Ushering a sobbing Amy into the apartment Penny pulled her into a hug.
"Hey bestie" she grinned "this is a fun surprise, come on no tears you'll stress out Sheldon!"
Half laughing half sobbing Amy hugged Penny then turned to look at a startled looking Sheldon.
"I thought you'd like it." He said unsure of what to do.
"Oh Sheldon I love it, it was just a shock"
Nodding Sheldon moved further into the room and seeing Leonard, Raj and an obviously already drunk Howard he went to stand with them. Amy was surrounded by her friends from work plus Amy, Lucy and Bernadette all wanting to hug and talk to her. Someone put a glass in her hand and soon she had been divested of her jacket and was being ushered around the room to look at the photos.
"Its at times like this I wish I wasn't married" Howard slurred gazing at the girls
"Oh grow up Howard" Raj said, "and don't let Bernadette hear you talking like that or you will have her and your mother to contend with."
Leonard sniggered. "Hey buddy good job keeping that secret. I think we can safely say it was a surprise." Leonard clapped Sheldon on the back. Wincing and moving a step away Sheldon just nodded.
"Come on Sheldon have a drink, Penny bought some of that strawberry vodka milk stuff you like"
ushering Sheldon towards the kitchen Raj got I'm a drink and said "you all set for tonight?"
"Yes except Amy has not got her cases with her, only her over night bag, so I am going to have to go back to hers to get her luggage I guess."
"Why don't you give me her keys and we can pick up her bags Sunday when we come to wave her off. That way you wont have to worry and as long as we are there in plenty of time it should be fine."
"OK, but look after them, I need them for the next 6 months"
Handing over Amy's key Sheldon signalled to Penny and told her the new plan.
"That's fine sweetie no problem, now come have fun!"
Relaxing a little Sheldon drank his drink and watched Amy. She appeared to be having fun, her glass was constantly being topped up and her friends were making a fuss of her. Seeing her like this Sheldon realised it wouldn't just be him that missed Amy, regardless of how she saw herself she really did have lots of friends who thought a lot of her.
As the night progressed the music and laughter got louder. Tonight each of the boys had a date so the normal desperate bid to chat up girls did not occur. Instead they sat talking together and with Amy's friends. It was Penny who started the dancing, laughing when Amy dragged Leonard up to do the birdie song.
"Come on Leonard" she grinned "this is our song!"
Even Sheldon sniggered at this. Amy was well on the way to becoming drunk. Watching carefully and checking his watch Sheldon pulled Penny to one side. "Do you think I should take Amy to the hotel. She is getting drunk."
"No Sheldon she is fine, let her have some fun!"
Shrugging Sheldon refilled his own drink and then filled up a plate of food and took it to Amy.
"Here eat some of this. It might soak up some of the wine!" he muttered. Grinning Amy threw her arm around Sheldon's waist and began a very enthusiastic introduction to her work friends. Squirming in embarrassment Sheldon looked at Penny to rescue him but she just laughed.
Picking up a piece of fried chicken of the plate he had handed her he all but shoved it in her mouth to get her to stop talking.
"And there was me thinking we were having a romantic meal for 2" Amy said gazing up at Sheldon "when all the time you had this planned"
"Well..." Sheldon stuttered. He hadn't really wanted to tell Amy the next part of the plan in front of everyone but he was beginning to see no way out of it.
"Well.. "he started again and stopped.
"What you oh so intelligent boyfriend is trying and failing to tell you Amy is, there is a more romantic element to this evening but it means you have to leave here."
Turning Amy looked at Sheldon enquiringly
Blushing scarlet now all eyes were on him Sheldon muttered "We are booked in for two nights at a hotel at the airport. Penny and the others will collect your bags Sunday when they come to wave you off."
"Oh Sheldon" Amy launched herself at Sheldon again and again tears began to flow.
"Penny if I had known it would cause this many tears..." Sheldon muttered but Amy was peppering kisses all over his face and there was really not much he could do.
"OK you," Penny said peeling Amy off Sheldon, go say your goodbyes and I will take you to the hotel.
The amount of drink Amy had consumed made the farewells long but she was so happy Sheldon just waited patiently by the door holding their bags. Eventually she reached him and grasping his hand she pulled him into a hug then followed him out the door.

The drive to the hotel wasn't long and Amy spent most of it snuggled up to Sheldon. He had called shotgun and tried to climb in the front next to Penny but Amy was having none of it.
"Tonight I need my snuggle bunny" she grinned and pulling him in after her buried her head in his neck.
Penny looked at them in her rear view mirror and grinned. Sheldon just shook his head.
Once at the hotel Penny handed Sheldon a bag and whispered, "I plated up some food for you. Try and get her to eat some, you don't want her top spend tomorrow throwing up! Also there are painkillers in there in case she needs them."
"Thanks Penny, you are a good friend."
Wrapping his arm around Amy as much to keep her upright and moving as anything else, Sheldon ushered her in to the hotel and checked them in.
Following the directions to their room he opened the door and saw it was as Penny had promised clean, neat and a nice size. Nothing like their Boston room but a nice room non the less. Dropping their overnight bag by the door Sheldon ushered Amy to a chair and then removed the food Penny had given him. Placing it in front of Amy he said "Here this is from Penny. Try to eat some while I get you a drink."
He found a kettle and some instant coffee plus some bottles of water,. Soon Amy had devoured 2 pieces of chicken and some pizza and half a bottle of water. Looking much more alert she said "Sheldon my cases, all my clothes. I have nothing to wear."
"Amy you have the overnight bag you brought round to mine, plus I have brought along some things I thought you might need. You should have plenty of clothes to see you through to Sunday."
"Oh Sheldon I really cant believe you and Penny have done all this. I was dreading saying goodbye but this is lovely thank you."
"I just hope you don't suffer tomorrow as a result of too much fun tonight. Penny gave me some painkillers I suggest you take those with the rest of your water and then we have an early night."
Seeing Amy yawn as he said these words Sheldon was relieved. Although not what he had originally planned or hoped for, Sheldon knew it was best.
Both were soon showered and changed into their pyjamas. Sheldon had let Amy use the bag she had brought with her deciding he would save his bag for tomorrow. Climbing into bed Amy snuggled in close.
"Thank you Sheldon" she whispered. Then fell immediately asleep,.
Sheldon lay holding Amy for a while before he too fell asleep, as he watched her he realised Penny had been right. Tonight's party had been a great way for Amy to say goodbye. Now it was up to him to make tomorrow as memorable.

When Amy woke the next morning she was totally disorientated. It was only as she rolled over and saw Sheldon sound asleep next to her the previous night began to come back to her. Grinning she remembered bursting into tears in shock. Who'd have thought Sheldon would be able to keep a secret like that. Penny had told her they hadn't even told him until Wednesday but still. Her head was a bit sore but seeing a glass of water and painkillers by her bed side she realised Sheldon had obviously anticipated this too. Laughing now she reached over and took the pills before snuggling into Sheldon's side. He had on his many layers and was still fast asleep. Looking at the clock Amy saw it was not quite 6 am so she might as well go back to sleep too.
The next time she woke Sheldon was not in bed. Laying quietly Amy listened for running water wondering if he was in the shower or shaving, but nothing. Getting up she moved to the bathroom and realised Sheldon wasn't there. She turned at the sound of the door opening and Sheldon walked in carrying bags of take-out tea and coffee and muffins and what smelt like bacon.
"Sheldon I wondered where you had gone" she grinned moving to relieve him of some of the bags before he dropped them
"Good morning Amy, I trust you are well rested. I noticed when I woke that you had taken the painkillers I left you and thought some food might be in order."
"You think of everything, let me have a quick shower and I'll be right out to join you."
Dashing back to the bathroom Amy stripped and showered as quick as she could; grabbing a hotel gown off the back of the door to wrap herself in, then going back into the bedroom found Sheldon sat at the table with the breakfast laid out.
"This looks lovely Sheldon, I hadn't realised how hungry I was!
"You didn't eat much last night, all the excitement"
"Yes, but it was so worth it!" Amy grinned."Penny said she would bring the photos she had round the room and any she took last night with her on Sunday so I can take them with me."
Having finished their breakfast Sheldon bagged up their rubbish and asked "Is there anything you had wanted to do today, I don't want to hijack any plans you had"
"No Sheldon I had no plans other than to spend the day with you. I am more than happy to stay in our room or go our I really don't mind."
"Well why don't you get dressed we can go for a walk and then see how we feel. There are some nice restaurants or we can eat here it is up to you."
Grinning Amy grabbed her bag and went to get changed. She was glad she had packed nice clothes as she would quite like to go out for dinner later. Once dressed she went back into the bedroom,
"Sheldon did I remember correctly, did you say you had brought other stuff for me? It has just occurred to me I only packed for one night."
Nodding Sheldon moved to his bag and pulled out the Victoria Secrets bag.
"I got you these" he said quietly knowing his cheeks were pink.
Looking at Sheldon then back at the bag Amy took it from him then looked back at Sheldon.
"Did you choose these?"
"Yes. Penny was with me but yes I chose them," Amy gasped as she pulled out first the night gown then the underwear, she too was now pink in the cheeks and totally at a loss for words.
"Sheldon … I..." tears filled her eyes
"Amy please don't cry, you know I am not good when people cry!"
Swiping a hand at her eyes Amy gently place the bag down and then walked to Sheldon."thank you" she whispered and gently kissed him.
Surprised it took a second for Sheldon to respond, putting his arms around her waist he hugged her.
"You are welcome Amy, I am glad you like them."
Sniffing Amy laughed,"OK Dr Cooper lets go for that walk or I will want to keep you locked up I here until I fly!"
Sheldon blushed again but was secretly thrilled at Amy's happiness with the present.
Together they walked holding hands for about an hour. They didn't talk much just pointing out the occasional item of interest. Looping back they found themselves heading towards the hotel and both were happy to be going back.
Once back in the room Amy sat on the bed and opened the bag again, holding the night gown she looked at Sheldon and said "It is so beautiful."
"I am glad you like it "he grinned shyly, "it reminded me of the nightdresses you wore in Boston but fancier. Penny said you had looked at it when in there with her."
"I did, it was this very gown, I can remember then thinking how beautiful it was and thinking I had never owned or had the need for anything like it. Sheldon it is just beautiful."
Standing Amy moved to stand in front of Sheldon. She linked her arms around his neck and kissed him. Smiling Sheldon kissed her back first gentle kisses but then deeper more intense until Sheldon pulled back slightly out of breath.
"Why don't you try it on" he smiled shyly.
Amy grabbed the bag and went to the bathroom to change. Sheldon sat on the end of the bed. He knew very well where this could lead. He had come prepared with the condoms he had bought on his trip with Penny and having read up a little he had bought some lube too. He was nervous. He wanted this to be right, he just hoped it wasn't a total disaster. Running his hand down his face he stood and grabbed the brown pharmacy bag out of his over night bag and emptied the contents into the bedside drawer.
It was only 11.30, he couldn't believe he was considering doing this in broad daylight. Maybe he should stop. But as much as he was nervous he really didn't want to stop either.
Turning as he heard the bathroom door open Sheldon's breath caught in his throat. Amy look gorgeous. She had clipped her hair up at the sides and stood before him in the shorts style panties and the pale blue night gown.
Grinning at Sheldon who stood with his mouth hanging open, Amy said "You like?" Sheldon smiled slowly and nodded.
"You look beautiful Amy absolutely beautiful!"
"Sheldon why don't you lock the door and close the blinds" Amy whispered. She was a little self conscious that she stood in broad daylight in her night clothes and like Sheldon she was nervous.
As Sheldon turned back to look at her again she whispered "Sheldon I'm nervous."
"Me too" Sheldon replied but he smiled at her and held out his hand and just sat on the end of the bed.
"Amy we don't have to do anything, or we can make out a little but stop whenever you want."
Smiling Amy nodded "How about you loose a few layers, I am feeling very under dressed here!"
Sheldon grinned, and said "Let me jump in the shower quickly and I'll be right back."
Moving swiftly to the bathroom Sheldon quickly washed down, then abandoning underpants put on his pyjama bottoms and under shirt. When he re-entered the bedroom Amy was standing by the table checking her phone, Sheldon went up behind her and put his arms around her waist.
"Everything OK?" he asked quietly
Amy put her phone down and turned in his arms "Yes. I was just checking my email then turning my phone off."
Nodding Sheldon bent and kissed her, the slow kiss was comfortable and tender, lifting his head he whispered "Do you want to go sit on the sofa or lie down on the bed?"
Blushing Amy replied "Can we sit on the sofa for a while?"
Sheldon took her hand and led her to the sofa then pulled her onto his lap. She sat with her back to the arm of the chair and her feet on the cushions, grinning she wrapped her arms around Sheldon's shoulders and kissed him. They sat kissing for a while, no hurry just gentle tender kisses. Amy pulled back and buried her head in Sheldon's neck kissing him softly she then kissed his ear and whispered "I love you Sheldon"
Smiling Sheldon pulled back and with his fingers moved Amy's head so she was looking at him "I love you too Amy. I want you to know, 6 months or a year, however long you need to be away, when you get back I will be here waiting."
Amy's eyes filled with tears.
"No more tears."Sheldon whispered and kissed her again.
This time the kiss was more intense, stroking her lower lip with his tongue Sheldon held her head and deepened the kiss. Amy's arms that had been on his shoulders were now in his hair stroking and grabbing. Pulling back out of breath Amy said "Lets go lie down" and swinging her legs off the sofa, held out her hand to Sheldon.
Amy folded the covers back to the foot of the bed, she knelt up on the edge of the bed and pulled Sheldon up against her and said "I think you should loose the top Dr Cooper!" grinning Sheldon tugged the t shirt over his head, and folding it, put it of the chair by the bedside. Turning back to her Sheldon wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against him,
"I almost don't want to take this off you" he whispered stroking the floaty material.
Amy grinned and ran her hands down his chest. Leaning forward she started peppering kisses across his collar bone down towards his nipples. Sheldon grabbed at her hips more to stop himself swaying than anything, then whispered "I've changed my mind!"
Bunching the material in his hands raised it over her head so she was left in the pale blue short panties. Sheldon ran his hands up Amy's sides then cupping one breast in his hands bent and kissed it gently. Amy moaned. Sucking the nipples into his mouth Amy grabbed the back of his head. Moving back slightly to break the contact Amy shuffled backward on the bed and made room for Sheldon. As he climbed on to the bed and lay down next to her Amy could see his erection tenting the front of his pyjama pants.
Pulling him close Amy wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him. They lay holding each other kissing and stroking their exploration gradually growing more demanding with Sheldon pulling Amy's hips into his so she could feel his arousal. Amy broke the kiss and looked at Sheldon.
"Are we going to do this?" she whispered nervously.
"Not if you don't want too. Just holding you like this is perfect" Sheldon replied
"I do want too Sheldon just go slow OK?"
Nodding Sheldon moved to kiss her again, he stroked her back with one hand almost soothingly as he could feel her tension and knew she was as nervous as he was. Gradually he felt her relax as her hands began to explore his chest again.
Shifting slightly Sheldon pulled Amy under him and began using his mouth to explore her. Starting at her neck he whispered "Just tell me to stop if you feel uncomfortable OK?" Nodding Amy stroked his hair as he gently kissed down her neck to her breasts. Pulling and twisting on her nipple with is long fingers had Amy gasping, then he suckled on the other before swapping. Amy could feel her nerves leave and her desire for Sheldon build. The hands in his hair held tight but this was to ensure he didn't stop. Her breath coming in gasps as he licked and suckled on her before slowly moving down towards her stomach.
Amy had her head thrown back and her eyes tightly closed as she gave her self over to the feelings Sheldon was creating in her. Moving lower Sheldon hooked his fingers into the sides of her panties and pulled them down all the while kissing her stomach then across her hip then down the inside of her thigh.
"Oh god" Amy moaned as she felt Sheldon place kisses on her feet before moving back up her body, his finger had trailed down too and were now stroking the small triangle of curls between her legs, barely touching.
"Sheldon please" Amy gasped shifting again
"What do you want?" he asked, wanting to make sure he did the right thing
"Touch me, please!" Amy panted and was reward by Sheldon brushing a finger down and over her clit. Gasping and thrusting her hips Amy felt Sheldon part her legs a little as he moved his mouth back up her body. His finger were very slowly stroking her; first her clit then gently parting her now very wet lips to slide towards her entrance. Raising her hips in silent invitation Amy was rewarded by Sheldon's slipping 1 long finger inside her. He had raised his head from kissing her and was now watching his own hand as his finger entered her slowly then withdrew.
"You OK?" he whispered
"Yes! Oh god yes, that feels so good don't stop"
Feeling encouraged Sheldon slipped another finger into her and was rewarded by Amy's groan. He could feel her grasping and pulling his fingers into her and was amazed at how wet she now was. Moving his fingers a little quicker Sheldon rubbed his thumb across Amy's clit again and her hips lifter of the bed. Fascinated by her face as he watched her writhe and moan Sheldon moved his hand quicker.
"Sheldon I'm so close " Amy panted.
Sheldon didn't stop moving his hand but this time leant up and suckled on her nipple too. Amy was now bucking wildly beneath him and Sheldon felt the ripples of orgasm gather and shake her, his fingers being squeezed as she came on his hand.
Panting Amy opened her eyes and looked at Sheldon "I cant believe I came that hard. Oh Sheldon." Amy blushed in embarrassment at the total abandonment that had overtaken her.
Placing soothing kisses across her face Sheldon smiled. "Amy you looked amazing. I have never seen anything like that." Sheldon pulled her tightly to him and just held her as her breathing calmed.
"Sheldon make love to me" Amy whispered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I want to feel you inside me"
Sheldon moved to the bedside drawer and removed a condom. Standing he took of his pyjama bottoms then sitting back down quickly place the condom on himself. He knew if Amy touched him now he would not last long.
"Amy I don't know how long I will last. I feel ready to explode just from watching you." he blushed.
"It doesn't matter I just want to feel you."
Pulling Sheldon on top of her she began to kiss his ears then down his neck running her hands over his body gently.
Sheldon looked at Amy
"Stop me if it hurts Amy, I don't want to hurt you."
Nodding Amy moved her legs a little and felt Sheldon settle between them.
"Sheldon kiss me" she whispered, and gently Sheldon lowered his head and kissed her. As they kissed he eased forward a little at a time into her. It was Sheldon who broke the kiss first burying his face in Amy's neck and gasping as the sensations overtook his body. Holding still he began to breathe slow and deep before moving forward a little more. Soon he was all the way inside and Amy had her legs wrapped round his waist.
"Amy don't move" he gasped, really fighting for control now. He could feel her so tight around him he knew the slightest movement and he would explode.
"Sheldon look at me" Amy whispered.
Opening his eyes Sheldon looked down at Amy and smiled "Hey" he whispered
Grinning Amy run her hands down his back and grabbed his bum pulling him into her.
"Move with me Sheldon" she whispered and slowly Sheldon began to withdraw then sank back into her.
"Amy! I cant last, I am sorry." his hips twitching and feeling Amy tighten around him Sheldon threw back his head as his orgasm overtook him. He thrust once hard back into Amy and collapsed.
Amy wrapped her arms around him and held him tight.
He lay still for several minutes before raising his head and saying "I'm so sorry. I knew the minute I felt you around me I wouldn't last."
Grinning Amy said "We have got all day! Why don't you go shower and we will order room service. I am suddenly starving. Then I want to try that again!"
Nodding still a little embarrassed Sheldon moved off the bed toward the bathroom.
