Tilda sat in her seat, snuggling Sheldon and avoiding making eye contact.

Sheldon blinked innocently, saying, “So Tilda has helped Dad before, huh? The book says, ‘When someone is generous to you, you should treat others as you would like to be treated.' So Dad, you should look out for Tilda," he reasoned cleverly.

Rosalynn's eyebrows shot up. She was clearly interested.

Dad, huh? Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Rosalynn thought to herself.

Tilda felt a bit awkward, thinking maybe she'd overdone it with encouraging her little one to read so much at such a young age.

It had resulted in him speaking in a persuasive way that left others irrefutable.

Karina and Maggie couldn't help but chuckle.

Karina said, "Oh boy, Rosalynn, now I understand why you've been gushing over this little dude. He's so cute!"

Maggie nodded along.

This kid was just too adorable.

She hoped her future child would be just as cute.

Thoughts of Sanford crossed her mind suddenly, freezing her smile momentarily before she snapped back to reality, quelling the stray thoughts.

Karina leaned in to Sheldon, beaming, "Hey there, Sheldon, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Karina."

Sheldon replied confidently. "Hi there, Karina."

Karina gave his head a pat. "You're just adorable. Is Mr. Fernandez your dad?"

She already knew from Rosalynn that the little guy was parentless and now under Tilda's care.

Glancing at Lyndon, Sheldon said, “Yep, he agreed to be my dad.”

Karina asked, “What made you choose him as your dad?"

With a blink, he responded, "Because Dad and I are both pretty good -looking."

She'd heard this reason from Rosalynn before.
