Aww, thanks for your lovely reviews. Feeling truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. As promised, I'm focusing on Shamy and Lenny this chapter. Get ready to have your hearts melted!

"What an evening." Penny sighed as she flopped onto her blue couch. " What a damn evening."

"I know. I feel so bad for those guys. They really love each other."

"Exactly. It just sucks."

"Penny?"

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever been in a relationship like that?"

"No. You?"

"No."

"You never will."

He looked at her curiously. She sighed and moved closer to him to try and explain.

"I mean...I love you, you know that and I could never hurt you, because even though you're a huge pain in the ass at times, the thought of you being hurt is the worst thing ever. And if I was the one to cause you pain..."

Her throat tightened. Damn. Why did she get all weepy when making speeches like this? He put a soothing hand on her arm. She knew he'd gotten the gist, but was determined to follow it through. No matter how much mascara she lost.

".. I wouldn't be able.. to live with myself."

He put a hand on the small of her back and drew her closer to him. She reached her arms around his neck and tried to get her breathing under control. The fact that he knew she'd never hurt him comforted her more than his presence and his loving words.

"I know I'm not exactly terrifying..." She snorted through her tears. Boy, had he gotten that right.

"..But hurting you is not an option for me. Even if I was really mad, I think I'd rather break up than hit you."

She was touched. She knew how much she meant to Leonard (though he claimed she couldn't because of how much he loved her), and he was willing to put her safety over his happiness. No man had ever done that for her before. And here he was, telling her in no uncertain terms that that was what he was willing to do. For her.

She twisted around and located his lips with hers. Halfway through the kiss, she realised that she hadn't given him a response. However, if the enthusiastic reply to her unexpected smooch was anything to go by, she'd given a pretty good one.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ring! Ring! Ri-!

"Hullo?"

"Sheldon, I have something to tell you."

Sheldon sat upright. Amy sounded very serious. He felt nervous as he waited for her to tell him.

"Yes?"

"I care for you very much. I also like you a lot and I want you to know that I hope you feel as safe with me as I do with you."

"Amy, of course I feel safe with you."

"Oh, good. I just wanted to be sure. Goodnight."

"Wait, wait, wait. Before you hang up, I want you to know something too."

Wondering what he could have to tell her, Amy waited.

"My father wasn't a pleasant man even when sober. I think a small part of me was worried that when I grew up, I'd be like him, because I'm not very much like my mother in terms of personality. When we first became boyfriend and girlfriend, I was terrified, I was scared I might hurt you one day. And I haven't. If it weren't for you, I'd be doubting my ability to control anger for the rest of my life. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't feel as cared for as I do. Thank you."

"Oh, God, Sheldon.."

"Oh, Lord, woman don't cry down the phone."

"I'm not sad, I'm happy!" She was. Knowing that she'd made him feel cared for made her euphoric.

"I will never understand female emotions. Amy?"

"Yes."

"Goodnight."

"Sweet dreams."

Leonard gazed at the blonde who was sleeping, her head on his chest, smiling slightly. She was so perfect. And she loved him. She really did. And he loved her. He hadn't been joking when he'd told her he'd rather her safety over his happiness. He couldn't understand how people who claimed to love each other could hurt each other. It sounded harsh, but he just couldn't understand. Perhaps his mother could shed some light on it for him, but for now he would have to wait to ask her. He wondered if Howard had ever tried to hit Bernadette and then mentally scoffed at himself. In no way was Howard the type of person to hit a woman. In his past he could be an ass, but a woman-beater? God, no.

Cuddling Penny closer he decided to try and put it out of his mind. Insomnia was not going to help anything. Inhaling her vanilla scent, he couldn't stop himself from drifting into a dreamless sleep.

Did I do well? Not too sure on how I did Sheldon. I watched the Love Spell Potential last night, so I used that (and the help of two wonderful authors, LizzyBethLoveShamy and 5Mississipis) for inspiration. Still not too sure about it, I have serious self-doubt when I write Sheldon. Anyway, I promised you a chapter focusing on the other two couples and here it is! Really hoped you liked it! Don't forget to R&R! Thanks for the past reviews!

Love from Shania. xx
