Continuation of Leonard and Penny: Home
Penny was in the walk in closet of her and Leonard's hotel room. It was big enough for a changing area with four length mirrors. Penny had to admit she would miss this walk in closet when they left. She stood in front of the mirrors looking over what she had choosed to wear tonight at the casino. It was a navy chevron mesh overlay maternity dress with long sleeves and a V-neckline.The dress came right above her knees as she wore a carmel faux leather, solid hued slide sandals with interlaced straps. Penny loved showing off her legs, one she knee she had great toned legs, and two she would catch Leonard looking at them. Penny smiled at the thought, placing her hands over her growing abdomen. She happened to look in ththe mirror to see Leonard coming up from behind her. She smiled at him as he now he put his hands over hers. As he laid his chin on her shoulder and looked at each through the mirror Penny couldn't help but think how handsome he looked in his black slacks and light blue dress shirt, even though she never minded what he wore. Suddenly earlier events from that afternoon ran through her head making her feel hesitate once again. Being an open book to her husband was something she was going to have to get use to.
Leonard noticed the sigh as the just stood there in silence enoying each others company. "Everything okay?" He asked as he frowned feeling worried.
"I'm not sure?" She told him as she began to lean into Leonard. "This whole pregnancy thing is taking its time getting use to. Usually when I feel insecure or vulnerable hide behind alcohol but now I can't and its hard for me to be so open and let you see me this was and needing you much. Seeing that woman flirt with you just for that second earlier made me want to go all Nebraskan on her ass. Does that make scense?" She let him know how she was feeling as she asked him.
Leonard smiled a cheeky grin with a kiss on the cheek. "Absolutely! I know I am not the best when a woman flirts with me but she had to clearly see my wedding band showing I am married man. A very happly married man at that. I would never leave you. On the other subject I will never know what you are going through right now. But I am sure any woman who has been pregnant can say it is not easy because you are not really your self. And Babe you needing me and being possessive makes me feel very manly." Leonard winked at her through the mirror.
Penny chuckled knowing Leonard might not be this manly man, but he made her feel loved and to her that was manly enough. Penny leaned back just enough to whisper in his ear. "Mmmm! I know one way to make you even feel more like a man..."
Penny continued to whisper making Leonard swallow hard and question his wife. "Really?" Hoping she was not joking. When she nodded, Leonard backed up just enough to watch his wife bend over the bench and enough room for him to lift up her dress above her waist. This was going to be very exciting as he loved how his wife was a very bold and adventures lover and loved trying new ideas when it came to their sex life.
Sometime later after they fixed their clothes and hair, they finally made it down to the casino. Leonard watched his wife play card and dice games. Leonard was not allowed to leave her side due to he was her lucky charm. He would just smile as he was amused by her happiness.
They headed back to their room close to one in the morning. Penny was still not tired, so Leonard suggested they sit by the pool side river. As they did, Penny was surprised Leonard put his feet in the water when she did. Penny could not but cuddle up next to him as he put one arm around her as his other hand was placed over her baby bump.
The rest of the trip included two amazing spa treatment as Leonard would catch up on his emails. One email Leonard told his wife, his dad and new wife would be in Pasadena next month for a lecture at CalTech and that Alfred could not wait to see them. Plus he was excited to know he had another grandchild on the way. Then there was pilates every morning which Leonard was not use to and had to lay down afterwards while Penny rubbed down his sore muscles. One afternoon they even teamed up with other tourist to go on a scavenger hunt and won a free dinner. They gave the beach another try which was mich better than the first day, but Penny ended up feeling bad because Leonard still ended up getting burnt the second to the last day they were there. Penny had to rub Aloe Vera on him which she tried her hardest not to but when he would scream "Ouch!" she would throw have giggle fit. But the sun burn did not stop Leonard from surprising his wife the last night they were there. She was curious though why he had taken Dramamine. Penny could not help herself but kiss her husband when she found out her surprise was a private yaht ride to a small island for a candle lit dinner. It was even more romantic when they descended from the yaht, the walkway was lit up with streams of lights. After they sat down and their own private waiter poured their sparkling grape juice, Penny noticed they even had their own private chef and a small instrumental band. "Well Hofstadter, I must say you are still my romance ninja!" She couldn't help but grin with a wink.
"I better be because trust me this was not cheap. But I would do anything for the woman I love and now carrying our baby." He smiled back but became worried quickly as Penny started to cry. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked as he quickly hurried to her, kneeling beside her taking her hand into his.
Penny shook her head as she wiped tears away with her free hand. "Noooo! You just made this night so perfect. And you being all romantic and all, my damn pregnancy hormones are getting the best of me again..." She then started crying harder.
Leonard hid his chuckle, but then helped his wife to her feet. "Come here." Is all he said to hug her, but Penny squeezed him a little too tight as she burried her face into the his neck. "Well now I know I have to step it up a notch next time I want to romance your ass off..." Once he said that he began to chuckle once more, but harder as Penny began to laugh from a memory that did not seem long ago.
By morning Penny refused to get up and pack. But once she did, Leonard almost had to drag her to the airport as she was refussing to leave. She rather stayed on the island than go back to reality. It was not the perfect vacation but the fact just being alone together with Leonard was enough for Penny.

Once they arrived home Penny admitted it was nice. As Leonard and Penny decided to unpack in the morning, Penny got comfortable on the couch as Leonard ordered take out. Not a second later, Amy and Sheldon busted through theor door knowing they were home. Penny was dragged off to 4B with Amy as Leonard stayed in 4A with Sheldon for them both tell them important news separately.
--
"Sheldon, you know Penny and I just got home." Leonard said from the counter, going ahead to make tea for his distress friend.
"What's your point?" Sheldon asked looking confused sitting on the stool.
"You're right, whatever your problem is, is more important." Leonard stated raising an eyebrow.
"Thank you, I knew you would come to your senses and focus on me." Sheldon said as he watched Leonard hand him the box of tea bags.
"So what's your problem buddy?" Leonard asked sounding censor.
While over at 4B, Penny is sitting on her old aqua sofa as Amy is pacing.
"Amy what is so important that you had to drag me away from my husband?" But that is when Amy dropped the big bomb shell. Penny was in shock actually that Amy and Sheldon were expecting. First off Pennt put her foot down saying they were not breastfeeding each others child. But Amy just needed someone else to talk about this instead of Sheldon since he was freaking out about this. So Penny listened as Amy had not told Bernadette yet since she was estimating she was five weeks along. "So you guys freaky after the Noble Prize Ceremony didn't you?" Penny asked with a smirk across her face.

Later that night, after they helped out their friends, Penny could not constraint on her gossip article, she looked over at her husband. He was reading some science magazine. She said as she gave up reading, and put her tablet aside. Leonard frowned as he heard Penny huff and put down his magazine and looked at his wife. "Let me guess, you can't concentrate because Amy and Sheldon are going to be parents?"
"Totally weird right?" Penny asked as she now laid on her side facing Leonard.
He nodded and tried to be serious, "Agreed. And you know our kid will more than likely be best friends with thier kid. Which means the Fowler-Coopers' will be in our lives for the rest of our lives..."
"Oh I know, but trust me that kid will need to be friends with a weirdly cool kid. Obviously that will be ours..." Penny said with a smile placing her hand over her bump.
"Well yeah, our kid is half you and half me. He or she will be very adnormal but I am okay with that since the Fowler-Cooper kid will be beyond the Universe from normal." Leonard was joking but Penny agreed with that both kids will be very loved. Somehow lead to the married couple into a very heated kiss and Leonard needing his inhaler much later.
