Author's Note: This is a rewrite of my first Fanfic. It has the exact same plot, with major tweaking almost everywhere. I have added some extra parts to make it more interesting, but the storyline is exactly the same, as not to throw anyone off tracks, because I have written a sequel to this. I was never too happy with the quality of the writing in the old version, so I have been thinking of deleting that one, but I need to know if you would like to see this rewrite, otherwise, I won't continue.

The dates are the same, I've just made many adjustments to it, so it's more realistic...

I also want to mention that in my sequel of this story, "Rainbow - The journey to Riley" Howard and Bernadette's son is named Ryder, as to go along with the first writing of this story. Rather than changing the sequel and confusing you, I'm changing it to Michael here.

Enjoy :D (Hopefully, you will because of the massive quality improvement!)

Chapter 1: March

I shouted up to Leonard from the living room, hoping he would pause his halo championship with the rest of the guys. I called him again and again, but yet he still wouldn't come out of that damn gaming world, which granted I don't entirely get. I walked upstairs and into his man-cave to find him with the bulkiest black headphones I had ever seen over his head, and him almost strangling the controller with the death grip he had on it. I smiled as I realized how cute he was when he was so engrossed with his games like that. I coughed loudly and grabbed his attention. He paused the game, which then effected everyone else and caused them to complain. He pulled his headphones off his head and placed them down on the bookshelf that was next to him, that was full of his x-box games. Like he would use it for actual books!

"Hey, honey. What's up?" He asked, looking over and smiling.

"Can you come with me quickly?" I wondered, slightly pointing out the door.

"I'm kinda in the middle of something." He sighed.

"Leonard..." I replied kind of in a whining way, which I knew he couldn't resist.

Leonard sighed as I felt a sense of pride that I had won the 'argument'. He picked up the headset and quickly spoke down, alerting that he was leaving in for a second. When he placed the headset down again, The voices of Raj, Howard, and Sheldon could all be heard loudly as they were all complaining down their microphones.

"Hey, shut up!" I shouted, which actually worked, as I didn't hear them disapproving anymore.

He walked out of the room and began making his way to the stairs. I started to follow him, but I stopped in my tracks. He looked strangely at me as I just began smiling.

"Penny, you okay?" Leonard wondered as I was considering whether to tell him downstairs or blurt it out now.

Without properly thinking it through, I blurted it out. "I'm pregnant!" I squealed.

Leonard looked over at me with a look of pure delight. His face drew a large smile, but he remained where he was stood. "Like pregnant, pregnant?"

I quickly nodded. "Like doctor confirmed."

Leonard began smiling even more. He approached me quite quickly and pressed his lips up against mine. They stayed like that for a moment, before he broke it off. We both couldn't stop smiling at each other. He took and step back, as we were both beaming.

"I can't wait to tell the guys!" He said, breaking the mood and immediately making me worry.

"No, you can't." I butted in, making him look confused. "Not until we get the all-clear from the doctor. I don't want a repeat of last time."

Leonard nodded, agreeing with me. Last time, Leonard had told his friends as soon as he finished the phone call, and I had told Amy and Bernadette later that night. It had been a long time coming for us, and we were both ecstatic. We had, then, been trying for a baby since our friend's second wedding anniversary, and we found out about that baby incredibly close to their third. Then, when we went in for our twelve-week appointment, we found out that the baby didn't have a heartbeat, and that we had to miscarry. We later found out that it was a boy. It took some courage, but two months later we decided to start trying again, and we had finally gotten the positive test we had been hoping for.

"I love you, Penny." He smiled, placing his hands on my arms.

"I love you too," I responded.

"And you know what?" He asked.

I shook my head in response, as I had no idea what he was about to say.

He moved his hands to my stomach and smiled. "I love this baby already."

"Me too."

We kissed again, and Leonard kept his hands on my belly. This could be our chance to be a family, and we were both really looking forward to it.

Leonard and I walked into the restaurant to meet up with our friends. We both smiled over at them, who were already seated at the table and, most of them were patiently waiting for us. We quickly sat at the table, before Leonard apologized for being late.

Howard and Bernadette accepted the apology, and Amy didn't say anything, along with Halley and Micheal. Sheldon complained, which was no surprise toward me, and Raj had hardly noticed that we were there.

"Isn't it nice for all of us to get out?" Bernadette asked the overly large table, whilst looking over her menu.

"Who wants a drink?" Raj asked, smiling over the entire table.

"I'm alright." I quickly replied.

Everyone at the table, including Sheldon, looked up. I quickly looked around the table, before looking suspiciously down at my menu.

"Why not? You're the queen of alcohol." Bernadette joked.

"Well, I'm driving." I lied. "Leonard doesn't like driving in the dark."

Leonard quickly nodded, agreeing with the lie that I had quickly thought of. The rest of the table, apart from Halley and Micheal, who both were occupied with the coloring sheet they were given, all nodded, agreeing with us too, and thinking it was pretty believable.

"Great Lie." Leonard complimented, leaning in towards me.

"It's not the first time I've said it." I blurted, not thinking about my answer very carefully.

"What?" He wondered.

"Nothing. Not important."

For the first time, we had our first actual appointment. I had seen a doctor at the beginning of the month, which confirmed the pregnancy. But now Leonard was coming with me, it suddenly felt real. And today was actually the day that we would hear the heartbeat for the first time. In my opinion, that was the most important thing, only because I didn't really care about the remainder of the crap they have to perform.

I had a few mild problems on the way there, but luckily Leonard was okay with it. He'd usually flip out, but he didn't this time, which I think helped me through it. So after six stops on the side of the road, we had finally arrived.

The doctor did a few tests and estimated the possible due date for the baby. He then said they had to do a special kind of ultrasound to get better results, and I won't even go into much detail. A few moments later, the room was still silent, but the doctor grabbed both mine and Leonard's attention to the screen. On the very left, just hidden away in the corner, was a black circle that was the shape of a grape. Inside, a little grey object that just about resembled a baby.

"There it is. Just tucked away." The doctor smiled, pointing to it. He moved his hand to the center of the grey form of the baby. "And there, is the heartbeat."

After a few moments, both Leonard and I hadn't taken our eyes off the screen. I grabbed his hand and cupped it in mine. He raised my hand and kissed the end of my ring finger, as he both were still staring at the screen.

"Nice job, daddy," I said, choking up a little.

"You too, mommy," Leonard responded.

Just hearing that kinda freaked me out. But in a good way.

After the appointment had finished, we both walked out to the car, hand in hand. We both sat down in the car almost simultaneously, and he asked to see the picture again. I handed him the printed ultrasound and he sat there for a moment, just smiling down at the picture. But granted, after he handed it back to me and began driving, I looked down at it all the way home. It was actually happening, Leonard and I were having a baby, and even though we were still to get the all clear, I had a really good feeling about it already.

Please Review and tell me if you would like to continue writing the story. If not, I'll just keep the old version, but I think this new version will be more interesting. Please let me know!
