The wedding was just three days away and what he thought was wedding jitters turned into full blown flu. That morning he woke up with his head pounding and his stomach complaining anytime he moved. The last thing he wanted to do was deal with was his roommate.

He was glad that Sheldon had decided to come back, but when he did it was decided that after the wedding Leonard and Penny would take their apartment and much to Sheldon's dislike he would move into Penny's. Sheldon decided he still wasn't ready to live with Amy yet.

Leonard groaned when Sheldon lightly knocked three times on his bedroom door. "Come on sleepy head. We got to go to work."

"I'm not going in today." Was all that Leonard said.

"Why not?"

"I'm just not. I got other things I need to do today. See if you can get a ride from someone else."

Sheldon then went over to Penny's and knocked on her door. When she answered it Sheldon told her that Leonard said he wasn't going into work that day. Penny agreed to take Sheldon.

After she got back instead of going into her apartment, she went to the guys apartment. She slowly opened Leonard's bedroom door to see him sleeping. She gave a small smile, she loved to watch him sleep and she was excited that she soon would get to for the rest of their lives.

She quietly went over and leaned down to give him a kiss on the forehead. He felt a little warm to her. She didn't want to wake him though. So she went out to the other room and watched a little TV quietly.

About 20 minutes later Leonard emerged from his room. He still felt sick and light headed. But he thought he would at least try to drink water or something. He was shocked to see Penny sitting on the couch.

"Hey." He said.

She turned and looked at him giving him a smile. "Hey sweetie."

"What are you doing here?"

"Sheldon asked me to give him a ride to work. So I thought I'd check on you when I got back. Are you feeling alright Leonard? You look kind of pale."

Leonard smiled and nodded. "It's nothing."

Penny gave him a concerned look. "Sweetie, I know that you're a little warm. I didn't want to wake you but I went in your room while you were sleeping. So do you want to try this again? Are you feeling okay?"

Leonard gave a sheepish grin. "I'll be fine, I promise. It's really nothing to worry about. It's probably just a head cold."

Penny gave him a look to say okay whatever. "Why don't you come over and sit with me?" She said pouting.

Leonard no matter how bad he felt, he couldn't resist that look. Truth he couldn't resist anything about Penny. He had loved her from the moment he saw her. Well he lusted after her. But now it was love. A deep and true love that he would cherish always. And he couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together. Apparently neither could the flu.
