A/N: I have no order for the story anymore, so it may just be one shots about their lives at various times. I will try to put the kids' age at the beginning.

Stephen and Marie:2 almost 3

Amy's still pregnant with Amelia

So it turns out that Stephen did pass on the bug to Marie, who then passed it on to Sheldon. The only person who didn't get it was, Amy, and for that she was thankful. But that thankfulness was short-lived because she honestly didn't know who was a worse patient, Sheldon or Marie. Marie couldn't understand the concept of vomiting in the bowl if Amy wasn't there, so instead did it on the bed, causing Amy to change the sheets twice. She almost thought about just putting garbage bags on the bare mattress, but didn't because she knew one of them would complain about how it stuck to their skin. The third time Sheldon tried to move her to the bathroom but wasn't fast enough and she got it on the floor. Amy didn't know which was worse, kneeling down on the floor at 25 weeks trying to clean up after Marie or changing the sheets. All she knew is that it was exhausting her.

When Stephen started to feel better Amy moved him into the guest bedroom with her. It was mostly going okay, except for the times she had to take care of Marie and Sheldon and told him to stay in the hall, causing endless tears and whimpers until she could go back to him.

She woke up to an email on her phone from Dr. Park about the research they were working on together. 'God, I almost forgot about that' she thought. Sheldon wasn't well enough to take care of Stephen, "Guess you're coming to work with me today" she told Stephen. She bathed Stephen and put him in his room to play for a little, while she took a quick shower. After she was done, she checked in on him and saw him playing with his blocks still in a little corner of the room. Marie was nothing like that, she would have had everything unpacked if she was left for two minutes without supervision. She went into her bedroom for clean clothes to wear and inadvertently woke up Sheldon.

"Where are you going?" he asked groggily

"I have to go to work. I'll take Stephen with me."

"You could leave him here"

"Are you well enough to take care of yourself and two toddlers?" Amy asked raising an eyebrow

"What will you even do with him at the university?"

"I might just drop him off in daycare. I shouldn't be there too long."

She tried to drop Stephen off at daycare, but as soon as it occurred to him that she would not be staying, he started crying and running after her. "Stephen you have to stay"

"No" he cried

She could feel her patience wearing thin. This went against every rule, but she would just have to bring him to the lab. They were simply going over data, no testing was being done so he should be fine.

"I'm sorry" she apologized to Dr. Park when she finally got to the lab with Stephen in tow, "my husband's sick and he wouldn't stay in daycare."

He waved her off, "It's fine. We're not doing an experiment today anyway."

Amy sanitized a small area and let Stephen stay there.

Three hours later when she pulled into the driveway, she noticed Stephen fell asleep in his car seat. She couldn't wake him up just to walk into the house, that would just be cruel. She carried the bags inside and came back to the car to try to carry Stephen inside. She would never admit to Sheldon but sometimes carrying the twins made her back a little sore. She just made it through the front door when Sheldon came down the stairs "Let me take him" he said reaching for Stephen, "Go rest for a while". Amy didn't even have the energy to stop him. She trudged to the couch and sat down, putting her feet up on the space next to her. By the time Sheldon came back to the living room, Amy was fast asleep.

*3 weeks later*

"Thanks for coming" Amy said to Penny as she opened the door, "I just feel like I have a million things to get done, and Sheldon is with Leonard working on their project."

"Yeah, sure it's no problem. What do you need my help with?"

"Can you just watch the kids and maybe give them a snack?"

"Amy you said a ten-page list of things you need to do over the phone. I know you need help with more things than that."

"I could handle the rest" Amy said rubbing her stomach, "I just needed to make sure they were occupied first."

"Alright sweetie. But if you need something just yell" Penny said going towards the living room where the kids were.

2 hours later Penny heard what sounded like glass breaking. The twins were still napping on the couch unaware to the noise. She got up and slowly walked to the dining room where she last left Amy. "Amy? You okay?" She rounded the corner to see Amy gripping the island trying to stay upright as tears fell down her face.

"Amy!" Penny shouted running towards her, "What's happening? Talk to me"

"It hurts. It hurts so bad" Amy cried clutching her stomach

Penny wrapped her arms around Amy trying to get her as upright as possible, "We're going to the hospital"

Sheldon rushed into the hospital and saw Penny in the waiting room, "Where is she?! What happened?!"

"I don't know. She just said it was hurting so I brought her here. Howard came to pick up the twins. I'm just waiting on an update "

Sheldon ran to the desk, "I need an update on a patient, Amy Fowler-Cooper" he said running a hand through his hair

The nurse checked her computer, "They're running some tests. I'll let you know when they're done."

"What kind of tests? Is she okay? Is the baby okay?"

"I'm sorry sir. That's all I know."

Penny pulled him back to the chairs, "Its going to be okay sweetie" she said even though she didn't quite believe it herself, "I'm sure she and the baby are fine"

"You don't know that" he said putting his face in his hands

A short time the nurse from the front desk came towards them, "The tests are finished now. She's in room 224" she said pointing down the hall, Sheldon took off in the direction the nurse pointed to, not even caring if Penny followed.

"Amy" he said when he walked in the room "What happened?"

"I don't know. Everything just hurt so bad."

"You're still in pain?"
"No. They gave me something for it. This is all my fault, I should have stopped when I felt tired, but I thought I could continue and then rest at the end"

"It's not your fault Amy. Let's just wait to hear what they say."

Devyn came in the room 15 minutes later, "So we got the results back. You were in preterm labor. But we gave you something to stop the contractions" she said pointing at the IV

"Preterm labor? How did that happen?" Sheldon asked

"Amy, your blood pressure was almost in the preeclampsia range. That is probably what caused the contractions to start. How much stress have you been under lately?"

Amy shifted on the bed, "It was a rough three weeks"

"I'm sure of that. Now we're going to keep you for observation, until the contractions stop completely. Then I'm prescribing bed rest, to try to keep the stress to a minimum."

"For how long?" Sheldon asked

"Until this little girl decides to come out"
