A/N: As promised I am trying to get these out a bit quicker. The chapters were written in advance so I am hoping they don't feel rushed. This one has no Shamy. Let's see what the gang is up to this time around. Shamy will be back. I have some big things planned for them.
I don't own it nope not at all
Monday evening in Pasadena, the five remaining members plus the newest addition met in 4A for dinner. As usual they ordered Thai food.
"So have you guys thought about a date for your wedding? Raj asked Penny and Leonard while they were settling in.
"We were thinking in about a year. I want my brother to be there, but since he is in jail right now we have to wait for him to get out." Penny answered.
"That's nice." Bernadette said.
"Do you have any ideas as to where you want to have it though?"Raj asked.
"We haven't really thought about it. Although I have made us some appointments to look at places this week. Without a firm date it is hard to book a place. We do know we want the wedding to be small. We want just immediate family and some friends. No more than 75 people."
"Are you having a church wedding?" Bernadette asked. "My mother was really upset we didn't have ours in a church."
"Yeah that may have given my mother the heart attack that would have killed her. Why didn't we do it in a church again?" Howard joked.
"Yes well, no church wedding for us." Penny answered. "The only one of us I can see getting married in a church is Sheldon. But that would be for his mother."
"As if he will ever get married." Howard laughed.
"Howie!" Bernadette yelled at him.
"Come on Bernie, you have to admit it seems unlikely that Sheldon will ever be getting married."
"If I had asked you a year ago if he would be traveling alone with his girlfriend, what would you say? And aren't you the same guy who convinced me that he would go away for Valentine's Day? I am still finding Lego pieces from that damn R2D2."
"You're right. But let's think about this logically. If he and Amy were to get married, they would have to have sex. Amy is not going to be okay if he denies her that during marriage. So I will say it again, Sheldon will not get married."
"How do you know they aren't having sex already?" Emily weighed in on the conversation. She didn't know Sheldon or Amy really at all as she met them both once, but some things are easier to see when you are an outsider.
"Listen, Emily, I know you don't know Sheldon or Amy but let me tell you about Sheldon. He is a germaphobe. He also can't stand to be touched. In sex there is a lot of touching. I just don't see them ever doing it."
"I may not know them, but I know what I saw. I was observing the other night while you all had your FaceTime with them. They seemed awfully close. They were holding hands and at one point I saw his hand move to her thigh. If they aren't doing it now, they will be soon. They looked like they were in love to me."
"See it is not just me who says they are in love." Raj weighed in.
"Look I know she loves him and he cares for her a lot but love? I'm not so sure." Leonard spoke up.
"He told her." Penny said.
"WHAT?!" The entire group yelled at once.
"When?" Asked Bernadette.
"How do you know?" Raj asked second.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Leonard asked her.
"Because everyone says I can't keep a secret and that I butt in too much in their relationship. Amy told me the other night when I spoke to her briefly. It was the same night Mary Cooper showed up on your doorstep." She said.
"Okay, we know you can keep a secret, but this is huge." Bernadette said. "When did it happen?"
"She told me he told her on Wednesday night. She said he told her really kind of nonchalantly. It just came out in general conversation. They discussed it for a while. And now they know. It was so sweet. I really wanted to tell you all. Now it seems like a good time."
"Wow." Leonard said. "I knew he cared for her more than he ever expressed to me, but I never thought he would tell her he loved her. Actually I never thought he would ever express his feelings toward her."
"I think it is sweet." Bernadette said.
"It's so, so beautiful." Raj was in tears.
"Geez, I didn't know he had it in him." Howard said.
"Well I guess it explains why they don't want us involved in their relationship. They know on their own how they feel without us telling them and giving them advice about everything. I know we have asked Amy countless times if he was worth it." Bernadette admitted.
"Bernadette's right, we need to back off. I have tried pushing Sheldon into admitting his feelings more often than not and now that we know he has actually expressed them to Amy, we should stay out of it. That means no more jokes." He looked right at Howard.
"Alright, alright I can lay off the guy." He said to them. "I guess this means he isn't a robot after all."
The group glared at him.
"Well at least let me get it out of my system before he gets back." He laughed.
"Fair enough, but no more." Raj said to him.
"Okay, no more." Howard agreed. "Now do we think they have done it?"
"I don't want to have this conversation." Leonard said. "I don't really care if they did or they didn't plus and I can't stress this enough I don't want to know. It is not our business."
"Yeah I agree." Raj said.
"Fine I don't care either. So does anyone know how the conversation with the mothers went yesterday?" Howard asked.
"I spoke with Mary after and she seemed satisfied with their talk. She said they answered most of the questions they had. However I wasn't sure it was going to start out good when I left the two of them alone in the living room." Leonard said.
"Why what happened?" Bernadette asked him.
Leonard told them about the screaming match between Mrs. Fowler and Mary.
"Mary implied Amy was some kind of harlot? I don't believe it." Bernadette said shocked.
"She did but Mrs. Fowler was dishing it out about Sheldon too. She kept saying that he was controlling Amy and he just wanted to keep her all to himself. I stopped them before it got out of hand, but they were really upset with each other. Mrs. Fowler seemed content enough when she left, although I did hear her muttering something about a big mistake. I'm not sure if she was talking about Sheldon or something else. Mary did tell me something that surprised me though."
"What was that?" Raj asked.
"Apparently Sheldon and Amy have decided to get rid of the Relationship Agreement."
Howard spit out his water. "I'm sorry I think I misunderstood you. Did you just say they got rid of the Relationship Agreement?"
The rest of the group looked stunned.
"I'm sorry, what is the relationship agreement again?" Emily asked.
Raj quickly explained it to her.
"And they got rid of it?" She asked again.
"That's what Mary said." Leonard answered.
"Wow that's big. Did she give any reasons as to why they decided to do that?" Bernadette asked him.
"She said something about the fact they had violated many of the things in it this week alone. They seemed okay with not having it."
"Violating it how?" Penny asked.
"They wouldn't tell. Amy said it wasn't any of their business."
"That confirms to me they are having sex." Howard said.
"Howie!" Bernadette once again yelled at him.
"Now wait, I think I agree with him on this one. If it was just a simple matter of hand-holding and kissing, why wouldn't they just say that? I think they broke it big time." Raj agreed.
"Well we won't know unless they tell us." Bernadette said. "We will not interrupt their trip again. If they get back and want to share, then we will find out. Does everybody agree?
"Yes." They all said at once.
They all then enjoyed their dinner and parted ways. They agreed to meet at the Cheesecake Factory the following evening for dinner. They still were following the schedule that had been laid out by Sheldon.
A/N: It was short I know. But I think the gang realizes the Shamy needs to be left alone. We will see. The gang will be figure in big time in a few more chapters. Next up...the trip to South Dakota.
