Hey guys! Long time no see. SO SORRY about the late update, but I wanted to make this perfect. I tried to elaborate more. My writing style is kind of simplistic, so I'm sorry for the short chapters. I'm working on it. Sorry the last chapter was so short. I was debating doing 3 or 4 chapters but I decided on 4, so the last one was a filler. Here's the last chapter! Hope you enjoy it.

Flashback

"Final Call for flight 221B to South Africa."

Amy took one final look at her boyfriend before grabbing her suitcase and boarding the plane.

Goodbye Sheldon

Six Months Later

*knock knock knock* Penny.

*knock knock knock* Penny.

*knock knock knock* Penny.

Sighing, Penny opened the door. She was dressed in Leonard's shirt and her favorite pink robe. Her hair was messy from bed. Doesn't Sheldon know it's nine in the morning?

"Yes Sheldon?"

"Penny do you know what day it is?"

"Saturday. I have the day off. Let me sleep." Penny exclaimed. She rolled her eyes and tried to shut the door.

Sheldon grabbed the side of the door before she could slam it in his face.

"It's August 27th."

"What?"

"August 27th, the day Amy comes home. Penny you said you would drive me to the airport remember?"

Crap

"Sheldon, her flight gets in at 5:00, we have eight more hours."

Penny tried to shut the door in his face again.

"Go back to your apartment Sheldon I'll come get you at 4."

Sheldon grabbed the door again.

"But Penny." Sheldon whined.

He is such a child sometimes.

"What if her flight arrives early, or there is a lot of traffic, or a million Dalek warships crash into the Earth, or-"

"SHELDON! Amy will be fine I will come get you at 3:30, how's that?"

"Fine" Sheldon said with a sheepish grin on his face. He turned around and headed back towards his apartment.

Penny rolled her eyes again and shut the door, a hint of a smile on her face.

These last six months with Sheldon have been hard. Amy's absence has been hard on everyone. Girl's nights weren't the same without her. Group dinner wasn't the same without her. No one sat in her spot on the couch. When Sheldon thought no one was watching, he stared at her spot with a slight frown on his face.

Everyone knew he missed her, but it was an unspoken rule within the gang not to mention it. The first two months or so were hard. Sheldon was quiet, less obnoxious, and less driven in his work and hobbies.

Eventually, he got a little better. He threw himself into his work, and made some pretty big breakthroughs in String Theory. The path to a Noble Peace Prize was a bright one. He went into full fanboy mode. He met Benedict Cumberbatch at comic con, became fluent in circular Galifreyan, and collected new comic books by the dozens. .com passed 5,000 followers. It was almost as if Sheldon was back to his normal self. If you didn't know him as well as the gang you wouldn't have noticed any changes.

Though he wasn't as lonely, he still missed Amy a lot. His screensaver remained open most of the time. Date nights left him in a sad mood for a couple days. He had taken to reading Neuron. When he was alone in his apartment he made his tea with two teabags. He started using apple body wash that smelt like her shampoo.

In the last two months of Amy's absence this loneliness changed to excitement. He had taken to making a calendar counting down the days till Amy came home. He kept it deep in his desk where no one could see it. August 27th was the day when everything would go back to normal, the day when he would get his Amy back.

The feelings he had been pushing away rose to the surface, feelings he had been denying for months before Amy's absence. One day he just snapped.

He stopped pushing them away.

He knew that he was in love with Amy Farrah Fowler.

In the last month of Amy's absence, he was in a very good mood.

Every day he would go to bed with a smile on his face.

Only 30 days left He would say to himself.

Then thirty turned to twenty, then ten, then none.

Tomorrow Sheldon thought the night before and rolled over, smiling like a goof.

He was a hippy, but for once he didn't care.

A smiling Penny skipped over to 4B and knocked on the door.

"Sheldon! Come on let's go get Amy."

Sheldon walked over to the door with a frown on his face.

"Penny do you know what time it is? It's 3:32 Penny, thirty two. What if we're late?"

Penny rolled her eyes.

"Come on Sheldon let's go."

She said a quick hello to her boyfriend, who was staying home to set up a coming home party for Amy.

It was supposed to be a surprise, but Sheldon told her on their weekly phone call.

"See you in three hours honey." Penny said and gave Leonard a quick peck.

Leonard replied with a smile.

Everyone was excited for Amy's return. She was not only their friend, but the only person besides his mother and meemaw who could control Sheldon.

Sheldon strapped himself into the front seat of Penny's new car.

Thank God Leonard got Penny a new car. That death trap she had before was going to be the death of us all I know it.

The ride progressed in silence.

Penny noticed but didn't mind. It was the first time he has been this quiet since those first few months.

When five minutes were left in the car ride Penny spoke up.

"Why so quiet sweetie?"

"I'm fine, Penny. Eyes back on the road. I don't want to die from your subpar driving skills."

With an eye roll, Penny focused on the road ahead of them.

What it she's different? Sheldon thought. What if she doesn't want to date me anymore? What if she goes away again? How will she react to seeing me? What if…?

Sheldon didn't get to finish his thoughts because they arrived at LAX.

They found a parking spot and slowly made their way to the correct terminal.

They sat down and waited.

Sheldon glanced at his watch.

4:50. Five minutes till Amy came home.

He allowed himself to get excited. It's finally happening. She's finally coming home. He smiled.

Penny looked over at her friend. Aww look how cute he looks! All excited to be reunited with his women. Shamy feels!

"Flight SA1963 has now landed. Passengers set to arrive in two minutes."

Penny and Sheldon looked up at the loud speaker with smiles on their faces.

In no time, a crowd of people appeared through the terminal. Sheldon and Penny craned their necks to look for Amy.

Sheldon being taller spotted her first.

His heart lurched.

She's perfect

Her hair turned a dirty blonde from the sun. It was longer, and pulled into a pony tail on the top of her head. She was a lot tanner. Wicked tan indeed. She gained some muscle tone from working those hard hours, which she showed off in shorts and a tank top. She was scanning the crowd until she found him.

He looked the same, but that was Sheldon for you. He doesn't change she thought with a smile. He was still her sexy praying mantis. He was wearing his favorite flash shirt and was dragging around a very disgruntled looking Penny. She laughed to herself. Her Sheldon's here at last.

Finally, blue eyes met green for eye coitus. For the first time in six months, it was not behind a camera.

There she is.

There he is.

Amy made her way toward them and walked right up to Sheldon.

Never breaking eye contact, she shook his hand.

"Doctor Cooper." She said in a professional voice.

"Doctor Fowler." Sheldon replied.

They broke into huge smiles, laughing, they pulled each other into a huge embrace.

She put her head on his chest and he put his on top of her head, pulling her closer,

They stayed like that for a while. Penny just looked on with a misty smile.

Sheldon adjusted his head so he was looking down at Amy. Amy looked up to see him staring at her. Her breath caught in her throat.

He winked and put his pointer finger on her chin, pulling Amy's head up for a kiss. The other hand went on her waist. Amy's hands stayed in the embrace. The kiss was incredibly chaste and gentle. He kissed her like she was made of glass. After about a minute, Amy pulled away. Her eyes stayed closed, savoring the moment.

She looked up and saw his breathtaking blue eyes searching hers.

"I've missed you." Sheldon whispered.

"I've missed you too." She said.

Sheldon then proceeded to pull her into a bone crushing hug, like if he let her go she would blow away.

After a while Amy whispered "Sheldon, we have to go get my bags."

"Mmmmhmmm" he replied, but nuzzled deeper into her hair.

They weren't going anywhere for a while.

There you go! I hope you liked the story. High five for the longest chapter I've written. Stay tuned for future stories. The finale looks like a big one for Shamy. ;)If I get inspired by something another story will be coming your way. Till next time.
