A/N- I hope this is a good story, i'm not expecting much from it.. but i hope you enjoy it? Please review?


They all sat in Sheldon's living room, eating thai food. All was normal, nothing in perculiar, when Penny's phone rang, she pulled it out of her pocket, and punched the green button.

"Hi, this is Penny" Penny answered, Sheldon shot her a glare, translating to "Take it outside" Penny groaned "Hang on"
Stepping into the hallway, she carried on talking.

"No! You can't! Are you serious?" Penny shouted, her words ehcoed into the living room, causing a few heads to turn. When she finally finished her talk, she stepped back into the room, only to be met with everyone stares.

"What?" Penny asked them, they continued to stare, when Leonard finally spoke.

"What on earth meant you had to shout down the phone?" He asked inquizativley, Sheldon had just removed his hands from cupping his ears, to block out the shouts.

"Shoes... erm, they said they had to delay my order, i won't be getting them for another week" She lied. Leonard gave her a puzzled look, including Amy and Bernadette.

"Typical" Sheldon mumbled, as the mel continued as normal.

It was half an hour later, everybody had stopped giving Penny weird looks, she glanced at her phone, before shooting up. "I have to go" She said quickly, before rushing out.

There it was, outside her door stood a little 5 year old girl, her short blonde hair and bright blue eyes, she was dressed in a summer dress, with little shoes that had velcro.

"Hi, so i guess you know what's going on? Well, you better come in" She lead the little girl inside, checking that the hallway was clear she closed the door.

"So what's your name sweetie?" She crouched down beside her daughter, who was spinning in her dress catching glances of the apartment.

"Shay." She replied quietly before fiddling with the bottom of her yellow dress.

"My name is Penny, I'm your mummy." Penny replied, she never thought she would say that sentence, ever.

"How come's i never saw you with daddy?"

"Me and your daddy didn't know eachother very well. Things happened." Penny replied as best as she could, she could not tell her own daughter that she was a mistake and that she couldn't look after her.

"Am i staying?" Shay asked quietly, Penny diverted her eyes around the room, she hadn't thought this through at all, it had happened all too quickly.

"I think so, i can try to call your daddy again if you'd like?"

"Yes please" Shay tip toed towards the sofa before clambering onto it, Penny stood there watching, the phone to her ear. No answer.

"I'll be right back, do not move!" Penny demanded, pointing to Shay making eye contact. She ran out the room, before knocking on Leonards door.


"Have you got a teddy bear?" She asked him.

"What?" A puzzled look painted his face, furrowing his eyebrows, he pushed his questions more. "What do you need a teddy bear for?"

"Leonard! Have you got one or not?" She crossed her arms, giving him a stern look.

"I haven't got one, but i do however have, a Doctor Who action figure!" He smiled broadly, he grabbed it from the shelf. "Will this do?"

"Yeah a doll will do fine" Penny took the figure, heading out the door.

"It's not a doll! Its an action-" The door closed, leaving Leonard standing there awkwardly.


"You can sleep with this tonight, Shay" Penny handed her the figure, before leading her to bed.

"I'll sleep in the living room, you stay here, no walking out" Penny locked the door and shut the windows. How on earth was she supposed to be a mother when she didn't even know that her daughter was staying 24 hours ago.

As the night fell, the silence filled. Leaving Penny with many thoughts, what did Shay like? How would she tell the others? Would Leonard hate her for having a child with her ex? Yes he would. That was a stupid thought to even consider. She could imagine telling them, everyone would be shocked, some supportive, Leonard would lose it. She couldn't risk their friendship.

A/N- Please review, any advice is appreciated :)
