Chapter 36: Conclusion Part 2
Present Day:
After they renewed their wedding vows. Penny and Leonard decided to find a house. It took some time...some might saw too long. Jacob was now sixteen and Luke was twelve. Penny could tell they needed their own room and space. They ended up buying the house next to Howard and Bernadette with their two and half year old daughter Halley and one year old son Michael. When Mrs. Wolowitz passed away, Howard moved back into his childhood home. When the house next door became available, Leonard finally convinced Penny it was time.
When they did move, Jacob and Luke loved going over because they would work on the toy rockets Howard had. They wanted make sure they were all set up so that way when Michael was old enough he could launch the rockets with his dad.
Amy, whom came part of the group and an amazing aunt to Luke and Jacob nine years prior, and Sheldon where now married and still living in apartment 4A. Somehow though Amy became Penny's bestie. It took Penny a little longer to realize it but she had to admit Amy was her bestie. Leonard and Penny were still there for Sheldon no matter how much a pain in the ass he was. They still loved him. Yet cracked up laughing when Jacob or Luke would beat Sheldon his own games. But Leonard and Penny couldn't be more proud of their friends as they were waiting on the news about winning the Nobel Prize in physics over super asymmetry.
Raj and Rosie stayed married for over six years. Raj had noticed Rosie was just not happy in California anymore due to facts of her father's health was failing and wanted to move back to Nebraska to take over the horse farm. Another reason Rak and Rosie ended things was Raj wanted kids and Rosie did not and if they were honest with each other they never really were in love with each other. They loved each other but no more than a friendship love. So the good guy Raj was he let Rosie go. Penny was sad it did not worl out between the couple but was happy to see both her friends happy. Raj dated four other women before one day he got hurt on Howard's scooter. He reeved it up a little to much because Bernadette looked angry that Howard bought a new scooter. So Raj had to get far away from the Wolowitz driveway fast as he could, but failed. That day though he met a really cute nurse and exchanged phone numbers.
Penny talked or Skyped Rosie once a week. Penny was happy for her friend that at one horse jumping competition she met her now husband. Who also was competing. They married and now had a baby on the way. Raj was confused why she had a baby with her new husband and not with him. But Rosie told him that being in love had to do alot with it. She did not want a broken family with Raj. So Raj congratulated her because that how he was.
As for Penny, she had no passion returning to acting. Few years before Bernadette had helped Penny get a position at a sales representative at the pharmaceutical company she worked at amd now Penny was the second most successful sales in her department.Yet Penny was still not sure about having another baby. She thought maybe it was too late though.
Leonard also got a job promotion. He became a co-lead on a photon entanglement team.Penny did not know what that was but made sure Leonard did not explained it. All she knew her husband did not quote his job and was super excited about this new position. Leonard even made some changes in his life, one being forgiving his mother for how she was because she was never going to except him for he was and he knew she would never change. It was one of the biggest accomplishments in his life and Beverly even told him it felt good that he forgave him. Something changed that day for the better of them. Beverly even formed a stronger relationship with Jacob and Luke. Leonard felt really good that he could form a new and better relationship with his mom. Penny was even really happy for the both of them and their family.
Yet Penny was still not sure about having another baby. She thought maybe it was too late though. Jacob was sixteen and looked a lot like Donny. He had Donny's blue eyes and dirty blonde shaggy hair style. Jacob was not as tall but still stood at six foot. He also did not have the athletic build but Jacob started working out a little with his mom now he had a girlfriend. Penny was discouraged at first because her oldest was interested in girls now. But Leonard reminded her that Jacob was a smart kid and his now girlfriend was even smarter. Her name was Bridgette and was close to Penny's height and frame. Bridgette had long straight brown hair and blue eyes. She was head cheerleader at Luke's high school, yet was caption of the academic decathlon. Luke was on the same team and during one meet that is where Jacob noticed her. Leonard told Jacob not to give up because he never gave up on Penny. As of Penny, she tried to tell her son not to push her into something Bridgette did not have any interest. But Leonard could just tell Penny was not ready for Jacob to grow up. So just like his dad Leonard, Jacob went for it and won over Bridgette.
Even though Luke had to be the interpreter for the first four dates. That was Penny's idea and Bridgette did not seem to mind because she loved seeing the brothers so close.
After Penny saw how much Bridgette cared and loved doing things with Jacob, which involved many family activities, she caved and accepted her oldest son's girlfriend. Bridgette was excited that Penny wanted to bond with her since her biological mother was never around, which something Jacob and her had in common, plus her step mom could care less. Penny even took Bridgette to buy her first prom dress. Penny called her from that day on the daughter she never had.
As for Luke, even being named after the coolest Jedi ever thanks to his dad and brother, he was a spitting image of his dad at twelve. The curly waivy hair, thick eyebrows, nose, lips, and even similar smile. A few things he wished he did not get from his dad was his eye sight and asthma, but he could live with that. Luke did though inherited his mom's blonde hair and green eyes.
He loved it when him and Jacob would bust on each other or even pulling prankes. There were a few times him and Jacob pulled an ultimate prank on their parents which somehow they never got grounded for. Since their mom and dad decided to scare him and Jacob one morning putting fake zombie heads in their beds, scaring them both. And to have Penny catch it on video both screaming a high pitched scream. So revenge, they blew up balloons with glitter and sat the living room as their parents tried to get into their room. Luke would sign to Jacob when a balloon would pop and Penny would cuss up storm when glitter would burst all over. Leonard and Penny finally gave up and came out to ground them covered in glitter. but when Leonard turned to Penny he burst out laughing. First she frowned but couldn't help but laugh too. The next morning to give a peice offering Leonard and Penny bought their son donuts. But were quickly spit out and many gag sounds filled the kitchen, since they were filled with mayo and not Bavarian cream. Penny and Leonard fist bumped each other. Then as they were about to take a drink of coffee, Penny reminder them, "You will never win, your dad and I will always out prank you... Ask your Uncle Sheldon." The boys knew they had met their match with their parents. But turned their pranks on their Uncle Sheldon. Which was even more fun.
As much as Penny fought it, Luke had skipped other grades because he was too advanced. Penny couldn't believe Leonard was right, they had their beautiful and smart baby and at twelve he was a sophomore in highschool. His last two years of school he would be starting college courses at Cal Tech. Penny only agreed to it since Leonard would be near their son. But also Jacob, along with an interpreter, and Bridgette would be taking the classes along with him. Penny still struggled with the fact both her boys were already for this stage in their lives even though it was two hours out of the school day.
One evening Sheldon and Amy wanted their two dearest friends to come over and wait to see if they won the Noble Prize in Pysics. They dropped off Jacob and Luke Elliott off at Howard and Bernadette's as they headed to Amy and Sheldon's apartment. It was after two in the morning when they received the call and Sheldon asked if he was really dreaming, so Leonard slapped him. Penny didn't think he had it in him and came to a surprise, yet was a turn on.
Hours passed by and Sheldon had a hard accepting change. Even with Amy's new makeover. So Leonard stayed with Amy and Raj to discuss Sheldon's latest behavior. While Penny got off work and came over to her friends apartment, since Luke was spending the night at a friend's house and Jacob was hanging out with Bridgette and her family. She got a text from Leonard saying Amy got a makeover and Sheldon was not doing so good. When she arrived she noticed after all these years the elevator was fixed so she took it up to the fourth floor. Which freaked out Sheldon more. So Penny went with him to talk with him, yet ended up drinking. When they arrived at apartment 4A Leonard could tell his wife was tipsy. So after promising to help Sheldon to rebuild his DNA structure, Leonard drove Penny home.
Penny could not keep her eyes off her husband as he drove. Leonard just looked too damn sexy. She saw her where they were and asked Leonard to pull over into a park. He frowned and asked why. "Just do it, please for me..." She begged as she batted her eyes. Leonard sighed and gave in. As Penny found the the perfect parking spot and was glad there was not much light, she unbuckled her seat belt. She crawled onto Leonard's lap and unbuckled his. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What are you doing?" He asked frowning with a chuckle.
Penny smiled as she bit her bottom lip and whispered in her husband's ear, "Do you wanna?"
Two Months Later:
Leonard and Penny sat on the bathroom floor against the sink waiting. "You think if I am, the boys will be mad?" Penny asked her husband as the slowest two minutes passed in her life.
"No, surprised at most. But we have the most caring boys, so they will love this baby... But we better watch our backs of this baby will turn out like their brothers. They will probably teach him or her all they know..." Leonard said giving his wife a scared look.
Penny sighed, just then her timer on her phone went off. They helped each other up and looked down on the counter. "Pregnant..." They said in unison. "Holy crap on cracker! Here we go again!" Penny said with her eyes big and a worried look on her face.
That evening, they decided to tell the boys, and since Bridgette was over she would find out too. All three were excited until Jacob did the math in his head. Penny signed asking him what was with that look. So he signed back, "Oh my God! That was the night you and dad came home with your clothes and hair all a mess while Bridgette and I ended up back coming here to watch movies. You two are worse than Bridgette and I...Gross!"
Bridgette and Luke Elliot faces then matched Jacob's as Leonard and Penny burst out laughing. Leonard then signed back, "Well of course we are. We are young and fun! Plus we are married and are allowed to do thngs like that. Where you and Bridgette are only dating. If we found out, more you mom, she would go all Nebraskan on both of you."
Penny grinned with the reply, "Damn straight I would!"
Seven Months Later:
Leonard was holding his wife's, while she squeezed the crap out of his. "Owe! Owe! Owe!" Leonard screamed as he was going to his knees.
Penny turned her head, in more pain than she could ever remember, looking very pissed off. "Hey I have every right. We wouldn't be in this position if you wrapped yourself up..."
One of the nurses pulled up a stool for Leonard to sit on as Penny held his hand. "If I recall you attacked me in the car." He said with as smile.as Penny released some of the pressure.
"All I said was Do you wanna? Aaahhh, son of a!!!!" Penny at first was going to defend herself but another contraction hit her.
"Breath baby breath." Leonard told his wife calmly, he waited for the pain to pass through. Once it did, he took his free hand and wiped Penny's forehead, then kissed it. He saw her smile up at him. "I know we wouldn't be in this position, but you know how hard it is for me to say no to you..." Leonard chuckled as Penny just rolled her eyes.
As time seemed to slow down and the contractions got worse, it was time for Penny to push. They both were excited to meet their baby as neither one had no clue what the sex of the baby was. Penny gave her one last push and Leonard watched as he saw and the doctor announced it was a boy.
Once baby was cleaned up and Penny was resting, Leonard went out to the waiting room. Their sat their friends and sons. All stood up as Leonard told them, Ezra Hofstadter was born. Luke and Jacob of course was the first ones to meet their new brother. Leonard took pictures of each one holding Ezra, which Jacob sent the pictures to Bridgette.
Penny sat back and watched her family enjoy the new little one. She smiled a sleepy smile as Leonard sat beside her. They gave each other a tender but short kiss on the lips. Penny laid her head on Leonard's shoulder as she began to fall asleep. Leonard knew their relationship and life together was far from perfect but they were happy and finally felt complete. Three boys were more than enough and was going to be more exhausting now but Leonard had the woman he always dreamed of spending the rest of his life with and loved his children he always wanted.
Even if one of those boy's was not biological his, but to Leonard was his from the day he met him. More so when Donny signed off his parental rights since Jacob had no interest in Donny's life. It was Donny's own fault he did not try harder being Jacob's dad. His new family was more important. So for Jacob's seventh birthday, Leonard offically adopted him and was now a Hofstadter.
A/N: I hope everyone has enjoyed my last two parter of this story. I ended up using Luke Elliot alot since a few other writers have just used Luke. And yes I also used Ezra again since I already have that name in my story Continuation of Leonard and Penny. I really like that name. If you guys want me to start a new story of A now seventeen year old Jacob Hofstadter I will. Maybe from his point of view of what it is like to be a deaf teen, now officially a Hofstadter...the list can go on and on. Just let me know.
