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!
