A/N - Thank you for all the lovely things you guys have taken the time to say. I heart you all. This is the next to last chapter. Sadface.

They were just about to get to the front of the line at the check-in when Amy found them. All Penny wanted was to get Sheldon naked and show him how much she missed him over the last month, but she supposed it was a good thing they got caught by Amy. The sex would have been amazing, but the freak-out afterwards when Sheldon didn't have his toothbrush or pajamas would probably not have been worth it.

"Hello, outlaws. I'm very happy you've mended your relationship and I know I'm probably interrupting the inevitable make-up coitus that you were about to indulge in, but it's time for pictures. We need you two. You can have plenty of deviant sex when you get home."

Sheldon and Penny looked at each other and shrugged. As they walked behind Amy like criminals, Sheldon took Penny's hand like it was the most natural thing in the world. She grinned up at him (she was going to have to get a neck brace if this relationship was going long-term), so very happy to be back by his side, so glad the games were over and they made it through the storm, not entirely unscathed but ready to rise up to the challenge of their differences.

So many pictures. Just the bridesmaids, just the groomsmen, everybody now, now just the happily married couple. With every picture, Penny's smile was big and bright and real, because damn it, she was happy. And soon this would all be over and she and Sheldon would spend hours in her bedroom and she couldn't wait. To feel his lips on hers. To touch him everywhere; all those body parts she missed. To feel him inside her again.

When Penny and Sheldon were in a picture together, he was always touching her. And as soon as the bulb in the camera went off, he'd whisper something in her ear. Sometimes dirty. Sometimes sweet. She'd giggle and everyone would turn around and look at them and smile because it was young love and they were so cute and they had to quit being so adorable because this was Howard and Bernadette's day and Sheldon and Penny were starting to outshine them on the cuteness scale.

Finally every combination of pictures had been taken and it was time for this wedding to end. Penny was fascinated by what a complete mess she was when this wedding started and how happy she was by the end of it. Maybe that wasn't exactly healthy. Maybe she shouldn't have looked at Sheldon like he was the answer to all her problems. But on that particular day, that's how she felt. And it was okay, because he felt the same way.

Penny gave Bernadette a big hug and said, "The wedding was beautiful and you are a stunning bride. I am so happy for you!" Even though Penny had grown somewhat fond of Howard, she was still rather confused by why anyone, especially one of her closest friends, wanted to marry him. But she was still happy for the two of them because they were convinced they found everlasting love. And that, Penny had just realized, was really, really hard.

"Thank you, Penny. And I'm so happy you and Sheldon made up. I always thought from the beginning that you two were meant to be."

"Really? That is so sweet of you. Now, listen, I hope you two kids have fun tonight. I know your mother never gave you the talk, so if you have any questions..."

"Oh, hush. And if anyone needs the talk, it's you and Sheldon about an hour from now."

They both giggled. One last hug, and Bernadette was swept away by her family for more congratulations. Amy took Penny and Sheldon and Leonard and Veronica home, and because of the lack of space in Amy's tiny car, Penny had to sit on Sheldon's lap. Which neither of them minded. And Penny got a free preview of what was happening in Sheldon's pants, and she couldn't wait to get him alone.

Penny and Sheldon both wanted the inevitable ravaging of each other to start as soon as possible, but they retreated to their separate apartments first to take a shower and change and eat and take a breather for a few minutes. By the time Sheldon knocked on Penny's door, she was almost climbing up the walls in anticipation. 43 days was a long time to go without the touch of the man she loved. She knew, because she spent almost the entirety of those 43 days thinking about it and missing it.

She opened the door on the second knock just to throw him off and grabbed his hand and led him into her bedroom. Sheldon didn't protest. It was pretty much agreed and unspoken that they needed to get this part over with, and soon. Not that she didn't want kisses and foreplay and touching and talking, but there would be plenty of time for that. It was Saturday night. Neither of them had anywhere to be until Monday morning.

They undressed each other quickly and collapsed on the bed in a pile of limbs and nakedness. Penny desperately wanted to take charge; the big 'ol five and all, but she wanted to see what Sheldon would do when he was really, really horny.

Apparently, Sheldon was proactive when he was really, really horny. He was on top of her in seconds. Any kind of insecurity or hesitance he might have had from the beginning was non-existent now. This Sheldon was confident and intense and sort of dangerous, and Penny was head over heels in love with him. Sometimes she was overwhelmed by his passion for her. And intrigued by the fact that everything he did in bed was for her. He'd never been with anybody else; never wanted to be with anyone else. Every move he made was because he knew Penny wanted it that way. She found this to be beautiful and poetic and it turned her on and she just wanted to scream and/or cry with the crazy emotions of it all. She was so fucked. Literally.

He slid a finger inside and she smiled at him in a hungry, ready kind of way. Penny knew she was wet. And Sheldon liked it when she was wet for him. So without any kind of discussion, which was actually kind of unusual for him, he slid into her roughly and she bit her lip to keep from screaming. Penny was the kind of girl that made everyone in the vicinity of her bedroom need noise canceling headphones. A fact Sheldon knew all too well, from both sides of the equation.

They both needed this. They needed the connection and the pace and the rhythm and the orgasms, of which Penny had many. Penny knew he needed her to touch his face and bite his nipple and grab his ass and pull him deeper into her. And Sheldon knew Penny needed him to play with her clit a little while he was on top, and she needed her collarbone kissed, and she liked it when he pulled her hair and spanked her when he was in her from behind. All of these things happened in a matter of minutes, and they were lost in a sea of limbs and sweat and lips and tongues and hair and breasts and fingers. They needed it.

Afterwards, they lay intertwined, out of breath, laughing, whispering, kissing.

"Sheldon?"

"Penny?"

"I love you."

"I...love you, too. But you already knew that."

"Yes, I did. But it's nice to hear it again." Penny knew he wasn't going to be the type of guy who said it 15 times a day and she'd have to be okay with that. When he said it, it meant more. And besides, she knew he loved her. It was everywhere. In his touch, in his eyes, in his voice. She didn't need to hear it all the time to know it was true.

For a moment, she thought about how ironic it was that her relationship with Leonard ended because she couldn't say she loved him, and now her relationship with Sheldon almost ended because he couldn't say it to her. It was such a messy triangle of emotions but after it was all said and done, everybody ended up with who they were meant to be with from the start. Veronica was Leonard's academic, physical, and emotional equal. Penny was glad he found someone who could love him as much as he deserved. It just wasn't her. Thank goodness.

There was still so much more to say, but Penny was exhausted. She started this day thinking she'd never be happy again, and she ended it in bed next to the man she loved. It was a long, long day. So after Sheldon took a quick shower and brushed his teeth and got into his Saturday pajamas, they fell asleep, both satisfied, both happy, both terrified of what the future held for them next.

When Penny woke up from the best night of sleep she'd had in more than a month, the other side of the bed was empty. Sheldon was not the type to linger in bed after he woke up, so he could be anywhere by now. But she smelled bacon and was pretty sure she could pinpoint his exact location-her kitchen.

Penny put on some semblance of clothing so she didn't go into the kitchen naked and sat down on her stool, watching him cook. He looked so intense, like this was the most important thing he was going to accomplish all day.

"Good morning, Penny. I thought we'd start our day with a nice and tasty breakfast, and then we'll watch those Farscape DVDs you have hidden in the back of your closet. I'll retrieve my laptop and do some work, and perhaps you can do the same with the novel you have probably inevitably abandoned by now."

"I wouldn't say 'abandon', more like...'paused'. And although you are very bossy and have already made a schedule for our day without informing me, I think it sounds lovely." She was somewhat delighted that he had no plans to leave her apartment and they were going to spend the entire day together. It had been way too long since the last time that occurred.

The day went exactly as Sheldon planned. Although frequently they'd pause the DVD and talk and make out and eat ice cream. Penny really enjoyed the talking; Sheldon was actually a really fascinating person when he wasn't bragging or giving someone a lesson or whatever. They talked about what was happening on Game of Thrones and how much Penny was enjoying her new, legitimate acting career. He told her about his work; how hard he'd worked in the past month to show the people in charge how serious he was about the project.

"They know I'm on a mission now. And I've accomplished a great deal more in the past month than everyone else who has worked on this project over the years. Next month, supposing that you and I aren't ridden with the flu at the time, I'd like to finally take that trip to Switzerland with you. My research will be greatly enhanced by this field of study."

Penny grinned. "I would love to go with you! That will be so romantic."

"Penny, you know that I won't have time-" She silenced him with a kiss.

"Don't finish that sentence, sweetie. Because I know you won't have time, but we'll be there together, and that is romantic enough for me." Again. she couldn't help but think of the romantic trip she was supposed to take with Leonard to Switzerland. Well, she was going with the right person this time.

He nodded and the tiniest hint of a smile overcame his adorable face. "Come here, please."

They were sitting on her couch, as usual. She was practically sitting in his lap already, the couch was so small. "Come where?" She asked, trying to sound sexy and flirtatious at the same time.

"Here," he said simply. Sheldon liked Penny on his lap. And she liked to be on his lap. So she gently placed herself there, and his lips were instantly on hers like he had a snakebite and her mouth was the antidote. He released one of the straps from her top and took a few seconds to admire the curve of her breast. She moaned when he licked her nipple with determination; he was ready and he wanted her to be ready, too.

Before long, they were in the bedroom again (Sheldon refused to have sex on her couch). And this time, it was much slower. So much more foreplay. Penny had put her iPod on the speakers in her room and found that she kind of dug making out with him while Radiohead was playing in the background. It made the situation that much more intense.

Sheldon took his time. He just rearranged her shorts and cami instead of taking them off. He wanted to explore every inch of exposed skin, and this was making Penny crazy. Bat shit insane crazy. Especially when he pulled aside her panties and stuck his tongue inside her in one quick move. She hadn't expected it and in return cried out loudly.

"Oh! Sheldon! Damn it, where did you learn that?"

"I know things," he said from between her thighs. "Now hush." And he continued, and he licked and sucked and his fingers were everywhere and he was gentle and not so gentle and it was the most indescribable pleasure she'd ever experienced.

After she'd exploded in this ridiculous symphony of orgasms, she pushed him down on the bed, and he didn't protest. Penny took his dick out and gave him an award-winning blowjob. Her lack of a gag reflex that got her into so much trouble seemed to make Sheldon go a little bit bonkers. He made sounds Penny had never heard before and wasn't even sure could be registered on the decibel scale.

When she knew he was good and ready, Penny got on top of him and he gasped a little. He reached up to play with her breasts and together they breathed and moaned and groaned and it was good and great and amazing and mind-blowing. When they'd gotten enough of that, they shifted and Sheldon was on top. He stared into her eyes and his rhythm this time was slow and sweet. It was like he wanted to savor every moment.

"Penny?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Does this feel good?"

"Oh, my god, Sheldon, nothing has ever felt better in my entire life."

"I'm glad. Because it's important to me that you know...that you know how much this means to me. That you want me here. That you trust me this much. There's no one else in the world I'd ever feel comfortable doing this with, and...you should just know that."

"I do, honey. I know that. I feel the same way. Thank you for believing in me, and in us. Thank you for not giving up."

And then she shrieked because he was so deep inside her and fuck, it just felt so fucking good. He knew how to fill her up just right; make her scream, make her cry out in ecstasy.

And when it was over, she couldn't help but wonder...how could it always be like this? How could they possibly maintain this kind of passion? Wouldn't he get bored with her eventually? Wouldn't she ever just want to throttle him after he told her the origin of ketchup for the 15th time? Penny was pretty sure all of those things were going to happen, and many times. But now, for the first time, she realized that was okay. They were going to get through this together. They'd get through the orgasms and the long talks and the secret smiles just as well as they'd get through the fights about his spot, the right kind of soy sauce he wanted for his Thai food and his ridiculous pajama rotation. She'd deal with his late nights at work and he'd deal with her fascination regarding shoes and people named Kardashian. Why? Because they were stupid and in love and it was all going to be okay.

Meanwhile, on top of her, Sheldon was about to come. She knew that look on his face well. So she clenched herself around him and made him gasp and then it was over. For now. Because this was just the beginning, and it was all going to be okay.
