Epilogue

Well, my little fan fic-keteers, here's the epilogue I promised you.

Spoilers... One more to go!

One Last thank you to ShAmy4ver. When I say this story would be NOTHING without her, I mean it. She is the co-author and just the best person ever. I am lucky to work with her. If you liked ANY of the Six Sheldon Saga, you have her to thank. For sure.

Amy chewed her lip as she dialed her doctor's office that Friday afternoon. She had hoped to catch the doctor during her late lunch hour, but it was always difficult to reach Dr. Blair. Her head was still swimming from the morning's events and the spin Sheldon had given her when she had said yes to his unexpected proposal.

She had just been expecting to reconcile after their discussion, not receive such a heartfelt offer of marriage. She couldn't believe that she had said yes so readily, but given how she felt about him, she knew that the only conclusion to that question was 'Yes' as she almost tackled him on the floor and peppered his face with kisses, following which he had picked her up and spun her like a top. She had never seen him so happy, so utterly ecstatic as if he had finally solved all the mysteries of the universe, or even better, had found a missing piece of a long unsolved puzzle.

After the unforeseen proposal, and the parade to every department so that Sheldon could proudly show everyone that he was engaged, Amy had finally managed to make her way back to her lab, though her mind wasn't on work. The night before, Amy had promised Sheldon that she would look into the medical condition that the other Amy's had, and Amy had to admit that despite her initial doubts, she was cautiously optimistic.

She had a narrow window scheduled for her surgery and Amy knew that if she postponed it, she would have to reschedule. But at this moment, she was more than willing to delay the surgery. Sheldon's story had given her a glimmer of hope. Though it may not result in her being able to have children, perhaps she would be able to avoid the surgery. The twinkling ring on finger distracted her as the doctor's office picked up. "Hello?"

"Oh, yes, forgive me. I am Amy Farrah Fowler. I was calling to speak with…"

"Ahhh yes, Ms. Fowler."

Amy rolled her eyes, "Dr. Fowler."

"Yes right…Amy. We have you scheduled for next week. Now, please show up at least 45 minutes ahead for a scan…"

Amy tried to interrupt the lady on the other so that she could explain, "No wait, I wanted to know if I could see Doctor Blair before I go in…"

"Oh… hold on… Nope… No… wait… Okay… I got an appointment for August 8th."

Amy gasped, "August, but I was hoping to see him before the surgery."

"Oh we have nothing till then. But if you want, you can reschedule the surgery till let me see… August 21st."

Amy thought about it for a few seconds. Finally she said with a slight smile, "August it is!"

She called Sheldon immediately, who answered on the first ring, not letting her say a word before he started, "What'd they say? What'd they say? Are you okay? I went ahead and got the time off so I can take care of ya Amy. You don't need Gladys. Just say the word."

Amy had to stifle a laugh at Sheldon's enthusiasm, "Good… How's August sound?"

"Really, you okay with putting it off?" Sheldon let out a sigh of relief.

Without a moment of hesitation, Amy answered, "Yes. Now, about your Texas idea…."

August 8th:

Amy paced up and down as she waited for the doctor to return. She was playing with the ring on her finger when she wasn't trying to adjust the hospital gown that was gaping open behind her. Sheldon stood watch, just to make sure that no one would walk in on her with her appealing posterior showing; not even that male nurse who had had the nerve to ask Amy if she was single.

"Couldn't he see the ring on your finger!? It's as big as a boulder, for Christ sake!" Sheldon growled at the closed door that the flirty male nurse had left not more than 30 minutes ago.

Amy let out sigh, "Sheldon, he was just asking because if you were a relative, he didn't need that form for you to sign."

Sheldon snorted, "Even if we weren't married, which we CLEARLY we are, he had no business asking if you were single! I didn't like how he was eyein' you."

"Oh Sheldon, don't worry since we are married, you didn't need to sign anything."

Sheldon beamed with pride, "Another reason our quick wedding was a good idea. And you said that we might be rushing things! Bull sh… I mean…Pishsha!" Sheldon smiled as he caught the bad words in his mouth before they could escape. Lately, his cursing had been significantly reduced, he had even started chastising the others if they used bad language. Their quick trip to Texas fueled his accent and twang but over a month later, it was also fading; like the memories of his former lonely life.

In an effort to change the subject, Amy stated "Well… Did you know that up until the 1970's a woman still needed consent from her husband to get a voluntary sterilization?"

Sheldon scoffed, "Like I could ever tell you what to do. It was an uphill battle to get you to agree to getting married at the bay in Galveston, never mind tellin' you what to do with your lady parts. Besides, it's your body!" For a month, Sheldon had been worried sick over this medical examination and his worry sometimes came out as anger. But he had to watch his tone with his new wife. More than once she had told him he that he was fussing too much, and if he didn't tone it down she wasn't going to let him come with her. Sheldon took a deep breath, and just gave a smile akin to the grin he had when he watch the koalas.

This initial visit with the doctor in his office had been tense from the start. Sheldon's constant interruptions and 'advice' earlier had almost resulted in the doctor having him removed, and the waiting now was not improving his mood. However Sheldon softened his tone as he noticed Amy holding her arms over her stomach, "How are you um…. Feeling? Still a little sick to your stomach? Didn't you throw up this mornin'?"

"No…that was yesterday. Don't worry, it comes and goes. It's just nerves, I'll be fine. I really want to know about this scan, though." She rubbed the spot on her arm where they had taken a blood sample.

Amy scrunched her face up and sat on the bed as she tapped her watch to see if it was still running. It had been over 45 minutes since she had walked into the hospital room. Her examination should have started by now, but after wearing out a trench in the floor, it seemed she still had to wait.

Sheldon was getting more anxious by the minute, and it was now his turn to pace up and down. "Well I hope they give back that urine sample and blood tests."

Amy looked bilious at the thought, "Gross! Why would you want those back!?"

"I don't like your DNA roaming all over the place! Do you realize how rare it is to find a person with an IQ as high as yours who can still dance?"

Amy nudged him, "Well, there are two in this room right now, so not so rare."

"You're better at statistics than that Mrs. Fowler-Cooper." Sheldon shook his head, "We are a rare breed, sweet wife, and have to be diligent! They will be after me next." Sheldon glared at the door. He absolutely hated doctors. He hated hospitals and he hated medical tests, especially those involving his beautiful wife.

Sheldon's paranoia was now increasing by the second, "I know their kind! Who knows what robot clones these quacks will think up! Besides, I don't know why they needed a second sample! I almost asked that lecherous male nurse if his name was Vlad!"

Amy tapped the bed and made Sheldon sit next to her to stop his pacing and 'fussin'', as he would say. He tromped over to the bed and slumped down, making one more adjustment to Amy's robe.

It had been six weeks since she had said yes to his proposal and their lightning fast Texas trip. Amy was actually relived that she had postponed her surgery, as she had been feeling better, and was even wondering whether to go ahead with her appointment on the 28th.

Texas had been a whirlwind trip and over far too quickly for both of them. Sheldon had taken Amy to his favorite restaurant: A little café near his PopPop's old church. Sheldon had also showed her old pictures of the family. Amy was particularly interested in seeing the pictures of Mary Cooper. She looked like a strong woman who always had a glowing smile for her special boy. It was the first time that Sheldon had felt strong enough to go through the things he had saved following her death and they found old videos, and even Mary's diary which had proved to be pretty saucy reading, considering.

Amy had been immediately swept up by Clan Cooper and made to feel welcome. George was in a much better mood since he was no longer sleep deprived and was on his home turf. Missy made Amy shop for all sorts of clothes, most of which she would never be able wear without a least three cardigans. And Meemaw treated her like a queen.

Sheldon had wanted to change his perfect proposal site to a perfect wedding site. But Amy felt it was too soon, and it had taken all the Cooper clan to almost persuade her. However it was only when Sheldon pulled the big guns out and looked at her with his big puppy dog blue eyes that she melted, and agreed that there was no reason to wait. Meemaw was overjoyed and at the behest of Sheldon she contacted Eddy of all people, who rounded up all their friends. And he, Gladys and the whole group flew out to join them. Amy's mother was unhappy that she was having to put a stop to the plans she intended to set in motion when she had spoken to Sheldon on Skype, but was too happy seeing Amy actually marry a living breathing man to complain too much.

Though Meemaw and Amy's mother were pushing for the wedding to take place in a church, Sheldon was not too keen. However he did agree when Amy suggested that Mary would have wanted it that way. The wedding in the old chapel was out of a fairy tale as far as Amy was concerned. The setting was idyllic with dark mahogany beams, flickering candles and the light gleaming through the one stained glass windows above the small altar.

No one felt that it was too soon for the couple to wed, or that they should take their time. It was like watching the last part of movie after reading the spoilers. Everyone knew it was coming, but it was just wonderful to see.

Even Penny was misty eyed at the service and had to be comforted by Leonard. After the wedding, Penny had walked up to the altar and had looked around as if she was sizing up the place. The crowd had started to head toward the dining hall and Penny could already hear the hoots and hollers of Cooper clan drowning out anyone else as the newlywed couple entered the room. Penny turned to Leonard, "I can't imagine meeting someone so perfect for you, that you would want to marry within a month of meeting them."

Leonard looked at Penny in her pink chiffon dress and said with a slight smile, "I can."

Penny caught his look, "Well, when we get married, none of this spur of the moment junk. I want a big wedding with all my family there."

Leonard gulped, "WHEN?"

Penny caught herself and said with a nervous giggle, "IF…I meant… but it will be planned out and HUGE!"

Leonard wrapped his arms around her and said with a kiss on her forehead, "As you wish, dear. As big as you want."

By the time Penny and Leonard had made their way to the small dining room, Sheldon and Amy were already having their first dance. They glided across the floor as if they were floating on ice. Leonard needed to go over his speech as Best Man, though he knew he had time. The way the happy couple were looking, he knew that they would be dancing for a while.

The pot luck dinner after the dance was better than anything Raj could have had catered at the last minute, though Penny and Bernadette bemoaned the non-alcoholic selection of sparkling apple cider and both vowed that at their weddings, it would be an open bar.

Finally Leonard stood for the speech placing one hand on Sheldon's shoulder he spoke with a clear voice that echoed throughout the small room. It was only a crowd of about 50, but it felt like a horde to Sheldon who still felt a little unnerved by large groups. He was thankful it was his best friend giving the speech and not him.

"The best man's toast. I'd like to think I was worthy of this honor, but I feel I am not. Sheldon has done more for me than I could ever have done for him. He has helped me with a project that could possible win us both a Nobel. He introduced me to the love of my life, the beautiful woman seated right over there. Yeah… That's my girlfriend." Leonard waved to Penny who gave a nervous wave back. Leonard held up his glass again, "Sheldon gave me and the guys some of the best advice on dating I have ever received and I just wish I could have known him and been a friend…" Leonard gulped and said with a crack in his voice, "Sooner."

He looked at Sheldon and thought of the other Leonards' stories in his Congress of Sheldons. Those alternate best friends who always seemed to give more than they received. Leonard didn't have that with this Sheldon, and much to the confusion of most of his audience he added. "In this universe, when it comes to Sheldon… I get more than I give. I look forward to having a long friendship with him and wish him all the happiness in the world. Congratulations Buddy. Couldn't have happened to a better guy!" Leonard nodded his head to his two companions.

All three guys, Howard, Raj and Leonard pulled out Lightsabers and raised them up to salute the Bride and Groom. Amy glared at Sheldon whose emotions were getting the better of him and was near crying at this point. Shaking her head she just sighed and smiled at how happy he was at that moment.

Sheldon was overwhelmed. He had gained more than just a soulmate in the last month, he had found three close friend. His own crew who in the short time he had known them had always had his back. He smiled one of the rare toothy grins he gave when he couldn't contain his joy. It was as if he had captured the essence of happiness.

Finally as the evening drew to a close and the last of the family shuffled out, the couple and their friends were gathered around one of the round tables talking. Penny and Bernadette had made up after the fight between them over catching the bouquet, having lost the battle to Eddy. They sat there, picking at red velvet cake, thinking how strange it seemed that not more than a month ago, each and every one of them were single. It was as if dating had been put through an accelerator.

Yvette turned to Leonard, and asked, "I'm curious… What advice did Sheldon give you on dating?"

Sheldon's eyes opened to saucer width and he shot Leonard a look dripping with fear hoping that Leonard would not repeat any of the sex advice he had given him. Leonard, luckily, had enough tact to ignore that part of Sheldon's advice and said with a shrug, "Oh, you know… be nice… Get flowers… you know."

"That was Brotastic69's sage advice Leonard; I think you misplaced your praise. Good thing I don't need his wisdom anymore." Sheldon took a large drink of his strawberry Quik and smiled at Amy, but was distracted by Penny chuckling.

"Brotastic? I had old boyfriend who used to call himself that."

Leonard perked up and asked, "Boyfriend? Like serious?'

"GOD NO! He was just a… Well… it didn't last long." Penny looked at her empty glass wishing she had a super power to change water into wine. She added, "What the heck was his name… Let me think… oh Zack! That was his name!"

"ZACK?" Leonard grumbled.

Penny continued her story not seeing Leonard turn a lovely shade of green, "Yeah…dumb as box of bricks. He used to think the Nile was in Egypt!"

Amy said with a confused frown, "It is…"

Penny shifted her eyes from the group, "Well, anyways… he was a terrible boyfriend. The worst!" Penny didn't notice Sheldon's look in horror, but Amy did and asked with a smirk, "Hold on… isn't that the guy who you talked about on our first date? You kept saying, Brotastic said this and Brotastic said that!"

"Yes… well.. there are many Brotastics, Amy. It couldn't possibly be…"

Penny interrupted Sheldon's back pedaling, "I bet he told you Chicks dig nice food and great appeteasers". He invented that word."

Sheldon nearly choked, "I um… don't recall…"

"Sure, Mr. Eidetic memory. Sure." Howard raised his glass, "Well a toast! To Brotastic!"

"TO BROTASIC!" They all raised the glasses except Sheldon who looked horrified.

Back at the doctor's office, Sheldon had had the same look of horror on his face when the male nurse was pulling vial after vial out of Amy's arms. Over an hour had passed since then, and Sheldon was growing impatient.

"I don't think it bodes well that they are so late, Amy."

Before Amy could answer, another nurse entered the room pulling a machine behind her followed by the doctor who couldn't take his head out of Amy's notes to acknowledge the couple or say hello.

Finally he looked up, but he appeared puzzled, as if he had seen one of Sheldon's white board and had been asked to explain it. The paper he held in his hand seemed to be confusing him.

"Ms. Fowler…."

"DR FOWLER-COOPER!"

The doctor nodded, "Right sorry… Amy… We need to do an ultrasound on you."

Sheldon crossed his arms and said with a smug grin, "To check for a growth? I told you that you needed to check for a growth!"

"Yes, Dr. Cooper, you were quite adamant about it. But I thought I had assuaged your fears when I told you that we had found nothing but a small scar when she was scanned three months ago, in preparation for her surgery."

"The only thing assuaged was my faith in the medical profession."

The doctor let out sigh, "Well…whatever you think was there, is gone now Dr. Cooper. I know you're a doctor, but so am I."

Sheldon sneered back, "Yeah, well… I'm a doctor twice, so there."

"Not of gynecology, Dr. Cooper. Now, I need to confirm something, if you don't mind." The doctor waved his hand trying to indicate that Sheldon should move from Amy's side and let him work as Amy smiled apologetically at the doctor.

The nurse turned off the lights and helped Amy settle back in the bed, covering her with sheet.

Amy swallowed and laid her head back on the pillow with Sheldon holding her hand. The doctor pulled up her dressing gown to reveal her stomach, and squirted cold gel on her belly. Amy winced from the touch of the plastic probe being dug into her abdomen.

She held onto Sheldon's hand and asked, "Um.. what was it you needed to confirm."

The doctor looked over his glasses at Amy's belly and then again at monitor as he answered emotionlessly, "You have a hormone issue that doesn't seem to make sense."

"I know… that is why I am here!" Now Amy was starting to get as agitated with the doctor as much as Sheldon had been. "Please clarify, sir."

"You have elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin…"

Amy held onto Sheldon's hand a little tighter, "How… much?"

Sheldon looked over at the monitor to see what all the fuss was about. He saw what looked like a black hole, surrounded by grey space. As the doctor moved the wand, a small growth seemed to come into focus. Sheldon knew it was the tumor that he had heard about from the other Sheldons. He had been right, except it was supposed to be on the fallopian tube and not in the uterus. Sheldon frowned at the image as Amy winced a little in discomfort. He turned toward Amy, stroking her hand and she relaxed.

Sheldon looked back over to the monitor, and saw the doctor focus the scan on one area. A small white spot, that seemed to fill up the black hole. Sheldon thought the tumor had moved to her uterus and closed his eyes for a moment, worried.

Amy repeated her earlier question the doctor had ignored, "What are the levels of HCG?"

The doctor looked back at his chart over his glasses and answered Amy, "About 3200mlU/ml."

"What!?" Before Amy could explain, she heard a sound come over the speaker. It was an echoing, repeating sound, like a warble, but steady. Sheldon looked down to find Amy's lip quivering and then to the monitor. The small white spot was lying on the bottom and did the strangest thing for a tumor: It moved.

The doctor turned the monitor toward Amy and she reached her hand out to touch the screen, "How?"

The doctor hit a button and stopped the scan with the monitor focused on the image. The sound of a printer filled the room as the nurse turned on the lights. Amy blinked at the sudden brightness and it was then that Sheldon looked down to see that she was crying. He looked angrily at the doctor who had a large grin on his face. Ignoring Sheldon, the doctor smiled sweetly at Amy.

"I don't know how given how your hormones were at the test in April… but the scan confirms it. About 8 weeks I'd say…"

"Oh my god." Amy gasped as a smile blossomed on her face.

The doctor asked with a smirk, "I take it the surgery is off, then?" Amy nodded almost convulsively and the doctor nodded to the nurse who went the printer to grab the paper. Amy was speechless as she looked up at Sheldon. All she could do was take his hand and put it on the monitor with hers, together.

The doctor looked back at Sheldon with the same smile, "Congratulations, I would imagine, yes?" The nursed handed Sheldon the printed paper. It was glossy, and the sheen off the page seemed to have a light of its own. Sheldon looked with wonder at the page and focused on the words: "Fetal HR 2 Beat Pk to Pk"

Shocked Sheldon looked at Amy, still unable to absorb the news, "It's not a tumor?"

"No, Sheldon… It's a baby."

Three years later.

Sheldon and Amy were enjoying their first weekend to themselves in over two years. Missy and Jake had come to visit the couple and had insisted on taking little Mary to Disneyland. After much grousing and pleading, Amy had agreed to let the little one go with her Aunt and cousin, though Sheldon almost had to have Mary torn from his arms. Not only was he reluctant to hand his precious daughter over to someone else's care, he also wanted to go to Disneyland to see the Star Wars land. However as Amy had pointed out, they had been there enough times over the last two years. But it was when she added with a certain look and lick of her lips that a quiet evening was just what they needed that Sheldon practically threw the relatives out. A few hours later, Sheldon and Amy had redressed and were enjoying a cup of tea at the kitchen island.

Sheldon heard it first: A crackle and a familiar hum that he was unlikely to ever forget. Amy stood, asking, "Did you start that old modem up again. I told you, there is nothing nostalgic about dial up!"

'No! Wait…hold on to me… I think…" Sheldon stood up and held onto Amy's hand and the two of them felt a jolt. Then a blinding light, like a sudden flash of the sun. They blinked their eyes and saw that they were standing in their living room, only so much less cluttered. There were no toddler toys or toy trains. Only superhero statues, monkey figurines and one large Lego Death Star. However, the strangest sight was the man and woman standing before them near the couch. They too were holding hands, just like Sheldon and Amy and had large grins on both their faces.

"Hello Number Six! Good to see you!" Sheldon Five nodded to Number Six's Amy, "Still a doubting Thomas, Number Six?"

Sheldon Six held onto his wife's hand and let out a sigh. "Not any more…" Unable to hold back his smile he looked down at his own Amy whose jaw had dropped, "Not any more…"

A/N: WHAT THE HECK IS HAZELRA THINKING ENDING IT THERE! I can hear it now! LOL. There is one more chapter to go, but it will be posted on Six Sheldons next week. I hope you don't mind, but the other Sheldons are getting jealous from all the attention Six is getting. Gotta spread that love, ya know?

What did you think of the resolution of Sheldons Six? I'd love to know! Did you expect the baby? How about the fast wedding? A little nod to the Lennys in the end. In this universe, Lennys Wedding is HUGE!

I can't thank you all enough for following and reviewing this story.
