The near future of the Big Bang theory

12: Meemaw's blessing

Halloween was already around the corner again. Things went smoothly for everyone. Just their normal ways. If everything went well, Zoey would graduate and have her PHD's by the end of next semester. She was excited! Caltech already offered her a space in their physics program.

The kids grew quickly, everyday Halley and Michael came home and had learned new things. Soon James and Riley would follow, they were both almost 1 and changed a lot.

It made Amy eager to finally be pregnant of her own, but it felt like things went so slow. Sheldon calculated everything, but so far they hadn't been lucky. Sheldon, of course, didn't really mind.

But today was testing day again. That time of the month Amy always tested, She was prepared to be disappointed again. She closed her eyes and with trembling hands, picked up the test.

Sheldon was pacing back and forth, why was Amy taking so long?

"Sheldon! Relax!" Zoey said rolling her eyes and casually scrolling through her phone. He ignored her.

"We're going to be late," he mumbled. That's when Amy finally appeared. Amy looked nervous but so happy at the same time.

She took a deep breath and walked closer to both of them with the test in her pocket.

"You took an awfully long time to get out of there. Are you okay?" Sheldon asked. Amy swallowed.

"No." She almost whispered it. Zoey looked up from her phone.

"What's wrong?" She also asked. They looked so much alike, even if they weren't related. They had the same worried look on their faces—the same attitude. Amy fell in love with them right there all over again. She took another deep breath and grabbed the test out of her pocket.

"I, I am pregnant." She softly said without looking at one of them. Zoey's eyes became big. Sheldon just stood there. He was afraid; Did he regret his decision to do this? It all of a sudden was so real! He started debating with himself if this was a good idea after all.

"OMG, Amy!" Zoey jumped up. She hugged her.

"That's amazing!" Amy could cry. She loved her enthusiasm.

"Sheldon?" She tried fearfully while letting go of Zoey. He was lost in thought but brought back when she called for him.

"We're going to be late." He burst out. Zoey sighed.

"Sheldon!" she gave him a sign.

"Oh, right." He shook his head. He was so confused.

"I am terrified." He said honestly, that was not supposed to come out of his mouth?

"I am too, that's okay." Amy tried.

"you will do great, both of you!" Zoey reassured them. Sheldon stared again; he didn't know how to react.

"I don't know what to do now." He stated, looking at both of them.

"Are you happy?" Fear was clearly in Amy's voice. Sheldon grabbed her shoulders.

"I am, I think, I just don't know what to do. Should I call a doctor? Do I need to tell anyone? Do I need to help you? I am confused" He was honest again, slightly panicking while asking those questions. Amy hugged him, which calmed him down.

"We'll figure everything out together." He nodded.

"You're probably right." Zoey smiled from a distance.

"So, mom, dad, are we going now?" She joked. But neither of them reacted to her calling them that.

"Yeah, right, I'll take my bag sweetheart," Amy simply said but was stopped by Sheldon.
