Sheldon and Amy were waiting for Penny to tell them if Amy was pregnant
"You are pregnant Amy! Congratulations, both of them are positive" said Penny hugging Amy who was standing motionless in shock
"Amy this a good thing" said Sheldon cuddling her to him and kissing her forehead
"I know I am happy but surprised, I just wasn't expecting this so soon" said Amy
"Come on lets go tell everybody, that's if you want to" said Penny
"Yes I think so, it might be early but they all deserve to know" said Amy taking Sheldon's hand and leading him downstairs and Penny called everybody to the living room, the boys had no idea of why Sheldon had been dragged away
"Amy and I would like to announce that we are having a baby, we are only 6 weeks into the pregnancy and we still have to have it confirmed by the doctor but we wanted you all to be the first to know" said Sheldon
"Congratulations" said Leonard shaking Sheldon's hand hugging Amy, the rest of their friends did the same
"What do you want to have" asked Penny to Amy
"I don't really mind, but I do have a name that I would like if it's a girl but the only person I will tell that to at the moment is Sheldon and that's because I don't want to jinx it" said Amy
"Amy our babies are going to grow up together, they will only be a few months apart" said Bernadette
"Oh that's right, by the time I have mine if I am 6 weeks then your baby will be about 6 months old or just over" said Amy
"Amy we will make an appointment ton confirm everything at the doctors tomorrow" said Sheldon
The group then left and Penny went back to Leonard's apartment
"Now I want a baby" said Penny suddenly causing Leonard to look at her in surprise
"Really? You think we are ready? Asked Leonard
"I didn't mean right now, maybe in the next couple of years we will be" said Penny
"Our babies will be smart and beautiful!" said Leonard hugging her
The next day after Amy had spent the first part of the morning throwing up, Amy and Sheldon went to the doctors after making an appointment and were quickly called in, it was a new lady doctor that Amy hadn't seen before
"Hello I am Dr Barker, how can I help you today"
"Well I took two pregnancy tests last night and they were both positive, so I just wanted to confirm with you" said Amy
"If you took two tests and they are both positive then I would say that you are pregnant, would you like me to check you over?" asked Dr Barker
"Yes please" said Amy as the Doctor took her blood pressure and asked after Amy's general health and how long it was since her last cycle
"I would say that you are 6 weeks pregnant and you are healthy but I will arrange for you to have a sonogram at 12 weeks or sooner if you would prefer, there isn't much to see until then" said Dr Barker
"A sonogram at 12 weeks is fine" said Amy
"I will book you in then" said Dr Barker typing up something on her pc and printing out a letter with an appointment on it
Sheldon and Amy returned home
"You know Sheldon this means our baby will be born in March, just think we are going to have a little baby" said Amy
"I know I am excited too, I hope Daisy will be ok with the new baby though" said Sheldon
"Why wouldn't she be? Asked Amy curiously
"She's had all our attention since we got her and she might get jealous"
"She has never shown jealousy to anybody before so I don't think she will now and Bernadette will have her baby soon and we will see how she is then but I don't think we have a problem Sheldon"
"Ok I will go with your judgment on this one" said Sheldon
"I don't think I'm going to go to work today, am feeling very queasy like I could throw up at any moment" said Amy
"Do you want me to do anything?" asked Sheldon
"No I will just go and have a lie down" said Amy
"Right well I am going to stay home and take care of you anyway, if you need anything I will be at my desk" said Sheldon kissing her as they walked up the stairs together followed by Daisy who went into the bedroom with Amy as Sheldon started to go into the office
"Actually rather than me sleeping and you working, come in here with me and talk to me" said Amy
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Sheldon sitting on the bed with her and leaning back against the headboard
"Lets talk about baby names, have you got any preferences?" asked Amy
"Well I do like Mason and Gabriel for boys and Natalie and Brooke for girls, what about you?" asked Sheldon
"Oh I like them as well, I was thinking of Marie for a girl, that would be my first choice and Luke or Daniel for a boy"
"I take it Marie is after Madame Curie? Asked Sheldon
"Yes of course, when it comes to finding out the sex would you rather know before or wait until the birth, I don't mind whichever way"
"Well usually I don't like surprises but this will be a nice one, so lets wait" said Sheldon
"Agreed" smiled Amy at Sheldon and then leaning against him and kissing him
"Are you feeling any better now? Asked Sheldon
"Much better and you know what will take away the sickness?" asked Amy teasing Sheldon by reaching into his trousers and playing with his growing erection
"Do tell me Mrs Cooper" said Sheldon bringing Amy down on top of him and kissing her again
"Just kissing you makes me feel better but we can do more than just kissing" said Amy grinding against him, when suddenly the sound of the doorbell came which made Daisy bark and go rushing down the stairs
"Oh we can't catch a break can we" said Sheldon
"I will go, you sort yourself out" said Amy indicating his erection
Amy after putting Daisy in Sheldon's game room, went to the door to find two delivery guys outside
"Hi there, we have your dining table and chairs that you ordered"
"Oh yes, thank you bring them through" said Amy as Sheldon appeared next to her
6 weeks later
The group were hanging out at Bernadette and Howard's apartment, it was only two days until Bernadette was due to give birth and she had to give up work at 7 months due to her huge size and swollen feet, she had managed to get to 8 and a half months and the doctors had decided to give her a caesarean because they thought the baby would be too big for Bernadette to give birth naturally, she also had high blood pressure and was exhausted, Howard was doing everything he could for her, the day Bernadette was booked in for the caesarean was also the day that Amy was going for her first sonogram, she had the beginnings of a little baby bump and the sickness had stopped, she hadn't had any cravings yet
"Bernie we will come and see you afterwards if we are allowed" said Amy
"That will be nice" said Bernie tiredly
"I think we will leave you in peace" said Amy as the group started to leave
"The next time we will see you, you will have baby Rose! Said Raj who was excited about his god-daugher
Leonard and Penny drove back to 4a and on the way noticed a for sale sign on the house next door to Sheldon and Amy's, the house was almost an exact replica, so taking down the number, Penny called the realtor to arrange a viewing for the following day and then told Sheldon and Amy about it who offered to join them on the viewing
"Leonard I think we are ready to move in together and buying a house will cement our relationship" said Penny
"Yes I agree, everything is going so well with giving each other space and we can still do that in the house living together if we need to" replied Leonard
The next day the Realtor showed Leonard and Penny round the house and they liked it, it was set out inside just like Sheldon and Amy's and it also had a indoor pool, they made a bid which was accepted, they would have to wait 8 weeks for the owners to leave but in the meantime, Penny moved all her things into 4a and gave up the lease on 4b. Amy was especially excited to have her bestie living next door to them
The following day Amy and Sheldon went for the sonogram, Amy had been shown into the room by a nurse who had disappeared, she was on the bed waiting when the doctor appeared and greeted them
"Hi I am Dr Taylor, is this your first baby?
"Yes" replied Amy
"Ok, let me just get some gel and move the pointer over your belly" said the Doctor as she switched on the ultrasound machine, a few seconds later the sound of a heartbeat could be heard
"Sheldon can you hear that, that's our baby" said Amy happily
"I know" smiled Sheldon
"Now everything looks fine, you are 12 weeks pregnant, its likely that you will be due very early March" said Dr Taylor looking closely at the screen adding "I cant tell you what sex the baby is yet, its lying in the wrong position and also it is a bit early, its likely that at your next sonogram you could find out"
"Oh its ok, we agreed to wait until the baby comes" said Amy
"Ok, I will book you in again for another one at 20 weeks, have you had any problems so far?
"Only morning sickness but that has gone now" replied Amy
"Ok any problems, give me a call" said Dr Taylor handing her a business card
Amy and Sheldon left the room and turned their phones back on which beeped with a message shortly afterwards
"Oh Bernie's had the baby and they are in the maternity ward, lets go see them, we are allowed" said Amy
They went up in the lift to the maternity ward and were buzzed into the ward and were shown to Bernadette's private room, Bernadette was sleeping but Howard was there holding baby Rose as was Leonard and Penny who had just arrived
"Everybody I would like you to meet Rose" said Howard
"Oh she's beautiful, is she ok for being 2 weeks premature? Asked Amy
"Yes she also weighed 8 pounds which surprised the doctors" said Howard handing her the baby
"Oh thank you" said Amy gazing down at Rose
"How did your scan go" asked Penny
"Yes very well, the baby is fine and by March little baby Cooper will be here" said Sheldon
"Have you got any names yet? Asked Leonard
"Yes but we haven't really decided definitely yet" said Amy handing Rose to Penny who was getting broodier every day now that Amy was pregnant
After half an hour in the room, Bernadette still hadn't woken up and the little group left them to it, promising to visit again the next day
8 weeks later
Leonard and Penny with help from their friends had moved into their new house and were settling in well, the 2 months they had spent living together at 4a helped them a lot with their relationship, using Sheldon's old room for Penny to go and relax in if she needed space which wasn't often, her store was doing incredibly well and she and Raj had been talking about going for viewings if any stores became available, the demand they had for Men's clothing was high and they had felt it would be too good to ignore.
Amy went for her 20 week sonogram and she and Sheldon had decided they would find out the sex if possible
They saw the same Doctor again and she confirmed with approval from Sheldon and Amy that they would be having a girl which they were both happy about, in truth they didn't mind what they had
Once they were back home, Sheldon told Amy that he liked her choice of name for the baby which was Marie and then he rang his mother to tell her also, she was already very happy to be a first time grandmother and made Sheldon promise to come and visit
"But mom, why don't you all come here, Amy's pregnant and I don't want her to be tired from travelling, we have plenty of space in our new house and we want you all to see it"
"Ok I will book us all some flights and let you know Shelley" said Mary
Amy had also started working at Caltech the previous month and she had persuaded some of the addiction study team to come with her, her assistant Grace would be taking over temporarily in her place once she took maternity leave, she was planning to work for as long as possible and Caltech were giving her 6 months maternity leave, though she had decided that she would hire a nanny and work part time at Caltech, which Sheldon had approved of.
The same day Sheldon and Amy found out the sex of the baby they invited their friends over to tell them their news
"We would just like to tell you all that we are having a girl and we will be calling her Marie Cooper" said Amy happily
"Oh that's so pretty" said Bernadette her own baby was asleep in her carrycot on the floor, Daisy was laying next to her looking over at her protectively as she had done whenever they came over, which gave Sheldon hope that she would be ok with their own baby, even though Amy never had any worries about it
