The first days after Sheldon's funeral, Amy just went to work and when she finished she went back to her apartment and cried for hours. Bernadette and Penny were also very sad and imagined how painful it must be for Amy, but she shouldn't continue like this. Little by little, the girls managed to get me back to the apartment to have dinner with everyone. While the boys or sometimes Harry accompanied her at lunchtime in Caltech.

Over the weeks Amy smiled again, though the pain of Sheldon's absence was still there and she knew that no matter how long that gap in her heart would pass, it would never go away. As for his friends who missed him more than they could ever imagine.

Six months later, everyone was having dinner at Leonard and Penny's apartment, including Harry, who had been invited to join them a month earlier. At first Leonard didn't agree with the idea because he felt that they were betraying Sheldon's memory but his wife convinced him that Amy's boyfriend or no one else could ever replace Sheldon for what Leonard accepted.

-Well, I want to take advantage of the fact that we are together to give you some news-Penny said leaving her plate on the table in front of her and everyone looked up.

-You're going to leave Leonard, aren't you?

-Howard! - scolded his wife.

-I was planning to do it. But there is something that will prevent me for the next 18 years, "she joked while caressing her belly. The girls stood up and ran to hug Penny with a smile.

"Congratulations," said Harry, smiling too.

-It's wonderful! - Raj hug Leonard- When did you find out?

- A couple of days ago. And I was dying to tell everyone at that time, but Penny asked me to wait until we were reunited. "He kissed his wife's cheek.

"I can not believe one of us is going to be a dad." Howard patted Leonard's shoulder.

"That's right, I'll finally have a beautiful and intelligent baby," he said with a smile that disappeared when he remembered that that was what he had told Sheldon the day he met Penny. Suddenly he felt a tear run down his cheek.

"Are you okay?" Bernadette asked.

-Yes I ... -he wiped the tear with one hand- I was thinking about ... Sheldon was the first to hear me say that phrase the day I met Penny- immediately everyone's look changed- I'm sorry, I didn't want to depress you.

"No, it's okay," Amy said, sighing. "I think we all think continuously about Sheldon and things we'd like to share with him. It's totally normal- she bit her lip to keep from crying too. Harry noticed this and took her hand, she squeezed it gratefully.

"Are you ready, honey?" Harry asked, entering the room to see Amy putting on her lipstick in front of the mirror.

-In a minute.

"We'll be late," he said, looking at his watch. "And I don't think you want to be late for your party.

-It's not my party.

-The university organized this party to celebrate the great work that Howard and you have done these years with his project of controlling robotic limbs with brain waves- he approached her and kissed her on the cheek- So yes, this party is yours.

-How I look?

"You look beautiful." Harry kissed her on the lips. "I can not believe I've been in a relationship with the smartest, most beautiful woman in Caltech and the world for almost three years." Amy blushed.

- Maybe the smart thing is true, but ...

-And how beautiful, too. And whoever says otherwise will see with me.

When they arrived at the hotel where the party was to be held, they found Howard who was helping Bernadette out of her car.

-Bernadette, I thought you had to be resting -said Amy a little worried to see her.

"I couldn't miss such a special day for my husband," he caressed Howard's cheek and then smiled at his friend. "Neither for you. I am very proud of both and what you.

-That's very nice-Amy gently hugged Bernadette and then put her hand on her belly-how is this little girl doing?

-I think she's excited for her father. She's been kicking for a while-she caressed her belly.

"Is not it already she wants to be born?" Harry teased.

- Dear God, no! It's going to ruin my moment.

"Excuse me, are you saying that the birth of our daughter would ruin your party?" Bernadette glared at her husband who hid behind Harry.

-Bernie I was joking.

"What are you doing out here?" Raj asked, coming hand in hand with Dianne, his current girlfriend.

-We were about to enter. Come on, love. "Howard took the hand of his wife who only frowned.

"Where are Leonard and Penny?" Amy looked for her best friend but couldn't see her anywhere.

"Sheldon's nanny got sick and they were looking for someone to leave the child with.

"They should bring it," Raj said with a shrug.

-This is not a place for a 1 year old child.

-Sheldon is almost 2 years old and is smarter than many of those who are here -said Amy thinking of her godson. It still felt strange to say that name and to know that she was talking about a child and not about her ex-boyfriend.

-Excuse me for interrupting you-President Siebert had approached them -Dr. Fowler, Dr. Wolowitz, everyone is eager to talk with you.

"Oh yes, of course." Amy kissed Harry on the cheek.

"Come on." Howard offered Amy his arm and they left together.

An hour later everyone was talking animatedly, when President Siebert started giving his thank-you speech and asked Howard and Amy to take the stage. He praises the project of both and all that they had achieved these years. They both felt really happy as they watched their friends smile and applaud with the others. Suddenly Howard took Amy's hand and she turned to see him.

"I wish he were here, too," he said in a whisper and Amy thanked him with a sad smile.

-Well, to continue enjoying the party-President Siebert left the microphone on a table and both Howard and Amy began to come down from the stage.

-Amy, wait -said Harry going up to the stage and taking the microphone- There's something I need to ask you.

-Harry, what are you...?

-I know that the first year of our relationship was not the most normal, that we faced several tests and nevertheless we are still together. You're smart, beautiful, fun and I love you-he got on his knees and pulled a ring out of his pants pocket while Amy opened her eyes in surprise- Amy Farrah Fowler Would you marry me?

Amy opened her lips without knowing what to say. For a long time she thought that she would never marry and the moment she met Sheldon she realized that he was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. But life is full of surprises and that could not be. And now a man who had been so kind, tender and sympathetic to her from the beginning asked her to marry him ...

-Amy ...

-Yes, Harry. I would love to marry you, "she said with a smile.

Today was the tenth anniversary of Sheldon's death and as every year the group had agreed to go to the pantheon to leave flowers.

"Are you okay?" Harry grabbed Amy's hand as she didn't open the car door. "I know it's still hard for you.

-Yes, I'm fine- she leaned down and kissed his cheek- I'm very lucky to have you, you know?

-Don't begin to kiss again-said a little voice in the back of the car. Both Harry and Amy turned to see their daughter who was covering her eyes with her hands.

- It's okay baby. You can look, "Amy said looking at her daughter with a smile.

-There are my Aunt Penny and my uncle Leonard -said the little girl excited since she had not seen them for weeks- Can I go to greet them?

-Of course honey- the little girl run- Be careful-shout Amy.

-Amy, Harry- Someone call them. They turned to see Raj with his wife.

-I thought you couldn't come -said Amy hugging him- How is everything in Michigan?

-Excellent.

- And the twins?

-My parents will be taking care of them over the weekend,- Dianne answered. -We didn't think it was a good idea to bring them.

Once they were all together they went to Sheldon's grave and left flowers, and the boys had left a new Batman figure that Sheldon would have loved. They were there telling them everything that happened during the year because although none of them really believed in God, they liked to imagine that Sheldon was listening to them.

As usual Amy and Harry were the last to leave. The others had gone ahead to Howard and Bernadette's house.

-We'll wait for you in the car -said Harry taking his daughter's hand.

It had been a few minutes when someone touched the back of Amy who got scared and gave a small jump.

-Ariana, what are you doing here? - she said with her hand in her heart.

- Forget that I had brought this for Uncle Sheldon - the girl was going to put something on the grave but her mother stopped her.

"What is this?" she ask, taking the drawing from his daughter's hand.

"They're ... Uncle Sheldon and you," she said timidly. Amy looked at the drawing and realized it was her dresses up like a pretzel and Sheldon dresses up like a Bavarian.

-Why ... why did you draw us like that?

-My aunt Bernadette was watching a video of you and uncle Sheldon where you were talked about flags two days ago when I went to stay at her house, she said she was not sure if I should see it, but I convinced her-her daughter was little more than 5 years old but she was so smart and almost always got away with it- Did the drawing make you sad? -Ariana asked when she saw that her mother seemed about to cry

-No baby-she kiss the hair of her daughter- It's very cute.

- Do you think he likes it?

-I'm sure he would love it- the little girl left the drawing on the grave and smiled at her mother.

-We must go. Your uncles must be waiting for us.

- Hey mom, do you think we can watch the other episodes of Fun with Flags?

-Do you like Fun with Flags?

-A lot. Uncle Sheldon seemed very smart and funny.

- Yes, he was - Amy said with a smile opening the door of the car to go up and go to dinner with her friends.

It felt weird to kill Sheldon and have Amy marry another man lol. Thank you very much everyone for your comments. There is one more chapter of this story...so I update on Sunday.
