I want to thank everyone who contributed with his/her opinion, and I'm going to tell you what suggestion were those:
supesfan18 - a girl
silversorbet- a boy and a girl
gleek599- a girl
EllaNovikoff- a boy and/or a girl
renmayling- a boy or a girl
So, I wanted Sarah to be pregnant of twins, a boy and a girl, that's why I asked for your help. But, you'll notice when you finish reading that there's a surprise factor: the third amniotic sac. But, there are three possibilities: it can have another boy, it can have another girl or it can be empty. I'll jsut answer that in my next story becuase right now I'm a little busy and I'm still undecided. Also, I'd like to see on the show Casey's act to Sarah and Chuck. Maybe we will, who knows? All I know is that I loved writing that...And obviously this story, I'll miss it!
Now, I leave you the last chapter. Enjoy it!
Ellie called one more time on that day. Before dinner, she called asking if everything went well and saying that she and Devon would be home by the end of the next day. Both Sarah and Chuck were trying not to think about the tests anymore and after dinning, they were both playing with Clara and her Lego's. Clara, now that have learnt how to walk she doesn't want anything else. Sarah laughs because Clara walks faster when Chuck follows her and later she showed Sarah she hadn't forgotten the hide and seek game with the hands. Clara got herself entertained so Chuck and Sarah cuddled on the couch, watching a movie. The baby girl walked to Chuck and he sat her at his lap, but instead of sitting, she lied over his chest and in a few minutes, she fell asleep. He moved her carefully to the bed, put the pillows on both side of her and got to the living room again and they both got that time to be alone.
By the morning, Chuck and Sarah awake up almost at the same time because they are hearing little knocks on the door.
"I go there." Sarah sits on the edge of the bed, stretches out and walks slowly to the door. She opens up and makes Chuck get up too by hearing her saying. "Hi Morgan, what are you doing here?"
"Can I speak with Chuck? And, can I get some breakfast?"
"Uh, now that you said that, I feel starving. I'll get dress up and I'll make it."
Chuck and Sarah intersect in the bedroom as she goes dress up and he's leaving already dressed.
"Chuck," He walks back and peeks on the doorframe. "start preparing something for breakfast. I'll be right there to help you."
"In making or eating?" He jokes. He notices she has been having more appetite, even she notices that. Before dressing up, she snuggles the bed sheets to Clara.
"Chuck, I have something to tell you." Morgan begins. "Casey and I took that mission, Nikitin is in jail and we got the CIA documents."
"What? How?" Chuck puts on the kitchen counter what he has in hands to make pancakes and looks at Morgan.
"Apparently he didn't like me that much and smashed my car in front of a cop." Morgan walks to the kitchen and helps Chuck making breakfast. "He arrested him, saw his criminal record and called the CIA. Casey and I kept the files and he spoke with one of his buddies in the Agency and they negotiated some things I haven't got pretty well. What matters is that we got paid!"
"Uh, what does matters?" Chuck says crestfallen. "Decker is going to trace it and freeze our account again."
"No, he won't, and all thanks to you buddy."
"What?"
"Remember when Casey and I told you to install that sort of virus on bank accounts and we said it was for a client?" Chuck only nods; he remembers spending two nights stuck in the Castle. "Well, those accounts were ours. What you did is basically bewilders other computers that try to hack ours. Basically, if Decker tries to access our money, the virus runs and makes the trails never end, locating bank accounts where they don't exist. For now, we're safe from Decker's hands."
"Well, that's good news."
"There's only one little thing…"
"What?"
"Casey and I spoke about sharing the profits of the mission with," At this point Chuck tries to interfere, but Morgan doesn't let him speak. "Chuck let me finish, please. We talked about sharing the profits, but he withdrew his part of the money. When I asked him if it was to share with you guys, he said he already had plans for the money."
"So?"
"So, he said he was sharing the money with you guys, why did he change is opinion in a few hours? Maybe something is happening and he needs help-"
"Or maybe this 'spy thing' is making you a bit more suspicious! He probably needs the money for his daily life, like everyone else." At the moment the two men had finish making the breakfast and Sarah is appearing on the division too.
"Uhm, I don't buy that! Something is going on."
"What you don't buy, Morgan?" Sarah intervenes in the conversation.
"Casey's behavior…it's abnormal!"
"Well, it's Casey we're talking about. He's reserved."
They sit at the table and start eating while Chuck has to be peeking to their bedroom, through the slightly open door to check on Clara. When they are almost finishing the meal, Chuck gets up as he sees Clara moving too much and whimpering. Sarah gets up and prepares the bottle with milk for her while Chuck is dressing her up.
"Wow guys, you already got it right!" Morgan comments, seeing Chuck and Sarah working as a team, taking care of Clara so fast and correctly. For the first time in the whole weekend, Clara agrees with the idea of being sat on a chair, and bites the nipple of the bottle. She's melancholic and always whimpering with red cheeks and drooling a lot. When she reaches a spoon she puts it on the mouth and bites it.
"Well, thanks guys for the delicious breakfast, but I need to get going." Morgan is near the door when he turns back and says. "And, good luck this afternoon; then Casey and I want to know."
"You told him?" Sarah asks Chuck, a bit upset after Morgan leaves the house.
"I needed to, they were worried. Don't be mad with them, or me! Our friends were worried, our second family was worried."
"Ok, I understand." Sarah looks at Clara and comments. "She's too ruddy, don't you think?"
"Yeah." He puts his hand on her forehead. "And I think she's feverish too; maybe we should check on her temperature." He carefully takes the spoon out of her mouth and rubs the index finger on her lower gum. "And, yep, just what I thought: a tooth is beginning to break through." Chuck leaves to get the thermometer and puts it under Clara's arm. "She has 100°F; I think it's a little higher."
"Let's wait a while and see if it decreases."
"Chuck, what was her temperature this morning?" Sarah asks while she's checking on Clara after lunch.
Chuck walks to her, sitting on the couch with their niece sitting on her lap. He sits next to them. "100°F, why?"
Clara shows him the thermometer. "She has 102°F now."
"We need to give her a warm water bath." Chuck grabs Clara in arms and takes off her cardigan. While he's taking her to the bedroom and is taking her clothes off, she whimpers and tries to catch everything to put in the mouth. In the meantime, Sarah is filling the bathtub.
"Oh," Sarah says, cleaning the water from her face. "looks like the bath is distracting her of the pain." She affirms it because Clara is happily slapping on the water, wetting them both.
"Please, Clara, you are soaking Uncle Chuck! Can you be nice and stop?" After Chuck asking her that, she slaps on the water once again and Sarah laughs. "Well, that was not nice at all! You know what will happen? The tickle monster will pass by here!" Chuck starts tickling Clara who laughs and wets them even more. Sarah smiles seeing Chuck, he's amazing with kids.
"Ok, I understand you two are having a lot of fun," She laughs and covers her face from the water that both are splashing to each other, while she supports her hands on Chuck's shoulder. "but, have you forgot today's appointment?"
"No, not at all. Come on Clara," He grabs her in arms and places her on Sarah's arms, already with a bath towel. "fun time is over."
"I'm dressing her up, you go dress up too."
"You nervous?" She asks Chuck while they are sitting on the waiting room.
"A little. You?"
"I am…And you baby girl?" Sarah turns to her niece, stroking her hair. "You're feeling better?" Sarah doesn't expect an answer, but it's obvious that Clara isn't any better. She has reddish eyes, she's warming up again and she's getting grumpy and is whimpering. Clara rests her head on Chuck's shoulder and accommodates. Sarah stomps her feet on the ground, nervous and confesses. "If I'm not pregnant, I'm stressed…"
"What scares you more?"
"It amazes me the idea that I may have a human being growing up inside me as we speak… I want to have a superhero with a little cape growing up inside me. I want it, and you want it too, right?"
"Yes, a lot. And we'll stick together and we'll be a family. And I'll prove how much I love you and our kids…everyday…for the rest of our lives." He grabs her hand and looks into her eyes. "You can count on me."
Sarah smiles and strokes Clara's hair again, whispering. "She's a cutie, isn't she?" Clara sleeps now, calm and peacefully.
"Mr. and Mrs. Bartowski?" A brunette nurse approaches them. "Dr. Lee is waiting for you."
"Thank you." Sarah answers, giving back a smile.
Dr. Aimee Lee doesn't even hold any time and just drops the news as soon as they sit.
"Let's just face it: that pregnancy test must have had a problem. The test confirms that you are pregnant, and by the amount of the hormones, you're already 8 weeks pregnant." Chuck and Sarah are agape and he even has to hold Clara tightly before he let her fall. "But there's more. Like I said, the hormones are too high, which indicates multiple pregnancies. Let's see them?" Dr. Lee points the marquise to Sarah and she looks at her up and down and gets up.
Chuck gets up too, still taken aback and gets closer to Sarah. Dr. Lee puts the gel on Sarah's belly and starts the ultrasound. "Amazing!" She says looking at the screen. "Unbelievable!" Dr. Lee looks at Chuck and Sarah who are still surprised and clueless. "In 14 years of work, you are my first couple that might be expecting…"
"Might expecting what, Doctor?" Chuck says anxiously. "Tell us!"
"Triplets." She finishes. "When there are cases of multiple pregnancies, sometimes the amniotic sacs can be empty, so you may be only expecting one child. Right now, we can only see clearly one, over here." She points. "This blurs right next to the baby can be the others two hidden. We'll have a better view in next ultrasounds."
"So, what should we expect?" Chuck asks.
"Based on those HCG levels I can tell you: at the best you may have triplets, at the less best, you can have twins. Congratulations mommy and daddy."
Sarah is near tears, Dr. Lee was too quick on dropping the news, but that doesn't matter now, she's out of herself; she's too excited, extremely happy. However, Chuck is near passing out; he just hasn't passed out because he has his niece in arms. He's joyful and he doesn't even know what to do. Dr. Lee sits at her desk and goes taking notes on Sarah's pregnancy. Chuck sits on the edge of the marquise and caresses the spots on the screen and then looks at Sarah. They smile brightly and she grabs his hand and rests it under hers on her belly.
"Two, maybe three little super heroes with capes growing inside you. Our babies, our children." He just can't stop smile and kisses her intensely and passionately.
Sarah wipes away her tears and smiles. "Yes, our little babies." She turns to Dr. Lee. "When can we come back?"
"Next month, the first trimester ultrasound. We schedule it later, alright?" Sarah and Chuck only nod, and before leaving, she says. "Congratulations again."
Ellie and Devon were also thrilled with the news, and they got even happier when they saw Clara walking and found out her first tooth was erupting. After they leave with Clara, Chuck and Sarah are still unbelievably stunned by the news, they more than anyone. On the sudden, someone knocks on the door; it's Casey and he wants to speak with Chuck. They talk outside the house.
"So, what's with Sarah?"
"She's pregnant. Twins, maybe triplets."
Even though it's very unlikely of Casey, he hugs Chuck, congratulating him, visibly happy. He takes of the pocket a paper bent and hands it to Chuck, saying:
"Morgan probably told you I withdrew the money that we received on the mission. I just remembered now that I haven't given you and Sarah the wedding gift."
"No Casey, I can't take it." He tries to push Casey's hand away, but he insists.
"I think it's enough."
"Enough for what?" Chuck unfolds the paper and is stunned with the number written on the check.
"I think it's enough for the house." And before Chuck could say anything else, Casey is entering home. "Thank you! If you hear me in any way."
Chuck enters home too and says. "Babe, would you mind if we sell this house to Morgan and Alex?"
"And where will we live?"
He shows her the check. "Casey offered us his wedding gift. He thinks it's enough for our house."
"Oh my God!" Sarah covers her mouth. "Is all this really happening?"
"I guess it is." He wraps his arms around her hips and pulls her for him. "I guess it is." They kiss passionately.
They got married, they were getting twins or even triplets and now they have enough money for the house they want. Could have they had better luck than that?
