Even it was a short scene with Leonard and Penny it was still cute. Anyways I wrote a chapter on how Penny really does love and care for Leonard. I don't own TBBT and of you don't want spoilers don't read if you have not seen this episode yet.
Continuation of 12x17
"Hey Sweetie, hows your weekend going?" Penny asked over facetime with Leonard. She noticed he was home but seemed in one of his moppy moods. "You miss me, don't you?" Penny smiled with a wink.
"Yeah I guess..." Leonard told her with a shrug. He was still feeling upset with his mother but didn't want to damper Penny's mood. From the sound of it she was having a great weekend dispite the little argument with Bernadette.
Penny frowned at Leonard's actions seeming really not paying attention. She sighed heavily. "What is going on? When I left you seemed happy? What happened?"
"Alright, once Bernadette finds out she will be pissed. But Sheldon bought this book Amy pointed out to him and well turns out we made a game out of experimenting on Halley and Michael." Leonard had a very displeased look on his face.
Penny blinked a few times then tilted her head with an eyebrow raised, "Really? Now I'm glad I decided not to have kids."
"Nothing like that, the kids thought it was a game too...Anyways I had a sudden flashback of my childhood..." Suddenly he stared off in space again.
Penny lowered her head and shook it profoundly. Then looked back up at her phone. "Leonard?"
He heard his name since Penny was usually the one who could bring him back to reality. "Yeah."
"Let me guess you called Beverly?" Penny asked still raising her eyebrow. She watched her husband nod. Penny rolled her eyebrow. "What happened?" She just had to ask because for the next five minutes she heard what her mother inlaw told her husband. She even heard Bernadette yell from the bedroom, "You did what?" Penny only guessed Howard was on trouble. Then "I'm gonna ring his neck!" Only meaning the other person she could think Bernadette was mad at now was Sheldon. But then brought her attention back to Leonard.
"I thought she really meant it until she admitted her experiment was not over yet. Meaning me!" Leonard said feeling upset once more.
Penny gave him a soft smile, wishing she could give Leonard a hug right now and yell at Beverly at the same time. That is one thing Beverly did not like, her favorite daughter in-law being upset with her. "Sweetie, I will be home tomorrow afternoon. It was going to be tomorrow evening but the sounds of it Bernadette will want to be home sooner to kill Sheldon and Howard. So how about we do whatever you want?" She gave her husband a sexy wink.
"Really? Even watch a movie with commentary and subtitles?" Leonard perked up suddenly knowing his wife was trying her best to make him feel better.
"Sure..." Came out of Penny's mouth with now a fake smile knowing how much two things annoyed her but she wanted to make her husband feel better. They talked a few more minutes and told each other they loved each other. But as they hung up she made a quick call to Beverly. She was going to get an earful and it was not going to be pleasant.
