A/N: Thanks for all of the positive reviews
Italics once again represent flashbacks
"Oh my God Sheldon!" Penny screamed as Leonard bent down to pat his cheek. "Can we get some help here?!" Raj called out to no one in particular. A doctor came running over with a gurney and some nurses. "What happened?" the doctor asked while Lifting Sheldon onto the gurney.
"He fainted. He may have hit his head. "Raj answered
"I want a CBC and tox screen, and also order a head CT" the doctor said to the nurse, while feeling Sheldon's head for lumps, "Was he doing anything before he fainted?" he asked the group
"H-H-His wife is sick. S-She's in an exam room" Penny stuttered
"Alright. Forget about the CBC and tox screen" he said to the nurse, "we're going to carry him for a CT now, I'll be sure to update you as soon as possible."
The group just nodded. "We should go check on Amy," Penny said while pulling Bernadette. "you guys stay here and wait on an update about Sheldon."
As soon as Penny and Bernadette rounded the corner to Amy's room, the doctor was just coming out.
"Visitors for Mrs. Cooper?" she asked. The blondes simply nodded, "I'm sorry but she has requested no visitors at this time unless its her husband" she said offering a small smile. "You don't understand we're her best friends" Bernadette said trying to push past the doctor. "And you don't understand, " the doctor said while standing firmly in front of the door, "no visitors unless its her husband"
'This is not going to end well' Penny thought as she could practically see the smoke coming out of Bernadette's ears.
Amy heard the whole commotion from inside her hospital room, she didn't remember telling the doctor she didn't want visitors, but she had never been so glad that someone lied for her. She couldn't bear to see them, not right now. All happy with babies and soon to be baby, babies they didn't even want, trying to be empathetic for a situation they were never in, while her body didn't even try to keep the one that was inside of her. "We didn't even know" she mumbled while trying to wipe the tears. She wracked her brain trying to figure out who to blame for it, but the only conclusion was herself. She curled herself into a fetal position as she sobbed.
The doctor leaned back from between Amy's legs and covered her with a blanket. She threw her gloves in the garbage bin, then turned to them, "There is no easy way of saying this, but I'm afraid you are experiencing a miscarriage"
Amy shook her head "That's not possible. I'm not pregnant."
"When was the last time you took a pregnancy test?"
"Three weeks ago, "Today" Sheldon and Amy said at the same time.
"Today Amy?" Sheldon asked, she didn't bother to turn to him she could already hear the hurt in his voice
"That is more common than you think," Dr Peters started, "women over a certain age produce less hormones need for pregnancy than those that are younger, so you had a negative test not because you were not pregnant, but simply because there was not enough hormone for the test to detect, and without sufficient hormones the baby could not develop" She saw the tears rolling down Amy's cheeks, "Keep in mind Mrs. Cooper this was in no way your fault. "
Amy shoulders just shook with silent sobs. Sheldon just couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that she took a test today without him. That's why she went home early, why the apartment was so dark, she must have been devastated and he was there to help her. His head started to feel like it was spinning. " I-I-I have to go" he said while stumbling out of the room, slamming the door.
The doctor looked at Amy, "I would like to keep you overnight for observation. I will be back shortly with a gown for you to change into and misoprostol to help pass the remaining tissue." She placed her hand on Amy's shoulder "I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I know exactly how you feel, and when you feel like you're ready to try again, please come see me" She was only answered with silence which wasn't uncommon in these situations, so she just removed her hand and silently left the room.
