After his encounter with the red haired mistress, he walked to the store and bought his supplies and returned home.

He didn't pick up Sherman from his sitter right away because he needed to wait until after his meeting with the woman.


Night soon fell and Peabody set out to find the woman.

he reached the park and noticed the red haired lady leaning on one of the trees.

He walked over to her and addressed her.

"Miss, i don't know who exactly you are but this is some what far."

"I know, I like being creepy." She sassed.

"Ok. Who exactly are you?" He asked.

"I'm that redheaded brats Mommy. Who else would i be?"

Peabody held back a growl.

"Listen, whatever you're thinking of doing, i have a backup." She sighed. "Look, I just wanted to tell you that i don't want him back, keep him and do what you want with him. Just keep him away from me." She said.

"You're name?" He asked.

"Shiara."

"Miss Shiara, if you don't mind me asking, why did you abandon Sherman in the first place?" He asked.

"Because well...He was a mistake. I didn't want him." She said. "My cursed Boyfriend gave him to me because he was drunk, i was seventeen at the time and was nowhere near ready for a baby. But i still didn't have the heart to kill him."

"How old was he when you left him?" He asked.

"Three months." She breathed. "When i heard you were adopting him, i was one of the people against it, but my best friend Gabriella was all for it."

"Ma'am. May i have your full name?"

She breathed. "Shiara Val Patrice."

"Thank you Miss Patrice."

"Oh, one more thing." She leaned in. "If you tell him any of this, i can tell you that he's not going to be happy. So keep quiet."

She walked away after that.


After Peabody walked to Sherman's sitters apartment door and knocked, the sitter herself opened the door.

"Oh, hello Mr Peabody! Are you here for Sherman?" She asked.

He nodded and the sitter allowed him inside.

"Hey Mr Peabody, not to pry but is everything alright?" She asked.

"Oh, everything is alright Miss Haley, I just don't feel like myself tonight."

She nodded and led Mr Peabody to a nearby door. When Haley opened the door, inside was a fire themed Bedroom and on the bed was Sherman peacefully sleeping.

Peabody walked over to the sleeping boy and lifted him up and held him.

"M..Mr Pea..." He mumbled.

"Shhh, sleep Sherman."

Peabody waved goodbye to the babysitter and carried Sherman into the elevator and up they went to their home.

The whole time Peabody couldn't help but wonder about Shiara.

But his musing would have to wait.
