Here is a short and sweet story of Leonard and Penny. Kinda got the idea from Sophie the Shipper's latest chapter on The Compilation. Plus TBBT need to fix Penny's idea having kids because well they can not do that to us fans after twelve years of waiting. So here is my take on it.
Fall 2018
"What if we didn't have kids?" She asked yet told her husband.
January 2019
"Um Leonard, you remember when I told you I didn't want kids? Well we kinda accidentally got pregnant..."
August 2019
"Leonard, I'm terrified becoming a mother. That is why I never wanted a child... But I think about it without you I could never have done this whole thing on my own. I love you."
"I can't believe we have a son...A little Leonard. Emmett Wyatt Hofstadter. Do you really think he will be smart and beautiful?"
Christmas 2022
"Leonard... Is that your grandmother's piano playing?"
"Oh my gosh Leonard we have a music prodigy! Three years old and he plays by ear..."
August 2037
Penny sat there with her husband of twenty-two years as her eighteen year old son plays the piano. It is his last time in their house for awhile as he leaves for college in a few hours. He was accepted into Julliard. Emmett was smart and beautiful. He might have not wanted to be a scientist like his father but loved and lived for music. He began playing the piano at three years old just after hearing a song. He could read music notes the year after that. Piano lessons shortly followed after. Wrote and composed his first peice at ten years old. Penny and Leonard made sure they attended every recital with their friends in toe.
He wants to become a composer for Broadway. So Penny and Leonard do everything possible for their son's dreams come true. But they also make sure he has a fantastic childhood. During holidays Emmett plays the piano for his parents and family friends.
Penny lays her head on Leonard's shoulder feeling emotional. He husband is already crying. Emmett plays The Imperial March for his dad as Penny could not help but smile that her men share that bond of Star Wars. She couldn't help but think how resentful she would have felt if she never would have Emmett. She could think now how life would be without her son. She gave Leonard that one child and how angry she felt finding out she was actually pregnant. Then felt terrified as she was about to give birth to him. Then that feeling of love she had never felt before. She would not be sitting here now about to say goodbye to her son for the first time. New York and three months seemed so far away from now. In a long time Penny felt a bittersweet happiness and was glad Leonard was by her side.
