After 15 minutes of coaxing and Sheldon promising to buy her fries, they were finally leaving home. They arrived to the appointment 20 minutes late, but Sheldon had already called the doctor to inform her and warned her to say nothing about Amy's size.
Sheldon help Amy climb on the exam bed in the hospital. "Sheldon?" she asked, "Do you think I look that big?"
Sheldon's eye started to twitch and he turned so she wouldn't see; he wasn't the best liar and she would see through any lie he gave. "Well" he started, "for a woman expecting twins I don't think you look that big."
She seemed satisfied with that answer and Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief, at that moment Devyn walked in.
"So how are you feeling Amy?" she said sitting on a stool, "Any pain or soreness?"
Amy shifted on the bed, "My lower back has been sore this past week. "
"Do you mind sitting up so I could feel?" she asked. Sheldon helped Amy up, "Why didn't you tell me Amy?" he asked
"Because it was no big deal. Its fine." At that same time the doctor touched a certain part of her back, and Amy couldn't help but wince. "But you're in pain." he pointed out.
"Everything looks fine. Your back muscles are just adjusting to carrying more weight than usual. Lets take a look at your babies now."
"Look at them" Amy said for what seemed the 10th time, "You could even see their hands." She said climbing into the passenger seat. True to his word, Sheldon got his driver's license back, he didn't want Amy driving. "Can we stop for fries before we go the mall? I'm kinda hungry now." Amy said
With Amy, happily munching on her fries, Sheldon was still trying to figure out what to get for her birthday, maybe he could find something at the mall. The mall was still fairly empty as it was early morning and they found a parking spot rather fast. "Do you have a particular store you want to go to?"
"Anywhere that sells maternity clothes"
While walking towards a clothing store, they passed another store with baby furniture on display, "We need to by two of those soon" Amy said pointing to the crib in the display. Sheldon glanced at the crib, 'Where are we going to put it' he thought 'Our apartment is way to small to hold one of those, much less two. We really need to find a bigger place.' A light bulb went off in Sheldon's head, He finally knew what to get for her birthday and Christmas. After 2 hours shopping for clothes Amy was finally ready to leave.
On the way home she yawned several times so Sheldon urged her to take a nap. "I don't wanna take one so early." She pouted.
"Amy you're practically falling asleep. How about if I come in and cuddle with you." He offered. He laughed as Amy practically ran to the bedroom. He went in and climbed in next to her and after 5 minutes she was fast asleep. He slipped out of bed and left the apartment. He crossed the hallway and knocked on 4A door
Knock knock knock "Leonard"
Knock knock knock "Leonard"
Knock knock knock "Leonard"
Leonard opened the door, "What's up buddy?"
Sheldon looked around to make sure his apartment door was still closed, "I need your help with a surprise for Amy. Can I come in?"
Amy woke up an hour later to find the bed empty. She called out his name, when she got no answer she came out of bed. He was nowhere in sight. 'Maybe he's across the hall' she thought. She pushed on her friend's door and saw Penny sitting on the couch feeding Luke. "Oh hey Ames." She greeted
"Hey. Is Sheldon here?"
"He was, but he and Leonard went to run an errand."
"What kind of errand?"
"Maybe something sciencey or nerdy. You know our husbands" Penny said laughing nervously.
Amy squinted her eyes looking at Penny, "Oookay. If you say so. I guess I will hang out here till they come back."
"Sure. Here take Luke for a second." Penny said handing over her son, and walking to the kitchen. She looked at Amy playing with Luke. 'Oh Amy you lucky lucky girl' she thought.
