They got home and had dinner together before they started discussing the Agreement. Sheldon pulled out a document that he had been working on. "Read through this and then we can move on from there," Sheldon told Amy as he handed her his revised document.

She looked through it. It said that they could remove each other's clothing now, but only above the waist. Any and all touching below the waist required clothing to act as a barrier. These things would be reviewed every two weeks to make sure they were comfortable with it. It all seemed like a reasonable start. Knowing Sheldon, it even seemed generous. Then Amy got to a part that confused her. The Agreement said, "No coitus is to happen between the two parties until September 23rd."

"Why September 23rd?" Amy asked when she got to that part.

"That is the day that I would like to get married. If you want a different date, then I'll need to change the Agreement to reflect that," Sheldon replied.

There was a lot of information being thrown at Amy in that moment. She started with what was easily the most surprising. "You want to get married in four months?"

"Yes. September 23rd is the anniversary of our first date. However, I am open to other dates if you had one in mind," Sheldon told her.

Amy thought there would be years between the proposal and the wedding. This was Sheldon. He needed her to go on a date with another man before he became her boyfriend. He almost lost her before he proposed. Yet here he was, a perfect date picked out and only a few months out. Amy hadn't thought about their first date in a long time, but she liked the idea that he had picked something that meant something to the two of them.

"It sounds perfect," Amy said. Then she thought about the rest of it. She blushed and cleared her throat before asking, "No coitus until we are married?"

"I promised my mother," Sheldon said. This was the part of the conversation that he was dreading. He knew Amy wouldn't push him on it. If she had been willing to stay with him for five years without intercourse, she wouldn't leave him for making her wait a few months more. He wasn't even sure why he was keeping that promise to his mother, but it was so deeply engrained in him that he had trouble even seeing past it.

"I should have went ahead with the elopement plan," Amy muttered. Still she signed the Agreement before sliding it over to Sheldon for him to sign as well.

Once he was done, Amy said, "Now, I'm allowed to take off your shirt."

"You should probably call your parents first. You didn't tell them yet, remember?"

Amy sunk her face into Sheldon's chest. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "You know that we have the rest of our lives together, right? You can make one phone call. You can make a dozen phone calls," Sheldon said.

"I know. I'm just not looking forward to another awkward talk with my mother," Amy said, but she got up and went into the bedroom to make the call anyway.

Sheldon could only hear Amy's side of the conversation as he cleaned up the remnants from dinner and the Agreement supplies.

"Hello, Mother. I just called to tell you that Sheldon and I are getting married on September 23rd... We just picked the date. I wanted you to be the first to know when... No, Mother, I'm not pregnant... Why would I try to hide it by picking a date four months away? I would be showing by then..." Amy said. Sheldon started laughing. He could imagine that his mother might have a similar reaction when he finally called her and told her when he and Amy were getting married.

Sheldon decided to call his mother.

"Cooper residence," Mary said as she answered the phone.

"Hello, Mom."

"Don't 'hello, Mom' me. I need to know what happened," Mary said.

"She said yes. We're currently planning on getting married on September 23rd, but we haven't made any other plans than the date."

"Wow. That's soon. Your girl isn't in a family way, is she?" Mary asked.

Sheldon laughed. "No. Her mother is accusing her of the same thing right now. It's the anniversary of our first date, so we decided that it was a good day to choose to get married. Leonard and Penny only had a few months between their engagement and their wedding too," Sheldon added.

"Yes, but Leonard and Penny are a very different kind of couple than you and Amy. Okay, I'll call the church and see if Pastor Roberts can fit you two in on the 23rd even if you only go once a year," Mary said.

"I went twice this year. Plus again when I was in Texas with you," Sheldon said. He didn't mean to tell his mother that because he was afraid she would think he was finding religion again.

"You did?"

"I went the day I asked her. I'm not planning on going on a regular basis, but I went that day. I don't want to talk about it," Sheldon added.

"Okay. I'm glad that you found strength in our Lord even if you don't want to admit it," Mary said.

Amy walked back out to the living room. "I've got to go, Mom. I just wanted to update you. Let me know what the Pastor says, and I'll let you know if anything else comes up," Sheldon said.

"Okay, Shelly. Have a good night," Mary told her son.

"Thanks, Mom, you, too," Sheldon said before hanging up the phone.

Sheldon set his phone down on the counter and walked over to Amy. "How did it go?" he asked her.

"Other than the fact that my mother doesn't believe I'm not pregnant, it went pretty well. I suppose she'll believe me when there is no baby. At least, not yet," Amy said looking up at Sheldon.

"My mother seemed to jump to that conclusion as well. As if we wouldn't use protection if we were having coitus. We won't be ready for children until I've gotten another raise if you stay with them or you've gotten two raises if I stay with them," Sheldon said.

"You've put a lot of thought into that. All I thought about was that I would like time alone with you before we bring children into it," Amy said.

"There is that as well," Sheldon admitted.

"Should we have a more serious discussion about this?" Amy asked suddenly. It seemed like something they should talk about before they got married. Amy had always wanted children. At least she had always wanted Sheldon's children.

"Maybe another day. We've already had a few serious discussions today, and as long as we can agree that we want children, but not now, we'll be okay. That's something we wanted since we met. Though, the situation has changed and I no longer believe that they will be formed in a test tube," Sheldon said. He was tired and he didn't want to talk about specifics regarding their future children.

"Should we go to bed?" Amy asked. She could see how tired he was.

"Okay, but first I want to do something," Sheldon said. He unbuttoned Amy's sweater and removed it. "That's all. I think about doing that everyday of my life."

Amy smiled at how sweet it was. He proved that he wanted her. She wanted to take off his t-shirts, but that seemed like a little too much for tonight. Instead, she waited until he came into their room and she unbuttoned the top two buttons of his pajama top. All it exposed was a bit more of his white undershirt, but she just touched his chest for a moment before settling in beside him to sleep. The new freedom to remove his clothing was a little scary, and Amy was convinced that she would need to work up to more with him. She was glad for the Relationship Agreement and it's restrictions. Not that she would ever admit it.

A/N: The Robotic Manipulation first aired on September 23rd in The United States. I'm a sentimental fool, hence the proposal on May 24th and the wedding set to take place on September 23rd. I'm not going to lie, no matter what happens on the show, that will always be their anniversary to me. Thanks for reading, and I'll be back with another chapter on Monday.
