The Wedding and the Surprise

"So do we tell them now," asked Sarah as they reached Echo Park for pre wedding preps.

"Well one cause of celebration is enough for now honey and besides…..," "Chuck Sarah come on quick , we have an awful lot of things to do," Ellie bumped into them at the fountain and almost dragged them into Morgan's/Casey's home. "Hey sis , what's the hurry , we had a long flight and I'm still feeling a bit dizzy." "Bartowski and Walker , you had an awful lot of time mid flight and now that you are here you're going to help Moron Grimes because my daughter has to get a perfect wedding."

"Hey Casey, I'm about to become your son-in-law and I'm your friend so can you please stop insulting me in front of everyone especially Alex." "Its okay Morgan and my dad may be right this time considering you have been playing for like three hours now." "I do it whenever I am tensed as it helps to calm me down," said Morgan as he pulled out of the game as Casey approached him with a look that could scare if not kill the bearded guy.

"So sis, what's the big hurry," "Chuck the jingle lights have to be set up and no one can reach there," pointing to a corner on the first floor, "Yeah bro I almost tripped twice while trying, that's so not awesome," the look on Devon's face with a few cuts was not an awesome sight either.

"So I just flash , go up there and set up the jingle lights and come down." "Well bro , that's really awesome but there's not enough space for me or you to stand up there and set up the lights, we require someone who is slim and fit and smaller than us."

"And…." Chuck could sense something was up. "Only Walker can do it numnuts." (Apologies if I spelt numnuts wrong.)

"Nooooooooo…." Chuck screamed as everybody in the room turned to him to see what was up with him. Even baby Clara started crying.

Sarah took Chuck to a corner and they started whispering. "Chuck its been just a week and I'm still fit, I don't know why you can't let me do it," " baby I'm worried for you and what's in there" pointing to her belly, which wasn't even showing yet. "Chuck we talked about it and you said that you won't stop me from doing daily stuff." "Well that's far off from daily stuff, you could fall down , its extremely dangerous…." Morgan got hold of the last words and said with a skeptical tone "What's dangerous Chuck for your super spy ninja wife?"

"Well she issss….." "Say it Bartowski we don't have much time before my daughter's wedding."

"Relax, John we still have one week at our disposal." Ellie then turned to Chuck, "Little brother tell me what you are hiding from us," now she was serious.

"Well she issss…." "Just say it Chuck," "Yeah buddy do it," "Say it Bartowski." "I'm pregnant," Sarah said before Chuck could open his mouth. And then the room was filled with Congratulations' , oh my god's and wow's . "Hey Clara , you're getting a younger brother or a sister after some time, Awesome isn't it."

1 week later

IT was a perfect wedding when the Colonel walked his daughter down the aisle and only the second time when John Casey cried after Sarah-Chuck's wedding. The photographer got a pic of that moment add then ran for his life when Casey went after him. The vows were exchanged as Morgan blabbed about his heroics with the tigress (S3 E15) and the current (S4 E5) and then about his video game skills which almost ruined the moment until Casey grabbed Morgan's neck and he got to his point. After it became official, the happily married couple went for their honeymoon in the Bolivia, a gift from the General Diane Beckman.

Chuck was talking to the General when she told him that the CIA had unfrozen almost half of their money nearly 400 million dollars for his contribution to the Agency and the country.

When Chuck told his lovely wife about the money, her hormones caught up with her and she kissed him in happiness and then everybody went to their homes to enjoy the night.

Almost a week later, Chuck found Ellie inside castle working in the research room. He was about to ask her, when the screen suddenly popped out. "Hello Bartowskis' , I believe you've met your sister Chuck." Ellie turned around and hugged her brother in one of her trademark bone-crusher hugs. "Ellie , what are you doing here?" "Chuck I recently got a call from general asking me if I wanted to worked with the Intersect project, and I was fascinated by dad's research so I decided to join the research myself."

"Yes Chuck , she is now the head of our research team and the best of the lot. Agent Bartowski , now there's been sightings of Fulcrum activity near North California so you, Colonel Casey and Agent Walker have to go for this mission ." "I thought we wiped them out when we killed Ted Roark?"

"Well Chuck, they have deep roots and they weren't wiped out entirely. They have pretty deep pockets . Beckman out. " The screen faded out.

In the last week, Sarah with the help of everyone else was able to convince Chuck that she could work with the CIA even during her pregnancy and Chuck had finally agreed to let her rejoin on the condition that she would go on Maternity leave after 4 months.

The following month went really hard for the entire team Bartowski because of constant encounters with Fulcrum and Fulcrum breaking into castle a few times , even Sarah was held at gunpoint once and it was only because of Devon (yeah almost everyone Chuck now knows is a spy)who had joined the agency with Ellie, and Casey that the team got out of that mess.

Chuck was disturbed from those events and really worried about his family, Sarah, the baby and their future. One morning , he reached castle when nobody was there to have some private conversation with the General .She was having breakfast when the screen popped out . "Sorry general did I disturb you?" But the look on her face was calm, too calm for Chuck's liking. "You're her alone, so I think you might want to talk about something important?" "Yes general, the recent break-ins into castle have made me think about my family. General my family remains in constant danger due to Fulcrum's activities and last week I almost lost my wife to them. We need to think of something and fast." "What do you suggest Chuck?" "Well I was thinking that we should shift our base of operations from Castle to somewhere else?" "Agent Bartowski the castle has served as a great base for operations and the Buy More is an airtight cover. And besides what other place do you have in mind?" "General do you remember our missions in the suburbs, that cul-de-sac which was a Fulcrum base." "Yes what of it Chuck?" "Well General I think we can make a new Castle there ." "Chuck the government wouldn't sanction money for a new base because we have already spent a lot on Castle and its still functional as you very well know." "Just hear me out general. I am talking about shifting the base of operations along with the team to the suburbs. If I am not mistaken, 5 houses were left in that neighborhood after CIA wiped out every piece of Fulcrum." "So what do you propose?" "Well, since Ellie as well as Devon have joined the CIA and Casey and Gertrude are back to working with the NSA, we all can move to that place .I am ready to fund the project with the funds that CIA unfroze." "So that means you are saying that all team Bartowski shifts together there." "Yeah Beckman, but there's just one problem, there are 5 houses but as far as I can count only 4 families- the Woodcombs, the Caseys, the Grimes' , and me and Sarah: the Bartowskis. I still don't know what to do about the 5th one. But what I do know is that we can make a new castle and then assign entrances to it from every house to it. Everyone involved is in on our secret and is a spy so the secret will be safe and the base of operations secure." "Well, I have someone in mind as the 5th occupant and your proposition seems quite good and with you funding most of it, I don't think that the agency would disagree in any way." "So is this a go on Operation Baseurbs?" "Base what, oh yeah it's a go from me Chuck, it might take a month or two to build the new castle so do you want me to inform anyone about this project ,maybe John or Sarah?" "General, I intend to keep it a secret from everyone until Operation Suburbs is complete." "Very well then .Beckman out." Chuck came out of castle and as he was walking towards the parking lot, a rush of adrenalin took over him.

My entire family is in spy business now and now we will have a base of operations of our dreams in the suburbs, wow, Sarah would be so excited. No, it's a secret and should that way until next month he thought. His mind than started spiraling from Ellie joining to Sarah questioning him and that he won't be able to withstand Sarah's tortures(he really enjoyed them in reality) but just as he was thinking he didn't know when he reached home. As he rang the doorbell chuck changed his expression so as to not give any hint to Sarah. He had become a great spy but Sarah still looked right through him, it was romantic and all but Chuck really got upset at times when he couldn't hide a thing from her. "Hey baby, how are you?" "I'm fine Chuck, how was your day?" Sarah said while looking up from the couch. "Oh just the usual .Mission debriefings and all that stuff you know. Nothing about the Operation B…" it was too late, the beans had been spilt. "What Operation?" "Oh nothing baby, just the Operation baby is coming soon," he tried to control the situation but "Charles Irving Bartowski, you might be a good spy butI'm still the best, tell me what you are hiding or you know what I can do." Sarah started to move towards Chuck and he knew where it was going as it never ended well for him as he always gave up on the secret but this time he wanted to surprise her so badly , he had to something so he finally spoke as Sarah came dangerously close to him. "Sarah do you trust me?" Ah! So he brought out the last trick in his love book. "Yes sweetie I trust you more than myself." "Then let me keep this secret, it is for your own good." "That's not fair Chuck, you know I hate surprises and we promised-no secrets, no lies." "Well technically you don't know anything about it so its not a secret, and besides I know you will like it." Chuck then flashed his most famous Bartowski grin and Sarah let go off the topic for now.

The next month was really hard for Chuck as he tried to keep the secret from everyone and Casey almost caught him off-guard when he saw Chuck and Beckman talking about something but Chuck fended him off by saying that it was something for Sarah. The new construction had been beautiful though Chuck only saw it from the outside because finishing touches were being given to CASTLE.

Everybody gathered in the old Castle as Beckman called them to meet Team Bartowski personally. Everybody was shocked that the castle was almost empty with nothing but a conference table and some chairs. "Team , I believe Chuck has something to share with you all." "Chuck, is that your surprise that General is talking about?" "Well technically the surprise for all of you but I think you may have a few more memories attached to it, Sarah." "What is it buddy, I can't contain my excitement?" Morgan was almost jumping when Chuck said, "Its better if I just show you." "Ughgh, Bartowski, where's my armory?" "You'll know in a while Casey."

They all followed as Chuck sped ahead in his herder. When they started closing in, Sarah noticed the surroundings and thought that it was familiar when she realized, "Chuck it is the suburbs from our Fulcrum mission, why are we here?" "You remember it. I thought that you didn't like it when you turned down my offer to watch a movie after the mission. But taking into consideration that you loved me back then , it might have had something to do with you trying to stay away from e but the I realize…." "Chuck" and she got Chuck out of his spiraling once more with a kiss and Chuck turned bright red blushing , and Sarah smiled when she realized she still had that effect on him.

When they all gathered in between the houses , Beckman initiated. "Well, this is a suburb Team Bartowski used on a mission, but on Chuck's proposal the CIA has set up a Base of Operations here because of all those recent attacks on Castle. Carmichael Industries' finances have been used to build it and there are houses here for every member of this team so Mr. Bartowski will hand it over to you. Ellie insisted that she didn't want it but Chuck convinced her to take it and told everyone about the circumstances that had led him to talk to General about it because of the danger to everyone involved. After they surveyed the houses and everybody thanked Chuck for their surprise all of them made their way to Castle via what was supposed to be Chuck's home as a thought pondered in Chuck's mind. "As you can see Chuck, the agency has installed retina based security to enter the new Castle which can only be accessed by you people and some superior agency officials like me." As they entered the newly outfitted castle Chuck asked, "Umm General, did you think about the 5th house and who is going to live in it or is it going to be left abandoned for a while." "No Chuck, its not going to be left out, I have found someone you know who is going to live in the fifth house and they are already down here." "'They' are here? Who's 'they' general ?" As they entered the conference room someone was sitting in there. "Mom?" Ellie and Chuck almost screamed on seeing one Mary Bartowski there. "Mom you're here,but wait a minute who's they?" Mary indicated them towards the research room as someone came out.

Hello, Charles, Eleanor."

"Dad!"
