A/N - Since in the last episode Bernadette mentioned Penny was getting Leonard a watch for his birthday (obviously this is more in the future than that episode was) I was like... ooh, fun idea! And I finally got round to writing it. So here it is! Glad you all enjoyed the first one, hope you like this one too :) I guess I'm just seeking all possible outlets for new episode excitement since that's tomorrow!
"Happy birthday baby." Penny grinned, putting her phone down and abandoning her game of Star Wars Angry Birds as Leonard blinked his eyes open.
"Mm. Thank you." Leonard yawned widely, stretching out before sitting up beside her and pulling on his glasses.
"Sleep well?"
"Yeah, I did, actually." Leonard nodded, tilting his head from side to side to relieve some of the tension in his neck. "You?"
"Ooh, yeah, I slept really well." The grin returned to Penny's face as she leaned to the side, opening the drawer at her bedside table and pulling out a neatly wrapped box and turning to him. "Here. I did get you a card but... it's all the way in the kitchen, so, present first."
"Aw, thank you." Leonard smiled as he accepted her gift. "But shouldn't I really open the card first?"
"Nah. Present first."
"Okay. I do like being rebellious." Leonard grinned, beginning to undo her surprisingly neat wrapping. He could feel her shaking her feet impatiently under the covers as she watched him eagerly, and after a few moments he pushed the paper off to reveal a sleek black box with ROLEX printed on it in gold. His eyes widened as he turned to look at her. "Oh my God, Penny, you didn't have to."
"Oh, I didn't." Penny said simply, her eyes shining with delight.
"Really? I was only joking when I said I wanted one. You didn't have to."
"Seriously. I didn't." Penny repeated, knowing he wouldn't get her hint.
"Well it looks like you d-"
Suddenly becoming speechless as he opened the box, Penny clapped her hands together in delight, squealing slightly. Unable to hold in her excitement any longer, she sat up on her knees. "They gave me such a weird look when I asked if I could just have the box, and, you know, nobody even does that, they were like, what the hell? But I was like, look, I need the box, seriously, and I refused to leave until they gave me one. I was actually going to buy a watch and then just use the box and give you the watch later as like, a second present, but, wow those watches are expensive - so, maybe your next birthday - oh, or Christmas! - since I have that commercial coming up. But, yeah, getting that box was such an effort, man they are really protective over those things."
"Are you-"
"And I didn't wanna be like, oh, yeah, I wanna put this stick I peed on in your fancy Rolex box, the people there didn't look like they'd find that sort of thing romantic or a decent birthday present. Stupid snooty ass Rolex sales people. Anyway. Oh, plus I got a bit of pee on my hand when I took that test and I didn't think they'd think that was a funny story. I mean it's kinda gross but I laughed so hard I ended up peeing even more."
"Is this-"
"But really that was a good thing because I thought I'd take two tests just in case, since sometimes they can be wrong, and I thought if they're both positive I can keep one in my box and you can do what you want with that one, you can throw it away I don't really care, it was just a really good time to do this and the perfect way to tell you." She took a deep breath, dropping her hands down to her lap as she bit her lip in anticipation of his reaction. "So... yeah."
Leonard blinked at her. "You're pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant." Penny nodded, once more beaming. "We're having a baby!"
"Oh my God." Leonard dropped the box and stick onto his lap, before sitting up and kissing her; a response she seemed to have no problem with. "This is amazing. Best birthday ever."
"I thought it would be. And it's only just started." Penny tapped his nose. "Now you sit back," she said as she got up from the bed, throwing him the television remote, "pick something to watch, while I go fix up some breakfast in bed. Oh!" She skipped over to her bedside table, picking up a small bottle of antibacterial hand gel and tossing it to him. "Not sure how hygienic it is to be touching that stick right before eating breakfast."
