A/N: Thank you so much to all my reviewers and followers and favorites. I so appreciate getting the notifications. And if I haven't thanked you personally I apologize. I try and answer as soon as I get one but life sometimes gets in the way. I also want to apologize for the swiftness in which this story is coming to you. I am currently working on 3(I must be nuts) multi chapter stories and I am rotating the order in which I write them. So this was third this week. I will try and get these chapters out every two weeks or so but I won't promise anything.

So anyway on with the story. So if you remember from When Sheldon met Amy, Amy had an important decision to make regarding her half siblings well she is going to make it in this chapter plus she has to make amends with her mother who doesn't trust her father or Sheldon.

I don't own these characters:

Amy had made an important decision, one that hadn't taken as much thought as she would have imagined but it was her decision alone. Sheldon had said he would support her no matter what but she still felt as though she should get the opinions of the girls as well. She decided to bring it up the night they were opening the gifts from Howard and Bernadette's wedding.

"And the next wedding gift is a gravy boat." Bernadette said, holding it up.

"Ooh, one gravy boat." Penny said.

"That's from Sheldon. He told me he had it engraved." Amy pointed out.

"In the event of a divorce, please return to Sheldon Cooper." Bernadette read the bottom of the gravy boat.

"Does it really say that?" Amy was mortified. Sheldon often said things that were inappropriate things but it had gotten much better lately. Bernadette showed her the item and sure enough there it was. "I am so sorry, I would have made him take that off." She told her.

"Don't worry about it. My dad has said way more inappropriate things about my marriage to Howard." Bernadette assured her.

"I wish I thought of that." Penny laughed. "But Sheldon can always outdo anyone, even in wedding presents. Did you know he gave Howard $10 when he got his groomsmen gift?" Penny asked Amy.

"Why would he do that?" Amy asked her.

"Well apparently Howard got them some really nice comic book worth about $100 and…"

"Sheldon's gift cost him $88, plus the card." Amy finished.

"How did you know that?" Penny asked.

"Well I was there when he bought it but I had no idea what he wrote on the bottom of it. He just told me he was going to call them and have it engraved. I thought that was a lovely idea. He did it after he bought it." Amy told them.

"So why exactly did he give him $10?" Bernadette asked.

"Well he feels the need to always get something of the same value that the person bought him otherwise he feels that he is in debt to that person. You should have seen when I threw Leonard his birthday party the first year I moved in. Then there was the Christmas gifts I got the second Christmas in the building. He was ready to kill me when I told him I got him a gift."

"What did you get him?" Bernadette asked. Amy already knew the answer as Sheldon had shown it to her.

"Oh a napkin signed by Leonard Nimoy." Penny answered her. "You should have seen what I ended up with."

"What?" Bernadette asked.

"About ten gift baskets from Bath and Body Works."

"Why so many?"

"Well Leonard told me the story months later. He was going to fake being sick and look up how much the gift I bought was worth and then bring out the basket that was closet in price."

"He didn't?" Amy asked.

"Yes he did." Penny laughed. "Well when he saw my gift, he knew it was priceless so he gave me every basket he bought. I think I still have some of the lotion in my bathroom."

"That is crazy." Bernadette said.

"Well that is Sheldon." Penny laughed. Amy and Bernadette laughed with her. "What's next?" She asked as Bernadette reached for anther gift. It turned out to be a clock from Howard's great aunt.

"Well this will be re-gifted." Bernadette laughed.

"When I get married I'm going to register at the UCLA Cadaver Lab." Amy commented.

"Ew, why?" Penny asked.

"Because I've always wanted a whole human skeleton and they are really spendy." Amy answered.

"So, do you actually think Sheldon and you will get married?" Bernadette asked.

"They were discussing it on the way to your wedding. I see it sooner rather than later." Penny answered Bernadette's question.

"Really? Has he asked?" Bernadette questioned.

"Don't you think if he asked I would have told you?" Amy said to them.

"I guess." Bernadette answered. "So when do you think he will ask?"

"I think it is going to be soon." Penny answered again.

"Why do you think that?" Amy asked.

"Because he has been real secretive lately and I heard him on the phone the other day making dinner reservations."

"Well our anniversary is on the 24th so we are going out for dinner plus we are going to San Francisco the following weekend." Amy answered.

"San Francisco? How come I didn't know about that?" Penny screamed. "That would be the perfect place for him to pop the question."

"I am not getting my hopes up." Amy told them.

"Oh sweetie, Sheldon is madly in love with you. He is going to ask." Penny said.

"Oh I know but if I think that it is going to happen and it doesn't I will get disappointed so I am trying not to think is this the moment?" Amy told them.

"Makes sense." Bernadette said. "What about you, Penny?"

"What about me what?" Penny asked. She was not sure how she became the focus of the conversation.

"Do you think you and Leonard might ever get married?" Bernadette asked.

"Oh, well, you know, Leonard is great." Penny answered. She knew she loved Leonard but since getting back together things had become a bit stale. She still loved him dearly and couldn't think about breaking up with him again. She just needed to bring the passion back into her romance. She wanted to be like her friends and their relationships.

"But do you think you'll ever get married?" Bernadette asked again.

"Honestly I don't know." Penny answered.

"Do you love him?" Amy asked. Of course she had known she told him but did she really love him or the idea of him.

"Yeah, sure, of course I love him." Penny responded.

"Are you sure because it doesn't sound like it." Bernadette said to her.

"I know. It's just I have been in love before and this feels so much different. It's like a new kind of love. I can't wait to see him but then it feels we do nothing new. I want things to be exciting like they were the last time we dated."

"I think in relationships you get back what you put into them." Bernadette told her.

"I guess I could probably try a little harder." Penny commented. She was always letting him do things for him but never really did anything for him.

"You could start by taking an interest in his work." Bernadette told her.

"Yeah, that's kind of a problem." Penny said.

"Why?" Amy asked.

"I'm not really clear on what he does." She answered.

"He's an experimental physicist." Bernadette started.

"Yeah, I'm not really clear on what that means." Penny explained.

"He takes hypotheses and designs protocols to determine their accuracy." Amy tried to tell her. She could tell by the look in Penny's eyes she had no idea what she was saying.

"Yeah, you're really just making it worse." Penny laughed. "Maybe I will go and visit him in his lab and he can explain what he does."

"That sounds like a great idea." Amy said. "Speaking of visits, I think I am going to go visit my father's family."

"Really? Are you sure that is a good idea?" Penny asked.

"I think it is a great idea. She needs to get to know her father." Bernadette said.

"But he was an abusive asshole." Penny tried. She really didn't think it was a great idea for Amy to see this guy or his family.

"Was being the word." Bernadette said. "Maybe he has really changed. She will only know if she goes to visit him and get to know him. Her mother kept him from her for almost 30 years. How is that fair to Amy?"

"She was protecting her! I could not imagine not protecting my child." Penny said to them.

"Oh believe me I get it." Amy said. "I never said I was angry with my mother. I mean I was at first when I found out she lied to me but I got it. I am still a bit angry that she lied last week when she said she hadn't seen him since leaving. She did and he only wanted a glimpse of me, which he got, but she wouldn't have allowed it. I don't know if he is a good guy or not but she could have let me meet him. I don't even remember that day so it is not like she had to tell me who he was. I probably wouldn't have remembered anyway."

"But Amy what if he is still abusive?" Penny asked.

"Well I think I will take Sheldon with me. I won't go alone." Amy said.

"Will he go?" Bernadette asked.

"He told me he would support me 100% in whatever I decided. I think he would want to go with me for the very reasons Penny has pointed out. We need to know if he is telling the truth about changing. I want to believe him because I think if he had wanted to he could have done something to me when he first met me." Amy said.

"Oh well then, I say good luck." Bernadette said.

"I am still unsure but if Sheldon goes then I will feel better." Penny said.

"Thank you for caring." Amy told her.

"You are my best friend, of course I care." Penny said.

The girls finished opening gifts and then Penny and Amy left to go to the movies with the guys. They asked if Bernadette wanted to join them since Raj would be there alone but she said she had dinner plans with Mrs. Wolowitz and then she was going to talk to Howard afterwards.

Amy decided to talk to Sheldon about her decision after the movies since it seemed he was in a foul mood after finding out that Stuart was going to be joining them without his knowledge.

"Sheldon, Raj does not need your permission to invite Stuart to the movies. I actually thought Hannah was going to be joining us so I don't understand what the big deal is." Amy told him.

"Well Hannah is apparently away this weekend." Sheldon said. "So Raj took it upon himself to invite Stuart."

"Well if you expected him to have Hannah why is this such a problem?" Amy asked again.

"I don't know anything about Stuart except that he once hit on you." Sheldon said. "I don't like that."

"Really Sheldon? That is your problem with Stuart coming along?" Penny asked from the front seat.

"Yes. What if he hits on Amy again?" Sheldon asked.

"Sheldon, Stuart knows I am with you. I would have made that perfectly clear that first night but you got all jealous and mean. But we have talked and he knows that it never would have happened even if I wasn't with you."

"When did you talk?" Sheldon asked.

"When I went to the comic book store around the time of your birthday." Amy told him.

"Why did you go there?" Sheldon asked.

"How do you think I got you your present?" Amy asked. "Did you think it magically appeared in my apartment?" She laughed.

"I guess I hadn't thought about it that hard." Sheldon said. "I guess that makes sense that you had to go to the store. But next time just tell me you are going and I will go with you. Those guys in there can be a real handful."

"It was actually kind of flattering having all those guys looking at me." Amy smiled. Penny laughed. She had gone with Amy that day and remembered the looks on the guys' faces when they walked in alone.

"Amy!" Sheldon half yelled, half laughed. He knew he had nothing to worry about with her but he didn't like hearing about all the men that were ogling his girlfriend.

"Oh relax Sheldon, they were looking at both of us." Penny said.

"You went too?" Leonard questioned.

"Of course. I couldn't let Amy go in there by herself. She wouldn't have gotten out alive." Penny laughed. The whole car started laughing then the conversation turned to the movie they were going to see and deciding where to eat afterwards.

Sheldon was happier after the movie and dinner. He said it hadn't been too bad having Stuart there and it was actually pretty nice because the last time they had gone to the movies, Raj had talked through half of it before Sheldon made him move to the other side of the row. This time he talked Stuart's ear off making comments about the movie. Sheldon was relieved. When they arrived home, Amy thought it was the perfect time to bring up her decision.

"So Sheldon, I wanted to talk to you about something important." She said to him as he was in the kitchen busying himself making tea.

"Uh oh that doesn't sound good." Sheldon said.

"Oh it's nothing bad, I just have made a decision about Seibert." She told him.

"That's a relief! I was beginning to think I did something wrong." He was relieved.

"Never." She smiled at him. "I just have decided I want to meet my siblings."

"Oh okay. Are you sure you want to?" Sheldon asked her.

"Yes. I have thought long and hard about this decision and I think I owe him a chance."

"I have to say I agree with you. I mean over the years he has given me grief but he has never shown any anger issues or violence towards anyone. What do you think your mother will say?"

"I don't know if I will tell her until after I meet them." Amy said to him. "I mean she kept the secret for so long that my dad was not my biological father I don't think me keeping this secret for a few weeks will hurt her."

"Are you sure you want to do that? I think not telling your mom up front that you plan on meeting his family will strain your relationship even more. I have seen what her keeping the biggest secret of your life from you has done to you. Do you really want to punish her?"

"I suppose you are right. I should tell her. I could call her now. I haven't spoken with her since she told me everything and I hung up on her."

"That is a good idea. Why don't I give you some privacy? If you need me I will be in our room." Sheldon told her. He gave her a kiss and walked down the hallway to the room.

"I can do this." Amy breathed out loud to herself. She had never felt nervous talking to her mother. They had a great relationship. It only recently became strained. She wished she had asked Sheldon to stay with her but he was right she needed to do this alone. She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed the number. She realized the mistake she made as soon as he answered the phone. She had been talking all night about him and then instead of her mother she called Seibert.

"Hello?" He said again in the phone. Amy was stumped. She didn't know why she had called but she knew she needed to say something.

"Hi President Seibert it is Amy." She said formally to the man she knew now was her father.

"Amy you don't need to be so formal with me. If you want you can call me Joe. That is what my friends call me." He said to her. "So what do I owe the pleasure of this phone call this evening?"

"Well I was thinking and I thought I would like to come and meet my siblings." Amy told him.

"Really?" Seibert said to her. "That is wonderful. They will be pleasantly surprised you decided to come. I told them the truth and how you would think about meeting them."

"So how is Friday or Saturday for you?" Amy asked. "Oh and I would like to bring Sheldon as well."

"Of course. Your boyfriend is always welcome here as well. Saturday would be better. Jackie has a softball game Friday night."

"Saturday it is then. What time would be good for you?" She asked.

"How about you guys come over for dinner? Let's say around 6. I will let my wife know we are going to have company. I am sure she will be happy to meet you as well."

"Okay then, goodnight." Amy said.

"Goodnight Amy."

After she hung up with Seibert she made sure she dialed the correct number. Her mother answered on the first ring.

"Amy I am so glad you called. I really hope you took my advice and…." Sandy Fowler started with her daughter but Amy cut her off.

"And what mom? Quit my job? Break up with Sheldon? What is it exactly you want me to do?" Amy was already angry and she knew this conversation was going in the wrong direction.

"All of the above." Sandy answered immediately.

"Okay mom. I was going to try and mend fences here but apparently you are too stubborn to listen. You asked me to talk to Sheldon. I did. He had nothing to do with Joe at all."

"So now it is Joe?" Sandy cut her off.

"I could call him dad, would that make you happy?" Amy asked sarcastically. Sheldon had come out in the living room when he heard Amy's voice raise.

"Give me the phone." Sheldon whispered to her. Sandy heard this and got angry again.

"You are still living with him?" She screamed into the phone. "Amy let me talk to him now!"

Sheldon could hear her screaming and held out his hand for the phone. He wasn't expecting a pleasant conversation with Mrs. Fowler but he could handle it.

"Hello Mrs. Fowler" he said into the phone. "How are you today?"

"I will tell you how I am Sheldon. I am angry. I don't know how you fooled my daughter into believing you but I know better. A mother knows these things. I know you are lying to her when you tell her you didn't know who my ex-husband was. And when she realizes the truth, she will be begging me to forgive her." Sandy said to him. "And I am not sure I will."

"Well that is unfortunate Mrs. Fowler. I can assure you that I have had to do no fooling of anyone. I had no idea my boss was Amy's father. And I honestly don't care if you believe me or not. What matters to me is Amy's wellbeing and fighting with you has made her upset. I don't like when Amy is upset. She made the effort to call you even though she told you to call when you were ready to apologize. I can see now why she was so reluctant."

"Are you blaming me for her being upset? What about you and that crazy boss of yours. You don't think she may be upset because of that?" Sandy said.

"Yes actually she is upset about our boss. She has been thinking a lot recently and even considered quitting and going back to UCLA but that lasted for about a minute because she knows what a great opportunity she has at Caltech. President Seibert told her he would not be pressuring her in any regards to being her father. He let the decision be hers."

"He is a liar!" Sandy said. "He says all kind of things to persuade people to do things. And this one takes the cake. He got a man to be interested in her in order to get close. Tell me this Sheldon how much extra is in your paychecks these days?"

"Okay now this is where I will leave the conversation because you have not only insulted me, which believe me I don't care, but you have also insulted Amy. Do you really think that poorly of your daughter that she can't find someone who genuinely loves her? You really think someone had to be paid to show interest in her? That is just asinine!"

Amy looked at him and wondered what her mother had said to make Sheldon react the way he was acting.

"Amy is the most loving and caring person I have ever met. She knew what she wanted out of a relationship and she wasn't afraid to tell me. It is what first attracted me to her. She didn't want what we have, she wanted a friendship first. And that is what we did. We got to know each other then we gradually fell in love." Amy looked at him with such love at that moment that she didn't even care if her mother believed him or not. "She didn't need me and she still doesn't. She wants this now and so do I. I can't wait to make Amy my wife in the near future and start a family with her. If you can't accept that then you will miss out on so much of her life. And you will miss out on grandchildren, something I know my mom would hate."

Sandy was moved. She had never heard anyone defend her daughter the way Sheldon just had to her. She remembered him saying the same things to Nick a few weeks earlier and how impressed she was. And now here she was accusing him of the same thing Nick was accusing him of, being a paid boyfriend. There was no doubt in her mind now that Sheldon had nothing to do with this. She realized she almost lost her daughter to her own fears and she began to cry.

"I am so sorry." Mrs. Fowler cried. "I just was so scared that Sam had wormed his way into her life through you."

"I understand why you would believe that but why wouldn't you believe your daughter?" Sheldon asked her.

"Well she has always had a trusting soul."

"That we can agree upon. Amy is very trusting but that is because she can also read people. I wish I had the ability to know what people are thinking and feeling. She has that gift. And she trusts me." Sheldon told her. Amy took the phone from him and put it on speaker.

"It's true mom. He isn't lying. I would know. I told you that already. If Sheldon was working with President Seibert then I would have known. He would never have been able to keep that from me. Please say you believe me." Amy pleaded with her mother. She didn't want to be fighting anymore.

"I believe you and I believe Sheldon. No man or woman has ever defended you to me the way he just did. You have yourself a keeper, Amy. Don't let him go." Sandy told her daughter.

"I don't plan on it." Amy said. She took Sheldon's hand. "Now that we have this settled is I wanted to tell you that I do plan on trying to get to know President Seibert better. I am going to his place with Sheldon on Saturday. Now before you say anything negative I want you to know that I am still not sure I trust him fully but I think he deserves a chance." She informed her.

"Okay Amy I am going to trust your decision on this one. I truly believe Sheldon will be able to help if things go wrong. I just want what is best for you."

"So do I Mrs. Fowler." Sheldon told her. "I will make sure President Seibert doesn't hurt her again."

"I trust you Sheldon." Sandy said to him.

"Thank you mom." Amy said. "I will call you on Sunday and let you know how it went."

"Okay I look forward to hearing from you. Please be careful."

"I will mom." She said. "I love you."

"I love you too dear. Talk to you on Sunday." She hung up the phone feeling much better than she did a week prior about her daughter's relationship.

"Thank you." Amy said after hanging up with her mother.

"For what?" Sheldon asked confused.

"For being the best boyfriend in the world."

"Oh well that." Sheldon laughed.

"No I mean it. My mother was right, no one has ever defended me the way you have. I can't believe you are in my life."

"Well I am not going anywhere."

"Good." She said. She leaned over and kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you too." Sheldon told her. "Now let's get to bed so I can show you just how much."

The two went back to their bedroom for the night. Amy knew she had met her prince and Sheldon felt exactly the same way. In a few weeks he was going to make sure that his princess would become his queen.

Okay so I wanted Amy and her mother to get along since they were in the first story until she found out about Seibert. And for those of you who are not sure what this was all about you may want to read When Sheldon met Amy for the back story.

I love blending different seasons together so I hope you don't mind either.

Hey if you liked this could you do me the favor of leaving a review. Thanks so much!
