"I didn't feel guilty about the kiss Sheldon. He kissed me. I felt guilty about how I responded to the kiss. I felt guilty about what happened between the two of us that night, after he kissed me" she said looking towards the ground with her head down.


Back in the kitchen, there was collective gasp from the group as they all stared at the monitor.

Sheldon went as pale as a ghost. "What…what happened?" he stammered. "What happened between the two of you that night?"

"Oh, Sheldon" Amy wailed. "I feel so stupid. I stayed with him all night. I mean, I had to. It was past dawn by the time we finished" she rambled.

"Son-of-a" Leonard yelled in the kitchen. "Why that two-timing little…" "SHHH!" everyone said eyes glued to the monitor.

Sheldon thought he was going to faint any minute. What was she telling him? "Amy?" he questioned.

"I am so sorry" she continued "I don't know what came over me but I just couldn't control myself after he kissed me. I had been drinking so obviously I was in no condition to make good choices and…"

"STOP!" Sheldon yelled as he suddenly turned away from her.

"Sheldon?" Amy said hesitantly.

"Do not continue. Please, I do not want to know any details" he said softly.

Sheldon exhaled loudly. So this was it, he thought. This was what it felt like to die. His Amy, his intelligent, kind, beautiful Amy, was his no longer. She had given herself to another man after she was betrothed to him. She kept it a secret and married him anyway. It was over. His love, his marriage, his future children, his life. Finished. He turned to walk out of the house not sure where he was going to go.

"Sheldon. I am sorry but there was so much screaming and blood I had to call 911 and stay with him" Amy said.

Sheldon stopped when he heard those details. What kind of kinky thing did she have going with this guy? "Good Lord Amy! What on earth…Nope. Never mind. I do not want to know" he said and started to move away again.

"Sheldon, his insurance may have paid for most of it. He actually kept apologizing to me. And I don't think he is going to sue us. I think enough time has passed and he seemed genuinely happy to see me at the party. That's a good sign, right? I made sure I was especially nice to him last night" Amy rambled on again.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Penny whispered to Leonard back in the kitchen. Leonard just shrugged with a very confused look on his face.

Sheldon stared at her. "What?" he asked like someone who had just awoken from a nightmare and was not quite awake yet.

"I said it was a good sign that he didn't seem to be angry with me for breaking his nose" Amy replied.

"You broke his nose having sex with him?" Sheldon asked confused.

There was a collected groan from all of the men in the kitchen.

"What?" Amy said startled. "Why would you say that?" Amy asked bewildered. "Why on earth would you think I had sex with him?"

"Well" Sheldon began "you said you felt guilty about what you did after he kissed you, you said you could not control yourself and that you stayed with him all night and that you had been drinking…"

"SHELDON!" Amy interrupted. "How could you think that I would ever…that I could ever…?" Amy was on the verge of tears. So that was it, she thought. That was why he had been acting this way. Why he left her. Why he said the marriage was over. He thought she had slept with Steve. Amy was hurt but more than that, she was angry.

Amy paced waiving her arms in an animated fashion and began speaking in a rushed tone. "Sheldon. I did not have sex with Steve. You are the only man I have ever been with. Steve gave me a quick innocent good night kiss in my hallway following a dinner between two colleagues and I overreacted and shoved my elbow in his face breaking his nose."

"I knew it!" said Penny in the kitchen. "I knew there was more to the story that she wasn't telling me. "SHHH!" everyone said again.

"I knew he needed medical attention but since I had been drinking, I knew I couldn't drive. Rather than call a taxi or Uber, I panicked and overacted again and called 911" Amy said.

Sheldon started to interrupt her but she silenced him by quickly holding up her hand to his face.

Amy continued her confession. "I rode with Steve in the ambulance and waited with him in the ER all night until they had x-rayed his nose and packed it with cotton. He was in a lot of pain and I didn't want to leave him alone. You may recall how painful a nose injury can be from when you hurt yours overacting the day Leonard had his nose surgery" she said smugly.

Sheldon winced as he did recall how painful his injury was back then.

In the kitchen, Leonard winced too remembering his pain from the surgery.

"He handled it pretty well and apologized to me for the kiss and I apologized to him for breaking his nose but I was still pretty mortified about what I had done. It was like that TSA agent all over again" Amy sighed, thinking back to when she ruined the girls trip to Vegas and had to be on the "no-fly list" for a year.

The guys looked at Penny and Bernadette who just nodded in agreement.

"I didn't want to tell you because I was embarrassed and quite frankly I felt guilty thinking that he might have a change of heart and sue me for damages. I knew we were saving up for the wedding. A trip to the ER in an ambulance can't be cheap" she kept going.

"Yes, he should have never kissed me without permission even if it was a quick innocent peck. However, I don't think breaking his nose was the best course of action on my part. I...I didn't want you to think less of me Sheldon" she finished finally running out of steam.

Sheldon stood there speechless. So…she did not sleep with another man. She did not have romantic feelings for another man. In fact, she had hit that man so hard after he kissed her that she broke his nose. She was only fawning over him at the Halloween party to ensure he would not sue them.

Sheldon had never felt such joy. It was not over. He could still be married to Amy and someday hold their sweet progeny in his arms. He was alive again.

"Amy!" he yelled as he ran to her. In an unprecedented move, Sheldon threw his arms around Amy, picked her up, swung her around in a circle and then kissed her passionately.

Amy was stunned by Sheldon's sudden change in demeanor and she had never been picked up like this before and swung around like a rag doll. And oh how he was kissing her! Her mind went blank as she put her arms around his neck and held on for dear life.

Eventually, Sheldon put her down as they both tried to catch their breath.

"Amy" Sheldon panted. "I am so sorry for leaving you. I apologize for not staying to hear you out last night. I was just so…so overwhelmed. It was too much and I ran. Please, please forgive me" he pleaded.

"Sheldon" Amy said as she looked up into his eyes. "I won't lie and say that it didn't hurt like hell when you left and said you didn't want to be married to me, but I forgive you. As long as you don't ever do that again and you forgive me for keeping what I did a secret from you. I am sorry about that. I know better now" she smiled.

"I promise' he said. "I will not ever run away from our problems again. From now on, when we have difficulties, I will stay and talk them out. And yes, I forgive you" he said smiling.

Amy smiled back and tilted her head up to kiss him. Sheldon kissed her back increasing the intensity of the kiss. He lifted her again putting her legs around him and walked them both over to the couch. He sat down with Amy straddling over him never breaking their kiss.

"What's happening?" Bernadette asked. "It got all quiet" she said as the baby monitor sat silent on the kitchen table.

Suddenly there were some moans and the sound of rustling clothing coming from the monitor.

"Uh, oh. I know what is happening" said Penny with a grin.

"What?" asked Raj.

"Operation Save Shamy is a success!" she gloated.

More moans and some type of smacking sounds could be heard. Howard turned off the monitor and grimaced.

"Well, should we go out the back and give them some privacy?" Leonard asked.

"I'm not leaving my own house. Given how often they "you know" I doubt Sheldon will take very long" Howard said dryly.

"Ewww!" said the girls.

"I don't think it works like that for them" said Leonard.

"Yeah" adds Raj. "According to Sheldon, it can take hours to …"

"Okay, we're leaving" Howard interrupted as he opened the back door of the kitchen to the garage.

Everybody headed out and Howard closed the door.

The door popped back open. Howard stepped in, went over to the table and grabbed the monitor. He started back out the door but not before he stopped for a moment and turned on the monitor.

"Oh Amy" Sheldon moaned as Amy began moving up and down in a slow and steady rhythm on top of him. With her tights and panties discarded, her skirt was pooled at her waist and her hands were gripping the back of the couch on either side of his shoulders. Sheldon's hands were under Amy's shirt and he was caressing her gently. "Sheldon" she breathed.

"Damn. I'm going to have to have that couch cleaned" swore Howard shaking his head. He immediately turned off the monitor and left quickly closing the kitchen door behind him to join the others.


In the living room, Amy continued her rhythmic motions. Sheldon could feel her warmth and wetness surrounding him. Her head was tilted back and she moaned as he pushed her bra out of the way and began rolling her nipples with his thumbs under her shirt. He leaned forward and put his mouth on her through the fabric. Dark wet circles began to form. Amy moaned again and slowed her movements for a moment. Sheldon released her nipple and leaned back as she took his face in her hands and bent down to kiss him plunging her tongue inside his mouth.

She began increasing her movements again with her tongue mimicking in his mouth her up and down rhythm on his length. She was driving Sheldon crazy.

Sheldon had felt desire for Amy many times before but never such an unabashed abandoned desire. He was like a man dying of thirst upon discovering a life giving source of water. Amy was his life giving source. He thought he had lost her forever. To know he had not, that she had always been his, overwhelmed him. He moaned as he reached for her head and wove his long fingers through her hair as they continued their kiss.

When they stopped to catch their breath, Amy moved her hands and leaned back again speeding up her rhythm. With the way she was moving on him, Sheldon knew he could not last much longer. He moved one hand to her waist while the other one moved even lower to under her skirt. Amy cried out and moved even faster as Sheldon began to stroke her slick folds feeling the friction between his fingers and her movements.

Sheldon felt her tighten around him with her orgasm and his fingers became even wetter. He quickly moved both hands to hold on to her waist and began thrusting to meet her rhythm. He threw his head back and closed his eyes as he joined her and cried out with his own orgasm.


The room become quiet then as their movements slowed and their breathing started to return to normal. Amy leaned her forehead on Sheldon's and relished the feel of him still inside her. She wasn't sure if she would ever get to feel this way again. To feel the unspoken bond between lovers. To feel Sheldon's love and trust and want for her. It was a gift that she would cherish and never again take for granted.

"We should get up" she said finally. "Before someone walks in on us."

"Yes" he replied but like Amy he made no effort to move. Strangely, he wasn't worried about modesty or even the ungodly amount of germs that must be on Howard's couch.

That was amazing, Sheldon thought. Even though it was exponentially quicker than their other sexual encounters.

Amy" he said. "Was that what they call "make-up sex"?

She lifted her head and looked into his eyes. They looked bright and alive again. And they were glistening slightly. Once again her patience had paid off when it came to Dr. Sheldon Cooper. And she would be forever grateful.

"Yes Sheldon. I think it was" she grinned.

Sheldon looked at Amy. She must have removed her glasses at some point in their lust-filled haste to join together. As Sheldon stared into her beautiful green eyes, his own eyes felt teary and he was overcome with love and trust for this amazing women before him. He silently thanked whomever could hear him "up there" that she never gave up on him despite his stubborn and foolish ways.

"Well, then I suggest we fight more often" he said.

"Sheldon!" Amy exclaimed as she started to remove herself from his lap.

Sheldon stopped her and held her in place.

"No, I do not mean about anything important. Just the little stuff. So we can "make-up" again" he grinned.

"Okay, Sheldon. Now let me go" Amy said trying to move again.

"Nope sorry" he said. "No can do" he smirked and held her tighter.

"Sheldon!" Amy said frustrated.

"Is this a fight?" he asked. "I think it is. I apologize. Let's make up" he said and kissed her.

Amy giggled and kissed him back. "Okay, I forgive you but seriously let me up and we'll go "make up" some more at home."

Sheldon relented and he and Amy put themselves back together again.

"I wonder where everyone is at?" asked Amy as she noticed how quiet it had been.

"Beats me" said Sheldon as he finished buckling his belt. "Let's go" he said as he grabbed Amy's hand and headed towards the door.

Amy shuffled behind him putting on her glasses "Sheldon, I didn't drive."

"We'll call a ride" he answered.

"We should at least say good-bye and thank our friends" she said.

"Good-bye!" Sheldon yelled. "And thank you!" and out the door they went smiling from ear-to-ear and hand-in-hand.


"You're welcome" Penny said quietly from her post behind the dining room door next to the living room.

Penny had been unanimously voted by the group to go back inside (after they finally turned the monitor back on and found it was quiet) to be the lookout for the operation to see if the coast was clear.

Well, it look's like Bernadette got her wish about them making a happy memory in her living room, Penny thought smiling.

"Long live the Shamy!" she yelled as she went out the back door to give the all clear.
