Sheldon rolled over in bed and reached over to rest his hand on his wife's stomach. He woke up when he realized there was nothing but air in her place. 'Maybe she's in the bathroom' he thought. He almost went back to sleep when he heard what sounded like a broomstick fall. He wandered out into the hallway to see the light on in the nursery.

"Amy?" he said when he reached the door, she spun around quickly when she heard her name, well as quickly as she could in her condition. "What are you doing?" Sheldon asked

"The broom fell. I was trying to think of a way to get it up. I can't bend down as easily anymore" she said resting a hand on her stomach.

"I can see that, but I mean what are you doing up. Its 3 in the morning" he said picking up the broom

"Oh I couldn't sleep. I was going to watch some tv, but then I passed by and the room looked dusty and smelled weird."

"The room didn't smell"

"Well it doesn't now, because I cleaned it."

"The room couldn't smell Amy, you cleaned it yesterday."

Amy shrugged, "it just wasn't clean" she said reaching for the broom in Sheldon's hand

He pulled it back, "Talk to me Amy. What's wrong"

"Nothing's wrong. The nursery just needed to clean."

"At 3 in the morning? I know something's bothering you."

"Everything just wasn't ready"

"Amy, everything has been ready. You packed and repacked a hospital bag three times, this room has been scrubbed from top to bottom, the baby clothes have all been washed, we bought the safest car seats and snugglis that money could buy, we have endless bottles and diapers. Everything couldn't be more ready."

"I'm not ready" she sighed "What if I can't do it? What if I'm not good at it? I've never done this before. I'm out of my element. What if I can't handle the stress"

Sheldon wrapped his arms around her, "Amy, you're going to do fine"

"You don't know that"

"I do. You've taken car of me all these years, and honestly if Penny and Bernadette could do it, I know you would do amazing"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm always sure Amy. Now lets go back to bed, its too early to be up, let alone cleaning, and plus we have our last appointment at 11" he said leading her back to their bedroom.

Just as he was about to fall asleep again he heard Amy groan and mutter "Stop it". He turned on the bedside lamp, "What's wrong Amy"

"Its nothing. You could go back to sleep"

"Its not nothing Amy"

"They just keep moving, and stretching. The stretching is starting to hurt a bit." she said before groaning again.

"Let me talk to them" Sheldon said lowering himself to her stomach. His lifted her shirt to see what looked like a foot pressed against her taut skin. "Fascinating" Sheldon said. Amy reached down and pressed against it and it disappeared, only for another foot to appear in another spot.

"I know you guys are cramped in there" he said to Amy's stomach, "but you can't keep stretching like that. Its hurting mommy and its keeping her up, and she really needs her rest." He waited awhile to see if it would continue and when he felt no movement he looked up at Amy and grinned, "For listening to me, I would tell you guys a story" Sheldon said before starting to recite the little engine that could. He stopped halfway through the story when he heard Amy snoring softly and he smiled. He wanted to finish the story but his need for sleep outweighed his need for closure. 'I'll finish it tomorrow' he thought as he turned off the light.

"I'm so tired of these appointments" Amy said as she shifted on the bed. "I know" Sheldon said rubbing her back. Devyn walked into the room at that time, "So we're almost at the end guys. The next time I would be seeing you guys is next week Friday for your membrane sweep" She looked at Amy fidgeting on the bed, "I could see that you're uncomfortable so I'll try to make this as quick as possible" she said moving towards the ultrasound equipment

"Is it weird that I would miss seeing them like this" Amy said as she looked at the ultrasound photo, as they drove to get Amy fries. This had become a ritual after every appointment. "It's not that weird" Sheldon said, "you got used to seeing them like that for almost 9 months, but soon we'll get the real deal" he said reaching over to rub her stomach

"How come this change isn't stressing you out?" Amy asked, "not that I'm complaining"

"Well Penny pointed out the day you got that makeover that sometimes change could be good, and plus I've been wanting to procreate with you since we turned our skin cells into functioning brain cells."

Okay. Speaking of Penny she gave me an idea for baby names at the baby shower. What if we name them after scientists?" she said looking at Sheldon

"That actually sounds like a good idea. But how do we decide which ones, there are so many."

"Another thing, I was thinking that maybe we could name one twin each, like you name the boy and I name the girl" Amy suggested

"Okay, that seems fair. I have the best name already, but I'm going to wait until they're born to tell you."

Amy pouted, "Really Sheldon?"

"What? You made us wait four weeks to figure out the sex of the second baby, surely you can wait one week to figure out a name."

Amy huffed and crossed her arms "Fine"

"That's my girl. By the way, the guys want to know if we could have Star Wars day at our house next week."

"That would make sense, we have more space, and plus I don't really feel like leaving home at this stage to watch movies"

"Thank you. I'll tell the guys" he said leaning over to kiss her cheek at the next red light.
