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!
