A/N: I had planned on making this two chapters but each individual one was too short so I combined into one longer chapter. Amy didn't play much part in the original episode titled The Gorilla Dissolution but I thought she would definitely have gone to see the Spiderman movie together. I have Raj go with them to add to the story. Enjoy it.
This is M rated. I am warning you ahead of time. Please be kind I've never written this stuff before.
I own nothing...
Chapter 20: Good Advice and an Engagement
About a week after Star Wars Day, Sheldon and Amy found themselves going to the movies with Raj. He had begged for someone to go see the new Spiderman with him.
"Why don't you take your new girlfriend?" Howard asked him. "Or did you already blow it?"
"No I didn't blow it, she just wasn't interested in seeing it. I figured you guys would want to go."
"Well I can't." Howard said. "Ever since my mother broke her leg, I've been taking care of her. We can't seem to find a nurse that wants to stay more than a day."
"Sheldon, would you want to go?"
"I do want to go, but Amy has agreed to go with me on Thursday night."
"Maybe I can tag along?"
"I will ask her. Last time I brought you on date night, she almost broke up with me. I don't want that happening this time."
Amy had agreed as she really didn't want to see it and felt that at least then Sheldon could have a decent conversation about the movie afterwards. So Thursday night, the three of them went to the movie theater. Amy ducked out quickly to use the restroom. They had just finished buying their snacks when Raj spotted Emily near a different theater.
"Emily! Hey!"
"Oh hey Raj." She looked surprised to see him.
"Uh, this is my friend Sheldon." At that point Amy had rejoined the two. "And you remember Sheldon's girlfriend, Amy, I think." He said.
"Sheldon this is Emily."
"Oh yes you're the dermatologist. I went for a walk without sunscreen yesterday." Sheldon leaned in close to her. "Do you see anything on my forehead?"
"Sheldon!" Amy said, embarrassed he had done that.
"Um, you know what? I better go. My movie is about to start."
"Are you here alone?" Raj asked her.
"No not really."
"What do you mean not really?"
A man carrying popcorn walked up behind the three. He had a bunch of tattoos. "Hey should we get our seats?" He asked Emily. Raj was shocked. Sheldon and Amy exchanged worried glances.
"It was nice seeing you." She said to Raj. "I'll call you later."
"Yeah okay."
Raj excused himself to go to the bathroom.
"That was awkward, right?" Sheldon asked Amy.
"Of course it was Sheldon." Amy said to him.
"Was it because she is dating Raj and she was here with that other guy?"
"Yes."
"Oh good. I thought maybe she saw something on my forehead."
"Sheldon! It is obvious Raj likes Emily and he is upset because she is seeing another guy."
"But wasn't he going to date two women at once when he first started seeing her?"
"Yes but that doesn't make it a comfortable situation. Even if they aren't exclusive to each other, he doesn't want to see her with another guy. You wouldn't want to see me with someone else would you?"
"But you can't. We have an ironclad relationship agreement that excludes you from physical contact with anyone other than me."
"You and that damn agreement! Think about it though, would you want to see me with anyone other than you? And don't use the relationship agreement as your excuse. Tell me the truth, what would you do if you caught me out with another man?"
"I wouldn't like it. The thought of you with another man repulses me."
"Sheldon, that's so sweet." She looked up and kissed him.
"Amy, we are in public!" It didn't stop him from kissing her back though. Just then Raj walked up to them and cleared his throat.
"Sorry Rajesh." Amy said.
"Do you mind if we leave? I don't much feel like seeing the movie now."
"It's okay, we can leave." Amy answered.
The three left the theater and drove back to Sheldon's apartment. Amy was planning on spending the night so when they got back they assumed Raj would drive himself home, but instead he came upstairs to the apartment.
"Why don't I make some tea?" Sheldon said. "You are upset and social conventions say I have to make you a hot beverage. I don't have any Chai, how's English breakfast?"
"That's fine."
"I am going to excuse myself. I have some work to do. I will take my laptop into your room, while you guys talk." Amy said.
"Okay, goodnight." Raj said to her.
Sheldon walked over to her to give her a kiss. She whispered in his ear. "Get rid of him." He simply nodded.
Sheldon handed Raj his tea and they went and sat on the couch.
"I don't understand it. I'm a nice guy. I have a good job, I'm well educated, come from a good family. Why don't women want to be with me?"
"An interesting question. Well….goodnight." He thought he would try the direct approach of getting him out.
"What? Don't send me home. I can't be alone right now."
"That's your problem. You can't be alone."
"What do you mean?"
"How many women have you had dates with?"
"11"
"How many of those women did you think would become your perfect companion?"
"11. Wait do I count the girl in the Sailor Moon costume that Howard and I had a threesome with at Comic Con?"
"Sure"
"I'll stick with 11, she like Howard better."
"So now do you see the problem?"
"Maybe, I don't know. It's late I should go." He got up and made his way to the door, then he turned around and looked at Sheldon. "I do get what you're saying. Instead of desperately clinging to any woman who will go out with me, I need to work on my fear of being alone."
"I was trying to suggest chemical castration but whatever gets you out the door. Goodnight." He closed the door behind him and put the chain on. It may have been rude but Amy was waiting for him in bed. He knew she had no work to do because they had planned to spend the night together. She wouldn't have brought work. He quickly got ready for bed and headed for his room.
"Chemical castration?" Amy laughed as she came out of his room to see if he was coming back yet.
"You were listening?"
"I was trying to figure out if you were able to get rid of him or not."
"I tried the direct approach first but apparently he needed to talk."
"Well I think you gave him good advice. He needs to feel good about being alone before he can have a girlfriend."
"Well it made him leave and that is what matters to me most. Now I know you have no work to do so what was the big rush to get back here?"
"This" She said to him as she pulled him into a kiss.
"Oh well I guess that is an acceptable reason." And with that he kissed her back with real passion.
They quickly made their way back to Sheldon's room where they fell onto the bed. They continued to kiss and soon found themselves touch and fondling all the right parts. Sheldon removed Amy's nightgown and slowly began kissing her down her neck and then found his way to her nipples. He kissed her right nipple while his hand caressed and squeezed the left.
"Oh Sheldon" Amy moaned as he took in the other with his mouth.
His hand continued its journey down until it found the hot and wet core he sought. Slowly he began to circle her and he inserted one finger inside. She let out a moan which he took as a good sign and inserted another. Soon she was writhing under his touch. She found her release while shouting his name.
"Amy, I need you." He said to her.
"Are you sure?" She asked. "We don't have to if you don't want."
"No I am very sure. Unless you don't."
"Believe me I do."
With that Sheldon removed the rest of his clothes and positioned himself on top of her. "You're sure?" He asked one last time.
"Yes." She answered. She couldn't believe this was really about to happen.
Before anything happened Sheldon remembered something very important.
"Amy as much as I am ready to continue, I believe we forgot a very important thing."
"What is that?" She had no idea what they could forget.
"Protection. While I am completely ready to do this, I am not ready to be a father. I believe Leonard keeps condoms in his room."
"We don't need them. I have been on the pill for years. And as we are both virgins we are completely disease free."
"Okay then. Please tell me if I need to stop." He then repositioned himself and slowly slipped inside Amy. It felt so good. He began to move but quickly stopped when he saw Amy's eyes widen. "Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Yes, it just hurt for a second. It is good now. You can continue."
He then continued to moving in and out and was soon met with Amy's movements under him. They were in perfect sync. Soon he felt her clenching around him again as another orgasm was overtaking her. He released right after Amy. He collapsed on top of her. He then slowly pulled himself out and rolled next to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked her as he gently stroked her hair.
"A little sore but I feel good." She cuddled into his arms. "How do you feel?"
"I am wondering why we waited so long to do that. Now I understand why my friends brag so much about it." He answered.
"Does this mean this isn't a onetime deal."
"Most definitely no. But we won't be tearing each other's clothes off whenever we see each other. Now if you don't mind, I would like to take a shower."
"Okay no problem."
"Perhaps you would like to join me."
"I find that acceptable." She answered him.
Amy was still a bit sore so they decided they would just wash each other. Amy loved the feel of Sheldon's hand as he washed her back.
When they were finished in the shower, they made their way back to his room and changed the sheets. They settled into bed together. Sheldon wrapped his arms around Amy and gave her a long goodnight kiss.
"Goodnight Amy." He said to her.
"Goodnight Sheldon." She answered.
As she drifted off to sleep she knew that she was completely in love with this man.
The next day, the gang got together for dinner. Leonard and Penny were sitting in the arm chair while Amy, Sheldon and Bernadette were on the couch. Howard was sitting next to the couch. They were waiting for Raj to arrive. Amy was in a particularly good mood. When she went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water she was accosted by Penny.
"You sure are in a good mood this evening. If I didn't know any better, I would say you had sex last night."
Amy just looked away. They had agreed to keep the new found intimacy a secret for the time being. They figured the gang would find out eventually but it was still too new to them for sharing.
"Oh my God! You did, didn't you?"
"Shh…" Amy said to her. "We agreed not to say anything to you guys. Sheldon will be angry if he knows you know."
"I can't believe Dr. Whack-a-Doodle has finally grown up and I can't say anything."
"No please." She begged.
"Okay, okay, but we are going to have a girl's night soon and you will give us the details."
"I promise now let's go back over there before Sheldon becomes suspicious."
Amy sat back down on the couch and leaned over to Sheldon. She told him Penny had figured out what they had done. Sheldon informed her that Leonard had also deduced the same thing.
"Well so much for keeping a secret." She commented.
"Leonard won't say anything. I wouldn't be so sure about Penny though."
"She won't say anything to anyone as long as I give her details next girl's night. But I won't go into too many details."
Sheldon was about to reply when Raj walked in. He apologized for being late. At that point Penny and Leonard stood up to make an announcement.
"We're engaged!" Penny exclaimed.
Everybody jumped up and began congratulating them. Penny showed the girls the ring while Leonard accepted hugs and handshakes.
"And I thought me having sex with Emily was going to be the big announcement." Raj said.
Everyone left Penny and Leonard and began hugging and congratulating him.
"Hey" Leonard called to them.
"What the hell?" Penny said.
"You guys get engaged all the time. This never happens." Bernadette answered for the group.
"You're right" Penny said and they went over to congratulate Raj as well.
They all enjoyed dinner together that night. They began talking about if the newly engaged couple had thought about a date for the wedding. They also talked about living arrangements. Since they hadn't thought about it they decided to talk about it later.
Then they all got details about Raj and Emily. He told them about her coming over after he had left Sheldon's and that she explained who the man they had seen her with was.
"One thing led to another and we had sex." He said. "And let me tell you it's not like riding a bike, I fell off a few times."
Sheldon had tuned the conversation out. He didn't care if Raj had sex or not. He knew that he had as well the night before and he was glad they decided not to share if they would get the third degree from their friends. He began to think about what Leonard and Penny had said about living arrangements now they were engaged. He wondered if Leonard would expect Penny to live in their apartment or if they would live together in hers. Or maybe they would move out of the apartment all together. He would have to have a discussion with Leonard about this later. He did know one thing, they wouldn't all be living together. He may have said things like that in the past, but he wasn't naïve enough to believe that would be the case.
It made him examine his own life. He didn't know what he was going to happen with his job. He had asked for a meeting with President Seibert on Monday to ask about a change in study. He had made a decision finally. He wanted to do some work in Inflationary Cosmology.
"Sheldon!" Amy was calling him.
"Huh?" He replied.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh just this and that." He told her.
"Oh well you really looked lost in thought. The girls and I are going to go across the hall while you guys play your video games."
"Okay, are you coming back tonight?"
"I can if you want."
"Well then I will see you later. Don't drink too much, I have plans for you later."
"I promise."
He gave her a kiss goodbye.
"See you later. Don't tell Penny and Bernadette too much. I don't want to be known as a sexual stud."
"But it won't matter if you are known that way, because you are all mine." She winked. She kissed him again and disappeared out the door.
"I will never get used to you guys doing that." Amy heard Howard say as the door closed.
Once she was over at Penny's, she was immediately accosted.
"Okay Amy spill. I want all the juicy details. How long have you and Dr. Whack-a-Doodle been doing the deed?"
"What!?" Bernadette exclaimed. "First Raj and now you guys too? What was in the water at that movie theater last night?"
"Okay I will tell you, but I'm not giving all the details. Last night was our first time."
"How do you feel?" Penny asked her.
"I feel wonderful. Obviously I haven't been able to take this smile off my face all day. You saw right through it."
"So how was it?" Bernadette asked.
"It was perfect. He was really sweet. He wanted to be 100% sure I was ready."
"That is so sweet." Penny said. "I knew he had it in him."
"Okay enough about that. I want to know how Leonard proposed." Amy said.
Penny told them how she and Wil had been fired from the movie. She was starting to see that maybe acting was not in the cards. She told them how she suggested getting married and how Leonard had not taken her seriously at first. He thought she felt he was a good choice like a bran muffin and he wanted to be a strawberry pop tart. She explained that she didn't need fame and money to be happy and all she needed was the stupid pop tart. She then said he agreed.
"It seems anticlimactic." Amy commented.
"It was until he pulled the ring out of his wallet. He got down on one knee and asked."
"Awwww…." The girls said together.
"I know right?"
"So what do you think the living arrangements will be?" Amy asked.
"I don't know, I guess I'll move in with him or he can move in here."
"Well now that you are unemployed again, financially it makes sense."
"True, we will have to talk about it."
The girls continued discussing the wedding until about 10 when Leonard came over to say video game night had ended. Raj, Howard and Bernadette left together and Amy went over to 4A.
Sheldon put on the kettle on for tea. When it was finished he brought a mug over for Amy. He sat down next to her on the couch.
"How was girl's night?"
"It was nice. The girls and I talked about the engagement and upcoming wedding."
"What else did you discuss?"
"I was questioned about what happened last night"
"What did you tell them?"
"I told them it was perfect and didn't go into any real details."
"Oh okay. Did you really think it was perfect?"
"Of course I do. We waited long enough and you were a perfect gentleman."
"Good. So did I. So much so I was wondering if you were up for a repeat performance?" He asked suggestively.
"I think I would find that acceptable, Dr. Cooper."
The two headed back to his bedroom and had an extremely passionate night.
The next morning, Amy was up early. She went out into the kitchen to make breakfast. Sheldon came out about 15 minutes later. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss.
"You weren't in bed when I woke up. I thought you left."
"I thought I would make breakfast. You looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up."
"What did you want to do today?" He asked as she put eggs and toast on a plate.
"We could go to the zoo." She suggested.
"That's a great idea. We can pack a picnic lunch to take with us."
They ate breakfast in relative silence and afterwards got ready to go. When they got there they went to the koalas first and then the monkeys. They found a nice spot on the grass under a tree to have lunch. It was then the topic of Leonard and Penny came up.
"Have you thought about what you will do if Leonard moves out of the apartment?" She asked him
"I haven't really had the time. Leonard hasn't really told me his plans since they did just announce the engagement yesterday. I haven't seen him alone for 2 days." The truth was he had thought about it since the announcement last night. He didn't want to tell her just yet. He was going to ask her to move in with him when he told her he loved her. That was two weeks away. He knew he was ready. He could live with her. She knew him inside and out. He had been thinking of ways to go about doing it and had come up with a great plan. He would need his friend's help. It had taken him three years to work up the courage to kiss her and then become more physical. But it only took 3 months after for him to know he was completely in love with Amy. Enough so that he could tell her. He wanted to take the next step in the relationship. Penny and Leonard getting engaged really made him think about that. He knew he wanted to live with her and he knew he loved her, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for marriage. He had never thought about getting married. But he had changed his mind about so much since he had met Amy. He had a couple more weeks to make that decision so for now he only had to think about it.
A/N: Will he propose? I guess you will all have to come back and see. The next chapter will be the last. I hope you have all enjoyed my story. Your reviews have kept me motivated. Thanks so much for following me.
