Chapter 45 Comfortable Aid

Disclaimer #2 today, I'm saving #1 for a later chapter, it really was turning into a honker. First off I do own stuff, I have a car, oh wait that's a company lease, house? Nope mortgage on that guy. Three cats? We went through cat ownership already. I have my big Yellow dog, but he's not exactly an asset I'm sure he consumes his value at his age. So it would be pretty hard to construe that I have any ownership or rights to The Big Bang Theory characters in this story. I do own my education, paid my student loans after they threatened to take it back by lobotomy. I do own an idea or two this one's called The Elliptical Threads I give it freely to the readers. Use the characters I've created your selves if you like. See where they can go. That's what I'm about to do.

It's a stretch

Leonard finally walked over to his desk. Penny watched him go, she felt heartsick for him. She knew Leonard really didn't like blowing his cool. Being photographed doing it wasn't going to help matters. Penny walked to the kitchen and poured Leonard a large scotch. She took a tiny sip, how he could drink this stuff she'd never know it smelt like dirty socks to her. Penny walked over and put the glass down next to him. He was sitting still with his hands hovering over the keyboard. "Any ideas yet?"

He gave her a sharp glance, then softened it, "No not yet, but I want those people off the front door of my building. I own the building dammit I could get them cited for trespassing. But then they'd find out I owned the building. They'd have a big day with that news and who knows where it might lead."

Penny walked over to the couch and sat in Sheldon's spot and turned back to look at him. "Leonard honey you did the right thing down there. You have nothing to be upset about. Those guys know the rules. Take all the pictures you want but don't get close or touch someone. If he had touched her then we'd have him arrested. You may need to let this go honey."

She patted the couch next to her and waited. He took a few more moments then picked up his scotch and sat beside her. Penny lifted his left arm and slid into his shoulder. She could feel him relax and smiled though he couldn't see it. He then raised his head, "I know what will help were not going to get ambushed here again. I'll have a camera put up front that's hooked into Tish. I can look on my phone before we get here to see if there are many of them out front." He furled his brow for a moment or two more. "The building owner is also going to make a few modifications per a tenant's request. This building is going to get a back door out to the parking lot up from the basement and I'll have the lot fenced in."

Leonard turned to look at her. Penny smiled at him, "That should help, reserve a couple of spots by the door for the Hoftstader's. Is that going to be massive enough?" She said the last line teasingly. He looked at her and laughed, "That's what I get for quoting Clint Eastwood." Leonard laughed and Penny cuddled into him, he was back.

Slipping Home

Lisel woke up close to 5:00PM and came down the hall to find her parents playing chess. Her father's pieces were in total disarray. Mommy was sitting back grinning while she waited for him to move. Her new mommy looked over and saw her, "Hi pumpkin come here, we're about to beat your father one more time at chess." Lisel came over and looked down at the board, then at her father, "Give up daddy." She then crawled up onto Penny's lap. Leonard looked over at her and grimaced before laying his king over. Leonard put his arms out and Lisel came over to him and gave him a hug and kiss. "Did Grandpapa play chess with you Lisel?" She just nodded and then looked around the apartment. "Hallo Tish"

"Hello Lisel, it's good to see you." Lisel smiled and wondered if this was the same Tish as at home. "Tish what is Schrodinger doing?" Tish took a second before answering, "Schrodinger is sleeping on the couch by the fireplace."

Lisel smiled lazy cat.

Leonard watched his daughter and wondered if she would also annihilate him at chess soon. He decided to put the board away instead of finding out. Penny was sitting back on the couch with a very satisfied smirk watching him. "We should be heading back home soon honey"

Leonard gave a shudder at the thought of running through the press with Lisel. He really wanted some way of keeping her from it. Penny was still watching when he looked up. "Leonard let's do this, you go out and get the car and pull it around. Then Lisel and I will act like were on the red carpet and walk to the car. I think you'll be surprised how easy it will be."

Leonard was dubious to say the least. Penny had already called Josh to warm him about the earlier scuffle. If anything he thought it would be worse. They got their coats and purchases for the day together and headed downstairs. Leonard looked out the front door there were still several Paparazzi on the sidewalk off to the side of the entrance path. There were also three rather large men wearing wind breakers that said security on the back. They were letting no one near the building door or sidewalk. Leonard walked out and the nearest security guard turned and smiled at him. Leonard was taken back a moment. The guy was huge and reminded him of Penny's old boyfriend Kurt. He was a young guy well over six feet and twice as wide as Leonard at the shoulders. "Dr. Hoftstader I take it. My names Bret and I'm taking care of you folks tonight. Can we bring the car around for you?"

Leonard handed him the keys and described Penny's Mercedes which they had driven in today. "Just relax sir we'll get the car and you can wait inside until we come to get you." Leonard walked back in the lobby to find Penny showing Lisel she could open the mailbox with her credit card. She turned to see him and blushed then smiled at him. "I've got into places that were hard to leave before. You were in total war mode so I had Josh take care of it when we talked. Believe me needing security is something massive." She blushed again and looked down. Leonard closed his mouth and walked over to her and took her hand, "Have you seen these guys, they are something massive. The one guy makes Kurt look puny."

Penny was laughing when the Bret stuck his head in the door, "We're ready when you are folks most of them have left already anyway. The car was at the curb with the front and back door open. "You first sir," Bret said. Leonard walked by him smiled all the way around the car and got in the driver's side. He looked back and saw Penny and Lisel walking out. Penny had Lisel's right hand in her left. Towering over them but right behind was Bret stoned face as he followed them out. Penny got in the front after helping Lisel in the back. Bret leaned in and very gently for such a big guy Leonard thought put Lisel's seat belt on. He looked up at Leonard and smiled, "Have a good night folks." and quickly closed the door.

Home and Dry well sorta

They had got home and Leonard went to cook dinner. Penny was glad he didn't take offense to her handling the situation. Leonard was smart like that. He knew when to let professionals handle a problem. He just didn't know that the professional security people even existed. Leonard said he was making a pasta primavera for dinner and started cutting up the vegetables. Penny had offered to help but Leonard had waved her off, "Take Lisel and show her the pool and let the dogs swim."

Penny took her and Lisel's shoes and socks off so they could wade into the beach entrance. The dogs were swimming and barking as they stepped in, Penny crouched down next to Lisel.

"Honey until you're much older and you've learned to swim you can't be by the pool without me or daddy okay." Lisel nodded and they walked up to their knees in the water. The dogs started to come out of the pool and before she could warn Lisel they started shaking. They both were soaked instantly. Penny was laughing though Lisel was crying. Penny picked her up and held her. "It's okay honey that's how dogs get the water off themselves." Lisel had stopped crying but she was mad at the dogs. "Bad dogs to get me and mommy wet, bad dogs." She said shaking her finger at them.

Penny kept from laughing and put on her fake serious face, "That's it honey you tell them."

Penny left the dogs outside to dry and walked back in carrying Lisel. They were both soaked so she started heading for Lisel's bedroom. Leonard looked up from the counter and laughed. "Stood to close to the dogs did we." They both ignored him and went down the hall.

Leonard finished the pasta in a light white cream sauce and made up the three plates for himself and his girls. They came out of the hallway with Lisel leading the way yellow pajamas with little ducklings sewn into the fabric. Leonard smiled at his baby girl then Penny came out. She hadn't gone to the wardrobe and was in her short pink pajama shorts and his black superman t-shirt. He had no idea it would look this good on her. It was always a little tight on him but a rare t-shirt. On Penny it was incredibly sexy it formed to her breasts and hips perfectly. Leonard stopped and stared if she had not put on the pajama bottoms and just stayed with panties he would have been doomed. Penny gave him a very suggestive smile and sat down at the counter for dinner. Leonard closed his mouth and for the nth time today realized just how lucky he really was.

Lisel had started to fade and get sleepy about 7:30. She had hung in there to get all the way to 8:00 clock when she was suddenly asleep. Leonard carried Lisel to her bed and tucked her in and had Tish dim the lights. He kissed her forehead and went back out to join Penny on the couch. He sat down next to her and she stood to look at him. The pink pajama bottoms were gone just the black panties she must have had on underneath and the black t-shirt. She got on the couch next to him and put her head on his chest. Leonard's hand slid over her smooth thigh. "You must have been reading my mind again, I thought of just this look when you came out in my shirt." Penny rubbed her hand lower onto his tummy and leaned up to kiss him. "I wasn't reading your mind honey. I just know you if I'd have had time I be wearing a red pair your favorite." Her hand slid lower and he knew they were not getting off the couch any time soon.

Hire a Thug

Penny lay next to Leonard on the couch. She had covered them with a throw but neither had gotten in their pajamas as was the norm for them after making love. He was behind her with his nose in her hair. His hand was placed protectively over her tummy and the new baby within. She covered his hand with hers. "Are you going in tomorrow honey. Lisel and I could come and meet you for lunch?"

Leonard nuzzled her neck for a second, "That sounds nice I don't get a lot of lunch dates. Do you have the number of those security people?"

Penny turned her head toward him though she still couldn't see him. "Oh I don't think we'll have a problem on campus. That would be trespass."

Leonard chuckled, "It not for them, I have a meeting with Leslie Winkle in the morning I thought I might need protection."

Penny smiled, "A condom or a club?"

"I don't know I could introduce her to the guard and maybe they'd hit it off and need the condom or I can just have him beat her to death with club. Either way seems like I could use both. Are you ready for bed now?"

Penny really loved laying here it was still before 11:00 but the bed sounded good too. "We could see what the t-shirt looks like with the red panties.
