A/N: Ok if these chapters are underlined/bold/whatever I have no idea why they are like that because I don't click any buttons to make them that way. A few things I should have said in my first story: For all Fulcrum agents, when I am talking about them or they are talking with a character I use their last name as their name. So there is a Dean Kline, when he talked it would just be Kline said. Also a lot of people liked the Sarah bear nickname from Chuck, which will stay, but it kind of gets shortened down to just bear.
Deceit
Chapter one
Chuck Bartowski walked into his apartment after running five miles to get breakfast and back to see his fiancé slowly making her way down the steps, fully dressed and beautiful, as per usual.
"Sarah, the doctor said for you to be careful, you shouldn't be up around like this with no one home." Chuck chided, rushing over to help her.
It had been a couple months since the mission where they killed the regional commander of Fulcrum, and since then only minor missions had been done while Sarah recovered. Technically Sarah had been approved to go back to normal activity by a regular doctor, and CIA doctor, but Chuck still worried about her.
"Chuck I am fine, it is just a little sore in the morning, once I go for run I will be fine." Sarah said a bit annoyed, he was always worrying and moaning over her health, it was cute, but tiresome.
"I just worry about you Sarah Bear." Chuck answered happily, giving his girl a kiss, before motioning to the breakfast he had picked up.
"Mmm I smell food." Casey said, announcing his presence as he and Carina walked into the apartment.
"You know you two could eat your own food." Joked Sarah.
"But then I wouldn't get to see my bestest friend!" Laughed Carina, walking over to greet Sarah with a hug.
"Walker, you good for a mission tonight?" Casey asked in his normal gruff voice.
"Of course, full clean bill of health." Sarah replied.
"Good, debriefing in five minutes with the general." Casey said, before grabbing himself a doughnut from the box Chuck had picked up.
A lot had happened over the past two months. Sarah had recovered from the gun shot wound, Carina and Casey officially became a couple, Beckman made Chuck a full agent, and cleared their marriage. It was decided since Chuck was still the intersect, any missions they did would be with light travel, but otherwise unless he flashed, they were really free to just live their lives.
Everyone was contracted until they were 35, which by then they were hoping to have a new intersect, but still everyone was pretty comfortable with the set up. For the two months while Sarah was hurt, either Carina and Chuck or Casey and Chuck would go on missions, someone always staying with Sarah. They had actually all become pretty good friends, even with Ellie and Awesome. They were ranked as one of the highest teams in the agency and were treated with the respect they deserved.
"Alright team lets get moving." Beckman called as she appeared on the screen. Quickly everyone walked over to start the briefing.
"What's the mission ma'am?" Casey asked, making sure things got right to the point.
"The regional commander has been replaced, but we don't know who he is. While we would love to just go in and attack again we know that is not a safe plan, so for now we are going to tail a couple of Fulcrum agents to see if we can figure out where the commander is at least living. Carina and Chuck will be the main actors in this set up, for they are a bit less known with Fulcrum agents."
Two pictures appeared on the screen, a beautiful brown haired, blue eyed girl and a black haired dark brown eyes man.
"These here are Agent Dean Kline, and Agent Jessica Neil. They are the newest recruits to fulcrum, making us believe they will soon be introduced to the commander shortly. Carina you are to get close to Kline, and Chuck you are to get close to Neil. This is going to be a long process, for we need to gain their trust before we start weaseling information out of them, but once we know who the regional commander is we can progress in taking down fulcrum, maybe this time find out were the main Fulcrum headquarters is located." Beckman summarized. "The mission will start next week, I will fax their information and locations by then. Until then, take a bit of time to reconnect with your contacts and friends to make sure the cover is solid. Especially you Mr. Bartowski, you are going to be hanging around with another woman, make up a story about her if you must, but try to keep it hidden from your sister."
"Yes ma'am." Chuck replied, staring at the picture of the girl on the screen. She looked like someone he knew, but he wasn't sure who she actually was. There was just something about her…
"Ok, that is all." Beckman replied quickly shutting off the screen.
"She never wants to stay and just shoot the breeze." Chuck mused.
"She is head of national security, she barley has time to eat much less shoot the breeze." Casey answered with a grunt.
"So Chuckles, we get to seduce some marks, excited?" Carina asked.
"Not really, I rather seduce Sarah then some Fulcrum agent." Chuck answered honestly.
"And see, that answer is why you don't have to sleep on the couch during this mission." Sarah laughed.
"What, are you jealous?" Chuck asked.
"Maybe a little, but I remember when you had to watch me seduce other men, so I trust you, like you trusted me." Sarah answered honestly.
"Good, because no girl could take me away from you." Chuck replied, giving his girl a kiss. "Dinner with Ellie and Awesome, tonight?"
"Sure. We should do something with them this week, like go to the beach too." Sarah pondered.
"To make sure we seem like a happy couple?" Chuck asked amused.
"We are a happy couple, but it would be to make sure if they saw you with Agent Neil they wouldn't worry about us." Sarah corrected.
"I love how that ring reflects your eyes." Chuck said suddenly, playing with the ring on her finger.
"And I love that it means within months I am going to be Mrs. Charles Bartowski." Sarah giggled back, deeply kissing the curly haired man.
"Oh please cut it out before up-chuck." Casey groaned.
"Ha funny, up-chuck, I get it." Carina laughed, earning an actual smile from Casey.
"So what should we do until dinner? I mean obviously stop by and ask them, but after that?" Chuck asked the group.
"I don't know about you, but I would love too…" Quickly Sarah leaned down and started whispering some things to Chuck. By the time she was done, his face was bright red all the way to his ears.
"Oh ew." Casey groaned again, grabbing another doughnut before leaving.
"Wait for me!" Called Carina as she laughed at Sarah pulling Chuck back up the stairs toward their bedroom.
________________________________________________________________________
Dinner at Ellie's house was just starting, and already things were going badly for Chuck and Sarah.
"We are so late!" Sarah whisper yelled as they ran across the terrace to the Awesome's home.
"Well you said join me, in the shower, not my fault." Chuck laughed out, as he knocked on the door.
"But still, you could have said-" Suddenly the door opened, ending their conversation/mini fight.
"Chuck! Sarah! Your late, I was thinking we were being stood up." Ellie laughed, hugging each of them.
This was really the first time all of them had been able to hang out in a while. After Sarah was released from the hospital they made up a story about her being shot when someone tried to steal her car, so of course Ellie noticed the ring when they came over to visit. It was drinks all around for a couple days while they celebrated together.
"Have any new plans for the wedding?" Ellie asked as she led them to the table to eat.
"Not yet, we are still deciding if we just want to elope and have like you guys and three other people, or actually have a big wedding." Sarah explained.
"Small weddings are awesome." Devon chimed in as he to joined the table after getting wine and beer for the guests.
"If small weddings are so awesome, why are we not having one on the beach?" Ellie asked.
"Because my parents…aren't…awesome?" Devon tried, hoping to stay out of trouble.
"Good point." Ellie admitted, kissing Devon on the cheek.
"This all looks so good Ellie." Chuck complimented as he looked at the meal around the table.
"Well I figured since Sarah is fully healed and you two engaged, and our wedding coming up, we might as well celebrate." Ellie explained, sipping her wine as they dinned.
"It tastes even better." Sarah sad as she started to eat.
Dinner then was filled with small talk and jokes. Chuck had everyone laughing about a story of Sarah being stubborn an not letting him help her do some things while she was injured. Sarah retaliated with some of her own stories. All in all in was a laughter filled meal, with wine and beers aplenty.
After dinner, they moved the conversation to the living room.
"Wow, it's only 10!" Ellie giggled, on her forth glass of wine.
"10! Oh we have to wait until 11:11!!" Sarah giggled. "So we can make a wish!"
"I love wishes!" Ellie screeched.
Devon and Chuck looked on and shook their heads, they had switched to water a long time ago, but decided to let their fiancé's be happy and goof off, even if it was going to lead to a nasty hang over.
"What would you wish for Sarah?" Ellie asked as the laid on the ground watching the fan spin around.
"Ummmm a pony." Sarah giggled out, caught up in the motions of the fan.
"I would wish foooorrr ummm oh! My dad to walk me down the aisle at my wedding!" Ellie cheered, before suddenly growing sad. "To bad no one knows where he is."
Chuck heard the comment and couldn't help but feel bad. He thought Ellie would want him to walk her down the aisle, not some dead beat dad.
Devon saw the somber look on Chuck and looked over sympathetically.
"Bro, she is just drunk, she won't remember this in the morning." Devon said, trying to soothe his soon to be brother in law.
"I know, but when your drunk to the truth comes out fast." Chuck replied, watching his sister and girlfriend giggle as the fan moved in circles.
"Saraaah?" Ellie called, turning on her stomach to face the blonde.
"Yes ma'am!" Sarah answered, taking a similar position as Ellie.
"How come you don't talk about your life a lot. Do you not like me?" Ellie asked sadly.
"No.. I love you! You are like my older sister! I just have a hard job, the less you know, the better." Sarah slurred out.
"I am like your sister?" Ellie asked shocked.
"Yea, I don't get along with my baby sister, so I like you better, but shhh don't tell her that." Sarah giggled.
Immediately that caught Chuck's attention.
"Oh hey, look at the time, we should go, she is drunk, they are both drunk, we, leave, yea that is for the best." Chuck stumbled quickly jumping up to pull Sarah to her feet.
"But it's not 11:11, we want to wish!" Ellie replied angrily.
"But…uhhh, you can't tell each other your wishes, so you should do it separately so you don't accidentally say your wish to loud, because then it won't come true." Chuck reasoned.
"Ohhh, yea! Yea! Charles you are so smart!" Ellie giggled, hugging her brother tightly.
"Right, yea, we should go then, say good night Sarah." Chuck commanded, trying to hurry the blonde out of the room.
"Good night Sarah!" Sarah said happily following Chuck out the door.
"Come for breakfast?" Devon asked as the couples mingled outside.
"Yea sure, 11? Ok good, good night!" Chuck yelled dragging Sarah to their apartment.
Once inside Chuck let out a huge sigh as he got Sarah into bed, having her take aspirin in hopes of avoiding a headache in the morning.
"Sarah has a sister?" Chuck asked aloud, but he was only answered by the quiet sounds of Sarah's even breathing.
