"What did you say? Are you sure?" Leonard said coughing up his drink. He almost could not believe what was coming out of Penny's mouth. He blinked a few times, then gave her a blank stare.
Penny felt embarrassed and angry. She stood up, "You know what forget about it?" Then stromed off to their bedroom, slamming the door.
Leonard flinched as the door slammed as he just sat there. He lowered his head and sighed. Leonard then discarded the food that was left on his and Penny's plates and put the left overs in the fridge.
Leonard then went down the hall to his and Penny's bedroom. As he went to turn the nob, the door was locked. Leonard's heart sank. Penny never locked the door. So he gave it a shot and knocked. "Penny please open the door so we can talk. You just caught me by surprise..." He tried sounding calm but as he talked there was a crack of saddness in his voice. Leonard waited and there was no response. So he turned around and began to walk away. But stopped in his tracks when the door to their unborn daughter's bedroom was cracked open. He remembered him and Penny both saying they would get to decorating it but life just kept getting in the way.
Leonard made his way and noticed the walls were a baige white and the carpet was a light tan color. Nothing about this room was ready for a baby. Leonard sat on the floor up againt the wall and leaned his headback and sighed. He looked up at the ceiling and thought he wanted his life with his daughter to be just right since he kept messing up he had with Penny.
Leonard closed his eyes trying his best not to be over emotional. But opened his eyes and turned his head to the door as he heard the door open some more.
"Hey whay are you doing in here?" Penny asked as she feared Leonard was gone.
Leonard look on his face was sad as he just shrugged his shoulders.
"May I join you, but I might need help getting up. You know since you knocked me up and all." Penny joked trying to lighten the mood.
Leonard frowned as he extended his hand out to her as he scouted over. He then helped her sit down.
Penny frowned back, not liking Leonard this quiet. She turned to face him. "Really, just giving me the silent treatment?" She sighed heavily just staring down her boyfriend.
Leonard shook his head with his eyes never leaving an upset Penny. "No, it just seems I'm screwing things up again. And not giving you the right answer right away, along with yesterday, I had this thought in my head our relationship might be truly over. Penny I don't want to loose you or our daughter. You two is all I have to lean on when it comes to family. You know how my relationship is with my siblings and my mother. Yeah I know I have my dad and we get along, but I just see him maybe twice a year. I really need you two..." Leonard confessed as he laid a hand on Penny's baby bump and leaned in and gave Penny a light kiss on the lips.
Penny closed his eyes as Leonard drew back after he kissed her. She felt ears run down her cheek, "Damn baby making my emotions go all crazy..." She said as she opened her eyes and wiped them. She looked at her boyfriend who was smiling at her comment with an eyebrow lifted. She placed her hand over his that was on her stomach and finally gave Leonard a smile. "Trust me Leonard, I'm not going anywhere. I just got upset because well yes I did not get the answer I was hoping for. But I do want to marry you. Not only because you are a smart choice and our daughter's father. But I love you and I choose you to spend the rest of my liflife with..." She leaned her head on his shoulder as Leonard kissed the top of it.
Leonard then pushed himself up, as Penny frowned up at him. He only smiled down at her. "Don't move, I will be right back. I promise you..."
Penny rolled her eyes as she watched Leonard leave their daughter's room in a hurry. As she sat there, Penny looked around and guess it was close to decorating the room. She was sure Bernadette and Amy would throw her a baby shower, but she made decent money on the commercials she did and now the soap oprea. She could buy the majority of the baby items now plus more cute maternity clothes. As Penny was deciding to put the crib, she noticed Leonard come back in the room. She looked up raising an eyebrow questioning what he was doing just standing there with a goofy grin.
Leonard the pull out a ring from his pocket and showed Penny. "Well you would need one of these if we are going to be engaged..."
Penny's eyes grew big and her mouth agape some. "Where did you get that?"
Leonard played off like it was no big deal. "Got it after I proposed in bed, doesn't matter..."
Penny chuckled as Leonard got down on one knee in front of the woman he loved. Penny could not wipe the smile off her face. Leonard felt nervous but took a deep breath and let it go. "Penny, from the day I met you I have been in love with you. I will keep loving you more and more each day. I know this is nothing fancy but it is just us in our daughter's room. To me that is perfect enough. Just like you, perfect. Will you marry me?"
Penny sucked in her lip fighting the tears. "Yeah..." Those were the only words could escape her lips.
Leonard then helped her tonher knees, slipped on the ring to her left ring finger. Then they pulled each other into a hug and kissed.
