Chapter 38
"Awe you did love me!" Leonard smugly told leaning on his wife in bed after watching Penny's drunken confession few years before.
Penny rolled her eyes as she nudged him, "I married you, dumbass!"
"Yeah I know but now I know it was for love and not pity like everyone said at our reception." Leonard said without trying to laugh.
"Yeah yeah, lets see what else is on this video..." Penny quickly said as she pushed the fast forward button.
Leonard began to chuckle as the video ended with past Penny finally falling on the floor after passing out from her drunken state. He looked at his wife in bed. "That's my wife!" watching her smaking her forehead with her hand, shaking her head.
Penny then glared at Leonard, since he could not stop laughing as he replayed the old video of her falling. So she quickly shut the labtop and moved it to her nightstand. "Okay enough of that. That will be getting deleted by morning so none of friends can veiw it and you will never speak of it... Ever."
Leonard smiled a big grin and nodded. "Got it boss, now come here before Nova wakes up." As Leonard told her, he reached over to pull her into him.
Penny raised an eyebrow and shook her head which Leonard backed up and looked confused. "I don't think so Caption Kurt! My sheilds are up! Even above the waist! Now you better get some sleep because you just earned diaper duty for the next twenty-four hours." Penny then gave him a smug grin and rolled over and closed her eyes, yet still smiling.
Leonard rolled to his side and leaned over to give Penny a kiss on the cheek anyways. "Message received... Love you anyways."
Penny then felt bad and turned the other way to face her husband. She leaned forward and placed her hand on his cheek as he just watched her. They both closed their eyes as Penny kissed Leonard on the lips. "I love you too." And kissed his lips again. Penny stayed like that, even when Leonard put his hand on her waist. They then feel asleep peacefully until two in the morning when Nova woke up hungry and Leonard had diaper duty.
By morning, Penny was about to leave for her audition. As she stood at the door she was going over thing about Nova as Leonard had her against his chest in a pouch. "Okay there is milk in the freezer. If she gets cranky and hasn't burped, Nova has gas. The drops..."
Leonard just grinned ear to ear as he swayed back and fourth. He noticed this movment made Nova happy and calm. "I know babe. We will be fine. You will be fine. You will be home before you know it. Her gas drops are on the second shelf on the bathroom cabinet. So go do what you do best and have fun." Leonard walked over to Penny and gave her a kiss.
Penny kissed her husband back and then bent over and kissed Nova. She stalled for a moment looking at her family and then left.
"Okay my young Padawan, lets get you changed so we can have a fun daddy daughter day. But first I think Daddy needs a hazmat suit. It so bad your Uncle Sheldon would not even enter this building. Okay maybe that would be a good thing but don't tell him that..." Leonard looked down at his daughter and kissed the top of her head. Then headed towards the nursery.
While Penny made her way to Los Angeles to go audtion for now two auditions. One for NCIS as a waitress in only one scene. The other for Criminal Minds as one victims that of a homicidal plastic surgeon. Penny was nervous since she had not acted before Nova was born, but only hoped it would lead to something bigger.
Once Penny arrived, she took a deep breath and opened the door. Sat there was probably over twenty other women who were all blonde just like her. So she really did not know her chances were now and wondered of acting was really her calling. So she just decided to skip the NCIS audtion and went over to the Criminal Minds to see of there was a difference.
It was only a few hours later when Penny walked through her apartment door. She had mixed feelings from today and once she closed that door, Penny couldn't help but grin ear to ear seeing Leonard laying on the couch with Nova on his chest. Penny leaned against the door as she watched and heard her husband that this part of the movie is where Anikin Skywalker became Darth Vader. Penny just shook her head knowing her daughter had no choice at the moment what her dad made her watch. Yet she thought Nova would look adorable just as Leonard would when he got excited and passionate about certain movies or comic books. All she knew was Leonard, Nova, and all her friends is what she was excited and passionate about. She no longer had to become a famous actress to be happy.
