Sheldon and Gregory
With Maura being so tired all the time, the rest of the family pitches in to keep Gregory happy. Sheldon used to play with this same dollhouse when Grace was a child.
"And this is where the Mommy is sleeping." Gregory tells Sheldon. "Mommy says I will be a good big brother. Do you think so too, Uncle Sheldon?"
Sheldon tells him, "Oh yeah. You'll be the best big brother of all. I just know it."
You scared me!
Fiona comes running when she heard the screams coming from down the hall. She was glad to see it was only Maura in labor.
She thought something had happened to the latest "Maura Original." She already had a buyer lined up for whatever Maura's magical hands could come up with next.
Since the painting was all right, Fiona headed back to bed.
His wish?
"I wish I could be just like my Dad," Gregory thought as he turned to look at his role model.
Of course, Gregory has no way of knowing that Frederick had once been unsure of his parenting abilities. Gregory had only met his own father once in his life, so he was once very scared to be a parent. But then, Sheldon told him that whenever he wasn't sure what to do, to think of his Uncle Evan.
Uncle Evan raised Frederick as though he were his own son. He and Fiona had always felt more like brother and sister than cousins.
Frederick knows that he never would have gotten as far in life as he has without his memories of Evan.
A special gift
It seems as though birthday celebrations just aren't complete without one special gift from the "other" residents of 1 Legacy Lane.
Bryan Adamson gives his own birthday wish to his great-great granddaughter.
After her heart calms down a little, Fiona thinks to herself, "Guess I don't need to use the bathroom after all, suddenly a shower sounds like a better idea. Hmmm, hope this new outfit Sheldon gave me doesn't stain easily."
The Adventures of Mr Teddy
The Adamson family has always felt it more important to have family train the next generations instead of a nanny. Today, Sheldon takes a day off from being a Tycoon, to watch Giles and get to know him better.
Of course, he takes time to read to Giles from his favorite childhood book. The Adventures of Mr Teddy.
You're how old?
During Sheldon's birthday party, Grace reminds Frederick that she has a birthday coming soon. Frederick is shocked to realize that so much time has passed.
"But... but... you can't be that old. I used to change your diapers!"
"Oh no, not the diaper story again Uncle Frederick! You've been torturing me with that for years."
Grace's Birthday
Grace grows into a beautiful young lady.
She has had her eye on Tyson Larson for quite some time. Tyson and his father had started an orphanage several years ago on the other side of town.
He is Frederick's Mayoral Assistant and has been coming home after work to help out with all the paperwork that goes with being a Mayor. So it was just natural for him to stay for the party as well.
