Authors Note: Thank you for all the reviews, while requests to kill or main Leonard did give me ideas, I will not kill him. Unless on the show he and Penny break up for good, I will not kill him. There will be revenge be rest assured, but it requires Penny and Sheldon together for it to be sweet. With any relationship it will get bumpy but true love is never an easy road to travel.

Disclaimer Big Bang its characters belong to someone else. The story belongs to me

Present Day

Penny was just about to have lunch when Nurse Walker came in

"There is someone here to see you Darling"

"Who is it?"

"Bernadette"

"Yes please if Doctor Wallace is ok with it"

"She told me if anyone comes in, if you were happy to see them then let them in"

"Thank you"

"Hello Penny"

"Hey B"

"So how are you doing, getting better?"

"Yes, I am hoping that I can get out shortly and be an outpatient"

"That good"

"Leonard was here"

"What!"

"Yeah he came around and tried to make me turn against Sheldon"

"Well looking at you, I guess he failed"

"For the most part, B, for a little bit if I am honest, he nearly convinced me, but then I remember what an honourable man Sheldon is and what a weasel Leonard is"

"He's been to the university as well"

"Sheldon, is he ok?"

"Yes but he is a little shaken by what he said, I talked to Howie on the phone on the way over, he suggested that you would just leave Sheldon if some good looking guy or Leonard came back"

"Bernie can you promise me that you will never allow that to happen"

"Penny"

"I love Sheldon but my track record speaks for itself, if I get a little hammered I might slip, I need you to promise if you cannot stop me, that you will look after Sheldon"

"Hey I am part of Team Shenny. I am pledged to ensure that you or Sheldon do not stuff this up"

"Team Shenny, I like it"

"Good Afternoon Penny"

"Hey Doc, this is Bernadette"

"Yes we have met"

"Penny I hear you mention drinking or you're drinking habits"

"Yes I was just asking B to make sure I do not hurt Sheldon"

"Well have you considered that you might have a problem with drinking?"

"I know that at times I was drinking a lot especially when I was dating Leonard"

"Well during your recovery, you had withdrawals because naturally you were not drinking, it is something we will talk about later but I would like to suggest that we maybe look at having you attend some meetings so that you learn to moderate your alcohol"

"I do not drink too much"

"Penny" Bernadette said "I think Sheldon will disagree, he found a lot of bottles when he cleaned up your place and you were drinking that night"

"Yeah I would have a few drinks after a hard day or after a date with Leonard, when we broke up and oh my God"

Doctor Wallace came in and put her arm on Penny "It is not something we need to discuss right now, but you need to know the discussion will occur, the night of the withdrawals Sheldon was a wreck, he would not leave your side, and he was badgering everyone pleading for them to help you"

"He was, Poor Moonpie" Penny said as she was tearing

"Penny we all have issues we need to deal with, you are no worse than others, with Sheldon and your friends you will get through it, that I am positive"

"Thanks"

"Well I am off on my rounds, I will be back for round two with Sheldon"

"Round 2?" Bernadette said

"See ya Doc" Penny said as the door closed "Sheldon and myself have sessions with Doc, we both need to discuss what happened and why?"

"That is good"

"Penny. I have something to tell you about Howard and me"

"What did Howard do?"

"Well we will be moving to an apartment nearer to the university as we need the room"

"Need the room but his mother's house is pretty big"

"Yes but with the new addition to our family, we felt it would be better to have our own place"

"Wait and Howard agreed" Penny replied then realising what B was actually saying" Oh my God, your pregnant"

"Yes, about 12 weeks"

"I am so happy for you, how did Howard take the news"

"Well he is busting to tell the guys, so do not tell Sheldon"

"Well congratulations, now I have something else to motivate me to get better"

"You better because we want you and Sheldon to be the god parents"

"Really"

"Yes Howard wants to be able to tell our child that his God parents were a Nobel Laureate and famous actress"

"Nobel Laureate maybe but the other thing I do not know"

"Penny, Sheldon has a file which I believe is his plan to make you realise your dreams"

"Really"

"He has sworn that you will never feel like a failure again"

"I am beginning to believe that hearing this"

"Well I got to go, have to head back to the lab"

"Ok B how about you come for lunch each day and see if Amy will come as I want to see her"

"I will ask her, it may take a while, and she still feels awful about following Leonard lies"

"Well tell her, I do not blame her"

"Will do"

"See ya B"

"See ya tomorrow Penny"

Bernadette threw her rubbish in the bin beside Penny's bed and smiled as she opened the door and left. Penny laid back and smiled her friends were there for her.

She was going to get better, that she was determined, for herself and for Sheldon.

"Moonpie, why did I waste seven years looking for the perfect man when all I had to do is look at you across the hall?"

"Not that I would have seen much, with that troll always jumping up and down like a dog asking for treat, but I will make it up to you Sheldon, yes I will"

With that Penny closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep so that she would be refreshed when Moonpie came this evening.
