A/N - I am back with more! I wrote something like this ages ago, but decided to just start from scratch. Hope you enjoy! Inspired by a little idea from Greys Anatomy, reminded by watching The One With The Red Sweater :)

Walking into 4B, Leonard smiled fondly for a moment as he shut the door at the sight of Penny contentedly watching television. "Hey honey."

"Hey sweetie." Penny's eyes didn't even leave the screen as he walked straight through to the kitchen. "How was work?"

"Yeah, it was alright. Sheldon flipped out because while they advertised three different flavors of Jell-O, they only had two in the cafeteria."

"Still a Whackadoodle then, huh?"

"Yup." Leonard shook his head in disbelief at his friends antics as he poured himself an orange juice. "How was your day off?"

"Pretty good. Went to the mall, had lunch with Amy and Bernadette. Apparently Bernadette knocked over this vial of... something I can't remember over with her handbag on her way out, so she took an extra-long lunch break to make sure nobody worked out it was her."

"Did they?"

"Nah. She text me to say she acted suitably shocked when she returned at the news of the broken vial."

"As all the best microbiologists do." Leonard chuckled lightly, swirling what was left of his juice in his glass. His eyes landed on a gift bag on the counter, and he wondered if he had forgotten about a party they had to go to. "What's the gift bag for?" He asked, expecting her to remind him it was somebody's birthday.

Instead, she gave a small shrug. "You."

"Me?"

"Yeah."

"Uh... why?"

"I saw something I thought you'd like."

"Alright. Well, thanks. It's always nice to come home to a present!" Amused, he pulled the gift bag toward him. He found it odd that she'd thought to buy him something and put it in a gift bag, but seemed unbothered by it at the moment, still glued to the TV screen. Hadn't she seen that episode of Sex and the City like, fifty million times already? The dialogue seemed familiar even to him. "Shall I open it now?"

"If you want."

Hearing him tear off the little sticker that held the gift bag closed, Penny moved her thumb over to the 'off' button of the remote control on her hand. Raising her brows in anticipation, she listened to the silence as he took the object from the bag. She could practically hear him staring at it, and a grin spread across her face. Even imagining the expression on his face was exciting and filled her heart.

Eventually, Leonard recalled that he did have the ability to speak and read aloud. As if in synch, Penny shut off the television just as he opened his mouth. "I Love My Daddy?"

"Yes." Penny said steadily, smirking as she watched him in the reflection of the empty screen putting two and two together.

Slowly, he walked over to her, flopping down onto the couch, the yellow baby-grow from which he'd read the phrase aloud held between both hands. "I... this..."

"Uh-huh." Penny bit her lip as she turned, folding her legs beneath her. "Getting there, are ya, Doctor Hofstadter?"

"I... yeah." Leonard gulped. "You're-"

"Pregnant, yes, that baby-grow is meant for the baby, well done." Penny stifled back a giggle.

"Wow."

"I don't know why you're so shocked, considering the serious neglect of condoms and pills for like... a while. And the frequent sex. It's simple math, Leonard." Penny grinned, tapping his nose lightly.

"I know, but it's just... wow."

Dropping her hands to his, Penny's grin, if possible, widened. "Yeah, it kind of is, isn't it?"

"So we're... we're really having a baby?"

"I'm having the baby, technically, since you don't have to-"

"Penny!"

"Okay, okay, sorry." Penny stuck her tongue out between her teeth, unable to hide her excitement as she bounced up and down slightly atop her legs. "We're having a baby!" At this point, the anticipation of waiting all day since she'd taken the test in the morning the second he'd left for work finally getting its release, she all but launched herself at him, her lips covering his.

Just as it had been with meaning of the baby-grow, it took Leonard a few seconds before he worked out how she intended to celebrate.
