Chapter 21
Penny was glad it was the weekend and to actually have the following week to relax. For the past two weeks, Penny and the rest of the cast had taken promotion pictures, interviews with Soap Oprea Digist and different television interviews. So today Penny was sitting on he couch reading the script for the first week of shooting. Leonard was making them dinner, until they heard a knock at the door. Leonard looked up as he looked at Penny confused as she gave him the same look. "Where you expecting anyone?" He asked.
Penny shook her head, "No. You?"
Leoanrd shook his head no as he walked to the door. Penny got up and followed him. As he looked through the peep hole he suddenly felt sick. Leonard turned back to Penny and swallowed hard.
Penny frowned as she tilted her head. "Who is it?"
Leonard saw hard again. He then took his Penny's hands into his, "It's my mother. Sheldon must have told her where I was living now. And promise me you won't get mad." He was hopeful but was wrong.
Penny have him a stern look. "Let me guess you did not tell her we were back together and about our daughter?"
Leonard nodded, "Well I thought she doesn't tell me anything why should I tell her about us and the baby... Hey at least my dad knows..." He resurred with a cheesy grin.
Penny frowned harder as she shook her head. "I don't care if she knows about us but the baby Leoanrd. You could have at least told her since we are giving her a grand daughter... Now let her in..." Penny pushed passed Leonard and just went to their bedroom.
Leonard felt like a jerk and a bad person. He lowered his head having to face his mother on his own as he opened the door. He looked up feeling now guilty, "Hello Mom."
She stood there with no emotion to her look, "Leonard, now are you going to let me in?"
Leonard let her in as she sat on the couch and he went to make Beverly some tea. "So mom, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
For the next hour, Leonard was criticized about not letting her know where he was living, not knowing despite him and Penny were back together but probably going toto break up again. Then she was very upset that he got Penny pregnant and how does he know with Penny's promiscuous background. Leonard found out Sheldon was still upset with him and went to Beverly for advise.
Leonard staired at his mother. It had been a long time since he ever felt this angry and upset. "Mother, just please leave. I really don't know what to say. I am use to you tearing my life down, but it stops with Penny and my unborn daughter." He stood up and walked to the door and opened it up.
Beverly stood up as she got the hint and just left without another word.
Leonard felt a head ache coming on. He sat on the couch and closed his eyes. Between Penny upset with him and him being upset with his mother, Leonard just wanted the day to end.
Penny had came out as soon as she heard Beverly leave and plus she was hungry. Leonard never finished making dinner as she entered the kitchen. Nothing looked good in the fridge so she called and ordered pizza. When she walked in the livingroom, she say Leonard had his eyes closed. She sat next to him and faced him, as she placed a hand on his knee. "That bad?" She asked.
Leonard turned his head and opened an eye. "What do you think? First you get mad at me for not telling that wicked woman about us and the baby. For your information she knew because of Sheldon. And you know what? She questioned me on being the father. Not because I am too weak to produce children, no because of your past with men... You know what? My head hurts, I'm going to bed." Leonard gave Penny one hard look and then got up to go the bedroom.
Penny suddenly felt like the bad person. She sat there wishing she could have turned back the clock and stayed with Leonard to face Beverly. She got upset with her boyfriend that made things worse. Penny called the pizza place and cancelled her order. She needed to get away, so she texted Bernadette and Amy begging for some girl time. Bernadette told her to come on over. Penny then got up and left.
A few hours later Leonard had woken up. As he walked up he noticed the whole apartment was dark. Leonard felt worried Penny was not here. So he decided to call her, but hung up as he heard her cell phone ring on the coffee table. Leonard then grabbed his keys and phone as he went to go look for her.
"Why am I such a bad girlfriend?" Penny cried in front of her friends in Bernadette's apartment.
"You're not a bad girlfriend, Leonard just can not see how perfect you are." Amy told her with a creepy smile.
Penny wiped her tears giving Amy a scared smile.
Bernadette got up hearing someone knocking at her door. "It seems like he was more mad at his mom than he was you." She opened the door and grinned ear to ear, "Speaking of the devil, Hi Leonard!"
Leonard was beyond upset. His hair was tossed and messy. His eyes were red. He slowly looked up making eye contact with Bernadette. "You haven't seen Penny have you?"
Bernadette moved out of the way and Leonard and Penny's eyes met.
