A/N: All Chapters will take the approach of being named after 2 subjects that are prominent in the chapter. Our action Begins here as the guys watch the Villanova North Carolina game from Monday Night. Enjoy.

1: Basketball and Anime.

April 4, 2016

"Ok, does anyone else find it odd that the game is now on cable?"

"Not necessarily, they already moved the final four on to cable and the other major college games were already on ESPN. It makes sense to keep the major sports on network and college on cable."

"Raj, they're not going to put the Super Bowl on ESPN it's the most watched event in the country."

Leonard's quip was the sour point as the guys sat down and did something rare for them, watch college basketball. Of course for them with the impending arrival of Howard's first born Sheldon saw this as an alternative.

"Are you guys taking this all in?"

"What now Sheldon," Howards sarcasm sounded obvious enough for Sheldon to get it but although he did, he kept his point up.

"I know that was sarcastic, but this isn't. With your newborn due in a few months, this could be one of the last times it's just the four of us."

Leonard sighed as he once again prepared to defend against Sheldon's views.

"Sheldon, you don't know that for sure."

"I do know that children that don't have their dads around usually end up not making the best decisions especially if he has a girl. Case in point me after I turned 14."

Raj laughed that off in amazement. "Other than building an illegal nuclear reactor what else bad could you have possible done."

"Raj by the time I'd be done explaining we'd miss One Shining Moment. My point is Howard is going to be limited in how much time away from Bernadette and his boy/girl he'll be able to get so he needs to savor this while he can. "

The group laughed that off while they sat back down and watched the game. Nearly an hour later while the guys loaded up on drinks Sheldon brought up another point.

"Now Howard, have you and Bernadette discussed the coma scenario?"

"Coma?"

"In the event that either you or Bernadette would have something happen to either of you after the baby is born would you want that baby to be raised singlehandedly or sent to your relatives?"

Howard growled hard at Sheldon. "How dare you think I couldn't raise my own child."

Leonard rushed by his best friends' side to block him in case of an attack. "He was not insinuating that at all." Then turned and looked at him hesitantly. "Were you?"

"Not at all, my point is you were already discussing worst case scenario plans were you."

"Like I would make you and Amy Godparents of my child."

Raj repeated the same motion when Sheldon looked ready to charge at Howard. "Guys do we really have to do this now. I mean remember back 9 years ago before Penny moved in and it was just us."

The guys went into flashback mode thinking about all the times they had. Whatever hostilities they had slowly faded as they sunk back into their spots and just watched the game. Sheldon now calmed and collective brought up an apology.

"Howard, I'm sorry for bringing this up, just a show's been stuck on my mind that made me think of this."

"Well, what show is that?"

"An anime called A Lull in The Sea. Where a group of friends who have been together for a long time end up going into a 5 year coma. All but one of them end up remaining awake and end up going through their life while the others don't age at all. 5 years later the rest of the group slowly wakes up and has to deal with the changes brought forth."

Leonard sighed in amazement. "Well what does that have to do with Howard?"

"My concern is…"If you ended up in a coma could you deal with missing out on seeing your child grow up would you be willing to face Bernadette or if she meets someone else be willing to accept your situation and move on?"

The others went silent at the notion of thinking how an accident would change the group more than Howard and Bernadette's forthcoming offspring would. Until Leonard brought up a really good point.

"Sheldon, You sure this isn't Castaway?"

Sheldon remained silent until the game managed to catch a familiar person in the stand.

"Is that Michael Jordan?"

As the rest of the guys noticed the night ended up passing by with no other problems.
