Chapter 10

His fingertips resting tenderly on her silky smooth skin, Sheldon sprinkled Amy's belly with delicate kisses. Shaking her head, she pointed out "Sheldon, it's only been a few days. There's nothing in there, but a tiny clump of cells".

Sheldon didn't care. Smiling, he replied "Clump of cells or not, that's our baby in there". Taking two handfuls of his hair, she pushed him further down her body, encouraging "Please Sheldon, I need you". Inhaling her arousing scent, he asked "Is it OK, while you're pregnant?"

"Of course it is" she assured him. Reassured, Sheldon inhaled again, her scent driving deep into his senses, then he pressed his mouth against her, his tongue probing and teasing her slick folds, then it was inside her, stroking her walls, tasting the hot wetness, lapping and licking at her, Amy rocking against his mouth, her breathing hitching in her throat, a heavy, deep longing in her loins.

Pulling his tongue from her, he flicked it across her nub, and Amy let out a whimper, then she gasped "Take me now Sheldon". Lifting himself onto his knees, he straddled her legs and stroked himself a few times, Amy staring up at him, the angle making him look larger than normal, then she rolled onto her stomach, pushing her bottom off the mattress.

Sheldon didn't need it explaining. Hooking his left arm around her stomach, he used his right hand to guide himself, pressing his engorged head against her, then he slipped between her folds, and he was in, Amy's hot, slick wetness caressing his length, enveloping him, the heat soaking into him, driving his arousal. Putting his hands on her hips, he pulled her onto him, thrusting forward to meet her, plunging deep into her, then pulling out, before plunging in again.

Each stroke spreading her wide, Amy reveled in the sensation of Sheldon's length stroking her walls, each thrust driving deep into her, tightening the tension deep inside her, his strokes getting faster, his belly slapping against her bottom, then, through gritted teeth, she gasped "HARDER". Taking his hands from her hips, Sheldon reached over her back, and grasped her shoulders, his thrusts becoming stronger and deeper. Ramming herself backward to meet him, seeking deeper penetration, Amy crashed against him, again and again, then she was flat on the bed, Sheldon losing all control, pinning her to the mattress, thrusting against her, Amy begging "Yes, oh God yes, yes, YES, YES", then Sheldon felt her walls tighten around him, her body shuddering under him. Three more strokes and his own muscles tightened. His pulses rolling through his body, he emptied into Amy.

They lay there, Sheldon pressing against her back, their breathing staggered gasps, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Their breathing and pulses finally slowing, Sheldon rolled from her back, to lay on his side, his head on the pillow beside her. Her face in the pillow, her voice muffled, she declared "God, that was amazing". Rolling onto her side, to face Sheldon, she kissed him, tasting herself on his lips, then she broke the kiss and breathed "I love you".

Wandering into the living room, dressed in bathrobes, their hair wet and messy, Sheldon gently sat Amy on a stool by the kitchen island, and, taking down two mugs, began making tea.

Twisting her head round, Penny peered over the back of the couch, a grin a mile wide on her face, Making eye contact with Amy, she winked. Blushing, Amy apologized, "Sorry about the noise".

"It's OK" Penny assured her, "me and Leonard have disturbed Sheldon often enough".

"You have indeed" Sheldon confirmed, "and, by the way, it's 'Leonard and I', not 'me and Leonard' ".

Taking a drink of tea, Amy asked "So, Sheldon, who should we inform first?" Sheldon considered for a moment, then said "My mother. Best get the difficult one out of the way". Poking his head over the back of the couch, "Leonard declared "That should be an interesting conversation." Grinning, he asked "Please can I be there when you tell her? Oh please let me be there."

"It won't actually be face to face" Sheldon explained, "I'll Skype her". Turning back to the TV, Leonard frowned and rolled his eyes, "Spoilsport".

Lifting the screen on the laptop, Sheldon opened the Skype program and went to dial his mother's computer, but Amy interrupted "Sheldon wait". His finger poised over the key, he gave her an expectant look, then Amy informed him "We haven't got a date for the wedding".

Making a quick mental calculation, Sheldon asked "Can you be ready in 7 weeks?" Amy gave him a questioning look, "Why 7 weeks?"

"Because" Sheldon replied "just over 7 weeks from now, is May 24th, the anniversary of the day we met." Amy thought for a long moment, her eyes focusing on nothing in particular, her thoughts on that first meeting in the coffee shop. "We'll be ready" she assured him, nodding and smiling, "Now we'd better call your mother".

The Skype seemed to ring forever, and Sheldon was about to hang up, when Mary's face appeared on the screen. "Hello Shelly" she said, pushing a loose strand of hair over her ear, "to what do I own the pleasure?" Swallowing, Sheldon ploughed straight in "I have news mother. Amy and I are engaged". Mary considered him, then asked "So when's the wedding?"

"May 24th" Sheldon confirmed. Mary smelt a rat. "That's only about 7 weeks" she declared, "what's the rush?"

Sheldon's mouth twitched, and Mary knew there was something he wasn't telling her. She gave him a look that bored into him, and Sheldon swallowed hard. "W-well m-mother" he stammered, "the other news is, you're going to be a grandmother".

Crossing her arms, a disapproving look on her face, Mary asked "You mean again? I'm already a grandmother, remember?"

"Yes" Sheldon confirmed, forcing himself to maintain eye contact, "again. Amy is pregnant". Shaking her head slowly, Mary frowned, "You've sinned? May the Lord forgive you."

Taking a slow, deep breath, Sheldon gathered all the confidence he could muster. Raising his voice, he declared "Call it whatever you like mother, the fact is, I love Amy, I'm going to marry her, and we're having a baby together".

"Oh well" Mary replied, "no point crying over spilt milk. What's done is done. I'll speak to the reverend this afternoon, and book the church".

"That won't be necessary" Sheldon confirmed, "we're getting married here in Pasadena". Shaking her head, Mary challenged "Absolutely not. You're getting married in the church here, just like me and your father, and our parents before us".

Sheldon felt like a naughty child, being told off by his teacher, but he knew he had to make a stand, or spend his married life taking orders from his mother. Raising himself to his full height on the stool, he cleared his throat, and, raising his voice, began "Mother, we're getting married here, and that's an end to it!"

Mary sat there, staring at the computer screen, her mouth open. Sheldon had never raised his voice to her before, and she was taken aback. She'd tried intimidating him, and that had failed, so now she tried threats. "Shelly" she glowered, "if you don't get married here in Galveston, then I'm not attending".

"Fine" Sheldon replied, his jaw fixed, "Attend or don't, it's not going to change anything. I'll send you an invitation anyway". Mary opened her mouth to reply, but the screen was already closing on Sheldon's Laptop. They sat there for a long moment, then Amy ventured "Are you sure about this Sheldon? We could move the wedding to …", but Sheldon cut in, "No. It's not fair on your mother, Leonard, Penny, or any of our other friends".

Leonard was gob-smacked. "I can't believe you just told your mother that?" Sheldon nodded, barely able to believe it himself, "Yes. I'm not having Amy, her mother, and all of you, traveling all the way to Texas, just to accommodate my mother".

Swallowing her mouthful of tea, Penny told Sheldon "I'm proud of you.", then she asked "Do you think your mother will change her mind?" Sheldon shrugged, "I don't know. She can be pretty stubborn, when she wants to be." Penny glanced at Leonard, her eyebrows rising, the thought "Pot calling the kettle black" crossing her mind.

Changing the subject, Penny asked "So, where are you getting married? Church? City Hall?" Glancing at Sheldon, Amy replied "Actually, we rather thought, given the time of year, outdoors, maybe in the park." Smiling at Sheldon, she continued, "And that's what we need to talk to you about."

Cutting in, Sheldon explained "We'd rather like one of our friends to perform the ceremony." Breaking eye contact, Sheldon glanced at his cup of tea, "trouble is, you can't be Best Man, or Maid of Honor, and perform the ceremony." Leonard asked, "You want us to choose?" Amy looked embarrassed, "Yes. We can't decide, so we thought we'd let you choose."

"Well" Penny mused, "If I have to choose, I think I'd rather be Maid of Honor, than perform the ceremony." Leonard considered for a moment, and confirmed "Yep, me too". Sheldon replied "Then I guess it's Raj".

Swallowing down the last of his tea, he announced "Now, if you'll excuse us, we need to inform Amy's mother".

Opening her laptop, Amy dialed her mother's laptop. It rang a few times, then Barbara Fowler answered, the sound of a radio, playing low in the background.

Grinning nervously, Amy told her mother "Mother, Sheldon and I are engaged, and we're having a baby". Stifling a frown, Mrs. Fowler asked "So, when Sheldon said he was 'making love to your vagina', he wasn't lying?"

"Actually" Amy confessed, "He was, as was I, when I said he was my boyfriend, but now it's true. We've been in a physical relationship, for a few months now".

A few seconds passed in silence, then Barbara Fowler gave them a small smile, "I can't say I'm ecstatic, at you putting the cart before the horse, but what's done is done. As long as you're happy, I'm happy for you".

Glancing at Sheldon, Amy confirmed "We are happy, and thank you for understanding. I'll put the invitation in the post".

Closing the laptop, Amy stood and, picking up the spatula from the counter, asked "Everyone OK with eggs and bacon?" Glancing at Leonard, Penny acknowledged his confirming nod, and replied "Sure, eggs and bacon sounds perfect".

Watching Amy prepare breakfast, while Sheldon drank his tea at the kitchen island, Penny realized she was looking at two of the happiest people on earth. Only one person stood in the way of Sheldon and Amy's complete bliss, and she knew then, that she and Leonard had to tackle that fly in their friend's ointment.
