"Fine, but I am sure to die of hypothermia without my pajamas" He said under his breath. Just then Penny kicked him under the covers. "Owe, Penny, please don't make me report you for domestic abuse."
Penny rolled over, "Go to sleep Sheldon"
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
When Sheldon awoke the next morning, his arm was laying across his wife. He slept like a baby and was happy to find that Penny did not snore anymore. A sign that she was completely relaxed. He slowly lifted his arm and made his way to the bathroom. When he was finished he found Penny standing in the kitchen in his t-shirt making coffee. He had never seen a more beautiful sight. The superman symbol was stretched across her chest.
"Oh, hey honey, good morning." She said cheerfully. "You want to get ready and go out for breakfast?"
"That is fine with me. I think I am going to head nextdoor and shower. I will be back to pick you up."
"Ok, can't wait." She turned from the coffee pot to give him a peck as he walked by. Even though they had now engaged in coitus on two occasions, it still caught him off guard when she surprised him like that. Sheldon new that he would need to get used to it to make his new wife happy.
Sheldon pulled his pants and long sleeve shirt on to walk back to his apartment. He found his socks and shoes near the door.
When he opened the door to 4A Leonard, Howard and Raj were sitting in their paintball gear waiting for him.
"There you are. Where have you been. You never came home last night. You didn't get stuck again did you?" Raj scolded
"No,actually I stayed with Penny."
"You what? You stayed with Penny, in her apartment, all night?" Howard was shocked.
"That is what I said wasn't it. I asked Penny to stay married and she agreed. We are in love"
"In love? Only a few days ago you were planning on divorcing her, now you are staying married?" Howard asked
"Yes, Leonard helped me see that we need eachother." Leonard was grinning.
"Surprise" Leonard and Raj said in unison with a laugh.
"You knew about this, and didn't tell me?" Howard huffed "I'm hurt."
"Come on, we just wanted to see the looks on your face when Sheldon told you. Yeah, it was worth it." Leonard gleamed "Sheldon are you joining us for paintball?"
"I'm sorry to say I won't be able to join you this afternoon as Penny and I are going out for breakfast and planning a trip."
"Awe, Penny and Sheldon, taking a honeymoon. How sweet." Raj said mockingly.
"No actually we are going to see our families. Penny insisted that we tell them about our union, although I requested we never tell my mother. Hmmm, a Honeymoon, seems that we missed that step. I wil have to speak with Penny about one at a later date."
"Wow, dude, you have to tell her dad, good luck, he knows how to work big machinary." Raj replied.
Sheldon rolled his eyes and walked towards his room to get ready.
*#*#*#*#*#*
After breakfast Sheldon and Penny made their way home and sat on the couch in Sheldon's apartment. Sheldon opened his laptop and began searching for airline tickets.
"How about we go in a few weeks Sheldon, that way I can get moved in." Penny asked
"That sounds fair. How about 2 weeks from today?"
"Fine with me. We can go see your family first for a few days then fly to Nebraska to see my family for a few days."
Sheldon began typing away. "Will we be staying in a hotel or with our parents?"
"Umm…I guess we could stay with your family if you think they would be ok with that, and my family would insist on us staying with them."
"I am sure my mother will insist as well." He continued typing. "OK, there it is, our trip is booked for two weeks from today."
"I guess now the only thing left to do is call them and tell them we are coming…what do we say?"
"We could tell them that we are coming in for a trip and bringing a friend." He smirked
"Sheldon, you can't lie."
"It's not a lie Penny, you are my friend, my best friend" She smiled and gave him a peck.
"awe, and you're my best friend sweety…It's gonna be fine. Lets just get this over with. You call first."
"Oh, no Penny, ladies first."
"No, no its ok." They sat there for a second just staring at eachother waiting for the other to make the first move towards their cell phones.
"Fine…I will do it first." Penny picked up her phone and dialed.
"Hello?" the women on the line answered.
"Hey mom its Penny."
"Penny, its so good to hear from you. How are things going in california. Are you a movie star yet. Hold on a minute your father just walked in. Honey, Penny's on the line…"
"Mom, mom…."
"What Penny? What is it."
"I just was calling to let you know that I will be flying in to see you in a couple weeks…oh and I am bringing a friend."
"Penny that's so wonderful…Honey you hear Pennys' coming to visit."
Penny sighed. "Mom I will call you later with all the details and when to pick us up from the airport. I have to go Love you"
"Ok sweety, I love you to, talk to you soon!" her mother called out before Penny shut her phone.
"Ok its your turn."
"Oh its really not necess…"
"Sheldon. Dial" She said sharply.
"Fine" He opened his phone and dialed.
"Hello?"
"Hello mother, it is your youngest son, Sheldon Cooper."
"Sheldon, I just got back from my prayer group they are sendin' up extra prayers for ya' these days. How are things going your way,"
"fine mother, I just wanted to inform you that I would be coming for a visit in two weeks and I will be bringing a companion so please prepare."
"Awe, Shelly your bringin' a friend home. That's wonderful."
Yes, mother, sooo wonderful. Now mother do you still have the laptop I sent you for christmas…"
"Yes Shelly, but I can't figure out how to turn the darned thing on."
Sheldon sighed "Never mind, I will send all of the flight information to Missy, she can give it to you."
"Fine with me honey, can't wait to see ya, and memaw says hi"
"Tell memaw I said hello and will see her soon. Goodbye mother"
"Bye Shelly." He closed the phone and glared down at Penny sitting next to him. "Are you happy now."
"Yes, now since all of that is settled why don't we spend a little "alone" time together."
"Penny we are alone, Leonard Raj and Howard are out playing paintball until later this afternoon."
Penny looked at him annoyed "Sheldon…"
