"Ames, Sheldon, we're going home, Ryan's getting fussy," Penny poked her head in, but from her angle she could only see Amy standing by the bed.
"Where's Sheldon?" Penny asked.
Amy smiled slightly and pointed to Sheldon who was now playing Legos with the twins.
"Aww," Penny cooed, "Well, have fun guys," she said.
"I'll walk you guys out," Amy said moving out of the room and walking out to the living room.
"Bye Amy, could you say bye to the twins and Sheldon please," Leonard said, standing by Penny at the door.
"I will, bye," Amy smiled as they walked out of the door, "Thank you for everything,"
Penny waved over her shoulder as they disappeared around the corner, "Oh Ames, don't forget Bernadette and Howard arrive next week,"
"I won't," Amy pushed the door closed and walked over to the coffee table to pick up the glasses of water that had been left there, supressing a sigh she walked to the kitchen.
As she placed them in the sink and started to wash it, she felt someone tugging on her pants.
"Mommy?" Tyler called, "I'm hungry," his lips formed a pout, his brown hair swept to the side.
Amy smiled at her son who recently had much less than her undivided attention. She dried her hands and scooped him up, "Well, would you like some spaghetti?" Amy asked.
"With little pieces of hot dog?" Tyler asked, his green eyes lighting up.
"If you like,"
"Yay!" Tyler clapped his tiny hands together, he wrapped his arms around her neck, pressing his cheek into her forehead.
"I love you, mommy,"

In the twins' bedroom Marie was speaking to her father.
"And so I decided that I would rather play board games with uncle Leonard than go shopping with aunt Penny,"
Sheldon watched his daughter. He had known her for so little time yet she already had him wrapped around her finger.
Her damp, brown hair hung by her shoulders, her blue eyes reflecting the blue he only saw in the mirror. She gently placed a Lego on top of another, her tongue barely sticking out of the side of her mouth.
She placed another block onto the previous one, softly placing it on the table.
"Daddy, do you like Massachusetts?" she asked.
Odd. "I have never been there, so I'm not familiar," he replied.
"May I ask why?" he said.
Marie shrugged as she continued to build the tower with caution.

After the children had been fed and put to bed, Sheldon and Amy sat together on the sofa. Sheldon shuffled uncomfortavly, Amy sat across him on the single couch.
"Amy?" Sheldon asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, Sheldon?" she said, almost surprised by the hesitation in his voice.
"I have some questions," he continued, clasping his hands on his lap and sitting erect.
"About what?" she asked, a look of curiosity in her green orbs.
"I have some questions about Marie and Tyler," he paused, "about what you told me at the hospital a couple of days ago,"
"About what I told you?" she asked, confused.
"Indeed," he took another pause,"you said that Marie hadn't been to the hospital for anything other than check ups since she was one, what about before?"
Amy shifted uncomfortably, looking at him sat across her,"It was a complication during labour, they both had to be kept in intensive care for some weeks,"
Sheldon's eyes widened, "What sort of complications?"
"I had an umbilical cord prolapse when I went into labor,"

Amy walked into her apartment complex and stood by the elevator, pressing the button and waiting for it.
She had a small bag of groceries on her right hand and her car keys in another. She knew Penny was going to kill her if she found out that she was driving.
To be honest, Amy was surprised she still made it into the car at eight months pregnant but after moving the seat as far back as possible she did, and it was all about practicality because her feet were killing her.
As she entered the apartment, she quickly put the groceries on the counter and sat down on the couch.
She dropped her head backwards and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. She was so tired and from all the research she had been doing, this was the easy part, especially with twins.
She dozed off for a couple of minutes, when she woke up to a pop. Her vision fuzzy, she looked down and felt moisture underneath her.
Her eyes popped open and she slowly stood up, she walked over to get her phone and called Penny.
"Hello Penny?"
"Oh hi Ames,"
"Penny, my water just broke,"
Silence.
"Penny,"
"Oh my god, I'll be right there,"
"Okay,"
"Have you had any contractions yet?"
"No, I just came home from—ahh," she dropped the phone and held onto the back of the couch, a hand on her belly.
"I'll be right there," she heard from the phone.
She took deep breaths as the contraction passed. When she was sure it was gone, she looked at her watch and waddled to her room.
She picked up her overnight bag and placed some extra items in it. She sighed as she took the bag out to the living room, dropping it next to the door.
She quickly walked to the kitchen and took out a bottle of water. She sat back on the sofa and took small sips of the liquid. As she put the lid back on the bottle she felt another contraction.
She held onto the armrest tightly, her face tense. Before long it was gone and she closed her eyes. She didn't even hear Penny come in, until she slowly tapped her shoulder.
"Ames?" she said.
"Hi, Penny," Amy said, "I didn't hear you come in,"
"That's alright," she placed a hand on her belly, "Are you ready? Leonard is gonna meet us at the hospital,"
Amy nodded, "I'm ready,"
