A/N Well I really hope you all enjoy this one! I know it's short and I'm really sorry, but my friend asked me to hurry up with the next chapter, so here it is! :) Thank you for the reviews!
Leonard quickly jumped out of bed and ran to his bathroom. He had barely made it in time, diving his head into the toilet, only to have his breakfast stare back at him. He glowered as he leaned back, his head pounding in his ears. If walking wasn't really a good idea then running was certainly out of the question and yet here he was sitting on his bathroom floor upchucking the contents of his food. Yup definitely not a good idea. The nausea was going away, but now he was feeling dizzy, suddenly he realized he wasn't alone. Penny stood in the doorway a look of worry planted on her face. She quickly walked over and grabbed a towel then she knelt down beside him and handed it to him. He murmured a quick 'thanks' and wiped his face. Penny smiled and started rubbing his back. After a few minutes the dizziness subsided and she helped him up. They walked to the couch where Penny deposited him and then went over into the kitchen. Leonard didn't dare look to his left; he simply shut his eyes and leaned back into the couch, letting out a loud sigh. Penny returned a few moments later with a glass of water.
They didn't really say much as they left the apartment. Penny quickly locked the door then they slowly worked their way down the stairs, stopping every few flights. It was sort of a blur for Leonard as Penny helped him into the car, only just a few hours ago he had been getting out, finally home after all that had happened. But Leonard was happy, no he was ecstatic, Sheldon was awake! He just didn't know how to show it, or rather he didn't want to get his hopes up and have them crushed like they had so many times before. He frowned at the window. Penny was staying silent as well but there was no hiding the smile on her face. She kept sparing Leonard a few glances here and there, confusion and concern sliding onto her face as she noticed his frown.
They pulled swiftly into the parking lot of the hospital. Penny pulling her phone out as she helped him out the car. A few seconds later someone seemed to pick up.
"Hello? Penny, is everything ok?" A small voice asked through the speaker. Bernadette! Leonard stared at the phone.
"Yea, yea everything's fine, but Bernadette guess what! Sheldon's awake!" Penny squealed happily. "So you can tell Amy to hurry up and get down here, before Leonard and I start to celebrate without her!" She joked, a grin forming on her face. She really was happy, and she could almost see Bernadette grinning through the phone as well.
"We'll be right over!" She said, then there was a sudden click fallowed by silence as she hung up. Penny slid her phone into her pocket and looked at him, grinning from ear to ear.
"Come on!" She said wrapping an arm around him as they hobbled up the sidewalk to the front doors.
Inside the place was crowded, then again it was later in the day and more and more people only seemed to show up. They quickly edged towards an elevator, trying to squeeze though a horde of coughing and sneezing people. Eventually they made it in and Penny pressed the all too familiar floor number. The elevator gave a start and then it began to ascend swiftly. Once the doors opened with a 'ding' they rushed out. Penny helped/pulled Leonard along as she, her self, was having a hard time containing her excitement.
A few minutes of walking down a maze of hallways and Leonard recognized the room number, #472, this is it! He thought as he began to blink furiously, trying to keep himself composed. Penny stopped and they both looked at each other, she smiling like the Grinch while he tried to smile, but his worries kept getting in the way.
"Are you ready?" She asked her voice a bit shaky, obviously she wasn't nearly as confident as she looked. Leonard sucked in a deep breath.
"Yea. I- I think so." He said letting out a lungful of air.
"Let's do this." Penny said with a smirk as she quickly closed the distance between her and the door. Silently she turned the door handle and pushed it open; she stepped back briefly so that he could go in first. Yet even as Leonard slipped past her, he knew something was up, but nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to see.
A/N Du Du Duuuu! Ohhhhh I know I'm so evil :p just playing, and don't worry it isn't nearly as bad as it sounds!
