Epilogue

Three years later

Penny paced up and down the mini hallway of her and Sheldon's condo.

"Come on. Come on." She muttered to herself as she started walking fast. A few minutes past until she heard a door squeak open from behind her.

"Penny." said a sleepy voice of her husband, Sheldon. "Come back to bed."

Penny turned around to see a sleepy Sheldon, leaning against the door frame of their bedroom, rubbing his eyes trying to keep them open.

"I can't sleep. What are you doing up? I didn't wake you did I?" Penny said, as she started pacing again.

"I woke up and you weren't there. What exactly are you doing?" Sheldon asked as he watched his crazy wife pace up and down the hallway.

"I was just hoping that it would help me go into labor. I'm tired of being pregnant." Penny said, as she stopped pacing to come to a stop in front of Sheldon.

"I know you are. But you heard what the doctor said. He'll come when he's ready." Sheldon said, placing a hand on Penny's swollen belly.

"That still doesn't make me less frustrated." Penny said, walking down the hall and into the living room. Flipping on a light she flopped down on the couch.

"I take it that you're not coming back to bed." She heard Sheldon say from behind her.

"I'm unable to sleep. You can head back to bed if you want too." Penny said, but she could already hear him walking towards her before sitting in his spot next to her.

Sheldon leaned over and grabbed one of Penny's legs and settled it on his lap. Penny shifted in her seat and put her other leg there too, as Sheldon started give her a foot rub.

Penny wasn't really sure how Sheldon was going to react when she first found out she was pregnant. They never really had talked about having kids before, even if they had been married, for a little over a year at the time .

But Sheldon surprised her when she told him. Kneeling in front of her, kissing her still flat stomach. He's been great this whole time. Dealing with her crazy mood swings, food cravings, and even staying up with her when she suffered with insomnia, as he was now.

"You know, we still haven't settled on a name yet." Sheldon said, never taking his eyes off her feet.

"Yes, I figured we would be able to settle that once we see our little bundle of joy."

"All right." was all Sheldon said, before leaning forward to grab the remote off the coffee table.

"Did you ever think we would get this far? Three years ago after Leonard died; I really didn't know what to think. But if I could go back, I wouldn't change one bit."

"Leonard." was all Sheldon said, causing Penny to look at him strange.

"What about Leonard, sweetie?"

"That's what we should name our son. If you think about it, it's he's fault that we met in the first place. Plus if he hadn't worked so much the last few months he was alive, we would have never hung out so much."

"Leonard Lee Cooper. How's that sound?"

"I like it." Sheldon said with a smile.

"You're not the only one. He's moving up a storm in their." Penny said, grabbing Sheldon's hand so he could feel. "Both my boys are happy."

The next thing Penny knew, she was waking up to the sun streaming through the wind. She hadn't even noticed that she had fallen asleep.

Pulling herself off the couch, Penny rubbed her aching back as she headed towards the kitchen.

"Good morning, bestie." Amy's voice said, from where she stood from behind the stove.

"Amy, what are you doing here? Where's Sheldon?"

"He called me to come and stay with you; he left for work a few hours ago." Amy said, as Penny groaned out in pain. "You okay?"

"I must have just slept the wrong way. My back is killing me. I think I'm going to jump and take a shower to settle it.

"Ok. I'll be here." Amy said, as Penny headed towards her and Sheldon's bedroom.

Just as Amy was about to sit down to eat her breakfast she heard Penny yell for her. Bolting to the master bedroom's bathroom, she found Penny standing in the middle of the room in nothing but a towel.

"What's wrong?" Amy asked, not seeing anything to shout about.

"My water just broke." Penny said, clearly on the verge of panicking.

"I should have known when you were complaining about your back hurting."

"It's not your fault. Can you please get me something to wear and help me to the bed?"

Amy ran over to the clothe's hamper and pulled out a shirt on top and handed it to Penny. It ended up being Sheldon's 'Green Lantern' shirt that he wore the day before. Guiding Penny over to the bed, Amy grabbed her cell phone to call for an ambulance.

"What would you like me to do now?" Amy asked, feeling dumb that she had no idea what to do.

"I want you to go down to CalTech and get Sheldon."

"Will do." Amy said leaving the condo only to find out she was blocked in by the arrival of the ambulance. Half speed walking, half running Amy got to the university in a few short minutes.

It took her twenty minutes to find Sheldon, and the two of them bolted back to the condo. Both glanced at each other in surprised to see the EMTs were still there.

"Penny!" Sheldon shouted when they got inside, only to be answered by a baby cry.

Sheldon, closely followed by Amy, bolted to the bedroom to see Penny holding a baby.

"Hey, moonpie. Come over here and meet your son." Penny said, beaming.

Sheldon walked to the other side of the room, picking his son up for the very first time. For the very first time in his life, Sheldon was at a loss for words. He was having a hard time believing that he helped make something so perfect.

"Our silver lining." Penny said, causing Sheldon to give her a questioning look.

"What do you mean?"

"It took something bad to happen to get him here." Penny said, smiling at the little bundle in Sheldon's arms.

"That sounds about right." Sheldon said, smiling.

A/N: I was going to continue from where I ended last chapter, but the more I thought of it, the more it sounded good to end it where it was at. So I thought I would post an Epilogue to just close it more. So I hope everyone enjoyed my first multi chapter Shenny story. I really enjoyed writing it and reading everyone reviews. I will be posting more stories in the future. Maybe some even out of the TBBT fandom. So I hope you all read those as well. Tell me what you think of how I ended it. I never know how to end my stories, Until next time. Danielle 3
