A/N 1: Thank you all for your wonderful, humbling reviews! I`ve never had such supportive and lovely reviews before! And considering this is my first Big Bang fanfiction, makes it all the more wonderful. Thank you to everyone for brightening up my day!

A/N 2: Sorry about the formatting, I can only use Copy/Paste so my paragraphs are lacking. I will try harder to to fix it.

Sorry also about the angst! It will get better..I promise. I won`t let my fans down. (But, angst also makes great writing material).

Enjoy this chapter, and.. as always, please read and review! :) xo

(Howard, Amy, and Sheldon`s POV will be coming in the following chapter.)

I just deleted this chapter by mistake and had to re-write it, so reviews are extra appreciated. :)

Leonard:

Leonard followed Dr. Williams into Penny`s room, stifling a gasp as he saw Penny unconscious in the hospital bed, looking pale. Wires were

poking out of her, every which way. Penny, who usually looked happy and joyful, always laughing, was unmoving, lifeless. It made Leonard`s heart

jump.

"Damnit, Penny," he swore, sitting down on the chair beside Penny, and taking her hand in his. "If only I had known- if I had seen.." his voice

trailed off, and they were swallowed by sobs. He struggled to get his composure. "I feel so guilty," he admitted to his fiancée. "You are the most

important thing in the world to me, and I should have seen something was off. Penny, you are the love of the life, and I can`t do this without you. I

won`t go through life without you. Please wake up, sweetie." He looked at Penny, but the only thing indicating she was alive was the semi-comforting

sound of the heart rate monitor, indicating that she was still breathing. "You are going to get through this, Penny," he said, as though he was really

convincing himself. "You just have to. Everyone is a mess too. We all love you so much, honey. Please, please.. just wake up. Don`t leave me."

There was no sound, no movement from Penny. He laid his head on her stomach and let his tears run down his face. Leonard did something

he had not done since he was a child- he prayed.

Bernadette:

Bernadette entered after a shaken Leonard had left the room. She hesitated before going to Penny`s bedside and taking her hand.

"Sheldon was supposed to come next, but he`s scared so I told him I would come next. I don`t think I`ve ever seen him scared before, Penny. It`s

such a strange thing." Bernadette paused.

"This is so fucking surreal," she said sadly, shaking her head. "Tonight was supposed to be a wine and chat session in your apartment, and

now you`re lying here in this hospital bed." Tears ran down her face although she brushed them off. "Amy said we should talk to you, because you

can hear us, so here we go. This is going to get sappy- so brace youself." Bernadette let out a small laugh in spite of herself. "I`m sure you`ve had

enough sappiness to last you the rest of your life, so I`m sorry. You need to hear this, though."

She took a deep breath and continued, squeezing Penny`s hand.

"I don`t think you know how special you are," she said. "Not many people are like you, Penny. You just inherently get people, and to be

honest, it`s what I admire so much about you. You understand people`s differences and celebrate them. You put up with Leonard talking about his

job all the time, even if you might not understand it. You put up with Sheldon, and honestly, understand him more than we ever will- I don`t know

how you do it. You understand me, and Amy, and Howard, and Raj, too, even if we are all a bit crazy. You love us, and we love you. Please don`t

leave us, Penny. I promise, we can get through this together. Just wake up, please. "

There was no answer.

Bernadette sighed, wiping her eyes, and leaning to kiss Penny on the forehead. "I love you, Penny. We all do, and we will be here for you

when you decide to wake up."

Raj:

"You know what my favourite memory of you is, Penny?" Raj stood standing, not wanting to sit down and overstay his welcome. "The day that

I broke up with Lucy and you came to check on me. I started talking to you, not having had a drink." He smiled at the memory. "It was that day

when I realized how much time I had wasted not having the opportunity to talk to you." Raj paused, collecting his thoughts.

"I think I was intimidated by you," he admitted. "A girl as beautiful as you wanting to come visit us, spend time with us.. or.." he laughed.

"Maybe just wanting to eat our food. But, the years passed, and you have become so much more than just a food moocher. You are one of the most

important people in our group, Penny. You are just as geeky in your own way as we are, and love us just the same. You are the rock that holds all

of us misfits together. You are our family, and I absolutely forbid you to leave us. You have to fight, and wake up. Penny, just wake up. I don`t think

I`ve seen Sheldon scared before this, Leonard is acting like a zombie, Howard doesn`t know what to do, and Amy and Bernadette won`t stop crying.

Only you can fix this. Just wake up," he said in desperation.

But again, alas, there was no answer. Just the beeping of the machine on the wall.
