The Big Bang Theory Fanfic
The Fowler Anxiety Conclusion
Chapter five
Amy walked slowly into Sheldon's hospital room and looked around at the machines, she did not really know what to do, or say. Amy's guilt hung over her head, she had told herself time and time again that it was not her fault, that the light was green for her, that the driver in the other car had run a red light, but she still felt guilty. If only she had left a bit earlier, or a bit later, if she had not been so annoyed about Sheldon and Leonard being late, if she had have looked right for just a split second longer, she may have seen the car and stopped the accident from happening. But there wasn't anything that could be done now. Her husband was in a coma, and her daughters were in intensive care, there was nothing she could do about it now.
"Hi Sheldon" Amy started forcing herself to speak to him "I don't really know what to say" Amy forced a smile "Stephen's okay, worried bout you, of course, but okay physically. I'm okay too" Amy wiped a tear from her eye "Harmony and Melody are quite sick" Amy's eyes filled with big warm tears again "but you seem to have come off the worst"
Amy laid her had down on Sheldon's bed and listened to the beeps for what teemed like hours. She kept drifting in and out of sleep, the noises of the machines acting like some kind of lullaby and alarm in one
"Any change?" Amy hadn't heard Leonard come in
"no" she looked at the machines that had been both soothing her to sleep and waking her up just a few seconds earlier, the pattern of his heartbeat reminded her of the way her hands danced when she was playing the harp, until it didn't.
It seemed like the room went from a snail's pace to a cheetah's run in less than half a second. The doctors came in, she and Leonard were removed from the room, and all they could both do was watch.
Amy watched as the man she loved, the man she had been patient with over the years, the man she had three wonderful children with was worked on. His life in the hands of strangers, the only thing they had in common was their level of education. Amy had a doctorate, they had a doctorate, yet Amy was helpless, while they did all they could to try and save the life of someone they didn't know.
Leonard watched as his best friend's heart was literally breaking in front of his eyes. He thought back over all the years, from moving in together when Sheldon had yard furniture in his living room until now, a married father of three.
"I'm sorry, Mrs Cooper" Amy listened to the doctor as she told them the worst possible news "there's nothing more we can do, I'm afraid your husband has died"
