Episode 1
The Procreation Declaration
As the inhabitants of 4A and 4B finally entered the Elevator of 2311 Los Robles the contented sigh of Leonard broke the comfortable silence . After the short ride the two couples bid their goodbyes and lugged their luggage into their separate apartments. The hours of jet lag had caught up to Sheldon and Amy and they headed straight to bed. The silence Sheldon boasted so proudly about stood strong until they were both in bed.
"Amy"
"Yeh Sheldon"
"What do we do next?"
"What do you mean ?"
"I mean, what do we do next! We are married, we have won the Nobel Prize. What is our next goal?Children? A new house?If we do move where to? If we have children how many? What else would have to cha-"
"Sheldon,First of all I'm not even pregnant yet and when I do we will have 9 months to plan. And secondly it's late and we are severely jet lagged we can talk about it tomorrow"
"But"
"Goodnight Sheldon,I love you"
"I love you to Amy"
At that moment they turned away from each other and went to sleep.
Meanwhile over at 4A,Penny and Leonard are also in bed.
"I hope if the baby is a girl she will look like you"
"Where did that one come from"
"I was just looking at you,tired and yet still pretty"
"Thank you Romeo,Now get in bed I'm tired"
Leonard got into bed and began to cuddle Penny.
"Penny,What gender are you hoping for?"
Penny replied with a loud contented snore
"I'll ask tomorrow." He thought as he proceeded to fall asleep.
The next day.
It had been a quiet morning for Sheldon and Amy and the topic of babies had yet to come up which was irritating Lunch time he could not take it anymore.
"So Amy,Do you want to start…"
Despite Dr Cooper's quick mind it was somehow harder to ask than last night when he was so Jet lagged he could hardly see straight.
"Start what?"
"A family"
Sheldon analysed her body was still not good with body language but he had got better, especially with Amy. She didn't seem upset or appeared chewed thoughtfully for a moment then answered.
"I would love to Sheldon,I would be lying if it wasn't on my mind but i was worried about how you would respond"
"So are we going to start trying?"
"Yes"
"I love you Amy"
"I love you too Sheldon"
They finished eating and as Amy collected their plates She said
"Sheldon?Should,we tell our friends?"
"It may be beneficial besides they will probably find out sooner or later considering how Penny is"
"We can tell them at dinner then"
As Amy was washing the dishes Sheldon came up behind her and gave her a hug. "Soo I know it's not a special occasion but if you're interested?"
"I'm interested"
"Leonard we should tell our parents about my pregnancy soon"
"I suppose you're right but my mother will already know"
"She will?"
"Who did my Mother enjoy talking to more than me up until recently?"
"Ohhh Sheldon"
"Let's do my Mother first"
*Skype noises*
"Hello Mother"
"Hey Beverly"
Penny gave Beverly an excited wave and Leonard gave her a more half hearted one
"Hello, I presume this is about your pregnancy"
"Um Yes"
Leonard looked at his shoes and Penny at her hands
"It's alright,Quite Frankly I am thrilled for the opportunity to see the final results of my tests"
"What!" Leonard yelled
"Haha, I'm sorry the look on your faces, I am looking forward to meeting your child"
Leonard replied through gritted teeth "Thanks Mother"
"I must leave now,I have a dinner to get to,good luck with the Pregnancy I will skype more regularly now as hormones will cause Penny to have bouts of emotional madness and my services will be of use"
"Goodbye Mother"
"Yes bye Beverly"
"My family now Leonard?"
"Yep"
"Hey Dad is Mom there?"
"She's with your brother,they are knitting tea cosies"
"Oh yay!,Bring them in too land put the phone on speaker like I showed you last time we visited"
"Okay they're here"
"Hi honey"
"Hi Penny"
"Me and Leonard have big news!"
"..."
"I'm pregnant!"
"OH MY GOD!"
After the shrieks had died down they continued to talk about babies and future visits for another half an hour until they heard the familiar triple knock on the door. They hid their goodbyes and let Sheldon and Amy in.
" You were approximately 45 seconds longer than your average answer time"
"You were timing us?You know what,come in Sheldon"
"Thank you"
"You guys okay?" Leonard asked
"Yes-we we we're fine. Wha what makes you ask?"Amy stuttered
"You seem I dunno, flustered?"
Before Amy can continue her jabbering Sheldon interfered
"We're are excellent Leonard, thank you for asking"
Penny gasped and then said "Hang on,Sheldon's polite and Amy's flustered,you guys did it didn't you!"
Amy jabbered incoherently and Sheldon went awkward silence continued for a few more seconds until Bernie and Howard came in holding a fidgety Hallie and a babbling Michael closely followed by Raj. "Hey guys whadda we miss?" Howard exclaimed as he set Hallie down on the floor and turned towards the rest of the group. Penny glanced at a blushing Amy and said "a Grade A girls night topic"
"Oooo sounds good" Bernadette said while sitting Michael next to his sister on the blanket Penny had laid out. "Yes,Yes riveting. Now Amy and I have some big news to share now everyone's here"Sheldon gulped when he saw everyone's eyes on him and subconsciously reached for Amy's a couple of seconds Amy cleared her throat "We are going to start trying for a baby."
" .god" Penny practically yelled
"And before you say anything Penny, your pregnancy was hardly the catalyst of the situation. We decided how we both wanted children and now is a perfect time. Besides Howard and Bernadette have quite exceptional children considering Bernadette never wanted children and Howard is well Howard" Amy then proceeded to kick him in the leg.
"I am going to take that as a compliment" Howard responded
"It wasn't intended as one"Sheldon retaliated
Amy then whispered in his ear and he smiled at Howard with his koala face.
"Okay,okay but OH MY GOD Shelbot has gotten the best software update"
Hearing Leonard say that made both Amy and Sheldon break out into large grins.
"Yes I guess I have"
(Girls night)
"Soooo Amy are you going to tell us what happened before you came across the hall?"
"Pennnyyyy, nothing happened"
"So what happened Penny?"Bernadette squeaked
"When the Shamy came across the hall,Sheldon was polite with messy hair and Amy was red in the face and flustered"
"Oooo Amy sounds like you got a head start on the Baby making"
"Bernnnnnniiiieeee, Fine. I admit it . It was Sheldons idea and we had a very good time"
"Eeeee, I knew it" yelled Penny
"It was odd though"
"Why?" Asked Bernadette and Penny in unison
"Well,I, we have never. Ya know ummm done it without uhhh"
"Protection?"Bernie asked
"Yes" Amy muttered then proceeded to go bright red
"Aww so much to learn"Penny swooned and proceeded to sip her water
"Yes I suppose so" Amy smiled imagining her future children
"My bet is that Amy will be at least two months pregnant when I give birth"
"I think she'll be more so with Sheldon's schedules"Bernadette replied
"Honestly I don't know how long it will take. I am hardly at the height of fertility anymore"
"Don't think like that Ames. I'm sure you'll be knocked up in no time"
"Thanks Penny, I think"
"No probs now come on let's gossip"
