Holy been gone for forever Batman!

Sorry about that. Holiday, then out of state for two weeks. But I'm back!

So here's the next chapter. Will try to have another posted before the end of the week.

Thanks to those who commented and favorited and whatnot.

I don't own TBBT, but I own Alex.

BTW, this chapter is just random accounts, scattered throughout Penny's second trimester.

Snoogans and Snoochie Boochies!

Sheldon had read everything he could get his hands on when it came to expecting a child. He wanted to be prepared for anything that Penny threw at him. Figuratively and literally. Mostly the change in her hormone levels and how to avoid her crying or killing him in the middle of the night.

But no amount of reading could have prepared him for what happened in the second trimester.

He'd thought they had a healthy sex life. It took a dip the first trimester, but he'd assured her that he still found her attractive, and showed her as often as she'd let him since she was less in the mood as usual.

But now?

When Penny first came to Sheldon, he'd been ecstatic, although he wouldn't readlily admit that, being a Homo Novus and all. But she'd given him the green light, and he'd taken control, because Sheldon liked being in control now that he knew what he was doing, and was more confident about it.

He'd worshiped her body, which was now showing that she was indeed with child. And although it at first made her a bit uncomfortable, the whole 'fat' thing, he'd been sure to show her that her baby bump was one of the sexiest things about her. She was caring his child. Her body was giving life, his offspring. She was precious. A goddess, if he believed in those, and she deserved to be worshiped as such.

That was their first time in a month. So when she was in the mood again the next day, twice, he'd felt like it was Saturnalia all over again.

The time where he tries not to be late for work again...

"Wait!" Penny called to him as he headed toward the front door. He chastised himself under his breath for dropping his keys as he'd fumbled for them in the bowl. "You didn't wake me up." she pouted.

"I thought perhaps this morning you would prefer to sleep in." he told her, smiling, trying oh so desperately to not let his face twitch.

Penny sauntered over to him, resting her hands on his shoulders, pushing him back against the door with a slight thud, and Sheldon swallowing hard.

"Come back to bed." she whispered in his ear before she slid her hands down to his chest.

"Penny, Leonard will be leaving for work," he checked his watch, "in approximately three minutes. He refuses to wait for me and be late to work again."

Her hands slid a little dower, grasping as his belt buckle. "I can take you." she grinned as she popped open the button on his trousers.

"Penny, I can't… oh dear Lord…" he moaned as her hand slid inside his pants. He was nearly a goner, ready to follow her back to the bedroom, when he was saved by his friend in 4B.

Knock knock. "Sheldon!"

Sheldon straightened back up and Penny pulled away, pouting slightly. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, least he make the mistake again of kissing her on the mouth and end up late for work like he had two days ago.

"I must leave for work." he said in a hushed voice, and before she could protest, he'd opened the front door and called to Leonard that he was coming.

Leonard raised a questioning eyebrow as he watched Sheldon zip up his pants and put his belt back together.

"Don't ask." was all Sheldon said as they made their way down stairs.

The time where he realized he would need to figure out how the heck they only had three children...

She watched as he stood at his white board. The show she'd been watching completely forgotten. All she could focus on was his long slender fingers and the way they gripped his Expo marker, slid it back and forth in his hand. The way his index finger lightly grazed his chin, and then how his index finger came to rest on his lip.

Penny got up from the couch, walked over to Sheldon, and gently grabbed his left hand. He looked down at her, and watched as she placed gentle kisses to the tips of each finger, then to his palm. His breathing increased slightly he noted, when she took his index finger and licked the underside of it from base to tip, and then took it slowly in her mouth, laving it with her tongue, sucking gently.

She kept her eyes locked with his, watching as his pupils dilated, his heart rate and breathing increased, and his eyes fluttered slightly. She kept eye contact with him when he moaned because she added his middle finger to the mix.

All the licking, sucking, moaning… Sheldon couldn't resist. He was so tired, so behind on his work he was going to have to answer to Gablehauser soon. But when Penny did that thing with her tongue, when she flicked it just so on his fingers, there was another part of him that he wished she'd be doing that too a different body part of his.

NO! Snap out of it Sheldon. She's using you. You read about this. The second trimester.

"Woman you are insatiable." he told her, trying to sound stern, but sounding more breathy and gasping at the end when she released his fingers with a slight pop.

"Touch me, Sheldon" she told him, bringing his hand that she still held down her body.

"I have… I have to work on…" he said, but when his fingers reached her center, he was done for.

The problem with Sheldon was that he was only just now experiencing a sex drive. He was a horny teenager who was fifteen years plus late to the party. Just having sex with Penny was enough to keep him interested, but sometimes, when she did things, he couldn't help himself. He was putty in her fingers. And the fact that he had the power to make her putty in his, well, that just added fuel to the sex fire that was burning in him now, thanks to Penny.

It baffled him that they only had three children.

The time he treated 4B like a church, and asked for sanctuary...

"Sanctuary! Please Leonard. I'll give you anything, and I mean anything, if you hide me here tonight." Sheldon said, bursting through his friends door.

Leonard, Howard, and Raj all looked up at their friend, who had shut the door to 4B behind him, and was leaning against it, heaving his chest, out of breath.

"What's wrong buddy?" Leonard smiled. He knew, of course, exactly what the issue was. He only lived across the hall, and while it was weird hearing his ex-girlfriend and his best friend having sex, it was hysterical these last few weeks. The pleas from Sheldon to be left alone, that he had to work, that he just wanted to watch an episode of Doctor Who in peace. Wait, don't do that on the kitchen counter because it'd take him hours to clean afterwards, not the desk because it'd take him just as long to clean.

"I just need one night. One night of uninterrupted REM sleep." Sheldon pleaded. His face was twitching madly.

"Why can't you get that back at your place?" Howard asked.

"Penny… hasn't been feeling well. If I'm to properly care for her, I need to be at my best." Sheldon answered cool and calm. It wasn't a lie in his book. She was ill, a type of ill, and he did need a good nights sleep if he had any chance of keeping up with her.

"If she's sick, you should be over there taking care of her dude." Raj scolded. "She's pregnant, give her a break."

"You can stay. What do I tell Penny if she comes looking for you?" Leonard asked, turning back to the movie him and the guys were watching.

"I've told her that I have a late meeting tonight at the University. You know how I feel about lying, however under the circumstances, it was a necessary evil. One I will make up to her once she is herself again." Sheldon said, then made his way back to Leonard's room.

Leonard didn't even bother to fight him on the fact that Sheldon just assumed he'd be sleeping in Leonard's bed. He'd give him a break this one time.

"Good night gentlemen." Sheldon said as he shut the bedroom door.

"What the hell was that about? Should we go check on Penny?" Raj asked.

"No. She's not sick." Leonard laughed. He picked up the copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" that Sheldon had gotten each of them, but apparently only Leonard had read. He turned to the section about the change in hormones and increased libido in the second trimester and showed it to Howard and Raj.

"That lucky bastard." Howard said.

The time he contemplated taking out a loan for the water bill...

"If it doesn't stop soon, I'll have to take a small loan from the bank just to pay the water bill." Sheldon said to Leonard, the only one of his three friends that he felt remotely comfortable talking to about this sort of thing.

"Have you tried telling her that you need a break sometimes?" Leonard asked as they sat and played classic Mario Brothers.

"Of course not! She'd think I wasn't attracted to her. She's already sensitive enough about her figure. Turning her down would, in her mind, cement her fear that I no longer find her attractive."

"Did you ever think that maybe you didn't have to shower every time. I mean, she's pregnant with your child…"

"Leonard, really. Don't be absurd." Sheldon said, reaching in his pocket to grab the small bottle of lotion he now had to keep there. He applied some to his arm where he was beginning to feel a bit itchy. A byproduct of all the showering. His skin, normally baby soft and smooth, was now cracked and dry from showering twice a day on average.

That one time in his office...

Sheldon was enjoying the peace and quiet of his office. Raj had taken the day off because his sister was in town. Sheldon had their office all to himself.

There was a knock at the door that took Sheldon out of his thoughts. He scowled at the door, "Enter." he said, and went back to looking at his whiteboard.

"Mr. Spock." he heard a familiar voice say, and turned to see Penny walking in, shutting and locking the door behind her.

"Penny, what a pleasant surprise." he told her and set down his marker. "What brings you here?"

"I need your help, Mr. Spock." she told him as she moved towards his desk, leaning against it.

"Penny, what are you doing?" he asked as she slowly started to untie the belt on the coat, letting it slowly fall open to reveal an outfit remarkably similar to that worn by T'Pring in the classic Star Trek episode Amok Time. Sheldon swallowed, hard.

She didn't answer him. She just let him take in the sight of her. She noticed his breathing increase, watched as his eyes raked over her. She let the coat fall to the floor and slowly made her way to Sheldon.

"Please, Spock. I need you. My blood is boiling. If you don't help me soon…" she said, but stopped as she reached up and placed a searing kiss on his neck.

It was surprising, really, how easy she got him to comply. She'd been wanting to do this with him in his office for a while now, but knew that it would take something special to get him to go along with it. She'd ordered this costume months ago, and had to send some last minute alterations given her growing belly, but the results were amazing. She'd spent all morning once Sheldon had left for work fixing her hair up in the intricate design from the character in the episode. Thank goodness for Google images. She'd even drawn in her eyebrows to arch up, and put on a pair of Vulcan ears she'd had Stuart at the comic book store order for her.

Sheldon wasted no time in pushing her back towards his desk, lifting her slightly to prop her on the edge of it, and pushing up the edge of the dress, revealing two things. Penny wasn't wearing the stockings that T'Pring was wearing in the episode, and she wasn't wearing panties either.

"Sweet sufferin' Jesus." he breathed out. This woman had him wrapped around her little finger.

He wasted no time in undoing his belt and the button and zipper on his pants and before either of them knew it, he was rocking with her on his desk, both of them trying to keep as quiet as possible, since this was his office, at the University, and someone could come knocking any moment. People passed up and down these halls all the time.

It was only a matter of minutes before she was biting into his shoulder to keep from crying out, and Sheldon was bent over her, shuddering as he reached the end with her.

As Penny straightened out the dress and Sheldon put himself to rights, they both stopped at the same time and kissed gently on the lips. The first time since she had walked in to his office.

"I've been wanting to do that for ages." Penny told him as he hugged her to himself.

"Seduce me in my office?" he asked, raising his eyebrow in a very Spock-like fashion.

"Yep. And it was just as fun as I imagined." she laughed.

"Are you working this evening?" he asked as she unlocked the door, preparing to leave.

"No, one of the new girls was looking for some hours so I gave her my shift." Penny said, opening the door.

"Good. Would you mind… perhaps when I come home this evening…"

Penny got the picture. "I'll be waiting for you Mr. Spock." she winked, and just as quickly as she had arrived, she left.
