Thank you for the lovely reviews on the last chapter. It always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
As far as smut is concerned, it will come in the form of a oneshot after this story is over. It will center around Sheldon and Amy's wedding night. It's a new adventure for me and I don't want to compromise the integrity of this story by adding a smutty chapter that is horribly written. At least if I add it as a oneshot, that story is ruined and not this one. Does that make any sense? I hope so.
Sheldon woke up the next morning and his head was pounding. He knew immediately that he had a hangover and groaned against his pillow. It was only when he did this that he realized that he was laying on his stomach instead of in his usual sleeping position. As he began to push himself up, he realized that he was still in the same clothes that he wore out last night.
"That extra drink was not my brightest idea," Sheldon mumbled to himself as he made his way to his feet. As soon as he was upright, his stomach started to turn. He knew that he only had a few seconds to get to the bathroom before he regurgitated everything in his stomach.
Leonard woke up when he heard Sheldon close the bathroom door. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 8 am. He was used to Sheldon being awake this early, but he had really hoped that he would make an exception just this once. Leonard had hit the tequila a little too hard himself at the bar and just wanted to spend most of the day sleeping it off. It didn't matter anyways since he was now wide awake.
Leonard got up and began making his way to the kitchen when he heard Sheldon in the bathroom getting sick. He stopped and gently knocked on the door.
"Are you okay in there?" Leonard asked.
"Not really," Sheldon groaned.
"Do you need me to get you anything?" Leonard replied.
"Water," Sheldon said before he dry heaved.
Leonard continued to make his way to the kitchen. He grabbed a glass from the cabinet and filled it with water. He figured Sheldon would need some aspirin as well, but he remembered that it was in the bathroom with Sheldon already. He made his way back to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
"Hey Sheldon," Leonard called through the door. There was no response so he knocked again. "Sheldon," he said, slightly worried.
When Sheldon did not answer again, Leonard let himself into the bathroom. He found Sheldon hunched over the toilet, moaning in displeasure for his current state.
"Hey buddy. Come on, let's get you back in bed," Leonard said as he helped Sheldon up.
"Leonard, remind me to never drink again," Sheldon told him. Leonard couldn't help but laugh to himself.
"You got it," Leonard replied.
Meanwhile, Penny and the girls were waking up and getting into full on wedding mode. After Penny made them breakfast, glossy wedding magazines took over the living room. Now that they knew that it would be a double wedding, they could finally start putting details together. They could pick out color schemes, bridesmaids dresses and so on.
"What about black and white? Then we could have two accents colors; one for both couples," Penny suggested.
"I actually like that idea," Bernadette added.
"I like it, too," Amy smiled.
"What colors were you all thinking about?" Kelly asked.
"I'm not sure," Amy admitted.
"I saw a color scheme on Pinterest that might be cute. It was cream-white, blossom pink, leaf green, and a darker green, but we could swap it out for black," Penny said.
"Ooo, that sounds pretty," Bernadette said.
"If we get married in the spring, it would be gorgeous," Penny added.
"I thought Leonard wanted a fall wedding," Amy replied.
"I think he'll get married any time if it means that he doesn't have to help plan it," Penny said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"What about Sheldon? When does he want to get married?" Kelly asked Amy.
"He hasn't really had a preference. Like Leonard, he'll agree to almost any date if it means that he doesn't have to be involved," Amy laughed.
"What about at the end of the summer?" Bernadette suggested.
"That would give us time to finish planning everything," Amy added.
Just then, Leonard walked into the apartment, looking exhausted from taking care of Sheldon. He just wanted to go back to sleep.
"Hey honey!" Penny squealed.
"Hey babe," Leonard replied. "What are you girls up to?"
"We were looking at dates for the wedding. We were thinking about having it at the end of the summer. What do you think?" Penny asked as she got up to give Leonard a kiss.
"That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea," Leonard replied.
"Do you think Sheldon will go for it?" Amy asked.
"Probably. I'm going to take a nap and then go check on him. I'll ask him then," Leonard said.
"Check on him? Is everything okay?" Amy asked with concern in her voice.
"He's just hung over. Poor guy woke up and was sick to his stomach this morning. I gave him water and some aspirin and put him back to bed, which is where I plan on going myself," Leonard answered. He walked towards the bedroom after giving Penny a quick kiss. He really needed the rest.
"Do you think I should go check on him?" Amy asked as Penny made her way back to the couch.
"Leonard said that he just went back to sleep. I would give it about an hour and then go check on him. Just to let him get a little sleep," Kelly replied.
Amy nodded in agreement before going back to the magazines in front of her. The girls flipped through every magazine, went through dozens of Pinterest posts, and looked at what felt like thousands of wedding websites before they were satisfied with the work they had done. Bernadette, Kelly, and Amy had begun to gather their belongings so that they could leave when Leonard emerged from the bedroom.
"Is everyone leaving already?" he asked in a groggy voice.
"Yeah. Are you going to go check on Sheldon?" Penny asked.
"If you are, I would really like to tag along," Amy added.
"Yeah, just give me a few minutes to get dressed," Leonard said.
While Leonard went back to the bedroom to get dressed, the girls all said their goodbyes. It wasn't long before Leonard was ready. Him and Amy walked across the hall to Sheldon's apartment and Leonard unlocked the door to let them in. They made a beeline for Sheldon's room. Amy knocked on the door and all she heard on the other side was Sheldon groaning. She opened the door to see Sheldon propping himself up to see her and Leonard entering his room.
"How are you feeling?" Amy asked softly.
"Honestly, better now," Sheldon replied, his eyes filling with life again. Amy smiled at him. She loved the way he looked at her.
"I was going to run to the store. Do you need anything while I'm out?" Leonard asked.
"Perhaps a Gatorade. I have heard they help with hangovers," Sheldon answered.
"You got it. I should be back soon," Leonard said as he left the room.
After Leonard closed the door, Amy made her way over to Sheldon's bed and sat on the edge of it. Sheldon settled back down into his pillow and looked up at her.
"So, the girls and I were doing some wedding planning. We think we may have come up with a date at the end of the summer. Penny is going to call around and see what kind of venues are available," Amy said, unsure of how he would react.
"Is that what you want?" Sheldon asked.
"It is. I have always wanted a summer wedding. Not to mention, the colors we picked out would fit well with the season," Amy replied.
"I want you to have to wedding that you have always dreamed of," Sheldon said sweetly.
Amy wasn't sure what it was. It could have been the sweet words he uttered to her last night on top of what he just said. Or maybe it was how cute he looked lying there. Whatever it was, Amy could not help herself. She smiled at him and then leaned to kiss him.
"My goodness, this feels amazing," she thought to herself.
That's all for now. The next chapter is the wedding. Eek! It may take a little time. I'm still working on the vows. Let me know what you think. :)
