Sheldon awoke to the sound of Nature, he hated birds but he didn't seem bothered by them now, he was unable to move, there was Rory laying accross him, pinning him down unintentially, the feel of her warm body was heaven, they fell asleep together several times as children, now it seemed intimate considering they were adults, they were not as innocent now as they were back then.

Sheldon could kind of understand why his friends enjoyed sleeping with others, even if you take away the sex it is lovely just to wake up with the person you love.

Rory started to stir, this scared Sheldon quite a lot, would it be embarrassing for them? he didn't know, he didn't know much about how Rory would react to his gestures, his comments or his demeanor, he had never cared about how people would react to him in the past, but this was completly different.

Rory and him had been separated through no fault of thier own, but what if he had changed too much and she rejected him, he had become stubborn and at some points, rude and bitter over the years, he didn't like change, how would he feel about sharing a life with someone else, he was going to get married today, what are his friends going to think?

one day he shouts at them all the next day he has to tell them that he is marrying his soulmate, he didn't want to tell them about Rory's past as it wasn't his place to do so.

Rory's eyes opened, he looked straight into them and saw the spark, like a twinkle, that she only had for him.

"good morning stranger" she said in a half yawn, stretching herself out ofer his body and relaxing on top of him, she grumbled and sat up, looked at her watch, "oh heck its 8am"

" im going to get a beverage, would you like one?" asked Sheldon politely.

"that sounds good, I would love a coffee, can I come with?" Rory replied.

Sheldon took Rory to his childhood home, opening the door for her, Sheldon went upstairs and changed his clothes in the bathroom, he got a spare toothbrush out for Rory and headed downstairs, he told rory she was welcome to freshen up, Rory opted for a shower.

Sheldon made Rory a coffee and him a herbal tea, he took them upstairs and went into the shower room, handing Rory her coffee through the curtain as she had requested.

What Sheldon saw shocked him, Rory had so many scars, mostly on her arms but her ribcage aswell, she was so beautiful, even with the marks that her life had left her with, when she turned around her back was covered in small silver lines, it looked like her parents used belts on her, the poor girl he thought, how could anyone think that this was normal, he let Rory finish up and he went downstairs to tell his mum the good news, she was thrilled, so were his friends, Missy gave him a hug which he pointed out was unauthorised and Al didn't know who Rory was but asked if she had a nice ass.

Sheldons mum went ballistic at Al, threatened to throw him out if he didn't be more kind to Sheldon, she put the fear of God into everyone, Sheldon was going to make a Bruce Banner gamma radiation reference but even he knew it would end in bloodshed.

Rory came into the kitchen and then gang got a good look at her, she was quite skinny, long black hair and blue/green eyes, she wore a long sleeved top with the evelutionary scale on the front and darkwash flared jeans, she was a science geek/ hippy Leonard thought.

She said hello to everyone and introduced herself, she stated that she and Sheldon were childhood sweethearts and left it at that, as everyone unbeknown to her knew the whole truth they didn't question her, they discussed her law training and what a relief it was for her to have passed the Bar a week ago, she could help to protect people from injustice and stand up for people, Sheldon pointed out that technically this put her in the same league as Batman.

Sheldon went around the neighbourhood, first to the reverands house, he was delighted to marry them in Roreldonia that afternoon at 2pm, as he had known them as children and taught them every Sunday he was thrilled to join thier hands in matrimony.

Rory and Shledon took it in turns going around, knocking on doors, this led to a round robin and all of a sudden the neighbourhood was not only delighted that Rory was back, but they accepted the invitations to the wedding.

they had to plan for around 250 guests, Shleldons mum and sister went to Costco and bought out most of the store, making sure to pick up enough Champagne, Rory and Penny went to the local bridal store and forund the perfect dress. it was a Maggie Sottero called Olivia, they managed to find a long vail that covered Rorys arms nicely, her Jewellery was simple but elegant. her tiara was called Woodstock from the flo and percy collection, it suited her instantly.

Sheldon had gone to the local suit store with raj, howard and Leonard, they all picked out matching suits, although Sheldon already had one, he bought a different one as it was a special occassion, they were all wearing matching purple cravats, crisp white shirts and black suits, they looked awesome according to the shop assistant Hillary.

the town had gotten together, everyone brought chairs, the treehouse was decorated with lanterns and tea lights were lit everywhere, it was perfect.
