Beginning of June 2014
Amy took a deep breathe before she spoke, she led Sheldon over to the sofa and sat down with him and took his hands in hers
"Sheldon I love you and I am going to keep the baby, I don't think I could ever get rid of something that you helped to make and I would hate myself for doing so"
"I wouldn't have hated you if you had decided not to keep it" replied Sheldon
"You say that now but in any case, I am going to go ahead as long as you are ok with it? Asked Amy
"Of course, I wish you had spoken to me properly when you first found out, I was so worried"
"I know but in my defence, I had just received the most surprising news I had ever heard, I will be going back to the doctors tomorrow and for a scan, I just hope that everything is ok with the baby, I knows it's at a very early development so we might not be able to tell just yet"
"Why would there be anything wrong with the baby?
"Because of all the unusual sickness and not being able to keep much down, I think I probably lost weight last week over that"
"So now we need to tell our friends and family" said Sheldon excitedly getting his phone out
"Stop, not yet, I want to have the scan first, Sheldon I don't know if you realise just how scary this is for me, this was not in my time plan to have a baby right now and I just want to hold back before we tell the world, I know Missy, Leonard and Penny know but I don't want them to know for sure until after everything has been given the all clear" replied Amy
"Ok, now do you think you can eat something for me?
"Yes, I haven't eaten that much today, I did like that chicken soup your mom made last week though" replied Amy
"You sit there and I will make it for you, I don't want you to overexert yourself" said Sheldon, he started to get up before being pulled back by Amy
"Don't go just yet" said Amy as she moved onto Sheldon's lap and gave him a long, lingering kiss
"Mmmm, I love you Amy and our little baby inside of you" said Sheldon afterwards
"Same here" replied Amy smiling at him as they shared a cuddle
"I will come with you to the doctors and the hospital, I am insisting on it" said Sheldon as they walked to the kitchen together
"Of course"
The next day they went back to the doctors, Amy was given an appointment for a scan the same day and they went straight to the hospital, they had just been called into the room and were waiting for the doctor to arrive
"Everything is going to be ok, isn't it? Asked Amy worriedly
"Of course, I will be with you all the way" replied Sheldon giving her a hug as the doctor appeared
"Hi I am Dr Parker, I have your notes here, are you ok for me to start?
"Yes" replied Amy smiling at the doctor
Amy lifted her top and Dr Parker after putting gel on Amy's tummy ran the pointer over the tummy and turned the volume up on the monitor, the heart beat could be heard clearly, both Sheldon and Amy looked at the monitor and saw a tiny foetus, Dr Parker checked a few things over before turning to Amy
"Everything looks ok, I understand you have had a lot of sickness and weight loss?
"Yes all last week, I was only able to eat small amounts and most of that came straight back up" replied Amy
"Well hopefully the worst of it is over, I can confirm what your doctor said in that you are five weeks pregnant, the baby will be due around the middle of February 2015, do you have any questions?
"Is there anything I can do about the sickness?
"There are protein shakes and bars we can recommend if you really can't eat anything, did you want a printout of the scan?
"Oh yes please" replied Amy
"I will book you in for your twelve week scan as well" replied Dr Parker printing out the scan and then going to her computer to print off an appointment letter and a list of protein shakes that Amy could have
"Thank you for seeing me at short notice" said Amy
"Not a problem and congratulations" replied Dr Parker seeing them out
"Right I think we need to go shopping" said Amy once they reached the car
"What sort of shopping? Asked Sheldon
"For me of course, I will waste away otherwise" replied Amy as they drove off
"Ok, are we still not telling anybody?
"Not until everything is ok Sheldon"
"Maybe we should get married and make the baby legal" said Sheldon suddenly
Amy screeched to a halt and turned to look at Sheldon
"I'm sorry?
"You heard me"
"Sheldon having a baby is one thing to cope with, don't drop a wedding on me as well just yet"
"Don't you want to get married?
"Yes but not now, Sheldon please don't pressure me, I am still getting used to being pregnant and its only been three months since we started a physical relationship and less than three weeks since we moved in together, its all so quick" replied Amy
"So it's not a no?
"That's correct, can we just get going now? Asked Amy trying to change the conversation and starting the car back up
They went off to the shops to get Amy's protein shakes and bars before returning home where Sheldon made sure Amy was comfortable and went off to play video games for the rest of the evening
The next day when Amy went to work she went to see President Siebert to inform her of the pregnancy and how early it was and how she didn't want anybody to know yet, he agreed to say nothing until she was ready
The same day Amy also had her department meeting regarding the cocaine study on Monkeys, she submitted the plans showing how the funds would be used and the proposal was accepted, she had planned to start it in 8 weeks at the beginning of August, in the meantime, she caught up with her brain dissections and presentations and she realised that the doctor was right about the extreme sickness, which had started to clear up and she found herself having more of an appetite and putting on weight again and by the time she got to 8 weeks into her pregnancy she had a tiny but noticeable bump, she invited the gang over one night to tell them the news, although Leonard and Penny suspected anyway
Sheldon and Amy made everybody a drink and once they were sat down in the living room, Amy announced her news
"You remember a few weeks ago, when I was ill with the migraine and sickness? Well it turned out that I was pregnant, I had a little bit of a freak out moment and wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it but Sheldon and I would like to announce that we are now 8 weeks pregnant, Leonard and Penny, I am sorry for not saying anything before now but it was a huge shock to me and I just wanted to get through the early stages"
"Congratulations, when is the baby due? Asked Bernadette
"Middle of February we think, Sheldon has been brilliant and cant do enough for me" said Amy as Sheldon put his arm around her and cuddled her
"Did you make the decision together? Asked Penny
"To keep the baby? Well I told Sheldon that I wanted to keep the baby two days afterwards and I know I was off with you both that day but I was very surprised" replied Amy
"Not a problem, have you told your mom and Mary yet? Asked Penny
"No we are going to at the weekend, everything seems to be ok now and I couldn't not tell you guys, I have been wanting to say something before but I didn't want to jinx it" replied Amy
"Good luck with Mary, she might want you both to get married" said Leonard
"Well Sheldon's got there first then" replied Amy
"What? Exclaimed Penny in surprise
"I wrongly suggested we get married to make the baby legal but Amy told me I was rushing her and to wait" replied Sheldon
"And you said no to him? Asked Bernadette
"Yes, we will get married, just not right now, I want to deal with one thing at a time" replied Amy
"Congratulations again, Leonard and I also have news as well seeing as we are here" said Penny
"What's that? Asked Amy as she rubbed her tiny belly
"I am ready to move in with him permanently and we will be doing that this weekend, most of my stuff is in 4a now anyway, I have just been dragging my feet, I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing and the last few weeks has prove that and Leonard has accepted my commitment issues" replied Penny
"Looks like we have double good news then" said Amy
"Shall we go to the Cheesecake factory tomorrow night to celebrate? Asked Leonard
"Sure, why don't you guys go and play video games and us girls can have a gossip" suggested Amy
"We might just do that" replied Sheldon giving his girlfriend a kiss and disappearing
"Amy how are you really feeling about being pregnant? Asked Penny
"I have accepted it now, I can't get rid of Sheldon's baby, can you believe I will be the first of us to have a baby" said Amy getting excited for the first time
"Aw group hug" suggested Penny
