Author's Note: Just a reminder about this set of stories. It follows canon at least through Opening Night Excitation, then has fast forwarded to an unspecified time where Leonard and Penny have finally moved out and though the show is currently teasing the have-they-again-or-haven't-they mercilessly, in this collection of little snippets the Shamy definitely HAVE and their escapades, or at least references thereto, frequently leave their friends shaking their heads, or squirming in their seats. Hope you enjoy!

Sheldon's Other Birthday

Sheldon watched Amy's alluring posterior swaying seductively in front of him as they climbed all the way to the 4th floor, barely registering the words she was speaking, justifying what she had said at the car as she attempted to drop him off at the curb.

"I'm just saying, you're the one who said you thought you were too tired to go out and celebrate your birthday. Then you said you have an early morning tomorrow. And then you told me you really wanted to finish your paper tonight. You were nice enough to join me for dinner, but now I really should let you go."

Hadn't she realized those were all clever excuses to attempt to get out of celebrating his birthday? But then she had looked at him with her sparkling green eyes and said "pleeeeeease" and he had acquiesced. The things this little vixen could get him to do...

Still, she had promised there would be no friends, no hullabaloo, just the two of them going to dinner; she hadn't even told the waiter it was his birthday to make them sing embarassingly to him, and he loved her for it. And of course there was the fact that, as she had mentioned with a wink, she had purchased a special dress for the occasion. Very special indeed, it turned out, as it had a neckline that reminded him of her prom dress and it was only with great difficulty that he had kept himself from staring at the gentle rise of her cleavage throughout dinner.

These temptations were not new to him, but the strength of them these days still took him by surprise, sometimes. He had been slightly unprepared to find that once they had become intimate, rather than being less affected by seeing little glimpses of her skin, or hints of her figure under the layers she typically wore (now that the mysteries had been revealed, so to speak), he was instead more affected than ever. It seemed once he had seen her naked body, touched it everywhere, had his mouth all over her...well any slight reminder brought his eidetic memory screaming to life and set his mind spinning. Tonight was no different. Last week when Amy had asked what he wanted for his birthday he had had a hard time coming up with ideas. But now he knew exactly what he wanted. He knew very, very specifically, in fact, and his idea did not begin with her having one drink and then leaving him alone.

As they reached the 4th floor Amy turned to face him. "Ok Birthday Boy, like I said, one cup of tea, that's it, ok?" she admonished, doing a terrible job of biting back a smirk.

She had known, of course, that all Sheldon's protests were pathetic attempts to avoid marking his birthday, but she just couldn't let that be. His entrance into the world was the best thing that had ever happened to her and it deserved at least a little festivity, darn it! Besides, unbeknownst to Sheldon, her taking him out had foiled the group's plan to ambush him with pizza, cake and presents. Penny had been disappointed to hear he would be out with Amy so they couldn't force themselves upon him. Besides, Amy's plan was much more fun for both of them. She hadn't missed how Sheldon gulped upon seeing her when she picked him up tonight, nor the way he ogled her in the car when he thought she was concentrating on the road, and attempted to remain gentlemanly and look at her face throughout dinner. It made her feel both beautiful and desirable, and she loved it. And she found his little intake of breath as she bent over to adjust her shoe just as she began ascending the stairs in front of him at Los Robles to be rather encouraging, as was the fact that his respiration rate clearly increased as they climbed, and she didn't think it was from exertion. It was clear he was enjoying her ensemble this evening, and he hadn't ever seen what was under the dress. Yet. Silly man, of course she would stay with him, but she was enjoying playing with him in the meantime.

Instead of replying to her declaration, Sheldon glanced furtively around the landing, cocking his head to ensure he heard no noise from the stairs or especially from 4B. Then he turned back to Amy, returning her smirk. He closed the distance between them in one step, pinning her to the door. Amy had only time enough to take a quick breath in surprise before Sheldon engulfed her, his arms wrapping tightly around her, his mouth claiming hers insistently, his kiss immediately deep and intense. She felt his right arm release her as his hand fumbled with keys, then the doorknob, while his left slid down to grab her behind, pulling her hard to him as the door fell away from her back.

His hungry kiss never faltered as he walked her three steps backward, forcefully closing the door with his foot, then pivoting to push her against it again from the other side. He pressed his pelvis into her, hard, as he grasped her left leg and hitched it up toward his waist, raising her up on the toes of her right foot, eliciting a surprised squeak from Amy.

Sheldon finally pulled his lips from hers, sliding them quickly along her jawline to her ear. "I need you, Amy. Stay with me?" His voice was deep and rough. "Oh god yes..." Amy was about to reply when someone else beat her to it.

"Ahem."

Both Sheldon and Amy froze as they opened their eyes for the first time since entering the apartment. Their eyes met for a moment, mortified. Sheldon lowered Amy's leg before gripping her hand and turning to face their audience which he assumed must be Leonard and Penny. Would they ever stop letting themselves into his home?!
The amorous couple found themselves face to face, yes, with Leonard and Penny. But also with Howard and Bernadette, Raj, Stuart, Emily and Wil Wheaton, who all stood under a bouquet of balloons and a banner that proclaimed HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

For a moment there was only silence before Stuart finally spoke "Um, surprise?"

Author's Note: Yes, we all thought the 200th episode was cute, but I had in mind a little bit of a different type of celebration...maybe next year, huh? :-)
