This takes place after season 9 episode 1.

i don't own these characters:

Two weeks, it had been two weeks since Amy had told him they were officially broken up. In that two weeks, she threw herself back into work, getting there early, leaving late. She couldn't bear to go home to that empty apartment. Thursday was the hardest day, date night. She stayed at work until well after eleven that first Thursday. The second one wasn't any better. She waited until ten, knowing he would be asleep. After all, that was always the end of date night as specified in the relationship agreement.

"Oh damn. " Amy thought as she got ready for bed that night. "I never signed the termination notice. Oh well he knows it's over, right? " she said to herself as as continued to get ready for bed.

That Friday night, she got home early. The first time in two weeks. Her boss told her she had been working too hard and needed to go home and rest.

"Rest." She thought bitterly ."Doesn't he know I haven't slept for more than three hours every night for the past two weeks? "She realized he had no idea. No one knew what was going on in her life, well except for her friends.

Her friends. Penny and Bernadette had been calling her every night to check on her. They were worried. She refused to go to dinner with them anymore because she wasn't ready to face him. She outright said no to a girls night at Penny's apartment because it was too close to him.

Would she ever feel right again? Amy knew she would but right now it was hard. She kept wondering over and over if she had done the right thing. She loved him, but was that enough? She thought it was for so long that she ignored his remarks and even defended him when others would put him down. It wasn't a matter of her loving him, did he really love her? That was the real question. She knew in his mind he did. But was he in love with her. Did he want the same things as her? She wanted it all, marriage, kids, that white picket fence and living out their sunset years together. There was no doubt that she wanted it, but he constantly mocked her about it, even this last time, telling her that her eggs were going to expire soon.

She decided she needed a hot bath. Nothing made her feel better than that. She was just about to step in when she heard the knocking.

Oh please don't let it be him. She thought as she pulled her robe back on and padded to the living room.

Whoever was on the other side of the door sure was being obnoxious as they kept banging on it. Finally she heard who it was.

"Amy, if you don't open this door right now, I'm going to go all Nebraska on it. And you sure don't want to have to explain that to your landlord." Penny screamed as she continued to bang on the door.h

Amy swung open the door just as Penny was about to knock again.

"It's about time." Penny said angrily, pushing her way into the apartment. Bernadette followed behind.

"I was getting ready to take a bath. What do you want?" Amy asked them.

"If you won't come to girl's night, then it will come to you. Now we have wine and snacks so go get dressed and get your ass back out here in five minutes." Penny said to her.

"I don't think..." She started but Bernadette cut her off.

"We don't care what you think. You have been hiding for two weeks now. This has got to stop."

"Fine" she relented and went to her room to change. She came out in the sweatpants and sweatshirt she had bought for first ever girl's night. "Better?" She questioned them as she sat on her couch. Penny handed her a glass of wine.

"Much." Bernadette answered her. "So, what have you been up to?" She asked her awkwardly. She knew from Howard she had been working all hours of the day. He even told her that him and Raj had gone to have lunch with her and she kicked them out.

"Working." She answered. "But I'm sure you knew that."

"I did. Howard says you're working too hard." Bernadette stated.

"I am not. I'm working no harder now than I did five years ago."

"Exactly. You are going back to your old ways Amy. That is not healthy." Penny said. "You should come out more with us."

"I can't." Amy said sadly.

"Why not?" Bernadette asked.

"I can't see Sheldon, not yet." Amy said her voice wavering. The idea of seeing her lanky ex boyfriend made her nervous. Amy did not know how she would react around him.

"Oh sweetie we understand. But you've got to get out." Penny said to her.

"I know. I'm just not ready."

"This isn't good for you. You look like you haven't eaten in weeks." Penny said.

"Or slept." Bernadette added.

"I know. I'm not getting any sleep. I just can't stop thinking about him." Amy started crying, wet hot tears rolling down her cheeks. She missed him so much it hurt sometimes.

"Oh sweetie, we understand. Breakups are hard. But what I don't understand is what happened. We haven't really talked since the night before my wedding." Penny said. " You told me you needed time to figure things out, but when I got back, you had completely ended it with him. What happened?"

"Sheldon...he...showed up at my apartment the next day to talk. I told him again I needed time. Then he made some off the cuff remark about having eleven hours. He accused me of seeing someone else as I was leaving to go to Bernadette's to watch your wedding. " Amy sighed, fidgeting with the ties on her sweatsuit . "He asked if he could walk with me. I agreed and he assumed this meant we were back together."

"He can be so dense sometimes." Penny stated.

"Anyway, we got to the house and since he wasn't invited, he stayed outside until they finally let him in. He kept pestering me about how long I needed and just saying really insensitive things. He even had the nerve to tell me that my eggs would be expiring soon so I better make up my mind."

"He said that?" Bernadette questioned, looking at Penny with a knowing expression.

"What?" Amy asked looking between her friends at their smug faces. They obviously thought they knew something that she didn't.

"Sweetie, listen. We all know how Sheldon's brain works, right?"

"Yes." Amy said." Or at least I thought I did."

"Well it seems to me as if he were trying to say 'Hey look, we aren't getting younger here'." Penny started.

"Yeah I got that." Amy said angrily

"Don't you see, this was his way of saying, if we are going to do this, it has to happen sooner rather than later. It sounds as if he wants to have kids with you." Bernadette said.

"No way." Amy said, shaking her head.

"Didn't you tell me that he got all excited at the prospect of having Martian children with you?" Penny asked.

"Yes." Amy answered slowly.

"So he's telling you in his own special way that he wants to have kids with you." Bernadette said.

"Do you really think so?" Amy asked them. Could that really been what he meant. Had that been his Sheldonesque way of telling her he was ready for sex ?

"Yes!" They both said at once.

"Now what do I do? Did I ruin it?" Amy asks distraught

"Go over and talk to him." Penny said.

"Do you think he wants to talk?"

"I didn't want to say anything but he is a mess. He looks worse than you."

"Really?" Amy asked

"Yes really. He is not sleeping, he hardly eats and he keeps muttering something about someone named Guiseppe."

"Who the hell is Guiseppe?" Bernadette asked.

"It's what we were going to name our turtle." Amy answered. "He thought the one that we were looking at looked Italian. Oh god what have I done? He probably hates me."

"He doesn't hate you. He loves you. You need to go to him and talk. Listen, I know all the guys are at the comic book store right now and he didn't go. Why don't we take you over there and you guys can talk. I can't stand the way the two of you look." Penny said.

"I guess it can't hurt." Amy agreed.

"Maybe you should change first." Bernadette suggested.

Amy looked down at her sweats and realized she was right. She went into her room and came out ten minutes later in her jean skirt, a blouse and a green cardigan.

"Much better. Now let's go get your man back." Penny said.

The three left her apartment and Penny drove them to Los Robles. Amy was very nervous. The three girls walked up the four flights of steps toward apartment 4A. When they got there, Penny and Bernadette headed into 4B while Amy stood outside of 4A. She raised her hand to knock but couldn't do it. Penny and Bernadette just watched, encouraging her to just do it. Finally she knocked. She waited and there seemed to be no answer. She was just ready to turn back to 4B when the door swung open.

"Amy?" He questioned, thinking he was seeing things.

"Hello, Sheldon." She squeaked out.

"What are you doing here?"he asks surprised his eyes light up like he can not believe she is really in front of him.

"I think we need to talk." She said gulping.

He stepped aside and let her in.

This will probably only be two chapters maybe three. Chapter two will be from Sheldon's point of view.

please review and let me know what you thought.
