A/N I know I should be working on the updates for my other two stories but this came to me and I always wanted to add another part to this. It's kind of sad sorry, and it takes place a several months after the first part.

This probably isn't my best work, but I may go back later and fix it up. I just wanted to get this up for you all today. I still hope you all enjoy!

She always liked it when he clung to her in his sleep. He no longer slept like a vampire, especially now that she spent most of her nights with him. She was always happy to wake up with him wrapped around her.

There wasn't anything happy about it now. Sheldon wasn't sleeping, the dampness on her chest and the quite sniffling evident of that. All she could do was run her fingers through his hair gently, hoping that it soothed him a little.

They lay together in the room they shared at his mother's house. They were still in the same clothes they had worn earlier that day. She was still in her black dress and Sheldon still wore the black dress pants and white undershirt; he had taken the jacket off as soon as they had returned from the cemetery.

She hadn't had enough time to shed her clothes before Sheldon had clung to her and began sobbing.

She was supposed to be alive now. She wasn't supposed to go for another three weeks. She was supposed to see her Moonpie get married.

5 ½ Months Earlier

She said yes. Of course she did! She was in love with this man, her best friend.

He had proposed to her in the laundry room of all places, even kneeled on the ground. She could recall numerous times when he complained about the cleanliness of said floor.

When she asked about this, he had just smirked and said that he hadn't planned to stay down there for long.

It was true, she had said yes right away.

She had rushed up the stairs then, well after they shared a long kiss, claiming she had to call her mother and tell her the news. She knew that she would be so proud of her. She was going to marry a doctor!

He had just finished dialing his mother's number when Penny walked through the door all smiles. He couldn't help but smile back. Nothing could make him anymore happier right now, not even winning the Nobel Prize.

His Penny had agreed to spend the rest of her life with him.

"Hello?" His mother answered.

"Hey, mom, it's Sheldon."

"Shelly! What a coincidence! I was just about to call you." Her tone had a hint of false cheerfulness, but he would deal with that later.

"Did Missy claim that she had some kind of twin intuition?" He rolled his eyes. What hokum.

"What? No. Now you go on and tell me why you called. I have some news of my own to share."

"All right." He paused, glancing at Penny, who was now sitting on the couch. "Penny said yes."

He had to hold the phone away from his ear when she shrieked. Penny winced too when she heard it.

"My baby's getting married!" She cried excitedly. "Wait until I tell your sister, she's gonna be so excited for you! And me and Penny have to start planning' right away. Of course, it'll have to be in a church. I'll invite my prayer group, they've been praying for you for years you know, and-"

"Mom!" He interrupted. "You said you had some news to tell me as well?"

"Oh." Her tone drastically changed. It had been so happy before, now it was sad. "You may want to take a seat Shelly."

"Okay." He obeyed and took a seat next to Penny. "I'm sitting down."

Mary sighed. "It's your Meemaw."

Penny watched his face as he talked to his mother on the couch. Instantly she became alarmed when his face went paler than it usually was and his hand went slack, causing the phone to clatter to the floor. It thankfully remained in one piece, but she wasn't worried about that.

She was only concerned about the man, her fiancé, who was sitting next to her.

However, he didn't seem to know that she was there and without another word, he stood up from the couch and made his way to his room.

Her first instinct was to go after to him, but she knew he probably wanted to be alone. She also wanted to know what had made him so upset.

She picked up the phone. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper, it's Penny. What's going on?"

"Oh, darlin', I'm so sorry to ruin the happy news of your engagement but I figured Shelly would want to know as soon as possible." She sounded close to tears.

"Know what?"

"Well, today me and his Meemaw went to the doctor for her annual checkup." Sheldon wasn't the only one. "Turns out she has cancer. It has multiplied so quickly that the doctor said that even with Chemotherapy she would only have six months left."

"What?" Tears instantly were in her eyes.

"I'm afraid it's true, dear. Now, why don't you talk to Shelly and we'll keep in touch. We do have a wedding to plan!"

She tried to smile. "We do."

He hadn't wanted to talk to her and she understood that. To tell the truth, she wanted to be alone as well. So she found herself lying in her own bed, it felt weird without Sheldon there beside her. They so rarely slept alone these days.

He needed his time to think about his Meemaw and when he was ready to talk to her, she would be there for him. They could cry together if he wanted.

Growing up she didn't have a grandmotherly figure in her life, both having died when she was only a baby, and now she felt like she would finally have one. Now, she was going to be ripped from her as well.

It wasn't fair.

He knocked on her door the next day and declared that he was going to go to Texas and visit his Meemaw.

"Will you come with me, Penny?"

She smiled. "Of course, honey. You came with me when my dad was sick. Plus, we're engaged now we're always going to be there with and for each other. No matter what."

He could only nod as he grabbed her left hand, thumb running over the piece of jewelry on her ring finger.

When they arrived at Meemaw's house in Texas, the woman didn't look like she had cancer. Penny knew though, that that was going to change in the months to come and that was going to be a very difficult road for her and Sheldon to go down.

They would go down together.

Meemaw wasn't a particular tall woman, about a inch shorter than Penny and her hair still had most of it's color; which was a dark brown just like Sheldon's.

She had been so happy to hear that her Moonpie was getting married and Penny decided right there that she and Sheldon were going to get married sometime in the next six months.

Meemaw was going to see her Moonpie get hitched, no matter what!

It wasn't to be, though. Just three weeks before the wedding Meemaw became really sick and slipped away quietly in the night.

Sheldon and Penny were on the next plane to Texas for the funeral.

Day of the funeral

Sheldon had been strong at her funeral. He hadn't let one tear slip past his eye, while Penny became a blubbering mess beside him. She had tried to hold the tears in but seeing how well Sheldon was keeping it together made her come undone.

She loved him so much in that moment.

That night, though, he had cried on her chest until he fell asleep.

Wedding Day( Six Months after Sheldon proposed)

It was perfect; everything was so perfect. Except for the empty seat in the front of the church that had been reserved for Meemaw.

Before Sheldon kissed her, she watched as a light showed through one of the stain glass windows and fell right on Meemaw's seat.

She knew that Meemaw was watching her Moonpie get married after all.

A/N What did you all think? Too sad? Not sad enough? Just right? I would love to hear from you all!
