Okay I just wanted to say about the last chapter. I'm a huge firefly fan, and I wanted to write it in, that's the reason for the brown coat thing. And anyone who doesn't understand it just watch firefly, you won't be sorry. Now on with the show.

In the restaurant everyone is sitting around the table, smiling, laughing and talking.

Claire, raising her glass: "Can I have everyone's attention please I'd like to make a toast."

Everyone rises there cups.

Claire, happily: "Here is to new beginnings."

Everyone at the table: "New beginnings!"

Dan, looking at Jenny smiling: "Should we tell them?"

Jenny, smiling: "Go ahead."

Dan, to everyone: "I guess we had better make this a double celebration, Mom your going to be a grandmother again."

Amy, lost for words: "You mean you and Jenny are pregnant?"

Dan, still grinning: "Well technically Jenny will be the only one pregnant."

Penny, excited: "That's wonderful have you got names chosen yet?"

Jenny: "Nothings been decided yet but Adam if a boy and Elizabeth if a girl."

Claire, raising her glass to Dan and his wife: "Here's to you guys."

Jake, agreeing: "Here here sis."

Leonard: "To Dan, Jenny and Adam or Elizabeth."

Jenny, gratefully: "Thanks everybody, Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drag this man to the dance floor."

Dan, jokingly: "Great I never get a break."

Jenny, matching his tone: "Why did I marry you again?"

Dan: "I let you off with a speeding ticket remember."

Jenny: "Just dance with me sexy."

Dan and Jenny leave the table.

Jesse, wondering: "Mommy where do babies come from?"

Claire, uncertain about what to say: "Erm well honey you see the thing about it is."

Jake: "Jesse, they come from a secret location and are delivered to the hospital."

Jesse: "Okay, can I have some ice cream?"

Claire: "You know what I feel like one as well."

Leonard: "I'm going to the bar does anybody want anything?"

Amy: "I'm fine son."

Jake: "I'll take another beer."

Penny: "Nothing for me."

Penny looks over to the dance floor and sees Dan and Jenny dancing happily together.

Amy, to Penny: "What're you thinking there, sweetie."

Penny: "I was just thing how happy those two are with each other and I hope I can find somebody like that."

Amy: "You will, you just haven't found him yet."

Jake just chuckles to himself shaking his head.

Penny, looking at Jake: "What so funny?"

Jake, staring at her: "You've got to be kidding me, you don't realize do you?"

Penny, sarcastically: "Please enlighten me, oh knowledgeable one."

Jake: "You've found him you love Leonard, you just haven't admitted it to yourself yet."

Penny: "That's ridicules."

Jake: "Give me a reason why?"

Penny, struggling: "Well for starters he's … And I'm…..then there's…. oh okay what about err that thing…"

Jake: "You know what I bet if those reasons made sense then you might have a point."

Penny: "Who's to say that he even likes me like that, maybe he just wants to be friends."

Jake, sarcastically: "Well I guess any guy who goes into a burning building for you could just want to be friends."

Penny, worried: "But what if it doesn't work out?"

Jake, after a pause: "Everyone has a shot, but what can make it work or fail is how hard they are willing to work at it."

Penny: "So you think we have a shot?"

Jake: "Sure why not?"

Penny leaves the table to go and talk to Leonard.

As she walks to the bar she starts to think. No matter what's happened in her life Leonard has always been there for her, even if he is exhausted from work he puts her first. Not because he is trying to get with her like so many of her ex's, but because Leonard truly cares for her.

Thinking about it now it was obverses that he cared about her as a person. The amount of times Leonard had invited her to just hangout with him, Sheldon, Howard and Raj just so she wouldn't be lonely. But what would they be like as a couple; they have little in common as it is. Whenever Leonard talks about science or intellectual stuff, she can just never seem to stay awake. It wasn't like Sheldon trying to explain things; Leonard would be sweet about it and try to explain it in simple terms.

On the other hand if they did have nothing in common, then they wouldn't spend time with each other at all. So maybe they do have some things in common, like the fact that they both are tired of people always stereotyping them as a nerd in Leonard's case and a dumb blond in hers. Plus she'd lost count of the times people had commented on them being a cute couple. The more she thought about her and Leonard being together the happier she got and more excited.

Penny, thinking out loud: "Why've I never thought about this, it's so right?"

Penny enters the bar area and looks around to find Leonard. She spots him waiting for the drinks at the bar. He is talking to a girl waiting next to him, she then laughs at something he say's, after which that she writes a phone number on a napkin and gives it to Leonard who happily takes it.

Feeling the tears starting to build up Penny runs outside before anyone notices she has gone.

Penny, angrily with herself: "You idiot, why didn't you say something earlier."

Penny: "Maybe I can still tell him at least he'll know how I feel as well."

Deciding to tell him she starts to run back inside the building. However she bumps into somebody before getting to the front door.

Penny: "Sorry I didn't see you there."

Man, smiling: "It's quite alright, please continue Miss Morgan."

Penny, confused: "Have we met Mr..?"

Man: "My name is Kevin Turner."

As soon as Penny hears the name she recognizes it and starts to run, Kevin however grabs her and puts a chloroform cloth over her face to knock her out.

Kevin, while carrying Penny away: "Soon my queen our blood shall be one and we shall be together, however first I must dispose of the Guard dog that has you under his spell."

----

Ten minutes later Dan, Jake, Leonard, and Claire meet up outside.

Leonard, worried sick: "I checked the bar she wasn't there."

Claire, fearfully: "She wasn't in the bath rooms, a guy at the door said he saw a woman going out the door in a hurry, might have been her."

Jake, nodding: "Some people out here said she was talking to some guy one second out here and then they were gone the next."

Dan: "Did anyone try her cell phone?"

Leonard: "Three times and I left messages."

Dan: "Okay here's the plan, Claire you check the local place's round here that are still open, you find her call us ASAP."

Claire: "Okay."

Dan, pointing to Jake: "Bro take mom, Jesse and Jenny to the station see if anyone's seen her."

Leonard: "What about me?"

Dan: "You're coming with me, we'll drive to the farm, and on the off chance she's there we'll let everyone know."

Jake, depressingly: "And if not?"

Dan: "Keep looking."

-----

Leonard and Dan are driving down the road to the farm.

Leonard, thinking out loud: "If she's not here do you think we should check the hospitals?"

Dan, shaking his head: "She hates them the only way she would be there, is if she was out cold, then standard protocol is to call the next of Kim."

Leonard: "Yeah okay. Come to think of it why does she hate Hospitals anyway?"

Dan, shaking his head: "I've got a pretty good idea but you'll have to ask her yourself."

Leonard's phone starts to play the star wars theme.

Leonard, answering the phone: "Penny is that you? Where are you? Are you okay?"

Kevin's voice comes from the phone: "If you want her back come to the old steel mill before sun rise. If you call for help I'll know and you'll lose her forever."

Leonard: "Whatever you want fine just let her go please?"

Kevin, laughing: "I want to drink your blood for my queen and my self's wedding."

The line goes dead.

Dan, guessing: "He's got her right."

Leonard, fighting to keep his anger in check: "Where's the old steel mill?"

Dan, getting his phone out: "We're not far; I'll call for back up."

Leonard, quickly: "No he said if we call for help he'll know and kill her, just get there as fast as possible."

Dan: "You got a plan?"

Leonard: "If you can call it that, I go in the front keep him occupied and try and find her, you sneak in through the back and also try to find Penny get her out and call for help."

Dan: "I don't like this one bit he knows your coming he's going to be ready."

Leonard: "Exactly he's going to be focusing on me while you do your thing."
