Carrying on from previous chapter
"So" said Penny "When do you want to get married?"
"Sorry before we start that, can you all wait a moment please" said George standing up and walking out of the apartment leaving everybody staring at him in surprise, he returned less than a minute later with Wyatt, Hannah, Mary Meemaw and Missy, the reaction to them being there was similar to George suddenly leaving, the kids were especially excited to see their extended family
"Mom, Dad what are you doing here? Asked Natasha
"Well you didn't think I was going to miss our daughters 30th birthday and an engagement did you? Asked Wyatt
"Mom? Asked Sheldon standing up as he gave Meemaw a hug
"Shelley when George told me what he was planning, I said I wanted to be here for it and obviously if we were all here for the proposal it may have aroused suspicion" said Mary to her son
"Going back to Penny's question, I don't know when we are getting married yet but maybe it will be soon, everything about this relationship has gone quickly so why not a wedding" said Natasha to the room in general
"Natasha I will say the same as I said to sweet little Amy when Sheldon married her, welcome to the family darlin" said Mary giving her a little hug
"When did you arrive? Asked Penny
"Couple of hours ago, we were hiding out in Alex's apartment" replied Hannah
"So you knew why there were coming? Asked Natasha to Alex
"Yep and I am very good at keeping secrets, although to be fair I only found out last night and because I was working I gave George my apartment key to let them in" replied Alex
"Can I make a suggestion here" said Sheldon
"Sure? Said George
"It's already crowded in here, so why don't we pack all the food up and come and celebrate this engagement at our house" replied Sheldon
"What do you think Nat? asked George
"Yes I agree" replied Natasha
15 minutes later everybody was back at Sheldon and Amy's house relaxing in the garden and the pool house
"Oh, you have another dog and you have rabbits" said Mary as she was greeted by the dogs in the garden and Marie and Archie were dragging her up to the back of the garden to see the rabbit pen
"Yes the new one is called Duke and the rabbits belong to Marie, Richard and Archie" replied Amy following them
Sheldon was the last to arrive back with several bottles of champagne and started pouring some out into glasses, he had also got a bottle of non alcoholic wine for Kelly, he took the trays of glasses out for everybody as Natasha and George spoke up
"Ok, George and I were talking on the way over, we would like to get married at Christmas here, presumably Mum and Dad you will be here and Mary?
"Yes of course" came from the three of them
"Alright, we won't hold it on the 24th as that is Sheldon and Amy's anniversary, so how about the 23rd, that gives us 3 months to organise everything" said Natasha
"Also Mom to please you we will get married in a church, but it won't be an overly religious ceremony" said George to his Mom
"You will be in church, that I am more than happy with"
"Also it goes without saying that everybody is invited to the wedding but please don't feel offended or upset if you are not in the wedding, there is so many of you all that I can't please everybody" said Natasha looking a bit stressed
"Natasha it's your wedding, you do as you like, we will all be there to support you" said Bernadette with Amy nodding for support
"Yes also I will be like 6 months pregnant by then and will look ridiculous in any sort of costume anyway" said Kelly
"Thanks"
"Talking of who is going to be in the wedding, Sheldon will you be my best man? Asked George
"Of course and I am only sorry that we were not close enough when I got married to Amy that I couldn't choose you over Leonard, not that I regret having Leonard as my best man, he is my best friend after all" replied Sheldon giving his brother a hug and then Leonard who was looking at him in confusion
"Forget about it, we are good now that's what matters, also Leonard I would like you to be an usher if that's ok" replied George
"Sure thanks for asking" replied Leonard
"Penny would you be my maid of honour? Asked Natasha
"You bet I will" replied Penny
"Ok, for bridesmaids and page boys, I think we will go with two each, so two bridesmaids in Rose and Marie and two page boys in Archie and Richard and we will need two witnesses to sign the marriage certificate, so Amy and Alex would you do that? Asked Natasha
"Yes of course" replied Amy and Alex together
"Am still feeling kind of bad that I am leaving people out though" said Natasha
"Sugar, don't worry about it, if you like, Bernadette, Kelly and I will organise your hen party and then Raj and Howard can organise the stag night, none of us are offended, don't worry" said Missy
"Alright, now I need to think about a wedding dress" said Natasha
"Would you like one that I can have custom made for you? Asked Penny
"Oh, I hadn't thought about that, I will spend a few days going round the bridal shops first to see what I can get" replied Natasha as Marie appeared in front of her and clambered on to her lap
"Tasha" said Marie
"Yes sweetie"
"What you doing with Uncle George?
"We are getting married, would you like to get dressed up in a pretty dress?" replied Natasha
"Yes"
"Good because I would like you to walk down the aisle with me"
"What's an aisle Tasha?
"It's when I enter the church and walk towards the front to where George will be"
"Oh, are you having baby like Kelly?" asked Marie as she got off Natasha and moved on to George
"Not yet but definitely way in to the future" replied Natasha
"You know Nat, when George Skyped me he was so nervous he couldn't speak for a few minutes and just kept gulping" said Wyatt slapping George on the back
"Well I am glad that you approve of him" said Natasha
"What's not to approve and it's not like I didn't already know him from all the gatherings we have had the past few years"
"Also are we going to get to see this ring? Asked Hannah
"Oh sure" replied Natasha extending her hand out for them to admire the ring
"It's sparkly" said Marie as she ran off up the garden to her Wendy house
"It's very pretty" said Hannah
"It's also insured although I know you won't lose it" commented George
"I don't know how you could afford such a beautiful ring George, I hope you are not short of cash now? Asked Natasha
"You are worth the beauty of the ring and I am a good saver plus I am earning good money now as a Manager" replied George
"That's very sweet" commented Amy who was sitting on a sun lounger with Sheldon cuddling her
"I hope you two are not going to have another PDA in front of us" moaned Howard
"Amy is my wife and I always show affection to her, maybe you should do the same with Bernadette" replied Sheldon as he demonstrated just how much in love he was with his wife by kissing her in front of everybody
"Shelley that's enough of that" scolded Mary
"Mom, we were just kissing" said Sheldon
"I don't care, I don't want to see it in front of me, don't disrespect your mother Shelley, your not too old for me to smack you upside the head" said Mary seriously
"Sheldon its ok, we don't want to upset your mom" said Amy standing up and going inside and returning with another chair and sat down beside him, just holding his hand this time
"How long are you all staying for? Asked Sheldon to his mom
"Until Monday, Missy could only get one day off work at short notice"
"Ok well we can sort out where you are all sleeping later" said Sheldon
"Daddy" said Marie who had been in the Wendy house with Archie
"Yes Marie?
"Are Nannies and Missy staying for long time?
"No they are going back on Monday, but they will be here at Christmas for a couple of weeks" replied Sheldon
"Can I marry Archie? Asked Marie suddenly causing everybody to laugh at her suggestion
"No Marie, you can't" replied Amy
"Why?
"Because you are only three years old and I don't think you know what marry means either" said Amy
"Yes we do" chipped in Archie as he climbed on to Leonard's lap
"What does it mean then? Asked Leonard to his son although Rose answered first for all of them
"Being with them all the time"
"Me and Archie play all the time" said Marie
"Yes but that doesn't mean you need to get married, it just means you like each other as friends" said Amy
Marie and Archie looked at them confused and ran back off to the Wendy house together
"I wonder what they do in there together, Marie only has her girly toys in there from what I know" commented Amy
"Archie brings his cars and lego" said Rose as she went off to join them
"Well if we were getting closer to being related with George and Natasha getting married then I think we will be even more so if Marie and Archie hook up when they are older" said Penny to Amy
"Why are you two encouraging this? Asked Sheldon
"Oh relax, they are just kids, they don't know what they are saying" replied Amy getting back on the sun lounger with him and receiving a glare from Mary in the process
"Does anybody want anything else to drink or eat? Asked Sheldon
"No I think we demolished all that food already and if I drink anymore then we will be in even more trouble with your mom" said Amy as she whispered into Sheldon's ear
"Penny is your store open tomorrow? Asked Mary
"Yes, did you want to go?
"I think so, I will need to find a dress for the wedding" replied Mary
"I can come with you then and help you choose, what about you mum? You coming?
"Why not" replied Hannah
"Maybe all of us ladies can go and have a look then" suggested Penny
The little party ended around midnight and Sheldon decided to put Mary and Meemaw in the annexe and Missy in the attic conversion and after putting the very excited children to bed, he and Amy were now in bed themselves talking about the day's events
"Amy are you ok that you are not part of the wedding?
"Of course, I had my own special day and I was part of Penny's wedding so it's all good" replied Amy kissing him
"I do wonder whether it would be a good idea to have a joint stag and hen party" said Sheldon
"Probably not a good idea, it's a chance for both sides to let their hair down without partners getting involved, I will suggest to Bernadette that when we have our Hen party that its not on the same day as the stag party, then all the fathers and uncle can look after the children and vice versa for your stag party" replied Amy
"Your birthday is coming up in a few weeks, is there anything you would like to do? Asked Sheldon
"Not sure, maybe just spend the day here, I don't really want to make a big fuss" replied Amy
"Well we can organise that we have the day alone then" replied Sheldon
"That would work and then maybe in the evening have people over, my mom could have the kids from the night before and bring them back later in the day"
"Sure and also there is a reason why I put Mom and Meemaw in the annexe" said Sheldon
"Oh whys that?
"As you saw for yourself, my mom is not comfortable with watching physical contact and I definitely don't want her to hear what we about to do" replied Sheldon as he cuddled up closer to Amy and kissed her
"We still have Missy right above us though" said Amy once they stopped kissing
"Yes but she wont be able to hear us" replied Sheldon as he moved on top of Amy and they kissed again
Next chapter will have Amy's birthday and possibly the wedding and Christmas, just depends how I make the chapter go
