Post Season 5 of Chuck
Chapter 1
The Beach
Chuck drives up the beach hoping Sarah would be there. To his luck she is, he watches her for awhile, thinking to himself, should I go talk to her? Or should I just leave her with her thoughts? Not letting his thoughts over take him at all the possibilities that could come with each thought; he decides to go with the reason he come to the beach in hopes that she would be there. As he's walking toward the spot where Sarah is sitting he is giving himself a pep talk "just go talk so Sarah and let her know that you will always be there for her no matter what, for her to trust you, that you will always love her, andprotect her".
(As he approaches her)
Not wanting to scary her but mostly trying to hide the pain in his voice. Sarah he calls, almost in whisper. Sarah turns around shocked at who is walking toward her. Her eyes red a puffy from crying.
"Chuck what are you doing here? How did you find me?" Sarah says, but in the back of her mind thinking did he follow me, no he couldn't have I made sure I wasn't being followed, but how then? (Thinking again) Maybe this place has a special meaning. Tears started running down her face again.
Chuck now walking a little quicker seeing the tears rolling down her face. He quickly sat down next her close enough to touch. "Sarah, what's wrong?" He wanted to grab her and wrap her in his arms to show her that everything was going to be all right,but resisted knowing it wasn't a good idea after everything she's been through. She probably doesn't want a strange man that clams to be her husband touching her.
Chuck, she said again, wiping away her tears. What are you doing here? How did you find me? This time with her voice a little more stern than before. Chuck sits down next to her giving her a small smile out of the side of his mouth, and answers. I'm here for you Sarah, I came her to tell you that I will always be here for no matter how far away you are. To trust me, trust me when I say I love you, that I will fight for you, I will protect you from all the evil in the world, and that I will help you in every way possible to find yourself again even if that means. . . even of that means for us not to be together. Tears started forming in his eyes as he spoke the last words, he quickly looked away from Sarah's beautiful blue eyes, trying to hide his pain.
Tears started running down her face again. How could this man love her so much and be willing to do anything for her? She asked herself. Especially after I almost killed him and his sister, he still keeps coming back for me... me a cold hearted spy or so I thought, maybe I changed maybe this man Chuck Bartowski changed me, to learn to love again. Sarah now looking at the man to her left trying to figure out why every time she sees him, she feels his warmth and can't help but want to be close to him, or every time she looks into those chocolate brown eyes of his she can't help but lose herself in them. How can a man whom she can't remember make her get butterfly's every time she's in his presents? Chuck, she says once again, fighting back the tears. Chuck looks at her with eyes of love and concern. "How..um..how did you find me?"
Chuck looks down at his hands twiddling his thumbs, "I didn't follow you if that's what you are wondering, I...I was just hoping you would be here" now looking out on to the waves crashing into the shore.
Sarah looks down at her fingers and takes a deep breath, "this place is special isn't it?" Now looking at Chuck.
"Yeah, it is, it's the place..." Chuck stops mid sentence looking at Sarah then looking back at the ocean.
"It's okay Chuck you can tell me", Sarah says. Reaching out to touch his shoulder with her hand, but pulling it away in the same breath.
Taking a deep breath Chuck speaks, "It's...it's", taking another breath to rekindle his thoughts. "This is the place you found me after I defused a bomb using a computer virus, we are sitting in the exact spot where you told me to trust you..", letting out a slow breath, Chuck turned to look at Sarah. Her eyes are still beautiful even though they are red from crying (he thought to himself).
Sarah now trying to fight back another round of tears spoke, "Chuck what made you trust me?"
Chuck looking at his wife's gorgeous eyes an spoke, "I chose to trust you because of my heart, I sat on this beach alone all night or at least I thought I was alone, as the sun was rising you walked up and sat down next me, it was silent for awhile before you spoke and said 'Chuck I need you to trust me, I will not let any thing happen to you' I looked at you and I just knew that no matter what happened you would protect me". "Sarah", Chuck spoke again, this time with a little fire behind his words. "That is why I'm here...I'm here for you to trust me, trust that I will do anything to protect you, put all your worries and problems on me, I'm here for you, because you are the reason my life has meaning again", a lone tear fell from Chuck's eye as he spoke the last sentence.
Sarah now had a steady stream of tears rolling down her face as she listen to chucks words. Turning to look away from Chuck as she wiped the tears from her cheeks, she spoke in a lone voice almost in a whisper, "Chuck, tell me our story".
Chuck took a deep breath, then began to tell Sarah of their first meeting at the the Buy More how she asked him to fix her phone and everyday after that was a gift, every mission, every cover date, every cover kiss, then every real date and every real kiss was like a dream that he never expected to be his actual life and how he cherished every moment he got to spend time with her. They laughed and cried at all the memories Chuck had of them. After he finished tell her their story he look at Sarah who was now trembling and crying. Sarah spoke first through the tears and lump in her throat, "Chuck...uh..I'm...I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything I put you through it's not fair to you" looking down at her trembling hands. Chuck reaches out and places hand on hers and says, "Sarah do not apologize, this is not your fault. You should not have to go through this no one should. It was my job to protect you and I let you down" tears started running down his face, "I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for letting you down" letting go of Sarah's hand he looked away and wiped the tears falling down his face. Then he let out a small chuckle, Sarah looked on confused.
"Ha, you know Morgan had this crazy idea".
"What's the idea" Sarah said.
Chuck looked at her nervously and spoke, "he said maybe one magical kiss could bring back your memory".
"One magic kiss huh?"
"I know it sounds ridiculous, just...um...just forget I said anything", Chuck turns to stand up.
"Chuck". Chuck turns toward Sarah. Sarah looking nervous but found enough courage to speak, "kiss me Chuck!". Chuck looked at his beautiful wife and smiled before leaning in and touching her soft lips with his, bringing his hand up to her face drawing them closer to one another. The kiss started out slow, but the intensity of the kiss grew as one Sarah's hand one on Chucks neck the other grabbing a hand full of his brown curls. Sarah couldn't believe at how passionate the kiss was, she couldn't help but feel the love he had for her has their lips moved in sync. As the kiss broke she needed to catch her breath and remember where she was, how could she feel love for a man she couldn't remember? Chuck looked at her with eyes of hope, hope that the kiss brought back her memories of him. Sarah so much want to tell her "husband" that she remembered everything about their life together, but that wasn't the case she felt her love for him but had none of the memories.
"Did it work?" Asked Chuck, already knowing the answer to his question but hoping for the best.
"No, sorry" seeing the look of disappointment on Chucks face, Sarah answered quickly, "I may not remember you or our life, but I do feel the love I have for you and I know what we had was real". Chuck gave her his famous Bartowski smile, that couldn't help but make her heart melt. Sarah returning the smile spoke once more, "Chuck, I trust you, and I want my life back with you, will you help me get it back"?
"Of course baby, I will help you remember, we will take things slow day by day, okay?"
Sarah smiling from ear to ear, leaning in to give Chuck a quick peck on the lips. "Can we go home now?"
Chuck stands up and place his hand out helping Sarah up. Walking back to the car Chuck keeping a good amount of space between puts his hands in his pocket. Sarah feeling a sudden urge to be close to him, she laces her arm through his and pulling herself tight so she could feel his warmth. As they reach their separate cars Sarah looks at Chuck, "will you ride with me?" Chuck obviously not going to deny his wife he answers her "of course babe" giving her his Bartowski smile.
