First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope Santa brought you what you wanted this year!
Second, I'm sorry for haven't posting much recently, I got called into work all week covering for someone. I know, I was upset too.
Thirdly, Unfortunately, I am giving up The Christmas Movie Continuum. I got a huge writer's block and no one will help me sort this out. I decided to write something else instead.
So, please give positive reviews and I'll post my other stories!
Penny couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"What?"
"I said I want to adopt-"
"Yeah, I heard correctly, but what?!"
Leonard sighed, "Penny, does it look like we have a choice? We're not changing them back and they need a home, and a better caretakers like you and me."
"Leonard, I made it clear that I don't want to have kids," Penny said upset.
"Having sex means having kids, adopting is having kids too, but it is a different thing! Penny, I want to do this," he said very serious, "To be honest, you've been pushing me over too long, making me do things you want to do. This is something I want to do. Besides, Amy needs someone right now. She needs us."
Penny scoffed starting to argue, "I've been pushing you over?"
But Leonard interrupts avoiding a fight between them. "Yes, and I have to be honest about it. Penny, this is serious! I want them to have a better childhood. Besides, you've been so good with them, you have to give this one a chance. I really want to do this. It's your choice Penny, are you with me on this, or your against me."
Penny didn't say anything. For once, her husband is right. She thought for a moment before finally nodding.
"If this is what you really want and if they really mean a lot to you. Then I won't stand in the way of it. And to be honest, I agree," she said calmly.
Leonard couldn't believe it. She finally agrees with him.
He then said, "Normally I'd wouldn't do this just so I can keep you happy, but I can't all the time."
Penny nodded and puts a tiny smile on her face. "I must admit, I am starting to like them."
"Me too. Amy will be so happy," he said feeling excited for her.
"But what about Sheldon?"
"Oh, we're adopting him too."
"What about his mother? Isn't she going to take care of him?" Penny asked her husband looking upset.
Leonard answered explaining, "She wanted to bring him back to Texas at first, but if she did a lot of people would ask a ton of questions. So it would be best if he stays here."
"But honey, that would mean Sheldon's going to live back with us forever," Penny said really annoyed.
Leonard shrugs. "Hey, I've been dealing with him for 15 years, I can deal with another 15 more⦠Or at least till he goes to college."
Penny nodded again. "We've been taking care of him many times, I guess I got some experience."
He smiled.
"Alright. Then let's do it," she said, "Let's adopt them!"
That made Leonard smile even more.
"This is going to be a long process though. Might take weeks. You sure you want to do it?"
"Positive," Penny said.
Leonard then says, "Ok. Also Mary lended us some money. I begged her not to do it, but she insists. It's for providing the care of Sheldon and Amy. Mainly we have to get them to sleep somewhere. I figured Sheldon's old bedroom is perfect."
Penny smiled at her husband. She hasn't seen him this excited since the recent Comic Con they went to.
"Well, we gotta get some sleep. We have a funeral to attend," he said and Penny agrees and they went to sleep on the couch once more.
