A/N: Sorry I took so long to update and left you on a cliffhanger…I usually update daily, but I've been swamped by my photography and my coursework. So here's chapter 46, with a smut warning! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

..

Leonard's answer was, of course, a shocked and emotional 'yes'.

After this, Penny had leapt on him and wrapped her legs round his waist and kissed him lovingly.

"Let's take this to my apartment." Penny whispered, as Leonard carried her out of the door and across the hall.

Sheldon and Amy were left standing in the living room, staring at the closed door, shocked.

"You do realize that they're probably over there engaging in coitus." Sheldon said, eventually.

"Uh huh…" Amy replied, her mouth still open in surprise.

Sheldon was looking at her, and she finally noticed.

"What?" She asked.

"Maybe we should…Uh…" Sheldon trailed off.

Amy wasn't responding.

"Amy?"

"Huh? Sorry."

"I was wondering if maybe we should…You know…Have coitus too?" Sheldon asked.

Amy turned to look at him. "Are you sure? We only got back today."

"Yes, besides, our bed needs Christening!" He grinned, taking her hand and leading her into his room.

As soon as they entered, Sheldon started rummaging through his closet, pulling out a tie and putting it on the door handle on the outside, before closing the door again and turning to Amy.

"What's that for?" Amy asked, removing her shoes.

"A little trick Leonard unknowingly taught me a few years ago." Sheldon replied, as he lifted Amy and placed her onto the bed, and he leaned over her, the two of them kissing passionately.

After a moment, Sheldon stopped, frowning.

"Hmm…"

"What's wrong?" Amy asked.

"Nothing…Just that I'm in my own bed now, and these are my own sheets. The past five months that we've been physical, it's been in a hotel room. Now we're at home, and…" Sheldon trailed off as Amy sighed.

"No, don't sigh. That's not me saying no, it's just different…" He said, as he gently caressed Amy's body. "But good different."

Amy's entire body tingled as her husband lightly kissed her lips, face and neck, before kissing her collarbone and then impulsively ripping off her blouse.

He had only intended to rip open the buttons like he'd seen on movies, but he had accidentally managed to rip the entire blouse.

"Oh no! Amy I'm so sorry!" He exclaimed.

"That's okay. It was an old one I wore just to be comfortable on the plane." She replied, taking his face in her hands and planting kisses on his lips.

She moved her hands down his torso and grabbed the bottom of his black Batman shirt, taking it off over his head so that their upper bodies were bare and touching.

Amy could feel Sheldon's erection through his khakis, and began to unbuckle his belt.

Soon they had both removed their clothes, and were down to their underwear.

Sheldon leaned over to his bedside drawer to grab one of his XL condoms that he had unpacked earlier and put in the drawer.

He held it for a moment in its foil, and frowned thoughtfully.

"What do you think?" He asked.

Amy blinked. "Uh…We've used those before. They're fine." She replied, confused.

"No…I mean should we go without? You know…So we can…try again?" Sheldon asked softly.

Amy took a deep breath.

"Unless you still need time, then I'll wear one." Sheldon finished, sensing Amy's hesitation.

"No…I'm just scared in case it goes wrong again." She confessed.

"Me too, but we'll never know if we don't try." Sheldon reasoned. "It's up to you, but I'm not going to give up trying if you don't want me to."

"Put it back." Amy smiled. "I think we should try again."

Sheldon put the condom back in the drawer, and removed his underpants, before removing Amy's and slowly entering her.

Amy wrapped her legs around Sheldon's waist as he propped himself up on his forearms, his lips locked with hers.

They moved in rhythm with each other, their hips grinding together.

They also heard the front door close, and heard Leonard and Penny's excited voices in the living room.

Sheldon pushed himself in deeper, which made Amy moan loudly and then bite her lip before Penny and Leonard heard them.

"Oh God…Sheldon…Go faster." Amy breathed.

As he obliged, Amy had no way of suppressing her moans now as orgasm washed over her, and Sheldon felt her muscles tense and felt her release.

"Do you mind if I try something?" He asked.

Amy shook her head. "Go ahead." She breathed.

Sheldon rolled her over onto her front, in what he had read about in a magazine as 'doggy style', and ran his hand from her backside down to her breasts, and began to massage them.

Increasing his speed and depth again, Sheldon felt Amy release a second time, just ahead of him as he moaned loudly and cried out her name, pumping into her.

The two of them collapsed together on the bed to get their breath back, both sweating.

"Wow!" Amy whispered.

Sheldon bit his lip. "Ah…Um, Amy? Would you mind if I changed the sheets? It's nothing personal, I just…"

"You didn't need to change them in the hotel. Only the first time…" Amy frowned.

"I know; it's just that those sheets belonged to the hotel, but these are mine. I can't explain it, I just need to clean and replace them." Sheldon replied.

Amy blinked. "Oh…Okay."

She stood up and helped Sheldon strip the bed before they both put their clothes back on.

"I will get past that, I promise." Sheldon was saying now.

"I know you will." Amy smiled.

"Once we have put these in the laundry basket and changed the sheets, would you care to shower together?" Sheldon asked. "In our shower?"

"I'd love to." Amy replied. And then it dawned on her. "Oh God! Leonard and Penny came back into the apartment didn't they?"

Sheldon's eyes widened. "How could I forget that?" He bundled up the sheets and opened the door. "Let me check."

He placed the sheets into the laundry basket before checking Leonard's room.

Empty.

Ambling into the living room, Sheldon found the living room and kitchen empty too, apart from Scooby, and a note on the kitchen island.

Sheldon and Amy,

First of all, way to go on your 'coitus' you dirty animals! ;) Yeah, we heard you! Good job!

Second of all, I came back to change; Penny and I have gone to dinner to celebrate our engagement. (Can you believe that!? I still can't.)

Don't wait up!

-Leonard.

Sheldon read the note out to Amy, who burst out laughing. "Whoops!"

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time those two have caught us, remember?" Sheldon raised his eyebrows. "Remember when Penny actually walked in on us, post-coitus?!"

"Oh, that was extremely embarrassing." Amy shuddered. "We also agreed never to speak of it again. I'd have thought with your eidetic memory, you'd remember that!"

Sheldon shrugged and took Amy's hands in his. "I have a question for you…"

Amy frowned slightly. "Okay?"

"Amy Farrah Cooper…Will you do me the honor of showering with me now?" Sheldon asked, mock-seriously.

Amy faked a dramatic gasp. "I thought you'd never ask!"

She allowed Sheldon to lift and carry her to the bathroom.

..

Once the couple had finished their rather intimate shower, they padded into the living room in their bathrobes.

"We need to eat. What do you feel like eating?" Sheldon asked.

"Don't you have a schedule?" Amy asked.

"I used to, yes." Sheldon replied, "But now I just want to eat anything. Intercourse really works up an appetite."

"How about Thai?" Amy suggested, picking up their Thai menu.

"Hmm…You know what? I don't feel like eating Thai." Sheldon wrinkled his nose. "How about Indian?"

"Sounds good to me." Amy nodded.

They made their decisions and called the Indian take out, before seating themselves on the couch to wait for their food to be delivered.

"It feels so weird to be home." Amy said, resting her head on Sheldon's shoulder. "Well…I'm not really home home, but…back in Pasadena."

"We should also Christen the bed in your apartment before you move out." Sheldon said suddenly, "And also maybe the couch…and the kitchen worktops. Speaking of which..." He glanced over to the kitchen island.

Amy raised an eyebrow. "We just had sex twice, you can't still be horny?"

"Let's see…The 'Lenny' are out." Sheldon air-quoted. "I have the apartment to myself, with the exception of my beautiful wife."

Amy giggled like a schoolgirl. "I'm not beautiful…And wait, 'Lenny'?"

"Yes you are." Sheldon replied, "Yes; 'Lenny'. They're not the only ones who can make amalgamated nicknames!" He smiled, kissing Amy. "How about once on the kitchen island before the food arrives?"

Amy stared at him. "Sheldon…No." She laughed, "I'm burning like crazy as it is. How you have anything left in you anyway is beyond me!"

"Really Amy, I thought you would be more shocked at the mention of me being willing to make love to you on a kitchen work surface, you know, because we'd be making it unhygienic."

"Honestly Sheldon, you're so full of surprises these days that they're hardly surprising anymore."

"Oh." He looked downcast.

"No, but in a good way!" Amy insisted, honestly. "I love that you want to try all these new things, but I really am sore."

"Alright. Maybe tomorrow?" Sheldon asked hopefully.

"Nope." Amy replied.

For a moment, Sheldon looked downcast, until Amy finished her sentence; "Tomorrow we'll be dirtying every surface in my apartment!" She purred.

The pair started kissing again, and once they broke away, Sheldon pursed his lips.

"Is something wrong?" Amy asked.

"No…Just that…Well, who knows? We could have conceived tonight." Sheldon replied. "How strange would that be?"

"Very." Amy nodded. "But good strange, right?"

"Of course."
