Penny stood in the nearly emptied out apartment that once was the home of Sheldon and Leonard. A lot of things had changed in the past week and a half.

The biggest was Penny was no longer in-cased by two casts, now she only had a brace on her wrist. Her physical therapy has gone well and she'll be able to return to work in the next week.

Sheldon has been back to work for about three days now and has pretty much stopped running on any form of schedule now a days. But all he's really been doing is working and packing. There really isn't much option for anything else.

Amy has returned to her own apartment since Penny has now had the use of both of her legs. But she was over nearly ever evening along with Howard, Raj and Bernadette to help with the packing and moving process.

Leonard's mother and older sister, Beverly and Lucy, was coming sometime next week to help clean out Leonard's bedroom. Beverly kept going on and on about it would help the healing process, which made Penny want to crawl through the phone and strangle her.

The one thing that hasn't changed is that Penny still hasn't told Sheldon what she overheard him say or even how shelf felt about him. But unknown to Penny, is that everyone else was betting on who was going to spill the beans first.

"Well, this is the last out of my room." Sheldon said, carrying two boxes both of them filled with his comic books.

"Well, that's great. All we have left is my bedroom and bathroom, and Leonard's bedroom. Which we'll start that next week. Things are moving pretty fast." Penny said, taking one of the boxes from Sheldon and the two of them headed to Penny's apartment.

"You know, if we get all of your things packed and get to the furniture store tonight, we could get out of here by tomorrow night." Sheldon said.

"Really? That fast?" Penny said. She knew that her time was coming to an end living in this apartment, she just never figured it would go so quick.

"Yep! But with six people packing, it shouldn't have been that big of a surprise. Are you crying?" Sheldon asked, noticing a few tears slip down her cheeks.

"Yes, I don't know why either. It's just that this is the first place where I lived by myself. I went from living with my parents to living with Kurt to here. It's just hard to see myself living anywhere else. I did a lot of growing up here." Penny said, She hadn't even noticed that Sheldon had moved to stand right in front of her until she felt his thumb brush away a few of her tears.

"Everything will be okay." he said, barely above a whisper.

"I know. After everything that has happened in the last few months, it's just so over whelming." Penny said, laying her head on Sheldon's chest. After a few minutes she felt Sheldon timidly slip his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. The two of them stood there as Penny sobbed into Sheldon's chest.

"He proposed that night." Penny said, breaking the silent.

"What?" Sheldon asked, as Penny pulled away and started pacing the apartment.

"Leonard. He proposed that night and then got pissed off when I turned him down."

Sheldon couldn't say a word but he did fight like hell to not smile when she said she turned him down.

"All this was my fault. Leonard's dying is all my fault." Penny said, tears streaming down her face again.

"Penny! Penny calm down and look at me. None of this is your fault. Leonard ran a red light you had nothing to do about that."

"I know. But I hadn't…" she stalled.

"Hadn't what?"

"If I hadn't fallen in love with you, I wouldn't have had to turn him down." Penny said quietly. This is not the way she wanted him to find out.

"Penny." Sheldon said, grabbing hold of Penny's face so she would look at him. "Leonard had the right to get mad when you turned him down. But he was the one that started driving while upset. He's the one that wasn't paying attention that night and ran that red light. None of this is any of your fault." Sheldon said, causing Penny to cry even harder than before.

"Thank you, Sheldon."

"For what?"

"For just being you. And being here when I needed you the most."

"It's my pleasure, Penny."

Penny cupped his face with her hand and took a deep breath. It was now or never. "I love you, Sheldon."

"I love you, too Penny. I think I always have." Sheldon said, leaning down and capturing her lips with is own.

THE END

A/N: This chapter has had a mind of its own. When I sat down to start this chapter I had no plans on it ending this way. Kind of on the fence now with the ending. So tell me what you think and maybe that'll change my mind. Sadly I think that story will only have a few more chapters left. But I am working on another multi chapter story, and might get it posted soon. Danielle.
