A/N:

The first chapter was about how I imagined things unfolded after the final of season 10, but from this chapter on, I'm taking this story and making it my own, so it might be OOC at times and it WILL NOT be in line with the plot of season 11.

This story will contain a shooting event, so if it's a trigger to someone who decides to read it, please read it carefully. I had this idea on my mind for a long time.

I want to thank bialikandparsons for helping with some things I wasn't completely sure about.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Chapter 2:

In the morning Amy woke up to an empty bed. She looked around her and didn't see a sign of Sheldon. she frowned and for a moment she was sure she dreamt the whole thing, until she moved her left thumb on her ring finger absentmindedly and felt something on her finger. She looked at her left hand and saw the ring that indicate that last night wasn't a dream. Sheldon did come to New Jersey and proposed to her and in the middle of the night she accepted his marriage proposal. A huge smile spread on her face, but it faded quickly. she still didn't have an answer to where Sheldon is.

Amy got out of bed and out of the bedroom. She soon caught sight of Sheldon's back in the kitchen above the stove, the smell of breakfast soon hit her nose.

"Hey." Amy said softly as to not startle Sheldon.

"Hey." He said as he turned to her with a smile on his face.

"How did you sleep?" Amy asked him softly as she caressed his back gently. She couldn't help but touch him after last night.

"Good, considering I wasn't in our bed. I guess I needed you by my side." He said with a smile and then wrinkled his nose.

"What is it?" Amy asked, trying to see if something was burning.

"That was too hippy dippy of me." Sheldon said.

"Yeah… a little, but you always keep it between us, so I think it's okay." Amy giggled at her fiancé and Sheldon thought about it and nodded. He knew she was right, that he only expressed those thoughts to Amy, except for one time three ago years where he got a little emotional in front of Bernadette when they looked for a gift for Amy for Christmas.

"What are you making for breakfast?" Amy asked as she picked at the what Sheldon was preparing from behind his arm.

"Pancakes and bacon." Sheldon said and kissed her forehead.

"Oh… goody, I'm getting hungry." Amy said and went to grab some plates and started to set the table for them.

"I also made you a fresh pot of coffee." Sheldon said as he flipped the pancake that was in the pan.

"Aww… thank you." Amy said as she stepped back to where Sheldon made breakfast and rose on her tiptoes and kissed Sheldon on the cheek.

Amy poured herself some coffee and then went to sit at the table while Sheldon took care of breakfast.

"So, what are you planning on doing today?" Amy asked Sheldon. she wanted nothing more than to stay with her fiancé, but she had to go to work. after all that's why she's in New Jersey.

"I actually didn't think it through." Sheldon answered truthfully as he put the last pancake on the plate and brought the plate to the table and sat across from Amy.

"Well, there's a mall not too far from here so you can buy some clothes if you want to stay a few extra days and I think I saw a comic book store there. There's also the campus libraries for you to hang in. oh, and there's a good Chinese restaurant close by if you want to order in." Amy laid out all the places she remembered she saw during the walk she took after she settled in her apartment.

"Thank you. I'll check out those places." Sheldon said as he cut himself a piece of the pancake.

"I wish I could hang out with you. I'll try and be back early today." Amy sighed.

"It's okay. you're here to work. I'll find something to do." Sheldon smiled softly at his fiancée.

"I know… but still…" Amy smiled softly and tilted her head to the side.

"Still what?" Sheldon asked her confused.

"I wish I could be with you today." Amy answered.

"I know. but we'll have a really long time to spend together." Sheldon said and gently grabbed her left hand and caressed her ring.

"Yes. we will." Amy said with tears starting to form in her eyes. she still couldn't believe that she was engaged to Sheldon.

After they were done with breakfast and cleaned the dishes, they were back in the room getting ready for the day. Sheldon felt extremely uncomfortable wearing the same clothes he wore the day before, especially after flying in those clothes, but he couldn't think of something else other than seeing Amy after Ramona kissed him.

As he remembered what happened with her, he went to Amy who was standing in front of the mirror, getting ready for work, and wrapped his arms around her waist and inhaled her scent.

"I'm so sorry Amy." Sheldon said softly into her hair and Amy turned in his arms, a little confused.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't see through Ramona's intentions immediately, and even when Penny told me I still didn't believe it. I am so sorry that it had to come to the point she kissed me. I'm sorry that it took another woman to kiss me, for me to finally propose to you, even though I wanted to do it for a while. I'm so sorry Amy…" Sheldon told Amy with tears in his eyes. he was overwhelmed with so many emotions that he felt the only way to let them go was crying. He was happy that Amy accepted his proposal, but at the same time he felt guilty and remorseful for all the years he didn't know to appreciate the amazing woman that stood by his side for so long and that he couldn't see through another woman's intentions and that he let her catch him unguarded with that horrible kiss.

Amy was shocked at Sheldon's confession and couldn't help but cry herself. She caressed Sheldon's cheek and wiped his tears away.

"I know Sheldon. I know." she whispered to him. Amy knew Sheldon and she knew he was selfish, she knew he could be difficult and that he has problems with reading people, but if there was something she knew about Sheldon for sure is that he wasn't a cheater and that he will never knowingly hurt her or their friends.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him softly, but Sheldon had other plans; he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her and deepened the kiss. In response Amy wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and let one of her hands stray to Sheldon's hair and she started to run her fingers softly through his hair.

"Amy…" Sheldon whispered with so much passion that made Amy's body quiver with desire.

"Tonight." Amy whispered back, knowing exactly what Sheldon meant by the way he said her name. She wanted the same thing, but she had to control herself.

"Are you sure?" Sheldon asked as he looked into her eyes.

"Only if you are." Amy said softly as she kissed his nose softly.

"You naughty vixen." Sheldon said as he pecked her lips and put her down so she could finish get ready for work and he then went to the living room and sat on the couch, staying away from Amy so she could finish getting ready for work or he won't be able to restrain himself.

"I'll see you tonight." Amy said as she came out to the living room and went to put on her jacket

"Have a good day at work." Sheldon said as he turned to her with a soft smile.

"Thank you. Have a good day as well. I'm sorry I can't leave you my laptop, but I have some information I need for work today." Amy said with an apologetic tone.

"It's okay. I'll go to the mall and try and find the comic book store." Sheldon said as he got up to kiss Amy goodbye.

"Okay then. I'll see you later today." Amy said shyly.

"I can't wait." Sheldon whispered with the same shy tone and kissed his fiancée deeply and Amy melted to the kiss in less than a second.

"Keep it up this way and I'll stay here for the rest of the fellowship." Amy whispered to him after they broke the kiss.

"Doing what?" Sheldon asked her confused.

"You." Amy said as she wiggled her eyebrows at him and Sheldon changed ten shades of red in less than a second.

"You should go now." Sheldon said with a passionate tone that said exactly the opposite. Both Sheldon and Amy knew he wanted her to stay, and Amy wanted to stay with him as well but she came to New Jersey to work and she couldn't skip work.

One last peck on the lips and Amy was out of the apartment. Sheldon went to sit on the couch and sighed heavily.

The things she's doing to me. Sheldon thought to himself as he felt his member signaling him that he needs his fiancée. He breathed deeply in order to calm himself down. he can hold on for a few more hours.

He closed his eyes as he calmed himself down, but his mind conjured pictures from the last time they were together and it achieved the exact opposite of what Sheldon tried to achieve in the moment.

Curses. He opened his eyes immediately. He went to grab a bottle of water and drank the entire thing in a few gulps. He then checked himself and saw that his situation wasn't so bad, so he decided he'll go to the mall to buy some clothes and comic books so he'll have something to pass the time while he's still at Amy's apartment. he didn't know how long he's going to stay; he knew it wouldn't be for too long let alone the entire three months she'll be there, but he wanted to stay for a little while longer.

Amy got to her office with a smile that she didn't even notice she had on her face, until one of her colleagues pointed it out to her when she greeted him.

"Good morning indeed. You seem pretty happy today." Gerard said with a small smile himself.

When Amy first met him, she couldn't help but hold back her laughter as she recalled her old toothbrush that she tossed a couple of years ago, but by now she got used to it. she still giggled to herself at times, but all in all she was over the coincidence.

"Really?" Amy looked at him confused. She definitely felt happy. Her boyfriend, no her fiancé, was waiting for her back in her apartment.

"Yeah, it looks like you can't stop smiling no matter what you're saying." He pointed out to her.

"Oh… I didn't even notice." Amy said shyly as she put her bags down and wore her lab coat and put her hair in a ponytail.

"Well, I'm happy for you, no matter what brought it up." Gerard said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dr. Williams." Amy said and started to work, not elaborating why she can't stop smiling even though the reason for it is right there on her left ring finger, that Gerard either didn't notice or ignored completely.

The day passed by and for some reason Amy didn't mentioned the engagement to any of her colleagues, as if she didn't want to jinx it or still wanted to keep what happened to herself.

Amy thought no one would notice, until Irene, one of her colleagues that nothing escaped from her sight noticed the ring on her finger.

"Oh my god! Amy did you get engaged?" She exclaimed.

"What?" Amy asked her confused since she wasn't used to it yet and was still overwhelmed by what happened. Irene then pointed at Amy's ring.

"Oh… yeah." Amy said shy smile.

"Congratulations. Why haven't you said anything? Aren't you happy about it? Do you love him?" Irene started to fire question at Amy who looked at her with furrowed brows. Amy just started working there and didn't really formed any friendships yet, but from what she has learnt about Irene so far was that she's a little nosy and tend to ask direct questions without filtering them. In that sense, Irene reminded Amy of herself when she just met Sheldon, Penny and the group when she asked those types of private questions, and she tried to move pass it and be patient with her, but at the same time it made Amy cringe a little bit.

"It just didn't come up." Amy answered simply, hoping to end the conversation with that sentence and that Irene won't pressure her to answer her questions.

"So… did he surprise you?" Irene continued with her questioning.

"Um… yeah. He did." Amy answered flatly. She couldn't deny that Sheldon surprised her.

"Ooo, how did he propose?" Irene got excited about getting some details.

"Um… well… he came all the way from California and showed up unannounced at my apartment and when I opened the door he was on one knee asking me to marry him." Amy said quickly as she went to wash her hands.

"Wow… he either really missed you or he cheated on you." Irene simply said as she piled up some papers.

"What makes you think he cheated on me?" Amy asked her, annoyed. Sheldon already told her what happened with Ramona, and she knew him and she could tell that he was unaware of her intentions the entire time, until he asked her directly what is it that she expects from him.

"You only got here a week ago and you're going back to California in three months. he probably did something bad and feels guilty for it so that's why he couldn't wait three months to propose. That's what men do. Trust me. I know them. you should try and get the truth out of him." Irene told her knowingly.

"Well, you don't know Sheldon and you don't know our relationship, so I'll appreciate it if you keep your knowledge to yourself." Amy said angrily as she stripped from her lab coat and grabbed her purse and jacket and went out of the lab.

"Seems like I hit the nail on the head." Irene mumbled to herself when Amy was out of the lab.

Amy was so angry at Irene for what she said and how she just decided that all men are alike without even knowing her, Sheldon and their relationship that she decided to go home early. She was annoyed that Irene kept prying after Amy wasn't talkative and answered her question in a very superficial way.

It was 2:30 pm when she arrived to her apartment.

"I'm home." she said as she put down her purse and took off her jacket, but there was no answer.

"Sheldon?" she called out his name and walked to the bedroom to see if he's there and then she checked the bathroom, but he wasn't home.

That's weird. She thought to herself.

Maybe he went to buy some clothes and food. She wondered and grabbed her phone and texted him.

Hey. I got home early. Where are you? –A

Amy typed a somewhat cold message as she sat on the couch and took off her shoes.

I went to the mall to get some clothes and to the comic book store. Is everything okay? -S

Sheldon answered after a minute.

Yeah… I guess. I'll tell you when you're back home. do you want me to prepare lunch or have you eaten already? -A

I haven't eaten yet. I was about to get some food and then head back to your apartment, but now that you're back I'll come back home. would you rather that I'll get us some take-outs? -S

That'll be great. Thank you. -A

What would you like to eat? -S

Whatever you're eating, bring the same for me. -A

Amy was having a headache from the conversation with Irene, that she didn't really had the energy to think about what she wants to eat. Anything will do at this point.

I'll bring us some Chinese food. -S

Great. Thank you. -A

No problem. -S

Amy took off her glasses and laid on her couch. She pinched the bridge of her nose as she remembered what Irene told her and got angry all over again.

How dare that woman to declare those kinds of things without even knowing her or Sheldon. what she said was close to what happened, but at the same time it couldn't be further away from the truth.

Or wasn't it? Amy thought to herself.

"Ughhh. I know Sheldon. he would never do that!" Amy talked to the empty room, getting angrier that she let Irene get into her head. She tried to calm herself down and reassure herself that Sheldon won't do that, but the doubts kept creeping up on her. eventually she fell asleep on the couch.
