Penny stood outside the church, taking deep breaths when her dad walked out and pulled out a cigarette.
"Baby how you feeling?" Wyatt asked, leaving out a puff of smoke.
"Just afraid I might trip up" She gave an awkward attempt at a laugh.
"If you trip up that boy's gonna pick you up before you can say ouch, I may not seem like I'm too fond of him but he seems like a good boy and you seem to love his whackadoodlness as you call it" He smiled, enveloping his daughter in a hug after quenching his cigarette.
"Thank you daddy, for everything" She whispered into his neck, choking back a sob.
"You aint got no reason to be thanking me baby" He said, looking down at his little girl, wiping a tear from her cheek.
"No I do, you always stuck by me, even left mom because of the way she treated me because of a mistake I made, you gave up everything so you could be there for me when I needed you"
"I wouldn't change it for the world darling, your momma made a bad decision when she turned her back on you and I sure as hell hope she regrets it for the rest of her life, slugger you did good, got yourself a man that loves you for the amazing lady you are, a beautiful home and a baby that's gonna be just as beautiful as you on the way, if anything I need to be thanking you for making me the proudest man in the world"
"I love you daddy" She whispered, him giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too baby, now c'mon gotta get you up that aisle, dry those eyes darling" He said, wiping her eyes and smiling softly at her.
"Here she comes Shelly" George said, nudging Sheldon. Sheldon took in a deep breath and beamed at the beautiful woman walking towards him.
"Look after my little girl" Wyatt said, patting Sheldon on the back after giving Penny a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks dad" She whispered, he shot her a smile and took his seat in the front row. Sheldon smiled at her nervously and Penny slipped her hand into his, giving it a little squeeze to reassure him. The priest seemed like a distant mumble to the couple as they stood, eyes locked and smiling at eachother.
"Sheldon Lee Cooper repeat after me" The priest said, bringing Sheldon back to reality.
"I, Sheldon Lee Cooper, take you, Penelope Rosalie Queen, to be my beloved wife, to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life." Sheldon repeated sliding the wedding band onto her finger. Penny felt another tear roll down her cheek.
"Now Penelope Rosalie Queen repeat after me"
"I, Penelope Rosalie Queen, take you, Sheldon Lee Cooper, to be my beloved husband, to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life." She smiled up at him, sliding the ring onto his slender finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" The priest smiled, Sheldon wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss and the church erupted in applause.
"Dr. and Mrs Cooper, I like it" Penny whispered, Sheldon smiled and the two walked down the aisle, Sheldon's arm around her shoulder and her arm wrapped around his waist.
"Now would the happy couple get on up here for their first dance" The dj boomed, Penny pulled him up off his seat and away from his dessert into the middle of the dance floor.
Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in
Lie down with me
Hold me in your arms
Sheldon placed one hand on her waist and slid his other hand into hers.
Your heart's against my chest
Lips pressed to my neck
I've fallen for your eyes
But they don't know me yet
And the feeling I forget
I'm in love now
"It's completely gone" He said, pressing his lips to hers.
"What is honey?" She asked, resting her head on his chest as they swayed.
"My homo novus status, gone and it's all your fault and I thank you for it" He rested his chin on her head.
"You're welcome" She smiled.
"You look beautiful Penny"
"Thank you sweetie, you're looking pretty good in that suit if I say so myself" She smiled up at him before pulling him down for a kiss.
"Although I must say I'm looking forward to seeing that dress on the floor later on" He winked at her cheekily, wrapping both arms around her waist
"Mmm you and me both Moon Pie" Penny whispered, resting her hands on his shoulders. The song finished and the rest of the guests made their way towards the dance floor for a few more songs until the dj asked them to clear the dance floor again for the father daughter dance.
"C'mere slugger" Wyatt said.
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.
"You know you have to come up for christmas every year from now on daddy" Penny said, resting her head on her daddy's chest.
"You couldn't keep me away if you tried baby"
You're beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
Penny started crying and Wyatt wrapped his arms around her. "Don't cry honey" He soothed. He held his daughter close for the rest of the song and they joked about old memories from back home in Omaha.
"Sheldooooon" Penny teased, tugging him into the bridal suite by his shirt, kicking the door shut behind her.
"Mrs Cooper" Sheldon whispered, before pulling her flush against him and fusing their lips together.
"Christ I didn't think sex could be that good" Penny panted, resting her head on his chest after round five.
"I must agree with you" Sheldon wrapped an arm around her, kissing her forehead.
"I'm glad you called round that night honey" Penny said, her breathing evening out.
"Which night?" Sheldon asked, tracing shapes on her silky skin.
"The night you kissed me for the first time"
"As am I Penny, as am I. Going over to your apartment that night was the best thing I have ever done"
"What about proving string theory? Does that not trump that night?"
"Penny of course it doesn't, if I didn't go over that night where would we be? We wouldn't be married right now, we wouldn't be having a child together and Mee Maw wouldn't have trusted you with her moon pie recipe" He winked and Penny laughed, burying her head in the crook of his neck.
"So what would you think about Alison for a girl or maybe Noah for a boy?" Penny asked, draping her leg across his body.
"I wouldn't be opposed to those names and my mother would be ecstatic that you chose Noah because of his role in biblical stories that she read to me as a young boy"
"Can you believe it though? We're going to be parents!"
"It's going to be a very interesting endeavor and extremely rewarding and I couldn't imagine going on such an adventure with anyone else"
There was a sudden knock on the door, Penny let out a groan and crawled out of bed, grabbing a robe from the bathroom and answering the door.
"Amy?" Penny stared at her in shock.
"I have some things that I would like to say, may I come in?"
"Uhm Sheldon you might want to put something on, we have company" Penny reluctantly opened the door and Amy stepped in, sitting down on one of the arm chairs.
"Amy may I ask why you're here?" Sheldon said after emerging from the bathroom in a robe.
"I have come here to say my piece"
"Amy it's been nearly six months, why now?" Penny asked, sitting cross legged on the bed.
"Well it has come to my attention that you are in fact expecting Sheldon's baby and that you two are, as of last night married"
"Amy please just get to the point" Sheldon sighed.
"I would like to apologise, I was being very irrational and hadn't exactly thought everything through when I called you during your vacation in Paris, I would also like to congratulate you on conceiving Penny and Sheldon I would like to apologise for keeping you from Penny" Penny looked gobsmacked and just sat there wide eyed and speechless, Sheldon just had a blank expression on his face and was looking Amy in the eye.
"Now I have said all that I came to say, I must leave for I have to visit a dear friend out in Houston, I wish you both the best of luck" She gave them an awkward smile and closed the door behind her.
A/N: Okay I'm sorry that their wedding night wasn't a bit more erotic I just don't think my smut writing capabilities are adequate enough but I hope you liked the chapter and I would love to get your thoughts on Amy's apology and everything else, next chapter we're heading off to Sweden! Thank you to you all for being so patient with me I know I'm terrible when it comes to updating this. The song from Penny and Sheldon's first dance is Kiss Me- Ed Sheeran and Penny and Wyatt's father daughter dance was My Little Girl-Tim Mcgraw
