I love the reviews guys… keep them coming. Your feedback is helping me come up with new twists and turns to this story. Chapter 3 will be shocking, so read down below.
A week later Penny began to feel really sick. She rushed to the toilet vomiting repetitively. After she flushed the toilet she brushed her teeth. Penny went back to bed and thought nothing of her vomiting except the possibly of consuming bad food. Later that morning around nine o'clock she rushed back to the toilet to vomit once more. Penny didn't understand why she was throwing up so much. Penny walked back to her bedroom and got under the covers. She did not feel well at all. Penny called Bernadette and Amy to see if they could help find out what is wrong with her. Twenty minutes later the two women arrive to Penny's apartment. Penny felt too sick to get up, but she knew she was the only one who could open the door.
"Amy, Bernadette thank God you're here," Penny said closing the door.
"Penny what's the matter?" Amy said with a confused look on her face.
"I've been throwing up every morning the whole week. Its Saturday and I have felt even worse. Today I had some fatigue and I don't understand why," Penny said pouring herself a glass of water.
Amy and Bernadette exchanged looks with each other. They were thinking the same thing. Penny might be pregnant.
"Well I can do a urine test to see if you could have something in your body," Amy said clapping her hands.
"Umm sure," Penny said handing Amy a water bottle.
"When did you have your last period?" Bernadette asked curiously.
"Well, I was supposed to be on my period Tuesday, but apparently I either missed it or it hasn't come yet. I seriously doubt I would have missed a period. Leonard and I are no longer together," Penny said with a smirk and added a frown.
"That leads me to my next question. When were you last sexually active?" Amy question tapping her fingers on her leg.
"Two weeks ago before Leonard and I broke up," Penny replied.
Penny went to go pee in a cup as told by Amy, so she could test her urine and Bernadette went to help. The results Amy found were shocking. Penny was experiencing fatigue and morning sickness because she's pregnant. Amy could not believe that Penny didn't recognize her symptoms. Bernadette and Amy drove to Penny's apartment from the lab. They had big news for her, but they weren't sure if it was the right time to tell her.
"Penny you might want to sit down for this one," Amy said seriously.
"Why? What's going on?" Penny questioned sitting on the couch nervously.
"I'm not sure if you would want to know," Bernadette said softly.
Penny rubbed her legs and said, "Tell me I want to know if I have something wrong with me."
Amy and Bernadette said, "You're pregnant."
"I'm pregnant with my ex-boyfriends baby. Boy, does this got to make things more difficult. I have to watch what I eat and drink and I'm not sure if Leonard and I are going to get back together. I know I need to tell him. I just don't know when," Penny replied shocked and puzzled.
Penny went to her bathroom and raised her shirt up. She began to stare at her belly. There was no bump yet, but she knew that was something she can't hide forever. She was shocked to know there was a baby growing in her belly. Penny put her hand on her belly; she secretly hoped it would be a boy.
The next day Howard drove to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Howard banged as hard as he could on the door.
"Coming," Leonard said rushing to open the door.
Leonard opened the door and Howard walked in and stood there. Leonard looked at Howard straight in the eyes and waiting for him to reply.
"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Howard said tapping his foot quickly.
"Uh, yeah Howard. I'm going to get the biggest opportunity of a lifetime back in New Jersey. I cannot wait," Leonard said with a giant smile.
Unaware the door was still open, Howard replied back frantically, "You can't just leave us Leonard. We are your friends, and if Sheldon finds out you know he will do everything in his power to keep you here. What about our friendship? Are you going to leave that behind? Do you even care at all that you'll be away from Penny?"
Penny was walking up the steps along with Sheldon and Raj. All three of them overhear the arguing between Howard and Leonard.
"Its hard for me to leave the friendships I have created with you, Raj and Sheldon. I know what Sheldon will do, but its not going to work Wolowitz. Our friendship will remain intact and I would never leave it behind. Yes I care more than anything that I'll be away from Penny and she wants it that way. I'm leaving in May and there's nothing anyone can say to change my mind," Leonard replied beginning to get angry.
"Leonard, you know what do what you want, but this thing between you and Penny needs to get fixed now because I cannot stand seeing you two avoid each other. You should really think this through and take everyone's feelings into account," Howard fired back.
"Howard stop bringing up Penny, dammit. I'm doing this for me and for her. You just don't know when to quit. I'm not avoiding her, I'm just doing what's best for me. Whether you like it or not I'm going back to New Jersey... End of discussion," Leonard said as his face turned even redder.
"Leonard, one last thing… You know I thought you and Penny would actually get married one day because I had faith in you two. I'm glad you got your job offer, but think about this. What if the person you love that loves you back is hurting? Take that into account," Howard said and walked out the door.
Leonard walked to his room quickly and slammed the door. He knew Howard was right, but he hated it. Leonard wanted to leave and to him it's the best thing he could do. Penny stood there at the door in shock of the altercation that happened between Leonard and Howard. Leonard was moving to the East Coast of the United States. She just wanted to break down, but she had to stay strong. Penny looked over at Sheldon.
"Do you mind if I come in?" Penny asked politely.
"Be my guest," Sheldon replied leading the way.
Penny walked up to Leonard's door and knocked on it.
"Go away Sheldon," Leonard replied sobbing.
Penny put her ear towards the door to hear the sad sound of Leonard's crying. It wounded her to hear the pain he was feeling.
Penny took a deep breath and said, "It's not Sheldon, its Penny. Can you open up please?"
"No, I can't. Why are you talking to me? You specifically said you didn't want me in your life. I love you Penny, and I wish we hadn't ended the way we did," Leonard said crying.
"I have something very important to tell you," Penny said gazing down at her belly.
"What is it?" Leonard said standing up and wiping his eyes.
"You have to open the door because I have to tell you to your face," Penny replied and turned around.
Leonard opened the door and took a breathtaking glace. Oh, how beautiful she was to him and Leonard was mesmerized by her beauty. He smiled at her for the first time and for what seemed to be too long. Penny smiled back at him and was caught in his eyes. She loved those eyes more than anything and when Leonard's eyes were focused on her, she loved it. Leonard loved how good Penny always smelled. She was his favorite smell. Penny then shook her head and grabbed Leonard's hand.
Penny looked up at Leonard and said, "I'm pregnant," placing his hand on her stomach.
Leonard looked down at her belly and he began to cry. He wanted to have kids with Penny more than anything and the fact it was a reality made him beyond happy. He bent down to his knees and held Penny's hand and kissed it. Penny shed a few tears of her own and embraced Leonard for the first time since their breakup. Penny put her hands on his face and rubbed it as she smiled so wide. Penny had a lot running through her mind. Leonard on the other hand had some serious decision to make about going back to his hometown. Leonard was going to be a father, but this did not mean they were back together. Yet. That moment was a moment of pure loved with the hope of being reconnected. Let's hope they get back together.
