A/N:Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and is following this story. It warms my heart. Here is a bit more about the train before we get to the sleeping arrangements. I hope everyone enjoys how I go about this story. I am taking it slow. I want them to grow closer before any big changes happen physically for them. I hope you all are okay with that.

And as always I do not own anything related to the BBT...this is just my ideas about what should have or should happen. Thanks to Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady for inventing these awesome characters.

Chapter 4: Now What

The rest of the train ride went by without any more incidents. The couples just talked happily about what they were going to do the next day and then the boys started talking about the Legos that Howard was planning on buying while the girls had their own private conversation.

"So now what are you going to do?" Bernadette asked Amy when they were out of earshot from the boys.

"I don't know. We have to share a room and when we left the B&B, Sheldon was not happy at all. I don't know if he has forgotten or if he just doesn't care at this point."

"So do you think he is going to freak out when he realizes that there really is only one bed and he will have to either sleep on the floor or sleep with you."

"I'm not sure. The way he has acted since he kissed me would indicate that he will not mind. But you know Sheldon, he will probably go right back to the way things were before this trip as soon as we get off the train."

"Well I hope not for your sake. He has come a long way and it would be unfair to you for him to take it a step backwards. Although I can tell you from observation he definitely enjoyed the kiss."

"How can you tell?" Amy was really curious. Sheldon had said he enjoyed it but that didn't mean he would want to do it again.

"Well first off he told us about it. When do you remember Sheldon sharing anything so private in all the time we have known him? Never that is when. You were the one who told us he initiated hand holding. But have we ever seen him hold your hand in public? Nope not once. Not until tonight."

"But he has held my hand in public. He has held my hands many times when we go to the movies or to the zoo."

"But never in front of his friends. Sheldon would have been ridiculed by the other guys if they had seen that. You saw Howard tonight. Can you imagine if Sheldon put his arm around you or held your hand at one of our many dinners in his apartment. He would never have heard the end of it. Tonight was different, he walked with you, hand in hand through the train and didn't even care that we saw him. No, whatever happened between the two of you, Sheldon enjoyed it. And I have noticed how often he is looking over here at us while talking to Howard. Something about him changed tonight when you kissed. Hopefully for the better."

"Well I hope you're right." Amy said to her.

"I know I am."

While the girls were talking about him, Howard was pressing Sheldon for what exactly happened between the two of them to make him so happy.

"Look Sheldon, I really am sorry for making fun of you earlier. It's just this is not like you to show emotion. I didn't think you had it in you. But I can tell that whatever happened between you and Amy has changed you. I just want you to know that I won't spread this around to the guys. It is your business and if you want to talk about it, I will be happy to listen."

"Thank you Howard. I appreciate you saying that. I am not sure what exactly happened. All I know is when I leaned in to kiss her, I was doing it out of spite. I felt she tricked me to get romance and that I was somehow punishing her by doing it. I didn't realize I would enjoy it so much."

"So what are you going to do now? It's not like you can go backwards in your relationship. And I am sure Amy feels the same way. You have opened the proverbial can of worms, you can't take it back."

"I know that. I will have to make some changes to our Relationship Agreement to accommodate this new level. I can't have Amy thinking that we are going to just kiss whenever."

"Wait, are you saying that you want to plan your kisses?"

"That's exactly what I am saying. I am not a hippie. I will not be forced into public displays of affection. This is a private matter."

"Sheldon need I remind you that your kiss tonight took place in public? I don't think it is fair to Amy for you to take that away from her. You may want to think about what you want because you don't want to upset her. Believe me she wants this. You guys have been going out for a long time and she has been very patient with you. More so than any one of us ever could have imagined. Remember when Penny told me that I needed to sign the prenuptial agreement that Bernie wanted. She said that no other woman would ever date me. I think the same goes for you with Amy. There is not another woman out there that would put up with your nonsense. She is a keeper. And whether you want to admit it or not, we all see how you feel about her."

"What do you mean you all see? I don't think I have ever displayed my feelings before in front of any of you. I will say it again, I am not a hippie."

"You may never have openly displayed feelings but the way you look at her says a great deal. We all see it. Penny even has a name for it: eye coitus."

"Eye coitus? That's absurd! I don't have 'eye coitus' with Amy."

"Okay we won't argue about it but my advice to you is to talk about what happened and work together to come up with an arrangement. Relationships are about working together not one person dictating terms to the other."

"Thank you Howard I will take that into consideration."

The couples came back together when the train was pulling into the station. Sheldon walked over to Amy and took her hand. They walked together over to Howard's car for the trip back to the B&B. It was then that Sheldon remembered that there was only one room waiting for them when they got back.

Oh boy. He thought. Now what am I going to do?
