A/N: Thank you once again for all the reviews. If I haven't gotten to personally thank you know that I love each and every one of you.

Okay this chapter will focus on Shamy. One more day until Valentine's Day. A visitor from the past makes an appearance but no angst. And this is not the jealousy part just some fun times and Sheldon sticking up for his woman.

Enjoy!

I don't own it. I wish I did.

Friday was just like every other day for Sheldon. He woke up at 6:30; he took a shower, ate breakfast, and then got ready for work. Except this particular Friday things would be slightly different. He wasn't going in with Leonard like he always did. Today Amy was picking him up and bringing him home. He was used to her bringing him home as that was how they had arranged it since she started working at Caltech. It didn't make sense for her to come all the way over to his apartment every morning since Leonard was going to the same place but after work he wanted to go with her. Working at the same university was not a burden like Howard had suggested but a blessing. He could see her whenever he wanted and lately it seemed they saw each other a lot. He ate lunch with her at least 3 days a week and she drove him home almost every day. Usually they would have dinner with the entire gang at his apartment but every other Thursday was just them. They also had dates every Saturday. This was something Sheldon had insisted upon after he came back from his journey. He knew he had made her angry and when he started making up for all the dates he missed, he realized just how happy he was when he was with her.

Amy arrived at the apartment just as Sheldon was putting on his coat.

"Good morning." She said to him after he opened the door.

"Good morning." He wasn't sure if he should kiss her. He wanted to but did not. "Right on time as always." He said.

"Of course, I can't be late to work either." She said to him.

"Well shall we get going then?" He asked.

"Let me throw this bag in your room." She said indicating the overnight bag she brought with her.

"Just put it on the chair. We can move it later." He said to her.

"Okay." And she put the bag on the chair. "So what are the plans for tonight?" She asked as they walked down the stairs.

"I was thinking we could go to that pub we went to with Leonard and Penny, then maybe we could see a movie."

"The pub sounds nice but I think the movies will be overly crowded tonight, especially with that Fifty Shades movie coming out."

"You don't want to see that do you?" He asked.

"I know that is the kind of movie you would not enjoy. I think if I see it, I may go with the girls. It isn't something for us to see together."

"Why is that?" He asked again

"Sheldon let me explain this in a way that you will understand. I read the book and I am not sure how they were able to make the movie only R rated. It is a very graphic novel. Have you ever read fan fiction?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever read smutty fan fiction?"

"Not on purpose." He answered

"Well let's put it this way, the story makes fan fiction smut seem tame."

"Oh okay." He said. "So no on that movie."

"That's what I said." She said to him.

"Okay well if you are sure. We could always rent a movie."

"As long as it isn't a science fiction movie."

"Well what do you want to see?"

"I would like to see Gone Girl." She answered him.

"Okay what is that about?" He asked. He really didn't care what it was, if she wanted to see it he would get it for her. He really wanted to make the effort to show her he could compromise.

"It's about a couple having some issues and then the wife disappears. The husband is obviously the first suspect in her disappearance. I read the book, it was amazing." She said.

"Well then if that is what you want to see, let's see if we can get it at Redbox before we go out to dinner."

"Really? You mean you are willing to watch it with me?" She was shocked. She figured he would fight her more on the issue.

"I am willing to give it a try. You always watch my movies. Like you said a couple of weeks ago, we always watch with commentary and I have banished you to the kitchen when you talk. I should really take into consideration the fact that you are willing to watch the movie with me."

"Okay who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?"

"What are you talking about?" He asked innocently.

"I mean you always fight me tooth and nail about seeing a movie I want to see. Why are you suddenly so agreeable?"

"What I can't compromise? Leonard doesn't think I compromise either."

"Well that is because you don't usually. Or if you do compromise it is something silly like just wearing a Raggedy Andy wig over your C3PO costume."

"Well let's say I am trying, okay?"

"And I appreciate it." She said to him.

The two of them split off when they got to work and agreed to meet for lunch with Raj. The rest of the morning was uneventful as was lunch. Although Raj did wean his way into a dinner invite that evening.

As they were walking back to Amy's lab Sheldon asked her, "Why did you have to invite him to dinner with us?"

"Because he was going to be alone. I felt bad for him."

"Just do me a favor and don't invite him back to watch the movie."

"I promise as soon as dinner is over we will ditch him."

"Okay good." They arrived at her lab and were greeted by a very large man.

"Hi Amy." Bert said to her as they arrived in the lab.

"Hey Bert, what brings you here?" Amy asked him. He still periodically stopped by to bring her nice rocks even though she gave them back to him every time now. He still didn't believe that she had a boyfriend.

"Well I thought I would bring you this rock I found and see if you have any plans for tomorrow night. It is Valentine's Day after all." He answered her.

"Of course she has plans tomorrow night. She will be going out with me, her boyfriend." Sheldon said rather angrily. Amy had told him about this guy from the geology lab who had asked her out on a date over a year ago. He had no idea he was still coming around.

"As I have said countless times to you Bert, I have a boyfriend." Amy said casually. "This is Sheldon Cooper, he works in the physics lab."

"I know who he is. I heard the rumor he had a girlfriend but I didn't believe it. I had no idea it was you." Bert said.

"Well yes now that you know, you can leave Amy alone." Sheldon said. "She has told me you have asked her out and she made it clear she was not interested so please be so kind as to back off now."

"Well excuse me. I just know how some girls can be. I was told by those two idiots that went to the rock show with me that she was a lesbian. So what was I supposed to believe." Bert said.

"How about the truth when it is told to you." Amy said. "I tried to tell you last year, I wasn't interested even if I wasn't dating someone, but you made me feel guilty for saying no."

"I'm sorry." Bert stuttered then he left her lab.

"Thank goodness that mess is over with." Amy said. "I am so glad you came down here with me today."

"Yes well, I don't think he will be asking you out again anytime soon." Sheldon said. "Why didn't you tell me he was still harassing you? I could have taken care of this sooner."

"Because it just started happening again not that ago. I thought I could handle him. I'm sorry." She said to him.

"What do you have to be sorry about? It's not like you encouraged him to come visit." He said.

"Well I am glad it's over now." Amy said. "I need to get back to work."

"Me too." Sheldon said. "I have a 2:00 class."

"Okay I will be ready by about 4:30 to leave." She said.

He gave her a kiss goodbye and went up to get his materials for his class.

Dinner that evening was uneventful. Raj was happy to be invited along and didn't even get upset when they said goodnight after dinner. He knew they wanted some time alone and since they would be spending the next night together he wasn't going to push his luck.

Sheldon and Amy went back to his apartment to watch the movie. They had gotten a copy of Gone Girl while they were out. Sheldon made tea while Amy set the DVD up to play.

"I think I am going to put my pajamas on before we watch." Amy said to him.

"Really? It is still early." He commented.

"Well we aren't planning on going anywhere else tonight and I just want to be comfortable. I like sitting and watching movies in my pjs."

"Well then maybe I will put mine on as well."

"Okay." She said.

They went back to his room to retrieve their things.

"You go ahead and use the bathroom, I will change in here." He told her.

"Okay thanks." She said and made her way out.

Even though she had suggested putting on their pajamas, Amy still felt strange doing it. She knew that they would be sleeping in the same bed that night and there was no way to avoid him seeing her in them. He had seen her in a nightgown when she was sick so she didn't know why this was feeling uncomfortable. It wasn't like she was wearing anything risqué. She knew better. She had to wait until he was ready for that kind of clothing. Her pajamas were very conservative just bottoms and a top, nothing fancy. He very rarely saw her in anything but skirts or dresses. She heard him open his bedroom door and walk past the bathroom. She finally just put the pajamas on and went out and sat on the couch.

"Shall we start the movie?" He asked as she settled herself.

"Yes." She answered.

He started the movie and immediately put his arm around her to cuddle. He actually found he enjoyed having Amy cuddled against his chest when they were watching movies. It felt very natural.

After the movie was over they got ready for bed. Sheldon began to get nervous about what might happen once they were in bed together. He knew he wanted to explore more intimacy with her but he wasn't sure he was ready this time. He made his way back into his bedroom and found Amy just sitting on the bed.

"What's wrong?" He asked her concerned.

"I don't know where you sleep." She answered him.

"Oh well usually I sleep in the middle. Where do you sleep?" He asked.

"I tend to sleep on the left side." She answered.

"Well then you sleep there and I will take the right." He answered.

"Okay." She said and she got into bed.

They laid in bed for a while not quite knowing what to do or say. After about 10 minutes Sheldon rolled on his side to face Amy.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Does this feel strange to you?" He asked her.

"A little. But that is mostly because I have never really slept with anyone. I slept with a cousin when I was little but that is about all."

"I know what you mean. I shared a bed with my brother a few times when we went on family vacations but that is all."

"So what should we do?" She asked.

"Would you like to cuddle?" He asked.

"I suppose we could do that." She answered him with a smile.

"Okay." He said. "Well then let's do that." He smiled as well.

He leaned in and gave her a kiss. "Goodnight, Amy"

"Goodnight Sheldon." She gave him another quick kiss before rolling over and cuddling into him to sleep.

He put his arm around her and it felt very natural. He was extremely comfortable. They both slept very soundly cuddled together.

Okay I was not ready for them to go far. They are just getting used to sleeping together right now. Maybe by the end of the weekend there may be some intimacy but I just wanted cuddling this night. I hope that is okay.

I have not seen Gone Girl but I have heard good things about it so it seemed like something Amy may want to see. I knew Fifty Shades may be something she reads and may go see with the girls but can you see Sheldon in that movie? I couldn't so I had to nix that idea.

We are going back to Aspen in the next chapter. Writing all 4 couples is a challenge, but fun.

Reviews are always helpful. Thanks!
