"Amy" Sheldon said as he shook her slightly, "Its time to wake up." She groaned and opened her eyes "What time is it?" she asked

"8. The guys would be here around 8:40. I wanted to wake you up to give you time to eat and get dress. I'm going downstairs to get everything ready, yell if you need anything" he said before practically skipping out of the room.

Amy chuckled at her husband's excitement, then proceeded to do the tedious task of getting out of bed. When she was finally standing, she couldn't help but wince at the pain still in her back. She thought after some sleep the pain would go away. "Maybe I could convince Sheldon to give me a massage in one of his breaks" she muttered as she waddled to the bathroom.

She made her way downstairs when she heard the door bell. "They roped you into this too" Penny said when she saw Amy, who just nodded in response, "I tried to stay home with Luke, but then Leonard was like 'he has to watch his namesake Penny'" she said imitating Leonard causing Amy to chuckle "He's only 11 months. He attention span isn't that long" Amy shrugged, "The things we do for our husbands"

"How are you feeling?" Penny asked

"Good as I could get. My back is killing me though, I might tap out after the first movie and go lay down" Amy said

"Lucky you" Penny said

"These movies better be good" they heard Bernadette grumble as she entered

"You watched the last one and liked it" Howard said

"Yeah, but I didn't have to wake up at 7 in the morning and get two toddlers ready to watch it." She snapped back as she walked into the kitchen, "Oh thank God you two are here too. Tell me you brought wine Penny" Bernadette pleaded

"I wouldn't leave home without it" she said pulling out two bottles from her bag

"But I can't drink" Amy pouted

"Yeah, but you're already planning to bail on us, so we're even" Penny said.

They all settled into the living room to watch the movies. The guys were acting like this was their first time seeing the movies. Sheldon had placed some pillows behind Amy's back that helped ease some of the pain for the time being.

It was 45 minutes later when she felt like she needed to pee, seeing as she was the only one not following Sheldon's bathroom schedule, she quietly scooted off the couch and went towards the bathroom. When she was finished, she decided to grab a snack to go back with. Just as she grabbed the bag of chips she felt a sharp pain radiate from her back to the front of her stomach. She rubbed her stomach until the pain went away. 'God, I hate these Braxton Hicks' she thought before waddling back to the living room.

She had completely forgot about the pain she had experienced in the kitchen, until she felt the same thing about forty minutes later. She grimaced but no one could see as Sheldon had lowered the blinds and turned off the light. She rubbed her stomach, that was feeling really tense to the touch. 'What is with these Braxton Hicks today'

A movie later Sheldon noticed her shifting on the couch, "Are you okay" he whispered

"Umm yeah, my back is just really hurting" she lied

"You could go upstairs and lay down; I won't blame you; you already watched a full movie. Just text if you need anything" he said waving his phone. She slowly made her way upstairs. Just as she was about to open the door, the same pain returned, but it seemed more painful causing her to grip the door handle to stay partially upright. When it finally passed, one thought entered Amy's mind - these were definitely not Braxton Hicks.

She entered her bedroom and closed the door. "These can't be contractions. You guys were supposed to come on the 6th" she said looking down at her stomach, "I was mentally prepared for the 6th, not today" She placed a hand on her stomach where she felt a soft thump. "I'm probably just anxious and my body is mimicking the pain" she said starting to pace the room, "Yeah that's it. I'm not in labor. I can't be in labor". She rubbed a hand on the small of her back, this back pain was really getting to her now. She groaned when she felt the pain coming back, she leaned over and placed all of her wait on the dresser, "Please don't be labor" she moaned. She spent the next few hours pacing and trying to get comfortable in bed.

"I could text Penny and Bernadette they know what labor feels like" she said reaching for her phone

Can you come up for a second, try not to make it to obvious-A

She didn't get a text back, rather she just heard footsteps and whispers coming close to the closed door. She was about to open the door, when the pain returned causing her to stay rooted to her spot near the wall, "Oh God" she moaned.

"Alright what's so important that you needed us to sneak away for-"Penny said as she opened the door, but stopped short at the sight of a disheveled Amy clutching her stomach in obvious pain and leaning against the wall. "Ames, what's wrong?" she asked going towards her, Bernadette entered behind her and closed the door

"What does labor feel like?" she asked

"Are you in labor Amy?" Bernadette asked

"I don't think so, I just want to know how it feels like"

"It like someone has a vice grip on your stomach, but at the same time you're being split in two."

"Okay" Amy breathed out.

"Have you been feeling like that?" Bernadette asked. Amy only nodded

"Then sweetie, you're in labor" Penny said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"How long have you been feeling like this?" Bernadette asked

"Since the first movie" Amy answered

"That was since 9 Amy, its after 2. Why didn't you say something?" Penny said

"I thought it wasn't labor, maybe it was Braxton Hicks. They're supposed to be here on the 6th not today"

"Sweetie, babies don't always follow our plans"

"Well I know that now"

"Did you tell Sheldon?" Bernadette asked

"No, obviously not. I didn't think it was real first. The pain is far apart still and plus he's watching his movies."

"He could pause a couple of movies for his pregnant wife"

Amy could only moan and lean against the wall in response as another contraction ripped through her body. "You have to tell Sheldon sweetie" Penny said rubbing her back

"Tell me what?" Sheldon asked from the door, "I texted, but you didn't answer so I brought you something to eat" he said holding up the plate, "What's going on?"

"Amy's in labor" Bernadette answered

"Then we have to get her to the hospital" Sheldon said putting down the plate and his phone.

"There's no rush Sheldon"

"No rush? You just said she's in labor"

"Yeah, but her contractions are far apart still"

"Guys" Amy interjected, but they ignored her

"Which gives us more time to get to the hospital Bernadette"

"It easier and more comfortable to labor at home"

"And we still probably have a while to go"

"Guys" Amy tried again

"I'm sorry when did you two get your MD? Because last I checked she needs a doctor if she's in labor"

"We don't but we had babies before we know how this works"

"And plus her water didn't even break yet"

"Guys!" Amy shouted causing all of them to turn to her. "I think my water broke"

They all looked down to see the liquid pooling by Amy's feet

"Oh dear Lord" Sheldon said before he collapsed on the floor.
