Surprise! I own Chuck now. . . No wait I still don't own Chuck. Just this fic.

Chapter soundtrack: (Bon Iver- Bracket WI & Blindsided, Iron and Wine- Sunset soon forgotten, Joshua Radin- you've got some growin' up to do)

A/N, After Chuck regained his memory he moved out of Ellie and Awesome's apartment and back into the apartment he lives in now.

If there are any in continuities in my time line it's because I've adjusted somethings based on what I now know. (As the previous fic was written before Chuck vs. The Ring aired. So we're just gonna say Chuck has the new intersect, but season 3 never happened. Even though it's been AWESOME)

Also, these first few chapters do deal heavily with flashbacks, just to catch you up from my time jump.

If you haven't read Vs. The Coping Mechanism you probably need to because otherwise, this won't make ANY sense. And if you have read it, go re read it! :)

This takes place about 2 weeks after Coping Mechanism ended. . .

Without further ado. . . Sarah vs. Real Life

..

Waking up it almost felt like Pleasantville. Like everything was too perfect. It almost felt unfair that I should get everything that I wanted in this life.

Waking up beside of my Chuck, his arms wrapped around me, his fingers intertwined with mine. His even breathing mixed with the soft kicks of our unborn son provided a sweet morning lullaby as I began my day.

I could barely bring myself to get out of the bed, but I knew I had to. A glint of light caught my eye and I looked down at my hand, noticing the two rings that were on it. This wouldn't feel real for a while.

I couldn't believe that we were finally together again. It had taken so much for us to be together, and then he was almost gone. But it took that for me to realize I never wanted to be without him. . . .

…......

It was all quite a blur, from the moment Chuck was shot, to the coping mechanism because he thought that I was dead, to the very moment we were living in now.

"Sarah, do you have any idea how much this means to me? I've missed you like I can't explain. . . I thought you were gone forever."

"I understand Chuck, I've felt the same way for the past month. As much as I love eight year old Chuck, he wasn't you." I sighed sinking into his arms, as we laid silently on the couch, the TV drowning on in the background, as neither one of us said a word after my last statement.

Chuck pursed his lips and sighed. "Look, Sarah, I know what you said, about not caring what rules we break in being together, and I believe you. That's why I'm saying this now. You know how much I love you, and you know I want to be with you . . . I never want to be without you again. . .So marry me."

I was shocked, I really didn't know how to respond. I mean of course I was going to say yes, so the only word that came out of my mouth was. "When?"

"I dunno, how about, now?"

My eyes widened and my mouth formed an O in shock.

"Now?" I repeated again.

"Yeah." Chuck smiled, flashing his brilliantly white teeth. "Sarah Walker, will you run away with me and become my wife?"

I smiled and leaned forward to kiss him, but just before our lips met I whispered, "I'll go anywhere with you."

…

...........

A/N I know it's short but there is plenty more to come.(TWSS) Also I do not claim this is my best work ever, but CONSTRUCTIVE and PLEASANT reviews are appreciated. (I am having so self esteem issues and that's why I took a one year long break from writing.)

Let me know if you want to see more!

Thanks in advanced!
