Chuck vs. The Return

They had to get away if they wanted to be together. Even though it broke Chuck's heart to leave Ellie without saying goodbye, it was necessary for him and Sarah to be safe and happy together. He wrote Ellie a letter telling her that he sorry for leaving without saying goodbye but one day he'll be back and he'll make up for leaving.

They decided that they were going to have Chuck leave first and have Sarah pretend that he ran off without her and leave fake clues for the CIA to find and search for him but they wouldn't find him he would be on the other side of the country when they thought they pinpointed him. Sarah decided to leave the CIA, saying that it was to hard to stay with a company destroyed the life of a person she was in love with. The CIA tried to fight her on it but couldn't convince her to stay and with that she retired and traveled for a couple of months making sure that they weren't following her to find Chuck. Once she was sure that they stopped following her, she went and found Chuck and for 3 years they lived happily with fake identities. Sarah was still Sarah and Chuck was still Chuck but their last name wasn't Bartowski anymore it was Marks. Chuck owned his own computer software company and Sarah was the principle at New Jacksonville High in Oregon. They perfectly and utterly happy thinking that life couldn't get better or worse...

The house was dark when Chuck came home from work 'That's weird I know that Sarah's home I wonder why the lights are off...' He walked through the front door and looked around and saw that the light in the bedroom was on so with out saying anything he made his way to the room, thinking that Sarah planned a romantic night for the two of them, but when he walked in he was surprised top Sarah not in some sexy nightgown but sitting on the bed facing the wall in sweatpants.

"Hun, what's wrong?" Chuck asked anxiously while taking three quick steps to her.

"I have something to tell you..." she paused nervously like she wasn't sure if she should continue, but still looking straight at the wall not even glancing toward Chuck, 'Oh God, I hope he doesn't get to upset...' She finally looked into Chuck's eyes and saw that he was worried that something was wrong with her... 'well, Sarah something is wrong with you...'

"So you know how we have been trying to have kids and nothing has been happening, well I went to the doctor's today and found out that there is a very slim chance that I can have kids." Chuck looked at her with a face that she couldn't read and replied,

"What is a slim chance? Like what was the ratio he gave you, one out of a 100, or what?"

"More like one out of a million..." she said moving her gaze to the ground not being able to meet his eyes afraid that she would see the anger or sadness or something she didn't want to see in it. But if she had looked at him she would have seen that the hope that had arisen in his eyes.

"We still have a chance still though right? I mean he didn't tell you that you had a zero chance of having a child..." Chuck said while reaching a hand to her chin and gently moving her head so that he could look at her.

"No, he never said that..." Sarah said still not meeting his eyes still not wanting to see what she thought would be there.

"Sarah, please look at me..." Sarah was ready to fight him on that but since he said please, she couldn't refuse him on that, "we still have a chance then. I remember Ellie telling me once about this doctor who specializes in artificial insemination. She's supposed to be the number one obstetrician in the U.S. we could go see her, I mean its not like we don't have the money for it." Chuck gave her a nervous smile, softly looking into her eyes. Sarah realized that this is one of the reasons she fell in love with Chuck, he was always hopeful and caring about her.

"When did you and Ellie talk about pregnancy? I mean that's not quite the normal conversation you two have." She laughed; she could just see Chuck's face when Ellie was talking about it.

"Well, Ellie said that she had gotten to meet her and was just so excited to meet such a famous doctor...it was when she was just a little ole intern." He chuckled himself remembering how excited and bouncy she was telling him the story, God how he missed his sister.

"So do you? Want to try it out I mean?" He asked Sarah trying to hide the hopefulness out of his voice but completely failing, because the truth was he was hopeful, he wanted a child with his wife more than anything in the world, maybe even more than Sarah wanted to have one.

"You know what?" Sarah said just as hopeful, "It can't hurt right? I mean we don't have much hope to begin with, but I guess we could always try this..." she said fading out and just staring at Chuck as he stared right back at her looking lovingly into her eyes. "So where do we find this amazing doctor?" she whispered to him and was surprised when he saw his eyes wince, "What? What is it?" she asked him wondering if she said something wrong.

"Its nothing...just she's in LA..." Chuck then thought of his sister wondering if she was still there living with Devon, if they were happy, or if Morgan and Anna ever ended living together, how basically everyone in his old life had been. He missed them, really and truly missed them, not the whole working at the BuyMore or the missions. He just missed his friends. Sarah looked at him as if knowing what he was thinking and said,

"I know you miss them, but maybe when we get back we can stop by the apartment and see if Ellie and Awesome are still there," she said this while rubbing a hand over his back, "and who knows maybe they'll forgive us for just up and leaving..."

"Forgive us? They have nothing to be angry at you for Sarah, they always loved you, ever since they first met you, but me on the other hand...I'm the one who just left without an explanation or anything, just a small dinky letter." Sarah looked at Chuck again and noticed that tears were welling up in his eyes,

"Hey, they love you, they'll always love you. You're Chuck. One of the sweetest, most caring, and loving men I have ever met in my life. They may be mad but they most certainly will not hate you. I promise you that." Saying that she kissed Chuck passionately and when they pulled away they were short of breath,

"So do you want to try this out? Going to LA and try to get pregnant?" Chuck whispered to her since their foreheads were still together.

"Yes, I want to carry your child Chuck, no matter what it takes, I just want to be a mom." And then looking into his eyes deeply, "I love you."

Chuck smiled, even after three years of them being together he still got a chill over his body whenever she said those three words. He leaned his head towards hers and kissed her deeply.

"I love you too." He replied between kisses.

[Later that night]

Chuck and Sarah lay in bed in each other's arms when Chuck whispered in her ear,

"When we get there, after the doctor's appointment, do you think we could look up Ellie and Devon?"

"Of course we can. Why would you even ask?" she asked confused because she thought that was the plan all along.

"I just thought maybe that it might not be the best idea just incase the CIA or NSA still out there looking for me..." he gave a small shudder just thinking about going back to that life.

"I will not let them get to you Chuck. You are my life now. Without you, I'd be lost, still an agent, and not knowing what an amazing thing I would be missing here with you."

And with that Sarah kissed Chuck soundly on the lips and went to sleep. Dreaming of the family that they could have one day... she smiled and snuggled closer to Chuck.
