ Oh hi Dad, I’m just laying on the floor out here listening to my ipod. What’s up?”, Cayela said as she looked up at her father with a stupid smirk on her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JEpEJ6VR

“ Ok firstly, look at me when you’re talking to me and secondly, what’s up? I’ll tell you what’s up, you’re not supposed to be out here. What have your mother and I told you? We told you that if you come with us to our workplace you are to either stay in her office or my office, that’s it. You don’t go anywhere else”, Sheldon scolded as he stared down at her narrowing his eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDyGV3XFi0

“ I know that but I got bored being in your office so I decided to come out here for a little bit.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiiY6DP611

“ Cayela you don’t get to decide where you go. You’re a child.”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlwws67ym

“ Dad I’m a teenager.”, Cayela shot back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQRNQizwk

“ I realize that you’re an adolescent but you’re still under 18 years old. Therefore, you are a child and you have to listen what your mother and I say.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WtYEpegqD

“ Could you please leave me alone now?”, Cayela said as she continued listening to her music.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs89lxsus0Q

“ No you need to come back to my office and you know what I think you also need your diaper changed too.”, Sheldon said with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH6ULUdNIE

“ No I don’t.”, Cayela shot back as she was scrolling through her playlist.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCY5qTNgvj

“ Yes you do I can see it in your face. You obviously just went because you’re twitching. So come on, let’s go.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NDKK7Gtjq

“ I’m not moving from this spot Dad. I don’t want to be bothered right now.”, Cayela protested as she continued to ignore her father.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1BnGX7QZy

“ That is not an option. Just because you’re autistic doesn’t mean you get to do what you want all the time. Now come here, let’s go change your diaper.”, Sheldon said as he picked her up into his arms and carried her past Dr. Gablehauser and Mrs. Davis back to his office. He shut the door too.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZJKb4btVH

“ Ok sit down here for a moment. Stay.”, Sheldon said as he sat Cayela on the floor. He then stood up to grab Cayela’s diaper bag that was sitting next to his messenger bag on a chair in one corner of the office.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcbIj336jC

“ What are you doing?”, Cayela asked as she was playing with her fingers.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85WBrDvpVS

“ Cayela you already know what. I just told you that you need a diaper change. Your mother and I don’t want you getting another rash.”, Sheldon said as he pulled out the supplies from the bag and set them out on the floor.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bFcoW67mo

“ Here, give me your ipod and your headphones for a second. You can have them back afterwards.”, Sheldon said as he reached his hand out.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdTENM1aHc

“ Fine.”, Cayela said with a sigh as she reluctantly handed over both devices to her father who then placed them up on his desk. He then grabbed the Purell, squirted some into his hand and rubbed his hands together with it before slipping on some latex gloves.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuzoK2hVx5

“ Can I use my phone though to text Florence?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC5nMy7SuF

“ I suppose so as long as you don’t get too silly with it.”, Sheldon said as he reached into his pocket and handed her phone to her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLwlpiqajz

“ Thanks Dad.”, Cayela said as she took her phone from him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVZgDDQ1Tx

“ Ok come here, lay down sweetheart.”, Sheldon said as he gently pulled her toward him and laid her down on the pad. After he changed her and slipped her shorts back on he then cleaned up the mess.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MChuls6zF

“ There I’m done, was that so hard?”, Sheldon asked after Cayela sat up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBlbBEgkVY

“ No. I just don’t like wearing diapers all the time. It sucks.”, Cayela sadly said as she buried her face into her father’s chest.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAAsktZiy0

“ Oh sweetheart your mother and I wish we could do something about this but unfortunately this is the way your life is meant to be.”, Sheldon said as he embraced her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqajUAisK6r

“ How am I even going to have a relationship someday?! No guy is ever going to love me because of this!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjHqT8MFMc

“ Oh Cayela, don’t say that. That’s so far from the truth. You are a very beautiful girl and there are a lot of guys out there. Any number of them would be lucky to have you in their life and if not they’re an idiot.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY1FGHQ2z0

“ You’re just saying that to make me feel better.”, Cayela sniffled.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwqihDNyBb

“ I am but it’s also the truth. There’s nothing in this world that could make me happier than to see my little girl happy.”, Sheldon said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99wNxnQE1r

“ Thanks Dad. I love you.”, Cayela sniffled.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsohTPDWt7

“ I love you too.”, Sheldon said as he kissed the top of her head. Then he asked, “ Do you want your ipod back?”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PgEveVesL

“ In a little bit, I think I just want to go play with my Barbies.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAM7MLuDqX

“ Very well I shall go back to work then.”, Sheldon said as he stood up and walked back to his whiteboard. Cayela got up and grabbed her Barbie dolls out of her backpack to play with them. At the end of the day they all went home. Then 4 weeks later Leo and Sheldon decided to take Cayela with them to Savannah, Georgia to visit Leo’s family. Florence decided to come with them and Cayela also decided to bring Oreo with her. Leonard and Dakota also decided to come as well. As the adults were sitting around downstairs in the living room talking and the two girls were upstairs in one of the bedrooms Florence suddenly got an idea.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6G0djKBXv

“ Hey Cayela I just suddenly got a crazy idea.”, Florence said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe6Pl2zfVj

“ Well what is it Florence?”, Cayela asked as she stared at her best friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0hPGqJX3D

“ Ok what do you say we take these balloons that I brought from home, fill them up with water and then take them up to the roof and have a water balloon fight?!”, Florence said with a stupid smirk on her face as she pulled out a big bag of balloons from her suitcase.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRSnEWHdwu

“ I say what the heck bestie! Let’s do it!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuVpCkkwLV

“ And see that’s why you’re my bff!”, Florence exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBQH6Ysn7T

“ Oh just shut up and get your bathing suit on!”, Cayela laughed as she grabbed her bathing suit and one of her swim diapers. She put the diaper on first before she slipped her bathing suit on over it. Florence got her bathing suit on as well.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIWX75h3Y

“ But wait how are we going to sneak out of her without the adults knowing what we’re doing?”, Florence asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhDqjaQunC

“ Duh we’ll just sneak down the stairs and go through the foyer room.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJLpgWEGOU

“ Oh well that’s obvious.”, Florence said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOgXNu8r9

“ Let’s just go fill up these balloons with water and we’ll worry about the rest in a second.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic4rFXVLXk

“ Ok.”, Florence said as she followed Cayela to the bathroom. Once they had filled up enough balloons they grabbed a big Rubbermaid tote container and filled it up to the brim with the balloons.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOXaU7qSWO

“ Ok you ready to drag this thing down the stairs Cayela.”, Florence asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQMgJohhxR

“ As ready as I’ll ever be Florence.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vFJ5caHkM

“ Ok now grab onto the container and be quiet. We don’t want the adults knowing what we’re up to.”, Florence said in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3x7G26mTL

“ Oh just shut up and let’s go.”, Cayela said in a hushed tone as the girls began quietly dragging their container of water balloons down the stairs. Once they dragged it through the foyer room and out the side door Florence laughed in a hushed tone, “ Oh my god! I can’t believe we actually did it!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuuEVjJngD

“ Yeah I know! What’s next?!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as they set the container down on the grass.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpwbYVLew

“ Duh, get the ladder!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1vOxXbyi

“ Ok, be back in a sec!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as she sprinted to her grandfather’s shed. As she came running back with the ladder she laughed in a hushed tone, “ This is so stupid!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwbTHWkGPW

“ Yeah but it’s fun too! Here let’s put it up against the house!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsOgcQviXN

“ Ok!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as her and her best friend set up the ladder against the house.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHq8v22DVY

“ Ok now how are we going to get these balloons up to the roof?!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlUGQLeAab

“ Oh I got an idea! Be back in a sec!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone as she sprinted toward the shed too and came back dragging a pulley system with her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvbdzoXXrs

“ Check this puppy out!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSvoLYihO5

“ Where did you find a pulley system?!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdlUQgaAmn

“ Duh it was in your grandfather’s shed!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh8h8qn6Qu

“ Oh Florence Mary Jane you’re such a riot!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwsIDnU1TT

“ So are you Cayela Rachelle!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYsnTUG4qb

“ Whatever let’s just set this up and get the balloons up to the roof! I don’t want to end up taking a waz in my swim diaper because I’m laughing too hard!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWank1RFv2f

“ What are you nuts?! Don’t do that!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7XhR4yYqa

“ Oh just shut up and let’s set this up!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as she grabbed a hold of the pulley. Florence did too and after they set it up Florence laughed in a hushed tone, “ Ok I’m going to head up to the roof, you just send these on up!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrXswqQGlV

“ Argh me matey!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as she grabbed the container of water balloons and set it on the pulley.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FXIA8OSp9

“ Again, Cayela we’re not pirates!”, Florence laughed in a hushed tone as she was climbing the ladder.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia3ET3YL1p

“ Oh what difference does it make?! We’re best friends!”, Cayela laughed in a hushed tone as she was sending the container up to the roof.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGJbHT8Rn3

“ Yeah I know that looney tune!”, Florence laughed a little louder but not too loud. When she got up to the roof and grabbed the container off the pulley she laughed, “ Ok I got it! Now get up here bestie!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5HLnzC6A

“ Ok here I come!”, Cayela laughed as she began to climb the ladder. Her ipod and bluetooth speaker were stuffed down the front of her bathing suit. When she finally got up to the roof she set up her ipod connecting it to the bluetooth speaker.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofBiY1I90Q

“ Ok I’m up here! Let’s get this on Florence!”, Cayela laughed as she hit play on her ipod. The song that belched out of it was I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLIf7g826K

“ Oh yeah! This is what I’m talking about! In coming!”, Florence laughed as she picked up a water balloon and chucked it at Cayela. It exploded when it hit her in the face dousing her in water.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjUvxrcnG

“ Oh you’re so going down for that! It’s about to become World War 2 up here!”, Cayela laughed as she picked up a water balloon and threw one back at her. Florence deflected it with her hands but she still got wet.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEgOhwxlW

“ You wish!”, Florence laughed as she threw another one at Cayela.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZLS3XE7Z

“ I don’t think so! You’re dead Crenshamezki!”, Cayela laughed as she chased after Florence throwing another water balloon at her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT76WEVUfxC

“ No I’m not Fordyce-Cooper! You are! Take this!”, Florence laughed as she did the same thing. As the girls started to run around on the roof throwing water balloons at each other and Cayela’s ipod continued to thump out an obnoxious bass is when Gidget started to bark from inside the house.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVojDnl13Q2

Woof woof woof woof woof woof!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVXfYBmjP3

“ Gidget shut up!”, Kennedy shouted at the dog but she just kept barking.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr0yXjZDjr

“ What is she barking at?!”, Amanda hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ8BVlmHPK

“ We don’t know Amanda!”, Junior shot back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5gGeDI9CO

“ Well I do! For God sakes what the hell is that noise?! Is that coming from the roof?!”, Leonard interjected as he looked up at the ceiling.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYdRC8tq9D

“ Yeah I think it is Leonard!”, Dakota interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MixNn1gvy

“ Well who the hell could be up on the roof right now?!”, Leo interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiKNI4bRTQ

“ I’ll handle this. I’ll go see who’s up there.”, Sheldon said as he stood up from the couch and headed to the front door. The second he stepped outside and looked up at the roof is when he saw his daughter and her best friend running around up there throwing water balloons at each other.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l5CCnP7LB

“ Good Lord! Cayela Rachelle Fordyce-Cooper and Florence Mary Jane Crenshamezki! What on Earth do you girls think you’re doing up there?!”, Sheldon scolded them as he stood on the walkway in front of the house.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQbmYxOTE

“ Oh hi Dad! We’re just having a water balloon fight up here!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zcyzIV5w

“ Yeah nothing to see here Dr. Cooper!”, Florence laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSRqeyB0G1

“ Oh no you’re not, this needs to stop immediately! You girls are going to get hurt doing that!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowCySckjyQ

“ What is going... Oh my god! Cayela and Florence what are you two doing on the roof?!”, Leo shrieked when she came outside with Leonard, Dakota, her parents, her siblings and her brother in-law and saw what her husband was yelling about.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXDRhPfQu

“ We’re having a water balloon fight up here Mom!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ634tkpwjpT

“ I don’t care what you’re doing, you two are not allowed to be up there! That is dangerous!”, Leo shouted at her daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1STKLw1RMc

“ Yes so please get down from there this instant or you will be in a whole bunch of trouble!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRyzEAUbTp

“ Oh come on! Quit being such a buzzkill Dad! This was all Florence’s idea anyway! I had nothing to do with this!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrtfVNr3I

“ I don’t care who’s idea it was! You and your best friend need to get off the roof! Now!”, Sheldon shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEqsgHngw1

“ Yeah how did you two even get up there?!”, Mr. Fordyce scolded his granddaughter and her best friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcyOuAmun

“ We just used your ladder Grandpa.”, Cayela interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9XnSJ7hl

“ My ladder from my shed?! Cayela you don’t just go in there and take things out without asking me! That’s rude!”, Mr. Fordyce scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJqftVX0UM

“ Oh it wasn’t just me, Florence did it too! She grabbed your pulley!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V9ws3USMn

“ Yeah! That’s how we got these up here!”, Florence laughed as she showed him the Rubbermaid tote that was still filled with a lot of balloons left.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgPyLwq7Gp

“ Ok well you know what, for now on you girls are going to stay out of my shed until you ask me for something!”, Mr. Fordyce scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhWX9FMTNr

“ Yes now get off the roof! I’m not going to tell you again, in fact when you get down here you two are going into a timeout for 14 minutes because this behavior is unacceptable!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYVPhE0FVd

“ Ok fine Dad.”, Cayela said as her and Florence cleaned up their mess and climbed back down the ladder. Leo took Cayela’s ipod away and the girls ran back into the house to change back into their clothes. Sheldon then seperated the two of them into different rooms making them sit in a corner facing the wall.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNCJiRsnJE

“ That was so much fun!”, Cayela exclaimed through the wall.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cT6N0Y1F

“ Yeah I know!”, Florence exclaimed through the wall.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBxYBzjCo

“ Hey don’t talk to each other, this is a punishment for doing something so dangerous and stupid! In fact just so you’re not tempted, phones! Fork them over!”, Sheldon scolded as he held out his hand.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzXLzCuY06

“ Fine!”, Cayela and Florence said as they each handed over their cell phones.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63bBc1GTfX

“ Thank you! Now you can have these back after the 14 minutes is up! Do not leave these rooms or these corners until then!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmXYosFAZW

“ What about if I have to go to the bathroom?!”, Florence interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnyz4J5d0d

“ 14 minutes is not that long Florence! You can hold it! Now both you and my daughter just stay put and think about what you did!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bbLMbHCuk

“ Ok.”, Florence said as Sheldon shut the door. He did the same for Cayela and then he put timeout stickers on both the doors before he walked away. The stickers were shaped like hourglasses with the words Timeout stamped on the front. Cayela decided to try using Morse code against the wall as a way to communicate with her best friend who was in the next room but Sheldon poked his head into the room and scolded, “ Do not use Morse code either Cayela! You are to just sit there in silence!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS2UTIPGMS

“ Ok fine Dad.”, Cayela said as she just sat there facing the wall. Sheldon then shut the door again and as he was walking away he scolded, “ And don’t try it either Florence!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY1i3wMtNV

“ Ok I get it Dr. Cooper!”, Florence interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hNUKoK8ZZ

“ Did you seriously just put them in a timeout Sheldon?”, Leonard asked his best friend when Sheldon got downstairs.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjiFBORVu

“ Yes Leonard, they need to learn that what they did was not acceptable behavior.”, Sheldon said as he put both the girls cell phones into the fruit bowl in the kitchen.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFfuwVbPP1

“ How long are they supposed to sit there?”, Leonard asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwP11NTaID

“ Well it’s 1 minute per age and since they’re 14 I told them 14 minutes, in fact. Alexa, set timer for 14 minutes.”, Sheldon said to the Amazon speaker that was in the kitchen sitting on the counter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wYxXTlmRV

“ 14 minutes, starting now!”, Alexa said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJCrWcCc9L

“ And so it begins.”, Sheldon said before he headed back to the living room. Leonard just shrugged his shoulders before he followed him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAMM6WrXWP

“ They’re going to thank you for this someday Sheldon.”, Leo said as she gripped her husband’s shoulders.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToES51xI53

“ I know they will Leo.”, Sheldon said as he looked at his wife.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzQvXbJgmI

“ Since when did we start treating Florence like a second daughter?”, Leo asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcn0rl1w4u

“ I don’t know since the day she befriended our daughter. Anyway that doesn’t matter, let’s just enjoy this 14 minutes of solitude.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3xXpkriy7

“ Now that’s the man I fell in love with.”, Leo said with a smile as she kissed him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OL9hniqMD

“ You are such a vixen, you know that?”, Sheldon said with a smile as he kissed her back.

“ Oh stop it!”, Leo laughed as she playfully smacked her husband in the chest.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx12iisIxkV

“ That was some good parenting skills. I would really hate to see those two girls get into big legal trouble someday.”, Mrs. Fordyce said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRRGUsbgJv

“ Thanks Mom, learned it from you and Dad. You know this parenting stuff is not easy but it’s so worth doing. I am so happy that this guy made me a mother.”, Leo said before she looked at Sheldon.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD4iE94kIt

“ And I’m so happy you made me a father.”, Sheldon said as he kissed her again.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PlwilCpNM

“ You know it’s so hard to believe that Cayela’s 14 now. I remember when she was little that I used to chase her around this house saying that the Tickle Monster was going to get her.”, Donny said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2nD14J2uL

“ Yeah I remember that too, it was so cute! You called it Tickle Time with Uncle Donny!”, Amanda laughed as she stared at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHolwL7cv9

“ I still don’t know how you came up with that Donny!”, Leo laughed as she looked at her brother in-law.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMhunvplQV

“ A good uncle never reveals his secrets Leo!”, Donny laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVHjNFMlxa

“ That includes us too! We’re the good uncles!”, Garrett laughed as he pointed at himself, Junior, Stephen and Leonard. Leonard laughed at this.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34XkBzvRi

“ Garrett shut up!”, Kennedy laughed causing everyone to laugh as well.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6tPZvgVC

“ Oh man I’m so happy to be a part of this family again! These moments are great!”, Dakota laughed as she slapped her thigh.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGl2pDw334

“ Dakota you have always been a part of our family! Even in the years that you moved away we still kept thinking about you!”, Mr. Fordyce laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DqV7LG1cx

“ Aww thanks Mr. Fordyce! That really means a lot that you’d say that to me! I never forgot about you guys either!”, Dakota said with a smile. Then she asked, “Can you guys believe that after all this time we’re back together as one big happy family?”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxJBuXr6Im

“ I can’t believe it. It just seems unreal.”, Stephen said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S05wL8Quq

“ I know, right. I’m so happy to be here with all of you.”, Dakota said. Then she turned to Leo and Sheldon and got all emotional.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQSLVG4Gku

“ And I’m so happy that you and Sheldon… gave me the gift of a beautiful niece! I will always be greatful for that for the rest of my life!”, Dakota cried tears of joy as she embraced both of them.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchedL1fBm

“ Oh Dakota now you’re making me cry!”, Leo cried tears of joy into her friends shoulder.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBMfLZ05dN

“ I’m sorry I can’t help it Leo! You made me be Cayela’s godmother when you conceived her so what else can I say other than just thank you!”, Dakota happily cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel7XXelI5o

“ Yeah why did you make Dakota her godmother Leo? What about Morgan who’s your best friend?”, Junior asked his sister.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokezSBAAuj

“ Well Junior I just felt it was a lot easier to name Dakota as the godmother instead of Morgan because Dakota lives with us now that her and Leonard are married and Morgan still lives here in Georgia. Now I’m not saying that I wouldn’t trust her to take care of Cayela if something should happen to me and my husband because I would definitely trust her with my life, but, I felt it was the right thing to do since Sheldon told me that Leonard was going to be Cayela’s godfather.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoOl7CwyiD

“ And Morgan is ok with this?”, Mrs. Fordyce asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpOvy7aXP4

“ Oh yeah she’s fine with it Mom. She’s the one who actually suggested it to me in the first place because of our living situation. So like I said, when Sheldon told me that he was appointing Leonard as the godfather I suddenly remembered what Morgan said and felt that it was only right for Dakota to be the godmother because her and Leonard are together.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXQS23TI8

“ Oh well that makes sense sis.”, Garrett said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2RvPiCtO7

“ Hold on shut up for a second. I hear something.”, Sheldon said as he stood up from the couch and walked up to the bottom of the stairs. He could hear Florence humming the Jeopardy theme song and Cayela letting out gaspy laughs.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9PtPxQP3t

“ Florence Crenshamezki cut it out with the Jeopardy theme song! You and Cayela are still in timeout! You got about 10 minutes left! Don’t make me come up there or you girls are going to be in there longer!”, Sheldon shouted up the stairs at the two teenage girls making them instantly shut their mouths.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha2M8XZBIv

“ Good Lord.”, Sheldon said as he sat back down on the couch.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVL95Bqrl2

“ What are they doing up there?”, Dakota asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkvdWTfIjZ

“ Florence was humming the Jeopardy theme song and Cayela was laughing about it.”, Sheldon said as he shook his head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zB1cPkpIp

“ Well what do you expect Sheldon? They’re teenage girls and they’re best friends. They’re going to be rebellious no matter what we tell them to do.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4YGhGpHX

“ Y’all don’t think I know that woman? I reckon all they’re doin’ is just addin’ to their punishment. They need to learn that when you mess with the Texas bull y’all get the horns. They can sit in those rooms all day, I don’t bitchin’ care!”, Sheldon said with a southern accent.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTp1vK4DVt

“ I agree with that but no they actually can’t because we still need to change Cayela’s diaper every few hours. That is an important necessary thing that we can’t just ignore. We can’t potty train her, remember?”, Leo said as she narrowed her eyes at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNszETB5dKg

“ Yes I’m very aware of our daughter’s needs Leo. I have her entire daily schedule memorized.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPbj8BxCIV

“ Well that’s a good thing.”, Leo said. The second after she said that is when Florence started up again this time humming the tune Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8D3WrZCt

“ Dear Lord, Crenshamezki’s at it again! Does that girl ever shut up?!”, Sheldon said as he shook his head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNOBkbI9ts

“ Honey why don’t we just ignore her this time? She’ll eventually give up and be quiet. That’s what she wants is you flipping out at her. Just don’t say anything.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonglJykLCV

“ I suppose you’re right.”, Sheldon said. As the adults continued talking Florence kept on pushing it by kicking it up a notch. She suddenly jumped up from her sitting position in the corner of the bedroom that she was in and started banging up against the wall dancing like an idiot singing acapella to the same song she was humming as loud as her voice could go which made Cayela start howling with laughter in the other room at what her best friend was doing. Gidget started barking again at the noises.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRNoW6JVtT

“ What the hell?!”, Leonard interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQrdLMzZsc

“ Just ignore her. She’ll stop eventually.”, Leo said as she made a slicing motion with her hand under her chin.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdlZ36WOFw

“ How are we supposed to ignore that?! It’s echoing throughout this entire house sis!”, Stephen interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3oXG9PrKB

“ Stephen trust me, Florence can’t keep this up forever. She’ll get bored eventually if we don’t feed into what she’s doing.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIdz8Nteyi

“ Alright we’ll ignore her but I’m telling you right now Leo that I’m going to be very mad if that girl dents up the wall.”, Mr. Fordyce said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEFE76HZXM

“ Oh Dad don’t get mad at her. I don’t want the Crenshamezkies getting mad at me and Sheldon for letting you yell at their daughter.”, Leo said as she shook her head. But just as quickly as the noises started they stopped.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bSRjbKykT

“ See? What did I tell you? She got bored.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIOuwARNJY

Ring ring ring… ring ring ring! Ring ring ring… ring ring ring!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZqH2medr

“ Oh and there goes the timer. Alexa, shut off.”, Sheldon said. The ringing noise on the speaker stopped. Then he said, “ Alexa, set timer for 14 minutes.”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblxbM84aAr

“ 14 minutes, starting now!”, Alexa said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiVJVrYGA

“ Sheldon did you just start that over again?”, Leo asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95CXZKkKuw

“ Yes Leo. The girls are going to get another 14 minutes because of what Florence just did.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DDsuZw9rz

“ Smart idea.”, Leo said as she kissed him. The adults continued talking but this time around they didn’t hear any noises coming from upstairs. When the timer when off for the second time and the girls had stayed quiet for the entire 14 minutes Sheldon walked up the stairs and took the stickers off the doors.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDiXfFMD1C

“ Ok time’s up, you girls can come out now.”, Sheldon said as he opened the doors. Cayela and Florence both came out of the rooms with looks of remorse on their faces.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0uajO3lrE

“ Now can you tell me what you learned from this?”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmDTjQZeC

“ That we don’t go on the roof without permission?”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF0zDmCVqU

“ Correct. And that you don’t act obnoxious during timeouts.”, Sheldon said to both of them as he narrowed his eyes at Florence.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4nt83RSlp

“ I was just trying to entertain myself.”, Florence said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj4Dv0lRuc

“ You’re not supposed to be doing any of that Florence, that’s what a timeout’s for. Now can I get an apology from both of you please?”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOoeP1AHDL

“ Sorry.”, Cayela and Florence remorsefully said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIP7TTkNyg

“ Thank you.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcV5aO10OO

“ Can Florence and I please go do something else now Dad?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrY5oVMItU

“ You can, after you have your diaper changed.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTeYSUnbRw

“ Aww nuts.”, Cayela said as she walked back into the bedroom with her father following her shutting the door behind him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQKTdNqitA

“ I’ll be waiting out here bestie.”, Florence said through the closed door. A few seconds later Cayela came back out of the bedroom and interjected, “ Boo!” in Florence’s face which startled her. Sheldon walked back down the stairs and went back into the living room.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwbig3H30D

“ Ahh! Cayela you scared me!”, Florence screamed as she placed her hand on her chest.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmUbLyVRK

“ Oh sorry bestie I was just trying to get your attention. You looked like you were zoning out.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHMbLrwAss

“ I was while waiting for you. You want to go watch some videos on YouTube now?”, Florence asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmJP08tof

“ Sure why not?”, Cayela said as the two of them ran off to the computer room.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraAFSCiab9

“ Did you let the girls loose?”, Leo asked when she saw her husband come into the room downstairs.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvfqoxZoFl

“ Yes although I don’t know what they’re doing now.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCoDwAH2Xf

“ I’m so glad you came up with that punishment Sheldon. That’s really going to teach them about boundaries.”, Leo said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK8p25iOHF

“ Of course it will Leo. I’m a man of science. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDlVBcDznF

“ And that’s why I love you my brilliant handsome husband, Dr. Cooper.”, Leo said with a smile as she gently gripped his shoulders gazing into his eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Dv2pIlFe

“ And I love you too my brilliant beautiful wife, Dr. Fordyce-Cooper.”, Sheldon said with a smile as he embraced her and kissed her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP893OXZYLC

“ I just love hearing you say that.”, Leo said with a smile as she kissed him back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Td3ppVajl

“ Damn you woman! Everytime I look at you, y’all set my subatomic particles on FIRE!”, Sheldon shrieked in a southern accent as he carried his wife up the stairs to one of the bedrooms.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QeAlUR4I

“ Oh Sheldon you render me speechless!”, Leo shrieked with glee as Sheldon shut the door behind them. The sounds of them having sex with each other echoed throughout the house. Then later that same day something totally unexpected happened. A man suddenly pulled up in this huge black Hummer truck in the driveway halfway on the front lawn, parked it and stepped out. He had something concealed under his jacket that he was suspiciously fiddling with. When he slammed the door shut this caught everybody’s attention inside the house including Gidget who started barking.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DqXMcRnEr

“ Who the hell is out there?”, Mr. Fordyce asked as he stood up from the chair in the living room. Everyone else just looked up toward the window.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7CPL5WXZW

“ I don’t know Dad, let me go see.”, Kennedy said as she stood up and walked over to the window. When she looked out the window she immediately recognized the man stumbling up to the front door. It was her ex-boyfriend Richard Backusstein.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzsxyJxsN0

“ OH MY GOD! IT’S RICHARD AND HE HAS A GUN!”, Kennedy screamed in terror as she immediately ducked down below the window.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOesqcpj1c

“ WHAT?! THAT SON OF A BI**H!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted in an angry tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiC5vbsrCU

“ Wait, who has a gun?!”, Mrs. Fordyce interjected as she came into the living room from the kitchen.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzXqtchSLu

“ RICHARD! HE’S STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE ON THE FRONT PORCH MOM!”, Kennedy screamed in terror as she was still kneeling down below the window afraid to move.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzPjBHcLAC

“ Ok nobody move, I’m officially on duty! I’m going to go put on my uniform but nobody is to leave this house for any reason what so ever until further notice!”, Mrs. Fordyce interjected as she ran down the hallway to her’s and her husband’s bedroom. By now everyone was getting up from their seats unsure of what was about to go down.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XCpA4EDwZ

“ For God sakes, who is this Richard guy?!”, Leonard interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZGmUyhzHM

“ My criminal offender ex-boyfriend Leonard! That’s who!”, Kennedy screamed in terror.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwO9ARihsW

“ He’s more like a piece of dog shit if you ask me!”, Dakota interjected as she was cracking her knuckles.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZsJZXesq

Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYqoQQem6O

“ See?! Gidget even agrees!”, Dakota interjected as she continued to crack her knuckles and then she started throwing a few rapid punches and jogging in place.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW73MuWc4z

“ Dakota what are you doing?!”, Leonard interjected as he stared at his wife.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHOakY4oD

“ You know what I’m doing Leonard! I’m gearing up to break this guy’s skull if I have to! They don’t call me Skullbreaker for nothing! I ain’t letting this guy hurt my husband and my family!”, Dakota interjected as she continued doing that.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pceUSfm6B

“ Oh I don’t like the looks of this at all. I better grab this just in case I need it.”, Sheldon said in concern as he grabbed his pistol out of his messenger bag. He inserted a clip into it and cocked it.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmECiaZc1DQ

“ Sheldon be careful with how you flaunt that thing around! Somebody’s going to get hurt!”, Leonard hissed at his roommate/best friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15KUfw6O5

“ Leonard I know how to handle a firearm! Have you forgotten that I have a concealed weapons permit?! Quit bitching at me!”, Sheldon hissed as he concealed his registered firearm in one of the pockets of his tan colored windbreaker while still keeping a firm grip on it.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP2gaMLyAC

“ Sheldon Cooper that’s enough!”, Leo hissed at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK6JHpfbyq

“ Yo can we all just shut up?!”, Junior interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14yipiaWrE

“ Junior Clyde Fordyce nobody was talking to you!”, Amanda hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuPVi9HkB5

“ Shut it Amanda!”, Junior hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt1Bwj4QV0

“ Yo can we talk about something else?! More along the lines of sacking this guy for a loss?!”, Garrett interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEy0JJU7dJ

“ Garrett cut it out with the football lingo! This isn’t the time for that!”, Stephen interjected as he smacked his brother in the head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAOm7Ljd55

“ Ok I’m stepping out of this conversation! I don’t want to be a part of this!”, Donny interjected as he started walking away.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPeIreSk4

“ Where the hell do you think you’re going Donny Thomas Elspeth?! Get back here! My mother said we can’t leave the house until she says so!”, Amanda hissed at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYIGv8Nrcj

“ Amanda quit nagging me! I know what she said I just don’t want to be a part of this conversation! It’s stressing me out!”, Donny hissed at his wife.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL4pAuSfHe

“ Quit being an a**hole! Nobody said you had to be a part of it!”, Amanda hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkgJGpqco

“ Ok that’s enough!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted as he stepped in between his eldest daughter and his son in-law.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxCzwY7ErF

“ Alright police officer on duty! Move out of the way!”, Mrs. Fordyce interjected as she came back out of the bedroom and headed to the front door dressed in her police uniform. Richard started banging on the door as Mrs. Fordyce was getting into position behind it. In a split second she quickly opened the door slightly only to have Richard trying to force his way in. Mrs. Fordyce wedged herself in the crack of the door placing her foot behind the door so that Richard couldn’t open it any further.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCybBAP4LiD

“ Out of my way Mrs. Fordyce!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he aggressively pressed his shoulder into the door.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4oC7jzGMa

“ No! Get out of here Richard Backusstein! You’re not coming into this house! You clearly look like you’re drunk and that’s not appreciated!”, Mrs. Fordyce shouted as she kept holding up her line of defense.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgviKdPy9k5

“ I don’t care! I need to talk to Kennedy! Get out of the way skank!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he kept trying to force his way in.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlcx07l4kV

“ Well you’re not gonna, get out of here! You’re not coming in here to threaten my family! You and my daughter are broken up and how dare you disrespect me like that!”, Mrs. Fordyce shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUd1pKz7H

“ I don’t give a d*mn! Move or else things are going to get ugly and they’re going to get ugly real fast Mrs. Fordyce!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he kept pressing his shoulder into the door. He was seething with rage and was like a hurricane waiting to unleash his fury.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLLUQTFZG3

“ YOU’RE NOT STEPPING A FOOT INTO THIS HOUSE RICHARD! BACK UP!”, Mrs. Fordyce shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvEjQomtl

“ OK THAT’S IT! YOU ASKED FOR IT!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he forced the door open with such force that it almost knocked the wind out of Mrs. Fordyce as she went down on the floor screaming and he came storming into the house wielding a 38 caliber pistol that he withdrew from his gunholster concealed underneath his black leather jacket.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZf1FUaLDm

“ Miranda!”, Mr. Fordyce screamed as he ran to his wife and helped her up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Dr5gDbGq

“ It’s ok I’m fine Robert!”, Mrs. Fordyce interjected as she rubbed her arms.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDaqAdtAdi

“ Get out Richard!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted at Richard in his face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuOtacpXSz

“ Shut up Mr. Fordyce! Where’s Kennedy?!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YTSjN2LeC

“ I’m right here you jackweed! What are you doing here?!”, Kennedy shouted as she threw her arms out to the side.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95dGfO2c2S

“ You and I need to talk! Now!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted through his teeth.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfA4dWbcg2

“ About what?! I don’t want to talk to you! Didn’t my sister Leo tell you to leave me alone a long time ago?!”, Kennedy shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxshC6C6X0Y

“ She did but I’ve decided that I don’t care what she says! You’re still mine!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he threw a finger at his ex-girlfriend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UKUJBTeBK

“ I don’t love you anymore! I did in the beginning when we started dating but now all I see is nothing but a psychotic monster! I don’t want you in my life anymore, ever again!”, Kennedy shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtCaf13UXR

“ YOU WANT TO SAY THAT AGAIN YOU LITTLE…?!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he began to approach her threatening her with the pistol only to be cut off by Gidget who jumped in front of Kennedy as her line of defense. Her ears were flat against her head, her tail was sticking straight out behind her and she started growling aggressively at him. She immediately saw him as a threat and was determined to protect Kennedy at all costs.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JuWSoQDfy

“ Get out of my way you stupid mutt!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted at the dog. Gidget barked aggressively and continued to growl at him, backing up toward Kennedy as he kept trying to go toward her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDkE8ViGqS

“ Don’t yell at her Richard!”, Kennedy shouted at him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCRFKMVAG

“ Shut up Kennedy or you’re dead!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tGVn5mds

“ What’s going on down here?! Why is everyone shouting?!”, Cayela interjected when she suddenly came running down the stairs with her best friend behind her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPkTf8Lan

“ Yeah what is this?! A New Year’s Eve party?!”, Florence interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDLft8wS6E

“ Cayela you and your best friend Florence don’t need to get involved in this! This is a dangerous situation involving your Aunt Kennedy and her ex-boyfriend!”, Leo interjected at her daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Fc7QRMJn

“ Yeah but what’s he doing here Mom?!”, Cayela interjected at her mother.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoRVimUoTX

“ Yeah will somebody please explain what the fudge is going on here?!”, Florence interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7hJwIzjzZ

“ Leonard take the girls upstairs!”, Leo interjected at Leonard who was standing next to Dakota. He was afraid to move.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyj0dzdSdW

“ I’m not so sure that’s a good idea Leo! I don’t do well under threatening circumstances!”, Leonard gasped out in fear. He could feel an asthma attack coming on so he reached into his pocket and pulled out his inhaler.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I2aQH47s4

“ What is this guy doing here and why is he threatening Aunt Kennedy?!”, Cayela hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vv9yyg49M

“ Stay out of this you little brat or you’re gonna get it!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he turned toward her and started threatening her. Cayela gasped as she held her breath in fear.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNtIW0sh5h

“ Oh you touch my granddaughter and I’ll beat you with this bat!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted as he stepped in swinging around the same bat that Sheldon used to bash Rico’s face with.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pW6R4mv6u

“ I’ll bust up your goddamn ceiling if you don’t get out of my face Mr. Fordyce!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he pointed his gun up at the ceiling.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI6GCpnJ8t

“ GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! DO NOT TOUCH ME, DO NOT TOUCH MY WIFE, DO NOT TOUCH MY KIDS AND DO NOT TOUCH MY GRANDDAUGHTER!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqQY7OHrde

“ Oh you’re really asking for it Mr. Fordyce! I’m not leaving until I settle a score with Kennedy!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXVChSlb1r

“ Leonard Hofstadter get the girls upstairs!”, Leo shouted at Leonard who still hadn’t moved. He was still afraid that he was going to get shot at by Richard if he moved but then he decided that staying in place was even more of a risk so he slowly started walking toward the stairs with sweat dripping down his face as he carefully slid past Mr. Fordyce and Richard.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32jEK4kpU

Meow!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIUTEs9obj

“ Oh no where do you think you’re going Oreo? Come here sweet baby, let’s get you out of harms way.”, Dakota cooed as she scooped up the cat into her arms and carried her off to the kitchen.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFNoXUf5Ny

“ What is going on?! I don’t understand this!”, Cayela screamed as tears started forming in her eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9szZdyVhbt

“ Cayela we’ll explain everything to you in a minute! Go with Leonard and get upstairs with your best friend Florence!”, Sheldon shouted at his daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGy7i7Vpt

“ But Dad!”, Cayela screamed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPv0tlM8sp

“ Get upstairs now!”, Sheldon shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyS9bafgFT

“ Come on girls let’s go!”, Leonard interjected as he grabbed the two best friends by the hands and ran with them up the stairs. The experimental physicist knew that something bad was about to happen and he didn’t want his goddaughter and her best friend to be in the middle of it.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOYuKWyPc4

“ I’m gonna say it one more time Richard! Get out! Leave my family alone!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted as he pointed the tip of the bat at Richard’s chest in a threatening way.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURj9tu64w9

“ You’re really pushing my limits Mr. Fordyce!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWFpAhVxV

“ Quit yelling at my dad Richard!”, Kennedy shouted.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM8X97PReN

“ Shut up Kennedy or I’m going to kill you!”, Richard intoxicatedly shouted as he pointed his gun back at her. His finger was on the trigger and was just about ready to pull it. But little did he know that was going to be the very last thing he’d ever say in his life.

“ You’re insane! Leave me alone!”, Kennedy screamed in terror.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7a6ygNOZN

“ KENNEDY MOVE!”, Sheldon shouted at his sister in-law as he pulled out his pistol, placing his finger on the trigger. Kennedy screamed in terror as she ducked down out of the way while bullets from both guns started flying everywhere. Leonard slammed the door shut upstairs when he heard the first shots go off and he laid down on top of Cayela and Florence to protect them just in case if any bullets were to have flown up there then he would be the one to get hit and not them.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO70SCZOgg

“ Everybody get down now!”, Mrs. Fordyce shouted as a shoot out continued between the two men when Sheldon started running after Richard. Screams errupted throughout the house as Gidget kept barking while the ADT security system began to shriek loudly. Gun powder expelled everywhere engulfing the entire room in somewhat of a thick haze. After the shots ceased firing Mrs. Fordyce said, “ All clear!” Then she asked, “ Is everyone alright?!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnTF4Lzn33

“ Yes!”, everybody called back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sqsavouA

“ I’m going to go check out the carnage.”, Junior said as he got up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsrFNaqlxG

“ Be careful Junior!”, Mr. Fordyce interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydbeIrJZGZ

“ Yeah I know Dad!”, Junior hollered back as he ran down the hallway to see what had happened. He eventually saw Richard’s lifeless body lying face down in the doorway of the office in a pool of blood.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cKitR0rXH

“ Oh my god! Richard’s dead!”, Junior shouted out.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvp3UhfjKa

“ What?!”, Kennedy screamed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTskf14wmW

“ Oh my god! My husband’s gonna go to jail!”, Leo screamed as she started to cry.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70RjLsNTXT

“ Oh honey stop stop! Your husband’s not going to jail!”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she shook her head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlnAm4RlVX

“ What do you mean he’s not Mom?! HE JUST MURDERED THE GUY! The police are probably going to charge him with murder and then lock him up for the rest of his life which means Cayela will have to grow up without her father!”, Leo cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V6ct17Ynh

“ No they’re not Leo it was self-defense! Sheldon was protecting your sister! Think about it, if he hadn’t shot him to death then your sister would have been the one laying dead on the floor right now!”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she held her youngest daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LlISHiRe

“ Is it safe to come down now?!”, Leonard hollered down the stairs.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpaTJn90Kp

“ Yes the shooting’s over Leonard!”, Mrs. Fordyce hollered.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1pOyI1d0U

“ Oh thank god!”, Leonard interjected as he came back down the stairs with the girls.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw0OqPWoIe

“ Is it over?”, Cayela asked in a frightened tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oeJj5e1Sj

“ Yeah it’s over Cayela.”, Stephen said as he stood up. The ADT alarm was still shrieking.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfiRPEHLTg

“ Mom are you ok?”, Cayela asked in a frightened tone when she noticed her mother’s distraught face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYCR3WMGa

“ Yes I’m fine Cayela but I’m just really worried about your father right now!”, Leo cried as she held onto her mother’s hands that were wrapped around her shoulders.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlspbPaKjxn

“ Why? Did Dad get shot?!”, Cayela asked in a frightened tone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurfjSoSqzF

“ No, he shot and killed the other guy and I’m afraid that he’s gonna go to jail for it!”, Leo cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeycVLelVvq

“ Oh my god!”, Cayela shrieked as she ran back up the stairs with tears streaming down her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMEtTdwYWW

“ Cayela!”, Florence shrieked as she ran after her best friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzs9JyPQ8N

“ Oh for God sakes!”, Leonard interjected as he banged his head against the wall.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ad4XRlmVy

“ Leo stop it! I promise you nothing is going to happen to Sheldon! It was an act of self-defense! There’s a difference between that and murder!”, Mrs. Fordyce hissed at Leo.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5JHbjoVKH

“ Yeah Leo I completely agree with Mom on this! Because of your husband I’m still alive! Richard would have killed me if Sheldon hadn’t stepped in and killed him! You should be happy about the fact that Sheldon cared enough about me to put his entire life on the line to do that!”, Kennedy cried as she gripped her sister’s shoulders.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEDy2YnVc

“ I know Kennedy but I’m still afraid! Sheldon is the best thing that has ever happened to me, not mention he is the best loving, caring father to my child that I could ever ask for! It’s like losing Brady all over again except it feels weird saying that now because Gia and Simon just had a son named Brady! But anyway I don’t want it to be a reality!”, Leo cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjI962CkS5

“ Leo we all know that you still miss Brady very much but you need to calm down! You’re freaking out over absolutely nothing!”, Garrett said with concern.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSzlmh7JJR

“ Garrett I…!”, Leo cried but then she began to feel lethargic. She was having another blood pressure episode.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU3auj9UHz

“ Oh my god do something Garrett! Leo’s blood pressure’s dropping!”, Kennedy screamed with tears still running down her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wZz07FaVS

“ Oh sh*t!”, Garrett hissed under his breath as he ran into the kitchen and started fractically searching the drawers for his youngest sister’s blood pressure insulin. When he found it he ran like a bat out of hell back to them and injected the medication into his sister’s arm.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWclxcSfDDp

“ You ok sis?!”, Garrett asked in concern.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxKMLm5Cn

“ Yeah I’m fine, thank you for that Garrett!”, Leo cried as she started to come back around.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM4NS3rwkp

Upstairs…

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2hylLj37f

“ Cayela nothing is going to happen to your dad!”, Florence interjected as she was trying to console her very upset best friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtyr4YAIsz

“ You don’t know that Florence! You didn’t see the expression on my mom’s face! She really looked like she was very upset and scared!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQhRfD7T2b

“ We don’t know what happened down there bestie! We’ve been up here the whole time with Dr. Hofstadter when those gunshots were going off!”, Florence interjected.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SuAOgXqog

“ I know and that’s why it scares me! I don’t want to lose my dad to the criminal justice system!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCDy2FknI

“ Cayela Rachelle Fordyce-Cooper get a grip on yourself! YOUR DAD IS NOT GOING TO JAIL! You and your mom are freaking out over absolutely nothing!”, Florence interjected as she shook her best friend’s shoulders a little.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeEaJ0c2SW

“ That’s easy for you say Florence Mary Jane Crenshamezki! You’re not the one who’s going through a situation like this! I’ve never had a parent go to jail before and I don’t ever want to find out what that would be like!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS0vbVQwuw

“ Cayela are you alright?”, Sheldon asked in concern when he walked into the room and set his pistol down on the night stand.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeFU5ztq3O

“ Not really Dad! I’m scared and Mom seems to think something’s going to happen to you!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9aWLKc1gm

“ Oh that’s preposterous! Why would your mother think that?!”, Sheldon asked in complete shock as he stared at his daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkthNVRNQl

“ You killed a man Dad! She thinks you’re gonna go to jail for it and it SCARES ME!”, Cayela cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjpXDadYH

“ Oh Cayela that’s ridiculous. Come here.”, Sheldon said as he walked over to her and gently picked her up into his arms sitting down on the edge of the bed holding her in his lap. Cayela cried into her father’s chest as he rubbed gentle circles on her back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmyqDJIp7e

“ Sweetheart I had no choice, I had to kill him. He was going to kill your Aunt Kennedy if I didn’t do something about it. It was an act of self-defense. I’m not going anywhere.”, Sheldon said in a calm, stern voice as he rested his chin on top of his daughter’s head. Cayela kept crying though so Sheldon slowly started to rock his body back and forth while he held her. Leo then came up the stairs and walked in to find her husband holding their daughter in his lap. Florence was sitting right next to Cayela with a hand gently placed on her shoulder. Her head was looking down at her feet. Without saying a word Leo walked over and sat down next to her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3aUqSwUI0

“ This is such a beautiful moment right now! And I’m scared to find out how long it will be before we have another one!”, Leo cried as she looked at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra3TPV9ASu

“ Honey stop crying, nothing is going to happen to me. Richard deserved it for trying to murder your sister. You know that the outcome would have been very different if I hadn’t fatally shot him. It was either him or your sister.”, Sheldon said as he gently pressed his wife’s head against his shoulder.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTxjhYXV2O

“ I know but I still keep fearing that the police are going to take you away from me and our daughter!”, Leo cried.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroVSjoBrz2

“ Leo that’s not going to happen. I can assure you that I’m still the very same innocent man you married regardless of me shooting Richard to death. As we said in our vows, you and I will be together until death do us part.”, Sheldon said as he shook his head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQLgwqMlP

“ I love you Sheldon!”, Leo cried as she lifted her head and looked at her husband again.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lgQs5BW1S

“ I love you too Leo. Nothing is ever going to separate me from the woman I love and my beautiful daughter.”, Sheldon said with a smile. The tears slowly started to stop as Leo caressed her husband’s face and kissed him. The two parents then embraced their daughter and kissed her head which made her feel better. Oreo then ran in with her tail up meowing as she jumped up into Cayela’s lap. Leonard and Dakota walked in afterwards.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7NpbBlr2W

“ Is everything ok up here?”, Dakota asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWL7YUorCV

“ Yeah everything’s fine Dakota. Just having a little bit of an emotional moment.”, Leo said as she wiped away her tears.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAVBWWp1PM

“ Well the police are here. They want to talk to us downstairs.”, Leonard said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPS7InrRjT

“ Well alright we shall go speak with them. Come on let’s go.”, Sheldon said. Cayela stood up holding her pet in her arms and wiped away the last of her tears. Florence gently gripped Cayela’s shoulders as she stood up too. Leo and Sheldon then stood up as well and as they were walking out of the room Sheldon gently grabbed his wife’s hand and squeezed it slightly. They walked down the stairs where a detective met them at the bottom.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ95PbpVIh

“ Sir do you mind if we ask all of you some questions?”, the detective asked Sheldon.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfexZEENhUK

“ I do not officer you may do so.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JJdc8c4dn

“ Alright.”, the detective said. He then asked routine questions and everyone told the same story of what happened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWb8q7cDS

“ Mr. Fordyce do you mind if we take a look at your security footage for a moment?”, the detective asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17C7Q8aqgu

“ I do not mind at all. Go right ahead officer.”, Mr. Fordyce said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyMwkenhXA

“ Thank you sir.”, the detective said as he several other detectives went into the kitchen to take a look at the security footage. The forensic team was taking photographs of the scene and searches were being conducted. After several minutes of this the detectives came back into the room and one of them said, “ Alright I think we have gathered enough information. Thank you for the cooperation.”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQfqrfPh7S

“ My pleasure officer.”, Mr. Fordyce said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCh9YTU5z6

“ So please I got know, is my husband going to jail for this?”, Leo asked in concern.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6I2CB55gj

“ No ma’am it was an act of self-defense. From what everybody had said in this house is consistant with what we saw on the tape. We saw that the other guy had a gun and he was threatening all of you with it. We don’t see this as a murder investigation therefore we will not be charging your husband for anything.”, the detective said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlJbMBLVTn

“ Oh thank god!”, Leo shrieked as she cried tears of joy. Cayela also cried happy tears as well as Florence embraced her.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VVxAHOkgY

“ See? What did I tell you honey? I told you nothing was going to happen.”, Mrs. Fordyce with a smile as she walked up behind Leo.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zzbBZfgQY

“ Ok I admit it Mom! I was freaking out over nothing!”, Leo laughed as the happy tears kept falling from her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLPVOvp7eR

“ Yeah Leo you were acting like Sheldon!”, Leonard laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZmALa8Cmn

“ Oh shut up Leonard you asthmatic idiot!”, Leo laughed as she playfully pushed on his shoulder.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxMc30YSb

“ I’m a physicist Leo!”, Leonard laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj8hqiHGnh

“ You, my husband and I are all physicists Leonard Hofstadter! We will be until the day we die!”, Leo laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdb9c9mhXx

“ Woah you guys! Who got killed over here?!”, Morgan interjected when she suddenly came in through the kitchen.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuPzbm1VBK

“ My sister Kennedy’s ex-boyfriend Richard! He came here threatening us with a gun and so my husband Sheldon shot him to death!”, Leo laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGguueRiS9

“ You’re not still armed are you?”, Morgan asked Sheldon.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoekjvsKRVj

“ No Morgan it’s upstairs on the night stand now.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCcgnVGLp0

“ Alright we shall be heading out now. You all have a good rest of your evening.”, one of the detectives said as he started walking to the front door with the other detectives following.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDIy60udiJ

“ Thank you. You too.”, Mr. Fordyce said as the police detectives walked out of the house with the rest of the forensic team. Everyone then watched as the coroners wheeled Richard’s dead body out the front door on a gurney with a white sheet draped over it.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFY7NybZFC

Woof woof!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJZaZ0tw1B

“ Aww Gidget come here! You were being such a good girl!”, Kennedy cooed as she looked at Gidget. Gidget jumped into Kennedy’s lap raining wet slobbery kisses on her face as she was wagging her tail.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSkWv34EH

“ I seriously can not thank you enough Sheldon for what you did for me. I am so happy that you’re my brother in-law.”, Kennedy said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarP7v3Pin9

“ My pleasure Kennedy. Are you alright?”, Sheldon asked with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcvcQ6GIG

“ Yes I’m fine. It’s just so hard to believe that Richard’s actually dead now and I don’t have to see him anymore ever again.”, Kennedy said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpIRCeJi7

“ Well it’s probably just a state of shock sis. Give it a day or two and it will probably start sinking in.”, Junior said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdU1n1SgWA

“ Yeah you’re probably right Junior. And honestly, right now, I don’t even feel sad. You guys have really opened up my eyes to see what a terrible person Richard actually was.”, Kennedy said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef8fUqmkFn

“ Well what do you say we all have a toast?”, Mr. Fordyce said as he came out of the kitchen with several drinking glasses, a bottle of wine and a bottle of non-alcoholic champaigne. He poured the wine for himself, his wife, his three daughters, his three sons, his son in-laws, Morgan, Dakota and Leonard. He then poured the non-alcoholic champaigne and gave it to Cayela and Florence.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Ks1jtC10

“ Do you want to know why it’s called a toast?”, Sheldon asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHLGNA0aR

“ Sheldon not now!”, everyone said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8TW8ue7pe

“ Alright, a toast, to family and for Richard finally leaving this Earth.”, Mr. Fordyce said as he raised his wine glass.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgi4HiDtmg

“ Yeah burn in hell Richard!”, everyone exclaimed as they touched glasses before taking a sip. Later that night after the house was cleaned up the adults all sat in the living room watching tv. Gidget was laying on her dog bed chewing on a bone, Oreo was curled up on the arm of the sofa sleeping and Cayela and Florence were sleeping side by side in Sheldon’s lap on the couch. Florence was in her pjs and Cayela had on just her t-shirt and diaper. Leo was sitting next to Sheldon with a smile on her face as she kept glancing at the tv and then Sheldon before looking at Cayela and Florence.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMdHsLp9i

“ Sheldon let’s go put the girls to bed.”, Leo whispered.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXCeIcVGnx

“ Well alright Leo.”, Sheldon whispered. Leo got up and carefully picked up Florence allowing Sheldon to stand up holding Cayela in his arms.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19TL9LWuxe

“ Where are you going?”, Leonard asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm16hsqr9VI

“ Oh we’re just going to put the girls to bed Leonard. We’ll be back down in a second.”, Leo quietly said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5KAjHFRPd

“ Ok.”, Leonard said. Leo and Sheldon carried the girls upstairs and Oreo woke up to follow them. She meowed as she was trotting up the stairs with her tail straight up. Once the girls were in bed Leo and Sheldon then went back downstairs. Then shortly after everyone else went to bed Sheldon took Leo into the kitchen to talk.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs368asHPcH

“ I can’t believe how quiet this house is now. Everyone’s asleep except us.”, Leo quietly said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfg3i9KksY

“ It’s remarkable.”, Sheldon quietly said. Then he reached into his pocket and placed something in his wife’s hand. It was a gold heart-shaped locket that he had purchased for her a few weeks back that he kept hidden in a special place.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2GZv4jFca

“ Sheldon what is this?”, Leo asked as she looked at it before looking back up at him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGYq0gTjJP

“ It’s a locket I bought for you a few weeks ago. I kept it hidden in the wall safe of our apartment. It was supposed to be a wedding anniversary gift but seeing how upset you got today I thought now it would be a good time to give it to you.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPBscWkhGu

“ You bought me a locket? Sheldon that is so sweet.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7DEIOurZ

“ Look inside of it.”, Sheldon said. Leo opened the locket and saw a tiny picture of her, Sheldon, Cayela, Leonard and Dakota. They were all smiling and in Cayela’s arms was Oreo licking her paw.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0svVPOgfA

“ Oh Sheldon this is so beautiful! Look at us, we’re all a big happy family!”, Leo said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkhLupU8s

“ There’s an engraving on the back of the locket too. Read it.”, Sheldon said. Leo gently closed the locket and turned it over to the backside. The engraving said, Love you always - Sheldon. There was a heart symbol next to his name.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR72p4WIPL3

“ Sheldon, I’m speechless! This is the most beautiful gift you could have ever given me! Thank you!”, Leo cried happy tears.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QaH1TuDW0

“ You’re welcome Leo.”, Sheldon said with a smile as he kissed her. He had never been this happy in his entire life. Sure he loved Amy when they were together but his feelings for her were nowhere near as strong as the feelings that he had for Leo. When they first met he didn’t even like her and thought of her as an annoying bane of his existence but then when he realized that after spending time with her, she was actually a very beautiful woman with a brilliant beautiful personality and soon found himself falling head over heels in love with her. He had never thought in a million years that this woman, who somehow managed to worm her way into his heart, would become his wife and the mother of his child. He loved Leo so much that he could not have picked a more perfect spouse than her. She was his everything and could plainly see why Brady had wanted to marry her when he was still alive. It was like catching lightning in a bottle. As the married couple stood there in the kitchen kissing each other Mr. Fordyce decided to peek in through the doorway and when he saw the touching moment between his youngest daughter and his son in-law a smile spread across his face before he headed back to bed. Sheldon then picked Leo up and carried her upstairs. Then a few days later after they got home Cayela and her friends were just getting out of school for the day. They talked for a little bit outside the school before they all got picked up by their parents. Shortly after Cayela finished her homework her mother entered her bedroom and said, “ Hi sweetheart.”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JFbhyoCVM

“ Oh hi Mom, I was just finishing my homework. What’s up?”, Cayela asked as she looked up from her desk.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRijWGHuvv

“ Could you please run out to my car for a second? I accidentally left one of my work folders in there and I need it right now so could you go get it for me please?”, Leo asked her as she gave her the car keys.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DbqzeKlqb

“ Oh sure Mom.”, Cayela said as she took the keys and walked out of the room. Leo followed her and said, “ Make sure you lock up the car when you’re done Cayela! I don’t want someone breaking into my car to steal it!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8guPEKqDC

“ I know what to do Mom!”, Cayela said as she walked out of the apartment.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFujHXZRBQA

“ Are you out of your mind woman?! Why are you sending our daughter down there alone?!”, Sheldon asked Leo as he was sitting in his spot on the couch.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cGBC9665g

“ Sheldon don’t be ridiculous, it’s just a few floors down and it’s not a big deal. I’m sure if something were to happen Melissa would let us know because she lives down there now. Cayela is 14 years old and all I’m sending her down there for is to get a work folder that I accidentally left in my car.”, Leo said as she rolled her eyes at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD1BVxGcnf

“ Well alright, I suppose you’re right.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5nCH7j2Y9

“ Of course she’s right Sheldon now quit being batcrap crazy!”, Leonard interjected as he looked up from his laptop while sitting at his desk.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkaoPpayxA

“ Leonard that’s not helping and I’m not crazy my mother had me tested.”, Sheldon shot back at him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Gq0esi1r

“ Yo would you both shut up over there! I’m trying to cut up a watermelon and I don’t want to cut my hand!”, Dakota interjected from the kitchen over her shoulder at her husband and her friend as she was cutting up a watermelon on the counter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkxaR1nDvl

“ He started it Dakota Chantel.”, Sheldon said as he pointed at Leonard.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdMjXQspC

“ I don’t care if my husband started it Sheldon Lee! Shut up!”, Dakota shot back at him before continuing to cut the watermelon up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez9bJPSeDy

“ I reckon y’all stop disrespectin’ me!”, Sheldon said with a southern accent.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRrjJkFcQj

“ Sheldon quit yelling at my wife! I don’t yell at your wife!”, Leonard hissed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjTbVqOIWp

“ Um excuse me but you yell at me all the time Dr. Leonard Leaky Hofstadter! Don’t deny it!”, Leo said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcxt36CLdT

“ Whatever, I’m done with this.”, Leonard said as he stood up, shut his laptop, walked into the kitchen to grab a beer out of the fridge and then went to his and Dakota’s shared bedroom. Meanwhile after grabbing her mother’s work folder and locking up the car Cayela was about to head back into the building when suddenly she bumped into another teenage girl who was rocking out to some tunes on her ipod. The girl looked like she was about the same age as Cayela, she was caucasian with long curly light brown hair that was in two ponytails and she had teal colored eyes. She was wearing an Ariana Grande t-shirt, blue jean shorts, big gold and silver bracelets on one of her wrists and cream colored tennis shoes on her feet. She also had a tattoo on her wrist of a cat that looked like Duchess the cat from the Disney movie The Aristocats.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVS09h5qXJ

“ Ow! That hurt!”, the girl exclaimed as she sat on the ground rubbing her forehead. Her headphones had fallen off of her head and landed around her neck with the music still playing through them.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgohtFVNjO

“ Oh I’m so sorry! Here let me help you up!”, Cayela exclaimed as she held out her hand.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w29R7yYin

“ Thanks. Note to self, don’t ever rock out with your eyes closed because you’ll just get knocked on your butt. Hi.”, the girl said with a smile after Cayela helped her up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYkynBxOCf

“ Hi, I’m Cayela Fordyce-Cooper. What’s your name?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Kt3oNZ8r

“ Arista Stormbender, nice to meet you Cayela.”, Arista said as the two girls shook hands with each other.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06PTWFWMik

“ You too Arista. What are you listening to?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdCi0hTzSh

“ Oh it’s just Rock The Casbah by The Clash. It’s a really catchy song.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIg1kyjk4L

“ Oh yeah I heard of that song! It goes like…!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFd84mADmG

“ The shareef don’t like it! Rockin’ the casbah! Rock the casbah!”, Cayela and Arista sang at the same time.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ391BdYMpgV

“ Yeah that’s it! Wow, you got a good singing voice Cayela!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhg16jz8Pb

“ Thanks Arista you do too!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTyJfhTxTI

“ Thanks! So what are you doing out here?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYh0MGVfK1

“ Oh I was just grabbing something for my mom out of her car. It’s a work folder that she accidentally left in there.”, Cayela said as she showed Arista what she was holding. Arista briefly flipped through it and asked, “ Is this all physics stuff? What does your mom do?”

“ She’s a theoretical physicist that works at Caltech. My dad is too and works there as well.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ljLYNaXtN

“ Wow you’re lucky. My dad’s just an evil scientist freak.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTC1TJaZD

“ You’re that crazy cyborg guy’s daughter?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZEZTwYlT

“ Yeah but I hate him. He’s the worst dad I’ve ever had. He kept trying to force me to help him with his evil schemes along with my sister and I wanted no part of it.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTCDA2HB6

“ You have a sister?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdchOfGOSoQ

“ Yeah she’s two years older than me, her name’s Raven. She’s just as crazy and psycho as our dad and I just don’t get it. I don’t get the whole ‘ being evil’ thing. It’s stupid and there’s just really no reason for it.”, Arista said as she shut her music off.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuTwtDWPTV

“ Yeah evil sucks!”, Cayela laughed causing Arista to start laughing as well.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe3su9ZkV0

“ I like you, you’re funny!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2CYIofTHC

“ Thanks you seem funny too!”, Cayela exclaimed. Then she asked, “ Do you want to come inside? We can hang out in my room.”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B42TDKfdG

“ Sure I’d love that.”, Arista said as the two headed inside the building. As they started walking up the stairs together Arista asked, “ Wait, why are we walking up the stairs? What about the elevator?”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxTcLoVXCq

“ Oh the elevator’s broken, it’s been broken for years. No one’s ever come by to fix it.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstBKSCIu6

“ Really Cayela? Who caused that?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQKCB1yyb

“ Oh it was my Uncle Leonard being stupid Arista. He was conducting an experiment with rocket fuel and it gone wrong.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tuP8CLhMC

“ He blew up the elevator?!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRSFHfynsx

“ Yeah pretty much. I thought it was really funny when my dad told me about it the first time after I asked about what happened to the elevator. He kept telling his best friend that he did it wrong so then my Uncle Leonard got pissed off at him for it but then the whole container started smoking so my Uncle Leonard knew that something bad was going to happen from that so he just started screaming, “ Get the door!” and well the rest is history.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8SydZjdSB

“ Wow that is just one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24rhgC80N7

“ I know, right?!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwbmnILwd7

“ Is he a physicist too?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhvlZCO1v4

“ Yeah but he’s an experimental physicist. He works at the very same place my parents do.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAhqYtdDPZ

“ Does he live with you and your parents?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBM3um6KrO

“ Yeah him and his wife live with us who’s my Auntie Dakota by the way. She’s an MMA fighter.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5thXzYuzY

“ Really?! That’s dope!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rqVTka0Up

“ Yeah I know. I have a really cool family.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1C8EC90J9

“ Who’s all in your family?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lTjasb66K

“ Well, let’s see there’s me, my mom, my dad, my Grandma and Grandpa Fordyce, my Uncle Stephen, my Uncle Garrett, my Uncle Junior, my Aunt Amanda, my Aunt Kennedy, my Uncle Donny, Gidget the German Shepherd, my Great Aunt Sylvia and her butler Mr. Jasper McCleven…”, Cayela said as she was trying hard not to laugh.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ioCcxUfhU

“ Are you freaking kidding me?! The guy’s last name is McCleven?!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlqWPaKWwq

“ Yes but hold on I’m not done yet Arista! I still have a whole bunch of family members to get through!”, Cayela smirked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCx35g28mA

“ Ok ok, who’s next?”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWd27NBDo

“ Ok then there’s my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Fordyce, my Great Aunt Josephine and my Great Uncle Kevin, my great cousins: Raychel, Courtney, and Nevel, my great cousin Gia, her husband Simon and my new baby cousin Brady who was named after my mom’s deceased fiance, my Auntie Morgan, my Uncle Kemdan, my Auntie Shelina, my Auntie Carmen, my Auntie Melissa who now lives in my mom’s and Auntie Dakota’s old apartment two floors below us, my Auntie Megynn, my newest Auntie Molly who used to be my mom’s childhood bully, my Uncle Danny who’s a police officer and is dating my Auntie Molly, my Grandma Mary, my Aunt Missy and my Uncle Georgie from Galveston, my Uncle Leonard and Auntie Dakota that I already told you about, my Auntie Dakota’s family, my Uncle Howard who’s an aerospace engineer, my Uncle Raj who’s an astrophysicist from India and his dog Cinnamon who’s a really cute Yorkshire Terrier, my Auntie Penny who lives across the hall from us, my Auntie Amy who’s a neurobiologist, my Auntie Bernadette who’s married to my Uncle Howard and is a microbiologist, my Auntie Yesenia who’s from Busan, South Korea and is my Uncle Raj’s girlfriend, and finally we have my Uncle Stuart who’s a comic book store owner.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9sB4t3xO

“ Wow, you have a lot of family members Cayela!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjitlNd6Ac

“ Yeah I know Arista. I also forgot to mention that I have a little black kitty who has a small patch of white on her chest that I named Oreo.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa1hmuIDoC

“ Aww that’s so cute! I love kitties! How did you get her?!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGz9CMpow7

“ Well she was just a stray kitten when me and my friends found her outside our school one day. My parents and I took her to the vet to get her checked out and when I found out that she was a stray with no microchip I begged my parents to let me keep her so they talked about it with each other for a minute and decided to let me keep her.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xRuiAzUR

“ Oh my god that’s such a touching story! Is she microchipped now?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4E1KViiAD

“ Oh yeah she’s microchipped now just in case if she ever gets away from us.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvZ1HkIHWz

“ That’s smart. So, I know this is probably going to be a weird question, but, do you have any family members who are deceased?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kSnLMG4x0

“ Yeah I have 3. My Grandpa George Sr. who’s my Grandma Mary’s husband, my Great Meemaw who’s my dad’s grandmother who I never met and my Auntie Dakota’s sister Makenzie.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ixr0QeHR

“ Do you what happened to them?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfnT2sPnp

“ Well not much was said about my Grandpa George so I don’t know what happened to him and from what I heard from everybody in my family is that he wasn’t exactly a very nice person when he was alive because he was an alcoholic so we don’t talk about him all that much, my Great Meemaw who my mom only got to meet once passed away from an unexpected heart attack and my Auntie Dakota’s sister Makenzie passed away from terminal brain cancer.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiUo6v0Qy5

“ Oh that’s awful!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr8fxN3UbM

“ Yeah but I guess that’s life. We all have to go eventually.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Sy88tcz2

“ That is so true. So tell me about your friends. How many friends do you have?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5W1LE3zh4

“ Well there’s my best friend Florence Crenshamezki, my friend Charlotte Tipton, my friend Summer Langenstein, my friend Julia Ratley and my friend Roberta Wayne or Robbie as we all call her so that’s 5 friends.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUO6Wawe6p

“ Wow you’re lucky, I only have one friend who’s my best friend Shaylynn Makowski but she lives somewhere up in Wyoming. I don’t have very many friends because of my stupid last name. Everybody’s always thinking of me as some crazy girl who’s just like her dad or a looney bat so to speak.”, Arista said as she made a corkscrew motion by her head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBDfbzcHAy

“ You look nothing like a looney bat Arista.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrl05VI0v6

“ I know. Besides if I was a looney bat I’d probably look like this.”, Arista said as she took her phone out and went to Google. She pulled up an image of Mr. Crocker from Fairly Oddparents spazzing out and showed it to Cayela who immediately started laughing her head off.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2q64M7Ty

“ Yeah you look nothing like Mr. Crocker from Fairly Oddparents!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnxg25BdTZ

“ Of course I don’t! The guy’s a fairy-obsessed teacher!”, Arista laughed as she put her phone away.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7btRwGVWCn

“ Yeah and he’s always saying something like ( imitating Mr. Crocker) I, am Mr. Crocker, will catch Timmy Turner and his FAIRY GODPARENTS! HA HA, HA HA! MOTHER!”, Cayela interjected at the top of her voice which echoed through the stairwell.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuKpBOWqB

“ Wow that was a really good impression! Where did you get that from?!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcji4YEJcI

“ Oh I found it on Youtube. It was some guy doing an impression of him, it was so funny.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBu0VEaL4n

“ Well that was great!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzOe2pfkYE

“ Thanks.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMAqfTXrif

“ Wow… this is different.”, Arista said when she noticed the waistband of Cayela’s diaper was sticking out over the top of Cayela’s shorts.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQxJeSgSPK

“ What is?”, Cayela asked in confusion as she stared at her new friend.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR1WSunVtg

“ Um this might be kind of a rude question to ask, but, are you wearing a diaper?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGys1TxefNW

“ Oh, that, well please don’t laugh at me. I have a form of Autism that affects my auditory processing sometimes and my bladder and bowel functions. I can’t ever use the bathroom so this is how my life’s been ever since I was a baby.”, Cayela said when she looked down briefly before looking back up at Arista.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMup2dK2rY9

“ Oh wow really?”, Arista asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOkyURBRR5

“ It’s kind of embarassing which is why I don’t like to talk about it that much in front of people. A lot of the kids at my school tease me about it but I’m really lucky that I at least have 5 friends that actually care about me and support me through it. Like I said, please don’t laugh at me and tell other people about it.”, Cayela said as she nodded her head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek7sI8SQSK

“ Oh you don’t have to worry about that Cayela, I totally get it. My mother Delia Stormbender is a teacher who works at an elementary school specifically for special needs kids. I’ve been around a lot of those kids who have a lot of similar problems like you when my mother needed a teaching assistant for certain lessons.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAblpSHYP

“ Really? Are those kids nice?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohjnajIDx8

“ Uh well they have their moments sometimes but yeah for the most part they’re really nice. I like all of them but I think there’s one that’s my favorite of my mom’s students.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF0SB3WTBA

“ Really? Who?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwxChH5qF

“ Her name’s Emma Kattranack. She’s 7 years old with cerebral palsy. She can’t talk and can’t see very well but she’s a very smart girl. I believe her strongest subject is actually math.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnD5S7vIRN

“ Really? How does she communicate with people?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy9d9uscKM

“ She sits in this motorized wheelchair with this keyboard computer-type device that sits in front of her feet. She uses her toes to type words with it to speak.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ5ng5d0em

“ Wow that’s interesting. So you said that she’s really good at math?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSGDNwNRGE

“ Oh yeah totally. All the kids in the class dubbed her as The Math Wiz because everytime my mother calls on her to answer a math question or equation it’s like Emma immediately knows what the answer is. Like, she’ll sit there and type out the answer with her big toe into her computer even before my mother finishes writing on the board and the second my mother calls on her to answer it she immediately taps the speak key and the answer comes out instantly. I’m telling you Cayela the girl’s a 7 year old math genius! It’s not even funny!”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MlD7POcfo

“ Wow that’s insane Arista! If she can’t see very well, how does she even know what your mother’s writing?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7WLWDjGak

“ Oh she’s sits at the front of the classroom and has these special glasses that are specifically designed for partially blind children to help them see better. It basically gives her the ability to have 20/20 vision. Without them she wouldn’t be able to see anything past her hand.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUofUoJT3kt

“ Is there anything that she enjoys doing?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBVfZxI5V

“ Oh yeah she loves drawing, painting, math which is obvious because she’s so good at it, opera singing and My Little Pony but I think her favorite game to play is something that I made up that she instantly loved the first time we played it is called Where’s Arista. It’s kind of a cross between hide and seek and Where’s Waldo except the only difference is that she’s the only one that’s always it and has to find me wherever I’m hiding. We play it all the time during recess and she loves it. She always gets this big smile on her face every time she finds me.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfutoALy0v

“ Oh that’s so cute Arista!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqcrplHOo3

“ I know Cayela and get this, she wants to become a theoretical physicist when she grows up.”, Arista said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelqY1Skte9

“ Oh my god are you serious?! That is so cute! Yeah with math knowledge like that she’ll be a great one someday!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALX01FjV0

“ I know I even told her that after she told me using her computer that that’s what she wanted to be.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggerHY4LSD

“ Well then you just keep telling her to never give up on her dreams because eventually she’ll achieve them and maybe even win a Nobel Prize just like my dad wants to.”, Cayela said as they stood outside the door to 4A.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhzYdNaykv

“ Thanks for the advice Cayela. I will.”, Arista said before Cayela opened the door and the two girls walked in.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItc3jU9cL2

“ Here Mom I got your work folder.”, Cayela said as she tossed the keys back to Leo who caught them in mid air.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmiz7fGCpx

“ Thank you Cayela.”, Leo said as she took her folder out of her daughter’s hands. Then she noticed Arista and asked, “ Who’s this?”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugCBwGkvRI

“ Oh, this is Arista Stormbender. I just bumped into her on my way back into the building and invited her up here to hang out in my room.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhIunGvmY

“ Yeah hi.”, Arista said with a smile on her face as she waved her hand.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9fxGtAuNa

“ Ok woah woah woah, wait what?! Did you just say Arista Stormbender?!”, Leo exclaimed as her eyes went wide.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZ0ZZAmZy

“ Yeah Mom. What’s the deal?”, Cayela asked as she stared at her mother.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lvjNCG7eY

“ Cayela I don’t think that this is such a good idea that you invited her up here. She’s a descendant of my enemy.”, Leo said in concern as she narrowed her eyes at her daughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES9Y0giaCu

“ Oh come on Mom, she looks completely harmless. When I bumped into her out in the parking lot she was just listening to music on her ipod.”, Cayela said as she rolled her eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqHl9M3bXw

“ What kind of music?”, Leo asked Arista in somewhat of an interrogating way.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUo20C6fd

“ Rock The Casbah by The Clash.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLGluAqIXP

“ I don’t believe you. Show me.”, Leo said with her arms crossed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmlGtO7llo

“ Ok.”, Arista said as she reached into her pocket, pulled out her ipod and handed it over. Leo looked at the screen and saw the exact song that Arista said it was Rock The Casbah by The Clash paused in the middle of the song.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchIZLJ2yIU

“ Ok…”, Leo said as she slowly handed Arista her ipod back who then put it back in her pocket.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kMAu3pdsE

“ What the hell is going on out here?!”, Leonard interjected when he came walking back out of his and Dakota’s bedroom.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbp0ekFKaf

“ What’s going on Leonard is that my daughter invited the daughter of my enemy to this apartment.”, Leo said in a stern voice.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ886W6wnDCb

“ For God sakes! Cayela why would you do that?!”, Leonard scolded his goddaughter.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz49FCqV1y

“ Uncle Leonard she’s harmless! She looks like any other normal teenage girl!”, Cayela shot back.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTh3IlCMNq

“ Cayela you don’t know that! You just met her! We don’t know what her intentions are! For all we know she could be acting all innocent just so she can gain your trust and then try to seriously hurt you or us!”, Dakota scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ycLgYeav

“ Look, I know this situation looks a little shady to you all but I can assure you that I’m not a threat and that I’m nothing like my dad what so ever. I swear.”, Arista said as she held up her hands.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAdlNyVC6d

“ I’ll be the judge of that. Please spread out your arms and legs for a moment.”, Sheldon said as he stood up and grabbed his scanning device that he had sitting on his desk. Arista let a sigh and rolled her eyes as she then spreaded herself out like a star allowing Sheldon to scan her entire body. Once he was done she returned to a normal standing position.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzxStC6d4y

“ I think the girl’s telling the truth Leo. I’m not detecting anything suspicious on her what so ever.”, Sheldon said when he looked at his wife.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoilmYal5Cb

“ Alright I’ll let it slide. Cayela and Arista you may go do what you want.”, Leo said as she let out a sigh.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKmJBAo00Z

“ Thanks Mom.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505S8RoLjP

“ You’re welcome Cayela. But listen here Arista, you try to pull any tricks and you’re out of here. Got it?”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpilagudKv

“ I got it loud and clear.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDTz554B4U

“ Alright.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeKxI5ufRf

“ Come on, I’ll go show you my kitty.”, Cayela said to Arista with a smile on her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXdJtCQlRi

“ Ok.”, Arista said with a smile as the two girls ran to Cayela’s room.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxPcnxDmCN

“ Cayela no running in the apartment!”, Sheldon scolded.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sba8M2LMH

“ I get it Dad!”, Cayela hollered back before she shut the door behind her and Arista.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETgF0FVT5k

“ Wow, I am shocked!”, Leonard exclaimed with a dumbfounded look on his face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afU5p1By9

“ Yeah me too! What the hell?!”, Dakota exclaimed as Sheldon took his phone out.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tt4jlPQnJ

“ Sheldon what are you doing?”, Leo asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsh6k5stf1

“ I’m calling Danny to see if he can find any information about Arista.”, Sheldon said as he scrolled through his contacts to find Danny’s number.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8HQyqTGaS

“ Honey you just said that she didn’t have anything suspicious on her.”, Leo said as she narrowed her eyes at her husband.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCGm8rClMj

“ I know I said that Leo but that doesn’t mean that I’m not still a little bit unsettled. I just want to be absolutely sure that this girl is not trying to pull something.”, Sheldon said as he tapped on Danny’s name and he put the phone to his ear.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDX1Gw6MMr

“ Sheldon?”, Danny asked when he answered the phone.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1wPZyq2n

“ Yes hi Danny. I have a very important question to ask you.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40nTBKInY

“ Ok and what is it?”, Danny asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomkEVKkAw

“ Do you perhaps know anybody by the name of Arista Stormbender?”, Sheldon asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjapdrnZbj

“ Um, isn’t that Devon’s daughter?”, Danny asked in confusion.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZ87618rn

“ Yes it is.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4g5PAj3kV

“ Why do you ask?”, Danny asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTcHijHcWR

“ Because she’s in our apartment hanging out with Cayela and I just want to be sure that she’s not just trying to gain her trust just so she can hurt us.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBB8HFx0B1

“ So, you want me to look up the Stormbenders criminal records is that it?”, Danny asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGJs2ohnOb

“ Yes if you could please do so that would be greatly appreciated.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYRIxIbKow

“ Ok sure, just hold on one second.”, Danny said as he turned to his computer in his office and did a search of the Stormbender family criminal records.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1DVeWOPJs

“ Um, I’m not seeing anything on Arista at all. All that’s coming up is records of her dad, her aunt, her uncle, her two cousins and her sister, that’s it.”, Danny said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Psf9FOCGY

“ Really? Are you sure Danny?”, Sheldon asked in confusion.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiRBDnuW6x

“ Yes Sheldon I’m looking right at the entire family record file on my computer right now and her name’s not in there. Arista has no criminal record what so ever.”, Danny said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk13kZvYPCe

“ Well alright. Thank you for letting me know.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAM3n8EpQg

“ Anytime Sheldon. Bye.”, Danny said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtn0gPjaE

“ Goodbye.”, Sheldon said as he hung up.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKpWDO371

“ Well what did he say buddy?”, Leonard asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy53Nrln8Lg

“ He said that he could find no criminal record on Arista what so ever Leonard. He looked at the entire family file and her name wasn’t in there.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19diFBOfPq

“ Wow, again I’m shocked!”, Leonard exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IcYcyZ2Nq

“ I don’t understand this! How is that girl not evil?! Her dad is a crazy mad scientist!”, Dakota exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVcA7XsLGp

“ I don’t know but this is weird!”, Leonard exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhmvka6icU

“ You know this is actually a first for me. Seeing a normal Stormbender.”, Leo said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq9JIaK3Ma

“ I believe it’s a first for all of us Leo.”, Sheldon said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN82Z1Bo4B

Cayela’s room…

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jd8OQoe0r

“ Wow, nice room Cayela.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNyVA5ii7

“ Thanks and I’m really sorry about what happened out there. My family’s kind of protective of me.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzcqL3ohA

“ Oh it’s ok like I said I get that a lot. It’s like the second people hear my last name they run for the hills.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ANs7oJVD9

“ What kind of things do people say to you when you introduce yourself?”, Cayela asked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ug6wGeFqe

“ Um they say things like: Oh my god Monster!, Get away from me!, Run for your lives!, You’re gonna kill us all!, You’re a psycho! you know it’s stuff like that that everybody says when they want to judge somebody.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjb7X99iww

“ Well I don’t think you’re any of that stuff. You seem like a really nice girl.”, Cayela said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1noD1v0uD

“ Thanks. You do too.”, Arista said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000xza1prk

Meow!

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUXCd584bN

“ Is this Oreo?”, Arista asked when she saw the cat get up from the pet bed laying on Cayela’s bed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Sg7J4T2J

“ Yeah this is my kitty! Come say hi Oreo!”, Cayela cooed as Oreo walked toward the edge of the bed and sat down. The little bell on her collar jingled as well.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymynoOjuhu

“ Hi Oreo! You’re so cute! Can I pet you?!”, Arista cooed as she reached out to touch Oreo’s head and the back of her neck.

“ Oh yeah she loves to be petted everyday. She’s so attention demanding all the time, like if you’re doing something and it doesn’t matter what it is and she wants attention from you she’ll litterally sit right next to you gently batting her paw at your arm meowing continuously until you give her attention but if you don’t give her the amount of attention that she’s seeking at that moment then she’ll litterally act like a little diva and smack her paw right in your face.”, Cayela said.

“ Oh really?!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQKIdD6Tv7

“ Yeah and it’s not just me that she does it to she does it to all of us in the apartment. She does it to my mom, she does it to my dad, she does it to my Uncle Leonard and she does it to my Auntie Dakota.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWtoB6zAF

“ That is so funny!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfIsY66zKX

“ Yeah but you’re probably gonna think this is even funnier. So, I was watching tv in the living room with my dad one day while my mom was writing stuff on her whiteboard, my Auntie Dakota was in the kitchen making a smoothie and my Uncle Leonard was sitting at his desk working on his laptop. So I was watching tv with my dad but I can’t remember what program it was but anyway something caught the corner of my eye so I turned my head toward where my Uncle Leonard was and saw Oreo jump up onto his desk right next to his laptop. She clearly looked like she was trying to get his attention because she kept batting her paw right in front of his face meowing at him but he was so focused on what he was doing that he kept gently pushing her paw away saying, “ Go away Oreo I’m working.” and this went on for 2 minutes straight I’m not even kidding.”, Cayela said with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwA9H51zFL

“ Oh my god really? Is there more to this?”, Arista asked with a smile.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULh1DB0hu3

“ Yeah there is. So like I said this went on for 2 minutes straight but when Oreo realized that she wasn’t going to get the attention she wanted she took her paw and smacked my Uncle Leonard right in the dead center of his face which knocked his glasses right off into his lap so he screamed, “ Oreo stop it!” which then caught my dad’s attention. My dad then grabbed the spray bottle and tried to aim it at Oreo to spray her with it but somehow he miscalculated his angle of trajectory so he accidentally ended up spraying my Uncle Leonard in the face instead.”, Cayela said with a smirk.

“ Oh wow I bet he was mad about that!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqL69spUYY

“ Oh yeah he was pissed but it gets even funnier! He started screaming at my dad for spraying him so I started laughing my but off but the icing on the cake came when my Auntie Penny suddenly came storming over from across the hall in her pink bath robe with a towel wrapped around her head screaming, “ What the hell are you idiots doing over here?! Have you nerdholes lost your minds?! I was practicing for an audition!” so then my mom, dad, Uncle Leonard and Auntie Dakota screamed, “ Penny get out!” and by that point I was laughing so hard that I fell off the couch!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7LJgKkA4m

“ Oh my god Cayela that is hilarious! It really sounds like you have a really funny family!”, Arista laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpDnr2xB8k

“ I know Arista! I’m so happy that my parents have really great friends like that! I love having them around and having them be a part of my life! I wouldn’t trade this huge family for any other in the entire world!”, Cayela laughed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkI3KVbJew

“ Again you’re very lucky. I never had that growing up. My parents were always in constant fights and at each other’s throats all the time. There’s actually one memory that I remember very well and I’ll never forget it. It happened when I was 2 and a half years old and my sister Raven was 4. I remember it like it was yesterday.”, Arista said as she started reminiscing about the day that her parents had a really huge fight and her mother had decided to divorce her father.

“ And that Cayela is pretty much the last time I saw my dad. It was the worst thing I ever experienced and ever since then I’ve been having nightmares about it.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUb1HpFGEF

“ Arista that’s horrible! It’s a good thing that your mom had the guts to stand up to your dad like that and end things with him before things got even worse!”, Cayela gasped.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjqOLAQ26r

“ Yeah I know and honestly I’m glad he’s out my life. What he did to me was absolutely horrible and I’m so happy I don’t have to deal with it anymore.”, Arista said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRID06Dpg87

“ Yeah well you’re gonna appreciate this, I know what happened to your dad.”, Cayela said.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsYVeMeayu

“ Oh it’s great news! Your dad’s been sent into cyberspace!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBA8LVtqNL

“ Shut up are you kidding me?! Is this a joke Cayela?!”, Arista exclaimed as she stared at her new friend with wide eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2efSxUyn5t

“ No I’m actually serious Arista! He’s just a bunch of dead deleted data floating around there now!”, Cayela exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5v0mjJPAP

“ Oh thank GOD!”, Arista exclaimed as she started to cry happy tears. Then she happily cried, “ I can’t believe this! How did he get there?!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgPunaSthn

“ My Uncle Howard and Auntie Amy did it after he tried to attack me and my friend Charlotte one night here in my bedroom when we were sleeping.”, Cayela said with a smile on her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRWZvwCF7

“ Then I owe them a huge thank you for this! Oh my god when I tell my mom about this she’s going to be so freaking happy!”, Arista happily cried. Then she shouted up at the ceiling, “ You hear that Dad?! Who’s the weakling now?!”

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaOhEtbwVt

“ Man that felt so good to say that!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIONuCHmr

“ Do you want to listen to some music?”, Cayela asked a smile on her face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd2B7R6Vrj

“ Heck yeah I do! I just found out that my dad’s been blasted into oblivion!”, Arista exclaimed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanM5vLr5CN

“ Hooray for the death of evil!”, Cayela exclaimed as she threw her hands in the air and pressed play on her wireless remote control to her speaker. The song that came out was Bad Guy by Billie Eilish.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteJiP84KlO

“ Yeah baby! You suck Dad!”, Arista exclaimed as the girls started dancing around to the obnoxious beat of the song.
