Part 2.
After crying Sheldon didn't even feel like eating anymore. Maybe he should just go to bed. He got off the couch and locked the door and turned off the lights and went towards the bedroom.
He opened the door, but Amy was nowhere in sight. He spun around confused, she did come in here right? There wasn't much places she could hide in the bedroom. He was just about to panic when he noticed the bathroom door was closed. He sighed in relief. Maybe she was just getting ready for bed.
He changed into his pajamas in the bedroom and waited for her to come out, so he could brush his teeth. 'I would just give her a few minutes' he thought as he sat on the bed.
A few minutes turned into an hour, an hour turned into two, and at some point, Sheldon dozed off. He woke up when he felt his phone vibrate. He looked around and realized Amy still hadn't come out yet. He got up and knocked on the door
Knock Knock Knock "Amy?"
Knock Knock Knock "Amy?"
Knock Knock Knock "Amy?" He waited a few seconds but got no answer. He tried turning the handle, but it was locked. Amy never locked the door. "Amy? Open the door" he called out but was only answered with silence.
"Amy?! Please! Just open the door"
He heard her sniffle before shouting back, "Leave me alone Sheldon!"
He could tell she had been crying. He hated when she cried, he never felt so lost and useless. "Amy, just open the door please" he begged
"I just want to be alone" she choked out before sobbing again. Sheldon rested his head against the door, he wasn't too sure how long this would last. He was running out of ways to help her, especially when all she wanted to do was be left alone.
He slumped down on the floor. His brain was screaming at him to get up, but he didn't have it in him. He just wanted his wife to talk to him.
He woke up the next morning to noises in the living room. His ack and shoulders ached from sleeping on the floor. 'Why was I even on the floor?' he thought. He turned and realized the bathroom door was open. It took a few seconds for it all to come together.
"Amy!" he called out while scrambling to get off the floor. He half ran half crawled out the bedroom door to see her picking up her bag. "Amy?" But she continued moving towards the door. "Amy? Are you even listening to me?"
"I'll see you later" she mumbled as she opened the door
"Amy, wait. We need to talk" he said following her out into the hallway.
"Sheldon" she sighed, "I just want to go to work" she said pushing the elevator button
"Amy, I'm sorry about last night. I didn't think"
Leonard came out his apartment dressed for work, "Hey guys" he started but stopped when he noticed how tense they were. "Everything okay?"
"Everything is fine" Amy said through clenched teeth, jamming the button. 'Why was this taking so long?'
"Amy please. Talk to me" Sheldon begged. Amy sighed in relief when the elevator finally opened. She entered and Sheldon reached out to grab her elbow. He didn't have anything to say, he just wanted her to look at him.
"I'll see you later" she whispered, shrugging off his hand. Sheldon watched helplessly as the doors closed.
He felt tears burning his eyes again. "Everything okay with you and Amy?" Leonard asked coming close to his best friend
Sheldon wiped the corner of his eyes, "Everything is fine. Would you mind carrying me to work? I know I'm dreadfully behind schedule."
"Yeah, sure. No problem. Just knock whenever you're ready" Leonard said before hesitantly going back to his own apartment.
Sheldon shuffled back into his own apartment, closing the door softly behind him. 'Why wouldn't she talk to me?' he thought as he moved towards the bathroom. He looked around the bathroom that Amy shut herself into last night. "Oh kid" he muttered when he saw the trash can
Sheldon sat on the couch surfing through channels waiting for Amy to come home. Star Wars was showing on the SyFy channel but he couldn't even enjoy it.
He left work early because let's face it, he wasn't getting anything done. And all he did was watch tv and worry about Amy.
At around 6:30 Amy finally opened the door.
"Hey" she muttered tiredly as she toed off her shoes. Sheldon always hated when she did that, but he chose not to say anything
"Hello. Do you want anything to eat? I ordered Chinese"
"I'm not that hungry" she said before moving towards the bedroom.
"Amy wait. I want to… no we need to talk" he said turning to face her retreating body
"Not now Sheldon. I just want to sleep"
"I-I know… I know you started your menses yesterday" he said in a low voice causing Amy to freeze with her hand on the door knob. "I saw the wrappers in the bin. They weren't there before, so it had to be yesterday. Is that what made you upset?"
He watched as his wife's shoulder shook with silent sobs. "It was just the final nail in the coffin" she choked out "I know the test was negative, but getting additional confirmation that I wasn't pregnant just made it hurt more" Sheldon got up and wrapped Amy in a hug, "I'm sorry for locking you out of the bathroom" she murmured into his chest
"It's okay" he said, "I'm not sure if you want to hear this, but Leonard asked if we would be their son's godparents."
"I know" she whispered, "Penny called today and asked me the same thing. I told her yes."
"If that's what you want" he responded
Amy pulled back slightly, "Thank you for understanding" she said before pressing her lips to his, which surprised him. He did nothing to stop her until he felt her hands on the hem of his shirt. He placed his hands on top of hers to stop her.
"Amy we shouldn't. I-it won't… be right" he said gently
She lowered her eyes, "You're right. I don't know what I was thinking"
Sensing her disappoint Sheldon added, "Maybe another time"
She nodded in agreement, "You said you ordered dinner?"
Two weeks later Sheldon lay in bed listening to the shower run. 'She didn't even stay for post-coital cuddles. Something that she insisted on in the first place.' He couldn't help but think this still wasn't feeling right.
