Signs of an Unexpected Way Part 2
Leonard had been working on his new laser he had granted himself a few months prior. A he decided to close up he realized it was getting late and Penny would be home a hour later. Leonard sighed knowing this morning was just a bad morning, so he texted his wife saying they needed to talk. He put his phone in his pocket an decided to close up his lab.
As Leonard made his way home and into his apartment, his phone rang. That is when he felt his whole world crumbling down. Leonard could not move as the police officer told him what had just happened. Leonard did not even have time to react but knew he would not be able to drive. So he rushed over across the hall and began to pound on the door.
"Really Leonard you do not have to knock multiple times. It's adorable when I do it..." Sheldon began to say after opening the door seeing his friend.
"Not now Sheldon, I need a ride to the hospital! Where's Amy?" Leonard did not mean to yell at his friend but he was frantic and need to be his wife
As soon as Amy heard her name she was in the doorway. Once Leonard said what was going all three where down the stairway, out the door, and in Amy's car. They were at the hospital on no time as Amy dropped Leonard off the door as her and Sheldon parked.
Leonard felt like he was about to go crazy since the nurse told him he would have to wait in the waiting room. Penny was being exaimed, so he paced around the waiting room, which drove Sheldon nuts.
Half a hour went by, now all their friends were now thier and Amy made sure her phone was close by to call Penny's parents with any news, when a doctor came through the emergency room doors. "Leonard Hofstadter?" He asked looking around the room.
Leonard turned and rushed over to tue doctor as the friends followed, all standing behind him. "Yes that's me. What is wrong with my wife?" He asked feeling panicked.
The doctor looked around figuring all the people surrounding his patients husband were family and loved ones so he just went ahead. "Well I am Doctor Peters," He began to introduce himself and then continued to tell about Penny's condition. What Leonard could comperhend was Penny had no broken bones, no internal bleeding to her body nor brain. But she did suffer a concussion to her frontel lobe which became swollen. Penny was in and out of consciousness but would be best if she was in a medical induced coma for twelve hours to let the brian heal and to see what damage was still there. Leonard concent to that once he asked Amy it was safe since she was a neurobiologist and onew the human brian. But then the doctor pulled Leonard aside and told him what else they found out. As, "There is one more thing, your wife is close to four weeks pregnant." came out of the doctor's mouth, Leonard would have never imagined he would hear those words.
Leonard had made it up icu and was the only one as for now to be with Penny. He was thankful the baby seemed to fine. He held her hand and talked to her. "I know you didn't want kids and we ended both decided not to due to my issues with my mother and you being terrified of raising another human being. But what the doctor told me, we probably conceived on Valentine's Day. We did get pretty drunk that night, so much we had to call into work the next morning since our hangovers were pretty bad. I hope you don't freak out when I tell you. Unless tou already knew and just did not how to tell me. Penny I want to be happy about this but I am also scared of loosing you both..."
The next twelve hours, Leonard barely moved except when Wyatt and Susan showed up. Wyatt sat with his daughter while Susan took Leonard to get something to eat. But all three were by her side when Penny started to wake up. It took her awhile, but when her vision became clear and confusion came over her, "Leonard?" she said with a shaky, horse voice.
Leonard came close to her, "Hey babe, I'm right here."
"What happened? Wait what happened?" Penny asked having anxiety become to take over.
"You were in a car accident and now in the ICU part of the hospital...Your mom and dad are here too."
Before Penny or Leonard could say anything else the doctor came in the room to do an exam and to take her for an MRI. Penny was starting to calm down and Leonard became less worried once the doctor told them the swelling went down but wanted to keep an eye on her due to her concession and pregnancy, check her behavior patterns, and motor skills for the any signs of change. Wyatt and Susan decided to give the couple some alone time as they went out for a late breakfast.
Leonard held her hands as he sat by her side, between kissing them or just resting his chin on them. "How are you feeling?" He finally asked.
"Like crap, I'm afraid to look at myself in the mirror." She said half joking but still gave her husband a small smile.
Leonard cracked a side smile, "Shouldn't matter because you're still beautiful too me."
Penny rolled her eyes toward her husband, "Laying in the charm there Hofstadter, they could have added alien replacement parts to me and you would still call me beautiful."
"Or even look hotter!" Leonard remarked wiggling his eyebrows making Penny chuckled.
"Only you would think that my stud." Which she gave Leonard a wink as he lifted his eyebrows upwards. She then got quiet as she noticed his eyes went towards her stomach. She sighed for a second. "So the doctor confirmed that I am indeed pregnant, huh?"
Leonard looked over at his wife's face as he knew that look. The same look she gave him through the years when reality hit her hard. "Yeah, are you mad?" He asked nervously.
"No, I know we did not plan him, but I'm not mad. I know you don't believe in the supernatural but after that truck hit me and my world went white, I met him." She then put her hands on top of her lower section of her abdomen as Leonard's laid stayed on her hands.
Leonard looked down at their hands and looked back up at his wife with a smile and tears in his eyes. "He?" Leonard choked out.
Penny nodded and proceeded to tell her husband what had happened. She knew he may have not believed in the supernatural but believed her. Leonard leaned over Penny and kissed her lower stomach and whispered, "Hi my Emmett!"
