Present Day
They went back to the car and headed home, luckily everyone else was still asleep and Penny could attend to the bruises that Sheldon had gotten.
When she had finished they went to Sheldon's room and prepared for bed.
Leonard arrived home, thankful that his girlfriend was off with her girlfriends for few days. He looked at himself bruised and battered in the mirror. Luckily the show was in recess for three weeks and he could do something to get the bruising down before anyone noticed.
He would have loved to go to the police about Sheldon but he knew if anyone got video of him keying the car then his career would be over and his girlfriend would dump him due to the bad press. Not even Sheldon was worth losing what he had, but he would get even with Sheldon over this. He thought that maybe he could arrange for Sheldon's actions to be reported to the university but then if Sheldon explained the situation it might backfire on him.
He cursed his luck, but he was patient as he had lived with the nut job for 7 years, a couple of weeks or more would make it all seem worthwhile. If he destroyed Sheldon and Penny relationship beyond repair, it would make the pain just go away.
Meanwhile back at the comic book store
Stuart looked again at the video he had shot on his phone, carefully he loaded it onto the computer, and he had also downloaded the confrontation in the store as well. He was grateful for the time that Penny had taken agreed to go with him on a date. He had feelings for her, but he also knew so did Sheldon.
He had seen how sad and lonely Sheldon had gotten over the past two months and was glad that Penny had gotten better. He thought that maybe he could ask Sheldon to get Penny to set him up with someone as it had worked out well for Howard.
For now he would keep the videos safe so that should Leonard do anything to hurt them, he would just upload them to the YouTube. Leonard had never been a good friend, always rubbing it in his face about all the girls he got with.
He looked once more at the Leonard file he had gathered over the years.
"Just hurt Sheldon and Penny, you bastard and I will make your life a hell" he thought
The Next morning
Penny had not seen so many people in the apartments since that last party they threw. Sheldon was in a real whacky mood, as his bathroom schedule was all out of whack. His mother had cooked breakfast with Meemaw, and as Sheldon complained about that today was not Pancake Day, his Meemaw only had to say "Now Moonpie" and Sheldon folded to their wishes so fast, she could not help but laugh.
Penny could not believe how happy she was, sitting there with her parents, the Coopers, her sister, Sheldon, Amy and Raj. She did not quite understand why Amy and Raj was still here in the morning, though by the big grin on Raj's face, she had a feeling that they had been busy that night.
She sat and watched Missy feed her newborn child with her sister not helping by distracting the poor child. Not that Missy seemed to mind, in fact it seemed that she and her sister had bonded somewhat of the past months. They also seemed to take delight in teasing both Penny and Sheldon with telling stories of how difficult they had it growing up with such siblings.
Sheldon had asked for some personal time which had been granted so he would be staying around with everyone. Doctor Wallace had said that she would see Penny after Christmas and that she was to enjoy being with everyone. That would not be a problem.
Sheldon looked at Penny, he was feeling like he had achieved all he ever wanted, sure the apartment was overrun by his family and Penny's soon to be old apartment by her family. He had walked in on Missy changing a nappy, he made a mental note to make sure he disinfected the bathroom.
He still was unsure about her child though, he had hopes that it would be smart, not a smart as him as after all it was Missy and some guy which as Sheldon had not selected the perfect male to mate with his sister meant that the chances of Sheldon 2.0 was unlikely.
His mother and Penny parents looked like they were getting along fine, Amy and Raj seemed to be forming a close relationship, though Raj was still having trouble talking with all the women around, it did not seem to worry Amy in the slightest.
He walked over to the couch and sat in his spot, Penny sitting next to him.
"How are you this morning Penny?"
"A little overwhelmed and a little scared that Leonard might do something to you after last night"
"Well the only other witness was you and any camera would have gotten Leonard keying your car, plus I do not think Leonard will want the publicity"
"True but what are we going to do about Leonard"
"Live our life, I refuse to have Leonard dictate to us Penny, he has caused enough hurt to you and our friends"
"He hurt you too Sheldon"
"Yes he did but I am more concerned about the hurt to you"
"Sheldon, I will be okay"
"You say that now Penny, but I worry about the future, Leonard is obsessed with controlling you, he will not be happy unless all you have is him even if he is in other relationship, he does not want anyone to have you"
"Sheldon listen to me, I belong to no one, I am your friend, girlfriend because I choose to be, because I love you, I never loved Leonard, he was just convenient"
"Are you sure you love me Penny"
"Sheldon I have very strong feelings towards you, I believe I love you, I am willing to risk loving you"
"I have strong feelings as well, I am unfamiliar with them but I believe I love you and always had"
"We have time Sheldon, we will work out our relationship together and together we will deal with whatever comes along"
"Ok Penny, but I also believe there is something we need to do as well"
"What is that?"
"I know Stuart cares for you, he is lonely, you were able to help Howard find Bernadette, and could you help him too."
"Sheldon are you asking me to set him up"
"Yes, he is a friend and has been a good friend, I want him to experience what I am experiencing"
"I cannot believe it Sheldon Cooper caring for others"
"I always did Penny, I just chose not to show it openly, unless it was you"
"Well ok, I will see who I know and I will get Bernadette to help me"
"So Penny what do you want to do today"
"Be with you and our families, I just want to see what happens today"
"Penny you know I struggle with going with the flow as one might say"
"Well Moonpie, you are going to have to learn if you love me"
"And you will have to learn to have some order to your life as well"
"Agreed"
"Agreed"
"Also there will be no relationship, roommate or boyfriend/girlfriend agreements"
"Drats"
"Now where is that baby, I feel like I need to cuddle the lovely child" as Penny got up and walked over to Missy.
Sheldon looked on, he felt himself smiling, he thought of the future and he liked what it could be.
"Come and meet Uncle Sheldon" Penny said bringing the baby towards Sheldon
"Penny"
"Moonpie, get use to this, if we have kids you will be have to nurse them"
"Devil woman" Sheldon said as Penny put the baby on his lap
