A/N: Hello! I know there's been a whole bunch of people posting fics about what happened about the finale, but here I am adding another one to the list. This will be a series of one shots of what happens directly after the finale and beyond. Also, this will be in the same universe as "Casey's Next Step", and there will be crossovers between the two. It's not necessary to read both fics, but highly recommended. To those who have read "Casey's Next Step", I'm planning out the next one shot and should be up soon (no guarantees. It depends on how much time I have and the will to write).

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck, otherwise season 5 would have been much different and it would still be on the air.

"Ya know Morgan has this crazy idea."

"What is it?" Sarah asked anxiously.

"He thinks that with one kiss you'll remember everything."

Sarah laughed softly. "One magical kiss?"

"Yeah," Chuck laughed. "I know, it's—"

"Chuck?"

Chuck paused a moment before he responded. "Yeah?"

Sarah turned to face Chuck. "Kiss me."

Chuck turned to Sarah. He looked into her eyes and saw a familiar glint. The same glint in her eyes that he saw when they first went out together, and when Sarah told him that she loved him. Seeing that, he realized no matter what the outcome of Morgan's experiment, they were going to be together. Chuck leaned towards Sarah and abided by her request. He kissed her.

It was a gentle kiss. Chuck didn't want to rush Sarah into anything, in fear of losing her again. He so wanted to deepen the kiss between them, but he resisted the urge.

His lips moved softly against hers, a feeling that felt foreign, yet familiar to Sarah. She broke the kiss and gazed out into the ocean.

Chuck studied Sarah's expression, and his face fell. The only time she looked like that was when something didn't go according to plan. "I take it we add this to Morgan's list of failed ideas," he stated.

Sarah nodded slightly. "Yeah…I don't remember anything else."

Chuck's eyes focused on the sand in front of him. It was a desperate act, he knew that, but part of him wished it worked. "That's fine…I still meant what I said earlier, that I'm someone you can call. If you want, I can let you be now."

He tried to get up but Sarah grabbed his arm. She looked into his eyes and smiled. "I may not remember anything else, but I know one thing for sure. I want you in my life, and more than just someone I can call. I want to be with you."

Chuck's eyes brightened. "Really?"

Sarah nodded. "Yeah. I need to take things slow, but I feel that this is right. Quinn may have taken my memories, but you helped me to realize that we were meant to be together."

A smile came over Chuck's lips. He felt that he was smiling ear to ear as tears filled his eyes. She may not be the same Sarah, but she was still his.

"Chuck?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's go home."

As they approached the court yard, Chuck caught something out of the corner of his eye. It looked like Casey's Crown Vic, but he dismissed the thought. Casey would have been gone by now, off to find Verbanski. Chuck went to put his arm around Sarah's shoulder, but he froze when his arm was halfway there. It had become a natural reflex, one that he now had to keep an eye on.

They both entered the apartment in silence. Sarah looked around, noticing several parts of the décor that she would have contributed. The place seemed familiar, and not from the recent events. She knew this place, but couldn't recall anything. It was like she could recall only wisps of memories.

It frustrated her.

Chuck cleared his throat. "I'm going to order out. I know you're probably up to cooking, and I'm not much of a cook."

Sarah nodded. "Alright. I think I'll go take a shower."

"If you need anything just let me know," Chuck called out as Sarah walked down the hallway.

As she let the water fall around her, Sarah was in deep thought. She wanted desperately to remember everything with that kiss; she wanted to remember all the times that they had together. Like in Paris at the Chateau.

Sarah blinked in surprise. She had no idea where that came from, but she remembered it perfectly…like the other memories that slowly crept up on her throughout the past few days. Sarah turned off the shower and wrapped herself up in a towel. She brought a hand to the mirror and wiped some of the condensation off so she could see her reflection. Dark circles had formed under her eyes from the lack of sleep, and her eyes looked tired.

She dried herself, put on some clean clothes, and continued to towel dry her hair. Once she was satisfied with her somewhat disheveled hair, Sarah walked out of the bathroom and peered around the corner of the kitchen to watch Chuck. He was reaching up for some plates in the cupboard. Sarah smiled. Every time she saw him, her breathing hitched and her heart began to flutter. She knew in her heart that they were meant to be together, but her brain was mixed with confusion.

Chuck turned around and saw Sarah. He instantly smiled. "Feeling any better?"

Sarah nodded. "Yeah…still tired though."

He walked up to her and reached to put his hands on her shoulders. Chuck hesitated at first, but he finished the action. "Nothing that some sleep won't cure." Sarah nodded slightly, enjoying the feeling of having his hands on her shoulders. One of them slid down to her lower back as he led her to the table. "It's not much for tonight, but I ordered some pizza. Vegetarian, no olives."

"Thanks," Sarah said. Chuck pulled her chair out for her, then sat down on the other side of her. They ate in silence for a while before Sarah thought of something."

"Chuck, why didn't you tell me in Castle? You were going to, but you stopped."

Chuck swallowed his bite of pizza and set the slice down. "I wanted to, but I didn't want to push you. You said you needed space, and after I tried so hard during the mission to get you to remember, I figured you needed time."

Sarah folded her napkin and placed it in her lap. "I did get slightly annoyed during the mission because you were pushing so hard, but deep down I wanted to remember. I didn't know it at the time, but I do now."

Chuck closed the pizza box. "I don't want that to happen again…which is why I understand you need to take things slowly."

She nodded in response. "Well, I'm going to go to bed."

"Alright. You can take ou...my room, I'll sleep in the guest room."

Sarah shook her head. "No, I don't want to put you out of your room."

"It's no trouble, really."

"Alright then," Sarah replied. "Goodnight then."

"Goodnight."

Sarah's eyes snapped open and glanced at the clock. It was only 2:30 in the morning. She brought her hands over her face. Sarah had been tossing and turning all night, and she couldn't figure out why. The bed was amazingly comfortable. So why can't I go to sleep.

An idea popped into Sarah's mind. It made her nervous, but it was the only thing she could think of to help her sleep. Sarah tossed the covers off of her and slowly walked into the hallway. She quietly made her way down the hall to the guest room where Chuck was sleeping. When she was about to place her hand on the doorknob, she heard a sound from the other side of the door. She froze where she was, and listened more intensely. The sound came again. It was Chuck, and it sounded as if he'd been crying. Sarah opened the door a crack and peaked inside. Chuck's eyes were closed. She slowly opened the door and went inside as she continued to study Chuck's face. His eyes were slightly red and swollen. What's making him so upset? Is it because I'm not really the same person that he married? Is it because I've kept him at a distance since we've come back?

She reached down and gently pulled back the covers. Chuck stirred slightly as she did, but he didn't wake. Her heart raced as she began to slide herself underneath the covers. Being with him at this moment seemed right, but she was very nervous. Sarah never felt nervous before…Or have I?

Right now that didn't matter. She moved into a comfortable position beside Chuck, slowly moving her body closer to his. Chuck brought his hand around Sarah's waist and instantly his breathing became more regular. It was a familiar feeling for Sarah, as if it were part of a dream. She stared at the wall across the room, and realized that she can't put their lives in slow motion while she waited for her memories to return. She loved this man, and she wanted to be close to him. Sarah snuggled in closer and closed her eyes, instantly falling asleep.

Chuck felt himself waking up as the sunlight crept into the room, and felt something tickling his nose. He tried wiggling his nose to rid of the feeling, but it only made it worse. Chuck finally opened his eyes and saw a head of blonde hair right in front of him. He looked down and noticed his arm draped around her waist. Oh boy…

Sarah started to stir and turned over to face Chuck. Her eyes fluttered open and looked into his eyes. "Good morning," she said, sounding well rested.

"I uh, I…" Chuck stuttered.

Sarah giggled. "I know I said I wanted to take it slow, but I realized that this is right. I can't put our lives on hold while we wait for my memories to return. For all we know, I may never regain some of them. But I want to be with you now and not just living here and hoping for the best. That's how I've treated you since you brought me home and I'm sorry."

A huge smile spread across Chuck's lips. He leaned in closer to Sarah and did something he had wanted to do since they came home. He kissed her. Sarah brought herself closer to him and deepened the kiss, knowing that he would always be her home.
