A short time later after Jasper showed up for a moment to remove the fog machine from Penny’s car and while Leonard was still sleeping in his room that he shared with Dakota, Cayela and Athena arrived home from school and entered the elevator from the lobby after Mrs. Crenshamezki dropped them off before they made their way up to the 4th floor just talking and laughing with each other. The moment they stepped out of the elevator on the 4th floor and were about to walk into Apartment 4A however was when Sheldon entered the hallway from Penny’s apartment across the hall and said, “ Oh good, you’re home. Sweetheart can you two please come over here for a moment? We have something really important to talk about.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZR05IX8un
“ Oh hi Dad, sure. Come on Athena, let’s go see what’s up.”, Cayela said as she walked into Penny’s apartment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKneAlgnGw0
“ Well ok whatever you say Cayela.”, Athena said as she followed her with Sheldon following after them before he shut the door behind them.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mzeGI2gW
“ Oh, hi Mom.”, Cayela and Athena said to their mothers at the same time with a smile as they went to hug them.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhfqQpyckQ
“ Hi girls.”, Leo and Dakota said with a smile as they embraced them back for a moment before they let go.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegNx6Agmdd
“ Did you have a good day at school?”, Penny asked with a smile as she hugged them too for a moment before she let go as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEbgXxY68
“ I personally had a good day.”, Athena said as she took her backpack off and set it down on the floor near the front door of Penny’s apartment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGtMALonHy
“ Me too although I will admit that I did have to go to the nurse’s office for a moment due to sneezing periodically several times out of nowhere during our skit in drama class today so Mrs. Dawson had to send me there just as a precaution to find out what it was.”, Cayela said as she did the same thing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1dr4JMLD9
“ Good Lord you were sneezing in class today?!”, Sheldon shrieked with wide eyes as he backed away a few feet from his daughter, thinking that she was sick.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgRYYHppRx
“ Dad would you relax, it was just allergies! The nurse just gave me a Claritin pill and sent me back to class after she changed my diaper too when I was having a hard time sitting still in her office by that point! I was fine after a few minutes!”, Cayela laughed as she shook her head at her father.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPpAW2Mu1
“ Oh, well thank God for that. For a second there I thought you were coming down with something.”, Sheldon said as he let out a sigh of relief.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLBPtHlTaj
“ Yeah I know you thought that but I’m fine! Dad you’re so weird sometimes, what is wrong with you?!”, Cayela laughed as she shook her head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZd24L0Ot1
“ What isn’t wrong with him is what we should be asking but honestly you know what your father’s more of a looney bat is what he is Cayela.”, Penny said as she took another sip of her wine.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZWXqJ1ule
“ Oh so he’s like Mr. Crocker from Fairly Odd Parents is what you’re saying Auntie Penny?!”, Cayela laughed in a joking manner which instantly caused Athena to laugh as well at what Cayela just said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9GttV7Rs9
“ Ha, Mr. Crocker! That’s a good one!”, Athena laughed as she smacked her thigh with her hand.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPonN7YFf93
“ Yes very funny… bazinga!”, Sheldon said in a little bit of a sarcastic voice in Athena’s direction even though he still didn’t really understand it. He then said, “ Anyway, that is not what we’re talking about here right now. Leo, do you wish to start the conversation about what we are talking about here at the moment?” as he then looked at his wife.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaKFTro7Kn
“ Sure Sheldon. Ok sit down Cayela because this is really important.”, Leo said in a monotone like voice as her and Sheldon created a space in between the two of them on the couch for their daughter to sit down as he then sat down again too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLRoi2uMz
“ Well ok. What’s up?”, Cayela said as she sat down in between her parents with Penny, Dakota, and Athena gathering around them as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHm0PyoI2M
“ Well, I’m sure for many years you’ve known from me, your father, and the rest of your family that I have a blood pressure deficiency that we told you is incurable right?”, Leo asked with a straight face as she looked at Cayela.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55h7Wp5Zbl
“ Yeah I do. Why do you ask Mom?”, Cayela asked in confusion as she stared at her mother, wondering what this was about.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvEsw2O0yk
“ Because it turns out that my condition is actually more curable than we first thought. It apparently has been this entire time and we didn’t realize it until today shortly before you and Athena got home from school.”, Leo said as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQ0cv5A5S
“ What?!”, Athena shrieked in shock as her mouth fell open.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMGytfQgP
“ Really?! How did you find that out?!”, Cayela asked in shock as her mouth fell open too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0VaY8Geag
“ Your father found that out late last night when he was doing something for work on his computer. He said that he stumbled across something about it on the internet that suggested that my condition was most likely caused by a malfunctioning medulla and the only way to cure it appears to be a medulla transplant.”, Leo said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIzSFavQQ6
“ Oh my god!”, Athena gasped.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEh8qqlsCt
“ That’s awesome!”, Cayela exclaimed as a smile began to spread across her face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUcofpCwe9
“ Yes I know. It’s exciting and I know you’re happy about it but… with that excitement comes a very scary downside to it that I want to make sure you’re very aware of ok.”, Leo said in concern as she blinked her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIeCp1m84S
“ Well ok, what is it then?”, Cayela asked as her smile began to fade a bit.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNliRv0o7ci
“ Sweetheart, unfortunately this procedure is very high risk and your father told me that patients who undergo this are given an estimated 50/50 percent chance of dying during surgery. So what I’m saying is that if I decide to have this procedure done in the hopes to cure my condition… there’s a possibility that you may not have me around anymore by the end of it.”, Leo said with a sigh as she gently rested her hand on her daughter’s knee.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbq0EeTRf7
“ Are you serious?”, Cayela asked in concern as Sheldon gently placed his hands on her shoulders while sitting next to and behind her. Athena gasped in shock again as she placed her hands over her mouth when she heard this too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdCeYfr8qR
“ Yes. But I didn’t want to make a decision without talking to you first to see what you think.”, Leo said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgAo8awUJ
“ Indeed. So what are you feeling at the moment?”, Sheldon asked in concern as he looked at his daughter when he got off the couch to kneel down next to her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1L37xoe1
“ Well, if you think this is gonna improve your life Mom then… I say go for it.”, Cayela said with a sigh.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnMPWlBiu8
“ Are you sure?”, Leo asked in shock as she blinked her eyes again. Cayela nodded her head before she said, “ I want you to do what you think will make you happy. I mean sure, of course I’ll be really upset if I lose you because you’re my mom and I love you but… I think I’ll be ok.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVIM0aHb6
“ You are such a brave little girl! Thank you, I love you too and that is something that I will always want you to know forever and ever whether I’m still here or not!”, Leo happily cried as she embraced Cayela with Sheldon doing the same thing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo07NRdpDM
“ Me too.”, Sheldon said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMNXqNjxpB
“ So what, that’s it? You’re going to do it?”, Dakota asked as she looked at her friend.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1cOQUkPuW
“ Well, despite the risk… I guess so. I’m gonna get the surgery.”, Leo said with a sigh as her and Sheldon let go of Cayela.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XMi8JKBD
“ Ok, well then good luck.”, Dakota said with a sigh as she embraced her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5WGbLjsFp
“ You got this bi*ch.”, Penny said in somewhat of an emotional tone as she did the same thing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4YZGEaWgM
“ Thank you but Penny please, not in front of the girls!”, Leo shot back at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty0S12r5ac
“ Oh sorry.”, Penny said as she then let go with Dakota doing the same.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u1ZIPDTqd
“ Yes well enough of this nonsense. We shall talk about that later but for now I guess we shall schedule this procedure as soon as possible.”, Sheldon said to Penny before he said that last part in Leo’s face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhBp2RpHdn
“ I’ll do it right now but after I do, let’s tell everyone else about it but… can we please not tell Leonard yet? I’m not sure what to say to him at the moment.”, Leo said as she took her phone out again to call the hospital about scheduling her medulla transplant procedure.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wsJixwDgL
“ Very well, I suppose that’s a fair request.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfZocv8x1q
“ Yeah I guess but why don’t you want my husband to know about it yet?”, Dakota asked in confusion.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s6vGiRe9o
“ Yeah, what’s the problem?”, Penny asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM3eP58fc1
“ Thank you Sheldon and to answer your questions Dakota and Penny it’s because the main problem is I’m afraid he’s gonna get really upset, telling me that I’m making a big mistake and the last thing I want is him getting so upset with me that he doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore and I don’t want to lose him as a friend. He’s become one of my closest best friends ever since I met him and I don’t know I just… how does somebody do that? Tell their best friend that they might die during a procedure that could give them an improved quality of life from a condition that they’ve had since they were 10 years old and was originally thought to be incurable in the first place? You know? I don’t know, it’s just a really weird feeling that I wish I didn’t have but unfortunately I do.”, Leo said with a sigh as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0Gp3LUD4
“ So you’re saying that you don’t want a potential repeat of what happened between Amy and Leonard before they made up happening between you and Leonard too?”, Dakota asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXEUfobpDg
“ Yeah that’s exactly what I’m saying Dakota because that was really awful to watch.”, Leo said as she nodded her head before she dialed her phone to call the hospital.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fktaXZuDY
“ You got that right.”, Dakota said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIUKe0Y05G
“ Totally and I completely understand that. We all have noticed that you and Leonard have definitely developed a very close friendship with each other since you met over the years. Almost as if you have a little bit of a brother/sister relationship between each other too which is kind of nice.”, Penny said as a slight smile began to spread across her face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVmTjbh9q1
“ Indeed.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUar83mlrh
“ Yeah yeah yeah I know that now will you guys shut up for a minute? I’m calling the… yes hello? This is Dr. Leo Fordyce-Cooper and I’m calling to see if I can get a medulla transplant scheduled by any chance.”, Leo said to her husband and their two friends as she held her hand up for a moment before she spoke into her phone when her call was answered. She then went into a little bit of her medical history while speaking on the phone before she got up to head to Penny’s kitchen island to write something down on a piece of paper. Then the conversation ended shortly after that and she hung up to say, “ Ok, that’s it. The procedure’s been scheduled in 3 weeks from today.”,
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhkwkAy4oS
“ Really? The week after Amy and Peter’s wedding?”, Dakota asked in shock as she stared at her friend.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9uRL83IIy
“ Yep, it’s the next Tuesday after it at 5 o’clock in the evening. It’s either gonna be the best night or the worst night of our lives. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess.”, Leo said with a sigh as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8avFu6XJo
“ True.”, Penny said as Sheldon and Dakota nodded their heads too. They continued to talk for a bit longer before they decided to call everyone else over to Penny’s apartment to talk to them as well while Leonard was still sleeping across the hall. They all showed up moments later and at some point during the conversation when Leo told them about what she found out from Sheldon regarding her blood pressure deficiency everyone was shocked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51o549bZrq
“ Really?!”, Mr. Fordyce, Mrs. Fordyce, Amanda, Donny, Junior, Kennedy, Stephen, Garrett, Aunt Sylvia, Jasper, Howard, Raj, Yesenia, Stuart, Peter, Paul, Axel, Artemis, Kenner, Grandma and Grandpa Fordyce, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Josephine, Raychel, Courtney, Nevel, Mrs. Cooper, Missy, Georgie, Mr. Harris, Mrs. Harris, Johnathan, Eamon, Mrs. Stormbender, Alvin, Molly, Danny, Shelina, Morgan, Kemdan, Amy, Bernadette, Melissa, Carmen, Megynn, Gia, Simon, Mr. Rivers, Mrs. Rivers, and Kesley asked in shock as they stared at her while Brady, Ariel, Helen, and April were playing with each other around them.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl977Svn95
Woof!
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TOIVsurpW
“ Yeah, it actually is. I’m not joking.”, Leo said with a smile as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUUTr4yEOf
“ Oh my god!”, Bernadette exclaimed with her mouth open.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8HX3rLB81
“ Leo that’s wonderful!”, Amy exclaimed as she threw her arms around her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIBBINwg8E
“ Hell yeah that is!”, Howard exclaimed as everyone started to celebrate by cheering, smacking hands with each other, and embracing each other.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bw9bDuV2p
“ Yes yes I know this is really exciting but there’s something important I should tell you about this and that is with this good news and excitement comes some bad news as well.”, Leo said in a serious voice as she put her hands up to get everyone to shut up for a moment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnxX46SE6
“ Wait, what? There’s bad news to this too?”, Danny asked in confusion as he stared at his friend with everyone else doing the same thing after they stopped what they were doing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaElAThhuY
“ Yes there is and this is probably something you’re not gonna want to hear.”, Leo said in a serious voice as she nodded her head while Sheldon stood next to her along with Dakota, Penny, Cayela, and Athena too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpU7fompt
“ Well then tell us, what is it?”, Amanda asked in concern as she stared at her sister.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUoB9TOAij
“ Yeah where are you going with this sis?”, Junior asked in concern as he did the same thing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0EUGnFRNM
“ I’m getting to that Junior and Amanda now shut up for a second!”, Leo hissed at them before she sighed and said, “ Anyway although this is exciting good news that there seems to be a cure for my condition after all, the bad news is that this medulla transplant surgery is very high risk and I found out from Sheldon that patients who undergo this procedure are given a 50 percent chance of dying during it. Meaning that there’s a 50 percent chance that I could live through the procedure completely cured from my condition as well as a 50 percent chance that the surgery could kill me.” to which instantly made everyone gasp in shock and concern as they all stared at each other for a moment before they looked back at her completely unsure of what to say.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivi9bNQnEB
“ Wow, really… that’s a very big percentage Leo.”, Garrett said in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA4alZ5w6G
“ Yeah I know it is Garrett.”, Leo said with a sigh.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZrmQcohJ2
“ So… are you basically telling us this because you’re going to have the procedure done?”, Molly asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfl9C5HR1F
“ Despite the risk of death, yes I am Molly. I already talked about it with Cayela and she told me that if I think this is going to improve my life then she told me to go for it even though she’s scared about possibly losing me.”, Leo said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3VHGAWa7J
“ Really?”, Raj asked in shock as he stared at Cayela who just nodded her head in silence.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2rAA6KPcP
“ Well, ok. When would you have it done?”, Amy asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6gEFwQAQ7
“ It’s scheduled for the Tuesday after your’s and Peter’s wedding 3 weeks from today at 5 o’clock.”, Leo said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XFlY4my32
“ 5 o’clock in the evening?”, Mr. Fordyce asked as he stared at his youngest daughter.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLSCuyOaQf
“ Yes.”, Leo said as she nodded her head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmowAk2XTB
“ Well we will all be praying for you no matter what happens.”, Mrs. Cooper said as she walked up to Leo and gently gripped her hands in hers.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGnRIT5CVw
“ Thank you.”, Leo said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXzqud3nkF
“ Yeah but wait a minute, does Leonard even know about this yet?”, Stuart asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ158eoSq0Fx
“ No he doesn’t Stuart, he’s still taking a nap but before you and anybody else rushes into anything can none of you say a word about this to him yet please? I honestly don’t know how I’m going to tell him at the moment because this is very sensitive.”, Leo said as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEolhrcdAuN
“ Well when are you going to tell him Leo?”, Paul asked as he scratched the back of his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxIgHxRxVs
“ I honestly don’t know Paul, I might just wait until the wedding to tell him because I need at least a week or two to figure this out. Leonard’s one of my best friends and the last thing I want is him getting upset to the point that he doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore. This is the same thing that I told Penny, Dakota, and Sheldon before all of you guys showed up.”, Leo said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoKYRsXKGx
“ Well sweetheart I’m sure he’s going to get upset anyway but he’s not gonna end your friendship.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKMVlpHnz
“ Yeah I agree, that’s ridiculous sis. Why would you ever think that in the first place?”, Kennedy asked as she stared at her sister.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPPu6RutXJ
“ Because you’re not the one who’s living with him Kennedy! I am and you don’t know that Mom! Trust me when I say this… Leonard is a very mixed, unpredictable person! It’s really hard to tell what’s going to make him upset and what’s not! I know that because at least a few times in the past since I’ve met him, he’s gotten pretty upset about certain things that I’ve said before sometimes and he would just yell at me in somewhat of a bitchy tone for no reason at all to which results in me being bitchy back to him! Like for instance this one time when he was still engaged to Dakota, he was watching an episode of Babylon 5 in our living room one day while he was sitting on the couch drinking a beer with his feet up on the coffee table when all of a sudden him and I got into an unprovoked argument with each other over the volume of the tv after I asked him nicely to turn it down due to the fact that it was ungodly loud and making my eardrums pulsate to which was really painful! Sheldon can even vouch for me on this because he was in our bedroom reading one of his comic books with the door shut when this was happening! This was shortly after Cayela had left for school with her best friend Florence, Dakota had left for the gym, and Penny had left for work! Oreo was also batting around a toy mouse on the living room floor as well while I was trying vacuum which was very annoying on top of me having to listen to that crazy old lady who used to live here in 5A above us thumping her broom on the floor to get us to shut up! Believe me, it was not fun dealing with that whatsoever!”, Leo hissed as she tossed her hair over her shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7atoiCU5
“ Indeed. It sounded like there was a whole rock concert in our apartment which was very obnoxious but however I just decided not to engage myself in the situation due to my wife sounding like she was very stressed at that moment and I didn’t wish to stress her more than she already was to begin with because I was afraid she was gonna beat the hell out of me if I did and I didn’t want that.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head in agreement.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuepVYllO7
“ Well hey at least you did something smart and reasonable for once Shelbot. I probably would have beat the hell out of you too, but with Raj doing it for me if that was me in that situation instead if you know what I’m saying.”, Howard said with a stupid smirk on his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVscp6ssnF
“ Oh yeah sure make the Indian do everything. That’s just racist Howard.”, Raj said in an unamused tone as he stared at his best friend with his crossed in front of his chest. His wedding band on his finger glistened underneath the lighting in Penny’s apartment when the light struck it a certain way which was no surprise given the fact that it was made of metal.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sGUqk8S5A
“ Oh please Raj, how is that racist what I just said?!”, Howard asked with a slight laugh as he stared back at him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjcr5pVV1u
“ Simple dude, I’m Indian and you like using me for your own personal benefit. That’s racist.”, Raj said as he continued staring at him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d0QOzuWqQ
“ No it’s not! You’re getting it all wrong! I like to use you because you’re my best friend, not because you’re Indian! Where the hell did you get that idea from?!”, Howard chuckled.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPQP3OTFA
“ You don’t know what I think.”, Raj said as he rolled his eyes and walked away from him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNBzngITg
“ Raj!”, Howard hissed at him to get him to shut up.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY247yi93A4
“ Alright Raj and Howard that’s enough! Can we please move onto a different subject?! You can fight about your stupid mumbo jumbo with each other later because as of right now none of us want to hear it ok!”, Leo hissed as she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, giving the two men a look of annoyance on her face while doing so which immediately made them shut up and look at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbWumvHP9X
“ Sorry Leo.”, Howard and Raj apologized.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxuDEd484f
“ Thank you.”, Leo said as she walked over to the couch to sit down on it again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1OM2zeKx5
“ Yes well back to the discussion at hand, sweetheart I really don’t think this is a good idea to keep a secret like this from your friend Leonard. If you wait until Amy and Peter’s wedding to tell him it will probably just make the situation 10 times worse than it should be and that won’t be good for any of us if we have to see him scream and yell at you like a complete psycho maniac much like how Dr. Stormbender did when he was still alive.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she shook her head in disagreement with what her daughter said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI36cKFe5hL
“ Yeah I get that Mom but you don’t know how I feel about this! This is a very scary situation to talk about, especially with somebody who is one of my best friends and is almost like a brother to me! The last thing I want to ever do to Leonard is scare the hell out of him by making him potentially face another heartbreaking loss in his life if I end up dying in the OR during this procedure! You and Dad as well as everyone in our entire family knows that I don’t like making people upset whatsoever, period! To me every time that happens it feels like a repetitive stab in the chest from a knife over and over again which was exactly how I felt when I lost Brady! Not to mention I also felt like that when Penny accused me of being a homewrecker the night that Sheldon and I confessed our feelings for each other after him and Amy broke up!”, Leo shot back as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhG9gueFx
“ Really?”, Penny said in shock.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjF4b1skG
“ Yes I did Penny but that’s not the point! The point is that I don’t want to make anyone upset, period! It’s just not a good feeling to me!”, Leo said with a sigh.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXpROAvxgy
“ We know that honey but sometimes there comes a point where things like this are unavoidable and you just have to go through them no matter what as badly as you don’t want to.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she looked at her daughter straight in the face with a serious look.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCI617brlw
“ You really think I should tell Leonard about this right now Mom?”, Leo asked as she rolled her eyes at her mother.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOCtDnww7N
“ Yes I really do Leo because this is what true friends do. They tell each other the truth about what is going on in their lives.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdePJM0Mlr
“ Yeah but what if he…?”, Leo asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFNgovMHj
“ Sweetheart listen to me, if he’s really your best friend then he’s not going to end your friendship over this. Trust me, real friends don’t act like that. Ever. They will stand with you through thick and thin and will never walk away, even if you do or say something that upsets them.”, Mrs. Fordyce said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD3kgfzPnN
“ I don’t want to make him cry though!”, Leo protested.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeWzd2UmPD
“ I know you don’t but it’s a normal part of life. Everyone cries once in a while, it’s just a normal human reaction to something upsetting. But you know what, maybe Leonard might surprise you and not cry at all. Who knows? But you need to tell him to find out and you need to do it sooner rather than later because I really do believe that if you do wait until the wedding to tell him then he is gonna get mad at you for keeping this a secret from him and you’re the one who said it yourself that you don’t want that. We don’t want it either so please tell him when he wakes up from his nap because we’re not gonna do this secrecy stuff. It’s wrong and inconsiderate.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as she shook her head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVsKY8Pn9s
“ Fine, you’re right. As badly I don’t want to tell him about the 50% risk of death during my surgery, I need to in order for our friendship to have any chance of survival from this.”, Leo said with a sigh as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQuVg8tXHA
“ Exactly. If you’re honest with him then everything will be just fine. He’ll still be your friend, he’s not going anywhere.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEltl0Q1A6
“ Alright I get it, you win Mom. I’ll tell him.”, Leo said with a sigh.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElmZmmUyMd
“ Thank you.”, Mrs. Fordyce said as they all took their conversations with each other back over to 4A for a while longer before they began to hear Leonard’s voice from his and Dakota’s room moments later saying, “ Oh hi Oreo, whatcha doing on my head?”

“ Well it sounds like somebody’s awake from his nap in here finally. How are you feeling Leonard?”, Dakota asked her husband with a smile as she walked in the room with the others gathering around as well just as Oreo shifted her position against the top of Leonard’s head when she woke up from her catnap as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFVnyE8PD
“ Better Dakota, still a little sore but better.”, Leonard said to his wife as he slowly sat up in the bed and put his glasses back on his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjvbEJvZr6
“ Well that’s good to know.”, Dakota said as she slipped his wedding band back on his finger and gave him back his wristwatch after she grabbed it off the nightstand.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAH2UuOZeq
“ Indeed.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head with several of the others doing the same.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUxgylhxH0
“ Yeah of course it is.”, Leo said in somewhat of a sarcastic tone as she crossed her arms.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4TeJeBJF4
“ Ok Leo we don’t need the sarcasm, especially since you have something important to tell Leonard at the moment.”, Mrs. Fordyce scolded her daughter as she motioned her head in Leonard’s direction for a second.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnF2bic5YP
“ Aww come on Mom, do I really have to tell him?!”, Leo protested as she rolled her eyes at her mother and uncrossed her arms.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8otk8XE4P
“ Yes because you agreed to tell him about this, so do it!”, Mrs. Fordyce scolded as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JpVXGS7k
“ Do what and tell me what? What’s going on here?”, Leonard asked in confusion as he began to stare at both women, wondering what they were talking about.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PZjHcvPnW
“ It’s nothing, she’s talking about… ok fine, I was just gonna say that, um…”, Leo started to say with a sigh only for Danny to suddenly butt in exclaiming, “ Yes, hallelujah! Leonard we got some great news here! I just got word over the radio that we found your car!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE8VOl73nB
“ Really?! That’s great Danny! Ow! Can somebody help me get up please?”, Leonard exclaimed with a hiss of pain as he tried to get up, not realizing that he still had gunshot wound on his hip as well as a broken nose from the night before making his voice sound a little bit nasally which made Oreo get up and jump off the bed landing on all fours.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qoAOYeCU7
“ Oh son of a bitch, fine I’ll let you get up but please be careful. I don’t want you ripping the stitches out of your hip wound.”, Dakota said as she rolled her eyes and gently reached out to grab one of Leonard’s arms with Amy and Bernadette grabbing his other one to help him stand up.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31s4tMI73b
“ Fair enough, thanks.”, Leonard said as the three women carefully walked him out of the room with the majority of the others to leave the apartment leaving Leo and Danny alone in the room causing Leo to narrow her eyes at him, crossing her arms again as she hissed in his face, “ Really dude?! Why?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAUOf4FYCR
“ Why what?”, Danny asked as he looked at her in confusion.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpo3eIbxj
“ Why did you interrupt me Danny when I was just about tell Leonard what I told all of you a few minutes ago?!”, Leo hissed as she tossed her hair over her shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xCEUh2YqY
“ I was just letting him know that we found his car. I didn’t mean to Leo, this just came in over my radio. What the hell did you expect me to do? This is my job.”, Danny said as he briefly pointed at his radio sitting on his shoulder attached to his policeman uniform that he was wearing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzRcui4Qp
“ I know this is your job but you could’ve waited a few minutes until after I was done telling Leonard what I wanted to say!”, Leo hissed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkR8eKzBOe
“ So? You can still tell him. You can tell him on the way to pick up his car. No problem with that.”, Danny said as he rolled his eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvC1RSEEp
“ Really?! You expect me to still tell him after you basically ruined the moment with your unwanted interruption into the conversation we were having?! You’re a real douche sometimes Officer Danny Leroy Metcalf!”, Leo said as she shook her head and walked out of the room past him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlIaRO4Xrs
“ Well hey at least I’m not the one who originally wanted to wait until the wedding to tell Leonard about their potential upcoming death from a surgical procedure that they’re getting to cure their medical condition in the first place Dr. Leo Alejandra Fordyce-Cooper!”, Danny shot back as he followed after her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfRlwi7wsd
“ Oh grow up!”, Leo’s voice hissed as they walked out of the apartment and she slammed the door shut behind them. They all then left the building to go retrieve Leonard’s car but as they were doing so Leonard then turned to Leo and asked, “ So… what was it that you wanted to tell me Leo before Danny interrupted you to tell me about my car?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8c9NTFUK4
“ Oh… um… well I was gonna say… oh f*ck it. Ok you know how for years since you guys have met me I’ve been telling you all about my blood pressure deficiency that I’ve had since I was 10 and the fact that it’s incurable?”, Leo said with a sigh as she did a head rotation, looking into Leonard’s eyes as they sat in the backseat of Amy’s car along with Sheldon, Dakota, Cayela, and Athena while Amy was driving with Peter sitting next to her in the passenger seat just engaging in conversations with each other as they were following behind Danny, Molly, and their daughter April while the others were following behind Amy in their vehicles too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d3PpKZ0wJ
“ Yeah, what about it?”, Leonard asked as he blinked his eyes behind his glasses on his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPegAGUSk
“ Well it turns out that it’s been curable this whole time and my family and I have just been receiving misinformation about it.”, Leo said as she did the same thing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqMbqH7M9n
“ Seriously? How did you find that out?”, Leonard asked in shock as he pushed his glasses up on his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScjpWfB9d
“ I found out about it from Sheldon. He was up a little late last night doing something important for work after we got back from leaving you and Dakota at the hospital and I had gone to bed after putting the girls to bed. He was looking for some citations for a research paper he was working on when he happened to stumble across an article online that suggested that my condition is most likely caused by a malfunctioning medulla and the only way to treat it or cure it essentially is a medulla transplant procedure.”, Leo said in somewhat of a flat tone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3cmAiwvrX
“ Really?! That’s awesome Leo!”, Leonard exclaimed as a smile began to spread across his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEisVAFEJRD
“ Yeah I know. It’s… it’s exciting.”, Leo said with a less than enthusiastic smile.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Q1MyhCLo
“ Yeah it is but… you don’t seem too excited about it.”, Leonard said as his smile kind of faltered a bit while staring at his best friend.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rAaPmtqpF
“ Well no I am excited it’s just… I’m also really scared about the outcome.”, Leo said in flat monotone like voice.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET06WtZrZh
“ Well is there some bad news about this that I don’t know about?”, Leonard asked in concern while staring at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWl4DXq1r8
“ Yeah there is and I’m terrified to tell you about it because I don’t know how you’re going to take it.”, Leo said in a frightened tone as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Zwm411CD
“ Well what is it? Just tell me.”, Leonard asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazWktNjVTF
“ Ok, well, I found out that this surgery is very high risk and while there’s a 50% chance that it can cure my deficiency there’s also the other 50% chance that… I may not live through it.”, Leo said with a sad sigh.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH23dlTFFUb
“ A 50% risk of death? Are you serious Leo?”, Leonard asked in concern and shock at what she just told him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2UXbqm7c
“ Yeah Leonard.”, Leo sadly said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtftfrCCWO3
“ 50%?”, Leonard asked in concern again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj6ReYHRSs
“ Yes.”, Leo sadly said as she nodded her head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNvZuesKad
“ Are you sure that’s accurate?”, Leonard asked in concern, still not believing what he was hearing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsma8kSzkTD
“ It’s what Sheldon told me. I have to take his word for it because he sounded pretty serious when he did so.”, Leo sadly said as she moved her hair out of her face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLs6BQj4Ui
“ No bazinga?”, Leonard asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70caAmRj1N
“ Yeah, no bazinga.”, Leo sadly said as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDyIeItbHu
“ Does Cayela know about this?”, Leonard asked in concern as he scratched his nose for a minute.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfZx09DeFH
“ Yes, I told her about it when she got home from school with Athena this afternoon and she said that although she is scared about possibly losing me she did tell me that if I think this is going to benefit my life then I should take it and so I am going to do it despite the risks.”, Leo sadly said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkshOchh4R
“ Wow, o-ok then, when would you have the procedure?”, Leonard asked in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3xNPOmQeV
“ Well, Amy and Peter’s wedding is in three weeks on a Tuesday so it would be the next Tuesady after it at 5 o’clock in the evening. I already called the hospital to set it up.”, Leo sadly said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0k87kR1Nv
“ Well alright… I appreciate you telling me this because if you didn’t I probably would’ve gotten mad.”, Leonard said in concern.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKuHFxgKnO
“ Yeah that’s the same thing my mother told me.”, Leo sadly said before she sadly asked, “ Are you ok?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxeUQvz4Fz
“ Uh… yeah, I’m fine. This is just really shocking to hear is all.”, Leonard said in a flat tone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7gQJBcWl
“ Are you sure about that?”, Leo sadly asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwkQic2zi
“ Yes, honest.”, Leonard said in that same tone as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxWBvAZQUZ
“ Ok if you say so, thanks for listening Leonard.”, Leo said before she then turned to talk to Sheldon.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCyB91MHib
“ Of course Leo.”, Leonard said in a flat tone before he settled back into the seat to let Leo’s words play over and over again in his head in silence. Although he was happy on the outside that Leo had a potential cure for her condition there was a part of him on the inside that was beginning to make him feel sad about the possibility that he might never see her again after the surgery which was no surprise because he really enjoyed having her around in his life and just couldn’t imagine what his life would be like without her. He continued to let his thoughts wander until the moment that everyone reached the location where Leonard’s car was to retrieve it to which it was found abandoned in a gravel lot at an undisclosed location leading to a showdown between all of them, Ivas, Twister, and the two dingbats that attacked Leonard when they suddenly appeared to ambush them. However shortly after the altercation ends with Ivas and Twister getting cremated alive and the two other men getting arrested before they get deported back to Mexico to serve their prison sentences there, Leonard then finds himself waking up in the middle of the night at home due to a wave of sadness just suddenly striking him out of nowhere regarding the discussion that Leo had with him about her upcoming surgery prompting him to start looking at a few pictures of them together on his phone before he took his phone and quietly got up out of bed after he put his glasses on without waking up his wife Dakota who was sound asleep and didn’t hear a thing as well as Leo, Sheldon, Athena, and Cayela too when he quietly walked out of the apartment after he grabbed his inhaler off his desk in the living room. He then slowly made his way down the 4 flights of stairs, making movements that resembled a sad zombie while being careful not to alert Penny and Melissa when he walked past both of their apartments and kept walking wearing his white t-shirt, boxer shorts, and white socks that he always wore every night until he reached the bottom of the stairs and walked into the complex’s laundry room but the moment he got in there was when he threw his back against the wall and began to cry before he slammed his fist against one of the machines sobbing, “ D*mn it! God why are you doing this to me?! Why are you making me face the potential loss of my best friend from a surgery that’s supposed to cure her from her blood pressure deficiency?! What the hell on Earth did I ever do to deserve this?! This sucks and just… god why Leo?!” after he took his glasses off to set them down.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfli9g7tciO
“ And son of a bi*ch ow this hurts, curse my stupid gunshot wound but more importantly just… Leo… why?! We already lost Sheldon’s grandmother, Summer’s dad, Dakota’s sister, Florence’s sister and hell we even almost lost Sheldon once… the last thing I want is to possibly lose you too! In fact, I’m going to look this up myself right now because there’s no way that this could be accurate!”, Leonard cried as he hissed in pain for a moment due to his gunshot wound before he took out his phone to look up Leo’s condition as well as the surgery to cure it on Google after he put his glasses back on despite the tears still coming down his face. When he found the information he was looking for and began reading it through his tears silently in his head he felt like he couldn’t breathe when he saw that the claims were indeed accurate.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCcGRcQn07
“ 50% chance of death… you’re right Leo! This sucks!”, Leonard sobbed as he took his glasses off again, setting them aside as he then opened the door to one of the dryers and stuck his head inside it to let out a loud crying scream after he pressed the door against his neck to try to contain the sound to avoid being heard by everyone else in the building before he took his head out, shut the door, and sniffled, “ Ok ok, get it together Dr. Leonard Hofstadter! You’re just over exaggerating and being paranoid! Your friend’s gonna be ok… she just has to!” before he sobbed again, “ Oh f*ck!” as he then put his glasses back on, grabbed his phone, his inhaler, and headed outside to his car in the parking lot, crying and screaming while punching his fists into the dashboard repeatedly as if he was the Incredible Hulk after he was able to get in and shut the door behind him to contain the noise he was making so that no one would hear him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwmSsEojgq
“ This is bullsh*t! Why?! I don’t understand this! Leo you mean so much to me as a best friend, almost like a sister! I don’t want to lose you, we’ve already suffered a lot of loss enough as it is! (Cough cough) God this sucks!”, Leonard cried as he let out a cough before he picked up his inhaler and sucked on it for a moment. He then grabbed a tissue out the center console and blew his nose with it in an attempt to compose himself enough to go back inside the building. However shortly after he did so, he suddenly found himself falling asleep on the laundry room floor for the rest of the night and by the next morning he was suddenly woken up by frantic footsteps running down the stairs followed by his name being screamed repeatedly by his wife Dakota as well as Leo, Sheldon, Melissa, and Penny screaming for him too amongst Cayela screaming, “ Uncle Leonard!” and Athena screaming, “ Dad!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJelMrZ1gIm
‘ What the…?’, Leonard thought as he slowly began to sit up on the floor just as Dakota popped her head in the doorway briefly screaming, “ You guys I found him! He’s in the laundry room!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2TXKQJFVX
“ Oh thank God Leonard, you scared the hell out of us! Are you ok?!”, Leo said with a sigh of relief as she came in and threw her arms around him with Sheldon, Dakota, Penny, Melissa, Cayela, and Athena doing the same thing while making sure to not cause any further injury to him due to his gunshot wound and broken nose.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51d1Hkq8xh
“ Yeah I’m fine Leo, I just had a rough night is all!”, Leonard said with a sigh as he gently rubbed the sleep out of his eyes when he took his glasses off for a moment before he put them back on again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bQGLU6qhf
“ Yeah clearly honey if you spent the night down here without us knowing about it but anyway that’s not important right now. The important thing is that you’re ok and nothing happened to you.”, Dakota said with a sigh of relief as she let go of him with the others doing the same too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzgGZ317qB
“ Indeed.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7ubMqgJw
“ Yeah well if you say so.”, Leonard said before he asked, “ Anyway, what time is it?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdLtFITkx7
“ Well according to my phone it’s a quarter to 9.”, Melissa said as she pulled her phone out to look at it for a moment before she put it away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDGWeKOVbA
“ Oh god we need to get going for the day then, otherwise the girls are going to be late for school and we’re going to be late for work to which I don’t think any of us want.”, Leo said as she walked out of the laundry room to start heading back up the stairs.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gAVv37Rp
“ True.”, Leonard said as they all began heading back upstairs to get ready for the day.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDssYFxl3P
“ Yeah well I don’t think so mister, you’re not going to work today! You just got injured two nights ago and if you’re not careful you’re gonna end up pulling out the stitches of your gunshot wound on your hip which won’t be good for any of us if that happens!”, Dakota scolded her husband as she shook her head and continued following him up the stairs.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnwQxzoNX
“ Dakota I already spent the afternoon yesterday taking a nap that you forced me to and I’m not doing it again. I’m fine, I don’t need this. Especially since I just had a rough night last night so just drop it ok.”, Leonard said in annoyance in somewhat of a nasally voice to his wife as he rolled his eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus90mDeOjq
“ But… ugh, fine. I’ll let you go to work Leonard but just promise me you won’t overdo yourself today. Don’t be lifting anything heavy in your lab while you’re doing your experiments please. The last thing I want is you ending up back in the hospital for accidentally pulling your stitches out or something of that nature. We already got enough to worry about as it is with Leo’s high risk surgery coming up in 3 weeks, we don’t need to be worrying about you too on top of that.”, Dakota said with a defeated sigh as she scratched the back of her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi0wKkuv9T
“ I get it, fair enough honey.”, Leonard said as the two of them kissed each other before they went about getting ready for the day with the others doing the same and after the girls were dropped off at school they all went their separate ways for work where everything was just like any other day but however when lunchtime came around at Caltech, Leonard told Leo, Sheldon, Howard, Raj, and Amy that he felt like eating his lunch by himself in the lab instead of with them in the cafeteria at their usual table when he suddenly felt that same sad feeling coming back again which immediately began to concern them and suspect that something was wrong due to the fact that it wasn’t like him to say that at all and so shortly after they got back to work from their lunch break they all decided to confront Leonard to see what was going on with him with Leo asking him if he was ok to which he just gave her a half a** response saying that he was in order to avoid talking about it so that he could go back to working on his laser but even this just raised more questions among them rather than answers, that was until the day of Amy and Peter’s wedding shortly when the answer became very clear after Leonard had fully recovered from his injuries as well as after Amy and Peter said their I Do’s and after Dakota had a short conversation with Leonard’s mother Beverly and also met Leonard’s father Alfred for the first time as well as Athena meeting him too after Amy had invited them for whatever reason despite the fact that they couldn’t stand to be around each other due to their bitter divorce caused by Alfred’s cheating as well as Leslie, Kripke, President Siebert and his family, Dr. Gablehauser, and Mrs. Davis too after Peter agreed to let them come when Amy asked him if she could invite them in the first place. Amy’s parents were also there as well as Peter’s parents and family including Leo’s family and everybody else they knew which also included Cayela, Athena, their friends and Cayela’s boyfriend along with their families too. As everyone was mingling with each other and having a good time at the reception over the music playing following the wedding ceremony which included President Siebert and his wife’s teenage daughter just goofing off with some of her friends that came with her, something suddenly happened that startled everyone that came from the direction that Leo and Leonard were standing which was by one of the glass doors leading into the reception room at the banquet hall that Amy and Peter made reservations for shortly after Leo had scheduled her medulla surgery.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR2FT4ASnl
“ For God sakes Leo will you stop asking me that?! I SAID I’M FINE FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME ALREADY! LEAVE ME ALONE!”, Leonard shouted at her at the top of his voice before he stormed out the door, crying and slamming it behind him so hard much like The Incredible Hulk that the door made a loud bang as the glass shattered all over the place causing everyone to gasp and stare as the music ceased playing and everyone fell silent, wondering what Leonard’s sudden outburst was about.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PO0jalUak
“ DAD!”, Athena shrieked, breaking the silence as her mouth fell open.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrT0NvjVVn
“ Oh son of a bitch Leonard.”, Alfred said as he rolled his eyes at what his son just did.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTCFs1Cbhu
“ More like son of a bi*ch to you wrinkled old b*stard?!”, Beverly hissed as she glared at her ex-husband.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumhXkduY8N
“ Excuse me but that’s not helpful you hateful shrew, especially after what our son just did for seemingly no reason at all! Your comments are not needed at a time like this!”, Alfred shot back as he waved his hand off at her as a way to diss her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41u3CEeUw9
“ Well neither is your attitude! What the hell just happened here?!”, Mrs. Fowler hissed in somewhat of a vindictive angry tone as her husband Larry stood a few feet behind her in silence like the mousy little man he was while everyone was standing around them wondering what was going on as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiu9NumeSX
“ It’s nothing Mom, Leo and Leonard are just having a fight!”, Amy butted in as she held up her hands in front her as a way to keep her mother from losing it.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJLhjpzQqq
“ It’s not a fight between us Amy! I know exactly what this is! In fact, it’s very clear to me now!”, Leo shrieked before she turned to her mother and shouted with tears starting to fall down her face as she angrily threw her finger at her, “ I knew Leonard was gonna get upset about my upcoming surgery, I KNEW IT! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DIDN’T WANT TO TELL HIM ABOUT THIS! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT MOM!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJYqLdclT
“ Leo!”, Mrs. Fordyce interjected back in concern at her daughter as she stood next to her husband looking like her heart just skipped a beat.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthOdfBMl9
“ Don’t talk to me right now!”, Leo shouted as she bolted out the door crying, “ Leonard come back here! Where are you going?!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqSr10t7FD
“ MOM!”, Cayela shrieked as she started to cry.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySrMHKoKH
“ Bestie not now, calm down it’s ok.”, Florence said as she rubbed Cayela’s back with her hand while some tears began to come down her face too with their friends gathered around them looking upset as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTlc5fELWy
“ God there’s always a problem isn’t there?!”, Mrs. Davis said in an unamused tone as she threw her hands up and rolled her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSOrFStMG4
“ Mrs. Janine Davis let’s not involve ourselves in this situation right now. This is clearly an issue between Dr. Fordyce-Cooper and Dr. Hofstadter at the moment, we don’t need to get in the middle of it. This doesn’t concern us so let’s just leave it alone and let these two work things out themselves. They’re scientists, they can probably figure this out using their own logic.”, Dr. Gablehauser butted in as he gently touched her shoulder with his hand.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABjQC1xsf
“ Well fine, if you say so Dr. Eric Gablehauser. I will shut up and mind my own business.”, Mrs. Davis said with a sigh as she backed off.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Z2rTTI11
“ Thank you.”, Dr. Gablehauser said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOqWDPyfY0
“ Well this is just ridiculous! Leo’s getting surgery?! What surgery are you people talking about?!”, Mrs. Fowler hissed in that same vindictive tone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7KYw6lVU
“ Well my God woman if we knew we wouldn’t be asking the same godd*mn question as you now would we?!”, Beverly hissed at her as she rolled her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfDEwXA3o4
“ Don’t test me bi*ch!”, Mrs. Fowler hissed as she jerked her finger at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4DUIgvXs
“ Will you two shut up?! Leo’s getting a medulla transplant to cure her blood pressure condition next week is what this is about and Leonard is clearly really upset about it so can you seriously please stop because this is really not helping the situation right now!”, Raj shouted at them with his wife Yesenia standing next to him gripping his hand in hers.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfLfB3rxT
“ Couldn’t agree more with you Rajesh!”, Sylvia said as she held her wine glass up for a moment before she took a sip of it while Jasper was standing next to her drinking a glass of wine as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoddSgRdR6
“ Ok thank you Raj and Sylvia, I got it from here! Ladies ladies can we please just be civil here? This is not necessary at the moment.”, Peter butted in, trying to defuse the situation as he appeared next to his new wife Amy that he just married that day.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLu3yX8qEE
“ You just stay out of this Peter! This has nothing to do with you!”, Mrs. Fowler shouted in his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8JJgEHis5
“ Hey don’t yell at our son like that! We just became family today!”, Mr. Thomas shouted as he gestured to himself and his wife standing next to him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL80OvwuSh
“ I will yell at whoever I want! Back off before I make you!”, Mrs. Fowler shouted at him too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWqRoh3pIL
“ Mom, enough! You’re not…!”, Amy shouted only for Paul to interrupt her with, “ Ok Amy butt out please, I got this!” before he shouted at Mrs. Fowler, “ Hey lady I don’t appreciate you yelling at my narrator and his family at the moment so could you please cut that out before you end up killing somebody here?! In fact, do you want us to end up writing a Forensic Files episode on you for being an unreasonable vindictive person?! ‘Cause we can do that if that’s what you want and we can call it Vindictive Killer! What do you think about that?!” which instantly made Cayela stop crying and bust out laughing along with her friends and her boyfriend doing the same thing as well as President Siebert’s daughter and her friends too at what Paul just said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEUp3mnFob
“ Oh no he didn’t with Forensic Files! Yeah baby, these crime show guys are a real riot!”, Charlotte laughed as she smacked her hands together repeatedly in amusement.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KpuN7YT4C
“ Charlotte shut up! You don’t know what it is you’re even talking about right now!”, Florence laughed as she playfully smacked her friend in the shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAml7eGerw
“ Well neither do you Flo!”, Charlotte laughed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HCjplhl6e
“ Stop calling me that! How many times do I have to tell you?! I told you nearly a thousand times already that I look nothing like Flo from Progressive Home and Auto Insurance! Stop associating my name with her, it’s stupid! It’s the reason why most of the other kids at school laugh at me these days because of the fact that you started this stupid joke about my name back when we first met in elementary school!”, Florence laughed as she narrowed her eyes at her unamused.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmicANjT5Oh
“ So?! It’s just a harmless joke Florence, it’s not that big of a deal!”, Charlotte laughed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LSLy00gWJ
“ Yeah well it is to me! I don’t like it so can you please stop! We’re friends and this is not what friends do!”, Florence shot back.

“ Alright fine you’re right, I admit it. That wasn’t cool of me to make that joke about your name shortly after we first met in the first place. I thought it was funny but now I see it was probably more so just disrespectful. I’m sorry, from now on I won’t call you that anymore ever again.”, Charlotte apologized after the two of them calmed themselves down from laughing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFSs9A6cjh
“ It’s ok I forgive you, thank you.”, Florence said with a smile as the two girls embraced each other for a moment before they let go.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrZLlmcdGB
“ Of course.”, Charlotte said with a smile too.

“ Oh son of a bi*ch you got to be kidding me. Is this a wedding reception or Mad Max and The Thunderdome?”, Beverly said as she rolled her eyes while sipping a glass of wine in her hand.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0uht5S5Dh
“ Well to everyone else it’s a wedding reception but to me it’s The Thunderdome because of the fact that I have to stand here staring at you Beverly!”, Alfred shot back at his ex-wife just glaring at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vLbDEIEBS
“ Oh put a sock in it Alfred and shut up! I wasn’t talking to you but anyway a better question is… what the hell is Forensic Files?!”, Beverly hissed at her ex-husband before she turned to Paul and asked him said question.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dS1GR32w9
“ It’s a popular tv show I wrote that documents real people and the crimes they committed in real life that get uncovered by forensic investigators. In fact, here. Let me show you a little bit of it so you can see what I’m talking about.”, Paul said as he then took his phone out and went on YouTube to show her and Alfred a little snippet of his show from one of the previous episodes that him and Peter have done.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcW33ludGj
“ This is your show?”, Alfred asked as he took a look at it.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJAvoQNlU
“ Yes it is.”, Paul said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbREGr3Pin
“ Interesting, very impressive show. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before.”, Beverly said as she looked at it too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZhamU28j
“ Me neither. How did you come up with that Paul?”, Alfred asked in curiosity.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71GIaYGk7v
“ I honestly don’t know Alfred. It was just an idea that came to me I guess but can I ask you a question?”, Paul asked as he put his phone away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjk0YFXlo
“ Sure what is it?”, Alfred asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9hUdq0AFg
“ How is it that you and ex-wife have never heard about my show before but your son Leonard has?”, Paul asked as he blinked his eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxHJr0adMt
“ Probably because we’ve been more so focused on our careers. My work in anthropology as well as her work in neuroscience and psychiatry have always been more of a priority so we haven’t had much time to be watching tv to really know about it.”, Alfred said as he briefly pointed between himself and his ex-wife.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgA7kuwnu
“ Pff, ain’t that truth.”, Beverly derivatively scoffed as she turned her head and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms in front of her chest after she set her wine glass down as if she was completely annoyed by what he just said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnaAuZAylm
“ What the hell is that supposed to mean you witch?!”, Alfred hissed as he stared at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYzeGB9hE
“ Oh you already know what that meant you mattress hopping bone boy! Don’t act like this is your first time hearing this crap because that’s just bullshit!”, Beverly shot back at him when she turned her head to look at him again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBKFJ01rCc
“ Well so is the crap that’s coming out of your mouth too so who’s fault is that?!”, Alfred hissed as he briefly jerked his finger at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHEwaYO0sc
“ Nobody but yours you loathesome son of a bi*ch!”, Beverly hissed as she did the same thing only for Sheldon to immediately butt in between the two bickering exes and interject, “ Well good Lord can we not do this here please?! This is a wedding reception for Amy and Peter and this is really not appropriate for a time like this!” which almost instantly made them shut up and stare at him as if he had gone nuts.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz3IJFh8Zn
“ Yeah you think Einstein?! My god what is… oh my god shut up, Leo’s coming!”, Dakota hissed at him as she rolled her eyes before she immediately ran up to Leo when she noticed her running back into the reception room a few moments later still sobbing her eyes out and asked in concern, “ Hey everything ok? Did you find my husband?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWudltP3PM
“ No everything is not ok Dakota, I can’t find Leonard anywhere! I’ve been walking around outside screaming his name for the past 20 minutes and he’s not responding to me whatsoever! It’s like he just walked off the face of the Earth without a trace!”, Leo sobbed as she shook her head and gripped her hair.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ndJMfh0BZ
“ Oh what fresh hell is this?! I don’t like the sound of this at all woman, this is most certainly concerning!”, Sheldon said in concern as he stared at his wife.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL48bstfVh
“ Yeah you think?! Oh god this is insane, what do we do?!”, Leo sobbed as she kept freaking out.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZQ1uDpPE
“ Leo just calm down, we’ll find him. He probably just walked off to blow off some steam for a few minutes. It’s not the end of the world.”, Bernadette said in concern as she walked up and gently placed her hands on Leo’s shoulders.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJJE9gJeJt
“ Yeah but what if it is Bernadette?! What if Leonard just wandered into traffic and got hit or something?! I don’t even want to think about that being a possibility ever!”, Leo sobbed as she was starting to pace and hyperventilate.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREXwnRFRRc
“ We don’t either honey but please just calm down! You’re gonna end up having another serious episode if you don’t and that won’t be good for any of us to deal with if that happens!”, Sheldon said in concern as he blinked his eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsWvZMG5OZ
“ Yeah well at this point I can’t help it right now! This is driving me crazy not knowing what is happening to Leonard at the moment! You know what that’s it, I can’t do this! I’m canceling the surgery!”, Leo cried as she then took her phone out to make the call to the hospital to cancel the procedure.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrEbLgQD92
“ Wait what, no! Leo don’t do that!”, Sheldon shrieked as he shook his head and gently grabbed his wife’s arm to prevent her from making a big mistake.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZOxifbAYe
“ Why the hell not Sheldon?! It’s 50% risk of death! I can’t go through with this knowing that Leonard’s this upset about it because that’s all I’m going to be thinking about going into this thing! I don’t want my potential last moment on this Earth to be thinking about the fact that one of MY BEST FRIENDS IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD HATES ME! Because that’s gonna hurt me worst of all! Just as much as it will hurt me to leave Cayela behind and everyone else I care about, including you! I told you guys nearly a thousand times already that I don’t like making people upset! It’s like a gut punch to me every time it happens and I don’t like feeling like that because it’s the same feeling that I got the moment I lost Brady Brackman when he was fighting overseas! Trust me, it was not easy for me dealing with a loss like that! When I got that phone call from his mom Mrs. Brackman saying that he died it… it was the worst day and moment of my entire life! I felt like someone just hit me with a ton of bricks! I was so heartbroken that I couldn’t stop crying for several days and nights since it happened! I couldn’t even get out of bed for God’s sake because all I was thinking about was how I missed him and wanted him back! Every time I looked at the pictures we took together and even the engagement ring he gave me since then it just made me so sad to think that I was never going to see him again but that’s not the point! The point is I already suffered enough loss as it is, I don’t want to lose a best friend too!”, Leo cried as she pulled away from him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1C6MxlrWK
“ I understand that but think about what you’re doing here! You’re seriously going to give this up?! This is a great opportunity to potentially have a better quality of life!”, Sheldon asked in concern as he reached out to grab a hold of her phone.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVk1vskWZi
“ Yes I know that but I can’t do it if my best friend is upset about possibly losing me if something goes wrong! He’s already been through enough with his crappy childhood, he doesn’t need any more devestating things happening to him! He just doesn’t!”, Leo cried as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvDgBeFD2
“ True but come on Leo you’re making a big mistake, please put the phone away and let’s talk about this. Look, I know this isn’t an easy decision to make let alone easy to deal with a situation like this but I’m not just going to let you give up on something that could potentially make your life better just because Leonard is upset about it. You’re my wife and I love you, I’ve loved you since the day I first heard you defending me from Leslie at work. Even before and after I ended my relationship with Amy too but that’s not important right now. What is important is to know that Leonard is just overwhelmed at the moment and just needs a little bit of space to decompress. Him walking off like that doesn’t mean anything ok.”, Sheldon said in concern as he kept a firm grip on her phone, trying to take it from her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IHdOUDdU
“ Yeah but what if that’s not what’s happening here Sheldon?! What if he decided to just leave and never come back?!”, Leo cried as she blinked her eyes and a kept a firm grip on her phone too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycUfIh4PgQ
“ Oh that’s preposterous kitten! Why on Earth would you ever assume that?! Leonard would never just up and leave like that! He has a family who he loves very much who also love him too! Why would you ever think that he would abandon us, especially his wife Dakota and his daughter Athena?! Leonard is a good man and would never do something that hurtful like Howard’s father did to him and his mother when Howard was growing up! That just would never happen in a million years and you know it!”, Sheldon defended in shock at what his wife just said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwp7dCQd1r
“ Ok you’re right, I get it! It’s stupid for me to think like that but I can’t deal with the fact that Leonard is upset with me over this surgery! I just can’t!”, Leo cried as she briefly looked at the picture inside her heart shaped locket hanging around her neck that had been updated to include Athena in it along with herself, her husband, their daughter, their cat, and even Dakota and Leonard as well who were Athena’s parents.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rl7e0XOwS
“ Honey will you just calm down? Everything will be okay. Like I said, Leonard’s just overwhelmed. He doesn’t know what he’s feeling right now so let’s just give him some space to calm down and collect himself. I’m most certainly sure he’ll come back after a few minutes.”, Sheldon said in concern as he lowered his voice.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhIQGCkKma
“ Are you sure?!”, Leo cried as she looked at her husband with tear glistening eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6sl6mQUrV
“ Yes I am. Now come on, give me the phone. Let it go please.”, Sheldon said as he took Leo’s phone away from her after she reluctantly let go of it and continued crying.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjkoMOJzRY
“ I’m scared about everything related to this! I don’t want to die!”, Leo cried as she buried her face into Sheldon’s shoulder.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8By4R8YsQ
“ I know, we’re all scared and we don’t want that to happen either but like I said it’s going to be ok. We can’t think like that.”, Sheldon said in concern as he awkwardly embraced her back, rubbing gentle circles with his hand as a way to calm her down.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6ulW5pBcO
“ That’s easy for you to say! You’re not the one going through a terrifying procedure like this, turning it into a theory similar to Schrodinger’s cat! 50% mortality is just… it’s a huge percentage and I don’t know I’m just… I’m just wondering if maybe I’m doing the right thing or not!”, Leo cried.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSbvPflE9N
“ Leo… my love… you are indeed doing the right thing here. Don’t ever doubt it for one second. You are a very strong woman and have made it thus far through every bad situation that we’ve previously been in. I’m for certainly confident that you’ll make it through this too even though I am concerned about the outcome and the unknown. Cayela is also feeling it even though she feels the same way as well.”, Sheldon said in concern as he gently lifted his wife’s face up with his finger under her chin to make her look at him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC5exQWuRm
“ I love you Sheldon Lee! I love you so much!”, Leo cried as she kissed him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKj4w0wt6R
“ I love you too.”, Sheldon said in concern as he kissed her back and slipped her phone back into her purse after she began to calm down within a few minutes. It was around this time that Leonard had finally decided to come back after he had calmed down too and a short time after he made up with Leo before of them continued on with their night together and everyone else at the reception was when Leo’s phone started ringing with her Stand Up by the Flobots ringtone, prompting her to answer it almost immediately which caught everyone’s attention as they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her bracing themselves for what was to come next.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ084gOjrIdY
“ Hello? Yes this is Dr. Fordyce-Cooper, can I… oh, wow. O-ok, thank you for letting me know that. Great, thank you. Bye.”, Leo said into her phone speaker with a look of shock on her face before she hung up as quickly as she answered it.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAsZse3GGg
“ Who was that Leo?”, Sheldon asked as he stared at his wife with everyone else staring at her too wondering what was going on at that moment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tpPpKSb3l
“ That was the hospital Sheldon.”, Leo said as she began to fidget with her hands after she put her phone away.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjhdU2RCml
“ Really? Well what did they say?”, Leonard asked in shock as he blinked his eyes behind his glasses.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RmFSLwiEl
“ They said that an earlier appointment just opened up for the medulla transplant procedure and they’ve scheduled it for this Friday at 5 o’clock in the evening.”, Leo said as she blinked her eyes which immediately triggered a sudden gasp from everyone else in the room as they all continued to stare at her, completely shocked by what they just heard.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH0IvhUFJi
“ What?! Seriously?!”, everyone said in unison.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaavzKGmiU
“ Yeah.”, Leo said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLvnmiQKb4
“ Oh, wow, that… that was fast. That doesn’t give us much time to prepare for this.”, Penny said in shock and concern as she blinked her eyes and briefly looked at Bernadette who was standing next to her along with Howard and the others.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq42FF1cOUm
“ You’re telling me. Well, I guess this is it then. On Friday evening I’m either gonna come out of this with a better life or it’s gonna be the end of it. I don’t know, we’ll have to wait and see.”, Leo said with a shaky voice as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwZNFdlk27
“ True. Come here bestie!”, Morgan said as she pulled Leo into an embrace and began to cry which made Leo start crying again as everyone else joined in the embrace, getting emotional as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5sV0Pgp4
“ We love you Leo!”, Bernadette cried.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GHSyDwzhX
“ It’s true, we do! Every single one of us! And no matter what happens with this surgery we will always remember you until the day we die! May The Force Be With You!”, Howard cried, making a Star Wars reference as he had his hand pressed against his wife Bernadette’s back as they all continued embracing Leo.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2EF83n3zP
“ Thank you, I love you guys too! I don’t know what I’d ever do without you!”, Leo cried.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1MLuI5zu
“ You got this Mom! You’re a strong fighter and you always have been! Go kick this procedure’s butt, I believe in you!”, Cayela cried as she pushed her way through everyone and wrapped her arms around her mother’s waist.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTobiOyfxG
“ Thank you sweetheart!”, Leo cried as she kissed her daughter’s head before everyone then let go of her and each other, just wiping tears away and blowing their noses with tissues that Bernadette pulled out of her purse. The rest of the evening continued on with everyone enjoying each other’s company before everyone went their separate ways for the night. Then 3 nights later on Friday as everyone gathered again this time at the hospital in the surgery center waiting room after Leo had signed the paperwork for her surgery she soon found herself once again in a huge embrace from her friends and family who were all crying as Mrs. Cooper was reciting The Lord’s Prayer much to Sheldon’s dismay while the song The Time Has Come( Pikachu’s Goodbye) was playing in the background. The music then faded out as Leo told everyone that she loved them before she was taken in for PreOp leaving the others out in the waiting room to brace themselves for what could potentially happen next.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoTHYe8hOi
“ Well, this is it. Now we just wait.”, Sheldon said with a worried sigh as he sat down in one of the chairs in the waiting room with the others sitting down too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHRmaHbbcn
“ Yep.”, the others said with a sigh in unison as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0o8cc9Dv1
“ I’m scared.”, Cayela said in concern as she shifted her butt in the chair slightly, making her freshly changed diaper covered by her shorts let out a slight crinkling sound when it rubbed against the fabric.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgd1J4FkGP
“ We know kid, we all are but it’s going to be ok. Like you said at the reception 3 nights ago your mom’s a fighter so she’s going to be alright.”, Dakota said in concern and reassurance as she was sitting next to her autistic teenage goddaughter, just gripping her hand and gently squeezing it as a way to calm her down. Leonard was also sitting next to her too looking worried while Athena was sitting in his lap just looking up at the ceiling with worry on her face as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngj2w2C4q
“ Exactly. All we can do is just pray and hope that everything goes according to plan.”, Mrs. Cooper said as she nodded her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnnSZEhnao
“ Right.”, everyone said again in unison.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGCNxrTFVo
“ You know, I remember the day when we all first met her. She was so sweet even though we barely knew anything about her, but, then as time went on she became this wonderful dear friend that we all loved and made us happy.”, Raj said in concern and somewhat of a sad tone as he sat next to his wife Yesenia.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡButT81GaAD
“ True.”, Leonard, Penny, Howard, Amy, Stuart, and Bernadette said in agreement as Sheldon nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5KHivzCa
“ Well that’s not her fault, Leo’s always been like that. She’s always had a sweet caring nature ever since she was born.”, Stephen said as he leaned back against his chair with his arms crossed while sitting next to his other siblings and their parents.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53P8Fc4Kx4
“ Totally. The majority of the time whenever she would meet somebody she’d always be the one to offer a smile and a kind word to whoever it is, unless if they were mean to her.”, Junior said as he nodded his head in agreement with what his brother said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjgLXk7ZGA
“ Yeah we get that you dork!”, Amanda butted in as she playfully punched her brother in the shoulder while she was sitting next to her husband Donny.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH76fpu43I
“ Ow! Amanda don’t do that, that hurts!”, Junior shrieked as he stared at his sister.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83PFjifhj3
“ Oh please Junior, I didn’t hit you that hard! You’re just overreacting!”, Amanda shot back at him as she rolled her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlbug0YY9z
“ As if you bitch!”, Junior shot back at her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kt5gYVXBo
“ Hey!”, Amanda hissed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X1olP5d3Z
“ Ok Amanda, Junior, can you guys cut it out?! This is not appropriate for a time like this.”, Kennedy butted in as she stared at her two siblings to get them to shut up.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq7ISJbKIz
“ Well neither is you running your mouth either Kennedy so why don’t you just shut up and mind your own business before I…”, Amanda hissed only for their mother Mrs. Fordyce to interrupt with, “ Alright that’s enough! Why don’t we all just cut it out because this isn’t appropriate, period. We’re here to support your sister, not start drama amongst ourselves. So get your sh*t together and stop please. Leo doesn’t need to deal with this coming out of surgery.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXjJ7ZNpF
“ You’re right Mom, sorry Junior. Sorry Kennedy.”, Amanda said as she apologized to her siblings.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2uyHQ5TLB
“ It’s alright Amanda.”, Kennedy and Junior apologized as well before they sat there and shut up while staring at the surgery board, looking at their sister’s ID number which said that it was still in PreOp before it switched over to In Surgery. For the next several hours everyone remained silent as they waited and watched the clock ticking away as well as periodically checking on the surgery board with anticipation and worry until the female surgeon who had been doing the procedure finally came out through the doors to greet them.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhFe1JAUIN
“ Dr. Cooper?”, the surgeon said as she stood a few feet away from Sheldon and the others.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQekCrk4JEK
“ Yes? Is everything ok?”, Sheldon asked in concern as he stood up from the chair he was sitting in with everyone else standing up as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppYEM1kjc
“ Everything is wonderful. The sugery went well and your wife is in recovery. She’s asking for you.”, the surgeon said with a smile as she nodded her head which instantly made everyone gasp as they began to smile and look at each other for a moment. They couldn’t believe what they just heard.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMqG1fVizJ
“ Really?! She made it through the procedure?!”, Sheldon asked as a smile began to spread across his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cosR81g2C
“ Yes she did. She has quite the fighting spirit that’s for sure.”, the surgeon said as she nodded her head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0shLCsZb
“ Well then I never thought I’d say this but YEEHAW!”, Sheldon exclaimed like a western cowboy as everyone then began to celebrate around him.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljkBMDnscy
“ The cat’s alive bi*ches! Oh yeah!”, Raj exclaimed as he shot his fist into the air.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXwwcl0Oa
“ Yeah it is! 1,2,3!”, Stuart chanted.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR26jeacbxE
“ Leo!”, his friends chanted.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBQwzacc9v
“ 1,2,3!”, Stuart chanted again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoNaZZSlnF
“ Leo!”, his friends chanted again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDsc2R6QS7
“ 1,23!”, Stuart chanted again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA0pf7xdBq
“ Leo!”, his friends chanted again as they continued to celebrate.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2Aa40Rx9
“ Hell yeah you Hex Girls homies, that’s what’s up!”, Amanda exclaimed as she then took her phone to play Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air causing everyone to stop and stare at her hissing, “ AMANDA WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THE HEX GIRLS!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58MxQbCh2f
“ Fine I will, buzzkills!”, Amanda said as she then shut the music off before the celebration continued on down the hallway to the recovery room and the minute they walked into the room to see Leo sitting up in the bed smiling with bandages wrapped around her head was when the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley began to play in the background.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSwECtPyB5
“ Hi everybody.”, Leo said with a smile as she blinked her eyes and began to cry happy tears about the fact that she no longer had the threat of her blood pressure acting up and that she could now live the rest of her life normally with the people who she cared about most.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Sif2dOT3
“ You’re amazing my love!”, Sheldon said with a smile and happy tears in his eyes as he walked over to the bed to gently take his wife into his arms out of the bed and kiss her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHFz12Hdxf
“ Mom!”, Cayela happily cried as she ran up to her mother and threw her arms around her too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxoPOoFglO
“ Oh thank god you’re still with us! We love you so much sweetheart!”, Mrs. Fordyce happily cried as she embraced her daughter too, kissing her bandaged head along with her husband doing the same after she ushered their granddaughter out of the way.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsON4kNKRgK
“ I love you too!”, Leo happily cried.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekQ942dmwC
“ You badass bitch, come here! We’re so happy for you!”, Leonard happily cried as he walked up to Leo to embrace her, shaking his head as some of the others gathered around to embrace her as well.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKKIr8ETIe
“ Thank you!”, Leo happily cried as she embraced him and the others who came up to greet her.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfqU3WoUoC
“ This is amazing, I can’t believe this! No more blood pressure problems for you anymore!”, Penny happily cried as she gripped her friend’s hands in hers.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2u9WFcuxa
“ I know! It’s the best thing that I could have ever wished for in my entire life!”, Leo happily cried as she shook her head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AwxzL9PMJ
“ Us too!”, the others exclaimed.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo5KaDZjHS
“ Yeah well how about this as well, I’m pregnant!”, Amy exclaimed with happy tears coming down her face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3AmGm5Th
“ WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?!”, everybody else except for Peter exclaimed in shock as they stared at her with their mouths hanging open.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYYnCvqGvh
“ You’re kidding Fowler-Thomas?!”, Leo exclaimed as she blinked her eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxViQ95ZAcV
“ No I’m not, I’m serious! Look, it’s a positive test! I took it 2 weeks ago before the wedding and when Peter and I found out we decided to keep it a secret from you guys until the right moment!”, Amy exclaimed as she took out the positive pregnancy test from her purse to show it to her friends and family.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9djuZPIOLg
“ Shut up, no way! I’m having a godchild?!”, Penny exclaimed as she stared at her best friend.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE3YgWBdfg
“ You sure are bestie! What do you think?!”, Amy exclaimed. In an instant Penny let out a loud excited girly scream as she threw herself into Amy, embracing her as she was jumping up and down like a crazy person. The celebration continued to heat up as everyone then began congratulating Amy and Peter on their surprise conceivement of their first child with Kemdan exclaiming in Spanish, “ Felicidades senor y senorita!” amidst the celebration of Leo surviving her surgery. The celebration then winded down a few moments later with everyone going their separate ways so that Leo could get some much needed rest for the afternoon after she was allowed to go back home. The Bob Marley song had faded out at this point to the sound of Leo’s soft breathing as she was napping peacefully in the bed she shared with Sheldon.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhUnqUBVEr
“ Is she asleep?”, Leonard asked in a low voice when he saw Sheldon emerging from the bedroom.

“ Yeah, I just got her settled down to take a nap after I gave her the pain meds that the hospital gave us.”, Sheldon said in a low voice as he nodded his head and walked over to the couch to sit down in his spot.

“ Well that’s good. Anyway, hey listen buddy. Can we talk out in the hallway for a moment? There’s something I want to tell you that’s kind of important.”, Leonard said as he nudged his finger at the front door while Dakota was in the middle of feeding Oreo and Cayela was playing a board game with Athena at the kitchen island.

“ Very well, I suppose so.”, Sheldon said as he stood up and followed Leonard out into the hallway so that they could speak in private with each other.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsgUlTgId3
“ Great.”, Leonard said as Sheldon then shut the door behind them when they stepped out into the hallway.

“ Yes well now that we’re alone, what’s this about Leonard?”, Sheldon asked in concern as he stared at his best friend, wondering what was on his mind.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx8ikrJ3n0
“ It’s about Leo. Earlier today before she got discharged after her surgery I… I set up an appointment a few weeks from now for her and I to get matching tattoos that say I’ll Be There For You.”, Leonard said with a nervous sigh as he started to fidget with his hands, sliding his wedding band up and down slightly on his finger.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrLD1aT41
“ What? You set up an appointment for you and my wife to get I’ll Be There For You tattoos? Is that what you said?”, Sheldon asked in shock as his eyes went wide at what he just heard.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccUFFRH8mt
“ Yeah. It’s sort of a best friend thing considering the fact that we’re really good friends. It’s something that I’ve actually been thinking about doing for a while and now I think it’s the right time.”, Leonard said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnrgAAyi79
“ Well this is… surprising. Have you talked about it with Dakota?”, Sheldon asked as he blinked his eyes and crossed his arms while leaning his back against the door.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGVl6Y1ZAW
“ Yes I did and she’s ok with it. She gave me the number of her tattoo artist Rud Matthews and I set it up with him. She said that he’s pretty good and so I figured why not.”, Leonard said as he nodded his head again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLz8Wudykh
“ Well I appreciate you telling me this. I think that’s a very sweet gesture.”, Sheldon said with a smile.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T88cj96Qy
“ Yeah? You think Leo will dig it?”, Leonard asked with a smile as he blinked his eyes and pushed his glasses up on his face.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll06kehyLc
“ Yes I believe she will.", Sheldon said as he nodded his head.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SRmaMyPJG
“ Thanks buddy.”, Leonard said as he briefly patted his hand against Sheldon’s arm.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBmuSUqqQ
“ Of course. But just out of curiosity… where are you two planning on putting these tattoos?”, Sheldon asked.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4v5NexJ0
“ Oh, just right here on our wrists. Nothing too fancy.”, Leonard said as he pulled up one of the sleeves of his dark gray zip up hoodie that he was wearing slightly to reveal his wristwatch and a small area of exposed skin that he pointed at and rubbed his finger on for a minute before he covered it back up.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBbiu29Vp
“ Well… despite the fact that tattoos aren’t really my thing, I think that’s a great place to put it.”, Sheldon said as he grabbed the door knob to open the door again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeug6RC0gV
“ Of course it is you dork!”, Leonard laughed as he playfully shoved his hand against Sheldon’s back to usher him back into the apartment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmSNmbcZm
“ Hey! Don’t do that Hofstadter! What are you looking for a strike?!”, Sheldon shrieked as they reentered the apartment and shut the door behind themselves.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ21ySlJGI
“ No, but I might give you one for being an idiot.”, Leonard said with a smirk as he walked over to his desk.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGVM1bWmQE
“ Yeah well we’ll see about that my good man.”, Sheldon said with a derivative snort as he sat back down in his spot on the couch to watch tv.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUR8s7DHo1
“ Whackadoodle.”, Leonard shot back with a laugh as he sat down at his desk to work on his laptop which instantly triggered a barrage of amused laughter between Cayela and Athena while they were still sitting at the kitchen island playing a board game and Dakota was in the kitchen making food with Oreo just wandering around on the floor after she ate her food, batting around a toy mouse with her kitty paws which made her bell collar jinkle around her neck too.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ONZdLpk5
“ Oh nice one Dad!”, Athena laughed before she got up from her seat and started jumping around like an idiot, pumping her fist in the air chanting in a sing song voice, “ Who let the dogs out?! Who, who, who, who, who!” to which was immediately interrupted by Dakota scolding, “ Athena Makenzie Hofstadter knock it off! That’s not appropriate to be doing right now young lady so shut up and sit down! Your godmother Leo is taking a nap at the moment to recover from her medulla transplant surgery! So cool your jets or else you’re gonna be grounded!”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ndwEjiWBA
“ Oh come on Mom, let me live a little would ya?! I’m just trying to have fun here!”, Athena laughed as she stared at her mother.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrYlpZQVSS
“ Well good Lord what kind of fun is that? An obnoxious yahoo rave?”, Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at his goddaughter while he was sitting on the couch, flipping through channels on the tv looking for something to watch.

Meow!

“ Thank you Oreo!”, Sheldon said as he briefly looked at the cat who meowed in response to what he said.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSupEW6fnI
“ Oh please, you’re being ridiculous! That’s so not what this is, that’s just me being a teenager Uncle Sheldon! I’m 13!”, Athena laughed, shaking her head at her godfather as she sat back down in her seat at the kitchen island to continue playing her board game with Cayela who was also still laughing too while slapping her hand down on the countertop of the island.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8j8QoEddU
“ If you say so.”, Sheldon said as he rolled his eyes.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqp3XWeuxM
“ Buddy!”, Leonard hissed as he turned around in his desk chair to look at him for a moment.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZeJBGByYS
“ Sorry.”, Sheldon apologized before he went back to minding his own business while Leonard continued on with his work on his laptop and the girls resumed playing their game after they calmed down while Dakota continued making food in the kitchen leaving Oreo to continue playing with her toy around the apartment like the happy little kitty she was.
