It was Sunday morning and Amy Farrah Fowler opened her eyes. The past few days ever since she ended her relationship with Sheldon, sleeping had been her sanctum, the only place she didn't feel hurt. But that night even sleep tormented her. She had dreamt of Sheldon and woke up several times during the night, so she decided to get up and make herself a cup of coffee. She looked at her phone and saw about a douzen missed calls from Penny and Berandette. "Sheldon must have told them about our break-up" she thought. Although she could use the support of her friends these past few days, she couldn't bring herself to talk to them about the break-up yet. She thought that talking about it would make it real, and that would hurt even more.

She didn't fail to notice that there weren't any missed calls from Sheldon. Her ex-boyfriend hadn't tried to contact her since Thursday - not that she expected anything else. Sheldon didn't love her, therefore he wouldn't attempt a reconciliation. All these years he had been with her out of habit, and she thought she could turn habit into love but that wasn't possible. She learnt that the hard way.

She was surprised to hear a knock on her door. Who could it possibly be at 9 in the morning on a Sunday? She suspected that Penny and Bernadette would pay her a visit now that they knew about the break-up, but not this early. Penny didn't wake up before 11 and Bernadette worked hard all week so she liked to sleep in on Sundays.

Grudgingly, she put down her coffee mug and and went to open her door. What awaited her took her breath away. Sheldon Cooper, lean and tall, was standing in her doorway holding a bouquet of red roses. Behind him was a teddy bear, taller than her and twice as wide. She stood there looking at him for a few minutes, mouth wide open, when he decided to break the silence.

"Good morning Amy" he smiled at her "I hope I didn't wake you."

She was so startled she didn't even know where to begin with. Her mouth felt dry and her palms started to sweat.

"Sh-Sheldon" she managed to say at last "Whaa-why didn't you knock three times?"

Somehow this struck her as the most peculiar thing. Sheldon wouldn't just change his pattern.

"Oh I thought you wouldn't answer the door if you knew it was me" he breathed "But now that you mention it..."

*Knock *Knock *Knock "Amy"

*Knock *Knock *Knock "Amy"

*Knock *Knock *Knock "Amy"

"It was killing me...May I come in?"

"No" she said firmly and crossed her arms. His knocking pattern had reminded her of everything that had been wrong with their relationship. "First tell me why you are here"

"I'm here to get you back" he announced.

Oh are you? She got that much from the flowers and the cute beast he had brought, but was he willing to give her what she really wanted?

"Alright, you may come in."

He gave her the bouquet and stragled for a few minutes to get the bear inside her house, as she put the flowers in a vase. The teddy bear was absolutely ridiculous in her opinion, but the flowers were beautiful. This was the most romantic thing Sheldon ever did for her. But it wasn't just romance that she wanted. She wanted love.

As they took their seats she asked him: "So Sheldon, why should I take you back? Make your case! "

Sheldon looked startled. He clearly didn't expect to be put on the spot like this. But he had three days to make up his mind, so she wouldn't accept anything less thatn a heartfelt confession.

"Um..." he muttered "You should agree to renew our Relationship Agreement, um, because you and I are perfect for each other! You are my intelectual equal, and I am yours. I don't understand why you need to complicate things. This is why we started this relationship in the first place."

It was true. She was first drawn to Sheldon because of his mind, but over the years their relationship had evolved beyond that - for her at least. She had fallen in love with Sheldon. She had never felt like this before... She loved him with all her heart and she would do anything for him. She had been patient for years not wanting to pressure him, but spending four months alone thinking about the hurtful things he said to her over and over had caused her patience to run out.

"Is that it?" she asked

"What else do you want Amy? I brought you red roses and a teddy bear, and you know how much I hate gift giving!" he exclaimed

"I don't want gifts Sheldon! I told you what I want the night we broke up. I want to know what you feel about me."

"Amy" he sighed "We are both brilliant scientists. We are not hippies! I've explained why we are compatible using logic and that should be enough!"

"Get out" she said angrily

He made no motion to move and just stared at her. He propably expected that his little speech would change her mind, but it had enraged her even more.

"I said get out" she yelled.

"Fine I'll leave" he said as he got up "Clearly you're in not state to talk right now. We'll talk when you've calmed down."

"Oh I'm done talking to you Sheldon" she opened the door for him "Unless you give me an honest reason why you want me back." she waited for him to talk but he said nothing.

"Uh-ha nothing. Well, you know what Sheldon? I'm a brilliant scientist and I'm not a hippie, but I have no problem to tell you that I love you." she blurted out as she slammed the door to his face.

She didn't mean to say it but she couldn't control herself.

"Oh well" yelled Sheldon from the other side of the door "Do you know how hard it is to get a gigantic teddy bear on a Sunday morning?"

She didn't answer. Instead she went straight back to her room and tried to sleep again. Anything to keep her mind from Sheldon. As she lay there she couldn't help but laugh at the idea of Sheldon dragging an enormous teddy bear around Pasadena. And he did that for her.

There may be hope for Sheldon Cooper after all.
