For the first time in his life, Howard Wolowitz was excited to be in a doctor's office. He was bouncing his leg up and down, drumming his fingers on his knee- anything to keep him distracted. Time was passing painfully slow. Even with Raj sitting next to him, Howard couldn't calm down. Here he was, a grown man, unable to contain himself as he waited. Every little sound made him jump. All he wanted was for that door to open and the doctor to come in and get things started. Today was the day that he and Raj were going to find out the gender of the baby.

"I think the baby is excited too," He told Raj. Howard placed a hand over his stomach as he felt their child move inside of him. Once, this would have terrified him, just the mere idea that there was a child growing inside of him. Now, he felt happiness. The fear and shame had not gone away completely, but Howard was just happy to be able to feel any sort of positive emotion. It had taken him six long months to get used to being pregnant. At long last he finally felt some comfort.

Raj had been his rock, keeping him from going off the deep end. He had been there for Howard through sleepless nights. Howard remembered the many evenings that he'd spent awake and crying; too afraid of what was to come. No matter what had happened, Raj was always there. Howard truly believed that he'd found his other half. Raj had seen the pregnancy as a blessing right from the start, facing his fears before Howard could. Now, finally, they could celebrate together.

The door opened and Dr. Monroe stepped in, followed by a lab technician. He greeted both men with a smile while his assistant began to prepare the ultrasound machine.

"Hell Mr. Wolowitz, Dr. Koothrappali. I'm very glad to see that you both seem very happy," he said, shaking both of their hands.

"We are." Raj told him. He placed an arm around Howard's shoulders. Dr. Monroe took the empty seat next to the patient's bed. He glanced down at his file, flipping through the pages.

"Are you two ready to find out the gender of your child?" he asked Raj and Howard, his eyes sparkling. The doctor loved to see such happiness in his patients.

"Yes," Howard said, nodding, "we are."

Raj helped Howard lay down on the bed. With loving hands, he lifted Howard's shirt up for him, exposing the skin. Howard had indeed grown larger. It would not be much longer before he would look undeniably pregnant. Raj traced his fingers along Howard's stomach. He loved seeing his boyfriend pregnant. It thrilled him to think that just beneath Howard's skin was a child, their child, growing. Raj was knocked out of his trance when the technician nudged him.

"We can start now if you'd like," the tech told him. Both men nodded. The expecting parents watched as the image of their child popped up on the screen. It brought tears to Howard's eyes. The baby was much larger now. Howard scanned the picture, trying to commit the image to memory. He loved everything about the baby, from its large head to its toes. He felt Raj grip his shoulder.

"I can tell you the baby's gender now," Dr. Monroe told them, his excitement obvious in his voice.

"We're ready," Raj told him. The doctor took in a big breath of air. Turning to both men, he smiled.

"Congratulations Mr. Wolowtiz and Dr. Koothrappali, you are going to have a baby boy."

….

The Cheesecake Factory had always been a favorite place of theirs. It was one of the only places that they were able to see Sheldon, Leonard, and Penny in a public setting. They were there for dinner now. Even Sheldon seemed happy that evening, munching away on his burger. Leonard looked at Howard and Raj and rolled his eyes. They had been giving each other love-struck, puppy dog, looks all evening.

"Can you just tell us what is going on? You two are acting like lovesick puppies and it's weird," Leonard wined, putting down his fork. Raj began to blush, suddenly shy. He leaned in to wisper something in Howard's ear, paused, realizing that no women were present and stopped.

"Leonard, the phrase "lovesick puppies" is ludicrous. Love is an emotional description reserved for Humans first of all," Sheldon snapped, "Second of all, what do you mean by lovesick? Scientifically, one cannot be lovesick. It's a miracle that anyone understands what you are trying to say."

Leonard dropped his head and sighed.

"Can we just get to the point?" he asked his friends. Howard looked around the restaurant and spotted Penny. He waved at her, motioning her to come over to the table.

"Sorry Raj," he told his boyfriend, "I want Penny to be here too, so you'll just have to let me tell them." Raj slumped down in his seat.

"Hey Howard!" Penny said cheerfully, "How are you feeling?" The second part of her comment was spoken in a hushed tone. She had been great about Howard's pregnancy, never revealing a thing to anyone. It had been difficult, especially when Penny had to see Bernadette. Howard's ex only knew that Howard and Raj were dating. She was still hurt.

"Well, today Raj and I went back to Dr. Monroe's office to get another ultrasound. We found out the gender of the baby," Howard told them. The jitters he'd felt earlier that day were returning. Penny let out an excited gasp.

"I don't get why you had to drag us all here just to inform us of your baby's gender. All children have genders, unless you consider hermaphrodites gender neutral. The fact that your child has a gender is nothing special," Sheldon said.

"Sheldon, shut up!" Penny told him. He looked taken aback for a second but quickly regained composure and focused on eating the remainder of his food.

"And?" Leonard said to Howard, still annoyed at all of the commotion.

"Drumroll please." Howard said. He dove into his bag and pulled out the newest ultrasound photo. The guys at the table never missed an opportunity for a drumroll. They began to beat on the tables in unison, even Sheldon took part. The sound reached its peak and came to an abrupt stop. Howard flipped the photo around to show his friends.

"It's a boy!" Howard shouted a little too loudly. Heads turned to stare. Howard blushed. Penny let out an excited squeal.

"Congratulations you guys, I'm happy for you," Leonard told them.

"Thanks man," Howard told him, "It really means a lot that you all have been so supportive."

"Howard, you may be creepy, but you're a friend. It's our job to be there for you," Penny told him. Howard smiled. Raj whispered into his ear.

"Raj says thank you too." Both Howard and Raj were shocked when Penny pulled them into a hug. She rarely showed any affection towards Howard, and it felt amazing to have such good people in his life. To Howard, having friends like his made the future see a lot less scary.

….

They had been inside of the apartment for less than two seconds before Howard jumped on Raj, kissing him roughly. Raj kissed back, eyes fluttering closed. Their kisses deepened as Howard opened his mouth, allowing Raj to slip his tongue past parted lips. As his tongue explored Howard's mouth, he felt his boyfriend let out a low moan. He tasted wonderful. They pulled apart to catch their breath. As soon as they could, they were kissing again. Raj felt his back hit the wall. Howard slid his leg in between Raj's. Both men were growing harder as the level of contact increased.

Raj's eye flew open for a second as Howard began to suck on his neck. He ran his tongue down Raj's neck then began to leave tiny bite marks on his skin. Raj arched his back, thrusting his hips forward as Howard began to nibble on his ear. The Indian man felt a hand slipping underneath his shirt. Fingers pinched his nipple, sending waves of pleasure through his body.

"Howard!" Raj called out, unable to contain himself. The engineer grinned, pleased that he was able to get such a reaction from the man. Without breaking the contact, both men made it to the couch and colappsed, intertwined in each other's arms. Raj ended up on top of Howard. He bent down and took off Howard's shirt. His fingers ran down Howard's chest, resting on his bulging belly. Raj placed a kiss on Howard's stomach.

"You're beautiful." he said. Howard smiled.

After a few more kisses, both men became aware that there was not enough room on the couch for both of them. Raj scooped up his boyfriend and carried him bridal-style into the bedroom. He carefully set his pregnant boyfriend down on the bed and hovered over him. Raj's fingers played with the hem of Howard's pants. Howard just stared at him with wide, lust-filled eyes.

"Please," Howard whispered. He took hold of Raj's hands and guided them to the buldge in his pants. Raj began to palm him through the fabric. Howard gasped as he relished in the contact and his hips arched up off of the bed. Raj scooted up so that he could stare into Howard's eyes. Slowly, Raj began to slip Howard's pants off and let them fall to the floor. Howard was only in boxers now, his arousal apparent. Raj sat up for a minute to take off his shirt. He sighed as he felt Howard's hands reach up and touch him. Over Howard's boxers, Raj took hold of Howard's dick and began to stroke him slowly. Howard grabbed onto one of Raj's nipples, and rolled it between his fingers.

Raj kept up a slow pace, moving his hand up and down. Howard bucked his hips and moaned loudly. He was so lost in the pleasure of the moment that he didn't notice when Raj slipped off his pants and boxers. Raj leaned close to Howard and pressed up against him, his dick rubbing against Howard's through the fabric. In one swift movement, Raj slipped off Howard's boxers. They pulled each other close. Howard wrapped his hand around both of their dicks and began to stroke them swiftly. They kept up this pace, moaning and panting together until Howard felt precum dripping onto his hand. He stopped and looked at Raj.

"Can we have sex? I mean is it safe for the baby?" he asked, his voice filled with desire.

"I don't know. I don't want to risk it." Raj answered, feeling dissapoited. A frown formed on his face.

"What if I'm on top this time?" Howard asked shyly. A deep crimson blush spread across Raj's face.

"We could try it…"

"We can stop if you don't like it."

"I trust you," Raj said. He sealed the deal with a quick kiss. Howard was shocked when Raj slid two of his fingers inside Howard's mouth. Howard sucked the digits, swirling this tongue around them. Once they were slick, Raj widthdrew them. Howard watched as Raj prepared himself, sliding his fingers inside of his own enterance. After a few moments, Raj pulled his fingers out and smiled at Howard.

"I'm ready."

Howard laid down on his back and Raj hovered over him. They paused, unsure of how to continue.

"You sure you want to do this?" Howard asked him again. Raj rolled his eyes and kissed his boyfriend on the neck, biting down on the skin.

"Does that answer your question?"

Raj straddled Howard and the engineer slowly entered him. It was a strange yet wonderful feeling. Warmth surrounded him. Although it wasn't intended, Raj was on top of him, still the one in control. He began to move up and down, moaning as he felt Howard inside of him. Waves of pleasure shot through both of them. The moment passed too soon and Howard felt the familiar buildup of pressure in his stomach.

"God Raj! " Howard said as he came. After a few more rapid thrusts, Raj came too. They collapsed into a heap on the bed, hugging each other close. It was quite some time before either of them spoke.

"So how was it?" Howard asked, opening one eye to get a look at his boyfriend. Raj could only offer him a dopey smile. Raj shifted so that he and Howard were cuddled together. Raj held Howard tight as both of them drifted off to sleep.
