Epilogue

Penny and Sheldon stepped into Leonard and Leslie's room and looked at the other couples. Once again they were in Vegas. They had decided to make another trip. Missy had flown in and was spending the weekend watching her 10 month old nephews so they could make the trip.

Penny gave Sheldon's hand a light squeeze and she cleared her throat. "Okay, two years ago the five of us came here and had a good time. Saturday night, especially."

"Still don't remember much about that night," Howard grinned.

"We do," Sheldon said. "Penny and I remember it all. We know you guys think we should get married, especially now that we're parents, and we keep telling you there's no need. Well, that's because we're already married. Today is our 2nd anniversary."

Eight jaws dropped and Penny smiled. "See, we got drunk, and Sheldon kissed me. He said we were such great friends we should get married."

He grinned down at her. "We were drunk enough that it seemed like a good suggestion. I was already in love with Penny, and the champagne lowered my shields. So, we went down the street to the Chapel of Love and got married."

Penny giggled. "The guy was dressed as Elvis. Our witnesses were a little old lady who was sitting in the third row knitting and two burlesque dancers we ran into on the street."

Leonard was stunned. "Why didn't you guys say anything?"

Sheldon shrugged. "When we sobered up, we fought about it. We didn't want anyone to know because Penny wanted to get it annulled. Only, I couldn't do it. Penny thought I had taken care of it, but I never did. I love her."

Penny leaned her head against his shoulder. "To be honest, I never asked him about it again. I think I didn't really want to get it annulled. Then we began dating, and well, it just seemed right that we already were married. We almost told you guys several times but, well, we kind of felt like it was our own special thing. That if we shared the news, we'd mess up. Then Sheldon suggested we wait and do it now. And that we ask you to go with us back to that chapel so we can renew our vows with all of you beside us."

Leonard shook his head with a grin. "I can't believe you two hid this for 2 years. What next? Going to tell us you secretly have more than the two kids?"

Sheldon shook his head. "No. That was our only secret."

"Ummm," Penny nibbled her lower lip. "Actually…." She turned to Sheldon and took his hands in hers. She placed them on her stomach and winked.

Sheldon looked at her stomach and back up at her. "Another baby?"

Penny nodded. "And I had Dr. Yeats double check. Only one this time."

Sheldon grinned and swung her up into his arms. "I love you, my little minx" he whispered into her hair.

Penny laughed as their friends crowded around to congratulate them. "Love you too, Dr. BMG."
