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.
