A few hours later everyone left and Sheldon found Amy on the couch eating popcorn. He sat next to her and Lifted her legs into his lap. "Leonard was telling me that pregnant women like foot massages." He
said rubbing the balls of her heel, "Does that feel good?"
Amy closed her eyes and moaned, "It feels amazing. Where did you even learn that technique?"
"YouTube. I'm glad you like it."
They both remained quiet for a few minutes, with Amy's occasional moans being the only sound/
"Oh" she said suddenly grabbing her stomach. Sheldon let go of her feet, "what's wrong? Is everything ok?"
"Yeah. They just kicked at the same time I think." She said rubbing her stomach, "It just surprised me." Sheldon leaned forward to put his hand next to hers, "Are they still kicking?" he asked
"Not really, but they're moving a lot. Can you feel it?"
Sheldon kept his hand still and felt small movement as if someone was lightly tracing in his palm, "Fascinating" he murmured, "Does it hurt?" he asked her
"Not really" she said stifling a yawn
"Come on. Let's get you to bed." He said helping her off the couch
Amy had taken to wearing either her maternity clothes or Sheldon's clothes. She slipped into his Thursday's pjs, leaving him in his white undershirt and sweatpants. They settled into bed, well rather he settled into bed Amy tossed and turned until she could find the perfect resting spot. After a few minutes she settled and Sheldon turned off the light and curled around her placing a hand on her belly. "Good night" they said to each other.
After about two hours Amy was awoken by a sudden movement in her belly. She laid still to see if it would feel it again. She felt a sudden rolling-like movement in her stomach, it felt like if one of the twins were doing backflips. She looked over to see if Sheldon had felt it, but he was sleeping peacefully. She took a deep breath and decided to do the same. After what felt like 5 minutes later, the same movement woke her up again. 'This is going to be a long night' she thought
She woke up to Sheldon stroking her hair, "Amy? Are you coming to work today?"
"What time is it?"
"Almost 9" he answered
"Too early. I'll see you later" she said rolling over and going back to sleep
Sheldon arrived to the university later than ever. "Hey buddy" Leonard greeted him as he walked to his office, "You're later than usual"
"Yeah. I waiting to see if Amy would wake up, but she just said it was too early."
Leonard laughed, "well she is growing twins."
*6 weeks later*
"I still think we should name Han and Leia. It's the perfect twin name. Ideally it should have been Luke and Leia but Leonard beat me to it"
"No Sheldon"
"What about James and Uhura"
She glared at him, and walked, well waddled away. "Its not like your suggestions were any better. You wanted to name them Elizabeth and Bennet. I'm not naming my son Bennet after some 18th century story."
Amy turned to face him "Said the guy who wanted to name them Clark and Lois. My children will not have comic book names" she hissed
Sheldon ran a hand down his face, "Maybe we should try the book again."
"I hate that book"
"I know, but it has a lot of suggestions" he said leading her to bed. Luckily for Amy, Sheldon's phone rang at that moment
"Hey mom. Yeah she's right here. Yes she's fine. Don't you want to talk to me" Sheldon pouted. He handed the phone to Amy and went back to the kitchen
"Hey Mary." She said with a smile, "Yes everything's fine. They're still measuring above average, Yeah that's the same thing Sheldon said. The girls are planning a small baby shower next week. Of course you could come. Alright bye. Love you too."
At that moment Sheldon walked back in with a bag of chips, "She talks to you more than me" he pouted, and she had to laugh, "Well I am carrying her grandchildren."
"You still want to look at names still?" he asked
She snuggled into the pillow, "Not really. My stomach itches though. Can you rub the lotion on it?"
Devyn had told them this was a common side effect from pregnancy and had recommended a lotion that should soothe it. Sheldon lifted her shirt, he knew Amy wasn't fond of how her body looked right now, so he kissed every stretch mark that he saw and whispered, "Beautiful" after every kiss. He never told Amy, but this was his favorite part of her pregnancy, he felt like he got one on one time with the twins and he could feel their not so little moves under his hand as he massaged her stomach.
