It was Thai takeout tonight and I wasn't in the mood for that. Raj got me McDonald's instead that we both ate. I wanted to eat two cheeseburgers, French fries, and a chocolate shake. I can't believe I'm going to wolf down two cheeseburgers, but what the baby wants, the baby gets. We were going to eat at Sheldon and Derek's apartment. Since Raj and Leonard were slowly getting along again, he's going to come too and he's going to bring...Alex.

I'm not sure how I'll feel about that. Seeing them together. Being in love with each other. I know they haven't said the L word to each other yet, but according to Leonard, they did sleep together. Now, I have to be around with this woman and act nice to her.

When it was time to eat, I walked to the apartment and helped myself inside. I noticed that Leonard and Alex still need to show up. Most of us were here already. Without thinking, I sat down on the couch feeling comfortable after walking for so much. I'm so glad the elevator's about done to being fixed. I'm starting to waddle like a penguin and I hate it. I feel so exhausted from doing simple tasks.

"You're in my spot." I heard the ever so lovely voice of Sheldon. I gave him a death glare.

"Sheldon, just let her sit there. She's seven months pregnant." Derek reasoned.

"Did he ever gave you the rules of his spot?" Howard asked him.

"Yes, but-"

"No, buts. That is my spot and will always be my spot. No exceptions." Sheldon pointedly looks at me.

"Whatever," I said tiredly and moved a little bit to the right. God, Sheldon can be such a pain. "You can have your precious spot back. Happy?"

Sheldon sat down next to me. In his spot where he belongs. "I'm not unhappy."

I rolled my eyes at him. He's unbelievable at times. Raj handed me my own bag of McDonald's and I take out one of the burgers and fries. I take a sip of my shake, too. While we're eating, Leonard and Alex have finally arrived.

Oh, boy. Here we go.

"Hey, guys! This is Alex." Leonard introduced his newest girlfriend. I'm pretty sure all of the guys met her before at work. Except for Amy and Bernadette.

Alex is really pretty. She has brown hair that goes past her shoulders with bangs. She wears a cute long sleeved green top with pants. I finally get to see her.

"Here, I can pull you guys up a couple of chairs." Derek offered and he got two for them.

"Thanks." Leonard said and got their food from the table and handed one meal to Alex and the other was for him.

"So, Alex, where were you from?" Bernadette asked friendly.

"Des Moines, Iowa." She replied.

"Do you want to know an interesting fact about Iowa?"

"Here we go..." Howard muttered as Raj rolled his eyes. He looked at Alex. "Just say no."

"You could try to stop me, but you know I'm going to tell you." Sheldon said looking at Howard.

"It's okay. I work with Sheldon so I'm used to his random factoids of the day." She must be one patient girl to be his assistant and put up with him 24/7.

"Random? I hardly call this factoid random as it is relevant to the conversation. Now, Iowa is known for..."

Ugh! Blah, blah, blah. I ignore his stupid rant and zone out for the most of the conversation. Even when Sheldon was done with his fact about Iowa. I do see how happy that Alex and Leonard like each other and get along well. Alex really seems to love him by how her eyes light up from just looking at him.

Meanwhile, I'm heavily pregnant and just stuffing my face with McDonalds...

"Penny?" I heard Leonard's voice calling my name and it made me snap out of my trance.

"What?" I focused back to reality.

"Alex was talking to you." He said simply.

"Yeah?" I looked at her.

"I was just wondering how far along are you?"

"I'm seven months pregnant. Twenty eight weeks to be exact."

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy." I smiled.

"He is our son," Raj had to mention. "I put the baby in there."

"Don't sound so proud of yourself." I hissed.

"Oh, well, congratulations," Alex said.

Raj and I both said thanks.

"How do you know Leonard?"

"Oh, uh, well, we-" Leonard stuttered.

"We used to date." I helped him out.

"Oh..." That didn't sound like a good 'oh,' but she doesn't really need to worry about me.

"You have nothing to worry about. You're together with him and I'm going to have a baby so..."

"I know. Leonard told me that he used to have a girlfriend named, Penny, but I didn't know that you would be her. You're so pretty and have that baby glow."

"Thank you, but really, I have moved on," I said.

I don't really believe myself that I truly did, but I said that to make her feel better. I don't want another Priya where she bands Leonard to see me never again.

"Oh, okay." She said a bit better.

"Hey, do you want to hang out with us on Girl's Night?" Bernadette offered.

"Sure. That sounds like fun!" Alex grinned.

I'm not sure how I'll feel about it, but...eh, I guess it's okay. Leonard is back in the group and so that means Alex will too. We should welcome her in. If we're doing that, we might as well invite Derek's girlfriend.

"Derek, you can ask Heather if she'll like to join us too," I said, looking at him, and then at the others. "It's like we all can have a girl's and guy's night on Saturdays."

The rest of them approves of that idea.

"Okay, I will," He made his cute smile with the dimples. "I'm sure Heather will love that. Thanks, Penny."

I smiled at him in return.

While all of us were talking, Howard asked Raj about his search for an apartment.

"How is your luck with finding an apartment, Raj?"

"Well, I found one in Los Angeles that's close to around six hundred dollars. It even has two bedrooms so that'll be good for me and the baby." He answered.

"How are you going to manage to pay that off?"

"Professor Maynard had out job applications for his newest research team and I signed myself in and did the interview. I got the job." Raj answered happily and we all congratulated him.

"What about you, Penny?" Amy asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I ate a fry. I'm already on my second burger and my chocolate shake was halfway finished.

"Since your doctor told you to relax yourself more, you have quit your job. How are you going to afford the apartment and financially support the baby?"

"I don't know," I groaned.

That's something I've been worrying about. Money issues. I'm poor as it is, but I don't know what else to do. I cannot have a job especially at this time. Sure I'm working on my college courses, but that's going to take a while to get my degree.

"You could live with me." Raj suggested.

"What?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow as if that was the most ridiculous thing I've heard.

"You wouldn't have to worry about your apartment if you can't afford it. We can live together until you can get back on your feet again. It will be great for the baby so we can act like a family."

"I thought you were going to turn the bedroom into a nursery." I recalled.

"I was, but I can give it to you if you need somewhere else to live. The baby can still live with you and I'll just be in the other room," Then he added quickly. "We don't have to be a couple and there won't be any sex."

"Well, that's really assuring."

"If you do decide to move then that means someone else will inhabit the apartment!" Sheldon exclaimed scandously.

"That's technically how it works." Howard smirked.

"No! I refuse to let that happen! I don't want some stranger being my neighbor!" He complained like a child.

"Relax, Sheldon! I don't even know if I will live in with Raj. I'll have to think about it and I don't want to go through with the whole moving ordeal right now anyway." I rejected.

"That's the right thing to do! Just think it through first before making any rash and impulsive decisions. Just think how you moving could affect me!"

"Oh, yeah, because the world revolves around you." Leonard said sarcastically and I can't help, but to smile a little.

"Of course it does." Sheldon said, looking at him.

I just shake my head at how selfish Sheldon is.

"It does make sense for the two of you to live together rather than taking the baby back and forth to yours and Raj's apartment," Bernadette said thoughtfully and I wish she wouldn't. "Have you figured out how you're going to raise the baby?"

"So far, we want to raise him bilingual and let him be in any religion he wants."

"Personally, I prefer Hinduism." Raj butted in.

"We're just going to raise him with the best of our abilities."

"What if you two clash on different parenting styles?" Amy asked.

"Um, then we'll just have to figure it out, I guess." I haven't really thought of that.

"I have a fun suggestion for Penny and Raj." Sheldon spoke again. Unfortunately.

"Like what?" Derek asked.

"How about I create a contract that will help the both of you with your parenting skills and that will set the boundaries on what to do and what not to do according to your preferences? I will also include other information regarding your child," Sheldon asked being all giddy with anticipation for our consent. "It shall be called, 'The Parental Correlation Agreement'."

Raj and I exchanged glances at each other. That does sound perfect actually. It's better than hiring a lawyer that I can't afford.

"That's perfect. What do you think?" I asked Raj.

"It does sound perfect. I'm impressed you've thought of such a plan, Sheldon." Raj said.

"My mind is full of ingenious plans and ideas every day." He gloated.

"But I want Raj and I to talk with you about what you will put in the agreement first. Something that we can both agree on despite our differences about how we will raise Ravi." I said strictly before Sheldon can get all crazy and obsessed with it.

"Of course. It is in according to yours and Raj's preferences." Sheldon said respectfully while nodding.

"Good." I approved.

"We should schedule a meeting for it soon! I am already itching to do it!" He said excitedly.

"Did the two of you realize what you allowed Sheldon to do?" Howard asked uneasy.

"Yes, but I trust Sheldon and so does Penny." Raj answered.

"Sheldon's contract for my Relationship Agreement isn't that bad," Amy said. "It's pretty easy to follow. It's also within my contact to defend and support it at all costs."

"'Atta girl!" Sheldon approved.
