Author's note: The series resets with this episode. Remember that as this story progresses, many times they resume the storyline as if never having sex before with each other. So is the case in this episode
One of my readers requested adding pictures of the new characters, but this is not allowed by Literotica. When a new character is introduced, I will put in parenthesis the character's real name so you can look them up on the internet.
The group is eating Chinese food, Howard has his robot hand there and he has it programmed to take all of the food from the bags.
Penny arrives and looks on, "What's that?"
Howard explains what it is and demonstrates by passing her the soy sauce.
Sheldon speaks up, "You realize Penny that the technology that went into this arm will one day make unskilled food servers such as yourself obsolete."
Penny gave him a pout and replied, "Really? They're gonna make a robot that spits on your hamburger?"
Sheldon looked to Leonard, "I thought you broke up with her? Why is she here?"
While they are eating Sheldon gets a text, he picks it up and reads it, "Oh, Amy's at the dry-cleaner's and she's made a very amusing pun. Ahem, "I don't care for perchloroethylene and I don't like glycol ether." "Get it? She doesn't like glycol ether. Sounds like "either." "I'm going to give her an L-O-L!"
Penny turns to Leonard, "Who's Amy?"
"His girlfriend."
"Sheldon has a girlfriend?"
Sheldon butts in, "She's not my girlfriend."
She ignores him, "How long has this been going on?"
"Four Months."
Sheldon reiterated, "She's not my girlfriend."
Penny ignores him again and turns to Leonard, "For four months I have been asking you what's new. And you never thought to go with "Sheldon has a girlfriend?"
Again Sheldon breaks in, "She's not my girlfriend!"
She puts up her finger to Sheldon, "Teh, teh, teh!.....How did they meet?"
Howard adds, "Raj and I entered Sheldon's information on a dating site and it spit out Amy Farrah Fowler."
Penny threw up her arms and exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Sheldon and Amy!"
Howard chuckled, "Or as he call them, SHAMY!"
Penny lets out a shriek, "Shamy, I am so digging the Shamy!"
Sheldon is now getting upset, "All right, everyone pay attention. Yes, I have a friend named Amy Farrah Fowler. Yes, she is female. Yes, we communicate on a daily basis, but no, she is not my girlfriend."
He walks to the kitchen and Penny continues, "Okay, well, what do you communicate about?"
"We talk about our field of study and most recently, the possibility of our having a child together."
Penny was taking a drink of water from her bottle and when she heard this, she sprayed it all over the living room.
Leonard turned to Sheldon, "Wait a minute, a child? You never see this girl. You just e-mail and text and Twitter and now you're considering having a baby?"
Sheldon nodded, "Amy pointed out that between the two of us, our genetic material has the potential of producing the first in a line of intellectually superior benign overlords to guide humanity to a brighter tomorrow."
Penny couldn't sit still, she goes over to him, "Okay, I have a question."
"Yes Penny?"
"You don't even like people touching you. How are you gonna have sex?"
He turns looking stunned, "Why on earth would we ever have sex?"
"Oh honey, did your mom not have the talk with you? You know, when your private parts started growing?"
He was taken aback, "I'm quite aware of the way humans usually reproduce, which is messy, unsanitary and based on living next to you for three years, involves loud and unnecessary appeals to a deity."
She takes a step back, "Oh, God!"
He nods, "Yes, exactly. Consequently, if Amy and I choose to bring new life into this world, it will be accomplished clinically, with fertility experts in a lab with Petri dishes. Which reminds me, you have broad hips and a certain corn-fed vigor; is your womb available for rental?"
She stood there with her mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.
Leonard chuckles, "Still digging the Shamy?"
She composes herself, "Look, Sheldon, before you race off to the fertility clinic, you might want to think about, gee, I don't know, maybe actually spending some time with her."
"You mean dating?"
"Yeah!"
"I can't date Amy."
"Why not?"
"She's not my girlfriend."
"Okay, don't think of it as dating a girlfriend. Think of it as, uh, getting to know the future mother of your child."
He started thinking, "Oh, I hadn't considered that. I suppose she will have to have access to our progeny. You don't think I can achieve the required intimacy via test messaging?"
She tips her head and chuckles, "Probably not."
"Hmmm, it would appear as if the phone companies have been lying to me."
Later that evening Sheldon goes and knocks on Penny's door, "Penny, Penny, Penny!"
She opened the door, "You do realize I stand on the other side of the door waiting for you to finish knocking three times."
"I know, I can see the shadow of your feet under the door."
