Sheldon face was now soaked from tears, as Rory told him about her childhood and how desparately she tried to get back to him the tears wouldnt stop flowing, unaware to them both there were five people 10 meteres below them evesdropping to the conversation, they were crying also.

Sheldon told Rory about his life, his parents sent him to boarding school soon after Rory left as a result of his work with lazers, he told her about his friends, his PHD's and his work, Rory was fascinated with his work on string theory, he promised to show her his calculations and articles, it turns out she had read quite a lot of the published ones and kept a scrapbook of them, then she said something that made sheldons heart melt,

"I thought it would be cool to show it to our kids one day."

Rory told him that she hadn't dated, hadn't had sex, she had basically put her whole emotional life on hold for him, just as he had done for her.

Sheldon told her about California, she wanted to see it so badly, Sheldon asked the question that had been on the tip of his tongue since he heard her voice,

"do you still want to stick to the aggreement and get married today?" he asked hopefully

"Sheldon I want to marry you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life but it's 9pm, we dont have time today, hows tomorrow for you? we could go to vegas frst thing if you still want to get married there."

Sheldon thought about it, did he really want a cheap wedding in vegas? he certainly liked the idea of it being in klingon, although noone apart from them and Howard would be able to understand what they were saying.

"where do you want to get married?" said Sheldon.

"how about here? I can get a dress in the morning and we can ask mr norton to do the ceremony, all your family and friends are here, I can call the Gregs and ask if they want to come, we can round up the town."

Sheldon loved this idea, he agreed, they both fell asleep together, holding each other staring up at the stars, relieved that they were together once again.

But Sheldon was still bursting for the toilet.
