"My head hurts Amy" Sheldon groaned opening his eyes, blinking to adjust to the harsh lights. He tried to sit up but a hand held him down. "Sit up slowly" a strange voice said.
"What happened? Where am I?" Sheldon asked
"You're in Pasadena General Hospital. You fainted and hit your head pretty hard, you have a mild concussion" said the strange voice Sheldon now realized belonged to a doctor.
"The hospital? Why was I in the hospital?" Then it all came crashing to Sheldon. Amy. Amy in pain. Amy was bleeding. Amy had a miscarriage. "Where's my wife?" Sheldon asked
"I'm not sure. I can go find out" The doctor said. Sheldon hopped off the bed, "it's ok. I will find her myself"
"Mr Cooper you can't just walk out" the doctor said trying to stop, "I have to discharge you." Sheldon rolled his eyes and sighed, "where do I have to sign?"
Sheldon stumbled through the halls trying to remember where his wife was, when he saw a familiar doctor leave a room. "Mr. Cooper are you looking for Amy?" she asked. Sheldon simply nodded. She led him further into the hall and pointed at a door. "She's probably asleep by now, but you can still go in." She said then quietly left.
Sheldon slowly pushed open the door and saw her curled up on her side, asleep, her face blotchy and her eyes puffy from crying. She looked so small and broken. "Oh Amy" he sighed. He walked up to her and brushed the short hair out of her face. She stirred and opened her eyes. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Fresh tears welled in Amy's eyes "I'm so sorry Sheldon" she sobbed
"Don't apologize. It's not nor will it ever be your fault"
"But it is. If my body did what it was supposed to, we won't be in this problem"
He lifted her chin to look at him, "I don't blame you Amy. You did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong" He wiped the tears from her cheek with his thumbs. He nudged her across the bed and climbed in. He wrapped his arms around and began to sing "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr" He kissed the top her head, "It's going to be ok" he whispered
When it was time for Amy to be discharged, she thanked her friends for staying in the uncomfortable waiting room all night, especially Penny. Sheldon thought she would have asked one of them for a ride back, but she told them to leave. "Amy how are we getting home?" Sheldon asked. "I called a taxi. I don't think that I could deal with all the questions they were going to ask." She responded. Sheldon just nodded his head.
As soon as they got into their apartment Amy said she was going to take a shower, leaving Sheldon .by the couch on his phone. After he made a few calls he decided to check on his wife. He opened the door to see her standing in front of the mirror in her underwear, with her hands on her belly. From the reflection he could see the tear that rolled down her cheek. She caught his gaze in the mirror and tried to wipe away the tear. "I was just thinking about what could have been" she said
"It's going to happen someday Amy. We just had a set back but it will happen"
"Did you come to shower?" Amy asked
"That's only part of the reason. I also came to say that I called in sick for the both of us for the rest of the week, and also to ask what you wanted to eat for lunch"
"I'm not really that hungry Sheldon" she said taking out some pjs from the draw.
"Are you sure? Because the last time you ate was over 24 hours"
"I'm sure Sheldon. I find myself craving physical contact, maybe we can cuddle."
When they were both cuddled in bed Sheldon spoke, "maybe we should take a vacation, we still have some money from the Nobel Prize." Amy shook her head no, "Not now. A part of me still wants to be here when Penny and Leonard's son is born, we are his godparents after all"
"Ok. So after their baby is born we take a vacation. Maybe we just need to get away from all this"
Even though it was early, Sheldon felt his eyes getting heavy, he looked down to see Amy had already fallen asleep on his chest, I guess crying all night left her really tired. 'It won't hurt to take a nap' he thought.
