Chapter 7

Leonard had drove for about fifteen minutes when he reached Penny's parents place. He was hoping today he could convince her to move back home and let him take care of her and the baby. Well until she could find a job and find a new place big enough for her and the baby. As much as he loved having Penny live across the hall, it was now too small for her and their baby. Plus her not having a job she could no longer afford the place. Leonard made an agrument why it would be best for her to move in and could change the roommate agreement with Sheldon.

Leonard pulled up and decided to go to the door. After he put his rental car in park and turned the engine off, Leonard walked up to the porch and rang the door bell. For a moment he felt like a high school boy asking the popular high school cheerleader to prom. Leonard chuckled at the thought knowing back then he would have never had a chance with a girl like Penny. He was lucky enough to have date her once and had been more than friends twice.

As he waited, Leonard noticed the temperature had dropped into the mid thirties and began to snow. He was grateful it was almost fifty degrees last night as him and Wyatt sat on the porch and when him and Penny took a walk. Wyatt was right, when the weather is descent in Nebraska you enjoy it. Suddenly the door opened and there was Penny. Leonard could not help but smile as her hair where in two buns on top of her head. Since it was early March and weather was unpredictable there, Penny wore a forest green winter coat over whatever shirt she was wearing, with blue jeans and brown winter boots. Leonard thought she looked adorable but he dared not to say anything.

She smiled at him as she saw the snow come down. "Hey we are supposed to get a few feet of snow today. Maybe we can let loose and play in the snow?"

Leonard smiled back at her, "I haven't played in the snow since I was maybe eight. After that my mom said I was too old. Studying and making a future for myself was much more important."

Penny frowned remembering how much she despised Beverly most of the time. Even though at the same time felt sorry for Beverly. "Well Beverly is not here and I say we have fun today." She strucknout her jand and watched Leonard shake it as they made a deal.

As they left and made it to a restaurant Leonard felt nervous he and Penny were about to have a serious conversation. The waitress recognized Penny, who turned out to be one of the girls that cheered with her. After they ordered, Leonard looked at her trying to cut the tension by just giving her a resurring smile. "So do you want me to go first or you?"

Penny closed her eyes for a moment and looked at Leonard with sad eyes. "I will, okay.." She watched Leonard nod. "I know leaving was the coward way out. I was scared, still am but seeing you with Priya made me think you two were perfect for each other. You two had more in common than you and I will ever have. My career was going nowhere. I could not survive on a waitress salary and live in a ine bedroom apartment with a baby on the way. To be honest seeing you happy with Priya, I was not going to tell you at all about the baby. My plan was just move back home and raise the baby on my own. Bernadette and Amy tried to convince me to tell you but refused to listen. Sheldon tired also with Raj and Howard. My mind was made up until I got here and missed you like crazy. It was mainly my sister that convinced me to tell you with the help of my parents..."

Leonard put up a hand and frowned in frustration. "Wait one second. Our friends knew way before I did?"

Penny looked up at him and nodded, "I was going to tell you but I was upset. Amy comforted me after I went back to my apartment. It just came out as I cried in her arms. Then the next day I found out everyone else knew, except you. No one can keep a secert. I am honestly sorry for everything Leonard, I really am. I know you are upset..." Penny tried to finish but stopped as she just looked at Leonard. His head was lowered and hands through his hair.

Leonard heard Penny stopped talking. He was upset that everyone knew except him. If she was not going to tell them, one of them should have. Another thing the made him confused was Penny kept saying she was upset he was dating Priya. She did not tell him because he was selfish when it came to others feelings. He knew she hurt him, but also he was hurting her. But just like him, could she still have feelings for him? Leonard looked up at her and looked into her green eyes, "Penny, is there any little bit of chance we could get back together?" As he looked at her, he saw panic in her eyes.
