Last chapter! I want to thank everyone for reading and saying such lovely comments in the reviews. It means a lot that you've taken the time to support me and my writing! :)

After not hearing anything from Sheldon and Amy, Penny and Leonard decided to find them. First stop: Amy's room.

They were not disappointed, when the door swung open, Amy was stood in her dressing gown and Sheldon was sprawled out over their shared bed, fast asleep.

Penny stuck her tongue into her cheek and smiled, "What do we have here then?"

"Shush! Sheldon's asleep" Amy hastily stepped out into the hallway, shutting the door behind her, "We had a pretty late night"

"What happened?" Penny was ready to burst.

"Nothing, nothing!"

"Come on, we know that's not true. We just saw you and Sheldon sharing a bed!"

"Well you stole his room so you didn't leave us much choice!" Amy retaliated.

"Yeah sure. It was us that made you push the two beds together" Leonard raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Whatever, does this mean you're getting back together?" Penny asked.

"We kinda got back together last night I think"

"What? No Way! Did you…?" Penny began before Amy interrupted.

"No! Nothing like that, we just talked and cuddled. It was nice" She smiled.

Penny squealed in excitement and jumped onto her toes.

"Look, don't make a big deal. I don't want Sheldon freaking out because of you"

"We promise we won't" Leonard agreed, "Why don't you wake him and join us for breakfast?"

Amy agreed and Penny and Leonard left to grab a table downstairs. Amy returned to the room. Sheldon was lying on his back, breathing peacefully. Amy watched him for a while before running her hand through his hair and brushing it back.

"Sheldon…" She whispered, trying to wake him slowly. Sheldon moaned and turned over to face her, but his eyes were still closed.

"Come on. Leonard and Penny are going to meet us downstairs for breakfast" She stroked his arm through the sheets, trying to coax him out of bed.

Instead, Sheldon took the arm out from under the covers and pulled Amy down to lie with him, he nestled into her and held on tight, making sure she couldn't escape.

This was going to be harder than she thought.

Finally they arrived down at the restaurant. Penny and Leonard were sat at a table by the window. They waved as the couple walked over.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Penny asked before taking a sip of tea.

"That is none of your business" Sheldon responded. He pulled a chair out for Amy then sat next to her in his own. Penny raised her eyebrows in a suggestive way towards Leonard who smiled and winked at her.

"So it looks like things are okay with you two" He thought aloud.

"We still have some stuff to talk about I think, but yes, things are good" Sheldon smiled at Amy and rubbed his hand over her thigh. She smiled back and placed her hand on top of his.

"Good" Penny watched the intimate exchange between them, "Well it looks like our plan worked. Still mad?" She beamed and took another sip of tea.

"Oh don't worry, upon returning home, you will have the opportunity to watch a video and lecture, made by me, stating how you shouldn't trick your friends. There will be a test afterwards so I suggest taking notes" Sheldon raised his eyebrows at the couple opposite him.

"He's joking right?" Penny was wary.

"I can never tell" Leonard replied, "But I know I'm scared"

Sheldon gave them one last stare before picking up a menu to share with Amy.

They ordered breakfast and sat chatting whilst they ate.

"So what do you guys want to do today?" Leonard asked, and he soon regretted it as Sheldon began to excitedly list off everything he wanted to do before they had to go home.

Their final day in San Francisco had been wonderful. They had managed to fit in almost everything on Sheldon's list and soon had to make their way to the airport. There was just one last thing left to do.

Sheldon quietly asked if he and Amy could have some alone time so Leonard and Penny stepped back as he turned and took Amy away.

Sheldon took her back up to Golden Gate Bridge.

"Sheldon, what are you doing? Why aren't Leonard and Penny coming?" He had hold of Amy's hand and was pulling her across, he didn't answer her questions and simply continued on. She looked back to see Leonard and Penny at the end of the bridge, standing still and watching them go.

They finally reached the centre of the bridge and turned around to look back at the city. It was dusk, the first few street lamps were beginning to turn on yet the pale pink sunset still peaked through the clouds sending small rays of light bouncing off buildings. It looked magical.

Sheldon and Amy stood in silence, hands on the rails, just watching the world like they had done before.

Finally Sheldon turned towards Amy, he took her hands.

"I love you"

She smiled and squeezed his hands, "I love you too"

Suddenly Sheldon began to sink before her eyes. He lowered himself onto one knee.

Amy was taken aback, she gasped and took a step back.

"Amy" Sheldon began, she smiled and stepped forward again, "This is exactly what I imagined. This is how I planned it, all those months ago when I asked my mother for the engagement ring, when I bought those tickets. I know things haven't been great recently but I know that it will get better. It can only get better. I will make it better. You make me happy in ways I never imagined and I will strive to make you feel the same way"

Tears were prickling in both their eyes, Amy sniffed and laughed, waiting for Sheldon to continue.

"I know I'm difficult but you're the only person who has accepted me for who I am and helped me to grow. Amy Farrah Fowler you are my whole world. I thought I was happy. I thought I didn't need love but you changed my mind. It may have taken longer than expected but you made your way into my heart and mind and refused to leave" They laughed and sniffed back tears, "I will love you forever and I want to prove it"

He let go of her hands and reached into his pocket, retrieving a little velvet box.

Amy sniffed again, tears were now pouring down her face.

Sheldon opened the box and an antique engagement ring glittered inside.

"Amy Farrah Fowler. Will you marry me?"

She giggled and nodded, "Yes"

He stood, carefully took the ring out of the box and delicately placed it on her finger.

"I love you" Amy cradled his face in her hands.

Sheldon placed his arms around her waist and pulled her in close for a long kiss.

From the side-lines Penny and Leonard could see the two faint silhouettes embracing.

"She said yes" Penny whispered.

A happy ending to finish! Thanks to everyone for sticking with me ;)
