Sheldon's pov:

"What are you doing here Amy?" I asked letting her go.

"I don't know to be honest. I just remember hitting my head then seeing you in the hospital then this. " She said looking around the room.

"I thought a person that would keep me here would not be seen unless I decide to. I'm sure Amy is one of those people who will keep me here. " I said to my dad.

He dragged me a little out of hearing distance looking at Amy then me.

"Sheldon she was your connection to the real world. Without her you have no connection. " My dad said concerned.

"What are you talking about ? My friends,my family,my child are also helping me get back. " I said making what he said sound absurd.

"Yes but you can't find a world where it isn't with Amy. If something happened to Amy you would lose hope on getting back. She was your connection to the real world and now that she is here. You are both screwed. "

"Why ? I can just get her to get back. "

"Amy has met her connection that is keeping her here. She has met you. "

"So Amy is—is dead ? If she met me now ?" I stammered.

"No not yet but she is going to lose hope on fighting back. It has never been done before. Meeting your connection that is keeping you here then going back to the real world. "

"So what am I going to do ?"

"You need to help her find a stronger connection to the real world that will help her come back. You need her to go back so you can go back. "

I walked back to Amy, seeing her beautiful smile. She was at peace now. She felt less pain than she did these past couple of weeks. It was giving her more of a reason to stay. I was trying to get someone who has already made up where they wanted to go back to the real world.

"Where am I Sheldon ? Where are you ? What does this all mean ?" She asked still looking around the coffee shop.

"I don't really know to be honest but I do know what it means Amy. You are on the verge of life and death. You are linked to the real world and here until you have made your decision where you want to be. "

"I choose to be with you. I want to be where you are. " She said immediately not even thinking about it.

"No Amy. That's not how it works. You need to go back. You need to go back to the real world. You can't stay here with me. "

"I can and I will. I am not leaving you again. I can't leave you again. Sheldon please don't make me leave you again." She said in tears.

"Amy. " I called out to her but before I could say anything her lips were on mine.

She was scared to leave me. I could feel it in her kiss. Longing, Desperation,Fear. I deepened the kiss hoping she could feel the words on my lips. Goodbye. She needed to know she couldn't stay. She then pushed me away a little as she got angry. She read the words alright.

"You are not saying goodbye Sheldon. I refuse for you to say goodbye. I am not leaving you. I am staying. " She said.

"Okay Amy. I am not saying goodbye then. Why don't we go somewhere else okay ? "

She nodded. I walked over to my dad now.

"If you stay here and I go will you still be able to find me when I need you ? " I asked watching Amy look at the coffee shop still trying to make sense of it all.

"Yeah I will be able to find you. You will show me the way. Just go and Sheldon try get her back home. She needs to go back home. " He said desperately.

"Unfortunately her home is here so that's kind of hard but I am going to try get her back to her other home. " I said with sadness in my voice. I was going to do something I didn't want to do.

Amy came to me now looking at my dad with confusion now until it hit her.

"Sheldon is this your father ?" She said shocked.

I nodded with a smile," Father this is Amy Farrah Fowler my wife who I have told you about and Amy this is my father George. "

"It's nice to finally meet you Amy. You did good for him you know ? You made his life better. " My father said.

"Why don't we go now okay?" I said pulling her to the door.

I waved bye to my dad then held on to both of her hands and closed my eyes.

"What are you doing Sheldon?" She asked.

I then opened my eyes and opened the door that led somewhere else. Amy stared at it wide eyed not believing what was happening. She looked at me with a smile as she walked through the door then I followed.

Bernadette's pov:

"Leo you need to eat something please. " I said trying to put the food closer to him.

He pushed it away then shook his head.

"Mommy must tell me to eat. I will only eat if Mommy tells me to. " He said.

He knew that couldn't happen but he was hoping it would get her to come back. This poor little boy is at the verge of losing two parents at such a young age. We were on the verge of losing our two best friends. My two best friends.

"Leo. Mommy and Daddy can't focus on getting better if they have to worry about you looking after yourself. So why don't you eat even if it is small so Daddy and Mommy can focus on coming back okay. " Rajesh said reaching to his level.

Leo sighed then looked at the food like it was the last thing he wanted.

"I just want them back Uncle Raj. Why can't they come back ?" He said hoping he would give him the answer.

"They are trying to sweetie and they have the best doctors helping them so try eating your food while we wait." Penny said ruffling his hair.

Leo slowly took the food from my hands now eating the smallest bite imaginable.

"Do you want me to read to you Leo while you eat ?" Mary asked.

Leo nodded as Mary sat next to him opening up the children book and started reading. For every few words he could pick up he would read with her then munched on another bite of his sandwich as a reward.

"I can't ever imagine what that child is going through Howie. I can't imagine Halley and Michael losing us ever. " I said burying my head in his chest.

"I know Bernie but let's not think like that okay. We are not losing them. I refuse to believe we are losing them. They are both going to be okay. " Howard said brushing my hair out of my face.

We both knew that there was no definite in that statement but we hoped it was the truth. We hoped that this was the case. We hoped they would be okay.Please could they be okay. Please.

Sheldon's pov:

"I thought you don't like the beach" she said as I wrapped my arms around hers as we looked at the waves.

"I don't but you do. "

The light cool breeze lightly touched our skin as we heard the crash of the waves under the now pinkish and orange sky. I remembered this was something she always wanted us to do but we never did because I don't like the beach but here with her it was calming, peaceful.

"You know you are going back." I said whispering in her ear then kissed her cheek.

"Please Sheldon don't start this. I am staying with you. " She said softly.

I pulled her around so I could look into her face now.

"Amy you can't okay ?" I said brushing her hair back.

"I can Sheldon. I am staying." She said stubbornly.

"You really are stubborn. " I chuckled.

"Because I know what I want and that is you. "

"Amy don't you realise if you stay with me we are both never going to see Leo unless it is on a screen. " I said trying to convince her and me why she should go.

"What do you mean ?" She asked.

Just as I was about to say something a screen popped up showing Leo now in the waiting room refusing to eat while my mother and our friends tried to convince him.

" That is what I mean Amy. He needs us to come back.He needs you Amy. You can't leave him. I know you want to be with me and trust me I want that more than anything but you need to go back. Leo can't loose us and two siblings. He won't be able to take it. " I said thinking about Leo all alone without us. It hurt me. It convinced me why I was doing this even though I wanted to keep her here with me.

"He doesn't know about them yet. I couldn't find the right way to tell him without you. Why can't we go back together then ?"

" Because Amy. You are my connection to coming back. I am stuck here if you don't get back. I can only keep fighting to come back if you fight to go back yourself. You need to go first. "

"What if I go back and you aren't able to ? What happens then ? What happens if you don't say goodbye?" She said in tears.

"I promise to try my best to say goodbye if I won't be able to come back. "

" You promise to try your all to come back and if you cannot then try say goodbye. "

"I promise Amy. You need to go back. For Leo. For our children. For our family and friends. "

"You know we are having twins ?" She asked.

"Of course I do I was there for it. Not physically but I was there. I am the luckiest person ever to have you not only be the mother of my children but my wife. " I said as I kissed her forehead.

"I don't want to leave you Sheldon. It was dark there without you. I can't leave you. " She said with a sad face.

" I know but like I said I can only get back if you do. "

She fell into my arms now and I hugged her so tight like it would be the last. I kissed her again with my hand supporting her face but we said different words now. They were the same words. I miss you,I love you,We will see each other again. I didn't want it to ever end but my mind filled with the thought of Leo now. He needed her back.They needed her to go back. I had to give her back.

Rajesh's pov :

" Raj I am going to church again just look after Leo for me okay? " Mary said getting up.

" Meemaw I want to go with. Please can I go with you ." Leo pleaded probably tired of waiting around in his thoughts wondering if he parents are going to come home and he couldn't help in bringing them back.

" Okay sweetie you can come with me but if you want to stay here that is okay. " Mary said.

"No I think it is good to take him with you. Give him some hope. He needs some of that right now. " I said needing him to do something other than be here.

I loved him and it hurt me seeing both Amy and Sheldon in him everytime,and they weren't here. I hated that they weren't here. That I could lose them. He needed to keep him occupied. We couldn't help that much because we were scared of losing them to. He needed this.

"Okay then . You are coming with me Leo. Raj if anything happens" she said not being able to finish her sentence before I interupted.

"You will be the first person I call. Just go do what you need to do. "

She gave a smile as she took Leo with her.

"Where did Leo go ?" Missy asked with a coffee in hand sitting down while Georgie took a seat next to her.

"With your mom to church." I said.

"Well I guess we now know who her favourite grandchild is. " Georgie said trying to make things brighter.

"She doesn't have a favourite. She loves all of them the same. " Missy said.

"Keep telling yourself that. It will help you sleep better at night. " Georgie said gulping down another sip of coffee trying to get someone to laugh. Anyone. This room was filled with gloomy people. Terrified,scared,hopeless.

Missy hit him then laughed. We all saw another doctor come looking at us now. We all eagerly got up waiting for an update.

"I regret to tell you guys that we had a little complication with Amy but she is stable now so we are going to proceed and see how she takes it. Sheldon on the other hand is doing well so far. " The doctor said.

"What complication ?" I asked regretting it instantly wishing I didn't know.

"Mrs Fowler died on the table but we were able to get her back luckily it didn't take to long so she didn't loose to much oxygen. Surgery might be a little longer but we are doing our best. " The doctor said trying to be hopeful to people who were losing hope.

"Thank you doctor. " Georgie said letting him know he can leave.

"I'm going to lose her Raj. " Penny said in tears now hugging me.

"It's going to be okay Penny. We aren't going to lose her. She came back. She came back so she has to stay here. " I said trying to believe my own words. Trying to take comfort in my own words. Wishing it would come true but we both knew that we didn't know if she was. If she was going to come back to us.

"My twin brother and favourite sister in law. The world must really hate me. " Missy said sitting down barely able to process what is going on.

"It's going to be okay Missy. The world doesn't hate you. " Georgie said trying comforting her.

I called Mary to do what I promised and had to convince her to stay at church. There was nothing she could do here other than be miserable with us. At least she could feel at peace with whatever she believed in.

"You doing okay?" Howard said checking up on me.

"We could lose her too Howard. We could lose the only person that has been keeping us going through Sheldon. Now we going to lose them both. " I said as it became more real.

"I know buddy. Let's go get some coffee okay ? " He said not trying to cheer me up like I have been doing but sitting in the realisation with me. It felt more comforting listening to the truth for once instead of lies built on hope. I felt less alone. I felt understood. I didn't understand why but I preferred it over comforting lies.

Sheldon's pov:

"Amy you need to believe you want to go back if you are going to go back. "

"But I don't want to leave you "

We were both transported somewhere else. It was Leonard and my old apartment now it was Leonard and Penny's. I was back in my old home.

"Why did you bring us here Sheldon?" She asked.

"I didn't Amy. You must have. " I said.

"I am very sure I didn't. "

"Subconsciously Amy. This is where we are going to say goodbye so you can go home okay. " I said hating this. This was torture.

"My home is wherever you are. " She said making this harder for me.

"I knew you were going to say that but I meant Leo,our friends and our family. " I said smiling.

"We refused to say goodbye remember? Unless you aren't coming back. We are not saying goodbye. " Amy said.

"Okay then Amy we are saying see you again either way you have to go back and I have to stay. "

"So this is our decision before we meet in a coffee shop ?"

"I'm sorry ?" I asked.

" Penny was talking about it this morning she said technically we met here because the decision was made here that you were going to meet me. Without this decision there would be no me. So this is our decision before we meet back in the real world. " She said looking at me as she tried to study my face so she wouldn't forget.

"It was more blackmail than a decision but right now yeah it is a decision. If I was offered the chance to meet you again I would do it in a heartbeat. Amy Farrah Fowler my heart belongs to you and will keep finding you. "

"Okay then one more thing before I go. " She said pulling my shirt so I could reach her height and she kissed me again.

"We aren't finished. I refuse to believe we are finished. So this isn't goodbye. " She said looking at me in my eyes as I saw the tears fill her eyes.

"See you again,Amy. " I said with a smile.

"See you again,Sheldon. " She said.

"Tell Leo how much I love him okay ?" I said.

She nodded,"He misses you. " She said with a sad smile.

"I know but he knows I am here. I miss him to. "

The screen popped up now. She watched everyone stare into a distance looking completely miserable. I know she felt bad for them feeling like this. It was giving her a reason to come back. She looked at me one last time before closing her eyes finding every reason she needs to go back. To pull her back. I watched her leave and I was fighting the urge to keep her with me. To keep her in my arms but I knew what we both had to do. This was going to keep me going back like I said I would do.

She held my hand as I felt her slowly fading away. Her hand was in mine until it was gone. She was gone. It was both of us then just me. I was alone now staring at the apartment. I made my way to my spot surrounded by the silence but I hated it more than ever now.

"She's gone isn't she? You got her to go back ?" My father's voice now filled the room as he made his way to sit next to me. I had no idea how he got here but at this point I didn't care anymore. I just kept thinking of Amy. Feeling the emptiness of my hand as hers wasn't in mine.

I nodded not the least bit pleased about it," The worst feeling in the world is having her with me then pushing her away. "

"I know Sheldon but she needed to go back. This was the most unselfish thing you have done in your life do you realise that ?" He said trying to comfort me.

I laughed now,"Look what she has done to me ? She has made me less selfish just so I could push her away. " I said.

"Leo will thank you for it one day. "

"Everyone will thank me for it. They all need her. "

"You know I have never witnessed someone being both their connection to the real world and this world before. " He said.

"What do you mean ?" I asked.

"You were the reason she wanted to stay but you were also the reason she went back. That has never been done before Sheldon. You should be proud of yourself. "

"I know I just miss her already. I hate that I had to fight every being in me not to keep her here with me. " I said.

A TV screen then popped up and I watched the doctor come into the room .

"It hasn't been as long as I thought. Something happened Leonard. What if she is gone ?" Penny said crying into Leonard's arms.

"Let's hear what the doctor says first okay." Leonard said.

The doctor came to them now taking off his scrub cap. Everyone waited for him to tell him and I was waiting to scared it didn't work. Scared she was somewhere else and I wouldn't find her.

"Amy is doing just fine. She gave us a little bit of a scare but she came back and stayed with us. She responded better than we thought and she is now conscious if you would like to see her. " The doctor said with a smile.

They all sighed with relief as I did except I felt a little bit of sadness as well.

"And Sheldon ?What about Sheldon ?" Bernadette asked.

"He is still in surgery but go see Amy so long while you wait. I'm sure her little boy is eager to see her. " The doctor said with a smile.

They all hugged each other in relief and my mom picked Leo up knowing he was confused on what the doctor was saying.

"Your mommy is going to be just fine sweetheart. You see she is going to be fine. " My mom said happy to say those words.

"You see ? I'm sure seeing that was worth it ?" My father said.

"Yeah. She got back even though she saw me. She is back with the people who need her the most. " I said.

What if I could do that to. What if I saw my meemaw and pop pop then came back. What if I could say the goodbye I have always wanted to say then go back to the people I love. What if I could do it all ? Was this a risk I was willing to take ?

No it wasn't. I made a promise I would try my best to get back so I shouldn't take a risk. I saw everyone enter her room now and she looked tired while she had a bandage on her head.

"Mommy !" He shouted sounding like a kid on Christmas morning as Penny helped him on the bed. He sat next to Amy and she pulled him closer.

Leo started crying on her chest not believing she is there with him.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Amy said sounding weak.

"I thought you weren't coming back mommy. I was scared. Please don't ever go away again. "

"I'm sorry Leo. I'm okay now you see. It is all going to be okay. " She said kissing the top of his head.

"You really wanted to be with Sheldon that decided to almost join him. " Leonard said trying to make the room a little lighter.

She gave a smile at just my name," What can I say I can't be Juliet without my Romeo but I couldn't leave you guys or this little one. ".

"Well you better not leave us because if you do I don't know what I would do. " Mary said as we heard the tears in her voice.

"It's okay guys. Im here now. You don't need to worry about me. "

I watched them all relax knowing she is okay. Knowing she is fine. It made me happy. It made me being away from her worth it if they are okay. I will be there soon and till then I was happy she was there.

I looked around to see Wil now and the events of my accident came back to my memory. He was okay. I was glad he was okay. It gave me more of a relief.

"Wil is okay. " I said to myself.

"Why wouldn't he be ?" My father asked.

Before I could answer we heard a knock on the door and it wasn't coming from the TV. It was coming from outside the apartment. That was strange. My father was even confused to hear the door. I got up to head to the door and opened it.

Once I opened it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A sight I never thought I would see again. My father looked at me like I did this but I didn't. I didn't think of it I swear I didn't. So what were they doing here ? I was so happy to see them but I was scared to. What did this all mean ?

"Hello there Moon Pie. " My meemaw said with this big smile I have never seen it before.

"Meemaw. Pop pop. You are here. " I said still trying to take in what I was hearing.

"Yes we are Shelly . We are here. " My pop pop said.

I looked at my father waiting for him to explain what was happening but it looked like even he didn't know. What was in store for me now ?
