The Girls' Night Intervention- All good things come to an end or do they?

Their alarm clocks rang respectively at 6 a.m. but both were already wide awake, staring at the ceiling, each on their side of the bed but holding hands under the covers. Sheldon reached over to turn his off and Amy did the same.

"Sheldon?" she whispered.

"Hmm…" he said, still staring upwards.

"Do you want to discuss last night?" she asked wearily.

Sheldon thought for a moment about the amorous activities that 'rocked his world' last night.

Amy was beautiful, from the way her eyes sparkled to her soft, smooth skin to the way she patiently guided him without sounding vulgar. The way she moaned his name as she reached her climax, the way he moaned her name as he reached his. The way he felt a shock of immense pleasure overcoming him throughout the night. It was all surreal for him but definitely worth waiting for. She was his, all his till death parts them- unless he could figure out a way around that one. And sure, the first time was clumsy and rather awkward but by the end of third time that night, he felt as if he had been doing it his whole life because it seemed so natural with Amy. What he mocked others for enjoying so much now made him feel embarrassed. He was a scientist and should have kept an open mind to allow for new experiences. His hypothesis of such an act being off-putting had been rendered moot. A good scientist should know to test a hypothesis before considering it a theory. Boy, he was off on this one.

"Like I said, it would be magical," he finally confessed.

"I thought so too," she said sheepishly, her cheeks turning a bright pink.

Then there was silence again. She squeezed her eyes tight against the barrage of emotions hammering her head. Amy recalled the night's events. His smooth skin freckled by little brown moles here and there. A little patch of hair on his chest which tickled her skin as he covered her body with his. The way he kissed her softly and torturously slow. His blue eyes that turned dark with desire as they were making love. But what struck her, despite the awkwardness, was his quiet confidence with which he handled the situation. She was absolutely, crazily, unexplainably in love with this man.

"Good," he replied softly as he turned his head in her direction. She turned her head as soon as she felt his breath on her skin.

"So, what do we do now?" she asked.

"I suppose we have to go to work and then we have to start procedures on the house before anyone else tries to buy it, but first…we should take a shower," he said rationally. "Would you like to take a shower with me?" he added.

"I would," Amy replied. "But what if Leonard comes back?"

"I suppose he is going to find out sooner or later and it's not something he hasn't done before. He has broken this rule so many times himself that I have given up counting. Besides, it will give them something to really gossip about this time," he said with a wink.

"I like the way you think, Dr. Cooper," she said coyly.

"I know, that's why you fell in love with me to begin with," he replied playfully.

"Yes, yes it is."

Sheldon put on his robe and let Amy wear his pajama top and they headed for the bathroom. After their G rated shower, they went back to his room and dressed, then made their way to the kitchen for breakfast only to find Leonard already there, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"Good morning Leonard," Sheldon spoke in a chipper manner.

"Good morning Shel…" and stopped when he saw Amy walking right behind Sheldon.

"Good morning Leonard," Amy said politely.

"Um…good morning indeed!" Leonard exclaimed still flabbergasted. "Had another sleepover? Where's the fort?" he asked teasingly.

"Leonard, we are all adults here, there is no reason to build a fort every time if we want to sleep together," Sheldon pointed out.

"Ah- ha…just sleep?" Leonard continued teasing.

Sheldon and Amy gave each other a knowing look and smiled. Leonard caught on quickly to what really happened since both were bad at hiding things, especially Sheldon.

"NO!" he exclaimed, taking turns looking at each of them standing there with wide goofy grins.

Sheldon and Amy though kept staring at each other as if they were the only two people in the room, probably…on the planet, paying no attention to their bespectacled friend, who was grinning brightly at the sight.

Leonard shook his head in amazement but then something shiny caught his eye. It was a beautiful diamond on a gold band studded on Amy's finger.

"Sheldon…" he started.

"Hmm…"

"Why is Amy wearing a diamond ring?" he purposefully questioned already knowing the only logical and possible answer.

Sheldon turned his head abruptly.

"That's quite an invalid question Leonard. I'm surprised at you," he responded shaking his head disdainfully.

"With you, everything is possible. You bought your girlfriend a tiara!" Leonard mused.

"Yes, Leonard. It's what you are thinking. I asked Amy to marry me and we are doing so at the end of November," he stated frankly.

"This November?" Leonard questioned but it sounded more like an exclamation.

"Yes, Leonard. There is no reason for us to delay it, is there?" Sheldon asked as he turned to get Amy's approval. They had determined the month but never really discussed the year. Now Amy knew as well and in her mind…the sooner, the better.

"No, I actually have had everything planned for about two years," she revealed to him. "All I have to do is make some calls after you have approved of my choices and we are ready. I'll send you a PDF," she smiled as she patted his arm.

"What?" Sheldon asked in surprise.

"You said you loved my preparedness," she replied, defending herself.

"I do," Sheldon said, letting out a short breathy laugh.

Leonard was still standing there in awe, holding his mug in mid-air. Sheldon turned to his friend, "This is why I wanted to know when you and Penny were thinking of setting a date. I didn't want the wedding dates to coincide. How awkward would it be if my best man was not available to be my best man?"

"You want me to be your best man?" Leonard said pointing to himself, sounding deeply touched.

"Well, of course. You are not only my roommate but my best friend as well. It's only logical I would ask you," Sheldon explained.

"Well, I'd be honoured. Thank you Sheldon," he said as he approached him extending his hand for a friendly shake. Sheldon though decided he could afford to give his best man an awkward hug instead.

"Amy, I don't know how you managed to soften him up…but well done," Leonard wheezed as he was being crushed by Sheldon.

Amy just chuckled at the sight.

After Sheldon let go, the couple grabbed a quick breakfast and Amy asked Leonard to take Sheldon to work. There was one more stop she had to make before heading off to work.

Amy waltzed over to Penny's and knocked on the door. With her new career, she knew Penny would be awake at that time.

Penny knew it wasn't Sheldon by the type of knock and Leonard has keys so it astonished her when she looked through the peep hole to see Amy's face bearing a huge grin.

She opened the door but before Penny could ask, Amy held up her left hand showing off the rock.

"OH MY GOD, AMES!" was all Penny could say and immediately gave her a big hug, swaying her left and right. Now Amy knew what Sheldon had felt like all these years when someone hugged him like a crazy person, but she did enjoy seeing Penny's excitement.

"Come in…this is HUGE!" Penny shrieked.

"Only for a minute because I have to get to work," Amy said trying to downplay her ebullience or else they would be there all day; not that Amy wouldn't enjoy it, but she had important things to do at the lab that just couldn't be postponed.

"Amy! Whackadoodle proposed?" still not believing it.

"Last night," she boasted, "and that's not all he did…" Amy said leaving the rest to be implied by wiggling her brows.

"NO!" Penny exclaimed again.

"Oh yes!" Amy bounced back.

"This calls for an extra special girls' night!" Penny gushed.

"I can't tonight. Sheldon and I have plans," Amy said a little disappointed as this was something she really wanted to gloat about. It would be the first time Amy could actually participate in a real girly conversation but she knew there were other things that took precedence.

"Oh, I bet you do!" Penny chorused, giving her arm a tight squeeze. "Well, let me know when you are available and I'll set it up," she added.

"Oh, does Leonard know?" Penny wondered.

"He's the best man," Amy beamed at her.

"And me?" Penny poked around curiously.

"Need you ask?" Amy responded.

"Oh, Ames! I'm so happy for you!" she said bringing Amy in for another hug. "Now get going before you are late for work and we'll definitely talk about this later."

"Thank you bestie, I'll call you," Amy replied waving her hand as she left. Of course, Amy was sure that before she even made it to the first floor, the whole group would be up-to-date and the feeling couldn't be sweeter.

Everything Amy had dreamt of, everything she wanted, which for years, she had reluctantly put in the back of her mind never to be thought of again, was coming true. She finally had it all: a man who loved her for who she was… quirks and all, a great group of odd-ball friends, a successful career and soon enough a house. She definitely had a bright future ahead.

The only thing she wished now was that she could go back and tell her teenage self that everything, would indeed, work out perfectly.
