Sheldon and Leonard were in the lab working on their project, when Sheldon sighed for the third consecutive time that morning.
"What's wrong Sheldon?" Leonard asked annoyed
"Amy was sick this weekend and I'm just worried about her. She had a meeting early this morning so I didn't get a chance to ask how she was doing."
Leonard's face soften "So why don't you just ask her how she's doing now."
"She would just say the same thing again. 'I'm fine Sheldon, its just food poisoning'" he said imitating Amy
"She had food poisoning all weekend? Maybe you should turn on your phone and call her."
"If I turn on the phone then I would get distracted and lose my train of thought Leonard."
"Sheldon your wife is sick. I think that makes it okay for two minutes."
Sheldon turned on his phone and saw four missed calls from Caltech's biology department and three voicemails. That's odd. He listened to each of the voicemails and Leonard saw his already pale face getting whiter after he one.
"We have to go Leonard. Amy's in the hospital" Sheldon said running out of the lab with Leonard struggling to keep up
"Did they say what was wrong"
"No all they said was she fainted after the meeting and wasn't responsive so they called an ambulance."
"I'm sure its going to be fine buddy"
Sheldon looked at Leonard with wide panicked eyes "You don't know that. She was vomiting all weekend and said she was dizzy a couple times. And I let her go to work and now she faints. Something could be wrong Leonard."
"I know, but you need to calm down Sheldon. If you go in stressed than everyone else will be stressed even more and that's not good for Amy right now. Look were at the hospital, just go in calmly and ask-" Leonard didn't finish his sentence cause Sheldon already bolted out of the car towards the entrance.
"I'm looking for a patient, Amy Fowler-Cooper" Sheldon told the receptionist
"And what is the nature of your relationship with the patient " she said without looking up at the computer
"I'm her husband" Sheldon stressed.
"She is in room 314. If you go straight and take your first left. It's the second door on your right." Sheldon just nodded and ran in the direction.
He stopped outside the door and looked in through the glass on the door. She looked so pale just lying on the bed. He tried to push open the door softly but it squeaked and she opened her eyes
"Sheldon? What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that. What happened Amy? I told you this was more than food poisoning."
"I'm fine Sheldon"
"People do not just faint when they're fine Amy!" he said raising his voice. He saw her eyes widen "I'm sorry for shouting, but do you know how scary it is to hear that my wife was taken to the ER for an unknown reason."
"I'm sorry Sheldon" Amy started to cry " I don't know what's wrong with me. I thought it was just food poisoning, but I don't even know anymore."
"I know. Maybe we might get some answers today"
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. The door opened and the same doctor from all those times walked in. "Mr and Mrs Cooper we meet again" she smiled.
"I don't mean to be rude, but shouldn't an ER doctor be seeing my wife. I thought you worked on the OB/GYN floor."
"This is and OB case so I was brought down"
"An OB case? I don't think that's correct" Amy said confused
The doctor flipped through the charts in her hand, "Yes its correct. According to the blood work you're pregnant."
"How? I mean what" Amy asked "I didn't miss a period and I don't have any symptoms that-" Amy trailed off thinking about this past week. The tiredness, headaches and that ice cream and hot sauce. "Oh my God. I'm pregnant"
The doctor smiled. "I'm not too sure how you didn't notice though, because your hCG levels are that of a woman in her 8th week"
"8?" Sheldon asked
"That was my same question. So I'm going to do a quick ultrasound, so we could see what's going on." She said bringing the equipment over. Amy reached over and gripped Sheldon's hand tight as the gel was squirted on her stomach.
Devyn broke the silence by saying "Oh I see the problem now."
"What problem?" Sheldon asked scared
"Sorry. Wrong use of words.' She turned the screen to face them, "you're only about 5 weeks along, but if you look right here you can see one embryo sac and if you look a little over to your left you can see another embryo sac. Congratulations you're having twins."
"T-t-twins" Sheldon stammered
"Yes Mr. Cooper. They appear to be fraternal because they have two separate sacs."
"But why did I only now start having symptoms?" Amy asked
"Well its different for every woman, and you probably mistook some of your symptoms as signs of stress. Now Amy because of your age and the fact that its twins, I'm classifying this as a high-risk pregnancy. That's not to scare you I just want to see you more often to make sure everything is going according to plan. Do you guys have any questions?" Amy and Sheldon shook their head, "Okay, well check the nurse's station for when your next appointment is and congratulations again" she said leaving the room.
Amy took some paper towels Sheldon offered and wiped her stomach clean of the gel.
"There's a baby in there" Sheldon whispered while pointing at her still flat stomach
"Babies Sheldon"
There're babies in there" he said as he placed his hand on her stomach. She placed her hand over his, "I know. Can you believe it?"
Sheldon turned away and gasped" You're right. What if I'm dreaming"
"Do you want me to call Leonard to slap you?"
"No that's ok. I believe" he said kissing her softly on the lips.
