Sheldon gets a daughter
Chapter 1
" Do you Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler take Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper to be your husband, to love and respect, through sickness and health, for good times and bad times as long as you both shall live?", the pastor asked.
" I do.", Amy said with a smile as she gazed into Sheldon's eyes as they stood at the alter.
" And do you Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper take Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler to be your wife, to love and respect, through sickness and health, for good times and bad times as long as you both shall live?", the pastor asked.
" I do.", Sheldon said with a smile as he looked at Amy.
" Then by the power vested in me by the state of California I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride!", the pastor said. Everyone cheered as Sheldon and Amy kissed each other. After the reception the newlyweds left for their honeymoon.
" Finally, we're here!", Sheldon exclaimed as he opened the door to their hotel room and dragged their luggage inside.
" Sheldon are you forgetting something?", Amy asked as she stood in the doorway.
" Oh that's preposterous, I never forget anything Amy! I have an eidetic memory!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" I'll give you a couple hints. Bride? Threshold?", Amy said motioning her fingers.
" Oh yes! How could I ever forget that?!", Sheldon exclaimed as he picked up Amy and carried her into the room before setting her down on the bed.
" This is amazing. You and I are finally husband and wife.", Sheldon said.
" I know, it's exhilarating. What do you think we should do?", Amy asked.
" I think I know.", Sheldon said as he shut the door and closed the drapes before he kissed Amy. The two then engaged in coitus with each other.
" I love you Amy.", Sheldon said.
" I love you too Sheldon.", Amy said. They continued having sex with each other without a care in the world. Then a month later after their honeymoon Amy began feeling some strange symptoms that she had never experienced before. These symptoms were slightly different from her normal menstrual cycle but she didn't really think anything of it. However, she decided to talk to Penny and Bernadette about it to get a second opinion about what was going on with her.
" Wait, you've been having some weird symptoms lately Amy?", Penny asked.
" Yeah, it's weird Penny. I've noticed that I've been tired a lot more than usual, I've had frequent headaches, I've been going to the bathroom constantly and I've had nausea to the point where I felt like throwing up.", Amy said.
" Wow, that is weird.", Penny said.
" Well Amy have you ever considered the fact that you might be pregnant?", Bernadette asked.
" I haven't really thought of that Bernadette but I guess it's a possibility. I'm just worry how Sheldon would react if I am pregnant.", Amy said.
" Oh Amy if you are pregnant I'm sure he'll be really happy. If not, I'll go all Junior Rodeo on his ass.", Penny said.
" Yeah but I still don't know what I should do.", Amy said.
" Well how about this, we take you to the store and you pick up a few pregnancy tests.", Penny said.
" Alright, but I'm still nervous about the whole situation.", Amy said. They went to the store and picked up four pregnancy tests. When they got back to Bernadette and Howard's apartment Penny asked, " You want to take the tests now or later Amy?"
" I guess I'll take them now Penny. There's no use in me waiting to take them at my place considering the fact it might ruin a surprise if I am pregnant. Hand me the cup.", Amy said as she took out the four boxes from the plastic bag. Penny handed her the plastic cup and watched Amy take the items into the bathroom. Amy opened all 4 boxes and took out the tests laying them out on the sink counter before urinating into the cup. Then she quickly dipped each end of the stick into the cup before placing the caps back on them and placed them back on the counter. Then she walked out of the bathroom to wait for the results.
" Did you take them?", Bernadette asked.
" Yeah I did. Now I'm just waiting for the results.", Amy said.
" This is so exciting!", Penny exclaimed.
" Yeah but don't get too excited yet Penny. We don't know for sure if I'm pregnant. For all we know they could be negative.", Amy said.
" Yeah but they could be positive too. We won't know until we see the results.", Bernadette said.
" Well maybe the results are ready now. Do you want to go look Amy?", Penny asked.
" I'm really scared to.", Amy said.
" Well that's ok, how about Bernadette and I go look at them first?", Penny asked.
" Ok.", Amy said. The two women went into the bathroom to look at the results of the pregnancy tests that Amy took. Their mouths completely dropped open by what they saw. They couldn't believe it.
" Holy crap on a cracker!", Penny exclaimed.
" Amy get the hell in here!", Bernadette exclaimed.
" What?! What is it?!", Amy exclaimed as she ran in.
" Look at all 4 tests!", Penny exclaimed as she pointed at them. Amy looked at them and low and behold all 4 of them had two lines which meant they were positive. Amy was pregnant.
" Oh my god! I'm pregnant!", Amy exclaimed as she began to cry.
" Amy are you ok?!", Penny exclaimed.
" No! I don't know what I'm going to tell Sheldon! I'm afraid he's going to be really upset!", Amy cried.
" What are you talking about?! He's going to be really happy!", Bernadette exclaimed.
" Yeah, he's your husband! Why wouldn't he be?!", Penny exclaimed.
" Sheldon doesn't seem to be the type of person that would have the patience for a child! I'm afraid that if I tell him he's going to be really upset and leave me!", Amy cried.
" Amy listen to me, Sheldon would never do that to you! He loves you and I'm sure he'll love the baby too!", Penny exclaimed.
" Are you sure?!", Amy cried.
" Yes! Amy this baby is a blessing! I know you're going to be a great mother!", Penny exclaimed.
" Thanks bestie!", Amy cried as she threw her arms around Penny.
Later at Sheldon and Amy's apartment…
" Sheldon I have something to tell you but you may or may not like it.", Amy said to her husband.
" Well that depends. What is it?", Sheldon asked.
" Well I was talking to Penny and Bernadette today about all the weird symptoms I've been having lately and I found out something that I'm kind of afraid to tell you.", Amy said.
" Amy, what is it? Just tell me.", Sheldon said.
" Ok, here it goes. Sheldon, I'm pregnant.", Amy said with a sigh.
" What?!", Sheldon asked.
" I'm pregnant.", Amy said.
" You're… you're serious? You're pregnant?", Sheldon asked.
" Yeah I'm pretty sure. I took 4 tests and they all said the same thing.", Amy said as she showed him the 4 positive tests. Sheldon stared at them with wide eyes before he passed out on the floor.
" Sheldon?! You ok?! Say something!", Amy exclaimed as she began shaking her husband's shoulder trying to get him to wake up but to no avail. When he finally came to Amy braced herself for what she thought was going to come but instead received an entirely different reaction. Sheldon suddenly shot up from the floor and ran around the apartment letting out an exhilarated scream much like the one he let out when Howard gave his paper to Stephen Hawking. Sheldon was actually really happy that he was going to be a father. Amy recorded a voice memo of it with her phone.
The next day...
" So did you tell him?", Penny asked.
" Yeah I did.", Amy said.
" What was his reaction?", Bernadette asked.
" He was thrilled!", Amy exclaimed.
" Really?!", Penny and Bernadette exclaimed.
" Yeah I recorded a voice memo of it with my phone.", Amy said.
" Let's hear it!", Penny and Bernadette exclaimed. Amy played the memo and the three women let out excited screams.
" What is going on here? What are you excited about?", Leonard asked as he walked into the room.
" We're excited about Sheldon's reaction!", Penny exclaimed.
" Reaction to what?", Leonard asked.
" To Amy being pregnant!", Bernadette exclaimed.
" Amy's pregnant?!", Leonard exclaimed.
" Yeah I am Leonard! I found out yesterday after I took 4 tests!", Amy exclaimed.
" Amy that's great! Congratulations!", Leonard exclaimed.
" Thanks!", Amy exclaimed. Amy eventually told Howard, Raj and Stuart about her pregnancy and they congratulated her too. 20 weeks into Amy's pregnancy Sheldon and Amy found out the gender of their baby when Amy went in for another ultrasound.
" It's a little girl.", the OBG YN said when she moved the little wand around on Amy's stomach.
" We're having a daughter Amy!", Sheldon exclaimed. Amy just cried happy tears. She was completely over-joyed to be having a daughter.
" So, what's the gender of the baby?", Howard asked when Sheldon and Amy came walking out of the room.
" It's a girl!", Sheldon and Amy exclaimed.
" Yay!", the others cheered. Amy's pregnancy was smooth-sailing and at the end of the 9 months on a Friday night Amy gave birth to a healthy baby girl who Sheldon and Amy named Julia Rene Cooper. Julia was a very beautiful full-term baby that weighed 7 lbs 24 oz.
" Aww let's see her! She's so cute! Hi Julia, it's your Auntie Penny!", Penny cooed as she held Julia. Julia gave her a little smile.
" Your Uncle Leonard is here too!", Leonard cooed as he gently tickled Julia's tummy making her giggle a little. They all took turns holding the baby and celebrated. They were so happy that she was finally here. Sheldon called his mother to tell her that Amy had the baby and that she was here perfectly healthy. Mrs. Cooper then said she was on her way to meet her granddaughter.
" Oh Shelly she's beautiful! Thank you Lord for giving me a grandchild!", Mrs. Cooper exclaimed when she showed and picked up Julia. Then she asked, " What's her name?"
" Julia.", Sheldon and Amy said.
" Oh that's beautiful!", Mrs. Cooper said.
3 years later…
" What do you mean you can't make it Tammy?! My husband and I have to leave for work and we have no one else to watch Julia!", Amy screamed on the phone at the babysitter.
" I'm really sorry Amy but I have a family emergency that suddenly came up. My brother just got injured in a motorcycle accident.", Tammy apologetically said.
" Really?! Alright, well, I guess we'll just have to figure something else out. I hope your brother is ok. bye.", Amy said. Then she slammed the phone down on the counter and shouted, " D*mn it!"
" Amy what are you upset about?", Sheldon asked.
" The babysitter can't make it Sheldon because apparently her brother got injured in a motorcycle accident! We have to go to work and we have no else to watch Julia! All of our friends are going to work too!", Amy frustratingly said.
" Well calm down Amy, we'll figure this out! Did you call a daycare?!", Sheldon asked.
" Yes I did before I called the babysitter but there's no openings! They're all full!", Amy frustratingly said.
" Well then I guess Julia is going to have to come with us to Caltech.", Sheldon said.
" Well then she's staying in your office with you Sheldon because I can't have her running around my lab! There's too many dangerous chemicals and sharp objects in there that can really hurt her and I don't want people at the university thinking I'm a terrible mother for letting our 3 year old daughter get hurt!", Amy exclaimed.
" That's exactly what I was going to say.", Sheldon said.
" Cut the chit chat Sheldon and let's get ready to go!", Amy hissed.
" Alright!", Sheldon shot back at his wife as he walked down the hallway to his daughter's room. As he was picking up a few of his daughter's toys and stuffing them into his shoulder bag Amy called out from the living room, " Make sure you grab a few diapers and some other things she may need too!"
" I'm already doing that!", Sheldon shot back as he grabbed a few diapers out from under the changing table and stuffed them in as well as some latex gloves, baby powder and wipes. He then turned his attention toward his daughter's crib. Julia was standing up against the wall of the crib gripping her little hands on the bars in front of her. She was rocking back and forth on her little heels as a smile spread across her face.
" What are you doing Julia? Are you trying to be funny?", Sheldon cooed as he stood there staring at his 3 year old daughter.
" Daddy!", Julia exclaimed in the cutest little voice. She had just begun to talk right around the same time she had begun to walk when she was just 2 and a half years old.
" Come here, we're going to go bye bye!", Sheldon cooed as he reached down and picked up his daughter out of her crib.
" Yay bye bye!", Julia exclaimed as she clapped her little hands together. Sheldon slung his shoulder bag over his shoulder before he carried his daughter out of the room. Once at Caltech, Julia was sitting on the floor in her little playpen playing with some of her toys next to Sheldon's desk as Sheldon was standing in front of his whiteboard doing his work. As he was solving his equations he kept periodically glancing down at his daughter to see what she was doing. Julia was currently shaking a ring of plastic colorful keys giggling happily while stuffing them in her mouth. She then dropped them out of her mouth and when she picked them back up to put them in her mouth again Sheldon exclaimed, " Oh no no no, Julia don't put those back in your mouth! That's completely unsanitary!"
" Unsanitary?!", Julia asked as she stared at her father. Her eyes got as big as saucers.
" Yes, unsanitary. Here, give them to daddy for a second.", Sheldon said as he stood over his daughter. Julia handed the plastic keys to her father who then wiped them down with a Lysol wipe before he handed them back to her.
" Whatcha doing daddy?", Julia asked.
" Daddy's working. He's solving physics equations.", Sheldon said.
" What's physics?", Julia asked.
" Physics is a form of science.", Sheldon said.
" Is mommy into science too?", Julia asked.
" Yes she is. She's a neurobiologist.", Sheldon said as he continued working.
" And you're a physicist?", Julia asked.
" Yes I'm a theoretical physicist.", Sheldon said.
" Yay, daddy's smart!", Julia exclaimed. Then her expression changed and she said, " Uh oh."
" What is it Julia? Did you pee?", Sheldon asked.
" Yes.", Julia solumnly said.
" Well then I guess it's time to change your diaper.", Sheldon said as he went into his bag and pulled out a changing pad, a clean diaper, a pair of latex gloves and the bottle of baby powder. He set these items on the floor before he turned to his daughter and said, " Ok come here you little princess. Let's lay you down." He picked her up out of the playpen and laid her down on the changing pad. He then pulled on the latex gloves.
" That tickles daddy!", Julia giggled as she squirmed a little when Sheldon started unbuttoning her shorts.
" I know it does but just hold still.", Sheldon said as he pulled off her shorts before removing the diaper.
" Why do I still wear diapers?", Julia asked.
" Because you're not potty trained yet Julia. We don't want you wetting yourself all over the furniture. Someday when you learn to use the potty you can stop wearing them.", Sheldon said. He wiped her clean and sprinkled powder on her before he put the fresh diaper on her. Sheldon then put her shorts back on her and rebuttoned them.
" There you go. All clean Julia.", Sheldon said as he picked her up and put everything back into his bag. Julia then let out a yawn.
" I think someone needs a nap now.", Sheldon said.
" No nap!", Julia protested.
" Yes, it's nap time.", Sheldon said. Julia started to get a little fussy so Sheldon sat down in his office chair with her and began rocking his body back and forth singing Soft Kitty to her.
" Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, pur pur pur.", Sheldon sang as he held his daughter in his arms and lap. Julia stopped crying moments later and fell asleep. Sheldon then carefully picked her up and carried her over to her playpen. He gently laid her down on her nap mat before covering her with a blanket. As he went back to work, his assistant Alex suddenly walked into his office.
" I'm really sorry if I'm disturbing you Dr. Cooper. I just came to put some files away in the cabinet.", Alex said.
" Oh just go right ahead Alex but try not to make too much noise.", Sheldon said in a low tone before he turned back to his board. Alex nodded her head before walking toward the filing cabinet. She tried opening it as quietly as possible but it still made some sounds causing Julia to shift position. Sheldon stared at Alex.
" Sorry.", Alex quietly said gritting her teeth together as she put the files away and quietly shut the cabinet. Then she looked down at Julia and quietly asked, " Is she your daughter?"
" Yes she is. She's taking a nap right now.", Sheldon quietly said.
" Aww, that's so cute. How old is she?", Alex quietly asked.
" She's 3.", Sheldon quietly said.
" Well I think she looks adorable.", Alex quietly said.
" Thank you.", Sheldon quietly said.
" What's her name?", Alex quietly asked.
" Her name is Julia.", Sheldon quietly said.
" Aww that's such cute name for such a precious little girl.", Alex quietly said.
" Thank you.", Sheldon quietly said.
" You're welcome, anyway I'm going to go. Thank you so much Dr. Cooper.", Alex quietly said. Then she whispered, "Bye Julia." before she walked out. Sheldon went back to work but was interrupted again this time by Barry Kripke. Kripke was inadvertantly being a little loud when he said something to Sheldon so Sheldon hissed at him telling him to keep his voice down but Kripke ended up waking Julia up anyway making her cry which made Sheldon upset.
" Oh now look what you did Kripke, you just woke up my daughter! I had just got her down for a nap and now you ruined it!", Sheldon scolded Kripke as Julia wailed.
" Well sworry bwut why is ywour dwaughter in ywour office anyway?", Kripke snidely asked.
" Because the babysitter cancelled and Amy and I had no one else to watch her!", Sheldon hissed.
" Why nwot jwust dwrop her off at a dwaycare?", Kripke snidely asked.
" Get out Kripke!", Sheldon hissed at him as he picked up his daughter who continued to wail. As Kripke left Sheldon tried to cease Julia's crying by triyng to gently rock her but when that didn't work he went into his shoulder bag and pulled out her pacifire. He stuck it in her mouth which ceased her crying immediately as she started sucking on it. Julia then fell back asleep so Sheldon then placed her back on her nap mat before returning to his work. Then a few minutes later he decided to take his lunch break. Seeing that his daughter was still napping he decided to risk going to the cafeteria and quietly locked up his office door. 20 minutes later when he came walking back to his office this time talking to Howard he unlocked the door and the two men walked to see Julia standing behind Sheldon's desk holding an open dry erase marker in her hand. She had drawn on her face with it which caused Sheldon to scream a little.
" Hi daddy!", Julia exclaimed with a smile on her face.
" Oh Jewish hell.", Howard said.
" Julia what did you do?!", Sheldon exclaimed in a rising panic as he looked at his daughter.
" I drew a cat on my face!", Julia exclaimed as she began to laugh.
" Well I can see that! Julia this is completely dangerous, you don't draw on your skin with these! Come here!", Sheldon panically said as he then wiped his daughter's face with a Lysol wipe.
" I'm funny!", Julia laughed.
" Yes you are but unfortunately what you did is not! If your mother saw this she'd flip a cow at me!", Sheldon said.
" Mommy get mad at daddy?", Julia asked.
" Yes your mother would get mad at me if she saw what I'd let you get into.", Sheldon said as he finished wiping Julia's face off.
" Uncle Howard!", Julia exclaimed when she saw Howard standing there and ran up to him.
" Yes hi Julia.", Howard said.
" Did you see what I did?!", Julia asked.
" Yes I did and apparently your daddy didn't appreciate it.", Howard said.
Later that evening in the middle of the night Julia woke up in her crib crying. Her diaper was wet and it was making her feel uncomfortable. Amy and Sheldon woke up when they heard her crying coming from the baby monitor next to their bed.
" Sheldon I got this. Go back to sleep.", Amy whispered as she climbed out of the bed and walked out of the room to Julia's room leaving Sheldon to fall back asleep.
" What's wrong Julia? Mommy's here.", Amy cooed as she flipped the light on.
" I'm wet mommy!", Julia cried as she sat up in her crib.
" Oh you need a fresh diaper? Ok come here princess.", Amy said as she picked her daughter up and carried her over to the changing table before laying her down on it. She removed Julia's soiled diaper, wiped her clean and noticed there was some redness around her daughter's private area so she applied some diaper rash cream on those areas before sprinkling powder on her and putting a fresh diaper on her.
" There is that better?", Amy asked. Julia cooed happily as she nodded her head.
" Alright good night sweetheart. I love you.", Amy said as she placed Julia back in her crib.
" Good night love you too mommy.", Julia said as she drifted off back to sleep. Amy shut the light off and walked out.
" What was wrong with Julia?", Sheldon whispered.
" She just needed her diaper changed.", Amy whispered as she climbed back into the bed.
" Well I could have done that Amy.", Sheldon whispered.
" You've been taking care of her all day and you've already done it deserve a short break Sheldon.", Amy whispered.
" Well alright if you say so. But the next time she cries I'm handling it.", Sheldon whispered before going back to sleep.
" Fair enough. Good night Sheldon.", Amy whispered before she too went back to sleep.
The next day while the guys were at Caltech, Amy took Julia with her to go shopping with Penny and Bernadette. As the three women were looking through clothes racks just talking to each other Julia's eyes fixated on a television set that was sitting on a counter behind the check out counter. The current program had ended and the game show Jeopardy was coming on.
" This is Jeopardy!", Julia exclaimed in the cutest little voice as she imitated the voice on the tv throwing her little hands in the air on that last part. The three women stared at her and as Bernadette started laughing Amy began to smirk as she stared at her 3 year old daughter.
" Did Julia seriously just imitate that Amy?!", Penny exclaimed as she began to smirk as well.
" Yeah I think she did Penny! Julia what are you doing you silly goose?!", Amy exclaimed.
" Imitating tv!", Julia exclaimed clapping her hands together.
" Is she your daughter?", a store clerk asked as he stood behind the counter.
" Yes she's my daughter sir.", Amy said.
" Well she's just adorable.", the clerk said.
" Oh thank you.", Amy said with a smile.
" How old is she?", the clerk asked.
" She is 3 years old.", Amy said. As the conversation continued Julia's attention was suddenly caught by the music playing in the store on the radio. Surprisingly the song that suddenly came on was Glamorous by the Kidz Bop Kids. Julia stood there for a moment before she began moving her body from side to side as if she was dancing clapping her little hands together to the beat of the song. A little smile spread across her face.
" Oh my god, Amy, look!", Penny exclaimed when she noticed what Julia was doing.
" What is it Penny?! Aww!", Amy exclaimed when she turned to look at her daughter. Julia was singing a little bit too.
" That is just so adorable!", Bernadette exclaimed as she began to tear up.
" I have to show this to Sheldon!", Amy exclaimed as she took out her cell phone and recorded video of what her daughter was doing. She couldn't wait to show her husband this.
" Show it to Sheldon my a**! Move over!", Penny exclaimed as she began recording with her phone too.
" Hey don't swear in front of my daughter!", Amy exclaimed.
" Yeah what the hell is wrong with you?!", Bernadette exclaimed as she started recording too.
" Bernie!", Amy exclaimed.
