Continuation on The Tam Turbulence

Penny arriving home drunk after having dinner with Anu and Bernadette.

Leonard was at his computer when he frowned when he heard keys jongle outside his door. He did not have the door locked so he was wondering what was going on. After have a strange day with Sheldon who knew what was going on. Then he heard his wife outside the door, "Oh crap on cracker!" as he heard the keys drop. Leonard shook his head as he knew chances were Penny was drunk. He got up as he shook his head and opened the door. "What you doing down there?" He asked Penny who was on her hands and knees.

She looked up pushing her hair out of the way with a confused look, "What do you think, I dropped my keys and now can't find them..."

Leonard kept a straight face as he looked at his feet seeing Pennys keys right there. He pointed to them as he kept watching a drunk Penny crawl around the hall way. "You mean those keys?"

Penny looked over where husband was pointing to and smiled. "Yep!"

Leonard bent over to grab them for her. Then walked over to his wife to help her stand up. Since she almost feel over twice trying to get up. Leonard thenhp her walk into the apartment. "I'm guessing you had fun?"

Penny leaned against her husband as she tried to walk. "Oh yeah, Anu is cool. Could get use to her hanging out with us. But shhh!" She said as she put her finger against her lips. She almost tripped over her feet but Leonard helped her catch her balance. "Awe thanks babe." Penny said as Leonard gave her a worried smile. "Anyways Anu got us so drunk to get dirt on Raj. But we threw him under the bus but in a good way...I think?"

"You think?" Leonard questioned as he carfully sat Penny on their bed.

"Yeah, Raj will be fine...Hey when did we get to our bedroom. You're not thinking about taking advantage of me are you there buddy?" Penny said feeling angry.

Leonard was about to go to Penny's dresser to get her pajamas until she said that. He frowned as he quickly say next to her. But he had to sit her back up as Penny began to fall over on her pillow. "Wow, you have not been this drunk well since Amy and Sheldon's wedding reception...Penny look at me..." He said to her as he help her turn towards him.

As she did, Penny grinned at her husband. "You're cute! I'm so lucky I have a cute, smart nerdy husband..." She then put her hands on his shoulders looking deep into Leonard's eyes, pressing her forehead to his.

Leonard relaxed some but wanted to let her know he was serious as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Mainky to keep her balanced. "Thank you but Penny. you know I would not take advantage of you while you were drunk. Except for one time but that was long ago. I am just going to help you get ready for bed."

Penny leaned in closer and kissed her husband like she did almost eleven years ago. She felt Leonard kiss her back and it felt so good. But frowned at him when he ended the kiss and stared at him. "Why you stop?" She asked angrily.

Leonard felt calm because Penny was drunk, "I said not while you are drunk."

Penny then sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Why are you so good to me? I mean it. You do all these amazing things for me and you always respect me. You always find a way to show me you love me. I barley do anything for you..." Penny flopped her head on Leonard's shoulder and began to cry.

Leonard lifted up Penny's chin and wiped her tears away. "One you do may things for me to show me you love me. Two you are drunk and vulnerable. So how about I help you get ready for bed and I cuddle up next to you and hold you all night long?" He gave her a promising look.

Penny stuck out her lip and nodded. "Thag does sound nice.. " Penny closed her eyes as Leonard gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Then he proceeded to help Penny and kept his promise holding her all night.

By morning Penny woke up feeling a terrible hangover come on and she still had to go to work. She groaned as she sat up. Penny looked over and saw Leonard was not in bed with her and felt a sense of saddness. But then turned her head seeing her husband walk in with a tray of food. "Why are you doing this?" She asked confused.

Leonard smiled as he laid the tray over her lap. "Well I knew you would have a hang over so I brought you some headache medicine, a glass of water and a cup of coffee just how you like it made. Then to eat I made you eggs sunny side up, toast with avocado sauce, and a banana. All you need to feel better before work."

Penny looked up at her husband with a sad look.

Leoanrd's smile disappeared and became worried by Penny's facial expression. "Hey is everything okay?" He then hurried to his side of the bed and sat next to her. Leonard began to rub her back as she still looked sad.

Penny sighed, "Yeah, just here you are doing something amazing. Yes I had fun last night but came home drunk and all you did was take care of me. And here I am this morning feeling like crud and you go out of your way to make me feel better. You know how you said you thought you would never have me. Well I thought I would never have you. All these amazing things you do for me makes me appreciate even more everyday. Leonard Hofstadter you are such a good husband. But don't tell are friends I said that..." She then laid her head on Leonard's shoulder.

"Well I won't and you confessing I'm a good husband, I'm never going to let that one down..." He said with a smug smile as she frowned at him swatting his shoulder playfully. Then Penny smiled back at him. Leonard then gave her a kiss on the lips. "You are a good wife, trust me you are. You do little things for me too and I appreciate you for them. I love you Penny Hofstadter."

"I love you too, you big softy. Now let me eat!" Penny said making Leonard laugh.
