That evening, the gang celebrated with Sheldon and Amy to congratulate them.

After they had left and gone to bed, Sheldon and Amy retired to bed too.

Sheldon sat next to Amy on the bed, and pressed his lips against hers, kissing her lovingly.

He laid her down gently on the bed, still kissing her, and stroking her stomach softly.

"I need you now." Amy whispered, her hormones going into overdrive.

"Okay my Vixen." Sheldon murmured against her lips, as he helped Amy lift her shirt over her head and slip off her skirt.

"I may need to buy some more comfortable clothes instead of skirts." Amy said.

"It's up to you, but I love the way you dress." Sheldon replied, "Very classy and ladylike. I like that."

They finished peeling each other's clothing off, and Sheldon laid Amy down again, surrounded by pillows as extra comfort for her back, as he carefully pushed himself into her.

They made love slowly and carefully, with Sheldon taking extra care to be gentle and not to hurt her or the babies.

Amy reached orgasm quickly, which caused Sheldon to finish shortly after, before withdrawing and wrapping both arms tightly around her, burying his face in her hair.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Mmhmm." Amy nodded dreamily.

Sheldon kissed her head, running his hand down her body again to cradle her bump.

"Sheldon?" Amy said softly.

"Yes?"

"I love you my Texan Stud!"

"I love you too my Vixen."

..

There was a clatter of a plastic bowl and a milk carton falling on the kitchen floor one morning.

Sheldon looked up from where he was packing his satchel for work.

Amy was about to bend over to retrieve the dropped items, when a whirl of red and black appeared next to her.

Sheldon, in his black pants and black undershirt, with his red Flash shirt over the top had come to the rescue.

"Don't strain yourself, I've got it." He said, bending to pick up the bowl and the milk.

The milk carton had split and the white liquid had created a puddle on the kitchen floor.

"Oh no!" Amy groaned, as her eyes welled up. "I can't believe I did that." She began sobbing.

"It's nothing. We have more milk in the fridge." Sheldon said, rubbing Amy's back. "Don't worry about it."

"O-okay." Amy replied, trying to calm her emotions down.

Sheldon took another milk carton from the fridge and opened it for Amy. "There, no harm done." He smiled.

"Thank you Sheldon. You're being so great with me and my stupid hormones." Amy said, wiping her eyes with a piece of kitchen tissue, before taking a deep breath and launching herself at Sheldon, kissing him passionately, slipping her tongue between his lips.

At first, he responded, but then Amy got a little too caught up in the moment and the kiss turned heated as she began to caress him through his pants until he was semi-erect.

"Mmph!" He broke away, "Amy, I have to go to work. I can't have coitus with you now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay…I know that you're totally repulsed by me now. I mean look at me; I'm fat and disgusting! She started sobbing again.

Sheldon didn't know what to do.

He was confused by Amy's changing moods, but he tried his best.

"Amy…You are not fat, you're pregnant. Also, you are in no way disgusting. You're the most beautiful woman in the world to me." He said softly.

"Really?

"Really."

"Oh Sheldon!" She lunged at him again, kissing him and biting his lower lip, her hands grabbing his butt as she pressed herself against him.

He felt his semi-erection stand to full attention, and mentally cursed himself for being so weak.

Darn baser urges! But I guess it wouldn't matter if I was a little late…

"I suppose it won't matter if I turn up a little late, just this once…" He said, and Amy took him by his shirt collar, into the bedroom.

From his basket, Scooby looked up and cocked his head.

He knew where this was going!

He sighed loudly and snorted as Leonard made an appearance in the hallway, hearing moaning coming from Sheldon and Amy's room.

"Oh good God." Leonard groaned.

He looked over at Scooby's basket, where the dog was covering his eyes with his paw.

"I know how you feel, boy." Leonard said, and the dog uncovered his eyes, looking at Leonard, who was opening the dog cookie jar. "Here, I know you've had breakfast, but here's a treat. I'm sorry it didn't have Xanax in it."

Scooby gently took the treat and gobbled it up.

..

At lunchtime, none of the guys had seen Sheldon all day, until he approached the table with his tray, looking exhausted and with mussed-up hair, clearly only just arriving at work.

Leonard bit back a grin. "Mornin' partner!" He teased.

Sheldon glared at him. "You heard?"

"Wow…Amy annihilated you, huh?" Howard grinned impishly, eyeing Sheldon's hair and his messed-up clothes.

"My pregnant wife's sex drive is higher than the proton count in a Ununoctium atom." Sheldon sighed.

"I heard her shout 'hi-ho Silver' earlier!" Leonard chuckled.

Howard and Raj laughed.

"Nice! She went all cowgirl on you, huh?" Howard teased. "Being from Texas, that must have been a real treat for you!"

"Oh Sheldon, go like the wind!" Raj piped up.

"Head 'em up, ride 'em in Rawhide!" Howard chipped in.

"Oh Sheldon, it's okay…All cowboys quick draw!" Raj said, sending himself, Howard and Leonard into fits of laughter.

"Yee-haw Sheldon!" Howard threw in, which just made everyone laugh harder.

Sheldon felt anger bubbling up inside him.

"Alright, that is enough!" He boomed, stunning the entire cafeteria into silence. "What Amy and I do in our private time is nothing to do with you, and if you do happen to overhear, at least have the courtesy to keep it to yourself! Now, you have the options to either apologise or never, ever be allowed to use my new Xbox One console. Your choice."

Leonard, Howard and Raj all exchanged a look.

"Sorry Sheldon." They muttered, embarrassed.

He cast one more glare at them, before gathering his food and leaving the cafeteria to head to his office.

The cafeteria began to quietly buzz with voices again.

"Wow…" Leonard blinked. "He's definitely ready to be a dad!"

..

Sheldon reached his office and placed his lunch on his desk, before closing the door behind him and sinking to the floor with his back against it, and head in his hands.

He heard a knock on the door, and sighed before getting to his feet again.

"Hello Dr Cooper." President Siebert greeted. "We didn't see you this morning; where were you?"

Sheldon panicked.

"I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again. I…"

"No, I just wondered if everything was okay? You're never late for work, or at least not without a call. You aren't in trouble or anything…I know your wife is expecting, and I wanted to know if everything was okay after you showed up late." Siebert asked.

"Yes, everything is fine." Sheldon nodded. "I just…Got caught up."

"Ah, I see." Siebert winked, "Hormones and sex drive, huh? There's no escaping that one!"

"No sir, there isn't…"

"Don't worry. I totally understand." Siebert held his hands up. "Next time, give me a call if you're going to be late. Let's call it…Pregnant Wife Duties."

"Alright. Thank you President Siebert, and again, I'm sorry I was late."

"No problem. See you later Cooper."

"Goodbye sir."

Sheldon closed the door and took a deep breath.

Alex was out on an errand for him and wouldn't be back for a long time, so he sat in his desk chair with his hands covering his face.

As he uncovered them, he caught sight of himself in his switched-off computer monitor.

"Oh dear God." He muttered, opening his drawer and taking out a comb, combing his hair back into place and rearranging his clothes, before spraying himself with some more emergency deodorant he kept in his desk.

His message tone went off, and Sheldon rummaged in his pocket for his phone.

He had a new message from Amy.

"Sheldon, the babies are moving! I can feel them! :-) xxxxxxxx"

Sheldon smiled to himself.

Amy was now 16 weeks pregnant, and couldn't wait to feel the babies move later. He fired off a reply.

"That's incredible! What does it feel like? xxxxxxxxxxx"

Within a minute, Amy had replied.

"Like popcorn popping I guess? It feels so weird, but I can sort of feel it from the outside too. You'll have to feel later. Thank you for this morning, it was amazing. Hope I wasn't too over the top! Xxxxxxxxx"

Sheldon pursed his lips.

This morning had been amazing for him too, but it had worn him out.

That and Leonard had heard and told their friends, who had ended up teasing him over lunch.

Of course, that had annoyed him, and he decided that he would get Leonard back for that, regardless.

Sheldon tapped out another reply to Amy;

"Fascinating! I look forward to experiencing that with you. You're welcome, and thank you! It really was amazing. But now I am exhausted and Leonard heard us having coitus and has told Wolowitz and Koothrappali what he heard, so they decided to tease me at lunch. Some sort of revenge is in order! Xxxxxxxxx"

Sheldon switched on his computer, ready to do at least a little work before home time, when he received another text from Amy.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry! :-( I agree with the whole revenge thing! By the way…I have something to cheer you up. Wait there. Xxxxxxxx"

Sheldon frowned. "Wait here? Where else would I go?" He muttered to himself, confused.

Within seconds he had received another text from Amy.

It was a picture message.

Opening it up, there was a photo of Amy at work in her Fitzpatrick Marine Biology Facility lab coat, grinning widely with a hand on her bump, captioned: 'Cheer up, sunshine! Love from me and the babies – Amy. xxxxxxxxxx'

Sheldon grinned.

She looked beautiful in that picture.

Obviously she must have just taken it at work, where she had recently had to reduce her hours to part time because of the pregnancy.

And today was her afternoon to work.

Sheldon Bluetoothed the photo to his computer and printed it off before pinning it to his Bulletin board, right behind his desk.

He grinned proudly, before picking up his phone again and snapping a photo, sending it to Amy;

"Beautiful. You three are now on my bulletin board! :-) I love you xxxxxxxxx"

Feeling calm once again after the incident in the cafeteria, Sheldon finally tucked into his lunch and got on with his work.

..

Arriving home that afternoon, Sheldon found Amy still in her work uniform, sat on the middle seat of the couch.

"Hello, stud!" Amy beamed.

"Hello vixen." Sheldon replied, dropping a kiss on her lips before taking a seat in his spot. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm really good, thank you. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine thanks. Just tired." Sheldon replied.

"Here, feel my stomach." Amy said, turning to face Sheldon. "They're really active already!"

Sheldon placed a hand either side of Amy's growing bump, and waited.

Underneath his hands, he felt what he could only describe as butterfly-like movements.

So subtle, yet so powerful at the same time.

"Wow…" He smiled.

"You can feel them?" Amy questioned.

"Yes. Both of them…It feels so strange!"

Amy grinned, and Sheldon marvelled over her for a moment.

Since being pregnant, Amy was literally glowing.

Her skin was clear and radiant, her hair and eyes shone even through her tiredness, and she felt and looked healthy.

Amy caught him staring. "What?"

"Nothing. You just look beautiful." He replied, softly.

"Be careful Sheldon; people might think you're turning human!" Amy teased.

"Then they'd be wrong." He replied, "You and I both know we're something better. We are Homo Novus, and so are our unborn children."

"What if one of our children wasn't?" Amy asked, biting her lip. "What if one of them got bad grades or had a learning difficulty or a disability?"

Sheldon frowned. "So what?"

"You really wouldn't care?" Amy was shocked. "Sheldon; you have only ever wanted genius offspring. Why would you change your mind all of a sudden?"

"I do want genius offspring, but I would still love them if they weren't!" He replied honestly. "I've grown to love them already anyway. I mean look at Scooby; I used to be afraid of dogs but I grew to love Scooby, now he's part of the family. And you…I vowed to never, ever let a woman come between me and my life's work, but then I met you and you changed me. I grew to love you very quickly, and now I can't imagine life without you… or Scooby or the babies."

"Aww!" Amy smiled, throwing her arms around his neck.

When they broke apart, they kissed briefly, before Sheldon dropped a kiss on Amy's baby bump.

"I've always wanted to do that!" He smiled. "Oh, by the way…We should probably tell our parents."

At hearing that, Amy's eyes widened and she swallowed hard.

"Sure…"

Oh dear God, my mom will murder me!
