A/N: Thank you thank you thank you. I am so overwhelmed by the reviews you guys have left me. Now this is the last chapter of this particular story but I plan on a follow up, hopefully by the end of the week. I think it needs to end here. But again thank you to all who have stuck with me over the few weeks it took me to write this way of closure for Sheldon and Amy.
I wish I owned these awesome characters.
"Thank you. Now I need some advice." He said putting the ring back in the drawer. "How do I ask Amy to marry me?"
He had his back turned from the door so he didn't see her come in from Penny's. The guys saw her but it was too late, she had heard him ask. The girls' mouths hit the floor.
"You could just ask." Amy said.
"Amy, when did you get here?" Sheldon said, closing the drawer of his desk quickly.
"Long enough to hear what you just asked the guys." Amy said.
"What do you think you heard?" Sheldon asked her.
"We all heard it Sheldon." Penny chimed in.
"Stay out of it" Bernadette whispered to her.
"Oh right, sorry." Penny said.
"So what do you think you heard?" Sheldon asked again.
"Oh I don't know, something about how to go about asking me to marry you." Amy answered.
"Oh well then, I guess you heard correctly." He said.
"Why don't we give these guys some privacy?" Leonard said to the rest of the group.
"Good idea. Let's go to my apartment." Penny said.
"Thank you." Amy said.
The rest of the group left to go to Penny's and Amy turned on Sheldon.
"So when did you decide you wanted to propose? Did you buy this after you knew I was mad?" Amy was a bit angry. She knew Sheldon was capable of buying her jewelry just to make her happy.
"Did we or did we not discuss marriage just last night? I told you when I thought about you making French toast that we were married. Do you want to hear my entire perfect day to you?"
"Yes."
"I wake up with my beautiful wife. That would be you. You are wrapped in my arms then we get up and you would make me French toast with butter and syrup. While we are eating, the wormhole would open. You can't join me because of our children, so you sent me into it so I can use my towering intellect to save the last remnants of mankind from a predatory alien race. I then return to my time and make love to my beautiful wife."
"Awww." The couple heard from outside the door.
Sheldon walked to the door and opened it. Penny fell through the door smiling.
"Hello." Penny said.
"Hello. I thought you guys were going to your apartment?" Sheldon said to them.
"Oh come on you didn't think we weren't going to listen at the door." Penny explained.
"Actually, usually when someone says let's give them privacy, that's what they do." Sheldon said to her.
"Come on, he's right. Let's leave them alone." Leonard said pulling Penny into her apartment.
"Okay fine. But Sheldon, I never knew you were so romantic." Penny said.
"Hey back off, he's all mine." Amy said.
Penny laughed at Amy as she walked away. "Don't worry I've got my own romance ninja." She said.
After Sheldon closed the door, he went back over and sat down next to Amy. He continued where he had left off.
"So that is my perfect day."
"Well it definitely sounds perfect to me."
"So Amy, I have been thinking about marrying you for a while now. Actually long before we made that Mars application. It probably started right after you made those Christmas cookies. Meemaw would never just give her recipe out to anyone. She knew how I felt about you. I talk about you all the time with her. So when you called she had absolutely no problem giving you her recipe. I talked to her after Christmas to thank her as well. That was when she offered to give me the ring. I told her I would think about it. When we made the application, I was almost positive it was what I wanted to do. Then when we spent the night together in the fort, I was absolutely positive I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I called Meemaw the next day and asked her if she was still willing to give me her ring. Mom brought it with her when she came to visit."
"So you didn't just go out and buy me this ring to make me happy?" Amy questioned him.
"Of course not, I know that would never work. I've made that mistake in the past."
"Well I wouldn't call my tiara a mistake." She said to him.
"I wasn't speaking of that. I was thinking about the Star Trek DVDs."
"Oh yeah that was a pretty stupid gift."
"I wouldn't call them stupid." He said. Amy gave him a look. "Okay they were stupid." He conceited.
"So this ring…." Amy said to him.
"I don't know. We just got back together. Don't you think it might be too soon to get engaged?" Sheldon asked her.
"Sheldon!" Amy yelled. "We never broke up. I asked for a break that lasted all of 4 hours."
"I was kidding Amy. This really wasn't the way I wanted this to happen." He said as he walked over to the desk to get the ring out.
"So how did you have this planned?" Amy was curious.
"I didn't. In the interest of full disclosure, I lied a little bit to you last night."
"Oh?" She asked.
"Yeah I wasn't only thinking about asking you to stay the night the other night. I had this on my mind as well." He said producing the ring.
"Oh yeah?" Amy said.
"Yeah. So let's see how can I do this?" Sheldon said, joking with her.
"Sheldon!" She was getting a little annoyed.
"Well I think we should let our friends in on this, don't you?" He asked.
"Since they are probably standing outside the door again, you may be correct." Amy said.
Sheldon walked over to the door and opened it. Sure enough the group was standing outside listening in on the conversation.
"Get in here already." Sheldon said.
The gang walked in and sat down in their normal spots.
"So is everything alright with you guys now?" Penny asked curiously.
"You heard, you should know. But it isn't perfect yet." Sheldon said.
"Why?" Raj asked.
"Well because, much like Howard did a few years ago, I can't think of a better way to ask Amy a very important question." Sheldon answered
"Oh yeah and what would that question be?" Amy said, already knowing but playing along for dramatic effect. Even though everyone else in the room also knew what the question was.
Sheldon opened the ring box and got down on one knee in front of Amy.
"Amy Farrah Fowler, will you….?" Sheldon started but Amy cut him off.
"Yes." She said.
"Amy, you know how I am about closure. Please let me finish before you answer."
"Fine, ask away." Amy said.
"Amy Farrah Fowler, will you marry me?" Sheldon asked.
"Yes." Amy said and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
"That was the most romantic thing I have ever heard." Raj said crying.
"Oh you big softy." Penny said also crying.
The gang gathered around Sheldon and Amy and pulled them in to one big group hug. It had been a trying few days but in the end things worked out exactly the way they were supposed to happen.
THE END
I hope I wasn't too sappy in the end. They are now engaged and my follow up will be wedding planning and a bit more sexy time. I mean now that they are engaged, it's a whole new world in the way of intimacy.
Thanks for reading!
