"Honey are you ready?" Penny called, grabbing her handbag off the counter in the kitchen.
"Of course" Sheldon said, holding the front door open for her.
"So place your bet, boy or girl?" Penny smiled, sitting into the car.
"Penny the odds are even therefore I'm not betting on anything" He locked the front door and slid into the driver's seat.
"Okay fair enough but what do you want it to be?"
"Healthy. That is all I want our baby to be"
"Uhm why is there two?" Penny asked, staring at the monitor.
"Oh congratulations, it's twins!" The nurse exclaimed.
"T-t-twins?" Penny stuttered.
"Indeed, " She smiled, checking the heartbeats.
"Well, multiple births run in my family" Sheldon smiled, squeezing her hand.
"Everything's looking good, your two boys have good strong heart beats, I'll go print off some pictures for you two" The nurse rose from her seat and left the couple alone.
"Oh my God, twins Sheldon" Penny exclaimed, pulling him into a kiss.
"Twin boys" Sheldon said, wiping the gel off Penny's bump with some tissues.
"Hey dad, had the ultrasound earlier" Penny said, putting the phone down on the counter, while she started cooking dinner.
"Oh how did it go baby?" Wyatt asked.
"Daddy, we're having twin boys!" Penny exclaimed, peeling the potatoes.
"W-w-what? Twin boys?"
"Mmmhmmm I'll send you a copy of the picture in the mail"
"Congratulations slugger, how does Sheldon feel about it?"
"He's over the moon, he's in his office looking at prep schools" Penny laughed.
"Honey I'd love to stay and talk but I gotta get into town for a new timing belt for the tractor before the store closes"
"Alright dad, I'll talk to you soon, love you"
"Love you too baby"
"How are you feeling?" Sheldon asked, putting their bags in the overhead storage compartments.
"Good, our boys are little excited" She said, putting her hand on her bump and feeling a familiar thump.
"Oh my are those two off again?" Mary asked, popping some butterscotch into her mouth.
"Mmm they haven't stopped since we left the house" Penny smiled, they were heading off to Sweden and Sheldon was going over his speech in his head.
"Want an apple drop?" Sheldon asked, holding out the bag to Penny.
"Thank you honey" She said, taking a few out of the bag, she'd had non stop cravings for apple drops while she was pregnant.
"Penny, I recommend you try and get some sleep, we have a long flight ahead of us and it will help pass the time"
"Will do Moon Pie" She said, snuggling up against him.
"Awh she calls you Moon Pie too" Mee Maw said, smiling at Penny who was already asleep.
"I have told her on many occasions that only you are allowed to call me Moon Pie but she persists" Sheldon sighed, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"I think it's sweet" Mee Maw pulled out her book and began reading.
"I would like to first of all say what an honour it is to be here, receiving this award, it has been my life's goal to receive this for as long as I can remember and I do in fact gave an eidetic memory. There are a few people that I want to thank but there is one person in particular" Sheldon locked eyes with Penny and smiled at her softly. "I would like to thank my wife and best friend, Penny. Penny you have always supported me, and metaphorically speaking you have been my rock these past few years, I don't think you will ever know how much you mean to me and that none of this would have been possible without you and with our two boys on the way, I don't think I could be any happier if I tried. I would also like to thank my family members, my grandmother, my mother and my siblings, who have supported me throughout the years and not just blood relatives but friends who have become family. I may not always show how much you all mean to me but I hope you all know how much I appreciate you all and your continued support. It has been an honour to stand here before you all and accept this award. Live long and prosper" Sheldon stepped away from the podium and returned to his seat beside Penny, who was wiping a few stray tears from her eyes.
"Penny? Why are you crying? Did you not like my speech?" He asked, looking at her with worried eyes.
"No honey, the exact opposite, I loved it and I love you. I'm so proud of you Moon Pie" She pressed her lips to his gently and rested her head on his shoulder, holding his hand for the rest of the ceremony.
"Ah Dr. Cooper, wonderful speech, this must be your wife" A man said, shaking hands with Sheldon.
"Thank you Dr. Farrell, yes this is my wife Penny"
"Hello, Mrs. Cooper" He greeted, shaking hands with her too.
"Pleasure to meet you" Penny smiled, Sheldon slipping one of his hands around her waist.
"So you two are expecting twins?" He asked, sipping some of his champagne.
"Sure are" Penny confirmed.
"Ah here's my fiancé" Dr. Farrell said and Amy walked over to join them.
"Amy? It's great to see you again" Penny beamed, pulling her into a hug.
"Everything alright dear?" Dr. Farrell said, handing Amy a glass of orange juice.
"Everything's peachy" Amy smiled and Penny released her.
"How have you been?" Sheldon asked, wrapping his arm around Penny again.
"Great, John and I are actually expecting our own bundle of joy" Amy announced, linking arms with Dr. Farrell.
"Oh that's wonderful, we'll have to set up a few play dates"
"That sounds like a good idea, Penny would you like to take a walk with me? I find inside to be a bit stuffy"
"Sure, I'll see you in a while honey" Penny gave him a kiss on the cheek and the two girls headed off outside into the cool night air.
"Well it's nice to see them getting along" Sheldon let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, Amy told me about everything that happened but she's glad everything turned out okay"
"As am I, Penny has been missing her a lot lately"
"We should all go out to dinner when we get back home" John suggested.
"That would be nice" Sheldon smiled.
"When is your due date?" Amy asked, sitting down on one of the benches.
"They said the twelfth of April how about you?"
"July fifth" Amy smiled. "So twins?"
"Yep, gonna be the size of a house soon" Penny laughed, resting her hands on her bump.
"I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end"
"Mmm, so how did you and John meet?"
"Oh I was at a convention in Washington and we instantly clicked, he's from Houston, that's who I was going to visit when I stopped by"
"He seems like a nice guy"
"He's a great man" Amy said, smoothing down her dress.
"You guys doing anything for Christmas?" Penny asked, pulling her wrap around her tighter.
"We're going to visit his family in Houston this year"
"Penny?" Sheldon called and Penny turned her head to see Sheldon and John walking toward them.
"Sup Moon Pie?" Penny replied.
"It's awfully cold out here" He put his suit jacket over her shoulders "We should be getting back to the hotel it's past my bed time"
"Same old Sheldon" Amy laughed, heading inside with John beside her.
"Shall we depart?"
"Mmm sounds like a good idea honey, I'm exhausted"
