The Skype Intrusion

The day progressed. Surprisingly, everyone who lost their virginities the night before was handling the morning and day after without undue guilt or awkwardness. They'd enjoyed a cheerful breakfast of crepes, which Sheldon had never had, but since apparently this was his week to be a weirdo, he found yummy. He began to mentally scroll through his breakfast schedule for an item to eject. They had agreed to refrain from amending the relationship agreement until Science week was over.

Because Science Week was drawing to a close, while much had been accomplished, there was more to do. Had Amy not been so obviously sore and moving a bit slowly, Sheldon would have requested sexy naptime. Every time she sat down at her desk, she winced a bit. This struck him as completely unfair. He felt amazing, he got through a huge amount of work in a short period of time, but his wonderful lady was moving like she'd just had a vasectomy (when he was 5… his father… long, explicit and hideous story).

He needn't have worried. Although her inner thigh muscles ached more than the time Penny took her to Xtreme Yoga, although whatever was going on in her lady parts was not nearly as much fun as what caused the problem, she was floating on a cloud of bliss. She wished she was sitting on a cloud of bliss… cuz damn. Ow. But Sheldon was making sure she had snacks, beverages and sweet forehead kisses whenever he passed her.

Best day ever! Best week ever!

Beyond having decided to delay the amendment process, the couple really hadn't discussed what had happened. What was there to say? They were in love, they might be pre-engaged, they had two fun filled sexual encounters and Amy had shown her love through careful decontamination. They were alone.

Until 6pm.

Bernadette pounded on the door, yelling, "Amy, put your clothes on and come over to Penny's! NOW!" her voice wasn't rage filled, but it was commanding, "And Sheldon! Call Leonard. NOW! Wait, set up the WiFi frist!" then the pitter patter of tiny feet was heard stomping across the hallway, followed by a door slam.

"That woman is part wildebeest." Sheldon shook his head, as he obediently typed in the first part of the password that would launch the router, allowing Amy in to punch the second part.

Amy thought for a moment of a way to defend Bernadette, "No. She is more like a bellicose, blond badger." Okay, she hadn't actually defended her friend, she'd just defined her with a greater degree of accuracy. She grabbed her hoodie.

"The fact that I have to call Leonard… Everyone knows." Sheldon made a face.

"Leonard will be supportive. He might be a little smug and gleeful. Just remember, deep down he cares about you a lot. He probably just wants to make sure you are alright." She assured him, popping him on the nose with her finger, "Don't look glum."

"Not glum. Annoyed. We were supposed to have another 36 hours before we have to talk to others, I was hoping to enjoy it." He said. "Go over, before the badger lady comes over to drag you."

He punched in Leonard's number on Skype and instantly the wide face of his friend appeared.

"Hey, buddy…" Leonard grinned, "Having a good week?" he waggled his eyebrows.

Amy entered the apartment without knocking to find herself staring at Penny's giant head on Bernadette's laptop. "Hi, bestie. How's Hawaii?" She asked nonchalantly as she moved toward the sofa. Bernie moved the laptop so Penny could follow her movements.

"Moving kinda slow, huh?" Penny's head bounced with uncontained excitement, as the laptop was set on the coffee table. Bernadette smirked a little.

Throwing her head back against the sofa, "Good, lord!" Amy cried, "Just ask!"

"Did you actually have sex last night?" Bernadette asked, "If so how much, how was it, and what was the Sheldon freak out this morning like?" She bounced in her chair.

"Quit bouncing," Amy ordered, "You'll knock yourself out with those things. The true answer is that all those things are none of your business, but I am sensing that is not the answer that is going to get me out of this apartment." She sighed dramatically, "So, the answers are Yes. One instance of manual/oral stimulation, followed by satisfying penetrative activity. It was wonderful. And the freak out was averted by getting him into the shower as soon as he woke up."

"Genius!" Penny squealed, her head disappeared from the screen as she apparently fell back on the bed, "I AM SO EXICTED FOR YOU GUYS!" She screeched.

Bernadette's hands were in front of her face and her blue eyes were shining with happy tears, "You did it!" She flung herself into Amy's arms, "I am so happy!"

"I am too," Amy said, patting her little friend's back, "I didn't realize it meant that much to you guys…"

"I didn't either," Bernie sniffed, "but it seems as if… I am so happy for you!" she began weeping again. On the other side of the Skype connection, Penny could be heard cheering.

When she returned to the screen, her huge grin and wide crazy eyes, made Amy laugh. "I LOVE YOU GUYS! OF COURSE IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO ME! Bernadette! Get this girl some wine!"

Bernadette chuckled, "And maybe an anti-inflammatory."

"Don't tease me, do you have some?" Amy asked, urgently.

The biologist returned shaking her, "What the hell happened last night?" She handed Amy the wine, before digging into her purse and grabbing out a small baggie filled with three pills, "I took the liberty of putting together a little post virginity loss pill pack. Anti-inflammatory, synthesized cranberry extract and the most advanced sex vitamin ever created."

Penny raised her glass, "Sex vitamin?" she asked.

"Vitamin A, assorted B vitamins, Vitamin C and E?" Amy guessed, "Taken sublingually I presume."

"Of course, or the B-12 wouldn't absorb." Bernadette handed her the baggy, "I take care of my peeps."

Amy popped the two pills, downed them with a sip of wine and put the third under her tongue, "Okay, I actually do have a lot to tell you."

"Yeah, ya do." Penny nodded.

"Actually, the sex is only part of it." Amy smiled, "This week has been amazing. He sort of asked me to marry him."

"WHAT?" Bernadette and Penny screamed in unison. Penny's eyes narrowed, "Sort of?"

"He would like us to spend the next academic year in Switzerland together. He doesn't feel comfortable doing that if we aren't married."

"How romantic." Bernadette said dryly.

Amy missed the sarcasm, "I know! He's been wanting to go for a while now, but he didn't bring it up because he didn't want to take me from my research. I am having some trouble at work, so I may have no choice but to leave. He didn't want to go without me."

"So he didn't propose?" Bernie asked.

"I didn't say he did. Sheldon called it a quasi-proposal and my response a quasi-acceptance." Amy clarified. "Then we went to bed together."

Penny nodded, excitedly leaning into the screen, "Now we are talking!"

"We were just going to go to sleep…" Amy twisted the hem of her hoodie, suddenly shy, "Then I sort of rolled onto his erection…"

Bernadette bit her lip, her eyes wide, "Sort of?"

"I rolled onto his erection." Amy stated, blushing, "To be fair, it was on my side of the bed."

The girls exploded in joyful laughter.

Across the hall, Leonard was handling the questioning more sensitively, "I know this is a huge deal for you."

"It is. But this week just underlined how much we belong together." Sheldon confirmed, then lowered his voice, "I understand why you all go on and on about coitus now, but I don't understand how you could do it with someone who wasn't perfect. What is the point?"

Leonard smiled warmly. Sheldon wondered briefly how much better his life might have been with some like Leonard had been his father. "I am so happy for you two. Really."

"Happy enough to muzzle the others?" Sheldon asked, "They are going to try to make it dirty."

"You had sex. It had to have been a little dirty?" Leonard's warm smile morphed into happy leer.

"It was, but she got me right into the shower as soon as I woke up and then changed the sheets, so it was okay."

"You are a lucky man." Leonard said, smirking happily.

A/N: As some of you know, I believe this show is more about friendship than geekdom or science. And since Bernadette, Penny and Leonard ship the Shamy as hard as we do, they were the first to know.
