The next six weeks had been long. But Penny enjoyed sitting back watching Leonard gag to no end when he changed a dirty diaper or when Nova spit up on him. One day when Nova apparently was not done and Leonard went to change her. Penny laughed so hard that she feel off the couch when Nova went all Leonard. She never seen her husband run so quick to the bathroom as she took over cleaning up their daughter.

So there were good days but then they had some days were Leonard and Penny wished there was a redue button. Penny never felt so tired. Leonard was use to being tired from living with Sheldon. There were days all three were in tears. Nova would get sick and would cry until she would fall asleep. That would make both parents feel stressed out because that is when they did not know what was wrong with her. Being a new parent was harder than it looked.

Then there were days Leonard fell in love with Penny even more. One of these days was the day he had to go back to work after being with his girls for almost six weeks. He knew Penny did not like being emotional. This day she was a mess. Nova was fighting a fever the pervious day and finally when it refused to break, Leonard and Penny ended up taking Nova the pediatric emergency room at ten at night. They finally released Nova close to one in the morning once the fever decided to break and the baby was acting like her normal self. All three did not arrive home closer to two and once they had Nova settled down and asleep, Leonard's alarm went off sooner than he hoped. Penny broke down in tears terrified to be alone with their daughter. Leonard could not blame her. Nova's fever scared the both of them. But Leonard being himself took his wife and reassured her.

"Penny, our little star loves you." Leonard began as he sat with her one their bed holding her hand. Her look of distraught made him feel sad for leaving his girls. "You are one amazing mom. You just get worried if Nova just sneezes once. She acting alot better today. Have whats his name and his boyfriend come over and introduce them to Nova. It will be nice to see some of you old co-stars since you were let go and the show got cancelled. If you need me just call, I will be home in a heart beat." Leonard asked if that seemed like a good plan. Penny nodded in agreement.

That evening when he returned from work and many pictures and phone calls later, Leonard walked into their apartment with music playing. He leaned against the door with a smile on his face and arms crossed. There was Penny dancing and singing silly with Nova. Leonard shrugged his shoulders and joined in.

The next night, Penny went out with Bernadette and Amy just to have a girls night. First was the spa so at least Penny could feel like a human again, then to a dance club. As the girls were dancing, Penny went to go get a bottle of water, she about bumped into a solid figure. "Hey buddy! Watch were you going if you going to back up."

Penny eyes went big when she realized it was the guy she barely dated when she broke up with Leonard. "Zack?" As he turned around, smiled at her as looked down at her.

"Penny! Hey what are the odds I would see you here?" He told her with his big goofy grin.

"Well it is a night club and we both live pretty close to it so I would say pretty good chance." Penny told her ex as she gave him a serious look.

Zack just nodded, "Cool! So what are you doing here? On a date? Seeing some one? We should go out sometime!" He kept talking not giving Penny a chance to answer.

Penny blinker a few times and tilted her head trying to hold back saracssim, putting her hand up for a second. "Okay Zach give me some time to answer. First off no I am not on a date. I am here with Bernadette, you know Howard's fiancee. And Amy, Sheldon's... well I would say girlfriend but Sheldon has never confirmed that yet so I will just say Amy is his special friend. And Zack..." Penny then flipped her hand over and pointed to her wedding band. "As sweet as you are, I am a married woman now."

"Well congratulations then!" Zack kept on smiling and told her Leonard was a lucky guy.

"Wait how did you know I married Leonard?' She asked him feeling confused.

"Oh well I figured if we never got married the only other guy would be Leonard. You talked about him all the time. Plus there is that video you made for him when you were sooo drunk on the laptop you gave me." Zack confessed to Penny.

"Wait! There is a video of me drunk? Is there any way I could get that back? And Zack I'm sorry I never gave you a fair shot. Clearly I never got over Leonard when we dated." Penny gave Zack a sad, guilty look.

Zack just shrugged his shoulders an told Penny it was no big deal. They made plans to meet the next day to get the laptop. Penny promised she would bring Leonard since Zack loved tha little dude and to meet Nova. Then Penny went back dancing with the girls.

When Penny came home, the whole apartment was dark, except the little light in the kitchen. Penny finally found Leonard and Nova in the nursery. She peeked around the door and watched as she heard Leonard sing "My Girl," rocking their daughter to sleep. Penny smiled and walked in. Carefully and quietly Leonard handed Nova off to Penny as she began to feed her. Leonard grabbed the foot stool amd continued to sing even they both knew they were not the best at it. At this age they also knew Nova was too little to even care what their singing sounded like. Once Leonard was done, Penny patter her husband on the arm and leaned over to kiss him. "You're a good dad... And husband. Well most of the time..." She said with a smug smile.

Leonard chuckled as he watched his wife feed their daughter. "Mmmhmm... Anyways did you have fun?"

Penny nodded as she looked between her husband and daughter. "Yeah, thank you for letting me go out. I feel human again. Oh by the way I ran into my ex Zack. We are having dinner with him tomorrow night." She smiled like it was no big deal.

As for Leonard he raised his head and eyes got big and quietly whispered in frustration, "What?"
