I know that this is a little fluffy at the moment and I guess that was a little intentional after the last story. Things do have to get sorted out a bit. Read, enjoy and review

I own nothing.

Penny and Leonard were directed to the studio and met by one of the interns that brought them to the "Green Room". Dr. Johnson was already there and waiting. Penny gave her a sideways hug while holding Max. "Wendy, thank you so much for asking me to come".

Dr. Johnson smiled down at Max and shook his little hand when he grabbed onto her finger. "Oh my goodness… they are getting so big." She then turned to Leonard. "There's little Jenny… You… little girl… are going to be the star of the show. Leonard, how are you?"

Leonard smiled and shook the Doctor's hand. 'I'm fine. You really have caused a stir in the Hofstadter household with all this".

Penny blushed a little. "Leonard, stop telling lies". She then half smiled and bit her lower lip.

Leonard helped Penny with the babies and placed them safely in their carriers. They were both awake and happy, waving their arms at their father.

An intern came in and took Dr. Johnson and Penny to get their makeup adjusted for the show. Penny nuzzled close to each of the babies before kissing each of them on the forehead and following the intern out of the room.

As Leonard sat with his children, one of the hosts of the show, Kristin Snow, came in to say hello. "So these are the babies we have heard so much about. "Hi my name is Kris, shouldn't you be off to makeup? We can get an intern to sit with the kids while they finish with you. It really won't be that long."

Leonard smiled at her and held out his hand for a handshake. "Hi, I'm Leonard. That's fine, I wasn't planning on being on the show. I would prefer to stay in here and just watch. Penny, would rather I be out front in case she gets a little nervous, but I think I'll stay back here".

Kris smiled. "Oh we will make certain that you are in the audience. Front and center, we always keep a few seats open just in case we need them for this sort of thing. Everything will be fine. You will have a better view from out there anyway. I'll tell the crew, see you in a little bit".

Leonard was trying to process the information that was now coming at him. "But…. No…. I really…" Unfortunately for Leonard, before he could finish, Kris had left. Leonard resigned that he had pretty much lost control of the situation and just sat down to make sure Max and Jenny were OK.

Penny and Dr. Johnson came into the room and Penny gave Leonard a hug. "Thanks so much for coming Sweetie, have the babies been good? We should probably see if they want to take some food before they have to make their big debut." Penny decided that she would feed the kids with the milk she had expressed so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable trying to breast feed. She didn't know if there would be a place for her to be in private. She took max and tried to feed him with a bottle and he was just not interested. Jenny had taken her bottle fine with Leonard.

Penny was looking exasperated a little when the intern came in with one of the makeup girls and addressed Leonard. "Dr. Hofstadter, Jill is ready for you. Kris told us to make sure you got a touch up".

Penny looked at Leonard all confused and now holding a fussy Max. "Leonard, what's up?"

Leonard looked a little anxious. Kris, the host told me to be in the front of the audience….." He then gave Jenny to Penny who then started to fuss.

Penny looked down to her children, Shhhh babies…. Shhhh…. It's Ok…." Penny then looked over to a slightly amused Dr. Johnson. "What?"

Dr. Johnson smiled. "Give Max to me. Take Jenny and feed her".

Max looked up at Dr. Johnson as she took him from Penny. He had a small scowl on his face as Dr. Johnson gave him a bottle of milk. Max was not impressed with the presentation but took the bottle and calmed down.

Penny was holding Jenny who was peacefully sucking on the bottle she was given. Penny looked over to Max. "That's my big boy… drink up for Wendy".

Dr. Johnson smiled at Penny. "He's just particular. Do you usually feed him or does Leonard?"

Penny shrugged. "Max likes me better. He'll take a bottle from Leonard with not too much trouble, but with me… it's ME or nothing. Jenny is usually fine either way. She never has had trouble with a bottle and Leonard usually takes her. She's such a Daddy's little girl."

Dr. Johnson sat Max up to softly pat his back. "Max is just a typical guy… a little boob man."

Penny giggled. "Yeah…"

Just then, Leonard came back in from his touch up. The Intern followed. "OK… They are in commercial. Dr. Johnson, you and Penny can follow me to the set. Dr. Hofstadter, there is a seat in the front row waiting for you.

Bernadette's mother looked into her daughter's eyes while holding one of her hands. "Honey, this isn't really about me, is it? What is really on your mind dear?"

Bernadette was a little hesitant. "Mom I just don't know. Howie wants kids and I just never thought that much about them. I told him before we got married that I wasn't really high on the idea of kids. At least, not right now".

Bernadette's mother smiled. "Has that changed? Do you think that you might want a baby? Your Dad and I would be thrilled, but it really is your decision."

Bernadette fiddled with her hands a bit. "I don't know, ever since Penny and Leonard had their twins, I keep thinking how happy they are. I never thought that Penny would be that way. She was always so motivated to be an actress. Then she started to go back to school. She just seemed so in charge of her life. Nothing got in her way. She even put herself before Leonard".

Bernadette's mother asked, "How has she changed?"

Bernadette smiled as she thought of her friend. "Penny just lights up if you ever ask her about the kids. She seems so proud of them. I mean really… is when they roll over such a big thing? They are the cutest though. Her son is so attached to her, and her daughter takes to Leonard. It's funny to watch sometimes. They are the best babies. They are so friendly to all the people in our small group of friends. They don't fuss much and they sleep really well. We all fight over who gets to hold them. You should see the arguments when Penny asks if anyone wants to babysit. Penny seems to be so much more at ease with her family life. She always was afraid to commit to anything long term. She doesn't seem to mind all that much that whatever career she was working on has taken a back seat."

Bernadette's mom looked at her daughter. "Bernie, you need to understand what something like having kids does to your life. Everything changes…"

Bernadette looks down. "Mom, that's why I'm here".

Raj looked at his friend. "Howard, I'm willing to give Alex as much space and time that she needs. However, I'm not sure it will do any good. It's not that she asked for more time,… She said nothing at all. It's like she was making excuses not to answer ".

Howard tried to be as supportive as possible. "Raj…. That's not necessarily a bad thing. She has a lot to consider, it's not so different from what Bernadette feels…. Except that you guys may actually have to discuss this sooner. Bernadette doesn't want kids… At least not right now. The difference is that she knows it and she makes sure that there is no chance of getting pregnant…. Although, come to think of it, she's Catholic…. SOooo… you never know….. Anyway, Bernie doesn't want to jeopardize her career with having kids too early. Alex doesn't even HAVE a career yet… You need to give her a little room."

Howard continued. "Have you even told your parents that you are dating a white girl? You should know as well as anyone that your mother is totally against anyone other than an Indian girl. Can you imagine how they are going to react if the first time they hear about Alex is when you tell them that they are going to be parents?"

Raj looked like a light went off. "Howard, you're right, I have to talk to them about Alex. I have to let them down easy.

Sheldon and Amy got to the fourth floor landing and continued over to 4B. Amy looked at Sheldon. "Does it still feel strange that you are living in this apartment alone?"

Sheldon opened the door and placed his keys in the bowl next to the door. "I would have to say that STRANGE is not quite the right term. Odd, does not apply either… Hmmm….. I would have to say that DIFFERENT is probably more appropriate. I don't mind the solitude as a rule. I can think as long as I like, I don't have to put up with Leonard's tedious ramblings on…. Especially the ones when he and Penny were having difficulties…. I do miss the companionship, although that aspect hasn't been altered too much because there is often visitation between the two apartments and Raj and Howard often visit. Sometimes I think that they just make the effort because they are visiting Penny and the children, but other times they seem genuine enough when they truly want to delve into the activities that defined our relationship prior to all you females becoming entangled in our affairs.

Amy was a little put off by that comment. "Sheldon, do you really feel that 'we females' have done nothing positive to your development of social norms and have just entangled ourselves in your affairs"?

Sheldon thought for a moment. "Well…. I suppose that Leonard has become somewhat less whiny and more self-assured. As for Wolowitz…. The change in him since Bernadette was introduced has been most striking. I also enjoy our evenings together. I must say….. Amy… I very much appreciate the time we spend together. You have proven to be quite a stimulating addition. "

Amy stood just inside the door staring at Sheldon as he went to the kitchen area to make some tea.
