It was date night and Amy and Sheldon were drinking tea and watching a documentary about koalas at Sheldons apartment. Amy's birthday was about a month and a half ago and she was worried. She was late. Normally she wouldn't be concerned because it was quite common for her to be over a week late. This time it was different. If this would have happened last month, she wouldn't have even considered being pregnant, but because her birthday was a month and a half ago and she and Sheldon FINALLY got physical that day, she couldn't stop thinking about her situation. She was very quiet and Sheldon knew something was wrong. He just didn't know how to ask her about it. Finally he decided that he would just ask her.
"Amy?" Asked Sheldon but didn't get an answer.
"Are you okay Amy?" Sheldon asked his girlfriend and stopped the documentary.
"W-what?" Amy asked. She clearly had something in mind.
"I asked if you were okay." Said Sheldon with a concerned face.
"Im fine." Answered Amy untruthfully and she knew Sheldon didn't believe her. She sipped some tea to hide her blushing face.
"I know you are lying so could you please just tell me what's on your mind, I think I could really help you." Said Sheldon.
"I um…" Amy started and Sheldon just looked at her with a questioning face.
"I think I should go." She said, got up, took her purse and left the apartment. She couldn't think straight. She needed to talk to someone and Penny was the only one she could think of at the moment. She knocked on the door of 4B and waited for a few seconds. When the door opened she was facing a tried looking Penny. She also saw Leonard in the background with a wine glass on his hand. Amy couldn't hold her tears and started balling like a baby. Penny didn't know what to do so she just hugged her and told Leonard silently to leave. And he did. Penny walked to the couch while holding Amys hand. Amy sat on it and stared to the wall in front of her while tears were streaming down her face. Penny offered her wine and before she could think about it, she took the glass and drunk half of the red liquid. When she realized what she was doing, she panicked and ran to the bathroom to throw up. Penny followed her and looked at her very concerned. When Amy was done, she got up and washed hr face with cold water.
"Amy sweetie, are you okay?" Penny asked and the only answer she got was Amy shaking her head.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Penny asked.
"Im not sure." Amy said quietly.
"Lets go to the living room and talk, okay?" Penny said and Amy nodded her head.
"Firstly, why did you come her, date night shouldn't be over yet?" Penny started when they sat down at the couch again.
"I couldn't be at Sheldon's anymore." Amy said.
"What did he do now?" Asked Penny and sounded very annoyed.
"He didn't do anything, kind of…" Amy said very quietly.
"Kind of?" Penny asked confused.
"You know what happened on my birthday." Amy said but couldn't look penny in the eyes.
"Yeah I do." penny said smiling and continued:
"we really need to have a girls night, Bernadette and I want to know details"
"Well we can continue talking about it some other day but I need to say one minor detail about the subject." Amy said seriously.
"Okay, but if you are going to tell anything about the size or anything like that, I'm going to stop you right there, not because I don't want to know, I really do, but Bernadette should be here to hear it as well." Said Penny and laughed. She clearly had been drinking, but not too much.
"No, its not like that, but it is related to his, well, you know, downstairs" Amy said and smiled a little bit, but got serious again. Penny looked at Amy and she continued:
"we kind of forgot to do one thing" Amy said and hoped that Penny would realize what she was talking about. She didn't, and Amy thought that even penny can't be that stupid without drinking.
"We didn't remember protection!" Amy blurted out and blushed.
"Amy please don't say that you are…" Penny said and looked shocked.
"I don't know yet." Amy said and her eyes started to tear up again.
"Oh Amy, I have an extra pregnancy test if you want to know now." Said Penny and got up.
"That would be great, thanks. You are an amazing friend Penny, I just want you to know that." Amy said and smiled at Penny who started walking towards the bathroom.
"Are you late or do you have any symptoms?" Penny asked from the bathroom.
"I'm about a week late and my breasts are killing me." Amy said and shifted uncomfortably to release her breasts from her bra to ease the pain. Then Penny got back from the bathroom and gave the little white stick to Amy who had moved to her bedroom.
"Do you know how to do it?" She asked Amy who answered:
" I think so, pee here and wait for a few minutes for the result. One line means not pregnant and two pregnant." Amy said and tears started to form again.
"Dont cry sweetie, I'm here for you what ever happens, okay?" Penny said and hugged her best friend.
"Okay." Amy said and walked to the bathroom. She took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror. A few minutes passed and penny saw the door opening. She looked at Amy and asked:
"What does it say?"
"I don't know, I can't look at it." Amy said. She was holding a ball of toilet paper and penny knew what was inside of it.
"Give it to me." Penny said and took the ball of paper. She opened it and looked at the test inside. It was very clearly positive. She took a brave face and looked at Amy who was about to cry.
"Its positive." Penny said quietly and hugged Amy who was shaking uncontrollably.
"Don't worry sweetie, you are going to be just fine. You are going to be great mom." She said truthfully.
"I know I'm going to survive, somehow, but this just is not a great time for a baby and I dont know what Sheldon is going to say. How can someone be so stupid to get pregnant first time she ever does it!" Amy said and tears started wetting Pennys shirt. They both went to the kitchen and Amy sat on the stool while penny took a big swig of vodka that she found.
"Sweetie you need to tell Sheldon about this, or we are never going to know how he reacts. And neither of you are stupid, it was just a stupid mistake." Penny said and took another swig.
"I know, but what am I going to say?" Amy asked and looked at penny with red eyes.
"I dont know, but you'll figure it out. Do you want to tell him now or later. Its not his bed time yet." Penny said and smiled.
"I guess its now or never." Amy said, stood up and walked to the door.
"Oh and please don't tell anyone about this, I want to be the one who tells people" she said and looked at a very drunk Penny.
"Good luck and my ups are sealed!" Penny yelled at Amy who was already out of the apartment. She knocked on the door and a very concerned looking Sheldon opened it.
"Leonard do you mind going to Penny's?" Amy asked.
"First I'm kicked out of there and now here! why can't I tay anywhere I want?!" Leonard said angrily and stormed to Pennys apartment.
"Why did you leave?" Sheldon asked and saw that Amy had been crying. He invited her in and closed the door behind her.
"I needed to talk to someone and also do something." Amy said and looked down at her feet.
"You know you can always talk to me." Sheldon said and sat on his spot. Amy followed his example and sat on the couch next to him.
"I know. Sheldon I need to tell you something but you have to promise not to freak out, because I'm kind of freaking out and I really need your support." Amy said and looked at his boyfriend.
"I promise not to freak out, please just tell me what are you talking about" Sheldon said and rubbed Amys thigh.
"Sheldon, do you remember the bight of my birthday?" Amy started.
"Of course I do, I have an eidetic memory. And I could never forget something so amazing." Sheldon said and Amy rolled her eyes but also smiled at the last comment.
"Do you remember forgetting something?" Amy asked and got serious again.
"No, I dont." Sheldon admitted.
"Well, we forgot to use protection." Amy said quietly.
"I guess we did." Sheldon said and clearly didn't realize what was going on.
"Sheldon, Im pregnant." Amy blurted out and looked at her feet again.
"W-what?" Asked Sheldon who was obviously shocked.
"You heard me." Amy said and started crying what felt like the millionth time that evening.
"Are you sure?" Sheldon asked and she saw that his brain was working very hard to process the news.
"Yes, I'm sure." Amy said and finally looked at Sheldon's beautiful blue eyes.
"Well then, I think it is time celebrate." Sheldon said after a long but not awkward silence.
"Are you sure? A baby is a very big responsibility and I don't know if we are ready for that yet." Amy said kind of shocked at Sheldons reaction.
"I know it a great responsibility, but we are both adults, even though I might not seem like one, but I know I've always wanted kids. I never knew how I was going to get them, but then I met you and I knew you were going to be the mother of my children. I know its not the best time but with our wonderful brains and the help of our friends, I'm sure we can do this." Sheldon answered very happily.
"Okay then, I guess we have some news to tell to our friends and family." Amy said very happily and hugged her boyfriend.
"My mother is not going to be happy about this." Sheldon said but also smiled. He could not care about anything that small when he knows a little baby, especially his baby was on the way. Nothing could ever take the happiness from him.
