Sorry this took so long, I didn't know how to end this.

This chapter is so, so short it's sad. I apologize for that but I wanted to save the next part for the next chapter. I promise to write it as quickly as possible to make up for this itty bitty chapter.

DISCLAIMER: So, yeah, I'm not Chuck Lorre, or Bill Prady, or Steven Molaro…

It wasn't like any cemetery Howard or Bernadette had ever been in. It was full of many tiny tombstones for tiny babies, and the whole place reeked of sadness. (Not that cemeteries were usually happy places, but the death of a child was always especially difficult.) They stood there in silence for a long time, just looking down at the tiny tombstone that belonged to their tiny baby and thinking about everything. Finally, after what felt like a long time, Howard spoke up. "I have something for you,"

Bernadette turned to look at him as he unveiled small box. When she opened it, she gasped. "Oh, Howie," It was a necklace, with a Swarovski drop crystal and a small, silver heart stamped with the shapes of two, small feet. The heart also had silver wings sprouting from it, reaching up and wrapping around the crystal. After a moment, she realized they were supposed to be angel wings.

"Do you like it?" Howard asked. "I found it online. I thought it might be a good way to you know, remember."

She smiled and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. "It's gorgeous, I love it." She assured him. "Put it on me?" She pulled up her hair and turned around, and he fumbled with the clasp as he fastened it on her neck. It fit perfectly, the charm falling right below the little star she'd worn every day since he gave it to her.

She turned back around, her hand holding onto to the charm. Again, for a little bit neither of them said anything. Finally, he offered her his hand and they both took another look at the grave marker before starting off back towards the car.

Neither of them said it out loud, but they both knew this was them growing back together. This was the beginning of their healing.

"Am I ever gonna meet your friends?"

Raj frowned as Danielle pulled away from their kiss, at first not realizing she'd spoken until he saw her looking at him, anticipating an answer. "Huh?"

Danielle sighed and resisted rolling her eyes. "Your friends," She repeated. "Are you ever going to introduce me?"

"Oh," Raj said, shrugging. "I guess."

"You guess?" Danielle said. She scooted closer to Raj, throwing her legs across his lap. He wrapped an arm around her waist. "You're not ashamed of me, are you?"

"What?" Raj gasped. "No! Of course not!" He was definitely not ashamed of Danielle. She was an amazing girl – smart, pretty, and sweet – they liked a lot of the same things, and she really cared about him. "I'm not ashamed of you at all!" Honestly, if anyone was going to be ashamed of anyone, he thought she should be ashamed of him, the socially awkward astrophysicist who hadn't been able to speak to women until her.

"Then can I meet them?" Danielle asked.

"Of course,"

"When?"

Raj thought about this. "Well, I'll have to give Sheldon notice," He said, and Danielle raised an eyebrow in confusion. "If I don't give him a heads up he'll freak out at an added guest and start spazzing and no one wants to see that." He explained.

"I ummm, can't wait to meet them?" They both laughed and then kissed. Danielle smiled. Hopefully, this would be easier than she thought. Now, all she had to do was get him to talk to her…

When I found out they had miscarriage necklaces, I knew I had to include it. Howard does give Bernadette a lot of jewelry after all (the heart locket, after she has dinners with his mom, and of course the star).

Also, really the same couple people have been reviewing, and it would be nice to hear from somebody else. If you review, I'll give you virtual cookies! Do you like chocolate chip? And it's your last chance to guess who you think Danielle has that surprising connection to (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check the summary).
