Sorry it took forever to load this chapter. Between writing it the way I wanted it to and just coming back from vacation in Tennessee, I done with this chapter. So enjoy. Plus I am so ready for new episodes. I don't own TBBT or Lenny. But do own Jacob.
Chapter 29
It wa the next evening and Jacob was already asleep and Penny tired calling Leonard but he had not answered. She had hoped he had been busy with his mother, trying to please her. Rosie and Bernadette saw Penny was down in the dumps due to Leonard avoiding her and what Beverly said to her. Bernadette came over once she knew Jacob was in bed and brought over the peppermint schnapps and ice cream. They were all were giggling as Penny did her best imitation of Beverly. "Leonard I don't approve your girlfriend because she isn't a snob like me. Leonard your girlfriend is just a wanna be actress trying to get her fathers approval..." They all jumped once they heard a knock at the door. "Coming!" Penny yelled as she got up and swayed and stumbled to the door. She peeked into the peep hole and smiled. Penny turned to the girls and put her finger over mouth as she was slightly bent over. "Shhhhh! It's my nerdy boyfriend..." The girls ended up giggling more, which made Penny laugh. Penny turned back to the door and swung it wide open. She faced a surprised Leonard, but didn't care, Penny wrapped her arms around Leonard's neck and leaned in and gave him a long lingering kiss. She hiccupped as she released herself and batted her eyes at him as she hung onto him, "Hi lover boy!" She said quite loudly with a big grin.
Leonard held onto Penny's waist, still frowning at her, "You're drunk." He said in a monotone voice.
Penny shook her head, then nodded. "Yep!" popping her p. "Very drunk, all because of your lovly mother. Wanna drink with us?" Wiggling her eyebrows at him.
Leonard couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and grin back. "Why not?" Leonard released Penny as she swirled around grabbing his hand, leading him into the living room.
"Girls look who is joining us!" Penny said to Bernadette and Rosie. They yelled "Whoohoo!" but before Leonard joined them, he decided to check on Jacob.
As Leonard joined they decided to do shots, and laughed when Penny admitted the only reason she liked peppermint schnapps is because she loved the flavor and schnapps was fun to say. But once the schnapps was gone all four decided to have tequila that Rosie had hidden. Leonard confessed that no matter what he did in his life, his mother would never approve and he was just one big experiment to her. He was happy to have the tequila. At one point Penny had put salt on her neck for Leonard to lick which made Bernadette and Rosie make kissing noises. Which only encouraged Leonard to suck on her neck. Until Penny told him to take the shot. After he did he began to beg for the lime. Only to find it in Penny's mouth, "Oh we're sharing!" Which led Leonard and Penny making out and him spitting out the lime. But that only lasted a few seconds as Leonard became sick and running to the bathroom. Only disappointing Bernadette and Rosie.
Penny followed but was having trouble walking. She made it though, and saw Leonard getting sick in the toilet. "Oh Sweetie, you can't hold your hard liquor very well can you?"
But as soon as she saw his sick as Leonard leaned up to look at her with a smile, "Give me a minute and mouthwash, I will rock your world!" Leonard told her, she flew to the sink and got sick herself. Leonard went to comfort her but ran back to the toilet after seeing Penny get sick.
"Well this sucks..." Penny said sitting next to Leonard with her head on the shoulder on the bathroom floor some time later.
"Yep." Leonard said nodding his head. "I came here to see if well if we were still a couple and my mother didn't scare you off. Instead we get beyond drunk, watch each other get sick, and now sitting here fearing to even to leave the bathroom. Some night." He confessed laying his head on top of Penny's.
Penny frowned and lifted her head away and turned it so her and Leonard were looking at each other. "Sweetie, your mother did not scare me. It would take a lot more for her to do that. And surly would not break up with you. Yes she made some valid points but she clearly does not know me. She clearly does not her own son. I made one mistake breaking it off once with you and I plan on not doing it again. And sweetie, you need to stop overthinking that because I make a friend that is a guy, your mother anaylize our relationship, or even when we have a disagreement that we are going to be over. I chose you. You are good enough for myself and Jacob. I should be worried if Jacob and I are good enough for you." Penny took his hands into hers and kissed them.
"Wow, you know what to say when you drink?" Leonard asked as Penny just shrugged her shoulders. Leonard then continued, "Anyways you and Jacob are more than enough for me. You know that. You've known that since the day you let me into your life. Even though it has not been perfect and overthink everything about us. I am happy to say my mother cam not ruin what we have."
Penny agreed and then they both decided to try to get up and head to bed. They helped each other up and came to the living room to see Bernadette passed out. They guessed Rosie was in her room. They checked on Jacob one more time and went to bed themselves.
That only lasted for a short time due to Jacob waking up Penny. He signed he himself felt sick. Her head was pounding but yet stayed up with her son to help him through his sickness. By three in the morning Leonard had woken up Penny in Jacob's bed. He decided himself he would take over so Penny could get some sleep in her own bed. Leonard made a makeshift bed near Jacob's bed so he could hear if Jacob would wake up. Leonard did not even care if he had a hang over, he just wanted to help take care of Jacob.
Few months later:
Jacob's fourth birthday came and had a few friends over from school along with their parents. Of course Leonard was invited along with Raj, Howard, Bernadette, and Rosie. Sheldon only came because there was cake and ice cream. More so the cake looked like the Millennium Falcon. Jacob wanted Donny to be there instead of having two birthday parties. Penny contacted their case worker and everything was worked out even were Donny could bring his girlfriend and even introduce her to Jacob.
Of course Jacob had a Star Wars birthday party and everyone had to dress up like Jedi's, except Leonard and Penny. According to Jacob his mom had to dress up like Princess Leia and Leonard had to dress up like Hans Solo. Donny had no clue what a Jedi was until his girlfriend filled him in. He kept his jealousy hidden over the fact that Leonard was Hans Solo, since Penny was Jacob's mom. So in Donny's mind since he was Jacob's dad he should have been Hans Solo. But he played nice and he surprised himself he enjoyed being at his son's birthday for the very first time.
Penny thanked Donny for coming and she even thought maybe one night Jacob could spend the night at his house. Donny suddenly let that jealousy go away from earlier.
Once Jacob was in bed that night, Penny reviled under her white Princess Leia dress was the golden bikini outfit. Of course Leonard was grateful she saved it for him only.
It was not long after it was Penny's twenty-first birthday. Donny agreed to take Jacob for one night. Jacob agreed he would be a big boy and not be scared staying the night somewhere else. So Penny, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Rosie, and Bernadette all went to Las Vegas to celebrate. Sheldon even decided to come only to watch a phyics debate.
By noon they arrived and Penny decided to hit the craps table and of course Leonard cheered her on. But by midnight hit, all were celebrating except Sheldon who was already in bed. Penny and Leonard decided to celebrate a little bit more as they drank a little too much and headed towards a chapel as they confessed their love for one another.
