Chapter 26

Leonard could not believe what he just heard. Pregnant, he could possibly be a dad soon. He sighed heavily as he ran his hand through his hair. Suddenly reality hit him hard as he heard Penny get sick. "Oh crap!" He yelled at himself and hurried throwing himself off Penny's bed as he put on his boxers. He grabbed a blanket and ran into the bathroom and covered Penny up. He kneeled next to her and held Penny's hair and began to rub her back all trying not get sick himself.

Once Penny thought she was done. she sat back on her bottom wrapping the blanket around her body. Leonard reached over to flush. He grabbed a wash cloth and made sure he got it wet. Once Leonard rung it out he than sat on the edge of the bathtub. He looked at Penny as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. Leonard handed her the wash cloth, so she could wipe her mouth. "Thank you." She told him not knowing what else to say to him.

Leonard sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. He tilted his head towards her as he gulped, "Pregnant? Really?"

"I don't know. I never missed my period except the time I found out I was pregnant with Jacob... It also could be my nerves or I am sick...Leonard all I know is that I'm terrified you will run out on me too..." Penny confessed as she scooted up against the wall just staring up at him.

Leonard frowned as he stood up, but went next to Penny and sat next to her. He put his arm around her as she laid her head on his shoulder. "I'm not Donny." He confirmed with her.

"I know." She agreed

"If you are, I'm not going anywhere. Even though we are not a couple, officially." Leonard then kissed the top of her head.

"I know." Penny said again scooting closer to him. She closed her eyes as Leonard held her closer.

"How about we go to bed that way your son nor Rosie see you like this. Plus Rosie does not need to see me in my boxers." Leonard told her with a smile.

Penny just nodded as Leonard helped her off the floor. They walked into Penny's bedroom and Leonard puller her into his arms once they were in bed. Even though they had issue to work through, yet as Leonard held Penny they both fell into a deep sleep.

Leonard had woken up early, he watched Penny sleep for a few minutes. He knew he was in love with her, that was one thing that never changed. Leonard could not help but smile at the thought her caring his child. He knew she was uneasy with this idea but Leonard just loved it. Penny was the only woman he could see himself having children with and always loving Jacob as his own. He leaned over and gave her a kiss onthe cheek. Leonard got up and dressed. He sighed with a smile and left.

A few hours went by when Penny fluttered open to see Leonard leaning over her, feeling his lips on hers. Penny wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss even more. "Mmm, what was that for?" She asked as they slowly ended their kiss.

"I could not help myself." Leonard admitted as he sat down on the bed facing Penny woth a wink and a smile.

Penny sat up as she shook her head with an eye roll. "You say the most cheesy romatic things. But that makes you so cute." Leonard frowned at her making her chuckle, "What?"

"Not cute! Makes me sound small and adorable." Leonard told Penny making him sound like he was pouting.

"Well...You kinda are and that's how I like you. Plus your tussie is cute too." Penny raised her eyebrow and gave Leonard a seductive look as she moved her blanket and moved onto Leonard's lap and kissed his lips. She then looked deep into Leonard's eyes with a wide grin. "I don't have to call you that but that makes you my stud."

"Oh really? Then you can call me cute and adorable all you want. More or so my tussie because you know it's true..." He said back as he gave Penny a deadpan look.

"There we go!" Penny said as she kissed Leonard again pulling him on top of her.

Leonard of course had trouble resisting but before he gave in completely he decided to let Penny know where he went. As he hovered over her and released her from he kiss, Leonard look became serious. "Um, I left earlier and bought you something."

Penny frowned looking up at the man she cared for. "Um, what did you do?" She became concerned and worried that maybe he was going to propose. She knew he would if she was pregnant because in Leonard's eyes it would be the right thing to do.

Leonard recognized the scared look on her face. "Well, I bought you two pregnancy tests. I thought we could find out. It kinda important to know..." Feeling nervous himself because he had to know. He was excited to become a dad but knew Penny was probably not ready for this again. So if she was, he would be there for her and take care of her and Jacob.

"Well talk about ruining the mood." She let out as Leonard let her get up. He watched her let out a long breath and get dressed in a long t-shirt. Then watched her walk out of her bedroom with the box in her hand.

It was probably a minute later, Leonard was just laying there thinking what it would be like being a family with that woman. Leonard knew for sure life would be better than the one he grew up. That os when Penny hurried in and sat next to him acting shy. He bowed hos eyebrows, "Um, everything okay?"

Penny looked at Leonard and shook her head. "No I took both test, laod them on the counter and hurried out of the bathroom. I'm afraid to read the results, so I was hoping you would go in there and read them. One line I'm not and two I am. Please?" Penny gave Leonard a hopeful look.

Leonard leaned in and gave her a peck. "Of course." Is all he told Penny and stood up and walked out of her bedroom and to the bathroom. When he reached the counter, Leonard looked down and felt mixer emotions take over. He gulped hard and tried to relax as he grabbed the tests. Then walked back to the bed room facing an uneasy Penny.

"Well?" She asked as she sat on her knees amd eyes big.

Leonard walked over and gave her the test in her hands and sat down next to her trying to show no emotions. "Your not pregnant." As his voiced cracker and lowered hos head.

"That's such a relief!" Penny exhaled with excitement. Well until she saw Leonard. "What is wrong with you? Are you actually upset that I'm not?" She asked sitting towards him with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.

Leonard could hear the frustration on Penny's voice. When he looked up Leonard could see she looked angry at him. So he shook his head and answered her. "No I am not upset. Just feel disappointed. Here I thought I was going to be a dad. We were going to become a family. Something I have always wanted the day I met you...Well after a non creepy way. It is only you." Suddenly Leonard was being hugged by Penny tightly.

Penny pulled back some to look Leonard in the face. "Sweetie I understand you want this. Maybe one day you will. But I don't know if I am ready for this again. I'm not even ready for marriage. One thing I am ready for is us to be officially be back together. I miss calling you my boyfriend. As you being a dad and is being a family, well you already are and I think it is safe to say we have been a family since the day you and Jacob met. If that's what you want?" She looked at Leonard with her eyes big and her playing with her bottom lip waiting for an answer.

Leonard just began to nod his head quickly and place his hands on Penny's cheeks. "Of course that is what I want..." Then pulled Penny into a hard, passionate kiss. Which Leonard received giggles from the woman he loved as she kissed him back. Just now he had to figure out a way to introduce Penny and Jacob to his mother who was flying in early the next morning. Leonard was certain it was not going to be pleasant.
