Chapter 32
Penny sat on her hotel bed watching her now pacing husband. Just minutes before they were laying in be, kissing as things became very heated. But as soon as Leonard's hand slid over onto Penny's pregnant belly, he stopped. Penny had opened her eyes to see why he stopped kissing her to only see pure panic and fear all over his face.
"What if you go into labor why we have sex? What if she just decided to come early? Penny I don't think I am ready..." He continued to say and over think their current situation as he paced as Penny raised and eyebrow at him feeling quite frustrated.
"Leonard will you stop overthinking this and walking back and forth if we go to the hospital and I get checked out? Because if you don't not only be you're first night as my husband it will be your last..." Penny asked and being a little short with Leonard.
Leonard stopped and looked at his wife. He noticed she was upset with him over freaking out over her having Braxton Hicks earlier. Leonard walked over to his wife and sat next to her taking her hands into his. His eyes were big as he looked at her with concern. "Penny, I'm sorry I messed up our first night as husband and wife. But yeah seeing a doctor would calm my nerves a bit. Then if you get the okay we can resume our honeymoon, I promise." He gave her a small smile with a little nudge.
"Good, because you're driving me crazy!" Penny said nudging Leonard back then putting her head on his shoulder. "Because trust me, I want to my husband very, very badly." She said in a very low sexy voice into Leonard's ear as she tugged the nap of his collar. As she heard him gulp, Penny pulled herself up and looked at her husband with a frustrated look, "Well come on lets go to a hospital so you can stop worrying..."
Leonard felt confused one minute from her tiny teasing to quickly acting like an annoyed wife. Leonard just shook it off and got up and kissed Penny as they went to leave for the hospital.
Penny was sent up to the delivery room since she was at thirty one weeks along and needed special care. But as Penny told her new husband, she was just experiencing Braxton Hicks. That alone put Leonard's mind at ease for the time being. Once they arrived back to their hotel, Penny was on a mission and rushed her husband to their room where she took complete advantage of him. Leonard did not complain once.
The next morning Leonard woke up his bride with breakfast in bed. Then he continued to pamper Penny by brushing her hair and help her bathe in the shower. Leonard then surprised her with a pregnancy spa day at their hotel. To Penny's own surprise Leonard joined her.
Once they were finished Leonard told her they had a tour of California Academy of Sciences which he received an eye roll. "I knew you were buttering me up for some reason." Penny said to her husband which he only laughed.
As they ended their tour Penny had fun but refused to let her husband know. But Leonard knew as he would catch her smiling at certian displays and demonstrations. Leonard decided not to confront her because he knew she would deny. So instead they just went to a nice lunch. As they sat down Leonard frowned as Penny looked uncomfortable. "Are you okay?" He asked taking her free handhand. When she shook her head no and she squeezed her eyes shut, Leonard told the waiter they would not be eating. He helped his wife up and walked out seeing she was still holding her pregnant belly and sweat come down her forehead. "Okay babe, wait here and sit on this bench. I will call a cab. Do you want to go back to the hospital or the hotel and rest? How long have you been in pain?"
As Penny sat down and looked up at her husband she just felt fear. "I don't know I guess since we got off the cable car I have had constant pain but was hurting the worst as we entered the restaurant and had to wait. So every twenty minutes or so. Maybe I over did it today... What do you think we should do?" Penny hated feeling fear and confused. She mostly hated being in pain because she did not like looking she was weak in front of her Leonard.
Leonard sat down next to his wife and kissed her temple of her forehead. He pulled her in and held her. "Hey its okay. I know you don't like hearing this, but lets call your obgyn and see what she has to say, okay? If she wants you to go to the hospital then we go. The nurses and the doctors will know what to do from there." Leonard tried his best to resure his bride, but felt terrified actually not understanding what was happening.
Penny nodded, "Okay." But her mind wondered if something was wrong with her or the baby. Or if their daughter came too early. She felt clueless at that moment. But embrassed Leonard's support. She watched as he got up to hale a cab and was calling her doctor. Penny placed both hands on her stomach and looked down at it. She let out a huge sigh. "Please be okay? I already feel like I am not going to be a good enough mom, so just be okay knowing I did something right."
