A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I'd really appreciate some more ;) But be gentle please!
..
Sheldon kicked a pebble down the sand as he trudged along the beach.
He was thinking hard, and gazed out across the sea as he reached the spot where ha and Amy had married a month earlier.
He smiled, remembering their big day.
The sun beat down on his body, as he continued to think about the feelings he was experiencing.
He attempted to use Kohlinar, but it didn't work.
Hearing voices, Sheldon spun around.
Running down the beach, was a little girl and a small dog.
The girl was laughing, her light brown hair flying out behind her as she and the dog ran side by side, playfully.
Her parents were not far behind, calling out to her: "Alicia, be careful! Don't go too far!"
Alicia tripped over on a pebble and fell forward.
Sheldon hurried over to help her up. "Oh my! Are you okay?" He asked.
The girl began to cry, and Sheldon spotted a graze on her knee that was bleeding.
He helped her to sit up, and bent down to her level. "I have emergency supplies on me at all times; please let me help you."
The little girl nodded, just as her parents jogged over.
Sheldon looked up. "Forgive my intrusion. Would you mind if I helped your daughter? I always carry wet wipes and band aids on me."
"Oh thank you!" The mother smiled. "That would be a great help; I didn't bring anything with me."
Sheldon rummaged in his pocket for his travel wet wipes and took one from the packet, placing the wipe gently on the girl's knee.
Her mom and dad were knelt down beside her, arms around her shoulders and soothing her.
"This won't hurt a bit." Sheldon was saying now, as he tossed aside the wet wipe, and smoothed the band aid over the cut. "There you go." He said, smiling.
"Thank you sir." The little girl said, hugging him.
Sheldon accepted the hug awkwardly.
"Thank you so much." Her mom was saying now.
"That's no trouble at all." Sheldon smiled.
"Are you a doctor?" The father asked.
"Yes, but not the kind you're thinking of." Sheldon replied. "I have a PhD in Theoretical Physics."
"Wow! I'm a biologist myself." The father was now saying; "I work at the Dolphin Neurobiology facility just up there." He pointed to Amy's workplace. "I took the day off to celebrate my daughter's birthday."
"Oh, well happy birthday!" Sheldon smiled at the little girl.
Alicia smiled. "Thank you sir."
"If you work at the facility, then you must know my wife? Amy Cooper. She started there last month; she's temporary." Sheldon inquired.
"As a matter of fact, I do!" The man replied. "She's wonderful at her job, and a lovely person. You must be Sheldon?"
Sheldon nodded. "I am."
"Amy speaks of you a lot. She thinks the world of you!"
Sheldon smiled, proudly.
"And congratulations on your wedding last month. Will you be having children next?" The man asked, as Alicia and her mother chased the dog along the beach, hand in hand.
Sheldon spotted them, and pictured Amy running along the beach with their own little girl; her dark hair flying out behind her.
He swallowed. "I think so, yes."
The man smiled. "Children really are a blessing. Would you believe that I once used to believe that science was the be-all and end-all of everything? I thought that love was pointless and that children would ruin my life and my work. Then I met Emily…She changed me. And so has Alicia." The man was beaming now, staring at his wife and daughter.
Sheldon stared at him, astounded.
It was almost like he was looking at himself in the future!
"I used to be the same until recently." Sheldon admitted, "Amy is changing me. It feels so strange to experience all of these feelings and emotions. At first I tried to push them away, but…I just couldn't. Then I realized that I was in love."
"You and I are the same, Sheldon." The man was saying. "Perhaps you and Amy would like to meet for a drink soon?"
"Well, I don't drink alcohol except for special occasions, but I understand that you are referring to the social convention of 'meeting up for a drink'?" Sheldon asked.
"I used to be the same! It's amazing…I never thought I'd meet anyone like me! And yes, I mean the social convention." The man smiled.
"We'd love to." Sheldon accepted.
"Great! I'll swap numbers and give you a call." The man smiled, as he and Sheldon exchanged phones to type their numbers in, before returning them.
"I'm David Renson, by the way." He held out his hand, which Sheldon apprehensively shook.
"Sheldon Cooper."
"I'll speak to you soon Sheldon…And remember; a child will change your life for the better." David smiled as he walked away, re-joining his family.
Sheldon watched them walk away, holding hands with each other and the little dog skipping beside them, and nodded silently, making a decision.
..
That weekend, Sheldon still wasn't his normal self.
Amy noticed that he was almost too interested in having sex with her.
Every time, he wanted to go unprotected, but Amy insisted upon Sheldon wearing a condom every time now.
He was acting so strange and so sad, that Amy was growing concerned.
"Sheldon, are you sure you're okay?" She asked.
"Of course." He insisted.
"Remember that we're having drinks with David and Emily tonight." Amy reminded him.
"I always remember." Sheldon replied.
Amy bit her lip, and rummaged in a drawer, before heading to the bathroom.
Moments later, Amy returned, dressed in a black negligee.
Sheldon caught sight of her, and his eyes widened.
"You like, Dr Cooper?" She purred.
He swallowed. "I like very much!"
Amy sauntered sexily towards him, and took his hand, leading him to the bed, pushing him backwards and straddling his lap, and kissing him feverishly.
"When did you get that?" Sheldon asked, nodding at the negligee.
"I paid a visit to Victoria's Secret after work yesterday." Amy replied, fiddling with Sheldon's belt and unbuckling it.
Sheldon leaned up, grazing Amy's lips with his, and pulled her head down for a full kiss.
Amy had totally removed his pants now, and was rubbing his erection through his underwear.
Sighing with arousal, Sheldon pulled his own underwear off, and lifted Amy on top of him so that he was inside her, thrusting in and out.
"Um…Sheldon?"
He looked up at Amy.
"Condom?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Oh…Of course." He said, half-heartedly, withdrawing and finding a condom, taking it out of the foil and rolling it on.
He re-positioned himself and pushed his length in again, as Amy took off the negligee and exposing her naked body.
"Your turn." She breathed, pulling Sheldon's shirts off over his head as he rocked Amy back and forth by her hips on top of him.
Amy leaned down and kissed Sheldon's neck and nibbled his earlobe, before she leaned up on her knees, and moved up and down so that Sheldon's erection was almost all the way out, and then down again so that she engulfed him completely.
That drove him wild.
"Oh Lord Amy…" He breathed, "That's so good!" He was moaning loudly now, as he felt himself getting close.
Amy was also moaning loudly, and Sheldon felt her tighten as she released, triggering Sheldon's own release; pumping into the condom before coming to a total stop, regaining his breath.
"Oh wow…Amy…" He breathed, pulling her down for a kiss, before moving his mouth to her breast, and flicking his tongue against his nipple, lowering his hand to pleasure her.
"Sheldon, I've already…"
"Shh, please let me…" Sheldon silenced her, as he rubbed a finger against her wetness, feeling her come again.
Drawing his hand away, Sheldon wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her. "Thank you."
"What for?" Amy asked.
"For the coitus."
"Oh, you're welcome. Did it cheer you up?"
"Sort of…" Sheldon said.
"Only 'sort of'?" Amy asked, sadly.
"Only because I still feel a little disappointed about…Well."
"Oh Sheldon." Amy looked at him sympathetically. "We will one day."
She got up to change and clean up, as Sheldon took off his condom, tying up the end and disposing of it in the trash.
Once Amy returned from cleaning herself up, Sheldon blurted out: "What if we get a dog first?"
Amy stared at him. "A dog?"
"Yes. A small dog...Big ones scare me! "
"But, why a dog?"
"Because if we can deal with the demands of a small dog, then we can know if we're ready for a baby."
"But Sheldon…The dog will need feeding, space for its own bed, you need to clean up the dog poop and taking for walks…" Amy frowned.
"Yes…Much like a…"
"Like a baby." Amy nodded. "You have a good point. But we'll have to wait until we get back to Pasadena; we can't very well keep the dog here."
"But that's 3 months and three weeks away! I can clear it with the hotel staff. I'm working from here, so I'll have time to look after it. Plus, dogs are easy to fly inter-state." Sheldon said. "If it goes well…Then maybe we can…"
Amy smiled. "Okay. Let's do it!"
Sheldon grinned and hugged his wife. "Great! I love you Amy!"
"I love you too." She replied, hugging him tighter.
