Hello hello! I know this is a short chapter but I felt bad for letting you wait for such a long time. I was planning on writing more but I simply don't have time right now. I'm in the middle of my exams and the next time I'll have time to write will probably be in 3 weeks, after my birthday and first exam.

This chapter hasn't been read by my beta reader, she also didn't have time because of her exams. I'm sorry if there are some mistakes!


Everyone wanted something from her. The little girl, as kind as she was, wanted to spend all her free time with Amy and it started to work on her nerves. Sheldon did regular checkups on her body and tests on her mind. She felt like she had no privacy.

She hadn't told Sheldon about her fears or her dreams yet. Her thoughts were the only thing that were private. The only time she felt like she wasn't on edge were the times that Sheldon was working, Nicola was at school and she had the apartment to herself.

However, in the following weeks that changed. Sheldon remained in contact with Penny. The actress wanted to spend more time with her and take her outside for some coffee sometime. Sheldon seemed very keen on the idea that they would get reacquainted, Amy on the other hand wasn't. She didn't want to leave the safety of the apartment. She had grown accustomed to everything there.

She feared what would happen once she would step outside the front door. Only once had she been outside since she had awoken. Sheldon seemed to understand her fears at first and agreed to postpone the appointment, but after another two weeks Sheldon seemed to think she was ready.

For the past weeks she had worn simple skirts, occasionally leggings with one of Sheldon's old t-shirts above it. His red Flash t-shirt was her favorite, it was old but soft and it seemed familiar.

Sheldon had brought some new clothes home for her appointment with Penny. However, on the day itself, she refused to wear them. She wanted to wear the clothes she felt comfortable in. She didn't understand why she suddenly had to change her attire. After some negotiation Sheldon finally agreed to let her wear his flash shirt, with a cardigan above it.

Soon after Sheldon left to bring Nicola to school and to go to work there was a knock on the door. Amy let out a nervous sigh before opening the front door. She knew she should have expected it but the moment the blonde woman pulled her into her arms she once again stiffened.

"Hello Penny," Amy said. She turned her attention to Hal, the assistant. "Hello Hal." Hal gave her a curt nod. After the woman finally released her she laughed. "I'm sorry," she said as she composed herself. "It's still such an amazing thing that you're back!"

Amy nodded for a short moment and grabbed the bag Sheldon had prepared for her, he said it contained everything she needed. "Are you ready to go?" Penny exclaimed happily.

Once again a nervous breath escaped her mouth. She looked behind her in the apartment, wishing that she could simply close to door in front of the two people, but knew that that wasn't acceptable. Amy turned her attention back to Penny and Hal and forced a smile on her face. She took a quick step forward and closed the door behind her.

She released the breath that she had apparently been holding. The world hadn't imploded yet, but who knew what would happen once she would leave the building and actually go outside.
