A/N: I am so overwhelmed by the response to this story. I have never had 50 reviews after 2 chapters...you guys rock!

So Amy is back at apartment 4A and like I said they are going to have an adult conversation, so enjoy.

I don't own it:

Sheldon took a step back and let Amy pass into his apartment. She walked in and sat on the couch in the middle. Sheldon sat down next to her in his spot.

"Would you like some tea?" Sheldon said and got up to go to the kitchen.

"Not right now." She said.

"Okay well then, you said we needed to talk. What did you want to talk about?" Sheldon asked sitting back down.

"Well you certainly gave me a lot to think about when you left a couple of hours ago." Amy answered.

"I meant every word I said. You take the time you need. I won't go anywhere." He said.

"I know. But after a careful evaluation, I think I may have acted rashly earlier."

"Really?" He asked. He couldn't believe she had already changed her mind. He hadn't said anything profound to her. He wondered what changed her mind.

"Well that is, I think we need to have a serious talk about our relationship. It dawned on me, you were right, I never gave you the opportunity to talk."

"I said what I was going to when I came to your apartment. Let's not worry about that now. What do you want to talk about now?"

"Do you really know why I was so angry last night?"

"Yes because I was talking about a television show while we were making out. Penny explained it all to me." He said.

"Wait, Penny told you what you did wrong?" Amy asked.

"Well she said when kissing a girl, they want to know they are thinking about them and not other things."

"Maybe I was wrong coming here." Amy started to get up.

"No wait." He said and he put his hand on her arm to stop her.

"Sheldon, I want you to know what you did wrong, not have someone tell you what you did. I didn't realize you told Penny about what happened." Amy said.

"She has no idea what you said to me. I haven't see her or Leonard for hours. They ran off to Las Vegas to get married. I spoke with her earlier in the afternoon. To be honest I didn't listen to her. She told me that I needed to be thinking about you, I told her that I asked you if you thought I should watch The Flash. She gave up."

"So how did you figure it out?" Amy was curious.

"Amy, when you hung up I tried to go to sleep even though it was barely 8 o'clock. I couldn't stop thinking about us. It was a lot like the night I embarrassed you in front of your colleagues. You know me I don't like leaving things undone. I had to figure out what I did. So I went back through my mind and realized I have been a terrible boyfriend. I don't give you my 100% attention when we are together. I constantly have other things on my mind and that is not fair to you. When you told me it was challenging to be my girlfriend, it killed me. You told me you had been patient for years."

"Which you disagreed with by the way." She interrupted.

"Well in a way I do still disagree. You knew what I was like when we met. As a matter of fact, if I recall, you said to me that all forms of physical contact up to and including coitus were off the table. It was one of the reasons I brought you into my life five years ago."

"But Sheldon I am a different woman than I was all those years ago."

"I know but you know how I hate change." He said to her.

"But you have changed too. I never would have expected you to tell me you love me first."

"You were going to say it first."

"But I didn't you said it first. You made me the happiest woman alive that night. Then things started to get better. But do you understand that I am scared to death sometimes to mention things to you. When Leonard talked about moving out you heard me tell him you were still a flight risk and you agreed. How do you think that makes me feel?"

"I don't know. I am so bad at feelings and reading people. It is what I told Penny I wanted my super power to be. I hate the feeling of not knowing what people are thinking about. I hate that I have done that to you. I will not run away again. And you do know that I didn't run because of you, right?"

"I don't know that. We never really talked about it. All I know is you left shortly after you mocked me about having a future with you. All because I suggested we could live together."

"I understand, but that wasn't what did it to me. It was everything all at once. That train trip helped me understand my true feelings for you. I didn't go a minute without thinking how much you would have enjoyed all the places I had been."

"Then why didn't you call me when you were in trouble?"

"I explained that, I did not want you to know I failed." He said seriously. "I was embarrassed. I got robbed. I couldn't even spend more than a month away on my own."

"I don't care about that."

"But if I can't take care of myself on my own how will I ever be able to take care of you?"

Amy was taken back. He actually thought about that? She wasn't sure what to say to him. "Wait, what?"

"Amy, when I was away, I did a lot of thinking. I told you that is when I realized my true feelings for you. I was afraid. I didn't want to believe them. All I thought about for 45 days was you. You consume so many minutes of my day. And it scares the hell out of me. But I accepted what it meant. I love you and that will never change. I want you as a part of my life. I thought we had this settled when we made that video application together."

"Sheldon do you have any idea that is when these doubts of mine came in full view?"

"What do you mean?" He was shocked. He was sure they had worked that all out.

"I mean you didn't share with me that you filled out an application to colonize Mars. How was I supposed to react? We had talked long about getting a pet and we finally had decided together that a turtle was the best bet, not just because of the reasons we told Penny and Leonard but also because they last a long time. To me, that meant we were planning a future together. I figured a turtle could be just like having a child. I mean I don't think we will ever have a child of our own."

"Why would you say that?" Sheldon asked.

"Are you saying you want to have kids?" Amy asked shocked.

"Amy, before I met you I would have laughed at anyone who told me I would be having this conversation. I would have told them they were crazy to think that I would ever fall in love. I never wanted this but because of Howard and Raj's meddling ways I met you. And I will be ever grateful for that. So to answer your question, if you want kids then we will have kids."

"Sheldon, I don't want you to do anything just because I want it. I want you to tell me what you want. This is the problem. I am beginning to believe that you are only doing things because I want them. That is why I got so angry when you interrupted the make out session. I began to believe that you didn't want what we were doing."

"Amy, who initiated our first real kiss, I am not talking about a drunk kiss or because I gave you a gift?"

"You did but you were angry at me. I tricked you into romance."

"I was angry but I thoroughly enjoyed that kiss and every kiss we have shared since."

"Even the one under the mistletoe?" She remembered the reprimanding she got for kissing him in the Christmas tree lot.

"Okay I enjoyed it but we were in public." Sheldon had to admit he loved it but he didn't want her to get any ideas.

"We were in public on the train." She said matter-of-factly.

"That's beside the point. Anyway what I was trying to say is that I would not be doing something I was uncomfortable doing. I love kissing you."

"You do?" She asked.

"I do. I also initiated the make out session on my couch if I recall and we weren't at the end of our date."

"That is true, so why did you say what you said?"

"I had a lot on my mind. I said the first thing that came to me."

"What were you thinking about?" She needed to know the truth.

"I was hoping you would spend the night. I wasn't sure how to bring it up." He wasn't lying about that. That was one of the things he had on his mind, he knew it wasn't the time to bring up the ring. They needed to get back to normal before he would do that.

"You were?" She asked. She had hoped this would happen. Now she realized she had ruined it. "I'm sorry I got angry."

"No you have nothing to apologize for. I told you, I ruined the mood."

"No I think I may have."

"Amy let's just agree to disagree on this, okay?"

"Okay." She said.

"So is there anything else you want to discuss?" Sheldon asked.

"Yes one other thing."

"What's that?"

"I need you to promise me that we will be honest with each other. I don't want to be walking on eggshells around you anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that when I mention something like marriage or children you will tell me you are uncomfortable or not. If we are doing something in the intimacy department that you are not comfortable with then you tell me. I know you are ready for us to have sex yet."

"I'm sorry." He said. He needed to tell her that his body was ready but his mind wasn't. "Amy, I am almost there I promise you. That is why I wanted you to spend the night last night."

"Another G rated sleepover?"

"No I was thinking maybe PG or even PG-13." Sheldon said.

"Do you know what that means?"

"Of course I do. It means that we would do more than cuddle and kiss."

"Okay I just wanted to make sure. Besides I don't know if I am as ready as I say I am."

"Really?"

"Sheldon, I talk a big game. But I am just as inexperienced as you are. I think what our problem is is that we are grown adults in our first real relationship. We use what others think we should do as a basis for our relationship. At least I have. I listen to Penny and Bernadette when they tell me I am a very patient woman but then I think back to that day 5 years ago and you are right, I told you I didn't want any of this. But when I got girlfriends who had active sex lives, I thought that is what I wanted. Plus as I said weeks ago, you have pontificated your way into my heart. But I am nervous as well."

"You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. Now I don't want you to think it will be 5 more years because I even know that is too long but I would like to ease our way into this."

"Agreed."

"So is there anything else we need to talk about?"

"I think we are on the same page now. Please tell me when something is bothering you."

"And you do the same please. I can't do this. Even 4 hours was too long for me to think about not being with you."

"I promise, Sheldon."

"So it is pretty late?"

"Yeah it is."

"Would you like to stay the rest of the night?"

"G rated?"

"Well for now, I am pretty tired."

"Agreed."

"So where else do you have hidden sleepover bags?" He asked as they walked back to his room.

A/N: I hope you guys liked this. I feel this is a much needed conversation that has to happen in the show. I really hope the writers understand this. Anyway, next up will be them trying to get back to normal. Then we will have the proposal we all want to see..
