CHAPTER 4: The family confrontation

Amy didn't know if she wanted to gloat about or worry about her boyfriend and his new attitude. He was different or maybe he was finally showing his love for her. Feeling brave and she gave him a hug. Sheldon didn't respond to it but he didn't flinch away either. A few seconds after the embrace ended, Sheldon finally spoke.

"Let's go inside, please," Sheldon said.

Amy nodded and followed him to the door. Sheldon grabbed the key of the house from a flowerpot and opened it for Amy. He was a true Texas gentleman not a cheesy facsimile like Daniel Galvez.

"Finally, I'm home! I think I missed been here. Everything looks exactly how I left it," Sheldon said.

The same wall color, the same flowers that his mother loved, and religious bric a brac wherever one turned. Yes everything was exactly like old times.

"Oh I'm sorry Amy, where are my manners? Would you like to use the bathroom? Or do you prefer a beverage maybe?" Sheldon asked.

"Thank you, Sheldon, that is kind of you. I would to take a shower," she said.

"Excellent idea. We have been exposed to airport germs. Allow me to show you your bedroom, follow me please," Sheldon said.

They crossed through the house, it house was bigger than it looked outside. Like a Tardis. Amy frowned, she had just internally referenced Dr. Who. She stopped in the middle of the hallway to gaze fondly at some pictures of baby Sheldon.. He was so bright eyed and cute. I hope our kids look like him, well, if one day we have them. Amy smiled at her thought as she picked up a sweet picture of her boyfriend playing with action figures on the floor. Sheldon noticed that Amy wasn't following him and turned over.

"You were an adorable baby, Sheldon."Amy said.

"I know, when that picture was taken I was a year and a half and I already know how to count 1 to 100, how to walk and use the bathroom alone."

"Are you kidding?"

"No, I never joke about my accomplishments, Amy," Sheldon said.

"God, how much I want to explore that brain of you, is amazing and so complex, I want to unravel it so bad," Amy said. "When we get home, I am running tests."

"Thank you, Amy Farrah Fowler! That's the most romantic thing you ever told me," Sheldon said.

Amy smiled and then went where he was standing.

"Here, your room. Please make yourself at home," Sheldon said.

When Amy entered the room she was surprised, it was huge. The whole house is a Tardis. It was rustic. The bed was custom made it was sturdy and cozy; there was a big cedar wardrobe and a couple of family pictures on the bed table; a mountain of pillows and blankets on a chair, the bathroom had a black fancy tub and a lot of towels were hanging on the bath hanger; the ceiling was white and the walls were this soft purple color, and had a big window where you can see the shore.

"Sheldon you didn't tell your house had a view of the ocean!" Amy said as she was looking through the window.

"We are in Galveston I supposed you would guess it. Although you told me you like the ocean, and the sand and stuff. Are you mad?" Sheldon asked.

"Of course not. I didn't see it before because of the dark windows of the limo I guess. Maybe we can go and have a walk sometime?" Amy asked.

"It depends, if we have time we can do it. Now, please do whatever you need to do, we are leaving to Houston in an hour," Sheldon said.

"Ok, where is your bedroom?"

"Across the hall. Less chit chat and more action, woman." Sheldon said as he left closing the door behind him.

Grinning, Amy opened her suitcase and, took out a blue skirt, a green teen top and a purple cardigan. After her shower, she wanted to have a soak in the tub but she didn't have time. Sheldon chose his blue batman t-shirt, a gray undershirt and black pants. Once he was ready, he went to the kitchen and poured them some orange juice into "Jesus Saves!" glasses and made some phone calls while he waited.

"I'm ready" Amy said.

"Good, we'll make good time. Do you want some orange juice?" Sheldon asked.

"Please"

"I called my mother, it seems like George is in recovery, the doctors said he might be at home by the end of the week, and the best part is: he doesn't need my blood!" Sheldon gave the air a fist pump. He loved his brother but he loved his blood more.

"Those are excellent news, baby!" said Amy.

"Excuse me?" Sheldon asked making a big emphasis in the first word.

"Oh! I'm so sorry I just said it without thinking! Really!" said Amy, quickly. Wow. That was a Leonard level mistake!

"Don't worry. It's fine, but it felt weird," Sheldon said.

"Weird good or weird bad?" Amy asked.

"Weird good. Anyway don't do it again."

"Check! Should we go now?" Amy asked, both pleased and curious about his response to her horrifying error.

"Yes, here are the keys," Sheldon said.

Amy took them and followed Sheldon to the garage; there was a 2012 white Cadillac. She pressed the unlock button and the car blinked its lights, it was the car.

"Sheldon this car is very fancy. I would feel responsible if anything happens to it," Amy said a little worried, "Also, it is a tank."

"Don't worry, the insurance is comprehensive. Also you are almost as good a driver as I am a co-pilot," Sheldon said, "Also, this is Texas, the other drivers would run your VW clean diesel off the road on principle."

"Okay then."

Amy and Sheldon got on the freeway to Houston it was 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon and the traffic was already terrible. The GPS couldn't help them with avoid the traffic and Sheldon became impatient. Amy played some of his road games with Sheldon to get him to settle down and asked him about the interesting places in Galveston that they could go sometime.


After an hour and a half they arrived at the Saint Joseph hospital in Houston. When they entered the hospital Missy was there talking to a nurse and drinking coffee.

"Excuse me, Missy would you please tell me where is George's room?" Sheldon asked.

"Oh look! Is the Pasadena's favorite power couple! C'mon and give me a hug Amy!" Missy said.

She stepped forward an embrace Amy in a strong hug. Amy responded to the hug and smiled for her boyfriend's happy sister. Missy was very tall just a hair taller than Sheldon, thanks to heels and some serious Texas hair. She was tan and wearing a form fitting green mini-dress, her smile was confident and brilliant. She reminded Amy of Penny.

"Nice to meet you Missy. I'm…" Amy was interrupted.

"Amy Farrah Fowler, Doctor in neurobiology and little Shelly's girl, everyone in Galveston knows you, sweetheart!" Missy said.

"Oh. That's awkward for me."

"I'm sorry Amy. My mother can´t keep her mouth shut and told everyone about us. It is liked dealing with Penny, except I can't scold my mother." Sheldon said, frowning.

"Don't worry. It is sweet, I guess. That everyone knows we are together. And are watching us." Amy said. Galveston was unsettling, interesting, but there was a weird factor too. She could be dreaming this.

Amy smiled and Missy hugged her brother. Missy walked with them to the elevator and they rode up to the fifth floor.

"Well, the room is 5011, I'll wait here." Missy said.

Sheldon and Amy walked all along the hallway until they found the room. Sheldon paused outside the door. He didn't know how his brother would look. A blob of bloody booboos? A mummy in a hospital gown?

"Are you shaking?" Amy asked.

"No, I'm cold. Amy, hold my hand, we are in a hospital and I don't feel well," Sheldon said.

Amy grabbed his hand and opened the door.

"Look! Is my baby and his girlfriend, please come on in!" Mary said.

"I'm glad to see you again Mrs. Cooper. I know you don't like me but Sheldon needed me and…"

"Of course I like you, silly darlin'. You are the one who can control my baby," Mary smiled then winked "except his Mama."

"Why do you people keep saying that Amy "can controls" me? Is not like that! I am a man, not a Muppet!" Sheldon said.

"Wow, wow, wow. Pipe down, Shelly. My head kinda hurts, you know?" George moaned from the bed.

Sheldon turned around to look at his brother lying in the bed, he didn't look that hurt but he had little bruises and cuts on his face, his lips had tiny scars where they had been stitched. He had a bandage around his head and some others in his arms. His legs were cover by a blue blanket and the IV was dripping into his veins.

Amy was speechless when she saw him. The resemblance between the brothers was remarkable. George seemed like he might be taller than Sheldon and he was broader in the face and shoulders. But they had the same blue eyes, and the hair. Also, George looked dumber, but that could be the drugs.

Mary stood and hugged both Sheldon and Amy. Amy was in shock, she thought that her almost mother-in-law disapproved of her! She had been nervous for going to visit her boyfriend's family uninvited. She thought that everyone there would hate her. But no. It was the opposite. Everyone knew her and… liked her. A lot. They also thought she could control Sheldon. Interesting.

"Are you going to introduce us, Smelly bean?" George said.

"Of course, George she is Doctor…"

Yes, people in the South liked to interrupt people talking.

"…Amy Farrah Fowler, aka your girl! Nice to meet, you. Sorry for the blood and stuff I don't look this banged up always I swear," George said.

"Nice to meet you, George. And If I may say, Sheldon, people knowing about me is starting to scare me," Amy said.

"Don't worry, they are harmless. He is the one that I'm afraid of and I think he likes you. " Sheldon said.

"Well, of course I like her! She is the first girl that I know you ever date! On purpose!" George said.

"I didn't come here to discuss my private life, Junior. Now, how is your health after your reckless behavior? Why did you crashed on a wall? You should know better than to drive and talk on your phone! You scared me! When Mom called this early morning I thought you were dead! Or worse that I would have to give blood! I had to rearranged a schedule that is perfected to the last second. Look at me! I am in a hospital because of you! In this pool of germs. What do you sir have to say?" Sheldon asked, slightly rabid.

"That I love you, too, Bubba. Now, Amy where did you meet him!? And the big, big question: WHY do you like him?" George said.

"That's not an answer! And I didn't even say that I love you," Sheldon said.

"Oh boys, please quiet. Georgie don't interrogate her, plus, you shouldn't talk so much! Now, shut up or I will make you eat your veggies!" Mary said.

. "Ha ha! *Snap* mom! He hit me with the pillow!" Sheldon said.

"Oh, look! Little Shelly needs his momma to defend him," George said.

"Do not shame me in front of people. This is a public place. Now the both of you: apologize to Amy. The last thing we want her is for to know how y'all act." Mary said to her children.

"Sorry, Amy." Sheldon and George said in pouty unison with identical and insincere puppy dog eyes.

Amy grinned, seeing Sheldon fighting with his brother and being scolded for his behavior. This was alone was worth the trip.
