A/N: sorry it's taken me so long to get this short chapter up. First I had writers block. Then I had no time which is why it's so short. I do however know its going to end so yay for that. I can't say that updates will be quick but hopefully once a month. Anyway on with the story. Oh and don't forget I type this on my phone so autocorrect likes to mess with words and grammar.

Haven't done one of these in awhile so why not. I do not own the Big Bang theory or their characters. Nor do I own the titanic the ship or the movie. Thank you.

Penny rose from her bed and looked in her vanity mirror. Her face was tear stained and her eyes red and puffy. What was she going to do? She didn't know. What she did know was that she wasn't going to think about it. Just live in the moment.

Christy had heard Penny rustling getting out of bed so she entered her chamber with Penny's morning tea. "Morn'in miss Penelope. I hope you've slept well."

Penny smiled at her faithful servant. Penny liked Christy in another life they might of even been friends. "Good morning. I've slept fairly well. As well as well can be. Are the others awake yet?"

Penny took a seat at the vanity instead of standing in front of it.

Christy nodded as she walked over to Penny to brush her hair. "Yes. They were all quiet this morning. Drank their tea and went off to wherever they go during the day. I thought I heard mr. Leonard say he was going to the gymnasium, but I could've heard wrong."

Penny laughed "Leonard in the gymnasium? He would only be there if he were lost."

Christy smiled at her mistresses joke. She was glad that Penelope was laughing and smiling she had been sad for so long. Ever since she had been seeing Sheldon she has become a new happier person. "What are your plans for today? Taking another walk?" Christy asked trying to make conversation. Christy liked the fact that Penelope didn't treat her like a servant but more as a friend. But she did know her place.

"I'm not sure really. I might just wander about." Penny shrugged her shoulders.

"Are you going to see Sheldon again?" Christy prayed that she hadn't crossed a line; luckily she didn't.

Penny sighed "I'm unsure. I'm unsure on a lot of things. I want to see him very much; but I'm afraid of the backlash it will most likely cause." She slumped her face in her hands.

Christy rubbed Penny's shoulders "Everything will work out. I'm sure whatever you decide will be the right answer. If I maybe so bold I haven't seen you this happy since before your patents died. So whatever is making you happy keep it up." She has noticed the way Penny held herself lately and Christy wanted it to continue.

"Thank you Christy. I don't know if you know how much your words mean to me. If only things were so simple." Penny shifted "I'm going to wear my light green dress today. Christy please get it for me."

Christy nodded. She wanted to say more but could tell Penelope was done talking for now.

Penny needed to clear her head. She knew that once she started walking her feet would lead her in the right direction.

"Ha! Checkmate again Raj" Sheldon beamed.

Raj frowned and said through his teeth "congrats again." He had lost all 6 games that they have played he wasn't in the mood to celebrate another win for Sheldon. "I've had enough of losing for one day I'm going back to our cabin. Good day Millie."

Millie didn't even acknowledge Raj as he left. "Way to go Sheldon. You're amazing" she said as she hugged Sheldon.

"Thank you Millie. Do you understand how I won?" Sheldon asked as he put his arm around her.

Millie looked down at her feet that were swinging off the chair. "No. I'm sorry Sheldon. I tried to follow but I got lost after the castle moved next to the horse. I just enjoy watching you"Millie shyly smiled.

"I enjoy you watching me as well. Just so you know it is quite alright that you don't understand the game of chess just by looking at it one time. I'm not a fool to think everyone learns that way just because its how I learn. The wining move is called the Stamma-mate. It is named after Philipp Stamma he was born in Syria in the year 1705. He traveled to England and France where he became a pioneer for the modern day chess we play today."

"You know so much about everything Sheldon. You're a genius" Millie stared at him in awe.

"I don't know everything. I still learn new things everyday just like you do during your lessons. I haven't asked you thus yet ; but what do you wish to be when your older?"

"I'm only 5 Sheldon" Millie laughed.

"My dearest Millie" Sheldon said as he tapped her nose. " you're never to young to know what you want to be. When I was your age I knew I wanted to be a scientist. Now things happen in life and in not a scientist yet, but someday I will be."

Millie took what he said in and began to think. Her face was so serious Sheldon couldn't help but chuckle to himself. After a moment she said " I want to be a doctor. I want to make sure no one gets sick ever again. And I'm going to give everyone I see a cookie. I went to the doctor once back home and he was a mean old man. I'm going to be nice" Millie smiled at her decision.

"I don't think I could've thought up a better choice for you. I will be looking forward to the day you will become a doctor. Dr. Millie has a nice ring to it" Sheldon smiled as he patted her head. She was laughing when something caught her eye at the door.

"Miss Penny!" She shouted as she ran over to Penny.

Sheldon looked over at Penny and his heart rate doubled.

"Hello Millie. How are you?" Penny asked as she gently squeezed Millie. She had only just met the girl yesterday and yet she was in love with her.

"I'm well. Sheldon and I are talking about what we're going to be when we get older. I'm going to be a doctor. What are you going to be?" Millie asked she led them to the table.

Penny glanced at Sheldon who shrugged. Penny thought being truthful was the best option" I'm not sure what I want to be or do." She meant what she said but was aware that Sheldon wouldn't pick up on the double meaning of the words. "However I can see you as a doctor" Penny said as they took their seats. Millie took the spot next to Sheldon again and Penny took Rajs seat.

"Sheldon won every game against his friend Raj. He's the greatest at everything" Millie kissed his cheek.

Sheldon's face had many emotions race across. Penny noticed that he blushed. Fought the urge to wipe away the kiss. And most of all she saw the big smile on his face. She saw how much he loved being loved for who he was and not what he could do for someone.

Penny smiled and nodded " I agree he is really great. "

Just then Millie's mother walked in "Millie play time is over. It's time for your lessons. Say goodbye to Mr. Sheldon and Miss Penny."

Millie stood and ran to her mother "bye Sheldon, Miss Penny." She waved as she walked away. Sheldon and penny could hear her tell her mother how she was going to be a doctor when she was older.

"It's strange how attached I've become to Millie even though I've only met her 3 days ago." Sheldon observed.

Penny laughed which had Sheldon confused. She quickly explained " I was just thinking the same thing. It's like she was destined to come into my life."

"I used to believe that whole destiny and fate thing hokum. But I'm starting to change my mind now that I've met you." Sheldon said matter of factly.

Penny smiled she knew her feet would lead her to where she was supposed to be. However in the back of her mind the thought of what Bernadette had said was floating. Then she thought of what Christy had said. What would her parents think? She can't drag an innocent man into her mess of a life no this had to be goodbye.

"Sheldon will you take a walk with me?"
