Author's Note: This is just a short interlude with the newest addition to the Bartowski clan, Jamie! Because you were dying to know what he's like, right? And besides, I had a stupid writer's block on the mission! 'Cause that wasn't even supposed to be in the story! But my very awesome imagination got the better of me and you know the rest. Anyway, time to meet Jamie William Bartowski!

Oh yeah: Disclaimer: I own no part of NBC, Chuck or any of the original characters and organizations. I do own Jamie, so BACK OFF! Joking…geez. But seriously…

Anyways…

JANE'S HOUSE, ENGLAND, SURREY

Jamie William Stanton (Author's Note: Remember he doesn't know that he's a Bartowski yet) sat playing Guitar Hero, in his bedroom, and thought about life. He thought everything was pretty good right now. I mean, he had just asked the most beautiful girl out in the world and she had said yes! Well, actually she said 'alright then' but let's not ruin the moment, shall we? He paused the game and got off his really comfy chair to walk to his mirror. He was a handsome lad, with light brown hair that was flicked across his head and lightly tanned skin. All the girls in his year thought that he had the best smile, but his mother refused to tell him where he inherited his smile from considering that neither her nor Jamie's father had a good smile. No offence to his mother, of course. He scowled at himself in the mirror. He even had a nice-ish scowl! Well, he was very good-looking…and vain. He glanced around his room and smiled. Amy, the most beautiful girl ever, was going to love this place! Or so he hoped. His room was tidy, quite big and was welcoming. The shelves were filled with books, fiction and non-fiction. The desk at the far side of the room played host to his large plasma TV screen. He was very proud of that, because he was the first of his friends to get one. Standing next to the TV was an Xbox 720 with a very small stack of video games piled on it. He knew he might have just wasted his money on the TV, when he could have got a lot of games instead. Ah well. He sat back down on his chair and picked up the plastic guitar. The game resumed and he carried on his winning streak.

3 HOURS LATER

"Jamie! Come off there now. You've been on there for far too long."

Jamie sighed as he carried on playing. He had only played what felt like 24 songs on Guitar Hero.

"Alright!" He called back to his mother. He had almost finished the song, which was by a new band called the Hooligans, when his tired mother came stomping up the stairs.

"Jamie! I thought I told you to come off."

"You did," said Jamie not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Then why aren't you doing it?" His mother glared at him. "Come off. Now!"

"I fucking am!" He protested.

"Your not."

"Am."

"Not."

"Am!"

"NOT! Get off now before I get your father up here."

Jamie jumped up and obediently pulled the plug to the Xbox. He loathed his father with every ounce of his being. His father, Rob, was a drunken bastard who had left his family, but then came back last year. He was now even more drunk and beat Jamie for fun. Jamie had since learnt to defend himself and was all right at kung fu. He had used kung fu, to the delight of many girls, to win tournaments and trophies that hung up on his wall. Rob Stanton was certainly the vilest man Jamie had ever met.

"And one more thing, Jamie, a friend of mine is visiting tomorrow. Her name's Sarah and she and I are good friends. You'll like her." 'You'd better like her; she is your mother.'

Jamie nodded and left his room, pulling out his shabby phone as he did so.

"Where are you going, Jamie?"

"Out."

"Yes, but where?"

"Don't know yet. I'm ringing Ben and see if he wants to go out. I'll be back soon, though, don't piss yourself, Mum."

"Alright, but don't hurt yourself. Last time you went out you…"

Jamie cut her off with one word: "Shit!"

"What?" Jane put her hands on her hips and stared at her 'adopted' son.

Jamie threw his phone on his desk and ran out the room, shouting to his mother as he raced downstairs.

"I've got to get ready for my date; can't go out!"

Jane laughed. "You do that, but be quick; you've wasted so much time on the Xbox, you don't actually have that much time left. Amy will be here in roughly…" She looked at her watch. "Ooh, in one and a half hours." She glanced up and smiled at her 'son'. Which reminded her…

"Oh, one more thing, Jamie?"

Jamie looked up from the mirror. "Yeah?"

"My friend's coming tomorrow. She'll be going for a…walk with you, so be good. Her name is Sarah. She's as good as gold; so don't be bad to her. She's done some…bad stuff in the past and she might say sorry to you, first off."

Jamie frowned. Saying sorry to someone as soon as you meet them seems a bit weird to him. "Okaaay. She sounds a bit weird, d'you mind me saying that?"

Jane frowned, also, but not in a confused way. In a stern way. "No, that's not alright. She is very nice and should be treated as such, okay?"

"Okay, Mum. Could you, err, leave because I'm kinda getting…" He pointed to himself, the mirror and his pile of his 'date-clothes'.

Jane smiled and left the room. Her smile dropped as soon as she reached her room. She had to give Jamie back to Sarah. Should she? Of course she should, she's Sarah best friend and her 'son' was actually Sarah's son. It would be completely wrong for Jamie not to know his own proper family. But really, should she? She had become so attached to him. She loved him like the son she never had and she thought he loved her too. Maybe it was wrong, giving him back, because he only knew this family. And then there was the case of him having to live in a new country, new school, new house, new people and no one person he knew. She needs to make a choice. She needs to make the right choice and she needs to make it now.

Author's Note: Hope you liked this little interlude and I hope you liked Jamie, too. He is based a little on me and some of my friends. I've decided to make a sequel on this story, as well. When this story is finished, suggestions for the sequel would be greatly appreciated. I'll pick the best and the person who wins will get a little shoutout in the first chapter of the sequel. Keep reading, reviewing and improving all your stories! :D Thanks!
