Morning came with no resolve, just mixed emotions and aching hearts. Sarah’s day started earlier than usual, she had already awakened and finished her normal morning routine before heading out to work.
Bailey knocked and opened Sarah’s door only to find her gone. She knew she left early to avoid talking about last night. Bailey heard Sarah return and the heartbreaking sound of her crying herself to sleep.
Across the way there was a knock on Chuck’s door, after a few more Ellie walks in and sees her brother lying limp and pail like death, his eyes are red with circles around them as he just looks up at the ceiling. He hadn’t slept a wink.
Ellie: CHUCK!!! (She bellowed to get him out of his trance.)
A small groan of acknowledgement was all she heard coming from his pasty corpse.
Ellie is very concerned for his health as she sits on the bed next to him and checks for a fever and vital signs.
Ellie: Chuck...sweetie what's wrong?? You’re scaring me a little.
Chuck starts to laugh in a slightly sinister way.
Chuck: you know what sis, i'm beginning to scare myself! Nothing I do in my relationship is right anymore, its like Sarah feelings are so distant and out there that the twilight zone is afraid to go near them!
Ellie: Ok, slow down and rewind so I can catch up.
Chuck lets out a sigh as he sits up in bed trying to find the words to describe last nights messed up situation.
Chuck: After dinner I took Sarah to the beach so we can start discussing things about our future and the baby.
Ellie: ok, I am with you so far.
Chuck: I was holding her in my arms looking out over the water when she said she liked being there like that. It made me feel good that she would say that so I asked her if she was happy about this baby, even though it was very unexpected.
Ellie:. And what did she say?
Chuck: she said yes and that it was something she had often thought about, starting a family and stuff.
Ellie: this all sounds like good things, what is the bad part?
Chuck: the bad part is, we started kissing and one thing leads to another and...
Ellie: eeww, ok we can keep this at a PG rating please!
Chuck: I was looking up at her and I was just.... Lost in her eyes, those deep... Blue... gorgeous eyes that without thinking I asked her to marry me, and ah...she said no!
Chuck hung his head as the feelings came roaring back.
Ellie: Oh Chuck I’m sorry.
Chuck: No its my fault I pushed her to fast. I want to have that emotional security with her but she is not ready for that big of a commitment yet. She has to may emotional barriers she needs to work through and all I can do is wait.
Ellie looks at her brother with sad eyes as she pats his head. " You two didn't break up did you?"
Chuck: I don't know where our relationship stands, last night we couldn't figure out what to say to each other and now I don't think she wants to speak to me!
Ellie: what makes you think that?
Chuck: because she sent me this text message not to call her today so she can think.
Ellie: Just give her some space, she loves you, she just has a lot on her plate right now!
Chuck: I guess.
Ellie: try not to think about it and worry about other things!
Chuck: Like what? What can be more important than the woman I love and my child she’s carrying?
Ellie: that's it right there, think about what your going to do for the baby and its future! Do you really think that you are going to be able to provide for Sarah and the Baby making 11 bucks an hour working at the Buy More?
Chuck: I don't know, I never really thought about it.
Ellie: well maybe you need to start. Start thinking of going back to school and finishing your degree, then maybe getting a job that's a worth going to everyday! You need to break away from the life you have now and focus on the life you need to have to provide for a family. Your days of slacking off are over little brother, time to grow up and get serious!
Ellie leaves as Chuck thinks about what she just said. What would be the best thing for his future? After the intersect was downloaded into his brain his future was pretty much taken over by the government, it was no longer in his control. Or was there a way he could get the control back?
Bailey was trying to stay out of Sarah and Chuck’s personal life even though they wouldn't have one if it wasn't for her allowing it. She hated to see them heartbroken like that, they were both right and wrong at the same time. It was hard to be in the middle, she knew Chuck and the things he values most in this world. The same with Sarah, but Bailey knows that Sarah is just confused from never being able to emotionally express herself unless she is angry or the world is about to end. compared to Chuck who is not afraid to express his emotions by no means.
She sat at the counter of the spy shop programming the new Alienware Area 51 m15x notebook computer she had purchased for the shop. Granted the computers Chuck tried to sell her at the Buy More were good, but the Alienware software however was incredible. Mostly for gamers because of their superb graphics and media, it clearly superseded all of the other brands, and Bailey had her own plans for the software!
As she finished uploading a security program, which was linked to some cameras, motion sensors and certain programming files, she heard the bell ring on the door in front of the shop. As she looked up she saw a miserable looking Sarah walking towards the counter. She had her work uniform on with her grey hooded zip down sweatshirt walking up dragging her feet and slouched over like she was hung over.
Bailey: are you drunk?
Sarah let out a groan as she walked behind the counter and sat in the chair next to Bailey and laid her head down on the table.
"No" she cried out.
Bailey: well I can't cheer you up until you tell me what's wrong!
Sarah: you were right!
Bailey: I know that, I usually am. Wait...what was I right about?
Sarah: Chuck and I were on the beach talking and I opened my self up a little emotionally and he just took it and ran.
Bailey: Not good! How far did he run with it?
Sarah: he asked me to marry him!
Bailey: Oh Sarah, I ah...
Sarah: and the worst part is that I wanted to say yes but my head got in the way! I love him but I can't handle all of this so soon. I have only known him for the better part of a year and we haven't even been out on a real date, half of our relationship is based on a lie and I am having his baby and .....And I am sounding like I belong on the Jerry Springer Show!
Bailey laughs at that comment.
Sarah puts her head back down on the table and whimpers a little bit.
Bailey runs her hand up and down Sarah’s back trying to comfort her.
“Sarah, you both knew when you started having feelings for each other that it wouldn't be a normal relationship, and like I or not it never will be!”
Sarah: I know, but why can't he see that I am happy with him and we don't need to get married?
Bailey: I told you he is looking for some emotional security...a commitment that you will always be with him.
Sarah: I don't plan on going anywhere but I’m just not ready to let him in, in every aspect of my life yet, and I am trying to open up and talk but he just takes it to the next step and I can't follow!
Bailey: we are spies, no one will ever know every aspect of our lives, but let me ask you, if you know that Chuck is the one for you, the one that has your heart and the one you never want to live without. I have a way for you to compromise and find common ground without you having to talk to much!
Sarah looks up at Bailey and wipes away her tears. "Tell me how, I will do anything!"
The rest of the morning Sarah listens to Bailey tell a story about her and Chuck’s great grandparents, and how what they went threw and what they did will help her with Chuck!
Later that afternoon Casey walks over to the shop and waltzes into the back room where Bailey and Sarah were waiting for him.
Casey: What are you working here now to?
Sarah: Shut up Casey!
Casey: Where is lover boy, I haven't seen him all day?
Sarah: What?? He didn't show up for work?
Bailey: He is at home, I talked to him earlier he is going to meet us later. Now on to work, what did you find out about Vigos whereabouts?
Casey: Not much, he has been spotted a few times up around the Burbank area but has been keeping a very low profile.
Bailey: Ok, we can go scout it out later and if we find him we will bring him in. Is there any chance of unexpected French visitors?
Casey: From my information they are looking south towards the boarder, the French never really were the sharpest tools in the shed!
Bailey: well I am not going to take any chances so we will go out with full gear, no excuses.
Casey: Roger that!
Bailey walks into Casa Bartowski looking for Chuck, the lights are off and there is a cold feeling inside. Awesome and Ellie are at work so she is not worried about them over hearing what she needs to say to Chuck. She knocks and opens the door to his room and sees him lying in the same position he was when Ellie saw him.
Bailey: Chuck! Hey Chuck, its almost time to go find Mr. French! Come on!
Chuck: Can you go without me, you really don’t need me, you know what he looks like and I just cant seem to get my mind to focus!
Bailey: I know, I am sorry about last night, Sarah is in a funk about it to. I can see that it is killing both of you, but I need you there just in case some other French agent are around you can flash on!
Chuck lets out a long sigh, he really isn’t in the mood to go do this right now, and he sure isn’t in the mood to see Sarah.
Chuck: Ok. (He says as he rises from his bed.) But I want to talk to you about something first.
Bailey: Ok, what is it?
Chuck: It’s just…I have been thinking and want to know since I am helping out with this spy stuff…
Bailey: Spit it out Chuck, just tell me what it is you want!
Chuck: I want you to talk to your boss about me joining the agency as a field agent and getting paid for all of the missions and stuff I am doing!
Bailey: WHAT??? Chuck…NO!!
Chuck: Bailey this is what I want and what I think is best for me, Sarah and the baby. I can’t provide for a family working at the Buy More and I can’t see myself getting another job and having to deal with this spy stuff, so the only other option is to join! I want to be more to this team then just the intersect!
Bailey can see that he has been thinking about this all day and is to stubborn to change his mind now!
Bailey: Ok, I will have a talk with my boss, I’m sure there is something we can arrange, but Chuck this is not exactly something you can just get out of. I don’t want this decision to change you, you’re to good a person for that.
Chuck: I don’t want you to start treating me like they do sometimes. Like all I am good for is the intersect in my head and a few computer things, I have other things I can offer this team! I need this Bailey, to prove to myself that I am good enough to fit into the spy world and to help make a future for my family!
Bailey: I know that, and so do they Chuck. We care for you very much and we don’t want to see you get hurt, intersect or not!
Chuck: I’m not made of glass, I won’t break! Well… unless it’s some really big guy, he might be able to break me! (He laughs)
Bailey: Chuck this is a serious decision and I think that you and Sarah need to have a talk about this before you decide. Maybe I should be the one to tell her after my boss and I have come up with a reasonable agreement, then you two can talk about what you want to do! You two are going to have to make every decision together from now on because its not just her life and your life that are going to be effected, you have to start considering the baby in everything now.
Chuck: You don’t think I know that? Trust me, looking back on things I would have never had thought my life would be so screwed up as it is right now and every time I try to get it back on track something else comes along to make the last catastrophe seem like it was just a small glitch!
Bailey walks over to her cousin and gives him a hug. She knows that he is trying to do what’s best for his and Sarah’s future together under the circumstances. She also knew that Chuck would tell Sarah his intentions and she will disagree, and that was not an argument they needed to add to the fire.
Bailey: While I work on what I am going to say to her and my boss, you need to think about how you are going to fix things relationship wise!
Chuck: I don’t know how?
Bailey: Simple, walk up to her and tell her what you want and what you expect.
Chuck: I though I did that when I asked her to marry me?
Bailey: Let me finish! Then let her tell you what her expectations are and see if you can find common ground.
Chuck: She won’t even speak to me right now!
Bailey: Because you freaked her out little cuz! Sarah is so fragile emotionally that to much at once causes her to choke up and back away. I know that you love her and want to marry her and so does she, but you need to think about what she wants and what its going to take for her to get there!
Chuck: I don’t get it?
Bailey: She loves you, but you are going to have to be patient with her and when she is ready she will marry you.
She gives her cousin one last hug before walking out of the apartment so she can call her boss. After explaining the situation and what she would like to see happen, if at all possible, Mr. Dylan said he would review the request and see what he could do.

Chuck vs The Un-Born Catastrophe Part 2
Down stairs Chuck is about to leave for work when he sees Bailey in the kitchen making a cup of tea. He thought about what he should say to her, “thanks for abandoning us when things got bad!” Or “welcome back, how long do you plan on staying this time?” He still couldn’t find the right words to say so he just waved to her and walked out closing the door behind him, at the same time Sarah came down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Bailey: I see he is still upset with me!
Sarah: I’m sure he will forgive you in time. I mean if it weren't for you we would still be controlled by Beckman and Graham, and Chuck and I would have never gotten together!
Bailey: So when are you two going to have "the" conversation?
Sarah: We were going to go out on a date tonight but he told Ellie we would have dinner with them, so we might go for a walk on the beach afterwards.
Bailey: That sounds nice, a romantic walk on the beach talking about the future!!
Sarah: Don't get ahead of yourself, I am not ready for that kind of commitment. I mean it’s nice to think about but I don't think I could handle all of that right now, it took everything I had to tell him I loved him.
Bailey: with everything that has happened in his life with his mom leaving and college….Jill, and now with all this intersect stuff, he is going to want some sort of emotional security in his life, and if you ask me, I think you need some too!
Bailey looks at Sarah as she can see the wheels turning in her head, she takes a sip of her tea then heads back upstairs to get ready for the day.
At the buy more, Chuck is in a daze at the nerd herd desk when Morgan jumps up on the desk scaring Chuck causing him to fall out of his chair!
Chuck: MORGAN!!!
Morgan (laughing): sorry dude, but that was classic! What's up? talk to your old buddy Morgan!
Chuck: Not right now Morgan, it’s a little complicated.
Morgan: Chuck...dude…it’s me, the one you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to. So come on, lay it on me.
Chuck: ok...but you can't tell anyone!! I mean it Morgan!
Morgan: come on tell me...tell me...tell me.
He jumps around like a little kid waiting for their birthday present.
Chuck: Ok......Sarah and I......
Morgan: Sarah and you.... What man?
Chuck: Sarah and I are going to have a baby!
Morgan: WHAT!!! YOU KNOCKED HER UP?
Half of the store looks over at Chuck and all he can do is smile and turn a little red with embarrassment.
Chuck: Thanks buddy, remind me never to tell you anything ever again!
Morgan: hey, what am I here for huh, and I’m sure no one was paying attention.
Just as Morgan finished that statement Jeff and Lester walk up.
Lester: so Chuck, you knocked up the wiener chick! What a way to get tied down into that relationship!
Jeff: I wouldn’t mind her tying me down!
Lester: I meant how ole Chuck here will only be with her and no other woman because he will be a daddy.
Jeff: I’m still not seeing a problem, I mean Sarah is hot! She is going to be a MILF!
Chuck: Watch it Jeff!
Jeff smiles a very large and scary smile then winks at Chuck.
Morgan: So what are you going to do, marry her?
Chuck: I don’t know what I’m going to do Morgan? I just need some time to think.
Morgan: Well if you need any advise you can always talk to the master.
Chuck: Right, because you have so much experience in this area!
Morgan: well no...But I’m sure I can help out somehow.
Chuck: thanks Morg...but I think I am just going to hide back in the cage and think for a while.
A few hours and a couple of fixed hard drives later Chuck is still puzzled about what he is going to do about his future with Sarah and a baby! He lays his head down on the desk to think, his ears perk up when he hears the back door open and close and the wonderful aroma of a large meat lovers pizza fills the room. As he lifts his head he sees Bailey standing in font of the desk holding a pizza.
Bailey: I thought we could have lunch together and talk! If your free?
Chuck: yeah...yes I’m free.
He clears the table of computer parts and hard drives so she can set down the pizza. He thought he would try and make small talk till the serious issues came up. “So how has your day been so far?”
Bailey: uumm...good. I went and got my job back at the spy shop.
Chuck: they hired you again?
Bailey: yes well after their supposed robbery and my leave of absence to heal from my injury, they saw no reason why I couldn't have my job back!
Chuck: so I guess this mean you plan on staying longer than 3 months this time?
Bailey put down her slice of pizza and wiped her mouth with her napkin. The harsh yet hurt tone that had come from Chuck was to unavoidable.
Bailey: I am sorry about that Chuck. I have no excuse for it except that I thought it would be best for everyone if I left things as they were. I was.......I was trying to do what was best for you!
Chuck: and leaving me without so much as a goodbye was what you thought? Way to show you care there cousin! I guess desertion runs in your side of the family!
Bailey laughs sarcastically: You know what, if I didn't care so much about you I wouldn't have accepted this mission in he first place! Or decided to come back when Sarah pledded with me that we all needed each other! Then I find out that you got her pregnant! I could have stayed in DC continuing to take down fulcrum and Sarah would have been reassigned and you would have never seen her or your baby again so don't go telling me about how much I care about you Chuck because obviously you have no idea!!
Bailey storms out the back door of the Buy More leaving Chuck on the verge of tears. He finally realized that this situation was no longer just his and Sarah’s to worry about, and that in fact Bailey had been looking out for his and Sarah’s best interest the whole time regardless of her own. He reached back grabbing the back of his head letting out an aggravated groan. He felt like such a jerk.
He couldn't take being at work anymore so he told Big Mike that he was going on his lunch break and would be back in a few minutes. Big Mike just waved for him to get lost for he was consumed watching a movie.
Chuck gets in the herder and drives home with a million things on his mind. As he gets to Sarah’s apartment and walks into her room where she is on the bed reading a file and taking notes, he falls on the bed next to her and lets out a sigh and a groan.
Sarah pulls herself away from the file and looks down at Chuck and smiles.
"Bad day?"
Chuck: you could say that. Bailey came over and I kind of went off on her.
Sarah: Chuck...I know that when she left it hurt you and she knows that more than anyone but you have to know that she came back because she loves you and wants us to be happy.
Chuck: I know that, she made that very clear in her retaliation, and what makes it worse is that I said desertion must run in her side of the family!
Sarah is shocked and pissed that those words left his mouth about Bailey. She smacks him hard on the back and tells him to "go apologize right now!"
Chuck rolls off the bed to avoid another lashing.
Sarah: Chuck, I was going to tell you this tonight but now is as good of time as any. When we were in DC talking to Bailey’s boss, she made up a few terms and had Beckman and Graham agree to them.
Chuck: terms? What are you talking about?
Sarah: well the short version is that you would receive information upgrades so we can keep you as an asset. Another is that Casey and I are permanently assigned to you and could only be removed by Bailey or her boss Mr. Dylan. And the last one was
that you and I could have a real relationship without fear of being compromised!
Chuck: she did all of that for us?
Sarah: yes Chuck, the only way we could still be assigned to you is if you remain an asset to the government, that’s where the uploads come in. Do you want to do that?
Chuck : Yes! If that is what it will take to keep us together then yes! I need to go talk to her. But you and me later…after dinner??
Sarah: yes we can discuss our situation later!
At the spy shop, Bailey’s first job was to inventory the store then record the information in the stores old computer. She goes from shelf to shelf with a note pad and pen and marks down every item and their quantity. She wasn't in the best of moods but she couldn't be angry with Chuck, for he was half right, leaving was something she did very well, a trait that could possibly run in her family!
The more she thought about it the more aggravated she became, she got to the final shelf and threw the notepad down on it and walked to the counter where Casey stood.
Bailey: Were closed, and I am not in the mood to deal with you right now!
Casey: well you are just going to have to get over it! I am here on business not…pleasure!
Casey looks Bailey up and down and gave a sarcastic grin that was not well received by Bailey.
Bailey: trust me the only pleasure you will be receiving is from yourself! Now tell me what's going on then leave!
Casey: I got a call from the General, they need our assistance for a mission.
Bailey: Fine! We will have a video conference with them in a few hours and I will contact my boss as well. (She lets out a sigh, she wasn't ready to work on mission stuff yet with all of the personal stuff undelt with!)
Casey: you know, if your getting this stressed out about coming back maybe you should have stayed in DC!
Bailey: I am not stressed out about being back, I am getting stressed out thinking about how I can prove to my cousin that this is it for me, that I’m not going anywhere. And I am getting stressed out thinking about how well I will be able to protect Sarah and the baby, and I am just stressed out from all of this emotional crap that I never had worry about before!
Bailey’s slight breakdown causes her to put her head down on the counter balling up her fists and taking in some deep breaths to calm down. Casey is standing behind her not sure about what he should do. He raises his hand to put on her shoulder for comfort but withdrawals slowly, he backs away from her and says in a quiet voice, your not the only one that is worried about things here!
As he exits the shop Bailey slams her fist down hard on the counter then pushes the old computer off the counter causing it to shatter into a million pieces as it hits the ground. She lets out a sigh and a whimper as she grabs the broom to sweep up the pieces.After the remains of the computer have been picked up Bailey hears the bell on the door ring as someone enters.
Bailey: We’re closed!
Chuck: Even for a cousin that’s been acting like a jerk and wants to apologize?
Bailey puts the dust pan down on the counter as Chuck walks up to her.
Chuck: Look, I ah.... (Chuck is moving his hands around trying to find the right words to say.)
Bailey can tell by the sad expression on his face that he was sorry even though he didn't know how to say it. A few tears welled up in her eyes and she just threw her arms around Chuck squeezing him tight. Chuck was caught slightly off guard but regained his bearings and hugged her back.
Bailey: I’m sorry Chuck.
Chuck: No, I’m sorry! I had no right to say the things I did, not after all the things you have done for me and given up so I could be happy.
Bailey: I swear to you that I won't leave again!
Chuck hugs his cousin tighter and as they break apart wiping the tears from their eyes, Chuck looks over and sees the broken computer.
Chuck: not even I can fix that!
Bailey laughs as she wipes away the last of her tears.
Chuck: you will have to come to the Buy More with me and I will give you a good deal on one of our newer models. This thing looks like it still has DOS?
They both laugh and head for the door, Chuck is walking behind Bailey when he throws his arms around Bailey’s shoulders, hugging her again as they walk out the door.
The evening sky is lit up like a picture with its pretty orange and pink colors darkening with the approaching night. We see Chuck, Casey and Bailey walk into Sarah and Bailey apartment tired from a long day of civilian work.
Chuck and Bailey are laughing and wrestling around like 2 kids aggravating each other while Casey awaits the video conference.
Casey: Can we please get this over with? Family time is making me sick!
Bailey gives Casey a pout look and calls for Sarah to come down stairs. As she makes her way down and takes her usual place next to Chuck the new HD flat screen TV turns on with General Beckman and Director Graham on one side of the screen and in another office Mr. Dylan is on the other side.
Chuck: Who is that?
Bailey: My boss!
Chuck: oh…ok.
Mr. Dylan: It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Bartowski! I have heard nothing but good things from your cousin and team.
Chuck is a little embarrassed and nervous receiving praise from a high ranking official. "Thank you Sir"
Mr. Dylan: Now to business. What is it that needs taken care of? (His question obviously directed to Beckman and Graham)
Graham: we have received some Intel that a highly trained French assassin has gone into hiding in the Los Angles area.
Beckman: Peter Vigo was on a mission when a burn notice was put out on him by his agency.
A picture of Vigo appears on the screen. Chuck has a flash seeing Vigo’s service record, aliases and confirmed kills. “This man is crazy! He has over 250 kills in over 13 different countries!”
Mr. Dylan: He is not crazy Mr. Bartowski, he is good! And your cousin there, has way more kills than that!”
Chuck’s head snaps quickly over to look at Bailey and sees the smirk on her face, which causes Casey to grunt, “Show off!”
Bailey: So what is it you would like us to do?
Graham: Find Vigo and turn him in to us! A French Agent always has some useful information.
Mr. Dylan: Good! Go do a little shake -n- bake then turn him over to the CIA.
Bailey: Yes sir!
Casey: What did he just say?
Chuck: I don't know but it just made me hungry!
Casey: idiot!
Beckman: Wait a minute, your not going to tell them how they should proceed in the matter?
Mr. Dylan: No, my agents are trained well. I don't believe in micro managing my agents, it shows poor leadership!
Beckman is not happy with that snide remark and turns up her nose as she logs off her side of the screen. Mr. Dylan just smiles and tells the team good luck as he signs off.
Chuck: I like him!
They all turn to Bailey.
Sarah: what is shake -n- bake?
Bailey: you know that stuff you buy at the grocery store with the bread crumbs in the bag and you put the chicken in it and shake it up really good then put it in the oven to bake! (Bailey is trying not to laugh at Sarah’s irritated expression) I will explain later, right now I think we need to go see Ellie before she shakes and bakes us!
After dinner Casey and Bailey walk into Bailey’s apartment to discuss mission plans and shake-n- bake, while Chuck and Sarah take a drive down to the beach. As they walk hand in hand down the beach looking out at the lights coming from the far off ships in the distance, Chuck sits down in the sand with Sarah sitting in between his legs leaning back into his chest. Chuck wraps his arms around Sarah, holding her close as they relax listening to the sounds of the ocean.
Sarah: This is nice, I like being here like this.
Chuck holds her tight and lets out a happy sigh.
Chuck: are you happy?
Sarah: Yes, I am.
Chuck: I mean are you happy with this baby thing? I know it wasn't on the agenda, it sure wasn't on my agenda for a few more years but now that it has happened and all the things we have going on in our lives it just seems like…
Sarah reaches back and pulls chucks face down to hers and kisses him deeply. Chuck is at a loss for words and is in a slight daze.
Sarah: your babbling, and I know this wasn't planned but it has been something I have been thinking about for a while.
Chuck: Really?
Sarah: sure, I would often think what it would be like to have a normal life with a family and children.
Chuck has a big slap happy grin on his face that is unavoidable to Sarah.
Sarah: What?
Chuck: nothing, I just never heard you talk like that before.
Sarah: its you, you bring out the worst in me!
Chuck: and you in me!
Chuck lowers his head back down giving Sarah a long intimate kiss that takes Sarah’s breath away.
Chuck breaks the kiss and softly whispers, “I love you!”
Sarah pulls his face back down, I love you, they kiss again hungrily and intensely.
Chuck lays back in the sand with Sarah on top of him, neither of their lips parting the others. Chuck places one arm around Sarah’s waist then runs his other hand up her back then entangling it in her hair. Sarah’s hands are wrapped around chucks arm and shoulder with the other on his chest griping tightly to his shirt. Their kiss slowly comes to an end as Sarah sits up on her hands with chuck underneath her breathing heavily. A smile emerges on her face as her eyes reflect a happy and loving stare. Chuck is mesmerized by her eyes like she had bewitched him body and soul that without thinking he says "Marry me Sarah!?!?"
Sarah: WHAT???
Chuck: Marry me, lets start making plans for our future together. I love you and there is nothing more I want in this world than to make you my wife!
Sarah is speechless as tears form in her eyes and the happy stare turns into a confused and distant one. She climbs off chuck and sits next to him in the sand, she looks down at the sand but her mind is a million miles away.
Chuck sits up and looks at her with his heart out on his sleeve. Sarah, look at me!
He turns her body towards him and holds her head up with his hand. Look at me!
Her watery blue eyes do not give him a confident feeling. Instead his heart aches as he sees the answer in them. He lets out a sarcastic laugh as he looks up at the stars trying to keep his tears from falling. He stands up and brushes the sand off himself and lets out a upset sigh. He looks down at Sarah as she still looks so conflicted and confused, he knows that he just got killed by her emotional barriers by pushing the relationship to fast for her to handle. Her emotions right now are fragile and need caring for but he didn't see that.
Chuck reaches out his hand for her to take. Sarah just looks up at him then takes his hand as he pulls her up. " I’m sorry chuck."
Chuck: its my fault, I shouldn't have rushed you!
He lets go of her hand and walks back to the car. Sarah can tell that he is deeply hurt but there is nothing she could do to make it better. She was in no way ready to be married, getting use to the idea of having a baby is going to be hard enough. She just wished that he could understand.
The ride home was a quiet and lonely one. Both needing and wanting each other emotionally to be able to talk and share their feeling but that wasn't about to happen so they continued their silence all the way back to the apartment. They walked side by side to the fountain, chuck was looking down at Sarah’s hand debating if he should hold it or not. As they reached the fountain he turned to Sarah.
Chuck: I think ah....I think I am just going to stay in my room tonight!
Sarah shakes her head in agreement . “If that is what you want to do.” She lowers her head and swallows hard trying to hide the pain in her eyes and not look at the pain in his. They stand at the fountain afraid to leave, afraid to face the fact that what just happened is going to change everything again. They stand there inches from each other but never so far apart, they don’t know what to do to move forward from here.
Bailey: I see he is still upset with me!
Sarah: I’m sure he will forgive you in time. I mean if it weren't for you we would still be controlled by Beckman and Graham, and Chuck and I would have never gotten together!
Bailey: So when are you two going to have "the" conversation?
Sarah: We were going to go out on a date tonight but he told Ellie we would have dinner with them, so we might go for a walk on the beach afterwards.
Bailey: That sounds nice, a romantic walk on the beach talking about the future!!
Sarah: Don't get ahead of yourself, I am not ready for that kind of commitment. I mean it’s nice to think about but I don't think I could handle all of that right now, it took everything I had to tell him I loved him.
Bailey: with everything that has happened in his life with his mom leaving and college….Jill, and now with all this intersect stuff, he is going to want some sort of emotional security in his life, and if you ask me, I think you need some too!
Bailey looks at Sarah as she can see the wheels turning in her head, she takes a sip of her tea then heads back upstairs to get ready for the day.
At the buy more, Chuck is in a daze at the nerd herd desk when Morgan jumps up on the desk scaring Chuck causing him to fall out of his chair!
Chuck: MORGAN!!!
Morgan (laughing): sorry dude, but that was classic! What's up? talk to your old buddy Morgan!
Chuck: Not right now Morgan, it’s a little complicated.
Morgan: Chuck...dude…it’s me, the one you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to. So come on, lay it on me.
Chuck: ok...but you can't tell anyone!! I mean it Morgan!
Morgan: come on tell me...tell me...tell me.
He jumps around like a little kid waiting for their birthday present.
Chuck: Ok......Sarah and I......
Morgan: Sarah and you.... What man?
Chuck: Sarah and I are going to have a baby!
Morgan: WHAT!!! YOU KNOCKED HER UP?
Half of the store looks over at Chuck and all he can do is smile and turn a little red with embarrassment.
Chuck: Thanks buddy, remind me never to tell you anything ever again!
Morgan: hey, what am I here for huh, and I’m sure no one was paying attention.
Just as Morgan finished that statement Jeff and Lester walk up.
Lester: so Chuck, you knocked up the wiener chick! What a way to get tied down into that relationship!
Jeff: I wouldn’t mind her tying me down!
Lester: I meant how ole Chuck here will only be with her and no other woman because he will be a daddy.
Jeff: I’m still not seeing a problem, I mean Sarah is hot! She is going to be a MILF!
Chuck: Watch it Jeff!
Jeff smiles a very large and scary smile then winks at Chuck.
Morgan: So what are you going to do, marry her?
Chuck: I don’t know what I’m going to do Morgan? I just need some time to think.
Morgan: Well if you need any advise you can always talk to the master.
Chuck: Right, because you have so much experience in this area!
Morgan: well no...But I’m sure I can help out somehow.
Chuck: thanks Morg...but I think I am just going to hide back in the cage and think for a while.
A few hours and a couple of fixed hard drives later Chuck is still puzzled about what he is going to do about his future with Sarah and a baby! He lays his head down on the desk to think, his ears perk up when he hears the back door open and close and the wonderful aroma of a large meat lovers pizza fills the room. As he lifts his head he sees Bailey standing in font of the desk holding a pizza.
Bailey: I thought we could have lunch together and talk! If your free?
Chuck: yeah...yes I’m free.
He clears the table of computer parts and hard drives so she can set down the pizza. He thought he would try and make small talk till the serious issues came up. “So how has your day been so far?”
Bailey: uumm...good. I went and got my job back at the spy shop.
Chuck: they hired you again?
Bailey: yes well after their supposed robbery and my leave of absence to heal from my injury, they saw no reason why I couldn't have my job back!
Chuck: so I guess this mean you plan on staying longer than 3 months this time?
Bailey put down her slice of pizza and wiped her mouth with her napkin. The harsh yet hurt tone that had come from Chuck was to unavoidable.
Bailey: I am sorry about that Chuck. I have no excuse for it except that I thought it would be best for everyone if I left things as they were. I was.......I was trying to do what was best for you!
Chuck: and leaving me without so much as a goodbye was what you thought? Way to show you care there cousin! I guess desertion runs in your side of the family!
Bailey laughs sarcastically: You know what, if I didn't care so much about you I wouldn't have accepted this mission in he first place! Or decided to come back when Sarah pledded with me that we all needed each other! Then I find out that you got her pregnant! I could have stayed in DC continuing to take down fulcrum and Sarah would have been reassigned and you would have never seen her or your baby again so don't go telling me about how much I care about you Chuck because obviously you have no idea!!
Bailey storms out the back door of the Buy More leaving Chuck on the verge of tears. He finally realized that this situation was no longer just his and Sarah’s to worry about, and that in fact Bailey had been looking out for his and Sarah’s best interest the whole time regardless of her own. He reached back grabbing the back of his head letting out an aggravated groan. He felt like such a jerk.
He couldn't take being at work anymore so he told Big Mike that he was going on his lunch break and would be back in a few minutes. Big Mike just waved for him to get lost for he was consumed watching a movie.
Chuck gets in the herder and drives home with a million things on his mind. As he gets to Sarah’s apartment and walks into her room where she is on the bed reading a file and taking notes, he falls on the bed next to her and lets out a sigh and a groan.
Sarah pulls herself away from the file and looks down at Chuck and smiles.
"Bad day?"
Chuck: you could say that. Bailey came over and I kind of went off on her.
Sarah: Chuck...I know that when she left it hurt you and she knows that more than anyone but you have to know that she came back because she loves you and wants us to be happy.
Chuck: I know that, she made that very clear in her retaliation, and what makes it worse is that I said desertion must run in her side of the family!
Sarah is shocked and pissed that those words left his mouth about Bailey. She smacks him hard on the back and tells him to "go apologize right now!"
Chuck rolls off the bed to avoid another lashing.
Sarah: Chuck, I was going to tell you this tonight but now is as good of time as any. When we were in DC talking to Bailey’s boss, she made up a few terms and had Beckman and Graham agree to them.
Chuck: terms? What are you talking about?
Sarah: well the short version is that you would receive information upgrades so we can keep you as an asset. Another is that Casey and I are permanently assigned to you and could only be removed by Bailey or her boss Mr. Dylan. And the last one was
that you and I could have a real relationship without fear of being compromised!
Chuck: she did all of that for us?
Sarah: yes Chuck, the only way we could still be assigned to you is if you remain an asset to the government, that’s where the uploads come in. Do you want to do that?
Chuck : Yes! If that is what it will take to keep us together then yes! I need to go talk to her. But you and me later…after dinner??
Sarah: yes we can discuss our situation later!
At the spy shop, Bailey’s first job was to inventory the store then record the information in the stores old computer. She goes from shelf to shelf with a note pad and pen and marks down every item and their quantity. She wasn't in the best of moods but she couldn't be angry with Chuck, for he was half right, leaving was something she did very well, a trait that could possibly run in her family!
The more she thought about it the more aggravated she became, she got to the final shelf and threw the notepad down on it and walked to the counter where Casey stood.
Bailey: Were closed, and I am not in the mood to deal with you right now!
Casey: well you are just going to have to get over it! I am here on business not…pleasure!
Casey looks Bailey up and down and gave a sarcastic grin that was not well received by Bailey.
Bailey: trust me the only pleasure you will be receiving is from yourself! Now tell me what's going on then leave!
Casey: I got a call from the General, they need our assistance for a mission.
Bailey: Fine! We will have a video conference with them in a few hours and I will contact my boss as well. (She lets out a sigh, she wasn't ready to work on mission stuff yet with all of the personal stuff undelt with!)
Casey: you know, if your getting this stressed out about coming back maybe you should have stayed in DC!
Bailey: I am not stressed out about being back, I am getting stressed out thinking about how I can prove to my cousin that this is it for me, that I’m not going anywhere. And I am getting stressed out thinking about how well I will be able to protect Sarah and the baby, and I am just stressed out from all of this emotional crap that I never had worry about before!
Bailey’s slight breakdown causes her to put her head down on the counter balling up her fists and taking in some deep breaths to calm down. Casey is standing behind her not sure about what he should do. He raises his hand to put on her shoulder for comfort but withdrawals slowly, he backs away from her and says in a quiet voice, your not the only one that is worried about things here!
As he exits the shop Bailey slams her fist down hard on the counter then pushes the old computer off the counter causing it to shatter into a million pieces as it hits the ground. She lets out a sigh and a whimper as she grabs the broom to sweep up the pieces.After the remains of the computer have been picked up Bailey hears the bell on the door ring as someone enters.
Bailey: We’re closed!
Chuck: Even for a cousin that’s been acting like a jerk and wants to apologize?
Bailey puts the dust pan down on the counter as Chuck walks up to her.
Chuck: Look, I ah.... (Chuck is moving his hands around trying to find the right words to say.)
Bailey can tell by the sad expression on his face that he was sorry even though he didn't know how to say it. A few tears welled up in her eyes and she just threw her arms around Chuck squeezing him tight. Chuck was caught slightly off guard but regained his bearings and hugged her back.
Bailey: I’m sorry Chuck.
Chuck: No, I’m sorry! I had no right to say the things I did, not after all the things you have done for me and given up so I could be happy.
Bailey: I swear to you that I won't leave again!
Chuck hugs his cousin tighter and as they break apart wiping the tears from their eyes, Chuck looks over and sees the broken computer.
Chuck: not even I can fix that!
Bailey laughs as she wipes away the last of her tears.
Chuck: you will have to come to the Buy More with me and I will give you a good deal on one of our newer models. This thing looks like it still has DOS?
They both laugh and head for the door, Chuck is walking behind Bailey when he throws his arms around Bailey’s shoulders, hugging her again as they walk out the door.
The evening sky is lit up like a picture with its pretty orange and pink colors darkening with the approaching night. We see Chuck, Casey and Bailey walk into Sarah and Bailey apartment tired from a long day of civilian work.
Chuck and Bailey are laughing and wrestling around like 2 kids aggravating each other while Casey awaits the video conference.
Casey: Can we please get this over with? Family time is making me sick!
Bailey gives Casey a pout look and calls for Sarah to come down stairs. As she makes her way down and takes her usual place next to Chuck the new HD flat screen TV turns on with General Beckman and Director Graham on one side of the screen and in another office Mr. Dylan is on the other side.
Chuck: Who is that?
Bailey: My boss!
Chuck: oh…ok.
Mr. Dylan: It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Bartowski! I have heard nothing but good things from your cousin and team.
Chuck is a little embarrassed and nervous receiving praise from a high ranking official. "Thank you Sir"
Mr. Dylan: Now to business. What is it that needs taken care of? (His question obviously directed to Beckman and Graham)
Graham: we have received some Intel that a highly trained French assassin has gone into hiding in the Los Angles area.
Beckman: Peter Vigo was on a mission when a burn notice was put out on him by his agency.
A picture of Vigo appears on the screen. Chuck has a flash seeing Vigo’s service record, aliases and confirmed kills. “This man is crazy! He has over 250 kills in over 13 different countries!”
Mr. Dylan: He is not crazy Mr. Bartowski, he is good! And your cousin there, has way more kills than that!”
Chuck’s head snaps quickly over to look at Bailey and sees the smirk on her face, which causes Casey to grunt, “Show off!”
Bailey: So what is it you would like us to do?
Graham: Find Vigo and turn him in to us! A French Agent always has some useful information.
Mr. Dylan: Good! Go do a little shake -n- bake then turn him over to the CIA.
Bailey: Yes sir!
Casey: What did he just say?
Chuck: I don't know but it just made me hungry!
Casey: idiot!
Beckman: Wait a minute, your not going to tell them how they should proceed in the matter?
Mr. Dylan: No, my agents are trained well. I don't believe in micro managing my agents, it shows poor leadership!
Beckman is not happy with that snide remark and turns up her nose as she logs off her side of the screen. Mr. Dylan just smiles and tells the team good luck as he signs off.
Chuck: I like him!
They all turn to Bailey.
Sarah: what is shake -n- bake?
Bailey: you know that stuff you buy at the grocery store with the bread crumbs in the bag and you put the chicken in it and shake it up really good then put it in the oven to bake! (Bailey is trying not to laugh at Sarah’s irritated expression) I will explain later, right now I think we need to go see Ellie before she shakes and bakes us!
After dinner Casey and Bailey walk into Bailey’s apartment to discuss mission plans and shake-n- bake, while Chuck and Sarah take a drive down to the beach. As they walk hand in hand down the beach looking out at the lights coming from the far off ships in the distance, Chuck sits down in the sand with Sarah sitting in between his legs leaning back into his chest. Chuck wraps his arms around Sarah, holding her close as they relax listening to the sounds of the ocean.
Sarah: This is nice, I like being here like this.
Chuck holds her tight and lets out a happy sigh.
Chuck: are you happy?
Sarah: Yes, I am.
Chuck: I mean are you happy with this baby thing? I know it wasn't on the agenda, it sure wasn't on my agenda for a few more years but now that it has happened and all the things we have going on in our lives it just seems like…
Sarah reaches back and pulls chucks face down to hers and kisses him deeply. Chuck is at a loss for words and is in a slight daze.
Sarah: your babbling, and I know this wasn't planned but it has been something I have been thinking about for a while.
Chuck: Really?
Sarah: sure, I would often think what it would be like to have a normal life with a family and children.
Chuck has a big slap happy grin on his face that is unavoidable to Sarah.
Sarah: What?
Chuck: nothing, I just never heard you talk like that before.
Sarah: its you, you bring out the worst in me!
Chuck: and you in me!
Chuck lowers his head back down giving Sarah a long intimate kiss that takes Sarah’s breath away.
Chuck breaks the kiss and softly whispers, “I love you!”
Sarah pulls his face back down, I love you, they kiss again hungrily and intensely.
Chuck lays back in the sand with Sarah on top of him, neither of their lips parting the others. Chuck places one arm around Sarah’s waist then runs his other hand up her back then entangling it in her hair. Sarah’s hands are wrapped around chucks arm and shoulder with the other on his chest griping tightly to his shirt. Their kiss slowly comes to an end as Sarah sits up on her hands with chuck underneath her breathing heavily. A smile emerges on her face as her eyes reflect a happy and loving stare. Chuck is mesmerized by her eyes like she had bewitched him body and soul that without thinking he says "Marry me Sarah!?!?"
Sarah: WHAT???
Chuck: Marry me, lets start making plans for our future together. I love you and there is nothing more I want in this world than to make you my wife!
Sarah is speechless as tears form in her eyes and the happy stare turns into a confused and distant one. She climbs off chuck and sits next to him in the sand, she looks down at the sand but her mind is a million miles away.
Chuck sits up and looks at her with his heart out on his sleeve. Sarah, look at me!
He turns her body towards him and holds her head up with his hand. Look at me!
Her watery blue eyes do not give him a confident feeling. Instead his heart aches as he sees the answer in them. He lets out a sarcastic laugh as he looks up at the stars trying to keep his tears from falling. He stands up and brushes the sand off himself and lets out a upset sigh. He looks down at Sarah as she still looks so conflicted and confused, he knows that he just got killed by her emotional barriers by pushing the relationship to fast for her to handle. Her emotions right now are fragile and need caring for but he didn't see that.
Chuck reaches out his hand for her to take. Sarah just looks up at him then takes his hand as he pulls her up. " I’m sorry chuck."
Chuck: its my fault, I shouldn't have rushed you!
He lets go of her hand and walks back to the car. Sarah can tell that he is deeply hurt but there is nothing she could do to make it better. She was in no way ready to be married, getting use to the idea of having a baby is going to be hard enough. She just wished that he could understand.
The ride home was a quiet and lonely one. Both needing and wanting each other emotionally to be able to talk and share their feeling but that wasn't about to happen so they continued their silence all the way back to the apartment. They walked side by side to the fountain, chuck was looking down at Sarah’s hand debating if he should hold it or not. As they reached the fountain he turned to Sarah.
Chuck: I think ah....I think I am just going to stay in my room tonight!
Sarah shakes her head in agreement . “If that is what you want to do.” She lowers her head and swallows hard trying to hide the pain in her eyes and not look at the pain in his. They stand at the fountain afraid to leave, afraid to face the fact that what just happened is going to change everything again. They stand there inches from each other but never so far apart, they don’t know what to do to move forward from here.

Chuck vs. The Un-born Catastrophe Part 1
We begin the morning after the thrilling news that Sarah and Chuck are going to have a baby together and Sarah convinced Bailey to come back home!
It’s 4 am and we see Sarah and Bailey sneaking back into the apartment complex, for they just caught the red eye back to California and wanted to surprise everyone.
As they walked into the apartment they see Chuck passed out on the couch with a baby book on his chest. Sarah smiles at the sight of him, then sees that Casey is asleep, snoring in the recliner also with a baby book in his arms.
Bailey: (in a low whisper) this is so cute! We should get a picture!
Sarah can't help but to laugh.
Bailey walks over to the hall closet and pulls out 2 blankets. She drapes one over Casey causing him to stir and wake up slightly.
Bailey whispers to him to go back to sleep, and kisses his cheek. He sighs and has a smile on his face as he gets comfortable in the chair and nods back to sleep.
Sarah takes the other blanket and does the same to Chuck. After she covers him with the blanket she tries to pull the book from his grasp. She nearly pries the book loose and looks at the pages in it. She is surprised to see that he had already marked the important pages with sticky notes and made comments on them. She places the book on the coffee table and kisses his forehead while running her fingers threw his hair.
Bailey watches while Sarah does this and can tell that not only would she be protecting Chuck, but she would be protecting them all. She couldn’t run away like she did when Sarah and her get into a fight, or even Casey. This was now her life! The part of the job that was bigger than herself and needed protecting and she wasn’t going to let anything try to destroy it!
Bailey: Hey, lets go get some sleep and in the morning we can have a team meeting.
Sarah stands up and lets out a sigh while shaking her head in agreement. They take their bags upstairs, climb into their beds and fall asleep.
A few hours have passed and it is now 9 am. Sarah is sleeping with her mask over her eyes blocking out the bright sunlight. She is lying with her body facing away from the door when she hears the door to her room open and feels someone sit next to her on the bed.
Sarah (in a sleepy groaning voice): Chuck its early!! Either get in bed and go to sleep or come back later!
Ellie: Well I guess I will come back later after you are well rested!
Sarah sits up in bed and pulls off her masks looking at Ellie who is dressed in her scrubs ready to go to work.
Sarah: Ellie...sorry. (She wipes the sleep from her eyes and pulls her hair back out of her face) Bailey and I caught the red eye back last night so we could surprise everyone today.
Ellie: I see the surprises never stop with you! (She says with a smile)
Sarah smiles and places her hand on her stomach. "Yeah...well, this was just as much a surprise to me as it was for everyone else!!"
Ellie: I bet.....Look Sarah, I know this is something you two weren't expecting but I’m going to tell you the same thing Devon and I told Chuck! If there is anything…and I mean anything you need, you can count on us for support! And we will be there every step of the way because we are family now!
Sarah has a soft smile on her face with a few tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you Ellie!"
They embrace in a hug then break as Ellie stands up and walks back towards the door.
Ellie: Well I have to go to work, but later we should talk about plans for the nursery!
Sarah: nursery?
Ellie: Yes silly, where else is the baby going to sleep?
Ellie laughs as she leaves Sarah’s room. Sarah lays back down on her pillow and smiles at the image of a nursery with all types of stuffed animals and a cradle with all sorts of baby things!
Down stairs Ellie walks to the front door as Chuck wakes up and sees that Casey is not in the recliner, then looks at Ellie who is about to leave and throws the blanket off of him.
Chuck: Hey sis, did you just put this on me?
Ellie: No. Sarah or Bailey must have when they got in this morning.
Chuck: WHAT!!! Their home? I thought they weren't coming home till this afternoon?
Ellie: Well they wanted to surprise you so they took the red eye last night.
Chuck has a smile on his face a mile wide, Ellie sees this and can't help but to smile.
Ellie: I have to go but tonight...dinner?
Chuck: Yeah… That sound...great!
Ellie: ok....have a good day!
Chuck: Bye sis.
As Ellie leaves Chuck gets up and walks upstairs towards Sarah’s room. As he walks down the hallway he notices Bailey's door is cracked and he takes a peek inside. He sees a suitcase and some clothes on the floor, and then as he scans up to the bed he notices two figures in the bed. One is Bailey lying on her side with the second figure with their arm draped over her. He piers in for a closer look and a chill goes down his spine and a nausea\ious feeling turns his stomach.
Chuck: eeeewwww...Bailey and Casey????? My eyes!!!!!! My eyes have been tainted!!!!
He backs away and shuts the door trying to shake the image of his cousin and Mr. Itchy trigger finger out of his mind. He rubs his eyes as he finally makes his way to Sarah’s room. As he looks in he just watches her for a second thinking if all of this was real? Was he dreaming? This beautiful woman that he feel in love with the first moment he saw her is actually in love with him, and is also going to have his baby!?!?
If the smile on Chucks face got any wider, he would look like Joan Rivers! He walked over to the bed and slowly climbed in wrapping his arms around Sarah resting his head in between her shoulder and neck. Sarah let out a relaxing sigh as he squeezed her tight and kissed her neck.
Chuck: good morning beautiful!
Sarah: (in a sleepy voice) good morning!
Chuck: How was your flight?
Sarah laughs: It was good. It was worth it coming home and seeing you and Casey asleep, both holding onto baby books!
Chuck grunts: yeah speaking of Casey I just saw him and my cousin in bed together! That is a sight I never wish to see again!
Sarah: That doesn’t surprise me. I guess things between them sparked in Mexico because I went to Bailey’s room and he was getting dressed and they were very friendly when no one was around.
Chuck: Great, I am going to have nightmares for the rest of my life!
Sarah laughs and rolls on top of him. "I think I can help make the nightmares go away!"
Chuck is happy but is a little hesitant and doesn't quite know what to do as Sarah goes in for a kiss.
"What about the baby?"
Sarah: what about it?
Chuck: well don't you think we need to discuss plans for the future?
Sarah rolls back over and lets out a disappointed groan.
“Chuck we have plenty of time to discuss what we feel is best for this baby and its future!”
Chuck: That's the thing Sarah, we don't! Before you know it 9 months will be here and the double lives of regular world and spy world are going to be a little too much to worry about with a baby and to be honest we really need to talk about what we, as in you and I want for our future!
Sarah: Chuck! Let me worry about the missions and spy stuff and as for you and I, how about we discuss that tonight on a real date?
Chuck: A real date?
Sarah: Yes a real date, if you think about it we never had a real one where it was just you and me, with no hidden agenda or bugs and GPS. We can have a real couple conversation!
Chuck: I like the sound of that! Just you and me, then we can discuss the baby!
Sarah: On 1 condition!
Chuck: What’s that?
Sarah: lay off the baby books! Your stating to sound like that Dr. Spock guy!
Chuck: No way, Spock wasn't the doctor Bones was the doctor!
Sarah looks at him with a weird and questioning look. "You are such a NERD!!"
She turns her body away from him and looks out the window while letting out an annoyed sigh.
Chuck: What did I say?
Over in Bailey’s room, Bailey awakens to find Casey’s arm draped over her. As she sits up Casey also wakes up and smiles.
Casey: Hi.
Bailey smiles: good morning. When did you sneak into my bed?
Casey: about 3 hours ago! I wanted to make sure you wouldn’t run away again!
Bailey: That’s not going to happen!
She lies back down and stares at the ceiling.
Casey: what are you thinking about?
Bailey lets out a long breath: I am thinking about my cousin and Sarah, and how this baby is going to change everything for them and for us all!
Casey: They should have thought about that before jumping in bed together! Now they have to face the consequences!
Bailey: That was a rather rude comment. I thought you were happy about the baby?
Casey: what gave you that impression?
Bailey: I don't know, maybe seeing you passed out in my chair reading a baby book?!?!
Casey: That was just part of my cover of being Chuck’s friend, and I see the baby book stuff as being prepared and mission ready!
Bailey: Right! Whatever you say Casey! And what about being Sarah’s friend, or mine? Is that all just a cover to you to?
Casey: It’s just a job!
Bailey: No Casey, it stopped being just a job a long time ago. I could see that when I first got here!
Casey: So what is it now if it’s not just a job?
Bailey: Keeping my cousin safe as well as Sarah and their baby is my number 1 priority. It’s not just a job to me anymore....its personal!
It’s 4 am and we see Sarah and Bailey sneaking back into the apartment complex, for they just caught the red eye back to California and wanted to surprise everyone.
As they walked into the apartment they see Chuck passed out on the couch with a baby book on his chest. Sarah smiles at the sight of him, then sees that Casey is asleep, snoring in the recliner also with a baby book in his arms.

Sarah smiles and places her hand on her stomach. "Yeah...well, this was just as much a surprise to me as it was for everyone else!!"
Ellie: I bet.....Look Sarah, I know this is something you two weren't expecting but I’m going to tell you the same thing Devon and I told Chuck! If there is anything…and I mean anything you need, you can count on us for support! And we will be there every step of the way because we are family now!
Sarah has a soft smile on her face with a few tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you Ellie!"
They embrace in a hug then break as Ellie stands up and walks back towards the door.

Ellie: No. Sarah or Bailey must have when they got in this morning.
Chuck: WHAT!!! Their home? I thought they weren't coming home till this afternoon?
Ellie: Well they wanted to surprise you so they took the red eye last night.
Chuck has a smile on his face a mile wide, Ellie sees this and can't help but to smile.
Ellie: I have to go but tonight...dinner?
Chuck: Yeah… That sound...great!
Ellie: ok....have a good day!
Chuck: Bye sis.
As Ellie leaves Chuck gets up and walks upstairs towards Sarah’s room. As he walks down the hallway he notices Bailey's door is cracked and he takes a peek inside. He sees a suitcase and some clothes on the floor, and then as he scans up to the bed he notices two figures in the bed. One is Bailey lying on her side with the second figure with their arm draped over her. He piers in for a closer look and a chill goes down his spine and a nausea\ious feeling turns his stomach.
Chuck: eeeewwww...Bailey and Casey????? My eyes!!!!!! My eyes have been tainted!!!!
He backs away and shuts the door trying to shake the image of his cousin and Mr. Itchy trigger finger out of his mind. He rubs his eyes as he finally makes his way to Sarah’s room. As he looks in he just watches her for a second thinking if all of this was real? Was he dreaming? This beautiful woman that he feel in love with the first moment he saw her is actually in love with him, and is also going to have his baby!?!?
If the smile on Chucks face got any wider, he would look like Joan Rivers! He walked over to the bed and slowly climbed in wrapping his arms around Sarah resting his head in between her shoulder and neck. Sarah let out a relaxing sigh as he squeezed her tight and kissed her neck.
Chuck: good morning beautiful!
Sarah: (in a sleepy voice) good morning!
Chuck: How was your flight?
Sarah laughs: It was good. It was worth it coming home and seeing you and Casey asleep, both holding onto baby books!
Chuck grunts: yeah speaking of Casey I just saw him and my cousin in bed together! That is a sight I never wish to see again!
Sarah: That doesn’t surprise me. I guess things between them sparked in Mexico because I went to Bailey’s room and he was getting dressed and they were very friendly when no one was around.
Chuck: Great, I am going to have nightmares for the rest of my life!
Sarah laughs and rolls on top of him. "I think I can help make the nightmares go away!"
Chuck is happy but is a little hesitant and doesn't quite know what to do as Sarah goes in for a kiss.
"What about the baby?"
Sarah: what about it?
Chuck: well don't you think we need to discuss plans for the future?
Sarah rolls back over and lets out a disappointed groan.
“Chuck we have plenty of time to discuss what we feel is best for this baby and its future!”
Chuck: That's the thing Sarah, we don't! Before you know it 9 months will be here and the double lives of regular world and spy world are going to be a little too much to worry about with a baby and to be honest we really need to talk about what we, as in you and I want for our future!
Sarah: Chuck! Let me worry about the missions and spy stuff and as for you and I, how about we discuss that tonight on a real date?
Chuck: A real date?
Sarah: Yes a real date, if you think about it we never had a real one where it was just you and me, with no hidden agenda or bugs and GPS. We can have a real couple conversation!
Chuck: I like the sound of that! Just you and me, then we can discuss the baby!
Sarah: On 1 condition!
Chuck: What’s that?
Sarah: lay off the baby books! Your stating to sound like that Dr. Spock guy!
Chuck: No way, Spock wasn't the doctor Bones was the doctor!
Sarah looks at him with a weird and questioning look. "You are such a NERD!!"
She turns her body away from him and looks out the window while letting out an annoyed sigh.
Chuck: What did I say?
Over in Bailey’s room, Bailey awakens to find Casey’s arm draped over her. As she sits up Casey also wakes up and smiles.
Casey: Hi.
Bailey smiles: good morning. When did you sneak into my bed?
Casey: about 3 hours ago! I wanted to make sure you wouldn’t run away again!
Bailey: That’s not going to happen!
She lies back down and stares at the ceiling.
Casey: what are you thinking about?
Bailey lets out a long breath: I am thinking about my cousin and Sarah, and how this baby is going to change everything for them and for us all!
Casey: They should have thought about that before jumping in bed together! Now they have to face the consequences!
Bailey: That was a rather rude comment. I thought you were happy about the baby?
Casey: what gave you that impression?
Bailey: I don't know, maybe seeing you passed out in my chair reading a baby book?!?!
Casey: That was just part of my cover of being Chuck’s friend, and I see the baby book stuff as being prepared and mission ready!
Bailey: Right! Whatever you say Casey! And what about being Sarah’s friend, or mine? Is that all just a cover to you to?
Casey: It’s just a job!
Bailey: No Casey, it stopped being just a job a long time ago. I could see that when I first got here!
Casey: So what is it now if it’s not just a job?
Bailey: Keeping my cousin safe as well as Sarah and their baby is my number 1 priority. It’s not just a job to me anymore....its personal!

Chuck vs The Washington Apple Part 4
Casey is over sitting on Chuck’s couch looking at another book about the 9 month process of pregnancy. His mind begins to imagine how much pain a woman must go through trying to squeeze something the size of a watermelon out a hole the size of an orange! He shakes the images that appear in his head and flips the page to an actual picture of the process. He turns the book long ways to see the whole picture. He lets out a long groan as he can tell that it doesn't look pleasant!
Ellie walks in and startles him.
Ellie: Hi John! What are you reading?
Casey is caught off guard and is a bit embarrassed for staring at the picture.
Casey: afternoon, uhh Chuck bought these books to better prepare himself and I thought I might as well read them to.
Ellie: that is so sweet of you.
She sits down in the chair across from the couch and picks up a book and starts flipping threw the pages. She skims threw a few pages looking at the pictures and reading some of the information. Her facial expressions are ever changing from horrified to stunned. As she begins to read about the placenta (afterbirth) and how maternal blood loss is limited by the compression of the spiral arteries of the uterus as they pass though the lattice-like uterine muscles of the upper segment. The placenta is usually delivered within 15 minutes of the baby being born..She puts the book back down on the table and looks out into space. The thoughts and images that are going threw her mind are freaking her out, and she’s a doctor!
Awesome walks: Hey babe! John, how's it goin?
Casey: Devon. Fine.
Awesome: good to hear. (He looks back at Ellie and can tell she is not all there.)
Awesome: Hey space cadet! Are you ok?
She snaps out of it and looks up: Honey were adopting... ok!
She gets up from the chair and walks to her room and shuts the door.
Awesome is confused: Ok...what has gotten into her?
Casey grabs a book and hands it to him.
Casey: here, try a little light reading then you will understand!
Awesome looks at the book then back towards the bedroom and doesn't know what to do so he sits down and begins to read.
We switch over to Chuck, who is in his room lying on the bed. His perplexed facial expression shows that he is deep in thought. Was he ready for this? Would he even be a good father? He shakes the questions from his head and thinks about what Sarah must be thinking, she never thought about these things or did she? If she is pregnant would she want to keep it or… No, there is no way abortion is anywhere in the cards, but what about giving it up for adoption? Having a kid when you’re a spy cannot be very good for business! Chuck massages his temples as he can foresee a very long talk with Sarah if she is pregnant!
He looks at his watch and decides to call Sarah to see what progress she has made, if any and what happened at her appointment.
Just as he reaches for his phone it begins to ring.
Chuck answers: that is weird I was just about to call you!
Sarah: well I beat you to the punch! Guess what? Today when I was looking for Bailey, I was kidnapped by her agency after my doctor’s appointment!
Chuck: WHAT!?!? Are you ok?
Sarah: Yes I am fine, I talked with her supervisor and will be able to talk to her tomorrow after she completes her mission.
Chuck: that's great, I guess you didn't have to try and find them huh? They found you!
Sarah: yah I guess I was being watched ever since I landed!
Chuck: that's kinda creepy!
Sarah: now I just need to convince her that I trust her and we need her to come back home.
Chuck lets out a grunt.
Sarah: what was that? (She laughs)
Chuck: nothing, you called here home.
Sarah: well Chuck that is my home now, anywhere I am with you is home to me!
Chuck: that's funny, I was about to say the same about you.
They blush as they feel flattered by the sentiments they both exchange.
Sarah is looking at her computer when she receives an email from Bailey with urgent written in the subject space.
She clicks on the email and reads the message,
Sarah, I know you and I need to talk but my supervisor told me you were here in DC and I need your help! Please meet me at Harpers Ferry ASAP!
Bailey.
Sarah: Chuck I need to go I think Bailey is in trouble!
Chuck: wait what did the doctor say?
Sarah is rushing to get her gun and a knife: Chuck now is not the time, I love you but I have to go...bye
Chuck: Sarah wait.....
It was to late Sarah had already hung up and was out the door.
Chuck hit end on his phone and laid back on his bed: God that woman gets on my last nerve when she does that!!!!
About an hour and a half later Sarah arrives in the old colonial town of Harpers Ferry. The town was small with a few tourists looking through the old historic civil war museums and old colonial houses. The place seemed peaceful and quiet, a little to quiet for someone who is trained to sense trouble.
Sarah walked around with a tourist group trying not to stick out till she was either contacted or found a clue to follow. When the tour ended and the group dispersed, the tour guide confronted Sarah.
Tour Guide: May I help you Mam?
Sarah: No thank you, I am just learning a bit of history!
Tour Guide: Well if its history your after, try hiking up the trail to Jefferson Rock! There is a lot of history up there!
Sarah: Thank you, I might just do that!
Sarah smiles at the guide the smile is returned as the guide leaves to go start another tour. Sarah looks at the map which shows the hiking trail to Jefferson Rock to be a moderate hike of only .08 miles. She laughs at the fact that it has been a while since she has been on a hike but as she starts walking she notices she is the only one on the trail. As she gets deeper and deeper into the woods, she starts to become more alert. The only sounds she hears are from the birds and surrounding wildlife as well as the rushing sound of water coming from the Potomac and the Shenandoah River.
She rounds the final bend of the trail when a camouflaged figure runs out and knocks her to the ground and holds her very still with their hand over her mouth.
Bailey: Sarah, what the hell are you doing here?
Sarah: You sent me an email saying you needed my help!
Bailey: I did not, you are not exactly the person I would be contacting if I needed help right now!
Sarah: why are we whispering and why are you wearing that?
Bailey: I tracked some leads to Fulcrum here to Harpers Ferry, they have been working out here in secret under Washington’s radar. When I arrived here, it turned into a giant game of man hunt.
Sarah is a little alarmed: and who is hunting who?
Bailey looks around when she hears sticks cracking not to far from where they lay.
Bailey: At the moment…
Sarah: Oh geez Bailey!
Bailey: when I let go of you run to those rocks down there by the river and take cover.
Sarah: No, not without you!
Bailey: Sarah now is not the time and I will be right behind you!
Sarah agrees and Bailey takes one last look around then lets go of Sarah. As she is running towards the river she notices Bailey didn’t follow her but is still on the ground. Out of the corner of her eye she sees a man come out from behind a tree and has a gun pointed at her, before she could reach for her gun a shot rings out and Sarah stops dead in her tracks.
She looks around and sees she is not hurt, then looks at the man as he falls to the ground. Bailey walks over to Sarah with a smile on her face.
Sarah: you used me as bait!?!?
Bailey: Yep, how else was I suppose to get us out of this mess?
Sarah looks at her and starts laughing: I guess I deserve that.
Bailey: Why are you here Sarah?
Sarah looks at her with a sad and apologetic face. She turns and walks next to the edge of the mountain with nothing below them except rocks and the river. Sarah had rehearsed what she would say to Bailey in this moment, but everything that was in her mind was now a blank. She paces back and forth trying to say something…anything, then when she looks back up at Bailey her eyes are filled with tears.
Bailey cannot stand the sight of seeing Sarah in tears and walks up to her and hugs her tightly and tells her it’s ok.
Sarah breaks the hug: No its not ok! I trust you…I do… and I want you to know that, and I want you to know that we need you, all of us Casey, Chuck, me. We want you to comeback home…I want you to comeback home!
Bailey looks at Sarah and can tell that she is telling the truth and the fact she has held these emotions inside has been killing her.
Bailey lets out a sigh and turns around to think and when she does she sees a fist flying at her hitting her in the face knocking her to the ground.
She stumbles to her feet and wipes the blood from her mouth. “I knew there was another one of you following me!” She gets in a defensive position and is caught off guard when she sees Sarah reach for her gun. As the man sees her attention being drawn away he lunges at Bailey swinging his arm around for another punch. Bailey looks back and moves to block his arm but is over-powered by his speed and weight, knocking her off balance and the two fall over the side of the mountain.
Sarah is shocked and horrified as she watches Bailey fall over the side, she screams her name as she runs to the edge and looks over the side. As she looks down she sees the man laid out on the rocks with blood running down the sides of the rock, there is no way he could have survived that fall landing the way he did. She looks around some more but cant see Bailey!
After continuously scanning up and down stream she sees Bailey emerge from the water a short distance away and collapse on the river bank. Sarah runs to her and pulls her out and away from the water. Her head is bleeding from hitting the rocks but she is conscious.
Sarah wraps her arms around Bailey to keep her warm, for the water temperature was very cold and Bailey was shivering. Sarah pulls out her cell phone and request helicopter evac, at Harpers Ferry near Jefferson’s Rock. After she hangs up, she holds on to Bailey tightly to keep her from going into shock.
Bailey: You know what...?
Sarah: What?
Bailey: You’re bad luck!
Sarah laughs: Why do you say that?
Bailey: Because when I am around you my chances of getting killed seem to increase!
Sarah: That may be true but if you weren’t around who else would save me?
Bailey laughs then shivers: Your team seems to be doing a pretty good job with that!
Sarah: Our team!
Bailey looks up at her then back down as she grabs onto one of Sarah’s arms that are wrapped around her and holds it tight.
Bailey: Right! Our team!
Sarah smiles and hugs her tightly again: Thank you!
The helicopter is in view and Sarah helps Bailey up and they walk to the landing area.
Bailey: Don’t thank me yet, we need to straighten out a few things first, especially with your bosses.
Sarah: Just as long as we all can stay together I don’t care, oh yeah there is another reason why I want you to comeback!
Bailey: What’s that?
They climb into the helicopter and get situated, then the pilot takes off. Inside you see Sarah talking to Bailey and the expression on Bailey’s face is unreadable.
Back in California, Ellie walks out of her bedroom and sees Chuck, Casey and Awesome in the living room all reading baby books, talking about the different stages of pregnancy and things you need to do to help your baby be healthy. She smiles and giggles at the sight thinking it is funny yet adorable that 3 grown men are taking such and interest in the process.
Ellie: Chuck have you heard from Sarah?
Chuck: Not yet, she said she will call me in a little while.
Ellie: Well I hope its soon, I am dieing to know what the results are!
Chuck: you and me both Sis, you and me both!
Chuck stands up and walks into his room and looks down at this cute little baby outfit he had bought when he went to the baby store. He knew it was too early to buy any cloths, for he didn’t even know what the sex of the baby was or if there was an actual baby. He just saw it and had to buy it! It was tan with black letters that read, “My mommy and daddy love me with all of their hearts!” He looks at it and smiles thinking that he hopes Sarah will love it just as much as he does!
Just then his phone starts to ring and he answers it without looking to see who it is.
Chuck: SARAH?
Sarah: yeah, I am here.
Chuck: Good, thanks for hanging up on me and leaving me in the lurch!
Sarah: I am sorry about that, I had to help Bailey.
Chuck: So you found her and talked to her, is she coming back?
Sarah: Yes Chuck she is coming back! We had a long talk and worked things out and we should be home tomorrow night after we talk to General Beckman and Graham.
Chuck makes a happy noise and jumps slightly in the air. Sarah hears this and laughs.
Chuck: and what about the other?
Sarah lets out a sigh as we see Chucks face as she tells him the results. His smile turns into a flat expression. Sarah finishes talking and tells him she will call him in the morning. Chuck hangs up the phone and puts the baby outfit back down on the dresser and walks into the living room.
Ellie: Was that Sarah? What did she say?
She can tell by his expression that he doesn’t know what to say. He walks up to her and gives her a big hug as he lets out a sigh.
Chuck: She found Bailey and they are coming home tomorrow night!
Ellie is a little confused about her brother’s behavior and rubs his back: Ok, that’s good news, what about the baby? Is she pregnant?
Chuck doesn’t release Ellie from the hug, instead he tightens his grip as he whispers in her ear.
Chuck: I hope your ready to be an Aunt!!!
Ellie: WHAT!!! REALLY!!!
Chuck lets her go and has his big Chuckish grin on his face with a few tears in his eyes. Ellie starts to jump up and down as Awesome and Casey walk over.
Chuck: I’m going to be a daddy!! (He laughs and cries tears of joy)
Awesome: YES!! Papa Chuck.. That is awesome!
Casey holds out his hand: Congratulations Chuck!
Chuck reaches his hand out and grabs hold and they have a very manly handshake.
Chuck: Thanks Casey.
They all laugh and hug Chuck and go sit back down in the living room.
The next morning in DC, Sarah and Bailey are in Mr. Dylan’s office talking about operation management and controllability. After the long discussion they all agreed on some terms that will benefit everyone and will allow Sarah and Chuck to continue their relationship and start a family.
Sarah: So you are the one that sent me the email to go help Bailey? And that was also your informant acting as a tour guide?
Mr. Dylan: That is correct Agent Walker, I had to put you 2 in a situation where you could work things out, and what better way than fighting for your lives!
Sarah: But I thought you wanted to keep Bailey here?
Mr. Dylan: I do, she is our best Agent, but I also understand that the heart is always going to play a factor in our jobs no matter how hard we try not to let it, and I think in this situation following what the heart says will benefit everyone.
Sarah: I wish you were my boss!
Bailey: Well if you think about it…he kinda is now!
Mr. Dylan lets out a laugh as Sarah and Bailey look at each other and smirk. He was right though, and it worked. Now the only thing they had to worry about was this meeting with General Beckman and Director Graham. They all stand up and head for the conference room down the hall.
Inside the conference room there is a long oval table with General Beckman and Director Graham sitting at the end of it. They stand up when they hear the doors open and see Mr. Dylan walk in followed by Bailey then Sarah. Graham and Beckman are stunned to see Sarah there.
Graham: Agent Walker what are you doing here?
Mr. Dylan: Agent Walker is here on my request, she assisted Agent Fisher yesterday in taking down some members of Fulcrum that we were tracking.
Beckman: What is this are we going to turnover or what?
Mr. Dylan: Still haven’t found any patients have you Martha?
Beckman: How dare you address me by my first name, you are still the loose cannon you were when we were married!
Sarah and Bailey are shocked.
Bailey: Wait… What?? You were married to her?
Mr. Dylan: Briefly, till I saw the light! (He shoots a smartass smile at Beckman)
Bailey and Sarah just sit back in there chairs waiting for the crap to hit the fan!
Graham: Can we get back to the matter at hand? We are here for the turnover of the operation.
Bailey: After much consideration I have decided to remain in control of the operation with some extra details.
Beckman: what details?
Bailey looks up at Mr. Dylan.
Mr. Dylan: Some of the details will be discussed by us after Agent Walker and Agent Fisher are well on their way back to California, but for now we will go over the primary ones.
1.Agent Fisher is the commanding Agent of the operation and will report only to me on matters of the intersect.
2.The intersect will receive information updates to keep him a valuable asset to us.
Beckman: We will make an upload of the Beta intersect for Mr. Bartowski to view, will that due?
Mr. Dylan: For now!
Graham: Sarah I am outraged that you would go behind our back and betray us! You will be punished!
Beckman: I think its time for Agent Walker to be re-assigned don’t you?
Graham: I was thinking the same thing myself.
Sarah has a worried expression on her face as she turns to Bailey.
Mr. Dylan: Actually, if you have Agent Walker removed from this operation we will also send back Agent Casey and the CIA and NSA will have no further contact or receive any information regarding the intersect. And im sure the big boys upstairs would love to hear all the dirty little details of your screw ups!
Graham lets out a long frustrated sigh: Fine, just so we can have some say in the matter, we can deal.
Bailey: You will, not a whole lot of say but your opinions will be dually noted!
Mr. Dylan: If I may, I will finish the rest of these details, then you two can get back to California!
Bailey: Sorry, please continue!
Mr. Dylan:
3.The CIA and NSA will be permanently assigning Agents Walker and Casey to the operation and can only be removed by Agent Fisher or myself.
4.All data and mission reports will be shared by our agencies.
5.Agent Walker and Mr. Bartowski are allowed to pursue a real relationship without fear of being compromised.
Director Graham and General Beckman look at each other and agree to the terms, as they had no say in the matter anyway.
Bailey and Sarah smile at them as they stand up to leave the room and let the bosses handle the rest.
Mr. Dylan: You two be safe on your way back and I want baby updates Agent Walker!
Sarah: Yes Sir! (She smiles as she sees the look of pure surprise on her supervisors face!)
As they walk out of the conference room Bailey puts her arm around a very happy and relieved Sarah.
Bailey: Let’s go home mommy!
They smile at each other as they walk away from the conference room. The camera pans out with a shot of the smiling best friends walking and laughing as they head on their way home!
The End of Chuck vs The Washington Apple.
Ellie walks in and startles him.
Ellie: Hi John! What are you reading?
Casey is caught off guard and is a bit embarrassed for staring at the picture.
Casey: afternoon, uhh Chuck bought these books to better prepare himself and I thought I might as well read them to.

Casey: Devon. Fine.
Awesome: good to hear. (He looks back at Ellie and can tell she is not all there.)
Awesome: Hey space cadet! Are you ok?
She snaps out of it and looks up: Honey were adopting... ok!
She gets up from the chair and walks to her room and shuts the door.
Awesome is confused: Ok...what has gotten into her?
Casey grabs a book and hands it to him.
Casey: here, try a little light reading then you will understand!
Awesome looks at the book then back towards the bedroom and doesn't know what to do so he sits down and begins to read.

After continuously scanning up and down stream she sees Bailey emerge from the water a short distance away and collapse on the river bank. Sarah runs to her and pulls her out and away from the water. Her head is bleeding from hitting the rocks but she is conscious.
Sarah wraps her arms around Bailey to keep her warm, for the water temperature was very cold and Bailey was shivering. Sarah pulls out her cell phone and request helicopter evac, at Harpers Ferry near Jefferson’s Rock. After she hangs up, she holds on to Bailey tightly to keep her from going into shock.
Bailey: You know what...?
Sarah: What?
Bailey: You’re bad luck!
Sarah laughs: Why do you say that?
Bailey: Because when I am around you my chances of getting killed seem to increase!
Sarah: That may be true but if you weren’t around who else would save me?
Bailey laughs then shivers: Your team seems to be doing a pretty good job with that!
Sarah: Our team!
Bailey looks up at her then back down as she grabs onto one of Sarah’s arms that are wrapped around her and holds it tight.
Bailey: Right! Our team!
Sarah smiles and hugs her tightly again: Thank you!
The helicopter is in view and Sarah helps Bailey up and they walk to the landing area.
Bailey: Don’t thank me yet, we need to straighten out a few things first, especially with your bosses.
Sarah: Just as long as we all can stay together I don’t care, oh yeah there is another reason why I want you to comeback!
Bailey: What’s that?
They climb into the helicopter and get situated, then the pilot takes off. Inside you see Sarah talking to Bailey and the expression on Bailey’s face is unreadable.
Back in California, Ellie walks out of her bedroom and sees Chuck, Casey and Awesome in the living room all reading baby books, talking about the different stages of pregnancy and things you need to do to help your baby be healthy. She smiles and giggles at the sight thinking it is funny yet adorable that 3 grown men are taking such and interest in the process.
Ellie: Chuck have you heard from Sarah?
Chuck: Not yet, she said she will call me in a little while.
Ellie: Well I hope its soon, I am dieing to know what the results are!
Chuck: you and me both Sis, you and me both!
Chuck stands up and walks into his room and looks down at this cute little baby outfit he had bought when he went to the baby store. He knew it was too early to buy any cloths, for he didn’t even know what the sex of the baby was or if there was an actual baby. He just saw it and had to buy it! It was tan with black letters that read, “My mommy and daddy love me with all of their hearts!” He looks at it and smiles thinking that he hopes Sarah will love it just as much as he does!
Just then his phone starts to ring and he answers it without looking to see who it is.
Chuck: SARAH?
Sarah: yeah, I am here.
Chuck: Good, thanks for hanging up on me and leaving me in the lurch!
Sarah: I am sorry about that, I had to help Bailey.
Chuck: So you found her and talked to her, is she coming back?
Sarah: Yes Chuck she is coming back! We had a long talk and worked things out and we should be home tomorrow night after we talk to General Beckman and Graham.
Chuck makes a happy noise and jumps slightly in the air. Sarah hears this and laughs.
Chuck: and what about the other?
Sarah lets out a sigh as we see Chucks face as she tells him the results. His smile turns into a flat expression. Sarah finishes talking and tells him she will call him in the morning. Chuck hangs up the phone and puts the baby outfit back down on the dresser and walks into the living room.
Ellie: Was that Sarah? What did she say?
She can tell by his expression that he doesn’t know what to say. He walks up to her and gives her a big hug as he lets out a sigh.
Chuck: She found Bailey and they are coming home tomorrow night!
Ellie is a little confused about her brother’s behavior and rubs his back: Ok, that’s good news, what about the baby? Is she pregnant?
Chuck doesn’t release Ellie from the hug, instead he tightens his grip as he whispers in her ear.
Chuck: I hope your ready to be an Aunt!!!
Ellie: WHAT!!! REALLY!!!
Chuck lets her go and has his big Chuckish grin on his face with a few tears in his eyes. Ellie starts to jump up and down as Awesome and Casey walk over.
Chuck: I’m going to be a daddy!! (He laughs and cries tears of joy)
Awesome: YES!! Papa Chuck.. That is awesome!
Casey holds out his hand: Congratulations Chuck!
Chuck reaches his hand out and grabs hold and they have a very manly handshake.
Chuck: Thanks Casey.
They all laugh and hug Chuck and go sit back down in the living room.
The next morning in DC, Sarah and Bailey are in Mr. Dylan’s office talking about operation management and controllability. After the long discussion they all agreed on some terms that will benefit everyone and will allow Sarah and Chuck to continue their relationship and start a family.
Sarah: So you are the one that sent me the email to go help Bailey? And that was also your informant acting as a tour guide?
Mr. Dylan: That is correct Agent Walker, I had to put you 2 in a situation where you could work things out, and what better way than fighting for your lives!
Sarah: But I thought you wanted to keep Bailey here?
Mr. Dylan: I do, she is our best Agent, but I also understand that the heart is always going to play a factor in our jobs no matter how hard we try not to let it, and I think in this situation following what the heart says will benefit everyone.
Sarah: I wish you were my boss!
Bailey: Well if you think about it…he kinda is now!
Mr. Dylan lets out a laugh as Sarah and Bailey look at each other and smirk. He was right though, and it worked. Now the only thing they had to worry about was this meeting with General Beckman and Director Graham. They all stand up and head for the conference room down the hall.
Inside the conference room there is a long oval table with General Beckman and Director Graham sitting at the end of it. They stand up when they hear the doors open and see Mr. Dylan walk in followed by Bailey then Sarah. Graham and Beckman are stunned to see Sarah there.
Graham: Agent Walker what are you doing here?
Mr. Dylan: Agent Walker is here on my request, she assisted Agent Fisher yesterday in taking down some members of Fulcrum that we were tracking.
Beckman: What is this are we going to turnover or what?
Mr. Dylan: Still haven’t found any patients have you Martha?
Beckman: How dare you address me by my first name, you are still the loose cannon you were when we were married!
Sarah and Bailey are shocked.
Bailey: Wait… What?? You were married to her?
Mr. Dylan: Briefly, till I saw the light! (He shoots a smartass smile at Beckman)
Bailey and Sarah just sit back in there chairs waiting for the crap to hit the fan!
Graham: Can we get back to the matter at hand? We are here for the turnover of the operation.
Bailey: After much consideration I have decided to remain in control of the operation with some extra details.
Beckman: what details?
Bailey looks up at Mr. Dylan.
Mr. Dylan: Some of the details will be discussed by us after Agent Walker and Agent Fisher are well on their way back to California, but for now we will go over the primary ones.
1.Agent Fisher is the commanding Agent of the operation and will report only to me on matters of the intersect.
2.The intersect will receive information updates to keep him a valuable asset to us.
Beckman: We will make an upload of the Beta intersect for Mr. Bartowski to view, will that due?
Mr. Dylan: For now!
Graham: Sarah I am outraged that you would go behind our back and betray us! You will be punished!
Beckman: I think its time for Agent Walker to be re-assigned don’t you?
Graham: I was thinking the same thing myself.
Sarah has a worried expression on her face as she turns to Bailey.
Mr. Dylan: Actually, if you have Agent Walker removed from this operation we will also send back Agent Casey and the CIA and NSA will have no further contact or receive any information regarding the intersect. And im sure the big boys upstairs would love to hear all the dirty little details of your screw ups!
Graham lets out a long frustrated sigh: Fine, just so we can have some say in the matter, we can deal.
Bailey: You will, not a whole lot of say but your opinions will be dually noted!
Mr. Dylan: If I may, I will finish the rest of these details, then you two can get back to California!
Bailey: Sorry, please continue!
Mr. Dylan:
3.The CIA and NSA will be permanently assigning Agents Walker and Casey to the operation and can only be removed by Agent Fisher or myself.
4.All data and mission reports will be shared by our agencies.
5.Agent Walker and Mr. Bartowski are allowed to pursue a real relationship without fear of being compromised.
Director Graham and General Beckman look at each other and agree to the terms, as they had no say in the matter anyway.
Bailey and Sarah smile at them as they stand up to leave the room and let the bosses handle the rest.
Mr. Dylan: You two be safe on your way back and I want baby updates Agent Walker!
Sarah: Yes Sir! (She smiles as she sees the look of pure surprise on her supervisors face!)
As they walk out of the conference room Bailey puts her arm around a very happy and relieved Sarah.
Bailey: Let’s go home mommy!
They smile at each other as they walk away from the conference room. The camera pans out with a shot of the smiling best friends walking and laughing as they head on their way home!
The End of Chuck vs The Washington Apple.

Chuck vs The Washington Apple Part 3
The next morning we see Chuck roll over on his back in bed. He yawns as he opens his eyes and stretches. He takes a quick look around his room and tries to remember how he got back to his apartment last night? His head did not hurt as bad as last night but he thinks that was due to the bottle of Advil and glass of water next to his bed.
Ellie must have done this, he thought. She was always looking out for him, making sure he stayed out of trouble. She is going to make a great mother some day! MOTHER....BABY... Oh god Sarah is going to kill me for opening my big mouth!
He reaches for his phone and decides to tell her now while she is on the other side of the country and can't kill him!
As the phone rings we switch to a shot of DC and Sarah’s apartment. She is in the kitchen making a cup of hot tea and walks over to her phone and sees that it’s Chuck and answers.
Sarah: Good morning Chuck!
Chuck: hey… Hey Sarah, I just wanted to call and see how you were, I am sorry I didn't do that last night!
Sarah: It’s ok Chuck, Casey told me what you did!
Chuck: He did? You’re not mad are you?
Sarah: No Chuck I am not mad, just stay away from the scotch ok!
Chuck: trust me after the migraine I had, that won't be a problem.
Sarah giggles on the other side of the line, which causes Chuck to smile at the sound of her laugh.
Chuck: so your not mad that Ellie and now possibly Awesome know that your pregnant?
Sarah: WHAT??? Chuck I thought I told you not to say anything till we found out for sure!!!!
Chuck: Hey..Hey you just said Casey told you everything.
Sarah: (in an irate tone) well it looks like he didn't because he can keep his mouth shut!!
Chuck thought to himself, no Casey didn't say anything because he knew Sarah was going to kill me and he could laugh about it!
Sarah calms down a little and talks in a low voice.
Sarah: Chuck.
Chuck matches her low tone: Yeah?
Sarah: I'm scared!
Chuck closes his eyes and lets out a sigh, that was the first time he had ever heard her say that.
Chuck: So am I!
There is an uncomfortable silence on the line as neither of them no what to say. Sarah’s eyes start to water but she snaps back into gear.
Sarah: I have to go. I am meeting with some people that could tell me where Bailey is!
Chuck: and what if they don't know?
Sarah: then I will try to come into contact with her superior!
Chuck: How hard will that be?
Sarah: well for an agency that does not exist, it’s not going to be easy!
Chuck: well good luck and I love you.
Sarah has a blushing face as she fidgets with her tea.
Sarah: I love you to....bye.
Chuck: Bye.
They both hang up and hope that Bailey won't be too hard to find. Sarah knew she had to be careful out here. She just can't go asking for Bailey while she is undercover, and she really would like to avoid a run in with General Beckman and Director Graham. If they knew she was trying to keep the control of the operation out of their hands and the reason for it, she would be added to a missing persons list!
Chuck makes his way into the kitchen a fixes a cup of coffee and looks over at Ellie who is sitting at the bar watching him.
Ellie: you want some scotch in that, might make it taste better!?!
The sarcasm in her voice was undeniable. Chuck new he had some explaining to do.
Chuck: Look Ellie yesterday was a hard day for all of us. We had just gotten back and were upset that Bailey left after she and Sarah got into a fight.
Ellie: what did they get into a fight over, you never told me they fought?
Chuck: It’s not really that big a deal, they are just having some best friend trust issues and Bailey thought it would be better for everyone if she got away for a while.
Chuck tried to stick as close to the truth without compromising himself. He could tell that Ellie believed him.
Ellie: ok continue.
Chuck: When we got back Sarah took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I tried my best not to freak out because I could tell she was freaked out enough for the both of us and told her no matter what things will be ok.
Ellie smiles at her brothers efforts to step up and be a man and putting Sarah’s feeling before his.
Ellie: oh my little brother, I think you and Sarah will make great parents, and this will be one lucky kid because it’s going to have me for an Aunt!!!
Chuck smiles and walks over and wraps his arms around Ellie and squeezes her tight: Thanks sis.
Ellie: You’re welcome.
Awesome walks in wearing a towel, as he just got out of the shower.
Awesome: Papa Chuck!!
He walks over and bear hugs Chuck, lifting him completely off the ground then setting him back down.
Awesome: This is going to be an awesome experience dude! I mean babies are just so cute and fun, and with Aunt Ellie and Uncle D here, you can count on us to help in anyway we can!
He hugs Chuck again then leaves to get dressed.
Chuck looks at Ellie: If my kid’s first word is awesome, he is never going near it again!
They both laugh.
Back in DC, Sarah had met with a few of her reliable sources but came up empty on the whereabouts of Agent Fisher.
It was early afternoon and Sarah was running out of time, for she had to be at her doctor’s appointment she had scheduled in an hour. She drove across town to the doctor’s office, as soon as she came in and filled out the required paperwork she was taken back to the examining room. She tried to hide the terrified look on her face with a smile when the doctor came in.
As the doctor walks in and reviews her paper work she introduces herself.
Doctor: Good afternoon Mrs. Bartowski, I am Doctor Walsh.
Sarah: Afternoon.
Doctor Walsh can tell that Sarah is a bit nervous from her frequent amount of fidgeting.
Doctor: Ok Mrs. Bartowski I need you to lye down and relax so we can find out if you’re going to have a baby!
Sarah lies down on the examining table and lets out a sigh and tries to relax.
Doctor Walsh: First time?
Sarah: is it that obvious?
Doctor Walsh laughs as she puts slight pressure on parts of Sarah’s stomach. When
Doctor Walsh applies pressure to Sarah’s lower stomach Sarah groans a little.
Doctor Walsh: a little sensitive right there.?
Sarah: Yes, what does that mean? Am I pregnant?
Doctor Walsh: Calm down Mrs. Bartowski, it could mean several things.
Sarah: Like what?
Doctor Walsh: well a lot of woman I see that have the same problem are just really stressed out! From what I can tell that doesn't seem to be your problem!
The doctor laughs at the comment she just made, which causes Sarah to laugh and relax a little bit more.
After the Doctor finishes her examination of Sarah she tells her that they will have confirmation in about an hour when her blood test comes back and the office will call her.
Sarah shakes Doctor Walsh's hand and thanks her for her help.
Doctor Walsh: Just doing my job!
Sarah laughs at that comment as well when she thinks about how many times she has said it.
As she walks out to her car she doesn't pay attention to the black van with tinted windows and no license plate parked next to her. She goes to unlock her door when the vans sliding door quickly opens and a man pulls her into the van. There is a struggle as the van shakes back and forth then it sits still. We see Sarah unconscious on the floor of the van as the man shuts the sliding door and the van drives off.
Back in California, Chuck walks into the apartment with a few books he had purchased on child birth and proper parenting. He also went by the baby store and picked up a few things. He sits down on the couch with a soda and a slice of left over pizza and started to read the book on child birth. He reads the first few chapters and puts his pizza down as he reads what's involved in the process of child birth and feels a little nauseous.
About half way through the book, Casey walks in the front door and looks at the book selection Chuck is reading.
Casey: What the....
Chuck: Hey I want to be prepared ok. There is a lot of information in these books!
Casey picks up a few books and throws them back on the table as he reads the titles.
Casey: Proper parenting, how to plan for an unexpected pregnancy. 9 months of Hell!
Just before Casey throws that book back he hesitates and sits down and starts to read it.
Chuck looks over and sees Casey reading the book and has a stunned look on his face.
Casey doesn't even look up at him, he can tell Chuck is looking at him.
Casey: What is it Bartowski? We are all in this together right?
Chuck smiles: right!
Casey: But if you ever tell anyone, I will kill you!!
The camera pans out with a shot of the two of them sitting in the living room reading baby books and looking at the pictures.
We see a close up shot of Sarah’s face and the camera pans out showing her body lying on a couch in a rather nice office.
As she starts to come to, she hears a voice over by the window and a figure of a rather tall and stocky fellow.
Man: Welcome back Agent Walker!
Sarah: Who are you?
Man: Agent Walker you should know better than to ask those kinds of questions! According to most people we don't exist!
The man comes into clear view of Sarah, she does not feel threatened by him but is rather curious to the way she is being treated.
Man: You can call me Mr. Dylan.
Sarah knew the name was a fake.
Sarah: Ok Mr. Dylan, what is it that you want?
Mr. Dylan: Oh no Agent Walker, the question is what is it you want?
Sarah looks confused.
Mr. Dylan: We have been watching your every move Agent Walker and when you arrived last night we knew you were coming to try to find Agent Fisher.
Once you started poking around asking questions we had to put a stop to that. See Agent Walker, Agent Fisher is in a deep cover right now, to pull her out would be suicide so whatever you came here for you can just forget it!
Sarah: NO!
Mr. Dylan: I beg your pardon?
Sarah: I said no! I came here to fix things with my friend and take her back home where she belongs.
Mr. Dylan: she belongs here with us.
Sarah: why don't we let her decide?
Mr. Dylan: she already did, that is why she came back!
Sarah: Ok Mr. Dylan, I will go back to California after I have had the opportunity to talk with Agent Fisher before her turnover to General Beckman and my Director. If she decides to come back with me you will let her, if she doesn't its no loss to you.
Mr. Dylan thinks about it for a few minutes before coming to a decision. Under any other circumstances he would have said no, but he knew this situation was different. He was actually very impressed by Sarah’s determination to find Bailey for she was going against her own agency!
Agreed, tomorrow night after she completes her mission you will have the opportunity to talk then the following day during our meeting with your supervisors she can announce her decision and whatever she decides is final!
Sarah: agreed, thank you Mr. Dylan.
Sarah is escorted out of the office and is taken back to her car. She hopes that Bailey will forgive her and come back home. As she starts the car she looks at her cell phone with a missed call and voice message from the Doctors office, as she listens to the message and hears the results of her pregnancy test, a sound of laughter and a sigh escape her as she hangs up phone and thinks about what she just heard!
Ellie must have done this, he thought. She was always looking out for him, making sure he stayed out of trouble. She is going to make a great mother some day! MOTHER....BABY... Oh god Sarah is going to kill me for opening my big mouth!
He reaches for his phone and decides to tell her now while she is on the other side of the country and can't kill him!

Chuck: So am I!

Chuck vs The Washington Apple Part 2
Chuck: Wha...Wha...What do you mean your pregnant? Like pregnant, pregnant, with like ah baby?
Sarah gives him an odd look then responds: Yes with a baby you idiot. Casey was messing with me because I was sick so I went and got a test and took it and it says positive!
Chuck: Well this has got to be a mistake, I mean it’s only been what……
Sarah: 8 weeks and 4 days.
She walks out of the bathroom with a look on her face that says her mind is a million miles away.
Chuck: Right, ok 8 weeks and 4 days, don’t you get like a…. (He moves his hands around trying to find the right words to say) a monthly warning?
Sarah looks up and gives him another odd look: Yes and I did get it which doesn’t make sense, this has to be wrong, this cant be happening!
Sarah slumps down on the bed with a 1,000 yard stare. Chuck notices Sarah’s state and gets down on both knees in front of her and takes a hold of both of her hands.
Chuck: Hey. It’s going to be ok! This is just another obstacle for us to face! Not like we don’t have enough on our plate as it is. (He half laughs but Sarah is not amused.)
Sarah: Chuck what do you think is going to happen when Beckman or Graham find out?
Chuck has a blank face.
Sarah: I will tell you what, they will re-assign me and we won’t be able to see each other again!
Chuck: Or you could just tell them you quit!
Sarah: It’s not that easy Chuck, spies just can’t quit.
Chuck: Well whatever happens we will face it together and it will all come out ok!
Sarah: How can you be so calm at a moment like this?
Chuck smiles and puts his hand on Sarah’s stomach: Because there might be something inside here that was created by you and me and will grow just as we will, (Sarah starts to cry) Things happen for a reason Sarah, and maybe this child is just another way to show us that we belong together!
Sarah’s tears are running full stream as she touches her forehead to Chuck’s, then puts her arms around him and hugs him.
Sarah: I am just so confused!
Casey walks in.
Casey: Oh god, kill me now!! I think I am the one that’s going to be sick.
Chuck and Sarah break apart and Sarah wipes her eyes and asks Casey what he was doing over here?
Casey: Well I just thought you would like to know that a little birdie back in DC told me that Bailey was there doing some recon on some possible leads to fulcrum!
Chuck: That’s great, we can go there convince her to comeback and not give control back to Beckman and Graham, then we don’t have to worry about being separated because you’re pregnant!!
Sarah’s eyes get big as she gives a scolding look to Chuck for opening his big mouth!
Casey’s eyes are just as wide when Sarah and Chuck look over at him and Chuck laughs.
Casey: I knew it!! The over emotional outburst lately and with the morning sickness I would say your coming up on 3 months, bang up job as usual Walker or should i say knocked up!!
Chuck: it's 2 and ½ months actually.
Sarah smacks Chuck in the arm, he grabs where she hit him and rubs the spot.
Sarah: Shut up both of you, look I took one generic pregnancy test from the store, it could be wrong. I will make an appointment to see the doctor when I am in DC.
Chuck: When you are in DC?
Sarah: Yes me, I am going alone, you and Casey are going to stay here and I am going to bring Bailey back.
Chuck: No, I want to go to, she is my cousin and I think I can convince her to comeback!
Sarah: Chuck I am the one that needs to fix things with her not you. She is my best friend and I need her, now more than ever so I am going.. alone!
Chuck: Right. Stay in California Chuck! (he knew he wasn’t going to win that argument)
Sarah grabs her suit case and re-packs it.
Sarah: I will be back in a few days, hopefully with Bailey and with a confirmation that is a little more concrete than a store bought test.
She takes her bag and heads for the front door.
Chuck: SARAH!
She stops and looks him in the eyes as he walks up to her and leans in to whisper in her ear.
Chuck: I meant what I said about the baby and us.
Sarah smiles at him and gives him a soft kiss on the lips: I know you did!
She turns back around and leaves.
Casey: Ok, let’s go lover boy, I’m sure we can find something to do till they get back!
Chuck: Why do I not like the sound of that?
Casey grabs him by the shoulder and throws him out the apartment.
Casey: Come on you can help me clean my guns and you and I can have a little chat!
Chuck: Casey I really do think…
Casey: I know you don’t think, now move.
Chuck: ok, I will just… yeah.
They walk over into Casey’s apartment and he pulls out a bottle of scotch and 2glasses.
About 5 hrs later we see Sarah arrive in Washington DC. There are images of the Lincoln memorial, the Washington monument as well as the white house.
As she walks to her rental car she sends Chuck a text message to let him know she has arrived safely.
Back in California we see a shot of Casey's apartment and Chuck who is a little intoxicated!
Chuck: (in a slurred and drunken voice) HEY, Sarah is in DC and says she is ok! She is very ok, I think there is nothing she isn't ok at, and I think she is the most super duper ok person I ever met!
He smiles and starts to laugh when he realizes he just said super duper and almost falls of the couch.
Casey laughs at him and says: way to go ace! (he laughs again while taking another drink of his scotch.)
Chuck tries to send a message back to Sarah but can't make out the letters to type it so he just sends: K.
Casey: you are so whipped by her it’s sad!
Chuck points his finger at Casey but can't hold it straight.
Chuck: When is it ever a bad thing to be whipped by someone? Especially when that someone is Sarah!
Casey grunts as he thinks being whipped by a woman is a sign of weakness.
Chuck: and think about it man, I am going to be a father! Like an actual little kid that is both Sarah and me running around. That is just so…… awesome man!
Casey: God I hope it takes after its mother!
Chuck: So do I really, I hope it has my brains and her courage, strength and common sense!
Casey: Chuck as much as it sickens me to say this, you are one of the most courageous people I have ever met.
Chuck: Really Casey?
Casey: No, not really!
He grunts again and laughs as he finishes the rest of his drink. Chuck looks at him and shakes his head, but then he smirks and lets out a laugh.
Casey: what's so funny?
Chuck: Oh nothing, I was just thinking about when the baby learns to talk if we can teach it to call you Uncle Sugar Bear!!
Chuck begins to laugh hysterically and falls face first into a pillow on the couch still laughing. Casey is in his recliner looking like he is about to throw his glass at Chucks head!
Back in DC, Sarah is in her apartment looking around at all of her stuff that she hadn't seen in so long. She reads the text message from Chuck and has a weird look on her face as she was expecting him to say a little more then K. It was 9 at night with the 3 hour time difference, and she had spent most of the day in the air, a nice hot bath and sleep sounded so good to her at the moment, she would try to track Bailey down tomorrow.
As she thought about what she would say to Bailey when she saw her, Sarah noticed she was rubbing her stomach. A slight smile came over her face as she recalled what Chuck said to her earlier that day.
Ever since she started to develop feelings for Chuck, starting a family and settling down was a thought that never entered her mind till then. Was she really ready for this? Give up being a spy and protecting something that was bigger than herself so she could have a family? Would she even be a good mother?
All of the questions just put her back in a confused and stressed out state. She let out a sigh and made a decision that she wasn't going to think about it anymore until she found out that it was true from a doctor!
A couple more hours have passed and back in Cali, we see Chuck passed out on Casey's couch and Casey passed out in his chair when there is a knock on the door and Ellie walks in.
Ellie: CHARLES IRVING BARTOWSKI!!!
Chuck sits up with quickness and grabs his head due to the pain that came from moving to fast. Casey's eyes open wide but he is not threatened when he hears Ellies voice so he doesn't reach for his gun.
Ellie: I have been worried sick, I have called your phone, I don't know how many times and you have been over here drinking!!
Chuck: Hey sis, could you like lower the volume on your tone, I hear echo’s in my ears!
Ellie gives him an evil and scary look.
Casey: What time is it?
Ellie: it's almost 9pm, how long have you 2 been drinking?
Chuck: ever since Sarah left to go bring back Bailey from Washington DC. We need her here, we love her and miss her and really, really want her here. Especially now that Sarah is pregnant, she needs her best friend here!
Ellie's eyes are open so wide they look like they are about to pop out of her head!
Ellie: WHAT!!!!!!!
Sarah gives him an odd look then responds: Yes with a baby you idiot. Casey was messing with me because I was sick so I went and got a test and took it and it says positive!
Chuck: Well this has got to be a mistake, I mean it’s only been what……
Sarah: 8 weeks and 4 days.
She walks out of the bathroom with a look on her face that says her mind is a million miles away.
Chuck: Right, ok 8 weeks and 4 days, don’t you get like a…. (He moves his hands around trying to find the right words to say) a monthly warning?
Sarah looks up and gives him another odd look: Yes and I did get it which doesn’t make sense, this has to be wrong, this cant be happening!
Sarah slumps down on the bed with a 1,000 yard stare. Chuck notices Sarah’s state and gets down on both knees in front of her and takes a hold of both of her hands.

Chuck vs The Washington Apple Part 1
Hi my name is Chuck and here are a few things you might need to know!
The team accepting the mission to Mexico. Carina showing up and pulling her tricks on everyone. Chuck pulling the drowning prank on Sarah. Bailey and Sarah fighting about trusting each other. Carina disobeys Bailey and Casey’s order and is captured and beaten. Sarah and Mr. Wilkinson rescue Carina while Bailey and Casey take down Velasquez and his associates. Bailey disappears and leaves a note for Sarah back at the Hotel. Chuck asks Sarah where Bailey is, Sarah replies “She’s gone!”
We begin with a shot of LAX and the team grabbing their suitcases and walking out to the car.
Sarah: We need to hurry up and get back, maybe she is still there.
Casey: I doubt it!
Chuck: Damit Casey, cant you just once think positive about something?
Casey: I do that all the time, that’s why I haven’t killed you yet!
Sarah: Stop it you two, I cant deal with this right now!
Casey: Wow Walker, are we being extra sensitive with our lady feelings today?!?!
Sarah gives a cold stare to Casey then tells him to shut up and get in the car!
As they return to the apartment complex, Sarah runs to the apartment only to find that Bailey had already been there, packed her things and left. She walked over and picked up the picture of the two of them from back in college and thought to herself, why couldn’t their relationship be like it was back then? Why did it all of a sudden have to get so complicated? She put the picture down as she noticed Chuck walking in and is sadden even more at the look of abandonment on his face.
Sarah: Chuck…I will fix this! I will get her back!
Chuck: It’s to late Sarah, she is gone and god knows where they sent her on assignment? Plus with her gone and Beckman and Graham taking over again I see a very little chance of them approving of our relationship and things…..(he has a discouraging sound in his voice) things are just becoming way to complicated!
Sarah is slightly confused and not liking his tone.
“What are you saying Chuck?”
Chuck: I think we need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situations that are about to take place before we can go any further with us.
Sarah is flabbergasted by Chuck’s statement but hides it behind her protective barrier.
“Ok Chuck if you think that is the best thing for us to do, consider it done.”
Chuck hangs his head and bobs it up and down in agreement and walks out of the apartment and over to his. As he leaves Sarah’s eyes become red, she was about to call out his name to stop him but with the best timing her phone begins to ring.
Sarah: Walker here.
Casey: I need you to get over here, the General and Director would like to have a word.
Sarah: I am on my way.
She hangs up her phone and puts the picture back down on the table and takes another look around the apartment. This place that had made her feel safe and for the first time in years like she was finally putting down roots now had a empty, melancholy feeling to it. She wished Bailey was here for her to talk to, the thought of it all made her stomach turn and she was all of a sudden overcome with a sick feeling and rushes to the bathroom.
Moments later she walks across the courtyard to Casey’s apartment and sits down on the couch.
Beckman: Agent Walker, are you well? You look like you have been throwing up!
Sarah: I am fine General, some of the food I at is not settling well with my stomach.
Graham: You didn’t drink the water down there in Mexico did you? You know there is a reason for that saying!
Sarah: No Sir, it was just the food, I will be fine.
Casey looks at Sarah up and down and grunts, which causes Sarah to look up at his smirking face.
Beckman: Well now that we have been informed by Agent Fisher that upon her return here to DC, she will be giving us total control of the Operation back.
Graham: That’s right, according to her reports, the intersect is already in the best capable hands for its protection and does not need higher supervision with you two on the job! You 2 are to be commended for a job well done, and I know that I speak for the General as well when I say we feel more comfortable having complete control of this matter.
Beckman: That is correct, but after we had this operation taken away from us before, we are going to make sure that does not happen again. We are going to double up on surveillance and missions, and we want to see the lack of professionalism that has been shown here recently to disappear and get back to business, is that understood?
Casey/Sarah: Yes, General
Casey: General, when is Agent Fisher expected back in DC for this turnover?
Beckman: At the end of the week, she is doing some recon for her next mission then will return here to give us a turnover.
Sarah: Do we have any idea as to her current location?
Graham: No, she fell of the map as soon as she returned to the states.
Beckman: Agent Casey, Agent Walker. I wouldn’t worry too much about Agent Fisher, she is the best her agency has to offer and her talents are better used in the field not there with the intersect. I suggest that you two gear up for some major changes that are about to happen!
Screen goes black.
Sarah: That maybe true but I need her here, and so does Chuck and so do you! Casey don’t you see what she is doing? She is hoping that we have realized that we have been fools and tell her we want her back and we trust her that is why she is taking her time with this turnover! I am going to go get her, I want my friend back!
Casey: Yeah, especially now that you have a bun in the oven!
Sarah: WHAT?? I do not. It’s just food poisoning.
Casey: Whatever you say Agent Walker, but I think you might want to go see if you have a Chucky Jr. growing inside you, and for everyone’s sake I hope it is just food poisoning because one of them is bad enough, I don’t want a mini Bartowski to chase around as well!
Sarah gets up from the couch.
Sarah: I am not pregnant, and we have other things to worry about! I don’t really want to go back under the control of Beckman and Graham. Bailey is the best thing for this team!
Casey: You could have come to this conclusion when we were in Mexico? It would have saved us from going threw all this trouble.
Sarah: Casey, are you going to stop busting my chops or are you going to help me find Bailey?
Casey: Oh, I am going to help you find her, but I will never stop busting your chops Mrs. Bartowski!! (He smiles at her as she gets frustrated and walks back over to her apartment.)
Over at Casa Bartowski, Chuck is in his room lying on his bed rubbing his temples trying to get rid of the headache he has.
Ellie knocks on the door and opens it, she walks over and sits on the side of the bed and looks down at her brother.
Ellie: What’s wrong little brother? Did you have a good time in Mexico?
Chuck: We were having a good time before…
Ellie: Before what?
Chuck: Before Bailey got called back to DC and just left us.
Ellie: Yeah, I saw her this morning, she said she had a job offer that she couldn’t turn down and she was sorry that she had to leave so quickly.
Chuck: I loved having her back after not seeing her for so long and then just like that she is gone.
Ellie: Chuck, she has a job to do and its not like she wont be back to visit, some things just have a higher priority than others.
Chuck: I know, I just feel…I feel like I did when mom left us, like what could I have done to make her stay?
Ellie: Oh Chuck no, don’t do this to yourself. There was nothing you could have done to make mom stay, and Bailey is different, she would not just up and leave without ever seeing us again.
Chuck: I hope your right sis, I don’t think I could take another person I love walking out on me when I need them!
Ellie gives him a smile and smacks his leg. “ I will see you later, I have to get to work.”
Chuck: Ok, have a good day at work.
Ellie leaves and Chuck lets out a sigh as he stares at the ceiling with a 100 different thoughts going around in his head.
Back at Sarah and Bailey’s apartment, Sarah is looking around for any clues Bailey might have left behind to give her an idea about where she is. After a vigorous search through the whole apartment she comes up empty, she sits down on the couch to relax, maybe if she stops looking for it, it will appear.
As she sits there she starts to think about what Chuck said earlier about figuring things out before they can continue with their relationship, it struck a cord with her due to the fact that he is the one now putting the job before her and its kinda a slap in the face. She then begins to think about the possibility of not being able to see Chuck romantically again due to Graham and Beckman taking over, if they found out she would be re-assigned without a second thought. She could not let this happen, she could not waist any more time, she needed to find Bailey and get her back there.
Chuck might be able to flash on something she thought! She calls his phone and leaves a voice message to meet her at her apartment in an hour if he wants to get his cousin back. After she hangs up she heads to the store, she knew Casey was just trying to get on her nerves about the possibility of being pregnant, but that was another thing she did not need clouding her mind, so she was going to be sure.
An hour later Chuck walks threw the apartment door and calls out for Sarah with no reply. He walks upstairs and into her room and calls her name again, as he says her name he walks by the bathroom and sees her standing there holding a thin plastic strip, with a look on her face that is confused and horrified.
Chuck: Sarah, are you ok, what’s wrong?
Sarah looks up at him and is trying to find the words to say in her confused state.
Sarah: It says positive!
Chuck is now the confused one: What says positive?
Sarah: Chuck…I’m pregnant!
The team accepting the mission to Mexico. Carina showing up and pulling her tricks on everyone. Chuck pulling the drowning prank on Sarah. Bailey and Sarah fighting about trusting each other. Carina disobeys Bailey and Casey’s order and is captured and beaten. Sarah and Mr. Wilkinson rescue Carina while Bailey and Casey take down Velasquez and his associates. Bailey disappears and leaves a note for Sarah back at the Hotel. Chuck asks Sarah where Bailey is, Sarah replies “She’s gone!”
We begin with a shot of LAX and the team grabbing their suitcases and walking out to the car.
Sarah: We need to hurry up and get back, maybe she is still there.
Casey: I doubt it!
Chuck: Damit Casey, cant you just once think positive about something?
Casey: I do that all the time, that’s why I haven’t killed you yet!
Sarah: Stop it you two, I cant deal with this right now!
Casey: Wow Walker, are we being extra sensitive with our lady feelings today?!?!
Sarah gives a cold stare to Casey then tells him to shut up and get in the car!

I am going to go get her, I want my friend back!
Casey: Yeah, especially now that you have a bun in the oven!
Sarah: WHAT?? I do not. It’s just food poisoning.
Casey: Whatever you say Agent Walker, but I think you might want to go see if you have a Chucky Jr. growing inside you, and for everyone’s sake I hope it is just food poisoning because one of them is bad enough, I don’t want a mini Bartowski to chase around as well!
Sarah gets up from the couch.
Sarah: I am not pregnant, and we have other things to worry about! I don’t really want to go back under the control of Beckman and Graham. Bailey is the best thing for this team!
Casey: You could have come to this conclusion when we were in Mexico? It would have saved us from going threw all this trouble.
Sarah: Casey, are you going to stop busting my chops or are you going to help me find Bailey?
Casey: Oh, I am going to help you find her, but I will never stop busting your chops Mrs. Bartowski!! (He smiles at her as she gets frustrated and walks back over to her apartment.)
Over at Casa Bartowski, Chuck is in his room lying on his bed rubbing his temples trying to get rid of the headache he has.
Ellie knocks on the door and opens it, she walks over and sits on the side of the bed and looks down at her brother.
Ellie: What’s wrong little brother? Did you have a good time in Mexico?
Chuck: We were having a good time before…
Ellie: Before what?
Chuck: Before Bailey got called back to DC and just left us.
Ellie: Yeah, I saw her this morning, she said she had a job offer that she couldn’t turn down and she was sorry that she had to leave so quickly.
Chuck: I loved having her back after not seeing her for so long and then just like that she is gone.
Ellie: Chuck, she has a job to do and its not like she wont be back to visit, some things just have a higher priority than others.
Chuck: I know, I just feel…I feel like I did when mom left us, like what could I have done to make her stay?
Ellie: Oh Chuck no, don’t do this to yourself. There was nothing you could have done to make mom stay, and Bailey is different, she would not just up and leave without ever seeing us again.
Chuck: I hope your right sis, I don’t think I could take another person I love walking out on me when I need them!
Ellie gives him a smile and smacks his leg. “ I will see you later, I have to get to work.”
Chuck: Ok, have a good day at work.
Ellie leaves and Chuck lets out a sigh as he stares at the ceiling with a 100 different thoughts going around in his head.
Back at Sarah and Bailey’s apartment, Sarah is looking around for any clues Bailey might have left behind to give her an idea about where she is. After a vigorous search through the whole apartment she comes up empty, she sits down on the couch to relax, maybe if she stops looking for it, it will appear.
As she sits there she starts to think about what Chuck said earlier about figuring things out before they can continue with their relationship, it struck a cord with her due to the fact that he is the one now putting the job before her and its kinda a slap in the face. She then begins to think about the possibility of not being able to see Chuck romantically again due to Graham and Beckman taking over, if they found out she would be re-assigned without a second thought. She could not let this happen, she could not waist any more time, she needed to find Bailey and get her back there.
Chuck might be able to flash on something she thought! She calls his phone and leaves a voice message to meet her at her apartment in an hour if he wants to get his cousin back. After she hangs up she heads to the store, she knew Casey was just trying to get on her nerves about the possibility of being pregnant, but that was another thing she did not need clouding her mind, so she was going to be sure.
An hour later Chuck walks threw the apartment door and calls out for Sarah with no reply. He walks upstairs and into her room and calls her name again, as he says her name he walks by the bathroom and sees her standing there holding a thin plastic strip, with a look on her face that is confused and horrified.
Chuck: Sarah, are you ok, what’s wrong?
Sarah looks up at him and is trying to find the words to say in her confused state.
Sarah: It says positive!
Chuck is now the confused one: What says positive?
Sarah: Chuck…I’m pregnant!
