This this the return to smut and fluff my angsty spell is over. Thank you to Shamy4eva for fixing this for me, and for adding some great thoughts, I really appreciate all you do.
Yes, I have booked us flights to Texas this weekend it is time for you to meet your new family." Sheldon says smiling at Amy.
"Sheldon! This weekend. This is a pretty big trip to make on the spur of the moment. Don't you think you should have discussed this with me first, that I might have wanted a little more time to prepare than this?" Amy was exasperated. She loved him dearly but he could be downright exhausting sometimes.
"Sheldon I think you should leave I need some time to think this through."
"Isn't this what you wanted? For us to tell my mother and my family of our impending nuptials?"
"Yes, but this weekend? What if I had other plans this weekend?"
"Do you have other plans this weekend?"
"No, but…"
"Then what is the problem?" he asked confused.
"The problem is that you cannot just come into my office, order me about, make unilateral decisions without consulting me, and not expect me to be annoyed. We are a team now and things like flying to Texas to visit your family should be discussed together." Amy says calmly.
"Amy what I said about owning you was said in the heat of the moment, I do not look upon you as my property, but I do think of you as mine, just as I know that I am yours. I will do whatever you want me to. Do you want me to cancel? I can reschedule the flights perhaps for another time. Just please, don't kick me out like this." his voice is soft and apologetic and Amy feels her will bending but she knows that she has to be strong. She needs to make him understand that she is not going to just bend to his every wish and whim.
"Look Sheldon, I am not mad at you, I just need time to think this through and sort all this out. Catch a ride home with Leonard and I will call you tonight okay."
Sheldon nods, relieved that Amy no longer seems to be angry at him, but still uncertain about whether she will come to Texas. Amy sighs and resumes her work. If she is going to be taking a long weekend again then she will need to get ahead of her work.

When Amy's phone rings she expects it to be Sheldon, it is almost seven o clock and he has not yet tried to call her. Picking it up she sees that it is Sheldon's mother. She answers it wondering if Sheldon is aware of how frequently they communicate with one another. Mary has said that she calls Amy for the real story and Sheldon for the highlight reel and Amy has to admit that this is true. You never know what you are going to get out of Sheldon. He could talk for an hour about dark matter and never once mention anything remotely personal.
"Hello." Amy answers.
"Hey, sweetie so I hear you might be paying us a visit here real soon." Mary jumps in without any preamble.
"Yes, this weekend, so Sheldon told you."
"Well not in so many words, you know how he is honey, but he told me in his own special way."
"What did say?"
"He said that he might be seeing me soon with some important news so long as your moods stop swinging. Now honey that is a quote from an upset Shelly don't you read too much into it."
"Well, my moods are in check now and you can expect us this weekend." Amy shakes her head, irritated with his characterization of her.
"That's wonderful news! Everyone here will be so excited to finally meet you. Now honey this is why I am a calling you. People around here are awful curious about Sheldon having a lady friend. So that being said I was thinking it would be fun to have a little party to introduce you to the folks. Parade you around in front of a few of the church members, hush a few tongues."
"Mary, I don't know, I mean you know how Sheldon feels about parties." Amy feels that the trip is going to be stressful enough without worrying about Sheldon flipping out at a party. Then Amy hears a slight disturbance on the line and Sheldon's Memaw picks up the phone.
"Amy! You there honey!" she calls loudly into the phone.
"Yes, I'm here Memaw." Amy smiles to herself when she hears Memaw's voice.
"What's all this guff about you not wanting to come visit me?"
"There is no guff, I am really excited to finally meet you in person after talking to you on the phone so much."
"Me too, baby, me too. Now honey, we are going to have a little party for ya'll. Everyone here in these parts wants to meet this girl we have been flapping our gums about for the past five years, yet we have not seen hide nor hair of. Now I know Shelly can be stubborn as a mule when it comes to stuff like this but you are just going to have to convince him. You would not want to disappoint an old woman now would you" Amy knows what this astute old lady is up to and smiles again. If Memaw wants a party then a party will be held.
"A party sounds wonderful and I can't wait to finally meet you." Amy concedes.
"Well honey, I am more excited than a snail hitching a ride on a tortoise." Memaw tells her and they say their goodbyes and hang up. Amy sighs as she texts Sheldon.
Have you cancelled the flight yet?
His response is so quick it is almost as if he already had it ready to send. No, should I of?
Good, it looks like we are going to Texas this weekend.
Excellent, we leave Thursday night and then return on Sunday afternoon.
Your Mother wants to have a party for us, so start mentally preparing yourself now.
You talked to my mother?
I just got off the phone with her and Memaw.
It takes a while for him to respond but then she hears her Skype ringing on her IPad. Amy smiles knowing that it is him. Worried now are we, she thinks as she picks up the call.
"Hello Sheldon."
"Amy."
"So, what's up?"
"I was just wondering, why my mother called you."
"Oh, she was just wondering if my moods would be in check for our trip this weekend."
Sheldon's eyes widen, uncertain what Amy is going to say about this, but sighs with relief when she laughs and he realises that she is not angry.
"Well, I am glad my mother convinced you to go."
"I was going to go before she called. I just wanted to make you sweat it out a little and to make you understand the implications of acting impulsively."
"That's not very nice, you know how I feel about unresolved issues and I am never impulsive."
"No you would never act impulsively or rashly. You would never buy someone an expensive tiara so they would stop being mad at you, take a bus to a girls house in the middle of the night because you had a fight or buy tickets to Texas because your fiancée wanted you to tell your mother you were engaged. " Amy teases him and he smiles.
"But sometimes you do need to learn a little patience."
"Oh I can be a very patient man if necessary." Sheldon's voice deepens bordering on the seductive.
"Oh yes, I forgot, I think Leonard still has nightmares over that red jumper." Amy cannot help but shudder at the memory.
"So just to be clear, you are not mad at me anymore are you?"
"No, I'm not mad. I told you that at the lab. I just needed time to think about it, and make some arrangements at work. Now I am excited about going to Texas, I have never been there before. It will be nice to finally meet Memaw after talking to her on the phone so much. "
"I warn you my family can be, well, shall we say over zealous?"
"I am sure I can handle them."
"It is not you I am worried about." He sighs.
"I love you, Sheldon, and don't worry everything will be fine"
"I love you, too." He replies before they disconnect. Amy then goes to her bedroom to look over her closet. Picking up the phone she calls Penny for advice, she has no idea how you pack to meet your future in-laws.

For Sheldon, the rest of the week rushes by in a blur. Not only is work keeping him busy, but he is nervous and excited about his upcoming trip. He is fairly certain his mother knows what his news is. Also, knowing his family and their penchant for celebrating every single milestone in a person's life, he knows this party is likely to be an engagement party for them. He is not worried about his family approving of Amy, in his mind to meet her is to love her, and he knows that both his mother and Memaw have already succumbed to her spell. It is Amy's reaction to his other family members that concerns him. His clan is notoriously coarse and uneducated, and he is concerned that their behaviour may cause Amy embarrassment, or worse, make her uncomfortable.
It has been decided that Amy will stay at his apartment on Wednesday night so that Leonard can drive them both to work in the morning and then to the airport at four. The rest of the group join them for dinner as usual.
"So Amy, are you excited about going to Texas." Howard asks her.
"Yes, very much so, it will be nice to meet all of Sheldon's family especially Memaw. I have talked to her so much that I am looking forward to finally meeting her in person. Did you get to meet her when you went with Sheldon to Texas?" Amy asks him hoping for some more insight on the woman so important to his life.
"No, he didn't. Memaw was at a church revival when we visited last." Sheldon answers for him.
"What's that?" Raj asks curiously.
"Well in my experience it is where you are stuck in a hot smelly tent for three days with other members of the church listening to sermons until the sin is sweated out of you." Sheldon tells him.
"Do you think they have any idea you guys are engaged or is it going to come as a surprise?" Penny asks.
"Oh I think my mother has her suspicions, but I do believe it will come as a shock to some of the other family members." Sheldon says.
"You mean the ones who always assumed you were a robot?" Leonard asks him smugly.
"Yes." Sheldon says simply.
By nine o'clock, everyone has gone home, and as Leonard has told them he would be staying the night with Penny, Sheldon and Amy get ready for bed. As the next day is going to be busy, they know they are going to need their rest so have decided to get an early night.
After her shower Amy is sitting on the bed in just a towel completing her evening rituals. Sheldon watches spell bound, loving the way her dark hair tumbles down her pale shoulders as she brushes it. Realizing that Sheldon is looking at her, Amy smiles at him as she starts to rub lotion between her palms in preparation for rubbing it onto her legs. The lotion has a fresh clean scent and Sheldon finds the sight of her sitting on the edge of the bed about to run her hands down her legs powerfully erotic. How long has it been he thinks, he feels like a man starving as he watches her. Then as she lifts her leg to apply the lotion he can take no more.
"Do you need my help" Not waiting for her answer he crawls behind her, takes the bottle from her and squirts some lotion onto his hands. He rubs the lotion onto her shoulders massaging them in round circular motions. Then kneading her skin gently, he moves his hands down lower to include her shoulder blades.
"Oooo, that feels so good." She purrs contentedly. When she feels him stop she turns around to look at him. He smiles at her and removes the towel that is wrapped around her.
"Lay down on your stomach." He says. Complying, she rests her head on her crossed arms. Then she feels him climb on top of her stilling wearing his pajamas.
He straddles her bottom and his hands go to work manipulating the flesh of her back. As his strong hands continue the massage, she feels all the stress from the week melting away.
"Your hands are like magic." She moans
"Magic, hardly there is no such thing as magic. I am familiar the pressure points in the human body and I am just applying pressure to them in the correct way causing your body to release endorphins."
"Well you can massage me anytime you want." Amy tells him.
"Did you know that the word massage comes from the French word meaning friction of kneading? Or from the Latin word massa meaning mass or dough." Sheldon tells her.
"I did know that. Did you know Hippocrates once wrote "The physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing" you are certainly a Doctor who is skilled in rubbing."
"I am not that kind of Doctor." He growls. Between his steady manipulation of her bare flesh and their intellectual sparring he is turned on almost past the point of no return and as Amy feels him pressed hard against her bottom she pushes back against him making him groan.
"Watch it little lady, I may not be able to control myself."
"Oh I am counting on it." Amy says lifting her head up to wink at him earning her a slap on the bottom making her cry out as the sound of his hand on bare flesh echoes across the room.
"You are being a very naughty girl." He says easing up off her legs. He flips her around to face him and as he kneels between her legs his eyes take in her beauty.
"I think you are mistaken, I am a very good girl." Amy teases. Moving her legs, she rises up to her knees to face him. Pulling him towards her, she buries her face into his neck and kisses her way up his jawline.
"You're a maddening woman and you know it." he tells her. His voice is gruff as his one hand finds and begins to gently tug at her nipple, the other grabs her bottom and pulls her tight against him making her pant against his mouth.
"A maddening, but intoxicating woman." he murmurs against her mouth as he presses against her.
Struggling with his pajama pants, Amy yanks them down and takes him into her hand. Stroking him up and down he pumps against her hand and the feel of his pulsing flesh in her palm makes her feel provocative. Sheldon pulls away from her to yank off his shirt and kick off his pants, before he pulls her back to him.
"Sounds like case of the pot calling the kettle black to me." Amy says rubbing her body against his, cherishing the way her skin feels against his.
"I love it when you do that, I never thought the feeling of another person's body against my own could feel so intensely pleasurable" The way his words mirror her own thoughts increase her mounting excitement.
"Sheldon, please take me now." She whispers in his ear and he lays her down and moves back between her legs. Hitching them around his waist he slowly enters her.
"How do you want me?" he asks moving inside her. "Do you want it slow like this?" he demonstrates a slow tortuous pace for a while.
"Or do you want me to prove to you how unbreakable your body is?" he asks raising his eyebrow and sending heat flooding through her body.
"After that massage the choice is yours, do with me what you will." She thinks that it doesn't matter what he does as long as he does not stop anytime soon.
"Well, seeing as how this might be our last opportunity for a while…" Sheldon begins and Amy interrupts.
"Why the last time for a while?" Amy asks.
"My mother would never allow us to share a room. Also if I know her she will pack our few days there with so many activities and meetings that there will not be time to do this even if we were able to."
"Well we had better make this one count then." Amy tells him biting her lip.
"My thoughts exactly." He says raising her so that she is sitting up in his lap. The feeling is incredible as he continues to move inside her.
Amy wraps her hands around his neck matching him thrust for thrust. Then without breaking the connection between them, he rolls over so that he is on his back and she is on top of him. He grabs onto her hips and moves her up and down against him. Amy arches her back backwards grabbing onto his legs as he continues to drive into her. Just when Amy thinks she is at her breaking point he sits up and gently pushes her backwards. She is again laying on the bed, but now her head is hanging over the end. He leans over her body cradling her shoulders so that she does not fall off as he still powers into her. As the blood rushes to her head, Amy feels his hand move down to rub her sensitive nub and she comes completely undone. She screams out his name as he releases himself into her. Before exhaustion completely overtakes him, Sheldon helps pull to her up fully onto the bed and they collapse together in a heap panting and spent.
"Last time for almost four whole days, do you think you are going to make it?" Amy asks snuggling against his chest.
"The better question is, are you going to make it? Like I told you I can be a very patient man." Sheldon tells her.
"Oh I think I can match you in my quotient for patience, after all I have waited 5 years for this." Amy smiles as she runs her hands through his chest hair.
"Amy?"
"Hmm?" Amy asks sleepily.
"I have some misgivings about you meeting all of my family." Sheldon sighs.
"Are you worried that they won't like me?" Amy asks him.
"No not at all. There is nothing about you not to love. However that being said, there is plenty about my family you could find fault with. I just worry that once you meet the whole Cooper clan you will be hesitant about joining it for good."
"Sheldon, I love you and there is nothing that your family could do that would ever change my mind about that." Amy tells him.
"Yeah, just keep an open mind when you meet them tomorrow."
On to Texas in the next chapter, time to met Mary and Memaw. Thank you for all the reviews!
