Last chapter. Thank you all for reading and thanks to the people who comment. You make my days. I hope you like it :)
It had been a few weeks since Amy came back from New Jersey and many people seemed interested in working with her, not only her colleagues, but also people from other fields such as Bert or Kripke. Some of the projects seemed very interesting, but she was busy with her own projects and also with the project that she and Sheldon had been working on, so she had to reject them all.
At that time she was finishing brushing her teeth while Sheldon was sitting on the bed playing a game online with the boys. A couple of minutes later she came out of the bathroom, grabbed her cell phone to see if she had a message while lying on the bed.
-Good night, -she said after a while of being on the cell phone and laying on her side to sleep.
-Are you going to sleep now?-he asks without taking my eyes off the game.
- It's already late and tomorrow we have to work. You should do the same.
-It is still early.
-Sheldon, it's almost midnight.
-What? -He looked surprised at his watch and meanwhile someone killed his character- Great- he leaves the Tablet on the table next to the bed, a second later he turned to see his fiancée- Amy?
-What?- She asked without opening her eyes.
-You can not sleep yet.
-It's almost midnight and tomorrow ... -she was silent when she feel Sheldon's lips on her neck and one of his hands playing with her breasts.
-We have a routine every night that must be fulfilled -he reminded her as he kissed her neck.
-You're right.- She turned around and kissed Sheldon on the lips. They stayed like that for a while, kissing and caressing each other on the clothes until she broke up the kiss somewhat agitated. -It's not weekend yet.
-I was thinking we could arrive a little late tomorrow.
-You know I have to advance my research so that later you and I can work on our project -she said and saw Sheldon frown -What's wrong?
-Yes, about that...
-Tell me.
-We will not be able to work for a time on our project.
-Why not?- Now it was she who was frowning.
-I ... I'm going to start working on another project.
-About what?
-I can't tell you.
-In Caltech? - He shook his head- So where?
-I can't tell you.
- This has to do with the military project that you and the guys were working with?
-No!- He said without wanting to look at her.
-I don't believe you- moved away from him a little.
-Amy, please. I wish I could tell you everything but I shouldn't- he caress her cheek- Don't get mad at me.
-Okay,- she sighed, -but I think you could have told me before.
-I knew you would be upset about what I had planned to tell you after having coitus-admitted blushing.
-Look at yourself using coitus to get what you want,- she said with a smile.
- So ... aren't you upset?
-No Sheldon.
-It's good to know that with kissing I can also prevent you from bothering -said the smiling.
-Or don't hide anything to me , the next time you hide something, you'll have to be very creative in bed to avoid me being upset.
-Well, in fact I already have a couple of ideas about ...
- And when I say "creative in bed" I mean having coitus, not Star Wars marathons or anything like that.
-Oh well. I'll have to think something.
Days later Amy was writing on one of the blackboards they had in the apartment when the door opened and Sheldon entered.
-What are you working on?- Sheldon asked when he saw the formulas on the board.
-Hello, babe-she walked to where her fiancé was and kissed him on the lips- You arrive early.
- I thought to continue working a couple of hours more but they sent me home.
-Everything good?
-Yeah, it's just that ... -he was silent.
-I know, you can't tell me- she smile-it's okay. I'm glad you're back.
-Yes and taking advantage of my arrival early we could...
-Amy, Leonard says he can help us with ... -Kripke stopped to see Sheldon who had immediately frowned-Hi Cooper.
- What the hell are you doing in my house Kripke?
-Amy and I are working on a project together-Sheldon opened his mouth and looked at his fiancée surprised.
-Why didn't you tell me?
-I told you, but you were so excited about the new comic that Howard bought that apparently you did not hear me.
-Yeah, well ... -he look at Kripke still upset -Don't tell me things in the comic's night! And anyway, why is he here?
-I told you Cooper would be upset -he said to Amy- And I love it!
-I'll send you a message telling you that leaving Caltech we would be working here because it would take us until late
-I didn't receive any messages.- He took out his cell phone to show Amy but realized the cell phone was off.
-I think you owe me an apology-Amy crossed her arms.
-I'm not going to apologize because you ...
-Barry, you'd better go, this -she pointed to Sheldon and herself-It's going to take a while.
-We'll see you tomorrow, Amy -he kissed her on the cheek which annoyed Sheldon even more- Goodbye Cooper.
-Why are you working with Kripke?- he asks once Barry left the apartment. -You know what I think of him.
-Well, after you told me to stop our project, I had some free time and decided to accept one of the invitations to other projects.
-But you could choose any other project that did not involve someone who hates me.
-Barry doesn't hate you.
-And besides, you were alone with him in our apartment at night.
- We were just working
-Well, it doesn't seem right.
- But if it seemed appropriate to bring Ramona to our apartment at night?
-Is different.
-How?
-Well ... because ... -Sheldon opened his mouth without knowing what to say- She only came to see the letters that Peter Higgs sent me.
-And Barry just came to work on our project- she stroked his arm- Sheldon, I love you. But you're exaggerating ... more than usual.
-Maybe- he made a grimace with his lips -But I don't like the idea of you being alone in our house with a man who in the past expressed interest in you.
-You said it, in the past-she take him by the hand to sit on the sofa- But since we are together again he hasn't tried anything with me. Can you accept Barry coming to work here or will you need Nurse Chapel to convince you? -She said, stroking his leg suggestively.
-I trust you, so ...- Sheldon sighed. -I can accept Kripke coming.
-Thank you-he kissed her on the cheek.
-But I still need a visit from Nurse Chapel.
-Whatever Captain Kirk orders,- she said with a smile but Sheldon frowned.
-Amy already told you the nurse Chapel is not Captain Kirk's girlfriend, is ... -Amy interrupted what he was saying with a kiss- Okay, we can talk about this later -he answered while his fiancée took him to the room.
-Hi Amy,- Stuart greeted when he opened the door of Howard's house.
-Hi,- she smiled. -I came to visit Bernadette.
-She felt a little bad and fell asleep a while ago.
-Any problem with the baby? -Asked worried.
-Indeed with Halley. She kept us awake all night.
-Oh I understand. It's normal that Bernie is sleeping.
-Yes.
-Well, I came here. So, if it doesn't bother you, I'll wait for her to wake up.
-Not at all,- said Stuart, walking toward the living room. -Do you want something to drink?
-A glass of water please,- she sat on the couch while Stuart went to the kitchen. She had just pulled out her phone when she heard Halley cry over the monitor. She stood up and went up to see the baby so that the cry wouldn't wake her mother.
-Here's the ...- Stuart looked for Amy but he didn't see her anywhere. He guesses she would have gone to the bathroom so he leaves the water on the table and sat down.
-What's going on little one? -Said Amy in a whisper to see the baby who was still crying so she took her in her arms and began to cooing-Do you need that Aunt Amy change you? -she checked the diaper and saw that it was clean- Or are you hungry? "she looked around the room for a bottle but found nothing.
-Oh, there you were.- Stuart smiled when he saw Amy come down with Halley in her arms.
-Could you give me a bottle? I think she's hungry.
-Of course- he went quickly to the kitchen and when he returned Amy was sitting playing with the hand of the baby who was now laughing.
-I think she likes me -said Amy smiling after she feed her.
-It seems so.
A while later Halley was sitting on Amy's legs playing a stuffed toy while Stuart and Amy chatted animatedly so none of them noticed when Howard and Sheldon came into the house.
-So you wanted to come to my house because Amy is here.
-Obviously,- he said, frowning when he saw Stuart leaning his arm on the sofa behind Amy's shoulders.
-You realize that if you had not asked Amy to be your girlfriend while she was in the cine with Stuart maybe she would have fallen in love with him and maybe they would have a baby that was older or same age than Halley-Howard smiled because he knew that that would bother his friend.
-That's absolutely ridiculous!- He said louder than he thought so Stuart and Amy noticed his presence.
-Hello Sheldon-Amy smiled at her fiancé.
-Hello,- he said without taking his eyes off her and the baby on her legs.
-Are you okay?
-He's jealous,- replied Howard, laughing.
-Don't listen to Wolowitz- Sheldon glared bother at his friend. -Can we leave?
-But I have not seen Bernadette yet.
-Please,- Sheldon asked.
-Okay- She gives the baby to Howard-I guess I'll come tomorrow.
-Why are you so quiet?- Amy asked when they got to the apartment. -You haven't said anything since we left Howard's house.
-I just was thinking.
-In what?
- Have you ever regretted being in a relationship with me?
-Of course not-Amy looked at her fiancé without understanding why he suddenly asked her that- What makes you think that I regretted?
-When we got to Howard's house, you were talking to Stuart and you had the baby on your legs, you looked very happy and Howard made me think that this is the life you could have if you had continued dating Stuart.
-That's why Howard said you were jealous, right?- Sheldon nodded. -You have no reason to be jealous, I love Stuart but I've always seen him as a friend.
-And then why did you go out with him?
-Because I secretly expected you to feel jealous and do something to prevent me from going out with him-she admitted smiling as she looked at the ring in her hand- and I'm glad my plan worked.
-You are brilliant Dr. Fowler.
-I know- she said before kissing him- And just to make it clear to you, you are the only man that I have ever loved and will always love.
-And you're the only woman I've ever loved and I will always love.
