Howard sat the breakfast table with his heavily pregnant wife Bernardette and turned over the embossed invitation card.
Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler wish to invite Mr. Howard Wolowitz and Dr. Bernardette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz to their wedding celebration. RSVP.
Well Bernie, they are finally going to do it. I never thought I would see the day that we got an invitation to Sheldon's wedding!
That's right Mr. Wolowitz, I hope we can take an extra guest with us, I am not sure I can face being pregnant for too much longer.
OK, time to go to work, call me if you need anything.

Later that morning Howard got a call from his astronaut comrade Mike Massimino.
Hello Loops.
Hi Mike.
How is that wonderful wife of yours?
She is very big. Not long now until the baby is born.
Howard, I am not calling to talk about babies, NASA has a proposition for you. We are going to collaborate with Rice University in a research programme on the design of future spacecraft components. We need an astronaut and engineer to join the programme and you are the obvious candidate.
Sounds interesting, what will this entail?
Well you will have to spend one week every three months in Texas, but you will get a raise in pay. We need to clear this with Caltech but we want to ask you first.
When will this start?
In the new year, we aren't going to take you away from your wife at the moment.
OK, I will discuss with with Bernie tonight.
Great, thanks for your time Loops, good luck with the baby.
