So I thought it was about time I write the next chapter :3
Thanks for the previous reviews guys :D
Ps. I've never actually been to a wedding so I apologize if it's a bit stereotypical. All I have to go from is movies xD
Oh and another sidenote. This chapter changes POV a bit but I didn't bother writing "Sam's POV" "Howard's POV" etc. I think it's pretty obvious when the POV changes but if any of you find difficulty let me know :)
Sam had been surprised at the sudden invitation but was thrilled to be a part of the wedding. Since the past few weeks she'd known them, she'd started to become good friends with Penny and Bernadette. So she was honoured to be part of Bernie's big day. Even if it was just a last minute harpist replacement, she'd take what she could get.
It wasn't long before the ceremony began and Sam started playing the famous 'Wedding March' tune. Raj gave Howard a comforting pat on the shoulder as Howard stiffened nervously in his place up front of the aisle. His eyes drifted longingly down the aisle and the rest of the guest's gaze joined his as the wedding party began their march down the aisle. In front was Bernadette's niece as the flower girl, a five year old in a puffy pink dress, who was more amused by the petals she was dropping than the ceremony. Then following was Sheldon and Amy, Sheldon's arm wrapped lovingly around her. Penny and Leonard were next, their hands clasped together tightly.
Finally the moment came and Bernadette strode down the aisle, led arm in arm by her father who begrudgingly had accepted his daughter's marriage. There were sighs of awe as they took in Bernadette's beautiful presence. Howard felt his stomach jump up in his throat as he took in the beautiful sight in front of him. She was an angel. A glorious angel dressed head to toe in white, practically glowing in the luminescence of the room. He barely noticed when the other couple split up and took their places on either side of him. All he could focus on was the beauty walking towards him. Finally after what seemed to Howard like hours, Bernadette's father gave her a kiss on the cheek as she joined Howard at the front.
The priest began reciting his lines. A priest had been Bernadette's idea, of course. Howard would have preferred a Rabbi but how could he say no to his lovely, and also quite intimidating, fiancé?
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of Howard Wolowitz and Bernadette Rostenkowski in holy matrimony…"
The wedding wasn't very long but it was very touching. Many of the guests found themselves crying, especially Raj who had begun blubbering at the very beginning off the wedding. Sam smirked at the Indian man from her place at the back with her harp. He was quite a curious man, hardly a man at all judging by their small meeting so long ago. Despite this however, she found herself strangely drawn to him. Whether it was his quirky mutism or his feminine traits, she wasn't sure maybe both. Either way, she couldn't help the feeling of fascination as she watched him curiously. She made a mental note to approach him after the ceremony.
As the guests arrived at the reception Bernadette and Howards found themselves swarmed by group of friends and family members congratulating them. Penny, Leonard, Sheldon and Amy made a beeline for their table, obviously eager to escape the crowds of strangers. Sam found herself avoiding the table, however, and scanning her eyes around the room in search of his familiar caramel skin. Bingo, she thought to herself as she found Raj sitting at the bar. Alcohol, of course, he was freeing himself of his forced silence. She marched in the direction took the seat beside him.
He didn't look up until she said, "Long time no see"
His head shot up, wide-eyed like a baby deer and he desperately looked around for a drink. Sadly the bartender had yet to return so he had no cure for his muteness.
"I know, I know. You can't talk to me" she said with a chuckle then suggested in a flirtatious voice, "Shall we play charades then?"
Raj stared at her unable to think. He knew this woman, she was the girl from Sheldon's apartment a few months ago. Amy's old college friend, Sam. She was his forced date for this evening, not that he minded. In fact, he was thrilled to actually have a date. But her behaviour startled him. Usually woman only flirted with him after he'd had alcohol and became 'Mr Smooth'. Right now he was just his normal shy, 'unable to talk to women' self. Sam chuckled at his obviously surprised expression. She had a great laugh, he observed, much more feminine than her usual manner. He found it kind of cute.
Just as he was about to attempt some sort of charade reply, the bartender came and saved him. He anxiously pointed towards a grasshopper on the menu and Sam ordered a beer. Their drinks were made and handed to them shortly.
He noticed Sam glance at his drink and smirk as she swigged on her beer before muttering, "Nice drink, where'd you find it? Cosmos magazine?"
She chuckled again and he took a sip so he could reply, "No, as a matter of fact Penny introduced me to it. It's my favourite" he protested.
"Aha! SO you can talk without being drunk. There's no way you could get drunk of one sip so fast. I knew it was all psychological" she insisted looking pleased. He couldn't find a clever reply, everything she said was true he knew it was. But for some reason even knowing that, he still couldn't talk to a woman without a drink in his hand. So he went defensive.
"What about your drink, this is a wedding reception not a pub" he scoffed. She smiled obviously enjoying seeing him fight back.
"It's never a bad time for a beer" she assured him taking a long swig. He found himself chuckling at her and she smiled back. They continued to flirt back and forth, enjoying the other's company.
Meanwhile Sheldon and Amy were on the dance floor, Amy had managed to convince him to one dance.
"Amy, you should really be sitting down and resting. I highly doubt this kind of strained movement is good for the babies" Sheldon complained.
"Oh for god sakes Sheldon, I have another two months until the babies are due. I may be as big as a whale but I doubt a little dancing's gonna-"she stopped mid-sentence and froze gripping her stomach. Sheldon recognised the look of worry cross over her face and he felt his heart race.
"Amy, what is it? Are you alright?" he hissed flustered.
"I-I think my water just broke" she stuttered her voice soft in shock.
Sheldon went into a panic and began muttering "What? Oh god, I told you didn't I? I knew dancing was a bad idea, but did you listen? No. Why would you listen to me? It's not like I'm a genius-"
"Sheldon" Amy hissed through gritted teeth desperately, he shut up immediately, "Just get Sam, quick"
He nodded and did exactly that. Sam and Raj were over to Amy as fast as they could. A crowd had begun to form as others noticed the situation. Amy didn't even have time to feel angry about her brides maid dress being ruined. She was too worried about the babies, they couldn't be coming it was too soon! Sheldon gripped Amy's hand soothingly as Sam examined her, Sam had gone completely into Doctor mode. After a moment she looked up at Amy determinedly.
"There's not enough room in the womb for the three of them anymore. It's time" she informed Amy.
"What? No, it can't be! I still have two months" she objected frantically.
Sam put a soothing hand through Amy's hair. "I'm afraid your body says otherwise"
Dun dun dun! Haha, I apologize if this makes no sense or anything. I have no idea but pregnancy haha. But oh well, two months seemed enough xD
Don't forget to review :3
