Thank you so much for the positive feedback I had on last chapter. I said it a lot, but I´ll say it again, it means the world to me. I hope you´re enjoying this story, even though I take forever to write new chapters. Once again, I´m sorry for that.

Hope you like this new chapter! :)

Sheldon had just finished work, so he and Amy went to pick Ayden from school.

"Amy told me you met a girl in your class…"-Sheldon said.

"Yes, I did. Her name is Leah and she´s the same age as me."- Ayden answered, smiling.

"I´m happy for you, Ayden!"- Sheldon exclaimed.-"When I was your age I also went to High School, but I didn´t have anyone of my age to talk about academic things."

"I am really glad to have someone who understands what I'm saying."- Ayden said. "My age, I mean."

"What do you want to do when we get home?"- Amy asked.

"Can we watch Star Wars?"- Ayden questioned.

"Of course."- Sheldon said. - "I mean, can we, mommy?"- He whispered.

Amy giggled from behind the steering wheel.

As they got to the apartment, Amy told Ayden to keep his backpack in "his" room.

"Sheldon, can I talk to you?"- Amy said, holding his hand.

They sat on the couch, Amy still holding his hand on her lap.

"Shelly, I got a call today."- She started.

"Yes…."- Sheldon said.

"It was from the orphanage."- She continued.

"And?"- Sheldon asked, worried.

"The paperwork for Ayden´s adoption is ready. We can change his last name tomorrow. He´s our son!"- Amy told him.

Sheldon was speechless. He gazed into her eyes. He could do nothing but hug her. A passionate hug that made them forget that Ayden was waiting to watch Star Wars.

"Ayden!"- Amy called.

The kid showed up to the living room.

They started watch the movie. Sheldon on his spot, Amy´s head rested on his shoulder and Ayden on the armchair.

Nor Amy or Sheldon were watching that film. They were both looking at Ayden. One day away of becoming Ayden Fowler-Cooper.

The scene Sheldon was expecting finally arrived.

Darth Vader was about to say the legendary words, but Sheldon paused the movie.

"Why did you paused it? I love this scene."- The kid said.

"I don´t know. I never really liked the name "Luke". Maybe we should replace it."- Sheldon said. – "What do you think about "Ayden, I´m your father!"?"

"Wait…. Are you telling me…"- Ayden said.

Sheldon and Amy nodded.

Ayden started crying. He sat on the ground, hands on his face, head between his knees.

"Ayden, are you ok?"- Amy, gently asked.

"I have a family!"- Ayden shouted. - "It´s all I ever wanted."

Amy spread a tear down her face.

Sheldon smiled.

"Would you like to meet your grandma Mary?"- Sheldon asked.

"Is this family like the ones on TV? With grandparents and everything? Yes, I want to meet her. I want to meet everyone."- Ayden told them, while cleaning his tears.

Sheldon face timed his mother.

"Hi Shelly. How are you?"- Mary said.

"I´m great. Actually, I have someone here who would love to meet you."- Sheldon told her, excited.

"I´m Ayden."- The kid said, waving at the phone.

"I´m so glad to finally meet you. Look how cute you are!"- Mary exclaimed.

Ayden shyly smiled to the ground.

"Have you signed the papers already?"- Mary asked Sheldon and Amy.

"We are going there tomorrow."- Amy answered.

"Oh, ok. Can I talk to Ayden in private for a moment?"- She said.

"Sure."- Sheldon responded.

Sheldon gave Ayden the phone, took Amy´s hand and went to their bedroom.

"What do you think she wants to talk with him?"- Amy asked, preoccupied.

"I don´t know. But I know my mother, you shouldn´t be worried."- Sheldon comforted her.

"What do you want to tell me?"- Ayden sweetly asked.

"I just want to say that you are in good hands. My son and his wife can be quirky, weird and they may have some questionable actions, but I know, from the bottom of my heart, that they will love you forever, and so will I."- Mary told him.

Ayden trusted every word she said.

"Thanks grandma. I can call you that, right?"- Ayden shyly said.

"Welcome to the Cooper family. And I prefer meemaw."

Thanks so much for reading this chapter, you know it means a lot to me. This one took me so much time to write, especially because it is the first chapter I wrote after Big Bang ended. It´s hard for every single fan, but I follow the premise that Fanfiction writer must continue this legacy.

Please leave a review, follow me, my stories and my Instagram account sheldon and amy (write a dot between the words).

Keep on reading!
