Sorry guys I rewrote Chapter 4 and on...I felt like Sheldon and Penny were moving a little too fast. So here is the new version...

*#*#*#*#*#*#*

"Oh and by the way! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Cooper." The man yelled back with a wink as he walked back to his table.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

Everyone had watched the conversation confused. Sheldon and Penny gambling? And winning? Sounds like they had more fun than everyone thought.

"Oh and by the way! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs Cooper."

Everyones mouth dropped. Raj started choking on his drink, Howard started smacking Raj's back. Bernadette and Priya looked at eachother shocked. When Sheldon heard it his heart skipped. At first he thought he should see a doctor, then he realized, it actually sounded nice. Except for… "Actually,…."

Everyone looked for the correction that Sheldon was sure to spew off 90 miles an hour. And it was kind of a relief for them, the man must have been mistaken. They were together so he must have just assumed. Right?

"…It's DR. and Mrs Cooper." Sheldon corrected

Everyone gasp and Leonard looked back and forth between Penny and Sheldon "Wanna catch me up here Sheldon?l

"Um, Uh, Leonard its not what it looks like…"Penny jumped in.

"What does it look like?" Sheldon asked (Had to throw that in from thefinale lol)

"It looks like you two are married." Howard jumped in.

"We are." Sheldon said blankly.

"Oh, God." Penny dropped her head in her hands.

"What" Leonard shouted. "You got Married? Bazinga right….where's the Bazinga?"

"No Bazinga Leonard, Penny and I were apparently married last night. We have the marriage license to prove it."

"Ok, Sheldon, Funny, the jokes over now."

"I assure you this is no joke."

Penny finally looked up. "Leonard," she said softly, "Sheldons not joking."

"Wha…What were you thinking? You married him?...You wouldn't even say you loved me but you would get married on a whim to him?"Leonard said shocked

"What." Priya said "why do you care if they are getting married, were engaged now."

Penny stood up from the table and walked out of the restaurant into the lobby of the hotel. She walked around looking for a quiet corner to sit…and cry. Leonard had hurt her. And how could he say that about Sheldon. Sheldon at least saw her as Penny. Not some pretty blonde that is a conquest to date. He treats her with respect. Why wouldn't she marry him? Yeah, Why wouldn't she? She shook the thought away. Even though he showed her more respect than any man he was still Sheldon and he wouldn't want to stay married to her. Stay married? What was she thinking? She couldn't stay married to him, could she?

Sheldon got up from the table to go after Penny. "Leonard, its seems that you have upset my wife, I will deal with you later."

"Wife…Wha…is this a joke…are we on tv? I feel like we are in the twilight zone." Howard said with a nervous laugh.

"Howard honey, I think breakfast is over. I am going to go see if Penny is ok." With a kiss she got up and headed out.

"This is crazy!" Raj blurted out, so happy that the girls had gone. "Sheldon and Penny? Come on Howard I want to see this." They both walked out into the lobby to find the others.

"Leonard I didn't know that you were still holding onto Penny like that. Can't you just get over it. She didn't love you, big deal. You have me now."

"I know, I'm sorry, it was just a shock."

"Yeah, well, I'm not in the mood for any lectures today. I'm going to the room. We can talk later. I think you have some apologizing to do." Priya said as she stood up.

"Yeah, I know, It's just crazy ya know. Why would they get married?"

"You don't think they were, you know, intimate, before?"

"Nooo, Not Sheldon! He wouldn't touch her, well not like that." He shivered thinking about it.

"Well, you can see he really cares about her, you see how he ran after her? Only a man in love does something like that."

"You think? Nooo. Sheldon in love? Not possible." He thought for a minute, maybe? He lets her cross lines he would get banished for. And they have Soft Kitty. He really cares about her.

"I guess we will find out. I'm going upstairs. I will meet you later. Love you" She got up

"K, Love you too." He gave her a kiss as he followed her out.

Leonard walked around for a few minutes before he was stopped in his tracks. Howard, Raj and Bernadette were watching Penny and Sheldon on a bench from a distance. They all just stood there as the scene unfolded before them. Sheldon sat next to Penny and had his arm around her shoulders while she cried. He was talking to her but they couldn't hear from the distance what he was saying. Penny looked up at him. Her face was confused, then happy as he talked. He looked like he had asked a question but they couldn't tell. Penny and Sheldon looked at eachother silently for a few seconds before she nodded her head yes. She smiled at him and him at her. She wiped her eyes and before standing up quickly reached over and gave him a hug. Sheldon looked shocked at first, but soon relaxed and hugged her back. As they stood they noticed the audience accross the lobby and began walking towards them.
