When Sheldon was seven years old the adults left him sitting on a picnic table, guarding a green-eyed infant who chewed her blanket, smelled weird, and kept trying to spit on him.

That was a delightful story. I liked the circular nature and watching them grow up over the years. Plus, it's good to see someone get past some of those defenses of Sheldon's (and I can totally believe him avoiding her for two Christmases and a Fourth of July).

WAY LATE REPLY

Thank you for the comment, sorry it's late! I'm glad you enjoyed the story; I wrote half of it for the challenge, then before I posted it decided to carry the whole thing through to the beginning of canon, just for kicks. I was trying for a "circular nature" thing, glad that came across.

Aww, Sheldon! This is so lovely and that last line really got me. I just want to give Sheldon a big hug. I really want this to have really happened. XD
