Chapter 14
Leonard was driving himself and Penny home after taking Jasmine home. Leonard noticed Penny had not said much since they left Howard and Bernadette's. He reached over and placed his hand on top of hers. Penny looked over at him and gave him a small smile. Leonard gave her a confused look, then his attention back on the road. "Hey you have been quite, except when you were talking to Jasmine about tomorrow for a girls afternoon. Are you made at me? Did I miss a fight between us? Did my eyebrows make you angry?"
As Penny looked out the window she could only bite her lip from cracking a smile. Once she could hold back Penny faced Leonard. "No none of those and not even your stupid eyebrows. If you must know I'm worried about us." She could only turn back facing out the window holding back tears. Penny hated to cry in front of Leonard that was why she could not look at him at the moment.
Penny only shuddered as she felt Leonard's hand now on her leg.
Leonard frowned in confusion. He noticed a few feet ahead an empty parking space and decided to pull in there knowing this conversation could not wait until they got home.
Penny noticed Leonard pull in and she looked at him as he put the car in park and shut off the engine. He took a deep breath and turned to his wife. Penny blinked a few times to rid of her watery eyes.
Leonard tilted his head and held out both hands watching Penny place hers into his. "Okay talk...What are you so worried about that it has you concerned about us?"
Penny closed her eyes for a breif moment and then stared at her husband. "Okay fine, I am worried now that you have a child out there and we have not conceived yet that you are not into it about us having a baby now."
Leonard felt his heart tighten and felt a rush of saddness. He squeezed Penny's hands a little tighter and pulled her a little closer as he looked deeply into her eyes. "Listen to me. Yes things have changed now I have Jasmine in our lives. I did not say mine but ours. The way her and I click is something I never had with any blood relatives except my Uncle Floyd. And the way you and her bond makes me incredible happy. Yes it seems easier to have an adult child than a baby, but trust me I still want to have a baby with you. The problem is that we have been trying for atleast eight weeks now and nothing. So yeah I am a little sad that we have not conceived yet. But like I read, some people it takes a little longer. Maybe we are just one of those couples. We just keep practicing until we succeed." He leaned his head forward and pressed his forehead to Penny's with a genuine smile and with a light kiss on the lips. "Okay?"
Penny closed her eyes as she soaked up Leonard's closeness. She opened her eyes and looked into her husbands eyes still feeling sad, even though she did feel a little better. "But if we don't succeed?"
Leonard then placed his hands on her cheeks refusing to move being so close to Penny. "Hey how about we don't worry about that right now. When we come to it we will seek out other options. So how about we go home and make love, maybe with a little role play." Leonard smiled big as he felt Penny smack him on the shoulders. "What? You know how much you turn me on when we cosplay in bed." He laughed as he watched Penny roll her eyes at him.
"I just had to marry a nerd didn't I?" Penny said as they let go of each other with a non hidden smile.
Leonard winked at his wife with a chuckle before he started the car up again. "Oh you know you love it. And you know you look sexy as hell when you cosplay for me."
Penny shook her head with another eyeroll. "Just drive you short asthmatic scientist."
The next morning Penny woke up before Leonard to take a shower to get the rest of the body paint off her body. After she did, Penny got dressed and she felt better about her and Leonard. So she decided to make him french toast. As she was turning off the burner and about to get the slice off the skillet, Penny felt arms around her waist and kissing on her neck. The kissing led up to her ear. She then felt a warm breath against her ear with a whisper making her head fall back onto her husband's shoulder. "Damn woman, cosplay sex last night and early this morning and now French toast. I could go into scientific studies of the odds us conceiving but I won't so I am just going to say I am a really lucky physicist nerd." Penny could only shiver at Leonard's words.
