Shamy Baby - Chapter 7

Amy returned from the bathroom looking very flushed.

"Well?" Sheldon asked her, getting up and taking her hands in his more tenderly than anyone had ever seen him before. "Actually, don't tell me."

"What?" Penny shrieked.

"Hear me out," Sheldon said. "Amy, come and sit down on the sofa. Penny, Bernadette, go away."

"But this is my apartment!" Penny yelled, then suddenly became unsure of herself, she turned to Bernadette, "This is my apartment, right?"

Bernadette put her very cutesy little head on one side in a sympathetic way, checking in the wall mirror to ensure maximum cutey-pie-ness, and nodded. Then she took Penny's hand and led her, skipping like an elf, across the hall to Sheldon and Leonard's apartment.

"Hello boys!" Bernadette announced.

"Hey Bernadette and Penny!" chorused Leonard, Howard, Raj, Stuart and, for some reason, possibly because he was in town and didn't have anything else to do, some has been actor from Star Trek.

"Hey, where's Amy?" Raj asked.

"Oh, she's just about to reveal the results of a pregnancy test to Sheldon, and they insisted on some privacy." Penny told him. "Hey Leonard, get me a beer!"

"In a minute, first, we need to see what's going on your apartment!" Leonard jumped off the sofa, which was difficult for him as his legs barely touched the floor.

"We can't go in there." Bernadette explained, her high pitched voice getting dangerously close to breaking glass. "They've locked the door."

"Oh, we can just switch on the webcam I installed," Leonard shrugged.

"You installed a webcam in my apartment!" Penny cried. "Wow! You are so smart. I knew there was some reason I agreed to marry you."

Leonard switched on his laptop and ran it through the TV so that everyone could watch. "We can also have subtitles, but only in Spanish." He offered.

"Quiet!" everyone else yelled, as the camera started relaying the scene from Penny's apartment and they all settled down on the sofa with an enormous bucket of popcorn.
