A/N: Hey all, two chapters in two days. I think that might be because I find writing Shamy easier than the other couples. Thanks so much to all my wonderful reviewers and new followers. I love each and every one of you. This chapter is pure Shamy goodness. We will get back to that murder mystery in the next chapter. Enjoy! Oh this chapter has a bit of M rated stuff but nothing too over the top.

Every Saturday morning Sheldon gets up at 6:15. He pours himself a bowl of cereal and settles in his spot on the couch to watch Doctor Who. This Saturday was no different. He woke up at 6:15 just like always. The only difference this week was he had a brunette vixen wrapped in his arms and he was very comfortable that way. He had no idea when he asked her to stay if he would like sharing his bed with her. He knew he enjoyed kissing her and recently touching her and he wanted to do more but he was still afraid. So he decided he would do a test run of sleeping in the same bed. And he was definitely enjoying the feeling of her in his arms. Unfortunately for him another part of his body was also enjoying the feel of Amy around him. He couldn't let her know about that quite yet. He wasn't ready for that. He was just beginning to understand the appeal of intimacy and he knew he would be ready soon but not this particular morning even if his body said otherwise.

He carefully unwrapped himself from her and made his way to the bathroom. When he completed his morning ablutions, he had a decision to make. He knew that he could easily just let Amy sleep in while he watched Doctor Who or he could go back into his room and wrap himself back up with her and get some more sleep. He had no idea how long she slept on Saturday mornings. He stood in the hallway trying to decide what he wanted to do. He was just about to make his way into the living room, when Amy came out into the hall.

"Sheldon? What are you doing standing out here?" She asked him.

"Well I was just going to go out and watch Doctor Who. I didn't know how late you slept and I didn't want to wake you."

"What time is it?" She asked.

"Just before 6:30." He answered her.

"Is it really that early? I think I am going to lay back down for a bit." She said. "You watch your show. I don't want you to mess up your schedule because of me."

"Are you sure?" He asked. He knew he loved this woman for a reason.

"Absolutely. You have your routine. Don't mess with it because I'm here." She answered.

He kissed her. "I knew I loved you for a reason." He said and he walked in to the living room.

"I love you too." She said and returned to the bedroom.

An hour later, Sheldon turned off the television. Amy was still not awake. This time there was no decision to make. He made his way back into his bedroom and climbed back into bed. He pulled Amy tightly to him and fell back to sleep quickly. When he woke up again, he found Amy looking at him.

"When did you come back in here?" She asked him.

"As soon as Doctor Who was over." He answered.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you looked so peaceful, I didn't want to disturb you. So I climbed back into bed with you and fell asleep." He said. "Now that we are both awake, there was something I wanted to do."

"What's that?" She asked him.

He leaned in and kissed her. The kiss quickly turned passionate and without a thought Sheldon reached for her chest. He wasn't sure how far he wanted to take things this morning, but he knew he was going to try some new things with her. He had never touched her except over her clothing so he decided he wanted to feel her under the shirt. He slowly lifted her shirt and touched her. He was amazed at the feel. She fit perfectly in his hands and he loved it.

"Oh Sheldon." Amy said between kisses. She couldn't believe he had done that to her. She didn't want it to end. She had been hoping that he would eventually go under her shirt. He had taken off her cardigan on many occasions but this was the first time he ventured into no clothing territory. She was thoroughly enjoying it and hoping it wouldn't end any time soon.

Sheldon was beginning to have a problem below his waist. He knew he wasn't ready for sex yet and he was pretty sure Amy wasn't either. They have had discussions about when they would be ready. Amy had told him that while she felt ready she was nervous about the next steps. They had decided together that they would take things slowly. Not as slowly as they had been taking things, but their new found intimacy would be on their terms not anyone else's. So Sheldon was having an internal struggle with himself. Should he take things further or stop. His struggle was answered when Amy reached below down. It felt right. He started to moan and that encouraged Amy to try something else. When he felt her hand go into his pajama pants he stopped her.

"Amy, as much as I am enjoying this, I think we need to stop." He said panting.

"I'm sorry." She said to him. She felt she had crossed a line and he was now angry with her.

"Don't be. I was enjoying what we were doing quite a bit as a matter of fact. It's just I'm not quite there yet. I hope you understand."

"Sheldon, of course I understand. I don't want to do anything you aren't comfortable doing. You're not mad at me are you?" She was afraid he would say yes.

"Of course not. You did nothing wrong." He said. "Are you mad at me?"

"I could never be mad at you for this." She said.

"Okay good. So Happy Valentine's Day." He said to her. He was going to wait to give her the gift he bought her later.

"Happy Valentine's Day." She said back. She was surprised he even mentioned it this early in the morning. She figured he would just think about when they were out later. She didn't even know if he got her a gift. She got him something small but she didn't care if he got her anything in return.

"So what do you want to do today?" He asked her.

"I hadn't really thought about it. You did what I wanted to last night, how about we do what you want today. What time is dinner tonight?" She asked.

"Raj told me yesterday the reservations are for 7. He said he and Emily would be here at 6:30."

"So what do you want to do?"

"Do you think you could take me to the DMV?" Sheldon asks her.

"Why?" She was curious.

"Well I think I am ready to try and get my driver's license."

"Are you serious?" She asked him. She had been practicing with him for a few months. She was sure he was ready but he was always making excuses for not wanting to take the test.

"I have never been more serious in my life. I think it is about time I get my license. I need to become more independent. Leonard is going to be moving in with Penny soon and I can't always rely on him or even you to get me places."

"You know I am happy to do that for you." She said to him.

"I know but there are times I need to go places without you or Leonard and it would be nice to get there on my own without taking the bus."

"Well then let's get ready and go to the DMV."

The couple had breakfast and got ready to go.

"So do you want to drive over there or do you want me to do it?" Amy asked.

"Well I guess I should so I can get some last minute practice before I take the test." He answered.

"Okay." She handed him the keys.

He got behind the wheel of the car and did all the safety checks before starting the car and driving down Los Robles Avenue. He only got the pedals mixed up once while driving to the testing site and it was at the very beginning.

"Have you been practicing behind my back?" Amy asked him as they pulled into the parking lot.

"Who would have let me use their car?" He asked her.

"I'm not sure but the last time you drove you were not as good as you were today, so tell me the truth." She said.

"Okay, Leonard has taken me out a few times."

"I thought you didn't want anyone to know." She said

"Well, remember when you girls dragged us shopping?"

"Yes." She recalled when she and Penny came out from trying on clothes the two men had been crying.

"Well Leonard was telling me that I didn't compromise enough and him driving me around was such an inconvenience because I refused to learn. I kind of let it slip that you had taught me. He wasn't happy about it at all. So ever since, I have asked him to take me out. So between you and he, I got lots of practice. You took the initiative to teach me and had the patience while I was learning, I wanted you to be the one I was with when I actually got my license."

"That is so sweet. It looks like we won't have that much of a wait today. The day I got my license I waited over an hour before it was my turn. I was so nervous."

They got out of the car and went into the building. There were two teenage boys sitting in chairs waiting. Sheldon went up to the counter. He recognized the clerk as the woman who gave him his permit several years earlier.

"Can I help you?" She asked as Sheldon approached the counter.

"I am here to take my driving test." He answered her.

"Do you have a permit?" She asked.

"Yes I do." He pulled it out of his wallet.

"You've had this for quite a number of years Mr. Cooper." She said.

"It's Dr. Cooper, and yes I have but I have kept it up to date."

"Well Dr. Cooper, what if you don't mind me asking what took you so long to decide to take the test?"

"If you must know I was too evolved to drive." He answered her.

"Sheldon!" Amy yelled, rolling her eyes at him.

"Fine. I was afraid to drive. I finally got the nerve when my girlfriend taught me."

"Well good for her." The woman said. "So I need you to fill out this paperwork and then take it over to the waiting area. We have 3 officers testing today. Right now, they are all out with testers but it shouldn't be a long wait."

"Thank you." Sheldon said to her and took the papers.

Sheldon filled out his paper work and sat down. He was getting extremely nervous. Amy could sense his nervousness and took his hand. Another couple of teens came into the testing area while they were waiting.

"Hey mister, how come you didn't get your driver's license when you were our age?" One of the boys asked.

"Well as I don't know your age, I couldn't answer that question." Sheldon said to him.

"I'm 16." The boy answered him.

"Oh well than that is easy. I was finishing my doctorate at 16. I didn't have time to get it."

"Getting your doctorate?" The boy asked confused. "I'm in 10th grade. How could you get your doctorate when you were in 10th grade."

"Oh I graduated high school when I was 11." Sheldon answered him.

"Seriously?" The boy couldn't believe it. "You must have been really smart."

"Smart doesn't begin to cover it. I am a genius. I have a masters and two Phd's which I obtained before the age of 20."

"Wow that is really cool. In what field is your doctorate?" The boy was really curious.

"Physics." Sheldon answered proudly.

"I love science. Right now I am taking A.P. Biology and Chemistry. I hope to take A.P. Physics next year."

"Good for you." Sheldon said. "What is your favorite?" He asked him. He had never met a teenager who was curious about science like this young man seemed to be interested.

"I like the chemistry. The biology is okay but it is all about icky squishy things. I'm really good at math so I think I will like physics as well."

"I agree with the biology part." Sheldon said to the young man.

"Hey!" Amy said.

"Oh come on Amy, you know I have said the same thing this young man has said about biology. You will have to excuse my girlfriend, she has a Phd in neurobiology."

"Oh well sorry, miss. I didn't mean anything by it. It is just not for me." He said.

"It is perfectly okay. I hear it all the time." She said looking at Sheldon.

At that moment two officers walked in and it was time for Sheldon and the young man to take their tests.

"Well good luck mister. I hope you get your license." He said to him

"Thank you. I hope you pass as well." Sheldon said to him.

"Good luck." Amy said to him and gave him a quick kiss.

"Amy, not in public." He scolded but had a big smile on his face.

Sheldon walked out of the building with the officer and got in the car. Amy watched as he checked his mirrors and seats. She saw him start the car and pull out. She sat back down and pulled out her phone. She sent a quick text to Penny telling her what was going on and asking how things were in Aspen. She then pulled out a book to read while she waited for Sheldon to finish his test.

A/N: Okay I know I ended and you all don't know if he got his license or not but if I wrote that part then I would have to write the next part of that story line and I need to save some for the next chapters. So sorry, you will have to wait until chapter 8. Oh did you like the conversation with the young man. I thought about having the boys make fun of him but it seemed unnecessary.

Next chapter, back to Aspen. Did the older lady actually kill her boss? It may snow where I am so I may be home from work the next couple of days. I may be able to get another chapter out in the next couple of days.
