Chapter 31

Penny could hear Leonard and Sheldon bicker like an old couple in the hallway as she sat on her couch. She couldn't help but laugh because Leonard was moving and Sheldon would not except he was moving out tonight. Leonard walked in shaking his head and told his girlfriend he got the moving finger and three strikes in a matter in five minutes from Sheldon. "I told him how it is unfair that I could not give him strikes when he does something unacceptable in my book but something does not goes his way we have to deal with it and take it. But now to get the rest of my stuff out I have to take one of his courses."

"See how could you not miss him being your roommate?" Penny asked as she smirked at him.

Leonard couldn't help but chuckle as he now sat next to his girlfriend on the couch and kissed her cheek and tucked a peice of her hair behind her ear. "True but I'm sure you and the baby are going be better roommates..."

"Well if you miss Sheldon too much I can always make you a bathroom schedule?" Penny asked with a light laugh.

"Nah I think I'm good. Now about we celebrate us moving in together and us having a baby?" Leonard had to ask as he wiggled his eyebrows and then began to kiss Penny's neck.

"Mmmm, as much as I want to...God that feels good!" Penny could not help but enjoy Leonard's lips on her skin and his light touches on her arms and his ither hand rub her very still flat stomach. "Leonard I have something to tell you but you are makibg it very difficult.' She said out of frustration.

"Okay, okay. okay..." Leonard gave up with a chuckle but he refused to move his hand. He looked at his girlfriend wondering and waiting what ciukd ve more important than making love right now.

Penny took a deep breath as ger eyes closed for a breif moment and then looked at Leonard. She knew this was going to be hard to tell him as he looked at her with worry with his big brown eyes. "I know you are happy about this pregnancy..." She wanted to smile because Leonard was smiling but could not bring herself to do so. "I should be too because I'm having this baby with you. The thing is that this is not my first time being pregnant."

Suddenly that huge grin plastered across Leonard's face disappeared. "What do you mean? Do you have a kid already out there that you just happen to mention to me? Did you think I was not important enough to know about this sooner?" His thoughts were running a mile a minute.

"You're getting ahead of yourself. If you stop for a moment maybe you can let me explain before you get upset with me." Penny pulled back and was getting angry at Leonard for assuming before he knew any of the truth.

"Okay explain please." He calmly told Penny. He was grateful she let him take her hand into his.

"As you know my last straw being here in California the first time was my failed relationship with David... Like with Kurt and Mike, it was an abusive relationship. More verbal at first... Until I became pregnant. I was happy at first because my young naive self thought David would finally leave his wife for me and treat me like the princess that he told me I was. But once I told him he became a whole different person filled with rage...Next thing I knew I woke up in the hospital and the news that I had a miscarriage... My dad was by my side and told me once I was healed I had to move far away. But maybe if I never had told him that baby would be alive today as a happy child. But all I do is screw up..." Penny was in tears as she relived that moment.

Leonard knew Penny hated showing her emotions and being vulnerable in front of him but right now that did not matter. Once again though he was in disbelief once again in his someone could hurt this amazing woman and knew these men were the reasons why she tore herself down, yet she trusted him enough to open up to him. First it was Kurt and his controlling issues. At one point Penny did finally told him about Mike and his he cheated in her and once she went to leave him, he also beat her. And now was this story of what David finally did to her and her unborn child at the time. He held her so tight promising her over and over again that he would never hurt her. And once again he was not the strongest or a tall man but would do anything or everything to protect Penny and their unborn baby.
