I feel like my brain made a baby in the last chapter and there is no way to top it. So here in anticlimatic news is their first night as a married couple. Again I own none of this! Also any suggestions for follow-up chapters would be appriecated

"No Sheldon! There is no way that I am going to let you even attempt it!" Amy tells him as they walk up the stairs of the apartment.

"Amy I am stronger than I appear, it was already enough that you had to drive us away from the wedding let me carry you through the threshold."

"Sheldon that is a wedding traditional rarely followed anymore of all the things you chose not to adhere to why are you so insistent on this?" Amy asks as they round the landing and stop in front if their doorway.

"Please." he begs giving her puppy dog eyes.

"Fine! I give up! but if you throw your back out and we have to cancel our honeymoon plans you will have only yourself to blame." Amy tells him as he unlocks the door.

"Thank you." Then Sheldon stares at her sizing her up and grabs her by the shoulders and wraps her arms around his neck. Then he swings her legs up and distributes her weight between both arms. Sheldon staggers a few steps forward then plops her unceremoniously on the couch. "There was that so difficult?" he wheezes slightly out of breath.

"Apparently it was, but you put in a valiant effort." Amy tells him standing up. "I am going to slip into something a little more comfortable." Amy tells him she is still in her wedding dress.

"Fine." Sheldon says removing his jacket and collapsing on the couch he loosens his tie and unbuttons his shirt. He knows Amy will expect coitus tonight but he is pretty tired now. Sheldon closes his eyes and he must drift off for a minute because when he opens he thinks he sees a ghost standing in front of him and yelps.

"Come on Sheldon let's get you to bed." Amy says tenderly tugging him up. His eyes adjust and he realizes the ghost is just Amy an a filmy white nightgown. He follows her down the hall and watching the way her body moves under the nightgown wakes him up a bit. Amy opens the door to the bedroom takes his hand and leads him inside.

"Let's get you out of these clothes and into your pajamas." She says taking off his tie and then unbuttoning the shirt the rest of the way. Sheldon leans down to kiss her as she removes his shirt and she stiffens.

"What's wrong?" he asks her, he hopes he did not make her mad somehow.

"We don't have to tonight, I know you are tired. " Amy tells him kissing his cheek

"Well the sight of you in this nightgown as made me feel quite awake." he tells her rubbing the thin material of the nightgown between his fingers.

"You like it? Bernadette got it for me for our wedding night it is called a peignoir." Amy says twirling a bit to show it to him from all angles.

"I like it you look the part of the virginal bride in it." he tells her but he detects a slight shift in her mood at that statement.

"Sheldon, do you sometimes wish we had waited til our wedding night for coitus." Amy asks him

"Is that what's bothering you?" he asks her

"A little, its just that I used to think that actually marrying you was the least attainable thing in the world. Had I known that you would marry me I might have waited. I mean waited until my thirties I could have waited longer." Amy tells him.

"You know what's odd I entertained the idea of marrying you much earlier than the idea we would have coitus." he tells her guiding her over to the bed. Sheldon takes of his pants and sits down in the bed in his underwear. They lay down on the bed together and Sheldon wraps his arms around her. Amy snuggles her face into his chest inhaling his scent.

"When is the first time you thought about marrying me." she asks him.

"Well let's see do you want to know the first time I thought about it or the first time I seriously considered it?" he asks.

"For data gathering purposes let's go with both." Amy says.

"The first time I ever thought about it was the night of our first date. Penny told me she would tell my mother on me if I tried to make a test tube baby with you. Pointing out the fact that my mother would not like a baby born out of wedlock. Later that night as I lay in bed I thought well maybe I will marry Amy. Then I thought about trains and then I thought about an article I had read and the notion left my head. The first time I really thought I am going to marry that girl was when I started drafting the relationship agreement. I thought if I was going through all this trouble I might as well marry you. I knew then I would never want any other woman but you."

"What stopped you then?" Amy asks.

"I knew to make the marriage legal that we would have to consummate the relationship. The thought of that back then sent me in to panic mode."

"Well I am glad you changed your mind." Amy says lifting her head up to look at him.

Sheldon hitches on of her legs around his waist and pulls her around so that she is straddling him. He does not normally like this position it makes him feel like he's not in control. Sheldon runs his hands along her legs and up to her waist. The sensation of his warm hands sliding over the cool silk of the material is sending her into sensory overload.

"What are you doing?" she asks him

"Just admiring my wife" he says his voice husky. " You know with every other person I find touching repellant. Just having to shake hands with another person makes me cringe. Yet with you I crave to touch and be touched. At first it was a paradox I wanted so badly to have that intimacy but the thought scared me so much I could not do it. " As he talks lets his hands rove freely over her body over her nightgown. Amy steadies herself by planting both of her hands on his chest he is still wearing his undershirt. "When did you change your mind?" he asks her suddenly snapping her out of the spell he was putting her under.

"Change my mind about what? Amy asks.

" About all of this,you started pressuring me about it way before I consented to your wishes. I seem to remember you telling me coitus was off the table when we first met." he shifts upwards so that they are both sitting up facing each other her legs wrapped around his waist.

"It happened so gradually I cannot pinpoint the exact moment that I changed my mind, I don't have a memory like yours. Although I remember the first time I held your hand I lied and said I felt nothing, but really I felt tingly all over. I remember one night I was over at your apartment and you were talking about one of your space movies describing the plot to me in great detail.I was bored out of my mind but I could have cared less about what you were saying. All I could do was watch your mouth as you talked and wonder how it would feel if I pressed mine against it."

"Then you did just that." he says quietly.

"Yes, I still get embarrassed about our first kiss."

"Why?"

"Because I was drunk and I threw myself at you. You did not want it and you did not like it."

"Oh I liked it, Amy I am going to make you understand how much I enjoyed it." He tells her and then he kiss her softly on the mouth and trails light kisses down to her neck. "Shall I give you a hickey to prove we are a couple?" he asks nipping her neck lightly.

"I think the ring on my finger is sufficient." Amy says tilting her head back to give him better access. Sheldon's mouth kisses and bites around her neck and his hands glide around her body. Amy breaks away and he looks stunned until she kisses him. Amy mirrors Sheldons actions and kisses her way down his long graceful neck. Amy bites him a little harder than she meant to but he does not seem to mind so she continues. Amy runs her hands up the inside of his shirt relishing the feeling of his bare skin. Amy finally has all she ever wanted thinking about how far they have come together and knowing that almost chokes her up. There first night together had been so different from this, they had both been so nervous and unsure what to do. It had not been the way she had always imagined it being. Reading to many romance novels had ruined her.

The first time was not the love making she had always wanted, it was awkward and oddly mechanical, insert A into slot B. Time had gone on though and as Sheldon began to enjoy himself more it got better. Like any subject that he found himself liking he immersed himself into research the topic. Sheldon read many books on the subject and would sometimes write notes after their sessions. Still she would not have described their dalliances as making love, more like the best research project she had ever worked on. Tonight though was different, it was slow unhurried, he was letting her take the reigns. It feels different somehow like they are showing each other how much they love each other with each caress. This is making love Amy thinks and even though it is not there first time in bed it is their first time making love.

Afterwards Amy lays her head on his chest feeling spent and pleasantly achy. Amy has a question that has been nagging at her for a while. Sheldon is in a good mood and it seems as good of a time as any to ask it.

"Sheldon are you awake?" Amy asks

"Yes but we should be asleep, it us nearly midnight and we have to catch a plane in the morning." Sheldon

"Can I ask you a question? then I promise I will go to sleep." Amy says

"Go ahead ask away."

"OK it is a little embarrassing to ask, but I have been wondering about it for awhile." Amy pauses unsure how to phrase her question.

"Go on" Sheldon says.

"If you were never sexually attracted to anyone before me, does that mean you were never… how do I phrase this? Aroused by anything before me?"

"I think what you are trying to ask me is did I get erections before you came into my life?"

"I was trying not to ask so crudely but yes that is what I was getting at."

"I must say that after our love making I would think you would tire of dirty talk." Sheldon says slightly shocked.

"Your right, I am sorry I asked just forget about it." Amy says looking up at him.

"No, it is fine I will answer you, Amy I am a man. I had fully functional genitals before I met you. I used to think of them as an inconvenience, an involuntary response that proved my body could fail me. It would happen when I got excited about something and stay until I willed them away. I once or twice tried to manually alleviate the problem but it seemed like pointless self abuse, and an awful lot of touching. It was not until I met you though that I got the urge to act on them." he tells her sighing.

"I know that was difficult for you thank you for being open with me Sometimes the biologist inside gets the better of me."

"Now go to sleep, we leave in the morning." Sheldon chides her and she drifts off to sleep .
