A week had passed and Penny sat at a small table for two in a locally owned coffee shop with Bernadette. She was cut from her Saturday morning shift at work because it was so dead, so she invited Bernadette out for coffee. She sipped on her caramel latte as Bernadette nursed her caffeine free herbal tea. They had been chatting for ten minutes about school and work when Penny changed the subject.
"So, how are things at Casa de Walowitz?" Penny asked. She was so thankful that Howard had Bernadette in his life to keep him in line. Bernadette smiled and nervously played with the sleeve that wrapped around her disposable cup.
"Well, things are going really good. We've been busy lately, we just repainted the living room and the second bedroom. Howie doesn't like the color of the bedroom, but he thinks it will grow on him once we can add more color to it." She said. Penny twisted her hair in her fingers.
"What color is the living room?" She asked. Bernadette thought about how to describe it.
"It's kind of like a smoky blue. It's called Blue Fox." She said with a smile. Penny smiled warmly back.
"And the spare room?" She asked. Bernadette smiled and a flush of rose tinted her cheeks.
"It's kind of a light grey. It's called Sweet Vanilla. I also wouldn't exactly call it a spare room." She said with a cheeky grin. Penny furrowed her brow at her friend. Suddenly it hit her. Her eyes grew wide and she gasped.
"Oh my God! You're pregnant?" She said almost shouting. Bernadette laughed and nodded her head. Penny stood up and hugged her friend. Bernadette gave Penny a squeeze before letting her go. Penny sat back down and unconsciously kept looking at her friend's stomach.
"How far along are you?" She excitedly asked. She knew that her friend looked different, she looked really good. Penny thought it was a haircut, but it was pregnancy glow.
"I'm just over three months. It was totally unexpected, and I wasn't too pleased at first, but now I'm kind of excited. We talked about things and even though I'm terrified, I will have Howie by my side, so it makes things less terrifying." She said with a small laugh. She thought she was dead set against having kids, but once she thought about the life growing inside of her, she came around.
"Oh wow! That's so crazy! Bernadette, you're going to be a mom!" Penny cried. She got a little weepy and took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Bernadette beamed and held her belly.
"So how are things going with the good Doctor, Mrs. Cooper?" Bernadette teased. Penny blushed. She had to admit that she didn't mind being called Mrs. Cooper.
"Oh, y'know, things are going. I like where we are right now, it's serious, but not overwhelming. I've never been this committed to someone before." Penny replied. She was slightly worried about going past the point of no return.
"So no marriage plans for the two of you?" Bernadette asked. Penny shook her head. There was definitely no planning going on.
"No, I just don't know if that's something that he wants. I mean, he has his career and it means everything to him. I don't want to have him feel like I'm pressuring him and have him freak out." She confessed. The truth was, she had been thinking about it a lot lately. She couldn't seem to get the notion of marrying Sheldon out of her head.
"And besides, how would I even bring it up to him? 'Hey Sheldon, how about that science? Wanna get married?'" Penny said defeated. She knew it would be too much for him, so she would keep reserved about the subject until he chose to bring it up. Bernadette smiled.
"I think that you just need to tell him how you feel anyway. You never know, he might be inclined to hear out your argument." Bernadette said.
Penny sighed, she was right. If she didn't tell him, it would come out at the most inopportune time and it would probably not end well. They continued to chat about baby names, Bernadette's fear of having an ugly baby and Penny's imaginary wedding details.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Sheldon pulled the mail out of the box and sifted through it. His eyes lit up when he saw a letter addressed to him from his MeeMaw. He tossed the junk mail into the trash and quickly walked up the four flights of stairs to his apartment. He walked in and strode to the bedroom, excitedly opening the letter before reaching his room.
The box filled with his grandmother's letters hid under his bed. He pulled the box out from its hiding place and sat on his bed with his legs crossed. He took out the crisp white paper from the envelope and began to read.
My Dearest MoonPie,
I can't believe how much time has passed since I saw you last. I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. Switzerland must have been so exciting to visit. I am incredibly proud of you. Ever since you were a little boy, I always knew that you would do great things with what God gave you.
Since I received your letter, things have been a bit different around here. Missy started seeing a boy from your momma's church. He is good to her and she seems to like him a great deal. Missy brought him around twice for dinner. Georgie took what you said to him at Thanksgiving to heart. About a month after Christmas he checked himself into one of those facilities in the city. Your momma is doing well too. She has been working very hard and she's been praying for your brother.
I hope that Penny is doing well and that you are looking after her. She is someone very special and I am very happy that you are sharing your extraordinary life with her. You deserve nothing but the best and with her, I believe you are the best version of yourself.
MoonPie, I have included something very special in this letter. I want you to use it as you see fit. Your grandpappy would be so proud of the man you have become. I love you very much and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Please give my SweetPea a squeeze from me.
Love you forever,
MeeMaw xoxo
Sheldon smiled at his grandmother's written words. He was glad to hear about his brother finally getting help for his vices and he hoped that Missy was happy with her new boyfriend. He glanced over the letter one more time before peeking into the envelope.
A shiny white gold ring fell into his hand as he tipped the envelope over into his palm. He peered at the ring and realized it was his grandmother's engagement ring. It was a one carat blue topaz ring, with small diamonds in a channel setting along the band. The center stone was brilliant cut and surrounded by a halo of small diamonds. Sheldon smiled at his grandmother's gesture. The ring was truly a representation of both Sheldon and Penny, as her birthstone was topaz and blue topaz was the state gemstone of Texas.
The door to the bedroom opened and Penny walked in taking off her shirt. Sheldon grasped the ring in his fist and froze up when she turned toward him. Sheldon held his breath. She smiled when she saw the box of letters on their bed. She tossed her work shirt in her hamper and unzipped her skirt.
"My MeeMaw wants me to give you a hug for her." Sheldon quickly said as he gently placed the newest letter in the box with the others. Penny smiled and took off the rest of her work uniform. She placed her skirt in the same hamper as her shirt and stood in her pink cotton bra and panty set. Sheldon looked her over and smiled.
"That's so sweet, I miss your MeeMaw. I'm going to have a shower, do you want to join me?" She asked as she bit her lip at him and teasingly tugged on her bra straps. Sheldon's phone rang in his pocket. He shook his head and motioned for her to go on without him. He answered as she grabbed a towel from the back of the door and sauntered off to the bathroom.
"Hello?" He asked in a raspy voice. He heard the shower turn on and he opened his fist. The ring sat delicately in the palm of his hand.
"Hey Sheldon, it's Howard. Bernadette just got back from coffee with Penny and she told Bernadette that she isn't opposed to the idea of marriage, but she's not sure that you want to get married." Howard said. Sheldon smiled. He was glad to hear those words come out of his mouth.
"Thank you for the plethora of information Howard." Sheldon said as he played with the ring in his fingers. He would definitely have to discuss his intentions with Penny. He and Howard said goodbye and Sheldon got up to find a hiding place for the ring.
He bent down and opened the wall socket safe beside the dresser and stashed the ring in the novelty item that he purchased from the internet. He put the box filled with MeeMaw's letters back in its original hiding place under his bed.
Sheldon heard the shower turn off and Penny get out. She walked back into the bedroom in just a towel, holding her under garments in her hand. Sheldon wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the top of her head. He pulled away and looked into her green eyes. She smiled up at him and took off her towel. Sheldon watched as she casually put on a t-shirt and jeans. She rubbed her hair in the towel.
"Penny, would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" Sheldon asked. Penny smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist. She gave him a tight squeeze before she hung up her towel and walked out of the bedroom. Sheldon followed her out into the living room.
"Sheldon, I would love to go on a date with you. What did you have in mind?" She asked, turning around to face him. Sheldon's face ticked as he thought about his plans for her tonight.
"I want to keep it a secret." He replied quietly as he looked at the floor and clasped his hands behind his back. If she asked again, he would have to tell her. She nodded, all she wanted was a little hint, but she didn't want him to spill everything to her.
"I want you to meet me on the roof at 7:00 pm." He simply stated. She nodded.
"What should I wear?" She quickly asked. He thought about it for a moment.
"You can wear that, you'll probably want to bring a sweater." He replied. She rose up on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. She had a vague idea of what he had in store, but she would let him think that he was a man of mystery. Penny spent the rest of her lazy Saturday doing the laundry to Sheldon's specifications and she had a quick nap in the late afternoon.
