So here it is guys, I've read the idea of Amy getting pregnant from their first time in a comment section (I swear, I don't know where). The idea stuck in my head, you know, like a headworm ; I thought this would make a great story here and no one seemed to write it, so I did. All reviews are welcome :) Three chapters are already ready so the beginning will be a fast upload.
I plan to continue my other story too, but now I had the urge to write this instead.
Amy was sitting in her bathroom at the edge of the tub as she was watching the two little lines on the pregnancy test she took two mintues ago.
„ It can't be" she said that out loud. "It just can't be"
She was pregnant. What kind of loser gets pregnant from her first time ever? How could this even happen? She was on the pill, she told that to Sheldon but she insisted to use a condom, which he rejected. He wanted to show her that his fear of germs was over, so they didn't use it. Well now it turned out that they really should have. She knew the pill was only 99 percent trustworthy but who cared about that one tiny percent? As thinking about it it came into her mind that she vomited once that week, because of trying out a new Indian place with Bernadette and ordering a delicious looking but clearly poisonous dish. But it was two days before her birthday and she never thought about it like it can cause a problem like this. She was familar with all the hormone activity behind everything but never was aware that this small change could mean such a big change. She wasn't even running late, her period was due in 3 days. She just felt something was different inside her, she felt her breasts like she became well aware of them all day, and her bras mostly the Victoria Secret ones started to be really uncomfortable. She experienced smells the way she have never had before and first of all she felt sleepy all the time. After a week she became suspicous of what was going on. She was a biologist and as she checked her body temperature she already knew that all this signs could point to pregnancy. Still she didn't really believe that until that moment when she saw the two lines. It was so unlikely and also here was a lot going on in her life now that could also explain the changes. But now her hopes crumbled and she had to face the reality that she is going to have a baby. A baby from Sheldon Cooper. She shook her head. Statistically there was so little chance that could happen. She is already over thirty, way after the peak of human reproducing chances.
What will she do now? She feared Sheldon's reaction more than his mothers and those were big words from someone who spent half of her childhood in a sin-closet. Sheldon loved her and maybe sometimes he also wanted to start a family, but he timing was not right, and her boyfriend doesn't like changes. No, he hated changes. He hated life getting in the way.
By the way she hated that too. She had a career and she was working on a really important research, which was still running for two more years. What will happen to that? To her career? To her relationship in which she finally was truly happy. How would they friends react? She was sure they would be supportive, but how long would they stick to a mommy with a baby? She finally had it all and didn't want to lose it, but change was knocking on her door so early. She found that extremely unfair, this kind of thing happening to her. To her who never even had sex til her thirties. To her who was on the pills. To a scientist. To a woman who finally achieved everything she ever wished for. Sure, she wanted children. But in her dreams she was married by that time and she and her loving husband were together in this, hoping for a positive test.
She couldn't help herself as she started crying. She felt the guilt immediately since she knew that such negativity had an effect on the baby and she knew she should be happy and she should love her baby. But for now she was incapable of love, she could only feel desperate.
The only right thing to do which could help her was to visit Sheldon and tell him. She knew that compared to that, walking into mordor is a simple thing, as the guys would say it, but still she had to do it. She stood up and tried to wipe her tears away. She blew her nose out then put the test into her bag.
She arrived twenty minutes later into Los Robles and she parked her car in front of the building. She was trembling as she locked the car and walked in.
" Hi Amy, how are you doing? Looking for Sheldon?
Leonard ran off the stairs smiling to her.
" I'm fine. " she said as she tried to breathe.
" Oh, well, I'm just going to get some takeouts, it's pizza night as you know, and I guess you'll stay for dinner, so what's your order? "
" I don't know."
" The quattro formaggi was great last time. Or do you want something with meat on it? "
" I don't know" she shook her head again looking fearful.
Leonard finally realised that's her behaviour was unusal.
" Are you okay Amy? You seem so pale. " he said worried and walked closer to her.
" I don't know. " she kept repeating.
" Amy, you're trembling. Maybe you're getting sick. I'm going to go with you up to the apartment. Penny is there, she will help, or we could call Sheldon. "
" Please, don't! " she asked almost begging.
" Amy, what is wrong? "
" How could I raise a child if I can't decide what pizza I want to eat? " she askedwith tears in her eyes.
" What? How does that come here? " Leonard seemed puzzled.
" Leonard, I'm pregnant. " she said it with a painful look.
" What? WHAT? Are you? "
" Please, don't shout it, okay? " she asked.
" Fine, fine, but how? I mean you two are so smart. Your IQ's added are above 350. Why didn't you use protection? " he asked now whispering.
" We did, it just all went wrong. I wanted to tell Sheldon. But I can't. I just can't. I need to get out of here. "
" Okay" he said and they just walked out. Amy was about to get in her car.
" Please don't tell him. And to anyone. "
" I won't. And you can't drive like that. "
" Like what? Pregnant? " she asked angrily.
" No. Like this upset. I'll drive. We use you car, so you won't leave it here. I'll call Penny and tell her that I have to wait a lot for the pizza because of a big group order right before us and then we can talk. Okay?"
" Okay. " she said.
" But I warn you, Penny is far better than me in situations like this. Plus you are her best friend. Are you sure you don't want to tell her? I could ask her to be with you, she could sleep at your place or whatever you need. "
" No, please don't. I trust her, but I'm in shock right now. I didn't intend to tell you. It just slipped... "
They got in the car and Leonard started it.
" All right. It is still so unbelievable. I will tease Sheldon with his super reproduction for a lifetime! " he said smiling but he stopped as he looked on Amy's face who still was about to cry.
She remained silent for the road and heard how Leonard lied about the big line to Penny.
As they arrived to Amy's home, Leonard offered to make her a chamomille tea. She sat on her couch just staring at the floor. She accepted the tea from Leonard and he just sat next to her.
" Okay, I'm still processing the information, but how long have you known it? "
" I just found out an hour ago. I took a test. "
" And are you sure? "
" Yes. I had all other signs. Really early ones. And I actually took two tests. The other one I took in the university and sent it to the lab as it were someone else's. I got the results online an hour ago and then I took the regular one to make it hundred percent sure. "
" Oh, I see. " he said.
" Do you think he will hate me because of it? " she asked finally what she was afraid the most.
" Who? "
" Sheldon." she said and started crying again.
" Why would he hate you? he asked.
" Because I ruined everything. "
" By getting pregnant? It is not you fault, I mean he was there too obviously. And I'm sure he won't hate you. He never could hate you. But this would be hard on him as well. "
Amy was crying again.
" How should I tell him? "
" I don't know. I think at first you should calm down. Invite Penny over maybe for the night. You don't have to tell her, just pretend you want to do some girly thing with her, and I'll persuade Sheldon to play something extremely nerdy with me which is hours long, so she will be bored and come anyway. Then you could tell him tomorrow. "
" I'm afraid if I invite Penny over, I will tell her anyway. I don't want everybody to know about this but Sheldon. "
" Well, I clearly can't stay. "
" I know. I didn't wanted you to and I'm really thankful for your help so far. "
" You're welcome. " he smiled at her slightly.
" You have to go. I'm gonna be fine. I promise. "
" And I'm already an awesome godfather, I hope you noted that. "
Amy finally smiled back.
" I did. I just can't think about things like that for now. "
" I get it. " he said and gave her a hug before saying goodbye.
Amy felt a little relieved as she got this much support from Leonard, who she wasn't even close with. She was getting ready to go to bed early secretly hoping that she would wake up from that all and it will fade away by morning as night terrors do.
