Sheldon and Amy did not have enough space to store all of their possessions together in 4B. Luckily Sheldon had his secret storage locker which he still refused to tell anyone about and Penny and Leonard had offered their second bedroom in 4A as a temporary space to keep all of Sheldon's work.

He and Leonard had decided to turn it into a shared office for their guidance system project. Although they would be working in the lab for the majority of the time, it was also nice to have a place at home to work together after hours. Howard had also moved in some of his equipment as well.

Meanwhile, Amy's possessions had successfully been moved into 4B and Penny had cleared out her colourful, childish charms to allow the couple to redecorate themselves. A few of her more precious trinkets moved over to 4A whilst the majority was donated to Howard and Bernadette to spice up the baby's room. Pretty lampshades and picture frames were stacked in the back of Howard's car ready for the remodel.

There was not a lot of work to do as both Sheldon and Amy did not care for embellishment and were perfectly happy with the current state of the apartment. With all of Penny's possessions gone, the apartment was small, simple, and plain and they decided to keep it that way. The living room was still grey and the bedroom was still blue. Amy's fantasy of seeing Sheldon repaint the walls topless with his toned muscles on display never came to light, much to her disappointment.

However, as soon as Raj heard that they were not thinking of doing a lot of redecorating, he was knocking on their door dressed in overalls and holding up paint swatches.

"Now this one will really brighten up the space but I want to hear your opinions on this one"

"Raj, they're basically the same colour what difference does it make?"

"Wow. I can't work with such amateurs"

Once they had finally dismissed the advances of Raj and his paint, life was running smoothly again. It was as if they had never been apart.

Sheldon and Amy would wake up in each others arms, possibly have a make-out session if they were feeling frisky, and go to work. Sheldon would still ride with Leonard as they could discuss their work together and it provided some 'guy time' as Penny liked to call it.

Amy did not mind. She had plenty of time to see Sheldon.

He enjoyed surprising her with lunch time picnics in her lab, they would still make time for regular date nights, and the domestic chores were much more fun with the both of them.

Cooking together had become a regular event. There were a lot fewer orders of take-out food as they both preferred to enjoy a home-cooked meal that they had made together. Sheldon was surprised that he did not miss their gatherings in 4A as much as he thought he would. Of course their congregations were still regular but soon Thai Food night was replaced by 'stay in, cook food, and make out night' which he was definitely okay with.

That was also something that had increased dramatically since they had moved in together. The intimacy.

Coitus was still off the table as far as they were both aware due to the fact that it had not been mentioned since they had moved back in together. It was not an issue. There was still a lot of habits and mannerisms of each other that needed getting used to.

Plus, for now, they were enjoying the kissing and the closeness.

One of the benefits of having a bed to share was that the couple's make out sessions lasted a lot longer. There had been several occasions now where they had been late to events because they were otherwise occupied…

To celebrate their cohabitation, Amy suggested they throw a house warming party. It had actually been quite a while since they had begun living together and this was not exactly a new house for them anymore but it would be nice to play hosts as a couple. That is if Sheldon agreed. He was not a fan of parties and definitely was not the character to throw them.

"It will be fun" Amy promised.

"Alright"

"Wait, you're actually agreeing to this?" she was shocked.

Sheldon smiled at her, "Of course. I never had a house warming party when I moved to California because I didn't really have any friends to invite. My Mom visited but I would not call her presence a party - she primarily fussed over the lack of furniture. Besides, the birthday party you threw for me was thoroughly enjoyable and I want to help you with this one"

Amy was taken aback and slightly saddened by his story but was keen for his input. They made arrangements to go shopping the next day and sent out e-vites to almost everyone they knew.

Sheldon pushed the cart around the supermarket whilst Amy picked up all the items from their list and placed them inside. She stopped in the last aisle and began perusing the bottles of wine.

"Alcohol? Amy, is this really going to be a party with alcohol?"

"It's okay, you don't have to drink it"

"I assure you I will not"


Amy rearranged the glasses on the kitchen island one last time before she went to check on Sheldon. She found him in their bedroom wrestling with his tie in front of the mirror. Carefully she reached up and adjusted it for him. Sheldon stood back and admired himself in his reflection before grabbing Amy's hand and pulling her into view too. The couple looked at themselves with broad smiles.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Amy squealed in delight and ran off to welcome their first guests. Penny and Leonard walked in holding a bottle of wine which they placed with the counter and Penny immediately opened.

"So where's everyone else? You did invite other people didn't you?" Leonard asked. He was teasing really but was a little worried that no one would turn up. It would not be a very good start to Sheldon and Amy's first party and he did not want them disheartened.

"They'll be here" Amy said bluntly with her nose turned up at Leonard. Her friends only lived across the hall so they were bound to arrive on time. She had also heard that it was 'cool' to arrive late to a party. Hopefully, this would not turn out to be as disastrous as Bert's party a month ago.

Penny was clearly thinking along the same lines, "Yeah, didn't you know? Shamy really are Pasadena's favourite power couple!" her teasing smile twinkled.

Both Sheldon and Amy rolled their eyes at Penny's foolery. Leonard just looked confused.

"What, who said that?" he asked.

"Oh everyone" Sheldon insisted, despite knowing nothing about these apparent rumours. He just assumed that he and Amy were incredibly popular.

Penny smirked at him, "Actually it was Bert, from the Geology department"

This time it was Sheldon and Leonard's turn to roll their eyes. Geology.

"If you don't believe us you can ask him yourself tonight. I invited him" Amy pouted towards Leonard who opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by an outraged Sheldon.

"Bert! You invited that oafish giant to our party?" his eyebrows were crossed in anger and his fists were clenched.

Amy was not phased, "Relax Sheldon. He invited us to his party, I thought I'd return the favour and invite him to ours"

"But Amy he's a Geologist. A Geologist! He admitted he loved you!"

Amy began rearranging the wine glasses to busy herself and act nonchalant, "He said it to Penny too. Plus, you invited Stuart and we've been out twice before. Those two just fall in love with every girl they talk to"

"And yet you continue to talk to them!"

Leonard and Penny stood drinking wine as they watched the uncomfortable scene unfold.

Penny decided to step in, "Sheldon relax sweetie, Amy's strong and knows when to tell anyone to back off. You have nothing to worry about"

Sheldon scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Fine. But I'm more worried that I'll have to talk to him about Geology," he muttered under his breath.
