A/N: Thank you for the reviews on the last couple of chapters! :) The Cooper twins now have names!
..
Sheldon looked down at the baby he was holding, as Amy held the other.
Amy was holding the smaller twin who mostly resembled her, whilst Sheldon held the baby which mostly resembled him.
"I like Melody for this one." Sheldon said, stroking her tiny tuft of jet black hair. "If you don't mind, I'd like to use my mother's name in her middle name? Except instead of actual Mary, I'll use the French version of Mary…So, Marie."
"That's fine." Amy replied, "Melody Marie Cooper. It fits. I like Ava for this one…But I have no ideas for a middle name."
"Farrah." Sheldon replied. "Your middle name."
"It's also my mother's middle name." Amy confessed, "it's kind of tradition."
"That's perfect then." Sheldon smiled. "Ava and Melody Cooper."
"It suits them." Amy nodded. "Should we invite the others in now?"
"You need some rest." Sheldon replied. "You just gave birth to twins and you're exhausted."
"Just quickly then." Amy tried. "I want them to see the babies."
Sheldon wrinkled his nose. "Okay…" He stood up and handed Melody back to her mother. "I'll gather everyone."
..
Sheldon walked out into the waiting room where his mother stood with Missy, George and Meemaw, Amy's mother, Penny, Leonard, Howard, Bernadette and Raj.
They spotted Sheldon and opened their eyes wide, expectantly.
"They're here." He grinned.
Everyone cheered, clapping and running to hug Sheldon and pat him on the shoulder.
He wasn't bothered by all the touching, in fact he was relieved.
"Uh…Families first guys, if you don't mind? Amy's really tired so we'll need to make the visits quick." He said.
"That's fine." The gang replied.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." Sheldon promised as he led his family and Amy's mother into the private suite.
Amy's mom gasped as she hurried over to her daughter and gave her a swift hug and kiss on the cheek.
"They're beautiful, Amy!" She smiled.
Mary was on the other side of Amy.
"They are! I'm so proud of you two."
"Oh they are so cute! What did you call them?" Missy asked.
"This one is Ava, and this is Melody." Amy replied, showing off the twins.
"Wow! Ava looks so much like you Amy!" Missy grinned, "And Melody looks almost exactly like Sheldon."
"Poor kid." George joked, making everyone laugh.
Once their families' visiting time was up, Sheldon invited their friends in.
"Oh Amy!" Penny gasped as she walked in. "They are so cute and tiny!"
"They really are beautiful." Bernadette agreed.
Amy smiled as she introduced the twins to their friends.
"I'm surprised Sheldon didn't run out of there in a panic!" Leonard joked.
"He stayed the entire time." Amy replied. "Like he said he would. I was worried too, but I didn't need to be."
Sheldon smiled proudly.
"Well, the hard part is over." Howard said. "You get to take them home in a couple days, right?"
Amy nodded. "Hopefully. They're healthy and happy." She confirmed.
Raj leaned forward. "They are the cutest babies I've ever seen. It's kind of making me broody…You know, in a manly way."
Everyone raised their eyebrows at him.
"Oh come on, you know I'm going out with Alex now!" He replied.
Everyone else nodded, but Amy and Sheldon frowned.
"You are?"
"Yes. She's officially my girlfriend; she has been since your Anniversary." Raj confirmed. "We're having an amazing time too."
"Wow, we've been so wrapped up in baby stuff that we never even knew." Amy said, regretfully. "Congratulations, Raj."
"Don't worry about it." He replied. "May I hold one?"
"Sure." Amy nodded, handing Raj Ava.
Their friends all took it in turns to hold the twins, until the babies got fed up of all the attention and started to cry.
"Alright, come on." Sheldon said softly, as Leonard handed Ava over to him. "We'll leave you to sleep now."
He placed Ava in the crib, and then Melody, dropping a kiss on each of their heads.
Amy stretched tiredly and felt her eyelids growing heavy.
"We'll leave you all in peace now." Penny smiled. "Congratulations guys. We'll see you tomorrow."
She hugged Amy, and then Sheldon as the group left the new parents to rest.
Sheldon sat beside Amy and held her hand again as she closed her eyes.
"You were brilliant Sheldon." She murmured. "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me." He replied. "I told you I'd be here…I can't believe that we're parents."
"I know." Amy answered, rolling onto her side, facing him. "You're a daddy! And a brilliant one at that."
Sheldon just smiled.
Amy sighed, as she felt sleep take over her body.
Sheldon leaned over to kiss her, still holding her hand as he closed his own eyes.
..
*The End*
Thank you so much to everyone who read this fic and enjoyed it; I really appreciate it!
I'll be writing a sequel to this, focusing on Amy and Sheldon's life with the twins, if anyone is interested? :)
It's probably going to go up either later or tomorrow.
I thought that 63 chapters were enough for this particular fanfic, so will be carrying on with their story (now featuring Ava and Melody!) in another fanfic to make things easier!
Again, thanks so much for reading and reviewing. You've been great!
