He stared at her for a couple of minutes, motionless. Amy avoiding eye contact.

"Mommy, I'm full now," Tyler said as Amy held the cup of water near him so he could drink from the straw. Marie continued to eat happily.

Sheldon cleared his throat as he felt himself getting hotter, his hands clammy. Amy looked over at him as he picked up his glass of water and took long gulps.

"I don't understand, I thought..." he was lost for words.

Amy looked at him almost apologetically, "I mentioned it at the hospital,"she paused, "I'm sorry, I completely forgot about it until this morning when my supervisor mentioned it,"

Sheldon wasn't sure he was listening, he was watching as Marie lifted a forkful of rice into her little mouth and Tyler sat back against the chair, his little hands playing with his Superman figurine.

Amy looked at Sheldon and how he looked at them almost longingly, as if he was already imagining his life without them.

"We could come back on weekends," Amy said, slightly more cheerful. She was also very upset at this, she didn't want to lose Sheldon again but she knew that a move to Massachusetts was too much to ask.

Sheldon nodded, "I suppose,"

TBBT

It was late at night when Howard heard shuffling around the room and turned in the direction of the sound. He saw Bernadette pacing back and forth, her small hands on her back.

"Bernie?" he asked, half worried.

Bernadette looked startled as she looked over to Howard.

"Are you alright?"

Bernadette shook her head softly, "My back's killing me,"

Howard's face softened, he couldn't help but feel guilty for all Bernadette had to go through.

"Come here," he said, patting the space next to him, "let me give you a massage,"

Bernadette sat on the bed, a hand on her bump and the other on the bed, "Thanks Howie,"

Howard proceeded to massage her back for while before kissing her cheek, "Better?"

Bernadette nodded, "Yeah," she laid back on the bed as Howard did also. She cuddled up into his side and whispered, "I love you, Howie,"

Howard smiled, "I love you and our little munchkin,"

Amy pulled into the parking lot with Sheldon on the passenger seat and the twins asleep on their car seats, feeling a slight sense of déjà vu.

The rest of the dinner had been quiet, mainly the twins did all the talking, but not uncomfortable, she never felt uncomfortable around Sheldon.

Amy opened her door as Sheldon did too, "I'm going to have to wake up one of them," she said, not particularly to anyone, liberating who she would wake up.

Sheldon's eyebrow furrowed, "Why?"

Amy looked from the car door to her boyfriend, "I can't carry them both anymore,"

Sheldon's face filled with understanding, before he said, "I'll carry them," it was already approaching nine in the night, he could see they were very tired.

Amy looked shocked but nodded. She bent down and picked up Marie as Sheldon opened the other passenger door and took Tyler.

Both children nestled into their parents' arms, turning their face away from the cool breeze. Tyler took a deep breath, grabbing a fistful of his shirt.

Amy and Sheldon stood side by side in the elevator as they approached her apartment. Once they had unlocked the door, they walked straight towards the twins' bedroom, Sheldon carefully copying Amy's movements.

She placed Marie on her bed and looked for her pyjama. Luckily she had bathed them before going out to dinner. Sheldon did the same but found Tyler wouldn't let go of his shirt.

"Amy," he whispered.

Amy looked over and saw Sheldon leaning over Tyler, the infant's hand outstretched. Amy smiled as she moved to softly open up his fingers and free Sheldon.

"I'm going to quickly change them into their pyjamas," she whispered.

Sheldon nodded, "I'd like to help you, if you don't mind,"

Amy smiled warmly at Sheldon, "Sure,"

She passed Sheldon Tyler's pyjama and said, "Copy me,"

First, Amy softly pulled up Marie's shirt up her torso and over her head. Sheldon did the same but ever so softly. He moved Tyler as if he was made of glass and would break at a sudden movement.

Next, Amy placed her pyjama shirt on and removed her skirt. Sheldon did the same with Tyler finally placing their bottoms on.

The twins remained undisturbed in their deep sleep. Amy then placed Marie under the bed covers giving her a soft kiss on her forehead. Sheldon placed Tyler under the covers too, brushing back his hair from his face.

As the couple walked out Marie made a muffled whisper, "Daddy,"

Sheldon looked back in surprise and walked towards her bed.

"Yes, Marie?" he looked over her as his daughter tightly hugged the stuffed monkey Tyler had given her.

"I love you," she whispered, her eyes closed.

Sheldon's looked surprised but he whispered, "I love you too,"

TBBT

Sheldon sat on the couch next to Amy, "I believe this has become a usual thing for us,"

Amy smiled, "These late night talks are about the only time I have to myself,"

Sheldon looked away, he could feel the subject creeping to the forefront of his mind.

Grabbing her hand he said, "Amy don't go,"

She looked at him sadly, "There's nothing I can do Sheldon, I've signed the contract,"

Sheldon moved his hand to her cheek, "But I need you, I need you and the twins,"

Amy leaned into his palm, "I need you too,"

Sheldon moved closer and gave her a chaste kiss on the corner of her mouth, softly moving towards those sweet lips of hers. She placed her hand on the crook of his neck, forcing him to press his lips into hers.

Sheldon poured all his love and desire into that kiss, he needed her to see that he couldn't live without her, not again.

He untangled his hand from hers and placed it on the small of her back, slowly making her lie down on the couch. His torso pressing against her small frame, Amy ran her hands along his sides, making Sheldon lose control of all his sanity.

He began to unbutton the blouse she was wearing, revealing her pale cleavage. This sent him back into memories of that night. The night when he had given her everything.

Amy kissed him passionately, softly gnawing on his bottom lip. Sheldon grunted softly as he opened his mouth to her. She ran her hands through his hair as their kiss grew deeper and more passionate. Amy's blouse was now fully open and she began to pull at the hems of his shirts, unbuttoning his pants.

He could feel this begin to get out of control and it took all his being to pull away.

"Amy," he breathed, flustered.

Her cheeks were rosy as she took deep breaths, running her tongue along her lip, "You're...right,"

Sheldon sat up and helped Amy sit up too, she began buttoning up her shirt. He ran a hand through his hair and buttoned up his trousers. This was too much, yet he needed it.

Amy released a deep breath and took Sheldon's hand, "Would you stay with me tonight?"

Sheldon looked over at her and nodded, standing up.

"Wait," he turned to look at her, now standing there was an obvious height difference.

"I really need you to stay," he almost begged.

Amy closed her eyes before opening them again, almost painfully, "Sheldon, I told you, I signed the contract,"

Sheldon didn't know what to do, he knew what the obvious solution was but he wasn't sure he could bring himself to carry it out, plus he had just spoken to Dr Siebert today and he had offered him a senior position at CalTech.

"Come on," she said, tugging him to her bedroom.

Sheldon followed and Amy handed him his emergency over-night kit from all those years ago.

He stared at it in awe, "I didn't know you still had this,"

Amy blushed, "I couldn't throw it away,"

Once Amy and Sheldon had both changed into their pyjamas, she motioned for him to get into bed as she crawled into them herself. She stayed sitting up until Sheldon was in bed.

She could see he was tense, they had never shared a bed and just slept.

She waited for him to lay down and wrapped an arm around his chest, whether he liked it or not, she needed this. He felt the warmth of her body on his side and he felt nervous yet comfortable, as if this was where she should remain forever.

He wrapped an arm, albeit tense, around her and closed his eyes. He felt her move and he opened his eyes to feel her kissing his cheek.

"I thought you would never come back," she whispered as she nestled back into his side.

He turned to look at the top of her head, "I love you Amy, I would have searched the planet just to see you one more time,"

"I love you too," she whispered sleepily.

Sheldon looked at the digital watch on the bedside table.

3:06am.

He was finding it hard to fall asleep, it wasn't because of Amy, whose arm was still lazily flung across his chest.

It was because he was deliberating his options. He couldn't lose her, them, again. But could he just up and move so far?

And what about their relationship status? This he was sure about, once he came to the sound conclusion of what he would do to keep Amy at his side, their relationship would change to the next level. Definitely.

Marie could feel the sun on her face as she heard shuffling from across the room. Her eyes fluttered open as she saw Tyler sliding off his bed, his little feet touching the rug in between their beds.

"Tyler," she spoke, her voice groggy.

He looked behind him and smiled, "Hi Marie,"

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Tyler motioned at their digital clock on the bedside table.

Marie stared at her brother, confused.

"Marie, it's 9:35am and mommy hasn't woken us up to go to daycare," he replied matter-of-factly.

"Oh," Marie replied quietly, "Where are you going?" she asked as she saw her brother walking towards the door.

"To find mommy," he replied not looking back.

"Wait," Marie quickly slid off the bed and grabbed Tyler's hand, "I wanna go too,"

Tyler nodded and they walked out of their bedroom and took the couple of steps down the hall to their mother's room. They softly pushed open the door and entered the room.

They saw their mother's face, still asleep and their father sleeping behind her, his arm around her waist and her back against him. Tyler looked at Marie in surprise, who grinned back at him.

Tyler approached the bed and attempted to climb on but his little legs weren't long enough so he decided to remain standing.

He softly caressed his mother's cheek and whispered, "Mommy,"

Amy inhaled and exhaled deeply, opening her eyes, "Hi baby,"

Tyler smiled at her, "Mommy do we not have daycare today?"

Amy looked at her watch in surprise and groaned. She had overslept.

"No baby, I guess not," she replied, "Hi baby," she said as she saw Marie standing by the door.

"G'morning, mommy," she replied.

Tyler looked at his mother sheepishly, "Mommy, could you maybe please help me to get on the bed?"

Amy smiled, "Sure, baby, hold on,"

She turned around in Sheldon's arms and softly kissed him, "Sheldon," she whispered.

He groaned and nestled himself into her neck, wrapping his arms around her more tightly. Amy laughed and ran her hand through his hair, "The twins are up,"

Sheldon opened his eyes and looked over her shoulder to find Tyler smiling at him and Marie grinning at him.

"You're right," he replied, releasing his hold on Amy and letting her sit up.

She immediately moved to lift Tyler up onto the bed on her side, Marie then stepped forward and lifted her hands towards her mother, "Please mommy,"

Amy did the same with her daughter placing her on top of her legs. Sheldon remained laying down on his side, eyes closed.

"Hi daddy," Tyler whispered as he lifted the covers and nestled into the pillow on Amy's side. Marie crawled from her mother's lap in between her parents, lifting the covers and crawling underneath, "G'morning, daddy," she said.

Before Sheldon could even reply, even open his eyes, Marie had nestled into his chest, her knees up by her chest and her little hands balled up. She was so happy to finally have a daddy, just like all the other girls at daycare.

A couple of months ago:

Amy had dropped off the twins at a birthday party of one of the girls from daycare who had just turned four.

They were playing in the patio when they heard singing, "Happy Birthday to you!"

Everyone turned and the birthday girl, Mia, ran towards her parents. They placed the cake on the table they had prepared in the garden and her father scooped her into her arms, "There's my princess!"

Mia wrapped her arms around her father and he kissed her cheek. Marie looked down at her feet. She had always wanted a daddy and wondered why the other girls did and she didn't.

Tyler grabbed her hand and said, "Come on Marie, they're cutting the cake!"

Marie gave him a disheartened smile, "Okay," she promised that if she ever had a daddy, she would never let him go.

Sheldon placed his palm on the young girl's back as Amy lay back down in bed, an arm wrapped around her son.

"Sheldon," she whispered.

He looked at her over his daughter's head, "Yes,"

She smiled in his direction, "We overslept, it's five to ten,"

Sheldon's eyes widened, he would have guessed this would happen however, he had finally fallen asleep around four in the morning.

"I guess we should get up then," he whispered back.

Amy giggled softly causing Sheldon to raise an eyebrow at her.

"They've both fallen back asleep," she returned.

Sheldon looked down at Marie, breathing deeply into his chest, her eyes closed. He then looked over at Tyler, he was also asleep, nestled into his mother's side.

"I believe you're right," he replied.

Amy smiled at him and grabbed his hand that was under Marie.

Sheldon thought he should tell Amy about why he was so tired and the conclusions he had arrived to in the morning.

"Amy, I was thinking all night," he paused, Amy looked at him anxiously, was this too much for him?

"I've decided that I will go to Massachusetts with you,"
