"Sheldon, I so can't believe that you're doing this." Penny said, a few hours later. The two of them was making their way up to Penny's apartment, followed by Amy.

Sheldon's brilliant plan to get Penny up to her apartment was to carry her bridal style up three floor stories.

"Are you sure that you're not going to drop me?" Penny asked, as they got up on the third floor. It was strange that he was able to carry her, when they first met he was barely able to push a TV stand up stairs with Leonard. Things really have changed.

"For the fifth time, Penny I'm not going to drop you." Sheldon said, and Penny felt him sigh. As they rounded the fourth floor, Penny had a strange feeling. The last time she had been here was a month ago and she was leaving with Leonard. Who knew that would be the last time they would leave together or that she wouldn't even remember anything past that point.

Amy unlocked her apartment door letting the two of them in.

"Your parents said they cleaned up in here before they left. So it's a lot cleaner in here." Amy said, while laying Penny's things on the coffee table.

"You can just put me down in my bedroom." Penny told Sheldon, and the two of them made their way to the bedroom.

Sheldon gently laid her on the bed and watched as she gleefully took over the whole bed.

"Ten times better than that hard hospital bed." Penny said shoving her good arm under one of the pillows only to hit something hard underneath it. Slipping the object in her hand she pulled it out to discover it was one of Leonard's old inhalers.

Looking at it for a few minutes a lot of things ran through her head. She was never really able to mourn Leonard's death; everything had been all about getting her healthy enough to go home. She just never thought about memories she had of Leonard in this apartment.

Maybe Sheldon didn't have such a bad idea about moving. Penny looked up at Sheldon to see him memorized with Leonard's inhaler. She was really starting to worry about him. Sure he was eating a little more, but his sleeping hadn't changed all that much. Plus he still wouldn't tell her about the nightmares he was having.

"OK, Sheldon. I'll do it." Penny said, startling him out of his thoughts.

"May I ask what you are talking about?" Sheldon asked.

"I know I'm going to regret this later. But I'll be your new roommate." Penny said, causing Sheldon to smile. This was the first time in nearly five years of knowing each other that Penny had seen his true smile. A smile that made Penny's heart flutter harder in her chest.

Before Penny could even process what was happening, Sheldon was lunging at her pulling her into a tight hug, or as tight as you could get seeing that she was still lying on the bed.

"Thank you, Penny." He said, into her hair.

"You're welcome, sweetie. We need each other right now."

Sheldon pulled back a bit and had his face so close to hers that their noses were almost touching. "I think I've always need you, Penny." Sheldon said, his blue eyes burning into hers.

Was it Penny's imagination or was he leaning closer?
"Uhhh….What is going on in here?" said a voice from behind them.

"Sheldon stood up so quickly from the bed that he nearly lost his balance. Penny had totally forgotten that Amy was with them. Before a word was said, Sheldon was out of the room.

"Care to explain." Amy said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"I…I have agreed to be Sheldon's new roommate."

"Wow! You're really going to move in with Sheldon? I think you might be the one that's crazy, not Sheldon." Amy said, causing Penny to glare at her.

".Ha. You're so funny."

"But seriously was that thing that I walked in on? That looked a lot more than two friends." Amy said, causing Penny to sigh.

"Honestly, I have no idea. But if I ever figure it out, you'll be the first to know." Penny said. Amy went to say something but was interrupted by Sheldon entering the room, his laptop in hand.

"I've been look at this place online for a couple of weeks. Since you have finally agreed to move in with me, I've contacted the realtor and she said we can do a walk through as soon as tomorrow."

"Realtor? Since when do you need a realtor to rent an apartment?" Penny asked.

"Well, it's more of buying then renting. Plus, it's more of a condo then an apartment." Sheldon said, showing Penny the pictures on his computer.

"Sheldon! Don't you think that's a bit much for the two of us? We may not live together forever."

"I know. But it has two bathrooms as well, so I thought it would fit our needs a lot better. Plus it's only two blocks from the university; since you're unable to drive I could get myself to work."

"And from the looks of it, it's only six blocks from my apartment. So I could come over even more. Wouldn't that be fun, bestie?" Amy said, with a huge smile on her face.

"Fine, set it up. It wouldn't hurt anything to just look. But I do have a question about tonight though. Sheldon, we're you going to sleep. You won't go into your apartment and my couch is too small, plus I'm not giving my bed up this time." Penny said.

Sheldon and Amy glanced at one another, neither had thought of that. The plan was for Amy to stay over to help Sheldon with Penny. But they never thought of where he was going to sleep.

"We could always drag your couch into Sheldon's apartment and bring his in here. Sheldon could take the couch and I could just share the bed with you, bestie." Amy suggested.

"Or you take the couch, Amy and I could just sleep in here. That way we wouldn't have to move furniture around. It would just be unnecessary." Sheldon said.

"Sheldon, are you suggesting that we share a bed together?" Penny asked, as shocked expression on her face.

"Why not? It's the simplest solution and it's not like I've never slept with another person before. Missy and I share a bed while growing up and I've even been in the same bed with Meemaw from time to time."

"But Sheldon, I'm not your sister or grandmother. It's a little different for us."

"I'm sure I'll be fine." Sheldon said, as they heard a knock on the door. "That'll be our food." Sheldon said, heading out of the bedroom to answer the door.

"Penny, you have my blessing." Amy said, her eyes still glued on the open bedroom door.

"Excuse me?"

"You have my blessing to date Sheldon. I have no more feelings for him. Honestly, I don't know if I ever did."

"Who said that I wanted to date Sheldon?" Penny said,, her voice going up an octave as she spoke.

"Well, no one. But the way he's acting I think he might want to be with you. He's willing to sleep in the same bed with you. I couldn't even get him to sleep in the same bed as me when he showed up at my apartment at two in the morning with those stupid bongos. So he's either in love with you, who wouldn't be, or he's so depressed he doesn't want to be alone. I think it's more the first one or both." Amy said, and then just left the room suddenly leaving Penny to her thoughts.
