August 2019
Leonard could not believe any day now he was going to be a father. Penny was still terrified but he showed her every day was going to be okay. Plus she was loving the idea him waiting on her hand and foot. He remembered that day being his happiest yet the most distressed moment.
Back to New Years day 2019
"Pregnant? Really?" Leonard asked wondering if it was okay to show how happy he felt but nervous what Penny was feeling at the same time. "I mean I want to kiss you, but I know how you never wanted to become a mom..." He sat there just not knowing what to do at all except expressing his nervous tick of playing with his hands and avoided Penny's eye contact. But kept looking up at her waiting for her to say something.
"Yeah really. I know what I said Leonard...There is not much we can do now. We had one crazy night of fun drunken sex and it happened before your vasectomy... Yeah I might have on the pill at the time, but that one night forgetting protection got us here. You will get something that you always wanted. As for me..." Penny looked away so Leonard could not see her become emotional.
Leonard heard the change in her voice. He knew that sound when her voices changes. She was close to crying. Leonard slid closer and pulled his wife in his arms. He felt Penny lean into him. He rubbed his hands up and down her arms. "Hey...just tell me."
Penny looked into her worried husband's eyes and knew he needed to know. She knew when she opened up to him, things between them made things easier instead them fighting and Leonard just telling her they would be okay. "The idea just becoming a mom scares me...I just wanted it to be us. This kind of change worries me about our relationship. Just everything about being pregnant and the whole mother thing just terrifies me."
Leonard nodded, "Okay, thank you. Really... Penny, you have me to help you every step of the way. Right now how about we just take one day at a time. I know you did not want this but maybe this one baby will just make us better people. Whenever you have your doubts just come find me or call me. You also have Bernadette and Amy to talk to. Plus think of this as an advantage that I get to spoil you even more than I ever have." He couldn't help but give her a resurring smile.
"Okay..." Penny said trying not to hesitate. She just had to remember Leonard and her friends would be there when she felt anxious or uncertain. The rest of the day Leonard made sure Penny was relaxed by pampering her.
As the days, weeks, and months went on Leonard took care of his wife, even though there were days Penny felt like she was going to strangle him. But he would just smile at her and Penny would quickly change her mind.
Leonard turned his head over his shoulder as he was working at home the last few days, smiling at his wife from the memory. But also can not help it as Penny is napping on the couch. Leonard made sure he was always close by just in case she went into labor. Penny having false labor had both on edge, Leonard gave her space when she needed it. But one little constraction sent Penny into panic mode and Leonard would be by her side calming her down and talking to their unborn child.
As soon as he turned back tonhis laptop, Leonard shot straight up and ran to Penny's side. "Leonard my water broke!" She screamed from waking up from one hard contraction that sent her sitting up. Which led Leonard to her side.
Leonard made sure Penny was doing her breathing exercises as he grabbed their hospital bags. Then he slowly walked her out of the apartment, knocked on Sheldon and Amy's door and yelled, "Baby's coming!" Then helped Penny take the stairs easy as he held on hand as his other was on her lower back.
Leonard could not have made it to the hospital any sooner. As they set up Penny in the delivery room, the baby was already crowning. Leonard was glad he called his wife's midwife on the way as she met them there. Leonard thought his hand was going to break as Penny squeezed it as she yelled that everything hurt liked hell. Then turn to Leonard with a scowl on her face. "We are never going to have sex again!"
Leonard joked back, "Well see, just depends if you can keep your hands off all five foot and five inches of me."
Penny wanted to say something, but it was time to push. And in minutes, a little boy was laying on Penny's bare chest as tears were shed by both new parents. Penny clamed she thought she would never felt this kind of love in her life and was glad this was only a one time thing. Leonard confessed he was proud of his wife and their son was beautiful and would be smart.
