Chapter 11
Penny woke up feeling morning sickness was going to hit her. As she did her brain was processing she was sleeping next to Leonard. Feeling nervous about her commitment with him and the morning sickness, Penny ran to the bathroom pushing Sheldon out of the way knocking him down to the ground.
Leonard walked in a few seconds later, "Sheldon is not happy with you... Oh okay hang on Penny," He told her realizing what was happening so he hurried and kneeled next to her. One of his hands held her hair as the other rubbed her back. Once Penny was done, Leonard helped her over to the sink so she could wash her face and brush her teeth. "Leonard you are too good for me." Penny stating her opinion.
Leonard frowned at her as he starting to walk out of the bathroom. "Hey no don't say that. I should be the one saying that. I'm here to help you with ever you need because yes you are caring our child, but also well you know?" He told Penny shyly as he blushed some.
"No why?" She teased him with her but in her lower lip
"Well you know, that I love you... I know those three words still..." Leonard said as he was interupted by Sheldon.
"Could you please exit the bathroom... There better be no cotius going on...My bathroom schedule and the rest of my day is off due to you Penny and your fetus. We need to revaluate the whole new roommate agreememt already." Sheldon shouted from the door not knowing how close they were opening the door.
Leonard opened the door as Penny stared straight at Sheldon. "I'm sorry my pregnancy has caused your life complete chaos. I will make sure my morning sickness will fit into your bathroom schedule." As usually when she was being sarcastic towards Sheldon he would miss it.
"Thank you Penny. I am glad we have an understanding now. I almost wet myself." Sheldon said as he passed his friends and went into the bathroom.
Penny rolled her eyes as Leonard thre his head back. Penny looked at her boyfriend. "He can be so unbelievable sometimes. We need to find my own place and soon." She then turned and went back to Leonard's room. Leonard stood there for a second and felt very confused. He frowned wondering how the hell he got a roommate like Sheldon, then felt Penny was taking steps back in their relationship again. The other day she was talking about they would live together and just that second she could not wait to have her own place. Leonard sighed and looked at his bedroom door and wondering if he entered to talk to Penny about what she wants and him over think the situation. Or wait a few days and just get ready for work. Ever since she confessed she loved him, she had not said it since. Plus one moment she would be fine about them and being a family, next she would take two steps back. Leonard decided the best options like Wyatt said he would have to be patient with her because it would be all worth it in the end. So he went back to his room and saw Penny laying back down in his bed. He sat beside her with his hand on her back and leaned down to kiss her cheek. "I'm going to get ready for work. If you need anything just call. Spend the day to relax for a day for yourself. No me nor Sheldon for eight hours." Leonard gave her a small smile as she looked up at him.
Penny returned the smile. "Good, but I just might be dancing around in my underwear when you come home. So might want to drop Sheldon off the comic book store a few hours early. This body is for your eyes only."
Leonard frowned, "Damn straight it is!" Then he laughed. "You know what I think I will skip comic book night just this week and you and I will go do something. But let me plan it okay you can trust me can come up with something you will love." He leaned down again only this time to kiss her lips.
After they kissed, Leonard stood up as Penny grabbed his hand. Penny smiled at him as he gave her a confused look. "Hey I do love you Leonard Hofstadter. I am sorry I do not say it all the time, but I am trying my best to get use to this whole idea of us being back together and having a baby. Not what I planned how my life would turn out but some of the unplanned things in life are the best."
Leonard kneeled down to her level. "That can be true. You were unplanned in my future and then one day you showed up and my life changed. I will show you everyday how much I love you even taking our relationship at your level. I have loved you the moment I met you and won't stop until the day I die." He held a big grin.
Penny stuck out her lip feeling tears fill her eyes. She hated to cry so she had to say something to him. "That is the sweetest thing any man has ever said to me. Kinda cheesy though... But coming from you is even better."
Leonard gave her one last kiss and got ready for work. Penny laid in bed for awhile after hearing Leonard and Sheldon leave. Once she got up, she decided to go for a walk. As Penny walked around she thought about what to do next. She knew she had to find a job and the Cheese Cake Factory was at the bottom of her list. As much she loved acting Penny did not know if it would be the best of right now. Maybe after she had the baby, Penny would give acting another shot. Maybe she could find a horse stable to work at like her parents helped her set to work at before she left back with Leonard. Just then her phone rang. "Hi Leonard!" She was excited that he called her.
"Hey pretty lady, what are you doing right now?" Leonard asked also sounding excited.
"I'm at the park taking a walk. Why?" She wondered what he was up to.
"Well I was just throwing away my trash from lunch and happened to look up at the bulletin board. The University is looking for someone with acting experience for their new commercials for advertising. It is nothing major but it is an acting job." Leonard told her sounding hopeful.
"Oh my gosh Leonard that sounds amazing!" Penny could almost not believe what her boyfriend found.
"Great, I will pick you up in a half hour. The auditions start in a few hours. We go now you can get a script." Leonard told her. Penny walked fast back to the apartment to wear something nice. Like Leonard said he was there in a half hour. The auditions were being held at Cal Tech and Penny received a script. Leonard decided to make Penny less nervous he just went back to his lab, but he just sat at his desk waiting nervously.
